Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine you have a toy that lights up when you press a button, but one day it doesn't work. Jesus is asking why we don’t understand something even if our eyes and ears tell us it's true, just like wondering why your toy isn't working when everything seems fine.

Historischer Hintergrund
