171:4.1 On Wednesday evening, March 29, [[Jesus]] and his followers encamped at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livias Livias] on their way to [[Jerusalem]], after having completed their [[tour]] of the [[cities]] of southern [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perea_(Holy_Land) Perea]. It was during this night at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livias Livias] that [[Simon Zelotes]] and [[Simon Peter]], having [[conspired]] to have delivered into their hands at this place more than one hundred [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword swords], [[received]] and [[distributed]] these arms to all who would [[accept]] them and wear them [[concealed]] beneath their cloaks. [[Simon Peter]] was still wearing his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword sword] on the night of [[the Master]]'s [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_183 betrayal in the garden].

171:4.2 Early on Thursday morning before the others were [[awake]], [[Jesus]] called [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and said: " [[Awaken]] your brethren! I have something to say to them. " [[Jesus]] knew about the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword swords] and which of his [[apostles]] had [[received]] and were wearing these weapons, but he never disclosed to them that he [[knew]] such [[things]]. When [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] had aroused his [[associates]], and they had assembled off by themselves, [[Jesus]] said: " My children, you have been with me a long while, and I have taught you much that is needful for this time, but I would now [[warn]] you not to put your [[trust]] in the [[uncertainties]] of the [[flesh]] nor in the frailties of man's [[defense]] against the [[trials]] and testing which lie ahead of us. I have called you apart here by yourselves that I may once more [[plainly]] tell you that we are going up to [[Jerusalem]], where you know the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] has already been [[condemned]] to [[death]]. Again am I telling you that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] will be delivered into the hands of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol chief priests] and the [[religious]] [[Leadership|rulers]]; that they will [[condemn]] him and then deliver him into the hands of the [[gentiles]]. And so will they [[mock]] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man], even [[spit]] upon him and [[Abuse|scourge]] him, and they will deliver him up to [[death]]. And when they [[kill]] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man], be not dismayed, for I [[declare]] that on the third day he shall rise. Take heed to yourselves and [[remember]] that I have fore[[warn]]ed you. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_18]

171:4.3 Again were [[the apostles]] [[amazed]], stunned; but they could not bring themselves to regard his [[words]] as [[literal]]; they could not [[comprehend]] that [[the Master]] meant just what he said. They were so blinded by their [[persistent]] [[belief]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism temporal kingdom] on [[earth]], with [[headquarters]] at [[Jerusalem]], that they simply could not—would not—[[permit]] themselves to [[accept]] [[Jesus]]' [[words]] as [[literal]]. They [[pondered]] all that day as to what [[the Master]] could mean by such [[strange]] pronouncements. But none of them [[dared]] to ask him a question concerning these [[statements]]. Not until after his [[death]] did these bewildered [[apostles]] [[wake]] up to the [[realization]] that [[the Master]] had [[spoken]] to them plainly and directly in [[anticipation]] of his [[crucifixion]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_18]

171:4.4 It was here at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livias Livias], just after breakfast, that certain [[friendly]] [[Pharisees]] came to [[Jesus]] and said: " Flee in haste from these parts, for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wikii/Herod_Antipas Herod], just as he sought [[John the Baptist|John]], now seeks to [[kill]] you.

171:4.5 And this was partly true. The [[resurrection]] of [[Lazarus]] [[frightened]] and alarmed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod], and knowing that the [[Sanhedrin]] had [[dared]] to [[condemn]] [[Jesus]], even in advance of a [[trial]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod] made up his [[mind]] either to [[kill]] [[Jesus]] or to drive him out of his [[domains]]. He really [[desired]] to do the latter since he so [[feared]] him that he [[hoped]] he would not be compelled to [[execute]] him.

171:4.6 When [[Jesus]] heard what the [[Pharisees]] had to say, he replied: " I well know about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod] and his [[fear]] of this [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]]. But, mistake not, he would much prefer that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] go up to [[Jerusalem]] to [[suffer]] and die at the hands of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol chief priests]; he is not [[anxious]], having stained his hands with the [[blood]] of [[John the Baptist|John]], to become [[responsible]] for the [[death]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man].

171:4.7 Then turning to his [[apostles]], [[Jesus]] said: " From olden times the [[prophets]] have perished in [[Jerusalem]], and it is only befitting that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] should go up to the [[city]] of [[the Father]]'s house to be offered up as the price of [[human]] [[bigotry]] and as the result of [[religious]] [[prejudice]] and [[spiritual]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindness blindness].

171:4.8 It was a [[confused]] and bewildered [[group]] of [[believers]] who this day followed [[Jesus]] into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho Jericho]. [[The apostles]] could [[discern]] only the certain note of final [[triumph]] in [[Jesus]]' [[declaration]]s regarding [[the kingdom]]; they just could not bring themselves to that place where they were willing to grasp the [[warnings]] of the impending setback. When [[Jesus]] spoke of " rising on the third day, "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_18] they seized upon this [[statement]] as signifying a sure [[triumph]] of [[the kingdom]] [[immediately]] following an unpleasant preliminary skirmish with the [[Jewish]] [[religious]] [[leaders]]. The " third day " was a common [[Jewish]] [[expression]] [[signifying]] " presently " or " soon thereafter. " When [[Jesus]] [[spoke]] of " rising, " they thought he referred to the " rising of [[the kingdom]]. "
