127:6.6 On this [[visit]] occurred one of those periodic outbreaks of [[rebellion]] against [[tradition]]—the [[expression]] of resentment for those [[ceremonial]] [[practices]] which [[Jesus]] deemed misrepresentative of [[Universal Father|his Father]] in heaven. Not knowing [[Jesus]] was coming, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus Lazarus] had arranged to celebrate the [[Passover]] with [[friends]] in an adjoining village down the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho Jericho] road. [[Jesus]] now [[proposed]] that they celebrate the feast where they were, at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus Lazarus]'s house. " But, " said Lazarus, " we have no [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korban_Pesach paschal lamb]. " And then Jesus entered upon a prolonged and convincing [[dissertation]] to the [[effect]] that [[the Father]] in heaven was not truly concerned with such childlike and meaningless [[rituals]]. After solemn and fervent [[prayer]] they rose, and [[Jesus]] said: " Let the childlike and [[darkened]] [[minds]] of my people serve their [[God]] as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] directed; it is better that they do, but let us who have seen the [[light]] of life no longer approach [[our Father]] by the [[darkness]] of [[death]]. Let us be [[free]] in the [[knowledge]] of the [[truth]] of [[our Father]]'s [[eternal]] [[love]]. "

127:6.7 That evening about [[twilight]] these four sat down and partook of the first [[Passover]] feast ever to be [[celebrated]] by [[devout]] [[Jews]] without the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korban_Pesach paschal lamb]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unleavened_bread unleavened bread] and the wine had been made ready for this [[Passover]], and these emblems, which [[Jesus]] termed " the bread of life " and " the water of life, " he served to his [[companions]], and they ate in [[solemn]] [[conformity]] with the teachings just imparted. It was his [[custom]] to [[engage]] in this sacramental [[ritual]] whenever he paid subsequent visits to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany]. When he returned [[home]], he told all this to his [[mother]]. She was [[shocked]] at first but came [[gradually]] to see his [[viewpoint]]; nevertheless, she was greatly relieved when [[Jesus]] assured her that he did not [[intend]] to introduce this new [[idea]] of the [[Passover]] in their [[family]]. At [[home]] with the [[children]] he continued, year by year, to eat the [[Passover]] " according to the law of Moses. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.12]

127:6.8 It was during this year that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] had a long talk with [[Jesus]] about [[marriage]]. She frankly asked him if he would get married if he were free from his [[family]] [[responsibilities]]. Jesus explained to her that, since immediate [[duty]] forbade his [[marriage]], he had given the subject little [[thought]]. He expressed himself as doubting that he would ever enter the [[marriage]] state; he said that all such things must await " my hour, " the time when " [[our Father|my Father]]'s work must begin. " Having settled already in his [[mind]] that he was not to become the [[father]] of [[children]] in the [[flesh]], he gave very little [[thought]] to the subject of human [[marriage]].
