As soon as the passover was finished, the brethren left Jerusalem, and went to Galilee as they had been directed. Seven of the disciples were in company; they were clad in the humble garb of fishermen; they were poor in worldly goods, but rich in the knowledge and practice of the truth, which gave them, in the sight of Heaven, the highest rank as teachers. They had not been students in the school of the prophets, but for three years they had taken lessons from the greatest educator the world has ever known. Under his tuition they had become elevated, intelligent, and refined, fit mediums through which the souls of men might be led to a knowledge of the truth. {3SP 226.1}

Så snart som påskefesten var forbi, forlod brødrene Jerusalem og gik til Galilæa, således som de var blevet budt. Der var syv disciple i alt, som gik. De var klædte som ringe fiskere. De var fattige, hvad denne verdens gods angår, men rige på sandhedens kundskab og lydighed, og dette gav dem for Gud den højeste rang som lærere. De havde ikke studeret i profeternes skoler; men i tre år havde de lært af ham, som var verdens største Lærer. Under hans undervisning var de blevet uddannede, oplyste og forædlede og var således blevet skikkede til at bibringe menneskene kundskab om sandheden.
