Peter
was devoid of all schooling and so untrained that he could not remember the
days of the week. He would tie up seven loaves of bread and open one each day.
When he opened the seventh parcel he would know that it was the seventh day and
that he had to go to the synagogue. However, under Christ his spiritual
education was such that he became the cause of the enlightenment of the world.
Indeed, what holy beings are raised up under the shadow of the Word of God!
-'Abdu'l-Baha (Words
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, September 30, 1912, Salt Lake City en route to California,
USA, recorded by Mahmud Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
