163:6.1 On Friday, December 30, while [[Jesus]] was away in the near-by hills with [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], [[James, the Apostle|James]], and [[John, the Apostle|John]], the seventy [[messengers]] were arriving by couples, accompanied by numerous [[believers]], at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pella,_Jordan Pella] headquarters. All seventy were assembled at the [[teaching]] site about five o'clock when [[Jesus]] returned to the camp. The evening meal was delayed for more than an hour while these [[enthusiasts]] for the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] related their [[experiences]]. [[David Zebedee|David]]'s [[messengers]] had brought much of this news to [[the apostles]] during previous weeks, but it was truly [[inspiring]] to hear these newly [[ordained]] [[teachers]] of the [[gospel]] [[personally]] tell how their [[message]] had been [[received]] by [[hungry]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] and [[gentiles]]. At last [[Jesus]] was able to see men going out to spread the [[Gospel|good news]] without his [[personal]] [[presence]]. [[The Master]] now knew that he could leave this world without seriously hindering the [[progress]] of [[the kingdom]].

163:6.2 When the seventy related how " even the [[devils]] were subject "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_10] to them, they referred to the [[wonderful]] [[cures]] they had wrought in the cases of [[victims]] of nervous disorders. Nevertheless, there had been a few cases of real [[Possessed|spirit possession]] relieved by these ministers, and referring to these, [[Jesus]] said: " It is not strange that these [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:7._THE_REBEL_MIDWAYERS disobedient minor spirits] should be subject to you, seeing that I beheld [[Satan]] falling as lightning from heaven.

163:6.3 And it was at this time, just before partaking of the evening meal, that [[Jesus]] [[experienced]] one of those rare [[moments]] of [[emotional]] [[ecstasy]] which his followers had occasionally [[witnessed]]. He said: " I thank you, my Father, Lord of [[heaven]] and [[earth]], that, while this [[wonderful]] [[gospel]] was hidden from the [[wise]] and [[self-righteous]], the [[spirit]] has [[revealed]] these spiritual glories to these [[children]] of [[the kingdom]]. Yes, my Father, it must have been pleasing in your [[sight]] to do this, and I [[rejoice]] to know that the good news will spread to all the world even after I shall have returned to you and the [[work]] which you have given me to [[perform]]. I am mightily moved as I [[realize]] you are about to deliver all [[authority]] into my hands, that only you really know who I am, and that only I really know you, and those to whom I have [[revealed]] you. And when I have finished this [[revelation]] to my brethren in the [[flesh]], I will continue the [[revelation]] to your [[creatures]] on high.
