157:0.1 Before [[Jesus]] took [[the twelve]] for a short [[sojourn]] in the vicinity of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesarea Philippi Caesarea-Philippi], he arranged through the [[messengers]] of [[David Zebedee|David]] to go over to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] on Sunday, August 7, for the [[purpose]] of [[meeting]] his [[family]]. By prearrangement this visit was to occur at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee] boatshop. [[David Zebedee]] had arranged with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jude,_brother_of_Jesus Jude], [[Jesus]]' [[brother]], for the [[presence]] of the entire [[Nazareth]] [[family]]—[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] and all of [[Jesus]]' brothers and sisters—and Jesus went with [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] to keep this appointment. It was certainly the [[intention]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] and the [[children]] to keep this engagement, but it so happened that a [[group]] of the [[Pharisees]], knowing that [[Jesus]] was on the opposite side of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee lake] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_Tetrarch Philip]'s [[domains]], [[decided]] to call upon Mary to [[learn]] what they could of his whereabouts. The arrival of these [[Jerusalem]] emissaries greatly perturbed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary], and noting the [[tension]] and nervousness of the entire [[family]], they concluded that [[Jesus]] must have been [[expected]] to pay them a [[visit]]. Accordingly they installed themselves in Mary's [[home]] and, after summoning reinforcements, waited patiently for [[Jesus]]' arrival. And this, of course, effectively prevented any of the [[family]] from attempting to keep their appointment with [[Jesus]]. Several times during the day both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jude,_brother_of_Jesus Jude] and Ruth endeavored to elude the vigilance of the [[Pharisees]] in their [[efforts]] to send [[word]] to [[Jesus]], but it was of no avail.

157:0.2 Early in the afternoon [[David Zebedee|David]]'s [[messengers]] brought [[Jesus]] word that the [[Pharisees]] were encamped on the doorstep of his [[mother]]'s house, and therefore he made no attempt to [[visit]] his [[family]]. And so again, through no fault of either, [[Jesus]] and his [[earth]] [[family]] failed to make [[contact]].
