Throughout this five months' period of the dry season an enormous camp was maintained by the seaside near the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] residence, which had been greatly enlarged to accommodate the growing [[family]] of [[Jesus]]. This seaside camp, occupied by an ever-changing [[population]] of [[truth]] [[seekers]], [[healing]] [[candidates]], and [[curiosity]] devotees, numbered from five hundred to fifteen hundred. This [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent_city tented city] was under the general supervision of [[David Zebedee]], assisted by the [[The twins|Alpheus twins]]. The encampment was a [[model]] in order and [[sanitation]] as well as in its general [[administration]].

148:0.2 Throughout this period [[the apostles]] would go fishing at least one day a week, selling their catch to [[David Zebedee|David]] for consumption by the seaside encampment. The [[funds]] thus received were turned over to the group treasury. [[The twelve]] were [[permitted]] to spend one week out of each month with their [[families]] or [[friends]].

148:0.3 While [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] continued in general charge of the apostolic [[activities]], [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] was in full charge of the [[school]] of the [[evangelists]]. [[The apostles]] all did their [[share]] in teaching groups of evangelists each forenoon, and both [[teachers]] and [[pupils]] taught the people during the afternoons. After the evening meal, five nights a week, [[the apostles]] conducted question classes for the benefit of the [[evangelists]]. Once a week [[Jesus]] presided at this question hour, answering the holdover questions from previous sessions.

148:0.4 In five months several thousand came and went at this encampment. Interested [[persons]] from every part of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_empire Roman Empire] and from the lands east of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphrates Euphrates] were in frequent attendance. This was the longest settled and well-[[organized]] period of [[the Master]]'s teaching. [[Jesus]]' immediate [[family]] spent most of this time at either [[Nazareth]] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cana Cana].

148:0.5 The encampment was not conducted as a [[community]] of common interests, as was the apostolic family. [[David Zebedee]] managed this large [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent_city tent city] so that it became a self-sustaining [[enterprise]], notwithstanding that no one was ever turned away. This ever-changing camp was an indispensable feature of [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]'s [[evangelist]]ic [[training]] [[school]].
