When His brothers spoke harshly to poor, wretched beings, Jesus would go to these very ones and speak words of kindness and encouragement. To those who were hungry and thirsty, He would bring a cup of cold water, and often would give them the food intended for His own meal. All this displeased His brothers. They threatened and tried to terrify Him, but He kept right on, doing as God had said.

Når hans brødre brugte hårde ord over for fattige og elendige stakler, kunne Jesus gå hen til de samme mennesker og tale venligt og opmuntrende til dem. De, der var sultne og tørstige, gav han et bæger koldt vand og ofte den mad, han selv skulle have haft. Alt sådant mishagede hans brødre. De truede ad ham og søgte at skræmme ham, men han vedblev at gøre, som Gud havde sagt.
