130:5.1 The travelers had but one [[purpose]] in going to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete Crete], and that was to [[play]], to walk about over the island, and to climb the [[mountains]]. The Cretans of that time did not enjoy an enviable [[reputation]] among the surrounding peoples. Nevertheless, [[Jesus]] and Ganid won many [[souls]] to higher levels of [[thinking]] and living and thus laid the [[foundation]] for the quick [[reception]] of the later [[gospel]] teachings when the first preachers from [[Jerusalem]] arrived. [[Jesus]] loved these Cretans, notwithstanding the harsh [[words]] which [[Paul, the Apostle|Paul]] later spoke concerning them when he subsequently sent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titus_(Biblical) Titus] to the island to reorganize their churches.

130:5.2 On the mountainside in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete Crete] [[Jesus]] had his first long talk with Gonod regarding [[religion]]. And the [[father]] was much impressed, saying: " No wonder the boy believes everything you tell him, but I never knew they had such a [[religion]] even in [[Jerusalem]], much less in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus Damascus]. " It was during the island [[sojourn]] that Gonod first [[proposed]] to [[Jesus]] that he go back to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India India] with them, and Ganid was delighted with the [[thought]] that [[Jesus]] might consent to such an arrangement.

130:5.3 One day when Ganid asked [[Jesus]] why he had not [[devoted]] himself to the [[work]] of a [[public]] [[teacher]], he said: " My son, everything must await the coming of its time. You are [[born]] into the world, but no amount of [[anxiety]] and no [[manifestation]] of impatience will help you to [[grow]] up. You must, in all such matters, wait upon [[time]]. Time alone will ripen the green fruit upon the tree. [[Season]] follows season and sundown follows sunrise only with the passing of time. I am now on the way to [[Rome]] with you and your [[father]], and that is sufficient for today. My tomorrow is wholly in the hands of [[Universal Father|my Father]] in heaven. " And then he told Ganid the [[story]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] and the forty years of watchful waiting and continued [[preparation]].

130:5.4 One thing happened on a [[visit]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaloi_Limenes_(port) Fair Havens] which Ganid never forgot; the [[memory]] of this [[episode]] always caused him to wish he might do something to [[change]] the [[caste]] system of his native [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India India]. A drunken [[degenerate]] was attacking a [[slave]] girl on the public highway. When [[Jesus]] saw the plight of the girl, he rushed forward and drew the [[maiden]] away from the [[assault]] of the madman. While the frightened child clung to him, he held the infuriated man at a safe distance by his powerful extended right arm until the poor fellow had [[exhausted]] himself beating the air with his angry blows. Ganid felt a strong [[impulse]] to help [[Jesus]] handle the affair, but his [[father]] forbade him. Though they could not speak the girl's [[language]], she could [[understand]] their [[act]] of [[mercy]] and gave token of her heartfelt [[appreciation]] as they all three escorted her [[home]]. This was probably as near a personal encounter with his fellows as [[Jesus]] ever had throughout his entire life in the [[flesh]]. But he had a [[difficult]] task that evening trying to [[explain]] to Ganid why he did not smite the drunken man. Ganid [[thought]] this man should have been [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_for_an_eye struck at least as many times as he had struck the girl].
