Chapter 343
The priests of Bethany conspired to spread rumors, but this despicable plan was not carried out, for soon sensational rumors spread among the people. This news made the rumor that the priests had prepared could not be spread again, otherwise it would arouse public indignation. For it is said that Jesus is the Savior of Elijah’s prophecy, the son of Aloha, the true Messiah.
At the beginning, some people talked about John like this, but John was dead and his hope was shattered. This kind of discussion ended. But the appearance of Jesus showed people new hope. Jesus healed people all the way, and preached the faith guided by Aloha. What is more surprising is that he has the power to bring the dead back to life. People think that this is a miracle that must be approved by God.
News spread quickly in the plains of Salem like wings, and the initial appearance of this statement was actually related to Mary, Bethany’s girl –
Jesus lived in the countryside of Bethany and had a growing influence, and he was often invited, even if no one knew that he was the legendary son of Aloha. But he is a “miracle doctor”, which is enough to make people. On the outskirts of Bethany lived a rich and powerful Lord. He heard about Jesus’ fame and invited him to his home. There will be a lot of distinguished guests coming. Please tell us at the banquet and bless them.
For a long time, Jesus did not discriminate against the poor villagers and the low status of the Samaritans. Some people have regarded Jesus as a guide for the poor and the common people, believing that he would not accept such an invitation. To their surprise or disappointment, however, Jesus accepted the invitation.
Some disciples asked, “Dear guide, how could you accept an invitation to such a banquet? Everyone thinks that your coming is to guide the suffering people to get rid of them. If you set the lecture hall at that kind of banquet, the poor people will think that you want to stay away from them. ”
Jesus shook his head and said, “if anyone says that, tell them that the faith that God guides belongs to all, regardless of wealth or wealth. Those who think that God belongs only to themselves are on the wrong path. ”
Jesus went to the banquet as promised. The banquet was set in a luxurious courtyard with a beautiful fountain beside it. The guests all sat around the fountain, and the table was filled with delicious food and wine. There were people who didn’t accept the invitation. They were standing in the corner of the courtyard, listening to Jesus. Jesus came barefoot, and washed his feet under the fountain and came to the table.
At this time, a Samaritan Girl came up with a beautiful pottery pot. It was Maria. The jar was filled with valuable perfume. She poured the perfume on Jesus’ hair with a pious look, leaned down and wiped the soles of Jesus’ feet with the rest of the ointment, and then quietly retired to the outside of the yard.
When she did these things, Jesus said nothing, neither humbled nor eluded, but looked at her tenderly. But the guests at the banquet were stunned. The Lord asked in surprise, “Jesus, you are the guide followed by countless believers. You are an honorable Salem. How can such a Samaritan Girl be so close to you in full view of the public? ”
But Jesus was very strange and asked, “if two people are in debt, one owes five gold coins and the other five hundred gold coins, and the creditor decides to cancel them all, who do you think should be more grateful?”
The host of the banquet replied, “of course, it’s the man who owes 500 gold coins.”
Jesus laughed. “If you think so, you should understand what I mean. For a man of wealth and power like you, the desire to extricate oneself from the suffering of the soul may not be so strong; but for her, the feeling may be different, and my preaching is no different.
You invited so many distinguished guests to hold a banquet for me, but you didn’t ask me to wash the dust on my feet, or even welcome me with sincere hugs. But she poured the precious perfume on my hair and wiped my feet. I can accept both your invitation and her blessing – that’s the real ceremony in a pure soul. ”
At this time, a guest suddenly lost his voice and exclaimed, “Messiah! That’s a blessing for the Messiah
This voice brought all the people back to their minds, and they all remembered the prophet Elijah’s prophecy: “the Messiah will come and lead all the people who sincerely believe in aroha to establish their homeland and kingdom; just as in those years, Moses led the Salem people back to their hometown to build a home flowing with milk and honey.”
“Messiah” means the Savior. It is said that people pour precious perfume on the Savior’s hair to show their respect for the glory of the gods. The Samaritan Girl expressed in her mind with such a ceremony that Jesus was the Messiah who came to the world and the Savior predicted by Elijah.
What does it mean for Jesus to accept such a ceremony in public? Jesus himself said nothing, but everyone had an answer.
……
Jesus never preached that he was the predicted Messiah and the son of Aloha in the legend of Salem, but people finally realized this. When they spontaneously blessed him with such rituals, he also accepted and did not deny it. The prophecy spread in Salem plain for nearly 100 years has a profound influence. When the priests of Bethany heard the news, they knew that spreading rumors to slander and slander Jesus would not do much.If people think that Jesus is the legendary son of Aloha, his detractors will be besieged and reviled. People have been waiting for this legendary king of Salem to come for nearly a hundred years. If you want to deal with Jesus, you can only get rid of him as you did with John at that time, and then you can completely solve the problem.
So the priests of Bethany also decided to send a message to the elders in the temple of Salem, reminding them to try to destroy Jesus as soon as possible.
Arathoth made a covenant with Moses that “no innocent man shall be killed. Do not deprive others of their lives for money or selfish desires. ” This is one of the ten commandments that Moses left to the Salem, but now these gods who enjoy the secular status in the name of Aloha are planning the murder of Aloha himself. All this is clearly understood by the secret guardians of Jesus, link and medanzo.
Coincidentally, another messenger was sent from the town where Jesus passed by. He was going to enter Salem through Bethany. What he wanted to report was what kind of threat Jesus had caused, reminding the elders that they should try to imprison or kill this man.
Link said to medanzo, “it’s just in time. We’ve got these two messengers together, and we’ll give Jesus the evidence they sent.”
Just as medanzo was about to answer, Amun’s voice was suddenly heard in the souls of the two angels: “let the messenger go to Salem. Even if they don’t, the elders in Salem are already planning the same thing. This is the test I have to face when I come to the world. You all know what the so-called “the examination of fate, the judgment of the end”? That’s how people become gods. But how does God become a man? That’s my proof. I have to face that fate, and it is the people who have given me that fate that they are really trying to face. ”
The two angels understood that Jesus had to face such a fate when he embarked on this road. As for what kind of proof their gods are going to accomplish, medanzo and link are not very clear, so they ask in their souls, “my God, what can we do for you?”
Amun’s voice said with a smile: “thank you for your protection, but there is no need to do more for me. If you like, you can prepare me some pancakes and salted fish as much as you can
……
Jesus knew what fate he was going to face. He was just waiting for the right time to meet it. The disciples didn’t know it. They were overjoyed that Jesus was the predicted Messiah. Among all kinds of legends, the earliest one who thinks of the future is full of joy.
Mary didn’t expect that her heartfelt blessing would have such a great chain effect. One day, she couldn’t help asking Jesus, “Dear guide, can you tell me? You are the Messiah! I believe it, and people think so, but I want to hear it from you. ”
Jesus looked at her and said, “do you really want to hear it from me? Please wait for me in your room tonight
……
A big man wants a girl to wait for him in his room in the middle of the night, which means that no one can think of it! But Maria did not dare to think like that. How could the legendary son of Aloha, the great Savior Messiah, have any unusual relationship with a girl like her?
But she couldn’t help thinking. She sat in her room at night, her heart pounding like a deer. She was eager for Jesus’ arrival, but she didn’t know what to do and what would happen after Jesus came? If Jesus really wanted to do something or ask for something, she would not have the slightest resistance. In her soul, everything was willing; but at the same time, she felt that it was not right, and she did not dare to touch him easily.
They had been together for so long, and the only physical contact that took place was that she had anointed the instep of his foot.
The time of the night seemed to pass very quickly and slowly. Maria, who was in a state of agitation, suddenly realized that she did not light the lamp, and quickly lit the oil lamp which had been prepared on the table. A pea sized flame lit up, and the dim light lit up the little room. Then Mary saw Jesus.
Jesus’ figure slowly appeared in front of Mary with the light, just like a shadow turned into a painting, and finally became a living person.
