191:6.1 While the eleven [[apostles]] were on the way to [[Galilee]], drawing near their [[journey]]'s end, on Tuesday evening, April 18, at about half past eight o'clock, [[Jesus]] appeared to [[Rodan]] and some eighty other [[believers]], in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria Alexandria]. This was [[the Master]]'s twelfth [[appearance]] in [[morontia]] [[form]]. [[Jesus]] [[appeared]] before these [[Greeks]] and [[Jews]] at the conclusion of the report of [[David Zebedee|David]]'s [[messenger]] regarding the [[crucifixion]]. This [[messenger]], being the fifth in the [[Jerusalem]]-[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria Alexandria] relay of runners, had arrived in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria Alexandria] late that afternoon, and when he had delivered his [[message]] to [[Rodan]], it was [[decided]] to call the [[believers]] together to [[receive]] this [[tragic]] [[word]] from the [[messenger]] himself. At about eight o'clock, the [[messenger]], Nathan of Busiris, came before this [[group]] and told them in detail all that had been told him by the preceding runner. Nathan ended his [[touching]] [[recital]] with these [[words]]: " But [[David Zebedee|David]], who sends us this [[word]], reports that [[the Master]], in [[foretelling]] his [[death]], [[declared]] that he would [[Resurrection|rise]] again. " Even as Nathan spoke, the [[morontia]] [[the Master|Master]] [[appeared]] there in full view of all. And when Nathan sat down, [[Jesus]] said:

191:6.2 " [[Peace]] be upon you. That which [[the Father|my Father]] sent me into the world to [[establish]] belongs not to a [[race]], a [[nation]], nor to a special [[group]] of [[teachers]] or [[preachers]]. This [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] belongs to both [[Jew]] and [[gentile]], to [[rich]] and [[poor]], to [[free]] and [[Slave|bond]], to [[male]] and [[female]], even to the little [[children]]. And you are all to [[proclaim]] this [[gospel]] of [[love]] and [[truth]] by the lives which you live in the [[flesh]]. You shall [[love]] one another with a new and [[startling]] [[affection]], even as I have [[loved]] you. You will serve [[mankind]] with a new and amazing [[devotion]], even as I have served you. And when men see you so [[love]] them, and when they behold how fervently you serve them, they will [[perceive]] that you have become [[faith]]-fellows of [[the kingdom]] of heaven, and they will follow after the [[Spirit of Truth]] which they see in your lives, to the finding of [[eternal]] [[salvation]].

191:6.3 " As [[the Father]] sent me into this world, even so now send I you.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_17] You are all called to carry the good news to those who sit in [[darkness]]. This [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] belongs to all who [[believe]] it; it shall not be [[committed]] to the [[custody]] of mere [[priests]]. Soon will the [[Spirit of Truth]] come upon you, and he shall lead you into all [[truth]]. Go you, therefore, into all the world [[preaching]] this [[gospel]], and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the ages. "

191:6.4 When [[the Master]] had so [[spoken]], he vanished from their [[sight]]. All that night these [[believers]] remained there [[together]] recounting their [[experiences]] as kingdom [[believers]] and [[listening]] to the many [[words]] of [[Rodan]] and his [[associates]]. And they all [[believed]] that [[Jesus]] had [[Resurrection|risen]] from the dead. [[Imagine]] the [[surprise]] of [[David Zebedee|David]]'s [[herald]] of the [[resurrection]], who arrived the second day after this, when they replied to his [[announcement]], saying: " Yes, we know, for we have seen him. He [[appeared]] to us day before yesterday. "
