129:1.1 In January of this year, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_AD A.D. 21], on a rainy Sunday morning, [[Jesus]] took unceremonious leave of his [[family]], only [[explaining]] that he was going over to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberias Tiberias] and then on a [[visit]] to other [[cities]] about the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee Sea of Galilee]. And thus he left them, never again to be a regular member of that household.

129:1.2 He spent one week at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberias Tiberias], the new [[city]] which was soon to succeed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepphoris Sepphoris] as the capital of [[Galilee]]; and finding little to interest him, he passed on successively through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdala Magdala] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum], where he stopped to pay a visit to his [[father]]'s friend Zebedee. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee]'s sons were fishermen; he himself was a boatbuilder. [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] was an expert in both [[design]]ing and building; he was a master at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodworking working with wood]; and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] had long known of the [[skill]] of the [[Nazareth]] craftsman. For a long time Zebedee had [[contemplated]] making improved boats; he now laid his [[plans]] before [[Jesus]] and invited the visiting [[carpenter]] to join him in the [[enterprise]], and [[Jesus]] readily consented.

129:1.3 [[Jesus]] worked with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] only a little more than one year, but during that time he created a new style of boat and established entirely new [[methods]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boat_building boatmaking]. By superior [[technique]] and greatly improved [[methods]] of steaming the boards, [[Jesus]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] began to build boats of a very superior type, craft which were far more safe for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing sailing] the lake than were the older types. For several years Zebedee had more [[work]], turning out these new-style boats, than his small establishment could handle; in less than five years practically all the craft on the [[lake]] had been built in the shop of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum]. [[Jesus]] became well known to the [[Galilean]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman fisherfolk] as the designer of the new boats.

129:1.4 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] was a moderately well-to-do man; his boatbuilding shops were on the [[lake]] to the south of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum], and his [[home]] was situated down the [[lake]] shore near the fishing [[headquarters]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida]. [[Jesus]] lived in the [[home]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] during the year and more he remained at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum]. He had long worked alone in the world, that is, without a [[father]], and greatly enjoyed this period of working with a [[father]]-[[partner]].

129:1.5 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee]'s [[wife]], Salome, was a [[relative]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annas Annas], onetime [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_High_Priests_of_Israel high priest] at [[Jerusalem]] and still the most [[influential]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadducees Sadducean] group, having been deposed only eight years previously. Salome became a great admirer of [[Jesus]]. She [[loved]] him as she loved her own sons, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James,_son_of_Zebedee James], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Apostle John], and [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_149#PAPER_149:_THE_SECOND_PREACHING_TOUR David], while her four daughters looked upon Jesus as their [[elder]] [[brother]]. Jesus often went out fishing with James, John, and David, and they [[learned]] that he was an experienced fisherman as well as an expert boatbuilder.

129:1.6 All this year [[Jesus]] sent [[money]] each month to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James]. He returned to [[Nazareth]] in October to attend Martha's wedding, and he was not again in Nazareth for over two years, when he returned shortly before the double [[wedding]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(brother_of_Jesus) Simon] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jude,_brother_of_Jesus Jude].

129:1.7 Throughout this year [[Jesus]] built boats and continued to [[observe]] how men lived on [[earth]]. Frequently he would go down to [[visit]] at the [[caravan]] station, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] being on the direct [[travel]] route from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus Damascus] to the south. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] was a strong [[Roman]] [[military]] post, and the garrison's commanding officer was a [[gentile]] believer in [[Yahweh]], " a devout man, " as the [[Jews]] were wont to designate such [[proselytes]]. This officer belonged to a [[wealthy]] [[Roman]] [[family]], and he took it upon himself to build a [[beautiful]] [[synagogue]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum], which had been presented to the [[Jews]] a short time before [[Jesus]] came to live with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee]. [[Jesus]] conducted the services in this new [[synagogue]] more than half the time this year, and some of the [[caravan]] people who chanced to attend remembered him as the [[carpenter]] from [[Nazareth]].

129:1.8 When it came to the payment of [[taxes]], Jesus registered himself as a " skilled craftsman of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum]. " From this day on to the end of his [[earth]] life he was known as a resident of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum]. He never claimed any other [[legal]] residence, although he did, for various reasons, [[permit]] others to assign his residence to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus Damascus], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany], [[Nazareth]], and even [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria Alexandria].

129:1.9 At the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] [[synagogue]] he found many new [[books]] in the [[library]] chests, and he spent at least five evenings a week at [[intense]] [[study]]. One evening he [[devoted]] to [[social]] life with the older folks, and one evening he spent with the [[Youth|young]] people. There was something [[gracious]] and [[inspiring]] about the [[personality]] of [[Jesus]] which invariably attracted young people. He always made them feel at ease in his [[presence]]. Perhaps his great [[secret]] in getting along with them consisted in the twofold [[fact]] that he was always interested in what they were [[doing]], while he seldom offered them [[advice]] unless they asked for it.

129:1.10 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] [[family]] almost [[worshiped]] [[Jesus]], and they never failed to attend the [[conferences]] of questions and answers which he conducted each evening after supper before he departed for the [[synagogue]] to [[study]]. The [[youth]]ful [[neighbors]] also came in frequently to attend these after-supper meetings. To these little gatherings [[Jesus]] gave varied and advanced instruction, just as advanced as they could [[comprehend]]. He talked quite freely with them, [[expressing]] his [[ideas]] and [[ideals]] about [[politics]], [[sociology]], [[science]], and [[philosophy]], but never presumed to speak with [[authoritative]] finality except when discussing [[religion]]—the [[relation]] of [[man]] to [[God]].

129:1.11 Once a week [[Jesus]] held a meeting with the entire household, shop, and shore helpers, for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] had many employees. And it was among these workers that [[Jesus]] was first called " the Master. " They all [[loved]] him.

129:1.12 Of the sons of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_son_of_Zebedee James] was the most interested in [[Jesus]] as a [[teacher]], as a [[philosopher]]. [John, the Apostle|John]] cared most for his [[religious]] teaching and [[opinions]]. David respected him as a mechanic but took little stock in his [[religious]] views and [[philosophic]] teachings.

129:1.14 This year [[Jesus]] made great advances in the [[Seven psychic circles|ascendant mastery]] of his human [[mind]] and [[attained]] new and high levels of [[conscious]] [[contact]] with his indwelling [[Thought Adjuster]].
