The disciples saw the hatred of the Jews to Christ, but they did not yet see to what it would lead. They did not yet understand the true condition of Israel, nor comprehend the retribution that was to fall upon Jerusalem. This Christ opened to them by a significant object lesson.

Disciplene så jødernes had mod Jesus, men de forstod endnu ikke, hvortil det kunne føre. De forstod endnu ikke Israels sande tilstand, og de forstod heller ikke, hvilken gengældelse der skulle ramme Jerusalem. Dette åbenbarede Kristus dem i en betydningsfuld lære i anskuelsesundervisning.
