162:9.1 Throughout the week that followed the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkot feast of tabernacles], scores of [[believers]] forgathered at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany] and received instruction from the [[twelve apostles]]. The [[Sanhedrin]] made no [[effort]] to [[molest]] these gatherings since [[Jesus]] was not present; he was throughout this [[time]] working with [[Abner]] and his [[associates]] in [[Bethlehem]]. The day following the close of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkot the feast], [[Jesus]] had departed for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany], and he did not again [[teach]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Temple the temple] during this visit to [[Jerusalem]].

162:9.2 At this time, [[Abner]] was making his [[headquarters]] at [[Bethlehem]], and from that [[center]] many workers had been sent to the [[cities]] of [[Judea]] and southern [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaria Samaria] and even to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria Alexandria]. Within a few days of his arrival, [[Jesus]] and [[Abner]] completed the arrangements for the [[consolidation]] of the [[work]] of the [[two]] [[groups]] of [[apostles]].

162:9.3 Throughout his [[visit]] to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkot feast of tabernacles], [[Jesus]] had divided his [[time]] about equally between [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany] and [[Bethlehem]]. At [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany] he spent considerable time with his [[apostles]]; at [[Bethlehem]] he gave much instruction to [[Abner]] and the other former [[apostles]] of [[John the Baptist|John]]. And it was this [[intimate]] [[contact]] that finally led them to [[believe]] in him. These former [[apostles]] of [[John the Baptist]] were [[influenced]] by the [[courage]] he displayed in his [[public]] [[teaching]] in [[Jerusalem]] as well as by the [[sympathetic]] [[understanding]] they [[experienced]] in his [[private]] teaching at [[Bethlehem]]. These [[influences]] finally and fully won over each of [[Abner]]'s [[associates]] to a wholehearted [[acceptance]] of [[the kingdom]] and all that such a step implied.

162:9.4 Before leaving [[Bethlehem]] for the last time, [[the Master]] made arrangements for them all to join him in the [[united]] [[effort]] which was to precede the ending of his [[earth]] [[career]] in the flesh. It was [[agreed]] that [[Abner]] and his [[associates]] were to join [[Jesus]] and [[the twelve]] in the near [[future]] at [http://urantiabook.org/jesus_photos/feeding-five-thousand.html Magadan Park].
