P.1698 – \u00a71 The story of the cure of Amos,
\nthe Kheresa lunatic, had already reached Bethsaida and Capernaum, so that
\na great crowd was waiting for Jesus when his boat landed that Tuesday forenoon.
\nAmong this throng were the new observers from the Jerusalem Sanhedrin who
\nhad come down to Capernaum to find cause for the Master’s apprehension and
\nconviction. As Jesus spoke with those who had assembled to greet him, Jairus,
\none of the rulers of the synagogue, made his way through the crowd and,
\nfalling down at his feet, took him by the hand and besought that he would
\nhasten away with him, saying: “Master, my little daughter, an only
\nchild, lies in my home at the point of death. I pray that you will come
\nand heal her.” When Jesus heard the request of this father, he said:
\n“I will go with you.”

P.1698 – \u00a72 As Jesus went along with Jairus, the
\nlarge crowd which had heard the father’s request followed on to see what
\nwould happen. Shortly before they reached the ruler’s house, as they hastened
\nthrough a narrow street and as the throng jostled him, Jesus suddenly
\nstopped, exclaiming, “Someone touched me.” And when those who
\nwere near him denied that they had touched him, Peter spoke up: “Master,
\nyou can see that this crowd presses you, threatening to crush us, and
\nyet you say `someone has touched me.’ What do you mean?” Then Jesus
\nsaid: “I asked who touched me, for I perceived that living energy
\nhad gone forth from me.” <\/font><\/p>\n

As Jesus looked about him, his eyes fell
\nupon a near-by woman, who, coming forward, knelt at his feet and said:
\n“For years I have been afflicted with a scourging hemorrhage. I have
\nsuffered many things from many physicians; I have spent all my substance,
\nbut none could cure me. Then I heard of you, and I thought if I may but
\ntouch the hem of his garment, I shall certainly be made whole. And so
\nI pressed forward with the crowd as it moved along until, standing near
\nyou, Master, I touched the border of your garment, and I was made whole;
\nI know that I have been healed of my affliction.”

P.1698 – \u00a73 When Jesus heard this, he took the woman
\nby the hand and, lifting her up, said: “Daughter, your faith has
\nmade you whole; go in peace.” It was her faith and not her touch
\nthat made her whole. And this case is a good illustration of many apparently
\nmiraculous cures which attended upon Jesus’ earth career, but which he
\nin no sense consciously willed. The passing of time demonstrated that
\nthis woman was really cured of her malady. Her faith was of the sort that
\nlaid direct hold upon the creative power resident in the Master’s person.
\nWith the faith she had, it was only necessary to approach the Master’s
\nperson. It was not at all necessary to touch his garment; that was merely
\nthe superstitious part of her belief. Jesus called this woman, Veronica

\nhonored, or that her superstition in associating the touch of his garment
\nwith her healing had been effective. He desired all to know that it was
\nher pure and living faith that had wrought the cure.

1. AT JAIRUS’S HOUSE – P.1699
\n<\/p>\n

P.1699 – \u00a71 Jairus was, of course, terribly impatient of this delay
\nin reaching his home; so they now hastened on at quickened pace. Even
\nbefore they entered the ruler’s yard, one of his servants came out, saying:
\n“Trouble not the Master; your daughter is dead.” But Jesus seemed
\nnot to heed the servant’s words, for, taking with him Peter, James, and
\nJohn, he turned and said to the grief-stricken father: “Fear not;
\nonly believe.” When he entered the house, he found the flute-players
\nalready there with the mourners, who were making an unseemly tumult; already
\nwere the relatives engaged in weeping and wailing.<\/p>\n

And when he had put
\nall the mourners out of the room, he went in with the father and mother
\nand his three apostles. He had told the mourners that the damsel was not
\ndead, but they laughed him to scorn. Jesus now turned to the mother, saying:
\n“Your daughter is not dead; she is only asleep.” And when the
\nhouse had quieted down, Jesus, going up to where the child lay, took her
\nby the hand and said, “Daughter, I say to you, awake and arise!”
\nAnd when the girl heard these words, she immediately rose up and walked
\nacross the room. And presently, after she had recovered from her daze,
\nJesus directed that they should give her something to eat, for she had
\nbeen a long time without food.<\/p>\n

P.1699 – \u00a72 Since there was much agitation in Capernaum against
\nJesus, he called the family together and explained that the maiden had
\nbeen in a state of coma following a long fever, and that he had merely
\naroused her, that he had not raised her from the dead. He likewise explained
\nall this to his apostles, but it was futile; they all believed he had
\nraised the little girl from the dead. What Jesus said in explanation of
\nmany of these apparent miracles had little effect on his followers. They
\nwere miracle-minded and lost no opportunity to ascribe another wonder
\nto Jesus. Jesus and the apostles returned to Bethsaida after he had specifically
\ncharged all of them that they should tell no man.<\/p>\n

P.1699 – \u00a73 When he came out of Jairus’s house, two blind men led
\nby a dumb boy followed him and cried out for healing. About this time
\nJesus’ reputation as a healer was at its very height. Everywhere he went
\nthe sick and the afflicted were waiting for him. The Master now looked
\nmuch worn, and all of his friends were becoming concerned lest he continue
\nhis work of teaching and healing to the point of actual collapse.<\/p>\n

P.1699 – \u00a74 Jesus’ apostles, let alone the common people, could
\nnot understand the nature and attributes of this God-man. Neither has
\nany subsequent generation been able to evaluate what took place on earth
\nin the person of Jesus of Nazareth. And there can never occur an opportunity
\nfor either science or religion to check up on these remarkable events
\nfor the simple reason that such an extraordinary situation can never again
\noccur, either on this world or on any other world in Nebadon. Never again,
\non any world in this entire universe, will a being appear in the likeness
\nof mortal flesh, at the same time embodying all<\/p>\n

P.1700 – \u00a71 Never before Jesus was on earth, nor since, has it been
\npossible so directly and graphically to secure the results attendant upon
\nthe strong and living faith of mortal men and women. To repeat these phenomena,
\nwe would have to go into the immediate presence of Michael, the Creator,
\nand find him as he was in those days–the Son of Man. Likewise, today,
\nwhile his absence prevents such material manifestations, you should refrain
\nfrom placing any sort of limitation on the possible exhibition of his
\nspiritual power. Though the Master is absent as a material being, he is
\npresent as a spiritual influence in the hearts of men. By going away from
\nthe world, Jesus made it possible for his spirit to live alongside that
\nof his Father which indwells the minds of all mankind.<\/p>\n

2. FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND – P.1700<\/p>\n

P.1700 – \u00a72 Jesus continued to teach the people by day while he
\ninstructed the apostles and evangelists at night. On Friday he declared
\na furlough of one week that all his followers might go home or to their
\nfriends for a few days before preparing to go up to Jerusalem for the
\nPassover. But more than one half of his disciples refused to leave him,
\nand the multitude was daily increasing in size, so much so that David
\nZebedee desired to establish a new encampment, but Jesus refused consent.<\/p>\n

The Master had so little rest over the Sabbath that on Sunday morning,
\nMarch 27, he sought to get away from the people. Some of the evangelists
\nwere left to talk to the multitude while Jesus and the twelve planned
\nto escape, unnoticed, to the opposite shore of the lake, where they proposed
\nto obtain much needed rest in a beautiful park south of Bethsaida-Julias.
\nThis region was a favorite resorting place for Capernaum folks; they were
\nall familiar with these parks on the eastern shore.<\/p>\n

\ntaken by Jesus’ boat, and hiring every craft available, they started out
\nin pursuit. Those who could not obtain boats fared forth on foot to walk
\naround the upper end of the lake.<\/p>\n

P.1700 – \u00a74 By late afternoon more than a thousand persons had located
\nthe Master in one of the parks, and he spoke to them briefly, being followed
\nby Peter. Many of these people had brought food with them, and after eating
\nthe evening meal, they gathered about in small groups while Jesus’ apostles
\nand disciples taught them.<\/p>\n

P.1700 – \u00a75 Monday afternoon the multitude had increased to more
\nthan three thousand. And still–way into the evening–the people continued
\nto flock in, bringing all manner of sick folks with them. Hundreds of
\ninterested persons had made their plans to stop over at Capernaum to see
\nand hear Jesus on their way to the Passover, and they simply refused to
\nbe disappointed. By Wednesday noon about five thousand men, women, and
\nchildren were assembled here in this park to the south of Bethsaida-Julias.
\nThe weather was pleasant, it being near the end of the rainy season in
\nthis locality.<\/p>\n

<\/font> <\/font><\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

P.1700 – \u00a76 Philip had provided a three days’ supply of food for
\nJesus and the twelve, which was in the custody of the Mark lad, their
\nboy of all chores. By afternoon of this, the third day for almost half
\nof this multitude, the food the people had brought with them was nearly
\nexhausted. David Zebedee had no tented<\/p>\n

P.1701 – \u00a70 city here to feed and accommodate the crowds. Neither
\nhad Philip made food provision for such a multitude. But the people, even
\nthough they were hungry, would not go away. It was being quietly whispered
\nabout that Jesus, desiring to avoid trouble with both Herod and the Jerusalem
\nleaders, had chosen this quiet spot outside the jurisdiction of all his
\nenemies as the proper place to be crowned king.<\/p>\n

The enthusiasm of the
\npeople was rising every hour. Not a word was said to Jesus, though, of
\ncourse, he knew all that was going on. Even the twelve apostles were still
\ntainted with such notions, and especially the younger evangelists. The
\napostles who favored this attempt to proclaim Jesus king were Peter, John,
\nSimon Zelotes, and Judas Iscariot. Those opposing the plan were Andrew,
\nJames, Nathaniel, and Thomas. Matthew, Philip, and the Alpheus twins were
\nnoncommittal. The ringleader of this plot to make him king was Joab, one
\nof the young evangelists.<\/p>\n

P.1701 – \u00a71 This was the stage setting about five o’clock on Wednesday
\nafternoon, when Jesus asked James Alpheus to summon Andrew and Philip.
\nSaid Jesus: “What shall we do with the multitude? They have been
\nwith us now three days, and many of them are hungry. They have no food.”
\nPhilip and Andrew exchanged glances, and then Philip answered: “Master,
\nyou should send these people away so that they may go to the villages
\naround about and buy themselves food.” And Andrew, fearing the materialization
\nof the king plot, quickly joined with Philip, saying: “Yes, Master,
\nI think it best that you dismiss the multitude so that they may go their
\nway and buy food while you secure rest for a season.” By this time
\nothers of the twelve had joined the conference. Then said Jesus: “But
\nI do not desire to send them away hungry; can you not feed them?”
\nThis was too much for Philip, and he spoke right up: “Master, in
\nthis country place where can we buy bread for this multitude? Two hundred
\ndenarii worth would not be enough for lunch.”

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

P.1701 – \u00a72 Before the apostles had an opportunity to express themselves,
\nJesus turned to Andrew and Philip, saying: “I do not want to send
\nthese people away. Here they are, like sheep without a shepherd. I would
\nlike to feed them. What food have we with us?” While Philip was conversing
\nwith Matthew and Judas, Andrew sought out the Mark lad to ascertain how
\nmuch was left of their store of provisions. He returned to Jesus, saying:
\n“The lad has left only five barley loaves and two dried fishes”–and
\nPeter promptly added, “We have yet to eat this evening.”<\/p>\n

<\/font> <\/font><\/td>\n

 <\/font>fish plural = fish, fishes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/p>\n

P.1701 – \u00a73 For a moment Jesus stood in silence. There was a faraway
\nlook in his eyes. The apostles said nothing. Jesus turned suddenly to
\nAndrew and said, “Bring me the loaves and fishes.” And when
\nAndrew had brought the basket to Jesus, the Master said: “Direct
\nthe people to sit down on the grass in companies of one hundred and appoint
\na leader over each group while you bring all of the evangelists here with
\nus.”<\/p>\n

<\/font> <\/font><\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/p>\n

P.1701 – \u00a74 Jesus took up the loaves in his hands, and after he had
\ngiven thanks, he broke the bread and gave to his apostles, who passed
\nit on to their associates, who in turn carried it to the multitude. Jesus
\nin like manner broke and distributed the fishes. And this multitude did
\neat and were filled. And when they had finished eating, Jesus said to
\nthe disciples: “Gather up the broken pieces that remain over so that
\nnothing will be lost.” And when they had finished gathering up the
\nfragments, they had twelve basketfuls. They who ate of this extraordinary
\nfeast numbered about five thousand men, women, and children.<\/p>\n

P.1702 – \u00a71 And this is the first and only nature miracle which
\nJesus performed as a result of his conscious preplanning. It is true that
\nhis disciples were disposed to call many things miracles which were not,
\nbut this was a genuine supernatural ministration. In this case, so we
\nwere taught, Michael multiplied food elements as he always does except
\nfor the elimination of the time factor and the visible life channel.<\/p>\n

3. THE KING-MAKING EPISODE – P.1702
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1702 – \u00a72 The feeding of the five thousand by supernatural
\nenergy was another of those cases where human pity plus creative power
\nequaled that which happened. Now that the multitude had been fed to the
\nfull, and since Jesus’ fame was then and there augmented by this stupendous
\nwonder, the project to seize the Master and proclaim him king required
\nno further personal direction. The idea seemed to spread through the crowd
\nlike a contagion. The reaction of the multitude to this sudden and spectacular
\nsupplying of their physical needs was profound and overwhelming. For a
\nlong time the Jews had been taught that the Messiah, the son of David,
\nwhen he should come, would cause the land again to flow with milk and
\nhoney, and that the bread of life would be bestowed upon them as manna
\nfrom heaven was supposed to have fallen upon their forefathers in the
\nwilderness. <\/font><\/p>\n

And was not all of this expectation now fulfilled right before
\ntheir eyes? When this hungry, undernourished multitude had finished gorging
\nitself with the wonder-food, there was but one unanimous reaction: “Here
\nis our king.” The wonder-working deliverer of Israel had come. In
\nthe eyes of these simple-minded people the power to feed carried with
\nit the right to rule. No wonder, then, that the multitude, when it had
\nfinished feasting, rose as one man and shouted, “Make him king!”

P.1702 – \u00a73 This mighty shout enthused Peter and
\nthose of the apostles who still retained the hope of seeing Jesus assert
\nhis right to rule. But these false hopes were not to live for long. This
\nmighty shout of the multitude had hardly ceased to reverberate from the
\nnear-by rocks when Jesus stepped upon a huge stone and, lifting up his
\nright hand to command their attention, said: “My children, you mean
\nwell, but you are short-sighted and material-minded.” There was a
\nbrief pause; this stalwart Galilean was there majestically posed in the
\nenchanting glow of that eastern twilight. Every inch he looked a king
\nas he continued to speak to this breathless multitude:<\/font><\/p>\n

“You would
\nmake me king, not because your souls have been lighted with a great truth,
\nbut because your stomachs have been filled with bread. How many times
\nhave I told you that my kingdom is not of this world? This kingdom of
\nheaven which we proclaim is a spiritual brotherhood, and no man rules
\nover it seated upon a material throne. My Father in heaven is the all-wise
\nand the all-powerful Ruler over this spiritual brotherhood of the sons
\nof God on earth. Have I so failed in revealing to you the Father of spirits
\nthat you would make a king of his Son in the flesh! Now all of you go
\nhence to your own homes. If you must have a king, let the Father of lights
\nbe enthroned in the heart of each of you as the spirit Ruler of all things.”

P.1702 – \u00a74 These words of Jesus sent the multitude

\nand followed him no more from that day. The apostles were speechless;
\nthey stood in silence gathered about the twelve baskets of the fragments
\nof food; only the chore boy, the Mark
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1703 – \u00a70 lad, spoke, “And he refused to be

4. SIMON PETER’S NIGHT VISION – P.1703
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1703 – \u00a71 The apostles, without their Master–sent
\noff by themselves–entered the boat and in silence began to row toward
\nBethsaida on the western shore of the lake. None of the twelve was so
\ncrushed and downcast as Simon Peter. Hardly a word was spoken; they were
\nall thinking of the Master alone in the hills. Had he forsaken them? He
\nhad never before sent them all away and refused to go with them. What
\ncould all this mean?<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/td>\n

 <\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
 <\/p>\n

P.1703 – \u00a72 Darkness descended upon them, for there
\nhad arisen a strong and contrary wind which made progress almost impossible.
\nAs the hours of darkness and hard rowing passed, Peter grew weary and
\nfell into a deep sleep of exhaustion. Andrew and James put him to rest
\non the cushioned seat in the stern of the boat. While the other apostles
\ntoiled against the wind and the waves, Peter dreamed a dream; he saw a
\nvision of Jesus coming to them walking on the sea. When the Master seemed
\nto walk on by the boat, Peter cried out, “Save us, Master, save us.”
\nAnd those who were in the rear of the boat heard him say some of these
\nwords. <\/font><\/p>\n

As this apparition of the night season continued in Peter’s mind,
\nhe dreamed that he heard Jesus say: “Be of good cheer; it is I; be
\nnot afraid.” This was like the balm of Gilead to Peter’s disturbed
\nsoul; it soothed his troubled spirit, so that (in his dream) he cried
\nout to the Master: “Lord, if it really is you, bid me come and walk
\nwith you on the water.” And when Peter started to walk upon the water,
\nthe boisterous waves frightened him, and as he was about to sink, he cried
\nout, “Lord, save me!” And many of the twelve heard him utter
\nthis cry. Then Peter dreamed that Jesus came to the rescue and, stretching
\nforth his hand, took hold and lifted him up, saying: “O, you of little
\nfaith, wherefore did you doubt?”

P.1703 – \u00a74 To Peter this experience was always real.
\nHe sincerely believed that Jesus came to them that night. He only partially
\nconvinced John Mark, which explains why Mark left a portion of the story
\nout of his narrative. Luke, the physician, who made careful search into
\nthese matters, concluded that the episode was a vision of Peter’s and
\ntherefore refused to give place to this story in the preparation of his

P.1703 – \u00a75 Thursday morning, before daylight, they
\nanchored their boat offshore near Zebedee’s house and sought sleep until
\nabout noontime. Andrew was first up and, going for a walk by the sea,
\nfound Jesus, in company with their chore boy, sitting on a stone by the
\nwater’s edge. Notwithstanding that many of the multitude and the young

P.1704 – \u00a71 Of the five thousand who were miraculously
\nfed, and who, when their stomachs were full and their hearts empty, would
\nhave made him king, only about five hundred persisted in following after
\nhim. But before these received word that he was back in Bethsaida, Jesus
\nasked Andrew to assemble the twelve apostles and their associates, including
\nthe women, saying, “I desire to speak with them.” And when all
\nwere ready, Jesus said:<\/font><\/td>\n		 <\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

P.1704 – \u00a72 “How long shall I bear with you?
\nAre you all slow of spiritual comprehension and deficient in living faith?
\nAll these months have I taught you the truths of the kingdom, and yet
\nare you dominated by material motives instead of spiritual considerations.
\nHave you not even read in the Scriptures where Moses exhorted the unbelieving
\nchildren of Israel, saying: `Fear not, stand still and see the salvation

P.1704 – \u00a73 “And now do you all see that the
\nworking of miracles and the performance of material wonders will not win
\nsouls for the spiritual kingdom? We fed the multitude, but it did not
\nlead them to hunger for the bread of life neither to thirst for the waters
\nof spiritual righteousness. When their hunger was satisfied, they sought
\nnot entrance into the kingdom of heaven but rather sought to proclaim
\nthe Son of Man king after the manner of the kings of this world, only
\nthat they might continue to eat bread without having to toil therefor.
\nAnd all this, in which many of you did more or less participate, does
\nnothing to reveal the heavenly Father or to advance his kingdom on earth.
\nHave we not sufficient enemies among the religious leaders of the land
\nwithout doing that which is likely to estrange also the civil rulers?
\nI pray that the Father will anoint your eyes that you may see and open
\nyour ears that you may hear, to the end that you may have full faith in
\nthe gospel which I have taught you.”<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1704 – \u00a74 Jesus then announced that he wished to
\nwithdraw for a few days of rest with his apostles before they made ready
\nto go up to Jerusalem for the Passover, and he forbade any of the disciples
\nor the multitude to follow him. Accordingly they went by boat to the region
\nof Gennesaret for two or three days of rest and sleep. Jesus was preparing
\nfor a great crisis of his life on earth, and he therefore spent much time
\nin communion with the Father in heaven.
\n<\/font><\/td>\n		 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
 <\/p>\n

P.1704 – \u00a75 The news of the feeding of the five thousand
\nand the attempt to make Jesus king aroused widespread curiosity and stirred
\nup the fears of both the religious leaders and the civil rulers throughout
\nall Galilee and Judea. While this great miracle did nothing to further
\nthe gospel of the kingdom in the souls of material-minded and halfhearted
\nbelievers, it did serve the purpose of bringing to a head the miracle-seeking
\nand king-craving proclivities of Jesus’ immediate family of apostles and
\nclose disciples. This spectacular episode brought an end to the early
\nera of teaching, training, and healing, thereby preparing the way for
\nthe inauguration of this last year of proclaiming the higher and more
\nspiritual phases of the new gospel of the kingdom–divine sonship, spiritual
\nliberty, and eternal salvation.

6. AT GENNESARET – P.1705
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1705 – \u00a71 While resting at the home of a wealthy
\nbeliever in the Gennesaret region, Jesus held informal conferences with
\nthe twelve every afternoon. The ambassadors of the kingdom were a serious,
\nsober, and chastened group of disillusioned men. But even after all that
\nhad happened, and as subsequent events disclosed, these twelve men were
\nnot yet fully delivered from their inbred and long-cherished notions about
\nthe coming of the Jewish Messiah. Events of the preceding few weeks had
\nmoved too swiftly for these astonished fishermen to grasp their full significance.
\nIt requires time for men and women to effect radical and extensive changes
\nin their basic and fundamental concepts of social conduct, philosophic
\nattitudes, and religious convictions.

P.1705 – \u00a72 While Jesus and the twelve were resting
\nat Gennesaret, the multitudes dispersed, some going to their homes, others
\ngoing on up to Jerusalem for the Passover. In less than one month’s time
\nthe enthusiastic and open followers of Jesus, who numbered more than fifty
\nthousand in Galilee alone, shrank to less than five hundred. Jesus desired
\nto give his apostles such an experience with the fickleness of popular
\nacclaim that they would not be tempted to rely on such manifestations
\nof transient religious hysteria after he should leave them alone in the
\nwork of the kingdom, but he was only partially successful in this effort.<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1705 – \u00a73 The second night of their sojourn at
\nGennesaret the Master again told the apostles the parable of the sower
\nand added these words: “You see, my children, the appeal to human
\nfeelings is transitory and utterly disappointing; the exclusive appeal
\nto the intellect of man is likewise empty and barren; it is only by making
\nyour appeal to the spirit which lives within the human mind that you can
\nhope to achieve lasting success and accomplish those marvelous transformations
\nof human character that are presently shown in the abundant yielding of
\nthe genuine fruits of the spirit in the daily lives of all who are thus
\ndelivered from the darkness of doubt by the birth of the spirit into the
\nlight of faith–the kingdom of heaven.”<\/font><\/td>\n		 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
P.1705 – \u00a74 Jesus taught the appeal to the emotions
\nas the technique of arresting and focusing the intellectual attention.
\nHe designated the mind thus aroused and quickened as the gateway to the
\nsoul, where there resides that spiritual nature of man which must recognize
\ntruth and respond to the spiritual appeal of the gospel in order to afford
\nthe permanent results of true character transformations.

P.1705 – \u00a75 Jesus thus endeavored to prepare the
\napostles for the impending shock–the crisis in the public attitude toward
\nhim which was only a few days distant. He explained to the twelve that
\nthe religious rulers of Jerusalem would conspire with Herod Antipas to
\neffect their destruction. The twelve began to realize more fully (though
\nnot finally) that Jesus was not going to sit on David’s throne. They saw
\nmore fully that spiritual truth was not to be advanced by material wonders.
\nThey began to realize that the feeding of the five thousand and the popular
\nmovement to make Jesus king was the apex of the miracle-seeking, wonder-working
\nexpectance of the people and the height of Jesus’ acclaim by the populace.
\nThey vaguely discerned and dimly foresaw the approaching times of spiritual
\nsifting and cruel adversity. These twelve men were
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1706 – \u00a70 slowly awaking to the realization of
\nthe real nature of their task as ambassadors of the kingdom, and they
\nbegan to gird themselves for the trying and testing ordeals of the last

P.1706 – \u00a71 Before they left Gennesaret, Jesus instructed
\nthem regarding the miraculous feeding of the five thousand, telling them
\njust why he engaged in this extraordinary manifestation of creative power
\nand also assuring them that he did not thus yield to his sympathy for
\nthe multitude until he had ascertained that it was “according to
\nthe Father’s will.”

7. AT JERUSALEM – P.1706
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1706 – \u00a72 Sunday, April 3, Jesus, accompanied only
\nby the twelve apostles, started from Bethsaida on the journey to Jerusalem.
\nTo avoid the multitudes and to attract as little attention as possible,
\nthey journeyed by way of Gerasa and Philadelphia. He forbade them to do
\nany public teaching on this trip; neither did he permit them to teach
\nor preach while sojourning in Jerusalem. They arrived at Bethany, near
\nJerusalem, late on Wednesday evening, April 6. For this one night they
\nstopped at the home of Lazarus, Martha, and Mary, but the next day they
\nseparated. Jesus, with John, stayed at the home of a believer named Simon,
\nnear the house of Lazarus in Bethany. Judas Iscariot and Simon Zelotes
\nstopped with friends in Jerusalem, while the rest of the apostles sojourned,
\ntwo and two, in different homes.
\n<\/font><\/td>\n

P.1706 – \u00a73 Jesus entered Jerusalem only once during
\nthis Passover, and that was on the great day of the feast. Many of the
\nJerusalem believers were brought out by Abner to meet Jesus at Bethany.
\nDuring this sojourn at Jerusalem the twelve learned how bitter the feeling
\nwas becoming toward their Master. They departed from Jerusalem all believing
\nthat a crisis was impending.
\n<\/font><\/td>\n		 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
P.1706 – \u00a74 On Sunday, April 24, Jesus and the apostles
\nleft Jerusalem for Bethsaida, going by way of the coast cities of Joppa,
\nCaesarea, and Ptolemais. Thence, overland they went by Ramah and Chorazin
\nto Bethsaida, arriving on Friday, April 29. Immediately on reaching home,
\nJesus dispatched Andrew to ask of the ruler of the synagogue permission
\nto speak the next day, that being the Sabbath, at the afternoon service.
\nAnd Jesus well knew that that would be the last time he would ever be
\npermitted to speak in the Capernaum synagogue.<\/font><\/td>\n		 <\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
