P.1788 – §1 When Jesus started up to Jerusalem with
\n the ten apostles, he planned to go through Samaria, that being the shorter
\n route. Accordingly, they passed down the eastern shore of the lake and,
\n by way of Scythopolis, entered the borders of Samaria. Near nightfall Jesus
\n sent Philip and Matthew over to a village on the eastern slopes of Mount
\n Gilboa to secure lodging for the company. It so happened that these villagers
\n were greatly prejudiced against the Jews, even more so than the average
\n Samaritans, and these feelings were heightened at this particular time as
\n so many were on their way to the feast of tabernacles. These people knew
\n very little about Jesus, and they refused him lodging because he and his
\n associates were Jews. When Matthew and Philip manifested indignation and
\n informed these Samaritans that they were declining to entertain the Holy
\n One of Israel, the infuriated villagers chased them out of the little town
\n with sticks and stones.

\n

P.1788 – §2 After Philip and Matthew had returned
\n to their fellows and reported how they had been driven out of the village,
\n James and John stepped up to Jesus and said: "Master, we pray you
\n to give us permission to bid fire come down from heaven to devour these
\n insolent and impenitent Samaritans." But when Jesus heard these words
\n of vengeance, he turned upon the sons of Zebedee and severely rebuked
\n them: "You know not what manner of attitude you manifest. Vengeance
\n savors not of the outlook of the kingdom of heaven. Rather than dispute,
\n let us journey over to the little village by the Jordan ford." Thus
\n because of sectarian prejudice these Samaritans denied themselves the
\n honor of showing hospitality to the Creator Son of a universe.

1. THE DANGERS OF THE VISIT TO JERUSALEM – P.1788
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1788 – §5 Long before they fled from Galilee, the
\n followers of Jesus had implored him to go to Jerusalem to proclaim the
\n gospel of the kingdom in order that his message might have the prestige
\n of having been preached at the center of Jewish culture and learning;
\n but now that he had actually come to Jerusalem to teach, <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1789 – §0 they were afraid for his life. Knowing
\n that the Sanhedrin had sought to bring Jesus to Jerusalem for trial and
\n recalling the Master’s recently reiterated declarations that he must be
\n subject to death, the apostles had been literally stunned by his sudden
\n decision to attend the feast of tabernacles. To all their previous entreaties
\n that he go to Jerusalem he had replied, "The hour has not yet come."
\n Now, to their protests of fear he answered only, "But the hour has
\n come."

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1789 – §1 During the feast of tabernacles Jesus
\n went boldly into Jerusalem on several occasions and publicly taught in
\n the temple. This he did in spite of the efforts of his apostles to dissuade
\n him. Though they had long urged him to proclaim his message in Jerusalem,
\n they now feared to see him enter the city at this time, knowing full well
\n that the scribes and Pharisees were bent on bringing about his death.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

P.1789 – §2 Jesus’ bold appearance in Jerusalem more
\n than ever confused his followers. Many of his disciples, and even Judas
\n Iscariot, the apostle, had dared to think that Jesus had fled in haste
\n into Phoenicia because he feared the Jewish leaders and Herod Antipas.
\n They failed to comprehend the significance of the Master’s movements.
\n His presence in Jerusalem at the feast of tabernacles, even in opposition
\n to the advice of his followers, sufficed forever to put an end to all
\n whisperings about fear and cowardice.

P.1789 – §3 During the feast of tabernacles, thousands
\n of believers from all parts of the Roman Empire saw Jesus, heard him teach,
\n and many even journeyed out to Bethany to confer with him regarding the
\n progress of the kingdom in their home districts.
\n <\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
P.1789 – §4 There were many reasons why Jesus was
\n able publicly to preach in the temple courts throughout the days of the
\n feast, and chief of these was the fear that had come over the officers
\n of the Sanhedrin as a result of the secret division of sentiment in their
\n own ranks. It was a fact that many of the members of the Sanhedrin either
\n secretly believed in Jesus or else were decidedly averse to arresting
\n him during the feast, when such large numbers of people were present in
\n Jerusalem, many of whom either believed in him or were at least friendly
\n to the spiritual movement which he sponsored.<\/font><\/td>\n		own rank, \uc790\uc2e0\uc758 \uacc4\uae09<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
P.1789 – §5 The efforts of Abner and his associates
\n throughout Judea had also done much to consolidate sentiment favorable
\n to the kingdom, so much so that the enemies of Jesus dared not be too
\n outspoken in their opposition. This was one of the reasons why Jesus could
\n publicly visit Jerusalem and live to go away. One or two months before
\n this he would certainly have been put to death.

 <\/p>\n

P.1789 – §6 But the audacious boldness of Jesus in
\n publicly appearing in Jerusalem overawed his enemies; they were not prepared
\n for such a daring challenge. Several times during this month the Sanhedrin
\n made feeble attempts to place the Master under arrest, but nothing came
\n of these efforts. His enemies were so taken aback by Jesus’ unexpected
\n public appearance in Jerusalem that they conjectured he must have been
\n promised protection by the Roman authorities. Knowing that Philip (Herod
\n Antipas’s brother) was almost a follower of Jesus, the members of the
\n Sanhedrin speculated that Philip had secured for Jesus promises of protection
\n against his enemies. Jesus had departed from their jurisdiction before
\n they awakened to the realization that they had been mistaken in the belief
\n that his sudden and bold appearance in Jerusalem had been due to a secret
\n understanding with the Roman officials.

 <\/p>\n

P.1790 – §1 Although his disciples had not expected
\n Jesus to attend the feast, the vast majority of the pilgrims from afar
\n who had heard of him entertained the hope that they might see him at Jerusalem.
\n And they were not disappointed, for on several occasions he taught in
\n Solomon’s Porch and elsewhere in the temple courts. These teachings were
\n really the official or formal announcement of the divinity of Jesus to
\n the Jewish people and to the whole world.

P.1790 – §2 The multitudes who listened to the Master’s
\n teachings were divided in their opinions. Some said he was a good man;
\n some a prophet; some that he was truly the Messiah; others said he was
\n a mischievous meddler, that he was leading the people astray with his
\n strange doctrines. His enemies hesitated to denounce him openly for fear
\n of his friendly believers, while his friends feared to acknowledge him
\n openly for fear of the Jewish leaders, knowing that the Sanhedrin was
\n determined to put him to death. But even his enemies marveled at his teaching,
\n knowing that he had not been instructed in the schools of the rabbis.

\n Jesus make such positive claims and such amazing assertions even when
\n preaching among his friends.<\/font><\/td>\n		 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

2. THE FIRST TEMPLE TALK – P.1790
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1790 – §4 The first afternoon that Jesus taught
\n in the temple, a considerable company sat listening to his words depicting
\n the liberty of the new gospel and the joy of those who believe the good
\n news, when a curious listener interrupted him to ask: "Teacher, how
\n is it you can quote the Scriptures and teach the people so fluently when
\n I am told that you are untaught in the learning of the rabbis?" Jesus
\n replied: "No man has taught me the truths which I declare to you.
\n And this teaching is not mine but His who sent me. <\/font><\/p>\n

If any man really desires
\n to do my Father’s will, he shall certainly know about my teaching, whether
\n it be God’s or whether I speak for myself. He who speaks for himself seeks
\n his own glory, but when I declare the words of the Father, I thereby seek
\n the glory of him who sent me. But before you try to enter into the new
\n light, should you not rather follow the light you already have? Moses
\n gave you the law, yet how many of you honestly seek to fulfill its demands?
\n Moses in this law enjoins you, saying, `You shall not kill’; notwithstanding
\n this command some of you seek to kill the Son of Man."<\/font><\/p>\n

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

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

P.1790 – §5 When the crowd heard these words, they
\n fell to wrangling among themselves. Some said he was mad; some that he
\n had a devil. Others said this was indeed the prophet of Galilee whom the
\n scribes and Pharisees had long sought to kill. Some said the religious
\n authorities were afraid to molest him; others thought that they laid not
\n hands upon him because they had become believers in him. After considerable
\n debate one of the crowd stepped forward and asked Jesus, "Why do
\n the rulers seek to kill you?" And he replied: "The rulers seek
\n to kill me because they resent my teaching about the good news of the
\n kingdom,
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1791 – §0 a gospel that sets men free from the
\n burdensome traditions of a formal religion of ceremonies which these teachers
\n are determined to uphold at any cost. They circumcise in accordance with
\n the law on the Sabbath day, but they would kill me because I once on the
\n Sabbath day set free a man held in the bondage of affliction. They follow
\n after me on the Sabbath to spy on me but would kill me because on another
\n occasion I chose to make a grievously stricken man completely whole on
\n the Sabbath day. <\/font><\/p>\n

They seek to kill me because they well know that, if
\n you honestly believe and dare to accept my teaching, their system of traditional
\n religion will be overthrown, forever destroyed. Thus will they be deprived
\n of authority over that to which they have devoted their lives since they
\n steadfastly refuse to accept this new and more glorious gospel of the
\n kingdom of God. And now do I appeal to every one of you: Judge not according
\n to outward appearances but rather judge by the true spirit of these teachings;
\n judge righteously."

P.1791 – §1 Then said another inquirer: "Yes,
\n Teacher, we do look for the Messiah, but when he comes, we know that his
\n appearance will be in mystery. We know whence you are. You have been among
\n your brethren from the beginning. The deliverer will come in power to
\n restore the throne of David’s kingdom. Do you really claim to be the Messiah?"
\n And Jesus replied: "You claim to know me and to know whence I am.
\n I wish your claims were true, for indeed then would you find abundant
\n life in that knowledge. But I declare that I have not come to you for
\n myself; I have been sent by the Father, and he who sent me is true and
\n faithful. By refusing to hear me, you are refusing to receive him who
\n sends me. You, if you will receive this gospel, shall come to know him
\n who sent me. I know the Father, for I have come from the Father to declare
\n and reveal him to you."<\/font><\/td>\n		lay hands on, \uc190\uc744 \ub300\ub2e4, \uc548\uc218\ud558\ub2e4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

P.1791 – §2 The agents of the scribes wanted to lay
\n hands upon him, but they feared the multitude, for many believed in him.
\n Jesus’ work since his baptism had become well known to all Jewry, and
\n as many of these people recounted these things, they said among themselves:
\n "Even though this teacher is from Galilee, and even though he does
\n not meet all of our expectations of the Messiah, we wonder if the deliverer,
\n when he does come, will really do anything more wonderful than this Jesus
\n of Nazareth has already done."

P.1791 – §3 When the Pharisees and their agents heard
\n the people talking this way, they took counsel with their leaders and
\n decided that something should be done forthwith to put a stop to these
\n public appearances of Jesus in the temple courts. The leaders of the Jews,
\n in general, were disposed to avoid a clash with Jesus, believing that
\n the Roman authorities had promised him immunity. They could not otherwise
\n account for his boldness in coming at this time to Jerusalem; but the
\n officers of the Sanhedrin did not wholly believe this rumor. They reasoned
\n that the Roman rulers would not do such a thing secretly and without the
\n knowledge of the highest governing body of the Jewish nation.

P.1791 – §4 Accordingly, Eber, the proper officer

\n As Eber made his way toward Jesus, the Master said: "Fear not to
\n approach me. Draw near while you listen to my teaching. I know you have
\n been sent to apprehend me, but you should understand that nothing will
\n befall the Son of Man until his hour comes. You are not arrayed against
\n me; you come only to do the bidding of your masters, and even these rulers
\n of the Jews verily think they are doing God’s service when they secretly
\n seek my destruction.

\n deliverance from evil and the breaking of the bondage of sin. I have come
\n that you might have life, and have it eternally. You seek to be rid of
\n me and my disquieting teachings. If you could only realize that I am to
\n be with you only a little while! In just a short time I go to him who
\n sent me into this world. And then will many of you diligently seek me,
\n but you shall not discover my presence, for where I am about to go you
\n cannot come. But all who truly seek to find me shall sometime attain the

P.1792 – §3 Eber and his assistants refused to arrest
\n Jesus; they returned to their meeting place without him. When, therefore,
\n the chief priests and the Pharisees upbraided Eber and his assistants
\n because they had not brought Jesus with them, Eber only replied: "We
\n feared to arrest him in the midst of the multitude because many believe
\n in him. Besides, we never heard a man speak like this man. There is something
\n out of the ordinary about this teacher. You would all do well to go over
\n to hear him." And when the chief rulers heard these words, they were
\n astonished and spoke tauntingly to Eber: "Are you also led astray?
\n Are you about to believe in this deceiver? Have you heard that any of
\n our learned men or any of the rulers have believed in him? Have any of
\n the scribes or the Pharisees been deceived by his clever teachings? <\/font><\/p>\n

How
\n does it come that you are influenced by the behavior of this ignorant
\n multitude who know not the law or the prophets? Do you not know that such
\n untaught people are accursed?" And then answered Eber: "Even
\n so, my masters, but this man speaks to the multitude words of mercy and
\n hope. He cheers the downhearted, and his words were comforting even to
\n our souls. What can there be wrong in these teachings even though he may
\n not be the Messiah of the Scriptures? And even then does not our law require
\n fairness? Do we condemn a man before we hear him?" And the chief
\n of the Sanhedrin was wroth with Eber and, turning upon him, said: "Have
\n you gone mad? Are you by any chance also from Galilee? Search the Scriptures,
\n and you will discover that out of Galilee arises no prophet, much less
\n the Messiah."

P.1792 – §5 It was during this visit to Jerusalem
\n that Jesus dealt with a certain woman of evil repute who was brought into

\n Jesus by the scribes and Pharisees, and that Jesus so dealt with them
\n as to indicate that these religious leaders of the Jews might themselves
\n have been guilty of immorality. Jesus well knew that, while these scribes
\n and Pharisees were spiritually blind and intellectually prejudiced by
\n their loyalty to tradition, they were to be numbered among the most thoroughly

\n this woman was taken in adultery–in the very act. Now, the law of Moses
\n commands that we should stone such a woman. What do you say should be

\n of a Roman tribunal. If he forbade stoning the woman, they would accuse
\n him before the Sanhedrin of setting himself up above Moses and the Jewish
\n law. If he remained silent, they would accuse him of cowardice. But the

P.1793 – §3 This woman, once comely, was the wife
\n of an inferior citizen of Nazareth, a man who had been a troublemaker

\n did most shamefully force her to earn their living by making commerce
\n of her body. He had come up to the feast at Jerusalem that his wife might
\n thus prostitute her physical charms for financial gain. He had entered
\n into a bargain with the hirelings of the Jewish rulers thus to betray
\n his own wife in her commercialized vice. And so they came with the woman
\n and her companion in transgression for the purpose of ensnaring Jesus
\n into making some statement which could be used against him in case of

P.1793 – §4 Jesus, looking over the crowd, saw her
\n husband standing behind the others. He knew what sort of man he was and
\n perceived that he was a party to the despicable transaction. Jesus first
\n walked around to near where this degenerate husband stood and wrote upon
\n the sand a few words which caused him to depart in haste. Then he came
\n back before the woman and wrote again upon the ground for the benefit
\n of her would-be accusers; and when they read his words, they, too, went
\n away, one by one. And when the Master had written in the sand the third
\n time, the woman’s companion in evil took his departure, so that, when
\n the Master raised himself up from this writing, he beheld the woman standing
\n alone before him. <\/font><\/p>\n

Jesus said: "Woman, where are your accusers? did
\n no man remain to stone you?" And the woman, lifting up her eyes,
\n answered, "No man, Lord." And then said Jesus: "I know
\n about you; neither do I condemn you. Go your way in peace." And this
\n woman, Hildana, forsook her wicked husband and joined herself to the disciples

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1793 – §5 The presence of people from all of the
\n known world, from Spain to India, made the feast of tabernacles an ideal
\n occasion for Jesus for the first time publicly to proclaim his full gospel
\n in Jerusalem. At this feast the people lived much in the open air, in
\n leafy booths. It was the feast of the harvest ingathering, and coming,
\n as it did, in the cool of the autumn months, it was more generally attended
\n by the Jews of the world than was the Passover at the end of the winter
\n or Pentecost at the beginning of summer. The apostles at last beheld their
\n Master making the bold announcement of his mission on earth before all
\n the world, as it were.

\n

 <\/p>\n

P.1794 – §1 This was the feast of feasts, since any
\n sacrifice not made at the other festivals could be made at this time.
\n This was the occasion of the reception of the temple offerings; it was
\n a combination of vacation pleasures with the solemn rites of religious
\n worship. Here was a time of racial rejoicing, mingled with sacrifices,
\n Levitical chants, and the solemn blasts of the silvery trumpets of the
\n priests. At night the impressive spectacle of the temple and its pilgrim
\n throngs was brilliantly illuminated by the great candelabras which burned
\n brightly in the court of the women as well as by the glare of scores of
\n torches standing about the temple courts. The entire city was gaily decorated
\n except the Roman castle of Antonia, which looked down in grim contrast
\n upon this festive and worshipful scene. And how the Jews did hate this
\n ever-present reminder of the Roman yoke!<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

P.1794 – §2 Seventy bullocks were sacrificed during
\n the feast, the symbol of the seventy nations of heathendom. The ceremony
\n of the outpouring of the water symbolized the outpouring of the divine spirit.
\n This ceremony of the water followed the sunrise procession of the priests
\n and Levites. The worshipers passed down the steps leading from the court
\n of Israel to the court of the women while successive blasts were blown upon
\n the silvery trumpets. And then the faithful marched on toward the beautiful
\n gate, which opened upon the court of the gentiles. Here they turned about
\n to face westward, to repeat their chants, and to continue their march for
\n the symbolic water.

P.1794 – §3 On the last day of the feast almost
\n four hundred and fifty priests with a corresponding number of Levites
\n officiated. At daybreak the pilgrims assembled from all parts of the city,
\n each carrying in the right hand a sheaf of myrtle, willow, and palm branches,
\n while in the left hand each one carried a branch of the paradise apple–the
\n citron, or the "forbidden fruit." These pilgrims divided into
\n three groups for this early morning ceremony. One band remained at the
\n temple to attend the morning sacrifices; another group marched down below
\n Jerusalem to near Maza to cut the willow branches for the adornment of
\n the sacrificial altar, while the third group formed a procession to march
\n from the temple behind the water priest, who, to the sound of the silvery
\n trumpets, bore the golden pitcher which was to contain the symbolic water,
\n out through Ophel to near Siloam, where was located the fountain gate.<\/font><\/p>\n

After the golden pitcher had been filled at the pool of Siloam, the procession
\n marched back to the temple, entering by way of the water gate and going
\n directly to the court of the priests, where the priest bearing the water
\n pitcher was joined by the priest bearing the wine for the drink offering.
\n These two priests then repaired to the silver funnels leading to the base
\n of the altar and poured the contents of the pitchers therein. The execution
\n of this rite of pouring the wine and the water was the signal for the
\n assembled pilgrims to begin the chanting of the Psalms from 113 to 118
\n inclusive, in alternation with the Levites. And as they repeated these
\n lines, they would wave their sheaves at the altar. Then followed the sacrifices
\n for the day, associated with the repeating of the Psalm for the day, the
\n Psalm for the last day of the feast being the eighty-second, beginning
\n with the fifth verse.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

5. SERMON ON THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD – P.1794
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1794 – §4 On the evening of the next to the last
\n day of the feast, when the scene was brilliantly illuminated by the lights
\n of the candelabras and the torches, Jesus stood up in the midst of the
\n assembled throng and said:<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1795 – §1 "I am the light of the world. He
\n who follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of
\n life. Presuming to place me on trial and assuming to sit as my judges,
\n you declare that, if I bear witness of myself, my witness cannot be true.
\n But never can the creature sit in judgment on the Creator. Even if I do
\n bear witness about myself, my witness is everlastingly true, for I know
\n whence I came, who I am, and whither I go. You who would kill the Son
\n of Man know not whence I came, who I am, or whither I go. You judge only
\n by the appearances of the flesh; you do not perceive the realities of
\n the spirit.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

I judge no man, not even my archenemy. But if I should choose
\n to judge, my judgment would be true and righteous, for I would judge not
\n alone but in association with my Father, who sent me into the world, and
\n who is the source of all true judgment. You even allow that the witness
\n of two reliable persons may be accepted–well, then, I bear witness of
\n these truths; so also does my Father in heaven. And when I told you this
\n yesterday, in your darkness you asked me, `Where is your Father?’ Truly,
\n you know neither me nor my Father, for if you had known me, you would
\n also have known the Father.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n you cannot come. You who would reject this light are from beneath; I am
\n from above. You who prefer to sit in darkness are of this world; I am not
\n of this world, and I live in the eternal light of the Father of lights.
\n You all have had abundant opportunity to learn who I am, but you shall have
\n still other evidence confirming the identity of the Son of Man. I am the
\n light of life, and every one who deliberately and with understanding rejects
\n this saving light shall die in his sins. Much I have to tell you, but you
\n are unable to receive my words. However, he who sent me is true and faithful;
\n my Father loves even his erring children. And all that my Father has spoken
\n I also proclaim to the world.

6. DISCOURSE ON THE WATER OF LIFE – P.1795
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1795 – §5 On the last day, the great day of the
\n feast, as the procession from the pool of Siloam passed through the temple
\n courts, and just after the water and the wine had been poured down upon
\n the altar by the priests, Jesus, standing among the pilgrims, said: "If
\n any man thirst, let him come to me and drink. From the Father above I
\n bring to this world the water of life. He who believes me shall be filled
\n with the spirit which this water represents, for even the Scriptures have
\n said, `Out of him shall flow rivers of living waters.’ When the Son of
\n Man has finished his work on earth, there shall be poured out upon all
\n flesh the living Spirit of Truth. Those who receive this spirit shall
\n never know spiritual thirst."

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

P.1795 – §6 Jesus did not interrupt the service to
\n speak these words. He addressed the worshipers immediately after the chanting
\n of the Hallel, the responsive reading of the Psalms accompanied by waving
\n of the branches before the altar. Just here was a pause while the sacrifices
\n were being prepared, and it was at this time that
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1796 – §0 the pilgrims heard the fascinating voice
\n of the Master declare that he was the giver of living water to every spirit-thirsting
\n soul.

\n

P.1796 – §1 At the conclusion of this early morning
\n service Jesus continued to teach the multitude, saying: "Have you
\n not read in the Scripture: `Behold, as the waters are poured out upon
\n the dry ground and spread over the parched soil, so will I give the spirit
\n of holiness to be poured out upon your children for a blessing even to
\n your children’s children’? Why will you thirst for the ministry of the
\n spirit while you seek to water your souls with the traditions of men,
\n poured from the broken pitchers of ceremonial service? <\/font><\/p>\n

That which you
\n see going on about this temple is the way in which your fathers sought
\n to symbolize the bestowal of the divine spirit upon the children of faith,
\n and you have done well to perpetuate these symbols, even down to this
\n day. But now has come to this generation the revelation of the Father
\n of spirits through the bestowal of his Son, and all of this will certainly
\n be followed by the bestowal of the spirit of the Father and the Son upon
\n the children of men. To every one who has faith shall this bestowal of
\n the spirit become the true teacher of the way which leads to life everlasting,
\n to the true waters of life in the kingdom of heaven on earth and in the
\n Father’s Paradise over there."

 <\/p>\n

P.1796 – §2 And Jesus continued to answer the questions
\n of both the multitude and the Pharisees. Some thought he was a prophet;
\n some believed him to be the Messiah; others said he could not be the Christ,
\n seeing that he came from Galilee, and that the Messiah must restore David’s
\n throne. Still they dared not arrest him.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

7. THE DISCOURSE ON SPIRITUAL FREEDOM – P.1796
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1796 – §3 On the afternoon of the last day of the
\n feast and after the apostles had failed in their efforts to persuade him
\n to flee from Jerusalem, Jesus again went into the temple to teach. Finding
\n a large company of believers assembled in Solomon’s Porch, he spoke to
\n them, saying:<\/font><\/p>\n

P.1796 – §4 "If my words abide in you and you
\n are minded to do the will of my Father, then are you truly my disciples.
\n You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. I know how
\n you will answer me: We are the children of Abraham, and we are in bondage
\n to none; how then shall we be made free? Even so, I do not speak of outward
\n subjection to another’s rule; I refer to the liberties of the soul. <\/font><\/p>\n

Verily,
\n verily, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the bond-servant of
\n sin. And you know that the bondservant is not likely to abide forever
\n in the master’s house. You also know that the son does remain in his father’s
\n house. If, therefore, the Son shall make you free, shall make you sons,
\n you shall be free indeed.

P.1796 – §5 "I know that you are Abraham’s seed,
\n yet your leaders seek to kill me because my word has not been allowed
\n to have its transforming influence in their hearts. Their souls are sealed
\n by prejudice and blinded by the pride of revenge. I declare to you the
\n truth which the eternal Father shows me, while these deluded teachers
\n seek to do the things which they have learned only from their temporal
\n fathers. And when you reply that Abraham is your father, then do I tell
\n you that, if you were the children of Abraham, you would do the works
\n of Abraham. Some of you believe my teaching, but others seek to destroy
\n me because I have told you the truth which I received from God. But Abraham
\n did not so treat the truth of God. I perceive that some among you are
\n determined

P.1797 – §0 to do the works of the evil one. If God
\n were your Father, you would know me and love the truth which I reveal.
\n Will you not see that I come forth from the Father, that I am sent by
\n God, that I am not doing this work of myself? Why do you not understand
\n my words? Is it because you have chosen to become the children of evil?
\n If you are the children of darkness, you will hardly walk in the light
\n of the truth which I reveal. The children of evil follow only in the ways
\n of their father, who was a deceiver and stood not for the truth because
\n there came to be no truth in him. But now comes the Son of Man speaking
\n and living the truth, and many of you refuse to believe.

P.1797 – §1 "Which of you convicts me of sin?
\n If I, then, proclaim and live the truth shown me by the Father, why do
\n you not believe? He who is of God hears gladly the words of God; for this
\n cause many of you hear not my words, because you are not of God. Your
\n teachers have even presumed to say that I do my works by the power of
\n the prince of devils. One near by has just said that I have a devil, that
\n I am a child of the devil. But all of you who deal honestly with your
\n own souls know full well that I am not a devil. You know that I honor
\n the Father even while you would dishonor me. I seek not my own glory,
\n only the glory of my Paradise Father. And I do not judge you, for there

\n and the prophets that you dare to stand here and say that whoso keeps
\n your word shall not taste death? Who do you claim to be that you dare
\n to utter such blasphemies?’ <\/font><\/p>\n

And I say to all such that, if I glorify myself,
\n my glory is as nothing. But it is the Father who shall glorify me, even
\n the same Father whom you call God. But you have failed to know this your
\n God and my Father, and I have come to bring you together; to show you
\n how to become truly the sons of God. Though you know not the Father, I

Only one
\n thing is really worth while, and since Mary has chosen this good and needful
\n part, I shall not take it away from her. But when will both of you learn

9. AT BETHLEHEM WITH ABNER – P.1798
\n <\/font><\/p>\n

P.1798 – §2 Throughout the week that followed the
\n feast of tabernacles, scores of believers forgathered at Bethany and received
\n instruction from the twelve apostles. The Sanhedrin made no effort to
\n molest these gatherings since Jesus was not present; he was throughout
\n this time working with Abner and his associates in Bethlehem. The day
\n following the close of the feast, Jesus had departed for Bethany, and
\n he did not again teach in the temple during this visit to Jerusalem.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n of John. And it was this intimate contact that finally led them to believe
\n in him. These former apostles of John the Baptist were influenced by the
\n courage he displayed in his public teaching in Jerusalem as well as by
\n the sympathetic understanding they experienced in his private teaching
\n at Bethlehem. These influences finally and fully won over each of Abner’s
