Mariam was experiencing evangelization fatigue. She was tired of endlessly teaching catechetics.
She told the Rabbi, "I teach people the Word of God, and then many fall right back into their old sinful way of life."
Rabbi Jesus counselled her, "Be patient. You never know when a Saul becomes a Paul."
Never give up spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is discipleship duty to bear witness to God, not to endeavour to measure success of outcome.
If Jesus had become tired of teaching us, what would have become of us?
Witness with perseverance.
