Holy Night!

I

accompanied by Andrew and Simon James

and John his first four disciples Jesus

traveled the roads of Galilee bringing a

new interpretation of God's kingdom to

all who would listen you have heard it

said an eye for an eye and a tooth for a

tooth but I say to you do not resist one

who is evil but if anyone strikes you on

the right cheek turn to him the other

also and if anyone would sue you and

take your coat let him have your cloak

as well and if anyone would force you to

go one mile go with him two mine you

have heard that it was said you shall

love your neighbor and hate your enemy

but I say to you love your enemies and

pray for those who persecute you so that

you may be sons of your father who is in

heaven in many places where he smoked

there were those who having listened

hungered to hear more

each day saw Jesus Fame grow greater

travellers carried reports of him

throughout the Land of Israel even to.

Herod's fortress castle of Makai hrus on

the desolate eastern shore of the Dead.

Sea where John the Baptist was held

prisoner

oh you again

come on the finest charcoal in all the

land of Moab

prepared with the greatest of care

heated on where she relies on me I don't

want any

well now look here if you ever should I

can get you to cut a joke hold on Eric

man didn't I tell you to bring the

castle charcoal in new sacks these are

the best we have the dust

it seems through any clause hold on you

sleeps through there's more charcoal on

the outside than only in eye lockers oh

how would you know all right bring it in

put it down there

be careful look out you clumsy ox stay

where you are you to turn sideways now

John Master John Master look here I have

my friends Master John Master John

cable Zilla good faithful friends

it will be easy easy

next week Google overpower the guards

and take the key the guards do not have

the key who does the chief jailer and we

are laying wait for him and have a

hundred men hidden outside the wall to

delay pursuit I forbid it

but your life is at stake perhaps Oh

master or during one execution or a

hundred means nothing to heaven I'm

still alive behold I've been given the

best cell permitted the luxuries of the

lamp the stool the table even a longer

chain than any other prisoner but more

than that he has me brought to his

chambers and he questions me at length

master don't trust him trust that pity

him you his prisoner I speak the truth

to him and it perplexes him I offered

him salvation for his soul that he draws

back he scoffs at the thought that I'd

been sent by the Lord and yet he will

neither free me no I had me put to death

is the woman her odious demands yes I

pity him Herod Antipas who rules his.

Tetrarch of a great land lives in a

frightful shadow world of doubt not

certainty perhaps if I can speak with

him enough I may be able to convince him

but master is he worth the risk

maybe the Lord's will that I am here it

may also be his will that we help you to

escape until I know that it is I will

stay but master there is one thing you

can do for me anything command us

I've heard rumors whispers the acts of

Jesus of Nazareth tell me all you know

of him no faster you sustained dog would

you take all night to do an hour's work

and as they were carrying the body to

the city gate of nain Jesus beheld the

mother a poor Widow weeping bitterly and

he said to her weep not

and then he touched the shroud and he

said young man I say to you arise and

the youth sat up and spoke that's how it

was told to me they say that he is a

great prophet even that the Messiah

himself may be walking among our people

have you talked with Lent we've seen

these things no master

only to those who have heard of them

from others the wonders were done in.

Galilee not here yes I must know beyond

doubt go to Galilee seek him out to.

Galilee and when you find him ask him

this are you evil is to come

or shall we look for another and then

let me know

let me know far to the north in the city

of Capernaum on the shore of Galilee.

Judas yes father-in-law

soon I'm weak so weak when I was a young

man even when I was not so young

I'd match my strength with any man in.

Galilee I know.

Elam is told me and when we pull in the

nets right I'll pull two men two strong

men yes father-in-law but now I have no

strength no strength at all you will

have some day soon when your illness is

cured cured I'll never be cured of

course you will ah what do I sniff a

supper sister breast of peacock or

tongues of nightingale a stew of last

night's haunch of mutton you worked late

today we fished at the far end of the

lake father father

is he asleep I think he's afraid to hear

how bad our luck was or how the large.

Seine was torn I thought that would make

you stop pretending wears the same torn

badly it wasn't hurt a bit our catch was

fairly good and you're not sleepy at all

are you I am old weak useless now father

just keep taking the medicine as the

physician ordered rest enough

you can't blame him he's been taking

that herb draught for over a year I I

talked to him about the rabbi today you

know the Nazarene Jesus you waste your

time would it hurt to try

they say he has cured scores of people

they say they say have you met any of

them one who the mother of Simon's wife

she was sick with the fever for days and

then he touched her just touched her and

she was well in no time at all

woman's gossip I wonder she told me so

herself didn't Simon and Andrew go away

with the man yes James and John - where

did they go

they'll be back soon perhaps tomorrow

how did you know what Simon's wife told

me promise me when they come back ask

them to bring their master here

no why not father if it is God's will

that I be like this no Nazarene can

change it I don't believe it such

what

a ver look strangers in on the Elam

fear of loud whooshing farmers from the

look on the map get you for the dust on

them I say they will mule hurt is from a

caravan well if we are herders we came

to the right place for donkey we know

you come back to the nest and say hey

Simon to them you're wrong twice I just

came to see how you're taking care of

the boat and my name isn't Simon it's

Peter Peter yes the master renamed him

Peter after petrol Rock because he's

strong dependable a regular foundation

of a man bad gouge in the boat here well

those rocks off generous

you truly believe in the Nazarene don't

you we wouldn't be following him unless

we didn't his tales of his ability to

cure all manner of illness there's truth

and there is that he can cure any man

any man who has faith Oh your father's

still sick take him to the master let

him hear Jesus speak and look into his

eyes he's still way too shaken with the

pulse and he never let us take him

unless you believe but you can convince

him you and your brother should be able

to how when we aren't convinced

ourselves I wish I could believe that

just as you do but I can't I know he's

learn it that he's cured some men but

there's nothing new in what he preaches

it's like any rabbi any snow no Elam no

oh yes it is I heard him myself in your

own courtyard when he said he hadn't

come to destroy the laws but to fulfill
