No longer were they ignorant and uncultured. No longer were they a collection of independent units or of discordant and conflicting elements. No longer were their hopes set on worldly greatness. They were of "one accord," of one mind and one soul. Christ filled their thoughts. The advancement of His kingdom was their aim. In mind and character they had become like their Master; and men "took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus." Acts 4:13.

Nu var de ikke længere uvidende og uden dannelse. De var ikke mere en forsamling af hinanden uafhængige individer eller af uenige eller modstridende elementer. Deres håb var ikke mere rettet mod verdslig storhed. De var enige og havde ét hjerte og én sjæl. Kristus opfyldte alle deres tanker. Hans riges fremgang var deres mål. I sind og karakter var de kommet til at ligne deres Mester; og folk huskede, at de havde været sammen med Jesus.« Apg. 4,13.
