121:8.14 While I, with the collaboration of my eleven associate fellow [[midwayers]] and under the supervision of the [[Melchizedek]] of record, have portrayed this [[narrative]] in accordance with my concept of its effective arrangement and in response to my choice of immediate expression, nevertheless, ''the majority of the ideas and even some of the effective expressions which I have thus utilized had their origin in the minds of the men of many races who have lived on earth during the intervening generations, right on down to those who are still alive at the time of this undertaking. In many ways I have served more as a collector and editor than as an original narrator.''

In behalf of the Brotherhood of the United Midwayers of Urantia, I most gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness to all sources of record and concept which have been hereinafter utilized in the further elaboration of our restatement of Jesus' life on earth.
