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. and the seven spent two evenings each week at the
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
137:8.3 pleased that J. was willing to conduct the service.
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 in Philip’s foolish questions than in the sermon he
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
139:5.9 at Jerusalem, saying: “Sir, we desire to see J..”

139:6.1 Nathaniel was brought to J. by his friend Philip.
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
139:7.3 That Matthew, a publican, had been taken in by J.
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 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.
139:8.12 If J. and his work had not been genuine, it could

139:8.13 begun the writing of the life and teachings of J..
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

140:7.8 the charmingly beautiful life he lived with them.
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 exalted family life as the highest human duty but
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 made no direct attack on the possession of
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 The teachings of J. constitute a religion of valor,
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 he understood their enslaving bondage to religious
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
140:8.30 He was liberal, big-hearted, learned, and tolerant.
140:8.31 J. wished to develop spiritual insight into eternal
140:8.31 he concerned himself exclusively with the underlying
140:8.31 He revealed a goodness equal to God.
140:8.31 He exalted love—truth, beauty, and goodness—as the

140:9.2 J. reviewed many features of the ordination sermon,
140:9.2 he commissioned them to go forth in the world as
140:9.3 J. advised them to take neither money nor extra
140:10.1 J. talked at great length, trying to show the twelve
140:10.1 But J. would reiterate, “In the kingdom you must be

140:10.3 that he was doing a work on this world but for all
140:10.3 J. lived his earth life on Urantia, not to set a
140:10.4 Thomas asked J.: “Master, you say that we must
140:10.5 J. placed emphasis on the individual, not on the
140:10.5 J. had the talk with Matthew in which he explained
140:10.5 he explained that the morality of any act is
140:10.5 The golden rule as restated by J. demands active
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,
141:0.2 And J., going back with Andrew to join the twelve,
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.
141:1.2 assembled in a camp near where J. and the twelve
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
141:1.3 he told the twelve about the forty days which he
141:1.4 a stumbling stone to John’s followers that J., if he
141:1.4 why J. did not prevent the cruel death of their

141:3.1 preach twice daily to the multitude, and J. preached
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 J. told his associates about the forms of affliction
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
141:6.1 Simon brought to J. one Teherma, a Persian doing
141:6.1 Teherma had heard of J. and had come to
141:6.1 learning that J. had gone with his apostles down
141:6.1 After talking with J., the Persian signified his
141:6.2 When Simon and J. were alone, Simon asked 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
141:6.5 they were very much disappointed that J. would give
141:7.1 J., his apostles, and a large group of followers
141:7.1 J. with his apostles remained here, teaching for four
141:7.2 J. took Peter, James, and John into the hills across
141:7.3 J. endeavored to make clear that he desired his
141:7.4 these essential revelations are accomplished in J..
141:7.4 He became, indeed, “the way, the truth, and the

141:7.4 he left behind no books, laws, or other forms of

141:7.5 The only reward which he held out for his children
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 J. assigned to the twelve a topic for discussion.
143:3.4 shocked when J. even neglected to give thanks—
143:3.4 —when he broke bread for their noontide lunch.

143:5.1 J., being weary from the journey, tarried by the
143:5.1 remained with J., but he requested that they go
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 would have a sympathetic hearing at Cana, for J.
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

146:6.3 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

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.,
147:3.2 John had brought J. to the pool thinking that the

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
147:6.2 for the purpose of deciding what to do with J..

147:6.3 J. called Andrew into his presence and before
147:6.4 to wait for their opportunity to accuse J. and his
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.
147:6.6 It consisted in what he did and in what he affirmed.

147:8.1 He began this special instruction by quoting from

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 ask J. why he was absent so much from their midst,
148:3.2 he would invariably answer that he was “about the

148:3.3 He had released Peter, James, and John temporarily
148:3.3 for close association and intimate contact with J..
148:3.4 the human J. chose to designate such activities on
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
148:9.2 he ceased speaking, while those who were with him
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 J., perceiving in his spirit that they thus reasoned
148:9.3 And when J. had thus spoken, the paralytic arose,
148:9.4 three of the spying Pharisees confessed faith in J.

149:1.1 the fame of J., particularly as a healer, had spread to
149:1.1 J. did not deliberately perform any so-called miracles
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 And when Amos heard J. speak these words,
151:6.5 were astonished to see the lunatic sitting with J.
151:6.6 presence of J. and the supposed miraculous curing
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 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

152:1.2 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 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
152:5.2 J. asked Andrew to assemble the twelve apostles
152:5.5 J. then announced that he wished to withdraw for
152:5.5 he forbade any of the disciples or the multitude to
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.
153:0.2 that “he did not have the courage and daring to

153:1.1 been made by the populace to proclaim J. the king
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

153:1.5 before J. began to speak, there was just one great

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
153:3.6 it had been reported that J. had said, “Salvation is
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
154:2.3 and while he went about alone much of the time,
154:2.3 from their chief respecting the safeguarding of J..
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
154:7.1 J. engaged in this hasty flight from the Sanhedrin
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
155:5.14 but he raised his hand and stopped them, saying: “Go

155:5.16 Peter, going up to J., said: “Master, you have

155:6.19 And when J. had finished speaking, he beckoned to
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 Karuska, explaining that he desired to have a rest.
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
156:1.7 As Norana and the child took leave, J. entreated
156:1.7 J. found it advisable to change his lodgings within
156:1.8 as J. taught his apostles, commenting on the cure of
156:2.1 J. and his associates passed over a bridge, the first
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
156:2.5 and that he did not seek to become a martyr.
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 enjoyed the keen sense of humor which
156:2.8 J. greatly regretted that his people—the Jews—were
156:3.1 J. left them for a period of three or four days,
156:3.1 where he visited with a Syrian named Malach, who
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
156:5.2 J. made use of his first and only parable having to
156:5.3 asked J.: “Master, why do we pray that God will
156:5.22 And many other things J. taught them before they
156:5.23 The day before J. left Tyre for the return to the
156:5.23 he called his associates together and directed the
156:5.23 that which he and the twelve apostles were to take.
156:5.23 after the evangelists here left J., they were never
156:6.1 J. and the twelve left the home of Joseph, south of
156:6.5 While J. was absent from Capernaum and Galilee,
156:6.5 indicated he was so thoroughly frightened that he
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..
156:6.8 on learning that J. was sojourning across the lake in
156:6.8 J. would not be molested if he remained outside of
157:0.1 Before J. took the twelve for a short sojourn in the
157:0.1 he arranged through the messengers of David to go
157:0.1 —and J. went with Andrew and Peter to keep this
157:0.1 the Pharisees, knowing that J. was on the opposite
157:0.1 concluded that J. must have been expected to pay
157:0.1 from attempting to keep their appointment with J..
157:0.1 of the Pharisees in their efforts to send word to J.,
157:0.2 David’s messengers brought J. word that Pharisees
157:0.2 therefore he made no attempt to visit his family.
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.
157:1.2 When Peter told J. about the collector and that he
157:1.4 J. having thus spoken, and Peter so soon
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
157:2.2 When J. had thus spoken, he withdrew and
157:2.2 villages of the Decapolis as soon as J. and the
157:3.1 J. and the twelve apostles left Magadan Park for
157:3.2 J had gone to Mount Hermon in his early experience
157:3.2 now that he was entering upon the final epoch of
157:3.2 J. desired to return to this mount of trial and triumph
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
157:3.4 J. had spent long months in training these apostles as
157:3.4 he well knew the time had come when he must begin
157:3.4 when he must begin to teach them more about his
157:3.5 They told him that he was regarded as a prophet or
157:3.5 that he was in league with the prince of devils.
157:3.5 believed he was John the Baptist risen from the dead
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.
158:1.9 “J., 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 Bethany he spent considerable time with his
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 fear that Lazarus would not be presentable to J.,
168:1.12 Martha thought maybe J. wanted only to take one
168:1.13 When J. had finished speaking, his apostles, with the
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 He never made other pronouncements about his

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
172:5.13 a certain episode which occurred just as J. reached
172:5.13 as he rides through the gates of Jerusalem seated on
172:5.13 cheer up and join us all while we acclaim this J. of
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 J. beckoned to his apostles and indicated that he
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 the progress of the plan to arrest and kill 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

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

180:5.8 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,

181:1.8 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

182:0.2 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 but for his great desire to be near J. and to know
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

182:3.6 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

182:3.9 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 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 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

183:3.5 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

183:3.9 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 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,

183:5.4 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
186:3.1 after J. was turned over to the Roman soldiers at

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
187:3.1 this Friday morning, J. was hung upon the cross.
187:3.2 These and other friends of J. held their peace while
187:3.4 Inasmuch as J. would make no reply to their taunts,
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 J. began to fail in human consciousness. His last
187:5.2 the human mind of J. resorted to the repetition of
187:5.2 The last conscious thought of the human J. was
187:5.2 J. was too weak to utter the words as these passages
187:5.2 these passages, which he so well knew by heart,
187:5.2 J. did not for one moment entertain the slightest
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 He did not feel that the Father had forsaken him;
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 Soon after the burial of J. on Friday afternoon, the
189:0.1 of a possible technique for the restoration of J..
189:0.1 the Personalized Adjuster of J., being in personal
189:0.2 That which you observe is the mortal transit of J.
189:0.2 The spirit transit of this J. was completed at the
189:0.3 They saw the mortal body of J. in the tomb; they
189:1.1 resurrected morontia form and personality of J. of
189:1.2 After the resurrected J. emerged from his burial
189:1.2 body of flesh in which he had lived and wrought
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
189:1.10 J. spoke the first words of the postmortal career.
189:1.11 After J. had spoken, he signaled to the Personalized
189:1.12 J. now began the contacts of the morontia level,
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..
189:2.1 mandate giving custody of the mortal 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.
189:3.4 Gabriel remained on Urantia with the morontia 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
189:4.11 eyes were enabled to see the morontia form of J.
189:4.11 the morontia personalities then accompanying J..
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
192:4.3 “We affirm that J. of Nazareth is not dead;
192:4.3 we declare that he has risen from the tomb;
192:4.3 the fifteenth morontia manifestation of the risen J..
192:4.7 —into the proclamation of the resurrection of J..
192:4.8 gradually and certainly changing the religion of J.
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
193:5.3 This so-called ascension of J was in no way different
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
194:3.9 indicate the universality of the religion of J..
194:3.9 great effort of the spirit to liberate the religion of J.
194:3.11 J. had already taught his followers that his religion
194:3.11 Deity as the “God and Father of the Lord JC..”
194:3.12 J. of Nazareth and his gospel of overcoming evil
194:3.14 Before the teachings of J. which culminated in
194:3.14 among the followers of J. woman has been forever
194:3.15 Both the mother and brother of J. were present
194:3.16 Pentecost the apostles had given up much for J..
194:3.19 Pentecost, then and now, signifies that the J. of
194:4.1 When J. was so suddenly seized by his enemies and
194:4.4 What has happened to these men whom J. had
194:4.4 risen Christ: “J. of Nazareth, a man God approved
194:4.4 by the mouth of all the prophets, he thus fulfilled.
194:4.4 This J. did God raise up. God has made him Lord
194:4.4 he has poured forth this which you see and hear.
194:4.4 Christ, who has been appointed for you, even J.,
194:4.5 the message of J., had been suddenly changed into
194:4.5 suddenly changed into the gospel of the Lord JC..
194:4.5 return to this world to finish the work he began.
194:4.6 J. lives; he died for men; he gave the spirit; he is
194:4.6 he is coming again.
194:4.6 J. filled all their thoughts and determined all their
194:4.6 doctrine that “God is the Father of the Lord J.” to
194:4.6 But it was a fellowship of believers in J., not a
194:4.6 all men were attracted to their teachings about J..
194:4.7 They confidently expected that J. would return to
194:4.7 believed that he was to return any day to finish his
194:4.9 At first they baptized in the name of J.; it was almost

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

196:2.0 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 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

196:2.11 J. offered no rules for social advancement; his was
196:3.19 J. revealed and exemplified a religion of love:

95:5.8 inspiration of the later superb family life of the J.
95:6.6 the J were under the political and cultural dominance
96:0.1 The J. synthesized all gods into their more sublime

97:9.27 the idea that the J. must become the chosen servants
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.
97:10.1 they had promised the J. that, if they would fulfill

97:10.2 When the J. had been freed by the Persians, they
97:10.2 they returned to Palestine only to fall into bondage

121:7.1 the J. had arrived at a settled concept of their origin,
121:7.1 They had built up a rigid wall of separation between
121:7.1 they looked on all gentile ways with utter contempt.
121:7.1 They worshiped the letter of the law and indulged a

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—

122:4.2 Jesus was not such a Messiah as the J. anticipated,

122:7.1 The J. had always been greatly prejudiced against
122:8.6 to appear on earth as a babe and among the J..
122:9.1 Moses had taught the J. that every first-born son
123:2.5 These J. had a systematic program for rearing and
123:2.13 It was the custom of the Galilean J. for the mother

132:7.5 the J. have a God but are largely without a

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..

136:9.2 The J. envisaged a deliverer who would come in
136:9.2 to cast down Israel’s enemies and establish 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.

139:7.10 certain unbelieving J. conspired with the Roman
139:11.6 dealing with the legalistic minds of the educated J.
140:9.3 while you go first to the J., then to the gentiles.”
141:4.1 The J. had long conceived of God as a king over
142:0.1 many prominent J. came in secret to interview him.
142:1.6 rulers of the J. became much concerned about Jesus

143:4.1 For more than six hundred years the J. of Judea,
143:4.1 This ill feeling between the J. and the Samaritans
143:4.1 carried into captivity over twenty-five thousand J. of
143:4.2 enmity between the J. and the Samaritans dated
143:4.2 offended the J. by extending friendly assistance to
143:4.3 The antagonisms between the J. and the Samaritans
143:5.1 only our brethren, the J., seek to harm us.”
143:5.6 The J. at least know whom they worship; they
144:3.13 the J. had some twenty-five or thirty set prayers

156:6.8 Antipas communicated this same ruling to the J. at

162:3.3 denied the J. the right to inflict the death penalty

167:4.6 It was the custom of the J. at that time to speak of

139:4.1 When he became an apostle, J. was twenty-four
139:4.1 He was unmarried and lived with his parents at
139:4.1 he was a fisherman and worked with his brother
139:4.1 J. functioned as the personal agent of Jesus in
139:4.1 continued to bear this responsibility as long as Mary
139:4.2 Since J. was the youngest of the twelve and so
139:4.2 he was very dear to the Master, but it cannot be
139:4.2 said that he was “the disciple whom Jesus loved.”
139:4.2 J. was one of the three personal aides of Jesus
139:4.2 J., along with his brother James, had known Jesus
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
139:4.4 it is not strange that he should have come to regard
139:4.4 he most certainly knew he was the disciple whom
139:4.5 strongest trait in J.’ character was his dependability;
139:4.5 he was prompt and courageous, faithful and
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
139:4.5 who joined the ranks of Jesus’ apostles when he was
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;
139:4.7 he never fully mastered this reticence.
139:4.7 But he was gifted with a remarkable and creative
139:4.8 There was another side to J. that one would not
139:4.8 He was somewhat bigoted and inordinately
139:4.8 In this respect he and James were much alike—
139:4.8 When J. encountered strangers teaching in Jesus’
139:4.8 teaching in Jesus’ name, he promptly forbade them.
139:4.8 But he was not the only one of the twelve who was
139:4.9 J.’ life was tremendously influenced by the sight
139:4.9 he knew how faithfully Jesus had made provision for
139:4.9 J. also deeply sympathized with Jesus because of
139:4.9 trust, made such a profound impression on J. that
139:4.10 J. had a cool and daring courage which few of the
139:4.10 He was the one apostle who followed right along
139:4.10 He was present and near at hand right up to the
139:4.10 One thing is certain, J. was thoroughly dependable
139:4.10 J. usually sat on Jesus’ right hand when the twelve
139:4.10 He was the first of the twelve really and fully to
139:4.10 he was the first to recognize the Master when he
139:4.11 He was the right-hand support of Peter on the day of
139:4.12 the martyrdom of James, J. married his brother’s
139:4.12 he was cared for by a loving granddaughter.
139:4.13 J. was in prison several times and was banished to

139:4.13 J., together with James the Lord’s brother, learned
139:4.13 J. found that a “soft answer turns away wrath.”
139:4.13 J. learned to represent the church as a “spiritual
139:4.13 J. taught loving service rather than ruling power—
139:4.14 in exile on Patmos, J. wrote the Book of Revelation,
139:4.14 which were removed, subsequent to J.’ writing.
139:4.15 J. traveled much, labored incessantly, and after
139:4.15 He directed his associate, Nathan, in the writing of
139:4.15 the writing of the so-called “Gospel according to J.,”
139:4.15 at Ephesus, when he was ninety-nine years old.
139:4.15 J. eventually became the outstanding theologian.
139:4.15 He died a natural death at Ephesus in A.D. 103 when
139:4.15 when he was one hundred and one years of age.
139:5.1 James, and J. had accepted Jesus as the Deliverer.
139:5.9 This was done by Peter and J., who presently
139:6.6 away on the mountain with Peter, James, and J.,
139:9.1 and tenth apostles and were chosen by James and J.
139:9.11 and (save J.) the twins were the first to believe in his
140:0.2 Jesus signaled to James and J., who were in a boat
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

147:3.2 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

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,

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.

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

182:2.2 and J., saying, “I desire that you remain with me

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

183:3.2 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

183:5.4 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 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

184:4.2 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:
186:0.1 “J., 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 Baptist—the forerunner of Michael’s 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 Jesus’ lifework on Urantia was really begun by J.
122:2.1 J.’ father, belonged to the Jewish priesthood,
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.
135:0.4 Since J. was an only child, they spent a great deal of
135:1.0 1. JOHN BECOMES A NAZARITE
135:1.1 J. had no school from which to graduate at the age
135:1.1 J. completed the making of the offerings which
135:1.2 J took the same life vows that had been administered
135:1.3 J. returned home from Jerusalem to tend his father’s
135:1.4 J., as a result of reading about Elijah, became greatly
135:1.4 J. always wore a hairy garment with a leather girdle.
135:1.4 At sixteen he was more than six feet tall and almost
135:1.4 With his peculiar mode of dress he was indeed a

135:2.1 This was a time of great embarrassment to J. since
135:2.1 J. had endeavored to comply with the restrictions of
135:2.1 he doubted that he had been wholly obedient to the
135:2.1 after his father’s burial he went to Jerusalem, where,
135:2.1 he offered the sacrifices required for his cleansing.
135:2.2 J. made a journey to Nazareth to visit Mary and
135:2.2 J. had just about made up his mind to launch out in
135:2.2 but he was admonished, not only by Jesus’ words
135:2.2 J. did not again see Jesus until the event of his
135:2.3 J. and Elizabeth returned to their home and began
135:2.3 Since J. refused to accept the priest’s allowance

135:2.3 In the so-called “wilderness of Judea” J. tended
135:2.4 As time passed, J. returned less often to Hebron,
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
135:2.4 But he was very fond of Abner, the acknowledged
135:3.1 Along the valley of this little brook J. built no less
135:3.1 he could watch over and safeguard his herds of
135:3.1 J.’ life as a shepherd afforded him a great deal of

135:3.2 he was to become the herald of the approach of a

135:3.2 He believed that Rome was even then divided, as
135:3.2 then he further read “in the days of these kings
135:3.3 J. was never able completely to rise above the
135:3.3 confusion produced by what he had heard from his
135:3.3 by these passages which he read in the Scriptures.
135:3.3 In Daniel he read: “I saw in the night visions, and,
135:3.3 the time of his visit when he was eighteen years old,
135:3.3 and that he (J.) was to become his advance herald
135:3.4 From all J. heard of the vice and wickedness of
135:3.4 from what he knew of the evil doings of Herod
135:3.4 he was minded to believe that the end of the age
135:3.4 The feeling grew in J.’ heart that he was to be the
135:3.4 he fairly vibrated with the mounting impulse to go
135:4.1 when J. was twenty-eight years of age, his mother
135:4.1 for the burial of Elizabeth before sending for J..
135:4.1 When he received word of the death of his mother,
135:4.1 he directed Ezda to drive his herds to Engedi and
135:4.2 he presented his flocks to the brotherhood and for a
135:4.2 from the outside world while he fasted and prayed.
135:4.2 J. knew only of the old methods of approach to
135:4.2 he knew only of the records of such as Elijah,
135:4.2 J. truly believed that he was to be the last of this

135:4.4 J. read much in the sacred writings which he
135:4.4 he found at the Engedi home of the Nazarites.
135:4.4 He was especially impressed by Isaiah and by
135:4.4 He read and reread the last five chapters of Isaiah,
135:4.4 chapters of Isaiah, and he believed these prophecies.
135:4.4 Then he would read in Malachi: “Behold, I will send
135:4.4 that Elijah would return that deterred J. from

135:4.4 He knew he was not Elijah.
135:4.4 How could he know the truth?
135:4.4 He finally dared to think that, since the first of the
135:4.4 he had doubts, doubts sufficient to prevent his
135:4.5 It was the influence of Elijah that caused J. to adopt
135:4.5 He sought to dress like Elijah, and he endeavored
135:4.5 he endeavored to talk like Elijah;
135:4.5 every outward aspect he was like the olden prophet.
135:4.5 He was just such a stalwart and picturesque child of
135:4.5 J. was not illiterate, he did well know the Jewish
135:4.5 Jewish sacred writings, but he was hardly cultured.
135:4.5 He was a clear thinker, a powerful speaker, and fiery
135:4.5 He was hardly an example to his age, but he was
135:4.5 but he was an eloquent rebuke.
135:4.6 At last he thought out the method of proclaiming the

135:6.1 J. journeyed around the western coast of the Dead
135:6.1 he established himself near the entrance to the ford
135:6.2 It was apparent to all who heard J. that he was more
135:6.2 Never in all Jewish history could J.’ message, “the

135:6.3 He came from the herdsmen, like Amos.
135:6.3 He was dressed like Elijah of old,

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

135:10.2 ford of the Jordan, where J. had begun his preaching

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
135:12.5 set herself to the task of having J. put to death by

136:0.1 the height of the popular interest in J.’ preaching
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
136:0.1 the kingdom of heaven was indeed greater than J..
136:0.2 When J. preached the coming kingdom, the burden
136:1.2 In the days of J. and Jesus the more learned Jews
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
136:2.1 Jesus in no sense received J.’ baptism as a rite of
136:2.1 In accepting baptism at the hands of J., Jesus was

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

137:1.8 John, Andrew, and Simon held converse with J.,
137:2.1 Jesus took leave of J. by the river near Pella, never
137:2.2 was a great tumult in the camp of J.’ followers.
137:2.2 J. had made his positive pronouncement to
137:2.2 This Jesus is a relative of J., and through much
137:2.2 When J. rebuked Ezra for these utterances, he

137:2.2 founded a sect of those who believed in J. but
137:2.3 trouble was brewing among J.’ followers, Jesus

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

144:9.0 9. DEATH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST
144:9.1 J. was executed by order of Herod Antipas on
144:9.1 J.’ disciples who had gone to Machaerus heard of

144:9.1 Pella, and they told Jesus about the death of J..
144:9.1 calling the twenty-four together, said: “J. is dead.

157:4.1 Since the occasions of Jesus’ baptism by J. and
157:7.2 Judas had been shocked by the death of J.,

139:12.3 he discharged the responsibilities of his office

139:12.5 The apostles loved J.; he was really one of them.
139:12.5 He must have believed in Jesus, but we doubt

139:12.9 His feelings had been many times hurt,
139:12.9 he grew abnormally suspicious of his best friends,

143:3.5 J. was suffering from a periodic attack of

157:7.2 J. had been shocked by the death of John the

157:7.3 they must have loved the Master more than did J.,
157:7.4 Being from Judea, J. took personal offense at
157:7.4 he was disposed to regard this statement as a veiled
157:7.4 But the great mistake of J. was: Time and again,
157:7.4 his apostles off by themselves to pray, J., instead
157:7.4 he persisted in the entertainment of subtle doubts
158:4.6 JI. stepped into the presence of the father, saying:

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

173:0.2 one thought uppermost in the minds of all save JI.,

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
177:4.8 “J., 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
186:1.2 “J., 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.
Jude—the 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,
134:1.4 So Simon and J. were married at a double wedding
135:8.2 Jesus’ brothers James and J. had talked about
135:8.2 that J. had come over to Capernaum for the Sabbath
135:8.2 he and James, after listening to Jesus’ discourse in
135:8.2 James and J. had arrived with the lunch and were
135:8.3 James and J., repeating, “My hour has come—let us
135:8.6 baptize Jesus and his two brothers James and J..
135:9.8 brothers James and J. having returned to Capernaum
137:3.1 Jesus, stopping at Magdala to see his brother J..
137:3.3 J. was present at Jesus’ baptism and, with James
137:3.3 James and J. were much perplexed as to the nature
137:3.5 the many questions which his mother, James, J., and
137:4.5 James and J. tried to comfort their mother, while
137:5.1 and J., Jesus’ youngest brother, set out in search
137:5.2 six apostles were present at this meeting; J. arrived
137:5.2 while he walked and talked with his brother J..
137:5.2 before J. took leave of Jesus, he said with much
137:5.2 he said with much feeling: “My father-brother, I
137:5.2 And when he had spoken, he departed, going to his
137:6.1 them were his brothers in the flesh James and J..
137:6.4 and his apostles, with James and J., entered a boat
137:7.1 family, J. seldom was able to attend these classes.
138:0.1 His brothers James and J. were very much hurt
138:0.1 This failure to include James and J. among the
145:5.9 his brothers James and J. came to see him, calling
145:5.9 J. had sought out his brother James and insisted that
145:5.9 By the time James consented to go with J., Jesus had
150:1.1 Andrew and Peter; Rachel, the sister-in-law of J.,
154:5.1 When the sister-in-law of J. (Jesus’ brother) heard
154:5.1 assembled Mary, James, Joseph, J., and Ruth.
154:6.1 to the urgent summons of J.’ sister-in-law.
154:6.1 J. and James, and even Joseph, still retained much
154:6.1 when the word came from J.’ sister-in-law, all five
154:6.2 James and J. had heard rumors concerning the
157:0.1 David Zebedee had arranged with J., Jesus’
157:0.1 J. and Ruth endeavored to elude the vigilance of
183:4.7 J., Jesus’ brother in the flesh, arrived in the camp,
183:4.7 he hastened back down the Jericho road to carry this
183:4.7 David Zebedee sent word to Jesus’ family, by J.,
186:0.3 to accompany her mother, her brother J. went with
187:2.7 and J., arrived on the scene just after Jesus had been
187:3.2 during the crucifixion were Mary, Ruth, J., John,
187:4.7 Mary’s son J. stood on the other side.
187:4.7 so John and J. led Mary away from Golgotha.
