Simon takes Daniel to the synagogue on the Sabbath. He wants Daniel to see Jesus of Nazareth, who is supposed to visit the synagogue that day. Simon tells Daniel that Jesus, a "carpenter by trade", goes from town to town preaching the "coming of the kingdom".
When Simon and Daniel arrive at the synagogue, they find that it is very crowded. Daniel notes that Jesus is not an imposing figure in any way; he is slight, and "dressed simply in a plain white tallith that reach(es) to his feet". Yet his face radiates an ethereal light, which reflects "a burning intensity of spirit" within. Jesus speaks with a gentle voice which fills the room "with a promise of unlimited power". He exhorts the people to "repent, and believe", because "the kingdom of God is at hand" (Chapter 4).
