The first step was now to be taken in the organization of the church that after Christ's departure was to be His representative on earth. No costly sanctuary was at their command, but the Saviour led His disciples to the retreat He loved, and in their minds the sacred experiences of that day were forever linked with the beauty of mountain and vale and sea.

Nu skulle det første skridt tages til oprettelse af den menighed, der efter Kristi bortgang skulle være hans repræsentanter på jorden. Ingen kostbar helligdom stod til deres rådighed, men Frelseren førte sine disciple hen til det sted, han elskede, og i deres erindring var de hellige minder fra denne dag for stedse knyttet sammen med bjergenes og dalenes og søens skønhed.
