158:4.6 As [[the apostles]] [[listened]], [[Simon Zelotes]] and [[Judas Iscariot]] stepped into the [[presence]] of the [[father]], saying: " We can [[heal]] him; you need not wait for [[the Master]]'s return. We are [[ambassadors]] of [[the kingdom]]; no longer do we hold these things in [[secret]]. [[Jesus]] is the [[Messiah|Deliverer]], and the keys of [[the kingdom]] have been delivered to us. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_16] By this time [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and [[Thomas, the Apostle|Thomas]] were in [[consultation]] at one side. [[Nathaniel]] and the others looked on in [[amazement]]; they were all aghast at the sudden [[boldness]], if not [[presumption]], of [[Simon Zelotes|Simon]] and [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]]. Then said the [[father]]: " If it has been given you to do these [[work]]s, I [[pray]] that you will [[speak]] those [[words]] which will deliver my child from this [[bondage]]. " Then [[Simon Zelotes|Simon]] stepped forward and, placing his hand on the head of the [[child]], looked directly into his eyes and commanded: " Come out of him, you unclean spirit; in the name of [[Jesus]] [[obey]] me. " But the lad had only a more [[violent]] fit, while the [[scribes]] [[mocked]] [[the apostles]] in [[derision]], and the [[disappointed]] believers [[suffered]] the taunts of these unfriendly [[critics]].

158:4.7 [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] was deeply [[chagrined]] at this ill-advised [[effort]] and its dismal failure. He called [[the apostles]] aside for [[conference]] and [[prayer]]. After this [[season]] of [[meditation]], [[feeling]] keenly the sting of their [[defeat]] and sensing the [[humiliation]] resting upon all of them, [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] sought, in a second attempt, to cast out the [[demon]], but only failure crowned his [[efforts]]. [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] frankly [[confessed]] [[defeat]] and requested the [[father]] to remain with them overnight or until [[Jesus]]' return, saying: " Perhaps this sort goes not out except by [[the Master]]'s [[personal]] command.

They were a dejected and chastened group. But James of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safed Safed] would not give up. Although they could give him no [[idea]] as to when [[Jesus]] might return, he [[decided]] to stay on until [[the Master]] came back.
