While he firmly reminded them of the consequences of their faithlessness, he was moved with pity by the miserable spiritual condition of the ʽam ha·ʼaʹrets, the lowly, ordinary folk among them. ​ — Matthew 9: 35, 36; 11: 20 - 24.
Ehkki ta tuletas neile järjekindlalt meelde ustavusetuse tagajärgi, oli tal kahju sellest, kui kehvas vaimses olukorras oli ʽam ha·ʼaʹrets – madalast seisusest lihtrahvas.
