Christ discerned the possibilities in every human being. He was not turned aside by an unpromising exterior or by unfavorable surroundings. He called Matthew from the tolbooth, and Peter and his brethren from the fishing boat, to learn of Him.

Kristus kunne se de muligheder, der fandtes i hvert eneste menneske. Han vendte sig ikke bort på grund af et utiltalende ydre eller ugunstige omgivelser. Han kaldte Mattæus fra toldboden og Peter og hans medbrødre fra fiskerbåden, for at de skulle lære af ham.
