145:3.1 By the time [[Jesus]] and his [[apostles]] had made ready to partake of their evening meal near the end of this [[eventful]] [[Sabbath]] day, all [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] and its environs were agog over these reputed [[miracles]] of [[healing]]; and all who were sick or afflicted began [[preparations]] to go to [[Jesus]] or to have themselves carried there by their [[friends]] just as soon as the [[sun]] went down. According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabbat#Prohibited_activities Jewish teaching it was not permissible] even to go in quest of health during the [[sacred]] hours of the [[Sabbath]].

145:3.2 Therefore, as soon as the [[sun]] sank beneath the [[horizon]], scores of afflicted [[men]], [[women]], and [[children]] began to make their way toward the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] [[home]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida]. One man started out with his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paralysis paralyzed] daughter just as soon as the sun sank behind his [[neighbor]]'s house.

145:3.3 The whole day's [[events]] had set the [[stage]] for this extraordinary sundown scene. Even the [[text]] [[Jesus]] had used for his afternoon [[sermon]] had intimated that [[sickness]] should be banished; and he had [[spoken]] with such unprecedented [[power]] and [[authority]]! His [[message]] was so compelling! While he made no [[appeal]] to [[human]] [[authority]], he did speak directly to the [[conscience]]s and [[souls]] of men. Though he did not resort to [[logic]], [[legal]] quibbles, or clever sayings, he did make a [[powerful]], direct, [[clear]], and [[personal]] [[appeal]] to the [[hearts]] of his hearers.

145:3.4 That [[Sabbath]] was a great day in the [[earth]] life of [[Jesus]], yes, in the life of a [[universe]]. To all [[local universe]] [[intents]] and [[purposes]] the little [[Jewish]] [[city]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] was the real [[capital]] of [[Nebadon]]. The handful of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] in the Capernaum [[synagogue]] were not the only [[beings]] to hear that momentous closing [[statement]] of [[Jesus]]' [[sermon]]: " Hate is the [[shadow]] of [[fear]]; [[revenge]] the [[mask]] of [[cowardice]].

145:3.5 Soon after the setting of the [[sun]], as [[Jesus]] and [[the apostles]] still lingered about the supper table, [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]'s [[wife]] heard [[voices]] in the front yard and, on going to the door, saw a large company of sick folks assembling, and that the road from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] was crowded by those who were on their way to seek [[healing]] at [[Jesus]]' hands. On seeing this [[sight]], she went at once and informed her [[husband]], who told [[Jesus]].

145:3.6 When [[the Master]] stepped out of the front entrance of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee]'s house, his eyes met an array of stricken and [[afflicted]] [[humanity]]. He gazed upon almost one thousand [[sick]] and ailing [[human being]]s; at least that was the [[number]] of [[persons]] gathered [[together]] before him. Not all present were afflicted; some had come [[assisting]] their loved ones in this effort to [[secure]] [[healing]].

145:3.7 The [[sight]] of these afflicted [[mortals]], [[men]], [[women]], and [[children]], [[suffering]] in large measure as a result of the mistakes and misdeeds of his own [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35#35:8._THE_LANONANDEK_SONS trusted Sons of universe administration][https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_51], peculiarly [[touched]] the [[human]] [[heart]] of [[Jesus]] and challenged the [[divine]] [[mercy]] of this [[benevolent]] [[Creator Son]]. But [[Jesus]] well knew he could never build an [[enduring]] [[spiritual]] [[movement]] upon the [[foundation]] of [[purely]] [[material]] [[wonders]].

145:3.8 A [[voice]] from the front yard exclaimed: " Master, [[speak]] the [[word]], restore our [[health]], [[heal]] our [[diseases]], and save our [[souls]]. " No sooner had these [[words]] been uttered than a vast retinue of [[seraphim]], [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS physical controllers], [[Life Carriers]], and [[midwayers]], such as always attended this [[incarnated]] [[Creator]] of a [[universe]], made themselves ready to [[act]] with [[creative]] [[power]] should their [[Sovereign]] give the [[signal]].

145:3.9 When [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] implored [[the Master]] to heed their [[cry]] for help, [[Jesus]], looking down upon the [[afflicted]] throng, answered: " I have come into the world to [[reveal]] [[the Father]] and [[establish]] his [[The Kingdom|kingdom]]. For this [[purpose]] have I lived my life to this hour. If, therefore, it should be the will of Him who sent me and not inconsistent with my [[dedication]] to the [[proclamation]] of the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] of heaven, I would [[desire]] to see my [[children]] made [[whole]]—and—" but the further [[words]] of [[Jesus]] were lost in the [[tumult]].

145:3.11 But of all the [[beings]] who were astonished at this sudden and unexpected outbreak of [[supernatural]] [[healing]], [[Jesus]] was the most [[surprised]]. In a [[moment]] when his [[human]] interests and [[sympathies]] were [[focused]] upon the scene of [[suffering]] and affliction there spread out before him, he neglected to bear in his [[human]] [[mind]] the admonitory [[warnings]] of his [[Personalized Adjuster]] regarding the impossibility of [[limiting]] the [[time]] element of the [[creator]] [[prerogatives]] of a [[Creator Son]] under certain conditions and in certain [[circumstances]]. [[Jesus]] [[desired]] to see these [[suffering]] [[mortals]] made [[whole]] if [[Universal Father|his Father]]'s will would not thereby be violated. The [[Personalized Adjuster]] of [[Jesus]] instantly ruled that such an [[act]] of [[creative]] [[energy]] at that [[time]] would not [[transgress]] the will of the [[Paradise Father]], and by such a [[decision]]—in view of [[Jesus]]' preceding [[expression]] of [[healing]] [[desire]]—the [[creative]] [[act]] was. What a [[Creator Son]] [[desires]] and his Father wills IS. Not in all of [[Jesus]]' subsequent [[earth]] life did another such en masse [[physical]] [[healing]] of [[mortals]] take place.

145:3.12 As might have been [[expected]], the [[fame]] of this sundown [[healing]] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] spread throughout all [[Galilee]] and [[Judea]] and to the regions beyond. Once more were the [[fears]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod] aroused, and he sent watchers to report on the [[work]] and teachings of [[Jesus]] and to ascertain if he was the former [[carpenter]] of [[Nazareth]] or [[John the Baptist]] risen from the [[dead]].

145:3.13 Chiefly because of this unintended [[demonstration]] of [[physical]] [[healing]], henceforth, throughout the remainder of his [[earth]] [[career]], [[Jesus]] became as much a [[physician]] as a [[preacher]]. True, he continued his teaching, but his [[personal]] [[work]] consisted mostly in ministering to the [[sick]] and the distressed, while his [[apostles]] did the [[work]] of [[public]] [[preaching]] and [[baptizing]] believers.
