134:3.4 Cymboyton arranged with J. to sojourn with them

134:3.5 J. stopped off on the return trip and delivered these

134:3.5 Never before or after did he say so much on one

134:3.7 and it was as such an independent teacher that J.

134:5.1 In the times of J. there were only two great world

134:6.15 the oft-referred-to lectures had been delivered by J.

134:7.1 When J. returned from the journey to the Caspian

134:7.1 he knew that his world travels were about finished.

134:7.1 He made only one more trip outside of Palestine,

134:7.1 he went to Nazareth, stopping over a few days to

134:7.1 In the middle of April he left Nazareth for Tyre.

134:7.1 From there he journeyed on north, tarrying for a few

134:7.2 he was known by various names in different parts of

134:7.3 three weeks of this period he worked as a tentmaker

134:7.3 He remained longer in Antioch than at any other

134:7.3 than at any other place he visited on this trip.

134:7.4 From Antioch J. journeyed south along the coast

134:7.4 coast to Caesarea, where he tarried for a few weeks,

134:7.4 From Joppa he traveled inland to Jamnia, Ashdod,

134:7.4 From Gaza he took the inland trail to Beersheba,

134:7.4 trail to Beersheba, where he remained for a week.

134:7.5 J. then started on his final tour,as a private individual

134:7.5 On this journey northward he stopped at Hebron,

134:7.5 Bethlehem (where he saw his birthplace),

134:7.5 Jerusalem (he did not visit Bethany), Beeroth,

134:7.5 he journeyed on north; passing east of the Waters of

134:7.5 he went by Karahta to Dan, or Caesarea Philippi.

134:7.6 The indwelling Adjuster now led J. to forsake the

134:7.6 he might finish his work of mastering his human

134:7.7 J. lived alone with God for six weeks on the slopes

134:8.1 J. made ready his supplies, and securing a beast of

134:8.1 he proceeded along the Damascus road to a village

134:8.1 he established his headquarters, and leaving his

134:8.1 he ascended the lonely slopes of the mountain.

134:8.1 Tiglath accompanied J. this first day up the mountain

134:8.2 J. had ascended the mountain only a short way when

134:8.2 mountain only a short way when he paused to pray.

134:8.2 Among other things he asked his Father to send

134:8.2 He requested that he be permitted to go up to his last

134:8.2 He went into the great test with only his indwelling

134:8.3 J. ate frugally while on the mountain; he abstained

134:8.3 The superhuman beings who confronted him on this

134:8.3 he abstained from food only a day or two at a time.

134:8.3 and with whom he wrestled in spirit, and whom he

134:8.3 and whom he defeated in power, were real;

134:8.4 J. spent the last three weeks of August and the first

134:8.4 During these weeks he finished the mortal task of

134:8.5 J. became absolutely assured of his nature and of the

134:8.5 He fully believed in, and did not hesitate to assert,

134:8.6 J. asked his Father if he might be permitted to

134:8.6 Caligastia, were present with J. and were made

134:8.9 when J. came down from his sojourn on Mount

134:8.9 J. had paid the last price required of him to attain

134:8.9 the so-called “great temptation” of J. took place

134:8.10 as J. was making his descent, he met Tiglath coming

134:8.10 He was a silent and much changed man as they

134:8.10 he took leave of the lad, giving him the donkey.

134:8.10 He then proceeded south by the same way he had

134:9.1 J. had a family meeting in Capernaum over the

134:9.1 on the way, John noted a great change in J..

134:9.2 J. and John stopped overnight at Bethany with

134:9.2 J. walked about over the near-by hills and engaged

134:9.3 but J. remained a thoughtful and silent spectator.

134:9.3 He viewed it all as misrepresentative of the character

134:9.3 He looked upon the doings of this day as a

134:9.3 He burned to give vent to the declaration of the real

134:9.3 J. did drop numerous remarks which disturbed John;

134:9.3 never understood the real significance of what J.

134:9.4 J. planned to remain throughout the feast of

134:9.4 Although J. did not participate in the merriment of

134:9.4 he derived pleasure and experienced satisfaction as

134:9.4 as he beheld the lighthearted and joyous abandon of

134:9.5 J. took leave of John, saying that he desired to retire

134:9.5 saying that he desired to retire to the hills where he

134:9.5 where he might the better commune with his Father.

134:9.5 but J. insisted that he stay through the festivities,

134:9.5 J. did not return to Jerusalem. After almost a week

134:9.5 the hills near Bethany, he departed for Capernaum.

134:9.5 On the way home he spent a day and a night alone

134:9.5 when he arrived at Capernaum, he seemed more

134:9.5 he seemed more cheerful than when he had left

134:9.6 J. went to the chest containing his personal effects,

134:9.6 And he worked several months, until January of the

134:9.6 After this period of working with J., no matter what

134:9.6 never wholly gave up his faith in the mission of J..

134:9.7 he spent most of his time on the interior finishing of

134:9.7 He took great pains with all his handiwork and

134:9.7 when he completed a commendable piece of work.

134:9.7 Though he wasted little time upon trifles,

134:9.7 he was a painstaking workman when it came to the

134:9.8 J. listened to these reports as John slowly worked

134:9.8 But J. worked on, making boats, until John had

134:9.8 J. laid down his tools, declaring, “My hour has come

134:9.9 But a great change had been coming over J..

134:9.9 who had enjoyed his visits and ministrations as he

135:0.3 was the visit, in company with his parents, to J. and

135:2.2 made a journey to Nazareth to visit Mary and J..

135:2.2 After bidding J. and Mary good-bye at the end of

135:2.2 John did not again see J. until the event of his

135:3.3 his parents concerning J. and by these passages

135:3.3 Neither did his talk with J., at the time of his visit

135:3.3 his distant cousin, J. of Nazareth, was the true

135:3.3 that he had come to sit on the throne of David,

135:5.2 About one hundred years before the days of J.

135:5.2 runs throughout the teachings of both John and J..

135:5.6 minds of the Jews of the generation of John and J.

135:7.1 but he was far from certain as to whether or not J.

135:7.1 teachings of his parents that J., born in the City of

135:7.1 he was sorely in doubt as to the part J. would play

135:7.2 John journeyed north, he thought much about J..

135:7.2 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you

135:7.2 he will gather the wheat into his garner, but the

135:7.2 the chaff will he burn up with the judgment fire.”

135:8.0 8. MEETING OF JESUS AND JOHN

135:8.1 J. had spoken favorably of John’s message, and

135:8.1 to see John once a week and brought back to J.

135:8.2 J. requested that they postpone the discussion

135:8.2 following day, when he would give them his answer.

135:8.2 He slept little that night, being in close communion

135:8.2 He had arranged to have noontime lunch with his

135:8.2 That Sunday morning J. was working as usual in

135:8.2 they knew that J. was very regular about such

135:8.3 J. laid down his tools, removed his work apron,

135:8.3 He went out to his brothers James and Jude,

135:8.4 were standing in line awaiting their turn when J. and

135:8.4 John had been inquiring about J. of Zebedee’s sons.

135:8.4 John was day by day expecting to see him arrive on

135:8.5 John did not look up to see J. until the Son of

135:8.5 When John recognized J., the ceremonies were

135:8.6 with emotion as he made ready to baptize J. in the

135:8.6 Thus did John baptize J. and his two brothers

135:8.6 an apparition immediately over the head of J.,

135:8.6 A great change came over the countenance of J.,

135:8.6 coming up out of the water in silence he took leave

135:8.6 And no man saw J. again for forty days.

135:8.7 John followed J. a sufficient distance to tell him the

135:8.7 John allowed J. to continue on his way after he had

135:8.7 that you are the Deliverer.” But J. made no reply.

135:9.1 the story of the Gabriel visitation to Mary before J.

135:9.1 J. spoke no word to John even after he had told him

135:9.1 They wondered where J. had gone, and when they

135:9.2 forty days of tarrying, waiting for the return of J..

135:9.3 the reputed Messiah, but J. was not to be seen.

135:9.4 three weeks after J. had left them, there arrived on

135:9.5 What was to be the relation of John to J.?

135:9.5 John rather decided, with the minority, that J. had

135:9.6 experience, and he prayed for the return of J..

135:9.6 organized scouting parties to go in search of J.,

135:9.7 looked up toward the north and beheld J. coming to

135:9.7 As he approached them, John stood on a large rock

135:9.7 This is he of whom I have said, ‘After me there will

135:9.7 is preferred before me because he was before me.

135:9.8 J. bade them return to their food while he sat down

135:9.9 Early in the morning of the next day he took leave of

135:9.9 He gave them no word as to when they would

135:10.1 Since J. had gone north into Galilee, John felt led to

135:10.1 had meantime departed for Galilee in quest of J..

135:10.1 never again preached as he had before baptizing J..

135:10.2 In the weeks following the baptism of J. the

135:10.3 going into Galilee to join the followers of J..

135:11.1 John longed to see J. but had to be content with

135:11.1 John was often tempted to doubt J. and his divine

135:11.1 If J. were the Messiah, why did he do nothing to

135:11.1 was a great test of his faith in, and loyalty to, J..

135:11.2 after reporting concerning the public activities of J.

135:11.2 “So you see, Teacher, that he who was with you at

135:11.2 He even feasts with publicans and sinners.

135:11.2 and yet he does nothing to effect your deliverance.”

135:11.2 He must increase but I must decrease.

135:11.2 J comes down to the earth from heaven and is above

135:11.3 did he wholly doubt the mission and divinity of J..

135:11.3 But it was a sore disappointment to John that J. sent

135:11.3 that he came not to see him, and that he exercised

135:11.3 that he exercised none of his great power to deliver

135:11.3 J. knew all about this. He had great love for John,

135:11.3 He had great love for John, but being now cognizant

135:11.3 he constrained himself not to interfere in the natural

135:11.4 John again sent trusted messengers to J.,

135:11.4 when these two disciples gave this message to J.,

135:11.4 And this was the last word John received from J..

135:12.2 And this new agitation concerning J. of Nazareth,

135:12.7 and after laying it in a tomb, they went and told J..

136:0.1 J. began his public work at the height of the popular

136:0.1 There was a great contrast between John and J..

136:0.1 J. was a calm and happy laborer; only a few times

136:0.1 only a few times in his life was he ever in a hurry.

136:0.1 J. was a comforting consolation to the world and

136:0.1 J. spoke of John as the greatest of the prophets

136:0.1 he also said that the least of those who saw the great

136:0.2 When J. began to preach, there remained the

136:1.2 In the days of John and J. the more learned Jews

136:1.3 It therefore becomes evident that J. could never

136:1.3 a recognition of J. as the terminator of one age and

136:1.6 It was revealed only in J.; the world knew nothing

136:2.0 2. THE BAPTISM OF JESUS

136:2.1 J. was baptized at the height of John’s preaching

136:2.1 J. in no sense received John’s baptism as a rite of

136:2.1 J. was only following the example of many pious

136:2.2 When J. went down into the Jordan to be baptized,

136:2.2 he was a mortal of the realm who had attained the

136:2.2 He stood in the Jordan that day a perfected mortal

136:2.2 established between the mortal mind of J. and the

136:2.3 due to take place in the personality experience of J.

136:2.3 when he went down into the Jordan with his two

136:2.3 As John laid his hands upon J. to baptize him,

136:2.3 Thus did J. observe his own former divine spirit

136:2.3 And he heard this same spirit of Paradise origin now

136:2.3 Only the eyes of J. beheld the Personalized Adjuster.

136:2.4 J., looking up to the near-by Adjuster, prayed: “My

136:2.4 When he had prayed, the “heavens were opened,”

136:2.4 This heavenly vision was seen only by J..

136:2.5 voice of the Personalized Adjuster that John and J.

136:2.5 J. was in constant communion with this exalted Adj.

136:2.6 When J. was baptized, he repented of no misdeeds;

136:2.6 he made no confession of sin.

136:2.6 At his baptism he heard the unmistakable call of his

136:2.6 he went away into private seclusion for forty days to

136:2.6 J., as he was and on Urantia, was following the

136:2.7 This day of baptism ended the purely human life of J.

136:2.8 (J. was almost thirty-one and one-half years old

136:2.8 thirty-one years old when he was baptized.

136:2.8 Luke says that J. was baptized in the fifteenth year

136:3.1 J. had endured the great temptation of his mortal

136:3.1 when he had been wet with the dews of Mount

136:3.1 he had met and defeated the Urantia pretender,

136:3.1 J. of Nazareth had become the Planetary Prince of

136:3.2 After his baptism he entered upon the forty days of

136:3.2 he determined upon the policy to be pursued and the

136:3.2 phase of earth life which he was about to inaugurate.

136:3.3 J. didn’t go into retirement for the purpose of fasting

136:3.3 He was not an ascetic, and he came forever to

136:3.3 he came forever to destroy all such notions regarding

136:3.3 J. was then wholly self-conscious concerning his

136:3.3 He now fully recalled the bestowal charge and its

136:3.3 by Immanuel, ere he entered upon his incarnation.

136:3.3 He now clearly and fully comprehended all these

136:3.3 he desired to be away for a season of meditation so

136:3.3 so that he could think out the plans and decide upon

136:3.4 J. encountered his universe chief executive,

136:3.4 now laid before J. information indicating that his

136:3.4 that day when he came down from Mount Hermon

136:3.4 J. was now informed, upon the highest authority

136:3.4 He had had this assurance direct from Paradise in

136:3.5 While he tarried on the mountain, talking with

136:3.5 appeared to J. and Gabriel in person, saying: “The

136:3.6 J. held converse with Gabriel regarding the welfare

136:3.6 work which he was about to undertake on Urantia,

136:3.6 he would be ever mindful of the counsel he received

136:3.7 the sons of Zebedee were engaged in searching for J.

136:4.1 J. formulated the plans for the remainder of his

136:4.1 He first decided not to teach contemporaneously

136:4.1 He planned to remain in comparative retirement

136:4.1 J. well knew that John’s fearless and tactless

136:4.1 J. began definitely to plan his program of public

136:4.2 The first thing J. did, after thinking through the

136:4.2 Carefully he thought over the advice given him

136:4.2 he was to leave no permanent writing on the planet.

136:4.2 Never again did J. write on anything except sand.

136:4.2 J. destroyed all of his writing that was preserved

136:4.2 And J. pondered well over Immanuel’s advice

136:4.2 political attitude toward the world as he should find

136:4.3 J. did not fast during this forty days’ isolation.

136:4.3 The longest period he went without food was his

136:4.3 when he was so engrossed with his thinking that he

136:4.3 with his thinking that he forgot all about eating.

136:4.3 But on the third day he went in search of food.

136:4.3 Neither was he tempted during this time by any evil

136:4.5 record as the “temptations of J. in the wilderness.”

136:4.5 J. thought over the whole span of human life on

136:4.6 Gabriel had reminded J. that there were two ways

136:4.6 two ways in which he might manifest himself to the

136:4.6 case he should choose to tarry on Urantia for a time.

136:4.6 And it was made clear to J. that his choice in this

136:4.9 It was made clear to J. that there were two ways

136:4.9 there were two ways in which he could order the

136:4.9 But it was indicated to J. that it would afford his

136:4.9 Immanuel, great satisfaction if he, J., should see fit

136:4.9 finish up his earth career of incarnation as he had

136:4.9 J. promised himself he would go back to the world

136:4.9 he would go back to the world to finish his earth

136:4.9 any two ways he would always choose the Father’s

136:4.9 he lived out the remainder of his earth life always

136:4.9 Even to the bitter end he invariably subordinated

136:4.10 communion with his own spirit that he might seek to

136:4.11 J. was always torn in his heart by two opposing

136:4.12 1. He entertained a strong desire to win his people—

136:4.12 And he well knew their ideas concerning the coming

136:4.13 2. To live and work as he knew his Father would

136:4.14 J. lived in an ancient rock cavern, a shelter in the

136:4.14 He drank from the small spring which came from the

136:5.1 J. was presented with the vision of the assembled

136:5.1 whether or not he would make use of these mighty

136:5.2 J. decided he would not utilize a single personality

136:5.2 J. did not constantly behold these attendant

136:5.3 J. assigned the immediate command of this

136:5.3 assured J. that in no case would these superhuman

136:5.3 J. voluntarily deprived himself of all superhuman

136:5.4 Adjuster took great pains to point out to J. that,

136:5.4 was J. admonished that, while the Adjuster’s

136:5.5 Thus did J. become apprised of the working out of

136:5.5 He had by a single decision excluded all of his

136:5.5 necessary for J. to remain constantly time conscious.

136:5.6 And this was the actual status of J. as he went forth

136:5.6 as he went forth to begin his public ministry on

136:6.1 J. now turned his thoughts toward himself. What

136:6.1 What would he, now the fully self-conscious creator

136:6.1 confront him when he returned to Galilee to resume

136:6.1 right where he was in these lonely hills, had this

136:6.1 Should he go in quest of food as any ordinary man

136:6.1 or should he merely exercise his normal creative

136:6.2 J. thus settled upon another and consistent policy

136:6.2 he now deliberately chose to pursue the path of

136:6.2 he definitely decided against a policy which would

136:6.2 But he could not promise himself, as he had already

136:6.2 J. decided that his lifework should be organized and

136:6.3 But J. was not concerned merely with this world

136:6.3 he was living a life designed to instruct and inspire

136:6.4 Before his baptismal illumination he had lived in

136:6.4 He emphatically decided to continue on in just such

136:6.4 He purposed to follow the unnatural course—he

136:6.4 —he decided not to seek self- preservation.

136:6.4 He chose to go on pursuing the policy of refusing to

136:6.4 He formulated his conclusions in the words of

136:6.5 His superhuman power he might possibly use for

136:6.5 he pursued this policy consistently to the very end,

136:6.5 “He saved others; himself he cannot save”—because

136:6.5 himself he cannot save”—because he would not.

136:6.6 J. knew the sort of Messiah his compatriots expected

136:6.6 he had all the powers and prerogatives to measure

136:6.6 but he decided against such a magnificent program

136:6.6 J. looked upon such a course of expected miracle

136:6.6 he might accelerate natural law, but to transcend his

136:6.6 overawing of his fellow men, that he would not do.

136:6.7 J. sorrowed for his people; he fully understood how

136:6.7 he fully understood how they had been led up to the

136:6.8 He was not a Messiah coming to multiply bread and

136:6.8 He came not to minister to temporal needs only;

136:6.8 he came to reveal his Father in heaven to his children

136:6.8 while he sought to lead his earth children to join him

136:6.9 J. portrayed to an onlooking universe the folly and

136:6.10 This great decision of J. portrays dramatically the

136:6.11 J. thus revealed to the creatures of his universe the

136:7.1 He decided to exercise normal watchcare over his

136:7.1 As he was formulating this decision, J. was seated

136:7.1 J. was seated under the shade of a tree on a ledge

136:7.1 He fully realized that he could cast himself off the

136:7.1 nothing could happen to harm him provided he

136:7.1 provided he would abrogate his second decision

136:7.2 J. knew his fellow countrymen were expecting a

136:7.2 Well had he been taught that Scripture: “There

136:7.4 J. was consistently loyal to this decision.

136:7.4 he steadfastly adhered to the decision of this hour

136:8.1 which he presently decided in accordance with the

136:8.1 Should he in any manner lend his universe powers

136:8.1 He decided that he should not.

136:8.1 He settled upon a policy of procedure which

136:8.1 And he consistently lived up to this great decision.

136:8.1 Even when he permitted the manifestation of time-

136:8.1 he almost invariably admonished the recipients of his

136:8.1 And always did he refuse the taunting challenge of

136:8.2 J. very wisely foresaw that the working of miracles

136:8.2 He refused to become a mere wonder-worker.

136:8.2 He resolved to become occupied with but a single

136:8.3 and near-doubting, for J. was man as well as God.

136:8.3 It was evident he would never be received by the

136:8.3 Jews as the Messiah if he did not work wonders.

136:8.3 if he would consent to do just one unnatural thing,

136:8.3 J. decided that it would not and cited the presence

136:8.4 J. had traveled much; he recalled Rome, Alexandria,

136:8.4 He knew the methods of the world—how people

136:8.4 Would he utilize this knowledge in the furtherance

136:8.4 No! He likewise decided against all compromise with

136:8.4 He chose to depend exclusively on the Father’s will.

136:8.5 J. was fully aware of the short cuts open to one of

136:8.5 He knew many ways in which the attention of the

136:8.5 He could ascend the pinnacle of the temple and

136:8.5 But he would subsequently disappoint them since

136:8.5 he had not come to re-establish David’s throne.

136:8.5 And he knew the futility of the Caligastia method of

136:8.6 J. chose to establish the kingdom in the hearts of

136:8.6 J. was now passing through the great test of civilized

136:8.7 endowments of J. were of natural acquirement.

136:8.7 He was the product of the hereditary and

136:8.8 J. portrayed to all the worlds of his vast universe

136:8.8 J. decided that he would not lend his mission on

136:8.8 He refused to prostitute his divine attributes for

136:8.8 He would not countenance the transmutation of

136:8.8 J. of Nazareth refused to compromise with evil,

136:9.1 he turned his attention to the choice of methods to

136:9.1 this work; how might he continue the message?

136:9.1 How should he take over John’s mission?

136:9.1 How should he organize his followers for effective

136:9.1 J. was now reaching the final decision which

136:9.1 he further regard himself as the Jewish Messiah,

136:9.2 J. knew that this hope would never be realized.

136:9.2 He knew that the kingdom of heaven had to do with

136:9.2 He thought out the advisability of inaugurating the

136:9.4 J. perceived what kind of a truth-revealer he was

136:9.4 He discerned that God’s way was not going to be

136:9.4 He began to realize that the cup of the remainder of

136:9.4 might possibly be bitter, but he decided to drink it.

136:9.7 contention, and slaughter was repugnant to J.;

136:9.7 The idea of battle was repugnant to J.; he would

136:9.7 He would appear on earth as the Prince of Peace to

136:9.7 Before his baptism he had again refused the offer

136:9.7 And now he made his final decision regarding those

136:9.8 J. reached the conclusion that such utterances did

136:9.8 once and for all he decided upon his course.

136:9.8 He would return to Galilee and quietly begin the

136:9.9 By these decisions J. set a worthy example for every

136:9.9 he refused to apply material tests to prove spiritual

136:9.9 when he refused presumptuously to defy natural laws

136:9.9 And he set an inspiring example of universe loyalty

136:9.9 he refused to grasp temporal power as the prelude

136:9.11 J. has formulated a program for the establishment of

136:9.11 He will not cater to the physical gratification of the

136:9.11 He will not deal out bread to the multitudes as he has

136:9.11 He will not attract attention to himself by wonder-

136:9.11 Neither will he seek to win acceptance of a spiritual

136:9.12 J. made sure that these same Jews would certainly

136:9.12 J. sought to prevent his early followers alluding to

136:9.13 Throughout his public ministry he was confronted

136:9.13 request that he allow his followers to make him king

136:9.13 J. never departed from the decisions which he

137:0.1 J came down from the hills to rejoin John’s company

137:0.1 All that day J. mingled with the multitude.

137:0.1 He ministered to a lad who had injured himself in a

137:1.1 John’s leading disciples spent much time with J..

137:1.1 Andrew was profoundly impressed with J.; he

137:1.1 On the way back to John’s rendezvous he asked J.

137:1.1 And J., with hearty assurance, welcomed Andrew

137:1.3 Soon after J. and Andrew returned to the camp,

137:1.3 settled in his own mind that J. was the Teacher,

137:1.3 Andrew went on to say J. had accepted his proffer

137:1.3 suggested that he (Simon) likewise go to J. and

137:1.3 I have believed he was sent by God, but what about

137:1.3 Then Andrew beckoned to J. to draw aside while

137:1.4 besought J. to spend the night with them, to make

137:1.4 to make their house his home, and he had promised.

137:1.5 After J. had returned to Pella for the night, and

137:1.5 their long and futile searching in the hills for J..

137:1.5 They had known J. for some time, and they loved

137:1.5 They inquired where J. had gone and made haste

137:1.6 J. was asleep when they reached his abode, but

137:2.1 J. took leave of John the Baptist by the river near

137:2.2 That day, as J. and his four disciple-apostles

137:2.2 to Andrew and Ezra that J. was the Deliverer.

137:2.2 Andrew decided to follow J., but Ezra rejected the

137:2.2 This J. is a relative of John, and through much

137:2.2 those who believed in John but refused to accept J.

137:2.3 J. and his four disciple-apostles were well on their

137:2.3 J., looking ahead and up the road, saw one Philip

137:2.3 J. had known Philip aforetime, and he was also

137:2.3 kingdom of God, and he was delighted to greet J..

137:2.3 Philip had been an admirer of J. ever since he first

137:2.3 who lived at Cana of Galilee, did not know J..

137:2.4 associates of J. in the new kingdom and strongly

137:2.4 while J. was outlining to James the trip through

137:2.5 It suddenly dawned on Philip that J. was a great man

137:2.6 And Philip replied, “He is J. of Nazareth, the son

137:2.7 Philip led Nathaniel to J., who, looking benignly into

137:2.7 “You are right. He is indeed a master of men.

137:2.8 J. had now assembled one half of his future corps of

137:2.9 The associates of J. little understood why their

137:3.1 The next day J. sent his apostles on to Cana, since

137:3.1 he prepared to pay a hurried visit to his mother at

137:3.2 the new associates of J. told Joseph and other

137:3.2 gave free expression to their belief that J. was the

137:3.3 resurrected all her early hopes of J. as the Messiah,

137:3.4 J. arrived in Capernaum Monday night, but he did

137:3.4 but he did not go to his own home, where lived

137:3.4 he went directly to the home of Zebedee.

137:3.4 Once more he seemed to be comparatively cheerful

137:3.4 more like himself as he was during the earlier years

137:3.4 he had grown increasingly serious and self-contained

137:3.4 Now he seemed quite like his old self to all of them.

137:3.4 but he was once again lighthearted and joyful.

137:3.6 expected that J. would inaugurate his assumption

137:3.6 that he would do so with great power and sublime

137:3.7 How would he usher in the glory of the kingdom?

137:4.1 it appeared more like a public reception for J. than

137:4.1 he was most cordial to all, young and old, Jew and

137:4.1 when J. consented to lead the preliminary wedding

137:4.2 J. was now thoroughly self-conscious regarding his

137:4.2 With perfect poise he could at one moment enact the

137:4.3 J. became increasingly conscious that the people

137:4.3 especially he recognized that his family and his six

137:4.4 to approach J. to inquire if he would admit them to

137:4.4 at what hour he had planned to manifest himself as

137:4.4 No sooner had they spoken of these matters to J.

137:4.5 mother was a great disappointment to the human J.,

137:4.5 he was much sobered by his reaction to her proposal

137:4.5 proposal that he permit himself to indulge in some

137:4.5 That was one of the very things he had decided not

137:4.5 and Jude tried to comfort their mother, while J.

137:4.5 But he returned to the gathering and was once more

137:4.6 he called them together just before the wedding

137:4.7 associated with the expected manifestation of J. as

137:4.7 —I will speak to my son. He will help us.”

137:4.8 Mary had always turned to J. for help in every crisis

137:4.8 As J. was standing alone in a corner of the garden,

137:4.9 Mary the mother of J. was crushed; she was stunned

137:4.9 human heart of J. was overcome with compassion

137:4.9 he laid his hand tenderly upon her head, saying:

137:4.9 Father’s will—” and J. stopped short, he hesitated.

137:4.9 But J. said nothing.

137:4.9 He now realized that he had already said—or rather

137:4.10 The wine Mary desired and which J., the God-man,

137:4.11 he observed that they were drawing wine out of

137:4.12 It was gradually dawning upon J what had happened

137:4.12 marriage feast of Cana, J. was the most surprised.

137:4.12 but that was just what he had purposed not to do.

137:4.12 He recounted how the Adjuster had warned him

137:4.14 since J. had already subjected himself in all things to

137:4.16 Mary and the disciples of J. were greatly rejoiced

137:4.16 the supposed miracle which they thought J. had

137:4.16 but J. withdrew to a sheltered nook of the garden

137:4.16 He finally decided that the episode was beyond his

137:4.16 When he returned to the people, they regarded him

137:4.16 But J. was sorely perplexed, knowing that they

137:4.16 Again J. retired for a season to the housetop that

137:4.17 J. now fully comprehended that he must constantly

137:5.1 J., with his newly chosen disciple-apostles—James,

137:5.1 much distressed because he so suddenly left them,

137:5.1 J. and his apostles went directly to the home of

137:5.1 J. talked over many things of importance to the

137:5.1 He advised them to avoid the cities of Sepphoris

137:5.2 to Bethsaida with J., walking, as it were, on air.

137:5.2  J. set out to make clear to them who he was and

137:5.2 They could not grasp what he was telling them.

137:5.2 When J. perceived that they did not comprehend his

137:5.2 when he saw that their ideas of the Jewish Messiah

137:5.2 he sent them to their rest while he walked and talked

137:5.2 before Jude took leave of J., he said with much

137:5.3 That night J. did not sleep.

137:5.3 Donning his evening wraps, he sat out on the lake

137:5.3  J. came clearly to comprehend that he never

137:5.3 he never would be able to make his followers see

137:5.3 he recognized that there was no way to launch his

137:5.3 though he was not the Davidic type of Messiah, he

137:5.3 he was truly the fulfillment of the prophetic

137:5.3 Never again did he wholly deny that he was the

137:5.3 He decided to leave the final untangling of this

137:5.4  J. joined his friends at breakfast, but they were a

137:5.4 He visited with them and at the end of the meal

137:5.4 He directed his apostles to return to their nets while

137:5.4 he made ready to go with Zebedee to the boatshop,

137:5.4 next day at the synagogue, where he was to speak,

137:6.1  J. gave seats of honor to his six apostles, and

137:6.2 When J. stood up, the ruler of the synagogue handed

137:6.2 he read from the Prophet Isaiah: “Thus says the Lord

137:6.3 When he finished this reading, J. handed the roll

137:6.4  J. and his apostles, with James and Jude, entered a

137:6.4 they anchored while he talked to them about the

137:6.5  J. instructed them to take up their regular duties

137:6.5 he set an example by going back regularly to work

137:6.6 J., standing by the water’s edge, prayed: “My Father

137:7.1  J. held over one hundred long and earnest, though

137:7.2 brother in the flesh, were getting acquainted with J.;

137:7.2  J. possessed that matchless grace of personality

137:7.2 and by the gracious words which he spoke to them

137:7.3 to persuade J. to launch forth with the preaching

137:7.3 was impressed with the human naturalness of J..

137:7.4 entire period J. spoke in the synagogue but twice.

137:7.4  J. saw to it that no more apparent miracles happened

137:7.4 reports of the strange doings of J. had been carried

137:7.4 in turn sent spies to ascertain what he was about.

137:7.4 Herod decided not to molest J., whose work

137:7.5 J. endeavored to teach his associates what their

137:7.12 But J. was very positive in making it clear that he

137:7.13  J. later directed that the apostles should go forth, as

137:7.13 he laid emphasis on the proclamation of the “good

137:7.13 He unfailingly impressed upon his associates that

137:7.13 He early taught his followers that the kingdom was a

137:7.14  J. taught these men all they could assimilate.

137:7.14 He did not make the mistake of overteaching them.

137:7.14 He did not precipitate confusion by the presentation

137:8.1  J. occupied the synagogue pulpit for the second time

137:8.2 as J. was at work in the boatshop, Peter brought him

137:8.2  J. laid down his tools once more, removed his apron,

137:8.3  J. did his last work at the carpenter bench on this

137:8.3 in a grove by the shore, he went in quest of J..

137:8.3 The next day he sent his brother James to ask for the

137:8.4 Before J. preached this memorable sermon on the

137:8.4 he read from the Scriptures these passages: “You

137:8.5 When he had finished reading, J. said: “ I have come

137:8.18 When he had thus spoken, he sat down.

137:8.18 many truly believing that he “was beside himself.”

138:0.1 J. called the six apostles together that afternoon

138:0.1  J. planned to have no close relatives as members

138:0.1 an ever-widening gulf between J. and his family.

138:1.1 J. imparted his final instructions to the six.

138:1.1 He directed them to go forth, two and two, to teach

138:1.1 He forbade them to baptize and advised against

138:1.1 He went on to explain that later he would permit

138:1.1 he desired them to acquire practical experience in

138:1.1  J. purposed to make their first tour entirely one of

138:1.1 He sent them forth by twos, James and John going

138:1.2 J. announced to them that he desired to ordain

138:1.2 After thus speaking, J. left them. The six did not

138:1.3 They knew they were going to miss J., and besides

138:1.4  J. went over to Nazareth to visit with Joseph and

138:1.4  J. did everything humanly possible, consistent with

138:1.4 In this matter he did his full duty and more.

138:1.5  J. thought much about John, now in prison.

138:1.5 he resigned himself to “wait upon the Father’s will.”

138:2.1 They returned to J. more fully realizing that religion

138:2.1 When they assembled about J, they all wanted to talk

138:2.2  J., after each man had presented his selection for the

138:2.2 Then J. announced that they would all visit these

138:2.10  J. spent a full day with the six, answering their

138:3.1  J. and the six went to call upon Matthew,

138:3.1 forward with J., who, looking into Matthew’s face,

138:3.1 And Matthew arose and went to his house with J.

138:3.2 Matthew told J. of the banquet he had arranged for

138:3.2 if J. would approve and consent to be the guest of

138:3.2 And J. nodded his consent.

138:3.3 When Peter led J. up to Simon, the Master greeted

138:3.6 Pharisees began, in their hearts, to criticize J. for his

138:3.6 teach that this man is righteous when he eats with

138:3.6 Peter whispered this criticism to J. because he spoke

138:3.7 knowing that J. did not want the coming kingdom to

138:3.8 J. and the apostles remained that night in Matthew’s

138:3.8 but one thing: the goodness and friendliness of J..

138:4.1 The fisherman twins were expecting J. and his

138:4.2  J. fully instructed them concerning attendance

138:4.3  J. gave his apostles their first lesson dealing with the

138:4.3 they could not comprehend the import of what he

138:4.3 They found it very easy to love and admire J. but

138:5.1 Judas the wanderer met J. and the apostles at the

138:5.2 J. took the twelve apart for a season to pray with

138:5.2 wonderful truths which he endeavored to teach them

138:5.2 They could not grasp the idea that J. had come to

138:5.2 that he was a new revelation of the Father in heaven.

138:5.3 The next day, J. left his twelve apostles quite alone;

138:5.3 he wanted them to become acquainted and desired

138:5.3 they be alone to talk over what he had taught them.

138:5.3 he talked to them about the ministry of seraphim,

138:5.4 so that their large home could be turned over to J.

138:5.4 Here J. spent a quiet Sabbath with his chosen

138:5.4 he carefully outlined the plans for proclaiming the

138:5.4 Judas Iscariot took J. aside to inquire why nothing

138:6.2 J. established the mid-week holiday for rest and

138:6.2 On this weekly holiday J. would usually take

138:6.2 While J. did not actually require this day of rest,

138:6.2 he conformed to this plan because he knew it was

138:6.2 J. was the teacher—the Master; his associates were

138:6.3 J. endeavored to make clear to his apostles the

138:6.3 again they did not understand why he thus spoke,

138:6.3 and no man dared to ask why he so taught them.

138:6.4 J. sought to avoid controversies with his apostles

138:6.4 In all such matters he never hesitated to correct

138:6.4 J. was the pioneer of the new and better way to God

138:6.5 J. had a perfect grasp of the situation;

138:6.5 he possessed unlimited power, which might have

138:6.5 he was wholly content with means and personalities

138:6.5 He was engaged in a mission of enormous dramatic

138:6.5 but he insisted on going about his Father’s business

138:6.5 he studiously avoided all display of power.

138:6.5 And he now planned to work quietly, at least for

138:7.1 J. had planned for a quiet missionary campaign of

138:7.1 He did not tell the apostles how long this was to last;

138:7.1 just as he was about to announce this to his twelve

138:7.1 Taking J. aside, Peter made bold to say: “Master, we

138:7.1 but J. raised an admonitory hand and stopped him.

138:7.2 J. sent them away two and two to pray, asking them

138:7.2 and they returned to J. as he had bidden them.

138:7.3 J. now recounted for them the coming of John,

138:7.3 They all truly believed in J., even though they did

138:7.4 J. now asked them how much money they had

138:7.4 he inquired as to what provision had been made for

138:7.4 J. designed later on to enter upon more aggressive

138:7.5 even J. was an experienced boatman and fisherman.

138:7.6 J. enjoined them to devote themselves to fishing

138:7.6 J. going out with a different group each night.

138:7.6 And they all so much enjoyed J.!

138:7.6 He was a good fisherman, a cheerful companion,

138:7.6 the more they worked with him, the more they loved

138:8.1 The first two weeks J. went out with Andrew and

138:8.1 In this way he was able to go out at least once with

138:8.1 each couple before he called them together for the

138:8.2 J. taught them to preach the forgiveness of sin

138:8.2 He enjoined his apostles to refrain from discussing:

138:8.7 people marveled at the teaching and ministry of J.

138:8.8 J. made plain to his apostles the difference between

138:8.8 faith—the new birth—which he required as the price

138:8.8 He taught his apostles that faith was the only

138:8.8 J. taught, “Faith is the open door for entering into

138:8.8 J. did not speak like a prophet, one who comes to

138:8.8 He seemed to speak of himself as one having

138:8.8 J. sought to divert their minds from miracle

138:8.9 Nothing ever seemed so important to J. as the

138:8.9 He was master and teacher, but he was more—

138:8.9 —he was also a friend and neighbor, and comrade.

138:8.10 he invariably taught his apostles by questions and

138:8.10 He would always pause to answer sincere questions

138:8.11 he made it very clear to them that women were to be

138:9.1 It was their personal association with J. during

138:9.1 them and had been so devoted to them as had J..

138:9.1 These five months of work with J. led these apostles

138:9.2 By the time J. was prepared to launch forth on his

138:9.2 came near to believing that he was beside himself.

138:10.3 John were appointed personal companions of J..

139:0.1 although he repeatedly dashed to pieces the hopes of

139:0.2 The apostles learned from J. about the kingdom of

139:0.2 J. learned much from them about the kingdom of

139:1.2 Andrew was 33, a year older than J. and the oldest

139:1.2 J. never gave Andrew a nickname, a fraternal

139:1.2 even as the apostles soon began to call J. Master,

139:1.3 but his appointment by J. as the head of the apostolic

139:1.4 Andrew brought to J. his brother, Simon, who

139:1.5 Whether J. privately taught the apostles or preached

139:1.5 in which event Andrew would take it straight to J..

139:1.11 Every one of the apostles loved J.,but it remains true

139:1.11 Andrew admired J because of his consistent sincerity

139:1.11 When men once knew J., they were possessed with

139:2.2 When J. gave Simon the name Peter, he did it with

139:2.2 True, later on, J. did attach a new and significant

139:2.4 their astonishment at seeing J. on the beach, Peter

139:2.5 The one trait which Peter most admired in J. was his

139:2.5 Peter’s unintended denial of J. in the high priest’s

139:2.6 First Peter refused to let J. wash his feet and then,

139:2.6 J. knew that Peter’s faults were of the head and

139:2.6 Peter really and truly loved J.. And yet despite this

139:2.9 In following J., literally and figuratively, Peter was

139:2.10 When Peter was fully assured that J. had forgiven

139:2.13 mistake of trying to convince the Jews that J. was

139:2.13 confusion in Peter’s mind between the concepts of J.

139:2.15 so Peter, an intimate of J., one of the inner circle,

139:3.1 two apostle sons of Zebedee, whom J. nicknamed

139:3.1 the advantage of having known J. longer than any

139:3.3 James usually talked freely with J., but among the

139:3.6 That characteristic of J. which James most admired

139:3.8 places on the right hand and the left hand of J.,

139:3.8 When J. asked if they were ready to drink the cup,

139:3.9 James’s death to join himself to the disciples of J..

139:4.1 John functioned as the personal agent of J. in dealing

139:4.1 this responsibility as long as Mary the mother of J.

139:4.2 so closely associated with J. in his family affairs,

139:4.2 said that he was “the disciple whom J. loved.”

139:4.2 such a magnanimous personality as J. to be guilty

139:4.2 John was one of the three personal aides of J. lent

139:4.2 John, along with his brother James, had known J.

139:4.3 James, and John were assigned as personal aides to J

139:4.3 J. appointed Andrew to act as director of the group,

139:4.3 that Peter, James, and John attach themselves to J..

139:4.4 J. made many and great changes in John’s character.

139:4.4 to refer to himself as the “disciple whom J. loved.”

139:4.4 John came nearer to being the chum of J. than any

139:4.4 to regard himself as the “disciple whom J. loved”

139:4.4 John was the disciple whom J. so frequently trusted.

139:4.6 characteristics of J. which John most appreciated

139:4.9 he had made provision for the care of his mother

139:4.9 John also deeply sympathized with J. because of his

139:4.10 the one apostle who followed right along with J.

139:5.1 being called when J. and his first four apostles were

139:5.1 Philip had for some time known of J., but it had not

139:5.1 not occurred to Philip that J. was a really great man

139:5.1 day in the Jordan valley when he said, “Follow me.”

139:5.1 James, and John had accepted J. as the Deliverer.

139:5.5 the multitudes who came to hear J. teach and preach

139:5.5 J. learned much about the way some human minds

139:5.5 he so patiently listened to Philip’s foolish questions

139:5.6 The one quality about J. which Philip so admired

139:5.6 Never could Philip find anything in J. which was

139:5.7 Philip would not hesitate to interrupt J. in the

139:5.7 But J. never reprimanded Philip for such

139:5.7 he was patient with him and considerate of his

139:5.7 J. well knew that, if he once rebuked Philip for

139:5.7 he would not only wound this honest soul, but such

139:5.7 J. knew that on his worlds of space there were

139:5.7 similar slow-thinking mortals, and he wanted to

139:5.7 J. was really more interested in Philip’s foolish

139:5.7 J. was supremely interested in men, all kinds of

139:5.8 to argue about the merits and demerits of J. and

139:6.1 to see John the Baptist when they encountered J..

139:6.3 J. did not himself give Nathaniel a nickname, but

139:6.3 even before he had met J., “Can any good thing

139:6.4 J. greatly enjoyed hearing Nathaniel discourse on

139:6.4 Nathaniel progressively took J. and the kingdom

139:6.5 the temerity to go secretly to J. and lodge complaint

139:6.6 Many times, when J. was away on the mountain with

139:6.8 Nathaniel most revered J. for his tolerance.

139:7.2 Levi was an increasing believer in the mission of J.

139:7.2 J never gave Levi a nickname, but his fellow apostles

139:7.5 who made extensive notes on the sayings of J.,

139:7.5 Isador’s narrative of the sayings and doings of J.,

139:7.6 but Matthew was intensely loyal to J. and supremely

139:7.7 and despairing men and women flocked to hear J.,

139:7.7 flocked to hear J., and he never turned one away.

139:7.8 but they never knew of this generosity, save J.,

139:7.8 to contribute to the apostolic funds for fear that J.

139:7.9 But Levi did so wish that J. might know that much

139:8.3 thus came in contact with the noble character of J..

139:8.5 contact with J and the apostles largely cured Thomas

139:8.6 J. enjoyed Thomas very much and had many talks

139:8.6 about the philosophic phases of the teachings of J..

139:8.6 a declaration that J. loved even honest doubters.

139:8.7 The other apostles held J. in reverence because of

139:8.7 understanding and personality appreciation of J.

139:8.8 Time and again did Thomas oppose letting J. expose

139:8.10 tried to avoid coming in direct contact with J..

139:8.12 he was the acid test of J. and his fellow apostles.

139:9.2 They loved their Master and J. loved them, but they

139:9.6 James Alpheus especially loved J. because of the

139:9.6 These twins could not comprehend the mind of J.,

139:9.6 The twins believed in J.; they were sons of God and

139:9.7 Judas Alpheus was drawn toward J. because of the

139:9.7 The fact that J would always enjoin silence regarding

139:9.8 J. welcomed these young men of one talent to

139:9.8 whom he likewise wishes to welcome into active and

139:9.8 J. does not look down upon littleness, only upon

139:9.9 they knew of a certainty that J. was no respecter of

139:9.10 their association with J. did the twins venture to ask

139:9.10 Judas was once intrigued into asking J. a question

139:9.11 They never lost their heart faith in J. and (save John)

139:11.4 transformation, but J. was always patient with Simon

139:11.5 The one thing about J. which Simon admired was

139:11.7 an iconoclast by training, but J. won Simon for the

139:11.7 personal devotions, and he did profoundly love J..

139:11.8 J. was not afraid to identify with business men,

139:11.9 J. often told Simon that it was proper to want to

139:11.11 everywhere preaching the gospel of J. and baptizing

139:12.4 There was no special trait about J. which Judas

139:12.4 even criticize in his mind many things about J..

139:12.4 Judas really entertained the notion that J. was timid

139:12.5 manage the financial affairs of such an idealist as J.,

139:12.5 Judas must have believed in J.,but we doubt whether

139:12.7 To J., Judas was a faith adventure.

139:12.7 J. wanted not only the mortals of this world but the

139:12.8 This is just the reason why J. permitted Judas to go

139:12.10 public protest was so sweepingly disallowed by J.

139:12.10 sordid drama of his unfortunate life just because J.

139:12.11 J. did everything possible, consistent with man’s

139:12.12 the idea that J. might possibly exert his power and

139:12.14 J. regarded the betrayer only with pity.

140:0.1 J. called the apostles together for their ordination as

140:0.2 As J. started down the seashore calling the apostles,

140:0.2 he first hailed Andrew and Peter, who were fishing

140:0.2 he signaled to James and John, who were in a boat

140:0.2 Two by two he gathered up the other apostles,

140:0.2 and when he had assembled all twelve, he journeyed

140:0.2 he journeyed with them to the highlands north of

140:0.2 he proceeded to instruct them in preparation for their

140:1.1 Before the formal ordination service J. spoke to the

140:1.7 And when he had finished speaking, he stood up.

140:2.1 J. now instructed the twelve mortals who had just

140:2.3 When J. had finished praying, the apostles remained

140:2.3 One by one they embraced J., but no man said aught.

140:3.21 Never before had the apostles heard J. speak in this

140:3.21 for he had talked to them as one having supreme

140:3.21 about sundown, but no man asked J. a question.

140:4.1 The “Sermon of the Mount” is not the gospel of J..

140:4.1 as he was so eloquently and perfectly representative

140:4.9 J exhorted his followers to exercise experiential faith

140:4.9 He admonished them not to depend on intellectual

140:5.1 J. taught his followers to manifest fatherly love

140:5.1 you should love your fellow mortals as J. loves you.

140:5.2 J. loves mankind with a dual affection.

140:5.2 He lived on earth as a twofold personality—human

140:5.2 As the Son of God he loves man with a fatherly love

140:5.2 —he is man’s Creator, his universe Father.

140:5.2 As the Son of Man, J. loves mortals as a brother—

140:5.2 —he was truly a man among men.

140:5.3 J. did not expect his followers to achieve an

140:5.3 but he did expect them to so strive to be like God—

140:5.3 J. sought to reveal this new concept of fatherly

140:5.11 J. was the ideal meek man of Urantia, and he

140:5.11 man of Urantia, and he inherited a vast universe.

140:5.12 In discussing purity, J. did not intend to deal

140:5.12 He referred more to that faith which man should

140:5.15 J. went on to instruct his followers in the realization

140:5.15 He did not exhort the twelve to love their neighbors

140:5.15 He rather admonished his apostles to love men as

140:5.15 as he had loved them—to love with a fatherly as well

140:5.15 he illustrated this by pointing out four supreme

140:5.16 But J. did not refer to outward or ostentatious

140:5.16 He alluded to an emotional attitude of tenderhearted

140:6.1 J. and the twelve partook of a simple meal.

140:6.1 while J. went for a walk along the beach, the twelve

140:6.1 Andrew went out to find J., and when he had

140:6.1 And J. went with Andrew to meet with the apostles.

140:6.2 When he had entered the garden, he gathered the

140:5.18 In the face of trials and persecutions he said, “My

140:6.6 J. was minded to go on discussing the other

140:6.7 the twelve could not comprehend all that he taught

140:6.13 Thomas asked J. if they should “continue having

140:6.14 When J. saw they were disposed to stay up all night

140:6.14 encouraged, James decided to go in to talk with J..

140:6.14 Andrew went in to J. and said: “Master, the twins

140:7.1 twelve were assembled for a late breakfast with J.,

140:7.1 After J. had spoken, Thomas mustered up courage

140:7.2 spectators, had been coming to Bethsaida to see J.

140:7.2 Heretofore, J. had greeted these people and taught

140:7.3 J. visited with Zebedee and Salome while he sent his

140:8.1 J. well knew that his apostles were not fully

140:8.1 He decided to give some special instruction to

140:8.1 He saw that, while some features of the idea of a

140:8.1 J. went out from the shore in a boat with Peter,

140:8.2 He quoted with approval, on this afternoon, an old

140:8.2 He pointed to his own experience as sufficient

140:8.3 J. made clear to the three the difference between

140:8.3 And even then he did not forbid the exercise of

140:8.3 What he preached against was not forethought but

140:8.3 He taught the active and alert submission to God’s

140:8.3 he simply called attention to his life as carpenter,

140:8.3 He sought to make it clear that the world is not to

140:8.4 J. had great difficulty in getting them to understand

140:8.4 He absolutely refused to defend himself, and it

140:8.4 he would be pleased if they would pursue the same

140:8.4 He taught them not to resist evil, not to combat

140:8.4 he did not teach passive tolerance of wrongdoing.

140:8.4 And he made it plain that he approved of the social

140:8.5 He never ceased to warn his disciples against the

140:8.5 he made no allowance for revenge, the idea of

140:8.5 He deplored the holding of grudges.

140:8.5 He disallowed the idea of an eye for an eye and a

140:8.5 He discountenanced the whole concept of private

140:8.5 He made it clear to the three that his teachings

140:8.5 He summarized his instructions up to that time

140:8.9 He cautioned his apostles to be discreet in their

140:8.9 he forbade them to become in any way embroiled

140:8.9 He was always careful to avoid the political snares

140:8.9 He refused to have his attention diverted from his

140:8.9 he would not permit himself to be concerned about

140:8.9 In his personal life he was always duly observant of

140:8.9 he ignored the civic, social, and economic realms.

140:8.9 He told the three apostles that he was concerned

140:8.10 J. was not, therefore, a political reformer.

140:8.10 He did not come to reorganize the world; even if

140:8.10 if he had done this, it would have been applicable

140:8.10 he did show man the best way of living, and no

140:8.11 J. came presenting the idea of active kindness,

140:8.11 J. was interested only in the individual, not the

140:8.11 J. was not a sociologist, but he did labor to break

140:8.11 He taught pure sympathy, compassion.

140:8.12 J. had a firm sense of justice, but it was always

140:8.12 He did not teach his apostles that they were to be

140:8.12 The nearest he came to making sociological

140:8.13 He made it clear that indiscriminate kindness may be

140:8.13 J. definitely instructed Judas that no apostolic funds

140:8.14 He based his teachings about God on the family,

140:8.14 while he sought to correct the Jewish tendency to

140:8.14 He called attention to the fact that the family is a

140:8.14 J. did not hesitate to give up his family when the

140:8.14 He taught the new and larger brotherhood of man

140:8.14 He repeatedly refused to lay down laws regarding

140:8.15 J. worked, lived, and traded in the world as he found

140:8.15 He was not an economic reformer, although he did

140:8.15 he did frequently call attention to the injustice of

140:8.15 he did not offer any suggestions by way of remedy.

140:8.15 He made it plain to the three that, while his apostles

140:8.15 he was not preaching against wealth and property,

140:8.15 He recognized the need for social justice and

140:8.15 fairness, but he offered no rules for their attainment.

140:8.16 He never taught his followers to avoid earthly

140:8.16 J. never personally directed his followers to adopt a

140:8.16 he made no pronouncement of any sort regarding

140:8.17 J. warned his listeners against covetousness,

140:8.17 He constantly reiterated, “What shall it profit a man

140:8.17 he did insist that it is eternally essential that spiritual

140:8.17 he sought to correct many erroneous Urantia views

140:8.17 parables which he presented in the course of his

140:8.17 J. never intended to formulate economic theories;

140:8.17 he well knew that each age must evolve its own

140:8.17 And if J. were on earth today, living his life in the

140:8.17 he would be a great disappointment to the majority

140:8.17 he would not take sides in present-day political,

140:8.17 He would remain grandly aloof while teaching you

140:8.18 J. would make all men Godlike and then stand by

140:8.18 It was not wealth that he denounced,but what wealth

140:8.18 On this Thursday J. first told his associates that “it is

140:8.19 He lived a perfected life on Urantia, and his unique

140:8.20 J. did not attack the teachings of the Hebrew

140:8.20 J. did not want simply to produce a religious man,

140:8.20 you would have known that J. was a real man of

140:8.20 The teachings of J. in this respect have been

140:8.20 And this is just why he chose as his personal

140:8.21 J. had little to say about the social vices of his day;

140:8.21 seldom did he make reference to moral delinquency.

140:8.21 He was a positive teacher of true virtue.

140:8.21 He studiously avoided the negative method of

140:8.21 he refused to advertise evil.

140:8.21 He was not even a moral reformer.

140:8.21 He well knew, and so taught his apostles, that the

140:8.22 J. did not vehemently denounce even the Pharisees,

140:8.22 He knew many of the scribes and Pharisees were

140:8.22 J. laid great emphasis on “first making the tree

140:8.22 He impressed the three that he valued the whole life,

140:8.25 J. wanted his children on earth to live as though they

140:8.26 J. always insisted that true goodness must be

140:8.27 All religions before and after the times of J., even

140:8.27 But not so with the religion of J. of Nazareth.

140:8.27 he taught character growth, declaring that the

140:8.27 But J. said nothing which would proscribe self-

140:8.29 The teaching of J. is a religion for everybody, not

140:8.29 His religion never became crystallized (during his

140:8.29 he left not a line of writing behind him.

140:8.29 His life and teachings were bequeathed the universe

140:8.30 J. did not teach his apostles that religion is man’s

140:8.30 But he did insist that religion was the exclusive

140:8.30 J. taught nothing to deter his believers from the

140:8.30 he only detracted from the tradition-bound religious

140:8.31 He exalted love—truth, beauty, and goodness—as the

140:9.3 J. advised them to take neither money nor extra

140:10.6 This new religion of J. was not without its practical

140:10.5 J. stripped morality of all rules and ceremonies

140:10.7 After J. and Matthew had finished talking, Simon

140:10.7 J. taught his followers to treat all men as brothers.

140:10.9 asked J., “Master, what is the kingdom of heaven?”

141:0.1 J. and the twelve apostles made ready to depart

141:0.2 he found J. sitting in a boat down the beach, and

141:0.2 sitting in a boat down the beach, and he was weeping

141:0.2 to approach J. and ask: “On this great day, Master,

141:1.1 the fame of J. had begun to spread well over all of

141:1.1 J. knew that Herod would soon begin to take notice

141:1.1 so he thought best to journey south and into Judea

141:1.2 year before, and where J. had received baptism.

141:1.3 J. did no public preaching.

141:1.3 after the evening meal J. talked with the twelve.

141:1.3 He taught them nothing new but reviewed his former

141:3.3 the disciples of John and the newer disciples of J..

141:3.3 J. refused to participate these conferences; neither

141:3.3 neither would he give any advice about the proper

141:3.3 He never once offered a suggestion as to how the

141:3.3 When Andrew came to J. with these questions, he

141:3.4 J. was truly a master of men; he exercised great

141:3.4 he exercised great influence over his fellow men

141:3.4 He was simple, manly, honest, and fearless.

141:3.5 J. was indeed a strong and forceful personality;

141:3.5 he was an intellectual power and spiritual stronghold

141:3.6 The pictures of J. have been most unfortunate.

141:3.6 temple merchants would hardly have fled before J. if

141:3.6 His was a dignified manhood; he was good,

141:3.6 J. did not pose as a mild, sweet, gentle, and kindly

141:3.6 He not only meant well, but he went about doing

141:3.8 J. portrayed conquest by sacrifice, the sacrifice of

141:3.8 By showing mercy, he meant to portray spiritual

141:3.8 when he said, “Resist not evil,” he later explained

141:3.8 he did not mean to condone sin or to counsel

141:3.8 He intended the more to teach forgiveness,

141:4.4 He taught them to recognize: 1. Disease of the flesh

141:4.8 J. explained to his apostles on several occasions

141:4.8 the early history of Urantia, for J. to undertake to

141:4.8 But he many times said to them, alluding to these

141:5.4 during the training of the twelve J. reverted to this

141:5.4 Repeatedly he told them it was not his desire that

141:5.4 Again and again he warned his apostles against the

141:6.3 but Simon did as J. had instructed him, and Teherma

141:6.4 J. discoursed to the apostles on the new life in the

141:7.6 J. laid great emphasis upon what he called the two

141:7.6 J. was the truth made manifest in the flesh, and he

141:7.6 J. promised to send his Spirit of Truth into the hearts

141:7.8 J. explained that he had purposely ignored the “great

141:7.8 He began his work with the poor, the very class

141:7.8 He despised no man; his plan was world-wide,

141:7.8 J. was so bold and emphatic in these announcements

141:7.8 tempted to think he might possibly be beside himself.

141:7.9 He sought to impart to these apostles the truth that

141:7.9 that he had come on this bestowal mission, not to

141:7.10 He announced that he had come to function as a

141:7.10 And this is exactly what he did; he was a teacher,

141:7.10 he was a teacher, not a preacher.

141:7.10 Peter was a much more effective preacher than J..

141:7.10 J. spoke directly to men’s souls.

141:7.10 He was a teacher of man’s spirit, but through the

141:7.10 He lived with men.

141:7.11 It was on this occasion that J. intimated to Peter,

141:7.11 He told them that he had come to do his Father’s will

141:7.11 he was not anxiously bothered by evil in the world.

141:7.12 to recognize the unaffected friendliness of J..

141:7.13 James was astonished at how J. seemed to see the

141:7.14 all of his divine endowments, after all, he was human

141:7.14 J. lived as a man among men and understood, loved,

141:7.14 personal life he was so human, and yet so faultless.

141:7.14 And he was always unselfish.

141:7.15 John could not understand very much of what J. said

141:8.1 welcomed the more advanced teachings of J. and

141:8.3 from Mesopotamia that had come to confer with J..

141:8.3 J. spent three days with them, and they returned to

141:9.1 J. and the apostles began their journey up the hills

141:9.1 Lazarus had been down to the Jordan to see J.,

141:9.2 J. was accompanied only by the twelve when he

141:9.2 by the twelve when he arrived at Lazarus’s home.

141:9.2 Here J. and the apostles tarried for five days,

141:9.3 J. and the apostles went down to Jerusalem; and

142:0.1 J. and the apostles worked in Jerusalem, going out

142:0.1 J. himself spent one or two nights each week in

142:0.2 J. called upon his friend of former years, Annas,

142:0.2 Annas had been hearing about J. and his teachings

142:0.2 when J. called at the high priest’s home, he was

142:0.2 priest’s home, he was received with much reserve.

142:0.2 he took immediate leave, saying as he departed:

142:1.1 J. or one of the apostles taught daily in the temple.

142:1.6 heard this teaching of J., and hundreds of them

142:1.6 the Jews became much concerned about J. and his

142:1.7 No longer was the work of J. to be confined to

142:2.1 came to Andrew making request to see J. privately

142:2.1 Andrew arranged this secret meeting with J. at

142:2.1 Said Jacob to J.: “But, Rabbi, Moses and the olden

142:2.2 J. replied: “Jacob, you have well stated the

142:3.1 asked J. many questions about the Father in heaven.

142:3.2 J. mildly upbraided the twelve, in substance saying:

142:3.23 And when he had finished speaking, no man asked

142:4.1 When he first thought of inviting J. to his home,

142:4.1 But Flavius was agreeably surprised when J. entered

142:4.1 he manifested great interest in the entire collection

142:4.4 Flavius believed all that J. taught him.

142:4.4 the apostles of J. did not yet baptize believers.

142:4.4 Flavius made a great feast for J. and invited sixty of

142:5.1 One of the great sermons which J. preached in the

142:5.1 This man asked J.: “But, Rabbi, how shall we know

142:5.5 The throng of listeners remained many hours with J.,

142:6.1 there came to see J. one Nicodemus, a wealthy

142:6.1 Nicodemus went one afternoon to hear him as he

142:6.1 Nicodemus would have gone often to hear J. teach,

142:6.1 Jews so at variance with J. that no member of the

142:6.1 Nicodemus had arranged with Andrew to see J.

142:6.2 In receiving Nicodemus, J. showed no particular

142:6.2 visitor, J. was calm, earnest, and dignified.

142:6.2 Nicodemus came to see J. because of his personal

142:6.9 colleagues of the Sanhedrin sought to condemn J.

142:6.9 acknowledged his faith and claimed the body of J.,

142:7.1 J. spent the next Wednesday at Bethany with his

142:7.1 J. and the twelve spent all afternoon and all that

142:7.2 J. sought first to make plain to his apostles that he

142:7.2 he himself was on earth living a unique life in the

142:7.3 J. explained that the kingdom was an evolutionary

142:7.3 he definitely stated that at some future stage of

142:7.3 he would revisit this world in spiritual power and

142:7.4 He next explained that the “kingdom idea” was not

142:7.4 that he employed such figures of speech because the

142:7.4 then he explained that such a quality of brotherly

142:7.5 J. stated that a true family is founded on the seven

142:7.15 J. is a divine Son, one in the Universal Father’s full

142:7.15 He had been with the Father and comprehended him

142:7.15 He had now lived his earth life to the full satisfaction

142:7.15 J. was the perfection of man;

142:7.15 he had attained just such perfection as all true

142:7.15 J. revealed a God of perfection to man and presented

142:7.16 Although J. discoursed for several hours, Thomas

142:8.1 the opposition to J. among the Pharisees and

142:8.1 J. and Abner spent at Engedi, visiting the Nazarite

142:8.1 the Nazarite brotherhood became believers in J.,

142:8.1 because he did not teach fasting and other forms of

142:8.2 did not know that J. had been born in Bethlehem.

142:8.3 the agitation against J. had so quieted down in

142:8.4 Although J. and the apostles spent the entire

142:8.4 J. entered within the walls of Jerusalem only a few

142:8.4 one Joseph of Arimathea ventured out to see J.

142:8.4 did not perceive that J. knew all about their doings

142:8.5 When the rulers of the Jews learned that J. had

142:8.5 when they observed that he did no public preaching,

142:8.5 they concluded that he had become frightened by

142:8.5 Sanhedrin, publicly espoused the teachings of J.,

143:0.1 opposition of the Jewish religious rulers, J. and the

143:0.1 from Arimathea and Thamna came over to invite J.

143:0.2 The people of southern Samaria heard J. gladly,

143:0.2 The last week of July J. and his associates made

143:1.1 they met with new objections to the teachings of J.

143:1.1 J. listened attentively to these objections to the

143:1.3 After J. had heard similar objections to the gospel

143:1.8 This was not all that J. said on that occasion, but it

143:1.8 and he went on at great length in amplification and

143:1.8  addresses which J. ever delivered to the twelve.

143:2.2 asked J.: “Master, are we to practice self-denial as

143:3.1 the recent utterances of J. had augmented their

143:3.1 When J. had listened to the apostolic chief relate

143:3.3 J. seated them about him while he said: “My

143:3.4 —when he broke bread for their noontide lunch.

143:5.1 J. sat down by the well to await the return of the

143:5.2 J. was thirsty, but there was no way of getting water

143:5.2 This woman of Samaria knew J. was a Jew by his

143:5.2 Nalda surmised that he was a Galilean Jew from his

143:5.2 Nalda asked J., “How is it that you, being a Jew,

143:5.5 ashamed that she had so unthinkingly spoken to J.

143:5.6 J. perceived the attempt of the woman’s soul to

143:5.6 but he also saw that there was present in her soul a

143:5.6 he dealt patiently with her, saying: “Woman, let me

143:5.8 of his divine nature which J. had made on earth;

143:5.10 a crowd had assembled at Jacob’s well to hear J..

143:5.11 It was very difficult for J. to teach his apostles that

143:5.12 and J. did not speak of it in detail to the twelve.

143:5.13 Nalda told John that J. had told her “all I ever did.

143:5.13 John many times wanted to ask J. about this visit

143:5.13 J. told Nalda only one thing about herself, but his

143:5.13 J. never told Nalda she had had five husbands.

143:5.13 at the moment Nalda realized J. was a man of God

143:5.13 repeated to John that J. had really told her all

143:6.1 Nalda drew the crowd out from Sychar to see J.,

143:6.1 and they besought J. to eat with them instead of

143:6.1 But J. knew that darkness would soon be upon

143:6.1 so he persisted in his determination to talk to the

143:6.1 to talk to the people before he sent them away.

143:6.1 before he spoke to the people, he turned aside and

143:6.1 he turned aside and said to the twelve: “My meat is

143:6.1 This he said in reference to the preaching of John

143:6.2 J. and the apostles went into Sychar and preached

143:6.2 baptism, but the apostles of J. did not yet baptize.

143:6.3 the apostles expected that J. would rebuke them

143:6.3 but he made no reference to the matter.

143:6.3 Instead he gave them that memorable talk on

143:6.3 may be derived from the life and teachings of J.

143:6.4 That he wants all men to see God as a Father-friend

143:6.4 see God as a Father-friend just as he (J.) is a brother

143:6.4 And again he impressed upon them that love is the

143:6.5 J. declared himself so fully to the Samaritans because

143:6.5 to the Samaritans because he could safely do so,

143:6.5 he knew that he would not again visit the heart of

143:6.6 J. and the twelve camped on Mount Gerizim until

143:6.6 The work which J. and the twelve did in these

143:7.1 J. taught many great truths, and in particular he laid

143:7.1 in particular he laid emphasis on the following:

144:0.1 J. spent here alone with his apostles, teaching and

144:0.2 There were a number of reasons why J. and his

144:0.2 continued to entertain suspicions that John and J.

144:0.2 disciples and the apostles of J., which grew worse

144:0.3 J. knew that the days of the preliminary work of

144:0.3 he did not wish the launching of this undertaking to

144:0.3 J. had decided to spend some time in retirement

144:1.1 the twelve became more devoted to J. and

144:1.1 they did not fully comprehend the nature of J. or the

144:1.2 J. made it plain to his apostles that they were in

144:1.6 J. told the twelve much about his early life and his

144:1.6 he revealed something of what happened in the hills

144:1.6 he directly charged them that they should tell no

144:1.6 experiences until after he had returned to the Father.

144:1.7 recounted their experiences since J. first called

144:1.8 Much of this time J. was alone on the mountain near

144:1.8 Occasionally he took with him Peter, James, or John,

144:1.8 more often he went off to pray or commune alone.

144:1.8 Subsequent to the baptism of J. and the forty days in

144:1.8 nor is it consistent to speak of J. as worshiping,

144:1.9 J. delivered his memorable discourse on prayer in

144:1.10 J. never forbade his followers to use John’s form

144:1.10 longed to know what form of petition J. would

144:1.10 simple petition for the common people that J. at

144:1.10 J. gave this lesson one afternoon in the third week

144:3.1 they desired J. to give them a model prayer which

144:3.13 apostles desired J. to teach them a model prayer

144:3.13 J. was particularly averse to praying in public.

144:3.14 J. taught the twelve always to pray in secret; to go

144:3.15 by the addition of—“In the name of the Lord JC..”

144:3.16 J. gave the apostles the prayer in collective form as

144:3.16 He never taught a formal personal prayer, only group

144:3.16 And he never volunteered to do that.

144:3.17 J. taught that effective prayer must be: 1. Unselfish—

144:3.23 When J. spent nights on the mountain in prayer,

144:3.23 although he engaged in much worship of the nature

144:4.4 Prayer led J. up to the supercommunion of his soul

144:4.6 J. employed the beneficial influence of praying for

144:4.6 Only in the great crises of his earth life did J. ever

144:4.10 who so often accompanied J. on his long night vigils,

144:4.10 never heard J. pray, was because their Master so

144:5.1 he brought to the notice of the apostles several forms

144:5.1 but he did this only in illustration of other matters,

144:5.1 he enjoined that these “parable prayers” should not

144:5.1 planets, but this fact J. did not reveal to the twelve.

144:5.18 J. utilized these prayer models as illustrations in

144:6.1 at the Gilboa camp between the apostles of J. and

144:6.1 to be apostles, following the precedent of J..

144:6.1 J. was present at the Gilboa camp throughout the

144:6.2 prepared to go into council with the apostles of J..

144:6.2 J. mingled with them between their forenoon,

144:6.2 These talks by J. to the twenty-four were on

144:6.3 and again would they take their troubles to J.,

144:6.4 J. went down the mountainside, and they saw him

144:6.4 never knew where he went or what he did during

144:6.4 discussions, and they could not go to J. for help.

144:6.5 the adoption of the prayer which J. had taught them.

144:6.7 J. had refused to make any pronouncement upon

144:6.7 only the apostles of J. would finally instruct the

144:6.7 the apostles of John accompanied J. and his

144:6.8 present themselves to J. and become subject to his

144:6.8 baptize no more unless authorized by J. or his

144:6.9 the apostles of J. would begin to baptize with water

144:6.11 face problems and compose difficulties without J..

144:6.12 J. returned, heard of their deliberations, listened to

144:6.13 apostles of John remained with J. and the twelve.

144:7.1 J. and the twenty-four worked quietly in the Greek

144:7.1 Baptism was the price which the followers of J.

144:7.2 J. did little public teaching on this mission to the

144:7.2 He spent considerable time teaching the twenty-four

144:7.2 they became more understanding as to why J. did

144:7.2 and why he made no effort to secure his release.

144:7.2 But they never could understand why J. did no

144:7.2 why he refused to produce outward signs of his

144:7.2 they had believed in J. mostly because of John’s

144:7.3 The apostle of John baptized, the apostle of J.

144:7.4 Abner became a devout believer in J. and was later

144:8.1 It was while J. was teaching the multitude one

144:8.1 the last message which he ever had from the Baptist.

144:8.2 and most of this time J. had labored very quietly;

144:8.3 J. paused to say to John’s friends: “Go back and tell

144:8.5 Many who heard J. that day submitted themselves to

144:8.5 And the apostles of John were firmly knit to J. from

144:8.6 and John’s faith was strengthened by the words of J.

144:9.1 Pella, and they told J. about the death of John.

144:9.1 When J. heard their report, he dismissed the

144:9.2 J. and the apostles, accompanied by twenty-five

145:0.1 J. and the apostles arrived in Capernaum the evening

145:0.1 J. prepared to launch out in the first open and public

145:0.1 The news that J. had returned rapidly spread

145:0.1 Mary the mother of J. hastened away, going over to

145:0.2 J. spent at the Zebedee house instructing his apostles

145:0.2 He also received and taught many earnest inquirers,

145:0.2 he arranged to speak in the synagogue on the coming

145:0.3 Baby Ruth was the chief comfort of J., as regards

145:1.1 when J. was teaching by the seaside, the people

145:1.1 he signaled to some fishermen occupying a near-by

145:1.1 he continued to teach the assembled multitude for

145:1.1 mending their nets when J. requested them to

145:1.2 After J. had finished teaching the people, he said to

145:1.2 place designated by J., they let down their nets

145:1.2 their associates forsook their nets and followed J..

145:1.3 J. was a close student of nature; an experienced

145:1.3 he was an experienced fisherman and knew the habits

145:1.3 he merely directed these men to the place where the

145:2.1 J. preached his sermon on “The Will of the Father in

145:2.1 more people believed in J. in Capernaum than in any

145:2.2 As J. taught in the synagogue this Sabbath afternoon

145:2.2 according to custom he took the first text from the

145:2.2 He chose the second text from the Prophets, reading

145:2.11 He taught, indeed, as one having authority and not as

145:2.12 Just as J. finished speaking, a young man in the

145:2.12 “What have we to do with you, J. of Nazareth?

145:2.12 J. bade the people be quiet and, taking the young

145:2.13 they believed J. had cast a demon out of this man.

145:2.13 But J. did not at that time cure his epilepsy.

145:2.14 rapidly spread that J. had cast a demon out of a man

145:2.15 where J. and the twelve made their headquarters,

145:2.15 and J. and his friends stopped there on the way

145:2.15 J. stood over this sick woman, holding her hand,

145:2.15 J. had not yet had time to explain to his apostles

145:2.16 Amatha was not miraculously healed by J. at this

145:2.17 that another miracle had been wrought by J..

145:3.1 By the time J. and his apostles had made ready to

145:3.1 all who were sick began preparations to go to J. or

145:3.3 Even the text J. had used for his afternoon sermon

145:3.3 and he had spoken with such unprecedented power

145:3.3 While he made no appeal to human authority,

145:3.3 he did speak directly to the consciences and souls of

145:3.3 Though he did not resort to logic, legal quibbles, or

145:3.3 he did make a powerful, direct, clear, and personal

145:3.4 That Sabbath was a great day in the earth life of J.,

145:3.5 as J. and the apostles lingered about the supper table

145:3.5 Perpetua informed her husband, who told J..

145:3.7 peculiarly touched the human heart of J. and

145:3.7 But J. well knew he could never build an enduring

145:3.8 was one of those moments in the earth career of J.

145:3.9 J., looking down upon the afflicted throng, answered

145:3.9 but the further words of J. were lost in the tumult.

145:3.10 J. had passed the responsibility of this healing

145:3.11 of supernatural healing, J. was the most surprised.

145:3.11 he neglected to bear in his mind the admonitory

145:3.11 J. desired to see these suffering mortals made

145:3.11 Adjuster of J. instantly ruled that such an act of

145:3.12 watchers to report on the work and teachings of J.

145:3.12 to ascertain if he was the former carpenter of

145:3.13 J. became as much a physician as a preacher.

145:3.13 True, he continued his teaching, but his personal

145:3.15 such so-called miracles gave J. much trouble in that

145:4.1 apostles of J. were keyed up to the highest pitch of

145:4.1 of all the great days of their association with J..

145:4.1 J. had told them only a few days before, and when

145:4.2 But when they sought for J., they could not find

145:4.2 When J. did return to their midst, the hour was

145:4.2 J. refused the congratulations and adoration of the

145:5.1 Neither did J. sleep much that Saturday night.

145:5.1 He realized that the world was filled with physical

145:5.1 he contemplated the great danger of being compelled

145:5.1 thoughts which occupied the mortal mind of J.

145:5.1 he arose that Sunday morning long before daybreak

145:5.1 that he might not allow his human sympathy, joined

145:5.1 he did not wish altogether to avoid ministering to

145:5.1 he knew that he must do the more important work

145:5.2 J went out in the hills to pray so many times because

145:5.3 after J. had gone out to pray, Peter aroused James

145:5.3 found J. and besought him to tell them the reason for

145:5.3 desired to know why he appeared to be troubled by

145:5.4 J. endeavored to explain to these three apostles what

145:5.4 He taught them about what had transpired and

145:5.4 J. confided to them the reason for his coming forth

145:5.4 He sought to make plain to his personal associates

145:5.5 They clamored to see J.. Andrew and the apostles

145:5.5 with several of his associates, went to find J..

145:5.5 When Andrew had located J. in company with the

145:5.8 When J. had spoken, Andrew and his fellow apostles

145:5.8 and made ready for the journey as J. had directed.

145:5.8 J. and the apostles started out upon their first public

145:5.9 shortly after J. and his apostles had left for Rimmon,

145:5.9 his brother James and insisted that they go to J..

145:5.9 By the time James consented to go with Jude, J. had

145:5.10 J. listened to them patiently, but he would not

146:0.1 On this tour J. and the twelve apostles, assisted by

146:0.2 J. permitted his associates to preach without

146:0.2 On this tour he cautioned them on three occasions;

146:0.2 he admonished them to remain away from Nazareth

146:1.1 J. and the twenty-four devote much of their time to

146:2.1 While the common people of Jotapata heard J. and

146:2.1 it was the discourse of J. to the twenty-four on the

146:2.1 in response to his question J. spoke at great length

146:2.3 J. quoted to his apostles from the Prophet

146:2.3 J. quoted the proverb of the wise man who said:

146:2.4 and linked together in the prayer which J. taught

146:2.5 Again J. quoted from the Hebrew scriptures: “I

146:2.13 Of all the prayers of the Hebrew scriptures he

146:2.13 J. commented at great length on the relation of

146:2.14 13. J. taught that the prayer for divine guidance

146:2.14 J. never taught that human knowledge and special

146:2.14 But he did teach that prayer is a factor in the

146:2.14 When J. taught his associates to pray in the spirit

146:2.14 he explained that he referred to praying sincerely

146:2.15 14. J. warned his followers against thinking that

146:2.15 But he did exhort his believers to employ prayer as

146:2.15 J. deplored that so little of the spirit of thanksgiving

146:2.15 He quoted from the Scriptures on this occasion,

146:2.16 Then he quoted from the Scriptures: “I will praise

146:2.17 16. J. taught his followers that, when they had

146:2.17 Worship, taught J., makes one increasingly like

146:2.18 And many other truths did J. tell his apostles about

146:3.1 J. had the memorable discussion with the Greek

146:3.1 J. listened with patience and sympathy to this

146:3.1 J. taught this Greek the saving truths of the gospel

146:3.3 Thomas asked J. this question: “Master, how can a

146:3.10 The special instruction given by J. during their stay

146:3.10 J. gave his followers little instruction regarding the

146:3.11 or gentile, and few of them really believed in J.,

146:4.1 Sometimes he would speak at the morning service,

146:4.1 J. and the apostles would also often teach and

146:4.1 became increasingly antagonistic toward J., they

146:4.2 and since J. had never shared the life of the miner,

146:4.2 he spent most of his time, while sojourning at Iron,

146:4.2 J worked in the mines with the underground laborers

146:4.2 The fame of J. as a healer had spread even to this

146:4.3 as J. was returning from the mines, he chanced to

146:4.3 he chanced to pass through a narrow side street on

146:4.3 As he drew near the squalid hovel of a leprous man,

146:4.3 made bold to accost him as he passed his door,

146:4.3 And when J. saw him in his affliction and heard

146:4.3 As J. looked upon him, the man fell upon his face

146:4.4 When J. had lifted the man upon his feet, he

146:4.4 he charged him: “See that you tell no man about

146:4.4 But this man did not do as J. had instructed him.

146:4.4 to publish abroad that J. had cured his leprosy,

146:4.4 not go to the priests as J. had admonished him.

146:4.4 As a result of his spreading the news that J. had

146:4.4 Although J. did not again enter the town, he

146:4.4 he remained two days in the outskirts near the mines

146:4.5 the first so-called miracle which J. had deliberately

146:4.6 In no place where J. had taught had he met with

146:4.6 How they wished he would cleanse another leper

146:5.1 Titus heard that J. was at Cana; so he hastened over

146:5.1 The believers at Capernaum thought J. could heal

146:5.2 When this nobleman had located J. in Cana, he

146:5.2 J., looking at the father of the sick boy, said:

146:5.2 pleaded with J., saying: “My Lord, I do believe,

146:5.2 J. bowed his head a moment in silent meditation,

146:5.2 Titus believed the word of J. and hastened back to

146:5.2 Titus recalled that it was about that hour when J.

146:5.2 just such knowledge as J. frequently resorted to

146:5.3 Again was J. compelled to hasten away from Cana

146:5.3 he was supposed to have healed the nobleman’s son

146:5.3 requesting that he heal sufferers at a distance.

146:5.3 And when J. saw that the countryside was aroused,

146:6.1 people had become miracle minded regarding J.

146:6.1 their friends announcing that J. had healed them.

146:6.2 When J. sought to leave Cana and go to Nain,

146:6.2 As J. and his apostles drew near the gate of the

146:6.2 When the funeral procession had come up to J.

146:6.2 they thought J. could cure any human disease,

146:6.2 J., while being thus importuned, stepped forward

146:6.2 he perceived the tragedy which his presence could

146:6.2 so, turning to the mother, he said: “Weep not.

146:6.2 young man by the hand, he said, “Awake and arise.”

146:6.2 to speak, and J. sent them back to their homes.

146:6.3 J. endeavored to calm the multitude and vainly

146:6.3 not really dead, that he had not brought him back

146:6.3 J. told them the boy was merely in a deep sleep,

146:6.3 the fact that he always in great modesty tried to hide

146:6.4 word went abroad that J. had raised the widow’s son

146:6.4 Never was J. able to make even all his apostles fully

146:6.4 not really dead when he bade him awake and arise.

146:6.4 But he did impress them sufficiently to keep it out

146:6.4 And again was J. so besieged as a physician that he

146:7.1 At Endor J. escaped for a few days from the

146:7.1  J. plainly told his apostles that the stray and

146:7.1 He told his followers that, after he returned to the

146:7.2  J explained to his apostles that the spirits of departed

147:0.1  J. and the apostles arrived in Capernaum on

147:0.1  J. spent time alone in the hills about his Father’s

147:0.1  J. made two secret trips to Tiberias, where they met

147:0.2 the household of Herod believed in J. and

147:0.2 had helped to lessen that ruler’s enmity toward J..

147:0.2 to Herod that the “kingdom” which J. proclaimed

147:0.2 they remained bitter and threatening enemies of J.

147:0.2 The greatest danger to J. lay in the Jerusalem

147:0.2 it was for this very reason that J. and the apostles

147:1.1 Would you, therefore, go to J. in my behalf and

147:1.1 Jewish leaders would have more influence with J..

147:1.1 So the elders went to see J. and their spokesman

147:1.2 And as he went with them over to the centurion’s

147:1.2 the Roman soldier sent his friends out to greet J.,

147:1.3 into the house and told Mangus what J. had said.

147:1.4 was not revealed to those who accompanied J..

147:2.1 J. and the apostolic party started on their journey

147:2.1 to Jerusalem just before the trial and death of J..

147:2.2 began to congregate, so much so that J. had little

147:2.2 but J. enjoined them to do no public preaching,

147:2.3 J. and all of the twelve partook of the bloodless

147:2.3 The apostles of John did not eat the Passover with J.

147:2.3 This was the second Passover J. had observed with

147:2.4 When J. and the twelve departed for Capernaum,

147:2.4 while J. and the twelve returned to work in Galilee.

147:3.1 John said to J., “Come with me, I would show

147:3.1 John conducted J. out through one of the

147:3.2 restless under the restrictions imposed by J.,

147:5.4 he took her by the hand and, lifting her up, said:

147:5.5 “Who is this man that he even dares to forgive sins?”

147:5.5 And when J. heard them thus murmuring, he turned

147:5.5 he turned to dismiss the woman, saying, “Woman,

147:5.9 He cautioned his hearers not mistakenly to apply

147:5.10 Many other semiprivate meetings did J. attend with

147:5.10 he and his apostles finally departed for Capernaum.

147:6.1 J. and the twelve departed from their Bethany

147:6.4 spies seized upon this as a pretext for assailing J..

147:6.4 they were indignant, and rushing back to where J.

148:2.2 Many of the cures effected by J. in connection with

148:2.4 unknown causes of disease, J. did not disregard the

148:2.4 Immanuel, given ere he embarked upon the venture

148:2.4 J. inspired the faith and confidence of the sick and

148:3.1 J. conducted public services at the encampment

148:3.2 he would invariably answer that he was “about the

148:3.5 Many times, when J. was alone for hours, but when

148:4.1 It was the habit of J. to hold special converse with

148:4.1 When J. heard these questions, he said to Thomas:

148:4.11 All this and much more J. said to Thomas, and much

148:4.11 J. admonished him to “speak not to the others

148:8.3 before J. interceded for the Bagdad prophet, David

148:9.1 J. was holding his last meeting with the apostles,

148:9.2 This paralytic had heard that J. was about to leave

148:9.2 they ascended to the roof of the room in which J.

148:9.2 When J. saw what they had done, he ceased

148:9.3 and lawyers heard this pronouncement by J., they

148:9.3 Does he not understand that such words are

148:9.3 And when J. had thus spoken, the paralytic arose,

149:1.1 the fame of J., particularly as a healer, had spread to

149:1.2 were beneficiaries of this unconscious healing by J.

149:1.2 they did this notwithstanding that J. would, every

149:1.2 every time he observed one of these cases of healing

149:1.7 healing occurred unconsciously to the human J.

149:1.8 in the personal presence of J., certain forms of faith

149:1.8 J. did frequently suffer men to heal themselves in his

149:1.9 and as she followed J. about through Galilee, she

149:2.1 J. understood the minds of men.

149:2.1 He knew what was in the heart of man, and had

149:2.1 had his teachings been left as he presented them,

149:2.2 Paul, in his efforts to bring the teachings of J. to

149:2.2 forth as the embodiment of the teachings of J..

149:2.2 it does also contain much that J. did not teach.

149:2.3 the teaching that J. was the sacrificed Son who

149:2.4 teaching so completely about the person of J..

149:2.4 This overemphasis of the personality of J. in the

149:2.4 Eastern religionists to accept the teachings of J..

149:2.4 We would not belittle the place of the person of J.

149:2.5 The teachers of the religion of J. should approach

149:2.6 the fame of J. rested chiefly upon his reputation as

149:2.6 more and more he was sought for spiritual help.

149:2.6 J. was increasingly sought by the victims of moral

149:2.6 he invariably taught them the way of deliverance.

149:2.6 and he revealed to them the light of life.

149:2.6 he always helped those who sought his ministry.

149:2.7 But you should never approach J. through these

149:2.7 Learn to approach the miracle through J., but do

149:2.7 the mistake of approaching J. through the miracle.

149:2.7 J. is the only founder of a religion who performed

149:2.8 J. dared to take women as teachers of the gospel

149:2.8 And he had the consummate courage to do this in

149:2.9 J. lifted women out of the disrespectful oblivion

149:2.10 As J. mingled with the people, they found him

149:2.10 He was free from religious prejudices;

149:2.10 he was never intolerant.

149:2.10 He had nothing in his heart resembling social

149:2.10 While he complied with the good in the religion of

149:2.10 he did not hesitate to disregard man-made traditions

149:2.10 He dared to teach that catastrophes of nature,

149:2.10 He denounced slavish devotion to meaningless

149:2.10 He boldly proclaimed man’s spiritual freedom and

149:2.11 J. transcended all the teachings of his forebears

149:2.11 he boldly substituted clean hearts for clean hands

149:2.11 He put reality in the place of tradition and swept a

149:2.11 He was not a militant revolutionist;

149:2.11 he was a progressive evolutionist.

149:2.11 He engaged in the destruction of that which was

149:2.11 the destruction of that which was only when he

149:2.12 J. received the obedience of his followers without

149:2.12 Only three men who received his personal call

149:2.12 He exercised a peculiar drawing power over men,

149:2.12 but he was not dictatorial.

149:2.12 J. commanded confidence, and no man ever resented

149:2.12 He assumed absolute authority over his disciples,

149:2.12 He permitted his followers to call him Master.

149:2.14 Devoted men and women loved J. with a well-nigh

149:3.1 Notwithstanding the favorable reception of J. and

149:3.1 J. was a teacher who taught as the occasion served;

149:3.1 he was not a systematic teacher.

149:3.1 J. taught not so much from the law as from life,

149:3.1 (And when he employed a parable for illustrating

149:3.1 he designed to utilize just one feature of the story

149:3.1 Many wrong ideas concerning the teachings of J.

149:3.3 When J. first met with the evangelists at the camp,

149:3.3 They were convinced that J. must be executed

149:4.1 J. did very little public work on this preaching tour,

149:4.1 he conducted many evening classes with believers in

149:4.1 the cities and villages where he chanced to sojourn

149:4.1 one of the younger evangelists asked J. a question

149:4.2 Before J. ceased speaking, he said further: “Let your

149:4.3 J. always preached temperance and taught

149:4.3 He pointed out that overmuch sympathy and pity

149:4.3 He discussed one of their former associates whose

149:4.3 At the same time he warned them against the

149:4.4 J. discoursed on the dangers of courage and faith,

149:4.4 He also showed how prudence and discretion,

149:4.4 He exhorted his hearers to strive for originality while

149:4.4 He pleaded for sympathy without sentimentality,

149:4.4 He taught reverence free from fear and superstition

149:4.5 It was not so much what J. taught about the

149:4.5 He lived in the midst of stress and storm, but

149:4.5 but he never wavered.

149:4.5 endeavored to trip him, but he did not stumble.

149:4.5 When he was interrupted in his discourses with

149:4.5 Never did he resort to ignoble tactics in meeting the

149:5.1 J. was visiting the group of evangelists working

149:5.5 J. hardly regarded this world as a “vale of tears.”

149:5.5 He rather looked upon it as the birth sphere of the

149:6.1 Philip said to J: “Master, why is it that the Scriptures

149:7.1 with the approval of J., had instructed David to

149:7.3 J., with Andrew, Peter, James, and John, remained

150:0.1 joint conference with Andrew and the apostles of J.

150:0.2 Again did J decline to participate in their discussions

150:0.2 but the apostles of J. refused to bind themselves by

150:0.4 while J. and the twelve traveled together most of

150:1.1 Of all the daring things which J. did in connection

150:1.1 J. requested David to summon his parents back to

150:1.1 that J. would dare to commission women to teach

150:1.1 ten women selected and commissioned by J. were

150:1.1 J. added two other women to this group—Mary

150:1.2 J. authorized these women to effect their own

150:1.3 The charge which J. gave these ten women as he

150:1.3 he set them apart for gospel teaching and ministry

150:1.3 the enemies of J. making great capital out of this

150:2.1 they had desired to hold personal converse with J. or

150:3.1 the women by Andrew, upon instructions from J..

150:3.2 J. gave the united group a memorable talk on

150:3.2 Andrew asked J. if these beliefs were well

150:3.2 The statement which J. made at this time may be

150:3.12 10. He exposed and denounced their belief in spells,

150:4.1 Then he designated the pairs of apostles as he

150:4.2 J. arranged the date for meeting the twelve at

150:4.4 the time of their assembling at Nazareth to meet J.

150:5.1 Rachel asked J. this question: “Master, what shall

150:5.4 When J. had left off speaking, there was rejoicing

150:6.1 At the evening discussions J. talked upon many

150:6.1 he discussed “The Love of God,” “Dreams and

150:6.2 J. would move on to join another group, being

150:6.2 the women remained much of the time with J..

150:6.3 And this was the first time J. had visited Nazareth

150:7.1 J. walked about Nazareth quite unobserved and

150:7.1 He passed by the home of his childhood and the

150:7.1 on the hill which he so much enjoyed when a lad.

150:7.1 he heard the familiar sounds of the trumpet blast

150:7.1 J. had sent Thomas to arrange with the ruler of the

150:7.1 just as he had so many, many times heard it when

150:7.1 he walked down by the synagogue where he had

150:7.1 where he had gone to school and indulged his mind

150:7.1 Earlier in the day J. had sent Thomas to arrange with

150:7.2 much resentment when he moved to Capernaum.

150:7.2 offended that he never included his native village in

150:7.2 angry because he had done none of his great works

150:7.2 the people of Nazareth had discussed J. much, but

150:7.4 the Jews even presumed to criticize J. because he

150:8.1 As a young man J. had often spoken in this place of

150:8.1 the very manuscript which he had presented to this

150:8.2 were conducted just as when J. had attended them

150:8.2 He ascended the speaking platform with the ruler of

150:8.8 ark and brought out a roll, which he presented to J.

150:8.8 J., taking the roll, stood up and began to read from

150:8.9 And when he had ceased reading from the law,

150:8.9 he turned to Isaiah and began to read: “The spirit of

150:8.10 J. closed the book and, after handing it back to the

150:8.10 He began by saying: “Today are these Scriptures

150:8.10 And then J. spoke for fifteen minutes on “The Sons

150:8.11 J. stepped down into the crowd which pressed

150:8.11 men who had been hired to make trouble for J..

150:9.1 J. found himself surrounded in the synagogue by

150:9.1 he half humorously remarked: “Yes, I am Joseph’s

150:9.3 J. would have good-naturedly managed the crowd

150:9.3 J. had long taught the apostles that a soft answer

150:9.3 these ruffians laid hold upon J. and rushed him out

150:9.3 J. turned suddenly upon his captors and, facing

150:9.3 He said nothing, but his friends were more than

150:9.3 as he started to walk forward, the mob parted and

150:9.4 J., followed by his disciples, proceeded to their

150:9.4 go back to Capernaum early the next day, as J. had

151:0.1 J. spent most of this Sabbath day alone in the

151:0.2 J. had not fully recovered from the sorrow of his

151:1.1 J. first began to employ the parable method of

151:1.1 Since J. had talked with the apostles and others

151:1.1 he went out by the seaside and sat alone in the boat,

151:1.1 said to J., “Master, shall I talk to them?”

151:1.1 And then J. began the recital of the parable of the

151:1.1 a long series of such parables which he taught the

151:1.1 This boat had an elevated seat on which he sat

151:1.1 he talked to the crowd assembled along the shore.

151:1.3 when they heard J. teach the people in this manner,

151:1.3 Matthew said to J.: “Master, what is the meaning of

151:1.5 As Andrew and Thomas talked further with J., Peter

151:2.1 they decided to go to J. and ask for an explanation

151:1.2 And when he had finished speaking this parable,

151:1.2 he said to the multitude, “He who has ears to hear,

151:2.3 J., after listening to Peter’s interpretation of the

151:2.6 Thomas caused them to recall what J. had taught

151:2.6 and before J. resumed speaking, Andrew arose,

151:2.6 After J. had beckoned Thomas to speak, he said:

151:2.8  J. more and more employed parables in connection

151:3.1 J. introduced the evening’s conference by saying:

151:3.3 1. J. advised against the use of either fables or

151:3.3 He did recommend the free use of parables,

151:3.3 He emphasized the value of utilizing the analogy

151:3.3 He frequently alluded to the natural as “the unreal

151:3.4 2. J. narrated three or four parables from the

151:3.4 a new method of teaching as he employed it from

151:3.5 3. In teaching the apostles the value of parables, J.

151:3.12 In this way J. sought to acquaint his followers with

151:3.13 J made his first comment on the parable of the sower

151:3.13 He said the parable referred to two things: First, it

151:3.14 J. also resorted to the use of parables as the best

151:3.14 He also determined upon this method of teaching

151:4.7 Many other parables spoke J. to the multitudes.

151:4.7 he seldom taught the masses except by this means.

151:4.7 After speaking to a public audience in parables, he

151:5.1 On Sabbath J. hastened away to the hills, but when

151:5.1 J. spoke to them in the afternoon after the preaching

151:5.1 and when he had finished, he said to his apostles:

151:5.3 an evening gale that caught the boat carrying J.

151:5.4 J. lay asleep in the stern of the boat under a small

151:5.4 he had directed them to sail him across to the other

151:5.4 boat as though it were a toy ship, J. slumbered on

151:5.4 dropped his oar and, rushing over to J., shook him

151:5.4 when he was aroused, Peter said: “Master, don’t

151:5.5 As J. came out in the rain, he looked first at Peter,

151:5.5 he turned his glance back upon Simon Peter, who,

151:5.5 J. had hardly uttered this rebuke to Peter and the

151:5.5 he had hardly bidden Peter seek peace wherewith to

151:5.6 J. plainly explained to the twelve that he had spoken

151:5.6 that he had spoken to their troubled spirits and had

151:5.6 that he had not commanded the elements to obey his

151:5.7 It was late in the evening when J. and his associates

151:6.2 As J. and his associates passed near this burial

151:6.3 Bethsaida, where he heard the preaching of J. and

151:6.4 When Amos recognized J., he fell down at his feet

151:6.4 I know you, J., but I am possessed of many devils,

151:6.5  J., looking down upon the man crouching like an

151:6.5 were astonished to see the lunatic sitting with J.

151:6.6 legend that J. had cured Amos by casting a legion

151:6.7  J. did not obtain the rest he was looking for.

151:6.7 Most of that day he was thronged by those who

151:6.7  J. and his friends were awakened by a delegation

151:6.7 had come to urge that he depart from their midst.

151:6.7 We know he is a holy man, but the gods of our

151:6.8 Amos besought J. to permit him to go back with

151:6.8 Amos went about publishing that J. had cast a

151:6.8 declaring what great things J. had done for him.

152:0.1 great crowd was waiting for J. when his boat landed

152:0.1 As J. spoke with those who had assembled to greet

152:0.1 and besought that he would hasten away with him,

152:0.1 When J. heard the request of this father, he said: “I

152:0.2 As J. went along with Jairus, the large crowd

152:0.2 exclaiming, “Someone touched me.”

152:0.2 “I asked who touched me, for I perceived that

152:0.2 As J. looked about him, his eyes fell upon a near-by

152:0.3 When J. heard this, he took the woman by the hand

152:0.3 but which he in no sense consciously willed.

152:0.3 J. called this woman, Veronica, into his presence to

152:0.3 He did not want Veronica to go away thinking that

152:0.3 He desired all to know that it was her pure faith that

152:1.1 But J. seemed not to heed the servant’s words, for

152:1.1 he turned and said to the grief-stricken father: “Fear

152:1.1 when he had put all the mourners out of the room,

152:1.1 he went in with the father and mother and his three

152:1.1 He told the mourners that the damsel was not dead,

152:1.1  J., going up to where the child lay, took her by the

152:1.1  J. directed that they should give her something to

152:1.2 there was much agitation in Capernaum against J.,

152:1.2 he called the family together and explained that the

152:1.2 a long fever, and that he had merely aroused her,

152:1.2 that he had not raised her from the dead.

152:1.2 He likewise explained all this to his apostles, but

152:1.2 all believed he had raised the little girl from the dead

152:1.2 What J. said in explanation of many of these miracles

152:1.2 lost no opportunity to ascribe another wonder to J.

152:1.2  J. and the apostles returned to Bethsaida after he

152:1.2 he had specifically charged all of them that they

152:1.3 When he came out of Jairus’s house, two blind men

152:1.3 Everywhere he went the sick and the afflicted were

152:1.3 concerned lest he continue his work of teaching and

152:1.4 what took place on earth in the person of J. of

152:1.5 Never before J. was on earth, nor since, has it

152:1.5 By going away from the world, J. made it possible

152:2.1  J. continued to teach the people by day while he

152:2.1 he instructed the apostles and evangelists at night.

152:2.1 to establish a new encampment, but J. refused

152:2.1 On Friday he declared a furlough of one week that

152:2.1  J. and the twelve planned to escape, unnoticed, to

152:2.4 plans to stop over at Capernaum to see and hear J.

152:2.5 Philip provided a three days’ supply of food for J.

152:2.5  that J., desiring to avoid trouble with both Herod

152:2.5 Not a word was said to J., though, of course, he

152:2.5 though, of course, he knew all that was going on.

152:2.5 who favored this attempt to proclaim J. king were

152:2.6 when J. asked James Alpheus to summon Andrew

152:2.7 Andrew returned to J., saying: “The lad has left only

152:2.8 For a moment J. stood in silence. There was a

152:2.8 J. turned suddenly to Andrew and said, “Bring me

152:2.8 when Andrew brought the basket to J., the Master

152:2.9  J. took up the loaves in his hands, and after he had

152:2.9  J. in like manner broke and distributed the fishes.

152:2.10 only nature miracle which J. performed as a result of

152:3.2 the hope of seeing J. assert his right to rule.

152:3.2 when J. stepped upon a huge stone and, lifting up

152:3.2 Every inch he looked a king as he continued to

152:3.3 These words of J. sent the multitude away stunned

152:3.3 Mark lad, spoke, “And he refused to be our king.”

152:3.3 J., before going off to be alone in the hills, turned to

152:4.2 Peter dreamed a dream; he saw a vision of J.

152:4.2 in Peter’s mind, he dreamed that he heard J. say:

152:4.2 Then Peter dreamed that J. came to the rescue

152:4.4 Peter sincerely believed that J. came to them that

152:5.1 found J., in company with their chore boy, sitting on

152:5.1  searched all night about the eastern hills for J.,

152:5.1 he and the Mark lad had started to walk around the

152:5.2 But before these received word that he was back in

152:5.5  J. then announced that he wished to withdraw for

152:5.5  J. was preparing for a great crisis of his life on earth,

152:5.5 he therefore spent much time in communion with the

152:5.6 the attempt to make J. king aroused widespread

152:6.1  J. held informal conferences with the twelve every

152:6.2 While J. and the twelve were resting at Gennesaret

152:6.2 followers of J., who numbered more than fifty

152:6.2  J. desired to give his apostles such an experience

152:6.2 hysteria after he should leave them alone in the work

152:6.2 but he was only partially successful in this effort.

152:6.4  J. taught the appeal to the emotions as the technique

152:6.4 He designated the mind thus aroused and quickened

152:6.5  J. thus endeavored to prepare the apostles for the

152:6.5 He explained to the twelve that the religious rulers

152:6.5 fully that J. was not going to sit on David’s throne.

152:6.5 popular movement to make J. king was the apex

152:6.6  J. instructed them regarding the miraculous feeding

152:6.6 telling them why he engaged in this extraordinary

152:6.6 that he did not thus yield to his sympathy for the

152:6.6 until he had ascertained that it was “according to the

152:7.1  J., accompanied only by the twelve apostles,

152:7.1 He forbade them to do any public teaching on this

152:7.1 neither did he permit them to teach or preach while

152:7.1  J., with John, stayed at the home of a believer

152:7.2  J. entered Jerusalem only once during this Passover,

152:7.2 believers were brought out by Abner to meet J. at

152:7.3  J. and the apostles left Jerusalem for Bethsaida,

152:7.3  J. dispatched Andrew to ask of the ruler of the

152:7.3  And J. well knew that that would be the last time he

152:7.3 the last time he would ever be permitted to speak in

153:0.1 the apostles noticed that J. was seriously occupied

153:0.1  J. had said little to them since they left Jerusalem.

153:0.2 Judas dared to indulge the thought that possibly J.

153:1.2 J. comprehended that he faced the immediate

153:1.2 and he elected boldly to assume the offensive.

153:1.2 At the feeding of the five thousand he challenged

153:1.2 now he chose again openly to attack their concept of

153:1.6  J. had left them dumfounded and confounded.

153:1.6 J had recently engaged in the greatest demonstration

153:2.1  J. introduced this sermon by reading from the law

153:2.2 when J. had finished this reading, he turned to the

153:2.2 he turned to the Prophets and read from Jeremiah:

153:2.8 J., pointing up to the device of a pot of manna which

153:2.10 As J. paused for a moment to look over the

153:2.10 Then said the Pharisee: “But are you not J. of

153:2.13 When J. had finished speaking, the ruler of the

153:2.13 They crowded up around J. to ask more questions

153:3.1 Many were the questions asked J. during this after

153:3.3 the Jerusalem spies who had been observing J.

153:3.5 J. then directed his remarks to all present.

153:3.6 convinced that J. must be apprehended on a

153:3.7  And J. spoke out with less reserve because he knew

153:3.7 he knew the hour had come when he could do

153:3.7 when he could do nothing more to prevent an open

153:4.1 brought to J. a distraught youth who was possessed

153:4.1 Leading this demented lad up to J., he said: “What

153:4.1 this is the first case where J. really cast an “evil spirit

153:4.2 charged that J. could do these things because he was

153:4.2 these things because he was in league with devils;

153:4.2 that he admitted in the language which he employed

153:4.2 that J. did all his so-called miracles by the power of

153:4.2 to do with this man; he is in partnership with Satan.”

153:4.6 And when he had finished speaking, his apostles

153:5.1  J. dashed to pieces the hopes of his apostles,

153:5.1 repeatedly had he crushed their fondest expectations

153:5.2 And now, when they reached home, J. refused to eat

153:5.2 For hours he isolated himself in one of the upper

153:5.2 to seek to promote the movement away from J.

153:5.3 when J. came down from the upper chamber and

153:5.4 when J. had finished speaking, Simon Peter said:

154:0.1 as J. was speaking words of comfort and courage

154:0.1 scribes and Pharisees urged Herod to arrest J.;

154:0.1 convince him that J. was stirring up the populace

154:0.1 when the people sought to proclaim J. king and

154:0.2 that J. did not propose to meddle with the affairs of

154:0.2 that he was only concerned with the establishment of

154:0.2 which brotherhood he called the kingdom of heaven.

154:0.2 influenced at this time, in his attitude toward J., by

154:0.2 to become entangled in these intrigues against J..

154:0.2 sickness which had been apparently healed by J.,

154:0.3  J prepared his followers for the impending dispersion

154:1.1  J. held intimate counsel with his followers at the

154:1.1 Pharisees and openly declare their adherence to J..

154:1.1 With this group he held sessions morning, afternoon,

154:1.2 closing the house of God to J. and all his followers.

154:1.2 as chief ruler and openly aligned himself with J..

154:1.3  J. talked to less than one hundred and fifty who

154:1.3 the lowest ebb in the tide of popular regard for J.

154:1.3 more idealistic and spiritual concepts taught by J.,

154:2.1 decree closing all the synagogues of Palestine to J.

154:2.2  J. declared a week’s holiday, urging all his disciples

154:2.3 This week of rest enabled J. to visit many families

154:2.3 He also went fishing with David Zebedee on several

154:2.4  J. sent Salome, James’s mother, to her rest, while he

154:2.4 while he ministered to his suffering apostles.

154:2.4  J. could have instantly healed these two men, but

154:2.4  did J. engage in any sort of supernatural ministration

154:3.1 A new effort was made to have Herod place J.

154:3.1 permitting the Sanhedrin authorities to seize J.

154:3.1 that Herod had become hostile to J., and that he

154:3.2 that J. be seized and carried to Jerusalem for trial

154:3.2 to seize J. within Herod’s domains and forcibly to

154:3.2 he well knew that J. could not expect a fair trial

154:4.1 momentous question: “What shall we do with J.?”

154:4.1 inclined to the belief that J. might be the Messiah,

154:4.1 equal groups who held the following views of J.:

154:4.2 1. That he was a deluded and harmless fanatic.

154:4.3 2. That he was a dangerous and designing agitator

154:4.4 3. That he was in league with devils,

154:4.4 that he might even be a prince of devils.

154:4.5 4. That he was beside himself, that he was mad,

154:4.6 could not have been built upon the teachings of J.

154:4.6 never seriously tried to carry out the teachings of J.

154:5.1 May 22 was an eventful day in the life of J..

154:5.1 or was about to authorize, the arrest of J. by the

154:5.2 J. imparted his farewell instructions to the

154:5.2 he bade them farewell for the time being, knowing

154:5.2 He directed them all to seek God for guidance and

154:5.2 He selected twelve of the evangelists to accompany

154:5.2 the twelve apostles he directed to remain with him

154:5.2 The twelve women he instructed to remain at the

154:5.2 at Peter’s house until he should send for them.

154:5.3 J. consented to David Zebedee’s continuing his

154:5.4 J. began his parting address to almost one hundred

154:5.4 This was a solemn occasion for all present, but J.

154:5.4 cheerful; he was once more like his normal self.

154:5.4 and he inspired all of them with his words of faith,

154:6.1 even Joseph, still retained much of their faith in J.,

154:6.1 never forget the visit of Gabriel ere J. was born.

154:6.1 to persuade Mary that J. was beside himself,

154:6.1 all were convinced that J. was acting strangely,

154:6.1 strangely, that he had acted strangely for some time.

154:6.1 she insisted that he had always treated his family

154:6.2 to try to persuade J. to come home with them, for,

154:6.2 “I know I could influence my son if he would only

154:6.2 had heard rumors concerning the plans to arrest J.

154:6.2 As long as J. was a popular figure in the public eye,

154:6.3 They had expected to meet J., take him aside, and

154:6.3 —if he would only give up the foolishness of trying to

154:6.3 “I will tell my brother that I think he is a man of God

154:6.3 and that I hope he would be willing to die before he

154:6.3 die before he would allow these wicked Pharisees to

154:6.3 to keep Ruth quiet while the others labored with J..

154:6.4 J. was in the very midst of delivering his parting

154:6.4 on the back porch and had word passed in to J.,

154:6.4 that J. would cease speaking and come to them

154:6.4 the moment he received word they were waiting.

154:6.5 that he must be about his Father’s business.

154:6.5 he paused in his speaking to receive the message,

154:6.6 carried her out in the garden to revive her while J.

154:6.6 He would then have gone out to confer with his

154:6.6 were on their way with authority to arrest J. and

154:6.6 Andrew received this message and, interrupting J.,

154:6.7 by surprise; so he asked J. what should be done.

154:6.8 Mary and Jesus’ brothers thought that J. did not

154:6.8 that he had lost interest in them, little realizing that

154:6.8 that it was they who failed to understand J..

154:6.8 J. understood how difficult it is for men to break

154:6.8 He knew how human beings are swayed by the

154:6.8 but he knew how far more difficult it is to persuade

154:6.9 in J. a sympathizing friend and an understanding

154:6.9 He had warned his apostles that a man’s foes may

154:6.9 but he had hardly realized how near this prediction

154:6.9 J. did not forsake his earth family to do his Father’s

154:6.9 his failure to enjoy this earlier association with J.

154:6.10 J. chose to be guided by the limited knowledge of

154:6.10 He desired to undergo the experience with his

154:6.10 And it was in the human mind of J. to see his family

154:6.10 the human mind of J. to see his family before he left.

154:6.10 He did not wish to stop in the midst of his discourse

154:6.10 He had intended to finish his address and then have

154:6.11 this explains why J. did not see his family waiting on

154:6.12 But he did say to David Zebedee as he entered the

154:7.2 who had instructions to maintain contact with J. and

154:7.2 J. was never again to make his home at the house of

154:7.4 the officers hurried up and began their search for J..

154:7.4 They refused to believe he had escaped them, and

154:7.4 while J. and his party were journeying northward

155:0.1 J. and the twenty-four went a little way to the north,

155:2.1 J. directed Peter to go over to Chorazin with the

155:2.1 he, with the eleven, departed for Caesarea-Philippi,

155:2.3 and departed for Caesarea-Philippi to join J. and the

155:2.3 J. made reference to the parable of the sower and

155:3.1 Although J. did no public work during this two

155:3.1 J. talked with the apostles each day, and they

155:3.2 truly a great and testing adventure to believe in J.

155:3.4 learned from J. to look upon human personalities in

155:3.6 J. warned his believers that,if their religious longings

155:3.8 J. repeatedly taught his apostles that no civilization

155:3.8 he never grew weary of pointing out to the twelve

155:4.2 J. delivered one of the most remarkable addresses

155:4.2 Peter asked J.: “Master, since the Father in heaven

155:4.2 before J. had begun to answer Peter’s question,

155:5.6 J. made it clear that the great difference between the

155:5.14 one of the few emotional appeals which J. ever made

155:5.16 Peter, going up to J., said: “Master, you have

156:0.1 J. and his associates arrived in the environs of Sidon,

156:0.1 times when J. was at the height of his popular favor.

156:1.1 a Syrian woman who had heard much of J. as a great

156:1.2 J. had charged his associates to tell no one of his

156:1.2 Norana, to inform her that J. lodged at the home of

156:1.3 explained that J. was weary with much teaching

156:1.3 that he had come to Phoenicia for a period of quiet

156:1.7 J., who had heard all of this conversation through

156:2.2 J. went to stay in a home just north of the city,

156:2.2 J. taught the twenty-four each morning at the home

156:2.4 that J. was like God but also that God was like J..

156:2.4 These gentiles were not afraid of J.; they dared to

156:2.4 men have not been unable to comprehend J.; they

156:2.5 J. made it clear to the twenty-four that he had not

156:2.5 that he had not fled from Galilee because he lacked

156:2.5 because he lacked courage to confront his enemies.

156:2.5 They comprehended that he was not yet ready for an

156:2.6 He told them they could not stand still; they must go

156:2.6 He admonished them to “forget those things which

156:2.6 He besought them not to be content with their

156:2.8 J. greatly regretted that his people—the Jews—were

156:4.1 J. maintained his headquarters at the home of a Jew

156:4.2 believers came out from the city to talk with J. at

156:5.1 J. first told his followers the story of the white lily

156:5.1 “Likewise,” said he, “mortal man, while he has his

156:6.5 that he would not likely ever return to bother them.

156:6.6 Philip had become a halfhearted believer in J.

156:6.7 to close the synagogues to the teachings of J. and

156:6.7 were followers of John and not disciples of J..

157:0.2 J. and his earth family failed to make contact.

157:1.1 As J., with Andrew and Peter, tarried by the lake

157:1.1 tax collector came upon them and, recognizing J.,

157:1.1 to show indignation at the suggestion that J.

157:1.2 Peter, his brother, nor J. had brought any money.

157:1.5 J., with Andrew and Peter, waited by the seashore

157:2.1 while J. and the twelve apostles were encamped in

157:2.1 many of the Pharisees, learning that J. was here,

157:2.1 united with the Pharisees in their effort to entrap J..

157:2.1 J. held a public meeting at which the Pharisees were

157:3.2 where he hoped the apostles might gain a new vision

157:3.3 J. confronted the twelve with the first question he

157:3.3 He asked this surprising question, “Who do men say

157:3.5 Peter explained that he had been, at sundry times

157:3.5 he pointed to them with a sweeping gesture of his

157:3.6 When J. had beckoned them again to be seated,

157:3.6 he said: “This has been revealed to you by my Father

157:4.1 truly believed that he was the expected Deliverer.

157:4.2 Simons were well-nigh agreed in their estimate of J.,

157:4.3 J. relieved the tension by that friendly smile which

157:4.3 With a commanding gesture he indicated that they

157:4.4 Peter, stepping a few paces forward toward J.,

157:4.5 And again he charged them, for the time being,

157:4.5 they should tell no man that he was the Son of God.

157:4.6 J. was beginning to have faith in the loyalty and

157:4.7 this same J. has been building that living temple

157:4.8 when J. had thus spoken, he directed the twelve to

157:5.1 the clear-cut recognition that J. was the Son of God,

157:5.1 the supernal fact that he was the Son of Man and

157:5.1 the human nature with the divine nature that J.

157:5.2 J. had sought to live his life on earth and complete

157:5.2 Knowing that he could never fulfill their Messianic

157:5.2 he endeavored to effect such a modification of their

157:5.2 he now recognized that such a plan could hardly

157:5.2 He therefore elected boldly to disclose the third

157:5.2 proclaim to the twelve that he was a Son of God.

157:5.3 For three years J. had been proclaiming that he was

157:5.3 insistent that he was the expected Jewish Messiah.

157:5.3 He now disclosed that he was the Son of God,

157:5.3 he determined to build the kingdom of heaven.

157:5.3 He had decided to refrain from further efforts to

157:5.3 to convince them that he was not the Messiah.

157:5.3 He now proposed to reveal to them what he is,

157:6.1 J. and the apostles remained another day at the

157:6.1 Following the collapse of the popularity of J. with

157:6.1 Matthew was loath to leave J. and his brethren at

157:6.3 J. now entered upon the fourth and last stage of

157:6.3 his childhood, the years when he was only dimly

157:6.3 manhood, during which he came more clearly to

157:6.4 Thus did J. exemplify in his life what he taught in his

157:6.4 He did not place emphasis, as did his later followers,

157:6.4 He rather taught that the spirit was easy victor over

157:6.5 Before Caesarea-Philippi he presented the gospel

157:6.5 After Caesarea-Philippi he appeared not merely as

157:6.5 it was required that he do all this as a human being,

157:6.6 J. had sincerely endeavored to lead his followers into

157:6.6 He well knew that his earth mission could not fulfill

157:6.6 had portrayed a Messiah which he could never be.

157:6.6 He sought to establish the Father’s kingdom as the

157:6.6 J., seeing this, then elected to meet his believers part

157:6.7 the apostles heard much that was new as J. talked to

157:7.1 he sought out J. and presented his cause for

157:7.2 And that was all Andrew could elicit from J..

157:7.2 disappointed when J. refused to be made king,

157:7.2 been humiliated when he fled from the Pharisees,

157:7.2 chagrined when he refused to accept the challenge

157:7.3 selfsame trials and tribulations, but they loved J..

157:7.4 Time and again, when J. would send his apostles

157:7.4 subtle doubts about the mission of J. as well as

157:7.5 And now J. would take his apostles along with him

157:7.5 Mt. Hermon, where he had appointed to inaugurate

157:7.5 he desired that some of them should also be present

158:0.1 when J. and his associates reached the foot of Mount

158:0.2 J. knew beforehand what was to transpire on the

158:0.2 he much desired that all his apostles might share this

158:0.2 he tarried with them at the foot of the mountain.

158:0.2 And since he could not take all of his associates

158:0.2 he decided to take only the three who were in the

158:1.1 J. and the three apostles began the ascent of Mount

158:1.2 J. had been summoned to go up on the mountain,

158:1.2 event was timed to occur while J. and the apostles

158:1.3 J. told the three apostles something of his experience

158:1.4 When a boy, J. used to ascend the hill near his home

158:1.4 now he ascended Mount Hermon to receive the

158:1.6 J. withdrew for a long conference with Gabriel and

158:1.8 they beheld J. in converse with two brilliant beings

158:1.8 conjectured that the beings with J. were Moses

158:1.9 vision faded before them and they observed J.

158:1.9J., Master, it is good to have been here. We

158:1.10 when the cloud vanished, again was J. alone with

158:1.10 he reached down and touched them, saying: “Arise

158:2.1 J. then began the conversation by remarking: “Make

158:2.1 now he began to talk about “rising from the dead”!

158:2.2 J., knowing that Peter sought to avoid reference to

158:2.2 that he referred to John the Baptist as Elijah.

158:2.2 J. knew that, if they insisted on regarding him as

158:2.3 J. enjoined silence about their observation of the

158:2.3 because he did not want to foster the notion that,

158:2.3 he would in any degree fulfill erroneous concepts of

158:2.5 J. did not take Peter, James, and John with him up to

158:2.5 He well knew that none of the twelve were qualified

158:2.5 therefore did he take with him only the apostles who

158:2.5 he desired to be alone to enjoy solitary communion.

158:3.2 J. had now received assurance of their fulfillment.

158:3.2 And Gabriel brought J. that assurance.

158:3.4 J. welcomed this testimony regarding the success of

158:3.4 but he noted that his Father did not indicate that the

158:3.5 After this celestial visitation J. sought to know his

158:3.5 This was the significance of the transfiguration to J..

158:3.6 J. held informal converse with these, his Sons of

158:4.1 when J. and his companions arrived at the camp.

158:4.1 scribes and believing disciples who had tracked J.

158:4.2 who had arrived the preceding day in quest of J..

158:4.3 seeking J. that he might entreat him to cure his son.

158:4.3 J. was up on the mountain with the three apostles.

158:4.4 forty other persons who were looking for J.,

158:4.4 now that J. himself had accepted their confession

158:4.4 that he was indeed the Deliverer—at least he had

158:4.4 —at least he had admitted the fact of his divinity—

158:4.4 when James of Safed and his fellow seekers after J.

158:4.5 I would have J. cast out this devil that possesses my

158:4.6 J. is the Deliverer, and the keys of the kingdom

158:4.6 you unclean spirit; in the name of J. obey me.”

158:4.8 so, while J. was descending the mountain with the

158:4.8 could give him no idea as to when J. might return,

158:5.0 5. JESUS HEALS THE BOY

158:5.1 As J. drew near, the nine apostles were more than

158:5.1 They all rushed forward to greet J. and their three

158:5.2 When J. had listened to this recital, he touched the

158:5.2 he touched the kneeling father and bade him rise

158:5.2 he gave the near-by apostles a searching survey.

158:5.3 even the enemies of J., were astonished at what they

158:6.1 the twelve gathered about J., and Thomas said:

158:6.5 When J. had thus spoken to the twelve, he added

158:6.6 afraid to ask aught concerning what he had said,

158:7.1 J. and the twelve departed from Caesarea-Philippi

158:7.1 been shocked by this talk about the death of J..

158:7.1 whom J. knew would presently be coming along

158:7.1 he directed that they go on to Capernaum by the

158:7.1 And he did this because he knew that those who

158:7.1 they reckoned that J. and the apostles would fear

158:7.1 J. sought to elude his critics and the crowd which

158:7.1 that he might be alone with his apostles this day.

158:7.2 Andrew, speaking to J., said: “Master, my brethren

158:7.3 while he was yet speaking, Simon Peter, rushing

158:7.4 Peter spoke thus because he loved J.; but

158:7.4 the subtle suggestion of temptation that he change

158:7.4 it was because he detected the danger of permitting

158:7.4 that he turned upon Peter and the other apostles,

158:7.6 thus did J. make plain to the twelve the painful path

158:7.6 J. was not sending them alone into the conflict; he

158:7.6 alone into the conflict; he was leading them.

158:7.6 He asked only that they bravely follow.

158:7.7 J. was telling them something about the possibility

158:7.7 They only vaguely comprehended what he said about

158:7.8 J. had always been patient with their shortcomings,

158:7.9 In silence J. and the twelve started for their camp at

158:7.9 though they did not converse with J., they talked

158:8.1 J., knowing what it was that occupied their

158:8.2 When J. had finished speaking, they entered the boat

159:0.1 When J. and the twelve arrived at Magadan Park,

159:0.2 J. allotted four weeks to this tour, instructing his

159:0.2 He promised to visit them often during this time.

159:1.1 in answer to a disciple’s question, J. taught the

159:1.4 and when he heard J. thus speak, he asked: “Lord,

159:1.6 Thus did J. teach the dangers and illustrate the

159:1.6 J. invested legislative and judicial authority in the

159:1.6 J. sought always to minimize the elements of

159:2.1 J. went over to Gamala to visit John and those

159:2.1 John said to J.: “Master, yesterday I went over to

159:2.2 in this case J. was referring to man’s personal

159:2.4 This man, Aden, had been led to believe in J.

159:2.4 the testimony of the demented man whom J. healed

159:3.1 J. spent a day and a night and, in the course of the

159:3.14 And much more did J. teach this group of believers

159:4.1 And then went J. over to Abila, where Nathaniel

159:4.1 Nathaniel took J. away from the others and asked:

159:4.1 When J. heard the question of his bewildered apostle

159:5.1 J. taught the disciples about the positive nature of

159:5.1 he intimated that some parts of the Scripture were

159:5.7 J., day by day, appropriated the cream of the

159:5.7 J. made the care of God for man like the solicitude

159:5.7 J. took the best of the Jewish religion and

159:5.8 J. put the spirit of positive action into the passive

159:5.8 J. enjoined the positive doing of that which his

159:5.8 He did not teach that the essence of his religion

159:5.9 J. did not hesitate to appropriate the better half of a

159:5.9 the better half of a Scripture while he repudiated the

159:5.9 he took from the Scripture which reads: “You shall

159:5.9 J. appropriated the positive portion of this Scripture

159:5.9 He even opposed negative or purely passive

159:5.9 J. required his followers to react positively and

159:5.10 J. did not advocate the practice of negative

159:5.10 And he so lived himself in that “he went about doing

159:5.10 many parables which he later spoke to his followers.

159:5.10 He never exhorted his followers patiently to bear

159:5.11 When J. instructed his apostles that they should,

159:5.11 he referred not so much to a literal second coat as to

159:5.11 J. abhorred the idea of retaliation or of becoming

159:5.11 On this occasion he taught them the three ways of

159:5.16 but not until J. came, did men hear about a God who

159:5.16 This positive note in religion J. extended even to his

159:5.16 And he converted the negative golden rule into a

159:5.17 teaching J. unfailingly avoided distracting details.

159:5.17 He shunned flowery language and avoided the mere

159:5.17 He habitually put large meanings into small

159:5.17 J. reversed the current meanings of many terms,

159:5.17 He most effectively employed the antithesis,

159:5.17 J. brought the philosophy of religion from heaven

159:5.17 He portrayed the elemental needs of the soul with

159:6.1 without the inspiration of the personal presence of J.

159:6.3 in touch with each other and with J. and the apostles

159:6.3 funds, not only for the sustenance of J. and his

159:6.5 J. and his associates prepared to take a week’s rest

160:0.1 J. enjoyed a period of almost complete rest, but

160:0.1 This Greek had recently become a disciple of J.

160:0.1 authoritative version of the gospel from either J. or

160:0.1 he did receive him graciously and directed that

160:1.10 methods of problem solving I have learned from J.,

160:1.10 I refer to that which he so consistently practices,

160:1.10 which he has so faithfully taught you, the isolation

160:1.11 the custom of J. in going apart by himself to

160:3.1 J. has taught us that God lives in man; then how

160:5.7 The religion of J. transcends all our former concepts

160:5.7 in that he not only portrays his Father as the ideal of

160:5.10 I see in the teachings of J., religion at its best.

161:0.1 J. surprised all by announcing that early the next day

161:0.1 he and the twelve apostles would start for Jerusalem

161:0.1 He directed that the evangelists visit the believers in

161:0.2 And so, while J. and the ten were on their way to

161:1.3 they had asked J. to come to their rescue, but he

161:1.6 was the general belief that J. was the Eternal Son.)

161:1.7 2. Since J. was equal with the Father, and since this

161:1.8 3. That J. was on terms of mutual association and

161:1.8 communication with man; that J. was the Son of

161:1.8 understanding; that J. and the Father were one.

161:1.8 That J. maintained at one and the same time

161:1.8 the personality of J. demonstrated the personality

161:1.10 Rodan had been influenced by the teaching of J.,

161:1.11 I am satisfied to end the argument and to accept J.

161:2.0 2. THE DIVINE NATURE OF JESUS

161:2.1 the teaching dealing with the divine nature of J.,

161:2.2 1. J. has admitted his divinity, and we believe him.

161:2.2 only by believing that he is the Son of God as well as

161:2.3 He is the most truly unselfish person we have ever

161:2.3 He is the friend even of sinners;

161:2.3 he dares to love his enemies.

161:2.3 He is very loyal to us.

161:2.3 While he does not hesitate to reprove us, it is plain

161:2.3 it is plain to all that he truly loves us.

161:2.3 comprehend his mission, he has been a faithful

161:2.3 While he makes no use of flattery,

161:2.3 he does treat us all with equal kindness;

161:2.3 he is invariably tender and compassionate.

161:2.3 He has shared his life and everything else with us.

161:2.4 3. We think J. is divine because he never does wrong

161:2.4 he never does wrong; he makes no mistakes.

161:2.4 He lives in perfect accord with the Father’s will.

161:2.4 He never repents of misdeeds because he

161:2.4 he transgresses none of the Father’s laws.

161:2.4 He prays for us and with us, but he never asks us

161:2.4 We believe that he is consistently sinless.

161:2.4 He claims to live a perfect life, and we acknowledge

161:2.4 and we acknowledge that he does.

161:2.4 He even professes to forgive sins and does heal

161:2.4 And he has seemed to be thus perfect in his

161:2.4 evil, recognize these elements of goodness in J..

161:2.4 He is both meek and fearless.

161:2.4 He seems to approve of our belief in his divinity.

161:2.4 He is either what he professes to be, or else he is

161:2.4 or else he is the greatest hypocrite and fraud the

161:2.4 We are persuaded that he is just what he claims to

161:2.5 convince us that he is a combination of humanity

161:2.5 He unfailingly responds to the spectacle of human

161:2.5 He is quick to recognize and generous to

161:2.5 He is so just and fair and at the same time so

161:2.5 He grieves over the spiritual obstinacy of the people

161:2.6 He seems to know the thoughts of men’s minds

161:2.6 And he is always sympathetic with our troubled

161:2.6 He seems to possess all our human emotions, but

161:2.6 He strongly loves goodness and equally hates sin.

161:2.6 He possesses a superhuman consciousness of the

161:2.6 He prays like a man but performs like a God.

161:2.6 He seems to foreknow things;

161:2.6 he even now dares to speak about his death,

161:2.6 While he is kind, he is also brave and courageous.

161:2.6 He never falters in doing his duty.

161:2.7 He also seems to know about the thoughts of his

161:2.7 He undoubtedly has communion with celestial

161:2.7 he unquestionably lives on a spiritual plane far above

161:2.7 He asks us questions to draw us out, not to gain

161:2.8 he has never denied that he came from the Father

161:2.8 He speaks with the authority of a divine teacher.

161:2.8 He is assertive, positive, and authoritative.

161:2.8 Even John the Baptist, when he heard J. speak,

161:2.8 declared that he was the Son of God.

161:2.8 He seems to be so sufficient within himself.

161:2.8 He craves not the support of the multitude;

161:2.8 he is indifferent to the opinions of men.

161:2.8 He is brave and yet so free from pride.

161:2.9 He constantly talks about God as an ever-present

161:2.9 as an ever-present associate in all that he does.

161:2.9 He goes about doing good, for God seems to be in

161:2.9 He makes the most astounding assertions about

161:2.9 statements which would be absurd if he were not

161:2.9 He once declared, “Before Abraham was, I am.”

161:2.9 He has definitely claimed divinity;

161:2.9 he professes to be in partnership with God.

161:2.9 He well-nigh exhausts the possibilities of language

161:2.9 He dares to assert that he and the Father are one.

161:2.9 He says that any one who has seen him has seen

161:2.9 And he says and does all these tremendous things

161:2.9 He alludes to his association with the Father in the

161:2.9 same manner that he refers to his association with us

161:2.9 He seems to be so sure about God and speaks of

161:2.10 he appears to communicate directly with his Father.

161:2.10 that he talks with God, as it were, face to face.

161:2.10 He seems to know the future as well as the past.

161:2.10 He simply could not be all of this and do all of the

161:2.10 things unless he were something more than human.

161:2.10 We know he is human, we are sure of that, but we

161:2.10 but we are almost equally sure that he is also divine.

161:2.10 We believe that he is divine.

161:2.10 We are convinced that he is the Son of Man and the

161:3.1 divinity was a gradual growth in the mind of J.

161:3.1 After he became fully self-conscious of his divine

161:3.1 he seems to have possessed the power of variously

161:3.1 it was entirely optional with J. whether to depend

161:3.1 At times he appeared to avail himself of only that

161:3.1 he appeared to act with such fullness of knowledge

161:3.2 the theory that he could, at will, self-limit his divinity

161:3.2 he frequently withheld from his associates his

161:3.2 that he was aware of the nature of their thinking

161:3.2 We understand that he did not wish his followers

161:3.2 too fully that he was able to discern their thoughts

161:3.2 He did not desire too far to transcend the concept of

161:3.3 We are convinced that he used both these techniques

161:3.3 to specify which method he may have employed.

162:0.1 When J started up to Jerusalem with the ten apostles

162:0.1 he planned to go through Samaria, that being the

162:0.1 J. sent Philip and Matthew over to a village on the

162:0.1 These people knew very little about J., and they

162:0.2 up to J. and said: “Master, we pray you to give us

162:0.2 But when J. heard these words of vengeance,

162:0.2 he turned upon the sons of Zebedee and severely

162:0.3 J. and the ten stopped for the night at the village

162:0.4 J. and the twelve remained in the vicinity of

162:0.4 J. himself went into the city only a few times,

162:0.4 He spent a portion of October with Abner and his

162:1.1 the followers of J. had implored him to go to

162:1.1 now that he had actually come to Jerusalem to teach,

162:1.1 Knowing that the Sanhedrin had sought to bring J.

162:1.2 During the feast of tabernacles J. went boldly into

162:1.2 This he did in spite of the efforts of his apostles to

162:1.3 Judas had dared to think that J. had fled in haste into

162:1.3 fled because he feared the Jewish leaders and Herod

162:1.4 thousands of believers saw J., heard him teach,

162:1.5 many reasons why J. was able publicly to preach

162:1.5 the Sanhedrin either secretly believed in J. or else

162:1.5 at least friendly to the spiritual movement which he

162:1.6 the enemies of J. dared not be too outspoken in their

162:1.6 This was one of the reasons why J. could publicly

162:1.6 before he would certainly have been put to death.

162:1.7 the audacious boldness of J. in publicly appearing in

162:1.7 conjectured he must have been promised protection

162:1.7 Philip was almost a follower of J., the members of

162:1.7 speculated that Philip had secured for J. promises

162:1.7 J. had departed from their jurisdiction before they

162:1.8 Only the apostles had known J. intended to attend

162:1.9 his disciples had not expected J. to attend the feast,

162:1.9 on several occasions he taught in Solomon’s Porch

162:1.9 the announcement of the divinity of J. to the Jewish

162:1.11 Every time J. went to Jerusalem, his apostles were

162:1.11 were unaccustomed to hearing J. make such positive

162:2.1 The first afternoon that J. taught in the temple,

162:2.2 Some said he was mad; some that he had a devil.

162:2.2 and asked J., “Why do the rulers seek to kill you?”

162:2.4 though he does not meet all of our expectations of

162:2.4 will really do anything more wonderful than this J.

162:2.5 to put a stop to these public appearances of J. in

162:2.5 in general, were disposed to avoid a clash with J.,

162:2.6 with two assistants was dispatched to arrest J..

162:2.6 As Eber made his way toward J., the Master said:

162:2.8 Will he go to live among the Greeks?

162:2.8 Will he destroy himself?

162:2.8 What can he mean when he declares that soon he

162:2.8 and that we cannot go where he goes?”

162:2.9 Eber and his assistants refused to arrest J.; they

162:2.9 because they had not brought J. with them, Eber

162:2.9 He cheers the downhearted, and his words were

162:2.9 though he may not be the Messiah of the Scriptures?

162:2.10 The Sanhedrin disbanded in confusion, and J.

162:3.1 J. dealt with a certain woman of evil repute who was

162:3.1 woman had been brought before J. by the scribes

162:3.1 J. so dealt with them as to indicate that these

162:3.1 J. well knew that, while these scribes were spiritually

162:3.2 as J. approached the temple, he was met by a group

162:3.2 he was met by a group of the hired agents of the

162:3.3 if he upheld the law of Moses requiring that the

162:3.3 If he forbade stoning the woman, they would accuse

162:3.3 If he remained silent, they would accuse him of

162:3.4 a man who had been a troublemaker for J.

162:3.4 for the purpose of ensnaring J. into making some

162:3.5 J., looking over the crowd, saw Hildana’s husband

162:3.5 He knew what sort of man he was and perceived

162:3.5 J. first walked around to near where this

162:3.5 Then he came back before the woman and wrote

162:4.1 an ideal occasion for J. for the first time publicly to

162:5.5 As J. thus taught the pilgrims in the temple courts,

162:6.2 J. did not interrupt the service to speak these words.

162:6.2 He addressed the worshipers immediately after the

162:6.4 And J. continued to answer the questions of both

162:6.4 Some thought he was a prophet; some believed him

162:6.4 others said he could not be the Christ, seeing that he

162:6.4 that he came from Galilee, and that the Messiah must

162:7.1 J. again went into the temple to teach.

162:7.6 J. was unable to continue the discourse.

162:8.1 had been arranged that J. should lodge with Lazarus

162:8.2 Jesus’ teaching whenever he chanced to visit them.

162:8.3 went to J. and said: “Master, do you not care that

162:9.1 made no effort to molest these gatherings since J.

162:9.1 he was throughout this time working with Abner

162:9.1 following the close of the feast, J. had departed for

162:9.1 he did not again teach in the temple during this visit

162:9.2 J. and Abner completed the arrangements for the

162:9.3 J. had divided his time about equally between

162:9.3 at Bethlehem he gave much instruction to Abner

162:9.3 influenced by the courage he displayed in his public

162:9.4 agreed that Abner and his associates were to join J.

162:9.5 Abner and his eleven fellows cast their lot with J.

162:9.6 J. and the twelve withdrew from the vicinity of

162:9.6 J. and his associates left the city of Ephraim, where

162:9.6 Ephraim, where he had been resting in seclusion for

163:0.1 after the return of J. and the twelve to Magadan

163:0.1 J. and the twelve began a course of intensive

163:0.2 J. gave a talk to this company each morning.

163:1.1 The seventy were ordained by J. on Sabbath

163:1.3 Before J. laid his hands upon the heads of the

163:1.5 When J. had thus spoken to the seventy, he began

163:1.5 he began with Abner and, as they knelt in a circle

163:2.1 were rejected by the committee appointed by J. to

163:2.1 they brought the candidate to J., and while the

163:2.1 a dozen who, when they had talked with J., no

163:2.2 to J., saying: “Master, I would be one of your new

163:2.4 Andrew brought to J. a certain rich young man who

163:2.4 he had heard J. teach and had been subsequently

163:2.4 J. talked with Matadormus concerning the

163:2.4 as J. was going for a walk, this young man accosted

163:2.5 When J. heard this, he looked down upon him with

163:2.6 J. knew that he was not free from the love of

163:2.6 disciples of J. did not part with all their worldly

163:2.9 J. foresaw that Matadormus, with his riches, could

163:2.9 he saw that, without his riches, Matadormus would

163:2.9 willing to do at this time the very thing which J.

163:2.11 J. never taught that it was wrong to have wealth.

163:2.11 He required only the twelve and the seventy to

163:2.11 he provided for the profitable liquidation of their

163:2.11 J. many times advised his well-to-do disciples as

163:2.11 as he taught the rich man of Rome.

163:2.11 J. never personally had anything to do with the

163:2.11 But there was one economic abuse which he many

163:2.11 J. declared that such inhuman treatment of men,

163:3.1 the time J. had finished talking with Matadormus,

163:3.3 J. was grieved that Matadormus did not remain

163:3.3 did not remain with them, for he greatly loved him.

163:4.1 J. placed emphasis on the following: 1. The gospel

163:4.9 When J. had talked to the seventy in the presence of

163:4.17 Certain it was that J. would have accepted no less

163:5.1 J. and the twelve now prepared to establish their last

163:5.2 came into Perea to see J. and to hear his teaching.

163:6.1 while J. was away in the near-by hills with Peter,

163:6.1 assembled at the teaching site when J. returned to

163:6.1 At last J. was able to see men going out to spread

163:6.3 that J. experienced one of those rare moments of

163:6.4 When J. had thus spoken to the Father, he turned

163:6.4 he turned aside to speak to his apostles and ministers

163:7.1 J. and his associates were about to enter upon their

163:7.1 the headquarters of J. and the twelve apostles was

163:7.2 no longer necessary for J. to go abroad to teach the

163:7.2 period at least ten of the apostles remained with J..

163:7.4 terminal phase under the personal leadership of J..

164:0.1 J., taking with him Nathaniel and Thomas, secretly

164:0.1 of no avail; J. was determined to visit Jerusalem.

164:1.1 a considerable company gathered about J. and the

164:1.1 a certain lawyer, seeking to entangle J. in a

164:1.1 The lawyer, knowing the teachings of both J. and

164:1.2 to justify himself while also hoping to embarrass J.,

164:1.2 The lawyer asked this question hoping to entrap J.

164:1.3 But J. discerned the lawyer’s motive, and instead

164:1.3 he proceeded to tell his hearers a story, a story

164:1.4 “Who is my neighbor?” which J. wished given,

164:1.4 and which, if J. had so stated, would have directly

164:1.4 J. not only confounded the dishonest lawyer, but

164:1.4 he told his hearers a story which was at the same

164:2.1 J. had attended the feast of tabernacles that he

164:2.1 that he might proclaim the gospel to the pilgrims

164:2.1 he now went up to the feast of the dedication for

164:2.3 They had sought to advise J. concerning his desire to

164:2.4 the final remark of J. regarding the offer of the

164:3.1 as J. and his two apostles drew near the temple,

164:3.1 J. paused and looked upon the beggar. As he

164:3.1 As he gazed upon this man who had been born blind,

164:3.1 as to how he would once more bring his mission on

164:3.6 J. entered into the discussion of this case with

164:3.6 he had already decided to use this blind man as the

164:3.6 he always encouraged his apostles to seek for the

164:3.6 He had often warned them to avoid the common

164:3.7 J. decided to use this beggar in his plans for that

164:3.7 he proceeded to answer Nathaniel’s question.

164:3.8 When J. had spoken, he said to Nathaniel and

164:3.8 Then, stooping over, he spat on the ground and

164:3.8 he went up to Josiah and put the clay over his

164:3.10 answered them: “A man called J. came by this way,

164:3.10 he made clay with spittle, anointed my eyes, and

164:3.11 Josiah did not know that the J. who had directed

164:3.11 or a prophet; accordingly he did as J. directed him.

164:3.12 J. made use of the clay and the spittle and directed

164:3.13 This was a wonder which J. chose to perform for a

164:3.13 which he so arranged that this man might derive

164:3.15 J. had a third reason for resorting to these material

164:3.15 he desired to teach his followers of that day and all

164:3.15 He wanted to teach them that they must cease to

164:3.16 J. gave this man his sight by miraculous working,

164:3.16 He was always positive in everything he did.

164:3.16 that J. brought his two apostles to this man early

164:4.1 J. knew that Sabbath breaking would be one of the

164:4.1 he desired to be brought before the Sanhedrin for

164:4.2 they did not call J. before them; they feared to.

164:4.2 but Josiah did not yet perceive that J. was he who

164:4.3 man cannot be from God because you can see that he

164:4.3 He violates the law, first, in making the clay, then, in

164:4.4 the younger men who secretly believed in J., said: “If

164:4.4 “If this man is not sent by God, how can he do these

164:4.4 who dared to accuse and denounce J. one would

164:4.4 “What do you have to say about this man, this J.,

164:4.4 And Josiah answered, “I think he is a prophet.”

164:4.6 that J. was denied entrance into all synagogues,

164:4.9 question, asking: “Just how did he open your eyes?

164:4.9 what did he actually do to you?

164:4.9 what did he say to you?

164:4.9 did he ask you to believe in him?”

164:4.10 but as for this man J., we know not whence he is.”

164:4.11 which you have heard, that he opened my eyes.

164:4.11 if this man were not from God, he could not do this.

164:4.12 Josiah entered this trial with meager ideas about J.

164:5.1 J. was walking about near at hand, teaching the

164:5.1 hoping that he would be summoned before the

164:5.1 he could tell them the good news of the liberty and

164:5.1 sudden and public appearances of J. in Jerusalem.

164:5.1 The very occasion they had so ardently sought, J.

164:5.2 and as J. lingered, the crowds asked him many

164:5.2 and he taught them for more than two hours.

164:5.2 building the temple to pick up stones to cast at J.,

164:5.3 lay hands upon the stones to cast at him, but he

164:5.3 he waited with them near the temple until Josiah

164:5.4 J. and the two apostles did not go in search of Josiah

164:5.4 and heard him, and it is he who now speaks to you.”

164:5.5 J. directed that Josiah should immediately prepare to

164:5.6 J. left Jerusalem, not again to return until near the

164:5.6 near the time when he prepared to leave this world.

165:0.1 From these labors J. went directly to Jerusalem to

165:0.1 seventy, supplemented by the periodic labors of J.

165:0.2 thoroughly worked by the apostles and disciples of J.

165:0.4 J. divided his time between the camp at Pella and

165:0.4 the seventy baptized all believers, although J. had

165:1.1 and J. taught this multitude at least once each day

165:1.1 this multitude when he was in residence at the camp,

165:1.1 The evenings J. reserved for the usual sessions of

165:1.2 the time when J. began his journey toward Jerusalem

165:1.2  which heard J. or Peter preach each morning.

165:1.3 J. and the twelve apostles devoted much of their

165:1.3 going out with J. to visit Abner’s associates from

165:2.1 Pharisees and others, followed J. north to Pella

165:2.1 he hastened away from the jurisdiction of the Jewish

165:2.1 J. preached the sermon on the “Good Shepherd.”

165:2.5 And when J. had spoken this parable, no one asked

165:2.5 After a time he began again to speak and went on to

165:2.11 saying, “He is either mad or has a devil.”

165:2.11 “He speaks like one having authority; besides, who

165:2.12 half of these Jewish teachers professed belief in J.,

165:3.1 J. preached the memorable sermon on “Trust and

165:3.9 When J. had finished speaking, many went forth to

165:3.9 he listened to the questions of those who remained.

165:4.1 J. was mildly indignant that this material-minded

165:4.1 but he proceeded to use the occasion for the

165:4.4 J. thus dealt with the young man and his inheritance

165:4.4 because he knew that his trouble was covetousness.

165:4.5 When J. had finished his story, another man rose

165:4.7 J. did not teach nor countenance improvidence,

165:4.7 But he did teach that the material and temporal must

165:4.8 the first man came privately to J. about his

165:4.8 as he thought J. had dealt harshly with him;

165:4.9 J. sent the young man away, saying to him, “My son,

165:4.10 asked J. how the wealthy would stand in the day of

165:4.14 Then J. went into his tent to rest for a while before

165:4.14 on earth and treasure in heaven, but he was asleep.

165:5.1 J. and the twelve gathered together for their daily

165:6.4 J. and the twelve went into the cities of Perea to visit

166:0.1 J. and the twelve made a tour of all the cities and

166:0.1 J. repeatedly called the attention of his apostles to

166:1.1 J. was at Ragaba, where there lived a wealthy

166:1.1 a number of his fellow Pharisees were following J.

166:1.1 a breakfast, and invited J. as the guest of honor.

166:1.2 By the time J. arrived at this breakfast, most of the

166:1.2 knew that he washed his hands only for purposes of

166:1.2 he abhorred these purely ceremonial performances;

166:1.2 Neither did J. wash his hands, as did the Pharisees

166:1.5 When J. would have risen to depart, one of the

166:1.6 when J. had finished speaking at Nathaniel’s table,

166:1.6 he went out of the house without partaking of food.

166:1.11 J. sought to expose the spiritual barrenness of the

166:1.11 while he reserved his remarks designed to rebuke the

166:1.11 when he would again be dining with many of these

166:2.1 The next day J. went with the twelve to Amathus,

166:2.1 They had heard much of J. and his earlier miracles

166:2.1 When the lepers saw J. drawing near them, not

166:2.2 J. had just been explaining to the twelve why the

166:2.2 He had called their attention to the fact that their

166:2.4 healed, he turned back and, going in quest of J.,

166:2.6 J. looked at his apostles as the stranger departed.

166:2.6 the apostles all looked at J., save Simon Zelotes,

166:2.6 Neither did J. speak; it was not necessary that he

166:2.8 J. enjoined the twelve to say nothing about the

166:3.1 As J. and the twelve visited with the messengers of

166:4.1 the custom of J. and the apostles to pause at midday

166:4.1 Thomas asked J.: “Master, from hearing your

166:4.12 J. continued to teach them and to answer questions

166:4.12 J. found it necessary to reiterate his message, to tell

166:4.12 to tell again and again that which he wished them to

166:5.1 J. and the twelve were on their way to visit Abner

166:5.1 had never been closed to the teachings of J. and his

166:5.3 after the death and resurrection of J. the Jerusalem

166:5.4 all attempts of Paul to remake the teachings of J.

166:5.5 as the “clever corrupter of the life teachings of J.

166:5.6 Philadelphia held more strictly to the religion of J.,

167:0.1 when mention is made of J. and the apostles

167:0.1 As J. prepared to go on to Philadelphia, Simon

167:0.2 without the personal presence of J. or even of his

167:0.3 J. and the ten apostles arrived at Philadelphia on

167:1.1 and who invited J. to his house Sabbath morning for

167:1.1 It was known that J. was expected in Philadelphia at

167:1.2 As J. lingered by the door, speaking with Abner,

167:1.3 the majority of those present were disciples of J.

167:1.3 he did not observe the ceremonial washing of his

167:1.3 washing of his hands before he sat down to eat.

167:1.4 He made no request of J. for healing, but the

167:1.4 when he entered the room, both J. and the self-

167:1.4 But J. looked upon the sick man and smiled so

167:1.4 present knew J. too well; they held their peace;

167:1.5 Then went J. over to where the sick man sat and,

167:1.5 Before the man left the room, J. returned to his seat

167:2.1 As J. finished speaking at the breakfast table of the

167:2.1 then J. spoke a parable, which even his friendly host

167:2.4 Though J. listened with interest to all of these

167:2.4 he steadfastly refused to offer them further help in

167:3.1 first time J. had appeared in a synagogue since they

167:3.1 J. looked down before him upon an elderly woman

167:3.1 As J. stepped down from the pulpit, he went over

167:3.1 he went over to her and, touching her bowed-over

167:3.2 thought that J. had healed a real physical disorder.

167:3.2 was friendly toward the teachings of J.,

167:3.2 he shared the opinion that J. had healed a physical

167:3.2 being indignant because J. had presumed to do

167:3.4 As a result of his public criticism of J. the chief ruler

167:3.4 deposed, and a follower of J. was put in his place.

167:3.5 J. frequently delivered such victims of fear from

167:3.6 J. taught again in the synagogue on Sunday,

167:3.6 On the morrow J. and the ten apostles would have

167:3.6 brought an urgent message to J. from his friends at

167:4.1 This message reached J. at the close of the evening

167:4.1 as he was taking leave of the apostles for the night.

167:4.1 At first J. made no reply. There occurred one of

167:4.1 a time when he appeared to be in communication

167:4.1 And then, looking up, he addressed the messenger in

167:4.2 J. was very fond of Martha, Mary, and their brother,

167:4.2 he loved them with a fervent affection.

167:4.2 He had almost given up hope that the Jewish leaders

167:4.2 but he still loved his people, and there now occurred

167:4.2 he decided, his Father willing, to make this last

167:4.2 And though he refused to stoop to the performance

167:4.2 he did ask the Father’s consent for the manifestation

167:4.3 for these reasons that J. tarried yet two full days in

167:4.3 in Philadelphia before he made ready to start for

167:4.4 all agreed that it was only folly to allow J. to go

167:4.6 J. meant that Lazarus had departed from this world,

167:5.1 J. was followed by a company of fifty friends and

167:5.1 he talked to his apostles and this group of followers

167:5.2 J. artfully avoided their efforts to bring him into

167:5.3 Though J. refused to be drawn into a controversy

167:5.3 he did proclaim a positive teaching of the highest

167:5.3 He exalted marriage as the most ideal and highest of

167:5.3 he intimated strong disapproval of the lax divorce

167:5.4 J. refused to make pronouncements dealing with

167:5.4 he did bitterly denounce these shameful floutings of

167:5.4 He never sanctioned any divorce practice which gave

167:5.5 J. did not offer new mandates governing marriage

167:5.5 he did urge the Jews to live up to their own laws and

167:5.5 He constantly appealed to the written Scriptures in

167:5.5 J. skillfully avoided clashing with his questioners

167:5.7 After J. had talked about marriage and divorce,

167:5.8 J. relieved the minds of the apostles of many worries

167:5.8 he did much to exalt their ideals of social union

167:6.1 long before J. and the apostles prepared to leave,

167:6.1 scores of mothers came to where J. lodged,

167:6.1 their hands, and desired that he bless the little ones.

167:6.1 J., hearing the tumult, came out and indignantly

167:6.3 J. talked to his apostles about the celestial mansions

167:6.4 not departed so far from that which he painstakingly

167:6.5 J. impressed upon his apostles the great value of

167:7.1 Nathaniel walked most of the way by the side of J.,

167:7.7 And he would have spoken further with Nathaniel

167:7.7 but he was interrupted by the approach of Martha,

168:0.1 Martha started out to meet J. as he came over the

168:0.2 When Martha and Mary sent word to J. concerning

168:0.2 hardly dared hope that J. would leave his work of

168:0.2 they thought he would just speak the curative words

168:0.3 The messenger insisted that he heard J. say, “. . .this

168:0.3 Neither could they understand why he sent no word

168:0.4 that all three had long been ardent followers of J.,

168:0.5 but Martha clung to the hope that J. would come,

168:0.5 this lad who brought tidings to Martha that J. and

168:0.6 Martha met J., she fell at his feet, exclaiming,

168:0.8 J. having inquired for Mary, Martha went at once

168:0.8 Mary rose up quickly and hastened out to meet J.,

168:0.9 secretly to inform Mary that he had asked for her.

168:0.9 Martha, while craving to see J., desired to avoid any

168:0.9 while Mary went to greet J., but in this she failed,

168:0.10 Martha led Mary to J., and when she saw him, she

168:0.10 when J. saw how they all grieved over the death of

168:0.11 the mourners saw that Mary had gone to greet J.,

168:0.12 The human mind of J. was mightily moved by the

168:0.12 J. indignantly resented the show of forced and

168:1.1 After J. had spent a few moments in comforting

168:1.2 It is difficult to explain to human minds why J. wept.

168:1.2 We are inclined to believe that J. wept because of a

168:1.3 He felt a genuine and sorrowful sympathy for Mary

168:1.3 he had a real and deep human affection for these

168:1.4 2. He was perturbed in his mind by the presence of

168:1.4 He always resented these outward exhibitions of

168:1.4 He knew the sisters loved their brother and had faith

168:1.4 explain why he groaned as they came near the tomb.

168:1.5 3. He truly hesitated about bringing Lazarus back to

168:1.5 J. regretted having to summon his friend back to

168:1.5 the bitter persecution which he well knew Lazarus

168:1.6 While the messenger went to J. on Sunday, telling

168:1.6 while J. sent word that it was “not to the death,”

168:1.6 at the same time he went in person up to Bethany

168:1.7 Did the divine mind of J. know, even before Lazarus

168:1.7 even before Lazarus died, that he would raise him

168:1.8 If he thought so much of this man, why did he tarry

168:1.8 If he is what they claim, why did he not save his dear

168:1.8 What is the good of healing strangers if he cannot

168:1.8 if he cannot save those whom he loves?”

168:1.8 and made light of the teachings and works of J..

168:1.10 by direction of the Personalized Adjuster of J.,

168:1.12 heard this command of J. directing that the stone

168:1.12 Martha thought maybe J. wanted only to take one

168:1.15 who declared he was “the resurrection and the life.”

168:2.2 And when he had prayed, he cried with a loud voice,

168:2.5 Lazarus greeted J. and the apostles and asked the

168:2.5 J. and the apostles drew to one side while Martha

168:2.6 the Personalized Adjuster of J., now chief of his kind

168:2.7 Lazarus over to J. and, with his sisters, knelt at the

168:2.7 J., taking Lazarus by the hand, lifted him up, saying:

168:2.10 Though many believed in J. as a result of this mighty

168:3.1 hasten their decision to destroy J. and stop his work.

168:3.2 question, “What shall we do with J. of Nazareth?”

168:3.2 proclaiming that he was a menace to all Israel and

168:3.3 Jewish leaders decreed that J. be apprehended and

168:3.3 even gone so far as to declare he should die, but this

168:3.3 they entertained friendly feelings toward J..

168:3.3 to try and to condemn J. with a solidarity

168:3.4 and all other wonders worked by J. to the power of

168:3.4 the prince of devils, with whom J. was declared to

168:3.5 persuaded that, if he were not immediately stopped,

168:3.7 Although J. had received warning of the doings of

168:3.7 he was not in the least perturbed and continued

168:3.7 J. and the apostles assembled, by prearrangement,

168:4.1 the apostles asked J. many questions, all of which

168:4.1 J. therefore embraced the opportunity to say many

168:4.1 he thought would prepare them for the trying days

168:4.5 When J. said that Lazarus’s sickness was really not

168:5.1 until the week of the crucifixion of J., when he

168:5.1 a stop to the further spread of the teachings of J.,

168:5.1 judged that it would be useless to put J. to death if

168:5.1 bear testimony to the fact that J. had raised him

169:0.1 J. and the ten apostles arrived at the Pella camp.

169:0.1 he was very active in teaching the multitude and

169:0.1 He preached every afternoon to the crowds and each

169:0.2 that J. planned to teach this one short week at Pella

169:1.1 J. talked to the multitude about the “Grace of

169:1.1 he retold the story of the lost sheep and the lost coin

169:1.14 the most effective of all the parables which J. ever

169:1.15 J. was very partial to telling these three stories at

169:1.15 He presented the story of the lost sheep to show that

169:1.15 He then would recite the story of the coin lost in the

169:1.15 And then he would launch forth into the telling of

169:1.16 J. told and retold this story of the prodigal son.

169:2.8 These unfriendly hearers sought to engage J. in

169:2.8 argumentation, but he refused to debate with his

169:2.8 they began to dispute with each other, J. withdrew,

169:3.3 asked J. questions about the parable of Dives and

169:3.3 he never consented to make comment thereon.

169:4.1 J always had trouble trying to explain to the apostles

169:4.1 At the time J. lived on earth and taught in the flesh,

169:4.1 Never did J. refer to his Father as a king.

169:4.1 he always referred to himself as the Son of Man

169:4.1 He depicted all his followers as servants of mankind

169:4.2 J. never gave his apostles a systematic lesson

169:4.2 He never asked men to believe in his Father;

169:4.2 he took it for granted they did.

169:4.2 J. never belittled himself by offering arguments in

169:4.2 in the declaration that he and the Father are one;

169:4.2 He never made other pronouncements about his

169:4.3 You learn about God from J. by observing the

169:4.3 of the finite experience of the human life of J. of

169:4.4 J. well knew that God can be known only by the

169:4.4 J. taught his apostles that, while they never could

169:4.4 You can know God, not by understanding what J.

169:4.4 what J. said, but by knowing what J. was.

169:4.4 J. was a revelation of God.

169:4.5 J. referred to Deity by two names: God and Father.

169:4.6 J. never called the Father a king, and he very much

169:4.6 he regretted that the Jewish hope for a restored

169:4.6 J. never referred to Deity in any manner other than

169:4.7 J. employed the word God to designate the idea of

169:4.8 J. accepted the concept of Elohim and called this

169:4.8 he introduced the idea of the fatherhood of God and

169:4.8 He exalted the Yahweh concept of a deified racial

169:4.8 And he further taught that this God of universes and

169:4.9 J. never claimed to be the manifestation of Elohim

169:4.9 He never declared that he was a revelation of Elohim

169:4.9 He never taught that he who had seen him had seen

169:4.9 But he did proclaim himself as the revelation of the

169:4.9 he did say that whoso had seen him had seen the

169:4.9 As the divine Son he claimed to represent only the

169:4.10 He was, indeed, the Son of even the Elohim God;

169:4.10 he chose to limit his life revelation to the portrayal of

169:4.10 portraiture in the life of his incarnated Son, J. of

169:4.11 J. revealed the true nature of the heavenly Father in

169:4.11 the Father in his earth life, he taught little about him.

169:4.11 he taught only two things: God in himself is spirit,

169:4.11 J. made the final pronouncement of his relationship

169:4.12 But mark you! never did J. say, “Whoso has heard

169:4.12 to see J. is an experience that in itself is a revelation

169:4.13 J. is the spiritual lens in human likeness which

169:4.13 He is your elder brother who, in the flesh, makes

170:0.1 March 11, J. preached his last sermon at Pella.

170:0.1 He was aware of the confusion which existed in the

170:0.1 which he used as interchangeable designations of

170:0.1 Therefore J. did not at first openly oppose this

170:0.2 by adding numerous statements made by J. on

170:1.4 J. and the apostles taught both of these concepts.

170:1.7 Just before the advent of J. on earth, the Jews

170:1.7 J. elected to appropriate the most vital heritage of

170:1.11 3. The personal-experience concept of J.

170:1.13 that J. may have presented numerous concepts of the

170:1.13 but to his apostles he always taught the kingdom as

170:1.15 the various progressive phases of its recasting by J.

170:2.1 The acceptance of such a teaching, J. declared,

170:2.7 6. J. taught that eternal realities were the result of

170:2.9 expanded idea of the kingdom which was taught by J

170:2.10 was colored by the belief that J. was then absent

170:2.10 that he would soon return to establish the kingdom

170:2.10 just such an idea as they held while he was with

170:2.10 But J. did not connect the establishment of the

170:2.12 J. desired to substitute for the idea of the kingdom

170:2.16 J. never tired of telling them that the kingdom was

170:2.20 J. taught that, by faith, the believer enters the

170:2.20 taught that two things are essential to faith-entrance

170:2.23 J. taught that sin is not the child of a defective nature

170:2.23 Regarding sin, he taught that God has forgiven;

170:2.24 J. often spoke of it as the “kingdom of life.”

170:2.24 He frequently referred to “the kingdom of God

170:2.24 He once spoke of such an experience as “family

170:2.24 J. sought to substitute many terms for the kingdom

170:2.24 Among others, he used: the family of God,

170:2.25 But he could not escape the use of the kingdom idea.

170:3.1 J. was always trying to impress upon his apostles

170:3.2 J. taught that faith, simple childlike belief, is the key

170:3.2 he also taught that, having entered the door, there

170:3.8 J. taught a living religion that impelled its believers

170:3.8 But J. did not put ethics in the place of religion.

170:3.8 He taught religion as a cause and ethics as a result.

170:3.9 J. was never concerned with morals or ethics as

170:3.9 He was wholly concerned with that inward and

170:3.9 He taught that the religion of the kingdom is a

170:3.10 J. never failed to exalt the sacredness of the

170:3.10 But he recognized that man develops his character

170:3.11 J. struck the deathblow of the old society in that

170:3.11 he ushered in the new dispensation of true social

170:4.1 J. never gave a precise definition of the kingdom.

170:4.1 At one time he would discourse on one phase of

170:4.1 at another time he would discuss a different aspect

170:4.1 J. noted no less than five phases, or epochs, of the

170:4.14 The bestowal of J. as an incarnated Son was just

170:4.15 J. referred one phase of the kingdom to the future

170:4.15 though he did likewise most certainly, on several

170:4.15 he never positively linked these two ideas together.

170:4.15 He promised a new revelation of the kingdom on

170:4.15 he promised sometime to come back to this world

170:4.15 but he did not say that these two events were

170:5.1 Having summarized the teachings of J. about the

170:5.3 marked the transplantation of the teachings of J.

170:5.3 activities of Paul and based on the teachings of J. as

170:5.4 The ideas and ideals of J., embodied in the gospel of

170:5.5 They believed that J. would very soon return to

170:5.6 led to the general belief that J. was the Redeemer

170:5.7 it almost completely supplanted the J. concept of the

170:5.7 substitute for the kingdom which J. had proclaimed.

170:5.9 into the mystic conception of the person of J. as the

170:5.10 the spiritual concept of the real kingdom as J. taught

170:5.11 To J. the kingdom was the sum of those individuals

170:5.13 J. foresaw that a social organization, or church,

170:5.13 is why he never opposed the apostles’ practicing the

170:5.13 He taught that the truth-loving soul, the one who

170:5.17 The concept of J. is still alive in the advanced

170:5.17 Christian church is the socialized shadow of what J.

170:5.18 can be exercised and experienced only between J.

170:5.19 a return to the high spiritual concept of J., who

170:5.19 must come a revival of the actual teachings of J.,

170:5.19 the teaching of this story about J. supplanted the

170:5.19 that teaching in which J. had blended man’s

170:5.20 someday the true believers in J. will not be thus

170:5.21 Mistake not! there is in the teachings of J. an eternal

170:5.21 as J. conceived it has to a large extent failed on earth

171:0.1 J. announced that on the following day he and the

171:0.1 he and the apostles would depart for the Passover at

171:0.2 announcement that he was going to the Passover set

171:0.2 thinking that he was going up to Jerusalem to

171:0.2 No matter what J. said about the nonmaterial

171:0.2 he could not wholly remove from the minds of his

171:0.3 What J. said in his Sabbath sermon only tended to

171:0.4 the mother of James and John Zebedee came to J.

171:0.4 sought to have J. promise in advance to grant

171:0.7 for places on the right hand and on the left hand of J.

171:0.7 remembered the foolish request she had made of J.

171:1.1 J. and his twelve apostles took leave of the Pella

171:1.4 teachers’ camp, and who went south with J. and

171:1.5 While awaiting J. and the apostles, David stopped

171:1.6 Pauline version of the teachings of J. and about J.

171:1.6 uncompromising emissaries of the teachings of J.

171:2.1 When J. and the company of almost one thousand

171:2.1 his disciples began to realize that he was not going

171:2.1 J. climbed upon a huge stone and delivered that

171:2.6 J., leading the twelve, started on the way to Heshbon

171:3.1 J. and the twelve, followed by a crowd of several

171:3.2 J. met Abner at Heshbon, and Andrew directed

171:3.2 J. advised that the messengers should go forward

171:3.2 He counseled Abner to permit the women’s corps,

171:3.2 was the last time Abner ever saw J. in the flesh.

171:3.3 by the time J. started for the Passover, the number of

171:3.4 The apostles understood that J. was going to

171:3.4 to all Israel that he had been condemned to die and

171:3.4 were not so alarmed as they had been when he

171:3.4 that he was going to Bethany to see Lazarus.

171:3.4 They had reached the conclusion that J. might,

171:3.5 inner disciples did not believe it possible for J. to die;

171:3.5 believing that he was “the resurrection and the life,”

171:4.1 J. and his followers encamped at Livias on their way

171:4.2 J. knew about the swords and which of his apostles

171:4.2 he never disclosed to them that he knew such things.

171:4.4 friendly Pharisees came to J. and said: “Flee in haste

171:4.5 and knowing the Sanhedrin had dared to condemn J.

171:4.5 Herod made up his mind either to kill J. or to drive

171:4.6 When J. heard what the Pharisees had to say, he

171:4.7 And when he had spoken, he turned to those around

171:4.8 believers who this day followed J. into Jericho.

171:4.8 When J. spoke of “rising on the third day,” they

171:4.8 When J. spoke of “rising,” they thought he

171:4.9 J. had been accepted by believers as the Messiah,

171:4.9 J. was to accomplish many things by his death which

171:5.1 J. and his apostles, at the head of a band of about

171:5.1 This blind beggar had heard much about J. and

171:5.1 last visit to Jericho until he had gone on to Bethany.

171:5.1 resolved that he would never again allow J. to visit

171:5.2 And one of the beggars replied, “J. of Nazareth is

171:5.2 When Bartimeus heard that J. was near, he lifted

171:5.2 began to cry aloud, “J., J., have mercy upon me!”

171:5.2 some of those near to J. went over and rebuked

171:5.3 When J. heard the blind man crying out, he stood

171:5.3 And when he saw him, he said to his friends, “Bring

171:5.3 while those near by guided him to J..

171:5.3 And when J. heard this request and saw his faith, he

171:5.3 and he remained near J., glorifying God, until the

171:6.1 As J. passed by the customs house, Zaccheus the

171:6.1 happened to be present, and he desired to see J..

171:6.1 resolved that he would see what sort of a man J. was

171:6.1 thinking that J. might be going right on through the

171:6.1 And he was not disappointed, for, as J. passed by,

171:6.1 he stopped and, looking up at Zaccheus, said:

171:6.1 going up to J., Zaccheus expressed great joy that

171:6.2 surprised that J. would consent to abide with the

171:6.2 when J. heard this, he looked down at Zaccheus

171:6.2 and before he goes in, I tell you that I am going to

171:7.0 7. “AS JESUS PASSED BY”

171:7.1 J. spread good cheer everywhere he went.

171:7.1 He was full of grace and truth.

171:7.3 J. really understood men; therefore could he

171:7.3 therefore could he manifest genuine sympathy and

171:7.3 But he seldom indulged in pity.

171:7.3 he was able to minister to distressed souls without

171:7.4 J. could help men so much because he loved them so

171:7.4 He truly loved each man, each woman,and each child

171:7.4 He could be such a true friend because of his

171:7.4 he knew so fully what was in the heart and the mind

171:7.4 He was an interested and keen observer.

171:7.4 He was an expert in the comprehension of human

171:7.5 J. was never in a hurry.

171:7.5 He had time to comfort his fellow men “as he passed

171:7.5 And he always made his friends feel at ease.

171:7.5 He was a charming listener.

171:7.5 He never engaged in the meddlesome probing of the

171:7.5 As he comforted hungry minds and ministered to

171:7.5 because they saw he had so much faith in them.

171:7.6 He never seemed to be curious about people,

171:7.6 he never manifested a desire to direct, manage, or

171:7.6 He inspired profound self-confidence and robust

171:7.6 When he smiled on a man, that mortal experienced

171:7.7 J. loved men so much and so wisely that he never

171:7.7 he never hesitated to be severe with them when the

171:7.7 He frequently set out to help a person by asking for

171:7.7 In this way he elicited interest, appealed to the better

171:7.8 not only because people had faith in J., but also

171:7.8 but also because J. had so much faith in them.

171:7.9 Most of the really important things which J. said

171:7.9 seemed to happen casually, “as he passed by.”

171:8.1 while J. taught Zaccheus and his family the gospel of

171:8.1 passed on to Jerusalem, not knowing that J. and the

171:8.14 J., standing there before the apostles in the shade of

171:8.15 so J. and his apostles resumed this, the Master’s last

172:0.1 J. and the apostles arrived at Bethany shortly after

172:0.1 J. was informed that arrangements had been made

172:0.2 J. received many visitors, and the common folks of

172:0.2 many thought J. was now going into Jerusalem,

172:0.3 The chief priests were informed that J. lodged at

172:0.3 J. knew about all this, but he was majestically calm;

172:0.3 were astounded that he should be so unconcerned

172:0.3 came out from Jerusalem to see J. and Lazarus,

172:0.3 and Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

172:1.1 “What do you think? will J. come up to the feast?”

172:1.1 when the people heard that J. was at Bethany,

172:1.1 was becoming a big problem to the enemies of J..

172:1.2 in celebrating the arrival of J. by a public banquet

172:1.2 This supper was in honor of both J. and Lazarus;

172:1.2 feared to apprehend J. in the midst of his friends.

172:1.3 J. talked with Simon about Joshua of old, whose

172:1.3 talked about Joshua of old, whose namesake he was,

172:1.4 J. was exceptionally cheerful and had been playing

172:1.5 going up to where J. reclined as the guest of honor

172:1.7 But Mary loved J.; she had provided this ointment

172:1.7 she believed his words when he forewarned them

172:1.9 the chief priests heard of this dinner in Bethany for J.

172:1.9 useless to put J. to death if they permitted Lazarus

172:1.9 Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, to live.

172:2.1 J. knew that many of his apostles and immediate

172:2.1 carried swords, but he made no reference to this fact

172:2.4 J. held converse with Lazarus and instructed him to

172:3.1 when J. made ready to start for Jerusalem.

172:3.1 He had feelings of profound affection for Bethany

172:3.1 that he chose to perform the mightiest work of his

172:3.1 He did not raise Lazarus that the villagers might

172:3.2 J. had thought about his entry into Jerusalem.

172:3.2 he had always endeavored to suppress all public

172:3.2 he was nearing the end of his career in the flesh, his

172:3.2 just as might occur if he elected to make a formal

172:3.3 J. did not decide to make this public entrance into

172:3.3 Neither did he do it altogether to satisfy the human

172:3.3 J. entertained none of the illusions of a fantastic

172:3.3 he knew what was to be the outcome of this visit.

172:3.4 J. thought over all of the many contradictory

172:3.4 J. thought might consistently be taken as a guide

172:3.5 J. would not enter Jerusalem as a man on horseback,

172:3.5 he was willing to enter peacefully and with good will

172:3.6 J. had long tried by direct teaching to impress upon

172:3.6 but he had not succeeded in this effort.

172:3.6 what he had failed to do by plain and personal

172:3.6 he would attempt to accomplish by a symbolic

172:3.6 J. called Peter and John, and after directing them

172:3.6 when Peter answered him as J. had directed, the

172:3.6 said: “If your Master is J., let him have the colt.”

172:3.7 several hundred pilgrims had gathered around J.

172:3.7 J. was making a triumphal entry into the city.

172:3.7 met J. and the crowd going into the city just after

172:3.10 J. was lighthearted and cheerful as they moved

172:3.10 cheerful as they moved along until he came to the

172:3.12 visitors, who heard much of J., and who believed in

172:3.13 alongside J. and said: “Teacher, you should rebuke

172:3.15 were equally as willing quickly to reject J. later on

172:3.15 when they realized that J. was not going to

172:3.16 “This is the prophet of Galilee, J. of Nazareth.”

172:4.1 returned the donkey to its owner, J. and the ten

172:4.1 No attempt was made to molest J. as the

172:4.1 the reasons J. had for allowing the multitude thus

172:4.2 J. and his immediate followers were left alone.

172:4.2 Never, in their years of association with J., had

172:4.3 after J. had surveyed these familiar scenes once more

172:4.3 J., with Peter and John, went to the home of Simon,

172:5.1 as they returned to Bethany, J. walked in front of the

172:5.1 they did not keep armed watch over J. at Simon’s

172:5.3 Peter was terribly disappointed that J. did not

172:5.3 Peter could not understand why J. did not speak

172:5.4 disappointment when J. climbed off the donkey

172:5.5 John came somewhere near understanding why J.

172:5.5 astride the colt, he recalled hearing J. onetime

172:5.6 he was perturbed by the thought that J. might

172:5.6 that the conduct of J. in turning leisurely away

172:5.6 but he expressed his doubts to no one; he loved J.

172:5.7 without a demonstrative entry into Jerusalem J.

172:5.7 cast into prison the moment he presumed to enter

172:5.8 one of the Pharisees mocked J., saying, “Look,

172:5.9 Thomas had never seen J. do anything like this

172:5.10 national rule of the Jews, with J. on the throne of

172:5.12 J. seemed to him more to resemble a clown than a

172:5.13 in his final determination to forsake J. and his

173:0.1 J. and the apostles assembled at the home of Simon

173:0.2 As this group journeyed down Mount Olivet, J. led

173:0.2 of Judas was: What shall I do? Shall I go on with J.

173:0.3 They went at once to the large court where J. taught

173:0.3 J. mounted one of the teaching platforms and began

173:1.3 By the times of J. the priests had also been

173:1.5 money-changers, merchandisers, and cattle sellers, J.

173:1.5 He was not alone in resenting this profanation of the

173:1.6 As J. was about to begin his address, two things

173:1.6 As J. paused, silently but thoughtfully contemplating

173:1.6 he beheld a simple-minded Galilean, a man he had

173:1.6 uprisings of indignant emotion in the soul of J..

173:1.7 J. stepped down from the teaching platform and,

173:1.7 he strode majestically before the wondering gaze of

173:1.7 J., returning to the speaker’s stand, spoke to the

173:1.8 But before he could utter other words, the great

173:1.8 and one of them said to J., “Do you not hear what

173:1.8 all the rest of that day while J. taught, guards set

173:1.10 This surprising act of J. was beyond the

173:1.11 This episode also demonstrates that J. did not look

173:2.1 that they refrained from placing J. under arrest.

173:2.1 the scribes were unwilling to arrest J. in public for

173:2.2 was unanimously agreed that J. must be destroyed

173:2.2 J. had just begun his discourse on “The Liberty of

173:2.2 these elders of Israel made their way up near J. and,

173:2.3 manner which had been characteristic of J.,

173:2.4 came before J. at this afternoon hour challenging

173:2.4 J. well knew that these very men had long publicly

173:2.5 They had thought to embarrass J. before the

173:2.5 to J., saying: “Concerning the baptism of John, we

173:2.5 were compelled to come before J. and the people

173:2.5 And when they had spoken, J., looking down upon

173:2.6 J. never intended to appeal to John for his authority;

173:2.7 adversaries, J. did not mean to dodge the question.

173:2.7 it may seem that he was guilty of a masterly evasion,

173:2.7 J. was never disposed to take unfair advantage of

173:2.7 In this apparent evasion he really supplied all his

173:2.7 They had asserted that he performed by authority of

173:2.7 J. had repeatedly asserted that all his teaching and

173:2.7 seeking to corner him into admitting that he was an

173:2.7 since he had never been sanctioned by the Sanhedrin

173:2.7 In answering them as he did, while not claiming

173:2.7 he so satisfied the people with the inference that the

173:2.8 the Pharisees in perfecting the plan to destroy J..

173:3.1 As the caviling Pharisees stood in silence before J.

173:3.3 J. did not despise the Pharisees and Sadducees

173:3.3 It was their systems of teaching which he sought to

173:3.3 He was hostile to no man, but here was occurring

173:4.1 the scribes who had sought to entangle J. with their

173:4.3 when they heard this parable and the question J.

173:4.3 to the impending rejection of J. and the gospel of

173:4.4 J. saw a group of the Sadducees and Pharisees

173:4.4 he paused for a moment until they drew near him,

173:4.5 they understood that J. referred to themselves and

173:5.1 J. addressed himself again to the assembled crowd

173:5.4 J. was about to dismiss the multitude when a

173:5.5 indicated that he desired to leave the temple and to

173:5.5 On the way up Olivet J. instructed Andrew, Philip,

174:0.1 J. met the apostles, the women’s corps, and some

174:0.1 At this meeting he said farewell to Lazarus, giving

174:0.1 J. also said good-bye to the aged Simon, and gave

174:0.1 to the women’s corps, as he never again formally

174:0.2 This morning he greeted each of the twelve with a

174:0.3 And when he had concluded these greetings,

174:0.3 he departed for Jerusalem with Andrew, Peter, James

174:0.3 down the slope of Olivet J. paused and visited with

174:1.1 They had both agreed to lay the matter before J.,

174:2.1 it would be dangerous to arrest J. in public because

174:2.1 before he should be arrested and brought to trial.

174:2.1 all united in this effort to discredit J. in the eyes of

174:2.2 J. arrived in the temple court and began to teach,

174:2.2 he had uttered but few words when a group of the

174:2.2 addressed J.: “Master, we know you are a righteous

174:2.2 J., perceiving their hypocrisy and craftiness, said to

174:2.3 When he had thus answered these young scribes and

174:2.4 if he would dare to advise against the payment of

174:2.4 if he should advise the payment of tribute in so many

174:2.5 In all this the enemies of J. were defeated since it

174:2.5 In this manner J. avoided their trap. To have

174:2.5 J. was never evasive, but he was always wise in his

174:3.1 Before J. could get started with his teaching,

174:3.2 J. knew that these Sadducees were not sincere in

174:3.2 J. condescended to reply to their mischievous

174:3.3 When J. had finished answering these questions,

174:3.4 J. appealed only to Moses in his encounter with

174:3.4 The point J. wished to emphasize was: That the

174:3.5 The Sadducees had thought to subject J. to the

174:4.1 Sadducees had been instructed to ask J. entangling

174:4.1 hoping thereby to discredit J. before the people

174:4.2 signaling to J., said: “Master, I am a lawyer, and I

174:4.3 When the lawyer perceived that J. had answered

174:4.3 but that he had also answered wisely in the sight of

174:4.4 J. spoke the truth when he referred to this lawyer as

174:4.6 J. did not resume his teaching but was content to ask

174:4.6 since J. knew that there had been much debate,

174:4.6 as to whether or not he was the son of David, he

174:4.6 he asked this further question: “If the Deliverer is the

174:4.6 They never answered this question which J. put to

174:5.1 so we come to you, Sir, with the request to see J.,

174:5.1 since J. had so explicitly charged all of the twelve

174:5.1 they supposed that he went in search of J., but in

174:5.2 the Greeks to the home of Joseph, where J. received

174:5.2 he spoke to his apostles and a number of leading

174:5.6 As J. stood before them at this time, he perceived

174:5.6 he perceived the end of one dispensation and the

174:5.10 When J. had thus spoken, the Personalized Adj. of

174:5.10 as he paused noticeably, this now mighty spirit of the

174:5.10 spirit of the Father’s representation spoke to J. of

174:5.14 J. led the way over the narrow streets of Jerusalem

175:0.1 J., accompanied by eleven apostles, Joseph of

175:0.1 various groups had an opportunity to question J.;

175:0.2 had not dared again to enter the temple since J.

175:0.2 J. tenderly looked down upon this audience which

175:2.1 Jewish nation onetime rejected the teachings of J.

175:2.1 unworthy, and bigoted professed followers of J. of

175:2.2 whose very ancestors, in the times of J., heartily

175:2.2 followers of J. indulge themselves in persecuting,

175:2.3 become necessary, in this recital of the life of J., to

175:2.3 those who follow the teachings of J., must cease

175:2.3 who is guilty of the rejection and crucifixion of J..

175:3.1 Jewish nation informally decreed the death of J..

175:3.1 voted to impose the death sentence upon both J. and

175:3.3 with instructions that he must not be apprehended in

175:3.3 They were told to plan to take him in secret

175:3.3 Understanding that he might not return that day to

175:4.1 most fitting manner of dissociating himself from J.

175:4.2 The multitude who heard J. swing from his merciful

175:4.2 while the Sanhedrin sat in death judgment upon J.,

175:4.2 of just one question: “What will they do with J.?”

175:4.4 desirous of making away with J. for the following

175:4.8 different motives for wanting to see J. put to death.

175:4.8 They feared him because:

175:4.9 1. He was arrayed in telling opposition to their hold

175:4.10 2. They held that J. was a lawbreaker; that he had

175:4.10 that he had shown utter disregard for the Sabbath

175:4.11 3. They charged him with blasphemy because he

175:4.12 bitter denunciation which he had this day delivered

175:4.13 Sanhedrin, having formally decreed the death of J.

175:4.13 formulating the charges on which J. should be

175:4.14 actually proposed to dispose of J. by assassination,

176:0.1 as J. and the apostles passed out of the temple on

176:0.2 J. and his associates were minded to climb up the

176:0.2 there, under the mellow light of the full moon, J.

176:1.2 J. paused while he looked down upon the city.

176:1.3 J. did not want its teachers and preachers to perish

176:1.3 wherefore did he give instructions to his followers.

176:1.3 J. was much concerned lest some of his disciples

176:1.7 When J. heard this, he was thoughtful for some time

176:2.1 J. had made statements which led his hearers to

176:2.1 while he intended presently to leave this world, he

176:2.1 he would most certainly return to consummate the

176:2.1 As the conviction grew on his followers that he

176:2.1 after he had departed from this world, it was only

176:2.9 the leading disciples welcomed J. to the new camp

176:3.7 generations of the professed followers of J. to say,

176:4.1 It is only natural to believe that J., now sovereign

176:4.1 to the world whereon he lived such a unique life and

176:4.2 J. did, on numerous occasions and to many

176:4.3 J. promised to do two things after he ascended to

176:4.3 He promised, first, to send into the world, and in his

176:4.3 and this he did on the day of Pentecost.

176:4.3 Second, he most certainly promised his followers

176:4.3 he would sometime personally return to this world.

176:4.3 But he did not say how, where, or when he would

176:4.3 he did not say how, where, or when he would revisit

176:4.3 On one occasion he intimated that, whereas the eye

176:4.3 whereas the eye of the flesh had beheld him when he

176:4.3 he would be discerned only by the eye of spiritual

176:4.4 are inclined to believe that J. will return to Urantia

176:4.4 that he who carries among his universe titles that of

176:4.7 which leads directly to the presence of this same J.,

176:4.7 it is of no serious concern whether we go to him or

176:4.7 or whether he should chance first to come to us.

176:4.7 earth as he stands ready to welcome you in heaven.

176:4.7 when, or in what connection he is destined to appear

177:0.1 it was the custom of J. and his apostles to rest from

177:0.3 When J. made ready to go into the hills alone,

177:0.3 J. looked over the three well-armed and stalwart

177:0.4 but as J. started off alone, John Mark came forward

177:0.4 food and water and suggested that, if he intended to

177:0.4 to be away all day, he might find himself hungry.

177:1.1 As J. was about to take the lunch basket from John’s

177:1.2 There they stood, John and J. holding the basket.

177:1.3 J. did not return to the camp that evening until

177:1.4 J. visited with John, talking freely about the affairs

177:1.4 John told J. how much he regretted that he had not

177:1.4 J. warned the lad not to become discouraged by

177:1.5 was thrilled by the memory of this day with J. in the

177:1.5 transpired on this day which he spent with J. in the

177:1.6 lad in hiding near by; he slept only when J. slept.

177:2.1 visiting with John Mark, J. spent considerable time

177:2.1 J. said many things which helped John better to

177:2.5 J. and John continued this discussion of home life.

177:3.1 they became very desirous of seeing J. return.

177:3.3 that the chief priests and rulers were going to kill J.

177:3.3 convinced that J. would neither exert his divine

177:3.3 to Jerusalem and to bring Mary the mother of J.

177:3.5 the Greeks who had met with J. and the twelve at

177:3.6 J. visited with the Greeks, and had it not been that

177:3.6 he would have ordained these twenty Greeks, even

177:3.7 and elders were amazed that J. did not return to

177:3.7 True, the day before, when he left the temple, he had

177:3.7 they could not understand why he would be willing

177:3.7 forgo the great advantage which he had built up in

177:3.7 While they feared he would stir up a tumult among

177:3.7 and perfected their plans for destroying J..

177:3.8 kept a well-guarded secret by all who knew that J.

177:4.1 after J. and John Mark left the camp, Judas

177:4.1 of the charges which should be lodged against J.

177:4.2 while J. was a well-meaning dreamer and idealist,

177:4.2 he was not the expected deliverer of Israel.

177:4.3 fully convinced that J. would not exert his power

177:4.3 convinced J. would allow himself to be destroyed

177:4.3 that J., while he was a well-meaning fanatic, was

177:4.3 that he had always appeared to be a strange and

177:4.4 resentful that J. had never assigned him a position

177:4.4 he was concerned with any thought of betraying J.

177:4.4 home of Caiaphas to arrange for the betrayal of J..

177:4.5 he arrived at the final decision to abandon J. and

177:4.5 when he first identified himself with J. and the

177:4.5 they learned to admire truth and to love J., at least

177:4.6 to be misled by the subtle teaching of J., had

177:4.6 it would be best for the peace of Israel if J. should

177:4.6 that he could be taken into custody quietly, thus

177:4.8 to the manner in which J. was to be apprehended.

177:4.8 Judas knew that J. was then absent from the camp

177:4.8 and had no idea when he would return that evening,

177:4.8 and so they agreed among themselves to arrest J.

177:4.9 Judas had enlisted with J. hoping some day to

177:4.9 which he was certain would destroy J. and all that

177:4.9 Judas’ betrayal of J. was the cowardly act of a

177:4.10 J. loved and trusted Judas even as he loved and

177:4.10 but with their hearts they loved J. and were doing

177:4.10 to learn to love the truths which he taught them.

177:4.11 Judas had been a subconscious critic of J. ever since

177:4.11 Judas always resented the fact that J. did not save

177:4.11 disciple of John before he became a follower of J..

177:4.11 insinuations and subtle ridicule of the enemies of J.

177:4.11 Judas allowed his hopes to soar high and J. would

177:4.11 he always inclined to assign to J. cowardice as the

177:4.12 They would not have to arrest J. in public,

177:4.12 Judas as a traitorous ally insured that J. would not

177:5.1 J. made careful inquiry about the families of all of

177:5.2 He recounted their experiences in Galilee when

177:5.3 indicated clearly that J. had told Mark not to talk.

177:5.6 when J., knowing this would be the last night he

177:5.6 said, as he dispersed them for the night: “Go to your

178:0.1 J. planned to spend this Thursday, his last free day

178:0.1 Although J. delivered other discourses to the

178:0.1 some of them thought J. had sent him into the city

178:0.1 J. led the twelve into Jerusalem to partake of the

178:1.1 J. talked to about fifty of his trusted followers for

178:1.18 When J. had concluded his teaching, it was almost

178:2.2 determination of the Jewish rulers to exterminate J.

178:2.3 lead J. aside and, making bold, asked him whether

178:2.3 asked him whether he knew—but David never got

178:2.4 word that Abner had heard of the plot to kill J. and

178:2.9 J. wanted to be sure he would have this one last

178:2.9 he made this secret arrangement with John Mark.

178:2.9 when he arrived there in company with J. and the

178:2.12 the three apostles returned and informed J. that

178:3.1 J. and the twelve walked over the western brow of

178:3.1 As they drew near the place where J. had tarried

178:3.1 since J. did not wish to pass through the city until

179:0.3 The apostles knew J. had celebrated other Passovers

179:0.3 they knew that he did not personally participate in

179:0.3 He had many times partaken of the paschal lamb

179:0.3 always, when he was the host, no lamb was served.

179:0.4 the apostles went to the upper chamber while J.

179:1.4 the unseemly pride, but with the hope that J.,

179:1.6 This supper is their last rendezvous with J.,

179:2.1 J. looked them all over and, relieving the tension

179:2.1 when I have finished that for which he sent me into

179:2.2 they brought the cup to J., who, when he had

179:2.2 hand of Thaddeus, held it while he offered thanks.

179:2.2 And when he had finished offering thanks, he said:

179:2.3 J. began thus to talk to his apostles because he knew

179:2.3 He understood that the time had come when he was

179:3.2 J. said nothing; it was not necessary that he speak.

179:3.2 to believe in the divinity of J. and to make full and

179:3.2 Since Peter so revered and honored J. in his heart,

179:3.3 Peter’s firm declaration of refusal to allow J. thus to

179:3.4 which proved that J. would never qualify as Israel’s

179:3.5 coupled with the fact that J. continued kneeling

179:3.5 reconciled to the thought of allowing J. to wash

179:3.7 When J. had finished washing the feet of the twelve,

179:3.7 he donned his cloak, returned to his place as host,

179:3.10 When J. had finished speaking, the Alpheus twins

179:4.3 J. had spoken, they all began again to ask, “Is it I?”

179:4.3 J., dipping the bread in the dish of herbs, handed it

179:4.3 But the others did not hear J. speak to Judas.

179:4.5 J. brought their whisperings to an end by saying:

179:4.6 When J. had thus spoken, leaning over toward Judas

179:4.6 the other apostles saw Judas hasten off after J. had

179:4.7 J. knew that nothing could be done to keep Judas

179:4.7 He started with twelve—now he had eleven.

179:4.7 He chose six of these apostles, and though Judas was

179:5.1 As they brought J. the third cup of wine, the “cup of

179:5.4 J. took great pains to suggest his meanings rather

179:5.4 neither did he desire to limit the believer’s spiritual

179:5.4 He rather sought to set man’s reborn soul free upon

180:0.1 the apostles thought J. intended to return to camp,

180:0.1 camp, but he indicated that they should sit down.

180:0.4 apostles thought that J. intended to return to camp,

180:1.6 It is loyalty, not sacrifice, that J. demands.

180:2.4 such a will-union is effected by and through J.

180:2.5 should love one another, even as J. has loved us.

180:2.7 J. had great difficulty in leading even his apostles to

180:3.6 When J. sat down, Thomas arose and said: “Master,

180:5.1 The new helper which J. promised to send into the

180:5.8 only when they love their fellows as J. loved us all

180:6.9 And J. saw that they did not even yet comprehend

180:6.9 The more fully they believed in J. as the Messiah,

181:0.1 J. visited informally with them and recounted

181:0.1 indicated J. was just going away for a brief visit

181:0.1 promise that, after a little while, he would again be

181:0.1 after which he would return to establish the kingdom

181:1.8 The peace of J. is the joy and satisfaction of a

181:1.8 he has even been falsely called the “Man of sorrows,

181:1.8 he enjoyed the comfort of that confidence which

181:1.8 full assurance that he was achieving the Father’s will

181:1.9 J. was determined, persistent, and devoted to the

181:1.9 but he was not an unfeeling and calloused stoic;

181:1.9 he ever sought for the cheerful aspects of his life

181:2.6 treasurer had gone out to betray his Master, as J.

181:2.10 but J. raised his hand and, stopping Simon, went on

181:2.8 J. had hardly ceased speaking to Simon Zelotes

181:2.12 he stepped over to Matthew Levi and said: “No

182:0.1 made it his business to keep a watchful eye on J..

182:0.2 As J. and the eleven made their way back to camp,

182:1.2 When J. had thus spoken, he led the way a short

182:1.2 he bade them kneel on a large flat rock in a circle

182:1.2 as he stood there in the midst of them glorified in the

182:1.2 he lifted up his eyes toward heaven and prayed:

182:1.7 The eleven remained kneeling in this circle about J.

182:1.8 J. prayed for unity among his followers, but he did

182:1.8 among his followers, but he did not desire uniformity

182:1.9 But when J. had finished his earth life, this name

182:1.26 Thus did J. enlarge the living revelation of the name

182:2.1 David Zebedee and John Mark took J. to one side

182:2.2 The cheerful attitude of J. was waning.

182:2.2 As the hour passed, he grew more serious, even

182:2.6 Then J. turned to the chief of the visiting Greeks

182:2.8 J. did say this to Andrew as he left his side that night

182:2.9 John Mark understood that the enemies of J. were

182:2.10 he bade farewell to J., saying: “Master, I have had

182:2.11 David said to J.: “You know, Master, I sent for your

182:2.12 when John Mark observed J. withdraw, with Peter

182:2.12 Judas and the armed guards appeared to arrest J..

182:2.13 under the leadership of the betrayer, to arrest J..

182:3.1 J., taking Peter, James, and John, went a short way

182:3.1 he had often before gone to pray and commune.

182:3.1 could not help recognizing that he was grievously

182:3.2 As J. awoke them, he said: “What! Can you not

182:3.3 he again found them fast asleep.

182:3.3 He awakened them, saying: “In such an hour I need

182:3.5 During the years that J. lived among his followers,

182:3.6 Each time he prayed in the garden, his humanity laid

182:3.7 as the human J. bade farewell to his apostles and

182:3.7 J. experienced that natural ebb and flow of feeling

182:3.7 just now he was weary from work, exhausted

182:3.9 apostles was a great strain on the human heart of J.;

182:3.9 to face such a death as he well knew awaited him.

182:3.9 He realized how weak and how ignorant his apostles

182:3.9 and he dreaded to leave them.

182:3.9 He well knew that the time of his departure had

182:3.9 but the human heart of J. wished that more might

183:0.1 After J. had finally awakened Peter, James, and John

183:0.1 he suggested that they go to their tents and seek

183:0.2 Peter desired to call his associates, but J. definitely

183:0.3 J. withdrew from the camp and from his friends in

183:0.4 J. knew that the plan for his death had its origin in

183:0.4 he was also aware that all such nefarious schemes

183:0.4 And he well knew that these rebels of the realms

183:0.5 J. sat down, alone, on the olive press, where he

183:1.1 the fact that J., in patiently submitting to all this

183:1.2 J. elected to lay down his life in the flesh in the

183:1.2 he steadfastly refused to extricate himself from the

183:1.2 neither did the archenemies of J. dictate it, though

183:2.1 informed him that he was ready to lead them to J..

183:2.1 where Judas expected to find J. still visiting with

183:2.1 J. and the eleven were well outside the walls of the

183:2.2 Judas was much perturbed by this failure to find J. at

183:2.2 Judas had hoped to take J. when the city was quiet,

183:2.3 When they failed to find J. in the upper chamber,

183:2.3 the high priest’s home preparatory to receiving J.,

183:2.3 explained to his associates that they had missed J.

183:2.3 The rulers of the Jews reminded Judas that J. had

183:2.3 learned that they intended to arrest J., he refused

183:3.1 that he might be ready quickly to identify J. so

183:3.1 so that the apostles and others gathered about J.

183:3.2 they knew these soldiers were coming to arrest J.,

183:3.3 simply point J. out to the soldiers, or at most carry

183:3.4 J. made one last effort to save Judas from actually

183:3.4 he stepped to one side and, addressing the foremost

183:3.4 The captain answered, “J. of Nazareth.”

183:3.4 J. stepped up immediately in front of the officer and,

183:3.4 of the God of all this creation, said, “I am he.”

183:3.4 Many of this armed band had heard J. teach in the

183:3.4 in compensation for his promise to deliver J. into

183:3.5 Judas stepped up to J. and, placing a kiss upon his

183:3.7 J. was ready to go back to Jerusalem with the

183:3.7 as J. stood there awaiting the captain’s orders, one

183:3.7 stepped up to J. and made ready to bind his hands

183:3.7 the Roman captain had not directed that J. should be

183:3.8 J. effectively put a stop to this show of resistance by

183:3.8 laid heavy hands on J. and quickly bound him.

183:3.9 When J. had been bound, the captain, fearing that

183:3.9 When the guards started back to Jerusalem with J.

183:3.10 guards, and servants, who were now leading J.

183:3.10 the guards were going to take J. to the home of

183:4.2 hasten on after the mob and effect the rescue of J..

183:4.2 J. had instructed them that they should preserve

183:4.2 J. bade Simon Peter and his fellow swordsmen

183:4.2 J. had counseled Lazarus against exposing himself

183:4.2 secure information as to where J. had been taken,

183:4.5 John Zebedee remained, as J. had directed him,

183:4.6 they all vaguely realize that J. has forewarned them

183:4.8 the chief disciples, and the earthly family of J..

183:5.1 Before they started away from the garden with J.,

183:5.1 soldiers as to where they were to take J..

183:5.1 gave orders that he should be taken to Caiaphas,

183:5.1 directed that J. be taken to the palace of Annas,

183:5.1 they took J. to the home of Annas for his

183:5.3 John hurried up near J. as he marched along

183:5.4 why John was permitted to remain near J. all the

183:5.4 made all the more secure when, in turning J. over

183:5.4 thus was John able to be near J. right on up to the

183:5.5 way to the palace of Annas, J. opened not his mouth.

184:0.1 instructed the captain to bring J. immediately to

184:0.1 to the palace of Annas after he had been arrested.

184:0.1 Annas had another purpose in detaining J. at his

184:0.2 they would be ready to sit in judgment on J. when he

184:0.2 who were openly opposed to J. and his teaching

184:0.3 J. spent about three hours at the palace of Annas

184:1.1 He desired to direct the matter of disposing of J.;

184:1.1 the Sanhedrin who had espoused the cause of J.

184:1.2 Annas had not seen J. for several years, not since the

184:1.2 attempt to persuade J. to abandon his claims and

184:1.2 and had reasoned that J. might choose to leave the

184:1.2 J. was even more majestic and poised than Annas

184:1.3 When J. was young, Annas had taken a great interest

184:1.3 now Annas’s revenues were threatened by what J.

184:1.4 and commanded that J. be brought before him.

184:1.4 As Annas looked inquiringly at J., the Master looked

184:1.4 J. looked down upon him, but he did not answer.

184:1.6 The kindly manner in which J. spoke to Annas

184:1.6 he had already determined in his mind that J. must

184:1.6 struck J. in the face with his hand, saying, “How

184:1.7 Annas regretted that his steward had struck J.,

184:1.7 Annas went into another room, leaving J. alone with

184:1.9 to inquire what time J. would be brought before the

184:1.9 Annas thought best to send J. bound and in custody

184:2.1 After John had entered the palace courtyard with J.

184:2.1 Judas came up to the gate but, seeing J. and John,

184:2.1 John saw him just as they were about to take J.

184:2.2 Peter felt out of place among the enemies of J.,

184:2.3 he could scarcely realize that J. had been arrested.

184:2.5 denied all connection with J., saying, “I know not

184:2.6 said: “I am sure you are a disciple of this J., not only

184:2.6 he denied all knowledge of J. with much cursing and

184:2.7 This J. is a Galilean, and your speech betrays you,

184:2.8 teasingly charged him with being a follower of J..

184:2.8 denied all connection with J., the cock crowed,

184:2.8 and the guards led J. past on the way to Caiaphas.

184:2.9 After J. and the guards passed out of the palace

184:2.10 Peter did not follow J to the palace of the high priest

184:2.11 frustrated their purpose to identify him with J..

184:2.11 Not until J. looked upon him, did he realize that he

184:3.1 that J. be brought before them for his formal trial.

184:3.1 a large majority vote, had decreed the death of J.,

184:3.1 decided that he was worthy of death on charges of

184:3.2 John Zebedee was present with J. throughout this

184:3.3 some of the Pharisees flattered themselves that J.,

184:3.3 And they were resolved that he should never live to

184:3.5  J. appeared before this court clothed in his usual

184:3.6 Judas could not be used as a witness against J.

184:3.6 false witnesses were on hand to testify against J.,

184:3.6  J. stood there, looking down benignly upon these

184:3.7 two men testified that they had heard J. say in the

184:3.7 that he would “destroy this temple made with hands

184:3.7 That was not exactly what J. said, regardless of the

184:3.7 the fact that he pointed to his own body when he

184:3.8 the high priest shouted at J., “Do you not answer

184:3.8  J. opened not his mouth. He stood there in silence

184:3.9 Annas now arose and argued that this threat of J. to

184:3.10 1. That he was a dangerous traducer of the people.

184:3.10 That he taught them impossible things and otherwise

184:3.11 2. That he was a fanatical revolutionist in that he

184:3.11 he advocated laying violent hands on the sacred

184:3.11 the sacred temple, else how could he destroy it?

184:3.12 3. That he taught magic inasmuch as he promised to

184:3.13 Sanhedrin agreed J. was guilty of death-deserving

184:3.13 consent of the Roman governor before J. could be

184:3.13 making it appear that J. was a dangerous teacher

184:3.14 he rushed over to the side of J. and, shaking his

184:3.15 When the high priest heard J. utter these words, he

184:3.15 “He is worthy of death; let him be crucified.”

184:3.16  J. manifested no interest in any question asked him

184:3.16 When asked if he were the Son of God, he instantly

184:3.18 After J. had so unexpectedly answered Caiaphas,

184:3.18 Sanhedrist trial of J. ended at half past four o’clock.

184:3.19 His silence is terrible to endure; his speech is defiant.

184:3.19 He is unmoved by their threats and undaunted by

184:4.1 the confirmation of their decision that J. must die.

184:4.1  J. was left in the audience chamber in the custody

184:4.2 When these abuses first started, J. indicated to John,

184:4.3 Throughout this awful hour J. uttered no word.

184:4.5 As these insults, taunts, and blows fell upon J.,

184:4.5 he was undefending but not defenseless.

184:4.5  J. was not vanquished, merely uncontending in the

184:4.6  J. is now engaged in making a new revelation of

184:4.6  J. is now revealing to the worlds the final triumph

184:4.6  J. does not hesitate to assert that he and the Father

184:4.6 he admonishes every kingdom believer to become

184:4.6 one with him even as he and his Father are one.

184:4.6 the religion of J. thus becomes the sure and certain

184:5.1  J. was led into the adjoining room, where John was

184:5.1 Roman soldier and temple guards watched over J.

184:5.2 the indictment of J., as being worthy of death,

184:5.3 1. That he was a perverter of the Jewish nation;

184:5.3 he deceived the people and incited to rebellion.

184:5.4 2. That he taught the people to refuse to pay tribute

184:5.5 of kingdom, he incited treason against the emperor.

184:5.6 neither was J. asked to explain his intended meaning

184:5.8 they wanted to see J. destroyed, but they would not

184:5.9  J. did not again appear before the Sanhedrist court.

184:5.9  J. did not know (as a man) of their formal charges

184:5.9 charges until he heard them recited by Pilate.

184:5.10 While J. was in the room with John and the guards,

184:5.11  J. was led from the home of Caiaphas to appear

185:0.1  J. was brought before Pilate, the Roman procurator

185:0.2 informed that J. would be early brought before him.

185:0.4 as they intrigued to effect the judicial murder of J.,

185:1.6 Roman ruler sacrificed J. to his fear of the Jews and

185:1.6 of having consented to the crucifixion of J..

185:1.7 Claudia Procula, Pilate’s wife, had heard much of J.

185:1.8 to Pilate—to get him up at six o’clock to try J.—and

185:2.0 2. JESUS APPEARS BEFORE PILATE

185:2.1 When J. and his accusers had gathered in front of

185:2.1 taken it upon themselves to put J. out of the way

185:2.1 of the death sentence pronounced upon J.,

185:2.2 they were reluctant to state their charges against J.,

185:2.3 to die for the things which he has said and done.

185:2.4 the ill-humor of the Sanhedrists toward J. as well as

185:2.6 Roman soldiers in effecting the secret arrest of J.,

185:2.6 that Pilate had heard further concerning J. and his

185:2.8 to comply with their demands that J. be sentenced to

185:2.9 then handed to Pilate the written charges against J..

185:2.10 and a disturber of our nation in that he is guilty of:

185:2.14 J. had not been regularly tried nor legally

185:2.14 He did not even hear these charges when first

185:2.14 where he was in the keeping of the guards, and he

185:2.15 When J. heard these accusations, he well knew that

185:2.15 he well knew that he had not been heard on these

185:2.15 but he made no reply to their false charges.

185:2.15 he opened not his mouth.

185:3.1 Pilate took J. and John Zebedee into a private

185:3.1 Pilate began his talk with J. by assuring him that

185:3.1 the first count against him: that he was a perverter of

185:3.1 explained that J. and his apostles paid taxes both to

185:3.2 Pilate then turned around to question J. further,

185:3.6 One look at J., face to face, was enough to

185:3.6 Pilate thought he understood something of what J.

185:3.6 J. was nothing more or less than a harmless

185:3.7 back to the chief priests and the accusers of J. and

185:3.7 I do not think he is guilty of the charges you have

185:3.7 I think he ought to be set free.”

185:3.7 so that they wildly shouted that J. should die;

185:3.7 He is a mischief-maker and an evildoer.

185:3.8 Pilate was hard pressed to know what to do with J.;

185:3.8 when Pilate heard them say that he began his work in

185:3.8 to gain time for thought, by sending J. to appear

185:3.9 And they took J. to Herod.

185:4.0 4. JESUS BEFORE HEROD

185:4.1 it was to this home of the former king that J. was

185:4.1 he was followed by his accusers and an increasing

185:4.1 Herod had long heard of J., and he was very

185:4.1 As far as Herod knew, he had never seen J.,

185:4.1 Now that he was in custody of Pilate and the

185:4.1 had heard much about the miracles wrought by J.,

185:4.2 When they brought J. before Herod, the tetrarch was

185:4.2 Herod asked J. questions, but the Master would not

185:4.2 J. would not reply to his many inquiries or respond

185:4.3 convinced that J. would neither talk nor perform a

185:4.3 Herod knew he had no jurisdiction over J. in

185:4.3 glad to believe that he was finally to be rid of J. in

185:4.3 Herod had at certain times even feared that J. was

185:4.3 relieved of that fear since he observed that J. was a

185:5.0 5. JESUS RETURNS TO PILATE

185:5.1 When the guards had brought J. back to Pilate, he

185:5.1 before me with charges that he perverts the people,

185:5.1 If you still think he needs to be disciplined, I am

185:5.2 in shouting their protests against the release of J.,

185:5.2 to ask for the release of a prisoner, and since J.

185:5.2 since J. was now a prisoner before his judgment

185:5.4 Pilate stood up and explained to the crowd that J.

185:5.4 I release to you, Barabbas, or this J. of Galilee?”

185:5.4 the priests were minded to have J. put to death,

185:5.5 before this the multitude had stood in awe of J., but

185:5.5 J. could be a hero in the eyes of the populace when

185:5.5 when he was driving the money-changers and the

185:5.5 but not when he was a nonresisting prisoner in the

185:5.6 of a murderer while they shouted for the blood of J..

185:5.6 worst crime is that he figuratively calls himself the

185:5.7 Pilate knew J. was innocent of the charges brought

185:5.8 with this innocent and just man whom they call J..

185:5.8 Barabbas and to clamor for the crucifixion of J..

185:5.10 What evil has he done?

185:5.10 But when they heard Pilate speak in defense of J.,

185:5.12 “If I release Barabbas, what shall I do with J.?”

185:5.13 one more attempt to appease the crowd and save J..

185:6.1 before Pilate, only the enemies of J. are participating

185:6.2 this misled mob who cried for the blood of J.,

185:6.2 the Roman soldiers to take J. and scourge him.

185:6.2 The guards took J. into the open courtyard of the

185:6.2 scourgers to desist and indicated that J. should be

185:6.2 Before the scourgers laid their whips upon J. as he

185:6.4 There stood J. of Nazareth, clothed in an old purple

185:6.4 had set their minds to effect the destruction of J..

185:6.7 this man ought to die because he made himself out

185:6.7 the thought of J. possibly being a divine personage.

185:6.7 he took J. by the arm and again led him inside the

185:7.1 with fearful emotion, sat down by the side of J.,

185:7.2 But J. could hardly answer such questions when

185:7.2 and before he had been duly sentenced to die.

185:7.2 J. looked Pilate straight in the face, but he did not

185:7.3 This last talk with J. thoroughly frightened Pilate.

185:7.3 the double weight of the superstitious fear of J.

185:7.4 expect that I would consent to his death because he

185:7.5 Pilate was just about ready to release J. when

185:7.5 the cowardly governor ordered J. brought before

185:7.5 was no hope of saving J. since he was unwilling to

185:8.1 He was arrested without indictment; accused

185:8.1 to appeal to their patriotism by referring to J. as

185:8.1 it was too late now to save J. even had the mob

185:8.2 You are determined that he shall die, but I have

186:0.1 As J. and his accusers started off to see Herod, he

186:0.1 Bethany, where the entire family of J. was assembled

186:0.1 the sisters of Lazarus whom J. raised from the dead.

186:0.2 But the family of J. did not reach Bethany until

186:0.2 John arrived bearing the request of J. to see his

186:0.2 that had happened since the midnight arrest of J.,

186:0.2 J., accompanied by the Roman soldiers who were

186:0.3 When Mary the mother of J. started out with John to

186:0.3 business of putting to death their eldest brother, J. of

186:1.1 when the hearing of J. before Pilate was ended

186:1.1 As soon as the Romans took possession of J., the

186:1.1 waiting to learn what had been done with J..

186:1.1 regarding the trial and condemnation of J., Judas

186:1.2 been appointed to pay you for the betrayal of J..

186:1.4 Judas saw them raise the cross piece with J. nailed

186:2.1 When J. was arrested, he knew that his work on

186:2.1 He fully understood the sort of death he would die,

186:2.1 he was little concerned with the details of his trials.

186:2.2 J. declined to make replies to the testimony of

186:2.2 When asked if he were the Son of God,he unfailingly

186:2.2 He steadfastly refused to speak when in the presence

186:2.2 Before Pilate he spoke only when he thought that

186:2.2 a better knowledge of the truth by what he said.

186:2.2 J. had taught his apostles the uselessness of casting

186:2.2 and he now dared to practice what he had taught.

186:2.2 He was altogether willing to discuss with Pilate

186:2.2 —any question which he recognized as belonging

186:2.3 J. was convinced that it was the will of the Father

186:2.3 the will of the Father that he submit himself to the

186:2.3 he refused to employ even his purely human powers

186:2.3 Although J. lived and died on Urantia, his whole

186:2.5 J. had acquired that type of human character which

186:2.5 He could not be intimidated.

186:2.5 he had only suggested the propriety of calling

186:2.6 depiction of the scene of “Pilate on trial before J..”

186:2.7 J. did not hesitate to answer the question of the chief

186:2.9 J. said little during these trials, but he said enough to

186:2.9 but he said enough to show all mortals the kind of

186:2.10 He was not even angry when they blindfolded him

186:2.11 after J. had been scourged, Pilate presented him

186:2.11 In his matchless life he never failed to reveal God

186:2.11 he made a new and touching revelation of man to

186:3.4 David was the only one of the disciples of J. who

186:3.5 these followers of J., scattered throughout Jerusalem

186:4.1 Upon taking charge of J., the soldiers led him back

186:4.1 J. was now alone with these Roman soldiers.

186:4.2 o’clock when Pilate turned J. over to the soldiers

186:4.2 of more than half an hour J. never spoke a word.

186:4.3 soldiers were ready to depart with J. for Golgotha,

186:4.4 Much of the delay in starting off with J. for the site

186:4.4 since J. was to be crucified that morning, the Roman

186:4.5 they gazed upon J., one of them for the first time,

186:5.1 There is no direct relation between the death of J.

186:5.1 J. was a Jew, but as the Son of Man he was a

186:5.2 not God who planned and executed the death of J.

186:5.2 J. would have had to divest himself of his body,

186:5.2 J. could have executed such a task in countless ways

186:5.3 All the life he lived thereafter, and even the manner

186:5.4 a son of God, is not dependent on the death of J..

186:5.6 just as much before the life and death of J. as he did

186:5.6 J. not only made a revelation of God to man, but

186:5.6 but he also likewise made a new revelation of man

186:5.7 J. is not about to die as a sacrifice for sin.

186:5.7 He is not going to atone for the inborn moral guilt of

186:5.9 just as certain if J. had not been put to death by

187:0.1 the Roman soldiers the previous night to arrest J. in

187:0.1 but J. was given no further physical punishment;

187:0.1 the captain undoubtedly thought he had already

187:0.2 The two thieves crucified with J. were associates of

187:0.2 J. was thus crucified in the place of Barabbas.

187:0.3 What J. is now about to do, submit to death on the

187:0.3 submit to death on the cross, he does of his own will.

187:0.4 when the soldiers led J. from the praetorium on

187:0.4 were followed by many who sympathized with J.,

187:0.4 a few of the Jewish leaders went out to see J. die

187:0.4 Knowing that he had been turned over to the

187:0.4 and that he was condemned to die, they busied

187:1.2 the centurion carried to put on the cross of J.

187:1.2 and it read: “J. of Nazareth—the King of the Jews.”

187:1.3 protest against calling J. the “king of the Jews.”

187:1.3 to read, “He said, ‘I am the king of the Jews.

187:1.5 just forty years after the crucifixion of J., all of

187:1.6 As he passed by, many of these women bewailed

187:1.7 were courageous to manifest sympathy for J., for

187:1.7 J. appreciated the manifestation of sympathy in

187:1.7 he did not want these kindhearted women to incur

187:1.7 J. thought little about himself, only of the terrible

187:1.9 as J staggered on bearing the crossbeam, his strength

187:1.9 and he fell beneath the weight of his heavy burden.

187:1.9 The soldiers kicked him, but he could not arise.

187:1.9 knowing what J. had already endured, the captain

187:1.10 Simon never knew that J., whose burden he bore,

187:2.1 hear all that J. said during these hours of lingering

187:2.2 was thus garbed before he was put upon the cross.

187:2.3 But when J. tasted this narcotized wine, as thirsty

187:2.3 as thirsty as he was, he refused to drink it.

187:2.4 Before J. was put on his cross, the two brigands had

187:2.4 He could not have so lovingly interceded for his

187:2.5 read in three languages, “J. of Nazareth—the King

187:2.5 Pilate could have written “J, a rebel.” But he knew

187:2.6 by placing this inscription on the cross of J.,

187:2.7 The Apostle John, with Mary the mother of J.,

187:2.7 just after J. had been hoisted to his position on the

187:2.8 As J. saw his mother, with John and his brother and

187:2.8 brother and sister, he smiled but said nothing.

187:2.8 J. looked down on them while they divided his

187:3.2 These and other friends of J. held their peace while

187:3.4 a toast to J., saying, “Hail and good fortune! to the

187:3.5 When J. saw them eat and drink, he looked down

187:3.5 When the captain of the guard heard J. say, “I thirst”

187:3.5 raised it to J. so he could moisten his parched lips.

187:3.6 J. had purposed to live without resort to his

187:3.6 and he likewise elected to die as an ordinary mortal

187:3.6 He had lived as a man, and he would die as a man—

187:4.1 One of the brigands railed at J., saying, “If you are

187:4.1 But when he had reproached J., the other thief,

187:4.1 When J. heard the thief say this, he turned his face

187:4.1 J. turned his face toward him and smiled approvingly

187:4.1 When the malefactor saw the face of J. turned

187:4.2 to believe in J., but only in these last hours of

187:4.2 When he saw the manner in which J. faced death

187:4.3 and reception of the thief into the kingdom by J.,

187:4.4 believed in J. and entered into the full fellowship of

187:4.5 In beholding J., there sprang up in his heart an

187:4.6 and had appealed to the mercy of J., he would have

187:4.7 John took his position near Mary the mother of J.,

187:4.7 As J. looked down upon this scene, it was noontide

187:4.7 John took the mother of J. to the place where he

187:4.7 Mary did not live quite one year after the death of J.

187:4.8 remained in attendance upon J. until he expired on

187:5.2 the slightest doubt that he had lived in accordance

187:5.2 he never doubted that he was now laying down his

187:5.2 J. was merely reciting in his vanishing consciousness

187:5.3 The last request which the mortal J. made of his

187:5.3 he said, “I thirst,” and the same captain of the guard

187:5.5 J., with a loud voice, cried out, “It is finished!

187:5.5 And when he had thus spoken, he bowed his head

187:5.5 When the Roman centurion saw how J. died, he

187:5.5 truly he must have been a Son of God.”

187:5.5 And from that hour he began to believe in J..

187:5.6 J. died royally—as he had lived.

187:5.6 He freely admitted his kingship and remained

187:5.6 He went willingly to his ignominious death, after

187:5.6 after he had provided for the safety of his chosen

187:5.6 He wisely restrained Peter’s trouble-making violence

187:5.6 He revealed his true nature to the murderous

187:5.6 He started out to Golgotha bearing his own

187:5.7 sent three soldiers to break the legs and dispatch J.

187:5.8 they found J. already dead, much to their surprise.

187:5.8 the acute spiritual anguish of J. brought an end to

187:6.1 where David supposed the mother of J. stopped with

187:6.2 authorizing them to take possession of the body of J.

188:0.3 Nicodemus, had asked that the body of J. be

188:1.0 1. THE BURIAL OF JESUS

188:1.1 they found the soldiers taking J down from the cross

188:1.2 they had decided to bury J. in Joseph’s new family

188:1.2 Joseph really believed that J. would rise from the

188:1.2 members of the Sanhedrin had kept their faith in J.

188:1.2 they were the most outspoken disciples of J. in all

188:1.3 the burial procession of J. of Nazareth started from

188:1.3 The mortals who bore the material body of J. to the

188:1.6 There was considerable haste about the burial of J.

188:1.7 These women did not think J. had been properly

188:1.8 believed that he was due to arise from the tomb on

188:2.1 reports of his saying he would rise from the dead.

188:2.2 to Pilate: “Sir, we remember that this deceiver, J.

188:2.2 and then proclaim that he has risen from the dead.

188:3.1 all Jerusalem discussed the death of J. on the cross.

188:3.1 would be in the city to learn of the resurrection of J.

188:3.3 Mary the mother of J., with Ruth and Jude, returned

188:3.4 are not able fully to explain just what happened to J.

188:3.4 when he was supposed to be resting in Joseph’s new

188:3.4 he died the same natural death on the cross as would

188:3.4 That which J. put in the Father’s hands for the

188:3.4 some spiritual reality in the experience of J. which

188:3.4 we do not really know what J. commended to his

188:3.5 regarding the status of the personality of J. during

188:3.7 2. The former Thought Adjuster of J. we know to

188:3.8 this soul-identity of J. now reposes in the “bosom

188:3.9 4. We think the human or mortal consciousness of J.

188:3.9 We have reason to believe that the human J. knew

188:3.10 place on record regarding the status of J. during this

188:3.11 “In commemoration of the mortal transit of J. of

188:3.14 Jerusem convened while the body of J. rested in the

188:3.16 which suggests that not all of the personality of J.

188:4.1 Although J. did not die this death on the cross to

188:4.1 there are significances attached to this death of J.

188:4.2 J. desired to live a full life in the flesh on Urantia.

188:4.3 J. did not die to ransom man from the clutch of the

188:4.4 Before J. lived on earth, you might possibly have

188:4.4 but J. portrayed the love and mercy of a heavenly

188:4.6 J. lived and died for a whole universe, not just for

188:4.6 mortals had salvation even before J. lived and died

188:4.7 it is hardly proper to speak of J. as a sacrificer,

188:4.7 it is wholly correct to refer to him as a savior.

188:4.7 He forever made the way of salvation (survival)

188:4.7 he did better and more surely show the way of

188:4.8 and loving Father, the only concept J. ever taught,

188:4.8 of God as it was taught and exemplified by J.

188:4.9 J. taught that service to one’s fellows is the highest

188:4.9 therefore, serve one’s fellows even as J. loved and

188:4.12 The great thing about the death of J. is not the fact

188:4.12 and the matchless spirit in which he met death.

188:5.1 The cross of J. portrays the full measure of the

188:5.2 The cross forever shows that the attitude of J.

188:5.2 J. is truly a savior in the sense that his life and

188:5.2 J. loves men so much that his love awakens the

188:5.2 J. disclosed to this world a higher quality of

188:5.2 J. brought a new method of living to Urantia.

188:5.2 He taught us not to resist evil but to find through

188:5.2 The forgiveness of J. is not condonation; it is

188:5.2 love of J. is never satisfied with mere forgiveness.

188:5.3 J., by the power of his personal love for men, could

188:5.3 He set men free to choose better ways of living.

188:5.3 J. portrayed a deliverance from the past which in

188:5.4 sufferings of J. were not confined to the crucifixion.

188:5.4 In reality, J. spent upward of twenty-five years on

188:5.5 have taken one more look at J. on the cross and then

188:5.6 He made the cross an eternal symbol of the triumph

188:5.6 victory of truth over evil when he prayed, “Father,

188:5.7 —and J. had such a love that he was willing to lay

188:5.8 this sublime spectacle of the death of the human J.

188:5.9 this great symbol of the bestowal life of J. truly

188:5.10 When thinking men and women look upon J. as he

188:5.11 final manifestation of the love and devotion of J.

188:5.11 which J. so willingly gave, and which he refused

188:5.12 If man cannot otherwise appreciate J and understand

189:0.1 of a possible technique for the restoration of J..

189:0.2 The spirit transit of this J. was completed at the

189:1.1 resurrected morontia form and personality of J. of

189:1.2 delivered and resurrected morontia personality of J..

189:1.4 anything to do with this morontia resurrection of J.

189:1.4 he laid down his life as a mortal of the realm;

189:1.4 Sunday morning he took it up again as a morontia

189:1.4 much about the resurrection of J. which we do not

189:1.4 the mortal material remains of J. lay wrapped in

189:1.5 as J. appeared beside Gabriel, just above the tomb,

189:1.6 forever clarify the concept of the resurrection of J.

189:1.7 1. His material or physical body was not a part of

189:1.7 When J. came forth from the tomb, his body of

189:1.7 He emerged from the burial tomb without moving

189:1.8 2. He did not emerge from the tomb as a spirit nor as

189:1.8 he did not appear in the form of the Creator

189:1.8 such as he had before his incarnation in the likeness

189:1.9 3. He did come forth from this tomb of Joseph in

189:1.10 The first act of J. on arising from the tomb was to

189:1.10 then he directed the chief of the Melchizedeks to

189:1.10 He thereupon asked the Most High of Edentia for

189:1.11 After J. had spoken, he signaled to the Personalized

189:1.12 the requirements of the life he had chosen to live

189:1.13 Now is the mortal transit of J.—the morontia

189:1.13 He now lives as J. of morontia, and as he begins this

189:1.13 as he begins this morontia life, the body lies there

189:2.0 2. THE MATERIAL BODY OF JESUS

189:2.1 as the resurrected J. fraternized with the assembled

189:2.1 approached Gabriel and asked for the body of J..

189:2.2 make such disposition of the physical remains of J.

189:2.4 As they made ready to remove the body of J.

189:2.5 the sordid business of supposedly getting rid of J.

189:2.6 The Christian belief in the resurrection of J. has

189:2.6 teaching that the material body of J. was raised

189:2.7 The tomb was empty, not because the body of J. had

189:2.8 The mortal remains of J. underwent the same natural

189:3.2 in connection with the morontia resurrection of J..

189:3.3 the morontia resurrection, the mortal transit, of J.

189:3.5 the recital of the events of the resurrection of J. as

189:4.1 As we approach the time of the resurrection of J.

189:4.1 coupled with the thought of what happened to J.,

189:4.2 the more prominent of the Jerusalem disciples of J..

189:4.3 five of the women started out for the tomb of J..

189:4.3 to give the body of J. its death anointing and wrap

189:4.6 In the recess of stone where they had laid J., Mary

189:4.6 and the bandages wherewith he had been wrapped

189:4.8 “He is not there—they have taken him away!”

189:4.9 It had not yet occurred to them that J. had been

189:4.10 as if Mary thought he might be the caretaker of the

189:4.10 “Whom do you seek?” Mary said: “We seek for J.

189:4.10 was laid to rest in Joseph’s tomb, but he is gone.

189:4.10 that he would die, but that he would rise again?”

189:4.10 “Did not this J. tell you, even in Galilee, that he

189:4.13 when Mary Magdalene repeated the words which J.

189:4.14 The women repeated the story of talking with J. to

189:5.1 his hope was aroused by the story that J. had sent

189:5.1 Peter was half persuaded that J. was really alive;

189:5.2 in their minds all that had been told them about J.,

189:5.3 Mary had gone to the apostles believing that J.

189:5.3 she thought she had heard the familiar voice of J..

189:5.5 and told the apostles she had again talked with J.,

190:0.0 MORONTIA APPEARANCES OF JESUS

190:0.1 The resurrected J. now prepares to spend a short

190:0.2 All this power which is inherent in J. and which

190:0.2 the very gift of eternal life which he bestows upon

190:0.3 same type of transition or morontia body that J. had

190:0.3 that J. had when he arose from the tomb on Sunday

190:0.3 When the believers saw J. after his resurrection, they

190:0.4 faith in the resurrection of J. was the cardinal feature

190:1.1 The apostles did not want J. to leave them; therefore

190:1.2 five women who represented that they had seen J.

190:1.2 the four women who had seen J. went over to the

190:1.2 doubted their story, doubted that J. had risen from

190:1.3 John was disposed to believe, even faintly, that J.

190:1.5 and four other women, who have talked with J..

190:1.5 message to the believers is: ‘J. has risen from the

190:1.6 heralds of the mighty truth-fact of the resurrected J..

190:1.6 even tarrying to talk with those who had seen J.;

190:1.9 went out to Bethany to join the waiting family of J..

190:1.10 John took Mary the mother of J. to his home in

190:2.1 J. made nineteen separate appearances in visible

190:2.1 He did not appear to his enemies nor to those who

190:2.1 His first appearance was to the five women at the

190:2.2 regarding the later claims of the apostles that J. was

190:2.3 he knew that it was his eldest brother, J., who had

190:2.4 When James perceived that J. was addressing him,

190:2.4 “My father and my brother,” but J. bade him stand

190:2.5 exclaiming: “I have just seen J. and talked with him,

190:2.5 He is not dead; he has risen!

190:2.5 He vanished before me, saying, ‘Farewell until I

190:2.5 and he retold the experience of meeting J. in the

190:2.5 they all began to believe in the resurrection of J..

190:2.5 “He is seen not only by excited women; even

190:2.6 the fourth appearance of J. to mortal recognition

190:2.6 when he appeared visibly before his earthly family

190:2.7 because of certain things which J. had said to him as

190:3.1 The fifth morontia manifestation of J. to the

190:3.1 their very midst the fully visible form of the risen J.

190:3.1 And when he had thus spoken, he vanished from

190:3.2 Of the five morontia appearances of J. occurring

190:3.3 concerning this appearance of J. at Joseph’s house

190:3.3 was being reported about the city that J. had risen,

190:3.3 They had dared to think they were through with J..

190:4.1 And when he had thus charged them, he took leave,

190:4.1 when the soldiers arrested J. and Judas betrayed him

190:4.2 J. thinks much about his apostles but desires that

190:4.2 and thoughtful consideration before he visits them.

190:5.1 Cleopas, the elder, was a partial believer in J.;

190:5.2 they talked in great earnestness about J., his

190:5.2 the morontia manifestation of J., his seventh

190:5.2 Cleopas had often heard J. teach and had eaten

190:5.3 And when J. had spoken, they stood still and viewed

190:5.3 who has not heard these rumors concerning J. of

190:5.3 Now many of us had hoped that it was he who

190:5.3 It is now the third day since he was crucified, and

190:5.3 they maintain that he has risen from the dead.

190:5.3 his brother to say, “but they did not see J..”

190:5.4 Do you not remember that this J. always taught

190:5.4 told his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem,

190:5.4 to death, and that he would arise on the third day?

190:5.4 that he will hear the cry of the needy and save the

190:5.5 They insisted that it was near nightfall, and that he

190:5.5 They gave him the bread to bless, and as he began

190:5.5 Not a word had these two men spoken since J.

190:5.5 and J. was about to take leave of them, going on

190:5.5 Finally J. consented, and very soon after they

190:5.5 “It is the Master—,” the morontia J. vanished from

190:5.6 “No wonder our hearts burned within us as he spoke

190:5.6 and while he opened up to our understanding the

190:5.8 declaring that they had seen J. and talked with him.

190:5.8 And they told all that J. had said to them and how

190:5.8 they had not discerned who he was until the time of

191:0.2 John upheld the idea that J. had risen from the dead.

191:0.3 groups of believers to whom J. had appeared.

191:0.4 as if the body of J. had just evaporated from within.

191:0.4 “But,” reasoned Peter, “if he has risen and can

191:0.4 why does he not show himself to us, his apostles?

191:0.4 maybe J. did not come to them on account of his

191:0.5 disappointed because J. did not appear to them,

191:0.7 believing that J. had fulfilled his promise to rise again

191:0.9 desirous of knowing, provided J. had really risen

191:0.13 why they did not go at once to Galilee after J. first

191:1.1 when J. appeared to Simon Peter in the garden of

191:1.1 provided he had really risen from the dead.

191:1.1 J. appeared as the dejected apostle strolled among

191:1.3 Peter and the morontia J. walked through the garden

191:1.5 Peter’s declaration that he had seen J. in the

191:2.2 When the morontia J. had spoken to them, he

191:3.1 The morontia J. sojourned with these splendid

191:3.1 He instructed them and learned from their directors

191:3.3 J. made the transit to the third stage of morontia on

191:3.3 he entered the embrace of the Most Highs of Edentia

191:4.1 The tenth morontia manifestation of J. to mortal

191:4.1 at Philadelphia, where he showed himself to Abner

191:4.1 called by Abner to discuss the crucifixion of J.

191:4.1 not difficult for them to believe the report that J.

191:4.2 He stepped forward from where he had appeared

191:4.6 forth proclaiming that J. had risen from the dead.

191:4.7 The next day J. spent without interruption in the

191:4.7 he received visiting morontia delegates from the

191:5.7 The apostles were now convinced that J. had risen

191:6.1 J. appeared to Rodan and some eighty other

191:6.1 J. appeared before these Greeks and Jews at the

191:6.4 they all believed that J. had risen from the dead.

191:6.4 He appeared to us day before yesterday.”

192:0.1 Since J. appeared only to his family of believers.

192:0.1 were disconcerted by the spread of rumors that J.

192:0.2 J. never gave Peter any such authority, and his

192:0.3 Mary the mother of J. spent much of the time with

192:1.2 They did not understand why J. wanted to meet

192:1.2 He had told them that, if they would go into Galilee

192:1.2 if they would go into Galilee, he would meet them

192:1.2 there, and he was about to fulfill that promise.

192:1.3 And when they answered, “No,” he spoke again.

192:1.3 they did not know it was J. who had directed them,

192:1.4 that the unrecognized one was the risen J.,

192:1.4 And then J. spoke, not as he had in Jerusalem,

192:1.4 when he greeted them with “Peace be upon you,”

192:1.4 he addressed John Mark: “Well, John, I am glad to

192:1.5 As J. talked with the young man, the ten were so

192:1.8 Then J. broke the bread and handed it to John,

192:1.8 J. bade John Mark sit down while he himself served

192:1.8 as they ate, J. visited with them and recounted their

192:1.9 This was the third time J. had manifested himself to

192:1.9 When J. first addressed them, asking if they had fish,

192:1.9 they did not suspect who he was because it was a

192:1.10 J. visited with the ten apostles and John Mark for

192:1.10 and then he walked up and down the beach, talking

192:1.10 —but not the same couples he had at first sent out

192:1.11 J. directed that two of the apostles should volunteer

192:2.1 while the others sat by the fire, J. beckoned to Peter

192:2.4 J. turned to Peter and, for the third time, asked,

192:2.5 turning to J., he pointed to John, asking, “If I follow

192:2.6 statement by J. to the effect that John would not die

192:2.6 It was this interpretation of what J. said that had

192:2.7 J. went for a walk and talk with Andrew and

192:2.7 when the former chief of the apostles heard J. ask

192:2.9 J. next talked with Thomas and Nathaniel.

192:2.14 J. returned from his visit with the Alpheus twins,

192:2.14 and as he left the apostles, he said: “Farewell, until I

192:2.14 When he had thus spoken, he vanished from their

192:3.1 hill near Capernaum, and J. appeared among them.

192:3.2 When the Master—the morontia J.—now prayed, it

192:3.3 And no one saw J. for a full week.

192:3.3 J. was occupied with the morontia creatures on earth

192:3.3 the morontia transition which he was experiencing

192:4.1 Word of the appearances of J. was spreading

192:4.8 into a new and modified form of religion about J..

193:0.1 The sixteenth morontia manifestation of J.

193:1.1 at this place, near where J. had spoken to Nalda

193:1.3 where they published the news that they had seen J.,

193:2.3 J. had been with these believers when he was in the

193:2.3 quick to recognize him when he began to teach them.

193:2.3 never slow to identify his personality when he spoke

193:3.1 J. made his last appearance on earth as a morontia

193:3.2 Simon interrupted J., asking,“Then, Master, will you

193:3.2 When J. had listened to Simon’s question, he

193:3.3 When he had spoken, he beckoned for them to come

193:3.3 he led them out on the Mount of Olives, where he

193:3.3 the Mount of Olives, where he bade them farewell

193:3.3 until J. paused with them on the Mount of Olives.

193:4.3 but all these men grew to love J. and their fellow

193:4.14 and otherwise onetime sincere believer in J., even

193:5.1 J. arrived on the western slope of Mount Olivet with

193:5.1 J. prepared to say his last farewell to the apostles

193:5.1 his last farewell to the apostles before he took leave

193:5.1 As he stood there before them, without being

193:5.4 released J. of Nazareth from the morontia state and,

193:5.5 the morontia J. disappeared from the observation of

193:6.1 the foremost disciples of J. living in Jerusalem had

193:6.1 Among this company was Mary the mother of J..

193:6.1 James the brother of J. was present at this meeting,

193:6.4 differed with Peter regarding preaching about J. in

194:0.1 and the good news that J. had risen from the dead.

194:0.3 even salvation through J.—but they unintentionally

194:0.4 the fact of God as the Father of the Lord JC., in

194:0.5 to remember their personal association with J. and

194:0.7 how these men came to preach a new gospel about J

194:1.2 that which vindicated their former devotion to J.

194:1.5 the believers in J. were a sect within Judaism.

194:2.1 J. lived on earth and taught a gospel which redeemed

194:2.1 to restate the J. message so that every new group

194:2.1 And now that he has personally left the world, he

194:2.1 he sends in his place his Spirit of Truth, who is

194:2.2 J. having been among men, all believers would

194:2.4 J. taught that the spirit would not speak of himself.

194:2.6 and as he now again lives it anew and afresh in the

194:2.8 J. lived a life which is a revelation of man

194:2.8 this new message about J. carried along with it

194:2.9 substitution of the fact of the resurrection of J. for

194:3.1 When J. was on earth, he lived his life as one

194:3.1 he lived his life as one personality—J. of Nazareth.

194:3.2 And the life and death of J. are the eternal proof that

194:3.2 They taunted J. on the cross, saying, “Let us see if

194:3.3 To J., mortal life had dealt its hardest, cruelest, and

194:3.3 J. met life in all its terrible reality and mastered it—

194:3.3 He did not use religion as a release from life.

194:3.4 is an opiate to the people, it is not the religion of J..

194:3.4 On the cross he refused to drink the deadening drug,

194:3.8 religion which he lived and the gospel which he

195:10.1 The world needs to see J. living again on earth in

196:0.0 THE FAITH OF JESUS

196:0.1  J. enjoyed a sublime and wholehearted faith in God.

196:0.1 He experienced the ordinary ups and downs of

196:0.1 he never religiously doubted the certainty of God’s

196:0.2 The human J. saw God as being holy, just, and great

196:0.2 All these attributes of divinity he focused in his mind

196:0.2 concept of God as a Father was not original with J.,

196:0.2 but he exalted and elevated the idea into a sublime

196:0.3  J. did not cling to faith in God as would a struggling

196:0.3 he did not resort to faith merely as a consolation

196:0.3 he experienced the tranquillity of supreme and

196:0.3 was not that he revealed so many new ideas about

196:0.3 but rather that he so magnificently and humanly

196:0.3 a living reality as in the human experience of J. of

196:0.4 This living faith of J. was more than an intellectual

196:0.5 in the human life of J. faith was personal, living,

196:0.5 a mere intellectual belief which he held as a sacred

196:0.5 he calmly stood in the divine presence free from fear

196:0.5  J. enjoyed the invigorating assurance of the

196:0.5 he unfailingly exhibited an unquestioning loyalty to

196:0.6 of the religious ego, but it was not so with J..

196:0.6 He was not unfavorably affected in his practical life

196:0.7 spiritual faith of J. never became fanatical, for it

196:0.8 The faith of J. visualized all spirit values as being

196:0.8  J. saw in the advanced and ideal fellowship of the

196:0.8 The very heart of the prayer which he taught his

196:0.8 he devoted himself to the cause of its realization

196:0.10 J. brought to God, as a man of the realm, the

196:0.10 J. always and consistently interpreted religion

196:0.10  J. never prayed as a religious duty. To him prayer

196:0.10 He lived just such a life of prayerful consecration to

196:0.10 he attained it by intelligent prayer and sincere

196:0.11 In the earthly life of J., religion was a living

196:0.11 The faith of J. bore the transcendent fruits of the

196:0.11  J. trusted God much as the child trusts a parent.

196:0.11 He had a profound confidence in the universe—

196:0.11 He depended on the heavenly Father as a child

196:0.11 He was not disturbed seriously by fears, doubts,

196:0.11 He combined the stalwart and intelligent courage

196:0.12 The faith of J. attained the purity of a child’s trust.

196:0.12 It is not strange that he once said, “Except you

196:0.13 J. does not require his disciples to believe in him but

196:0.13 J. most touchingly challenged his followers, not only

196:0.13 what he believed, but to believe as he believed.

196:0.14 The faith of J. was trusting, like that of a child, but

196:0.14 He made robust and manly decisions, courageously

196:0.14 to believe what J. believed and as he believed.

196:1.0 1. JESUS—THE MAN

196:1.1 you must not take the human J. away from men.

196:1.1 to take the human J. away from struggling mortals

196:1.1 obscure the saving truth that J. was a religious

196:1.1 he was the most truly religious man who has ever

196:1.2 witness the figurative resurrection of the human J.

196:1.2  J. of Nazareth must not be longer sacrificed to

196:1.2 presented as the living J. to the church that bears

196:1.2 if the J. of Galilee is reinstated in the minds and

196:1.2 if the living religion of J. should suddenly supplant

196:1.2 suddenly supplant the theologic religion about J..

196:1.3 To “follow J.” means to personally share his faith

196:1.3 to find out what J. believed, to discover his ideals,

196:1.3 of greatest value is to know the religious life of J.

196:1.4 The common people heard J. gladly, and they will

196:1.4 he was one of them, an unpretentious layman;

196:1.5 to imitate the outward life of J. in the flesh but rather

196:1.5 to trust God as he trusted God and to believe in men

196:1.5 and to believe in men as he believed in men.

196:1.5  J. never argued about either the fatherhood of God

196:1.5 he was a living illustration of the one and a

196:2.0 2. THE RELIGION OF JESUS

196:2.1 back to the unadulterated religious teachings of J.,

196:2.1 You may preach a religion about J., but, perforce,

196:2.1 but, perforce, you must live the religion of J..

196:2.1 experience with the J. of the Damascus road.

196:2.1 founded on the personal religious experience of J.

196:2.1 the significant and inspiring religious life of J., but

196:2.2 until he finally arrived at that advanced and exalted

196:2.2 in one short life, did J. traverse that experience of

196:2.2  J. progressed from a purely human consciousness

196:2.2 He progressed from the humble status of mortal

196:2.2 when he had thus attained divinity, he was still the

196:2.2 he was still the same human J., the Son of Man as

196:2.3 Luke retain something of the picture of the human J.

196:2.3 as he engaged in the superb struggle to ascertain the

196:2.3 John presents a picture of the triumphant J. as he

196:2.4 the human J. was recognized as having a religion,

196:2.4 the divine J. (Christ) almost overnight became a

196:2.4 lost sight of the struggling and valiant human J.

196:2.4 may find in the personal life of J. that which will

196:2.5 movement tended away from the human picture of J.

196:2.5 Christ, the glorified and soon-returning Lord JC.

196:2.6 J. founded the religion of personal experience in

196:2.6 Paul founded a religion in which the glorified J.

196:2.6 In the bestowal of J. these two concepts were

196:2.7 He was the world’s most wholehearted and devoted

196:2.7 He was a wholly consecrated mortal, unreservedly

196:2.7 as a confession of what he demanded of himself

196:2.7 rather than what he required of all his followers.

196:2.7  J. burned all bridges behind him; he sacrificed all

196:2.7 he sacrificed all hindrances to the doing of his

196:2.8  J. blessed the poor because they were usually sincere

196:2.8 he condemned the rich because they were usually

196:2.8 He would equally condemn the irreligious pauper

196:2.9  J. led men to feel at home in the world; he

196:2.9 he delivered them from the slavery of taboo and

196:2.9 He did not long to escape from his earthly life;

196:2.9 he mastered a technique of acceptably doing the

196:2.9 He attained an idealistic religious life in the very

196:2.9  J. did not share Paul’s pessimistic view of

196:2.10 Because of this high estimate which J. placed upon

196:2.10 he was willing to spend himself in the unremitting

196:2.10 be uplifted by the extraordinary faith J. has in him?

196:2.11  J. offered no rules for social advancement; his was

196:3.19  J. revealed and exemplified a religion of love:

95:6.6  the J were under the political and cultural dominance

96:0.1 The J. synthesized all gods into their more sublime

96:1.15 while the J. thus changed their views of Deity

97:9.28 The J. had thought that the idea of the future life

97:9.29 grew, but the J. were not a miraculous people.

121:7.2 the J. had nourished an attitude toward the outside

121:7.3 held the J. in a terrible bondage of ritualism and

121:7.3 The J. of Jesus’ time were not only held in

121:7.4 leaders of the J. to array the people against the

121:7.5 impossible for the J. to fulfill their divine destiny as

121:7.5 They could not break the fetters of tradition.

121:7.7 The J. viewed history as the providence of God—

133:3.2 the J. had rejected Jesus’ message and had voted to

134:0.2 revealing his divine identity among the J. and

134:0.2 His Urantia career began among the J. in Palestine,

134:0.2 to terminate his life in Palestine and among the J..

136:9.6 the last chance of the J. to attain world dominion;

136:9.11 the J. are expecting just that sort of a deliverer.

139:4.3 and J. were assigned as personal aides to Jesus

139:4.3 that Peter, James, and J. attach themselves to Jesus.

139:4.4  JZ. had many lovely traits of character, but one

139:4.4  J. came nearer to being the chum of Jesus than

139:4.4 that he was his chosen personal representative in

139:4.5 strongest trait in J.’ character was his dependability;

139:4.5 His greatest weakness was this characteristic conceit

139:4.5 He was the youngest member of his father’s family

139:4.5 Perhaps he was just a bit spoiled;

139:4.5 maybe he had been humored slightly too much.

139:4.5 But the J. of after years was a very different type of

139:4.6 characteristics of Jesus which J. most appreciated

139:4.6 He talked about love and wrote about love.

139:4.6 he was asked to say a few words to the believers,

139:4.7  J. was a man of few words except when his temper

139:4.7 He thought much but said little.

139:4.7 As he grew older, his temper became more subdued,

139:4.7 but he never overcame his disinclination to talk;

140:8.1 some special instruction to Peter, James, and J.,

140:8.1 and J. to talk over the affairs of the kingdom.

140:8.23 The one thing that J. gained from this day’s teaching

140:10.9  J. asked, “Master, what is the kingdom of heaven?”

141:3.2 Peter, James, and J. did most of the public preaching

141:7.2 Jesus took Peter, James, and J. into the hills across

141:7.8 J. were tempted to think he might be beside himself.

141:7.11 Jesus intimated to Peter, James, and J. that his

141:7.14  J. recognized that, notwithstanding all of his divine

141:7.15 Peter, James, and J. could not understand very much

142:6.1 Peter, James, and J. were in Flavius’s garden

143:3.5  J. was inordinately perplexed in his heart.

143:5.12 Nalda told this entire story to the Apostle J., but he

143:5.12 but he never revealed it fully to the other apostles,

143:5.13 Nalda told J. that Jesus had told her “all I ever did.

143:5.13  J. many times wanted to ask Jesus about this visit

143:5.13 about this visit with Nalda, but he never did.

143:5.13 Nalda subsequently repeated to J. that Jesus had

144:1.7  J. and Andrew thought the kingdom had already

144:1.8 Occasionally he took with him Peter, James, or J.,

144:4.10 One of the reasons why Peter, James, and J., who

145:0.3 No human being, save JZ., ever knew of this visit,

145:0.3 of this visit, and he was admonished to tell no man.

145:2.13 the Apostle J., who was the last to write of Jesus’

145:2.13 this he did in view of the fact that cases of demon

145:5.3 Peter aroused James and J., and the three went to

147:0.1  James and JZ., made two secret trips to Tiberias,

147:3.1  J. said to Jesus, “Come with me, I would show

147:3.1  J. conducted Jesus out through one of the

147:3.2 and J., the youngest of the twelve, was especially

147:3.2 He had brought Jesus to the pool thinking that the

147:3.2 Said J. to Jesus: “Master, see all of these suffering

147:3.2 Jesus replied: “J., why would you tempt me to

147:3.6 said Jesus to J.: “Let us depart ere the chief priests

147:3.6 But J. never told the other apostles of this visit of

147:5.1 and his associates, Peter, James, and J., to his home

147:5.6 And Jesus, with Peter, James, and J., took leave of

148:3.3 Jesus had released Peter, James, and J. temporarily

148:6.1 In answering J’ questions, among many other things

148:6.1  J. also asked Jesus why so many apparently innocent

148:6.12  J. pondered these sayings in his heart for many days.

148:6.12 His entire afterlife was markedly changed as a result

148:6.12 he did much, in later times, to cause the other

148:6.12 But J. never spoke of this conference until after the

149:0.3 On this tour only James and J. traveled with Jesus.

149:4.1 where Jesus chanced to sojourn with James and J..

149:7.3 and J., remained at the Zebedee home and spent time

150:4.1 they were: Andrew and Peter, James and J.

150:5.1 Shunem, after J.’ apostles had returned to Hebron,

151:0.2 James and J. were with him much of the time,

152:1.1 for, taking with him Peter, James, and J., he turned

152:2.5 attempt to proclaim Jesus king were Peter, J.,

152:4.3  J. reached down and pulled Peter out of the sea.

152:7.1 Jesus, with J., stayed at the home of a believer

153:0.2 James and J. talked over the forthcoming sermon

158:0.2 James, and J. shared even a part of this unique

158:2.2 fearing that James or J. might ask some question

158:2.3 Peter, James, and J. pondered all this in their minds,

158:2.5 Jesus did not take Peter, James, and J. with him up

158:3.1 That which Peter, James, and J. witnessed on the

158:4.8 and J., their nine brethren likewise were sleepless in

158:5.1 marked the countenances of Peter, James, and J..

158:7.7 Peter, James, and J., recalling their experience upon

159:2.1 Jesus went over to Gamala to visit J. and those

159:2.1  J. said to Jesus: “Master, yesterday I went over to

159:2.1 Do you not see, J., that those who profess to do

159:2.2 This instruction greatly perplexed J..

159:2.2 Had he not heard the Master say, “He who is not

159:2.2 And he did not perceive that in this case Jesus was

159:2.3 But J. oftentimes recounted this experience in

159:2.4 This man whom J. forbade to teach in Jesus’ name

162:0.2  J. stepped up to Jesus and said: “Master, we pray

163:6.1 away in the near-by hills with Peter, James, and J.,

163:7.3 and Matthew and the mother of James and J..

170:2.24 By the time the Apostle J. began to write the story

170:2.24  J. talks much about the “eternal life.” Jesus often

171:0.4 the mother of James and JZ. came to Jesus with

171:0.5 James and J. answered, “Yes, Master, we are able.”

171:0.6 and they were highly indignant that James and J.

171:0.6 in response to the labors of Peter, James and J.

172:3.6 Jesus called Peter and J., and after directing them

172:4.3 Jesus, with Peter and J., went to the home of Simon,

172:5.2 during the excitement, particularly Peter, James, J.

172:5.5  J. came somewhere near understanding why Jesus

172:5.5 at least he grasped in part the spiritual significance of

172:5.5 as J. beheld his Master sitting there astride the colt

172:5.5 he recalled hearing Jesus onetime quote the passage

172:5.5 As J. turned this Scripture over in his mind, he

172:5.5 he began to comprehend the symbolic significance of

172:5.5 he grasped enough of the meaning of this Scripture

172:5.5  J. had a type of mind which naturally tended to think

174:0.2 To J. he said: “Be gentle; love even your enemies;

174:0.3 for Jerusalem with Andrew, Peter, James, and J.

176:2.8 But the Apostle J. never became thus confused.

177:3.5 Peter and J. spent several hours in conference with

177:4.4 indignation that Peter, James, and J. should have

177:4.4 was bent on getting even with Peter, James, and J.

178:2.5 “Go and bring Peter and J., and I will give you

178:2.6 Peter and J. went to one side to talk with the Master

178:2.10 he was easily prevented from following Peter, J.,

179:1.4  JZ. laid claim to the next preferred seat, the one on

179:1.4 assumption of choice positions by Judas and J.

179:1.4 seating order and just opposite to that chosen by J.

179:1.5 the following order: on the right of the Master, J.;

179:4.3  J., who reclined on Jesus’ right hand, leaned over

179:4.4 Peter addressed J., “Ask him who it is, or if he has

180:6.1 After Peter, James, J., and Matthew had asked the

181:2.2 To J., Jesus said: “You, J., are the youngest of my

181:2.2 I go to the Father, J., having full confidence that

181:2.2 I depend upon you, J., to welcome them for me.

181:2.3 I have chosen you to do this for me, J., because

181:2.5 As JZ. stood there in the upper chamber, the tears

181:2.5 he looked into the Master’s face and said: “And so I

181:2.5  J., always remember, strive not with the souls you

181:2.15 You and your brother J. will go different ways,

182:2.2 and J., saying, “I desire that you remain with me

182:2.5  J. were standing by to receive the Master’s orders,

182:2.12 with Peter, James, and J., into a near-by ravine,

182:3.1 Jesus, taking Peter, James, and J., went a short

183:0.1 After Jesus had awakened Peter, James, and J.,

183:3.2 and J., with some thirty of their fellow campers,

183:3.10 Peter and J., who had hidden among the olive

183:3.10  J. followed close behind the mob, but Peter

183:3.10 which he found in the tent of Simon Peter and J.

183:4.1 separated from Simon Peter and his brother J.,

183:4.3  Peter and JZ. followed along to the home of Annas.

183:4.5 Until the very end of the crucifixion, J. remained,

183:4.5 it was he who supplied David’s messengers with

183:5.3  JZ., remembering his Master’s instructions to

183:5.3 The commander of the temple guards, seeing J.

183:5.3 He is one of this fellow’s followers.”

183:5.3 captain heard this and, looking around, saw J., he

183:5.3 I saw him in the garden, and he did not draw a

183:5.3 He has the courage to come forward to be with his

183:5.4 this explains why JZ. was permitted to remain near

183:5.4 The Jews feared to say aught to J. or to molest

183:5.4 J. had something of the status of a Roman counselor

183:5.4  J.’ position of privilege was made all the more

183:5.4 thus was J. able to be near Jesus right on up to the

183:5.4  J. was acting under Roman protection, and the

184:0.3  JZ. was free and safe in the palace of Annas not only

184:0.3 because he and his brother James were well known

184:2.1  JZ. was marching by the side of the captain of the

184:2.1 After J. had entered the palace courtyard with

184:2.1 Judas came up to the gate but, seeing Jesus and J.,

184:2.1  J. saw him just as they were about to take Jesus

184:2.1 The portress who kept the gate knew J., and when

184:2.1 when he spoke to her, requesting that she let Peter

184:2.2 him to keep near at hand as he had admonished J..

184:2.3 as to how J. came to be admitted to the palace,

184:2.3 that it was because he was known to the servants,

184:2.3 since he had bidden the gate-keeper admit him.

184:2.4 for it was J. who had requested that the girl let Peter

184:3.2  J. was present with Jesus throughout this so-called

184:4.2  JZ. waited in lonely terror in an adjoining room.

184:4.2 Jesus indicated to J., by a nod of his head, that he

184:4.2 to witness these indignities, J.’ resentment would be

184:5.1 Jesus was led into the adjoining room, where J. was

184:5.10 While Jesus was in the room with J. and the guards,

185:0.1 the high priest, Caiaphas, and by the Apostle J..

185:2.15 so did JZ. and his accusers, but he made no reply to

185:3.1 Pilate took Jesus and JZ. into a private chamber,

185:3.1 Jesus, pointing to J., said, “Ask him or any other

185:3.1 Then Pilate questioned J. about this matter of

185:3.1 and J. testified concerning his Master’s teaching

185:3.1 When Pilate had questioned J., he said, “See that

185:3.1 And J. never did reveal this matter. Pilate then

186:0.1 the Master turned to the Apostle J. and said:

186:0.1J., you can do no more for me. Go to my mother

186:0.1 When J. heard his Master’s request, although

186:0.1 he hastened off to Bethany, where the entire family

186:0.2  J. arrived bearing the request of Jesus to see his

186:0.2  After JZ. had told them all that had happened

186:0.2 his mother went at once in the company of J. to

186:0.2 By the time Mary and J. reached the city, Jesus,

186:0.3 the mother of Jesus started out with J. to go to her

186:4.1 gone their way; even JZ. was no longer by his side

187:2.7 The Apostle J., with Mary the mother of Jesus, Ruth

187:2.7  J. was the only one of the eleven apostles to witness

187:2.7 even he was not present all of the time since he ran

187:2.7 he ran into Jerusalem to bring back his mother and

187:2.7 after he had brought Jesus’ mother to the scene.

187:2.8 As Jesus saw his mother, with J. and his brother and

187:3.2 were Mary, Ruth, Jude, J., Salome (J.’ mother),

187:4.3 the Apostle J. was absent, having gone into the city

187:4.4 The Apostle J. told about the crucifixion as he

187:4.7  J. returned from the city, bringing with him his

187:4.7  J. took up his position near Mary the mother of

187:4.7 speaking to J., he said, “My son, behold your mother

187:4.7 so J. and Jude led Mary away from Golgotha.

187:4.7  J. took the mother of Jesus to the place where he

187:4.7 she lived at J.’ home for the rest of her natural life.

187:5.1 all women except two, Jude, Jesus’ brother, and J.

187:5.4 The mother of J. and others watched from a distance

187:5.4 there were present at the foot of his cross JZ., his

187:5.6 that J. might be near him right up to the end of his

187:6.2 After the death of the Master, J. sent the women,

187:6.2  J. himself, being well known to the Roman centurion

188:1.3 to the tomb were: Joseph, Nicodemus, J., and the

189:4.13 followed by J., in great haste to reach the tomb and

189:4.14 go to find out for themselves as had Peter and J..

189:5.0 5. PETER AND JOHN AT THE TOMB

189:5.1 As J. hastened out of the city, a strange ecstasy of

189:5.1 He was half convinced that the women really had

189:5.2  J., being younger than Peter, outran him and arrived

189:5.2  J. tarried at the door, viewing the tomb, and it was

189:5.2  J. also went in and saw it all for himself, and then

189:5.3  J. reasoned that the grave would hardly have been

189:5.3 he also raised the question as to how the bandages

189:5.4 As Mary lingered after Peter and J. had gone,

189:5.5 when Peter and J. returned, they ceased to ridicule

190:1.3 Only J. was disposed to believe, even faintly, that

190:1.10  J. took Mary the mother of Jesus to his home in

191:0.2  J. upheld the idea that Jesus had risen from the dead.

191:0.2 He recounted no less than five different times when

191:0.2  J.’ attitude had considerable influence on them,

191:0.2  J. would have influenced them more if he had not

191:0.13 Peter and J. went over to Bethpage and brought him

192:1.3 Now, JZ. was quick of perception, and when he saw

192:1.3 when he saw the heavy-laden net, he perceived that

192:1.3 he perceived that it was the Master who had spoken

192:1.3 leaned over and whispered to Peter, “It is the Master

192:1.3 so when J. whispered this in his ear, Peter quickly

192:2.1 Jesus beckoned to Peter and to J. that they should

192:2.1 Jesus said to J., “J., do you love me?”

192:2.1 And when J. answered, “Yes, Master, with all my

192:2.1 “Then, J., give up your intolerance and learn to love

192:2.5 Peter pointed to J., asking, “If I follow on after you,

192:2.5 If I will that J. should tarry after you are gone, even

192:2.6 to the effect that J. would not die before the Master

193:6.1 Mary had returned to Jerusalem with JZ. when the

194:1.2 in this meeting: Peter, Andrew, James, J., Philip,

194:1.4 James, and J. baptized them in the Master’s name.

196:2.3  J. presents a picture of the triumphant Jesus as he

John the Baptistthe forerunner of Michaels mission

45:4.17 J., the forerunner of Michael’s mission on Urantia

92:5.13 started with the cult which had been established by J.

97:10.3 from that day to the time of J. all Israel experienced

97:10.4 From Moses to J. there extended an unbroken line of

114:2.3 one J., known to you as “the Baptist,” is chairman of

122:2.1 his mother, Elizabeth, was a member of the more

122:2.3 this divine teacher, and you shall call your son J..

122:2.3 He will grow up dedicated to the Lord your God,

122:2.3 when he has come to full years, he will gladden your

122:2.3 your heart because he will turn many souls to God,

122:2.3 he will also proclaim the coming of the soul-healer

122:2.5 It was not until about six weeks after J.’ birth that

122:2.7  J. was born in the City of Judah, March 25, 7 B.C.

122:2.7 they formally christened him J., as they had been

122:2.7 had been born to her and that his name was to be J..

122:2.8 From his earliest infancy J was judiciously impressed

122:2.8 idea that he was to grow up to become a spiritual

122:2.8 the soil of J.’ heart was responsive to the sowing of

122:2.8 Even as a child J. was found frequently at the temple

122:2.8 he was impressed with the significance of all that he

122:3.1  J., and who will prepare the way for the message

122:8.4 and that their son J. was to be his chief of aides,

122:9.2 Zacharias, who confided the secret of J. and Jesus

123:3.4 Zacharias and Elizabeth and their son J. came to visit

123:3.4 Jesus and J. had a happy time during this, their first

123:3.5 Having met J., who came from near Jerusalem, Jesus

123:6.8 He came to Nazareth at the instigation of J.’ father

124:6.12 knew something of the early history of J. and Jesus,

125:6.4 might have gone thither to see Elizabeth and J..

126:2.4 learned of this from J. on the day of his baptism,

127:3.11 Elizabeth and J. came to visit the Nazareth family.

127:3.11  J., having lost his father, intended to return to the

127:3.11 Jesus advised him to remain in Nazareth to take up

127:3.12 Jesus and J. had many talks together; and they

127:3.12  J. was tremendously impressed by what he saw at

127:3.12 that he should return home and labor for the support

127:3.12 He became convinced that he was to be a part of

127:3.12 he saw that Jesus was to occupy many years with

127:3.12 so he was much more content to return to his home

127:3.12 never again did J. and Jesus see each other until

128:1.8 the episode attendant upon his baptism by J. in

128:1.9 of his human life up to the day of his baptism by J..

129:3.9 consciousness on the very day of his baptism by J.

134:9.8 rumors came to Capernaum of one J. who was

134:9.8  J. preached: “The kingdom of heaven is at hand;

134:9.8 Jesus listened to these reports as J. slowly worked

134:9.8 But Jesus worked on, making boats, until J. had

134:9.8 and presently presented himself to J. for baptism.

135:0.0 JOHN THE BAPTIST

135:0.1  J. was born March 25, 7 B.C., in accordance with

135:0.1 unusual dream about six weeks before the birth of J..

135:0.1 nothing supernatural connected with the birth of J..

135:0.2 On the eighth day J. was circumcised according to

135:0.2 He grew up as an ordinary child, day by day and

135:0.3 most eventful occurrence in J.’ early childhood was

135:0.3 1 B.C., when he was a little over six years of age.

135:0.4  J.’ parents began the systematic education of the lad.

135:2.2  J. had just about made up his mind to launch out in

135:2.4 while he made more frequent visits to Engedi.

135:2.4 He was so different from the majority of Nazarites

135:2.4 that he found it very difficult fully to fraternize with

135:10.1 There was a sadness of confusion about J..

135:10.1 He never again preached as he had before baptizing

135:10.1 He felt that the responsibility of the coming kingdom

135:10.1 He felt that his work was almost finished; he was

135:10.1 he was disconsolate and lonely.

135:10.1 But he preached, baptized, and journeyed on

135:10.2 that he made the memorable attack upon Herod

135:10.2 By June of this year (A.D. 26) J. was back at the

135:10.2 ford of the Jordan, where J. had begun his preaching

135:10.2 the character of J.’ preaching gradually changed

135:10.2 he denounced with renewed vehemence the corrupt

135:11.0 11. JOHN IN PRISON

135:11.1  J. had a lonely and somewhat bitter experience in

135:11.1 He longed to see Jesus but had to be content with

135:11.1 He was often tempted to doubt Jesus and his

135:11.1 this whole experience was a great test of J.’ faith

135:11.1 Many times was he tempted to doubt even his own

135:11.2 After he had been in prison several months, a group

135:11.2  J. answered his friends: “This man can do nothing

135:11.3 disciples were amazed at J.’ pronouncement,

135:11.3  J. was also much agitated, for he perceived that he

135:11.3 for he perceived that he had uttered a prophecy.

135:11.3 Never again did he wholly doubt the mission and

135:11.3 disappointment to J. that Jesus sent him no word,

135:11.3 He had great love for J., but being now cognizant

135:11.3 great things in preparation for J. when he departed

135:11.3 also knowing that J.’ work on earth was finished,

135:11.4  J. again sent trusted messengers to Jesus, inquiring

135:11.4 “Go back to J. and tell him that I have not forgotten

135:12.0 12. DEATH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST

135:12.1  As J. was working in southern Perea when arrested,

135:12.1 he was taken to the prison of the fortress of

135:12.1 where he was incarcerated until his execution.

135:12.2 Herod feared to release J. lest he instigate rebellion.

135:12.2 Pereans believed that J. was a holy man, a prophet.

135:12.2 Herod kept J. in prison, not knowing what else to

135:12.2 Several times J. had been before Herod, but never

135:12.2 never would he agree either to leave the domains of

135:12.2 refrain from all public activities if he were released.

135:12.2 admonished Herod that it was no time to turn J.

135:12.2  J. was also a victim of the intense and bitter hatred

135:12.3 Herod talked with J. about the kingdom of heaven,

135:12.3 Herod was afraid to release him from prison.

135:12.5 Since Herodias had failed to bring about J.’ death by

136:0.1 There was a great contrast between J. and Jesus.

136:0.1  J. was an eager and earnest worker, but Jesus was

136:0.1  J. was hardly a comfort or an example.

136:0.1 He preached the kingdom of heaven but hardly

136:0.1 Jesus spoke of J. as the greatest of the prophets of

136:0.2 When J. preached the coming kingdom, the burden

136:1.5 the mighty and immediate appeal of J.’ preaching,

136:2.1 Jesus was baptized at the very height of J’ preaching

136:2.1 not all who submitted to J.’ baptism regarded

136:2.1 guilty of the specific sins which J. denounced.

136:2.1 Many devout souls were baptized by J. for the

137:1.2 amiss to say Simon was one of J.’ chief supporters.

137:1.3 but what about J.? Are we to forsake him?

137:1.3 Whereupon they agreed to go at once to consult J..

137:1.3  J. was saddened by the thought of losing two of

137:2.2  J. had made his positive pronouncement to

141:1.4 they did not in any way detract from J.’ preaching,

141:1.4 it was always a stumbling stone to J.’ followers

141:1.4  J.’ disciples never could understand why Jesus did

141:9.2 The disciples of J. remained at Bethany beyond

142:4.4 beyond the Jordan and baptized by the disciples of J.

142:7.4 because J. had preached in terms of the coming

162:1.3 even JI., the apostle, had dared to think that Jesus

163:2.11 When the apostolic treasury was overflowing, J.

163:2.11 This J. did after consultation with Andrew.

171:1.4 subsequently turning the money over to JI..

172:1.5 that so costly an ointment should be thus used, JI.

172:1.7 It was because of this rebuke, which he took as a

172:1.7 that JI. finally made up his mind to seek revenge

172:1.7 Many times had he entertained such ideas

172:1.7 but now he dared to think such wicked thoughts in

172:2.3 David Zebedee turned over to J. the funds realized

172:2.3 and J., in turn, had placed the greater part of this

172:5.12  JI. was the most adversely affected by this entry

172:5.12 His mind was in a disagreeable ferment because of

172:5.12  J. was disgusted with the whole spectacle.

172:5.12 To him it seemed childish, if not indeed ridiculous.

172:5.12 He heartily resented the whole performance.

172:5.12 He shared the views of the Greeks and Romans, who

172:5.12  J. had about made up his mind to abandon the whole

172:5.12 he was almost resolved to forsake all such farcical

172:5.12 And then he thought of the resurrection of Lazarus,

172:5.12 he carried the bag, and he would not desert with the

172:5.13  J. was tremendously influenced by the ridicule of

172:5.13 A prominent Sadducee (a friend of J.’ family)

172:5.13  J. had never shrunk from persecution, but he

172:5.13 but he could not stand this sort of ridicule.

173:0.2 one thought uppermost in the minds of all save JI.,

173:0.2 one absorbing thought of J. was: What shall I do?

174:0.2 And to JI. he said: “J., I have loved you and have

175:4.1  J. had returned to the temple, so that all twelve

175:4.1 unfortunate that JI. could not have heard the first

175:4.1 He did not hear this last offer of mercy to the Jewish

175:4.1 because he was still in conference with a certain

175:4.1 friends with whom he had lunched, and with whom

175:4.1 with whom he was conferring as to the most fitting

175:4.1  J. finally and fully made up his mind to forsake

175:4.1 he left the temple in company with the twelve,

175:4.1 J. listened to that fateful discourse on the destruction

176:2.9  J. had finally confirmed his decision to abandon his

177:4.0 4. JUDAS AND THE CHIEF PRIESTS

177:4.1 JI. disappeared from among his brethren, not

177:4.2 On the preceding day J. had disclosed to some of

177:4.2 that he had reached the conclusion that, while Jesus

177:4.2  J. stated that he would very much like to find

177:4.2 His friends flatteringly assured him that his

177:4.2 They led him to believe that he would forthwith

177:4.2 and that he would at last be in a position to erase the

177:4.3  J. could not quite believe that the mighty works of

177:4.3 but he was now fully convinced that Jesus would not

177:4.3 he was at last convinced that Jesus would allow

177:4.3 he could not endure the humiliating thought of being

177:4.3 He refused to entertain the idea of apparent failure

177:4.3 He thoroughly understood the sturdy character of

177:4.3 yet he derived pleasure from even the partial

177:4.4  J. found himself becoming strangely resentful that

177:4.4 All along he had appreciated the honor of being

177:4.4 now he began to feel that he was not appreciated;

177:4.4 He was suddenly overcome with indignation that

177:4.4 when he was on the way to the high priest’s home,

177:4.4 he was bent on getting even with Peter, James, and

177:4.4 more than he was concerned with any thought of

177:4.4 He had set out to get honor for himself, and if this

177:4.4 J. was seized with a terrible conspiracy of confusion

177:4.4 it must be plain that it was not for money that J.

177:4.5 As J. approached the home of Caiaphas, he

177:4.5 he arrived at the final decision to abandon Jesus and

177:4.5 he was determined to secure for himself as much as

177:4.5 that honor and glory which he had thought would

177:4.5 when he first identified himself with Jesus and the

177:4.5 the apostles once shared this ambition with J., but

177:4.5 truth and to love Jesus, at least more than did J..

177:4.6 explained that J., having discovered his mistake

177:4.6 he wished to make public and formal renunciation of

177:4.6 This spokesman for J. went on to explain that

177:4.6 J. recognized it would be best for the peace of Israel

177:4.6 he had come to offer himself to the Sanhedrin as one

177:4.7 his cousin had finished speaking, he presented J.,

177:4.7  J. did not seem to discern the look of disdain and

177:4.7 J.’ heart was too much set on self-glory and the

177:4.8J., you go to the captain of the guard and arrange

177:4.8 When J. heard this, he went forth from the

177:4.8  J. knew that Jesus was then absent from the camp

177:4.9  J. returned to his associates at the camp intoxicated

177:4.9 thoughts of grandeur and glory such as he had not

177:4.9 He had enlisted with Jesus hoping some day to

177:4.9 He at last realized that there was to be no new king

177:4.9 to be no new kingdom such as he had anticipated.

177:4.9 But he rejoiced in being so sagacious as to trade off

177:4.9 reward in the old order, which he now believed

177:4.9 which he was certain would destroy Jesus and all

177:4.9  J.’ betrayal of Jesus was the cowardly act of a

177:4.10  J. had long been engaged in this deliberate,

177:4.10 Jesus loved and trusted J. even as he loved and

177:4.10 but J. failed to develop loyal trust and to

177:4.10  J. craved worldly honor in his mind and grew to

177:4.11  J. did not realize it at this time, but he had been a

177:4.11 he had been a subconscious critic of Jesus ever since

177:4.11  J. always resented the fact that Jesus did not save

177:4.11 You should not forget that J. had been a disciple of

177:4.11  J. had laid by in his soul in habiliments of hate were

177:4.11 to spring up to engulf him when he once dared to

177:4.11 Every time J. allowed his hopes to soar high and

177:4.11 there was always left in J.’ heart a scar of bitter

177:4.11  J. did not realize it, but he was a coward.

177:4.11 Accordingly was he always inclined to assign to

177:4.12 the securing of J. as a traitorous ally insured that

178:0.1 The twelve were all present save J..

178:0.1  J. did not return to the camp until midafternoon, a

178:2.3 David knew all about the part of J. in this plot, but

178:2.6 When J. heard the Master speaking with Philip about

178:2.6 drew closer that he might overhear the conversation.

178:2.6 stepped up and engaged J. in conversation while

178:2.9 believing if J. knew beforehand of their place of

178:2.9 he might arrange with his enemies to take him,

178:2.9 In this way J. did not learn of their place of

178:2.9 when he arrived there in company with Jesus and

178:2.10 Zebedee had much business to transact with J. so

178:2.10 he was easily prevented from following Peter, John,

178:2.10 When J. gave David a certain sum of money for

178:2.10 David said to him: “J., might it not be well, under

178:2.10 after J. had reflected for a moment, he answered:

178:2.10 he answered: “Yes, David, I think it would be wise.

179:1.4  J. stepped over to the seat of honor, at the left of

179:1.4 and signified that he intended there to recline as

179:1.4 This act of J. immediately stirred up a heated

179:1.4  J. had no sooner seized the seat of honor than

179:1.4 this assumption of choice positions by J. and John

179:1.5 the rest of the apostles chose places, some near J.

179:1.5 on the left, J., Simon Zelotes, Matthew, James

179:1.6 under the leadership of J. the apostles are led once

179:2.3 he knew JI. had fully made up his mind to deliver

179:2.3 was the work of J., but that it also pleased Lucifer,

179:3.1 even the traitorous J. so far forgot his infamy for

179:3.4 unusual scene at first touched the heart of even JI.;

179:3.4 but when his vainglorious intellect passed judgment

179:3.4 he concluded that this gesture of humility was just

179:3.4 he had made no mistake in the decision to desert

179:3.7 feet of his twelve apostles, not even passing by J..

179:4.2 even as he now dips his hand with me in the dish.”

179:4.3  J., sitting on the left of his Master, again asked, “Is

179:4.3 herbs, handed it to J., saying, “You have said.”

179:4.3 But the others did not hear Jesus speak to J..

179:4.3 But J. was painfully conscious of the meaning of

179:4.3 he became fearful lest his brethren were likewise

179:4.3 were likewise now aware that he was the betrayer.

179:4.6 toward J., he said: “What you have decided to do,

179:4.6 when J. heard these words, he arose from the table

179:4.6 into the night to do what he had set his mind to

179:4.6 When the other apostles saw J. hasten off after

179:4.6 they thought he had gone to procure something

179:4.6 Master since they supposed he still carried the bag.

179:4.7 that nothing could be done to keep J. from turning

179:4.7  J. was among those nominated by his first-chosen

179:4.8 was Jesus’ last appeal to the deserting J., but it was

181:2.6 paused a moment by the side of the place of JI..

181:2.6 were rather surprised that J. had not returned

182:0.2 about the meaning of J.’ prolonged absence,

182:0.2 they suspected that all was not well with JI..

182:0.2 But they did not engage in open comment about J.

182:0.2 they reached the camp and observed that he was not

182:0.2 to know what had become of J., their chief

182:0.2 “I do not know where J. is, but I fear he has

182:2.1 they returned to their camp and found J. absent.

182:2.1 revealed that they had kept J. under observation

182:2.1 they knew he intended to betray him into the hands

182:2.4 Resentment of J.’ being a traitor for the moment

182:2.4 The Master’s comment in reference to J., spoken

182:2.4 opened their eyes to the fact that he had forsaken

182:2.7 so preoccupied with the realization of J.’ desertion

182:2.9 the enemies of Jesus were coming with J. that night.

182:2.12 before J. and the armed guards appeared to arrest

182:2.13  JI. was in conference with the captain of the temple

182:3.5 behold, he who betrays me is at hand, and the hour

182:3.11 Before J. and the soldiers arrived, the Master had

183:0.3 lest the spectacle of J.’ betraying him should so

183:2.0 2. JUDAS IN THE CITY

183:2.1 After J. so abruptly left the table while eating the

183:2.1 he went directly to the home of his cousin, and then

183:2.1  J. requested the captain to assemble the guards

183:2.1 informed him that he was ready to lead them to

183:2.1  J. having appeared on the scene a little before he

183:2.1 where J. expected to find Jesus still visiting with

183:2.2  J. was much perturbed by this failure to find Jesus

183:2.2 He happened to know that, in the afternoon when

183:2.2  J. had hoped to take Jesus when the city was quiet,

183:2.2 The betrayer feared that, if he waited for them to

183:2.2 he also knew that Simon Zelotes had an ample store

183:2.2  J. was becoming increasingly nervous as he

183:2.2 nervous as he meditated how the eleven loyal

183:2.2 and he feared they would all seek to destroy him.

183:2.2 He was not only disloyal, but he was a real coward

183:2.3  J. asked the captain of the guard to return to the

183:2.3  J. explained to his associates that they had missed

183:2.3 The rulers of the Jews reminded J. that Jesus had

183:2.3 but J. replied that they could not depend upon all

183:2.3 He really feared for himself and therefore made

183:2.4 when JI. started out from the temple, he was

183:2.4 he was accompanied by more than sixty persons—

183:3.1  J. stepped well out in front of the band that he

183:3.1 that he might be ready quickly to identify Jesus

183:3.1 yet another reason why J. chose to be ahead of

183:3.1 He thought it would appear that he had arrived on

183:3.1  J. had even thought to pose as having hastened

183:3.1 Though the Master spoke to J. kindly, he greeted

183:3.2 As J. strode forward to accost the Master, there

183:3.2 J. making ready to impress the traitorous kiss upon

183:3.3 It had been the hope of the betrayer that he could,

183:3.3  J greatly feared that the apostles would all be present

183:3.3 he was so confused that he made no attempt to flee.

183:3.4 Jesus made one last effort to save J. from actually

183:3.4 no need for J. to go on with his plan of betrayal.

183:3.4 they could have taken him without J.’ assistance.

183:3.4 he wanted to make a show of carrying out his part

183:3.4 eligible for the great reward and honors which he

183:3.5  J. stepped up to Jesus and, placing a kiss upon his

183:3.5 And as J. thus embraced his Master, Jesus said,

183:3.6 from the traitorous embrace of J., stepped up to the

183:5.2  J. marched along near the captains, overhearing all

183:5.2 to the betrayer—they held him in such contempt.

183:5.3 And when J. heard this, he was so ashamed and

183:5.3 that he dropped back behind the marchers, coming

184:2.1  J. had dropped some distance behind, and Simon

184:2.1  J. came up to the gate but, seeing Jesus and John,

184:2.1 the home of Caiaphas, where he knew the real trial

184:2.1 Soon after J. had left, Simon Peter arrived, and as

184:3.6  J. could not be used as a witness against Jesus

184:5.1  J was present during the second meeting of the court

184:5.1 the meeting of the court, but he gave no testimony.

185:0.1  JI., and the high priest, Caiaphas, and by John.

186:1.0 1. THE END OF JUDAS ISCARIOT

186:1.1  J. appeared before them to claim his reward for

186:1.1 claim his reward for the part he had played in his

186:1.2 All of these Jews loathed J.; they looked upon the

186:1.2  J. was pricked in his conscience about his conduct.

186:1.2 he was also beginning to become disillusioned

186:1.2 the reward he was to receive as payment for his

186:1.2 He did not like the coolness and aloofness of the

186:1.2 he expected to be liberally rewarded for his

186:1.2 He anticipated being called before the full meeting

186:1.2 in token of the great service which he flattered

186:1.2J., I have been appointed to pay you for the

186:1.2 Caiaphas handed J. a bag containing thirty pieces

186:1.3  J. was stunned, dumfounded. He rushed back to

186:1.3 He rushed back to enter the hall but was debarred

186:1.3 He wanted to appeal to the Sanhedrin, but they

186:1.3  J. could not believe that these rulers of the Jews

186:1.3 He was humiliated, disillusioned, and utterly

186:1.3 He walked away from the temple, as it were, in a

186:1.3 He automatically dropped the money bag in his

186:1.3 that same pocket wherein he had so long carried

186:1.3 And he wandered out through the city after the

186:1.4 From a distance J. saw them raise the cross piece

186:1.4 he rushed back to the temple and, forcing his way

186:1.4 The betrayer was well-nigh breathless and highly

186:1.4 but he managed to stammer out these words: “I have

186:1.4 “I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood

186:1.4 You have insulted me.

186:1.4 You have offered me as a reward for my service

186:1.4 I repent that I have done this; here is your money.

186:1.4 I want to escape the guilt of this deed.”

186:1.5 When the rulers of the Jews heard J., they scoffed at

186:1.5 One of them sitting near where J. stood, motioned

186:1.5 motioned that he should leave the hall and said:

186:1.6 As J. left the Sanhedrin chamber, he removed the

186:1.6 he removed the thirty pieces of silver from the bag

186:1.6 When the betrayer left the temple, he was almost

186:1.6  J. was now passing through the experience of the

186:1.7 His despair was desperate and well-nigh absolute.

186:1.7 On he journeyed through the city and outside the

186:1.7 of Hinnom, where he climbed up the steep rocks

186:1.7 Ere he was dead, the knot which his nervous hands

189:2.5 rid of Jesus by offering bribes to the traitorous J.,

190:1.3 the bag of J., containing all the apostolic funds,

190:4.1 arrested Jesus and J. betrayed him with a kiss.

191:0.10  J. was gone, David had unceremoniously turned

191:1.1 Peter had shuddered at the fate of J. and even

192:0.2 Matthias, whom they chose to take the place of J.,

193:3.2  J. is no more with you because his love grew cold,

193:3.2 because he refused to trust you, his loyal brethren.

193:4.0 4. CAUSES OF JUDAS’S DOWNFALL

193:4.1 he alluded to the loss of J. and held up the tragic

193:4.1 to review the causes of J.’ downfall in the light of

193:4.2  J. went wrong, primarily, because he was very

193:4.2 he was very markedly an isolated personality,

193:4.2 He persistently refused to confide in his fellow

193:4.2 in and of itself, have wrought such mischief for J.

193:4.2 he failed to increase in love and grow in spiritual

193:4.2 he persistently harbored grudges and fostered such

193:4.3 That J. need not have gone wrong is well proved

193:4.3  J. persistently refused to confide in his brethren.

193:4.3 When he was impelled, by the accumulation of his

193:4.3 he invariably sought the advice and received the

193:4.3 he was one of the twelve consecrated ambassadors

193:4.4  J. met defeat in his battles of the earth struggle

193:4.5 1. He was an isolated type of human being.

193:4.5 He was highly individualistic and chose to grow into

193:4.6 2. As a child, life had been made too easy for him.

193:4.6 He bitterly resented thwarting.

193:4.6 He always expected to win; he was a very poor loser

193:4.7 3. He never acquired a philosophic technique for

193:4.7 he unfailingly resorted to the practice of blaming

193:4.8 4. He was given to holding grudges; he was always

193:4.8 he was always entertaining the idea of revenge.

193:4.9 5. He did not like to face facts frankly; he was

193:4.9 he was dishonest in his attitude toward life situations

193:4.10 6. He disliked to discuss his personal problems with

193:4.10 he refused to talk over his difficulties with his

193:4.10 he never once went to the Master with a personal

193:4.11 7. He never learned that the real rewards for noble

193:4.13 difficulties were: In personality, he was isolated.

193:4.13 In mind, he was suspicious and vengeful.

193:4.13 In temperament, he was surly and vindictive.

193:4.13 Emotionally, he was loveless and unforgiving.

193:4.13 Socially, he was unconfiding and almost wholly

193:4.13 he became arrogant and selfishly ambitious.

193:4.13 In life, he ignored those who loved him, in death,

193:4.13 and in death, he was friendless.

193:6.2 that they had decided to choose a successor to JI.,

193:6.3 men should become an apostle to serve in J.’ place.

Judethe brother of Jesus

124:3.4 Wednesday evening, June 24, A.D. 5, J. was born.

124:4.3 largely arose out of friction with Joseph and J.,

124:5.2  J. was not yet two years of age, and the baby sister,

127:4.3 The only exception was J., upon whom on sundry

127:4.3 punish J. for self-confessed and deliberate violations

127:4.3 was assented to by J. himself before it was inflicted.

127:4.5 but Joseph and J., while assenting to such teachings

127:4.5 in particular was J. guilty of violating the spirit of

127:4.7  J. was a firebrand. He had the highest of ideals,

127:4.7 of ideals, but he was unstable in temperament.

127:4.7 He had all and more of his mother’s determination

127:4.7 he lacked much of Mary’s sense of proportion and

127:4.10 This year J. started to school, and it was necessary

128:6.3 Jesus decided to accompany J. on his first visit to

128:6.4 Already at Nazareth J. had got into slight trouble

128:6.5 the very sight of which had stirred and thrilled J.

128:6.5 Passover, J. started up real trouble for them all.

128:6.5  J. flushed with fiery indignation and was not slow

128:6.5 so the guard promptly placed J. under arrest.

128:6.5 he had delivered himself of a voluble denunciation

128:6.5  J., with Jesus by his side, was taken at once to the

128:6.6 to obtain either an immediate hearing for J. or else

128:6.6 Accordingly, J. remained in confinement until the

128:6.6  J. did not pass through this formal ceremony for

128:6.6 until he was next in Jerusalem at a Passover

128:6.6 the Zealots, the patriotic organization to which he

128:6.6 to which he belonged and in which he was active.

128:6.7 appeared before the military magistrate in behalf of J

128:6.7 After warning J. not to allow himself again to be

128:6.7 he’s liable to make a lot of trouble for all of you.”

128:6.7  J. did make considerable trouble for Jesus, and

128:6.8 Jesus and J. walked over to Bethany for the night,

128:6.8 a long talk with J. about this episode three weeks

128:6.8 After this talk with Jesus J. himself told the family.

128:6.8 He never forgot the patience and forbearance his

128:7.3 year the family affairs ran smoothly except for J..

128:7.3 nor was he to be depended upon for his share of the

128:7.3 While he would live at home, he was not

128:7.3 he was not conscientious about earning his share of

128:7.4 was Jesus embarrassed by J.’ belligerent exploits

128:7.4 But J. never was brought to his sober senses until

128:7.8 Before harvest he took J. to the farmer uncle south

128:7.8 but J. did not remain long after the harvest.

128:7.8 He ran away, and Simon later found him with the

128:7.8 since he wanted to be a fisherman, went over to

128:7.8  J. worked fairly well and regularly from that time

128:7.8 and he continued as a fisherman after his marriage.

128:7.11  J. was now very faithfully sending his share of funds

128:7.11 and Miriam had a very beneficial influence on J.,

128:7.11 when he left for the fishing grounds, the day after

128:7.11 he assured Joseph that he could depend on him “to

128:7.11 And he kept his promise.

129:1.6 returned before the double wedding of Simon and J..

129:1.13  J. came over on the Sabbath to hear Jesus talk in the

129:1.13 the more J. saw of his eldest brother, the more he

129:1.13 he became convinced Jesus was a truly great man.

129:2.1  J. would come over to Capernaum, get the money

129:2.1  J.’ fishing headquarters was only a few miles south

129:2.11  J. had considerably increased his quota and kept up

129:2.11 kept up this extra contribution until he was married.

134:1.1 After talking with James and J. (who chanced to be

134:1.4 and J. had for some time wanted to get married,
