And when Nathan sat down, Jesus said:  

*"Peace be upon you. That which my Father sent me into the world to establish belongs not to a race, a nation, nor to a special group of teachers or preachers. This '''gospel of the kingdom''' belongs to both Jew and gentile, to rich and poor, to free and bond, to male and female, even to the little children. And you are all to proclaim this '''gospel of love and truth''' by the lives that you live in the flesh. You shall love one another with a new and startling affection, even as I have loved you. You will serve mankind with a new and amazing devotion, even as I have served you. And when men see you so love them, and when they behold how fervently you serve them, they will perceive that you have become faith-fellows of the kingdom of heaven, and they will follow after the '''Spirit of Truth''' that they see in your lives, to the finding of '''eternal salvation'''. As the Father sent me into this world, even so now send I you. You are all called to carry the good news to those who sit in darkness. This '''gospel of the kingdom''' belongs to all who believe it. It shall not be committed to the custody of mere priests. '''Soon will the Spirit of Truth come upon you, and he shall lead you into all truth'''. Go you, therefore, into all the world preaching this gospel, and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the ages."

When the Master had so spoken, he vanished from their sight. And they all believed that Jesus had risen from the dead.
