191:1.1 It was near half past eight o'clock this Sunday evening when [[Jesus]] [[appeared]] to [[Simon Peter]] in the [[garden]] of the [[John Mark|Mark]] [[home]]. This was his eighth [[morontia]] [[manifestation]]. [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] had lived under a heavy [[burden]] of [[doubt]] and [[guilt]] ever since his [[denial]] of [[the Master]]. All day Saturday and this Sunday he had fought the [[fear]] that, perhaps, he was no longer an [[apostle]]. He had shuddered at the [[fate]] of [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] and even [[thought]] that he, too, had [[betrayed]] his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_(form_of_address) Master]. All this afternoon he [[thought]] that it might be his [[presence]] with [[the apostles]] that prevented [[Jesus]]' [[appearing]] to them, provided, of course, he had really [[Resurrection|risen]] from the [[dead]]. And it was to [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], in such a [[frame]] of [[mind]] and in such a [[state]] of [[soul]], that [[Jesus]] [[appeared]] as the dejected [[apostle]] strolled among the flowers and shrubs.

191:1.2 When [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] [[thought]] of the [[loving]] look of [[the Master]] as [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_184#184:2._PETER_IN_THE_COURTYARD he passed by on Annas's porch], and as he turned over in his [[mind]] that [[wonderful]] [[message]] brought him early that [[morning]] by the [[women]] who came from the empty [[tomb]], " Go tell my [[apostles]]—and [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] "—as he [[contemplated]] these tokens of [[mercy]], his [[faith]] began to surmount his [[doubts]], and he stood still, clenching his fists, while he [[spoke]] aloud: " I [[believe]] he has [[Resurrection|risen]] from the dead; I will go and tell my brethren. " And as he said this, there suddenly [[appeared]] in front of him the [[form]] of a man, who [[spoke]] to him in familiar [[tones]], saying: " [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], the [[enemy]] [[desired]] to have you, but I would not give you up. I knew it was not from the [[heart]] that you disowned me; therefore I [[forgave]] you even before you asked; but now must you cease to [[think]] about yourself and the [[troubles]] of the hour while you [[prepare]] to carry the good news of the [[gospel]] to those who sit in [[darkness]]. No longer should you be concerned with what you may obtain from [[the kingdom]] but rather be [[exercised]] about what you can give to those who live in dire [[spiritual]] [[poverty]].

191:1.3 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and the [[morontia]] [[Jesus]] walked through the [[garden]] and talked of [[things]] [[past]], [[present]], and [[future]] for almost five minutes. Then [[the Master]] vanished from his gaze, saying, " [[Farewell]], [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], until I see you with your brethren. "

191:1.4 For a [[moment]], [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] was overcome by the [[realization]] that he had talked with the [[Resurrection|risen]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_(form_of_address) Master], and that he could be sure he was still an [[ambassador]] of [[the kingdom]]. He had just heard the [[glorified]] Master [[exhort]] him to go on [[preaching]] the [[gospel]]. And with all this welling up within his [[heart]], he rushed to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cenacle upper chamber] and into the [[presence]] of his fellow [[apostles]], [[exclaiming]] in breathless [[excitement]]: " I have seen [[the Master]]; he was in the [[garden]]. I talked with him, and he has [[forgiven]] me. "

191:1.5 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]'s [[declaration]] that he had seen [[Jesus]] in the [[garden]] made a [[profound]] impression upon his fellow [[apostles]], and they were about ready to [[surrender]] their [[doubts]] when [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] got up and [[warned]] them not to be too much [[influenced]] by his [[brother]]'s report. [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] intimated that [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] had seen things which were not [[real]] before.
