Historian Michael Grant asks a thought-provoking question: “How comes it that, through all the Gospel traditions without exception, there comes a remarkably firmly-drawn portrait of an attractive young man moving freely about among women of all sorts, including the decidedly disreputable, without a trace of sentimentality, unnaturalness, or prudery, and yet, at every point, maintaining a simple integrity of character?”
Mwanahistoria Michael Grant anauliza swali lenye kuchochea fikira: “Inakuwaje kwamba, kupitia mapokeo yote ya Injili bila ubaguzi, kunakuja picha yenye kuvutia sana ya kijana mrembo anayetembea kwa uhuru miongoni mwa wanawake wa kila namna, kutia ndani wale wasioheshimika sana. , bila chembe ya hisia-moyo, isiyo ya asili, au ufidhuli, na bado, katika kila jambo, kudumisha uadilifu sahili wa tabia?”
