Christ was the light of the world. He was the fountain of all knowledge. He was able to qualify the unlearned fishermen to receive the high commission he would give them. The lessons of truth given these lowly men were of mighty significance. They were to move the world. It seemed but a simple thing for Jesus to connect these humble persons with himself; but it was an event productive of tremendous results. Their words and their works were to revolutionize the world.

Kristus var Verdens Lys. Han var Kilden til al Kundskab. Han var i Stand til at uddanne de ulærde Fiskere til at modtage det ophøjede Hverv, han vilde give dem. De Sandhedens Lærdomme, der blev givet til disse uanselige Mænd, blev af mægtig Betydning. De skulle sætte Verden i Bevægelse. Det syntes kun at være en ringe Ting for Jesus at knytte disse ydmyge Personer til sig; men det var en Begivenhed, der havde forbavsende Følger. Deres Ord og deres Arbejde skulle revolutionere Verden.
