But to every temptation He had one answer: "It is written." The wrongdoing of His brothers He did not often rebuke, but He told them what God had said. Nazareth was a wicked town, and the children and youth tried to have Jesus follow their evil ways. He was bright and cheerful, and they liked His company.

Men til hver fristelse havde han et svar: "Der står skrevet!" Sjældent påtalte han sine brødres forseelser, men han gjorde dem opmærksom på, hvad Gud havde sagt. Nazaret var en ugudelig by og både børnene og de unge søgte at få Jesus med på gale veje. Han var glad og munter, og de syntes godt om hans selskab.
