148:8.1 The last week of the [[sojourn]] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida] the [[Jerusalem]] [[spies]] became much divided in their [[attitude]] toward [[Jesus]] and his teachings. [[Three]] of these [[Pharisees]] were tremendously impressed by what they had seen and heard. Meanwhile, at [[Jerusalem]], Abraham, a young and [[influential]] member of the [[Sanhedrin]], publicly espoused the teachings of [[Jesus]] and was [[baptized]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pool_of_Siloam pool of Siloam] by [[Abner]]. All [[Jerusalem]] was agog over this [[event]], and [[messengers]] were immediately dispatched to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida] recalling the six [[Spies|spying]] [[Pharisees]].

148:8.2 The [[Greek]] [[philosopher]] who had been won for [[the kingdom]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_146 previous tour of Galilee] returned with certain [[wealthy]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Egypt#Ptolemaic_and_Roman_.28400_BC_to_641_AD.29 Jews of Alexandria], and once more they [[invited]] [[Jesus]] to come to their [[city]] for the [[purpose]] of [[establishing]] a joint [[school]] of [[philosophy]] and [[religion]] as well as an [[infirmary]] for the [[sick]]. But [[Jesus]] courteously declined the [[invitation]].

148:8.3 About this time there arrived at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida] encampment a [[trance]] [[prophet]] from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagdad Bagdad], one Kirmeth. This supposed [[prophet]] had peculiar [[visions]] when in [[trance]] and dreamed [[fantastic]] [[dreams]] when his [[sleep]] was disturbed. He created a considerable disturbance at the camp, and [[Simon Zelotes]] was in [[favor]] of dealing rather roughly with the [[self]]-[[deceived]] pretender, but [[Jesus]] [[intervened]] and allowed him entire [[freedom]] of [[action]] for a few days. All who heard his [[preaching]] soon [[recognized]] that his teaching was not sound as [[judged]] by the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]]. He shortly returned to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagdad Bagdad], taking with him only a half dozen unstable and erratic [[souls]]. But before [[Jesus]] interceded for the Bagdad [[prophet]], [[David Zebedee]], with the [[assistance]] of a self-appointed committee, had taken Kirmeth out into the lake and, after repeatedly plunging him into the [[water]], had advised him to depart hence—to [[organize]] and build a camp of his own.

148:8.4 On this same day, Beth-Marion, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenicia Phoenician] [[woman]], became so [[fanatical]] that she went out of her head and, after almost drowning from trying to walk on the [[water]], was sent away by her [friends].

148:8.5 The new [[Jerusalem]] convert, Abraham the [[Pharisee]], gave all of his [[Money|worldly goods]] to the apostolic [[treasury]], and this contribution did much to make possible the [[immediate]] sending forth of the one hundred newly [[trained]] [[evangelists]]. [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] had already announced the closing of the encampment, and everybody [[prepared]] either to go [[home]] or else to follow the [[evangelists]] into [[Galilee]].
