156:0.1 On Friday afternoon, June 10, [[Jesus]] and his [[associates]] arrived in the environs of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidon Sidon], where they stopped at the [[home]] of a well-to-do [[woman]] who had been a patient in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida] [[hospital]] during the times when [[Jesus]] was at the height of his [[popular]] [[favor]]. The [[evangelists]] and [[the apostles]] were lodged with her [[friends]] in the [[immediate]] [[neighborhood]], and they [[rested]] over the [[Sabbath]] day amid these refreshing [[surrounding]]s. They spent almost two and one-half weeks in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidon Sidon] and vicinity before they [[prepared]] to visit the coast cities to the north.

156:0.2 This June [[Sabbath]] day was one of great [[quiet]]. The [[evangelists]] and [[apostles]] were altogether absorbed in their [[meditations]] regarding the [[discourses]][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_155#155:5._THE_DISCOURSE_ON_TRUE_RELIGION] of [[the Master]] on [[religion]] to which they had [[listened]] en route to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidon Sidon]. They were all able to [[appreciate]] something of what he had told them, but none of them fully grasped the import of his teaching.

==156:1. THE SYRIAN WOMAN==

156:1.1 There lived near the [[home]] of Karuska, where [[the Master]] lodged, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria Syrian] [[woman]] who had heard much of [[Jesus]] as a great [[healer]] and [[teacher]], and on this [[Sabbath]] afternoon she came over, bringing her little daughter. The [[child]], about twelve years old, was [[afflicted]] with a grievous [[nervous]] disorder characterized by convulsions and other distressing [[manifestations]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_mark#Chapter_7]

156:1.2 [[Jesus]] had charged his [[associates]] to tell no one of his [[presence]] at the [[home]] of Karuska, [[explaining]] that he [[desired]] to have a [[rest]]. While they had [[obeyed]] their Master's instructions, the servant of Karuska had gone over to the house of this Syrian [[woman]], Norana, to inform her that [[Jesus]] lodged at the [[home]] of her mistress and had urged this [[anxious]] [[mother]] to bring her afflicted daughter for [[healing]]. This [[mother]], of course, [[believed]] that her [[child]] was [[possessed]] by a [[demon]], an unclean spirit.

This [[mother]], of course, [[believed]] that her [[child]] was [[possessed]] by a [[demon]], an unclean spirit.

156:1.4 Then [[Thomas, the Apostle|Thomas]] sought to send the [[woman]] away but met only with failure. To him she said: " I have [[faith]] that your Master can cast out this [[demon]] which torments my child. I have heard of his mighty [[works]] in [[Galilee]], and I believe in him. What has happened to you, his [[disciples]], that you would send away those who come seeking your Master's help? " And when she had thus spoken, [[Thomas, the Apostle|Thomas]] withdrew.

156:1.5 Then came forward [[Simon Zelotes]] to remonstrate with Norana. Said Simon: " [[Woman]], you are a [[Greek]]-speaking [[gentile]]. It is not right that you should [[expect]] [[the Master]] to take the bread intended for the [[children]] of the [[favored]] household and cast it to the dogs. " But Norana refused to take [[offense]] at Simon's thrust. She replied only: " Yes, teacher, I [[understand]] your [[words]]. I am only a dog in the eyes of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews], but as concerns your Master, I am a believing dog. I am [[determined]] that he shall see my daughter, for I am persuaded that, if he shall but look upon her, he will [[heal]] her. And even you, my [[good]] man, would not dare to deprive the dogs of the [[privilege]] of obtaining the crumbs which [[chance]] to fall from the children's table.

156:1.6 At just this time the little girl was seized with a [[violent]] [[convulsion]] before them all, and the [[mother]] cried out: " There, you can see that my child is [[possessed]] by an [[evil]] spirit. If our need does not impress you, it would [[appeal]] to your Master, who I have been told [[loves]] all men and [[dares]] even to heal the [[gentiles]] when they believe. You are not [[worthy]] to be his disciples. I will not go until my child has been [[cured]]. "

156:1.7 [[Jesus]], who had heard all of this [[conversation]] through an open window, now came outside, much to their [[surprise]], and said: " O [[woman]], great is your faith, so great that I cannot withhold that which you desire; go your way in peace. Your daughter already has been made whole. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_15]And the little girl was well from that hour. As Norana and the [[child]] took leave, [[Jesus]] entreated them to tell no one of this occurrence; and while his associates did comply with this request, the [[mother]] and the [[child]] ceased not to [[proclaim]] the [[fact]] of the little girl's [[healing]] throughout all the countryside and even in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidon Sidon], so much so that [[Jesus]] found it advisable to [[change]] his lodgings within a few days.

156:1.8 The next day, as [[Jesus]] taught his [[apostles]], commenting on the [[cure]] of the daughter of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria Syrian] [[woman]], he said: " And so it has been all the way along; you see for yourselves how the [[gentiles]] are able to [[exercise]] saving [[faith]] in the teachings of the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] of heaven. Verily, verily, I tell you that [[the Father]]'s kingdom shall be taken by the [[gentiles]] if the [http://books.google.com/books?id=Zu6EAAAACAAJ&dq=children+of+Abraham&hl=en&ei=cHm0Tb_NFdGhtwe5krjqDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAQ children of Abraham] are not minded to show [[faith]] enough to enter therein.

156:2.4 In many ways these [[gentile]] believers [[appreciated]] [[Jesus]]' teachings more fully than the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews]. Many of these [[Greek]]-speaking [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_names_for_the_biblical_nameless#Syrophoenician_woman Syrophoenicians] came to know not only that [[Jesus]] was like [[God]] but also that God was like Jesus. These so-called [[heathen]] achieved a [[good]] [[understanding]] of [[the Master]]'s teachings about the [[uniformity]] of the [[laws]] of this world and the entire [[universe]]. They grasped the teaching that [[God]] is no respecter of [[persons]], [[races]], or [[nations]]; that there is no [[favoritism]] with the [[Universal Father]]; that the [[universe]] is wholly and ever [[law]]-abiding and unfailingly dependable. These [[gentiles]] were not afraid of [[Jesus]]; they [[dared]] to [[accept]] his [[message]]. All down through the ages men have not been unable to [[comprehend]] Jesus; they have been afraid to.

156:2.5 [[Jesus]] made it [[clear]] to the twenty-four that he had not fled from [[Galilee]] because he lacked [[courage]] to [[confront]] his [[enemies]]. They [[comprehended]] that he was not yet ready for an open clash with [[established]] [[religion]], and that he did not seek to become a [[martyr]]. It was during one of these [[conferences]] at the home of Justa that [[the Master]] first told his [[disciples]] that " even though [[heaven]] and [[earth]] shall pass away, my [[words]] of [[truth]] shall not.

156:2.6 The [[theme]] of [[Jesus]]' instructions during the [[sojourn]] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidon Sidon] was [[spiritual]] [[progression]]. He told them they could not stand still; they must go forward in [[righteousness]] or [[retrogress]] into [[evil]] and [[sin]]. He admonished them to " [[forget]] those [[things]] which are in the [[past]] while you push forward to [[embrace]] the greater [[realities]] of [[the kingdom]].

156:2.7 Said Jesus: " My [[disciples]] must not only cease to do [[evil]] but learn to do well; you must not only be cleansed from all [[conscious]] [[sin]], but you must refuse to [[harbor]] even the [[feelings]] of [[guilt]]. If you [[confess]] your [[sins]], they are [[forgiven]]; therefore must you [[maintain]] a [[conscience]] void of [[offense]]. "

156:2.8 [[Jesus]] greatly [[enjoyed]] the keen sense of [[humor]] which these [[gentiles]] exhibited.
