135:9.4 About three weeks after [[Jesus]] had left them, there arrived on the scene at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pella Pella] a new deputation from the [[priests]] and [[Pharisees]] at [[Jerusalem]]. They asked [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John] directly if he was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah Elijah] or the [[prophet]] that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] promised; and when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John] said, " I am not, " they made bold to ask, " Are you the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_messianism Messiah]? " and John answered, " I am not. " Then said these men from [[Jerusalem]]: " If you are not Elijah, nor the [[prophet]], nor the [[Messiah]], then why do you [[baptize]] the people and create all this stir? " And John replied: " It should be for those who have heard me and received my [[baptism]] to say who I am, but I [[declare]] to you that, while I [[baptize]] with [[water]], there has been among us one who will return to baptize you with the [[Holy Spirit]].

135:9.5 These forty days were a [[difficult]] period for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John] and his [[disciples]]. What was to be the [[relation]] of John to [[Jesus]]? A hundred questions came up for [[discussion]]. [[Politics]] and selfish preferment began to make their [[appearance]]. [[Intense]] [[discussions]] grew up around the various [[ideas]] and [[concepts]] of the [[Messiah]]. Would he become a [[military]] leader and a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidic_line Davidic king]? Would he smite the [[Roman]] armies as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua Joshua] had the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua#Conquest_of_Canaan Canaanites]? Or would he come to [[establish]] a [[spiritual]] kingdom? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John] rather decided, with the minority, that [[Jesus]] had come to establish the kingdom of heaven, although he was not altogether clear in his own [[mind]] as to just what was to be [[embraced]] within this [[mission]] of the establishment of the kingdom of heaven.

135:9.6 These were strenuous days in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John]'s [[experience]], and he [[prayed]] for the return of [[Jesus]]. Some of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John]'s [[disciples]] organized scouting parties to go in search of [[Jesus]], but John forbade, saying: " Our times are in the hands of the God of heaven; he will direct his chosen Son.
