134:1.1 After taking leave of Gonod and Ganid at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charax_Spasinou Charax] (in December of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_AD A.D. 23]), [[Jesus]] returned by way of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur Ur] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon Babylon], where he joined a [[desert]] [[caravan]] that was on its way to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus Damascus]. From Damascus he went to [[Nazareth]], stopping only a few hours at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum], where he paused to call on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee]'s [[family]]. There he met his brother [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James], who had sometime previously come over to work in his place in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee]'s boatshop. After talking with [James and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jude_the_Apostle Jude] (who also chanced to be in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum]) and after turning over to his brother James the little house which [[John, the Apostle|John Zebedee]] had managed to buy, [[Jesus]] went on to [[Nazareth]].

134:1.2 At the end of his [[Mediterranean]] [[journey]] [[Jesus]] had received sufficient [[money]] to meet his living expenses almost up to the time of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_141 beginning of his public ministry]. But aside from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] and the people whom he met on this extraordinary trip, the world never knew that he made this [[journey]]. His [[family]] always believed that he spent this time in [[study]] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria Alexandria]. [[Jesus]] never confirmed these [[beliefs]], neither did he make open denial of such misunderstandings.

134:1.3 During his stay of a few weeks at [[Nazareth]], [[Jesus]] visited with his [[family]] and [[friends]], spent some time at the repair shop with his [[brother]] Joseph, but [[devoted]] most of his [[attention]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] and Ruth. Ruth was then nearly fifteen years old, and this was [[Jesus]]' first [[opportunity]] to have long talks with her since she had become a [[Womanhood|young woman]].

134:1.6 About the time [[Jesus]] was [[preparing]] to leave [[Nazareth]], the conductor of a large [[caravan]] which was passing through the [[city]] was taken [[violently]] ill, and [[Jesus]], being a [[linguist]], [[volunteered]] to take his place. Since this trip would necessitate his [[absence]] for a year, and inasmuch as all his brothers were [[married]] and his [[mother]] was living at home with Ruth, [[Jesus]] called a [[family]] [[conference]] at which he [[proposed]] that his mother and Ruth go to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] to live in the [[home]] which he had so recently given to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James]. Accordingly, a few days after [[Jesus]] left with the [[caravan]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] and Ruth moved to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum], where they lived for the rest of Mary's life in the [[home]] that [[Jesus]] had provided. Joseph and his [[family]] moved into the old [[Nazareth]] [[home]].

134:1.7 This was one of the more [[unusual]] years in the [[Inner Life|inner experience]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man]; great [[progress]] was made in effecting working [[harmony]] between his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_110#110:4._THE_ADJUSTER.27S_WORK_IN_THE_MIND human mind] and the [[indwelling Adjuster]]. The Adjuster had been actively [[engaged]] in reorganizing the [[thinking]] and in [[rehearsing]] the [[mind]] for the great [[events]] which were in the not then distant [[future]]. The [[personality]] of [[Jesus]] was [[preparing]] for his great [[change]] in [[attitude]] toward the world. These were the in-between times, the [[transition]] [[stage]] of that [[being]] who began life as [[God]] appearing as man, and who was now making ready to complete his [[earth]] [[career]] as [[man]] appearing as God.
