186:3.1 Shortly after [[Jesus]] was turned over to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_soldiers Roman soldiers] at the conclusion of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_185 hearing before Pilate], a detachment of the temple guards hastened out to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gethsemane Gethsemane] to disperse or [[arrest]] the followers of [[the Master]]. But long before their arrival these followers had scattered. [[The apostles]] had retired to designated hiding places; the [[Greeks]] had separated and gone to various [[homes]] in [[Jerusalem]]; the other [[disciples]] had likewise disappeared. [[David Zebedee]] [[believed]] that [[Jesus]]' [[enemies]] would return; so he early removed some five or six tents up the ravine near where [[the Master]] so often retired to [[pray]] and [[worship]]. Here he [[proposed]] to hide and at the same time maintain a [[center]], or [[co-ordinating]] station, for his [[messenger]] [[service]]. [[David Zebedee|David]] had hardly left the camp when the temple guards arrived. Finding no one there, they contented themselves with burning the camp and then hastened back to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple]. On hearing their report, the [[Sanhedrin]] was [[satisfied]] that the followers of [[Jesus]] were so thoroughly [[frightened]] and subdued that there would be no [[danger]] of an uprising or any attempt to [[rescue]] [[Jesus]] from the hands of his executioners. They were at last able to [[breathe]] easily, and so they [[adjourned]], every man going his way to [[prepare]] for the [[Passover]].

186:3.2 As soon as [[Jesus]] was turned over to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_soldiers Roman soldiers] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] for [[crucifixion]], a [[messenger]] hastened away to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gethsemane Gethsemane] to inform [[David Zebedee|David]], and within five minutes runners were on their way to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pella,_Jordan Pella], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amman Philadelphia], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidon Sidon], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shechem Shechem], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebron Hebron], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus Damascus], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria Alexandria]. And these [[messengers]] carried the news that [[Jesus]] was about to be [[crucified]] by the [[Romans]] at the insistent behest of the [[Sanhedrin|rulers]] of the [[Jews]].

186:3.3 Throughout this [[tragic]] day, until the [[message]] finally went forth that [[the Master]] had been laid in the [[tomb]], [[David Zebedee|David]] sent [[messengers]] about every half hour with reports to [[the apostles]], the [[Greeks]], and [[Jesus]]' [[earthly]] [[family]], assembled at the [[home]] of [[Lazarus]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany]. When the [[messengers]] departed with the [[word]] that [[Jesus]] had been [[buried]], [[David Zebedee|David]] dismissed his corps of local runners for the [[Passover]] [[celebration]] and for the coming [[Sabbath]] of [[rest]], instructing them to report to him [[quietly]] on Sunday morning at the [[home]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicodemus Nicodemus], where he [[proposed]] to go in hiding for a few days with [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and [[Simon Peter]].

186:3.4 This peculiar-minded [[David Zebedee]] was the only one of the [[leading]] [[disciples]] of [[Jesus]] who was inclined to take a [[literal]] and plain matter-of-[[fact]] view of [[the Master]]'s [[assertion]] that he would die and " rise again on the third day. " [[David Zebedee|David]] had once heard him make this [[prediction]] and, being of a [[literal]] turn of [[mind]], now [[proposed]] to assemble his [[messengers]] early Sunday morning at the [[home]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicodemus Nicodemus] so that they would be on hand to spread the news in case [[Jesus]] [[Resurrection|rose]] from the [[dead]]. [[David Zebedee|David]] soon [[discovered]] that none of [[Jesus]]' followers were looking for him to return so soon from the [[grave]]; therefore did he say little about his [[belief]] and nothing about the mobilization of all his [[messenger]] force on early Sunday morning except to the runners who had been dispatched on Friday forenoon to distant [[cities]] and [[believer]] [[centers]].

186:3.5 And so these followers of [[Jesus]], scattered throughout [[Jerusalem]] and its environs, that night partook of the [[Passover]] and the following day remained in [[seclusion]].
