133:9.1 The [[caravan]] trip across the [[desert]] was not a new [[experience]] for these much-traveled men. After Ganid had watched his [[teacher]] help with the loading of their twenty camels and [[observed]] him [[volunteer]] to drive their own animal, he exclaimed, " Teacher, is there anything that you cannot do? " [[Jesus]] only smiled, saying, " The teacher surely is not without [[honor]] in the eyes of a [[diligent]] [[pupil]]. " And so they set forth for the ancient [[city]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur Ur].
133:9.2 [[Jesus]] was much interested in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur#Early_history early history of Ur], the birthplace of [[Abraham]], and he was equally [[fascinate]]d with the ruins and [[traditions]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susa Susa], so much so that Gonod and Ganid extended their stay in these parts three weeks in order to afford [[Jesus]] more time to conduct his [[investigations]] and also to provide the better [[opportunity]] to [[persuade]] him to go back to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_India India] with them.
133:9.3 It was at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur Ur] that Ganid had a long talk with [[Jesus]] regarding the [[difference]] between [[knowledge]], [[wisdom]], and [[truth]]. And he was greatly charmed with the saying of the [[Hebrew]] wise man: " [[Wisdom]] is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. With all your [[quest]] for [[knowledge]], get [[understanding]]. Exalt [[wisdom]] and she will promote you. She will bring you to [[honor]] if you will but [[embrace]] her. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Proverbs#Proverb_.4]
133:9.4 At last the day came for the [[separation]]. They were all [[brave]], especially the lad, but it was a trying [[ordeal]]. They were tearful of eye but [[courageous]] of [[heart]]. In bidding his [[teacher]] [[farewell]], Ganid said: " [[Farewell]], Teacher, but not forever. When I come again to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus Damascus], I will look for you. I [[love]] you, for I think [[the Father]] in [[heaven]] must be something like you; at least I know you are much like what you have told me about him. I will [[remember]] your teaching, but most of all, I will never forget you. " Said the [[father]], " [[Farewell]] to a great [[teacher]], one who has made us better and helped us to [[know]] [[God]]. " And [[Jesus]] replied, " [[Peace]] be upon you, and may the [[blessing]] of [[the Father]] in [[heaven]] ever abide with you. " And [[Jesus]] stood on the shore and watched as the small boat carried them out to their anchored ship. Thus [[the Master]] left his [[friends]] from India at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charax_Spasinou Charax], never to see them again in this world; nor were they, in this world, ever to know that the man who later [[appeared]] as [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] was this same friend they had just taken leave of—Joshua their [[teacher]].
133:9.5 In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India India], Ganid grew up to become an [[influential]] man, a [[worthy]] successor of his eminent [[father]], and he spread abroad many of the [[noble]] [[truths]] which he had learned from [[Jesus]], his beloved [[teacher]]. Later on in life, when Ganid heard of the strange teacher in [[Palestine]] who terminated his [[career]] on a cross, though he [[recognized]] the similarity between the [[gospel]] of this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] and the teachings of his [[Jewish]] [[tutor]], it never occurred to him that these two were actually the same person.
133:9.6 Thus ended that chapter in the life of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] which might be termed: The [[mission]] of Joshua the [[teacher]].
