Changes

137:3.4 [[Jesus]] arrived in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] Monday night, but he did not go to his own [[home]], where lived James and his mother; he went directly to the home of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee]. All his [[friends]] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] saw a great and pleasant [[change]] in him. Once more he seemed to be comparatively cheerful and more like himself as he was during the earlier years at [[Nazareth]]. For years previous to his [[baptism]] and the [[Solitude|isolation]] periods just before and just after, he had grown increasingly serious and self-contained. Now he seemed quite like his old [[self]] to all of them. There was about him something of [[majestic]] import and exalted aspect, but he was once again lighthearted and [[joyful]].

137:3.5 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_%28mother_of_Jesus%29 Mary] was thrilled with [[expectation]]. She [[anticipated]] that the [[promise]] of [[Gabriel]] was nearing fulfillment. She expected all [[Palestine]] soon to be startled and stunned by the [[miraculous]] [[revelation]] of her son as the [[supernatural]] [[king]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews]. But to all of the many questions which his [[mother]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jude_the_Apostle Jude], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] asked, [[Jesus]] only smilingly replied: " It is better that I tarry here for a while; I must do the will of my Father who is in heaven.

137:3.6 On the next day, Tuesday, they all [[journeyed]] over to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cana Cana] for the [[wedding]] of Naomi, which was to take place on the following day. And in spite of [[Jesus]]' repeated warnings that they tell no man about him " until the Father's hour shall come, "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_2] they insisted on quietly spreading the news abroad that they had found the Deliverer.

They remembered what had been told them about the [[phenomena]] attendant upon his [[baptism]], and they believed that his [[future]] [[course]] on [[earth]] would be marked by increasing [[manifestations]] of [[supernatural]] wonders and [[miraculous]] demonstrations. Accordingly, the entire countryside was [[preparing]] to gather together at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cana Cana] for the [[wedding]] feast of Naomi and Johab the son of Nathan.

137:3.7 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_%28mother_of_Jesus%29 Mary] had not been so joyous in years. She [[journeyed]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cana Cana] in the [[spirit]] of the queen mother on the way to [[witness]] the [[coronation]] of her son. Not since he was thirteen years old had [[Jesus]]' [[family]] and [[friends]] seen him so carefree and [[happy]], so [[thoughtful]] and [[understanding]] of the [[wishes]] and [[desires]] of his associates, so [[touch]]ingly [[sympathetic]]. And so they all whispered among themselves, in small [[groups]], wondering what was going to happen. What would this strange [[person]] do next? How would he usher in the [[glory]] of the coming kingdom? And they were all thrilled with the [[thought]] that they were to be present to see the [[revelation]] of the might and [[power]] of Israel's [[God]].
