But they were not able to win many new [[converts]]. No [[city]] of all [[Galilee]] yielded so few [[souls]] for [[the kingdom]] as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorazin Chorazin].

These two weeks at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorazin Chorazin] constituted a veritable [[baptism]] of [[adversity]] for the twelve [[evangelists]] in that it was the most [[difficult]] and unproductive period in their [[careers]] up to this time. Being thus deprived of the [[satisfaction]] of winning [[souls]] for [[the kingdom]], each of them the more [[earnestly]] and [[honestly]] took stock of his own [[soul]] and its [[progress]] in the [[spiritual]] [[path]]s of the new life. | 155:2.2 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and the [[evangelists]] [[sojourned]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorazin Chorazin] for two weeks, [[preaching]] the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] to a small but [[earnest]] company of [[believers]].
