When Joel and his sister visit Daniel and Leah, Joel tells Daniel that he has been waking up early in the mornings to listen to Jesus when he talks with the fishermen. When Daniel asks Joel if he thinks Jesus will help them, Joel tells Daniel that Jesus helped explain several specific points of the Law that have always puzzled him. Daniel is shocked that Jesus, who is only a carpenter, can understand more than the scholars that teach Joel. Joel then proceeds to tell Daniel that Jesus has the ability to take complicated parts of the Law and explain them in understandable terms. Joel also mentions that Jesus's messages are similar to his father's but somehow seem to go beyond. Joel then encourages Daniel to come listen to Jesus with him and invites him to come along on his next visit.
