140:7.1 After a few hours' [[sleep]], when [[the twelve]] were assembled for a late breakfast with [[Jesus]], he said: " Now must you begin your [[work]] of [[preaching]] the glad tidings and instructing believers. Make ready to go to [[Jerusalem]]. " After [[Jesus]] had spoken, [[Thomas, the Apostle|Thomas]] mustered up [[courage]] to say: " I know, Master, that we should now be ready to enter upon the [[work]], but I fear we are not yet able to accomplish this great undertaking. Would you consent for us to stay hereabouts for just a few days more before we begin the work of [[the kingdom]]? " And when [[Jesus]] saw that all of his [[apostles]] were possessed by this same [[fear]], he said: " It shall be as you have requested; we will remain here over the [[Sabbath]] day. "
140:7.2 For weeks and weeks small [[groups]] of [[earnest]] [[truth]] seekers, [[together]] with [[curious]] [[spectators]], had been coming to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida] to see [[Jesus]]. Already word about him had spread over the [[countryside]]; [[inquiring]] [[groups]] had come from [[cities]] as far away as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyre,_Lebanon Tyre], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidon Sidon], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus Damascus], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesarea Caesarea], and [[Jerusalem]]. Heretofore, [[Jesus]] had greeted these people and taught them concerning [[the kingdom]], but [[the Master]] now turned this [[work]] over to [[the twelve]]. [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] would select one of [[the apostles]] and assign him to a group of [[visitors]], and sometimes all twelve of them were so [[engaged]].
140:7.3 For two days they worked, teaching by day and holding [[private]] [[conferences]] late into the night. On the third day [[Jesus]] visited with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee and Salome] while he sent his [[apostles]] off to " go fishing, seek carefree [[change]], or perchance [[visit]] your [[families]]. " On Thursday they returned for three more days of [[teaching]].
140:7.4 During this week of [[rehearsing]], [[Jesus]] many times repeated to his [[apostles]] the two great [[motives]] of his postbaptismal [[mission]] on [[earth]]:
*1. To [[reveal]] [[the Father]] to [[man]].
*2. To [[lead]] men to become [[God|son]]-[[conscious]]—to [[faith]]-[[realize]] that they are the [[children]] of the [[Most High]].
140:7.5 One week of this varied [[experience]] did much for [[the twelve]]; some even became over [[self]]-[[confident]]. At the last [[conference]], the night after the [[Sabbath]], [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and [[James, the Apostle|James]] came to [[Jesus]], saying, " We are ready—let us now go forth to take [[the kingdom]]. " To which Jesus replied, " May your [[wisdom]] [[equal]] your zeal and your [[courage]] [[atone]] for your [[ignorance]]. "
140:7.6 Though [[the apostles]] failed to [[comprehend]] much of his teaching, they did not fail to grasp the significance of the [[charming]]ly [[beautiful]] life he lived with them.
