We know Daniel, not for his work as a Babylonian government official, but for his service as Jehovah’s loyal prophet; Esther, not as queen of Persia, but as an example of courage and faith; Peter, Andrew, James, and John, not as successful fishermen, but as apostles of Jesus.
Taanielile ei mõtle me kui Babüloonia riigiametnikule, vaid ustavale Jumala prohvetile; Estrile mitte kui Pärsia kuningannale, vaid kui julgele ja tugeva usuga naisele; Peetrusele, Andreasele, Jakoobusele ja Johannesele mitte kui headele kalameestele, vaid Jeesuse apostlitele.
