When working for the unconverted Jews, he did not at once begin to preach that which they regarded as dangerous heresy, but commenced with doctrines upon which they could agree. Beginning with Moses and the prophets, he led them gradually from point to point, comparing scripture with scripture, tracing down the fulfillment of prophecy, showing the evidence that Messiah was to have come, and the manner of his coming. He then clearly presented before them the object of his coming, and what he was to have done upon earth, and how he was to have been received. {LP 160.2}

Når han arbejder med uomvendte jøder, begyndte han ikke straks med at forkynde det som de betragte som farligt kætteri, men bekyndte med de læresætninger som de var enige i. Han begyndte med moses og profeterne, og ledte dem gradvist fra punkt til punkt, sammenlignede skriftsted med skriftsted, skildrede profetiernes opfyldelse, viste beviset for at Messiask skulle komme, og den måde han kom på. Så præsenterede han klar formålet med hans komme for dem, og at han skulle gøre på jorden, og hvordan han blev taget imod.
