==PAPER 145: FOUR EVENTFUL DAYS AT CAPERNAUM==

145:0.1 [[Jesus]] and [[the apostles]] arrived in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] the evening of Tuesday, January 13. As usual, they made their [[headquarters]] at the [[home]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida]. Now that [[John the Baptist]] had been sent to his [[death]], [[Jesus]] [[prepared]] to launch out in the first open and [[public]] [[preaching]] tour of [[Galilee]]. The news that [[Jesus]] had returned rapidly spread throughout the [[city]], and early the next day, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_%28mother_of_Jesus%29 Mary] the [[mother]] of [[Jesus]] hastened away, going over to [[Nazareth]] to visit her son Joseph.

145:0.2 Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday [[Jesus]] spent at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] house instructing his [[apostles]] [[preparatory]] to their first extensive [[public]] [[preaching]] [[Campaign|tour]]. He also [[received]] and taught many [[earnest]] [[inquirers]], both singly and in [[groups]]. Through [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]], he arranged to speak in the [[synagogue]] on the coming [[Sabbath]] day.

145:0.3 Late on Friday evening [[Jesus]]' baby sister, Ruth, [[secretly]] paid him a [[visit]]. They spent almost an hour together in a boat anchored a short distance from the shore. No [[human being]], save [[John, the Apostle|John Zebedee]], ever knew of this [[visit]], and he was admonished to tell no man. Ruth was the only member of [[Jesus]]' [[family]] who [[consistently]] and unwaveringly [[believed]] in the [[divinity]] of his [[earth]] [[mission]] from the times of her earliest [[spiritual]] [[consciousness]] right on down through his [[eventful]] [[ministry]], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_187 death], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_189 resurrection], and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_193 ascension]; and she finally passed on to the [[Mansion Worlds|worlds beyond]] never having [[doubted]] the [[supernatural]] [[character]] of her [[father]]-[[brother]]'s [[mission]] in the [[flesh]]. Baby Ruth was the chief [[comfort]] of [[Jesus]], as regards his [[earth]] [[family]], throughout the trying [[ordeal]] of his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_185 trial], [[rejection]], and [[crucifixion]].

==145:1. THE DRAUGHT OF FISHES==

145:1.1 On Friday morning of this same week, when [[Jesus]] was [[teaching]] by the seaside, the people crowded him so near the [[water]]'s edge that he [[signal]]ed to some [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman fishermen] occupying a near-by boat to come to his rescue. Entering the boat, he [[continued]] to [[teach]] the assembled [[multitude]] for more than two hours. This boat was named " Simon "; it was the former fishing vessel of [[Peter, the Apostle|Simon Peter]] and had been built by [[Jesus]]' own hands. On this particular morning the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boatbuidling boat] was being used by [[David Zebedee]] and [[two]] [[associates]], who had just come in near shore from a fruitless night of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing fishing] on the [[lake]]. They were cleaning and mending their nets when [[Jesus]] requested them to come to his [[assistance]].

145:1.2 After [[Jesus]] had finished [[teaching]] the people, he said to David: " As you were [[delayed]] by coming to my help, now let me [[work]] with you. Let us go [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing fishing]; put out into yonder deep and let down your nets for a draught. " But Simon, one of David's assistants, answered: " Master, it is useless. We toiled all night and took nothing; however, at your bidding we will put out and let down the nets. " And Simon [[consented]] to follow [[Jesus]]' directions because of a [[gesture]] made by his master, David. When they had [[proceeded]] to the place designated by [[Jesus]], they let down their nets and enclosed such a multitude of fish that they feared the nets would break, so much so that they [[signal]]ed to their [[associates]] on the shore to come to their [[assistance]]. When they had filled all three boats with fish, almost to sinking, this Simon fell down at [[Jesus]]' knees, saying, " Depart from me, Master, for I am a [[sinful]] man. " Simon and all who were concerned in this [[episode]] were [[amazed]] at the draught of fishes. From that day [[David Zebedee]], this Simon, and their [[associates]] forsook their nets and followed [[Jesus]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_5]

145:1.3 But this was in no sense a [[miraculous]] draught of fishes. [[Jesus]] was a close [[student]] of [[nature]]; he was an [[experienced]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman fisherman] and knew the [[habits]] of the fish in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee Sea of Galilee]. On this occasion he merely directed these men to the place where the fish were usually to be found at this time of day. But [[Jesus]]' [[Disciples|followers]] always regarded this as a [[miracle]].

145:2.1 The next [[Sabbath]], at the afternoon service in the [[synagogue]], [[Jesus]] [[preached]] his [[sermon]] on " The Will of the Father in Heaven. " In the morning [[Peter, the Apostle|Simon Peter]] had [[preached]] on " [[The Kingdom]].

[[The prophets]] have all taught you that [[Yahweh]] cares for his people, that [[God]] loves [[Israel]].

145:2.17 And these cases are typical of the [[manner]] in which a [[wonder]]-seeking [[generation]] and a [[miracle]]-minded people unfailingly seized upon all such [[coincidences]] as the [[pretext]] for [[proclaiming]] that another [[miracle]] had been wrought by [[Jesus]].

==145:3. THE HEALING AT SUNDOWN==

==145:3. THE HEALING AT SUNDOWN==

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]].

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 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35#35:8._THE_LANONANDEK_SONS trusted Sons of universe administration][http://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]].

145:3.8 A [[voice]] from the front yard exclaimed: " Master, [[speak]] the [[word]], restore our [[health]], [[heal]] our [[diseases]], and save our [[souls]].

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]].

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.

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.

145:4.1 Throughout the evening following this great outburst of [[healing]], the [[rejoicing]] and [[happy]] throng overran [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee]'s [[home]], and [[the apostles]] of [[Jesus]] were keyed up to the highest [[pitch]] of [[emotional]] [[enthusiasm]]. From a [[human]] [[standpoint]], this was probably the greatest day of all the great days of their [[association]] with [[Jesus]]. At no time before or after did their [[hopes]] surge to such heights of [[confident]] [[expectation]]. [[Jesus]] had told them only a few days before, and when they were yet within the borders of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaria Samaria], that the hour had come when [[the kingdom]] was to be [[proclaimed]] in [[power]], and now their eyes had seen what they supposed was the [[fulfillment]] of that [[promise]]. They were thrilled by the [[vision]] of what was to come if this [[amazing]] [[manifestation]] of [[healing]] [[power]] was just the beginning. Their lingering [[doubts]] of [[Jesus]]' [[divinity]] were banished. They were [[literally]] [[intoxicated]] with the [[ecstasy]] of their bewildered [[enchantment]].

145:4.2 But when they sought for [[Jesus]], they could not find him. [[The Master]] was much perturbed by what had happened. These [[men]], [[women]], and [[children]] who had been [[healed]] of [[diverse]] [[diseases]] lingered late into the evening, [[hoping]] for [[Jesus]]' return that they might [[thank]] him. [[The apostles]] could not [[understand]] [[the Master]]'s [[conduct]] as the hours passed and he remained in [[seclusion]]; their [[joy]] would have been full and [[perfect]] but for his continued [[absence]]. When [[Jesus]] did return to their midst, the hour was late, and [[practically]] all of the beneficiaries of the [[healing]] [[episode]] had gone to their [[homes]]. [[Jesus]] refused the congratulations and [[adoration]] of [[the twelve]] and the others who had lingered to greet him, only saying: " [[Rejoice]] not that [[Universal Father|my Father]] is [[powerful]] to [[heal]] the [[body]], but rather that he is mighty to save the [[soul]]. Let us go to our [[rest]], for tomorrow we must be about [[the Father]]'s business. "

145:4.3 And again did twelve [[disappointed]], [[perplexed]], and [[heart]]-[[sorrow]]ing men go to their [[rest]]; few of them, except [[the twins]], slept much that night. No sooner would [[the Master]] do something to [[cheer]] the [[souls]] and gladden the [[hearts]] of his [[apostles]], than he seemed [[immediately]] to dash their [[hopes]] in pieces and utterly to demolish the [[foundations]] of their [[courage]] and [[enthusiasm]]. As these bewildered [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman fishermen] looked into each other's eyes, there was but one [[thought]]: " We cannot [[understand]] him. What does all this mean? "

==145:5. EARLY SUNDAY MORNING==

==145:5. EARLY SUNDAY MORNING==

145:5.1 Neither did [[Jesus]] sleep much that Saturday night. He [[realized]] that the world was filled with [[physical]] distress and overrun with [[material]] [[difficulties]], and he [[contemplated]] the great [[danger]] of being compelled to [[devote]] so much of his time to the care of the [[sick]] and afflicted that his [[mission]] of [[establishing]] the [[spiritual]] kingdom in the [[hearts]] of men would be interfered with or at least subordinated to the ministry of [[things]] [[physical]]. Because of these and similar [[thoughts]] which occupied the [[mortal]] [[mind]] of [[Jesus]] during the night, he arose that Sunday morning long before [[daybreak]] and went all [[alone]] to one of his favorite places for [[communion]] with [[the Father]]. The [[theme]] of [[Jesus]]' [[prayer]] on this early morning was for [[wisdom]] and [[judgment]] that he might not allow his [[human]] [[sympathy]], joined with his [[divine]] [[mercy]], to make such an [[appeal]] to him in the [[presence]] of [[mortal]] [[suffering]] that all of his time would be occupied with [[physical]] [[ministry]] to the neglect of the [[spiritual]]. Though he did not [[wish]] altogether to avoid ministering to the [[sick]], he knew that he must also do the more important [[work]] of [[spiritual]] teaching and [[religious]] [[training]].

145:5.1 Neither did [[Jesus]] sleep much that Saturday night. He [[realized]] that the world was filled with [[physical]] distress and overrun with [[material]] [[difficulties]], and he [[contemplated]] the great [[danger]] of being compelled to [[devote]] so much of his time to the care of the [[sick]] and afflicted that his [[mission]] of [[establishing]] the [[spiritual]] kingdom in the [[hearts]] of men would be interfered with or at least subordinated to the ministry of [[things]] [[physical]]. Because of these and similar [[thoughts]] which occupied the [[mortal]] [[mind]] of [[Jesus]] during the night, he arose that Sunday morning long before [[daybreak]] and went all [[alone]] to one of his favorite places for [[communion]] with [[the Father]].

145:5.2 [[Jesus]] went out in the hills to [[pray]] so many times because there were no [[private]] rooms suitable for his [[personal]] [[devotions]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_4]

145:5.3 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] could not [[sleep]] that night; so, very early, shortly after [[Jesus]] had gone out to [[pray]], he aroused [[James, the Apostle|James]] and [[John, the Apostle|John]], and the [[three]] went to find their Master. After more than an hour's search they found [[Jesus]] and besought him to tell them the [[reason]] for his [[strange]] [[conduct]]. They [[desired]] to know why he [[appeared]] to be troubled by the mighty outpouring of the [[spirit]] of [[healing]] when all the people were overjoyed and his [[apostles]] so much [[rejoiced]].

145:5.4 For more than four hours [[Jesus]] endeavored to [[explain]] to these [[three]] [[apostles]] what had happened. He taught them about what had transpired and [[explained]] the [[dangers]] of such [[manifestations]]. [[Jesus]] confided to them the [[reason]] for his coming forth to [[pray]]. He sought to make plain to his [[personal]] [[associates]] the real reasons why [[the kingdom]] of [[the Father]] could not be built upon [[wonder]]-working and [[physical]] [[healing]]. But they could not [[comprehend]] his teaching.

145:5.5 Meanwhile, early Sunday morning, other crowds of afflicted [[souls]] and many [[curiosity]] seekers began to gather about the house of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee]. They clamored to see [[Jesus]]. [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and [[the apostles]] were so [[perplexed]] that, while [[Simon, the Apostle|Simon Zelotes]] talked to the assembly, [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]], with several of his associates, went to find [[Jesus]]. When [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] had located [[Jesus]] in company with the [[three]], he said: " Master, why do you leave us alone with [[the multitude]]? Behold, all men seek you; never before have so many sought after your teaching. Even now the house is [[surrounded]] by those who have come from near and far because of your mighty [[works]]. Will you not return with us to minister to them? "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Mark#Chapter]

145:5.6 When [[Jesus]] heard this, he answered: " [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]], have I not taught you and these others that my [[mission]] on [[earth]] is the [[revelation]] of [[the Father]], and my [[message]] the [[proclamation]] of [[the kingdom]] of heaven? How is it, then, that you would have me turn aside from my [[work]] for the [[gratification]] of the [[curious]] and for the [[satisfaction]] of those who seek for signs and [[wonders]]? Have we not been among these people all these months, and have they flocked in multitudes to hear the [[Gospel|good news]] of [[the kingdom]]? Why have they now come to [[besiege]] us? Is it not because of the [[healing]] of their [[physical]] [[bodies]] rather than as a result of the [[reception]] of spiritual [[truth]] for the [[salvation]] of their [[souls]]? When men are [[attracted]] to us because of [[extraordinary]] [[manifestations]], many of them come seeking not for [[truth]] and [[salvation]] but rather in [[quest]] of [[healing]] for their [[physical]] ailments and to secure [[deliverance]] from their [[material]] difficulties.

145:5.8 When [[Jesus]] had [[spoken]], [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and his fellow [[apostles]] [[sorrow]]fully made their way back to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee]'s house, dismissed the assembled multitude, and quickly made ready for the [[journey]] as [[Jesus]] had directed. And so, on the afternoon of Sunday, January 18, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_AD A.D. 28], [[Jesus]] and [[the apostles]] started out upon their first really [[public]] and open [[preaching]] tour of the [[cities]] of [[Galilee]]. On this first tour they [[preached]] the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] in many [[cities]], but they did not [[visit]] [[Nazareth]].

145:5.10 [[The apostles]] were loath to leave the great interest which had been aroused at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum]. [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] calculated that no less than one thousand believers could have been [[baptized]] into [[the kingdom]].
