At times Christ reproached His disciples with the slowness of their comprehension. He placed in their possession truths of which they little suspected the value. He had been with them a long time, giving them lessons in divine truth; but their previous religious education, the erroneous interpretation which they had heard the Jewish teachers place on the Scriptures, kept their minds clouded. Christ promised them that He would send them His Spirit, who would recall His words to their minds as forgotten truths. He shall teach you all things,” Christ said, “and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26. {6T 248.3}

Til tider irettesatte Kristus sine disciple for at fatte tingene for tungt. Han ilagde dem sandheder, som de var lidt mistroiske over for. Han havde været sammen med dem en lang tid og givet dem lektier i guddommelig sandhed; men deres religiøse baggrund, - den fejlagtige tolkning som de havde hørt jødiske lærere give skrifterne, - omtågede deres (249) tanker. Kristus lovede dem at han vil sende dem sin Ånd, som vil genkalde hans ord for dem, som glemte sandheder. »Han skal lære jer alle ting,« sagde Kristus, »og minde jer om alt, hvad jeg har sagt jer.« Joh.14,26.
