144:1.4 During these September weeks they [[rested]], [[visited]], recounted their [[experiences]] since [[Jesus]] first called them to [[service]], and [[engaged]] in an [[earnest]] [[effort]] to [[co-ordinate]] what [[the Master]] had so far taught them. In a [[measure]] they all sensed that this would be their last [[opportunity]] for prolonged [[rest]]. They [[realized]] that their next [[public]] [[effort]] in either [[Judea]] or [[Galilee]] would mark the beginning of the final [[proclamation]] of the coming [[The Kingdom|kingdom]], but they had little or no settled [[idea]] as to what [[the kingdom]] would be when it came. [[John, the Apostle|John]] and [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] thought [[the kingdom]] had already come; [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and [[James, the Apostle|James]] believed that it was yet to come; [[Nathaniel]] and [[Thomas, the Apostle|Thomas]] frankly [[confessed]] they were puzzled; [[Matthew, the Apostle|Matthew]], [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], and [[Simon, the Apostle|Simon Zelotes]] were uncertain and [[confused]]; [[the twins]] were blissfully [[ignorant]] of the [[controversy]]; and[[ Judas Iscariot]] was [[silent]], noncommittal.

144:1.5 Much of this time [[Jesus]] was [[alone]] on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Gilboa mountain] near the camp. Occasionally he took with him [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], [[James, the Apostle|James]], or [[John, the Apostle|John]], but more often he went off to [[pray]] or [[commune]] [[alone]]. Subsequent to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_136#136:2._THE_BAPTISM_OF_JESUS baptism] of [[Jesus]] and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_136#136:3._THE_FORTY_DAYS forty days] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perea_(Holy_Land) Perean hills], it is hardly proper to speak of these [[seasons]] of [[communion]] with [[Universal Father|his Father]] as [[prayer]], nor is it [[consistent]] to speak of [[Jesus]] as [[worshiping]], but it is altogether correct to allude to these [[seasons]] as [[personal]] [[communion]] with [[Universal Father|his Father]].

144:1.6 The central [[theme]] of the [[discussions]] throughout the entire month of September was [[prayer]] and [[worship]]. After they had [[discussed]] [[worship]] for some days, [[Jesus]] finally delivered his [[memorable]] [[discourse]] on [[prayer]] in answer to [[Thomas, the Apostle|Thomas]]'s request: " Master, teach us how to [[pray]]. "
