159:2.1 [[Jesus]] went over to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamala Gamala] to [[visit]] [[John, the Apostle|John]] and those who worked with him at that place.

Now this fellow had never been with us, neither does he follow after us; therefore I [[forbade]] him to do such things.

[[Rejoice]] that already our [[teaching]] has begun to [[manifest]] itself beyond the bounds of our [[personal]] [[influence]].

159:2.2 This [[instruction]] greatly [[perplexed]] [[John, the Apostle|John]]. Had he not heard [[the Master]] say, " He who is not with me is against me "? And he did not [[perceive]] that in this case [[Jesus]] was referring to [[man]]'s [[personal]] [[relation]] to the [[spiritual]] [[teachings]] of [[the kingdom]], while in the other case [[reference]] was made to the outward and far-flung [[social]] [[relations]] of [[believers]] regarding the questions of [[administrative]] [[control]] and the [[jurisdiction]] of one [[group]] of [[believers]] over the [[work]] of other groups which would [[eventually]] [[compose]] the forthcoming world-wide brotherhood.

159:2.3 But [[John, the Apostle|John]] oftentimes recounted this [[experience]] in [[connection]] with his subsequent [[labors]] in behalf of [[the kingdom]]. Nevertheless, many times did [[the apostles]] take [[offense]] at those who made [[bold]] to [[teach]] in [[the Master]]'s name. To them it always seemed inappropriate that those who had never sat at [[Jesus]]' feet should [[dare]] to [[teach]] in his [[name]].

159:2.4 This man whom [[John, the Apostle|John]] [[forbade]] to [[teach]] and [[work]] in [[Jesus]]' name did not heed the [[apostle]]'s [[injunction]]. He went right on with his [[efforts]] and raised up a considerable company of [[believers]] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanata Kanata] before going on into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Mesopotamia Mesopotamia].
