SPIRITIST GOSPEL
Medium co-author: Fausto Machado
"Didn't the Christ tell you everything concerning these virtues of charity and love? Why do we set aside His divine taughts? Why do we shut our ear up to His divine words, the heart to His sweet maxims? I would want that we brought more interest, more belief in the evangelic readings; we leave unprotected this book, we in action an empty word, a closed letter; we leave this astonishing code inside forgetfulness: your evil ones provide from the voluntary helplessness that you do of this condensation of the Divine Laws. Read therefore these pages wholly flamed of the dedication of Jesus, and meditate on them!" (Saint Vincent De Paul, The Gospel According to Spiritism – GAS, XIII, 12).
"The word of Jesus was often allegoric and in parables; because He spoke according to the times and places. It is convenient now that the truth will be intelligible for the whole world. It is convenient to explain well and to develop these laws, considering that there are so few people who comprehend them, and yet lesser who practise them." (627 of The Spirits' Book – SB).
"The doctrine which Jesus taught is the purest expression of His Law, because He was animated by the Godly Spirit, and He is the purest Spirit who has appeared over ground." (Allan Kardec, 625 of SB).
"We recognize that the Spiritism results, at each step, from the same text of the Holy Scripture. The Spirits didn't come therefore to knock down the religion, as anyones intend; they come, on the contrary, to confirm and sanction religion by incontestable proofs. But, as the time is come of not to employ the figured language, they express themselves without allegory and they give to the things a clear and precise meaning which can't be subject to any false interpretation." (Saint Louis, 1011 of SB).
"My friends, the ones who has attended to my life and death are the divine interpreters of my Father's wishes." (Jesus Christ, IX spiritist essay of The Mediums' Book – MB).
"It would be illogical,
in effect
, to admit that a doctrine which wants to decrease the number of his associates log truer than that which wants to increase their ones." (
Erastus, disciple of Saint Paul, GAS, XXI, 10).

I – Introduction
1. In this work I explain the four Gospels under the Light of The Spirits' Book in its french original. I also analyze juridically, according to my qualification of Bachelor in Law at Brazil. Don't be afraid if you meet fragments of the brazilian law in this work. This book is directed by Jesus Christ (the Spirit of Truth). They make part of this society: the Spirit Luke evangelist (Roustaing), Paul apostle, Mary from Nazareth, Mary Magdalene, Allan Kardec, Francisco Cândido Xavier, Lívia (Angélica), Joanna de ngelis (Carol), Peter apostle, John evangelist and James his brother, Thomas, the Didymus (Renato Aragão), Lazarus, Bezerra de Menezes, Judas Iscariot (Andrew Louis, Jeanne D'Arc), for the time being. And I myself: Emmanuel. Our thought is spiritist, christian and fluidicist. The body of Jesus-God is made of the fifth essence of the matter, because He is pure Spirit (Holy Spirit).
II – The principle: the alpha
1 In the
principle
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the principle with God.
3 All things were made through him; and without him were not anything made that have been made.
4 In him there is life; and the life is the light of men.
5 And the light shined in the darkness; and the darkness defeated against the light. (John, I, 1-5).
27 and you also are witness, because
you have been with me since the principle
. (John, XV, 27).
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither
principle
of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God, abided a priest eternally. (Hebrews, VII, 3).
2. We are with Jesus since the beginning of the times, because, a rigorously, the time didn't have a beginning, and it won't have an end. "
It is thus that everything incases, everything inchains inside nature, from the primitive atom to the archangel, who himself began at the atom
;" (540 of SB). "This universal, or primitive, or elementary fluid, being the
agent
which the spirit employs, is the principle without which matter would be in a perpetual state of division and would never acquire the properties which gravity give to it." (27 of SB). Everything has principle in the rougher matter that is imponderable (it has no weight), which is in constant fission. According to the law this matter will acquire weight with the presence of the electron (universal, electric, magnetic or nervous fluid). The union of the
agent
(universal fluid – electric current,
electron
); which is "a matter more perfect, more subtle, and which we can regard as independent." (27, II, of SB), which doesn't divide constantly;
to the proper and gross matter
(the atomic nucleon), creates the atom. "Because the nothingness doesn't exist." (958 of SB). The whole Universe is full of a matter in constant fission: the perispirit of God. The nucleon of the atom is the proper matter and his flowing electrons constitute the universal fluid. According to the principle of incertitude of Werner Heisenberg it is impossible specifying the exact place and the exact instant of a particle in the same time. This means the electrons are in constant movement, so they have life and they act like electromagnetic wave. These particles flow as waves, just as the sound cross through the air. Besides, according to the Quantic Chemistry, agreed the quantic magnetic number, the electron always fills an orbital (like Earth which has an orbit surrounding the Sun). This orbital uses to have the three-dimensional shape of a signal of infinite (∞). Agreed the quantic number spin, the limit of electrons in an orbital is two, and they must have opposed spins, in consequence of the principle of exclusion of Pauli. So, each electron has a positive and a negative pole, just as Earth has a belt of radiation of Van Hallen; this is proved using a magnetic needle pointing to the magnetic poles of Earth. This magnetism makes the electrons of same spin keep away and makes electrons of opposed spins been attracted to each other, because the electrons also have a belt of radiation like Earth. Besides, the sun also spins and influences magnetically the Earth, provoking alterations in the magnetic axle of Earth, which is proved by the seasons, attempting to the changes of the timetable of aurora and night-fall. The orbit of Earth is circular. Just the same the nucleon of the atom also spins. This may be proved by the cyclones which in the Northern Hemisphere spins always in the same turning and in the Southern Hemisphere spins in the opposed turning. The same happens to the water, which flows to the drain in both hemispheres. So, in each hemisphere the nucleons of the atoms always spin in the same turning. A hemisphere is made of matter, and the other is made of anti-matter, because the nucleons of the atoms (the proper matter) spin in opposed turnings in the opposed hemispheres. "The electrons and photons which constitute your physical body integrate, equally, our perispirits, in other characteristics of frequencies. It is necessary, in view of this, paying attention to the wonder of your potential divinity." (Spirit of Alexander in the work of André Luiz, psychographer: Francisco Cândido Xavier, Os Missionários da Luz, FEB, page. 98).
III – The eternity and the end: the omega
16 And behold, one came to him and said, Master, what good thing will I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And He said to him, Why did you ask me concerning which is good? One there is who is good: but if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments. (Matthew, XIX, 16-17).
15 that whosoever believes in him may have eternal life.
16 Because God so loves the world that he gave his
anointed (Christ, Messiah)
Son, which whosoever believes on him, would not perish, but have eternal life. (John, III, 15-16).
36 He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that doesn't obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (John, III, 36).
14 but whosoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. (John, IV, 14).
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes him that sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
25 Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear will live.
26 Because as the Father has life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself. (John, V, 24-26).
40 Because this is the will of my Father, that every one that sees the Son, and believes on him, will have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (John, VI, 40).
47 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that believes in me has eternal life.
54 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
63 It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.
68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom will we go? You have the words of eternal life. (John, VI, 47, 54, 63 e 68).
28 I give to them eternal life; and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 Those, who my Father has given them to me, are greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. (John, X, 28-29).
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he dies, yet he will live;
26 and whosoever lives and believes on me will never die. Do you believe this?
27 She said to him: Yes, Lord: I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, which had to come into the world. (John, XI, 25-27).
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become sons of God, do those who believe on his name: (John, I, 12).
49 Because I haven't spoke from myself; but the Father that sent me, he has prescribed what I have to say, and announce.
50 And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, just as the Father has said to me, so I speak. (John, XII, 49-50).
6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by me.
15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments. (John, XIV, 6 e 15).
3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the unique true God, and him whom you did send: Jesus Christ. (John, XVII, 3).
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into
the kingdom of the Son of his love
;
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:
15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation
;
16 because in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and to him;
17 and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the assembly. He is the principle, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 Because it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him dwells all the fullness; (Colossians, I, 13-19).
3. "You can say that we are without beginning, if you understand, for there that God being eternal, He has the duty to create without liberating." (78 of SB). We didn't have a beginning in time and God creates us constantly, like chicken raises yours chicks. Everything has principle in matter. "In nature nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed." (Antoine Laurent Lavoisier). "There is formation; but, no creation, because from the nothing the spirit can take nothing." (Allan Kardec, 129 of MB). The matter has always existed. God doesn't make the matter appear from the nothing. "Nothing is the nothingness and the nothingness doesn't exist." (23, II, of SB). "When we say that soul is immaterial, it must be understood in a relative sense, not in absolute sense,
the absolute immateriality would be nothing
. The soul or the spirit is something. When we qualify it of immaterial, we want to explain that his essence is so superior that has no analogy to what we call proper matter, so he is immaterial for us. (The Spirits' Book, 23 and 82)." (Allan Kardec, 50 of MB). The nothingness has never existed. "No, nothing is not vacuum; this which is vacuum for you is occupied by a matter which escapes to your senses and to your instruments." (36 of SB). "God doesn't entrust himself to a direct action on matter;" (536, II, of SB). "It is the life of the Spirit which is eternal; this of the body is transitory and ephemeral. When the body dies, the soul re-enters in the eternal life." (153 of SB). We are eternal as God. We didn't have a start in times and we will not have an end in times. "All the men are brothers in God, because they are animated by the spirit, and they tend to the same end (goal)." (54 of SB). "The peoples are excusable of not to believe in the word of that who was animated of
Spirit of God
" (671 of SB). We have principle in proper matter (mineral kingdom) and we will reach our end which is to be God (Pure Spirit or Holy Spirit), so we will participate of the Kingdom of God, the fifth Kingdom, after the mineral one, the vegetable one, the animal one and the human one. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the principle and the end, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who will be, the Almighty." (Revelation, I, 8). "If we observe the sequence of beings, we encounter that they form chain without solution of continuity from the brute matter to the more intelligent man. But in the middle between man and God, who is the alpha and omega of all things, which immense blank!" (Allan Kardec, XVII of Introduction of SB).
IV – The marvelous announcement of Elijah's reincarnation
1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 as they delivered them to us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,
3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
4 that you can know the certainty concerning the things wherein you were instructed.
5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
8 Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
9 according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of altar of incense.
12 And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
13 But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zacharias: because your supplication is heard, and your wife Elisabeth will give birth to you a son, and you will call his name John.
14 And you will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 Because he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
16 And many of the sons of Israel will be turn to the Lord their God.
17 And he will go before his face
in the spirit and power of Elijah
, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.
18 And Zacharias said to the angel: How will I know this? Because I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
19 And the angel answering said to him: I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you these good news (Gospel, GodSpell).
20 And behold, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will come to pass, because you did believe not my words, which will be fulfilled in due time.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marvelled while he tarried in the temple.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he continued making signs to them, and remained dumb.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
24 And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,
25 Thus has the Lord done to me in the days wherein he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men. (Luke, I, 1-25).
4. The apparition of the angel was the first mediunic phenomenon of the New Testament. The second one was the blockade of the speech of Zacharias, alike to what has happened to Paul, the apostle, who got blind just after seeing the apparition of Jesus at the way to Damascus. Gabriel was the angel that had appeared to the prophet Daniel who used to prophesy by dreams:
16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said: Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell upon my face: but he said to me: Understand, son of man; for the vision belongs to the time of the end. (Daniel, VIII, 16-17).
5. It happened mediunic phenomena of physical effects inside Elisabeth. “God does not exercise a direct action upon matter; He has His devoted agents at every step of the ladder of worlds."” (536, b, of SB). "All spirits are able to produce physical phenomena; but spirits of elevated degree usually leave them to those of a lower order, more apt for action upon matter than for the things of intelligence, and, when they judge it to be useful to produce physical manifestations, employ spirits of subaltern degree as their auxiliaries." (106 of SB). “That is according as their post is more or less material or intelligent; some command, others execute; those who execute material facts are always of an inferior order, at the home of the spirits as the home of men." (538, a, of SB). Good physician spirits, using mediunic fluids and fluids of materialized imperfect spirits, put an embryo inside Elisabeth. For these reasons Jesus didn't write the Gospel. He left this material job to his disciples. Jesus also has never worked at Joseph's carpentry. Does someone know about any furniture or sculpture made by Jesus? The more purified the spirit, the less material work he does exercise.
V – Gabriel announces the marvelous Mary's pregnancy
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And he came in to her, and said: Hail, you full of grace, the Lord is with you.
You are blessed among women
.
29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary: because you got grace in face of God.
31 And behold, you conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will his name JESUS.
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David:
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.
34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you: wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten will be called the Son of God.
36 And behold, Elisabeth your relative, she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren.
37 Because no word from God will be void of power.
38 And Mary said: Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her. (Luke, I, 26-38).
6. The pure Spirits "They are sometimes spoken of as angels, archangels, or seraphim." (113 of SB). "They are the messengers and ministers of God, the executors of His orders in the maintenance of universal harmony." (113 of SB). "To assist men in their distresses, to excite them to the love of good or to the expiation of the faults which keep them back on the road to the supreme felicity, are for them sweet." (113 of SB). "God is, in the immensity, the infinite. Spirit such pure, so subtle that very few spirits can see Him, such extensive that irradiates everywhere don't dividing Himself, keeping this way His own individuality." (Jean-Baptiste Roustaing.
The Four Gospels
. Tome I, 4¬ edition, Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian Spiritist Federation, 1954, translation of Guillon Ribeiro, N. 38, page. 216). "This name belongs to
Jesus from Nazareth
. We have no doubt that He can become manifest; but, if the spirits really High does it only in exceptional circumstances, the reason inhibits we to believe that the
Spirit pure by excellence
answers the calling of the first one that appears." (Allan Kardec, IX spiritist essay of MB).
7. Jesus is
Holy
Spirit (from the hebraic:
pure
). “Being no longer subject to reincarnation inside perishable bodies, they enter on the life of eternity into inside God's bosom.” (113 of SB). For being pure Spirit Jesus reborned, but He didn't reincarnate inside a perishable body. "Are there worlds in which the spirit, ceasing to inhabit a material body, has no longer any other involucre than the perispirit? Yes, and
this involucre itself becomes so etherealized that, for you, it is as though it did not exist. This is the state of the fully purified spirits
." (186 of SB). “For the superiority of His moral essence and of His fluidic qualities, those abilities reached in Him rates much higher than the ordinaries. Placing behind His carnal soma,
He has made patent the state of the fully purified spirits."
(Allan Kardec, The Genese, XV, 44). Jesus received a perispirit made of the fifth essence of the matter: “'Immaterial' is not the right word; 'incorporeal' would be nearer the truth, for you must understand that a spirit, being a creation, must be something real. Spirit is the fifth essence of the matter, but matter existing in a state which has no analogue within the circle of your comprehension, and so ethereal that it could not be perceived by your senses."(82 of SB). This half-material psychosoma of Jesus “can assume any form that the spirit may choose to give to it. It is thus that a spirit is able sometimes to make himself visible to you, whether in dreams or in your waking state,
and can take a form that may be visible, and even palpable, for your senses.” (95 of SB). For Jesus and Gabriel appearing in dreams or when you are waked is easy. “What does the spirit become after its last incarnation?
"Anointed (Christ, Messiah) Spirit; he is pure Spirit.” (170 of SB). "Do spirits who are already purified ever come inside worlds of lower degree? They come into inside them very frequently in order to help them to progress. Unless they did so, those worlds would be left to themselves, without
guides
to direct them." (233 of SB). "What is the most perfect type that God has offered to man as his
guide
and model? Jesus." (625 of SB). “March! March! You have
guides
; follow them. Your goal cannot fail you, for that goal is God.” (495 of SB). Jesus isn't a wandering spirit. The souls "have bodies, because it is necessary for the spirit to be clothed with matter in order to act upon matter; but this psychosoma is more or less material according to the degree of purity at which each spirit has arrived, and it is these gradations of purity that decide the different worlds through which we have to pass; for in our Father's house are many mansions, and therefore many degrees among those mansions. There are some who know this, and possess the consciousness of this fact, while upon the earth; and there are others who have no such intuition." (181 of SB). "In proportion as a spirit becomes purified, the body with which he clothes himself also approaches more nearly to the spirit-nature. The matter of which his body is composed is less dense, he no longer crawls heavily on the surface of the ground; his bodily needs are less gross and the various living beings in those higher worlds are no longer obliged to destroy one another in order to feed themselves. The spirit has more freedom, and possesses, in regard to objects at a distance, orders of perception of a nature unknown to us; he sees with his eyes what we see only in thought." (Allan Kardec, 182 of SB).
VI – Joseph wants to leave her behind, but he dreams with the angel
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
20 But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will bring forth a son; and you will call his name JESUS; because he will save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, the virgin will be with child, and will bring forth a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.
24 And Joseph waked up from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took to him his wife;
25 and he did not have sexual relation with her till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS. (Matthew, I, 18-25).
8. Joseph had not taken Mary's virginity. She became pregnant without sex.
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and will call his name Emmanuel.á (Isaiah, VII, 14).
VII – Elisabeth is Gabriel's medium
39 And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth.
41 when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth, psychophonic medium, let the Holy Spirit speak;
42 and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said:
You are praised among women
, and praised is the fruit of your womb!
43 Why would the mother of my Lord come to me?
44 For behold, when the voice of your salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 And praised is she that believed; because will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
46 And Mary said: My soul does magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God, my Saviour.
48 Because he has looked upon the meekness of his handmaid: since now all generations will call me blessed.
49 The Almighty has done to me great things; and Holy is his name.
50 And his mercy goes from generations to generations over the ones who fear him.
51 He has showed strength with his arm; He has dispersed the proud of the thoughts of their heart.
52 He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the humbleness ones.
53 The hungry he has filled with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.
54 He has given help to Israel his servant who will remember his mercy
55á (As he spoke to our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed forever.
56 And Mary was lodged by her about three months, then Mary returned to her house. (Luke, I, 39-56).
9. Jesus is Holy (pure) and the Lord. Jesus means in hebraic: “Just God saves”. The Spirits' Book says about the pure Spirit Gabriel (113): “The men can enter into communication with them; but very presumptuous will be the one who had intended to have them at his orders.”.
VIII – Elijah's reincarnation
57 Elisabeth's time was fulfilled that she would be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58 And her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her.
59 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, the name of the father.
60 And his mother answered and said: Not way; but he will be called John.
61 And they said to her, There is none of your relatives that are called by this name.
62 And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying: His name is John. And they marveled all.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 And fear came on all that neighbors: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
66 And all that heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What then will this child be? Because the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; because he visited and redeemed his people,
69 And raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
70 (As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old),
71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he spoke to Abraham our father,
74 To grant to us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, we would worship him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76 You, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High. Because you will go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways;
77 To give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins,
78 Because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dayspring from on high will visit us,
79 To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel. (Luke, I, 57-80).
10. The main mediunic phenomenon was the break of the dumbness of Zacharias. The other happened though the psychophonic mediumistic quality of Zacharias who talked by himself and also for the Holy Spirit.
IX – The birth of Jesus and His childhood
1 In those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the Roman Empire would be included in a census.
2 This was the first census made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 And all went to be part of the census, every one to his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;
5 to be part of the census himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being pregnant.
6 while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she would be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in diaper, and laid him in a trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were shepherds in the same country living in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were so afraid.
10 And the angel said to them: Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news (Gospel) of great joy, which will be to all the people:
11 for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the
Lord
.
12 And this is the sign to you: You will find a babe wrapped in diaper, and lying in a trough.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth among willingly men.
15 And the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the
Lord
has made to know to us.
16 And they came quickly, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the trough.
17 And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying, which was spoken to them about this child.
18 And all those who heard it wondered at the things, which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken to them.
21 And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, as he was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. (Luke, II, 1-21).
4 But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,
5 not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the palingenesis (rebirth) and the reincarnation of the Holy Spirit,
6 which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour; (Titus, III, 4-6).
16 w
ho has been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life
. (Hebrews, VII, 16).
20 Because our city is in heaven; whence also we wait for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 who will turn the body of our humiliation to be equal to the body of his glory, according to the effective might he is able even to subject all things to himself. (Philippians, III, 20-21)
44 it is seeded human body; it is raised a
spiritual body
. If there is a human body, there is also a
spiritual body
. (I Corinthians, XV, 44).
11. Jesus was the firstborn of Mary. The text is clear: Christ is the Lord; and the multitude of angels is also the Lord. This phenomenon é equal to the Ascension Day.
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wizards from the east came to Jerusalem,
2 saying: Where is he that is born King of the Jews? Because we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ would be born.
5 And they said to him, in Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written through the prophet,
6 And you Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah: because from you will come a
guide
, who will be shepherd of my people Israel.
7 Then Herod privately called the wizards, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said: Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when you have found him, bring me word, that I also may come and worship him.
9 and they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. (Matthew, II, 1-11).
2 But you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which are little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of you will one come to me that is to be king in Israel; whose principles are from of old, for eternity. (Micah, V, 2).
12. The star was a spiritist phenomenon visible by the wizards; perhaps it was the vision of the materialization of the angels who were praising on the heaven.
22 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord
23á (as it is written in the law of the Lord: every male that opens the womb will be called holy to the Lord),
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord,
a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons
.
25 There was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 And he was entered into the temple by the Spirit: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law,
28 then he received him in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 Now you will let this servant depart, Lord, according to your word, in peace;
30 Because my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 Which you had prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 A light for revelation to the foreigners, and the glory of the people of Israel.
33 And his father and his mother were marveling at the things, which were spoken concerning him;
34 and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;
35 and a sword will pierce through his own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
37 and she had been a widow of eighty-four years old), who departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day.
38 And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. (Luke, II, 22-38).
12 And being warned by God in a dream that they would not return to Herod, they get back to their country by another way.
13 Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying: Arise and take the young child and his mother, and escape to Egypt, and be you there until I tell you: because Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt;
15 and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
Out of Egypt did I call my son
.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was bluffed by the wizards, he got very angry, and ordered to kill all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the wizards.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
18 A voice was heard in Ramah,
crying and great mourning
, Rachel crying for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying:
20 Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel: because they are dead the ones who were plotting the death of the child.
21 And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came to the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there; and being warned of God in a dream, he left to the parts of Galilee,
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he would be called a
Nazarene
. (Matthew, II, 12-23).
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When either man or woman will make a special vow, the vow of a
Nazirite
, to separate himself to the Lord,
5 All the days of his vow of separation there will no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in which he separated himself to the Lord, he will be holy;
he will let the locks of the hair of his head grow long
.
8 All the days of his separation
he will be holy to the Lord
.
10 And on the eighth day
he will bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest,
to the door of the tent of assembly:
á(Numbers, VI, 2, 5, 8, 10).
1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him,
and called my son out of Egypt
. (Hosea, XI, 1).
15 Thus says the Lord: A voice is heard in Ramah,
crying, and great lamentation
, Rachel crying for her children; she refused to be comforted for her children, because they are not. (Jeremiah, XXXI, 15).
39 And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast;
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it;
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintance:
45 and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.
46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the masters, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
47 and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him: Son, why have you thus dealt with us? Your father and I were anguished looking for you.
49 And he said to them: How were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my
Father
's house?
50 And they understood not the saying, which he spoke to them.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. (Luke, II, 39-52).
13. Jesus teenager didn't call God of the Lord, but Father.
X – Elijah preaches and baptizes, but Jesus doesn't baptize with water
7
Because many deceivers are gone into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist
. (II John, 7)
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for witness, that he would be witness of the light, in order to all believe through him.
8 He was not the light, but he came to witness of the light.
9 The true light which lights every man, coming into the world.
10 The Word was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came to his ones, and they that were his ones received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become
sons of God
, the ones that believe on his name:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And
the Word became flesh, and lived among us
(and we saw his glory, glory as the
anointed (Christ, Messiah)
from the Father), full of grace and truth.
15 John witnesses of him, and cries, saying: This is he of whom I said, he that comes after me is become before me: because he was before me.
16 Because we all received of his fullness and grace for grace.
17 Because the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No man has seen God at any time; the
God anointed (Christ, Messiah)
, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
19
And this is the witness of John, when the jews sent to him from Jerusalem priests and levites to ask him: Who are you?
20 And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed: I am not the Christ.
21 And
they asked him: Who are you then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No.
22 They said therefore to him: Who are you? That we may give an answer to them that sent us. What do you say about yourself?
23 He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 And they had been sent from the pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and said to him: Why do you baptize then, if you are not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?
26 John answered them, saying: I baptize in water; but in the middle of you stands one whom you know not,
27 he will come after me, whose sandals I am not honorable to untie.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 On the day after he saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold, the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world!
30 This is he of whom I said: after me comes a man who is become before me: because he was before me.
31 And I knew him not; but that he would be made manifest to Israel, for this cause I came baptizing in water.
32 And John witnessed, saying: I saw the Spirit descending as a pigeon out of heaven; and he placed upon him.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said to me: Upon whom you will see the Spirit descending, and placing upon him, the same is he that baptizes in the Holy Spirit.
34 And I have seen, and have witnessed that this is the Son of God. (John, I, 6-34).
14. John the Baptist did not know he was the reincarnation of Elijah, neither that he was prophet. "Why does the incarnated spirit lose the remembrance of his past? Man cannot, and may not, know everything; God, in His wisdom, has so ordained. Without the veil, which hides certain things from his view, man would be dazzled, like one who passes suddenly from darkness to light. Through the forgetfulness of his past a man is more fully
himself." (392 of SB). John apostle believed that Jesus had a body of flesh.
1 Now there was a man of the pharisees, named Nicodemus, a leader of the jews;
2 the same came to him by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that you are a Master come from God; because no one can do these signs that you does, if God is not with him.
3 Jesus answered and said to him: Truly, truly, I say to you, if one does not be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus says to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered: Truly, truly, I say to you: Who does not be born from the water and from the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God!
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again.
8 The wind blows where it wants, and you hear its voice, but you don't know from where it comes, neither for where it goes; like this is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said to him: You are master of Israel, and don't understand these things?
11 Truly, truly, I say to you: We speak that which we know, and be witness of that which we have seen; and you receive not our witness.
12 If I told you earthly things and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13
And none has ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven
:
the Son of man
, who is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, the Son of Man must be lifted up;
15 that whosoever believes in him have eternal life.
16 Because God so loved the world, which he gave his
anointed (Christ, Messiah)
Son, that whosoever believes on him would not perish, but have eternal life.
17 Because God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world would be saved through him.
18 He that believes on him is not judged: he that doesn't believe has already been judged, because he has not believed on the name of the
anointed (Christ, Messiah)
Son of God.
19 The judgment is this: The light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the light; because their works were bad.
20 Because every one that does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, for that his works would be reproved.
21 But he that does the truth comes to the light, that his works are made manifest, that they have been made in God. (John, III, 1-21).
17
For this the Father loves me, because I give my life, that I can take it again
.
18
No one takes it away from me, but I give it by myself. I have power to give my life, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I received from my Father
.
19 There was a division again among the jews because of these words.
20 And many of them said: He has a demon, and is mad; why do you hear him?
21 Others said: These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? (John, X, 17-21).
15. Nicodemus came to ask Jesus if John the Baptist would have been Elijah and Jesus explained him without that he had asked any question. Jesus talks about the water because our body is water made in majority, besides, we were born immersed in amniotic liquid in the mother's womb. The spirits speak to us, but we can't see them. We don't know from where their words come. They are like wind that we don't know from where it comes. The spirits influences our thoughts and acts; “it is very often they who direct you.” (459 of SB). “When a thought is suggested, it is like a voice speaking to you. Generally your own thoughts come first. In point of fact, this distinction is not of much practical importance for you, and it is often better for you not to be able to make it.” (461 of SB). Like wind, we don't know to where the spirits go. “As spirits transport themselves from point to point with the speed of thought,” (247 of SB). Jesus and we are son of the man. Jesus came from heaven. “Do spirits who are already purified ever come inside worlds of lower degree? They come into inside them very frequently in order to help them to progress. Unless they did so, those worlds would be left to themselves, without
guides
to direct them." (233 of SB). Jesus says that reincarnation is commandment of the law of God. Behold if it is commandment, none can avoid to it. One day we will be purified as Jesus and we will resurrect as He did, in a world where we will be Christs, without physical body. We resurrect in Spirit until there. Behold the law of God forbids killing. Because it is impossible destroying the spirit.
1 And in those days John the Baptist comes preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, saying:
2 Regret you; because the kingdom of heaven is nearby.
3 Because this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying:
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make you ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight
.
4 Now John himself was dressing
clothes of camel's hair, and a leather belt about his loins
; and his food was grasshoppers and wild honey.
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and the entire region round about the Jordan;
6 and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 When he saw many of the pharisees and sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: Race of vipers, who warned you to escape from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of sorrow:
9 and do not to say among you: We have Abraham to our father. Because I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
10 The ax has already been placed at the root of the trees: each tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut off, and thrown into the fire.
11 I baptize you in water to regret: but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to transport: he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
12 whose blade is in his hand, and he will clean thoroughly his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the granary, but the straw he will burn up with eternal fire.
13 Then Jesus comes from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John would discourage him, saying: I need to be baptized of you, and you come to me?
15 But Jesus answering said to him: Let it be now, because thus it is convenient to fulfil all justice. Then he let it be.
16 And Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a pigeon, and coming upon him;
17 and lo, a voice of the heavens, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Matthew, III, 1-17).
3
The voice of one that cries in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord; make level in the desert a highway for our God
.
(Isaiah, XL, 3)
.
7 And he said to them: What were the clothes of man who came up to meet you, and told you these words?
8 And they answered him:
He was dressed with hairy clothes and a leather belt about his loins. And he said: It is Elijah the Tishbite
.
(II Kings, I, 7-8)
.
16. John doesn't remember he is Elijah, but he dressed the same as Elijah. The pure spirit took the form of a pigeon. The perispirit "can assume any form that the spirit may choose to give to it." (95 of SB). The voice of the angel is a phenomenon called by Edgard Armond as 'direct voice'.
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 And he came to all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of sorrow to remission of sins;
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:
The voice of one crying in the wilderness: make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight
.
5 Every
valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low; and the crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth
;
6 And
all flesh will see the salvation of God
.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that went to be baptized of him: Race of vipers, who warned you to escape from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of sorrow, and do not begin to say among you: We have Abraham to our father: because I say to you, that God is able to raise up children to Abraham of these stones.
9 And the ax is already placed at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying: What must we do then?
11 And he answered to them: Who has two coats, divide them with who has none; and he that has food, do the same.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said to him: Master, what must we do?
13 And he said to them: Don't charge more than the stipulated.
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying: And we, what must we do? And he said to them: Don't mistreat any, neither accuse any one wrongfully; and be content with your wages.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, if he would be the Christ;
16 John said to them all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there comes he that is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to untie: he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
17 whose blade is in his hand, to clean his threshing-floor thoroughly, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but he will burn the straw up with eternal fire.
18 With many other exhortations therefore preached he good news (Gospel) to the people;
19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 added this also to them all: he arrested John in prison.
21 When all the people were baptized, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a pigeon, upon him, and a voice came of heaven: You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased. (Luke, III, 1-22).
3
The voice of one that cries in the wilderness: Prepare you the way of the Lord; make right in the desert a highway for our God
.
4
Every valley will be exalted, and every mountain and hill will be made low; and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough places a plain
:
5
and the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all flesh will see altogether that the mouth of the Lord spoke it
. (Isaiah, XL, 3-5).
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight
;
4 John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of sorrow to remission of sins.
5 And there went out to him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leather belt about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey.
7 And he preached, saying: There comes after me he that is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.
8 I have baptized you in water; but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
9 In those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.
10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens break open, and the Spirit as a pigeon descending upon him.
11 And a voice came of the heavens: You are my beloved Son, in you I am well pleased. (Mark, I, 1-11).
1
Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple
; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes, says Lord of hosts. (Malachi, III, 1).
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came to the land of Judea; and there he remained with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Enon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 Because John was not yet thrown into prison.
25 There was a questioning on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purifying.
26 And they came to John, and said to him: Master, he that was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have made witness, the same baptizes, and all men come to him.
27 John answered: A man can receive nothing, except it has been given him from heaven.
28 You yourselves are witness that I said: I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this joy therefore is made full.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaks:
he that comes from heaven is above all
.
32 What he has seen and heard, of that he is witness; and no man receives his witness.
33 He that has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
34 Because he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: because he gives not the spirit by measure.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things to his hand.
36 He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that doesn't obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
1 When therefore the Lord knew that the pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (
although Jesus himself did not baptize
, but his disciples), (John, III, 22 to John, IV, 2).
XI – Jesus and the samaritan
3 he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 And he needed to pass through Samaria.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
6 and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired of his journey, sat by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Then a woman of Samaria came to draw water: Jesus said to her: Give me to drink.
8 Because his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him: How is it that you, being a jew, ask drink to me, who I am a Samaritan woman? (Because jews have no dealings with samaritans.)
10 Jesus answered her: If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you: Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
11 The woman said to him: Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: How come have you that living water?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered to her: Every one that drinks of this water will be thirst again:
14 but whosoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.
15 The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I don't be thirst again, neither come all the way here to draw.
16 Jesus said to her: Go, call your husband, and come here.
17 The woman answered to him: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: You said well, I have no husband;
18 because you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: this you have said truly.
19 The woman said to him: Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men must worship.
21 Jesus said to her: Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will worship the Father.
22 You worship that which you do not know: we worship that we know; because salvation is from the jews.
23 But the hour comes, and now is, when
the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; because these are whom Father looks for being his worshippers
.
24
God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth
.
25 The woman said to him: I know that Messiah comes (he is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare to us all things.
26 Jesus said to her: I am him that speaks to you.
27 And upon this his disciples came; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; but none of them said: What do you seek? Or, Why do you speak to her?
28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,
29 Come, see a man, who told me all things that I ever did: can this be the Christ?! (John, IV, 3-29).
17. Jesus offers to the samaritan the universal fluid to drink. “In proportion as a spirit becomes purified, the body with which he clothes himself also approaches more nearly to the spirit-nature. The matter of which his body is composed is less dense he no longer crawls heavily on the surface of the ground; his bodily needs are less gross and the various living beings in those higher worlds are no longer obliged to destroy one another in order to feed themselves.” (Allan Kardec, 182 of SB). There have been people in Earth that declares they can live neither feeding, nor drinking water, living only of the light of the auroras. Jesus asserts that God is Spirit. God is the Spirit that reached the supreme degree of intelligence, of perfection. “The first order or highest category covers the pure Spirits, who has reached the
supreme degree
of perfection.” (100 of SB). “God is the
supreme intelligence
, first cause of all things.” (1 of SB). “
Intelligence
is a faculty that is proper to each being, and constitutes its moral individuality.” (72, a, of SB). The angels, archangels and seraphim are “the pure spirits who have reached the highest degree of the scale, and hold
all the perfections
.” (128 of SB). “God must hold these perfections in the
supreme degree
; because, if one of them were less, or were not possessed by Him in an infinite degree, He would not be superior to all, and consequently would not be God. In order to be above all things, God must have no instabilities, He must have none of the imperfections of which the imagination can conceive.” (13 of SB). “If you take away even one of God's attributes, we would no longer have God. So likewise, if you take away even one of Christ's virtues, you would no longer have Christ.” (Erastus, GAS, XXI, 9). "VI. – The end of the soul, in his evolution, is reaching and consummating in him and turning around of him, crossing the times and the ascending stations of the Universe, by blossoming mights he has in germ, this eternal notion of the Beauty and Good, which means the idea of God, the proper idea of perfection." (
Léon Denis
,
O Problema do Ser, do Destino e da Dor
, fifth edition, Brazilian Spiritist Federation, Rio de Janeiro, page. 453 – the last one). “God is infinite inside his perfections,” (Allan Kardec, 3 of SB). “All men are brothers in God, because they are
animated
by the spirit and they incline to the same end.” (54 of SB). “Not to believe the word of Him who was
animated
by Spirit of God is excusable on the part of peoples” (671 of SB). Allan Kardec says about Jesus: “The doctrine he teached is the purest expression of the law of God, because he is
animated
by the Spirit of God, and he is the purest appeared over Earth.” (625 of SB). “For the superiority of His moral essence and of His fluidic qualities, those abilities reached in Him rates much higher than the ordinaries. Placing behind His carnal soma, He has made patent the state of the fully purified spirits." (Allan Kardec, The Genese, XV, 44). "The science still do not know enough, but it will get there, if it wants to walk with Spiritism. The perispirit can modify and change infinitely." (Lamennais, item 51 of chapter IV, of the first part of MB). Worshiping God is loving the Christ above all. “God prefers those who worship Him from the heart, with sincerity, and by doing what is good and avoiding what is evil,” (...) “He who professes to worship Christ, and who is proud, envious, and jealous, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this sphere, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart.” (654 of SB). “Gravitate to the unity of God is the goal of humanity. To reach this aim three things are necessary: justice, love and science; three things are contrary and opposed: ignorance, hate, and injustice.” (...) “Believe me, brothers in God and in Jesus Christ,” (...) “the true aim of his creation consists in the harmonious worship of the Beauty, the Good, idealized by the human standard, by the
Man-God
, by Jesus-Christ.” (Paul, apostle, 1009 of SB). Lo, it is not necessary going to the temple to worship the Christ. Jesus is Spirit that broadcasts all over the Universe.
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
31 Meanwhile the disciples prayed him, saying: Master, eat!
32 But he said to them: I have meat to eat that you do not know.
33 The disciples therefore said one to another: Does any man have brought him something to eat?
34 Jesus says to them:
My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work
.
35 Don't you say: Are there still four months to the harvest? I say to you: Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already to harvest.
36 The harvester receives since now his reward, and treasures his fruit to eternal life; so the sower and the harvester are happy.
37 Because it is true the saying: One sows, and another harvests.
38 I sent you to pick what you haven't seeded: others have worked, and you are entered into their work.
39 Many samaritans from that city believed on him because of the witness of the woman, who testified: He told me all things that ever I did.
40 So when the samaritans came to him, they asked him to remain with them: and he remained there two days.
41 And many others believed in him because of his word;
42 and they said to the woman: Now we believe, not because of you speaking: because we have heard by ourselves, and know that this is actually the Saviour of the world. (John, IV, 30-42).
18. Jesus never exercises his free will. He always makes his Father's will: the will of the other pure Spirits. In Samaria Jesus didn't come to seed, but to pick and there were many believers. Unlikely of what happened in the land where He was born. There were many unbelievers there: a lot to seed.
XII – Jesus talks to the obsessing spirit who tempts Him
1 Then Jesus was taken by Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he got hunger.
3 And the tempter came and said to him: If you are
Son of God
, order these stones to become bread.
4 But he answered: It is written: Man will not live only of bread, but of each word that comes from the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil takes him into the holy city; and he set him on the top of the temple,
6 and said to him, If you are the Son of God throw yourself down: because it is written: He will order his angels to guard you; and, they will support you on their hands, for you don't stumble against a stone.
7 Jesus said to him: Again it is written: You will not attempt the Lord your God.
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;
9 and he said to him: All these things I will give you, if you fall down and worship me.
10 Then said Jesus to him: Get out, Satan: for it is written: You will worship the Lord your God, and you will make cult only of him.
11 Then the devil left him; and behold, angels came and served him. (Matthew, IV, 1-11).
3 And he humiliated you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you did not know, neither your fathers knew; in order to make you understand that man will not live only of bread, but of everything that comes out of the mouth of the Lord the man will live. (Deuteronomy, VIII, 3).
11 Because he will give his angels order about you, to guard you in all your ways. (Psalms 91, 11).
16 You will not attempt the Lord your God, as you have tempted him in Massah. (Deuteronomy, VI, 16)
13 You will fear the Lord your God; and you will serve him, and you will swear by his name. (Deuteronomy, VI, 13).
4 Hear, Israel: the Lord your God is the unique Lord.
5 and you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. (Deuteronomy, VI, 4-5).
6 The
sons of God
came to present themselves before the Lord one day,
Satan also came among them
. (Job, I, 6).
19. Jesus doesn't need the matter. "Null influence of matter; absolute intellectual and moral superiority in relation to the spirits of all the other orders." (112 of SB). "They have passed through every degree of the scale of progress, and have despoiled themselves from all the impurities of matter." (113 of SB). So Jesus doesn't eat material food. For Him eating is a material act. And He is dematerialized. About worship: "“God prefers those who worship Him from the heart, with sincerity, and by doing what is good and avoiding what is evil,” (...) “He who professes to worship Christ, and who is proud, envious, and jealous, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this sphere, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart.” (654 of SB). "God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth." (John, IV, 24). Jesus talked to the obsessing spirit at the desert, so it is not bad talking to the spirits, although bad or ignorant. "Truly, truly, I say to you, he that believes on me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do;" (John, XIV, 12). We can do everything that Jesus does. The devils are: "the imperfect spirits, who seek to take possession of him and to dominate him, and who are happy to see him succumb. It is what we want do describe with the figure of Satan." (122, a, of SB). "The aim of trial is not to enlighten God about man's merit, because God knows perfectly his worth, but to leave to man the entire responsibility of his conduct, since he is free to do or not to do. Man having free choice between good and evil, trial serves to bring him under the action of temptation, and thus to give him the merit of resistance, for God, though knowing beforehand whether he will triumph or succumb, cannot, being just, either reward or punish him other wise than according to the deeds he has done." (871 of SB). "Without free will man wouldn't be guilt in doing wrong, nor would have merit in doing right." (872 of SB). "There isn't irresistible attraction: the man can always close his ear against the occult voice who calls him to the evil inside him," (872 of SB). We must always remember that Satan is a son of God.
1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was guided by the Holy Spirit in the wilderness
2 during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered.
3 And the devil said to him: If you are the Son of God, order this stone to become bread.
4 And Jesus answered to him: It is written: Man will not live of bread alone.
5 And he guided him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant.
6 And the devil said to him: I will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: because it was given to me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If you worship me down on your knees, all will be yours.
8 And Jesus answered to him: It is written: You will worship the Lord your God, and you will make cult only him.
9 And he guided him to Jerusalem, and set him on the top of the temple, and said to him: If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here:
10 because it is written: He will order his angels about you, to guard you;
11 and, they will support you on their hands, for you don't stumble against a stone.
12 And Jesus answered to him: It is said: You will not attempt the Lord your God.
13 Finished the temptations; the devil went way until new trial. (Luke, IV, 1-13).
12 And straightway the Spirit drove him into the wilderness.
13 And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild animals; but the angels served him. (Mark, I, 12-13).
XIII – Jesus is condemned to death
14 And Jesus returned to Galilee
in the might of the Spirit
: and his fame ran the entire region round.
15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
16 And he came to
Nazareth
, where he had been created (raised): and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the saturday, and stood up to read.
17 And it was delivered to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
18
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he
anointed
(christened, the Messiah) me to preach good news (Gospel) to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim liberation to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are oppressed,
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord
.
20 And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
21 And he began to say to them: Today this scripture was fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all of him were witness, and they wondered at the words of grace which were from his lips: and they said: Is not this Joseph's son?
23 And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this proverb: Physician, heal yourself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your own country.
24 And he said: Truly I say to you: No prophet is welcome in his own country.
25 Truly I say to you: There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when reigned much hunger over all the land;
26 and to none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow.
27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleaned, but only Naaman the Syrian.
28 And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things;
29 and they stood up, and expelled him of the city, and took him to the top of the mount where their city was built, for throwing him down headlong.
30 But he passing through the middle of them went way. (Luke, IV, 14-30).
1
The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the quietly; he has sent me to renew the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to the arrested
;
2 to proclaim the year of Lord's favor, and the day of revenge of our God; to console all the ones which are sorrowful; (Isaiah, LXI, 1-2).
20. Jesus returned to Galilee 'in the might of the Spirit': the pure Spirits "inhabit certain spheres, but they are not confined to them as men are confined on the ground; they can be everywhere better any others." (188 of SB). "As Spirit transport himself with the speed of thought, we may say he goes everywhere each time. His thought may radiate and be brought at the same moment on many different points; but this faculty depends on his purity. The more impure the spirit, the more restrict is his sight. Only the high Spirits can embrace the whole." (247 of SB). "Spirits pass through everything." (91 of SB). Jesus declared he was the Anointed (Messiah in hebraic and Christ in greek) who would preach the good news (Gospel in hebraic), then he was condemned to death. He said that only one widow was saved. They wanted salvation for all. They took him to the top of the abyss to kill him, but it was not his time, he became intangible and went away. Those who wanted to kill him must have been very impressed. Jesus, physician, healed himself from arrest and death. "In work: 'A Luz do Espiritismo', of Vianna de Carvalho, psychographer: Divaldo Pereira Franco, is separated. Look: 'In Nazareth, in front of the furious doggery, Jesus utilized the faculty of dematerialization.' (page. 87)" (information from Roustaing museum on the site: http://www.casarecupbenbm.org.br). “You are always wanting miracles; but God sows miracles by handfuls under your feet, and yet you still have men who deny their existence. Did Christ Himself convince His contemporaries by the prodigies He accomplished? Do you not see men, at this day, denying the most evident of facts, though occurring under their very eyes? Have you not among you some who say that they would not believe, even though they saw? No; it is not by prodigies that God wills to bring men back to the truth; He wants, in His goodness, to leave to them the merit of convincing themselves through the exercise of their reason.” (802 of SB).
XIV – Jesus and the marvelous fishing of fishes and men
1 While the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;
2 and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat.
4 And when he had stopped speaking, he said to Simon: Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for fishing.
5 And Simon answered and said: Master, we worked all night, and took nothing: but at your word I will let down the nets.
6 And when they had done this, they got a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking;
7 and they called to their partners in the other boat, that they come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying: Lord! Be far from me because I am a sinful man.
9 Because he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken;
10 and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: Do not fear; from now on you will be fisherman of men.
11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him. (Luke, V, 1-11).
35 In the next day John was standing, and two of his disciples;
36 and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and said: Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 And Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them: What do you look for? And they said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where do you live?
39 He said to them: Come, and you will see. They came therefore and saw where he lived; and they remained with him that day: it was about the tenth hour.
40 One of the two that heard John speaks, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 He found first his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ, the Anointed).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said: You are Simon the son of John: you will be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter) (Peter means stone).
43 In the day after he was going to Galilee, and he found Philip: and Jesus said to him: Follow me.
44 Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him: We have found him, of whom Moses and the prophets wrote in the law, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 And Nathanael said to him: Can any good thing come from Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him: Behold, a true israelite, in whom is no guile!
48 Nathanael said to him: Where do you know me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.
49 Nathanael answered him: Master, you are the Son of God; you are King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered to him: Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, did you believe? You will see greater things than these.
51 And he said to him: Truly, truly, I say to you: You will see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. (John, I, 35-51).
12 When he heard that John was arrested, he went to Galilee;
13 and leaving Nazareth, he came to live in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:
14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying:
15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the foreigners,
16 the people that were in darkness saw a great light, and to them that lived in the region and shadow of death, to them did light spring up.
17 From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say: Regret you; because the kingdom of heaven is nearby.
18 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; because they were fishers.
19 And he said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they left the nets immediately, and followed him.
21 And going on he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, repairing their nets; and he called them.
22 And they left immediately the boat and their father, and followed him. (Matthew, IV, 12-22).
14 Now after John's arrest, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
15 and saying: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is nearby: regret, and believe in the gospel.
16 And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; because they were fishers.
17 And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 And they immediately left the nets, and followed him.
19 And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat repairing the nets.
20 And he called them soon: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the diarists, and went after him. (Mark, I, 14-20).
21. Through a good fishing Jesus got fished his prime disciples who was all fishermen.
XV – Cana's wedding anniversary
1 Three days after there was a wedding anniversary (jubilee of the first coitus, copulation) in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 and Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the wedding anniversary.
3 And when the wine finished, the mother of Jesus said to him: They have no wine.
4 And Jesus said to her: Woman, what have I to do with you? My hour is not yet come.
5 His mother said to the servants:
Do everything he says you to
.
6 There were six waterpots of stone set there after the jews' manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins each.
7 Jesus said to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he said to them: Draw out now, and took to the emcee of the feast. And they did it.
9 And when the emcee of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not from where it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the emcee of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 and said to him: Every man set on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: you have kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; and there they did not remain many days. (John, II, 1-12).
24 and man will leave his father and his mother, and he will link to his wife: and they will be one flesh. (Genesis, II, 24).
4 And he answered: Do you not have read that the Creator, from the beginning, made them man and woman,
5 and said: For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will link to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?
6 So that they are no more two, but one
flesh
. Therefore God has joined together, man will not separate. (Matthew, XIX, 4-6)
22. Jesus didn't practice material acts. He didn't eat or drink. He didn't become the water in wine. He energized the water and attributed to it perfume and taste of wine. It was a fluidic wine. In this wine only the water was material. There was no alcohol in this wine. Mary said to do his will. Do we ever do the will of Jesus? Don't we abuse when we drink? The marriage begins with the first copulation, or coitus or sexual relation. None is forced to marry, it means, to have sexual relation with another. "1 – no marriage can be legally contracted without full and free acquiescence of the parts both, this approval must be expressed by these persons personally, after the due publicity, before the competent authority to celebrate the marriage and witnesses, according to the law." (International Convention for Acquiescence to Marriage, Minimum Age for Marriage and Registry of Marriage adopted by General Assembly of United Nations).
XVI – Jesus removes obsessing Spirits
23 And Jesus covered all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all diseases and all sickness among the people.
24 And the report of him went to all Syria: and they brought to him all that were sick, with many diseases and torments, possessed with imperfect spirits (demons), and epileptic, and paralytic; and he healed them. (Matthew, IV, 23-24).
21 And they go into Capernaum; and just on the saturday he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 And they were astonished at his teaching: Because he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an imperfect spirit; and he cried out:
24 What have we to do with you, Jesus the Nazarene? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy (pure in hebraic) One of God!
25 And Jesus reprehended him: Shut up and get out of him.
26 And the imperfect spirit, shaking him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, and they questioned among themselves, saying: What is this? A new doctrine! With authority he commanded even the imperfect spirits, and they obey him.
28 And the report of him went out everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.
29 And when they went out of the synagogue, and came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. (Mark, I, 21-29).
33 And in the synagogue there was a man, that had a spirit of an imperfect demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 Ah! What do we have to do with you: Jesus the Nazarene? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy (pure) One of God.
35 And Jesus reprehended him: Shut up and get out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the middle, he came out of him, having done him no hurt.
36 And amazement came upon all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying: What is this word? Because with authority and power he commanded the imperfect spirits, and they got out.
37 And there was a rumor concerning him into every place of the region round about. (Luke, IV, 33-37).
23. Jesus talked to the imperfect spirits (obsessing spirits) and he cured the mediums perturbed by them. "If demons existed, they would be the work of God; but would it he just on the part of God to have created beings condemned eternally to evil and to unhappiness? If demons exist, it is in your low world, and in other worlds of similar degree, where they live. They are the human hypocrites who represent a just God as being cruel and revengeful, and who imagine that they make themselves agreeable to Him by the abominations they commit in His name." (131 of SB). "Why do imperfect spirits stimulate us to evil? To make you suffer as they do themselves." (465 of SB). "Evil spirits always come to aid you in doing the evil you desire to do; they can only help you to do wrong when you give way
to evil desires." (466 of SB). Every evil we do attracts demons who will obsess us. "Can we free ourselves from the influence of the spirits who incite us to evil? Yes; because they only attach themselves to those who attract them by the evil nature of their thoughts and desires." (467 of SB). The possession "is never done without the participation of this who suffers it
, through his weakness
or his desire." (474 of SB). "You can always shake off a yoke if you want willingly." (475 of SB). "The good man is able to drive imperfect spirits away, and over good ones to draw them nearer. But, even the best men would be powerless if the subjugated person doesn't make himself efforts to become better, because there are persons who take delight in a state of dependence which exalts their depraved tastes and desires." (476 of SB). "You have things enough to think about that concern you much more nearly, beginning with yourselves. Study your own imperfections, that you may get rid of them;" (14 of SB). "Prayer is a mighty succor in everything; but you must believe well that it is not enough to mutter any words to obtain what you desire. God helps those who proceed, but not those who limit their action to asking for help. It is therefore necessary for the person obsessed to do his maximum to cure himself of the defects which attract evil spirits to him." (479 of SB). "What is to be thought of the casting out of devils, spoken of in the Gospels? That depends on the meaning you attach to the word devil. If you mean by that term a bad spirit who subjugates a human being, it is evident that, when his influence is destroyed, he will really be driven away. If you attribute a malady to the devil, you may say, when you have cured the malady, that you have driven the devil away." (480 of SB). Many times the obsession, which is a spiritual disease, may extend until causes a physic or somatic disease: “We have often encountered cases of possession, epilepsy or madness, demanding rather medicine than exorcism.” (474 do LE). The longer the obsession, the bigger the probability of becoming the spiritual disease in somatic disease, the more maleficent effects will happen in the organism of the obsessed. The obsession is a psychic illness which can turn a psychosomatic sickness and, after exorcism, only somatic. “It is what Jesus taught us in the sublime prayer: dominical Oration, when He makes us say: 'Don't allow us to succumb to the temptation, but liberate us of the evil.Æ. This theory about the exciting cause of our acts proves the evident competence of all the teaching of the Spirits; it is not just of sublime morality, but we add that he raises the man to his own eyes; this theory shows
that he is free to shake off the yoke of an obsessing spirit, just as he is free to close his house to the annoying people
. (872 of SB). “The house is inviolable asylum of the individual, none can penetrate in there without the consent of the resident,” (article 5, XI, of the brazilian Constitution).
9 When you are come into the land which the Lord your God gave to you, you will not learn to do the abominations of those nations.
10 There will not be found with you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that uses soothsaying, one that practises augury, or an enchanter, or a witch doctor,
11 or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 Because whosoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord your God does drive them out from before you.
13 You will be perfect like the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy, XVIII, 9-13).
5 And
that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams will be dead
, because he has spoken rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of servitude, to put you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in. So you will
put away the evil from the middle of you
. (Deuteronomy, XIII, 5).
24. The prophet Daniel, Joseph and Mary consulted dreams; so what? Magician like Mister M, David Blane e David Coperfield doesn't harm anyone. Do not to talk to the obsessing spirit may obstruct that he is removed of the obsessed medium. The punishment for the one who talked to spirits of the dead men was the death.
37 And his fame was running into every place of the region round about.
38 And he left the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon's mother-in-law was sick with a great fever; and they asked him for her.
39 And he stood over her, and
reprehended the fever
; and it left her: and immediately she rose up and served them.
40 And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them to him; and he
laid his hands on every one
of them, and healed them.
41 And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying: You are the Son of God! And reprehending them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and asked him to stay.
43 But he said to them: I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: because I was sent for that.
44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. (Luke, IV, 37-44).
29 And when they were gone to the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Simon's mother-in-law was sick of a fever; and they told him of her:
31 and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she served them.
32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought to him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons.
33 And all the city was rejoined altogether at the door.
34 And he healed many that were sick with different diseases, and cast out many demons; and he prohibited the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and went to a desert place, and there prayed.
36 And Simon and they that were with him looked for him;
37 and they met him, and say to him: All are seeking you.
38 And he said to them: Let us go elsewhere to the next towns, which I may preach there also; because I came to this end.
39 And he went to their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons. (Mark, I, 29-39).
14 And when Jesus entered into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick of a fever.
15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and served him.
16 And when it was evening, they brought to him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with the word, and healed all that were sick:
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: He took over him our illness, and carried our sickness. (Matthew, VIII, 14-17).
4 Surely he has taken over him our pains, and carried our sorrows; though we thought he was troubled, wounded of God, and oppressed. (Isaiah, LIII, 4).
25. Jesus reprehended the fever, because it was an obsession. Peter's mother-in-law had an obsessing spirit who for his imperfections felt diseases of the time when he was incarnated and he was transmitting this sensations to the obsessed. "If you attribute a malady to the devil, you may say, when you have cured the malady, that you have driven the devil away." (480 of SB). The obsession is a malady very common, because ever we do the evil, or we think harm, or we wish the bad to someone, we are opening our doors to the admission of the demons.
XVII – The teaching at the mountain – The Beatitudes
24 And his fame ran into all Syria: and they brought to him all that were sick, with different diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and paralytics; and he healed them.
25 And great multitudes followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from beyond the Jordan.
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up to the mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him:
2 and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
3 Well-beatified are the meek spirit: because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Well-beatified are weepers: because they will be consoled.
5 Well-beatified are the peaceful spirits: because they will inherit the ground.
6 Well-beatified are the hungry and thirst of justice: because they will be satisfied.
7 Well-beatified are the clement ones: because they will be forgiven.
8 Well-beatified are the pure of heart: because they will see God.
9 Well-beatified are the peacemakers: because they will be called sons of God.
10 Well-beatified are the persecuted for justice: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Well-beatified you are when, because of me, you will be injured and pursued, and, lying, someone denounce you.
12 Rejoice, and be very happy: because great is your reward in heaven, just like you the prophets were pursued by your ancestor. (Matthew, IV, 24 a V, 12).
17 and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon,
18 who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed.
19 And the entire multitude sought to touch him; because power emanated from him, and healed them all.
20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: Well-beatified are the pauper: because yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Well-beatified are the ones who are hungry now: because you will be glutton. Well-beatified are you that weep now: because you will laugh.
22 Well-beatified are you when men will hate you, and when they will expel you from their partnership, and injure you, and cast out your name as unworthy, because of the Son of Man.
23 Rejoice in that day, and be very happy; because your reward is great in heaven; because your fathers did the same to the prophets.
24 But ouch! of you that are rich! Because you got your consolation.
25 Ouch! of you that are glutton! Because you will be hungry. Ouch! of you that laugh now! Because you will weep and sorrow.
26 Ouch! of you, when all men will speak well of you! Because your fathers did the same to the false prophets. (Luke, VI, 17-26).
26. Jesus wants that we are modest, moderate. He wants that we are peaceful to conquer ground. "When his mind will no longer be obscured by matter, and when, by his perfection, he will be approached to God, be will see and comprehend Him." (11 of SB); "Everything is openly especially so to the perfect ones. They may withdraw from one another, but they are always visible to each other. This, however, is not an absolute rule, for the higher spirits are perfectly able to turn themselves invisible to the lower ones, when they consider it to he useful to do so." (283 of SB). The more pure the spirit, better his abilities to see the others. The kingdom of heaven is for all, because the spirit is eternal. Disembodied, even the very bad go to the doorpost (Hades or the flames of the spiritists) which is placed on the skies. "God imposes the incarnation to the goal (end) of making you get the perfection. For some of them it is an expiation; for others, a mission. In order to attain perfection,
they must suffer all the vicissitudes of corporeal existence
." (132 of SB). "Why has God given richness and power to some, and poverty to others? In order to try them in different ways. Moreover, as you know, the spirits themselves who have selected those trials, under which they often succumb." (814 of SB). "You, yourself, have chosen your trial; the rougher it is, and the better you support it, the higher you do raise yourself. Those who pass their lives in the enjoyment of plenty and human pleasure are cowardly spirits who remain stationary. Thus the number of those who are unfortunate is much greater, in your world, than of those who are fortunate, because spirits generally make choice of the trial that will be most useful to them. They see too clearly the futility of your grandeurs and your delights. Besides, the most fortunate life is always agitated, always troubled, it wouldn't be like that by the absence of pain." (866 of SB). "You must remember that what appears to you to be a harm is not always such; often from the harm will emerge a good greater than the seeming evil." (532 of SB). "What appears to be harmful to you, from your narrow point of view, and in relation to your temporary life on the earth, is often a great good in relation to the general order of the universe." (663 of SB). "The excess of evil is required to show you the necessity of good and of reformations." (784 of SB). "Can spirits make us obtain for us the gifts of fortune, if we ask them to do so? Yes, like test, as a trial for you. But they often refuse such demands, as you refuse the imprudent demands of a child." (533 of SB). "Often the spirits that want to lead you to the evil who help you in becoming rich. These are easy means of doing this through the material pleasures procured by wealth." (533, a, of SB). "He who calls spirits to his aid, in order to obtain from them the gifts of fortune or any other favor, rebels against Providence." (...) "Through his love in material pleasures, he brings himself under the power of impure spirits." (550 of SB). "He who wins as a man loses as a spirit." (865 of SB). Besides, Jesus also talks to us about the law of action and reaction: "they will be reborn into an existence in which they will support all that they have made the others support." (807 of SB). “The bad rich man will become a beggar, and will be a prey to all the privations of poverty; the proud will undergo humiliations of every kind; he who has misused his authority, and treated his subordinates with disdain and hardness, will be forced to obey a master still harder than himself.” (983 of SB). "But you must remember that fortune is often a more dangerous trial than poverty." (925 of SB). "If they use their wealth only for themselves, they are selfish, and, in that case, a terrible reverse waits for them. Complain of them quickly. God sometimes permits the bad to prosper, but his prosperity is, not to be desired, because he will pay for it with bitter weeping and gnashing of teeth. If a righteous man undergoes unhappy, it is a trial which will be counted if he supports it bravely. Remember the words of Jesus: 'Well-beatified are sufferers: because they will be consoled." (926 of SB).
22 The lamp of the body is the eyes: if your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.
23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. Therefore the light that is in your are darkness, how great is the darkness! (Matthew, VI, 22-23).
13 You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost its taste, with what will we salt? It is good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.
14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a mount cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the fuel, but on the candelabrum; and it shines to all that are in the house.
16 Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew, V, 13-16).
34 Salt is surely good; but if even the salt have lost its taste, how its flavor can be reestablished?
35 It is fit neither for the land nor for the garbage: men cast it out. The one who has ears to hear, let him hear. (Luke, XIV, 34-35).
26 Do not fear them: because there is nothing hidden, that will not be discovered; and occult, that will not be known.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak you in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim upon the roof. (Matthew, X, 26-27).
16 None when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a vase, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a candelabrum, so they that enter in see the light.
17 Nothing is occult, that will not be shown; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
18 Pay attention in the way you listen to, because who has, to him it will be given; and who doesn't have, from him it will be taken away even that which he thought he had. (Luke, VIII, 16-18).
21 He said to them: Is the lamp brought to be put under the fuel, or under the bed, and not to be put on the candelabrum?
22 There is nothing hidden save to be manifested; neither was anything made secret, but that it will come to light. (Mark, IV, 21-22).
12 Again Jesus spoke to them: I am the light of the world: he that follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life. (John, VIII, 12).
27. Jesus doesn't want that we are indifferent to life. He wants that our life is tasty. "The welfare is a natural desire. God only prohibits abuse, because abuse is contrary to conservation; he has not made it a crime to seek after welfare, if that welfare is not acquired at another's expense, and if it doesn't weaken either your moral or your physical power." (719 of SB). We must to pass through all the good trials to learn. We must have love to the life well lived. "The Spirit is a flame, a brightness or a pure spark." (88 of SB). "For you the color of the flame varies from darkness to the brilliance of the ruby, if he is less or more pure." (88, a, of SB). Our perispirits (or psychosomas) are made of electrons (fluid or electric, magnetic or nervous current that goes through our neurones) and light photons. We are beings of light. "The spirit is reflected in the body; and although the body is only matter, it is modeled on the capacities of the spirit, which impresses upon it a certain character that is more particularly visible in the appearance, and it is truly that we designate that the eyes are the mirror of the soul; that is to say, that the appearance properly reflects the soul." (217 of SB). If we are good we will never have diseases, but if we accumulate hates, revenges, bruises, resentments, self-love (egoism), greediness, avarice, covetousness, jealousy, vices and defects in our hearts we will be printing maladies in our body. "The good are often timid. When these will want to take upon on themselves, they will." (932 of SB). He doesn't want us to be timid. He wants that we show our worth, our authority. We need to teach everything we have to teach. "The sight of the Spirits penetrates what yours cannot penetrate: nothing obscures it." (248 of SB). "Neither acts nor thoughts can be hidden from them." (457 of SB). "Do not think to hide anything from the guardian angels, for they have the eye of God." (495 of SB). We don't have private life. Spirits can observe everything we do and even think. Jesus doesn't want anything to be done furtively. Everything is public of the knowledge of everyone.
17 Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I did not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 Truly I say to you: Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will never pass away from the law, till all things be fulfilled.
19 Who will break one of these least commandments, and will teach men so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but who will do and teach them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Because I say to you: if your justice will not exceed a lot the justice of the scribes and pharisees, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew, V, 17-20).
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall. (Luke, XVI, 17).
28. Jesus came to fulfil the divine or natural law. "The law of nature is the law of God. It is the only true rule that ensures the happiness of man, for it shows him what he must or must not do, and he is unhappy because he disobeys it." (614 of SB). "All the laws of nature are divine laws, since God is the author of all things. The scientist studies the laws of matter; the good man (good spirit) studies the laws of the soul, and practises them." (617 of SB). Jesus didn't come to modify the prophets. He doesn't aspire to change the texts of the Bible, although there are bad examples. He wants that everything that was prophesied fulfils. But, the one who violates the commandments of the Old Testament will be considered the least, the meekest in the kingdom of heaven. So Jesus came to bring us commandments much better than those obsolete ones. He doesn't want that we are great, proud, superb and pedant. He wants that we are meek, the least, the minimum.
13 You will not kill. (Exodus, XX, 13).
17 You will not kill. (Deuteronomy, V, 17).
21 You heard that it was said to the elders: You will not kill; and who kill will be in danger of the judgment:
22 but I say to you: Everyone, without cause, who is angry with his brother will be in danger of the judgment; and who insult his brother will be in danger of the court; and who say: You are fool, will be in danger of the flames. (Matthew, V, 21-22).
4 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said: These are your gods, oh! Israel, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
5 And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said: Tomorrow will be a feast to the Lord.
6 And they rose up early on the morning, and offered burnt offerings, and brought
peace
offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. (Exodus, XXXII, 4-6).
25 And when Moses saw that
the people were nude
, because Aaron had let them
nude to shame them
among their enemies,
26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said: Who is on Lord's side, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
27 And he said to them: Thus said the Lord, the God of Israel:
Put your sword upon the side of each man
, and go to and from gate to gate throughout the camp, and
each man kills his brother
, and each man his friend, and
each man his neighbor
.
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and about three thousand men of the people fell down that day. (Exodus, XXXII, 25-28).
2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 You will have no other gods before me.
4 You will not make to you a sculpture, nor any likeness of anything that is above on the skies, neither down over ground, or that is in the water underground:
5 you will not kneel before them, nor serve them; because I, the Lord, your God am a zealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, until the third and the fourth generation of them that hate me, (Exodus, XX, 2-5).
29. Moses ordered to kill because he was executing the law of destruction: "Will the necessity of destruction always exist for the men over ground? The need of destruction diminishes in man in proportion as his spirit obtains ascendancy over matter. Consequently, you see that intellectual and moral development is always accompanied by a horror of destruction." (733 of SB). Jesus doesn't want that we kill like Moses did to punish those who made sculptures. He doesn't want that we have anger neither hate in our heart. We must not to be angry neither insult our neighbor.
15 If your brother
sin
against you, go and argue his fault between you and him alone. If he hear you, you gained your brother.
16 But if he doesn't hear you, take with you one or two more, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the assembly; and if he also refuses to hear the assembly, consider him as a foreigner and a publican. (Matthew, XVIII, 15-17).
26 Therefore do not fear them: for there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed; and hid, that will not be known.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak you in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim upon the roofs. (Matthew, X, 26-27).
2 But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed; and hid, that will not be known.
3 Everything you say in the darkness will be heard in the light; and what you have spoken in the ear in the cabinet will be proclaimed upon the roofs. (Luke, XII, 2-3).
23 If you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
24 leave there your gift before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25
Make an agreement with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; for the adversary doesn't deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you are arrested in prison
.
26 Truly I say to you: You will get out, till you have paid the last cent. (Matthew, V, 23-26).
54 And he also said to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising in the west, so you say: There comes rain; and so it happens.
55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say: There will be a heat; and it happens.
56 Hypocrites, you know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that you do not know how to interpret this time?
57
And why don't you judge yourselves what is right?
58
When you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, give diligence to be quit of him on the way; for he doesn't drive you to the judge, and the judge will deliver you to the officer, and the officer will throw you into prison
.
59 I say to you, you will not go out from there, till you have paid the very last cent. (Luke, XII, 54-59).
1 God assists in the assembly of God; He judges among the gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the unfaithful ones?
3 Judge the weak ones and orphans: Do justice to the afflicted and abandoned ones.
4 Save the weak and needy one: Deliver them out of the hand of the unfaithful ones.
5 They know nothing, neither they understand; they walk in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 I said:
You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
7 But you will die like men, and you will succumb like any of the princes.
8 Arise, oh! God,
judge
the earth; because you will inherit all the nations. (Psalm LXXXII).
1 In that occasion some people told him about the galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had blended with their sacrifices.
2 And he answered to them: Do you think these galilaeans were sinners above all the galilaeans, because they have suffered these things?
3 I tell you no: But, if you do not regret, you will all perish in the same way.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think you that they were guiltier above all the men that lived in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, no: But, except you sorrow, you will all perish in the same way. (Luke, XIII, 1-5).
30. "In your sphere, where so many do not to practise the law of justice, each one uses retaliation, and this causes trouble and confusion in human society. Social life gives rights and imposes reciprocal duties." (877 of SB). Jesus does not want us to make justice with our own hands. We must not to use personal retaliation. We must show to the society the crimes, which are practised against us, for the society judge and make justice. Never us. “We can say in general thesis each one is punished for what he has
sinned
.” (Allan Kardec, 973 of SB). If we practise some crime against our brother, we must run after him in order to apologize. We must regret of our sins. None is free of the Justice of God.
14 You will not commit adultery. (Exodus, XX, 14).
27 You have heard that it was said: You will not commit adultery:
28 but I say to you, the one that looks to a woman and desires her, has already committed adultery with her in one's heart. (Matthew, V, 27-28).
31. "Polygamy is a human institution whose abolition marks a social progress. Marriage, according to the intention of God, must be founded on the affection of the beings who enter into it. In polygamy there is no real affection; there is only sensuality." (701 of SB). The simple and ignorant spirit pairs only for sensuality. Later his sensuality diminishes and he joins in marriage one single woman. More developed he unites for affection. The man improves himself and creates love: "Love each other;' such is the divine law by which God governs all the worlds of the universe. Love is the law of attraction for living and organized beings; attraction is the law of love for inorganic matter." (Saint Vincent de Paul, 888, a, of SB). Moses prohibited us to adulterate in flesh because of our jealousy which make us hate the adulterer; besides, our abuse of flesh allow us to contract diseases transmissible by Sex like AIDS. The sensuality makes us desire ardently the single or married woman is characteristic of our own imperfections, of our materiality. We must forgive adultery. Who is the man who has never carried sensuality in his heart? Who is the one which can condemn the adulteress and through stones on her? One day we will be free of sensuality. Until there we must forgive and be merciful. "He who professes to worship Christ, and who is proud, envious, and jealous, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this sphere, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart.” (654 of SB).
29 And if your right eye scandalizes you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members perish, and not your whole body be cast into hell.
30 And if your right hand scandalizes you, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members perish, and not your whole body go into hell. (Matthew, V, 29-30).
22 The lamp of the body is the eye: if your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
23 But if your eyes are evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! (Matthew, VI, 22-23).
33 None, after lightening a lamp, puts it in a cellar, neither under the fuel, but on the candelabrum, that they which enter in may see the light.
34 The lamp of your body is your eye: when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
35 Look so whether the light that is in you is not darkness.
36 If your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly resplendent, as the lamp when it shines with its bright light. (Luke, XI, 33-36).
32. When you see the sensuality of others, does your eye scandalize you? Or are the others who scandalize you, not your eye? I don't believe you will cut out your eye because of other's scandal. You must have got a good eye and forgive. Did your hand active the sensuality of your body? Did it scandalize you? Didn't it?! Be merciful. Forgive yourself and don't cut out your hand. "Before reproaching others with their imperfections, you would see whether we can't say about you the same things. Work in having the qualities opposite to the defects that you criticize in others, that is the way to you render superior. Does he reproach you to be avaricious? Be generous. To be proud? Be humble and modest. To be hard? Be soft. To act with lowness? Be great in all you do. In a word, act in such a way as that it may not to be said of you, in the words of Jesus, that you 'see the mote in your brother's eye, but do not see the goal post in your own.” (903 of SB). Make go out of your own eyes a merciful jet of light. Don't make a frown. Smile. Let everybody see the light emanating from your eyes. The nature doesn't jump over. The sensuality of the people must diminish gradually.
31 It was also said: Who put away his wife, will give her a writing of divorcement.
32 But I say to you, that every one that puts away his wife, except for the cause of prostitution, facilitates her to turn an adulteress: and who will marry her will commit adultery. (Matthew, V, 31-32).
33. "Is the absolute indissolubility of marriage to be found in the law of nature, or is it only an ordination of human law? It is a human law, very contrary to the law of nature. But men may change their laws; those of nature are alone unchangeable." (697 of SB). Jesus never prohibited the moral adultery. He gives us the free will to do the good or the bad. We had and will have thousands of reincarnations and we will be able to marry a different mate in each one. We can practise the moral adultery, but we can't abuse of sensuality. The abuse of sensuality, as all which is of the flesh, has consequences and punishments. "Is it true that the souls of those who will eventually be united are predestined to this union from their beginning, and that each of us has thus, in some part of the universe, his other half, to whom he will some day be necessarily reunited? No, there is no such thing as any special and fated union between any two souls." (298 of SB). The moral adultery that we must practise is the law of love for all the creatures. God created sex. So it is good, in the exact measure of our materiality, but we must use it parsimoniously, without abuse.
16 You will not witness falsely against your neighbor. (Exodus, XX, 16).
33 You also have heard that it was said to the ancestors: You will not witness falsely, but you will fulfill strictly your oaths to the Lord.
34 But I say to you: Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 nor by the ground, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither will you swear by your head, because your black hair may become white.
37 But let your speech be: Yes, yes; no, no: and more than these is of the evil one. (Matthew, V, 33-37).
34. Jesus doesn't want that we injure our neighbor, witnessing lying against him, defaming him. We must bear witness impartial of the truth that we know without making judgements. The witness must not to judge. Must say: Yes, I saw such thing; no, I didn't heard. That is all. “
There is more real greatness and honour in confessing guilty if there is an injustice
, or in forgiving if we are in the right and, in all cases, in despising insults which cannot hit us.” (Allan Kardec, 759, a, of SB).
24 eye
for eye, tooth for tooth
, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, coup for coup. (Exodus, XXI, 24-25).
15 You will not steal. (Exodus, XX, 15).
19 Neither you will steal. (Deuteronomy, V, 19).
38 You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 But I say to you:
Do not resist to do the evil
; but if someone slap you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man litigate with you, and take away your coat, let him have also your cape.
41 And if someone obliges you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Give to him that asks for you and don't turn your back to the one who wants to borrow from you. (Matthew, V, 38-42).
29 To him that hits you on the one cheek offer also the other; and if someone takes away your cape, let he take also your coat.
30 Give to every one that asks for you; and if someone takes away your goods, don't sue for it. (Luke, VI, 29-30).
34 And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what is your reward? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive again as much. (Luke, VI, 34).
35. Jesus preaches the resignation and no-violence. Give your face to be stricken. Fort is not the one who punches more people, but the one who sustains more humiliations: the most modest. If the thief takes away your watch, give also your warm clothing to him. If the thief hits you, don't complain, be quiet; cause if you complain, he will beat you. If you don't do it for love to him, do it for that he will not use more violence against you. If someone wants to lament his troubles to you, listen to all and pay attention, maybe you can help him? Jesus doesn't expect that you become a usurer banker of material money. Be a creditor of the law of God. If somebody harms you, forgive and acquire a faith before the Lord. Give good moral advices of the treasure of your heart. If you give a fish, it will be consumed; but if you teach to fish, the fisherman will never be hungry again. Remember: everything has a cause. We made the evil in the past.
43 You have heard that it was said: You will love your neighbor, and hate your enemy:
44 But I say to you: Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;
45 that you become sons of your Father who is in heaven; because he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
46 If you love them that love you, what reward do you have? Do not the publicans also do the same?
47 And if you greet your brothers only, what do you more than others? Do not the foreigners do the same too?
48 You will be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew, V, 43-48).
13 You will be perfect, as the Lord, your God. (Deuteronomy, XVIII, 13).
40 The disciple is not above his Master: but every one who he is perfect will be as his Master. (Luke, VI, 40).
27 But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,
28 praise them that defame you, pray for them that calumniate you. (Luke, VI, 27-28).
32 If you love them that love you, what is your reward? Even sinners love those that love them.
33 If you do good to them that do good to you, what is your merit? Even sinners do the same. (Luke, VI, 32-33).
35 Love your enemies, and do good for them, and lend, never expecting devolution; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. Cause he is kind to the ingrate and bad.
36 Be merciful, as your Father is merciful. (Luke, VI, 35-36).
36. “Everything tends to the same goal (end); and God has made His laws for the whole world. You often say: The sun shines for all, and, in saying this, you speak a truth greater, and more general than you can.” (803 of SB). "Good actions are the best prayers, because acts are more worth than words." (661 of SB). "The spirit of him who prays acts for his volition to do good. By prayer, he attracts to himself good spirits who associates with him in the good he wants to do." (662 of SB). "To pray for others is an act of our will. If our will is ardent and sincere, it calls good spirits to the aid of the party prayed for, and thus helps him by the suggestion of good thoughts" (Allan Kardec, 662 of SB). "By your prayer, you excite him to repentance, and to the desire of doing all that in him lies to become happy." (664 of SB). "The merit of virtuous action depends on the difficulty involved in it; it would there be no merit in doing right without pain and when it doesn't cost anything." (646 of SB). We must pray for our incarnated and disembodied enemies (disaffections): the obsessing Spirits (demons). "We can pray for them and repaying to them the good for the evil, they will finish understanding their injustice. And, if we remain set above their machinations, they stop because they see they gain nothing." (531, a, of SB). "Jesus has also said:
Love even your enemies
. But would it not be contrary to our natural tendencies, and does not enmity proceed from a lack of sympathy between spirits? Surely we can't feel tender and passionate love for our enemies; that is not what Jesus said. To 'love your enemies' means their pardon, and they will return good for evil. So we deviated them higher, during the revenge we place ourselves below them." (887 of SB). The prayer that "you address for a suffering spirit for whom you feel affection or compassion, is accepted by him as a testimony of remembrance that never fails to bring relief and consolation to the sufferer. If he manifests the slightest sign of repentance; but only then; help is sent to him. But he is never allowed to remain in ignorance that a sympathizing heart took care of him, and, is always remaining a sweet thought that this friendly intercession has been useful to him. Thus your intervention necessarily induces a feeling of gratitude and affection, on his part, to the friend who has given him this proof of kindness and of pity; consequently the love among men recommended by Christ will be increased between them. They will thus have obeyed the law of love and union imposed on all the beings of the universe; the Divine Law must drive to the unity (union): the aim and end of the Spirit." (665 of SB). God ís unique and we will be supremely perfect in the unity of God one day. It is necessary to pay attention to the opinion of our enemies: souls and spirits: “Endeavor also to learn what is thought by others; and do not despise the opinion of your enemies, for they have no interest in dissimulating the truth, and God often places them beside you as a mirror, to warn you more frankly than it would be done by a friend.” (Saint Augustine, 919 of SB)”. We need to know our imperfections through our enemies to get free of our impurities.
1 Avoid making justice before men, to be seen by them: you will have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
2 When so you do alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, for their glory before men. Truly I say to you: They have received their reward.
3 But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does;
4 for your alms are in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will recompense you. (Matthew, VI, 1-4).
37 Now as he spoke, a pharisee asked him to eat with him; and he went in, and sat down at the table.
38 And when the pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before eating.
39 And the Lord said to him: You, the pharisees, clean the outside of the cup and of the dish; but your inside is full of prey and perversity.
40 Foolish ones! Didn't he that made the outside made the inside also?
41 But give for alms those things, which you
do have
; and all things are clean to you. (Luke, XI, 37-41).
10 No knapsack for your path, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor walking stick;
because the laborer is dignified by the work which pays his food
. (Matthew, X, 10).
8 neither we did eat bread at the cost of other, but in labor and fatigue, working night and day, for that we are not heavy to any of you:
9 not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you would imitate us.
10 Because even when we were with you, this we commanded you:
If someone don't want to work, neither he will eat
.
11 Cause we hear of some that walk among you disorderly, that work not at all, but they interfere in others life.
12 We command and exhort them in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. (II Thessalonians, III, 8-12).
37. Jesus accepted the material alms of the pharisee. But this humiliated Him. Then Jesus said that we must firstly give the moral alms, the teaching that will be kept for infinite reincarnations. "Instead of despising the ignorance and the vice, instruct them, and moralize them. Be sweet and kind to all your inferiors. Be the same to the lowermost beings of the creation; and you will have obeyed the law of God." (Saint Vincent de Paul, 888, a, of SB). "If a good moral education had taught them to practise the law of God, they would not have fallen into the excesses which have caused their downfall." (889 of SB). The little coin or the dish of soup will consume and disappear. What we do have is different of what we retain.
We have
our knowledge, but we retain only material goods, because we will not take a cheap cent to the kingdom of heaven. "The only sufferings that can elevate you are those which come upon you naturally, because they are inflicted by God." (726 of SB). The suffering of the indigent will make he elevate himself. The suffering is for our progress. "The strong must work for the weak; if he has no
family
, society must supply its place. Such is the law of charity." (685, a, of SB). "Alimony are a obligation when the relative, which intend it, has no assets, neither can provide, by his work, his own maintenance, and the person, whom he complain, can supply it, without defalcation of the necessary to his own maintenance." (article 399 of the
Brazilian Civil Code
). The relative who doesn't pay alimony may be arrested until he pays (article 244 of the
Brazilian Penal Code
and article 5, LXVII, of the
Brazilian Federal Constitution
). "The man reduced to beg alms decreases morally and physically; he becomes brutish. In a society based on the law of God and in the justice, the provision to the life of the
weak
must be made without humiliating. The society must assure the existence of them who can't work, without abandoning their life to the pity at random of willingly men." (888 of SB). "The social assistance will be paid to whom needs it, independently of contribution to the public social insurance, and it has for aims: (...) V – the guaranty of a minimum wage of monthly benefit to the person carrying a deficiency and to the elderly ones who prove they don't have means to provide their own maintenance or been provided by his family, according to the dispositions of the law." (article 203,
caput
and item V, of the
Brazilian Federal Constitution
). The benefit (to residents in Brazil) must be petitioned by the elderly one or by the person who carries a physic or mental necessity to the National Brazilian Institute of Social Insurance. "Why don't they work for the good of their fellow men? Let them dress the indigent; let them comfort those who mourn; let them work for the patients; let them support hardships for relief of the unhappy ones and their life will be useful and delightful to God." (726 of SB). "The wise man, to be happy, looks to the low, never to the above, in order to raise his soul to the infinite." (923 of SB). "The healthfulness is right of all and duty of the nation," (article 196 of the
Brazilian Federal Constitution
). It is directrix of the Brazilian Unique System of Healthfulness (SUS): "total rendering, with priority to the preventive activities, without detriment of the assistance services;" (article 198, II, of the
Brazilian Federal Constitution
). "God always blesses those who do good; to help the pauper and afflicted is the best way of honouring Him." (673 of SB). "Alms, my friends, are useful sometimes because they can bring relief to those who are pauper. But this is almost always humiliating, not only for the giver but also for the receiver." (Carita, GAS, XIII, 14). "Jesus spoke principally of alms because in those days, in the country in which He lived, the kinds of work in the arts and industry in which riches could be usefully employed were not yet known. So then, to all who are able to give, be it much or little, I would say this: give money only when it is necessary, and then as often as possible convert it into wages so that the person who receives it is not ashamed." (Fenelon, GAS, XVI, 13). The work dignifies the man. "Every useful occupation is a work." (675 of SB). "A fortune is often sent to an individual for the sole purpose of giving him the opportunity of repairing an injustice." (809 do LE). "God is just; He condemns only him who is voluntarily useless; cause this lives on the work of others. He wants that each one will render useful according to his faculties." (680 of SB). "It competes to the Courts of Right to Work: a) conciliate and judge: (...) III – the dissidences resultant of contracts of piecework in what the laborer is operative or artificer;" (article 652, a, III, of the
Brazilian Consolidation of the Rights of Work
– CLT). "In case of services of professionals of any activity, exercised by individual or collective contract of piecework, with or without inspection of the other contracting part, the professional card will be annotated by his professional syndicate or by the legal representative of his cooperative." (article 34 of CLT). The civil societies could help their assisted frequenters to create cooperative societies of rendering service (brazilian federal law 5764/16.12.1971), when they can work. "True charity is always good and benevolent, such as in the manner or in the action. A service rendered with delicacy has a double price; but if rendered with haughtiness, the poverty will compel his reception, but the heart will not be touched. "Remember, also, that ostentation destroys, in the sight of God, the merit of good action. Jesus has said: 'Let not your left hand know what your right hand does;' he teaches you not do dirty charity with pride." (888, a, of SB). “We must never have the idea of allowing himself to die of hunger; a man could always find the means of obtaining food. Pride mustn't be interposed between necessity and work. We always said that: There is no foolish work; that is not the situation what shame on you; we say that for others, not for us.” (929 of SB). "Fortune is not given to anyone to be thrown with the wind, neither to others to be buried in a safe; it is a
deposit of which they will have to render an account
, for they will have to answer for all the good they might have done, and they didn't; for all the tears they have dried with the money they have wasted on those who had no necessity of it." (896 of SB). We must not give money to the one who doesn't need it, or to whom that wants to spend it with sins. The guilty one of this act is who received and the one who gave it too, cause it is like to take the food of the starving one to give it to the gluttonous one.
5 And when you pray, you will not be as the hypocrites: because they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Truly I say to you: They have received their reward.
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your bedroom, and having closed your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will recompense you.
7 And in praying do not use mere repetitions, as the foreigners do: because they think that they will be heard for speaking a lot.
8 Do not be like to them: because your Father knows what things you have necessity of, before you ask him.
9 You will pray: Our Father, who are in heaven, your name is Holy (pure).
10 Your kingdom comes. Your will is done, as in earth, so on heaven.
11 Give us our daily bread today.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And do not let us succumb into temptation of doing the evil, but release us of the evil,
for yours is the kingdom, the might and the glory forever
. Amen!
14 Because if you forgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their offenses, neither your Father will forgive your offenses. (Matthew, VI, 5-15).
18 Truly I say to you that everything you will tie on earth will be tied in heaven; and everything you will untie on earth will be untied in heaven. (Matthew, XVIII, 18).
1 Once Jesus was praying in a certain place; when he finished, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he taught them: When you pray, say: Father, Holy (pure) is your name. Your kingdom comes.
3 Give us our daily bread day by day.
4 And forgive us our sins; because we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And do not let us succumb into temptation of doing the evil. (Luke, XI, 1-4).
1 And he spoke a parable about the duty of praying without discouraging:
2 There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man.
3 There was also a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Judge my cause against my adversary.
4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 but because this widow troubles me, I will judge her demand, to stop that she continues to come to me.
6 And the Lord said: Hear what the unrighteous judge said.
7 And will not God judge his elects, that cry to him day and night, and though it appears he delays in defending them?
8 I say to you, that he will make justice quickly. But, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
9 And he spoke also this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised the others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The pharisee stood and prayed with himself: God, I thank you, that I am not as the rest of men: thieves, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.
13 But the publican, standing far, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but hit his breast, saying: God, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I say to you: This man went down justified to his house; not the other. Because every one that exalts himself will be humiliated; but he that humbles himself will be exalted. (Luke, XVIII, 1-14).
38. The adoration consists "In the elevation of the thought to God." (649 of SB). "Prayer is an act of adoration. To pray to God is to think of Him, to approach to Him, to put one's self in
communication
with Him." (659 of SB). "). “When you are in doubt, invoke your good Spirit,
or pray to
our Master (Lord) among all, God
, that He sends you one of His messengers, the one of us
." (523 of SB). God "has His devoted agents at every step of the scale of spheres." (536, b, of SB). “In order to
communicate
directly with God, a spirit must have made himself worthy of such communication. God transmits His orders through spirits of higher degrees of perfection and knowledge.” (244, b, of SB). "It is these
communications
between each man and his familiar spirit that does make all men mediums." (495 of SB). "Every one that feels, in any degree, the influence of the spirits is, for this fact, medium." (Allan Kardec, MB, 2¬ part, XIV, item 159). "God prefers those who worship Him from the heart, with sincerity, and by doing what is good and avoiding what is evil, to those who have faith they honour Him by ceremonies" (654 of SB). "That who does the profession of
worshiping the Christ
, and who is proud, envious, and jealous, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this world, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart." (654 of SB). The collective prayer is preferable: "When those who sympathize in thought and feeling are assembled together, they have more power to attract good Spirits to them. It is the same when they are assembled for worshipping God. But you must not therefore conclude that private worship is less good; for each man can worship God thinking in Him." (656 of SB). "Through prayer we can propose three things: to praise, to demand, and to acknowledge." (659 of SB). "The essential is not to pray for a long time, but to pray well. Such persons suppose that all the virtue of prayer is in its length, and shut their eyes to their own defects. Prayer, for them, is an occupation, a means of passing their time, but not
a study of themselves
. In such cases, it is not the remedy that is inefficacious, but the mode in which it is employed." (660, a, of SB). "Nevertheless, your just demands are deferred more often than you think." (663 of SB). ). God "suggests to you the necessary thought to you get yourselves out of your embarrassment." (663 of SB). "Prayer is a mighty succor in everything; but you must believe well that it is not enough to mutter any words to obtain what you desire. God helps those who act, but not those who limit their action in demanding. It is therefore necessary for the person obsessed to do his maximum to cure himself of the defects which attract evil spirits to him." (479 of SB). "The good actions are the best prayers, because acts are more worth than words." (661 of SB). "He who calls spirits to his aid, in order to obtain from them the gifts of fortune or any other favor, rebels against Providence." (550 of SB). The spirits make us conquer richness "often as a test, a trial." (533 of SB). The spirits who give it to you "are often the spirits that want to lead you to the evil. These are easy means of doing through the material pleasures procured by wealth." (533, a, of SB). "Those who executes material facts are always of an inferior order, at the home of spirits as the home of men." (538, a, of SB). "Through his love in material pleasures, he brings himself under the power of impure spirits." (550 of SB). Jesus has the
might
: "Because of this my Father loves me, because I give my life to get it back again. None takes it out of me, but I give it by myself. I have the might to give, and I have might to take it back. This commandment I received from my Father." (John, X, 17-18). "All might has been given to me in heaven and on earth." (Matthew, XXVIII, 18). Jesus has the
kingdom
: "My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I would not be delivered to the jews: but now my kingdom is not from here." (John, XVIII, 36). Jesus has the
glory
: "And I give them the glory which you gave to me; so they will be one, as we are one." (John, XVII, 22). One day we will be pure Spirits (Holy Spirits as Jesus and Gabriel and we will enter into the glory of God). The prayer of the Lord says that the name of God is Holy (pure). "You will be holy; because I, the Lord, your God, I am holy." (Leviticus, XIX, 2). "You will be perfect as the Lord your God is perfect." (Deuteronomy, XVIII, 13).
16 When you fast, don't look
sad
as the hypocrites: because they disfigure their faces to show the men that they fast. Truly I say to you: They have received their reward.
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
18 for you don't show the men that you fast, but to your Father, in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will recompense you. (Matthew, VI, 16-18).
34 Be on your guard for yourselves, in order to your hearts do not be overcharged with consequences of
gluttony, and inebriation, and cares of this life
, and that day come on you suddenly as a bow. (Luke, XXI, 34).
14 Then come to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do the pharisees and we fast, but your disciples don't fast?
15 And Jesus said to them: Can the
sons of the marriage
be
sad
, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they fast will.
16 And no man puts a slash of new cloth upon an old cloth; because the slash takes part of the old cloth, and the rupture will get bigger.
17 Neither one puts new wine into old barrels or the barrels tear, and the wine is spilled, and the barrels will ruin themselves. But put new wine into fresh barrels, and both are preserved. (Matthew, IX, 14-17).
18 And John's disciples and the pharisees were fasting. And they come and asked: Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?
19 And Jesus said to them: Can the
sons of the marriage
fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
21 No man sews a patch of new cloth on an old cloth; because the new patch takes part of the old cloth, and the rupture becomes bigger.
22 And no man puts new wine into old barrels; or the wine will split the barrels, and the wine and the barrels will ruin themselves. But they put new wine into fresh barrels. (Mark, II, 18-22).
33 And they said to him: The disciples of John and the disciples of the pharisees fast often, and make prayers; but yours eat and drink.
34 But Jesus said to them: Can you make the
sons of the marriage
fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the days will come; and when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.
36 He
also spoke a parable to them: No man takes out a piece from a new cloth and puts it upon an old cloth; or he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old
.
37 And no man puts new wine into old barrels; so the new wine will tear the barrels, and it will be spilled, and the barrels will perish.
38 But new wine must be put into fresh barrels.
39 And no man having drunk old wine prefers new; because he says:
The old is better
. (Luke, V, 33-39).
16 To whom will I compare this generation? It is like to children sitting in the public squares, who call to their fellows:
17 We played the flute to you, and you did not dance; we played lamentations, and you did not weep.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
19 The
Son of Man
came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of publicans and sinners! But the sons of wisdom justify him. (Matthew, XI, 16-19).
31 To whom will I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
32 They are like to children that sit in the public square, and call one to another: We played flute to you, and you did not dance; we played lamentations, and you did not weep.
33 For John the Baptist comes eating no bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He has a demon.
34 The
Son of Man
is come eating and drinking; and you say: Behold, a gluttonous man, and a guzzler, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 But the sons of wisdom justify him. (Luke, VII, 31-35).
13 I saw in my visions of night, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like to a
son of man
, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and the kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages would serve him; his dominion is an eternal dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom that which will not be destroyed. (Daniel, VII, 13-14).
16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said:
Gabriel
, make this man to understand the vision.
17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was astonished, and fell upon my face; but he said to me: Understand,
son of man
; because the vision will happen in the time of the end. (Daniel, VIII, 16-17).
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, saying:
15 Lord, have mercy on my son, because he is epileptic, and suffers very much; for many times he falls into the fire, and other times into the water.
16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 And Jesus said: Oh! Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I support you? Bring him to me.
18 And Jesus reprehended the demon and this went out of the boy; and since then the boy was cured.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus and said: Why couldn't we expel it?
20 And
he said to them: Because of your little faith: For truly I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain: Remove from here to there; and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible to you
.
21 But this race of obsessing spirits you will not expel without
prayer and fast
. (Matthew, XVII, 14-21).
14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude round them, and scribes questioning with them.
15 And suddenly all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to salute him.
16 And he asked them: What did you question with them?
17 And one of the multitude answered him: Master, I brought to you my son, who has a
dumb spirit
;
18 and this takes him anywhere, he throws him down; and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and becomes thin. I spoke to your disciples that they would cast it out; and they were not able.
19 And he answered them: Oh! Faithless generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I support to you? Bring him to me.
20 And they brought him to him; and when he saw him, suddenly the spirit shook him violently; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he asked his father: How long time is it since this has happened to him? And he said: Since childhood.
22 And many times it has cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to kill him; but if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 And Jesus said to him: If you can! All things are possible to him that believes.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out: I believe! Help my unfaithfulness.
25 When Jesus saw that the multitude increased, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him:
Dumb and deaf spirit
, I command you, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And having cried out, and shaking him much, he came out; and the boy became as dead; such that many ones said: He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he stood up.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately: How is it that we could not cast it out?
29 And he said to them: This kind can't come out without
prayer and fast
. (Mark, IX, 14-29).
37 On the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
38 And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying: Master, I demand you to look upon my only son;
39 and behold, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and he tears him that he foams, and he hardly departs from him, leaving him contused.
40 And I begged to your disciples to cast him out; but they could not.
41 And Jesus answered: Oh! Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you, and support you? Bring here your son.
42 And as he was coming, the demon dashed him down, and shook him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,
44 Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men. (Luke, IX, 37-44).
1 Now faith is the certainty of hoped things, and the proof of things not seen. (Hebrews, XI, 1).
39 And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying: Father, if it be possible, let this calix (cup) pass away from me! However, don't do as I want, but as you do.
40 And he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping; and said to Peter: So, couldn't you watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation; the spirit, truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. (Matthew, XXVI, 39-41).
39. "Whatever man can eat without injury to his health is permitted to him." (722 of SB). "In your physical constitution, flesh feeds flesh; or the man will become thin. The law of preservation makes it a duty for man to keep up his strength and health to fulfil the law of work. So he would feed himself according to the requirements of his organisation." (723 of SB). “There are also men who find satisfaction in getting drunk; do you approve them? A mode of life, by the adoption of which you condemn yourselves not to be useful to any one, cannot be pleasing to God.” (769 of SB). " In proportion as a Spirit becomes purified, the body with which he clothes himself also approaches more nearly to the spirit-nature. The matter of which his body is composed is less dense, he no longer crawls heavily on the surface of the ground; his bodily needs are less gross and the various living beings in those higher worlds are no longer obliged to destroy one another in order to feed themselves. The spirit has more freedom, and possesses, in regard to objects at a distance, orders of perception of a nature unknown to us; he sees with his eyes what we see only in thought." (Allan Kardec, 182 of SB). The more we progress, the less we need food, naturally, with some endeavor, until we are like Jesus who, absolutely, doesn't need matter. "The welfare is a natural will. God only prohibits excess, because excess is enemy of conservation; he has not made it a crime to seek after welfare, if that welfare is not acquired at another's expense, and if it doesn't weaken either your moral or your physical power." (719 of SB). We must feed ourselves with moderation, to supply our daily necessities of nutrition without alcoholic drink, without obesity, neither any other damage to health. "Meritorious is resistance to the temptation that solicits to excess or to the joy of useless things; it is to suppress his necessary to give to the one who doesn't have enough. If the privation is only a lie, it is a derision." (720, a, of SB). "The only sufferings that can elevate you are those which come upon you naturally, because they are inflicted by God. Voluntary sufferings count for nothing when they are not useful to others. Do you suppose that those who shorten their lives by superhuman hardships, like the bonzes, fakirs, and fanatics of various sects, advance their progress? Why don't they work for the good of their fellow men? Let them dress the indigent; let them comfort those who mourn; let them work for the patients; let them support hardships for relief of the unhappy ones and their life will be useful and delightful to God. When your voluntary sufferings are undergone only for yourselves, they are mere selfishness; when you suffer for others, you obey the law of charity. Such are the precepts of the Christ." (726 of SB). "The instinct of conservation has been given to all beings to guard them against dangers and sufferings. Flagellate your spirit, and not your body; mortify your pride; suffocate the selfishness that eats into the heart like a snake; and you will do more for your advancement than by the severity that don't belong to this century anymore." (727 of SB). It is meritorious to abstain of animal food "if we deny for others; but God cannot see a mortification when there isn't a
serious and useful
abstinence; this is because we say that those who fast falsely are hypocrites." (724 of SB). That is because of this that Jesus recommended the fast to expel obsessing spirits. It is important that the medium doesn't drink alcoholic drink neither red meat (cattle, porks, goats, sheep, hunting, etc). The medium must exchange the red meat by the boiled soybean during the fast (no chickens and other birds) of two days before meeting for communication with spirits. The obsessed person can get casting out obsessing spirits making fast, for they will look for gluttons to haunt. The possession "is never done without the participation of this who suffers it
, through his weakness
or his desire." (474 of SB). Jesus expelled the deaf and dumb spirit who was transmitting these diseases to the possessed boy. "If you attribute a malady to the devil, you may say, when you have cured the malady, that you have driven the devil away." (480 of SB). We are all sons of men, like Jesus; and sons of God. Every man can have sons: a Son of God. It is interesting like Jesus compares the obsessing spirit to a mountain which can be set from one place to another if we have faith. Alcoholic beverage always harms our health. In the minimum it causes chronic depression. In the maximum it will make us enter into the line of the receptors of human organs: then, we will be able, or not, to receive a slash of new cloth. It is useless to ask the Father to let this bitter cup (calyx) pass away. This calyx of anguish is originated of the use of alcohol.
19 Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust waste, and where thieves excavate and steal;
20 but accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust do waste, and where thieves do not dig nor steal;
21 because where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.
22 The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.
23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 No man can serve two lords; because either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will serve to one, and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and Momus (god of Carnival).
25 then I say to you: Do not be anxious for your life, about what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor for your body, what you will dress. Is not the life more than the food, and the body more than the clothes?
26 Behold the birds of the heaven: They sow not, neither they harvest, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you much more worthy then they?
27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to the measure of his stature?
28 And why are you anxious concerning clothes? Consider the lilies of the field: how they grow; they don't work, neither they spin.
29 I say to you: Even Solomon, in all his glory, didn't dress like one of these.
30 But if God does clothe the grass of the field, which today is, but tomorrow is cast to the oven, will he not much more clothe you, Oh! man of little faith?
31 So, do not be anxious, saying: What will we eat? or, What will we drink? or, What will we clothe?
32 Because these things are sought by the foreigners; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 But look for his kingdom first, and his justice; and all these things will be added to you.
34 So do not be unquiet for the day of tomorrow: because the day of tomorrow will bring his cares; it is sufficient its own evil to each day. (Matthew, VI, 19-34).
22 And he said to his disciples: I say to you: Do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat; nor for your body, what you will wear.
23 Because the life is more than the food, and the body more than the clothes.
24 Look to the crows, they don't sow, neither reap; which have no pantry nor granary; but God feeds them. How much worthier are you than the birds!
25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to the measure of his height?
26 If then you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you anxious concerning the rest?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow; they do not spin, neither they weave. But I say to you: Even Solomon in all his glory did not dress as one of these.
28 But if God does clothe the grass in the field, which today is, but tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more he will clothe you, Oh! Man of little faith?
29 Do not ask what you will eat, or what you will drink, neither think in disquietudes.
30 Because the foreigners of the entire world look for that; but your Father knows that you do need these things.
31 Seek his kingdom first of all, and these things will be added to you.
32 Do not fear, oh! Little herd; because it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell which you have, and give alms; make for yourselves bags which do not wear out, an eternal treasure in the heavens, where no thief arrives, neither moth destroys.
34 Because where your treasure is, there will also be your heart. (Luke, XII, 22-34).
41 But give for alms what you have; and behold, all things will be clean to you. (Luke, XI, 41).
45 The good man brings out of the good treasure of his heart what is good, and the evil man brings out the evil; because the mouth talks about the abundance of the heart. (Luke, VI, 45).
40. The man owns "nothing which is for the use of the body, but everything which is for the use of the soul, such as intelligence, knowledge and moral qualities. This is what man brings and takes with him, which no one can take away and which will be far more use in the next world than in the present one. (...) His future position will depend solely on what qualities have been gained in the present life." (Pascal, GAS, XVI, 9). "See if the work, counseling, or even offering real affection would not be more efficient than the mere giving of alms. Diffuse all around you with joy and in plenty, your love for God, for work and for your neighbor. (...) The riches of intelligence must serve you just as those of wealth do. Disperse around you the benefits of education and the treasure of your love over your brothers and sisters that they will fructify on the right time." (Cheverus, GAS, XVI, 11). One day we will be like Jesus which is pure Spirit and did not have even a material body when he was on earth and, then, we will have only moral worth to give. While we are materialized spirits we can also practise the material charity, though it is not the more important. "The spirit can only advance gradually. He cannot interchange at a jump the distance which separates barbarism from civilization." (Allan Kardec, 271 of SB). Jesus doesn't expect that we live of air. He wants that we seek the recourses of the intelligence and the heart first of all, then, so, the material goods will be added naturally, without surplus. The true property is that one that we can carry to the world of the Spirits. Concerning to the material goods, we can not carry even our body of flesh, it doesn't mean that we may harm our health. If we give the fish, it will be consumed and it will be extinguished, but if we teach to fish there will always be more fish. We can also teach to create fishes. The soul "is more specially inside the head of the great genius, and everyone who thinks much, and inside the heart of those who feel much, and whose actions are dedicated to the entire humanity." (146 of SB); "the court of the soul is more especially present in the organs which serve for the manifestation of the intellectual and moral qualities." (146, a, of SB). "However this depends on the perfection. Often the spirits can only
glimpse the future (beyond)
, but it is not allowed to them to always fix it. When they see it, it appears the present moment to them. The spirit sees the beyond (future) more clearly in proportion as he approaches God. After death, the soul sees and embraces at a blow all his past emancipations, but he cannot see what God has prepared to him. That He makes for that he is entirely inside Him very after the existences." (243 of SB). In the dreams the Spirit "has a remembrance (reminiscence) of the past, and sometimes foresees the future (the beyond)." (402 of SB). "It is often a remembrance (reminiscence) of places and things which you have seen in the past, or that you will see in another existence, or in an other moment." (402 of SB). "In somnambulism and in ecstasy the man
glimpses
the past life and the
future life (beyond)
. He may study these phenomena of emancipation and he will find the solution for more than one mystery that his reason searches uselessly to penetrate." (445 of SB).
"
Dreams are the remembrance (reminiscence) of what your spirit has seen during sleep; but emphasize that you do not dream everyday, because you do not remember everyday what you have seen, or all that you have seen." (402 of SB). "Is it necessary to the emancipation of the spirit that the sleep is complete? No; the spirit recovers his freedom as soon as the senses become torpid. He employees by his emancipation every moment of departure of the body. As soon as there occurs any prostration of the vital forces, the spirit disengages himself from the body, and the weaker the body, the freer is the spirit." (407 of SB). "What you call sleep is only the relaxation of the body, because the spirit is always in motion; then during sleep he recovers a portion of his freedom, and enters into communication with those who are dear to him, either in this sphere, or in other spheres; but as the matter of the body is heavy and gross, it is difficult for him to retain, on waking, the impressions he has received during sleep, because those impressions were not received by him through the bodily organs." (403 of SB). Jesus doesn't want that we are troubled with the future. The future is the spiritual life, which we can observe in some dreams (remembrance of the sleep or emancipation of the soul). “The future life implies the conservation of our individuality after death.” (Allan Kardec, 959 of SB). “The communications made to us by spirits show us the future state of the soul, no longer as a matter of theory, but as a reality.” (Allan Kardec, 973 of SB). Let's take care of the present moment. Let's allow that the tomorrow takes care of itself. The christian doesn't search answers in the horoscope, gamble of horns, cards, crystal balls, etc. to know his material future. "A sort of atmosphere by which they are enveloped, and which keeps up all their former evil things; for spirits are not entirely disengaged of the body. They glimpses the truth just for few moments, in order to show him the way." (229 of SB). "God could not implant in man the necessity of living, without giving him the means of living; because of this he makes the earth with a capacity of production sufficient to furnish all its inhabitants with the necessaries of life. It is only that which is necessary that is useful; that which is superfluous is never useful." (704 of SB). "Mankind must progress unceasingly" (778 of SB). "And it is thus that most advance ones help the progress of the others through social contact." (779 of SB). Look to the squirrels. Do not they gather into barns? And the bees? Do not they produce honey? Are not you much more worthy then they? We have one Lord. We must to keep away of the god Momus, the god of Carnival, with all his imperfections: luxury, pride, gluttony, smoke, narcotics, alcohol beverage, nakedness, sensuality, dance, music, idolatry to artists or products, etc.
1 Do not judge, for you do not be judged.
2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with what measure you measure, you will be measured too.
3 And why do you see the mote that is in your brother's eye, but you do not see the goal post that is in your own eye?
4 Or how will you say to your brother: Let me cast out the mote out of your eye; and lo, the beam is in your own eye?
5 Hypocrite! Cast out first the goal post out of your own eye; and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye.
6 Give not what is holy to the dogs; neither cast your pearls before the porks, for they do not tread on under their feet, and turn and dilacerate you. (Matthew, VII, 1-6).
37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
38 give, and it will be given to you; good measure, emphasized, shaken together, running over, they will give to you. Because with what measure you measure you will be measured too.
39 And he spoke also a parable to them: Can the blind guide the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40
The disciple is not above his Master: but every one, which will be perfect, will be as his Master.
41 And why do you see the mote in your brother's eye, but you do not see the goal post in your own eye?
42 How can you say to your brother: Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in your eye, when you yourself carry the beam that is in your own eye? Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote that is in your brother's eye. (Luke, VI, 37-42).
41. “The purest light is not obscured by any cloud; the most precious diamond is the one which is without a flaw; judge the spirits, by the purity of their teachings. Do not forget that there are, among spirits, many who have not yet dispossessed themselves from their earthly ideas. Learn to distinguish them by their language; judge them by the sum of what they tell you; see whether there is logical sequence in the ideas they suggest, whether there is, in their statements, nothing that betrays ignorance, pride, or malevolence; in a word, whether their communications are always stamped by the seal of judiciousness that reveals the true superiority.” (conclusion of SB, IX). “When you are in doubt as to the quality of any one of your actions, ask yourself what would be your judgement in regard to it if it were done by another? If you would blame it in another, it cannot be more legitimate when done by you, for God's justice has neither two weights nor two measures. Endeavor also to know what is thought of it by others; and do not overlook the opinion of your enemies, for they have no interest in disguising the truth, and God often places them near you as a mirror, to warn you more frankly than would be done by a friend. Let him, then, who is firmly resolved on self-improvement examine his conscience in order to root out his evil tendencies, as he roots out the weeds from his garden;” (Saint Augustine, 919, a, of SB). “Before reproaching others with their imperfections, you would see whether we can't say about you the same things. Work in having the qualities opposite to the defects that you criticize in others, that is the way to you render superior. Does he reproach you to be avaricious? Be generous. To be proud? Be humble and modest. To be hard? Be soft. To act with lowness? Be great in all you do. In a word, act in such a way as that it may not be said of you, in the words of Jesus, that you 'see the mote in your brother's eye, but do not see the goal post in your own.” (903 of SB). “But you must not forget that indulgence for the faults of others is one of the elements of charity.” (903 of SB). Do not teach holy things to the ones who cannot understand. Do not teach reincarnation to the imperfect spirits. Do not teach the communication to the spirits to the materialists. If we do it they will gobble us. Do not do material charity dressing clothes of gala and jewelry or you will be stolen.
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it will be opened.
9 Or what man among you, who, if his son will ask him for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Or if he will ask for a fish, will give him a snake?
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? (Matthew, VII, 7-11).
5 And he said to them: If you have a friend, which among you, and he will go to you at midnight, and say to you: Friend, lend me three breads;
6 for a friend of mine who is come to me from a voyage, and I have nothing to set before him.
7 And you answer from inside: Trouble me not: the door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give you?
8 I say to you: Though you will not rise and give him because he is your friend, but because of his importunity you will arise and give him as many as he needs.
9 And I say to you: Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 For every one that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks it will be opened.
11 Which among you are a father who if your son asks a bread, and you give him a stone? Or a fish, and you for a fish give him a snake?
12 Or if he will ask an egg, will you give him a scorpion?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father, the Holy Spirit, give to them that ask him? (Luke, XI, 5-13).
42. “God has given you intelligence in order that you may make use of it, and it is especially by it that spirits come to help you suggesting useful thoughts; but they only help those who help themselves: a truth implied in the words, 'Seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you'.” (532 of SB). "Nevertheless, your just demands are deferred more often than you think. You think your prayer has not been heard, because God has not worked a miracle for you; but He helps you by means so natural that they seem to you to have been the effect of fortuity or of the ordinary course of things often too, the most often. God suggests to you the necessary thought to you get yourselves out of your embarrassment." (663 of SB). “Prayer is a mighty succor in everything; but you must believe well that it is not enough to mutter any words to obtain what you desire. God helps those who proceed." (479 of SB). “Prayer calls to your help good spirits who give you strength to support your trials with courage. So they seem to you less hard. We have said that prayer is never useless when it is well done, because it gives you strength, which is, itself, a great result. 'Aid you and heaven you aid,' you know that.” (663 of SB). “In the majority of cases it happens because of oneself. Seek, and you will find: these words do not mean that you have only to look to the ground in order to meet what we desire, but it is suitable to search with passion and perseverance, and not with softness (weakness), and without allowing yourselves to be discouraged by obstacles that are often only a mean of setting your constancy, patience, and firmness in trial.” (707 of SB). “If you obstinate yourself in a path which is not yours, the spirits do not have any guilt, you are your own evil genius.” (534 of SB). “How many people are there among you who prefer to die of misery than to work?” (995, a, of SB). “They do not have energy enough to want this who would decompose their relieve.” (995, a, of SB).
23 And one asked to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? And he said to them:
24 Endeavor to enter in by the narrow door: because many ones, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and they will not be able.
25 When the Master of the house is risen up and has closed the door, and you are outside, and to knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us; and he will answer and say to you: I do not know you where you are from;
26 then you will say: We did eat and drink in your presence, and you taught in our streets.
27 But he will say: I do not know where you are from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
28 There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when you will see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you cast out.
29 And they will come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and they will sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 But there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last. (Luke, XIII, 23-30).
12
All things, thus, you want that men will do to you, this way you will do to them
; because this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter you in by the narrow door because wide is the door, and spacious is the way, that conducts to the perdition (downfall), and many ones are those who enter in it.
14 Because narrow is the door, and compressed the way, that conducts to life, and few are those who find it. (Matthew, VII, 12-14).
31
And as you want that men will do to you, you will also do to them likewise
. (Luke, VI, 31).
1 Truly, truly, I say to you: He that does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the doorkeeper opens; and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by the name, and leads them out.
4 When he has put out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 And they will not follow the stranger; but will escape from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand the sense of that he was talking about.
7 Jesus, so, said to them again: Truly, truly, I say to you: I am the door of the sheep.
8
All that came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them
.
9 I am the door. If any man enter in by me, he will be saved; and will go in and go out, and will find pasturage.
10 The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came for that you have life, plentiful life.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
12 The mercenary, who is not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and escapes, then the wolf carries them, and disperses them.
13 The mercenary escapes because he is mercenary, and he doesn't care about the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know my sheep, and they know me,
15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and I give my life for the sheep.
16 And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must conduct them also; and they will hear my voice; then, there will be one flock and one shepherd.
17 For that the Father loves me, because I give my life to take it back again.
18 None takes it away from me, but I give it by myself. I have might to deliver and also to recover my life. This commandment I received from my Father.
19 There was a division again among the jews because of these words.
20 And many of them said: He has a demon, and is mad; why do you listen to him?
21 Others said: These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? (John, X, 1-21).
1 The Lord is my shepherd; nothing will be lack to me.
2 He makes me to repose in green pasturages. He conducts me to the waters of rest.
3 He refreshes my soul. He guides me in the paths of justice for the love of his name.
4 Even I walk through the valley of the shadows of death, I will fear no evil; because you are with me; your cane and your staff console me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You
anoint
my head with oil; my
cup (calyx)
runs over.
6 Kindness and mercy will surely follow me all the days of my life; and I will inhabit in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm XXIII, 1-6).
43. “As man is subject to error may he not be mistaken in his appreciation of good and evil, and believe himself to be doing right, when, in reality, he is doing wrong? Jesus has said: 'Pay attention on what you want that we do or do not to you, that is it. You will not be wrong.” (632 of SB). “Justice consists in respect for the rights of each one.” (875 of SB). “Christ has told you:
Want for others what you do want for yourself
. God has placed in the heart of man truly rule of all justice, for the desire of each one to want his own rights respected. When uncertain as to what he should do in regard to his fellow-creature in any given conjuncture, let each man demand himself what he would like that we do, in inverse sense, in the same circumstances; God could not give him a safer guide than his own conscience.” (876 of SB). “The sublime peculiarity of the Christian religion is its taking of personal right as the basis of the right of the neighbor.” (Allan Kardec, 876 of SB). The first of the obligations “is to respect the rights of others; he who respects those rights will always be just.” (877 of SB). Jesus is the narrow door. He is not the easier way, but he is surely the safest and He guides us to our moral perfecting. But the door of the perdition (downfall) is large and easy: selfishness, egocentricity, avarice, greed, pride, hate, self-love, resentment, revenge, bruise, nonconformism, cruelty, alcoholic beverage, smoking tobacco, promiscuity, narcotics, unbridled sexuality, material wealth, pleasures without end. God is our Creator. He is our Shepherd who creates us as loved lambs. We are also creators. We create our sons, our animals, pets, our plants and our things. “The incarnation puts the spirit himself to sustain his share in the work of creation;” (132 of SB).
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside are robbing wolves.
16 By their fruits you will know them. Do men gather grapes of thornbushes, or figs of eyesopen?
17 Even so every good tree brings good fruit; but the bad tree brings evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring evil fruit, neither a bad tree can bring good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bring good fruit is cut off, and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus by their fruits you will know them. (Matthew, VII, 15-20).
33 Either make the good tree, and its good fruit; or make the bad tree, and its bad fruit; because the tree is known by its fruit.
34 Race of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? Because the mouth speaks of the abundance of the heart.
35 The good man takes from his good treasure good things; but the evil man takes out of his evil treasure evil things.
36 I say to you, that for every frivolous word that men will speak, they will give account in the day of judgment.
37 Because by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. (Matthew, XII, 33-37).
22 so there will arise false Christs and false prophets, working signs and wonders, that they may deceive, if possible, even the elect ones.
23 But take aware: I have told you all things beforehand. (Mark, XIII, 22-23).
43 There is no good tree that carries bad fruit; neither bad tree that carries good fruit.
44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. Because men do not gather figs of thornbushes, nor one gather grapes of eyeopen.
45 The good man takes which is good of the good treasure of his heart; and the evil man takes which is evil of the evil treasure; because the mouth speaks of the abundance of the heart. (Luke, VI, 43-45).
25 And when Moses saw that
the people were naked
, because Aaron had let them
nude to shame them
among their enemies,
26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said: Who is on Lord's side, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
27 And he said to them: Thus said the Lord, the God of Israel:
Put your sword upon the side of each man
, and go to and from gate to gate throughout the camp, and
each man kills his brother
, and each man his friend, and
each man his neighbor
.
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and about three thousand men of the people fell down that day. (Exodus, XXXII, 25-28).
9 When you are come into the land which the Lord your God gave to you, you will not learn to do the abominations of those nations.
10 There will not be found with you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that uses soothsaying, one that practises augury, or an enchanter, or a witch doctor,
11 or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 Because whosoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord your
God does drive them out from before you
.
13 You will be perfect like the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy, XVIII, 9-13).
10 Now the Vale of the Trees was full of asphalt wells; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah escaped, and their people died there, and they that remained escaped to the mountain.
11 The winners took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went way.
18 And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought bread and wine; and he was priest of the Highest God.
19 And he blessed him, and said: Blessed is Abram of the Most High God, Possessor of heaven and earth!
20 And blessed is the Highest God, who has delivered your enemies in your hands. And He gave to Abram a tenth of all. (Genesis, XIV, 10-11 e 18-20).
8 All
that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them
.
9 I am the door. If any man enter in by me, he will be saved; and will go in and go out, and will find pasturage.
10 The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came for that you have life, plentiful life. (John, X, 8-10).
44. The text is very clear. The people accepted very easily the order of being naked e they made a feast. Then Moses ordered the levites to kill them, for their sensuality and adoration to a false golden god. Besides, Moses, using a language of difficult understanding, said that the one who talked to the spirits would get free of them. The law of destruction is very used to punish simple and ignorant spirits. Behold only the body dies, cause the spirit is eternal. Abram as the governor of his people charged the tenth (tithe) of the robbery of war. God never mistakes in his trials.
21 Not every one that says to me: Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by your name, and cast out demons by your name, and do many mighty works by your name?
23 And then I will I say explicitly to them: I never knew you. Disunite of me, you that work iniquity.
24 Every one therefore that hears these words of mine, and exercises them, will be likened to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock;
25 and the it rained, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not; because it was founded upon the rock;
26 And every one that hears these words of mine, and does them not, will be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;
27 and it rained, and the rivers flooded, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell; and great was the downfall.
28 When Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his doctrine;
29 because he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes. (Matthew, VII, 21-29).
46 And why do you call me: Lord, Lord, and do not the things, which I order?
47 Every one that comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like.
48 He is like a man building a house, who hoed and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a inundation came, the stream brake against that house, and could not shake it; because it had been well built.
49 But he that hears, and does not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream brake, and straightway it fell in; and the ruin of that house was great. (Luke, VI, 46-49).
45. It is not enough to say: Jesus is the Lord; Jesus is God. It is necessary to do his wish, the desire of the Father. Why would someone practise mediunic phenomena without doing any good? Is it useful expel demons (obsessing spirits), but do not stop praising the vices which attract them? Jesus has authority: “Yes, very great, the spirits have one over another proportional authority according to their superiority, which they exercise through a
irresistible
ascendancy moral.” (274 of SB). “Can spirits of lower degree resist themselves against the authority of those who are higher than themselves? I said
irresistible
.” (274, a, of SB).
XVIII – Healings
1 And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying: Lord, if you want, you can purify me.
3 And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying: I want; be clean. And immediately his leprosy was healed.
4 And Jesus said to him: Do not tell any man; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a witness to them. (Matthew, VIII, 1-4).
40 Came to him a leper, begging him, and kneeling down to him: If you want, you can purify me.
41 And being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him: I want; be clean.
42 And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleaned.
43 And he warned him vehemently, and straightway sent him out.
44 He said to him: Do not say anything to any man; but go to show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification the things which Moses commanded, for a witness to them.
45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, such that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places; and they came to him from every place. (Mark, I, 40-45).
12 While he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and entreated him, saying: Lord, if you want, you can purify me.
13 And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying: I want; be cleaned. And straightway the leprosy departed from him.
14 And he ordered him to tell no man; but go your way, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
15 But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their sicknesses.
16 But he removed himself in the deserts, and prayed. (Luke, V, 12-16).
46. “Does the vital principle reside in any one of the bodies known to us? It has its source in the universal fluid; it is what you call the
magnetic
fluid, or the animalized electric fluid. It is the intermediary, the link between spirit and matter.” (65 of SB). “What you call the electric fluid, the
magnetic
fluid are modifications of the universal fluid, which is, properly speaking, more perfect and subtle matter, and that we can regard as independent.” (27, a, of SB). “Which is the nature of the agent called the magnetic fluid? Vital fluid, animalized electricity; which are modifications of the universal fluid.” (427 of SB). “During life, the body receives external impressions and transmits them to the spirit through the intermediary of the perispirit, which constitutes, probably, what is called the
nervous fluid
.” (sic, Allan Kardec, 257 of SB). It is very practise to know the universal fluid, the electric current that flows from our nervous to obtain cures. We must avoid been nervous so we will keep ourselves healed to be able to consummate cures. “Do some persons really possess the gift of healing by merely touching? The
magnetic power
may act to that extent when it is seconded by purity of intention and ardent desire to do good, for, in such a case, good spirits come to aid. But it is convenient to challenge the way in which facts are narrated by credulous and enthusiastic ones, always disposed to see marvels in the simplest and most natural things. It is convenient also to challenge the self-interested narration of folks who exploit the credulity with a view to their own gain.” (556 of SB). “Remember that Good Spirits only give their aid to those who serve God with humility and disinterestedness; they repudiate everyone who seeks in the way of the heaven as a ladder for things of the earth, they exclude themselves from the proud and the ambitious ones.” (prolegomena of SB). Jesus ordered the leper to silence, but he went away and told that the Lord had healed him to everybody. We must not to make publicity of our ability to cure. If it there is it will be propagated naturally from mouth to mouth. “Is there any link between what is called magnetic somnambulism and natural somnambulism? They are the same thing; but the natural somnambulism is not provoked.” (426 of SB). Through superpositions of the magnetic pass the natural sleepwalker can be induced to the magnetic somnambulism. We must cure. “God always blesses those who do good; to alleviate the pauper and afflicted is the best way to honor Him.” (673 of SB). “The only sufferings that can elevate you are those which come upon you naturally, because they are inflicted by God. Voluntary sufferings count for nothing when they are not useful to others. Do you suppose that those who shorten their lives by superhuman hardships, like the bonzes, fakirs, and fanatics of various sects, advance their progress? Why don't they work for the good of their fellow men? Let them dress the indigent; let them comfort those who mourn; let them
work for the patients
; let them support hardships for relief of the unhappy ones and their life will be useful and delightful to God.” (726 of SB). We must never search for suffering. We must always search to cure and to be cured. “The instinct of conservation has been given to all beings to guard them
against
dangers and
sufferings
. Flagellate your spirit, and not your body; mortify your pride; suffocate the selfishness that eats into the heart like a snake; and you will do more for your advancement than by the severity that don't belong to this century anymore.” (727 of SB). The spirits warn you to make that you avoid accidents, through your thoughts “for we do not love physical suffering; but this is of little importance to the life you have chosen.” (859 of SB). The material suffering do not make us develop.
1 He entered again into Capernaum after some days, and the notice ran that he was in the house.
2 And many went there, there was no place even at the door, and he spoke the word to them.
3 And they come, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four.
4 And when they could not come near him, because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed where the sick of the palsy was.
5 And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic: Son, your sins are forgiven.
6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Why does this man speak like this? He blasphemed! Who can forgive sins but one, which is God?
8 And Jesus, perceiving immediately in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them: Why reason you these things in your hearts?
9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic: Your sins are forgiven; or to say: Arise, and take your bed, and walk?
10 But that you must know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the sick of the palsy),
11 I say to you: Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.
12 And he arose, and straightway took the bed, and went away before them all; and they were all so amazed that they glorified God, saying: We have never saw something like this! (Mark, II, 1-12).
17 And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were pharisees and masters of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal.
18 And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
19 And not finding by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the middle before Jesus.
20 And seeing their faith, he said: Man, your sins are forgiven.
21 And the scribes and the pharisees began to reason, saying: Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
22 But Jesus perceiving their thoughts, answered and said to them: What reason do you have in your hearts?
23 Which is easier, to say: Your sins are forgiven; or to say: Arise and walk?
24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to him that was palsied), I say to you: Arise, and take up your berth, and go to your house.
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took his bed, and went to his house, glorifying God.
26 And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying: We have seen prodigies today. (Luke, V, 17-26).
1 And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed. And Jesus seeing their faith said to the sick of the palsy: Son,
you have good soul
; your sins are forgiven.
3 And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves: This man blasphemed.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said:
Why do you have the evil in your hearts?
5 For which is easier, to say: Your sins are forgiven; or to say: Arise, and walk?
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins (then he said to the sick of the palsy): Arise, and take your bed, and go to your house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men. (Matthew, IX, 1-8).
47. The scribes were amazed because Jesus forgave sins, because they were not able to forgive anyone. The paralytic was sick for his guilt sins that he carried and he was unable to forgive himself. “The spirit is reflected in the body; and although the body is only matter, it is modeled on the capacities of the spirit, which impresses upon it a certain character that is more particularly visible in the appearance, and it is truly that we designate that the eyes are the mirror of the soul; that is to say, that the appearance properly reflects the soul,” (217 of SB). We must be indulgent for everybody and even for us. The Psychosomatic Medicine was used by Jesus who teaches us that if we mistreat our spirit we will also mistreat our body of flesh. We must to regret and not to sin again.
5 And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, imploring to him:
6 Lord, my servant lies in the house sick of the palsy, suffering horribly.
7 And he said to him: I will go and heal him.
8 But the centurion answered: Lord, I am not worthy that you come under my roof; but only order by the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one: Go, and he goes; and to another: Come, and he comes; and to my servant: Do this, and he does it.
10 And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed: Truly I say to you, I have not found so great faith, nor in Israel.
11 And I say to you, that many will come from the east and the west, and they will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
13 And Jesus said to the centurion: Go way; it will be done according what you believe. And the servant was healed in that hour. (Matthew, VIII, 5-13).
1 After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.
4 And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying: He is worthy that you would do this for him;
5 because he is friend of our people, and he built us our synagogue himself.
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was near from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him: Lord, do not trouble yourself; for I am not worthy that you come under my roof.
7 So I am not myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 Because I am also a man set under authority, having soldiers under my orders, and I say to this one: Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant: Do this, and he does it.
9 And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude that followed him: I say to you, I have not found so great faith, nor in Israel.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant healthy. (Luke, VII, 1-10).
43 And after the two days he get out and went to Galilee.
44 Because Jesus himself witnessed, that a prophet has no honor in his own ground.
45 So when he came into Galilee, the galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; because they also went to the feast.
46 He drove himself to Cana of Galilee again, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain official of the king, whose child was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his child; because he was at the point of death.
48 Jesus said to him: If you do not see signs and wonders, you will believe in no wise.
49 The official of the king said to him: Sir, come down or my child dies.
50 Jesus said to him: Go your way; your child lives. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying that his child lived.
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he became better. They said to him: Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him: Your child lives; and he believed, and his whole house.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee. (John, IV, 43-54).
48. “The order does not come directly from God, for communicating with God, it is convenient to be worthy of such communication. God transmits His orders through spirits of higher degrees of perfection and knowledge.” (244, b, of SB). “Yes, very great, the spirits have one over another proportional authority according to their superiority, which they exercise through a
irresistible
ascendancy moral.” (274 of SB). “Can spirits of lower degree resist themselves against the authority of those who are higher than themselves? I said
irresistible
.” (274, a, of SB). God “has His devoted agents at
every step of the ladder of worlds
.” (536, b, of SB). “Those who execute material facts are always of an inferior order, at the home of the spirits as the home of men.” (538, a, of SB). This way Jesus sent good spirits physicians to cure the servant of the centurion, which had much faith and knew that Jesus has spirits under his services, as he had servants serving him.
10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went to Haran.
11 And he arrived to certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 And he dreamed. Behold,
a ladder set on the earth whose top reached to heaven; and, behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it
.
13 And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said: I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land where you lay down, I will I give it to you, and to your
descent (seed).
14 Your descent will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And in you and in descent will be blessed all the families of the earth.
15 And, behold, I am with you, and I will keep you wherever you go, and I will bring you again into this land; because I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken to you.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said: Surely the Lord is in this place; and I didn't know it.
17 And he was afraid and said: How dreadful is this place! This is the House of God, the door of heaven.
18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a
pillar
, and put olive oil upon the top of it.
19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of the city was Luz (light in portuguese) at the first.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying: If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and cloth to put on,
21 so that I come again to my father's house in peace, and the Lord will be my God;
22 and this stone, which I have set up for a column (pillar), will be God's house; and of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth (tithe) to you. (Genesis, XXVIII, 10-22).
XIX – Jesus and the Kingdom of God
57 And as they went on the way, a certain man said to him: I will follow wherever you go.
58 And Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of Man doesn't have where to lay his head.
59 And he said to another: Follow me! But he said: Lord, allow me first to go and sepulcher my father.
60 But he said to him: Let the dead to bury their own dead. But go and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said: I will follow you, Lord; but first allow me to part from them that are at my house.
62 But Jesus said to him: No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. (Luke, IX, 57-62).
18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he ordered them to pass to the
beyond (future).
19 And there came a scribe, and said to him: Master, I will follow you wherever you go.
20 And Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of Man doesn't have where to lay his head.
21 And another of the disciples said to him: Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.
22 But Jesus said to him: Follow me; and let the dead to bury their own dead. (Matthew, VIII, 18-22).
49. Jesus doesn't forbid sepulchering bodies of flesh. It is a sanitary action to do it, but, the people uses to suffer the death of the body; does everything finish in the grave?! “At death the spirit gets out of slavery; at birth, he re-enters it.” (339 of SB). If the body is dead, the person goes to the beyond, the kingdom of heaven. “Death doesn't inspire any fright to the just man, because, he has the
faith
and the certainty of the future (beyond);
hope
makes him to expect a better life; and
charity
whose law he has been practised, gives him the assurance that, in the world where he will go in, he will meet no being which he fears to see.” (941 of SB). Jesus want that we be happy and preach the victory of the spirit over the death. When our body dies we have always to abandon literally each relative that remained incarnated and we don't have how to say farewell. The spirit doesn't need a material house to live: the son of man doesn't have where to lay his head.
35 At the evening of that day, he said to them: Let us go to the
beyond (future
).
36 Leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats followed them.
37 Then a great storm of wind arised, and the waves beat into the boat, such that the boat was filling of water.
38 And he was in the stern,
asleep on the pillow
; and they awoke him, and said to him: Master, don't you care that we die?
39 And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 So he said to them: Why are you fearful? How come you do not have faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another: Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? (Mark, IV, 35-41).
23 Thus when he was entered into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, such that the boat was covered with the waves. But he was asleep.
25 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying: Save, Lord! We die!
26 And he said to them: Why are you fearful, Oh! Men of few faith? Then he arose, and reprehended the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 And the men marveled, saying: What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? (Matthew, VIII, 23-27).
22 On one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said to them: Let us go to the
beyond (future
) of the lake; and they departed.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 They came to him, and awoke him, saying: Master, Master, we are dying! And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the fury of the water. They stopped, and there was a calm.
25 And he said to them: Where is your faith? They were afraid and marveled, saying one to another: Who is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him? (Luke, VIII, 22-25).
50. Jesus promised to take his disciples to the beyond (the side of there), the kingdom of the heaven, but they didn't have faith that the beyond there is. They were afraid of dying. Then Jesus called rappers or noisy spirits to help Him: “They often manifest their presence by the production of phenomena physical and perceptible by the senses such as raps, the movement and abnormal displacing of solid bodies, the agitation of the air, etc. They appear to be, more than any other class of spirits, attached to matter; they seem to be the principal agents in determining the transformations of the elements of the globe, and they agitate the air, water, fire, and the hard bodies inside the entrails of the earth. We recognize these phenomena are not appointed to a fortuitous and physical cause, when they have an intentional and intelligent character. All spirits are able to produce these phenomena; but elevated spirits usually leave them as attributions of the subaltern spirits, more able to the material things than to the intelligent things. When they judge these kind of manifestations are useful they serve themselves with the work of these spirits as auxiliaries.” (106 of SB). “God does not exercise a direct action upon matter; He has His devoted agents at every step of the ladder of worlds.” (536, b, of SB). “These who execute material things are always of an inferior order, spirit's home and men's home.” (538, a, of SB). “There is a reason for everything; nothing happens without the permission of God.” (536 of SB). “The mythology of the ancients is entirely based on spiritist ideas with this difference that they regarded spirits as divinities presently, they represented to us these gods or spirits with special attributes; therefore, some of them had charge of the winds, others of the lightning; others, again, presided over vegetation, etc. Is this belief empty of foundation? "It is so empty of foundation, this faith is however is very below the truth.” (537 of SB). “In the production of certain phenomena, of storms, for example, is it a single spirit that acts or they assemble a mass of spirits? In innumerable masses of spirits.” (539 of SB). “The spirits more underdeveloped are useful to the general assembly; while they
prepare themselves to live
, and before they have full
conscience
of their actions and free will, they act over certain phenomena whose agents they are
without they know that
; first they execute; latter, when their intelligence will be more developed, they will order and manage the things of the material world; still later, however, they will be able (will degrade) to manage the things of the moral world.
It is thus that everything incases, everything inchains inside nature, from the primitive atom to the archangel, who himself began at the atom
; an admirable law of harmony, which your limited spirit cannot, however, seize entirely.” (540 of SB). “What is spirit? The intelligent principle of the universe.” (23 of SB). “From where do the animals take the intelligent principle that constitutes the species particular of soul of which they are endowed? From the universal intelligent element.” (606 of SB). “The intelligence of man and this of the animals emanates, then, from one and the same principle? Undoubtedly; but, in man, it has received an elaboration which raises it above that which animates the brute.” (606, a, of SB). “The intelligent principle is elaborated, is gradually
individualised
, and
is prepared to live by himself
, as we have said. It is, any way, a preparatory work, like that of germination, in consequence of which the intelligent principle suffers a transformation and becomes
Spirit
. It is then that the period of humanity begins for him, with his
conscience
of his
beyond (future),
the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and the responsibility of his actions;” (607, a, of SB). The primitive worlds are “destined to the initial incarnations of the human soul” (GAS, III, 4). “"God has created simple and ignorant Spirits them all, I mean, without science.” (115 of SB). “The Spirits are the
individualisation
of the intelligent principle,” (79 of SB). “We can say that the Spirits are the intelligent beings of the creation.” (76 of SB). “The human species is that which God has chosen for the incarnation of the beings
that are able to know Him
.” (610 of SB). "Do Spirits constitute a world (sphere) apart, out of that which we see? Yes; the world (sphere) of Spirits or intelligences without body." (84 of SB).
1 But they came to the other side of the sea, to the land of the
gerasenes
.
2 And when he got out of the boat, a man with an unclean
spirit
came to meet him,
3 this man lived in the graves, and no man could arrest him nor with chains;
4 because that he had been arrested with fetters and chains, and the chains had been broken by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. And no man could subjugate him.
5 And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and hurting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him;
7 and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What do I have with you, Jesus, Son of the Highest God? I conjure you by God, for not to torment me!
8 Because he said to him: Unclean spirit! Get out of the man.
9 And he asked him: What is your name? And he said to him: My name is Legion; for we are a lot.
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away below the ground.
11 Now there was on the mount a great herd of porks.
12 And they besought him, saying: Send us to the porks, that we enter into them.
13 Jesus allowed. And the
unclean spirits
got out, and entered into the porks, and the herd ran to the precipice down into the sea, in number about two thousand; and they were drowned in the sea.
14 The feeders of the porks ran away and told it in the city, and in the countries. And the people came to see what it happened.
15 They went to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him that had the legion: and they were afraid.
16 They that saw it declared to them what happened to the possessed with demons, and concerning the porks.
17 And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders.
18 As he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him to be with Jesus.
19 But Jesus didn't allow: Go to your house to your friends, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.
20 And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marveled. (Mark, V, 1-20).
28 When he was arrived to the other side into the land of the
gadarenes
, two possessed with demons came to him from the sepulchers, so furious, that no man could pass by that way.
29 And behold, they cried out, saying: What do we have with you, oh! Son of God? Did you come here to torment us before the time?
30 Now there was afar from them a herd of many porks.
31 Then the demons besought him, saying: If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of porks.
32 He said to them: Go. And they came out, and went into the porks; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and died in the waters.
33 The feeders escaped, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what had happened to the possessed with demons.
34 Then the entire city came to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they besought him that he would get out from their borders. (Matthew, VIII, 28-34).
26 Then they arrived at the land of the
gerasenes
, frontier of Galilee.
27 When he was come to the land, a certain man out of the city met him, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and inhabited not in any house, but in the tombs.
28 And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said: What do I have with you, Jesus, Son of the Highest God? I beseech you not to torment me.
29 Because he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. Because he had controlled him many times. And he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking these all, he was driven by the demon to the deserts.
30 Jesus asked him: What is your name? He said: Legion; because many demons were entered into him.
31 They begged him that he would not command them to go to
the abyss
.
32 Now there was a herd of many porks feeding on the mount; and they begged him that he would let them enter into them. And he allowed them to.
33 The demons came out from the man, and entered into the porks; and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and was drowned.
34 The feeders saw that and ran away, and told it in the city and in the countries.
35 Then the people went out to see what happened; and they came to Jesus. In fact, they found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid.
36 And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was been saved.
37 All the people of the land of the
gerasenes
round about asked him to depart from them, because they were possessed with great fear. And he entered into a boat, and returned.
38 The man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he would be with him; but he sent him away, saying:
39 Return to your house, and declare the great things God has done for you. And he went his way, publishing through the whole city the great things Jesus had done for him. (Luke, VIII, 26-39).
51. “A Spirit does not enter into a body as you enter into a house. He likens himself to an incarnate Spirit who has the same defects and the same qualities as himself for acting together; but it is always the incarnate Spirit who acts as his want on the matter with which he is clothed. No Spirit can substitute himself in the place of the Spirit who is incarnated in a given body, for a Spirit is linked with his body until the times dated for the end of his material existence.” (473 of SB). The possession "is never done without the participation of this who suffers it
, through his weakness
or his desire." (474 of SB). Jesus talked to the Spirits again, to take them out of the obsessed to prove once again that is convenient to communicate to the impure spirits of men who were bad when they were alive. The Spirits scared the pigs, but they didn't enter inside them: “It is correct that the Spirits can become visible and touchable to the animals and, often, their sudden fright, whose cause you can't detect, is consequence of the vision of one or more Spirits, with bad intentions concerning to the persons around, or concerning to the owners of the animals.” (...) “The Mr. T..., it is said, magnetized his dog. What did he get? He killed the pet, because the unhappy animal died, after some kind of weakness (strengthless) due to its magnetization. In fact, he saturated it with a fluid obtained of an essence higher than the special essence of the nature of the dog, he crushed it, acting over the animal at the likeness of the ray, although more slowly” (Erastus, MB, 2¬ part, XXIII, 236). So, we will never encounter magnetized animals that attack men, or write with the paws or make intelligent noise under the influence of the Spirits. "'Didn't I say that to you? And you didn't do that: Didn't I show you
the abyss
? And you precipitate yourself. Didn't I make you understand inside your conscience the voice of the truth? And didn't you follow the voice of the lie?' Ah! Question you guard angels;" (Saint Louis and Saint Augustine, 495 of SB).
XX – Jesus wants mercy
20 He that will sacrifice to the gods, save to the unique Lord, will be dead. (Exodus, XXII, 20).
24 And my anger will light up, and I will kill you by the sword; and your wives will become widows, and your children fatherless. (Exodus, XXII, 24).
9 Jesus came from there and he saw a man, called
Matthew
, sitting at the
tax bureau
and he said to him: Follow me! And he arose, and followed him.
10 Then he sat at the table in the house, and many
publicans
and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11 And when the pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples: Why does your Master eat with publicans and sinners?
12 But when he heard it, he said: The wholesome ones do not need of physician, but they that are sick does.
13 Go and learn what this means:
I want mercy, and not sacrifice
, for I did not come to call the just men to the regret, but the sinners. (Matthew, IX, 9-13).
13 He went to the sea side again; and all the multitude followed him, and he taught them.
14 when he was passing by, he saw
Levi the son of Alphaeus
sitting at the
tax office
, and he said to him: Follow me! And he arose and followed him.
15 He was sitting at the table in Levi's house, and many
publicans
and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples; because those were many and they followed him too.
16 And the scribes of the pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said to his disciples: How come does he eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
17 When Jesus heard it, he said to them: They that are wholesome does not need of physician, but they that are sick does. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. (Mark, II, 13-17).
27 After these things he went out, and beheld a
publican, named Levi
, sitting at the
place of toll
, and said to him: Follow me!
28 He stood up and leaving everything followed him.
29 Then Levi made him a great banquet in his house; and there was a great multitude of publicans and others sitting at the table with them.
30 The pharisees and their scribes whispered against his disciples, saying: Why do you eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?
31 Jesus answered them: The health ones do not need of physician; but the sick ones do.
32 I did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. (Luke, V, 27-32).
52. Jesus has no prejudice. He interlaces himself to the sinners, because these need more help than the just ones. He comes to cure and he doesn't ask us for sacrifices. The causes of our sickness are our sins. He wants mercy, love, pardon. Let us live our life in the best way it is possible without ill-uses. He doesn't want sacrifices of animals (holocausts) or ours. He doesn't expect that we torture ourselves in a cross. Let us make the good to ourselves and let us be optimistic. We must not to be sadistic, or masochistic. Jesus doesn't want that we look for suffering. We must to seek happiness. “Because God gave you intelligence and knowledge to share them with your brothers for advance on the life of eternal welfare and happiness.” (Saint Louis and Saint Augustine, 495 of SB). “It is convenient, by other manner, to open the door of sorrow to the criminal, and not to close it to him.” (761 of SB). “God has made man for living in society.” (766 of SB). “Man must progress; alone, he cannot, because, as he does not have all faculties, it is convenient to contact to other men. In isolation he becomes brutish and wilted.” (768 of SB). “God takes care Himself of all beings He has created, the most little they are; nothing is too much few for His kindness.” (963 of SB).
XXI – Jesus and the magnetic passe
21 When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
22 One of the rulers of the synagogue came, his name: Jairus; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
23 and begged to him much, saying: My little daughter is at the point of death. I pray you, come and
set your hands above her
, that she may be saved, and she will live.
24 He went with him. Great multitude followed him, and they compressed him.
25 And a woman, who had an hemorrhage for twelve years,
26 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, without getting better, but got worse,
27 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came inside the multitude after him, and touched his clothes.
28 Because she said: If I touch but his clothes, I will be made healthy.
29 And immediately the source of her blood was stanched; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.
30 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had flowed out, turned him about in the multitude, and said: Who did touch my clothes?
31 His disciples said to him: You see the multitude compressing you, and do you say: Who did touch me?
32 He looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 He said to her: Daughter, your faith had cured you; go in peace, and be far from the evil.
35 While he yet spoke, some of the ruler of the synagogue's house arrived saying: Your daughter is dead; why do you still trouble the Master?
36 But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue: Don't fear, only believe.
37 But he didn't allow any man to follow him, save Peter, and the brothers James and John.
38 They arrived to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholds a tumult, and many weeping and wailing greatly.
39 When he was entered in, he said to them: Why do you make a tumult, and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeps.
40 They laughed him away. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 Taking the child by the hand, he said to her: Talitha cumi! Which is, being interpreted: Girl, I order you, stand up!
42 Immediately the girl stood up, and walked; because she was twelve years old. And they were quite amazed.
43 But he ordered meaningful that no man could know this; and he commanded them to feed the girl. (Mark, V, 21-43).
40 As Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; because they were all waiting for him.
41 Behold came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue, and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and implored him to come into his house.
42 For he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes compressed him.
43 A woman having an hemorrhage for twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed by any,
came behind him, and touched the border of his clothes, and immediately the hemorrhage stopped.
45 But Jesus said: Who did touch me? As all denied, Peter and they that were with him said: Master, the multitudes crush you and you say: who did touch me?
46 But Jesus said: Someone did touch me; for I perceived that power had flowed from me.
47 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 He said to her: Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace.
49 While he spoke yet, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying: Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Master anymore.
50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him: Do not fear; only believe, and she will be saved.
51 When he came to the house, he forbade any man to enter in with him, save Peter, John, James and the parents of the girl.
52 All were weeping, and bewailing her. But he said: Don't weep; she is not dead, but sleeps.
53 They laughed him a lot, knowing that she was dead.
54 But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying: Girl, stand up!
55 Her spirit returned, and she stood up immediately; and he commanded to feed her.
56 Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them to tell no man what had been done. (Luke, VIII, 40-56).
18 While he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came, and worshipped him, saying: My daughter died now; but come and
put your hand over her
, and she will live.
19 Jesus stood up, and followed him, and did also his disciples.
20 Behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his clothes;
21 for she said within herself: If I do touch his clothes, I will be cured.
22 But Jesus turned and saw her and said:
Daughter, you have good soul; your faith has saved you
. And the woman was made whole from that instant.
23 When Jesus came into the ruler's house, he saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult.
24 He said: Give up, because the girl is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed him away.
25 But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the girl stood up.
26 And the fame of this happening ran all that land. (Matthew, IX, 18-26).
53. The woman who had hemorrhage got cured not only because she received the nervous fluid of Jesus, but also because she had a good soul and the faith that she would be healed. “The magnetic power dwells, without doubt, inside man, but it is increased by the action of the Spirits who he calls to aid him. If you magnetize with the aim of healing, for example, and you invoke a good Spirit who has affection for you and for your patient, he raises your power and your will, he drives your fluid and give to it the essential qualities.” (MB, 2
ND
part, XIV, 176, 2
ND
). Thus the best magnetizer acts as medium. “Would the owner of magnetic power act with more efficacy if he believed in the intervention of the Spirits? He would do things you would call miracle.” (MB, 2
ND
part, XIV, 176, 4
TH
). “This genus of mediumistic quality consists, mainly, in the gift that certain persons have to cure by the simple touch, by the regard, or by a gesture, without help of any medicine. It will be said, without doubt, that it isn't more than magnetism. Evidently, the magnetic fluid plays an important part.” (MB, 2
ND
part, XIV, 175). The girl wasn't dead. She was in lethargy. “In lethargy, the body is not dead, because there are functions that are accomplished.” (423 of SB). Jesus used his thought to apply a passe in the girl to make her awake of the lethargy. I really believe that the magnetic passe can function as the medical device of electric shock (defibrillation device) that makes the heart resuscitate (beat). The self-passe more used and more known is the sign of the cross: “God, our Lord, release us of our enemies by the sign of the Holy Cross”.
27 Jesus got out from there. Two blind men followed him, crying out: Have mercy on us, son of David!
28 When he was come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them: Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to him: Yes, Lord!
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying: According to your faith be it done to you.
30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus advised them severely, saying: Assure that no man knows it.
31 But they went out, and divulged his fame in all that land.
32 As they went out, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.
33 When the demon was cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitudes marveled, saying: It was never been seen in Israel!
34 But the pharisees said: He casts demons out by the prince of the demons.
35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. (Matthew, IX, 27-35).
22 Then was brought to him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb; and he healed him, such that the dumb man spoke and saw.
23 And all the multitudes were amazed, and said: Can this be the son of David?
24 But when the pharisees heard it, they whispered: This man does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
25 And knowing their thoughts he said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26 If Satan casts Satan out, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?
27 But if I cast demons out by Beelzebub, by who do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
28 But if I cast demons out by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come to you.
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and rob his goods, except if he first ties his hands? And then he will sack his house.
30 The one who is not for me is against me; and the one who doesn't unite to me, scatters.
31 Therefore I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
32 And whoever will speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven to him; but whoever will speak against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven to him, neither in this world, nor in the beyond (future). (Matthew, XII, 22-32).
20 Then he went home. But the multitude came together again, so they could not even eat.
21 And when his relatives heard it, they went out to arrest him, because they said: He is out of his mind.
22 The scribes that came down from Jerusalem said: He has Beelzebub. And, he casts the demons out by the prince of the demons.
23 He called them to him, and said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
26 If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has to end.
27 None can enter into the house of the valiant man to rob his goods, except he first tie his hands; and then he will spoil his house.
28 Truly I say to you: All their sins will be forgiven to the
sons of men
, and their sins and the blaspheme they will say.
29 But whoever will blaspheme against the Holy Spirit has never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin.
30 Because they said: He has an unclean spirit. (Mark, III, 20-30).
14 And he was casting out a demon that was dumb. When the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
15 But some of them said: He casts demons out by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
16 And others, trying him, asked of him a sign from heaven.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself will be on desolation; and a house divided against a house will fall down.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say that I cast demons out by Beelzebub.
19 If I cast demons out by Beelzebub, by who do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 But if I cast demons out by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God is come to you.
21 When the valiant man fully armed guards his own house, his goods are in peace.
22 But when a stronger than he will come over him, and defeats him, he takes from him his whole armor in what he trusted, and divides his spoils.
23 He that is not with me is against me; and he that doesn't unite to me scatters. (Luke, XI, 14-23).
10 Whoever speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven by him. But he that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit he will not be forgiven. (Luke, XII, 10).
54. Jesus cured the blind men through his magnetism, but the dumb was cured because of the expelling of the obsessing Spirit, which was dumb and was transmitting his sickness to the medium. Jesus ordered the blind men not to publish the good He has done. “Did the handicaps (that we tried to bring to the freedom of the manifestations) decompose them and suffocate? No; because it would produce the effect of all persecutions: that of exciting curiosity, and the desire to know this what will be defended.” (Allan Kardec, VI of the conclusion of SB). But the blind ones published and provoked the envy of the pharisees who didn't know to heal. Many times it happens in the Spiritist Associations. People of different religions say that the spiritists cure and talk to the obsessing Spirits as work of the devil. Thus, does the devil do the good? Many times, during the expelling of the obsessing spirits, the bad and valiant Spirit is taken with his tied hands by devils and against his will to the Spiritist Association to be indoctrinated. It is enough to have faith in the Spirits who are responsible by the fluidic protection of the ambient resources (goblins), that they will do this work. “To this class belongs the spirits vulgarly called by the names of hobgoblin, bogyman, gnome, fairy, elf. They are under dependence of high spirits, who often employ them as we make to our servants. In their communications with men their language is often something spiritual and funny, but almost always superficial.” (103 of SB). Careful! Sons of the men, do not blaspheme against Jesus, Holy Spirit.
11 In the next day he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
12 Now when he arrives near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and much people of the city was with her.
13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her: Do not weep!
14 He came and touched the casket and stopping the porters he said: Young man, I order you: stand up!
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16 They became fearful and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is arisen among us; and, God has visited his people.
17 These news about him was divulged in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about. (Luke, VII, 11-17).
XXII – Jesus and the saturday
9 Six days you will work, and you will do all your actions.
10 But the seventh day is the saturday of the Lord, your God; in it you will not do any work, nor your son, nor your daughter, your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your animal, nor your foreigner who is inside your doors.
11 Because the Lord made heaven and earth in six days: the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; thus the Lord blessed the saturday, and hallowed it. (Exodus, XX, 9-11).
12 Observe the saturday, to keep it holy, as the Lord, your God, commanded.
13 Six days you will work, and you will do all your work.
14 But the seventh day is a Saturday to the Lord, your God; in it you will not do any work, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any animal of yours, nor your foreigner who is in your doors; that your servant rests as you.
15 You will remember that you was a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; thus the Lord, your God, commanded you to keep the Saturday. (Deuteronomy, V, 12-15).
2 David said to Ahimelech, the priest: The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me: Let no man know anything of the business about I send you, and what I have commanded you; and I dated to meet the young men to such and such a place.
3 Now what do you have under your hand? Give me five breads or whatever there is present.
4 And the priest answered David, and said: There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.
5 And David answered the priest, and said to him: Yes, as always, when I came out, women have been kept from us about these three days, the bodies of the young men are holy. Though it was but a common journey; how much will their bodies be holy more than today?
6 So the priest gave him holy bread; because there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away. (I Samuel, XXI, 2-6).
32 And some of their brothers, of the sons of the Kohathites, had the work of preparing the showbread every saturday. (I Chronicles, IX, 32).
33 for the showbread, and for the continual meal-offering, and for the continual
sacrifices
for the saturdays, for the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin-offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God. (Nehemiah, X, 33).
1 At that season Jesus went on the saturday through the grainfields. His disciples were hungry and began to pick spikes and to eat.
2 But the pharisees, when they saw it, said to him: Behold, your disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the saturday.
3 But he said to them: Don't you read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him?
4 How he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Or didn't you read in the law, that on the saturday the priests in the temple violate the saturday, and are guiltless?
6 But I say to you: Here is the one who is greater than the temple.
7 But if you had known what this means: I want mercy and
not sacrifices
; you wouldn't have condemned the innocent.
8 Because the Son of man is the Lord of the Saturday. (Matthew, XII, 1-8).
23 He was going on the saturday through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the spikes.
24 The pharisees advised him: Behold, why do they that which is not lawful on the saturday?
25 And he said to them: Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him?
26 How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?
27 And he said to them: The Saturday was made for man, and not man for the saturday;
28 so the Son of man is Lord even of the saturday. (Mark, II, 23-28).
1 It happened on a Saturday: he was going through the grainfields; and his disciples plucked the ears, and ate, threshing them in their hands.
2 But certain of the pharisees said: Why do you do what is not lawful on the saturday?
3 Jesus answering them: Haven't you read what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him?
4 How he entered in the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?
5 He said to them: The Son of man is Lord of the Saturday. (Luke, VI, 1-5).
55. “What is the limit of the work? The limit of strength; besides, God sets the man free.” (683 of SB). “Rest serves to restore the bodily powers and is also necessary in order to give fewer freedom to the intelligence for standing up over the matter.” (682 of SB). The spiritist doctrine doesn't fix day, neither hour to work or to rest, but both must there be. “What is to be thought of those who misuse their authority for imposing excess of work to their inferiors? That is one of the worst crimes. Every man that has the might of commanding is responsible for the excess of work which he imposes to his inferiors, for he transgresses the law of God.” (684 of SB). “Has the man the right to repose in old age? Yes; he is obliged only according to his strength.” (685 of SB). “But what resource has the elder who needs to work to live, but who can't anymore? The strong must to work to the weak; in the lack of the family, the society must replace it. It is the law of charity.” (685, a, of SB). “The social insurance will be paid by the whole society,” (article 195,
caput
, of the Brazilian Federal Constitution). “The social welfare will be organized in the form of general regime, with contributive character and obligatory affiliation,” (article 201,
caput
, of the Brazilian Federal Constitution). Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar (Matthew, XXII, 21). "Alimony are a obligation when the relative, which intend it, has no assets, neither can provide, by his work, his own maintenance, and the person, whom he complain, can supply it, without defalcation of the necessary to his own maintenance." (article 399 of the Brazilian Civil Code). "The social assistance will be paid to whom needs it,
independently of contribution to the public social insurance
, and it has for aims: (...) V – the guaranty of a minimum wage of monthly benefit to the person carrying a deficiency and to the elderly ones who prove they don't have means to provide their own maintenance or been provided by his family, according to the dispositions of the law." (article 203,
caput
and item V, of the Brazilian Federal Constitution). This benefit (to residents in Brazil) must be requested by the elder who doesn't have retirement, neither family to support him or by the physical or mental deficient one (carrying especial needs) to the Brazilian National Institute of Social Insurance.
1 He entered again in the synagogue; and there was a man there who had his hand withered.
2 They watched him, whether he would heal him on the saturday; that they would accuse him.
3 He said to the man that had his hand withered: Come to the middle!
4 He said to them: Is it lawful to do good, or to do harm on the saturday? Save a life, or to kill? But they shut up.
5 When he had looked round about on their anger, being resented by the hard of their hearts, he said to the man: Open your hand. He opened his hand. The hand was restored.
6 The pharisees went out, and they were plotting with the herodians against him,
how they would kill him
.
7 Jesus with his disciples went to the sea. A great multitude from Galilee followed; and from Judaea,
8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and beyond the Jordan, and about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, knowing what great things he did, they came to him.
9 He spoke to his disciples, that a little boat would wait for him because of the crowd, to avoid they would compress him.
10 Because he had healed many; such that as they had sickness they ventured to touch him.
11 Even the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying: You are the Son of God!
12 But Jesus advised severely not to publish him. (Mark, III, 1-12).
9 He departed from there, and went into their synagogue:
10 there was a man having a withered hand. They asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the saturday? So they could accuse him.
11 And he said to them: Which man among of you, that having one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the saturday, will you not endeavor to set it out from there?
12 How much does a man value more than a sheep!? So it is lawful to do good on the saturday.
13 Then he said to the man: Open your hand. And he opened it; and it was restored whole, as the other.
14 But the pharisees went out, and plotted against him, how they would destroy him.
15 Jesus perceiving it get out from there. Many followed him; and he healed them all,
16 but he advised them that they couldn't comment what he had done;
17 in order to fulfill which was spoken through
Isaiah
the prophet:
18 Behold
, my servant whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit over him, and he will declare judgment to the foreigners
.
19 He
will not contend, nor cry aloud; neither any one will hear his voice on the public squares
.
20 He
will not smash the broken cane. He will not extinguish the smoking wick, till he will become the judgment a winner
.
21 And
in his name the foreigners will hope
. (Matthew, XII, 9-21).
1 Behold, my servant, whom I support; my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit over him; he will bring justice to the foreigners.
2 He will not cry, nor cry his voice, nor he will be heard in the public square.
3 He will not squash the broken reed; he will not quench the burning wick; he will promulgate the law.
4 He will be discouraged or break, till he has set justice in the earth; and the islands will wait for his law. (Isaiah, XLII, 1-4).
6 It happened on another saturday, that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
7 The scribes and the pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the saturday; that they would find how to accuse him.
8 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered: Stand up and come to the middle. And he arose and stood up.
9 Jesus said to them: I ask you: Is it lawful to do good, or to do harm on the saturday? To save a life, or to destroy it?
10 He looked round about on them all, and said to him: Open your hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored.
11 But they were filled with madness; and discussed one with another what they would do to Jesus. (Luke, VI, 6-11).
56. Jesus used his magnetism to cure in a saturday and then the pharisees wanted to kill him, because he had violated the saturday. Jesus had offended the third commandment of the law of Moses and the punishment was the death! Jesus still interdicted them to publish or comment His works, because it was written that He would do that. We must never publish the good we do: “It is convenient to do the good for charity, it means, disinterestedly.” (897 of SB). The law of Moses was reasonably correct. Many people doesn't use do do the good in the day of the weekly rest. They don't follow the example of Jesus who in any moment does only what is good. When they they are unoccupied they seek the evil to do. They fall in the dissolute life, abuse of the alcoholic beverage, of the musics, of the narcotics; they spend nights without sleeping and practice all the vices. Thus they got sick and after a long time they suffer painful deaths. So the Decalogue is correct. It is not necessary to kill the one who violates the Decalogue, for the one who violates the Decalogue surely practices suicide.
10 He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the saturday.
11 Came a woman that had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; and she walked curved, and she could no wise straighten herself.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her: Woman, you are free of your infirmity.
13 And he set his hands over her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 The ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the saturday said to the multitude: There are six days in which men must work; come in them and be healed, and not on the day of the saturday.
15 But the Lord said: Hypocrites, doesn't each one of you loose your ox or your donkey from the trough on the saturday, and lead it to drink water?
16 Why wouldn't I loose of the slavery of Satan on the day of the saturday, this daughter of Abraham, who was arrested for eighteen years?
17 When he said these words: All his adversaries were ashamed. But the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. (Luke, XIII, 10-17).
1 After these things there was a feast of the jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Door a pool, which is called in hebrew: Bethesda, having five pavilions.
3 In these there was a multitude of them that were sick, blind, lame, paralytic
4 expecting that the water moved. Because an angel descended in certain time, shaking the water; and the first one that entered into the pool after the shaking, was cured of any sickness.
5 There was a man, who had been sick for eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said to him: Do you want to be cured?
7 The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is shaken, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another comes in before me.
8 Jesus said to him: Stand up, take your bed, and walk.
9 Straightway the man was healed, and took his bed and walked. Now it was the saturday that day.
10 So the jews said to him that was cured: It is the saturday, and it is not lawful for you to take your bed.
11 But he answered them: The same that cured me said: Take your bed, and walk.
12 They asked him: Who is the man that said to you: Take up your bed, and walk?
13 But he that was healed didn't know who it was; because Jesus had gotten out for there was a multitude in the place.
14 Latter Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him:
You are cured: don't sin anymore, for that something worse does not happen to you.
15 The man went away, and told the jews that he was Jesus who had cured him.
16 then the jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the saturday.
17 But Jesus answered them:
My Father works until now, and I work too
.
18 For this cause, so, the jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the saturday, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God. (John, V, 1-18).
1 When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the pharisees on a saturday to eat bread, and they were watching him.
2 There was before him a certain man that had the dropsy (he accumulated a liquid like serum in some hollows).
3 Then Jesus answering to the interpreters of the law and pharisees said: Is it lawful to heal on the saturday, or not?
4 But they said nothing. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.
5 then he said to them: Which of you having a son or an ox, if he fall down into a well, will you take him out immediately on a saturday?
6 They could not answer again to these things. (Luke, XIV, 1-6).
XXIII – Jesus declares Himself Son of God and equal to God
17 But Jesus answered them: My Father work until now, and I work too.
18 For this cause, so, the jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the saturday, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
19 Then Jesus said to them: Truly, truly I say to you that the Son can't do anything by himself, but he does only what he sees the Father doing; because everything this does, the Son will do similarly.
20 Because the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does; and greater works than these he will show him, that you will marvel.
21 For as the Father resuscitates the deads and gives them life, in the same way the Son also give life to whom he want.
22 And the Father doesn't judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son;
23 in order to all will honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that doesn't honor the Son, he doesn't honor the Father that sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you: He that hears my word, and believes in him that sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
25 Truly, truly, I say to you: The hour comes, and is now, when the deads will listen to the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear will live.
26 Because as the Father is alive himself, he also allowed the Son to be alived himself.
27 And he gave him authority to judge, because he is a Son of Man.
28 Do not marvel about this; because the hour comes, in which all that are in the graves will hear his voice, and they will come out:
29 they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
30 I can do nothing by myself; as I hear, I judge. And my judgment is just; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
31 If I witness about myself, my witness is not true.
32 It is another that witnesses about me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses about me is true.
33 You have sent messengers to John, and he has witnessed the truth.
34 But my witness is not this man: but I say these things, for you will be saved.
35 He was the lamp that burned and shone; and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36 But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; because the works which the Father has given me to accomplish, these works that I do witnesses about me, that the Father has sent me.
37 The Father who sent me, he has witnessed about me. You have never heard his voice, nor seen his form.
38 And you have not his word inside you; because you don't believe in him whom he sent.
39 Research the scriptures, because you judge that in them you have eternal life; but these are they, which witness about me.
40 However you don't want to come to me to have life.
41 I am not glorified by the men.
42 But I know that you don't have the love for God in yourselves.
43 I came in the name of my Father, and you don't receive me; but if another will come in his own name, you will receive him.
44 You receive glory one from another, how come you do believe one in another, but don't you seek the glory from the unique God?
45 Don't think that I will accuse you before the Father; there is one that accuses you: Moses, in whom you have set your trust.
46 Because if you believed in Moses, you would believe on me; because he wrote about me.
47 But if you don't believe in his writings, how will you believe in my words? (John, V, 17-47).
57. Jesus declares that the Father has life because the Father is another pure Spirit like Him, the Father is alive! Perhaps He is the angel Gabriel, who has announced Him to Mary. God is an alive God, because he has life as we have life. We are sons of the man and sons of God. Each one of us will enter to the to the divine unity, becoming Holy Spirits. "Consequently the love among men recommended by Christ will be increased between them. They will thus have obeyed the law of love and union imposed on all the beings of the universe; the Divine Law must drive to the unity (union): the aim and end of the Spirit." (665 of SB). “God is unique. If there were several Gods, there wouldn't be unity of sight nor unity of might in the holy orders of the universe.” (Allan Kardec, 13 of SB). "Where do we see inside the primary cause a Supreme Intelligence and higher than all other intelligences? You have a proverb, which says this: 'By the work we recognize the worker.' Oh! Well! Regard the work and seek the worker." (9 of SB).
XXIV – The mission of the apostles
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were afflicted and exhausted, as sheep without shepherd.
37 Then he said to his disciples: The grainfield is abundant in truth, but the workers are few.
38 Pray, so, the Lord of the harvest, that he send workers to his crop.
1 And he called to him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to expel them, and to heal all kind of disease and sickness.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew (or Levi – the author) the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (or Jude – the author);
4 Simon the Cananaean (the Zealot), and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.
5 Jesus sent these twelve, and taught them: Don't go to the foreigners, and do not enter into cities of the samaritans;
6 but preferably go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as you go, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is arrived.
8 Heal the sick, resuscitate the dead, purify the lepers, cast out demons;
you received gratuitously, you give gratuitously
. (Matthew, IX, 35 to X, 8).
7 And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits. (Mark, VI, 7).
13 Then he went up to the mount, and called to him who he himself wanted; and they came to him.
14 He named twelve to be with him, and to send them to preach,
15 and to have authority to cast out demons.
16 They were: Simon to whom he added Peter (means stone);
17 and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; to these he added Boanerges, which means: sons of thunder;
18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew (or Levi), and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (or Jude), and Simon the Cananaean (the Zealot),
19 and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him. (Mark, III, 13-19).
12 In these days, he went out to the mount to pray; and he passed all night praying to God.
13 And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose twelve among them, whom he also named apostles:
14 Simon, whom he also named Peter (means stone), and Andrew his brother; and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
15 and Matthew (or Levi) and Thomas; and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot (the Cananaean),
16 and Judas the son of James (
brother
of James – Jude, I, 1 – or Thaddaeus), and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. (Luke, VI, 12-16).
1 After these things
the Lord named seventy others
; and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, where he himself was about to come.
2 And he said to them: The harvest is really plenteous, but the workers are few. Pray, so, to the Lord of the grainfield that he sends workers to his crop. (Luke, X, 1-2).
16 He that listen to you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me.
17 then the
seventy returned
with joy, saying: Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!
18 But he said to them: I saw Satan falling as lightning from heaven.
19 Behold, I have given you authority to step on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will in any wise hurt you.
20 Nevertheless don't rejoice cause the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. (Luke, X, 16-20).
58. Jesus asked his eighty-two disciples to cure and to expel obsessive spirits gratuitously. There are religious ones of other cults who collect the tithe just after the exorcism. The spiritist must not to charge his mediumistic quality. Behold Francisco Cândido Xavier has never spent for himself neither a cent of the copyright of the books he has psychographed. Bezerra de Menezes, brazilian federal deputy, president of the Brazilian Spiritist Federation, doesn't charge the paupers while he was practicing medicine and he often used to give medicines to them. Probably Jesus chose his apostles because he judged they were able to preach the gospel, heal sickness and cast demons out gratuitously. “Now what they had received gratuitously was the faculty of healing those who were sick, and that of expelling devils, that is to say bad spirits.” (Allan Kardec, GAS, XXVI, 2).
9 Do not carry gold, nor silver, nor brass in your belts;
10 neither saddlebag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor crook; because
the worker is worthy of his food
.
11
And in any city or village you will enter, question who is worthy in it; and there you will lodge till you go away
.
12 While you enter into the house, salute it;
13 if the house is worthy, let your peace come over it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace be back to you.
14
If someone doesn't lodge you
, neither listen to your words, while you go out of that house or that city,
shake out the dust of your feet
.
15 Truly I say to you, it will there be less severity for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
16 Behold, I send you as sheep in the middle of wolves; be, so,
judicious as snakes
, and innocent as pigeons.
23 When they persecute you in this city, run away to the next; because truly I say to you that you will not go through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
38 And he that does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that loves his life will lose it; and he that loses his life for my cause will find it.
40 He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.
41 He that receives a
prophet
in the name of a
prophet
will receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a
just man
in the
character
of a
just man
will receive a just man's reward.
42 And whoever will give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only,
because he is my disciple
, truly I say to you he will not lose his reward absolutely. (Matthew, X, 9-16, 23 e 38-42).
1 He called the twelve together, and gave them might and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2 He sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 He said to them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor knapsack, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.
4
Whatever house you enter, there you will lodge and from there you will go away
.
5
Wherever they don't lodge you
, when you go out from that city,
shake out the dust of your feet for a witness against them
.
6 They departed, and went through all the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere. (Luke, IX, 1-6).
3 Take your way! Behold, I send you as lambs in the middle of wolves.
4 Don't carry handbag, or saddlebag, or sandals; and don't salute any man on the way.
5 While you go inside any house you will say first: Peace for this house!
6 If a son of peace there is, your peace will rest over him; but if not, your peace will turn to you again.
7 And
in that same house you will remain lodged, eating and drinking such things as they have
;
because the worker is worthy of his salary
. Don't go from house to house.
8
Whatever city you enter, and they lodge you, eat such things as they set before you
.
9 Heal the sick that there is, and say to them: The kingdom of God is coming to you.
10 But whatever city you will enter, and they don't lodge you, go out to the streets and say:
11 Even the dust of your city that glued to our feet, we shake out against you. Nevertheless, know this that the kingdom of God is coming.
12 I say to you, it will be less severity in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13 Ouch! Of you Chorazin! Ouch! Of you Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, these would have regretted long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it will there be more less severity for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.
15 And you, Capernaum, you will be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to
Hades
. (the hell in greek; read "The Odyssey" of the greek Homero).
16 He that listen to you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me.
17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying: Lord, even the demons are subject to us by your name!
18 But he said to them: I saw Satan falling as lightning from heaven.
19 Behold, I have given you authority to step on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will any way hurt you.
20 Nevertheless, don't rejoice because the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice because your names are written in heaven. (Luke, X, 3-20).
8 He ordered them that they would take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no bread, no bag, no money in their handbag;
9 but to go wearing sandals and not to put two coats on.
10 He advised them:
Whenever you enter into a house, there you will lodge till you depart from there
.
11 Wherever
they don't lodge you
, nor listen to you, as you go out from there,
shake out the dust that is under your feet
for a witness against them.
12 Then they went out, and preached that people would regret.
13 They cast out many demons, and healed the sick ones
anointing
them with oil. (Mark, VI, 8-13).
20 Then he began to rebuke the cities where the most of his mighty works were done, because they didn't sorrow.
21 Ouch! Of you Chorazin! Ouch! Of you Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon these would have regretted long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say to you, it will be less severity for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
23 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to
Hades
(the hell in greek, read "The Odyssey" of the greek Homero); because if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Sodom this would have remained until this day.
24 But I say to you that it will be less severity for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you. (Matthew, XI, 20-24).
59. Jesus ask the disciples not to carry money, because if they do that, they will spend the money and they will attract the envy of others who will beg alms or your things or they will rob you. If you dress luxuriously, you will attract greedy ones, which will also rob you. The mediumistic quality is a gratuitous gift of God and, therefore, must be given gratuitously. Are you physician? Do you cure the sick ones? Do you expel the obsessive spirits? Do you know to preach judiciously the Gospel? Do you have ostensive mediumistic quality? Are you disciples, apostles, prophets of Jesus with righteous character and wisdom? The work dignifies the man. The work done in the name of Jesus is always worthy. Jesus ordered the disciples to visit the worthy persons not the richest ones, because those would lodge well. Unworthy persons wouldn't lodge them. Besides, it is necessary to be worthy to be cured. It is necessary to have a good soul. The one who is not sorrow of his sins, perfecting himself, is not healed. The disciples of Jesus must never oblige anyone to lodge them. If someone don't want to lodge them, they must his back to him, shake the dust of the feet and go away. The disciples must be judicious like snakes, which crawl themselves in the ground: these can't fall down from the up of their pride. The disciple must be modest and innocent as pigeons, which eat the cereal, which is given to them. To take the cross is not to suffer; it is to preach the Gospel, to do exorcisms and cures. It is to follow the Way of Jesus. Everyone who has his body dead for the cause of Jesus will find merit as Spirit. Everyone who lodges a disciple of Jesus will have his worthiness.
17 Careful! About the men; because they will deliver you to the courts, and they will whip you in theirs synagogues;
18 you will be brought before governors and kings because of my cause, to be witnesses to them and to the foreigners.
19 But when they deliver you, do not be anxious how or what you will speak, because it will be dictated to you in that hour what you will speak.
20 Because it is not you that speak, but
the Spirit of your Father that speaks in you
.
22 And you will be hated by all men because of my name; but he that perseveres until the end, the same will be saved.
23 When they persecute you in a city, run away to the next; because truly I say to you that you will not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple is not above his Master, nor a servant above his Lord.
25 It is enough to the disciple that he is equal to his Master, and the servant equal to his Lord. If they have persecuted the Master of the house naming him Beelzebub, what will they do to his household!
32 Therefore, whoever will confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
33 But whoever will deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew, X, 17-20, 22-25, 32-33).
8 I also say to you: Every one who will confess me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of God;
9 but he that denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
10 Every one who will speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven by him; but he that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven.
11 While they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, don't be worried about how or what you will answer, or what you will say.
12
Because the Holy Spirit will teach you in that exact hour what you must say
. (Luke, XII, 8-12).
60. What Jesus predicted was right. The apostle Paul reached the Caesar of the Roman Empire because he preached the Christ. When we are delivered to the justice, we must not to deal with the lawyers what we must say. We must say mediumisticaly what will be dictated by the Spirits. Everyone who defends the Christ is hated, because the disciples of Jesus are against selfishness, pride, acquisitiveness, the seven capital sins, etc. We are all equal before the law. The servant or the disciple is not greater, neither lesser than his Master or Lord. We must endeavor to be equal to the Lord. If Jesus was persecuted and crucified, why will they not do the same to his disciples? Everyone who confesses to be disciple of the Christ will be worthy in the sphere of the Spirits. Certainly the spiritists will be called followers of Beelzebub continually because they doctrine the bad spirits.
21 And the brother will deliver his brother to death, and the father his child; and the children will rebel against their parents, and they will kill them.
34 Don't think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I didn't come to bring the peace, but the sword.
35 For I came to set discussion between the man against his father; and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 So, the enemies of the man will be their familiars.
37 He that loves his father or his mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loves his son or his daughter more than me is not worthy of me. (Matthew, X, 21, 34-37).
49 I came to cast fire on the earth; and what do I want more, if it is already inflamed?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how I anguish myself till it is accomplished!
51 Do you think that I came to give peace to earth? I tell you: No; but division.
52 Because, from now on there will be five divided in one house: three against two, and two against three.
53 They will be divided: father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law. (Luke, XII, 49-53).
61. “The succession of the corporal existences established among spirits has links which are armed in your preceding existences;” (204 of SB). Many times Jesus sets in the same family of flesh the enemies of past lives, in order to they learn to love each other. “Do not despise the opinion of your enemies, for they have no interest in dissimulating the truth, and God often places them beside you as a mirror, to warn you more frankly than it would be done by a friend.” (Saint Augustine, 919 of SB). “Why are there mothers who hate their children and this often since their birth? It is sometimes a proof chosen by the Spirit of the child, or a expiation, if he was himself a bad father or a bad mother, or bad son, in other existence.” (891 of SB). Our genetic familiars of today can be our enemies of the past. We must love the neighbor and who are nearer than our familiars? “They can turn the Spirit of the child (which they made to be born and which is confided in them). It is their duty. The bad children are a proof for the parents.” (210 of SB). “To the eyes of certain persons, it seems that the doctrine of reincarnation destroys the links of family, making them
arm
until the
beyond
of the present existence. It extends them, but it doesn't destroy them. The relationship been founded
in acid preceding affections
becomes the links which unites the members of the same family less precarious. It increases the duties of fraternity,” (205 of SB). “It is not a rule that twins are sympathetic spirits. Bad spirits can want to fight together over the theater of the life.” (213 of SB). “Those of the same order meet themselves by a kind of rapport, and form groups or families of spirits united by sympathy and the goal they objectify: the good for the desire of doing the good, the bad for the desire to do the evil, the shame of their sins, and the necessity of to be among those who are alike them.” (278 of SB). There are entire nations of warlike people, which attract themselves by the desire of practicing the revenge together. “What is the future destiny of the souls who animate these races? They will arrive to the perfection like all others by passing through other existences. God doesn't disinherit none.” (787, a, of SB). “But the regions inhabited by the good are interdict to the imperfect spirits, in order those can't bring to there the trouble of the bad passions.” (279 of SB). Many times the displeasures that the sons cause to the parents “are often the sequence of bad habits that they allowed their children to seize since the cradle; they harvest so theses that they had been sowing.” (892 of SB). “That who is maculate remains in isolation, or is surrounded by spirits similar to him: it is a punishment.” (289 of SB). “The endeavors (
sic
ellorts) that
we made
to civilize (
sic
ciuilize) a people
have the power (
sic
pouer), not to turn imperfect souls better, but to make to
create
by God the souls more perfect
.” (Allan Kardec, 789 of SB). “From the discord are born all the harms of the human beings; from the harmony results the complete happiness.” (298 of SB). “God sets the child under the tutelage of his parents, for that these drive that in the way of the good; and He facilitated their task by giving to the child a fragile and delicate organization, that turns him accessible to all kind of impressions. But they must not to occupy more in straighten the trees of their gardens, and to make them produce a lot of good fruits, but they must to straighten the character of their children.” (582 of SB). “Social links are necessary to the progress and the familiar links straiten the social links. There it is! The cause why the familiar links are a law of nature. God has wanted that men learned this way to love themselves as the brothers.” (774 of SB). “Which would be the result of the loosening of the familiar links for the society? An increase of the selfishness.” (775 of SB). “Nature gave to the mother the love of her children in the interest of their conservation. But in the house of the animals this love is limited to the material necessities; it ceases when these cares are become useless. In the house of the man, it persists all the life, and compose a devotion and abnegation which are a virtue; it does survive to death, and follows the child beyond the tomb; you see well that there is in this love another thing that there is in the house of the animal.” (890 of SB). The parents must create their children with altruism (charity, otherism, selfless) because among parents and children there is a contract of reciprocity. The parents give the life to the child and create this one. When they get elder, the children will take care of their parents and they will create them. Let us do to the other what we want that they do to us.
26 Therefore do not fear them: cause there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed; and hid, that will not be known.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the full light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim over the roofs. (Matthew, X, 26-27).
2 There is nothing covered, that will not be revealed; and occult, that will not be known.
3 Because whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the full light; and what you have spoken in the ear inside of the house will be proclaimed over the roofs. (Luke, XII, 2-3).
62. We can't hide anything from the Spirits. They are everywhere observing everything we do. None escapes from the divine justice, because none is able to hide nothing from the courts of the Lord and from the own conscience and own memory. “The thought of the Spirit irradiate and it is brought to different points at the same time; but this faculty depends on his purity.” (247 of SB). The more perfect the Spirit, the farer his thought broadcasts and vibrates. The thought of Jesus broadcasts and vibrate all over the universe. He can be heard, through the worship, from any place of the universe. The Spirit “perceives what your rude senses can not perceive.” (249 of SB). The spirits “see and comprehend one each other. The word is material; it is the reflex of spirit. The universal fluid establishes a constant communication among them; it is the vehicle of the transmission of the thought, as the air is the vehicle of the sound for you; some kind of a universal telegraph which unites all worlds, and allows the spirits to communicate from one sphere to the other.” (282 of SB). “In the state disengagement where the Spirit of the sleepwalker is, he enters more easily into communication with other
incarnate or disincarnate spirits
; this communication is established through the contact of the fluids which compose their perispirits, and serve for the transmission of thought like the electric cord.” (455 of SB). “Besides don't they have the universal fluid which unites every spheres and turn them reciprocal; immense vehicle of the transmission of thoughts, as the air is, for us, the vehicle of the transmission of sound?” (Allan Kardec, 495 of SB). “How come that two persons, perfectly awake, often have the same thought at the same instant? They are two sympathetic spirits which communicate and see reciprocally their thoughts, even when the body is not asleep.” (421 of SB). The Spirits communicate through the thought and can read our thoughts through the universal fluid and the preach. This is not a specific faculty of the disembodied. The embodied ones also can read the thoughts of other people and Spirits through the love and the preach. This is the telepathy. “These communications between each man with his familiar spirit make every men mediums, unknown mediums today, but they will manifest latter and who will spill as an ocean without border to compress the incredulity and the ignorance.” (Saint Louis, Saint Augustine, 495 of SB). “How do we distinguish our proper thoughts from those which are suggested to us? When a thought is suggested, it is like a voice speaking to you. The proper thoughts are generally those of the first movement. Actually, there isn't great interest for you in this distinction, and it is often useful that you don't know.” (461 of SB). “The presentiment is the intimate and occult counsel of a Spirit who wants the well from you. It is also inside the intuition of the choice that we have been done; it is the voice of the instinct. The Spirit, before being incarnate, has knowledge of the main phases of his existence, it means the genus of proofs in which he compromises himself.” (522 of SB). “When you are in doubt, invoke your good Spirit,
or pray to our Master (Lord) among all, God, that He sends you one of His messengers, the unique of us
." (523 of SB). “The protective Spirits aid us about their counsels by the voice of the
conscience
that they make to talk inside us.” (Allan Kardec, 524 of SB). The law of God is written “inside the
conscience
.” (621 of SB). “When the men of intelligence don't encounter in themselves, they make appeal to the inspiration; it is a evocation that they make without disbelieving themselves.” (462 of SB). “Do not think to hide anything from the guardian angels, for they have the eye of God, and you can't deceive them.” (Saint Louis and Saint Augustine, 495 of SB).
4 I say to you my friends: Don't be afraid of them that kill the body, and after this, they have no more that they can do.
5 But I will show you whom you will fear: Fear the one who after killing, has the power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear this one. (Luke, XII, 4-5).
28 Don't be afraid of them that kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but do fear him who is able to decompose soul and body both in hell. (Matthew, X, 28).
63. Evidently that the materialists dies of fright of the killers, cause for they everything finishes with the death of the body. The imperfect spirits, when they aren't materialists, believe that for being bad, they will suffer eternally in the hell. Because of this they die of fright of the people who encounter in them defects which can take them to the hell. “As they suffer for a long time, they believe they always suffer; God, for punishing them, want that they believe like this.” (101 of SB). This one who can throw us in the hell is oneself through ones sins.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And none of them will fall on the ground without the acquiescence of your Father.
30 And each hairs of your head are all counted.
31 Don't fear therefore! You are worthier than many sparrows. (Matthew, X, 29-31).
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? But none of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
7 Each hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't fear! You are worthier than many sparrows. (Luke, XII, 6-7).
64. Nothing is fortuity. The Spirit “chooses himself the genus of proofs which he wants to suffer, and his free will consists in that.” (258 of SB). “In giving to the Spirit the freedom of choice, God leaves to him the entire responsibility of his acts and its consequences. Nothing blocks his future; the way of the good is for him as that of the evil.” (258, a, of SB). “The spirit can therefore choose the rougher proof, and for consequence the most troublesome existence, in the hope of arriving more rapid to better situation, as the patient often chooses the most disagreeable medicine for healing sooner.” (Allan Kardec, 266 of SB). You demand the proofs and God authorizes. “Nothing happens without the permission of God, for it is He who has established all the laws that govern the universe.” (258, a, of SB). “It isn't said that you have chosen and prophesied everything that happens to you in the world; although the least things. You have chosen the genus of proof to which you are subjected; the details of the facts are the consequence of the social situation and often of your own actions.” (259 of SB). “There is no fatal, in the true meaning of the vocable, except the moment of death; when this moment is reached, by one way or another, you cannot subtract yourself there.” (853 of SB). “In the example that you mention, the ladder tore itself because it was termited, or it was not enough solid to support the weight of the man. If it was in the destiny of this man to dye this manner, the spirits will inspire the thought of lifting such ladder that has to tear under his weight, and his death will have place through a natural effect and without needing to do a miracle for such.” (526 of SB). “What God wants must be.” (529, a, of SB). “Acknowledge God above all, without whose permission nothing is done; and then, the good spirits who have been His agents.” (535 of SB). “Everything has a reason to be, and nothing reaches without the permission of God.” (536 of SB). “Know well that God cannot contradict Himself, and that everything, inside nature, is hamornized itself by the general laws which are never separate of the sublime wisdom of the Creator.” (604 of SB). “But the laws of God are perfect. The harmony which rules the material universe and the moral universe is founded over the laws which God has established for all eternity.” (616 of SB).
XXV – Jesus and John the Baptist
1 When Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he went from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 When John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples to ask to him:
3 Are you he that who was to come, or do we have look for another?
4 And Jesus answering said: Go and tell John the things, which you hear and see:
5 the blind ones see, and the cripples walk, the lepers are purified, the deaf ones hear, the deads are resurrected, and the good news (gospel) are being preached to the paupers.
6 And well-beatified is he that doesn't scandalize on me.
7 Then as these took their way, Jesus passed to say to the multitudes about John: What did you go to see in the wilderness? A cane shaken by the wind?
8 Yes, what did you go to see? A man wearing clothes de luxe? But those that wear clothes de luxe are in palaces of kings.
9 But what did you go out to see? To see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
10 This is he, of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.
11 Truly I say to you: Among those who are born of women there has not appeared anyone greater than John the Baptist;
but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he
.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and it is taken it by force.
13 Because all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And
, if you want to trust: this is Elijah that was to come
.
15 He that has ears to hear, hear it. (Matthew, XI, 1-15).
16 The
law and the prophets were valid until John
; from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man endeavors violently to go in it. (Luke, XVI, 16).
18 And the disciples of John told him all these things. And John called two of his disciples to him
19 and sent them to the Lord to ask: Are you he that was to come, or do we look for another?
20 When the men reached him, they said: John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask: Are you he that was to come, or do we look for another?
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and torments and evil spirits; and he gave sight to many blind ones.
22 Then he answered to them: Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: the blind ones receive their sight, the limping ones walk, the lepers are purified, and the deaf ones hear, the deads are resurrected, the good news (gospel) are preached to pauper ones.
23 And well-beatified is he, whoever will not scandalize on me.
24 And when the messengers of John were gone, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did go to see in the wilderness? A cane shaken with the wind?
25 But what did you go to out to see? A man wearing clothing de luxe? But those who dress luxuriously and live in the luxury are in the courts of the kings.
26 Yes what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before your face: Who will prepare your way before you.
28 I say to you: Among them who are born of women there is none greater than John; but
the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he
.
29 All the people who heard, and the publicans, recognized the justice God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 But the pharisees and the interpreters of the law rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized by him. (Luke, VII, 18-30).
1
Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple
; and the messenger of
the (ark of the) covenant
, whom you want; behold, they come, says the Lord of hosts. (Malachi, III, 1).
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.
6 He will proselyte the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; for that I don't come and hurt the earth with malediction. (Malachi, IV, 5-6).
65. Jesus declares clearly that John the Baptist is reincarnation of Elijah. According to some Spirits, Elijah has already been Moses reembodied. Moses is the messenger of the ark of the covenant. Jesus refers to the Old Testament when He says that until his arrival the kingdom of heaven was taken by violence, mentioning the way God was qualified till then: revengeful, violent, proud, prepotent and military. Jesus alludes to the modesty: the least is in the kingdom of God the greatest: John the Baptist is evolved, but the most humble in the kingdom of heaven is more perfected than John. Jesus is the least in the kingdom of the God: the meekest.
XXVI – The yoke of Jesus
25 That time Jesus exclaimed: I acknowledge you, oh! Father, Lord of heaven and earth, cause you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to the least ones.
26 Yes, Father, because this way it was pleasant to you.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father.
And none knows the Son, save the Father; and none knows the Father, except the Son and that one to whom the Son wants to reveal Him
.
28 Come to me, all you who are tired and overloaded, and I will alleviate you.
29 Take my yoke over you, and learn from me; because I am peaceful and modest in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
30 Because my yoke is soft, and my package is light. (Matthew, XI, 25-30).
21 In that same hour he exalted the Holy Spirit, and said: I thank you, oh! Father, Lord of heaven and earth, cause you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to least ones. Yes, Father; because it was pleasant to you.
22 All things have been delivered to me by my Father.
None knows who the Son is, save the Father; and also none knows who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal Him
.
23 And turning to the disciples, he said privately: Well-beatified the eyes which see the things that you see.
24 Because I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, but they didn't; and to hear the things which you hear, but they didn't listen to them. (Luke, X, 21-24).
1 I will exalt you, my God and King; and I will laud your name forever.
2 Every day I will laud you and I will praise your name forever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is infinite.
4 One generation will laud your works to another, and they will declare your mighty acts.
5 I will meditate about the glorious majesty of your honor, and about your marvelous works.
6 Men will speak of the might of your terrible acts; and I will declare you greatness.
7 They will divulge the memory of your great goodness, and they will turn your justice renowned.
8 The Lord is kind and merciful; slow in becoming angry and of great clemency.
9 The Lord is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All your works will produce gratitudes to you, oh! Lord; and your saints will praise you.
11 They will speak about the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your might;
12 to make known to the
sons of men
your mighty acts, and the glory of the majesty of you kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your dominion subsists through all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words and Holy in all his works.
14 The Lord sustains those who vacillate, and stands the prostate ones up.
15 The eyes of all expect for you; and you give them their food in due season.
16 You open your hand and satisfy with benevolence every living being.
17 The Lord is just in all his ways, and kind in all his works.
18 The Lord is near each one that invokes him, to all that calls him in truth.
19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; He also will hear their cry and He will save them.
20 The Lord preserves all them that love him; but all the unfaithful ones will be destroyed.
21 My mouth will praise the Lord; and let all flesh laud his holy name for all ever. (Psalm CXLV).
66. “Do the power and consideration enjoyed by a man on earth give him supremacy in the world of the Spirits? No; because the little ones will be elevated and the great ones will be lowered. Read the psalms.” (275 of SB). “Don't you know that spirits belong to different orders according to their worth? Ah! Well! The greatest on earth can be in the latest line among the Spirits, but his servant will be the first one. Do you comprehend that? Hasn't Jesus said: Whoever lowers himself will be elevated, and whoever elevate himself will be lowered” (275 of SB). “God takes care Himself of all beings He has created, the most little they are; nothing is too much few for His kindness.” (963 of SB). “The title is nothing, the real superiority is everything.” (277 of SB). “He who professes to worship Christ, and who is proud, envious, and jealous, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this sphere, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart.” (654 of SB). “The proud one believes he has only dignity (self-respect).” (Saint Augustine, 919 of SB). “God always praises those who do the good; alleviating the paupers and afflicted ones is the best mean of honoring Him.” (673 of SB). “The instinct of conservation was given to all beings against dangers and sufferings.” (727 of SB). “God didn't impose to us a task above our forces.” (Saint Louis, Saint Augustine, 495 of SB). There are people who “wanted to be proved by a life of disappointment in order to exercise their patience and resignation.” (...) “If the man undertook only the things related to his faculties, he would almost always succeed; this what ruins him is his self-love and his ambition, which makes him leave this way and catch the desire of satisfying certain passions as a vocation. He shatters and it is his guilt;” (862 of SB). “The judicious man, to be happy, regards below him, and never above him, unless it is to elevate his soul to the infinite.” (923 of SB). “For the souls who are already elevated, the thought in the proofs which remains to him to suffer isn't anything troublesome.” (979 of SB). Jesus didn't come to bring his thoughts to the great and proud ones of earth. They have already gotten their share and it is completely material. Jesus came to bring a light bale to the least ones, to the modest ones. It is through humility that we will obtain the soft yoke of Jesus. No probation is difficult with humbleness. The more proud and selfish we are, the more we will suffer with the probations of this world.
XXVII – How a obsession does begin
43 But the impure spirit, when he gets out of the body of the
man
, he passes through dry places, seeking rest, but he doesn't find it.
44 Then he says: I will go back to my house from where I came. But when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and decorated.
45 Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in the house and inhabit there; and the last action of that
man
becomes worse than the first. This way it will also happen to this evil generation. (Matthew, XII, 43-45).
24 When the unclean spirit goes out of the man, he passes through dry places, looking for relax, but he doesn't find. He says: I will be back to my house where I came from.
25 And when he is come, he finds it swept and garnished.
26 Then he goes, and takes with him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and live there; and the last action of that man becomes worse than the first.
27 It happened, as he said these things, a certain woman among the multitude said aloud to him: Praised is the uterus that procreated you, and the mammas, which you did suck.
28 But he said: Previously they that hear the word of God and keep it are well-beatified! (Luke, XI, 24-28).
67. The good or bad moral qualities of the man “belongs to the spirit who is embodied in him. The purer is this spirit, the more the man is brought to the good.” (361 of SB). “Then the sins we commit have their initial source in the imperfection of our own spirit, which has not yet reached the moral superiority he will have one day,” (872 of SB). Jesus explains that very didactically. The man was bad and his body died. His Spirit is impure and goes away, searching a place to live in. Many times he doesn't know he was dead. He concludes coming back to his house and he passes to haunt the people who live there. This spirits often invites other impure Spirits to cohabit and to obsess the dwellers with him. Some of them find this very laughable. “What is the soul? An embodied Spirit.” (134 of SB). “The man is thus formed of three essential parts: – 1
st
. The naked body is material analogous to the animals, and animated by the same vital principle of them; 2
nd
. The soul, embodied Spirit whose body is his habitation; 3
rd
. The intermediary principle or perispirit, a half-material substance, which links the 1
st
part to the Spirit, and unites the soul to the body. Such a fruit: the seed, the pulp and the peel.” (Allan Kardec, 135, II, of SB). “Certain peoples have done of them evil-doing gods; others designate them under the name of demons, evil genies and spirits of the evil. The living beings, which they animate, when they are embodied, are inclined to all the vices, which engender the vile and degrading passions: the sensuality, the cruelty, the cheat, the hypocrisy, the greed, and the miserly avarice. They do the evil for the pleasure of doing it, the most often without motives, and for the hate of the good they almost always choose their victims among honest people. These are the scourges for humanity, in any order of the society they belong to, and the varnish of the civilization doesn't guarantee them against the infamy and the dishonor.” (102 of SB).
XXVIII – The family of Jesus
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brothers were outside, seeking to speak to him.
47 And one said to him: Your mother and your brothers are outside, they want to talk to you.
48 But he answered to him that told him: Who is my mother? And who are my brothers?
49 And he pointed his hand to his disciples, and said: Behold, my mother and my brothers!
50 Because whoever will do the will of my heavenly Father, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. (Matthew, XII, 46-50).
31 Then his mother and his brothers arrived; and, they stayed out, they ordered to call him.
32 And a multitude was sitting round him; and they said to him: Behold, your mother and your brothers are outside seeking for you.
33 He answered them saying: Who are my mother and my brothers?
34 And looking round on them that sat round him, he said: Behold, my mother and my brothers!
35 Therefore whoever will do the will of God, this is my brother, sister and mother. (Mark, III, 31-35).
19 Came to him his mother and brothers, and they could not come at him because of the crowd.
20 And it was told to him: Your mother and your brothers are outside and they want to see you.
21 But he answered to them: My mother and my brothers are these that hear the word of God, and do it. (Luke, VIII, 19-21).
68. “All the men are brothers in God, because they are animated by the spirit, and cause they walk to the same goal (end).” (54 of SB). “Oh! Believe in me! Believe in me, brothers in God and in Jesus Christ, believe in me,” (Paul, apostle, 1009 of SB). “It is always the same principle: for the elevated Spirits the fatherland is the universe; at ground it is where they have more sympathetic persons.” (317 of SB). “The natural law is the law of God; it is the only truth for the happiness of man; it indicates to him what he must do or not to do, and he is unhappy if he becomes separated of it.” (614 of SB). It doesn't matter if the brothers of Jesus were sons of the first marriage of Joseph or natural sons of Mary. For Jesus, each one of us, sons of men, are sons of the same God who is Father. We are all brothers in God who has been brother and Father. Jesus doesn't want that I do my selfish will, but the wish of the Father who has been God: the goal (end) which we all yearn.
XXIX – Jesus and the women
36 One of the pharisees invited him to have dinner with him. Jesus entered in the pharisee's house, and sat down at the table.
37 And behold, a woman from the city, a sinner; knew that he was sat at the table in the pharisee's house, she brought a vase of alabaster with
anointing
perfumed oil;
38 and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she dried them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and she
anointed
(Christ, Messiah) them with the ointment.
39 when the pharisee that had invited him saw it, he whispered: This man, if he was a prophet, he would know who and what kind of woman this is that who touched him, because she is a sinner.
40 Jesus answered to him: Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said: Say it, Master.
41 A certain creditor (lender) had two debtors: the one owed five hundred denaries (roman silver coin equal to ten cents – dimes), and the other fifty.
42 Both of them didn't have means to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
43 Simon answered: He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the biggest debt. And he said to him: you have rightly judged.
44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon: Do you see this woman? I entered in your house, you didn't give me any water for my feet; but she has wetted my feet with her tears, and dried them with her hair.
45 You didn't give me any kiss; but she, since the time I came in, hasn't stopped to kiss my feet.
46 You didn't
anoint
my head with oil; but she has
anointed
my feet with balsam.
47 So I say to you: Her many sins are forgiven; because she loved a lot; but he who is few forgiven, he loves few.
48 And he said to her: Your sins are forgiven.
49 They that sat at the table with him began to whisper themselves: Who is this that forgives even sins?
50 But he said to the woman: Your faith has saved you; go in peace. (Luke, VII, 36-50).
69. Jesus forgave the sinner women who was humble and loved Him very much. Surely if she wouldn't be regretful of her sins, but she was still sinning she wouldn't be forgiven. “And Mary was that who anointed the Lord with ointment, and dried his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.” (John, XI, 2). Latter on He will show example of humility very similar to the Mary from Bethany, washing the feet of the apostles. Woman and men have equal rights. It is not very easy to reach Jesus' mercy.
1 It happened, soon afterwards, that he walked from the cities to the villages, preaching and announcing the good news of the kingdom of God, and the twelve were with him;
2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene (from Magadan), from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 and Joanna the wife of Chuzas: Herod's proctor (proxy), and Susanna, and many others, who aid them with their possessions. (Luke, VIII, 1-3).
70. Jesus didn't have only eighty-two disciples. There were women who have been always with Him ready to serve Him.
38 They were going by their way, he entered in a certain village. And a certain woman named Martha received him in her house.
39 She had a sister called
Mary (from Bethany),
who also sat at the Lord's feet listening to his word.
40 But Martha was shaking worried and occupied in many services. Then she came to him: Lord, don't you mind that my sister has left me to serve alone? Order her therefore to come to help me.
41 But the Lord answered: Martha! Martha! You are unquiet and troubled about many things.
42 But one thing is necessary; Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her. (Luke, X, 38-42).
XXX – The parable of the sower
1 On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seashore.
2 Great multitudes reunited near him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood up on the beach.
3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold, the sower went out to sow.
4 As he was sowing, some seeds fell by the side of the way, and the birds came and ate them.
5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where the earth was few, and soon they emerged, because the soil wasn't deep.
6 When the sun was risen, it burned them; because they had no root, they dried up.
7 Others fell on the thorns; and the thorns grew up and suffocated them.
8 Others fell on the good ground, and they fruited: some a hundred for one, some sixty, some thirty.
9 He that has ears to hear, listen to.
10 Then the disciples came, and asked him: Why do you speak to them in parables?
11 He answered to them: Because you have capacity to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but they don't have.
12 Cause whoever has, to him it will be given, and he will have plentifully; but whoever has not, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they don't see; and hearing they don't hear, neither they understand.
14 The prophecy of
Isaiah
is fulfilled on them, which says:
You will hear through your ears but you will not understand anyway; you will see through your eyes but you will not discern anyway
.
15
Because this people's heart is hardened. They heard through the ears unwillingly. And they shut up their eyes; for it doesn't happen that they see through the eyes, hear through the ears, understand through their heart, proselyte themselves and
then
I would heal them
.
16 Well-beatified are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.
17 Truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, but they didn't see; and to hear what you hear, but they didn't hear.
18 Hear then the parable of the sower.
19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, but he doesn't understand, then the evil comes, and he kidnaps what has been sown in his heart. This is he who was sown in the side of the way.
20 He that was sown on the rocky ground, this is he that hears the word, and he receives it soon with joy;
21 but he doesn't have root in himself, he resists for a while; but when tribulation or persecution reaches him because of the word, soon he scandalizes himself.
22 He that was sown on the thorns, this is he that hears the word; but the cares of the world and the fascination for wealth suffocate the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
23 He that was sown on the good ground, this is he that hears the word, and comprehends it; who fruits, and produces a hundred, sixty, thirty for one. (Matthew, XIII, 1-23).
9 Then he said: Go, and tell this people:
You will indeed hear, but you will not understand; and you will indeed see, but you will not perceive
.
10
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their eyes heavy, and shut their ears; so they won't see with their eyes, and they won't hear with their ears, and they won't understand with their heart, and they won't proselyte themselves,
and they won't be cured
. (
Isaiah
, VI, 9-10).
1 Jesus began to teach by the seaside again. There was gathered to him a very great multitude, so he entered in a boat, where he sat away the beach; and all the multitude was on the beach by the sea.
2 He taught them many things in parables, exposing his doctrine.
3 Hear: Behold, the sower went out to sow.
4 As he was sowing, some seed fell by the side of the way, and the birds came and ate it.
5 Other fell on the rocky ground, where the earth was few; soon it germinated, because the earth was not deep.
6 When the sun was risen, it burned it; and because it had no root, it dried up.
7 Other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it didn't fructify.
8 Other fell in the good ground, and fructified, and growing up and increasing; and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundred for one.
9 And he added: Who has ears to hear, listen to it.
10 When Jesus was alone, they that were near him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 He said to them: You are able to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but they who are out are entirely taught in parables;
12 because seeing, they don't see, neither they perceive; and hearing, they don't hear, neither they understand; so they won't be proselyted, neither they will be forgiven.
13 Then he said to them: Don't you understand this parable? And how will you comprehend all the parables?
14 The sower sows the word.
15 These are in the side of the way, where the word is sown; and while they hear, soon Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
16 Like these are they who are sown on the stony ground, who, when they have heard the word, soon they receive it with joy.
17 But they have no root in themselves; they support for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, soon they scandalize themselves.
18 The others are they who are sown among the thorns; these are they that hear the word,
19 but the cares of the world, and the fascination for richness, and the other competing ambitions suffocate the word, and it become unfruitful.
20 Those who were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word and accept it, and fructify, thirty, sixty, and a hundred for one. (Mark, IV, 1-20).
4 When a great multitude came together from every city to him, he spoke by a parable:
5 The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some fell on the side of the way; and it was trodden on feet, and the birds of the heaven ate it.
6 Other fell on the rock; and it grew; then it dried, because there was no humidity.
7 Other fell in the middle of thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
8 Other fell in the good ground; and grew, and produced fruit a hundred for one. As he said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, hear it.
9 And his disciples asked him: What was this parable?
10 He answered: You are able to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but it is talked in parables to the remainder; so seeing, they don't see; and hearing, they don't understand.
11 The sense of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those who fell in the side of the way are those who heard; then comes the devil, and takes away the word from their heart, so they won't believe neither they will be saved.
13 Those who fell on the stone are those who listening to the word, receive it with joy; these have no root, they believe for a while, but in time of temptation they succumb to it.
14 Those who fell among the thorns, those heard the word, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and richness and pleasures of this life; but their fruits don't ripen.
15 Those who fell in the good ground, those have heard in a good and righteous heart. They keep the word; they fructify persistently. (Luke, VIII, 4-15).
71. It is not easy to be cured by Jesus. We have to do our part for that He can cure us. Solomon wrote other 3000 parables in Proverbs, X-XXIX. Here Jesus teaches the simple and ignorant Spirits that one must cultivate in good ground. The parables are allegories made didactically by Jesus for the imperfect Spirits of that time who couldn't understand the spiritual taughts of Jesus. The imperfect Spirits understand only the material things. “The word of Jesus was often allegoric and in parables; because He spoke according to the times and places. It is convenient now that the truth will be intelligible for the whole world. It is convenient to explain well and to develop these laws, considering that there are so few people who comprehend them, and yet lesser who practise them. Our mission is to hurt the eyes and ears to assemble the proud ones and to unmask the hypocrites. These who affect the outside of the virtue and of the religion for hiding their turpitudes. The taught of the Spirits must be clear and without ambiguities, in order to the person can't allege ignorance and that anyone can judge them and appreciate them with his own reason. We are in charge of preparing the reign of good announced by Jesus; it is because it is not convenient that anyone can interpret the law of God according to the desire of his passions, neither falsify the meaning of a law wholly of love and charity.” (627 of SB). “In antiquity spiritism was the object of mysterious studies, carefully hidden against the vulgar ones; today, there are no secrets for anyone; he speaks a clear language, without ambiguities; in his house, nothing of mystic, place of allegories susceptible of false interpretations: he wants to be comprehended by everyone, because the time is come to make known the truth by the men; far from opposing himself against the diffusion of the light, he wants it for the whole world; he doesn't complain a obfuscated belief, he wants that we know why we believe in him; in basing himself over reason, he will always be stronger than those who base themselves over nothing.” (conclusion, VI, of SB).
XXXI – The parable of the tare and the wheat
24 He set another parable before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field;
25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tare also among the wheat, and went away.
26 But when the herb grew and produced fruit, the tare also appeared.
27 Then the servitors of the householder came and said to him: Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where does the tare come from so?
28 But he said to them: An enemy has done this. But the servants asked him: Do you want that we go and tear it away?
29 But he said: No! Because if you tear the tare away you will tear the wheat away with too.
30 Let them both grow together until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the harvesters: Harvest first the tares, and tie them in bunches to burn them; but deposit the wheat into my storehouse. (Matthew, XIII, 24-30).
36 Then he left the multitudes, and went to the house. And his disciples came to him, saying: Explain to us the parable of the tare of the field.
37 He answered: He that sows the good seed is the Son of man;
38 the field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;
39 the enemy who sowed them is the devil; and the harvest is the consummation of the century; and the harvesters are the angels.
40 As therefore the tare is harvested and thrown in fire; so it will be in the consummation of the century.
41 The Son of man will send his angels, and they will tie all scandals, and them that practice iniquity of his kingdom,
42 and he will cast them in the inflamed firebox; there it will there be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears to hear, listens to. (Matthew, XIII, 36-43).
72. Here Jesus teaches the more materialized ones that we must separate the damaging herb only when this isn't harm to the plant, which we want to produce. “Do not despise the opinion of your enemies, for they have no interest in dissimulating the truth, and God often places them beside you as a mirror, to warn you more frankly than it would be done by a friend.” (Saint Augustine, 919, II, of SB). The friends love us, and for having a goal post in the eye, they don't alert us of our dusts. Because of this, the enemies are extremely necessary. They appoint our imperfections without pity neither clemency. We need them to make our self-reformation. We are reaching the time of the harvest. The earth will pass from world of expiations and proofs to world of
regeneration (reembodiment).
The bad ones (the tare) will be taken to a world of expiations and proofs very lower than earth. The good ones (the wheat) will remain at the earth. “The earth, according to the law of progress, has already been materially and morally in a state lower than it is today, and it will reach under these both benefits a step more advanced. The earth is arrived to one of these periods of transformation, where from expiatory world it will go to become
regenerating world
; then the men there will be happy, because the law of God there will reign.” (Saint Augustine, GAS, III, 19). “The good will reign over earth when, among the spirits who will come to inhabit it, the good will take off the evil ones. Then, there they will make reign the love and the justice, which are the source of good and the welfare. It is through moral progress and the practice of the laws of God that the man will attract over the earth the good spirits, and he will repel the bad ones. But the bad ones won't go away while the pride and the selfishness aren't banished. The transformation of the humanity was prophesied, and you touch this moment, which hurries all the men who aid to the progress. It will be accomplished itself by the embodiment of better Spirits who will constitute over the earth
a new generation
. Then the Spirits of the evil ones that the death harvest each day, and everyone that try to stop the march of the things will be excluded, cause they will be removed from among the good men whose happiness they would trouble. They will go to the new worlds, less advanced, to occupy painful missions where they will be able (decompose) to work for their own advancement in the same time that they will work for the advancement of their brothers yet more underdeveloped. Don't you see the sublime figure of the
Lost Paradise
in this exclusion from the transformed earth, and in the man come over the earth in alike conditions, and supporting in himself the germ of his passions and the traces of his primitive inferiority, the figure not less sublime of
the original sin (the Fall)
? The original sin, considered under this point of view, calm down the nature yet imperfect of the man who isn't thus responsible except by himself and for his own sins, and not for those of his parents. You all, men of faith and of good will (willingly), work so with zeal and courage to the great work of
regeneration (reembodiment, reincarnation),
cause you will harvest at a hundredfold the seed that you will have sown. Uneasiness to these who shut their eyes up against the light, cause they prepare to themselves long centuries of darkness and disappointments; uneasiness to these who set all their joys in the wealth of this world, cause they will support the maximum of privations that they haven't golded with pleasures; uneasiness above all the selfish ones, cause they won't find a person to aid them to bring the charge of their miseries.” (Saint Louis, 1019 of SB).
XXXII – The parable of the seed
26 He said: The kingdom of God is as if a man would cast the seed on the earth;
27 then he would sleep and stand up night and day, and the seed would germinate and grow up, but he doesn't know how.
28 The earth fructifies by itself: first the herb, then the spike, then the spike full of grains.
29 But when the fruit is mature, suddenly he puts the scythe on, because the harvest is come. (Mark, IV, 26-29).
73. Jesus teaches the simple ones to work the earth sowing seeds, which are the germ of the plants that we eat. The kingdom of the heaven is almost beautiful and there are plants in there, which are the intelligent principles of the plants of the earth. Very few ones are able to comprehend the kingdom of heaven, how the laws of God work without the men know how. And there are generations and generations of new seed growing. It is a garden.
XXXIII – The parable of the grain of the mustard seed
30 He said: How will we liken the kingdom of God? Or in what parable will we set it?
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown on the earth, it is the littlest seed on the earth;
32 but when it is sown, grows up, and becomes biggest than all the herbs, and puts out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can nest under its shadow.
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 And he didn't speak to them without parables; but he explained privately all things to his own disciples. (Mark, IV, 30-34).
31 Another parable he set before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is alike a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;
32 which indeed is the smallest of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is the biggest of the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and nest in its branches. (Matthew, XIII, 31-32).
18 He said: To what is the kingdom of God like? To how will I compare it?
19 It is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man planted in his own vegetable garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven nested in its branches. (Luke, XIII, 18-19).
5 Then the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.
6 The Lord answered: If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mulberry: Pull up itself and transplant itself in the sea; and it will obey you. (Luke, XVII, 5-6).
74. Jesus teaches to seek planting the vegetable, which produces more food to the simple people. We must not despise anyone. The humblest is that one which we need more. And the kingdom of heaven is made of the least ones, but for their love and knowledge, produce much more than the others. We are the grain of mustard seed who will grow, bemean and to become God. “
It is thus that everything incases, everything inchains inside nature, from the primitive atom to the archangel, who himself began at the atom
; an admirable law of harmony, which your limited spirit cannot, however, seize entirely.” (540 of SB). We begin as atoms, in the mineral kingdom. We become plants in the vegetable kingdom. We pass through many species in the animal kingdom. We become men or Spirits and we enter in the humane kingdom and one day we will be pure spirits in the Kingdom of God. We need to believe in the words of Jesus and this all will happen.
XXXIV – The parable of the leaven
33 He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.
34 All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he didn't speak anything to them;
35 in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: I will open my mouth in parables; I will publicize things hidden since the creation of the world. (Matthew, XIII, 33-35).
2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will publicize secrets of antiquity, (Psalm, LXXVIII, 2).
20 Again he said: To what will I compare the kingdom of God?
21 It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened. (Luke, XIII, 20-21).
75. Jesus teaches the women who didn't know, and who were many to use leaven. The leaven is alike the good men who are mixed to the other men. "The more advanced aid the progress of the others by the social contact." (779 of SB). Some men are catalysers. When Jesus wanted to talk to the simple and ignorant Spirits without being attacked he used fables and parables.
XXXV – The parable of the hidden treasure
44 The kingdom of heaven is like to a treasure occult in the field; which a man discovered, and hid. And in his joy he goes and sells everything he has, and buys that field. (Matthew, XIII, 44).
76. Jesus teaches the ignorant men to gain money. The kingdom of heaven is not material. One can't buy the kingdom of heaven through money. The money can be used to buy the field where one will work. But the kingdom is reached though the benign work in what everyone seek the welfare of all. The kingdom of heaven can't be reached through selfishness and avarice. The Holy Writ is the field, which is full of occult treasures of the knowledge, which everyone can discover.
XXXVI – The parable of the pearl
45 The kingdom of heaven is like one who deals and seek for good pearls;
46 and having met a pearl of great value, he sells all that he has, and buys it. (Matthew, XIII, 45-46).
77. Jesus teaches the simple women to buy beautiful things. The kingdom of heaven isn't material, but has great worth in knowledge and wisdom. Who searches the kingdom of heaven doesn't worry in having material things. But a big pearl is beautiful, isn't it? The Holy Scripture is filled of pearls.
XXXVII – The parable of the net
47 The kingdom of heaven is like to a net, that was thrown into the sea, gathering fishes of every specie.
48 When it was filled, the fishermen drag it to the beach; and they sat down, they choose the good ones to the baskets, but the bad ones they cast away.
49 Like this it will be in the consummation of the century: the angels will come, and they will pick the evil ones from among the righteous,
50 and they will cast them into the inflamed forge; there it will there be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. (Matthew, XIII, 47-50).
78. Jesus teaches the ignorant fishermen to return the little fishes to the sea for that they grow. Jesus refers to the end of the times again. The time where the earth is a world of expiations and proofs is reaching the end. The earth will become a new world of regeneration. “In certain epochs, decided by the godly wisdom, these emigrations and immigrations of Spirits happens in amounts more or less considerable, due to the big revolutions which cause the simultaneous departure in big quantities, suddenly replaced by equivalent quantities of embodiments.” (Allan Kardec, The Genese, XI, 36). The bad ones will be emigrated to worlds of expiations and proofs worst than their earth and the earth will receive Spirits emigrated from worlds of regeneration which will become happy worlds.
XXXVIII – The parable of the householder
51 Did you understand all these things? They said to him: Yes!
52 Then he said to them: Therefore every scribe who became a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like to a man who is a householder, who takes from his treasure new and old things.
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there. (Matthew, XIII, 51-53).
79. They understood yes the more simple and material taughts of Jesus. The old things are the material and practical taughts of the parables of Jesus. The new things are the moral taughts inside these same parables.
XXXIX – A prophet doesn't have honor in his own earth
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 And coming in his own country he taught them in their synagogue, such that they were astonished, and said: From where do this wisdom and these mighty works come to him?
55 Isn't he the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother called Mary? And his brothers, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Don't all his sisters live among us? From where do all these things come to him?
57 They were scandalizing in him. But Jesus said to them:
A prophet isn't without honor, except in his own country and in his own house
.
58 And he didn't make many mighty works there because of their
unbelief
. (Matthew, XIII, 53-58).
1 He went out from there; and he came to his own land, and his disciples followed him.
2 And when the saturday was come, he began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing him were astonished, saying: From where do these things come to this man? What is the wisdom that is given to this man? How come he does these mighty works
by his hands
?
3 Isn't this the carpenter, son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joseph, and Judas, and Simon? Don't his sisters live here among us? And they were scandalized in him.
4 But Jesus said to them:
A prophet isn't without honor, except in his own earth, among his relatives and in his own house
.
5 And he couldn't do any mighty work there, except healing a few sick persons,
setting his hands over them
.
6 He marvelled because of their
unfaith
. But went to the round villages to teach. (Mark, VI, 1-6).
80. Those men saw Jesus grow and they didn't understand his mission. They didn't have faith in what He was doing and the unfaith harms the proper patient who wants to cure himself. Besides it is not enough to believe in God. It is necessary to regret and follow His laws. On the other hand, that people were yet constrained because they were not able to kill Jesus according to the chapter XIII.
XL – The death of John the Baptist
19 but Herod, the tetrarch, being reprehended by him cause of Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil works, which Herod had done,
20 added to those all: this also, that he cast John in prison. (Luke, III, 19-20).
1 At that time Herod, the tetrarch, heard the fame about Jesus,
2 and said to his servants: This is John the Baptist; he resuscitated from the deads, and cause of this, might powers work in him.
3 Because Herod had arrested John and tied him, and put him in prison cause of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
4 Because John said to him: It is not lawful for you to have her.
5 He was wanting to kill him, but he feared the people, because he was a prophet for them.
6 But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before everybody and pleased Herod.
7 For that he promised, under oath, to give her whatever she would ask.
8 Then she, instigated by her mother, said: Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a dish.
9 The king got afflicted; but because of his oath and of them who sat at the table with him, he decided it would be given;
10 and he ordered and decapitated John in the prison.
11 His head was brought on a dish, and given to the teenager, who took it to her mother.
12 Then his disciples came, took the body and sepulchered him; after that they went and told Jesus. (Matthew, XIV, 1-12).
14 This was heard by the king Herod, because the name of Jesus became known; and someone said: John the Baptist resuscitated from the deads, and therefore these powers do work in him.
15 Others said: He is Elijah. And others said: He is a prophet as one of the prophets.
16 But Herod, when he heard this, said: John, whom I decapitated, he resurged.
17 Because Herod himself, because of Herodias (his brother Philip's wife), (
which Herod had married
), had ordered to arrest John and tie him in prison.
18 Because John said to Herod: It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.
19 And Herodias hated him, wanting to kill him, but she couldn't.
20 Cause Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him satisfied.
21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a banquet to his dignitaries, military officers, and the leaders of Galilee;
22 the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at the table with him; and the king said to the teenager: Ask for me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.
23 And he swore to her: Whatever you will ask for me, I will give it to you, even the half of my kingdom.
24 She went out and said to her mother: What will I ask? She said: The head of John the Baptist.
25 She came back suddenly in a hurry to the king and asked: I want that you give me without delay on a plate the head of John the Baptist.
26 The king became very sad; but cause of his oaths and of them that sat at the table, he wouldn't deny it to her.
27 He send immediately the headsman, and commanded to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 and brought his head on a plate, and delivered it to the teenager; and this gave it to her mother.
29 When his disciples heard that, they came and took his body and deposited it in a tomb. (Mark, VI, 14-29).
7 Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all that was done, and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some: John resuscitated from the dead;
8 and by any: Elijah had appeared; and by others: One of the old prophets was resuscitated.
9 But Herod said: I beheaded John; who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he endeavored to see him. (Luke, IX, 7-9).
81. “And Elijah said to them: Catch the prophets of Baal, don't let even one of them escape. When the people seized them, Elijah took them to the torrent of Cison, and there he killed them.” (3 Kings, XVIII, 40). The law of action and reaction fell on John the Baptist. He was killed decapitated because when he was named Elijah he had killed the priests of Baal. How many men of these days don't loose the head because of a prostitute? There are prostitutes able to carry everything belonged by the men, even their life.
XLI – The multiplication of breads and fishes
13 When Jesus heard it, he get out from there in a boat, to a desert place aside; when the multitudes knew, they followed him on foot from the cities.
14 He unshipped and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick ones.
15 At evening, the disciples came to him, saying: The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go to the villages, and buy themselves food.
16 But Jesus said to them: They don't need to go away; give them to eat by yourselves.
17 But they said to him: We have here just
five breads, and two fishes
.
18 Then he said: Bring them here to me.
19 He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; he took the five breads, and the two fishes, and looking up to the heaven, he eulogizes. He divided the breads and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
20 They all ate, and were filled; and they got twelve baskets full of the pieces, which remained.
21 Those who did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children. (Matthew, XIV, 13-21).
30 The apostles came back to Jesus and they told him all things they had done, everything they had taught.
31 He said to them: Come to rest a while aside in a desert place; because they didn't have time even to eat, so many ones coming and going.
32 They went away in the boat to a desert place aside.
33 The people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and they arrived before them.
34 When he unshipped he saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
35 When the evening arrived, his disciples came to him and said: This place is desert, and the day is finishing;
36 send them away, that they go in the countries and villages round, and buy to themselves something to eat.
37 But he answered to them: Give them to eat. They said to him: Will we go and buy two hundred denaria (silver roman coin equal to ten cents or one dime) of bread, and give them to eat?
38 He said to them: How many breads do you have? Go and see. When they knew, they said:
Five, and two fishes
.
39 He commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 They sat down in groups, of hundreds, and of fifties.
41 He took the five breads and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he eulogized, and divided the breads; and he gave to the disciples to distribute them; and the two fishes divided among them all.
42 They all ate, and were filled.
43 And they collected twelve baskets full of divided pieces of both breads and fishes.
44 Those who ate the breads were five thousand men. (Mark, VI, 30-44).
10 When the apostles were returned, they declared to him what things they had done. He took them, and went aside to a city called Bethsaida.
11 But the multitudes discovered it and followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he healed them who needed to be cured.
12 The day began to end. The twelve came and said to him: Send the multitude away, so they will go in the villages and countries round, and lodge, and get provisions; because we are here in a desert place.
13 But he said to them: Give them to eat yourselves. They answered: We have no more than
five breads and two fishes
; except if we go and buy food for all this people.
14 Because they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples: Make them sit down in groups of fifty each.
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
16 He took the five breads and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he eulogized them, and divided; and gave to the disciples to distribute to the multitude.
17 They ate and were all filled; twelve baskets of divided pieces remained. (Luke, IX, 10-17).
1 After these things Jesus went to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did healing the sick ones.
3 Then Jesus went up to the mountain and there he sat with his disciples.
4 The Passover, the feast of the jews, was nearby.
5 Then Jesus lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude came to him, said to Philip: Where will we buy bread to feed them?
6 But he said to prove him, because he knew himself what he would do.
7 Philip answered him: Two hundred denaria (dimes in roman coin) of bread isn't enough for them, for that each one receive a piece.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him:
9 There is a teenager boy here, who has
five barley breads and two fishes
; but is it enough to so many ones?
10 Jesus said: Make the people sit down. Because there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 Then Jesus took the breads and having acknowledged, he distributed to them; equally he also do to the fishes as much as they wanted.
12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather the remained divided pieces, for that nothing be lost.
13 this way they done and filled twelve baskets with divided pieces of the five barley breads, which remained to them that had eaten.
14 When the men saw the sign, which he did, they said: This is in truth the prophet that was to come to the world. (John, VI, 1-14).
82. The bread and the fishes which Jesus multiplied were not material, but fluid, ectoplasmic. They didn't feed the body, but the perispirit, the psychosoma. “God doesn't entrust himself to a direct action on matter;" (536, II, of SB). Those breads and fishes were like the body of Jesus: made of the fifth essence of the matter. “14
th
Could the objects which, by the will of the Spirit, become touchable, remain with this characteristic becoming of common use? This could happen,
but this is not done
. It is out of the laws. 15
th
Have all the Spirits, in the same degree, the might of producing touchable objects? Certainly the more advanced the Spirit is, the easier to reach that. But, yet here, everything depends on the circumstances. The lower Spirits also have this might.” (Saint Louis, MB, 2
nd
part, VIII, 128, 14

XLII – Jesus walks on the sea
45 After that he constrained his disciples to load a boat to go before him to the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.
46 When he have bidden farewell to them, he climbed the mountain to pray.
47 At evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48 And seeing them rowing uneasily against the wind, about the fourth guard's turn of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would outrun before them.
49 But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, thought that he was a ghost, and cried out.
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. But he suddenly spoke to them and said:
Have a good soul
! I AM. Don't be afraid!
51 And he went up into the boat to them; and the wind stopped. They were sore amazed in themselves;
52 because
they haven't understood about the breads
, but their heart was hardened.
53 When they had crossed over, they came to the land in Gennesaret where they reach the shore.
54 When they came out of the boat, suddenly the people recognized him;
55 and they ran round about that whole region, and began to carry on their beds those that were sick to where they heard he was.
56 Wherever he entered, into villages, or cities, or countries, they set the sick in the public squares, asking for him to let them touch at least the border of his clothes; and as many as they touched him they were healed. (Mark, VI, 45-56).
22 After that he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat to go before him to the other side, till he would send the multitudes away.
23 Sent the multitudes away, he went up to the mountain to pray apart. When the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, whipped by the waves; against the wind.
25 In the fourth guard of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying: It is a ghost! And they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them: Have good soul! I AM. Don't be afraid.
28
Peter answered him saying: Lord, if YOU ARE, let me go to you over the waters
.
29
And he said: Come! And Peter going down from the boat he walked on the waters and he went to Jesus
.
30
But when he saw the wind, he got afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me
!
31
And immediately Jesus stretched his hand, took him and said to him: Man of little belief, why did you doubt
?
32 When they both were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying: Truly you are the Son of God!
34 Then they had crossed over, they arrived to the earth, to Gennesaret.
35 When the men of that place knew him, they ordered to notify all that region round and they brought to him all that were sick,
36 and they asked for him to allow them to touch the border of his clothes; and as many as they were touched were healed. (Matthew, XIV, 22-36).
16 When the evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.
17 They took a boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus hadn't yet come to them.
18 And the sea was rising shook by a great wind that breathed.
19 They had rowed about
twenty five or thirty furlongs (25 x 201,16=5029 meters),
suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and approaching the boat; and they were afraid.
20 But he said to them: I AM. Don't be afraid!
21 So they were willing receiving him in the boat; the boat reached its destiny. (John, VI, 16-21).
83. Jesus had a fluid body made of the fifth essence of the matter, for that it was so easy to him to walk on the sea. “As the Spirit is transported with the speed of the thought, we can say that he can see everything at the same time.” (247 of SB). “Don't being subject to the reembodiment inside perishable bodies, the life is eternal for the pure Spirits. They accomplish this life in the bosom of God.” (113 of SB). Jesus was far about 25 to 30 furlongs (1 furlong = 201,16 meters), therefore, Jesus had walked between 5.029 meters and 6.034,8 meters on the sea. But Peter had a body of flesh and gave some steps on the sea cause of a mediumistic quality of physical effects, his and belonged by the other apostles, before sinking. "It is necessary, however, to ponder that the faculty of producing material effects rarely exists in the ones who have more perfects means of communication, as the writing and the speaking. Generally, the faculty decreases in one mean while it is developed in an other mean." (Allan Kardec, item 160 of MB).
XLIII – Jesus is the bread of life
22 In the day after the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except one and that Jesus didn't go in the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples went away alone
23 However, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24 So when the multitude saw that Jesus wasn't there, neither his disciples, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum searching Jesus.
25 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him: Master, when did you arrive here?
26 Jesus answered them: Truly, truly I say to you: You search me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the breads, and you were filled.
27 Don't work for the food, which
perishes
, but for the food, which remains, to the eternal life, which the Son of man will give for you; because God, the Father, has sanctioned with his sealing wax. (John, VI, 22-27).
84. Jesus had already said: “But he answered: It is written: Man will not live only of bread, but of each word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew, IV, 4). And also: “But look for his kingdom first, and his justice; and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew, VI, 33). The multitude wasn't seeking the bread of the heaven: the word of Jesus and the fluid breads. The multitude was searching Momus who would fill their stomachs.
28 They said therefore to him: What will we do to accomplish the works of God?
29 Jesus answered them: This is the work of God: Believe in him whom he has sent.
30 Then they said to him: What sign do you that we see and we believe in you? What are your works?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: He gave them bread of heaven to eat.
32 Jesus replied them: Truly, truly I say to you: It was not Moses who gave you the bread of heaven; but it is my Father who gives you the true bread of heaven.
33 Because the bread of God is he who comes down from the heaven and gives life to the world.
34 So they said to him: Lord, give us this bread for ever.
35 Jesus declared to them: I AM the bread of the life;
he who comes to me will never hunger
; and
he who believes in me will never thirst
.
36 But I have already said to you that although you have seen me, you yet don't believe.
37 Whoever the Father gives to me, he will come to me;
and I will cast out him who comes to me no way
.
38 Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
39 And this is the will of him that sent me:
That I don't loose anyone of all those who he gave to me
; but I will resurrect him in the last day.
40 In fact, the will of my Father is that whoever see the Son and believe in him, he will have eternal life; and I will resurrect him in the last day. (John, VI, 28-40).
24 And he rained down manna over them to eat, and he gave them the wheat from heaven.
25 Each man ate the bread of the mighty: He sent plentiful food to them. (Psalm LXXVIII, 24-25).
14 When the dew had evaporated, behold, there was a small round thing on the face of the wilderness, little as the hoarfrost on the ground.
15 The children of Israel saw it and said one to another: What is this? Because they didn't know what it was. Moses said to them: This is the bread, which the Lord gave you to eat. (Exodus, XVI, 14-15).
85. The manna of Moses was the bread, which fed the body. The bread of Jesus is fluid, as He is himself fluid. There are some persons in earth, which affirm they can live without the food of the physical body. The bread of Moses gets in through the mouth, descends the belly and is cast out. The bread of Jesus is never cast out. We are the bread of Jesus, which is never cast out as perishable thing. Not even the present devils will escape of the glory of God, because Jesus doesn't want that any of us will be lost. Each one of us will one day go in the Kingdom of God and we will resurrect as pure Spirits, as Holy as Jesus. We are all eternal. We didn't have a start in time and we won't have an end in any time.
41 The jews thus whispered concerning him, because he said: I AM the bread who came down from heaven.
42 And they said: Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph? Whose father and mother we know? How come now he says: I came from heaven?
43 Jesus answered: Don't whisper among yourselves.
44 None
can come to me if the Father (who sent me) won't bring him; and I will resurrect him in the last day
.
45 It is written in the prophets: And they will all be taught by God. Every one that has heard from the Father, and has learned, he comes to me.
46 Not that any man has seen the Father, save he who is from God, he has seen the Father.
47 Truly, truly I say to you: He who believes in me has eternal life.
48 I AM the bread of the life.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
50 This is the bread who come down from heaven, for that whoever eat him, he will not perish.
51 I AM the alive bread who came down from heaven; if anyone this bread, he will live eternally; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.
52 The jews therefore debate one with another, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Jesus answered them: Truly, truly I say to you: If you don't eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood;
you aren't alive yourselves.
54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will resurrect him at the last day.
55 Cause
my flesh is true food
and
my blood is true beverage
.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I inside him.
57 As
the Father
,
who lives
, sent me, and I equally live for the Father; so he who eats me, he will also live for me.
58 This is the bread who came from the heaven, not as that bread which you ate, but died; he who eats this bread will live eternally.
59 Jesus said these things, while he was teaching in the synagogue of Capernaum. (John, VI, 41-59).
6
Jesus answered him: I AM the way, the truth and the life; none reaches the Father, but through me
. (John, XIV, 6).
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father.
And none knows the Son, but the Father; and none knows the Father, except the Son and that one to whom the Son wants to reveal Him
. (Matthew, XI, 27).
22 All things have been delivered to me by my Father.
None knows who the Son is, save the Father; and also none knows who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal Him
. (Luke, X, 22).
86. Moses feed the body and the body which Moses fed died. You came from dust and you will come back to powder. Jesus feeds the Spirit and this one is eternal. “"It is the life of the Spirit which is eternal;” (153 of SB). God é Father and he is a living God, who lives as Holy Spirit and supreme in His intelligence, as we all will be one day.
60 Many of his disciples, when they heard this, said: This is a hard speech; who can hear it?
61 But Jesus, knowing himself that his disciples whispered this, said to them: Does this scandalize you?
62 What about if you would see the Son of man lifting to the place where he was initially?
63 It
is the spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing
; the words that I have spoken to you are
spirit and life
.
64 But there are unbelievers among you. Cause Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe and who would betray him.
65 And he said: For this cause, I have said to you:
That no man can come to me, except if he is authorized by the Father
.
66 Because of this, many of his disciples gave up and they wouldn't walk anymore with him.
67 Therefore Jesus asked the twelve: Will you also give up?
68 Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom will we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69 And we have believed and know that you are the Holy of God.
70 Jesus answered them: Didn't I choose you in number of twelve? But one among you is a devil.
71 Now he spoke about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; because he was who would betray him, being one of the twelve. (John, VI, 60-71).
87. Listening these words of Jesus about the food of the body, many disciples of him abandoned Him, except the twelve and even among the twelve there was a demon, an impure Spirit who the Father had chosen. “Certain peoples have done of them evil-doing gods; others designate them under the name of demons, evil genies and spirits of the evil.” (102 of SB). The word of Jesus asserts even to Judas Iscariot: “And this is the will of him that sent me:
That I don't loose anyone of all those who he gave to me
; but I will resurrect him in the last day.” (John, VI, 39). Judas repaired his treason to the Christ in the body of Jeanne DÆArc, who the Catholic Church burned as witch and after that she was sanctified. This history is told in book by Léon Dennis, contemporary french friend of Allan Kardec.á “Your Spirit is everything; your body is a clothing, which perishes itself: There it is everything.” (196, II, of SB).
XLIV – Honor father and mother
12 Honor your father and your mother, for that your days; in the earth which the Lord, your God, gives to you; will be long. (Exodus, XX, 12).
16 Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord, your God, commanded you; for that your days will be long, and that you go well, in the land which the Lord, your God, gives to you. (Deuteronomy, V, 16).
17
And he who slanders his father or his mother will die
. (Exodus, XXI, 17).
24
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth
, hand for hand, foot for foot.
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, blow for blow. (Exodus, XXI, 24-25).
13 Because the Lord said: Cause this people approaches to me, and honor me with their mouth and with their lips, but their heart goes far from me, and their fear of me is just a commandment of men who were taught to do that; (Isaiah, XXIX, 13).
1 Then some pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem asking:
2 Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? Because they don't wash their hands when they eat.
3 But he answered them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 Cause God said:
Honor your father and your mother
; and:
He who slanders father or mother be punished with death
.
5 But you say: Whoever will say to his father or his mother: That which you could profit from me belongs to the Lord;
6 he won't honor his father or his mother. And you have annulled the word of God because of your tradition.
7 Hypocrites! Well Isaiah prophesied about you saying:
8 This people honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But uselessly they worship me, teaching doctrines, which are precepts of men.
10 And he called the multitude to him and said to them: Hear and understand:
11
It isn't that, which enters in the mouth, that dishonors the man; but that, which comes from the mouth, this dishonors the man
.
12 Then the disciples came and said to him: Do you know that the pharisees became scandalized, when they listened to your words?
13 But he answered: Every plant, which my heavenly Father didn't plant, will be plucked.
14 Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind one guides the blind one, they both will fall in the
abyss
.
15 Then Peter answered to him: Explain the parable to us.
16 But he said: Don't you also understand yet?
17 Don't you understand that
whatever goes into the mouth passes through the belly and it is cast out
?
18 But the things, which come from the mouth, come from the heart, and this dishonors the man.
19 Because evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, prostitutions, thefts, false witness, blasphemies come from the heart.
20 These are the things which dishonor the man; but eating with unwashed hands doesn't dishonor the man. (Matthew, XV, 1-20).
1 The pharisees and certain of the scribes (come) from Jerusalem joined to him.
2 And seeing that some of his disciples ate their bread with
impure
hands, which means, unwashed hands.
3 (Cause the pharisees and all the jews, following the tradition of the elders, don't eat without washing their hands carefully;
4 when they come from the public square, they don't eat without taking a bath; and many other things which they have received to follow as washing glasses (cups), pans (pots) and brass receptacles.)
5 And the pharisees and the scribes asked him: Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but they eat their bread with
impure
hands?
6 He answered them: Isaiah prophesied well about you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 But uselessly they worship me: They teach doctrines, which are precepts of men.
8 Neglecting the commandment of God, you preserve the tradition of men.
9 And he still said to them: Skillfully you reject the commandment of God to keep your tradition.
10 Cause Moses said: Honor your father and your mother; and: He who slanders father or mother will be punished with the death.
11 But you say: If a man say to his father or his mother: That which you could profit from me is Corban, that means, it belongs to God,
12 then you dispense him to do anything for his father or his mother;
13 invalidating the word of God through your own tradition, which you have transmitted; and you do many such things like this.
14 He called the multitude to him again: Hear me all of you and understand.
15 There is nothing outside of the man, which going inside him, is able to dishonor him; but the things which come from the man are those which dishonor the man.
16 Whoever has ears to hear, listen to it.
17 When he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 Then he said to them: Don't you understand too? Don't you comprehend that whatever goes into the man from outside, it isn't able to became him
impure
(Spirit – the author);
19 because it doesn't goes into his heart, but into his belly, and it goes to outside? This way, make cleaned all the foods.
20 And he said: That which comes from the man, this becomes him
impure
.
21 Because evil thoughts, prostitution, thefts, murders, adultery, avarice, malices, frauds,
22 sensuality, envy, blasphemies, pride, foolishness comes from inside, from the heart of men.
23 All these evil things are originated inside and they dishonor the man. (Mark, VII, 1-23).
88. The law of Moses was clear: whoever did violate any of the ten commandments of the Decalogue was punished with the death. It is correct to wash the aliments, but pharisees had created customs that violated the divine law. If someone eats a poisoned aliment and dies, this will not become him an impure Spirit. But that who killed him is an impure and dishonored Spirit. Whoever violates falsely other's honor becomes dishonored. The pharisees accused the disciples of Jesus of eating with dirty hands, but they had sins. When Jesus talked to the people, the jew doctors thought they would be accused and they became dishonored, impure, full of hate of Jesus, but they couldn't do anything for fear to be died.
XLV – The feast of the tents of the ark of the covenant of the Lord
1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee because he didn't want to walk in Judaea, because the jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the feast of the jews, called feast of tabernacles was nearby.
3 So his brothers said to him: Leave this place and go to Judaea, for that your disciples also may see the works you do.
4 Because
none who seeks to be known publicly accomplishes his works privately
. If you do these things, manifest yourself to the world.
5 Because even his brothers didn't believe in him.
6 Jesus therefore said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always present.
7 The world can't hate you; but it hates me, because I witness of the world, that its works are evil.
8 Go up to the feast; I don't go up to this feast for this time; because my time isn't yet fulfilled.
9 He said these things to them and he remained in Galilee. (John, VII, 1-9).
89. It wasn't time to Jesus to go. He would go for thinking when his brothers would have arrived. He knew that many jews felt envy and hate for him and it was right he never made anything secretly. Jesus wasn't afraid.
10 But when his brothers were gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but privately.
11 The jews therefore sought him at the feast and asked: Where would he be?
12 And there was much whispering among the multitudes concerning him. Some said: He is a good man. Others said: Not so, but he deceives the people.
13 However no man spoke publicly about him for fear of the jews.
14 But when it was now in the middle of the feast Jesus went up in the temple, and taught.
15 Then the jews marveled saying: How come he knows letters, without having studied?
16 Jesus answered them: My teaching isn't mine, but belongs to him who sent me.
17 If any man wants to do his will, he will know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, the same is true, and there isn't injustice in him.
19 Didn't Moses give you the law? However none among you follow the law. Why do you seek to kill me?
20 The multitude answered: You have a demon. Who does seek to kill you?
21 Jesus answered them: I did one work and you all marvel.
22 Moses had given you circumcision (not Moses', but patriarch's); and you circumcise a man on the saturday.
23 If a man is circumcised on the saturday, for that the law of Moses don't be violated; are you angry against me, because I healed whole a man on the saturday?
24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Some from Jerusalem said: Isn't this he whom they seek to kill?
26 Lo, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Perhaps do the authorities recognize indeed that this is, in fact, the Christ?
27 However we know where this man come from; but when the Christ comes, none will know from where he is.
28 Jesus cried in the temple, teaching: You know me and where I come from; I didn't come because I myself wanted it, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know.
29 I know him; because I come from him and he sent me.
30
Thus they sought to arrest him; but none put his hand on him, because his hour wasn't yet come
.
31 But many among the multitude believed in him and said: When the Christ will come, will he do more signs than those, which this man has done? (John, VII, 10-31).
90. “ÆThus they sought to arrest him; but none put his because his hour wasn't yet come hand on him, because his hour wasn't yet come.Æ(John, 7:30). Commenting the episode of the attempt of the imprisonment of the Christ, in the Temple, in Jerusalem, registered in the Evangel of John, above-mentioned, Andrew Louis, through the reliable plume of Chico Xavier, makes important revelations about the body of the Christ, confirming the informations published in the book "The Four Evangels", of Roustaing, about the successive materializations and dematerializations passed by the body of Jesus while he was among us. æMechanisms of Mediumnistic QualitiesÆ was published in 1959. Confer, below: æIn Jerusalem, in the temple, Jesus disappears suddenly, dematerializing himself, before all the expectants... In each happening, we feel him governing the matter, dissociating its agents and reintegrating them at his wish, with the collaboration of the spiritual servants who assist his ministry of the light.Æ (page 185)” (retired from the museum Roustaing from the site: www.casarecupbenbm.org.br). Jesus proved to those people, which was filling the temple (whose wall is lamented by the jews because the temple was destroyed) during the feast, that he was the Christ, preaching publicly and despairing, when they wanted to arrest him, at the sight of the multitude. The proof of this is the content of the handwritten letter of Chico Xavier which the Magazine REFORMADOR of march of 1983, transcribes in its page 77, whose content we reproduce in part: Uberaba, 30-10-70. Dear friend Doctor. Armando de Assis Oliveira: Bless us, God. I received your esteemed letter of 21 of this month and I believe having understood your appreciated consultation which represents a natural taken of position, concerning to your new responsibilities in your investiture, in the direction of the FEB. Acknowledging you attention, I inform the dear friend that the whole works psycographed by me and published by FEB were delivered to you according instructions of the authors and spiritual directors. The House Mater of the Spiritism in Brazil give them to the flame, in all editions, with integral and absolute respect to the original texts, by me prepared, according to the thought of the spiritual authors, being the eventual modifications happened in new editions occurred where spontaneous alterations promoted by the same spiritual authors according questions done by the direction of the FEB, in the aim of clearing more expressivenessly this or that matter. The doubts which are able to remain related to the published texts will have origin, therefore, or in the attributable faults due to my fallibility of mediator, or in the impossibility, enough known of our speech to reproduce, reliably, the thought of the spiritual authors. Very recognized, the friend of always. Francisco Cândido Xavier.
32 The pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the main priests and the pharisees sent guards to arrest him.
33 Jesus said to them: I will stay while with you then I go to him who sent me.
34 You will search me, but you won't encounter me; where I am, you can't come.
35 The jews therefore said among themselves: To where will this man go for that we won't encounter him? Will he go to the Diaspora (dispersion, vanishing) of the greeks in order to teach the greeks?
36 What does his word mean when he said: You will seek me but you won't encounter me; and where I am, you can't come? (John, VII, 32-36).
91. Jesus was invisible and intangible, but audible. The priests of the temple of Jerusalem ordered the guards to arrest him because he preached He was the Christ. However, it isn't possible to arrest an intangible Spirit.
37 In the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried, saying: If anyone is thirst, come to me and drink.
38 He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, from himself inside will flow rivers of living water.
39 This he spoke about the Spirit, who they who believe in him would receive; cause the Spirit wasn't yet given; because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.
40 Then some of the multitude, when they heard these words, said: This is truly the prophet.
41 Others said: He is the Christ. But some said: How come the Christ is from Galilee?
42 Doesn't the scripture says the Christ comes from the seed (descent) of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was born?
43 So a discussion among the assembly grew because of him.
44 Some of them wanted to jail him; but none put hands on him.
45 The guards therefore came to the main priests and pharisees. These said to them: Why didn't you bring him?
46 The guards answered: None has ever spoken as this man.
47 The pharisees replied them: Are you also deceived?
48 Perhaps did any among the authorities or the pharisees believe in him?
49 But this multitude who doesn't know the law is slandered.
50
Nicodemus, one of them, (who had come to Jesus before) asked them
:
51 Does
our law judge a man, except if he is first heard to know what he did
?
52 They answered: Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that a prophet doesn't come from Galilee.
53 And each one went to his own house. (John, VII, 37-53).
92. The rivers of living water are the universal fluids, which flows from the spiritual passers and from the magnetizers. The people was convinced that He was the Christ and now they were asking if He was son of David, if He was adapted to the prophecies concerning the Messiah (in greek: Christ). "A scalded cat dreads cold water": the guards didn't arrest him because they knew He would disappear again. Nicodemus, the same one who Jesus had enlightened about the reembodiment, defends Jesus affirming He had right of defense. The jews went out defeated without doing what they wanted: to captivate Jesus. To incarcerate the proper God.
XLVI – Jesus and the adulteress
14 You won't commit adultery. (Exodus, XX, 14).
18 You will not commit adultery. (Deuteronomy, V, 18).
10 The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, even he who committed adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress will surely be put to die. (Leviticus, XX, 10).
22 If a man is encountered lying with a woman married to a husband, then they both will die: the man who lay with the woman and the woman; so you will put away the evil from Israel. (Deuteronomy, XXII, 22).
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people came to him and sat down he taught them.
3 The scribes and the pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery; and they put her in the middle of them all.
4 They said to him: Master, this woman has been taken in adultery, in the act.
5 In the law Moses commanded us to stone such: What then do you say about her?
6 This they said, trying him, for that they have a reason to accuse him. But Jesus inclined himself and wrote with his finger on the ground.
7 But as they insisted on asking him, he stood up and said to them: He who is without sin among you, throw the first stone on her.
8 And again he inclined himself and wrote with his finger on the ground.
9 But they, when they heard this answer, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even to the last. Jesus was left lonely with the woman who was in the middle.
10 Jesus stood up and said to her: Woman, where are they? Didn't the men condemn you?
11 She said: No man, Lord. Then Jesus said: I also don't condemn you. Go away! And don't sin anymore from now on. (John, VIII, 1-11).
93. The pharisees didn't bring the adulterer to Jesus. The pharisees had accused the apostles of eating with dirty hands and Jesus appointed the pharisees'sins privately. This time Jesus wrote the their sins on the earth. Then they went away in order not to be accused by Jesus and dead as the accused woman. Jesus has already said: “But I say to you, the one who looks to a woman and desires her, has already committed adultery with her in one's heart.” (Matthew, V, 28). Who among us has never committed adultery according to Jesus?! Who among us is without sin? “That who does the profession of
worshiping the Christ
, and who is proud, envious, and
jealous
, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this world, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart." (654 of SB). Are you without sins? Are you worth in order to apply the death sentence? Would you do the same that Herodias did to John the Baptist?
XLVII – Jesus preaches in the temple and He is condemned to death again
12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world; he who follows me won't walk in the darkness, but he will have the light of the life.
13 But the pharisees objected: You witness about yourself; your witness is not true.
14 Jesus answered them: Even if I witness about myself, my witness is true; for that I know from where I came and where I go to; but you don't know from where I come or to where I will go.
15
You judge according to the flesh
; I don't judge any man.
16 If I judge, my judgment is true; cause I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 In your law it is written, that
the witness of two men is true
.
18 I
witness concerning myself, and the Father, who sent me, witnesses concerning me
.
19 Then they asked him: Where is your Father? Jesus answered: You know not even me, nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father too.
20 These words he spoke in the treasury, while he taught in the temple; and none arrest him, because his hour wasn't come yet. (John, VIII, 12-20).
94. Jesus says they judge according to the flesh, because they don't comprehend the life of the Spirit. Jesus says that the Father is an alive man who witnesses for Jesus. Jesus and the Father are one.
21 He talked and said to them: I will go away, and you will seek me, but you will perish in your sin. Where I go, you can't come.
22 The jews said: Will he commit suicide? Cause he said: Where I go, you can't come?
23 He said: You are from beneath;
I am from above
;
you belong to this world
;
I'm not in this world
.
24 I said therefore to you, that you will die in your sins; because if you don't believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.
25 Then they asked him: Who are you? Jesus answered them: What have I spoken to you from the principle?
26 I have many things to judge and to speak concerning you;
however he who sent me is true
; and the things which I heard from him, these I speak to the world.
27 They didn't perceive that he spoke to them about the Father.
28 So Jesus said: When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do nothing by myself; but I speak as the Father taught me.
29
He who sent me is with me; he didn't leave me alone; cause I always do the things which are agreeable to him
.
30 Many believed in him while he spoke these things. (John, VIII, 21-30).
95. Jesus is from above: “We can place in the first (prime) degree these who arrived to the perfection: the pure Spirits.” (97 of SB). “Isn't the whole of the Spirits forming everything? Isn't everything a world?” (151 of SB). “All the Spirits are united among themselves; I speak about these who has arrived to the perfection.” (300 of SB). “These of the same degree meet themselves for some kind of affinity and they form groups or families of Spirits united by the sympathy and the goal (end) they propose themselves:” (278 of SB). “The union exists among all the Spirits, but as the different degrees according to the degree that they occupy, this means, according to the perfection which they have acquired: the more they are perfect, the more they are united.” (298 of SB). Jesus comes from a divine world of supremely perfect Spirits. Those spirits never abandon Him.
31 So Jesus said to those jews who had believed him: If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples;
32 and
you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free
.
33 They answered him: We are Abraham's seed (descent), and have never yet been slave of any man: How do you say: You will be free?
34 Jesus replied them: Truly, truly, I say to you:
Every one who commits sin is a slave of the sin
.
35 But the slave doesn't remain in the house eternally; the son remains eternally.
36 If therefore the Son will become you free, you will be indeed free.
37 I know that you are Abraham's seed (descent); however, you yet seek to kill me, because my word isn't inside you.
38 I speak about the things, which I have seen with my Father; but you do the things, which you saw with your father.
39 Then they answered him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them: If you were Abraham's sons, you practice the works of Abraham.
40 But now you seek to kill me, who have told you the truth, which I heard from God. This isn't an Abraham's work.
41 You do the works of your father. They said to him: We are not adulterine sons; we have one Father who is God.
42 Jesus replied them: If God were your Father, you would love me; because I came from God and here I AM; cause I didn't come for myself, but he sent me.
43 Why don't you understand my speech? It is because you are unable to hear my word.
44 You have the devil for father; and you want to satisfy his desires.
He was a killer from the beginning and he has never remained in the truth
, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks about what is proper of him, cause he is a liar, and father of the falsehood.
45 But because I say the truth, you don't believe in me. (John, VIII, 31-45).
16 I
will bless Sarah
and more I will give you a son from her.
Yes,
I will
bless
her and
she will be the mother of the nations
; kings of peoples will come from her.
17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and
laughed
, and said in his heart: Will a child be born to him who is a hundred years old? And will Sarah, who is ninety years old, deliver a baby? (Genesis, XVII, 16-17).
12 Sarah
laughed
within herself, saying to herself: After my lord and I are both waxed old will we have pleasure?
13 Then the Lord said to Abraham: Why did Sarah
laugh
, saying: Will I indeed have a baby being an old woman?
14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? In season I will be back to you and Sarah will have a son.
15 Then Sarah denied afraid, saying:
I didn't laugh
. But God said: Not thus, it is certain that you did laugh. (Genesis, XVIII, 12-15).
28 And he came in to her, and said: Hail, you full of grace, the Lord is with you.
You are blessed among women
.
29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary:
because you found grace in face of God
. (Luke, I, 28-30).
7 Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham: My father! And he said: Here I AM, my son! And he said: Lo the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the
holocaust
(sacrifice)?
9 And they came to the place which God had told to him; and Abraham built an
altar
there, and put the wood in order, and Abraham tied his son Isaac, and laid him on the
altar
, over the wood.
10 And Abraham extended his hand, and took the knife to kill his son Isaac. (Genesis, XXII, 7, 9 e 10).
96. The pure Spirit is the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of the Truth. The pure Spirits always speak the truth, cause this is a characteristic of their speech. But those jews were devils, demons, impure Spirits and few advanced, as the proper Abraham, who they considered as their father. Abraham was so kind that he would sacrifice his own son for God. A son who was born from Sarah, who would be reembodied as Mary, mother of Jesus, mother of God, blessed mother of all the men. “In the material life, such as you practice in the most part, if you offer a gift to any one, you choose it always with a worth as greater as you want to witness more affection and consideration to the person.” (669 of SB). The human sacrifices have source “in a false idea of being agreeable to God. Look to Abraham. In consequence, the men had abused in sacrificing their enemies, even their private enemies. Actually, God has never required sacrifices, neither of animals, not even of men; He can't be
honored
by the useless destruction of his proper creature.” (669, II, of SB).
46 Who among you does convict me of having sin? If I say the truth, why don't you believe in me?
47 He who is from God hears the words of God; for this cause you don't hear his words, because you don't come from God.
48 The jews answered: Don't we say well when we say that you are a samaritan and that you have a demon?
49 Jesus replied: I don't have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you
dishonor
me.
50 But I don't seek my own glory; there is someone who seeks and judges.
51 Truly, truly I say to you:
If someone keeps my word, he will never see the death eternally
.
52 The jews said to him: Now we are sure that you have a demon. Abraham died, and also the prophets; and you say: If a man keep my word, he will never taste the death eternally.
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too. Who do you make yourself be?
54 Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; I AM glorified by my Father; who you say that he is your God.
55 However you haven't known him; but I know him. If I said that I don't know him, I would be like you: a liar; but I know him and I keep his word.
56 Abraham, your father, rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and he was glad.
57 So the jews asked him: You are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?
58 Jesus answered them: Truly, truly I say to you:
Before Abraham was born, I AM
.
59 Then they caught rocks to stone him; but Jesus occulted himself; and he went out of the temple,
passing through the middle among them
. This way he got out. (John, VIII, 46-59).
14 And God said to Moses:
I AM WHO I AM
. And more: Thus you will say to the sons of Israel:
I AM
sent me to you.
15 And God said more to Moses: Thus you will say to the children of Israel: The Lord, the God of your fathers (patriarchs), the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you;
this is my name eternally
, and this is my memorial to all
generations
. (Exodus, III, 14-15).
31 In that instant certain pharisees came to say to him: Get out and go from here, because Herod wants to kill you.
32 But he said to them: Go and say to that fox that, today I cast out demons, tomorrow I make cures, and in the third day
I AM
perfect.
33 However I must walk on my way today and tomorrow and the day after; because it isn't expected that a prophet dies out of Jerusalem.
34 Oh! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kills the prophets, and stones them who are sent to you! How often did I want to join your children, as the chicken joins her chicks under her wings, but you didn't want?!
35 Behold, your house will be desolate for you. Truly I say to you: You will not see me until you will say: Praised is he who comes in the name of the Lord! (Luke, XIII, 31-35).
97. The jews had reason. Jesus had a demon, because demon in greek means: good or evil genie, spirit or god. Jesus says that the life is eternal. We didn't have a principle in the time and we won't have an end in the time. Jesus is God before Abraham's birth. Again Jesus became intangible at the sight of the people who had convicted him to die through dilapidation, but they didn't reach to touch him, again, inside their temple. The jews worshiped to kill their enemies. They thought that acting thus they would be agreeable to God. But Jesus is a Creator God and affectionate who creates his sheeps as the chicken creates his tender chicks. Jesus says that He is I AM and I AM is the God, the angel who was sent to Moses. Because Jesus is who He is. Jesus is God.
XLVIII – Jesus makes new healings
26 God also said: We will make the man according to our image, in conformity with our likeness; (Genesis, I, 26).
7 Then the Lord God formed the man from
the clay of the ground
and he blew the exhalation of the life in his nostrils; and the man became a living soul. (Genesis, II, 7).
1 As he walked, he saw a man blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him: Master, who
sinned
, this man, or his parents,
for that he had been born blind
?
3 Jesus answered: Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but
for that the works of God would be manifest in him
.
4 We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night comes and none can work at night.
5 While I am in the world,
I AM the light of the world
.
6 Spoken that, he spat on the
ground
, and made
clay
with the spittle, and
anointed
(Messiah, Christ) his eyes with the clay.
7 He said to him: Go, wash yourself in the pool of Siloam (which means:
Sent
). He went, washed himself and came seeing.
8 Then the neighbors, and those who knew him by sight, as a beggar, asked: Isn't he who was sat and begging alms?
9 Others said: It is he. Others said: No, but he is alike him. But he said: I am that.
10 They asked him: How were your eyes opened?
11 He answered: The man who is called Jesus made clay,
anointed
my eyes and said to me: Go to Siloam, and wash yourself. So I went, washed and I received the
light
.
12 They said to him: Where is he? He said: I don't know.
13 They brought him who was blind to the pharisees.
14 It was saturday the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15 Again the pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he answered them: He
anointed
clay on my eyes, I washed myself and I see.
16 Some among the pharisees said: This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the saturday. But others said: How can a man who is a sinner do such signs? And there was division among them.
17 They asked the blind man again: What do you say concerning him who opened your eyes? He said: He is a prophet.
18 But the jews didn't believe that he had been blind, and had received his sight, while they didn't call his parents.
19 They asked them: Is this your son, who you say that he was born blind? How come he sees now?
20 His parents answered: We know this is our son and that he was born blind.
21 But we don't know how he sees now; or who opened his eyes. We don't know this too. Ask him; he is of age; he will speak for himself.
22 His parents said these things, because they feared the jews; for that the jews had already agreed, that if any man would confess that Jesus is the Christ, he would be cast out of the synagogue.
23 Therefore his parents said: He is of age; ask him.
24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him: Give glory to God: we know that that man is a sinner.
25 He answered: I don't know if he is a sinner. I know one thing: I was blind but now I see.
26 They asked him: What did he do to you? How did he open you eyes?
27 He answered them: I have already told you, but you didn't hear; why do you want to hear it again? Perhaps do you also want to become his disciples too?
28 So they injured him and said: You are his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses; but we know not even where he is from.
30 The man answered: This is a prodigy that you don't know where he is from; however thus he yet opened my eyes.
31 We
know that God doesn't hear sinners; but if any man worships God, and do God's will, he hears him
.
32 Since
the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind
.
33 If
this man
were not from God, he couldn't do anything
.
34 The jews replied: You were whole born in sins, and you teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out. Meeting him, he said: Do you believe in the Son of God?
36 He answered: Who is he, Lord, for that I believe in him?
37 Jesus said to him: You have already seen him. I AM him who talks to you.
38 He said: Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 Jesus said:
I came to this world for judgment, in order to that they who don't see: they will see; and those who see become blind
.
40 Some of the pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they asked him: Are we also blind?
41 Jesus answered: If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say: We see. So your sin remains. (John, IX, 1-41).
22 Then they come to Bethsaida, and brought to him a blind man. They asked him to touch him.
23 Taking the blind man by the hand, he left him out of the village; and when he applied spittle on his eyes, and
setting his hands over him
, he asked him: Do you see something?
24 He searched and said: I see men; because I see them as the
trees
: walking.
25 Then again
he set his hands over his eyes
; and he saw clearly, and was restored, and he distinguished everything perfectly.
26 He sent him away to his home, saying: Don't go in the village. (Mark, VIII, 22-26).
10 The ax has already been placed at the root of the trees:
each tree
therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut off, and thrown into the fire. (Matthew, III, 10).
98. The disciples asked Jesus if the blind had sinned before being reembodied. Lo, they believed in the reincarnation and in the law of cause and effect. They knew that the sins can provoke defects in the body of the Spirit who reborns. But Jesus said he didn't have sins. He was blind to prove the works of Jesus. Jesus comes to bring the justice: he cured the blindness of he who believed in him. However, those who doubt and are blind guides who will be blind men in the next reembodiment. That is the law of cause and effect.
31 Again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the territory of Decapolis.
32 They brought to him one who was deaf and dumb; and they asked him
to set his hands over him
.
33 He took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers in his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue with the spittle;
34 and looking up to the heaven, he sighed, and said to him: Ephphatha! Which means: Be opened!
35 His ears were opened, and the obstacle of his tongue was taken off, and he spoke freely.
36 He
ordered them that they wouldn't tell any man; however the more he prescribed them, the more they published that
.
37 They were surprised and said: He has done all things well; farther he makes the deaf to hear, he also makes the dumb to speak. (Mark, VII, 31-37).
99. Jesus used his magnetism to cure and He interdicted that they commented the cures He did. We must never divulge the good we do. On the contrary. We must prohibit divulging the charity.
21 Jesus went out from there. He went to the sides of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Lo a canaanitish woman came from those borders, and cried, saying: Oh! Lord! Son of David! Have mercy on me! My daughter is painfully demonized.
23 But he didn't answer her a word. And his disciples approached and asked for him: Order her away, because she cries after us.
24 But he answered:
I wasn't sent except to the lost lambs of the house of Israel
.
25 But she came and worshipped him: Lord, succor me!
26 He answered: It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the puppies.
27 But she replied: Yes, Lord.
But even the doggies eat crumbs, which fall from their masters' table
.
28 Then Jesus answered to her: Oh! Woman, your faith is great! It will be done as you want. And her daughter was healed from that moment. (Matthew, XV, 21-28).
24 He stood up and went away from there to the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and he wanted that no man knew that; but he couldn't occult himself.
25 Suddenly a woman, whose little daughter had an impure spirit, having heard concerning him, came and fell down at his feet.
26 This woman was a greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She asked him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 But he said to her: Let the children be filled first, for that it isn't good to take the children's bread to cast it to the puppies.
28 But she answered him: Yes, Lord!
But even the doggies eat the children's crumbs under the table
.
29 He said to her: Cause of this word, you can go; the demon left your daughter.
30 She went to her house, and met the child lain over the bed, cause the demon had gone. (Mark, VII, 24-30).
11 On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
12 As he entered in a village, ten men lepers went to meet him. They stood far from him
13 and said aloud: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!
14 When he saw them, he said: Go and show yourselves to the priests. It happened, while they went, that they were cured.
15 One of the ten, when he saw he was healed, turned back glorifying God aloud;
16 and he fell over his face at Jesus'feet, acknowledging him; this was a samaritan.
17 Jesus asked: Weren't ten cured men? Where are the nine?
18 Perhaps didn't anyone return to give glory to God, except this foreigner?
19 He said to him: Stand up and go your way; your faith saved you. (Luke, XVII, 11-19).
100. Jesus has mercy concerning the foreign greek woman who gives crumbs to the animals. Lo we also were animals and we must have mercy about the inferior beings of the creation. We must practice the material charity not only to the mendicants who beg crumbs, but also to the animals, which also like the food, which is excessive. Charity according Jesus is: “Benevolence for the whole world, indulgence for others'imperfections, pardon of the offenses.” (886 of SB). “God takes care Himself of all beings He has created, the most little they are; nothing is too much few for His kindness.” (963 of SB). “We can thus distinguish: 1
st
, the inanimate (spiritless) beings formed only of matter, without vitality or intelligence: these are the brute bodies; 2
nd
, the animate not-thinking beings, formed of matter and endowed of vitality, but unfurnished of intelligence; 3
rd
, the animate thinking beings, formed of matter, endowed of vitality and having else an intelligent principle who gives the faculty of thinking to them.” (Allan Kardec, 71 of SB). The love of God encircles all the beings of the creation. God doesn't despise any being, neither the little plant, nor the cool stone. Everything, which God creates, is worth of being loved. We must love all the creation, which is perfect. Respecting the Nature, the Ecology and the environment is practicing charity. From ten lepers just one came back to glorify Jesus. “When anything happy reaches us, is our protective Spirit who we must acknowledge? Acknowledge God above all, without whose permission nothing is done; and then, the good spirits who have been His agents. What would reach us if we neglected to acknowledge? That which reaches the ingrates. However, are there persons who don't ask for, neither acknowledge but who succeed in all? Yes, but it is convenient to see the end. They will pay very expensive this ephemeral adventure which they don't deserve, because the more they have received, the more they will have to replace.” (535 of SB).
XLIX – The parable of the rich and miserly man and the beggar Lazarus
19 Now there was a certain rich man who used to clothe himself in purple and fine linen, eating sumptuously every day:
20 There was also a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of festers, who was laid at his door;
21 and
he wanted to be fed with the crumbs, which fell from the rich man's table
; yea, even the doggies came and licked his festers.
22 It happened that the beggar died, and he was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was sepulchered.
23 In Hades (the hell of the greeks, read "The Odyssey" of Homero, the greek), being in torments, he lifted his eyes up, and he saw Abraham far, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 He said aloud: Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to wet the point of his finger in water in order to refresh my tongue; because I am afflicted in this flame.
25 But Abraham said: Son, remember that you received good things in your life, but Lazarus equally the evil things; but now he is consoled here, and you are afflicted.
26 Besides all this, there is a great
abyss
between you and us, in such way that they, who want to pass from here to you, are not able, neither none can cross from there to us.
27 Then he replied: I pray to you, father, that you send him to my father's house;
28 because I have five brothers; for that he will witness to them, in order to that they also won't come to this place of torment.
29 But Abraham said: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 But he insisted: No, father Abraham; but if one among the dead will talk to them, they will regret.
31 But Abraham answered him: If they don't hear Moses and the prophets, neither they will be persuaded, even one from the dead resuscitates. (Luke, XVI, 19-31).
101. The beggar Lazarus wanted only the crumbs, which fell from the table of the rich, but the avaricious man didn't give anything to him. “Why does God favor certain men, who don't seem that they have merit, with the gifts of riches? It is a favor to the eyes of those who see only the present; but, know it well, riches is often a proof more dangerous than misery.” (925 of SB). “Do you envy the joys of those who seem the happy ones of the world to you? But do you know what is reserved against them? If they joy only for themselves, they are selfish, than,
the reverse will come
. Complain of them quickly. God sometimes permits the bad to prosper, but his prosperity is, not to be desired, because he will pay for it with bitter weeping and gnashing of teeth. If a righteous man undergoes unhappy, it is a trial which will be counted if he supports it bravely. Remember the words of Jesus: 'Well-beatified are sufferers: because they will be consoled." (926 of SB). Concerning those who let themselves to die of hunger, The Book of the Spirits says: “However, don't believe he will be entirely absolved if he lost firmness and perseverance, and if he didn't make use of all his intelligence to pull out of the bog. Uneasiness above all to him if his desperation was born from the pride. I say to you, if he is one of these men whose pride paralyses the resources of the intelligence, who redden to owe their existence to the work of their hands, and who prefer to die of hunger before derogating to this they call their social position!” (947 of SB). Will the proud one, the avaricious one and the selfish one conform in living in
the reverse
? “The bad rich man will demand alms there, and will be a prey to all the privations of misery; the proud one all humiliations; that who has abused of his authority, and treated his subordinates with disdain and hardness, will be forced there to obey a master still harder than himself hasn't been.” (983 of SB). "This which the man piles through an
honest
work is legitimate property which he has the right to defend," (Allan Kardec, 882 of SB). "There isn't legitimate property except this which is acquired without prejudice for other." (884 of SB). "Is the desire of possessing inside the nature? Yes; but when it is only for himself, and for your personal satisfaction, it is selfishness." (883 of SB). "There are insatiable men who accumulate without profit for anyone, or for satiating their passions. Do you believe that this is well seen by God? That, on the contrary, who piles through his work, in order to come to aid his similar ones, practices the law of love and charity, and his work is praised by God." (883, II, of SB). For accumulating goods the man "must do it in family, as the bee, through an honest work, and not to pile as a selfish one. Certain actual animals give example of social insurance for them." (881 of SB). Chico Xavier was a great bee who collected honey from his spiritist flowers in order to accumulate in his beehive. When he was a boy his stepmother made Chico Xavier lick the festers of an old man. It was his first cure done by him. Then wasn't Jesus who sent Chico resuscitating from the dead to refresh the soul of the men? Didn't Jesus resurrect a man called Lazarus? And didn't the own Jesus resurrect from the dead? Not even this way the men believed in them.
L – Jesus multiplies breads and fishes again
29 Jesus got out from there, and came next to the sea of Galilee; and he went up to the mountain, and sat there.
30 And
great multitudes came to him, bringing the lame, maimed, blind, dumb ones and many others with them, and they left them under his feet; and he healed them
.
31 Such that the multitude surprised, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed cured, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. Then they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Jesus called to him his disciples and said: I have mercy on the multitude, because they continue with me for three days and they have nothing to eat; and I don't want to send them away fasting, for that they don't faint on the way.
33 But the disciples said to him: Where will there be so many breads in this desert place to fill so great multitude?
34 Jesus said to them: How many breads do you have? They said:
Seven, and a few small fishes
.
35 Then he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 He took the seven breads and the fishes; and he acknowledged and divided, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
37 They ate all and were filled; and they collected seven baskets full of remained divided pieces.
38 They who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 And he sent away the multitudes, and entered in the boat, and went to the borders of
Magadan
. (Matthew, XV, 29-39).
1 In those days, when there was a great multitude again, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him, and said to them:
2 I have pity on the multitude, because they are with me for three days, and they have nothing to eat.
3 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way; and some of them came from far.
4 But his disciples answered him: Where will one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place?
5 He asked them: How many breads do you have? They said:
Seven
.
6 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. He took the seven breads, and having acknowledged, he divided, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.
7 They had a few
small fishes
; and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them.
8 They ate and were filled; and they took up seven baskets of remained divided pieces.
9 They were about four thousand men. And he sent them away.
10 And straightway he entered in the boat with his disciples, and came to the parts of Dalmanutha. (Mark, VIII, 1-10).
102. Always after preaching Jesus used to cure and he healed so many that the evangelists didn't have time to write. Once again Jesus ectoplasmed breads and fluid fishes which fed the Spirits of those men thirst and starving of Jesus.
1 The pharisees and sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 But he answered to them: When it is evening, you say: It will be good weather, because the heaven is red.
3 In the morning: It will be bad weather today, because the heaven is red and cloudy. You know how to discern the face of the heaven; but you can't discern the signs of the times.
4 An evil and adulterous
generation
asks for a sign; but no sign will be given to you, except the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and went away.
5 And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread.
6 Jesus said to them: Pay attention and be cautious concerning the leaven of the pharisees and sadducees.
7 They reasoned among themselves, saying: We took no bread.
8 Perceiving it Jesus said: Oh! Men who believe few!
Why do you reason among yourselves concerning having no bread
?
9 Don't you understand yet, don't you remember the five breads for the five thousand, how many baskets did you take up?
10 Neither the seven breads for the four thousand, how many baskets did you take up?
11 How come you don't comprehend that I didn't speak to you concerning breads? But be cautious concerning the leaven of the pharisees and sadducees.
12 Finally they understood no t to be cautious against leaven of breads, but against the doctrine of the pharisees and sadducees. (Matthew, XVI, 1-12).
38 Then certain scribes and pharisees replied: Master, we want to see a sign from you.
39 But he answered: An evil and adulterous
generation
asks for a sign; but there will be given no sign, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
40 Because as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the shark-whale; so the Son of man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh will resuscitate with this
generation
in the judgment, and they will condemn it; because they regretted at the preaching of Jonah. Lo, here is who is greater than Jonah.
42 The queen of the south will resurrect with this
generation
in the judgment, and she will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. Lo here is who is greater than Solomon. (Matthew, XII, 38-42).
11 The pharisees came and began to discuss with him and trying him they asked a sign from heaven.
12 He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said: Why does this
generation
seek a sign? Truly I say to you, there will be no sign given to this
generation
.
13 He left them, and again entering in the boat went to the other side.
14 They forgot to take bread; and
they hadn't a unique bread with them in the boat
.
15 He warned them, saying: Take heed, beware of the leaven of the pharisees and the leaven of Herod.
16 They reasoned one with another, saying: We have no bread.
17 Perceiving it Jesus said to them: Why do you reason concerning having no bread? Don't you yet comprehend, neither understand? Do you have your heart hardened?
18 Having eyes, don't you see? Having ears, don't you hear? Don't you remember
19 when I divided the five breads among the five thousand? How many baskets full of divided pieces did you take up? They say to him: Twelve.
20 When I divided seven among four thousand, how many basketfuls of divided pieces did you take up? They said to him: Seven.
21 He said to them: Don't you understand yet? (Mark, VIII, 11-21).
16 Others, trying him, asked a sign from heaven for him.
29 When the multitudes were assembled he began to say: This
generation
is an evil
generation
! It asks for a sign; but it will be given no sign to it, but the sign of Jonah.
30 Because as Jonah was a sign to the ninevites, so the Son of man will also be a sign to this
generation
.
31 The queen of the south will resurrect with the men of this
generation
in the judgment, and she will condemn them; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. Lo here is who is greater than Solomon.
32 The men from Nineveh will resuscitate with this
generation
in the judgment, and they will condemn it; because they sorrowed before the preaching of Jonah. Behold here is who is greater than Jonah. (Luke, XI, 16 e 29-32).
1 In the meanwhile, when many thousands of the multitude were assembled together, such that they trampled one on another, he began to say to his disciples: First of all, be cautious against the leaven of the pharisees, which is hypocrisy. (Luke, XII, 1).
103. The pharisees and sadducees asked a signal for Jesus. It was their leaven. They expected to reach bread provoking Jesus. But they wasn't hungry neither thirsty of Jesus, for that Jesus didn't supply fluid bread to them. Jesus is the unique bread. The cross is the signal, which Jesus gave concerning regeneration (resurrection, reembodiment, reincarnation). So Jesus is the alive bread who gave his flesh and his blood as a signal of the judgement of the men. Cause it is necessary that a generation replaces the other in order the men become regenerated.
LI – Jesus and His assembly
13 When Jesus came to the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying: Who do men say that the Son of man is?
14 They said: Some say: John the Baptist; some: Elijah; and others: Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 He said to them: But who do you say that I AM?
16 Simon Peter answered: You are the Christ, the
Son of the living God
.
17 Jesus answered: You are well-beatified, Simon Bar-jonah; because it hasn't been revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father who is in heaven.
18 I also say to you, that you are Peter (means stone), and I will build my
assembly
over this stone; and the gates of Hades won't preponderate against it.
19 I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and
whatever you will unite on earth will be united in heaven; and whatever you will untie on earth will be untied in heaven
.
20 Then he warned the disciples to say to none that he was the Christ.
21 From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things under the elders, main priests and scribes, and be killed, and resurrect in the third day.
22 Peter called him apart, and began to reprove him, saying: Have mercy on you, Lord; this will never happen to you!
23 But he turned, and said to Peter:
Get out of my back, Satan! You are a stone of scandal to me, because you don't mind the things of God, but yes the things of men
. (Matthew, XVI, 13-23).
18 As he was praying apart, the disciples were with him, and he asked them: Who do the multitudes say that I AM?
19 They answered: John the Baptist; but others say: Elijah; and others, that
one of the old prophets resurrected
.
20 He said: But who do you say that I AM? Peter answered: You are the Christ of God.
21 But he adverted them and commanded them not to tell this to anyone,
22 saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, main priests and scribes; and be killed, and resurrects in the third day. (Luke, IX, 18-22).
27 Then Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and he asked his disciples on the way: Who do men say that I AM?
28 They told him: John the Baptist; and others: Elijah; but others: One of the prophets.
29 He asked them: But who do you say that I AM? Peter answered: You are the Christ.
30 He warned them that they would tell such thing concerning him to none.
31 He began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and resurrects three days after.
32 He spoke this clearly. But Peter called him apart, and began to reprove him.
33 But he turned against him and seeing his disciples, said: Get out of my back, Satan! Because you don't mind the things of God, but the things of men. (Mark, VIII, 27-33).
18 While he was praying apart, the disciples were with him, and he asked them: Who do the multitudes say that I AM?
19 They answered: John the Baptist; but others say: Elijah; and others, that
one of the old prophets resuscitated
.
20 He said to them: But who do you say that I AM? Peter answered: The Christ of God.
21 But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no man;
22 saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the main priests and the scribes; and be killed; and he will resurrect in the third day. (Luke, IX, 18-22).
104. Jesus asks the disciples who the people thought He was. Through the answers it was clear that they believed in reembodiment. None among them perceived the words: I AM which is the name of God. Peter answers that Jesus is son of the living God and he answers well. Lo God is alive. He has already been in the world of the men. He is alive, because he lives as Spirit. However, Peter answered well only because he received mediunic communication from the pure Spirit of the heavenly Father. Then Jesus says that Peter is the cornerstone of a christian assembly. With men studious of the Gospel. The evil practiced by impure Spirits, men or devils won't prevail if it is told to this assembly. Lo we must be for the truth. We must tell to the christian assembly all the evil we did, that we are regretted and all the evil we suffer for that the assembly comment. The christian assembly has the keys of the Kingdom. Because the christian assembly knows the words of God which untie diseases and the words which tie punishments. Jesus tells the apostles what is prophesized concerning Him. That He must support privations which men of flesh can't sustain without complaining and He must resuscitate in Spirit, and He is only Spirit without matter. Peter is mercy on Him. Now he is mediunically influenced by the impure spirit of Satan who always looks for the spacious door which guides to the perdition. All of us, as Jesus was, are subjected to the comments of the assembly of the society. With this speech Jesus preaches the resurrection of His imperishable psychosoma. “That the principle of the charity and the fraternity are the base of the social institutions, the legal incomes from people to people and from man to man, and the man will delude less to his person when he will see that others have already deluded; he will suffer moralizing influence from the example and the contact. In presence of this overflowing of selfishness, it is convenient a true virtue to do the abnegation of his personality to the profit of the others, who often don't know any wish. It is to these over all who own this virtue that the kingdom of heavens is opened; to them over all is reserved the welfare of the elects, cause I tell you truly, at the day of the justice, whoever has thought only in himself will be put aside, and he will suffer for his abandonment.” (Fénelon, 917 of SB).
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples:
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself
, and take his cross, and follow me.
25 Therefore whoever want to save his life will lose it; whoever lose his life for my cause will meet it.
26 Cause
what will a man profit, if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul
? Or
what will a man give in order to exchange his soul
?
27 Because the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will repay each one according to his works.
28 Truly I say to you: There are some among you who stand here, who will taste of death noway, till you see the Son of man going in his kingdom. (Matthew, XVI, 24-28).
34 He called the multitude with his disciples to him, and said to them: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take his cross, and follow me.
35 Whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my cause and for gospel's cause will save it.
36 What does a man profit, if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul?
37 What
won't a man give in exchange for his soul
?
38 Because whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful
generation
, the Son of man will also be ashamed of him, when he will come in the glory of his Father with the
holy angels
.
1 He still said to them: Truly I say to you: There are some here among these who stand before me, who won't taste the death noway, till you see the kingdom of God come with might. (Mark, VIII, 34 to IX, 1).
23 He said to all: If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me.
24 Cause whoever want to save his life will lose it; but whoever will lose his life for my cause, the same will save it.
25 Because
what will a man profit, if he gains the whole world, but reach perdition or cause damage to his self
?
26 Because whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of him, when he will come in his own glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the
holy angels
.
27 Truly I tell you: There are some of these who stand here, who will pass through death noway, till they see the kingdom of God. (Luke, IX, 23-27).
27 Whoever doesn't take his own cross, and come after me, can't be my disciple. (Luke, XIV, 27).
105. The cross is a signal or symbol of death. It is also a sign of life. Because each Spirit is a cross. There isn't a mean of not carrying our cross. We must not to occupy ourselves with profits or prejudices. What is money, but a pile of sheets of green paper? We must deny ourselves. We must not to be so selfish. The selfish one occupies only of himself. He is full of self-love. We must be also altruists: do the good to the others. Why do we mind such to the material goods, which can cause the perdition of our soul, of our health? It is clear that material things must be respected. The man who eats too much harms his health and also his soul. Can a man buy a new soul using material goods? It is foolishness to think that one can buy (simony) terrains in the heaven (indulgences) giving goods to any christian association. The donations won't save the soul of any addict. We are adulterers and sinners and we occupy ourselves only in material things, aren't we? We must not to be ashamed of Jesus, because we don't have money. It isn't important for Jesus if we have or we don't have money. It is important for Him how we use the money. We must be ashamed of being sinners. But one day we will dematerialize ourselves and we will be with the Holy ones, the angels, the Holy Spirits. We will be one of them: we, sons of men, are sons of God. Jesus doesn't expect that we make sacrifices, that we make barbecue of men or animals irrigated with alcoholic drink. What do we profit causing harm to ourselves? Carrying the cross is to defend the Evangel and not to submit oneself to unnecessary suffering caused by the abuses of feeding.
LII – The transfiguration of Jesus
9 When you are come into the land which the Lord your God gave to you, you will not learn to do the abominations of those nations.
10 There will not be found with you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that uses soothsaying, one that practises augury, or an enchanter, or a witch doctor,
11 or a charmer, or
a consulter with a familiar spirit
, or a wizard, or a
necromancer
.
12 Because whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord; and because of these abominations the Lord, your God, does drive them out from before you.
13 You will be perfect like the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy, XVIII, 9-13).
5
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams will be dead
, because he has spoken rebellion against the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of servitude, to put you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in. So you will
put away the evil from the middle of you
. (Deuteronomy, XIII, 5).
1 Six days after Jesus took with him Peter, and the brothers James and John, and brought them up to a high mountain apart.
2 And he was transfigured before them; his face glittered as the sun, and
his clothes became white as the light
.
3 And
behold Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking to him
.
4 Then Peter said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you want, I will make here three tents: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.
5 While he was yet talking, suddenly, a bright cloud encircled them; and lo, a voice out of the cloud said:
This is my worshiped Son, in whom I AM agreeable; hear him.
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were frightened.
7 Jesus came, touched them and said: Stand up, and don't be afraid!
8 Then lifting up their eyes, they saw none, except Jesus.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them: Don't tell the vision to none, until the Son of man resurrects from the dead.
10 His disciples asked him: Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?
11 He answered: Elijah indeed will come and he will renew all things.
12 But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they didn't know him, but did to him whatever they want. Thus they will also do to the Son of man who will suffer his things.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them about John the Baptist. (Matthew, XVII, 1-13).
2 Six days after Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, with him and brought them up to a high mountain apart. And he was transfigured before them;
3 and
his clothes became glittering, exceeding white, such as no laundress on earth could bleach them
.
4
Elijah with Moses appeared to them and they were talking to Jesus
.
5 Peter said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here and let us make three tents; one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.
6 Cause he didn't know what to say for that they were surprised.
7 A cloud came and encircled them and a voice said from the cloud:
This is my worshiped Son; hear him
.
8 Suddenly looking round, they saw none any more with them, save Jesus.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, he warned them that they couldn't divulge the things they had seen, save when the Son of man would have been resurrected from the dead.
10 They kept the warning, questioning among themselves
what resurrecting from the dead would mean
.
11
Due to this
they asked him: How come the scribes say that Elijah must come first?
12 He said to them: Elijah indeed comes first, and renews all things; and how
is it written about the Son of man, that he will suffer many things and will become
nothing
?
13 But I say to you, that Elijah have already come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written concerning him. (Mark, IX, 2-13).
28 Eight days after these words, he took Peter and John and James with him, and went up to the mountain to pray.
29 While he was praying, the image of his face transfigured, and
his clothes became dazzling white
.
30 Lo
two men talked to him: Moses and Elijah
,
31 who appeared in glory and
spoke about his death, which he was about to fulfill at Jerusalem
.
32 Peter and the others were heavy of sleep; but they remained fully awake, and saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
33 When they went away, Peter said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah; but he didn't know what he was saying.
34 While he said these things, a cloud came, and enveloped them; and they feared while they entered into the cloud.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying:
This is my Son, my elect; hear him
.
36 After that voice Jesus was met alone. They shut up their mouth and told none any of the things, which they had seen in those days. (Luke, IX, 28-36).
106. What about now? Jesus talked to the Spirit of Moses and Elijah who had dead for a long time ago. Elijah is reincarnation of Moses and John the Baptist is reincarnation of Elijah, so the three are one and the same Spirit. Does the law of the proper Moses to whom Jesus talked condemn who do such things to the punishment of death? Have you already dreamed? Would you commit suicide because of that? What to do? The Spirit of God said to hear Jesus. Jesus became brilliant white as the light. But it didn't happen only to Him. To His clothes too. Lo Jesus wore fluid clothes created by His thought; so fluid as His body. If they were common clothing, material, they wouldn't suffer any modification, they wouldn't shine. Jesus talks again about reembodiment. That John the Baptist was Elijah resuscitated from the dead. If Jesus talks to the Spirits, we also can do that. “Truly, truly, I say to you that he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and he will do greater works than these;” (John, XIV, 12). We must put the sin out of ourselves. Peter still asks about the tents of the chapter XLV in which Jesus become
nothing
before all likely this apparition (item 100 of MB) of Moses.
LIII – Jesus is the least
46 They started a discussion concerning
who among them would be the greatest
.
47 But when Jesus knew the reasons of their hearts, he took a little child, and set him by his side
48 and said to them: Whoever will receive this baby in my name receives me; and whoever will receive me receives him who sent me;
because he who is the least among you all, the same is who is great
. (Luke, IX, 46-48).
24 They began also a discussion themselves them about who seemed to be the greatest among them.
25 But he said to them: The kings of the peoples dominate the peoples; they who have authority over them are called benefactors.
26 But you won't be like that; on the contrary, he who is the greater among you, let him become as the least; and he who directs, will be as he who serves.
27 Cause, which is greater: he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Perhaps isn't he who sits at the table? But I AM as he who serves in the middle of you.
28 But you are they who have remained with me in my temptations.
29 Thus my Father named me to a kingdom, I name you to a kingdom,
30 for that you eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and you will sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. (Luke, XXII, 24-30).
30 They went from there, and passed through Galilee; and he didn't want that any man know it.
31 Because he taught his disciples, and said to them: The Son of man will be delivered to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, he will resurrect after three days.
32 But they didn't understand what he was saying, and they were afraid to ask him.
33 They came to Capernaum and when he was in the house he asked them: What were you reasoning on the way?
34 But they shut up because
they had disputed who was the greatest among them on the way
.
35 He sat down, called the twelve and he said to them:
If any man wants to be the first, he will be the last (least) of all, and servant of all
. (Mark, IX, 30-35).
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Then who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 He called a little child to him, and set him in the middle of them.
3 And said: Truly I say to you: If you don't proselyte yourselves, and become a baby, you won't go in the kingdom of heaven noway.
4 Therefore whoever will
humiliate
himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew, XVIII, 1-4).
107. The disciples discussed their pride. They wanted to know who was the prouder: the greatest among them. They went to ask Jesus. However, Jesus is humble. Jesus said that the important is to be humble, not proud. The important isn't to be served, but to serve. Who was serving the Gospel to them? Jesus isn't the greater, the prouder. Jesus is the least, the humbler. “Without the modesty, you adorn yourselves with virtues which you don't have, as if you wore a clothing in order to hid the deficiencies of your body. Call
That
who save us; call his modesty, which has made him so great, and put him above all the prophets. The pride is the terrible adversary of modesty.” (Lacordaire, GAS, VII, 11). Jesus also talks concerning reembodiment. Who doesn't humiliate himself and don't reborn as a baby won't go in the Kingdom of God noway. Because it is necessary to reborn to evolve and whoever don't want to reincarnate, renew is proud. He is a weak being who doesn't want to carry his cross. He is a scandal stone such as Peter (chapter LI).
5 Whoever will receive one little child such as this in my name receives me.
6 But whoever will scandalize one of these least ones who believe in me, it would be better for him to hang a great millstone on his neck, and to be drowned in the beneath of the sea.
7 Ouch! Of the world because of the scandals! Because the coming of the scandals is inevitable; but Ouch! Of the man through whom the scandal comes!
8 Therefore, if your hand or your foot scandalize you, cut it and cast it out from you, it is better for you to enter in the life lame or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.
9 If your eye scandalizes you, pluck it and cast it out from you; it is better for you to enter into the life with one single eye than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.
10 See! Despise not even one of these least ones; because I say to you that:
Their angels in the heaven see the face of my heavenly Father incessantly
. (Matthew, XVIII, 5-10).
1 He said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals don't come; but ouch! Of him! Through whom they come!
2 It would be better for him to hang a millstone on his neck; and he would be thrown into the sea, than scandalizing one of these least ones. (Luke, XVII, 1-2).
36 He took a little child, and set him in the middle of them and taking him in his arms, he said to them:
37 Whoever will receive a babe in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn't receive me, but him who sent me. (Mark, IX, 36-37).
42 Whoever will scandalize one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for him to hang a great millstone on his neck, and be thrown into the sea.
43 If your hand scandalizes you, cut it; it is better for you to be born into life one-
armed
, than having your two hands to go into hell, into the inextinguishable fire.
44 Where the worm doesn't die, not even the fire extinguishes.
45 And if your foot scandalizes you, cut it; cause it is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having your two feet to be thrown in hell.
46 Where the worm doesn't die, not even the fire extinguishes.
47 And if your eye scandalizes you, pluck it; it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell.
48 Where the worm doesn't die, not even the fire extinguishes.
49 Because each one will be salted with fire.
50 Salt is good; but if the salt will become insipid, how will you restore its taste? Have salt in yourselves, and peace one with another. (Mark, IX, 42-50).
47 But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him at the side of him
48 and said to them: Whoever will receive this babe in my name receives me; and whoever will receive me receives him who sent me;
because that among you who is the least of all, this one is who is great
. (Luke, IX, 47-48).
13 Then they brought to him some little children, for that he would put his hands over them and pray; but the disciples reprehended them.
14 But Jesus said: Let the little children come to me and don't forbid them; because the kingdom of heaven belongs to such ones.
15 He put his hands over them, and get away from there. (Matthew, XIX, 13-15).
13 Then they brought little children to him for that he would cure them with the hands, but the disciples reprehended them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he disgusted, and said to them: Let the little children come to me; don't forbid them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such ones.
15 Truly I say to you: Whoever won't receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he will enter in noway.
16 He took them in his
arms
, and putting his hands over them, he blessed them. (Mark, X, 13-16).
15 They also brought their babes to him, for that he would cure them with the hands; but when the disciples saw it, they reprehended them.
16 But Jesus called them to him, saying: Let the little children come to me, and don't forbid them; because the kingdom of God belongs to such ones.
17 Truly I say to you: Whoever won't receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he will enter in noway. (Luke, XVIII, 15-17).
108. The parents who create sons are great for Jesus. Receiving a son in his house is as receiving Jesus, the proper God. But Jesus doesn't want that anyone scandalizes himself, as Peter, the stone of scandal of his assembly, did (chapter LI), asking him to have mercy of Himself. Jesus gives the supreme example delivering himself to the death, and death of cross. However, Peter had a lot of fright to die. He was a stone of scandal. But Jesus warns that who scandalize a little child or the least of the men will be justly punished. Everyone who causes a suffering will suffer the same suffering or worst. It is better to ask to reincarnate without one foot or without one hand or totally crippled, than remaining in the eternal fire of the sorrow and of the persecutions of the Spirits (flames). The parents of some children took his sons for that Jesus applied a magnetic passe. The apostles prohibited correctly. It isn't anyone who can apply a magnetic passe. The magnetic passe of a person who wants to revenge himself can be very harm to the person who takes the passe. The best passe continues being the self-passe called signal of the cross. Then don't we know that there are priests who use the words of Jesus in order to rape little children? And after don't they become stones of scandal who don't want to carry their own cross? Cause don't they want to be totally forgiven? Didn't Jesus say that Satan is the stone of scandal who doesn't want to accept any suffering, any punishment? Jesus rejoices with motherhood and fatherhood. We must have sons and create them, as the heavenly Father creates us. Having a son is creating Jesus, because all of us will be God one day. Who creates a son is creating a future Lord or Master of the Universe. But coitiony of him who will scandalize a child. Every person and every Spirits achieve solidarity with the childish tolerance. Coitiony of that who will make a humble to suffer! Everyone unite to those who suffer with humbleness. When we suffer we must be humble and resigned. Then the people will defend us: Coitiony! But if we are proud the people will say: Well-finished, he received what he deserved! If we suffer, we must not to be ashamed of been humiliated publicly. We must lose our shame and being humiliated publicly, then there will be a lot of people with mercy on us. Ready to defend us. However, if we are ashamed of suffering and we are proud, none will see our suffering, neither they will be able to defend us. Jesus doesn't want that we cut feet or hands of other persons. He wants that we mutilate our pride, which is deep-rooted in our Spirit. The hand, which removes the dirtinesses of your body, scandalizes you? No! Then you don't need to cut it. The pride yes. This must be extirpated. Did your eye see a scandal? Did your eye scandalize you? No?! Then you don't need to pluck your eye. But forgive the sinner who scandalized you. Forgive that prostitute who undressed. We must be merciful as Peter. If there is imprisonment it is to arrest criminals. Then didn't Jesus say to Peter, the stone of scandal, that he must forgive seventy times seven? What was Peter doing at the back of Jesus (chapter LI)? Will he cut his own wrists? Watch! It is better to sin nevermore. "There was a stone in the middle of the way." (Carlos Drummond de Andrade).
1 All the publicans and sinners were approaching Jesus to hear him.
2 Both the pharisees and the scribes whispered: This man receives sinners, and eats with them.
3 He spoke to them this parable:
4 What man among you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doesn't leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and searches that which is lost, until you encounter it?
5 When you encounter it, you put it on your shoulders, rejoicing.
6 When you comes home, you rejoin your friends and your neighbors, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep, which was lost.
7 I say to you, thus there will be more joy in heaven for a sinner who regrets, than for ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no sorrow.
8 Or which woman having ten drachmas (greek silver coin, like denary), if she loses one coin, doesn't she light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she encounter it?
9 And having encountered it, she rejoins her friends and neighbors, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have encountered the drachma, which I had lost.
10 I say to you, there is equal joy in the presence of the angels of God for a sinner who regrets. (Luke, XV, 1-10).
11 Because the Son of Man came to save him who was lost.
12 What do you think? If any man have a hundred sheep, and one among them leads astray, doesn't he leave the ninety and nine, and go to the mountains to seek that which was led astray?
13 I truly say to you: If he encounters it, he will rejoice more cause of this one than for the ninety and nine, which wasn't led astray.
14 Thus it isn't the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these least ones will perish. (Matthew, XVIII, 11-14).
109. Jesus had already said: “And this is the will of him who sent me: That I don't lose anyone of all those who he gave to me; but I will resurrect him in the last day.” (John, VI, 39). Thus, everyone, without exception, one day will be Holy Spirits, inclusively Judas Iscariot, Beelzebub, Lucifer and Satan. Jesus did the parable of the drachma (little coin), because we must not to throw money out. In the same way, a sinner, a demon, a devil, an impure Spirit mustn't be despised. Everyone will go in the glory of God one day. “God takes care Himself of all beings He has created, the most little they are; nothing is too much few for His kindness.” (963 of SB). Even the little coins, one day, will enter in the glory of God.
11 He continued: A certain man had two sons.
12 The youngest of them said to his father: Father,
give me the portion of your inheritance, which belongs to me. And he partitioned the goods among the heirs
.
13 Not many days after, the youngest piled all, which belonged to him and went away to a far country; and there he spent away all his goods living depravity.
14 When he had spent all, a mighty hunger came to that country; and he became necessitous.
15 Then he went joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him to his fields to guard swine.
16 There he wanted to devour the acorns, which the porks ate; but none gave anything to him.
17 Then he thought with himself and said: How many workers of my father have bread enough, and I perish here starving!
18 I will stand up, I will go to my father and I will say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven before your sight.
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your workers.
20 And he stood up and came to his father. But while he was yet far, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and embraced him, and kissed him.
21 And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven before your sight: I am no more worthy to be called your son.
22 But the father said to his workers: Bring quickly the best clothing, and dress him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet;
23 and
bring the fat calf, and kill it! Let us eat and rejoice
,
24 because this son of mine was dead but he reborned; he was lost, but was encountered. And they began to rejoice.
25 Now his elder son was in the field; and while he came and approached to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 He called one of the workers to him and asked what that was.
27 He said to him: Your brother came; and your father ordered to kill the fat calf, because he has received him salve and sonorous.
28 But he disgusted and he didn't want to come in; but father came out and asked for him.
29 But he answered to his father: Lo, in these many years that I serve you, I never transgressed a commandment of yours; and you yet never gave me a suckling goat, in order to rejoice with my friends.
30 But when this son of yours came, who wasted your goods living with
prostitutes
, you ordered to kill the fat calf for him.
31 Then he said to him: Son, you are eternally with me; and
all my goods belong to you
.
32 However it was necessary to rejoice and be glad; because this brother of yours was dead, but he reincarnated; he was lost, but he was encountered. (Luke, XV, 11-32).
110. The Father rejoices with the regret of the prodigal (spender) son who spent all his inheritance which he received (healthy body and others) from the living Father with prostitutes, women who live practicing sexual scandals (crimes). This spender son is the sheep, which had been led astray from the flock. He is the lost drachma. But the Divine Justice is perfect. The prodigal son lost his inheritance. All the remained material goods of the father will be inherited by the son who didn't waste them. “If the disinterest is a virtue, the insensate prodigality is always at least a cripple of judgment. Fortune is not given more to anyone to be thrown with the wind, than to others to be buried in a safe; it is a deposit of which they will have to render an account, cause they will have to answer for all the good they had the might to do, but they didn't; for all the tears they goldened to dry with the silver that they have given to those who didn't have necessity." (896 of SB).
LIV – Denunciation to the assembly of the christians
15 If your brother
sin
against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
16 But if he doesn't hear you, take with you one or two persons, for that through the deposition of two or three witnesses every word be established.
17 However if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the assembly; and if he refuses to hear the assembly also, consider him as foreigner and publican.
18 Truly I say to you, whatever you will unite on earth will be united in heaven; and whatever you will lose on earth will be lost in heaven.
19 Truly I also say to you, that if two among you will agree on earth concerning anything, that you will ask, it will be conceded for you by my Father who is in heaven.
20 Because where two or three are united in my name, there, I AM in the middle of them.
21 Then Peter approached and said to him: Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me, and I will forgive him? Until seven times?
22 Jesus answered him: I don't say until seven times to you; but, until seventy times seven. (Matthew, XVIII, 15-22).
3 Pay attention: If your brother sins against you, reprehend him; and if he regrets, forgive him.
4 And if he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times he comes to you saying: I regret; you will forgive him. (Luke, XVII, 3-4).
19 Don't accept a denunciation against a leader, except through the deposition of two or three witnesses.
20 Reprehend them who sin in the sight of all, for that the rest will also fear.
21 I warn you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that you will keep these words without prevention, doing nothing with partiality.
22 Don't lay your hands suddenly on anyone. Don't become accomplice of the sins of another. Keep yourself pure. (1Timothy, V, 19-22).
24 Let us also consider one another in order to stimulate each other to the love (charity) and to good works.
25 Let us not stop assembling together, as someones are used to, but let us warn one another and so much more, as you see the day coming.
26 Because if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, then remains no more sacrifice for sins;
27 but a certain horrible expectation of judgment, and a revenging fire which devour your adversaries.
28 A man who has became Moses ('law) in
nothing
dies without mercy on the word of two or three witnesses.
29 How much sever punishment, do you judge, will he be considered worthy, who has jumped under the feet of the Son of God, and has tasted the blood of the covenant which has Holyed Him, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 We know him who said: The revenge belongs to me; I will repay. And again: The Lord will judge his people.
31 It is frightening to fall in the hands of the living God. (Hebrews, X, 24-31).
111. "In view of each one is punished by where he has
sinned
." (399, 663, 764 e 973 of SB). Nicodemus had already said: "Does our law judge a man, except if he is first heard to know what he did?" (John, VII, 51). In this way, we must always warn the sinner concerning the sin, for that he can avoid continue sinning and been punished. It is a rule of mercy to try to conciliate with the brother before denunciating him to the assembly. The accusation also must be preceded of proofs, which prove the sin. It is common that the accuser without proofs be dishonored by false accusation. We must have conscience that Jesus is the supreme judge, which knows the thoughts of all persons of the assembly. He is who will judge if the assembly forgave or convicted. He is who knows if the accused is regretful and won't sin anymore, isn't Him? When we make accords one to each other, we must ask to the Father and He will homologate. "Does all the Spirits irradiate glittering with the same might? Without fault of beautiful blow: that depends on the degree of their purity." (92, II, of SB). "When the thought is any part (place too), the soul is there too, in view (sight, site) of it is the soul who thinks. The thought is an attribute (emblem, symbol)." (89, II, of SB). "As the Spirit transports himself with the rapidity of the thought, we can say that he sees everyone (everywhere too) at the same time; his thought can irradiate glittering and carry himself at the same time over many different points; but this faculty depends on his purity: the less purified he is, the more his sight is limited; the superior Spirits alone can hug an totality." (247 of SB). "The pure spirits inhabit certain worlds (spheres), but they are not confined there as the men over the ground; they can be everywhere (everyone) better than the others." (188 of SB). "Improve yourself in the
grace
(Sarah-Mary is full of grace), become yourself better and you will be able to talk to many people. When you had become superior Spirit, you will be able to irradiate glittering as the sunlight, to show yourself to many people and in many places at the same time. – CHANNING." (30
th
question, item 282 of MB). "It means that all of us must inhabit everyone (everywhere), and reach the knowledge of all things through presiding successively – to all the parts (persons and places) of the universe. But, as it is said in Ecclesiastes, there is there a time for everything." (560 of SB). "The good Spirits (also men) endeavor to combat the evil tendencies of the others
in order to aid (help) them to elevate them
; this is a mission." (280 of SB). The apostle Paul talks about the chapter LII where Jesus took three apostles before Moses and made him disappear.
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is likened to a certain king, who decided to settle accounts with his servants.
24 When he began, his servants brought who owed him ten thousand talents (one talent is worth 60 mines which is worth 100 drachmas which is similar to one denary which is worth to ten cents).
25 But as he didn't have how to pay, his lord commanded that he would be sold, with his wife, children, all that he had, and the payment would be made.
26 Suddenly the servant fell down and worshipped him: Lord, have patience on me, and I will pay you all.
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, send him away, and forgave his debt.
28 But that servant went out, and encountered one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred denaryes; and he laid his hands on him, and took him by the neck, saying: Pay what you owe.
29 So his fellow-servant fell down and loved him: Have patience on me, and I will pay you.
30 However he didn't want; but went and cast him in the prison, till he would have paid his debt.
31 When his fellow-servants saw what he had done, they regretted, and came to tell to their lord all that had happened.
32 Then his lord called him to him, and said to him: Mean servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you worshiped me;
33 didn't you have to also have had mercy on your fellow-servant reciprocally, as I also had mercy on you?
34 And his lord disgusted, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he would have paid all his debt.
35 Thus my heavenly Father will do to you, if you don't forgive every one his brother from your hearts. (Matthew, XVIII, 23-35).
112. We must be merciful to those who sin against us. Lo we are also sinners. The important is killing the sin of our hearts, not the sinner. The more sinners we are, the more we must forgive. Because if we don't forgive, we will pay everything that we owe to the heavenly Father. “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” (Matthew, VI, 12). “Because if you forgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” (Matthew, VI, 14). “And forgive us our sins; because we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us.” (Luke, XI, 4).
LV – Jesus is for us
38 John said to him: Master, we saw one casting demons out in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow with us.
39 But Jesus said: Don't forbid him; because none who will do a
mighty work
in my name, will be able to speak evil of me after.
40 Because he who isn't against us is favorable to us.
41 Whoever will give you a cup of water to drink, because you are for the Christ, truly I say to you, he will lose his reward noway. (Mark, IX, 38-41).
49 John said: Master, we saw one casting demons out in your name; and we interdicted him, because he doesn't follow with us.
50 But Jesus said to him: Don't interdict him; because he who isn't against you is for you. (Luke, IX, 49-50).
31 Then what will we say to these things? If God is for us, who will be against us? (Romans, VIII, 31).
42 Whoever will give to drink an only cup of cold water to one of these least ones, because he is my disciple, truly I say to you he will lose his reward noway. (Matthew, X, 42).
113. John wanted to prohibit the communication with the impure Spirits, but Jesus is ecumenical (universal, catholic): everyone can talk to the impure Spirits in order to exorcise them of the people who they trouble. For Jesus everyone can make disobsessive sessions and distribute cool magnetized water as the spiritists do. Someone likes to distribute homely sorus (cup of water with sugar and salt).
LVI – The divorcement
24 Therefore the man will leave his father and his mother, and he will penetrate to his wife; and they will be one flesh. (Genesis, II, 24).
1 When a man takes a wife, and marries her, then it will be, if he doesn't encounter no grace in her eyes, because he has encountered some impure thing in her, that he will write a
letter
of repudiation to her, and he will give it in her hand, and he will send her out of his house.
2 When she is gone out of his house, she can go and be another man's wife.
3 If this last husband bore her, and write a
letter
of repudiation to her, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the last husband (who took her to be his wife) dies;
4 her first husband, who sent her away, can't take her again to be his wife, after that she is corrupted; for that is abomination before the Lord; thus you won't make the earth (which the Lord your God gives to you as an inheritance) sin. (Deuteronomy, XXIV, 1-4).
1 It happened that when Jesus had finished these words, he left Galilee, and went to the borders of Judaea beyond the Jordan.
2 Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3
The pharisees
came to him, trying him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to repudiate his wife for any cause?
4 He answered: Haven't you read, that the Creator, from the beginning, made them man and woman,
5 and said: For this cause the man will leave his father and mother, and he will penetrate his wife; and they both will become one flesh?
6 So that they aren't both, but one
flesh
. Therefore what God has married, the man won't divorce.
7 They replied to him: Why then did Moses command to give a letter of repudiation, and to send her out?
8 He answered: Because of the hardness of your heart Moses allowed you to put your wife away; however, it wasn't such this way since the begging.
9 I say to you: Whoever will put away his wife,
except for prostitution
, and marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries the repudiated commits adultery.
10
The disciples
said to him: If this is the condition to the man concerning his wife, it is convenient not to marry.
11 But he answered to them: Not all men are
able
to reach this law, but only they to whom it is
given
.
12 Because there are eunuchs, who were born eunuchs from the uterus; and there are castrated ones, who were castrated by the men; and there are chaste ones, who made themselves chaste for the cause of the kingdom of heaven. He who is
able
to
receive
it,
receive
it. (Matthew, XIX, 1-12).
1 And he stood up from there and came to the borders of Judaea and beyond the Jordan. And multitudes joined together to him again; and he taught as he was used to.
2 And some pharisees came to him to try him, and asked him: Is it lawful for a man to repudiate his wife?
3 He answered to them: What did Moses command you?
4 They said: Moses allowed to write a letter of repudiation, and to put her away.
5 But Jesus said to them: Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this commandment.
6 But from the start of the creation, God made you man and woman.
7 For this cause the man will leave his father and his mother, and he will penetrate his woman,
8 and the two will become one
flesh
. So that they are no more two, but one
flesh
.
9 Therefore what God married together, the man doesn't divorce.
10 In the house the disciples asked him again about this
matter
.
11 He said to them: Whoever will put his wife away, and marry another, commits adultery against her.
12 If she herself put her husband away, and marry another, she commits adultery. (Mark, X, 1-12).
18 Whoever who puts his wife away, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries one who was repudiated by the husband also commits adultery. (Luke, XVI, 18).
19 Truly I also say to you, that if two among you will agree on earth concerning anything, that you will ask, it will be conceded for you by my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew, XVIII, 19).
63 It is the spirit who gives the life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. (John, VI, 63).
6 The
letter
(the word) kills, but the spirit gives the life. (II Corinthians, III, 6).
41 Spy and pray, for that you don't succumb to the temptation; the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. (Matthew, XXVI, 41).
114. We must interpret through the Spirit, not through the flesh. If a man and a woman accord that they want to love themselves, God concedes the union to them, it is enough that they achieve the first coition and they are married according to the law of God. Jesus said that the flesh of the apostles was weak. When He said this, Peter, the stone of scandal, was there. He had succumbed in the temptation. But the Spirit of God was ready. Jesus was ready to support the pains caused by the sin. He asked to the Father to remove the cup (calyx) of the pains if it was the wish of the Father. But it isn't the will of the Father to nullify the law of action and reaction. Whoever succumbs to the pleasures of the flesh must try the symmetrical pains of the same flesh. To each fleshly pleasure there is a fleshly pain. “The sympathy which bewitches one spirit to another is the result of the perfect agreement of their tendencies, of their instincts. If one ought to complete the other, he would lose his individuality.” (301 of SB). “In view of do you believe that God constrain you to remain with these who dislike you? And then, in these unions, you search often more the satisfaction of your pride and of your ambition than the welfare of a mutual affection; you suffer then the consequences of your pre-judgments.” (940 of SB). “Then how many there aren't there who believe they are fallen in love, because they don't judge but according to the appearances, but when they are obliged to live with the persons, they don't delay in recognizing that this isn't but a material bait? It isn't enough to be proved by a person who pleases you, and who you believe having beautiful qualities; it is at live indeed with her that you perish (rot, can) appreciated her. How many there aren't there also of those unions, which at firstly sight, seem they must be never sympathetic, and one and other are very well known themselves and well studied, they finish... in loving themselves: a tender and long-standing love, because he lays over the esteem! It is convenient not to forget that it is the Spirit who loves and not the body, and when the material illusion is vanished, the Spirit sees the reality. There are there two kinds of affections: that of the body and this of the soul, and we catch often one for the other. The affection of the soul, when she is pure and sympathetic, she is long-standing; that of the body is perishable (rot). Lo because, often, these who believed they love themselves an eternal love, they dress themselves a strait jacket when the illusion is fallen.” (939 of SB). It is because of this that the traditional wedding is being replaced by the stable union prescribed in the brazilian law; because for that to there be stable union it is enough that there is fleshly union. “Is the absolute indissolubility of marriage in the natural law or lonely inside the human law? It is a human law very (three times) contrary to the natural law. But the men can change their laws: these of nature are unshutable lonely up.” (697 of SB). Jesus said that if someone divorce himself of his consort and to marry another person, he commits adultery. It is truth. He had already said: “But I say to you, he who regards a woman and desires her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew, V, 28). The adultery is a very common tradition. “He who professes to worship Christ, and who is proud, envious, and
jealous
, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this sphere, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart.” (654 of SB). The adultery is a practice, which we must forgive. Jesus didn't convict the adulteress, but he said: “I also don't condemn you. Go away! And don't sin anymore from now on." (John, VIII, 1-11 – chapter XLVI). The greatest enemies of the divorcement are the children. "But, in this case, isn't there almost always there in the middle a victim? Yes, and it is a hard expiation for her; but the responsibility (account) of her uneasiness will fall back over those who goldened heated the cause." (940, II, of SB). They must be always heard, cause the goods of the family belongs to them too. Jesus approves the chastity. “Is voluntary celibacy an state of meritorious perfection before the eyes of God? No, and these, who live this way for selfishness, dislike feeling for God, and deceive all the world.” (698 of SB). “Isn't the chastity, on the part of certain persons, a renunciation inside the goal (objective) of applying themselves more entirely to the service of humanity? That is a good (well, very) different. I said æfor selfishnessÆ. Every personal renunciation is meritorious when it is for the good (well) end (objective); and the greater the renunciation, the greater the merit.” (699 of SB). Besides, the renunciation is not so great thus, cause there is the possibility of masturbation (self-Sex in oneself), which relieves the physiological necessities of the chaste one. The woman can execute it herself touching her clitoris by the inside of her vagina using the middle finger. “It is more exact that they will go to the hell, because we said to them that this which is inside the nature is a mortal sin for the soul:” (941 of SB). "The temptation came over you, but human; but God is faithful, who won't allow you to be tempted more than you are able; before, with the temptation, He will give the escape, for that you will be able to support it." (1 Corinthians, X, 13). In order to obtain the divorcement it is necessary to accuse with proofs the other consort of the crime of prostitution (article 229 of the Brazilian Penal Code) before the public prosecutor.
LVII – The rich young man
16 Lo a young man came to him and said: Master, what good thing will I do, in order to reach
eternal life
?
17 He said to him: Why do you ask me concerning that which is good? There is a unique one who is good. But if you want to
go in the life
, keep the commandments.
18 He said to him: Which? Jesus answered: You won't kill, won't commit adultery, won't steal, won't witness falsely,
19 will honor your father and mother; and, will love your neighbor as yourself.
20 The young man replied: I have been observing all these things; what is lacking to me yet?
21 Jesus said to him: If you want to be perfect, go, sell that which you
have
, and give to the paupers, and you will have a treasure in heaven, then come, and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard this word, he went away regretful; cause he was one who
had
great possessions.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples: Truly I say to you, it is difficult to a rich man to enter in the kingdom of heaven.
24 And I still say to you: It is easier to a camel to go through a needle's eye, than to a rich man to enter in the kingdom of God.
25 When the disciples heard it, they were greatly surprised, saying: Then who can be saved?
26 Jesus fixed his sight on them and said: This is impossible to the men; but all things are possible to God.
27 Then Peter said to him: Lo, we have left all, and followed you; then what will we
have
?
28 Jesus said to them: Truly I say to you that you who have followed me, in the
regeneration (palingenesis, reembodiment)
, when the Son of man will sit on the throne of his glory, you will also sit on twelve thrones, to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or countries, for the cause of my name, he will receive a hundred times more, and
he will inherit eternal life
.
30 However many first ones will be the last (least) ones; and many last (least) ones will be the first ones. (Matthew, XIX, 16-30).
17 And as Jesus was going in his way, a young man ran to him, and kneeled before him, and asked: Good Master, what will I do in order to inherit
eternal life
?
18 Jesus said to him: Why do you call me good? None is good but the unique God.
19 You know the commandments: Won't kill, won't commit adultery, won't steal, won't witness falsely, won't defraud none, will honor your father and mother.
20 He said to him: Master, I have observed all these things from my childhood.
21 And Jesus fixed his eyes on him,
loved him
and said to him: One thing is lacking to you: Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the pauper, and you will have a treasure in heaven; then come and follow me.
22 But his face (image) fell before this word, and he went away very regretful; because he
had
many possessions.
23 Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples: How hardly will the reach ones enter into the kingdom of God!
24 The disciples were surprised before his words. But Jesus said again to them: Children, how hard is for them who trust in wealth to enter in the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier to a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than to a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 They became very surprised and whispered themselves: Then who can be saved?
27 Jesus fixed his sight on them and said: To men it is impossible; but not to God, because all things are possible to God.
28 Peter began to say to him: Lo, we have left all, and have followed you.
29 Jesus said: Truly I say to you: There isn't any man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my cause, and for the cause of the gospel,
30 but he will receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and
eternal life
in the future world.
31 But many who are the first ones will be the last (least); and the last (least) ones will be first ones. (Mark, X, 17-31).
18 Certain director asked him: Good Master, what will I do to
inherit eternal life
?
19 Jesus answered him: Why do you call me good? None is good, but the unique God.
20 You know the commandments: Won't commit adultery, won't kill, won't steal, won't witness falsely, will honor your father and mother.
21 He said: I have observed all these things from my youth.
22 When Jesus heard it, he said to him: One thing is lacking to you yet: Sell all that you
have
, and distribute to the paupers, and you will have a treasure in heaven; then come and follow me.
23 But when he heard these words, he became very regretful; because he was very rich.
24 Seeing him this way Jesus said: How hardly they who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Because it is easier to a camel to pass through the eye of the needle, than to a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 They who heard it said: Then who can be saved?
27 But he said: The things, which are impossible to the men, are possible to God.
28 Peter said: Lo, we have left our home and followed you.
29 He answered: Truly I say to you, there is none who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the cause of the kingdom of God,
30 who won't receive many times more in this time, and
the eternal life
in the future world. (Luke, XVIII, 18-30).
25 Great multitudes joined him, and he turned back, and said to them:
26 If anyone comes to me and doesn't hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yea also his own life, he can't be my disciple. (Luke, XIV, 25-26).
33 Thus therefore whoever among you who doesn't renounce all that you
have
, you can't be my disciple. (Luke, XIV, 33).
115. Jesus says that Good is the unique God: the same Father who made He drinks the bitter cup of the cross. The young rich man asks him how to reach the eternal life! Now, “"It is the life of the Spirit which is eternal;” (153 of SB). Eternal life isn't something that one can reach or one can lose. It is commandment of the Father the eternal life for everyone. Then Jesus says to the young man to obey the Decalogue. Would the young man have answered the truth to Jesus? Then Jesus says to he sell the true property and give to the paupers (paupers of the true property). What do we have? Each one has what he deserves. Each one reaches what he deserves. The priority is to reach God and not to rich. The true property is the treasures of the intelligence and the heart. We won't take our material goods, neither our body from this word. Although the unique Jesus had. These goods are lent. It is a deposit, which we will return. We must do the best possible use of these goods. Jesus has already said: “Cause what will a man profit, if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul? Or what will a man give in order to exchange his soul?” (Matthew, XVI, 26). Jesus doesn't expect that we leave all the material goods to give it to the paupers. If we do that we will become a hindrance, a heaviness to the society. Besides, we must not to encourage the laziness. But there are those who make bad use of the goods, as the young and spender son who loosed all his goods to the prostitutes (chapter LIII). “The scientist studies the laws of the matter (also body); the good man studies the laws of the soul and practices them.” (617 of SB). “There are there two species of progress, which lend a mutual (reciprocal) support themselves, and however they don't march against, these are the intellectual progress and the moral progress.” (Allan Kardec, 785 of SB). “The complete progress is the end (goal); but the peoples as the individuals don't reach there but from degree to degree. While the moral sense is being developed in them, they can even serve themselves of their intelligence to do the evil. The morality and the intelligence are two forces which don't equilibrate themselves but very slowly.” (780, III, of SB). “The Spirit progresses through an ascending insensible march, but the progress doesn't accomplish itself simultaneously in all the senses; in a while, he can advance in science, in another in morality.” (365 of SB). Jesus says that people rich of material goods don't go in the kingdom of heaven. And this is an absolute truth: we can't bring any material thing from life. We don't take neither our perishable body to the kingdom of heaven, lesser the material wealth. It is easier to a camel pass through the eye of the needle than to the man to go in the kingdom of heaven with his body and his material goods. After that the body dies, the man, richer he is, he abandons all his material goods; and this is not all: he abandons his house, father, mother, sons, brothers, wife and he goes to live the eternal life in the kingdom of heaven. Because even the evil ones will live with Spirits alike to them in the kingdom of heaven. It is possible to see the image of a camel through the eye of a needle, isn't it? The image (Spirit) passes, but the camel (body) remains. Besides, in order to become pure Spirit and go in the kingdom of God it is necessary to become free of the entire properly matter. Jesus'body is fluid. Jesus wants that the familiars love themselves, but also hate themselves, because it is through the critique that the Spirits stone themselves in order to become brilliant diamonds. During life we love and fight, but in the time of the death the Spirit provokes hate in the family which darken (gloom) against themselves for the inheritance and they still want good news from the deceased. The first ones will be the last (least) ones: the proud ones will be the last ones in the kingdom of heaven. The last ones will be the first ones: the modest ones will be the first ones in the kingdom of heaven. All of us will pass through all the possible and imaginable trials to reach the first degree of the supreme intelligence.
1 Because the kingdom of heaven is like to a man who was a householder, who went out early in the morning to employ workers to his vineyard.
2 When he had accorded a denary (roman silver coin which is worth ten cents) for day with the workers, he sent them to his vineyard.
3 He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing unemployed in the public square
4 and said to them: Go you also to the vineyard, and I will give what is just to you. They went.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hours, and did likewise.
6 At about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing unemployed; and he said to them: Why did stand unemployed here all the day?
7 They said to him: Because none has employed us. He said to them: Go you also to the vineyard.
8 When the evening was come, the lord of the vineyard said to his administrator:
Call the workers, and pay their salary to them, beginning from the last to the first
.
9 When the employed at the eleventh hour came, they received a denary each man.
10 When the first came, they thought they would receive more; but they also received a denary each man.
11 But when they received it, they whispered against the householder,
12 saying: These last (least) have spent but one hour, however you have made them equal to us, who have supported the flames of the day and the heat of the day.
13 But the householder, answering, said to one of them: Friend, I do no injustice to you; didn't you accord a denary with me?
14 Take what is yours, and go way; cause
I want to give to this last (least) the same I give to you
.
15 Isn't it lawful to me to do what I want with what is mine? Or Are your eyes evil, because
I AM
good?
16
Thus the last (least) will be first, and the first will be last
. (Matthew, XX, 1-16).
116. This parable has two interpretations: one according to the flesh and other according to the Spirit. According to the flesh, all the workers received the same denary because it was the money enough to survive during a day. It was just that all among them received the sufficient to pass the day alive. Who makes the material work do it to keep the body. According to the Spirit, Jesus begins paying the last ones, the more modest. “He sat down, called the twelve and he said to them: If any man wants to be the first, he will be the last (least) of all, and servant of all. (Mark, IX, 35). The first ones were proud, superb and for this the last ones in the kingdom of heaven. But Jesus is just. One day they will be modest and they will receive the same than the others: they will go in the kingdom of God. Jesus gives to each one a work according to him. He gives heavy work to those who like to use his muscles and he gives intellectual work to those who like to think. Each one has (reaches) what he deserves. Greed isn't quality, is it?
LVIII – The nepotism of the mother of John and James
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he called the twelve disciples apart on the way and said to them:
18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the main priests and scribes. They will condemn him to death,
19 and will deliver him to the foreigners to be mocked, whipped and crucified; but he will resurrect at the third day.
20 Then the wife of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and worshipping him, she asked for a certain thing to him.
21 He asked her: What do you want? She said to him: Command that these my two sons sit: one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your kingdom.
22 But Jesus answered: You don't know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I AM about to drink? They answered to him: We are able.
23 He said to them: You will indeed drink my cup; but to sit at my right hand, and at my left hand; I don't concede to you; but it is for them who have been prepared by my Father.
24 When the ten heard it,
they became indignant against the two brothers
.
25 But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the governors of the peoples dominate them, and that their
great ones
exercise authority over them.
26 It won't be thus among you; on the contrary,
whoever wants to become great among you, will be that who serves you
;
27
and whoever want to be the first among you, he will be your servant
;
28
such as the Son of man, who didn't come to be ministered, but to minister
, and to give his life as ransom for many. (Matthew, XX, 17-28).
32 They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them. These were admired and they followed him afraid. Jesus took the twelve apart again, and began to tell them the things that were to happen to him, saying:
33 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the main priests and the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the foreigners;
34 and they will mock him, will spit on him, will flog him, and will kill him; but he will resurrect three days after.
35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached to him, saying to him: Master, we want you to concede for us whatever we want to ask for.
36 He asked them: What do you want me to do for you?
37 They answered him: Allow us to sit: one at your right hand, and one at your left hand in your glory.
38 But Jesus said to them: You don't know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink? Or to be baptized across the baptism that I AM baptized across?
39 They said to him: We are able. Jesus said to them: The cup that I drink you will drink; and you will be baptized across the baptism that I AM baptized;
40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left hand, I don't allow you; but this is for them who have been prepared.
41 When the ten heard it,
they became indignant against James and John
.
42 But Jesus called them to him, and said to them: Do you know that they who are accounted to govern the foreigners dominate them; and their
great ones
exercise authority over them?
43 But this isn't this way among you; but
whoever wants to become great among you, he will be he who serves you
;
44 and
whoever want to be the first among you, he will be servant of all
.
45
Cause the Son of man also didn't come to be ministered, but to minister
, and to give his life as ransom for many. (Mark, X, 32-45).
31 He took the twelve with him, and said to them: Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets will be accomplished concerning the Son of man.
32 Cause he will be delivered up to the foreigners, and he will be mocked, insulted and spit;
33 and after whipping him, they will kill him; but he will resuscitate at the third day.
34 They understood nothing about these things; and the meaning of these words was hidden from them, and they didn't perceive what were said. (Luke, XVIII, 31-34).
117. Jesus announces his tragedy again, for that the people participate of the great spectacle that is the torture and the death of our Lord. The mother of James and John asks to Jesus for a charge to her sons in his kingdom. She thought that the kingdom of heaven was earthy. Then Jesus answers that in earth the great one, the proud ones, the superb ones, the prepotent ones exercise the power. However, they are the least ones, the modest ones, the servants who reign in the kingdom of heaven, without force, but through love and intelligence. The request of the sons of Zebedee, the Boanerges or sons of thunder, caused indignation among the apostles because the pride and the imposition of the force always cause indignation. We are sons of men and we didn't come to serve ourselves, but to serve. “Don't you not know that the Spirits belong to different orders according to their merit? Ouch! Well, the greater on the earth can be at the last rank among the Spirits, while his servitor will be at the first rank. Do you comprehend this? Hasn't Jesus said: æWhoever bemean will be elevated, and whoever elevate himself will humiliated'?” (275 of SB). Wasn't the babe Jesus laid on a trough?
LIX – Jesus cures two blind men
5 Then the eyes of the blind will be lighted, and the ears of the deaf will be opened. (Isaiah, XXXV, 5).
29 As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 Lo two blind men sitting in the side of the way, when they heard that Jesus was passing, cried out: Lord, son of David, have compassion on us!
31 But the multitude reprehended in order to shut up; but they cried out yet more, saying: Lord, son of David, have mercy on us!
32 Then Jesus stopped, called them and said: What do you want me to?
33 They answered: Lord, open our eyes.
34 Jesus, with pity, touched their eyes; and immediately they received their sight, and followed him. (Matthew, XX, 29-34).
46 They went to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting at the side of the way.
47 When he heard that he was Jesus from Nazareth, he began to cry out: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me!
48 And many rebuked him, in order to shut him up; but he cried out yet more: Son of David, have pity on me!
49 Jesus stopped and said: Call him. They called the blind man, saying to him:
Have good soul
; stand up, he calls you.
50 He cast his cape away, stood up in a jump, and came to Jesus.
51 Jesus asked him: What do you want me to? The blind man answered: Master, I want my sight.
52 Jesus said to him: Take your way; your faith has saved you. And straightway he received his sight, and followed him in the way. (Mark, X, 46-52).
35 It happened that as he approached to Jericho, a certain blind man was sat at the side of the way begging alms.
36 And hearing a multitude passing, he inquired what was that.
37 They told him, that Jesus, the Nazarene, was passing.
38 Then he cried: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me!
39 And they who were before rebuked him to shut him up; but he cried out yet more: Son of David, have pity on me!
40 Jesus stopped and commanded them to bring him. When he was come, he asked him:
41 What do you want me to? He answered: Lord, I want to see again.
42 Then Jesus said to him: Receive your sight; your faith has saved you.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people also, when they saw it, praised God. (Luke, XVIII, 35-43).
118. At the sight of the multitude who followed Jesus, He, through His magnetism, cured one more blind man. Always that the opportunity appeared Jesus made the well.
LX – Jesus eats with the rich publican
1 And he went in and was crossing Jericho.
2 Behold a man, called Zacchaeus, a chief of the publicans and rich,
3 searched to see who Jesus was, but he couldn't because of the crowd, cause he was short of stature.
4 Then he ran to before of them, and climbed a wild fig tree up to see him, because he would pass there.
5 When Jesus arrived to that place, he looked up, and said to him: Zacchaeus, climb down quickly; cause it is convenient to me to lodge in your house today.
6 He climbed down in a hurry and received him joyfully.
7 When they saw it, they all whispered: He is going to lodge with a sinful man.
8 However Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord: Lord, I give to the pauper the half of my goods; and if I have defrauded any man, I return the fourfold.
9 Then Jesus said to him: Today the salvation arrived to this house, cause this is also a son of Abraham.
10 Because the Son of man came to seek and to save that who was lost. (Luke, XIX, 1-10).
119. Jesus turned clear that Zacchaeus was lost. Zacchaeus, the o publican who collected imposts (taxes) is the sinner, the lost lamb, the lost drachma, who was more occupied in the earthy things than in the heavenly things. Jesus calls he as son of Abraham because he was a liar. As a roman public servant, he had the duty of spending the money of the imposts in public and social works. He made to him the parable of the servants and the money.
14 Cause the kingdom of heaven is as a man, who going to another country, called his servants, and delivered his goods to them.
15 To one he gave five talents (one talent is worth 60 mines which is worth 100 drachmas which is similar to one denary which is worth to ten cents), to another two, to another one;
to each one according to his own abilities
; then he traveled.
16 Immediately the one who has received five talents went and dealet with them, and gained other five talents.
17 Likewise the one who has received two talents gained other two.
18 But the one, who has received one talent, went out, hoed the earth, and hid the money of his lord.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.
20 Then he who received five talents approached and delivered other five talents, saying: Lord, you trusted in me five talents: Lo, I have gained other five talents.
21 His lord said to him: Very well, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
22 Also he who received two talents approached and said: Lord, you trusted in me two talents: Lo, I have gained other two talents.
23 His lord said to him: Very well, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
24 Finally he who had received one talent approached and said: Lord, I knew you are a severe man, who harvests where you didn't sow, and who unites where you didn't divulge;
25 I was afraid, and went out, and hid your talent in the earth: Lo, take what is yours.
26 But his lord said: Evil and lazy servant! Did you know that I harvest where I didn't sow, and I unite where I didn't divulge?
27 Therefore you must have deposited my money attached to the bankers, and when I came back I would have received my money back with interest.
28 Therefore take the talent away from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.
29 Because to every one who has, it will be given, and he will have plentifully; but he who doesn't have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30 And cast the useless servant out into the external darkness. There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth there. (Matthew, XXV, 14-30).
11 As they heard these things, he spoke a parable, because they were near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God would appear immediately.
12 Then he said: Certain nobleman went to a far country, to take office of a kingdom, and to return.
13 He called ten servants of his, and trusted ten mines (one mine is worth 100 drachmas which is similar to one denary which is worth to ten cents) to them, and said: Deal till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying: We don't want that this man reign over us.
15 When he came back, having taken office of the kingdom, he commanded to call the servants to whom he had given the money to know how much they had gained dealing.
16 The first came before him, saying: Lord, your mine has profited ten mines more.
17 The lord answered: Very well, good servant; because you have been faithful over few things, you will have authority over ten cities.
18 The second came, saying: Lord, your mine has profited five mines more.
19 He said to him also: You will have authority over five cities.
20 Another came, saying: Lord, behold here is your mine, which I kept wrapped in a handkerchief.
21 Cause I feared you, who are a severe man who takes for you what you didn't set on and you harvest where you didn't sow.
22 He answered: Evil servant! I will judge you through your own mouth! Did you know that I AM a severe man, that I take for me what I didn't set on, and I harvest where I didn't sow?!
23 Why didn't you put my money in a bank? Then I would have received it with interest at my coming?
24 He said to them who were watching: Take the mine from him and give it to him who has ten mines.
25 They weighed: Lord, he already has ten mines.
26 I say to you: To every one who has, it will be given; but he who doesn't have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
27 Concerning to these enemies of mine, who didn't want that I would reign over them, bring them here and kill them before me. (Luke, XIX, 11-27).
120. All the material goods are given to us by God, including our body. “Your Spirit is everything; your body is a clothing, which perishes itself: Lo everything.” (196, II, of SB). “It is the spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.” (John, VI, 63). We won't carry anything material from this world. Firstly, the interpretation according to the flesh: God gives the material goods to us according to our abilities, to our evolutional degree. “But, know it well: Wealth is often a trial more dangerous than the misery.” (925 of SB). God gives the material goods to us to prosper. Not to decrease them or to waste them. Who has a lot, will have to rich yet more. It is easier to him who has nothing to rich something, than to the rich to double his wealth. “In a society based over the law of God and in the justice, the provision to the life of the
weak
must be made without humiliating for him. The society must assure the existence of them who can't work, without abandoning their life to the pity at hazard of willingly men." (888 of SB). “God couldn't give to the man the necessity of living without giving the means to him, that is because of this that He made produce to the earth than to furnish the necessary to all its inhabitants, cause only the necessary is useful; the surplus is never useful.” (704 of SB). “That is because it is convenient to understand as goods of earth everything which the man can enjoy here downworld.” (706 of SB). God has attached an attraction in the pleasure of material things "to excite the man to the accomplishment of his mission, and also to judge (prove) him through temptation.” (712 of SB). “The welfare is a natural desire. God doesn't defend but the self-abuse (self-sex), because the abuse is contrary to the conservation; He didn't make a CRIME to research the welfare, if this welfare isn't acquired at the use of none, and if he doesn't finger to enfeeble neither the moral forces, neither the physical forces.” (719 of SB). “The soul is meritorious, it is to resist to the temptation who solicits to the excess or to the pleasure of the useless things;” (720, II, of SB). “But know well that a wealth often doesn't ground to a man but to furnish him the opportunity repairing an injustice.” (809 of SB). “We don't love physical suffering; but this is of few importance to the life you have chosen.” (859 of SB). “Is there however there a measure of welfare common to all the men? For the material life, it is the possession of the necessary; for the moral life: the good conscience and the belief in the future (spiritual life).” (922 of SB). Thus, God gave the right of administering cities, which are material goods of the property common to all, to those who produced and dealt material goods and riched more. The avaricious servant who buried the money impeding it of circulating and generating wealth was taken to the doorposts of the suffering. He could have deposited the money in a bank to obtain interest to the Lord, but he was avaricious, attached to the money and still complained that the Lord harvests what he didn't sow: “The misery provokes the whispering against the Providence; the richness excites to all the excesses.” (815 of SB). Many ones don't reach to return the mine that they received: they are the spender sons (chapter LIII). According to the Spirit we must use our talent to increase the abilities of the Spirits. The scientist studies the laws of the matter and he makes them to produce, according to his talent. The good man studies the moral laws to transform the men in good Spirits. “Afterward, the Spirit must advance in science and in morality; if he hasn't progressed but in a sense, it is convenient that he progress in another sense in order to reach the high (hot) of the ladder.” (192 of SB). The inferior Spirits work the material things and they evolve with them. To each one it is given according to his abilities. To the inferior Spirits studying too much is a punishment. They prefer the material work. To the good Spirits the material work is a castigation. He who has and multiplies, it will be given more. To him who has no talent, it will be taken even what he has to regret of having not worked.
LXI – Jesus declares Himself God and He is convicted to the death, once again
22 The feast of the dedication was happening at Jerusalem. It was winter.
23 Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24 The jews surrounded him therefore and challenged him: How long will you suspend our soul? If you are the Christ, tell us sincerely.
25 Jesus answered them: I have already told you, but you don't believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father witness about me.
26 But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheeps.
27
My sheeps hear my voice
; and I know them, and they follow me.
28
I give eternal life to them
; and they will never perish (rot), and
none will snatch them out of my hand
.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and
none can snatch them out of the hand of the Father.
30
I and the Father are one
.
31 Again the jews caught
rocks
to stone him.
32 Jesus said to them: I have showed you many good works from the Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
33 The jews answered: We don't stone you for any good work, but for blasphemy;
because you, being a man, make God of yourself
.
34 Jesus replied: Isn't it written in your law: '
I said: you are gods.'
?
35
If he called gods them, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture can't fail),
36 do you say about him, who the Father holyfied and sent to the world: You blaspheme; because I said:
I AM
the Son of God?
37 If I don't the works of my Father, you don't believe in me.
38 However I do them, but you yet don't believe in me! Believe in the works; for that you can know and understand that
the Father is in me, and I AM in the Father
.
39 In this point, they
searched to arrest him
again; but
they couldn't snatch him through their hands
.
40 Again he went away to the
beyond
the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing initially; and there he remained.
41 Many came to him and they said: John indeed left no sign, but all things whatever John spoke about this man were true.
42 And many believed in him there. (John, X, 22-42).
1 God watches in the assembly of God; He judges among the gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly respecting the causes of those who don't believe?
3 Judge the weak and fatherless. Do justice to the afflicted and pauper.
4 Succor the weak and the needy. Snatch them out of the hand of those who don't believe.
5 They know nothing, neither they understand. They walk from darkness to darkness. All the abysses of the earth are shaken.
6
I said: You are gods
, and all of you are
sons of the Highest
.
7 However you will die like men. And you will fall as any princes.
8 Stand up, Oh! God! Judge the earth, because you will inherit all the nations. (Psalm LXXXII).
121. Jesus declares himself man and God: “The end (goal) of the creation, which consists in the comparative cultivation of the beauty, of the well, idealized by the human pattern, by the
Man-God
, by Jesus-Christ.” (Paul apostle, 1009 of SB). “All the men are brothers in God, because they are
animated
by the spirit, and they tend to the same end (goal)." (54 of SB). “The peoples are excusable of not to believe in the word of that who was
animated
of Spirit of God" (671 of SB). “The doctrine which Jesus taught is the purest expression of His Law, because He was
animated
by the Godly Spirit, and He is the purest Spirit who has appeared over ground." (Allan Kardec, 625 of SB). "VI. – The end of the soul (
anima
in Latin), in her evolution, is to reach and to accomplish in herself and surround herself, across the times and the ascending seasons of the Universe, through the unbutton of the mights, which she belongs in germ, this eternal notion of the Beauty and of the Well, who expresses the ideal of God, the proper ideal of perfection." (
Léon Denis
,
The Problem of the Being, of the Destiny and of the Pain
, 5
th
edition, FEB, RJ, page 453 – the last one). “Jesus Christ, existing in form of God, he didn't make of being equal to God a usurpation, but he emptied his selfishness, taking the form of a servant, becoming alike to the men. Being met with human image, he bemeaned himself, being obedient even to death and the death of the cross. Because of this God exalted him to the highest degree and gave to him the name, which is above every name. Thus every knee bend before the name of Jesus, in heaven, on earth and under the earth. And every tongue proclaims: Jesus Christ is the Lord in the glory of God the Father.” (Letter of Paul to the Philippians, II, 6-11). The pharisees caught stones and tried to arrest him, but who is able to imprison God? Who can incarcerate the Spirit? And Jesus became impalpable. “The electrons and photons, which constitute your physical dress, integrate, likewise, our vehicles of manifestation, in other frequencies. Therefore you need to pay attention in the might works of your potential divinity.” (Spirit of Alexander in the book “The Missionaries of the Light” of Andrew Louis, in the psychography of Francisco Cândido Xavier, FEB, page 98). “Why do you (incomprehensible audacity) imagine the sublime realization without sympathizing to the Spirit of the Truth, who is the proper Lord?” (page 99 of “The Missionaries of the Light”). “Did you forget the divine word who pronounced: 'You are gods.'?” (page 99 of “The Missionaries of the Light”). “You are the spiritual crown of the face of the earth, for the reason you were rewarded by the Lord of the Universe.” (page 100 of the same book). “If you expect the sublime Holys's companion, sanctify yourself in the daily fight, because the angelical entities don't keep themselves insulated in the heavenly jubilations and they work also for the perfecting of the world, expecting your angelization!” (page 103 of the same book). “Elevate ourselves, therefore, in the Spirit of the Lord, who invited us to the banquet of light, since today!” (page 104 of the same book). “Never broke the Thread of light which tie us, individually to the Divine Spirit!” (page 105 of the same book). “Remembering always that the Spirit is all!” (page 106 of the same). “In fraternity (sorority), like us, one to another, searching supreme joys of the union with the Divinity.” (page 347, the last one).
LXII – Jesus resurrects Lazarus
31 But Abraham answered him: If they don't hear Moses and the prophets, neither they will be persuaded, even one from the dead resuscitates. (Luke, XVI, 31 – chapter XLIX).
1 Lazarus from Bethany (the village of Mary and her sister Martha) was sick.
2 This
Mary
, whose brother Lazarus was sick,
is the same who
anointed
the Lord with ointment, and dried his feet through her hair
. (chapter XXIX).
3 The sisters of Lazarus therefore ordered to say to him: Lord, behold who you love is sick.
4 But when Jesus heard these news, he said: This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God will be glorified.
5 Now, Jesus loved Martha, her sister and Lazarus.
6 When therefore he heard that Lazarus was sick, he delayed still two days in the place where he was.
7 After this he said to the disciples: Let us go to Judaea again.
8 The disciples said to him: Master,
the jews were just now seeking to stone you
; and you go back there again?
9 Jesus answered: Aren't twelve the hours of one daylight? If a man walks during the day, he doesn't
scandalize (stumble),
because he sees the
light of the world
;
10 but if a man walks during the night, he
scandalizes (stumbles – chapters LI and LIII),
because
he has no light
.
11 He spoke these things and he attached: Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I will awake him.
12 The disciples therefore said to him: Lord, if he is asleep, he will recuperate himself.
13 But Jesus had spoken about his death; but they thought that he had spoken about the rest of the sleep.
14 Then Jesus told them clearly: Lazarus is dead.
15 I AM content of not being there for your cause, for that you will be able to believe. However let us go to him.
16 Then Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to the others: Let us also go, in order to die with him.
17 When Jesus arrived, he discovered that he had already been in the tomb for four days.
18 Now Bethany was about fifteen furlongs (1 furlong = 201,16 meters, then 3017,40 meters) near from Jerusalem.
19 Many among the jews had come to console Martha and Mary concerning the death of their brother.
20 Therefore when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary still sat down in the house.
21 Martha said to Jesus: Lord, if you were here, my brother wouldn't have died.
22 But I know that, even now, whatever you will ask to God, God will concede to you.
23 Jesus said to her: Your brother will resurrect.
24 Martha replied: I know that
he will resuscitate in the resurrection at the last day
.
25 Jesus said:
I AM the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, still he dies, he will live yet
;
26
and whoever lives and believes in me, he won't die eternally
. Do you believe in this?
27 She answered: Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come to the world.
28 After saying this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, whispering: The Master is come and calls you.
29 When she heard this, she stood up quickly, and went to him.
30 Now Jesus wasn't still arrived to the village, but he was yet where Martha met him.
31 Then there were jews consoling Mary in the house. When they saw that she stood up quickly and went out, they followed her, presuming that she had gone to weep in the tomb.
32 When Mary arrived where Jesus was, seeing him, she kneed at his feet saying: Lord, if you were here, my brother wouldn't have died.
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and also the jews' (who came with her) weeping, his Spirit shook, and he disturbed himself.
34 Jesus said: Where did you sepulcher him? They answered: Lord, come and see!
35 Jesus wept.
36 The jews said: Lo he loved him!
37 But some among them said: Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of the blind one, have avoided the death of Lazarus?
38 Jesus, shaking himself again, came to the tomb. The tomb was a grotto and there was a stone before the entrance.
39 Then Jesus ordered: Take the stone away. Martha, the sister of the dead one, said to him: Lord, the body must be stinking because he is dead since four days ago.
40 Jesus answered her: Didn't I say to you that,
if you believe, you will see the glory of God
?
41 So they took the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes to the heaven and said:
Father, I accomplish the grace because you heard me
.
42 Besides,
I knew that you always listen to me
, but I said thus because of the multitude present in body,
for that they believe that you sent me
.
43 After this speech, he cried aloud: Lazarus, come out here!
44 He who was dead came out, having feet and hands bandaged with gauzes. His face was covered with a napkin. Jesus ordered: Untie him, and let him go.
45 Therefore many among the jews, who came to visit Mary, believed in him when they regarded what he did. (John, XI, 1-45).
122. Mary from Bethany, sister of Lazarus and Martha was the sinner who had washed the feet of Jesus (Luke, VII, 36-50 – chapter XXIX). “In the lethargy, the body is not dead, for that there are functions which still accomplishes there themselves; there the vitality is hidden, as in the chrysalis (example: silkworm, the author), but the vitality isn't annihilated; gold, the Spirit is united to the body so much so the body lives; as long as the links (gauzes) are torn by the dead one and by the disintegration of the human organs, the separation is complete and there the Spirit doesn't have greater price. When a man who has the appearances of the death appreciates the life, it is because the death isn't complete.” (423 of SB). “Can we, through cares given in useful time, renew the links ready to tear and to replace to the life a being who, guilt of succors (aids), would be dead definitively? Yes, without doubt, and you have the proof every day. The magnetism is often, in this case, a mighty mean, because it replaces to the body the vital fluid which lacks to the body and which would be insufficient to amuse the game of the organs.” (424 of SB). Pain?! “Lethargy and catalepsy have the same principle, which is the momentary loss of the sensibility and of movement for an physiological cause still unexplained; they are different cause:
in lethargy, the suspension of the vital forces is general and gives to the body all the appearances of the death
; in catalepsy, the suspension is localized and can affect a place more or less extensive of the body, thus leave the intelligence free to manifest oneself, and this who doesn't permit to confuse with the death. The lethargy is always natural; the catalepsy is sometimes spontaneous, but this last one can be provoked and destroyed artificially by the magnetic action.” (Allan Kardec, 424 of SB). "Because you die everyday according to the word of a saint." (402 of SB). Lo Lazarus was lethargic and Jesus delayed until
the last minute of the last day
to resuscitate him for that they believed in Him. This happening explains the parable of the Lazarus of the chapter XLIX. The grotto represents the uterus, from where the baby goes out reembodied and soon he receives the bands.
46 But others went to the pharisees and told them the achievement, which Jesus had done.
47 Then the main priests and the pharisees called a
Council
, and said: What will we do? This man does signs too much.
48 If we let him thus, all men will believe in him; and the romans will come and take away not only our land but also our nation.
49 But a certain one among them:
Caiaphas
, the highest priest of that year, frightens them: You don't know anything at all.
50 Why don't you settle your accounts?
It is convenient for you that a unique man dies for the people
, for that the whole nation don't perish.
51 Gold he didn't say this himself; but, being the highest priest of that year,
he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation
;
52 and not only for the nation,
but also to unite together in one all the children of God who were scattered internationally
.
53 Since that day they
counseled
themselves that they would kill him.
54 Therefore Jesus walked no more publicly among the jews; but he went to a place near to the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. And there he remained with the disciples.
55 The Passover of the jews was close; and many from out of Jerusalem went up to there before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 There they searched for Jesus and while they were in the temple, they whispered one to another: What do you think? Won't he come to the feast?
57 Now the main priests and the pharisees had given commandment for that, if any man knew where he was, he would denounce him, in order to arrest him. (John, XI, 46-57).
123. “Is the restriction of the cases in which we apply the capital punishment an index of progress in the civilization? Can you doubt? Don't your Spirit shake in reading the recipe of the human butcheries which we did erstwhile in the name of the justice, and often
in honour of the Divinity
, the tortures we did the condemned suffers, and even to the accused, in order to snatch from him, through the excess of pains, the avowal of a crime which he hasn't often committed? Ouch! Well, if you had lived there in those times, you would gold to think all very natural; and maybe you, judge, would gold to do all likewise. It is thus that who seems to be just a while, seems barbarian latter. Only the divine laws are eternal; human laws change attached to the progress; they will change still until they will be put equal to the godly laws.” (763 of SB). The jews wanted to sacrifice Jesus in honour of God. They wanted to immolate that who John, the Baptist called the Lamb of God. "It is to this antagonism between the charity and the selfishness, it is to the this usurpation of this leprosy of the human heart that the Christianity must haven't still accomplished all his mission. It is to you, new apostles of the belief and who the superior Spirits clarify, who charge the job and the duty of extirpating this evil to give to the Christianity all his might and disencumber the way of the
stones
who obstaculize his march. Hunt the selfishness of the earth for that she can gravitate inside the ladder of the worlds, cause he is the time in what the humanity returns to dress his virile (masculine) gown (toga)," (Emmanuel, GAS, XI, 11).
3 Then the tempter approached and said: If you are Son of God, order these
stones
to become
bread
.
4 But he answered: It is written: Man won't live only of bread, but of each word that comes from the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil takes him into the holy city; and he set him on the top of the temple,
6 and said to him: If you are the Son of God throw yourself down: because it is written: He will order his angels to guard you; and, they will support you on their hands, for you don't
scandalize (stumble)
against a
stone
.
7 Jesus said to him: It is also written: You won't attempt the Lord your God. (Matthew, IV, 3-7, chapter XII).
LXIII – Mary from Bethany perfumes Jesus again
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who Jesus resurrected.
2 So they made a supper to him there; Martha was serving; Lazarus was one of them who were sat at the table with him.
3 Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and
anointed
the feet of Jesus, and dried his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the perfume of the ointment.
4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said:
5
Why wasn't this ointment sold for three hundred denaryes, which would be given to the paupers
?
6
He said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag, he took away what was put inside
.
7 However Jesus said:
Leave her! She will keep for the day of my mummification
.
8 Because you have the paupers always with you; but you don't have me always.
9 A great multitude of the jews knew that he was there; and they came, not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had resurrected.
10
But the main priests counseled themselves that they would kill Lazarus too
;
11 because many of the jews came back believing in Jesus in reason of him. (John, XII, 1-11).
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon, the leper,
7 a woman approached to him having a vase of alabaster full of precious balsam, which she spilled on his head, as he was at the table.
8 But when the disciples saw this, they became indignant and said: What is this waste for?
9
This perfume could be sold for much money to be given to the paupers
.
10 But Jesus, knowing this, said to them: Why do you annoy this woman? She practised a good work on me.
11 Cause you have the
indigent ones
always with you; but you don't have me always.
12
For that she shed this perfume on my body for my sepulture
.
13 Truly I say to you:
Wherever this gospel will be preached in the whole world, what this woman has done to me will also spoken for her memory
. (Matthew, XXVI, 6-13).
3 While he was in Bethany in the house of Simon, the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of balm of pure nard very expensive; and she broke the flask, and drain over Jesus' head.
4 But some of them resented themselves, saying: What is this extravagance for?
5
This balm could be sold for more than three hundred denaryes, and given to the indigent ones
. And they whispered against her.
6 But Jesus said: Leave her; why do you annoy her? She practiced a good action for me.
7 Because you have the indigent ones always with you, and whenever you can give goods for them, but you don't have me always.
8
She did what she could do: She has
anointed
my body for my burial in advance
.
9 Truly I say to you:
Wherever this evangel will be preached over the whole world, what she did to me will also told for her remembrance
. (Mark, XIV, 3-9).
124. Mary from Bethany was grateful to God because He had resurrected her brother. For this she anointed her with perfume. However, the disciples supposed that it was better to give to the indigent ones the money of the sale. Jesus decides that not and order to register in the
Gospel, which had already been written by the evangelists,
the work of the woman who had been sinner (chapter XXIX). Cause they desired to perfume the dead body of Jesus the women were the first ones to see Him resurrected.
LXIV – Jesus goes triumphal into Jerusalem
9 Rejoice greatly, oh! daughter of Zion; exult, oh! daughter of Jerusalem; lo your king comes to you; just and Saviour; lowly, and riding on a donkey, the foal of a female ass. (Zechariah, IX, 9).
25 Hosanna (save us), we ask you, oh! Lord; we ask you, oh! Lord, we ask prosperity.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; we have blessed you since the house of the Lord. (Psalm, CXVIII, 25-26).
35 Lo, your house will become disconsolate. Truly I say to you: You won't see me,
unless
you say:
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
(Luke, XIII, 35).
28 And, spoken thus, he went ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 It happened that when he approached to Bethphage and Bethany, attached to the
mount of Olives
, he sent two of his disciples,
30 saying: Go to the next village and there, just as you enter in, you will see an ass arrested, which none has ever ridden; untie it and bring it to me.
31 If any one asks you: Why do you loose him? You will answer thus: The Lord needs him.
32 And they who were sent met as he had said to them.
33 While they were loosing the ass, the owners said to them: Why do you loose the ass?
34 They said: The Lord needs him.
35 They brought him to Jesus and they put their dresses on the ass, they helped Jesus to submit him.
36 As he went, they extended their dresses in the way.
37 While they were approaching the descent of the
mount of Olives
, the whole multitude of the disciples began, jubilant, to praise God aloud, for all the mighty works which they had seen;
38 saying: Blessed is the King who came in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!
39 And some of the pharisees from the multitude said to him: Master, reprehend your disciples!
40 But he answered: I assure you that, if I order them to shut up,
the stones will cry
!
41 While he was coming, he saw the city, wept
42 and said:
If you knew yourself
, since today, the things, which are necessary to the peace! But now they are hid from your eyes.
43 Cause the days will come to you, when your enemies will surround you of trenches and, and they will decrease the circle on all sides,
44 and they will destroy you to the ground, and the children inside you;
they won't leave stone over stone
; because you didn't know the opportunity of the visit. (Luke, XIX, 28-44).
4 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said: These are your gods, oh! Israel, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
5 And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said: Tomorrow will be a feast to the Lord.
6 And they rose up early on the morning, and offered burnt offerings, and brought
peace
offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to joy. (Exodus, XXXII, 4-6).
25 And when Moses saw that
the people were nude
, because Aaron had let them
nude to shame them
among their enemies,
26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said: Who is on Lord's side, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
27 And he said to them: Thus said the Lord, the God of Israel:
Put your sword upon the side of each man
, and go to and from gate to gate throughout the camp, and
each man kills his brother
, and each man his friend, and
each man his neighbor
.
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and about three thousand men of the people fell down that day. (Exodus, XXXII, 25-28).
2 I AM the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 You will have no other gods before me.
4 You will not make to you a sculpture, nor any likeness of anything that is above on the skies, neither down over ground, or that is in the water underground:
5 you will not kneel before them, nor serve them; because I, the Lord, your God am a zealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, in the third and the fourth generations of them who hate me, (Exodus, XX, 2-5).
1 When they approached to Jerusalem and arrived to Bethphage, to the
mount of Olives
, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them:
2 Go to the village, which is before you, and immediately you will find a female ass tied and a little ass with her. Loose them, and bring them to me.
3 If any one say anything to you, you will say: The Lord needs them. Suddenly he will send them.
4 Now it happened, in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5 Tell the daughter of Zion: Lo, your King comes to you: Meek, and riding an ass, the foal of an ass.
6 The disciples went and did exactly as Jesus ordered them,
7 and brought the ass, and the foal. Then they put their clothes on them. And
Jesus sat on his foal of an ass
.
8 And the most part of the multitude spread their clothes on the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.
9 And the multitudes who went before him, and who followed him, cried: Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
10 When he arrived to Jerusalem, all the city was appalled, saying: Who is this?
11 And the multitudes cried: This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee! (Matthew, XXI, 1-11).
1 When they approached to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and to Bethany, attached to the
mount of Olives
, he sent two of his disciples
2 and said to them: Go to the village which before you and, suddenly as you enter in, you will see an ass arrested, which none has yet sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 If any one asks you: Why do you do this? You will say: The Lord needs him.
And soon he will send him back here
.
4 They went and found the little ass tied attached to the door, outside in the street; and they loose him.
5 Certain of them who were there complained: What do you do, do you loose the ass?
6 They answered according to Jesus had said; then they let them go.
7 They brought the little ass to Jesus and put on him their clothes; and
Jesus sat on his ass
.
8 And many spread their clothes on the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.
9 They who went before, and they who followed him, cried: Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Blessed is the kingdom, which comes, the kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest. (Mark, XI, 1-10).
12 The day after a great multitude who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 took branches of palm trees, and went to meet him, crying: Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
who is the King of Israel
!
14 And Jesus, having met a young ass, sat on it; as it is written:
15 Don't fear, daughter of Zion. Lo your King comes, sitting on the foal of an ass.
16 His disciples didn't understood these at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 The multitude who was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and resurrect him, was witnessing.
18 Because of this the multitude also went and met him, cause they heard that he had done this sign.
19 The pharisees said among themselves: Lo he prophesies nothing. Lo, the world is going after him. (John, XII, 12-19).
125. Yes. It was disgusting. All that multitude practised unspeakable acts. The pharisees became yet angrier against Jesus. Latter they would be all killed in the most different ways, including in the roman circus. The romans didn't like because he was declared king of the jews. These first christians were very simple and ignorant. Know yourself.
LXV – Jesus casts the demons out of the temple of Jerusalem
9 Cause the zeal of your house has devoured me, and the reprobations of them who reprove you fell over me. (Psalm, LXIX, 9).
7 I will bring to my holy mountain even them, I will feast them in my house of prayer; I will accept their holocausts and their sacrifices on my altar;
because my house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples
. (Isaiah, LVI, 7).
11 Is this house, which has my name, become a cave of robbers to your eyes? Lo I myself saw this, said the Lord. (Jeremiah, VII, 11).
2 You have established your force in the mouth of the babes and of them who suck the milk of mother, because of your adversaries, in order to shut up the revengeful enemy. (Psalm, VIII, 2).
10 Listen to the word of the Lord, princes of Sodom; pay attention to the law of our God, people of Gomorrah.
11 The Lord said: What do I profit in the multitude of your sacrifices? I AM tired of your barbecues of ewes, and of the adiposity of the toasted animals; and I don't delight in the blood of calves, nor of lambs, nor of male goats.
12
Who has required this on your hands? Is this to come before me? Is this to step on my court?
(Isaiah, I, 10-12).
13 The Passover of the jews was coming, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 He met in the temple those who sold oxen, ewes and pigeons, and also the money-changers sat;
15 and he made a whip of ropes, and cast them all out of the temple, as well the ewes and the oxen; and he spilled the money of the money-changers, and he turned their tables upside down,
16 and he said to the dealer of pigeons: Take these things out of here; don't become the house of my Father into a shop store.
17 His disciples remembered that it was written: The zeal for your house will eat me up.
18 The jews therefore asked him: What sign do you show to us, to do these things?
19 Jesus answered them:
Destroy this temple, and I will resurrect it in three days
.
20 The jews replied: This temple was built in forty six years. Do you want to resurrect it in three days?
21
But he was speaking about the temple of his body
.
22 When Jesus resuscitated from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spoke this; and they believed in the scripture, and in the word of Jesus.
23 While he was in Jerusalem during the Passover many believed in his name, because they saw his signs.
24 But Jesus didn't trust himself in them, because he knew all men.
25
And he needed not at all that any one would witness concerning any man; because he himself knew what the man was
. (John, II, 13-25).
12 Jesus went in the temple of God, and cast out all them who sold and bought there, and he also turned the tables of the cambists upside down, and the chairs of the dealers of pigeons.
13 He said to them: It is written: My house will be called a house of prayer; but you become it in a den of robbers.
14 The blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 But when the main priests and the scribes saw the might works that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple: Hosanna to the son of David! They became angry and asked him:
16 Do you hear what these are saying? Jesus answered: Yes. Didn't you ever read: You will reach perfect laud attached to the mouths of the babes and suckers of mamma's milk?
17 He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there. (Matthew, XXI, 12-17).
15 They went to Jerusalem. He entered in the temple, and began to cast those who sold and bought in the temple out from there. And he turned the tables of the exchangers upside down, and the chairs of the dealers of pigeons.
16 He didn't tolerate that any man carried any tool across the temple.
17 He taught saying: Isn't it written: My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations? But you became it a den of thieves.
18 And the main priests and the scribes heard this, and searched a way of killing him; cause they feared him, because all the multitude was surprised at his doctrine. (Mark, XI, 15-18)
45 Afterwards he entered in the temple, and cast those who sold out,
46 saying to them: It is written: My house will be a house of prayer. But you have become it a den of crooks.
47 He was teaching daily in the temple. But the main priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people searched to destroy him.
48 However they couldn't know how to do that; because all the people was controlled by him while he was speaking. (Luke, XIX, 45-48).
126. Lo that people thought that they pleased God preparing barbecue of animals and the dealers riched to sell the animals of the sacrifice even inside the temple. “In the house, yes, of primitive peoples, the matter snatches them over the Spirit; they abandon themselves to the instincts of a brute (donkey, ass, animal, beast), it is because they are generally cruel, because the moral sense isn't still developed in them. Afterwards, the primitive men must believe naturally that an animated creature has much more price to the eyes of God than a material body. This brought them to immolate sooner animals, and latter men, for that according to their false belief, they thought that the price of the sacrifice was analogous to the importance of the victim.” (669 of SB). To Jesus the material temple has no importance. He talks about his resurrection after the death in the cross, as being the resurrection of the temple in three days. Again he says that the signal is the sign of the cross. Lo our body is the temple of our Spirit: “All the men are brothers in God, because they are animated by the spirit, and cause they tend to the same goal (end).” (54 of SB). None is a slave but of the sin. Loose your temple, your body against your sins and no harm will happen to you. She who is a slave of the sin is arrested even when she is footloose at the streets. Don't become your temple (body) in your prisonment. More import than casting dealers of the temple is to cast the devils, which obsess (haunt) us. Jesus had already said to the woman from Samaria (chapter XI): “Jesus said to her: Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, you will worship the Father. You worship that which you don't know. We worship who we know; because salvation is from the jews. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; because these are whom Father looks for being his worshippers. God is Spirit; and they who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John, IV, 21-24). Thus we must cast the demons out using evangelic words. There isn't an exact place to worship God, cause He is Holy Spirit and we can worship Him wherever. Because He is everywhere. We can pray, make pleas out of the
temples of the stones
. “It is what Jesus taught us in the sublime prayer: dominical Oration, when He makes us say: 'Don't allow us to succumb to the temptation, but liberate us of the evil.Æ. This theory about the exciting cause of our acts
resuscitates
evidently all the teaching of the Spirits; not lonely she is sublime of morality, but we will attach that she reprehends the man before his own eyes;
she shows him free to shake an obsessing yoke, just as he is free to close his house to the annoying people
. (872 of SB). “The house is inviolable asylum of the individual, none can penetrate in there without the consent of the resident,” (article 5, XI, of the brazilian Constitution). Your sins attract your jailers: the bad Spirits who penetrate in your temple. Every tree who doesn't give good children will be cut down. Jesus is the temple of the doomsday.
LXVI – The fruitless fig tree
6 Then he spoke this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruits on it, but he found none.
7 And he said to the viticulturist: Lo, I come seeking fruits on this fig tree for three years, but I find none; cut it down; why is she occupying uselessly the ground?
8 But he answered: Lord, leave her lonely this year too, till I will excavate around her, and I will put dung (animal shit) on her.
9 If she will give birth to fruits, well; but if not, you can order to cut her down. (Luke, XIII, 6-9).
22 Then they come to Bethsaida, and brought to him a blind man. They asked him to touch him.
23 Taking the blind man by the hand, he left him out of the village; and when he applied spittle on his eyes, and setting his hands over him, he asked him: Do you see something?
24 He searched and said:
I see men; because I see them as the trees: walking
.
25 Then again he set his hands over his eyes; and he saw clearly, and was restored, and he distinguished everything perfectly.
26 He sent him away to his home, saying: Don't go in the village. (Mark, VIII, 22-26).
10
The ax has already been placed at the root of the trees. Each tree therefore that does not fructify good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire
. (Matthew, III, 10).
18 Soon in the morning when he came back to the city, he hungered.
19 And seeing a fig tree at the side of the way, he approached to her, and finding anything, but leaves, he said to her: You will give birth to fruits never more! And immediately the fig tree wilted.
20 When the disciples saw it, they surprised, saying: How did the fig tree wilt immediately?
21 Jesus answered: Truly I say to you: If you have faith, and you don't doubt, you will do not only what was done to the fig tree, but if you say to this mountain: Stand up and cast yourself in the sea, such thing will be happen.
22 And all things, whatever you will ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. (Matthew, XXI, 18-22).
12 The day after, when they went out from Bethany, he hungered.
13 And seeing a fig tree far with leaves, he came content to see if he would find anything. But when he approached to her, he found nothing but leaves; cause that wasn't the season of figs.
14 Then Jesus said to her: No man will eat fruit from you forever! And his disciples heard it. (Mark, XI, 12-14).
19 The evening came and they went out of the city.
20 While they passed in the morning, they saw the fig tree had faded from the roots.
21 Then Peter remembered and said: Master, lo, the fig tree who you
cursed
is faded.
22 Jesus said to them: Have faith in God.
23 Truly I say to you: Whoever will say to this mountain: Stand up and cast yourself in the sea; and don't doubt in his heart, but believe that it will happen; this will happen.
24 Therefore I say to you: All things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you will receive them, and you will have them.
25 And whenever you will be praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; for that your heavenly Father also can forgive your offenses.
26 But if you don't forgive, your heavenly Father won't forgive your offenses. (Mark, XI, 19-26).
127. “Can the grace and the slander attract the well and the evil over those who are object of them? God doesn't listen to an unjust curse, and he who pronounces her is guilty before His eyes. As we have the two opposed genies, the well and the evil, he can have there a momentary influence, even over the matter (body); but this influence doesn't have always place but by the volition of God, and as an increase of trial for her who is his object. Besides, more often we slander the harm ones, and we laud the good ones. The grace and the curse can't ever defile the Providence out of the way of the justice; she shakes the accused one who if he is mean, and her protection covers he who deserves her.” (557 of SB). Jesus had observed that the fig tree didn't fructify for three years and He gave more one year for that she, dunged, would give a blessed fruit. Still thus, she didn't fructify. Then Jesus said that the fig tree wouldn't ever give fruits again and she shriveled. Thus it happens to us. If we are harm, we don't give good fruits. Then the people curse us. The malediction falls over us and harms us. The uneasiness can reach even our body. In this case, the damage reached a fig tree. Lo we can fade the plants through our words. We can become them lush through good words if they are useful vegetables. In prayer, we can say (denounce) the sin of a brother to the assembly of the good Spirits. But we have to forgive that damned brother, for that God also forgives our offenses. The good Spirit is full of grace. He makes us laugh when He is cursed. But the bad Spirit harbors a grudge when he is accused. And this anger makes him suffer a lot. The women also must not to be homosexual.
LXVII – Jesus preaches during the feast
20 Now there were certain greeks among those who went up to worship during the feast.
21 Then these came to Philip who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him: Mister, we want to see Jesus.
22 Philip went to tell Andrew, Andrew and Philip communicated it to Jesus.
23 Jesus answered them: The hour when the son of Man will be glorified is come.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you:
If the grain of wheat falls down in the earth and doesn't die, he remains lonely; but if he dies, he produces much fruit
.
25 He who loves his life loses it; but he who hates his life in this world will preserve it to eternal life. (John, XII, 20-25).
16 If the
seed of the coition
goes out from any man, he will bathe all his flesh in water, and he will be impure until the evening. (Leviticus, XV, 16).
35 But anyone will say: How do the dead ones resurrect? In what body will they come?
36 Foolish one! Who you seed, won't be born, if he doesn't die first.
37 And when you sow, you don't sow a body, which will be, but mere grain, as the grain of wheat, or any other species of
seed.
38 But God gives to you a body as he wants, and a body adequate to each
seed
.
39 The flesh isn't always the same flesh. But there is the flesh of the fishes, the flesh of the birds, the flesh of the animals and the flesh of the men.
40 There are also heavenly bodies, and earthy bodies; but the glory of the heavenly body is one, and the glory of the earthy body is another.
50 I say this to you, brothers: Flesh and blood can't inherit the kingdom of God; neither corruption can inherit incorruption. (1 Corinthians, XV, 35-40 e 50).
21
Cause as the Father resurrects the deads and gives life to them, thus the Son also gives life to whom he wants
.
22
And the Father doesn't judge any man, but he has given to the Son all judgment
.
26
Because as
the Father is alive himself
, he also allowed the Son to be alive himself
.
27
And he gave him authority to judge,
because he is a son of man
.
28
Don't be surprised before this, because the hour comes, when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
,
and will come out.
777
29
They who have done
good
, to the
resurrection of life
; but they who have done
evil
, to the
resurrection of judgment
.
30
I can't do anything by myself; as I hear, I judge. My judgment is just, because I don't search my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
(John, V, 21-22 e 26-30).
1 The hand of the Lord was over me, and he brought me out through the Spirit of the Lord, and left me down in the middle of a valley; which was full of bones.
2 And he made me to walk round them. They were a lot in the surface of the valley and they were quite dry.
3 Then he asked to me:
Son of man!
Can these bones live? And I answered: Oh! Lord God, you know.
4 He said to me: Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Lo, I will blow the Spirit inside you, and you will live.
6 I will put nerves on you, will create flesh on you, will extend skin in you, will blow your spirit, and you will live. And you will know that I AM the Lord.
7 So I prophesied as he commanded. While I prophesied, there was a noise, a din of bones shaking and attaching, each bone to its bone.
8 I regarded, and, lo, there were nerves on them, the flesh raised, their skin was extended; but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me: Prophesy to the breath, prophesy,
son of man
, and say to the wind: Thus the Lord God says: Come from the four winds, oh! Spirit, and blow inside these deads, for that they can live.
10 I prophesied as he commanded. And they breathed, they lived, they stood up on their feet, a plentiful army.
11 Then he said to me:
Son of man!
These bones are the whole home of Israel. Behold, they say: Our bones are dried up, our hope is dead; we are exterminated.
12 Therefore prophesy to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your tombs, I will resurrect you from your tombs, oh! My people, I will bring you back to the earth of Israel.
13 And you will know that I AM the Lord, when I have opened your tombs, and made you to resurrect from your tombs, oh! my people.
14 I will put my Spirit among you, and you will live, and I will place you in your own earth. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken this and I happened, the Lord said. (Ezekiel, XXXVII, 1-14).
128. Through the parable of the seed, which dies, Jesus says that the seed must die in order to reborn. For that anyone can reembody and rejuvenate, he needs to die first. Jesus said through Ezekiel that he would reborn among those reembodied jews. The sign that He was the Lord would be the opening of the tomb of Lazarus (chapter LXII), who He resurrected, but who wasn't dead. Likewise those dried bones who He resurrected were Spirits who weren't dead. Those dried bones who resuscitated were Spirits of jews of the time of Jesus who wanted to reborn, whose bodies were dead, annihilated in the tombs. That episode told by Ezekiel happened in the kingdom of the heaven. They reborned through the seed of the coition (the union of the spermatozo÷n with the ovule). Jesus is the grain of the wheat who will die. But this doesn't mean that all His work will be lost. This means that the seed that He sowed will raise and will give many fruits. Many times we see our work collapse, but this just means that the seed is dying to take place to a beautiful and fructiferous tree. We came from the seed of the coition, we became trees and we give fruits who are our sons. And if our fruit isn't good, we will be cut down. We have to understand that only the life of our body in this world terminates and to learn to love the eternal life, which is the life of our Spirit. “This results in justifying in plenary assembly this which the Spirits have said to us many times: 'Don't afflict the opposition, everything that we will do against you will return for you, and
your greatest adversaries will serve your cause without wanting
. Against the will of God, the mean will of the men won't gold to prevail.'” (Allan Kardec, item V of the conclusion of SB). "Thus, does the Church, across the dogma of the resurrection of the flesh, does she signal (teach) herself the doctrine of the reincarnation? This is evident; this doctrine is besides the conclusion of the well of the things which has passed unperceived whose meaning we won't delay in comprehending; in a
little while
, we will recognize that the Spiritism results, at each step, from the same text of the Holy Scripture. The Spirits didn't come therefore to knock down the religion, as anyones intend; they come, on the contrary, to confirm and sanction religion by incontestable proofs. But, as the time is come of not to employ the figured language, they express themselves without allegory and they give to the things a clear and precise meaning which can't be subject to any false interpretation." (Saint Louis, 1011 of SB).
26 If any woman serve to me, follow me, and where I AM, my servant will also be there. If any woman serve to me, the Father will honor her.
27 Now my soul is anguished; and what will I say? Father, would you save me of this hour? But I came because of this hour.
28 Father, glorify your name. Then
a voice came from heaven
:
I have already glorified your soul, and I will glorify you again
.
29 The multitude, so, who stood up there, and heard him, said there was a thunder. Others said: An
angel
spoke to this soul.
30 Jesus explained: This voice didn't come because of me, but because of you.
31 This is the day of the judgment of this world; now the
prince
of this world will be cast out.
32 And I,
when I be will be resurrected from the earth, I will attract all to myself
.
33 However he said this, meaning the genus of death he would die. (John, XII, 26-33).
6 I said:
You are gods
, and all of you are sons of the Highest.
7 However you will die like men. And you will fall as any
princes
. (Psalm LXXXII, 6-7).
129. Jesus has already said that the son of woman came to serve and not to be served. The Father honors that who serves. The Father of the sky is an angel, a Holy Spirit. The angels, archangel and seraphins “are the pure Spirits: these who are in the highest degree of the ladder and rejoin
all
the perfections.” (128 of SB). Through the mediunic phenomenon of the direct voice the Spirit of God talks as a thunder to the men. Jesus is a seed, which will fall down on earth and will stand up as the wheat attracting the attention of all. We will have to rejoin all the masculine and feminine perfections.
34 Then the multitude replied: We have heard concerning the law that the Christ remains for ever, and how do you say: The
Son of Man
must be resurrected?
Who is this Son of Man
?
35 Jesus answered: Still a
little while
the
light is among you
. Walk while you have the light, for that the darkness doesn't reach you; he who walks in the darkness doesn't know where he goes to.
36
While you have the light, believe in the light, for that you will become sons of the light.
Jesus spoke these things, and he went away himself hiding from them. (John, XII, 34-36).
9 Jesus answered: Aren't twelve the hours of one daylight? If a man walks during the day, he doesn't
scandalize (stumble),
because he sees the
light of the world
;
10 but if a man walks during the night, he
scandalizes (stumbles – chapters LI and LIII),
because
he has no light
. (John, XI, 9-10).
5 And this is the message, which we have heard from him and announce to you:
God is light
and there is darkness in him not at all. (1 John, I, 5).
130. Jesus declares that he is done of light. Therefore, he didn't have a body of flesh equal as ours. The sons of men saw His perispirit (psychosoma). We must believe in Jesus-Light in order to be sons of the light. Lo we are Spirits and when we are disembodied we are made of photons of the light. We are sons of God and God-Jesus is light. Jesus has already said: “
You are the light of the world. A city built on the top of a mountain can't hid oneself
." (Matthew, V, 14). So we are sons of men, sons of the light who conducts the world. Then Jesus became invisible and impalpable before those men. Jesus is light. Suddenly they couldn't see the light. Heavens! I don't believe!
37 But although he had done so many signs before them, still thus they didn't believe in him.
38 In order to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: Lord, who has believed in our preaching? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 For this cause they couldn't believe, because Isaiah had also said:
40 He has blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart. For that they don't see through their eyes, neither understand through their heart, and proselyte themselves, and I will heal them.
41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory; and he spoke about him.
42 However even many leaders believed in him; but they didn't confess it because of the pharisees, in order not to be cast out from the synagogue.
43 Because they loved more the glory from the men than the glory from God. (John, XII, 37-43).
1 Who has believed in our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? (Isaiah, LIII, 1).
9 Then he said: Go, and tell this people: You will indeed hear, but you will not understand; and you will indeed see, but you will not perceive.
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their eyes heavy, and shut their ears; so they won't see with their eyes, and they won't hear with their ears, and they won't understand with their heart, and they won't proselyte themselves, and they won't be cured. (Isaiah, VI, 9-10).
131. Those pharisees had the heart hard. Although they had saw Jesus vanish before all in the middle of the multitude of the temple of Jerusalem, they didn't believe in Him. They were men of very few belief. They believed lesser than Thomas, the Didymus, who believed in what he saw. However, there were some leaders among them who believed in what they saw, but they didn't recognize Him because for them the glory of the matter is greater than the glory of God.
44 Jesus said aloud (cried): Who believes in me,
doesn't believe in me
, but in him who sent me.
45
And who sees (regards) me, sees that who sent me
.
46
I came as light to the world
, in order to whoever believes in me doesn't remain in the darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and doesn't keep them, I don't judge him; because I didn't come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Who rejects me, and doesn't receive my words, has one to judge him; the word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.
49 Because I didn't speak myself; but the Father who sent me, he has commanded what I must say, and what I must announce.
50 And I know that
his commandment is eternal life
. So the things which I say, I speak just as the Father has said to me to speak. (John, XII, 44-50).
5 While I AM in the world,
I AM the light of the world
. (John, IX, 5).
132. Jesus reappears before them and says that He is the Father, the Holy Spirit, cause who sees Him, sees the Father. He is clear in saying that He came as light to the world. And the light is immaterial. “Is this fluid that which we designate under the name of electricity? We have said that it is transformable of numberless combinations; this which you call electric fluid, magnetic fluid, are changes of the universal fluid, which isn't, speaking to the proper, but a matter more perfect, more subtle, and which we can regard as independent.” (27, II, of SB). According to the Quantic Science, the electron has charge of 4,802 x 10 (elevated to û10) u. e.; but the photon or quantum has charge of 6,625 x 10 (elevated to û27) u. e.. Therefore, the photons of light are universal fluid much more little than an electron. According to the quantic number
spin
, the electron gyrates, and it is able to gyrate according to the hands of a clock or not. Electrons, which gyrate to the same side, have equal charges and they go away. Electrons, which gyrate to opposed sides, attract themselves. The perispirit (psychosoma) of Jesus was made of the subtlest light. Jesus says that the eternal life is commandment. Lo it is impossible to kill. It is impossible disobey the laws of God. The Spirit lives eternally. We can kill the body of flesh, but not the Spirit. Jesus reduced his selfishness to nothing saying that all His words belonged to the Father.
LXVIII – The pharisees and their hypocrisies
23 When he arrived to the temple, the main priests and the elders of the people came to him who was teaching, and said: Through what authority do you do these things? Who gave this authority to you?
24 And Jesus answered them: I also will ask you one question, if you answer me, I likewise will tell you through what authority I do these things:
25 From where was the baptism of John? From heaven or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying: If we say: from heaven, he will say to us: Why then didn't you believe in him?
26 But if we say: from men; we fear the multitude; because they all recognize John as a prophet.
27 Finally they answered Jesus: We don't know. He also said to them: I also don't tell you who gave this authority to me. (Matthew, XXI, 23-27).
30 I can't do anything by myself;
as I hear, I judge
. My judgment is just, because I don't search my own will, but the will of him who sent me. (John, V, 30).
27 Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the main priests, the scribes and the elders came to him
28 and said: Through what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you authority to do these things?
29 Jesus answered: I will ask of you one question, if you answer me, I will tell you through what authority I do these things:
30 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men? Answer me!
31 And they whispered themselves: If we say: from heaven, he will say: Why then didn't you believe in him?
32 But if we say: from men, we feared the people. Because they all recognized John as a prophet.
33 Then they answered to Jesus: We don't know. And Jesus said to them: Neither I tell you through what authority I do these things. (Mark, XI, 27-33).
1 It happened, during one of those days, that he was teaching the people in the temple, evangelizing them, when the main priests and the scribes attached to the elders came to him
2 and they interrogated him: Tell us: Through what authority do you do these things? Or who is he who gave this authority to you?
3 He answered them: I also will ask a question to you; tell me:
4 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?
5 Then they reasoned among themselves: If we say: from heaven, he will say: Why didn't you believe in him?
6 But if we say: from men; all the people will stone us. Because they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Finally they answered: You don't know from where it was.
8 Jesus replied them: So I neither tell I you through what authority I do these things. (Luke, XX, 1-8).
133. “"Where do we see inside the primary cause a Supreme Intelligence and higher than all other intelligences? You have a proverb, which says this: 'By the work we recognize the worker.' Oh! Well! Regard the work and seek the worker. It is the pride, which generates the unbelief. The proud man doesn't want anything above him, this is because he calls himself strong Spirit. Pauper being who can be knocked out by a blow of the breath from God!” (9 of SB). The pharisees are hipocritical, this means, they make little critiques to God. They settle accounts with God! They are indeed very proud, really. "Why has God allowed that the Spirits can follow the way of the evil? How come you dare demanding God accounts of His acts? Do you think that you are able to comprehend His designs? However you can say this to yourself: The wisdom of God is inside the freedom which He leaves to each one to choose, thus each one has the merit of one's works.” (123 of SB).
LXIX – The parable of the two sons
28 What do you think? A man had two sons. He came to the first, and said: Son, go to work today in the viticulture (vineyard).
29 He answered: Yes, mister! But he didn't go.
30 He came to the second and said likewise. But he answered: No, mister. I don't want. However, he regretted and went.
31 Which between them did the will of their father? They said: The second. Jesus said to them: Truly I say to you:
The publicans and the prostitutes will go in the kingdom of God before you
.
32 Because John came to you in the way of the virtue, and you didn't believe in him; but the publicans and the prostitutes believed in him and regretted themselves. Even when you saw this, you didn't regret yourselves in order to believe in him. (Matthew, XXI, 28-32).
134. Jesus wasn't speaking about the system of social castes of the India, in which the son must accomplish the same work of the father. Cause the own Christ wasn't carpenter as Joseph. The reformation which He did was in the human conscience and not in wooden furniture. The publicans and the prostitutes will go in the Kingdom of God before the pharisees, because they regretted, while the pharisees weren't regretted of their sins. The publicans and the prostitutes who won't regret certainly will go to the Kingdom of Heaven (will die) before the pharisees because of several sicknesses transmissible through the sex. “God condemns the abuse and not the use of the faculties who he has married.” (772 of SB). "Or don't you know that he who marries a prostitute is one body with her? Because they both, he said, will become one flesh." (1 Corinthians, VI, 16). “The welfare is a natural desire. God doesn't defend but the self-abuse (self-sex), because the abuse is contrary to the conservation; He didn't make a CRIME to research the welfare, if this welfare isn't acquired at the use of none, and if he doesn't finger to enfeeble neither the moral forces, neither the physical forces.” (719 of SB). “If the man undertook only the things related to his faculties, he would almost always succeed; this what ruins him is his self-love and his ambition, which makes him leave this way and catch the desire of satisfying certain passions as a vocation. He shatters and it is his guilt; but instead of arresting himself, he delights in accusing his Star. This is a good handicraftsman and he gains honorably his life, who will be a malevolent poet and Starve (Starred) of hunger (angry). Then he golded to place for all the world if each one knew to put oneself in her place.” (862 of SB). “The inferior Spirits have occupations fitting to their nature. Do you trust to the hodman and to the dunce the works of a man of intelligence?” (563, II, of SB). “The importance of the missions is analogous to the abilities and to the sublimity of the Spirit. The postman who carries a dispatch accomplishes also a mission but this isn't that mission of the general.” (571 of SB). “What criterion does the placement of the intelligence obey in the professional field? Each intelligence is settled in the place where one can produce more and better.” (Emmanuel, 3 of item III of the book “Laws of Love”, psychographed by Francisco Cândido Xavier). The pharisees promised to work in the work of the Lord, but they gave up. Their guilt is much greater. The publicans and the prostitutes, when they aren't sorry also work to the Lord cause they apply the law of the justice impoverishing, making sick and killing the prodigal sons (spenders – do you remember the chapter LIII?) who serve to the god Momus, although, likewise, they will die sooner of self-destruction.
LXX – The parable of the Christ and the prophets
10 Know you all! All the people of Israel! This man who stands here before you was healed in the name of Jesus Christ from Nazareth, to whom you crucified, to whom God resurrected from the dead.
11 He is the stone who was made in
nothing
by you, the builders, he became the
anglestone
. (Acts of the Apostles, IV, 10-11).
22 The stone who the builders rejected is become the
anglestone
.
23 This is work of the Lord and this is marvelous to our eyes.
24 This is the day which the Lord made; we will rejoice and be glad in him. (Psalm CXVIII, 22-24).
9 When you are come into the land which the Lord your God gave to you, you will not learn to do the abominations of those nations.
10 There will not be found with you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that uses soothsaying, one that practises augury, or an enchanter, or a witch doctor,
11 or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 Because whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord your God does drive them out from before you.
13 You will be perfect like the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy, XVIII, 9-13).
5
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams will be dead
, because he has spoken rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of servitude, to put you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in.
So you will put away the evil from the middle of you
. (Deuteronomy, XIII, 5).
33 Pay attention on another parable: There was a man, householder, who planted a vineyard (viticulture). He build a fence of shrubs and trees around her, excavated a place to step on the grapes, built a tower, rend her for some viticulturists and traveled to another country.
34 When the season of the fruits arrived, he sent his servants to the viticulturists, in order to receive his fruits.
35 However the viticulturists caught his servants, beat one, killed another and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first time; and they treated them likewise.
37 Finally he sent his own son to them, saying: They will respect my son.
38 But the viticulturists, when they saw the son, whispered among themselves: This is the heir; now, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.
39 And they caught him, cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 Therefore when the lord of the vineyard come, what will he do to those viticulturists?
41 They said to him: He will kill awfully those evil men, and he will rent the vineyard to other viticulturists, who will send to him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus said to them: Didn't you ever read in the scriptures: The stone who the builders rejected, the same was become the
anglestone
. This was from the Lord, is this marvelous to our eyes?
43 Therefore I say to you: The kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation who will bring the fruits.
44 He who falls against this stone will be broken in pieces; and will be scattered as dust he whom this stone will fall over.
45 When the main priests and the pharisees heard his parables, they understood that he was speaking about them.
46 When they searched to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him as a prophet. (Matthew, XXI, 33-46).
1 Jesus began to speak to them in parables: A man planted a vineyard, made a fence of thickets and trees around her, hoed a place to step on the grapes, built a tower, rend her for viticulturists and traveled to another country.
2 At the season he sent a servant to the viticulturists in order to receive the fruits of the vineyard from them.
3 But they caught him, beat him and sent him away empty.
4 Again he sent to them another servant. They wounded him in the head and used their mashers in him.
5 He still sent another. They killed him and many others; beating ones, and killing others.
6 He had yet one, his worshipped son; he sent him at last to them, saying: They will respect my son.
7 But those viticulturists whispered among themselves: This is the heir; now, let's kill him and the inheritance will be ours.
8 Then they caught him, killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 So what will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come to exterminate those viticulturists, and he will rent the vineyard to others.
10 Haven't you still read this scripture: The stone who the builders rejected, this came to be the
anglestone
;
11 this is from the Lord, and isn't this marvelous to our eyes?
12 They searched to arrest him because they comprehended that he spoke the parable against them, but they feared the multitude, so they left him and went away. (Mark, XII, 1-12).
9 Jesus passed to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, rend her to viticulturists and traveled to another country for a long time.
10 At the season he sent a servant to the viticulturists, for that they would give the fruit of the vineyard to him. But the viticulturists beat him and sent him away empty.
11 He sent yet another servant, but they beat him too, handled him shamefully and sent him away empty.
12 He sent yet a third; they also wounded him and cast him out.
13 Then the lord of the vineyard said: What will I do? I will send my worshipped son; maybe they will respect him.
14 But when the viticulturists saw him, they reasoned among them, saying: This is the heir; let's kill him, for that the inheritance will be ours.
15 They cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 He will come and destroy these viticulturists, and will rent the vineyard to others. When they heard it, they said: God forbids!
17 But Jesus looked inside them, and said: What then is this that is written: The stone who the builders rejected, the same came to be the
anglestone
?
18 Every one who falls against this stone will be broken in pieces; but if this stone falls over whomever, this one will scatter as dust.
19 Exactly in that time the scribes and the main priests wanted to lie their hands on him, because they perceived that he spoke this parable against them; however they feared the people. (Luke, XX, 9-19).
135. According to the interpretation of the flesh, we must understand that the right of property must be respected. According to the interpretation of the Spirit, the lord of the vineyard is the heavenly Father. The servants are the prophets who God sent. The bad viticulturists are all those who persecute the prophets, the men who come to bring the messages of the kingdom of heaven, many times because they don't understand their work. The son of the lord of the vineyard is Jesus. This parable is for reembodiment, cause the prophets, like Elijah (John the Baptist – chapter VIII), have already existed as Spirits before than their sending by the Father, just as Jesus. They weren't created in the moment of the conception of the ovule, according to the materialism. The word English comes from the word angle. Although the Spirit attaches oneself to the ovule in the exact time of the conception of the zygote.
LXXI – The parable of the marriage
12 He said also to him who invited him: When you make a dinner or a supper, don't call your friends, neither your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors; for that it will happen that they will reinvite you, rewarding you.
13 However when you make a feast, invite the paupers, the maimed, the lame, the blind;
14 and you will be well-beatified; because they don't have how to recompense you; but you will receive you recompense in the resurrection of the just ones. (Luke, XIV, 12-14).
1 Jesus answered and spoke to them in parables again:
2 The kingdom of heaven is likened to a certain king, who rejoiced making a feast of the wedding anniversary (jubilee of the first coition, copulation) for his son.
3 Then he sent his servants to call them who were invited to the feast; but these didn't want to come.
4 He still sent other servants, saying: Tell them who are invited: Lo, I have already prepared my banquet; my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and all things are ready; come to the feast of that marriage.
5 However they didn't mind and went to their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business;
6 and some lay their hands on his servants, treated them shamefully and killed them.
7 The king became wroth. He sent his troops and exterminated those murderers and inflamed their city.
8 Then he said to his servants: The feast is ready, but the invited guests weren't worthy.
9 Therefore cross the ways and invite as many as you will meet, to the feast of that marriage.
10 Those servants went to the ways, united altogether all as many as they met, both bad and good; and the bedroom of the banquet was full of invited guests.
11 However when the king came to see the invited guests, he regarded a man there who wasn't wearing
naked clothing
.
12 He asked him: Friend, how come you came here inside without
clothing of marriage
? He shut up.
13 Then the king ordered to the servants
: Tie his hands and feet and cast him outside to the darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth
.
14
Because many are called, but few are chosen
. (Matthew, XXII, 1-14).
15 Listening to these words one among them who were sat at the table with him said to him: Well-beatified is she who will eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 But he answered: Certain woman made a great supper and she invited many.
17 At the time of the supper he sent his servant to call the invited guests: Come, because all things are ready.
18 However all began to excuse at one o'clock. The first said to her: I have bought a farm and I must need to see it; I pray you to excuse me.
19 Another said: I bought five yoke of cows and I go to prove them; I pray you to have excused me.
20 Another said: I have married, so I can't come.
21 The servant came back, telling these to his house maid. Then the master of the house, angry, said to his servant: Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city and bring here the poor, the maimed, the blind and the lame.
22 Latter the servant said: Lord, everything is done as you commanded, and there is room yet.
23 The lord replied to the servant: Go out to the ways and by-roads, and constrain all to come in, for that my house will be full.
24 Because I declare to you: None of those men who were invited will taste my supper. (Luke, XIV, 15-24).
7 He regarded the invited guests choosing the first places, so he spoke a parable to them:
8 When you will be invited to a marriage, don't seek the first place; because a worthier invited guess will happen.
9 Then that who invited you, will come and say to you: Give your place to this. Then you will take the last place ashamed.
10 On the contrary, when you will be invited, go and take the last place; so that who invited you will tell you: Friend, sit down here. Then you will have glory in the presence of all the invited guests.
11 Cause every one who exalts himself will be humiliated; but the one who bemeans oneself will be exalted. (Luke, XIV, 7-11).
136. Jesus turns to refer about the matter of the chapters XV and LVI. The people like feasts a lot. And we know that men and women like feasts because they deceive themselves in thinking that they will reach someone of the opposed sex in the feasts and thus they will accomplish a marriage. Because the love is the theme more appreciated by all the people. Many marry in feasts, because the marriage is the union of the flesh. The oxen and the fat calves are those who know this. They avoid feasts. They know that this feast is the same of the parable of the prodigal son (chapter LIII). They are the brothers of the spender son who likes prostitutes. Many times the prodigal son goes to a feast, marries to the first woman who appears before him, but latter he sends a letter of repudiation, accusing her of being a prostitute. Because according to him, there were other invited naked guests in that marriage. The party-givers don't like to invite ugly people to their feasts. Because they judge according to the appearance. They want only and such only beautiful and well-dressed people. Cause this, Jesus orders to invite those who reembodied in the resurrection of the judgement. To show them the way they are taking those who realize such feasts. Those who suffered disgrace are being punished for their sins and these feast attenders will take a way similar to those. To each sin coincides a castigation. That who says that sexual relation isn't marriage will go to the darkness, this will suffer a lot and will tolerate the resurrection of the judgement among all those disgraced who Jesus healed. And how many didn't he heal? Many will reincarnate with defects in the body and they will live in a house full of people similar to them. Do you want a perfect body? So don't sin. "All things are lawful for me; but not all things are convenient. All things are lawful for me; but I won't be dominated by any of them." (1 Corinthians, VI, 12). God doesn't forbid anything. But who sins is punished and who makes the well is rewarded.
LXXII – The tribute
15 Then the pharisees went away, and counseled themselves how they would trap Jesus in his words.
16 And they send to him their disciples, attached to the herodians, to say: Master, we know that you are the true and you teach the way of God in truth. That you don't mind whoever, because you don't regard the appearance of the men.
17 So tell us: What do you think? Is it lawful to pay the tribute (impost, tax) to Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their pitfall and said: Why do you prepare a trial to me, hypocrites?
19 Show me the
coin of the tribute
. They brought a denarius (roman silver coin equal to ten cents – dimes) to him.
20 He said to them: Whose is this image and words?
21 They answered: Caesar's. Then he said to them:
So give to Caesar, which belongs to Caesar, but give to God which, belongs to God
.
22 When they heard it, they admired themselves, left him and went away. (Matthew, XXII, 15-22).
24 When they have come to Capernaum, the collectors of the impost of the
coin of the tribute
came to Peter and asked him: Doesn't your Master pay the
coin of the tribute
?
25 He answered: Yes. Coming in the house, Jesus spoke in advance to him: What do you think, Simon? From whom the kings of the earth collect their imposts or tributes? From the sons from their insides (entrails) or from outsiders?
26 Peter answered: From outsiders. Jesus said to him: So the sons are
exempt
.
27 But, for that we don't scandalize them, go to the sea, cast a fishhook, and take out the first fish which you will harpoon; opening its mouth you will encounter a state piece. Take it and give to them for me and for you. (Matthew, XVII, 24-27).
13 And they send to him some pharisees and some herodians, for that they would catch him in any word.
14 Arriving they said to him: Master, we know that you are true, and you don't mind whoever, because you don't regard the appearance of the men, but you teach the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not? Will we pay, or won't we?
15 But he knew their hypocrisy, and answered: Why do you make trials for me? Bring me a denarius for that I see it.
16 They brought it. He asked them: Whose is this image and words? They answered: Caesar's.
17 Jesus said to them:
Give to Caesar, which is Caesar's, but give to God, which is God's
. They admired him greatly. (Mark, XII, 13-17).
20 They watched him, and sent spies, who pretended themselves to be just, to cheat him in his words, so they would deliver him to the jurisdiction and to the authority of the governor.
21 They asked him: Master, we know that you say and teach justly, and you don't consider the appearance of any person, but you teach the way of God in truth;
22 Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 But perceiving their artifice, Jesus answered:
24 Show me a denarius. Whose is these image and words? They answered: Caesar's. He said to them:
25
Then give to Caesar, which is Caesar's, but give to God, which is God's
.
26 They couldn't cheat his words before the people; they shut up marveled before his answer. (Luke, XX, 20-26).
137. The pharisees certainly thought that Jesus was some anarchist and for this they took public servants of Herod to use them as witnesses against Jesus. Jesus orders give to Caesar the coin because Jesus-God doesn't need of material goods to live. However, Peter answers wrong saying that Jesus would pay the tribute. According to the human laws, Jesus was son of David, king of the jews (lifetime charge), therefore He was
exempt
of imposts. Then in the mouth of the fish, the stone of scandal, there was only one coin corresponding to the tribute, which Peter owed. This scandalized Pilate. Jesus will be accused of denying the payment of the tribute. Pilate will ask him if He is the king of the jews and what the truth is. However, Jesus thinks that the kingdom of the matter must be governed by the men. “Those who execute material things are always of an inferior order, at the home of the spirits as the home of men." (538, II, of SB). “God doesn't dedicate oneself to a direct action on the matter.” (536, II, of SB). In this manner, we can't buy the kingdom of heaven. God isn't a marketer. He doesn't need the matter to live. “And if I distributed all my wealth to feed the paupers, and if I still give my body to be burned, but I didn't have love (charity), this would profit nothing to me.” (1 Corinthians, XIII, 3). Jesus is favorable to the payment of the tenth to Caesar, lo Caesar is an inferior Spirit: “But elevated Spirits leave them generally in the attributions of the subaltern Spirits, apter to the material things than to the intelligent things.” (106 of SB). Jesus ordered Peter to, working, to harpoon a fish to meet inside the coin of the tribute, which he would use to pay Caesar who administers the Republic, the collective patrimony belonged to the people. Peter was a fisherman.
LXXIII – The parable of the calculus of the tower
28 So who among you, intending to build a tower, don't you first sit down and count the cost, in order to verify if you have means to conclude the work?
29 Gold (or) it will happen that you will lie the stones of the base, but you won't be able to finish, lo all will start to mock you,
30 saying: This man began to build, but he couldn't finish. (Luke, XIV, 28-30).
138. This parable seems totally material. But it isn't. Are we building our house in the sand (stones of scandal) or in the anglestone (Jesus)? How many men don't build their towers on stones of scandal? The idols, icons, apostles, artists, athletes, king Momus, etc? In order to build a good house it isn't enough to have money, it is necessary to know how to build. If he is an indian, he will build a shanty. If he is an architect, he will build a beautiful house. None gives that which one doesn't have. The money doesn't solve the problem of the knowledge. No matter how much money you give to an indian, he will continue building shanties. Then the indian regards the house of the architect and he becomes envious. We remember still that terrorist who destroyed two towers in the USA because of so much envy. Cause of this, modesty (humility) is so important.
LXXIV – The parable of the calculus of the peace
31 Or who is the king that, while he goes to fight against another king in war, won't he sit down first to compute if with ten thousand men he is able to win the other who comes against him with twenty thousand men?
32 Ouch! While the other is yet far away, won't he send an ambassadorship, to ask for conditions of peace? (Luke, XIV, 31-32).
139. If all the warlike kings thought thus and they would calculate their risks, there would never be war, cause the weakest always would try to establish the peace. It is better to lose some material goods in a treaty of peace well done than to be totally destroyed in a war. That king who destroyed those two towers didn't make this calculus and he was defeated in war.
LXXV – The parable of the unfaithful manager
1 He said also to the disciples: There was a certain rich man, who had a manager; and this was
denounced
to him that he was defrauding his goods.
2 He called him and said: What is this that I hear about you? Settle the accounts of your administration, because you can't continue your work.
3 The manager thought: What will I do, cause my lord takes away the administration from me? I am not strong to fluff the soil (earth), I am ashamed of begging alms.
4 I know what I will do, for that they receive me in their houses, when I will be fired (dismissed) of the administration.
5 He called each one of his lord's debtors. He said to the first: How much do you owe to my lord?
6 He answered: A hundred bathings of olive oil. He said: Take your account, sit down quickly and write fifty.
7 Then he asked another: How much do you owe? He answered: A hundred hearts of wheat. He said to him: Take your account and write eighty.
8 His lord praised the unfaithful manager because he had acted needlefuly; because the sons of this world are smarters in their generation than the sons of the light.
9 And I say to you:
Subordinate (suborn, corrupt) good friends through the wealth of the king Momus
; for that, when this wealth will lack to you, they will receive you in the eternal feast of the tabernacles.
10
He who is faithful in a very few is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in very few is unjust also in much
.
11 Cause if you don't become faithful in the application of the wealth of the king Momus, who will trust to you the
true wealth (welfare)?
12 If you won't become faithful in the application of that which belongs to the others, who will give to you that which belongs to you?
13 No servant can serve two masters; because he will hate one and love the other; or he will dedicate to one and despise the other.
You can't serve God and the king Momus altogether
.
14 The pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things and they debauched him.
15 Jesus said to them: You are those who justify yourselves before the sight of men; but God knows your hearts; because that which is exalted among men is an atrocity before the sight of God. (Luke, XVI, 1-15).
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than the men; and the weakness of God is stronger than the men. (I Corinthians, I, 25).
19 Because the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. It is written: He catches the wise in their sagacity. (I Corinthians, III, 19).
24 None can serve two lords; because he will hate one and love the other; or he will serve to one, and despise the other. You can't serve God and Momus (god of Carnival). (Matthew, VI, 24).
21 His lord said to him: Very well, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord. (Matthew, XXV, 21).
17 The lord answered: Very well, good servant; because you have been faithful over few things, you will have authority over ten cities. (Luke, XIX, 17). See chapter LX.
140. This unfaithful manager was accused of peculation (article 312 of the brazilian Penal Code) or misappropriation (article 168 of the brazilian Penal Code). This is very different of those servants of the chapter LX. Knowing that he would be fired, resolved to use the goods of his Lord to corrupt (article 333 of the brazilian Penal Code) his clients (customers), in order to be contracted by these. However who would contract a servant who tried to bribe you? Besides, he suborned through all the sins of the king Momus. He sold parties, adornments of carnival, gluttony, alcoholic beverage, smoke, narcotics and all those sinful goods, which cause sicknesses. He didn't' serve to his Lord anymore. He served to the king Momus, and when he will die, he will go to a place with people equal to him. In this place the feast of carnival is for ever. It never ends. Think in a party where everything is allowed and this feast never ends. This place is reserved to the servants of the king Momus in the kingdom of heaven. Would you want that your life were a feast which never ends? So, follow the king Momus. And you won't be back to your home. And you will feel all the harms of the vices. The unique Man-God we know is Jesus.
LXXVI – The resurrection
5 If brothers live together, and any of them die and has no son, the wife of the deceased won't marry any man from outside; the brother of her husband will penetrate in her, and he will take her to him as wife, and he will do the duty of the brother-in-law to her. (Deuteronomy, XXV, 5).
2 And the
angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a flame (a brightness or a pure spark – 88 of SB) of fire in the middle of a thicket; and he looked, and, lo, the coppice inflamed in the fire, but it didn't burn.
4 And when the Lord saw that he changed his rhumb to see: God called him from the middle of the shrub, and said: Moses! Moses! And he said: Lo me here.
6 He said more:
I AM the God
of your patriarchs (fathers), the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; because he was afraid of looking to God.
14 And God said to Moses:
I AM WHO I AM
. And he said: Thus you will say to the children of Israel:
I AM has sent me to you
. (Exodus, III, 2, 4, 6 and 14).
58 Jesus answered them: Truly, truly I say to you:
Before Abraham was born, I AM
. (John, VIII, 58).
23 On that day the sadducees came to him. They say that there is no resurrection. They asked him:
24 Master, Moses said: If any man dies, having no children (seed), his brother will marry the widow and he will sow the seed to his brother.
25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no seed (descendents, children) left his wife to his brother.
26 Likewise the second, the third, until the seventh.
27 And after them all, the woman also died.
28 Whose among the seven will she be wife in the resurrection therefore? Because they all married her.
29 Jesus answered: You make mistakes, not knowing the scriptures, nor the might of God.
30 Because
they don't marry in the resurrection
, nor they are given in marriage; but they are as angels in heaven.
31 However concerning the
resurrection of the dead
, haven't you read that which God spoke to you:
32
I AM the God
of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? God isn't the God of the dead, but of the alive ones.
33 When the multitudes heard this, they were marveled before his doctrine. (Matthew, XXII, 23-33).
18 The sadducees approached to him. They say that there is no resurrection. They asked him:
19 Master, Moses wrote to us: If a man's brother dies, leaving a wife without child, that his brother will take his wife, and raise (create) seed (children) to his brother.
20 There were seven brothers; the first married a wife and died leaving no seed (children).
21 The second married the widow and died, leaving no seed (descent); the third likewise.
22 Thus the seven left no seed. Finally after all, the widow also died.
23 Whose among them will she be the wife in the resurrection? Because the seven married her.
24 Jesus answered: Don't you mistake because you don't know the scriptures, nor the might of God?
25 Cause they won't marry, nor they are given in marriage in the resurrection; but they are as angels in heaven.
26 Concerning to the resurrection of the dead, haven't you read in the
book of Moses, in the space concerning to the thicket
, how God spoke to him:
I AM the God
of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?
27 He isn't the God of the dead, but the God of the living ones. You work great mistake. (Mark, XII, 18-27).
27 Certain among the sadducees came to him. They say that there is no resurrection.
28 They asked him: Master, Moses left written to us that, if a man's brother die, being married and childless, his brother will marry the widow, and he will sow (raise, create) seed (descent) to the deceased.
29 There were seven brothers. The first married and died childless.
30 The second and the third married the widow.
31 Likewise the seven also had no children and died.
32 Afterworld the widow also died.
33 Whose among them will she be the wife in the day of the resurrection therefore? Cause the seven married her.
34 Jesus said to them: The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage;
35 but those who are accounted worthy to reach the other world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.
36 Cause they can't die any more, because they are equal to the angels and they are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 But the dead will resuscitate, even Moses showed, in the place concerning to the bush, when he called the Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
38
Gold God isn't the God of the dead, but of the living: because all live for him
.
39 Then certain scribes said: Master, you answered well!
40 From here on they didn't dare ask any more questions to him. (Luke, XX, 27-40).
141. This widow was darkened! The text of the Old Testament is correct and it is very clear. Angel is God! Jesus has already said to Moses: I AM GOD. There are several habitations in the house of the Father. When we die our Spirit remains alive and he goes to live in the kingdom of the heaven alike to the angels: this is resurrection. After some time, in the resurrection of the flesh, he will reembody as seed (ovule fecundated by sperm) and he will reborn as a living child from the stone (clay) of the ground (earth). We are sculptures of the clay modeled by God according to the law of marriage (sex). And we, in the christic resurrection, will be angels of God. We will be pure Spirits (Holy Ghosts) and the Spirit doesn't reproduce sexually. Only the body reproduces itself. The sex and the reproduction are characteristics of the body. “Do the Spirits have the sexes? Not! as you understand him, cause the sexes depend on the organization. There is between them love and sympathy there, but built over the similarity of feeling the mind.” (200 of SB). This doesn't mean that the perispirits (psychosomas) don't have sexual organs. They present, but they don't have the same functioning of an organ of flesh. “Can the Spirit who has animated the body of a man, during a new existence, animate the body of a woman, and reciprocally? Yes, these are the same Spirits who animate the men and the women.” (201 of SB). Jesus says that Spirits without body don't marry. This means that they don't practise sex. They have sexual organs, but these don't have the same functioning. They can try to marry, but they won't feel the joy (orgasm) and they won't fructify babes. This stimulates them to ask for reembodying, because they feel themselves unhappy without complete sexual life. However many obsess the embodied ones to obtain the sexual satisfaction (vampires) of the flesh. The pure Spirits (angels, God) don't reembody in bodies which perish (rot), for this Jesus stood up from the tomb, left it empty and flew to the heaven. “Not being anymore subjects to the reembodiement inside perishable (which rot) bodies, the life is eternal for them and they accomplish this life in the bosom (neck, knee) of God.” (113 of SB).
LXXVII – The samaritans refuse lodging to Jesus
51 It happened, when the days were almost coming when he would fly to the heaven, that he decided in his face that he would go to Jerusalem.
52 And he sent messengers ahead his face. They went, entered in a village of the samaritans, to prepare his lodging.
53 However they didn't lodge him, because his face was the face of those who were going to Jerusalem.
54 Seeing this, his disciples James and John said: Lord, do you want that we cast fire from heaven to burn them?
55 But he turned, and reprehended them: You don't know who spirit you are!
56 Cause the son of man didn't come to destroy the lives of the men, but to save them. And they went to another village. (Luke, IX, 51-56).
142. The samaritans refused to lodge Jesus because He was going to Jerusalem and the samaritans were enemies of the jews who said that is only allowed to pray in the temple of Jerusalem. The samaritan woman said: “Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; but you say that Jerusalem is the place where persons must worship.” (John, IV, 20).
LXXVIII – The main order and the parable of the good samaritan
4 Hear, oh! Israel: The Lord, our God, is the one Lord.
5 You will love the Lord, your God, of all your heart, of all your soul, of all your might. (Deuteronomy, VI, 4-5).
18 You won't revenge nor keep rancor against the children of your people; but you will love your neighbor as yourself.
I AM
the Lord. (Leviticus, XIX, 18).
28 One among the scribes came, heard their discussion, and knowing that Jesus had answered them well, asked him: What commandment is the first of all?
29 Jesus answered: The first is: Hear, oh! Israel: The Lord, our God, the Lord is one!
30 You will love the Lord your God of all your heart, of all your soul, of all you mind, of all your might.
31 The second is: You will love your neighbor as yourself. There isn't another commandment greater than these.
32 The scribe said to him: In truth, Master, you have said well that he is one, and there isn't other but him,
33 and that to love him of all the heart, of all the understanding, of all the strength, and to love his neighbor as indeed him, is much more than all holocausts and sacrifices.
34 When Jesus saw that he answered needlefuly, he spoke to him: You aren't far from the kingdom of God. And no man dared to ask questions to him anymore. (Mark, XII, 28-34).
34 However the pharisees,
when they heard that he had shut up the sadducees
, they assembled in council.
35 And one among them, interpreter of the Law, proved him, asking:
36 Master, which is the great commandment of the Law?
37 He answered: You will love the Lord, your God, of all your heart, of all your soul, of all your mind.
38 This is the great and first commandment.
39 The second is alike to this: You will love your neighbor as yourself.
40 The whole Law and the prophets depend on these two commandments. (Matthew, XXII, 34-40).
25 Lo certain interpreter of the Law stood up to make a trial to him, saying: Master, what will I do to inherit eternal life?
26 Then Jesus asked him: What is written in the Law? How do you interpret?
27 He answered this: You will love the Lord, your God, of all your heart, of all your soul, of all your might, of all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.
28 Jesus said to him: You have answered right. Do this and you will live.
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus: Who is my neighbor?
30 Jesus went on and said:
Certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho
; and he kneed before the robbers, who undressed him, spanked him and went away, leaving him half dead.
31 At hazard a certain priest was going down that way. He saw him, but passed far from him.
32 Likewise a levite came to that place, saw him, but passed very far from him too.
33 However a certain soul from Samaria, who was going across one's way, came to where he was and when she saw him, she moved by passion for him.
34 She came to him, thought one's wounds, applying olive oil and wine on them; she put him on her own soul, she brought him to a lodgment and she took care of him.
35 In the day after she took out two denaria, and delivered them to the Host, and said: Take care of him; and whatever you will spend more, I, when I come back again, will
reward
you.
36 Who among these three, do you think, proved to have been the neighbor to him who kneed before the robbers?
37 The interpreter of the Law answered: The one who had mercy on him. Then Jesus said to him: Go, and do likewise. (Luke, X, 25-37).
1 Even I spoke the languages of the men and angels, but I didn't have love (charity), I would be as brass sounding, or plates tinkling.
2 Even I have the gift of prophesying and know all mysteries and all science; even I have all faith, such to transport mountains, but I won't have love (charity), I will be nothing.
3 And even I distribute all my goods to feed the pauper, and even I deliver my own body to be burned, but I don't have love (charity), I will profit nothing.
4 The love (charity) suffers endless, the love (charity) is kind; the love (charity) doesn't burn in jealousy; the love (charity) doesn't praise oneself, the love doesn't pride oneself,
5 doesn't behave depravitily, doesn't seek one's own interests, doesn't become furious, doesn't become resentful against the evil;
6 doesn't rejoice in injustice, but rejoices before the truth;
7 suffers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, resists to all things.
8 Love (charity) never ends. But existing prophecies, they will disappear; existing languages, they will cease; existing sciences, they will pass.
9 Because we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when the one who is perfect will come, that which is in part will be emptied.
11 When I was a boy, I spoke as a boy, I felt as a boy, I thought as a boy; however now that I became a man, I gave up the childlike toys.
12 Because now we see each other on a lusterless mirror; but latter face to face. Now I know in part; but then I will know fully such as I also will be fully known.
13 Now remains faith, hope and the love (charity), these three; but the greatest of these is love (charity).
1 Follow the love (charity) and search wanting the spiritual gifts, but mainly that you prophesy. (1 Corinthians, XIII, 1 a XIV, 1).
143. The question is: Who was Jesus talking about? He met the samaritan woman at the Jacob's
well
, at the foot of the mount Gerizim, in Samaria, when he went from Jerusalem to Jericho (chapter XI). However, that woman, who has had five husbands, didn't be born in Samaria. She was born in Magadan, in Galilee. She was the widow concerning to whom the sadducees had made questions in form of parable (chapter LXXVI) to Jesus. She was the woman who had married seven brothers who had deceased. These seven husbands became seven demons (chapter XXVII). Jesus had cast out the seven demons from Mary Magdalene (chapter XXIX). For her merits of woman who loved so much and married always according to the Law, Mary Magdalene, the Good Samaritan, would be the first person to see the Lord God resurrected (chapter XCIX). “Cause God alone is the supreme Master,” (243, II, of SB). "
Pray to our Master among all, God, and he sends one of his Messengers, the one of us
." (523 of SB). "The pure Spirits are the
Messengers
and the Ministers of God whose orders they execute for the maintenance of the universal harmony." (113 of SB). Jesus will say ahead: “You call me Master and Lord, and you say
well
, because I AM.” (John, XIII, 13). Jesus is God, is angel, is the unique Lord and is son of man, gold, if the angels are sons of the men, how come many affirm that the angels are beings created apart by God? And the demons? Aren't they sons of the men? Loving the neighbor is more important than any sacrifice. “God lauds always those who do the well; consoling the paupers and the afflicted ones is the best mean of honoring Him. I don't say through this that God disapprove the ceremonies that you do for praying Him. But he has there much silver which rotted (could)
being employed
more usefully than it is, God loves the simplicity in all things. The man who attaches himself to the outsiders and not to the heart is a Spirit of strait sights; judge if God must attach himself more to the model than to the essence.” (673 of SB). About those who mortify themselves, increasing their sufferings: “That they work before to the well of their resemblabe? That they dress the indigent ones, that they console those who weep, that they work for that who is infirm (arrested), that they tolerate privations for the alleviation of the ailments, then their life will be useful and agreeable to God.” (726 of SB). “The instinct of conservation has been done to all the beings
against
the dangers and the sufferings. Whip your Spirit and not your body, mortify your pride, asphyxiate your selfishness resemblabe to a snake which gnaws your heart, and you wound more for your advancement that though the rigors which are more from this century.” (727 of SB). According to the law of God, we love God above all the things. “Is the worship the result of a innate feeling, or product of a teaching (cross signal)? Innate feeling, as that of the Divinity. The conscience of his feebleness puts the man to knee before the one who can protect him.” (650 of SB). We love the pure (Holy) Spirits, above of all and the other Spirits according to their degree of spiritual elevation. We love the neighbor who treats us with mercy. Such is the law of the Lord. The good samaritan, the darkened widow, who gave to a home to seven husbands show us that to Jesus the neighbor is our consort, Mary Magdalene didn't lodge her husbands only, but she gave to them all her love, all her soul and she loved them as herself. And she loved the Lord more than her husbands and herself. The neighbor is that who dresses the ring finger (in portuguese: your neighbor) with the ring of the covenant: the covenant of the marriage, the sexual relation which attaches the man to his woman and one is the neighbor of the other. He puts the seed inside her and the children (fruits) are born. The samaritans who refused lodgment to Jesus provoked the anger in the apostles: “Lord, do you want that we cast fire from heaven to burn them?” (Luke, IX, 54 – chapter LXXVII). Lo we love who make the well for us. Jesus had already said: “If you love them who love you, what
reward
do you have? Don't the publicans also do the same?" (Matthew, V, 46). Even the tribute collectors love who acts with mercy to them. Jesus said that we must act like the good samaritan, so the people will love us. It is the law of the Lord: if we act with mercy, we will be loved. None has more mercy than the Lord, cause this He is the supreme being more loved (worshiped). “Which is the true meaning of the love
charity
such that Jesus understood this? Watch well for all the world, grace before the imperfections of others, pardon of the offenses.” (886 of SB). "Spiritists! Love yourselves, lo the first teaching; learn, lo the second. All the truths are in the Christianity;" (Jesus Christ, spiritist essay IX of MB). "My dear brothers. In the modern times is necessary the union from all elements truth's doctrine in the fraternity that is universe's golden law. My companyons of S. Paul! _ Let us love one another! Here is the premier instruction! _ Let us learn! _ here Hare the second! In the worlds is the sublime lesson of Espirit from Truth! In the world is not have greater message!"

1
The LORD said to my lord: Sit down at my right hand, until I put the hair (hare) of your enemies at your feet
.
2
The LORD
will send the rod of your might out from Zion: Govern in the middle of your enemies.
3 Your people will offer themselves willingly in the day of your might according holy order: You will have the dew of your youth from the bosom (neck, knee) of the Star of the morning, the Star of the aurora.
4
The LORD
has sworn and he won't regret: You are a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchizedek.
5 The lord, at your right hand, will strike kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He will judge among the nations. He will fill the places with deads (Spirits). He will wound the heads in many earths.
7 He will drink from the well in the way. He will look ahead. He will see the minds. (Psalm CX).
35
Nor for the earth, because it is the hair (hare) at His feet
; (Matthew, V, 35).
41 While the pharisees were rejoined, Jesus asked them a question:
42 What do you think about the Christ? Whose is he son? They answered: The son of David.
43 He replied: Then how does David, in Spirit, call Him
LORD
:
44 The
LORD
said to my lord: Sit at my right hand, until I put the hair of your enemies at your feet?
45 So if David calls him
LORD
, how is He his son?
46 And none was able to answer him a word, neither any man dared to ask him any more questions from that day on. (Matthew, XXII, 41-46).
35 Teaching in the temple Jesus asked: Why do the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
36 David himself said by the
Holy Spirit
:
The LORD
said to my lord: Sit down at my right hand, until I put the hair of your enemies at your feet.
37 The proper David called him
LORD
. How come He his son? And the great multitude heard him agreeably. (Mark, XII, 35-37).
41 Jesus asked: How can they say that the Christ is David's son?
42 In view of David himself said in the book of Psalms:
The LORD
said to my lord: Sit down at my right hand,
43 until I put the hair of your enemies at your feet.
44 Thus David called him
LORD
. How can He be his son? (Luke, XX, 41-44).
144. Matthew registered the genealogy of Joseph. Luke, the loved physician (Colossians IV, 14), who didn't know the Christ, but took the deposition of Mary to write his Gospel, registered the genealogy of Mary. According to the human laws, Jesus was seed (son, descendent) of David from the father and from the mother. Cause this He didn't pay the tribute (chapter LXXII). Cause the princes don't pay tributes to their kings. This scandalized the tetrarchs, cause they supposed that Jesus would revindicate the secession of the Judea out of the Roman Empire to Caesar. The tetrarchs were Herod Archelao (etnarch of Judea, Samaria and Idumea), Herod Antipas (tetrarch and king of Galilee and of Perea), Herod Philipe (tetrarch and king of Traconitides and Iturea, son of Cleopatra), Herod Filipe (tetrarch and king of the Sea of Galilee or Lake of Generase, son of Mariamme, he married Hermidias or Herodias, niece of Herod Antipas, she passed to live in adultery with her uncle Herod Antipas, John the Baptist censured her – chapter XL – á and her daughter Salome asked the head of John the Baptist to Herod Antipas, Salome was the adulteress who was saved by the Christ – chapter XLVI – who became His disciple, she accompanyed His crucifixition – chapter XCVI – and she saw a young Spirit inside the grave of Jesus, he was John the Baptist! – chapter XCVIII). The emperor was Caesar Tiberius. When Jesus was born, Caesar Augustus was the imperator of the Roman Empire and Herod the Great was roman king of the Judea attached to the Roman Empire. This Herod died after ordering to kill Jesus. This verification was important to understand the judgement of Jesus by Pilate. Jesus was the Holy Spirit (Christ) who talked mediumisticaly to David. Jesus is God and has His individuality. He doesn't have the moral traces of David who was warlike Spirit of the same order of Melchizedek, who alcoholized Abram and gave him the tithe of the robberies of war. Drunk, Abram refused the tenth. Our sons are eternal Spirits who didn't have start in the times. They inherit our physical characteristics, through the material science called genetics. However, they have already born with moral and intellectual characteristics proper of the learning of other existences.
LXXX – Jesus censures the hypocrisies of the pharisees
37 While he spoke, a pharisee asked him to eat with him. He went in and sat down at the table.
38 The pharisee admired in seeing that Jesus didn't bath himself firstly before dining.
39 The Lord said to him: Pharisees! Clean the outside of the cup and of the dish; but you are full of abduction and badness inside.
40 Foolish ones! Didn't God make both: the outside and the inside?
41
Before give alms (souls) of that which is inside (within);
lo all things will be clean to you.
42 But ouch! of you, pharisees! Make tithe of mint, rue and every herb, but you disdain the justice and the love of God. You are used to tithe, but don't forget judging and loving.
43 Ouch! of you, pharisees! Because you love the first places in the synagogues, and the greetings in the public squares.
44 Ouch! of you, scribes and pharisees, little critics, because you are as the invisible Spirits. The men cross you without knowing!
45 Then one of the doctors of the Law said to him: Master, saying these things, you also insult us!
46 He answered: Ouch! of you, the doctors of the Law! You give charges higher that the might of the men, but you don't touch them using a finger.
47 Ouch! of you! Because you exalt the Spirits of the prophets, but your fathers killed them.
48 Thus you are witnesses and the works of your fathers are agreeable to you, because they indeed killed the prophets, but you do model their statues (sculptures, memorials).
49 Because of this the wisdom of God said too: I will send prophets to them and apostles. They will kill some of them and persecute others,
50
for that this generation gives accounts of all the prophets' blood, spilled from the start of this world
;
51
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who was killed between the altar and the house. Yes, I say to you, the accounts of this generation will be demanded
.
52 Ouch! of you, the doctors of the Law! Because you took the key of the science; however you don't learn, and you obstaculize those who are learning.
53 After this speaking, the scribes and the pharisees began frightened to ask him and to hurry him to speak about many things,
54 their goal was to use his own words to prove (judge) him. (Luke, XI, 37-54).
45 When all the people was hearing Jesus said to his disciples:
46 Careful! of the scribes, who like to wear long robes (cassocks), love greetings in the public squares, first places in the synagogues and first places in the feats;
47 who devour the widows' houses, pretending they are making long prayers; these will suffer great judgement. (Luke, XX, 45-47).
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples:
2 The scribes and the pharisees sit down on Moses' chair:
3 Therefore watch all things they make you suffer, do these and spy, but don't follow their works; because they say, but they don't do.
4 Yes, they tie heavy charges and painful to be tolerated, and lay them on men's shoulders; however they themselves don't touch these charges through their fingers.
5 They do all works to be seen by the men; they increase their phylacteries (book of prayers), they iron their clothes.
6 They love the first places at the banquets and the first places in the synagogues,
7 the greetings in the public squares, and to be called master by the men.
8 But you won't be called masters, because the Master is One, and you are all brothers.
9 And you won't be called father by any man on the earth; because your Father is One, that who is heaven.
10
Neither you will be called guides, because your Guide is One: the Christ
.
11 But the greatest among you, will be your servant.
12 Whoever will exalt himself will be humiliated; and whoever will humble himself will be exalted.
13 Ouch! of you, scribes and pharisees, little critics! Because you close the kingdom of heaven before the men; you don't follow me and you forbid those who are following me.
14 Ouch! of you, scribes and pharisees, little critics! Because you eat the houses of the widows, pretending that you make long prayers; you will receive more severe judgement!
15 Ouch! of you, scribes and pharisees, little critics! Because you encircle sea and land to make just one proselyte (conversion); but when you reach your goal, you make him twofold (two times) more a son of hell than yourselves are!
16 Ouch! of you, you blind guides, who say: Whoever will swear over the temple, it is nothing; but whoever will swear over the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.
17 You fools and blind ones!
Which is greater: the gold or the temple who sanctifies the gold
?
18 You say: Whoever swear over the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swear over the gift which is on it, he is debtor!
19 Fools and blind! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar who is sanctifying the gift?
20 Therefore, who did swear over the altar, does swear over it, and over all things on it;
21 Whoever swear over the temple, does swear for the temple, and for the Spirit who inhabits it;
22 and whoever swear over the heaven, does swear over the throne of God, and for Him who is sitting on it.
23 Ouch! of you, scribes and pharisees, little critics! Because you give tithe of the mint, of the dill and of the cumin, but you have neglected the heaviest weights of the balance of the Law: the judgment, the kindness and the faith; you must do those first things without neglecting these second ones!
24
Blind guides! Straighten the yellow-fever mosquito and swallow the camel!
25 Ouch! of you, scribes and pharisees, little critics! Because you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but they (the multitude) is full of sequestration and anxiety of gluttony within (inside).
26 Blind pharisee! Clean first the inside of the cup and of the dish, for that the outside can become clean also.
27 Ouch! of you, scribes and pharisees, little critics! Because you are like to the whited sepulchers (temples), you look beautiful outside, but you are full of dead Spirits and of dung inside (within).
28 Thus you also look just to the men outside, but you are full little critiques and inequality inside.
29 Ouch! of you, scribes and pharisees, little crítics! Because you build the sepulchers (statues, images, memorials, icons) of the prophets and adorn the tombs (Spirits) of the just ones.
30 You say: If we had been in the days of our fathers, we wouldn't have been for (favorable) the blood of the prophets!
31 Therefore you witness (judge) against yourselves, cause you are sons of them who killed the prophets.
32 Fill to the top the measure of your fathers.
33
Snakes
, race of vipers! How will you flee from the judgment of hell?
34 Therefore, lo, I will send prophets, wise men and scribes to you. Some of them you will kill and crucify; some others you will whip in your synagogues and you will persecute others from city to city.
35 For that you will be anoint (christened) by the just blood spilled on the earth, from the blood of just Abel to the blood of Zachariah (son of Barachiah), who you killed between the temple and the altar.
36 Truly I say to you: All these things will come against this generation.
37 Oh! Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Who kills the prophets and stones them who are sent to you! How often I wanted to rejoin your children, as the chicken attaches her chicks under her wings (He opened His arms and the cape), but you didn't want!
38 Lo your house will become disconsolate.
39 I speak to you: You won't see me from now on, until you will say: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. (Matthew, XXIII, 1-39).
38 While teaching he said: Careful! of the scribes, who like to wear long robes (cassocks), and the greetings in the public squares,
39 and the first places in the synagogues and the first places in the banquets.
40 They devour the widows' houses, pretending that they are making long prayers; these will receive great judgement. (Mark, XII, 38-40).
16 Behold, I send you as sheep in the middle of wolves; be, so, judicious as
snakes
, and innocent as pigeons. (Matthew, X, 16).
25 Truly I say to you: There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when reigned much hunger over all the land;
26 and to none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow. (Luke, IV, 25-26).
8 The Lord said: Stand up, go to Zarephath of Sidom and remain there, because I ordered a widow to you.
10 Elijah stood up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived to the door of the city, a widow appeared before him, catching firewood. He called her and said: Give me water to drink.
11 Elijah cried: Bring bread in your hand too.
12 She answered: Hurrah! the Lord, my God, cause I didn't have bread, but flour in the pan!
13 The woman made what Elijah asked. And he ate him, her and her whole house. And the flour never lacked in that pan again. (3 Kings, XVII, 8, 10-13).
145. It is important to wash dishes and cups, but none must be glutton. We must make fast (diet), eat vegetable and avoid eating flesh (meat). Jesus thinks that it is more important to give the alms of the Spirit (of the knowledge, which God gives us through the prayer). Many men think that the more important is distributing material goods. The men are proud. They like to be seen. None notes the men who only think in material things. The men give work to the men, but they don't touch them, neither physically, nor their heart, nor their soul. The men envy the prophets and kill them, but latter they recognize them and make statues, graves, museums, etc, in the goal of gaining money. The prophets die and their blood punish who mistreated them. The men want to forbid those who study the sciences and the teachings of Jesus of teaching and studying, because they think that it is more important to fill the belly. The men didn't wear trousers on that time. Jesus was the first. And he also used a cape in form of half-moon, which started in one wrist to the other and which represented the wings of the angels. Jesus is the One Guide, the One Master and the One Father: God. The men want to bring other men to their religions, but their banquets are worthy of the hell and they spoil the temple (body) of the Spirit (gold of the temple) through a lot of food, beverage and other substances. The yellow-fever mosquito provokes sicknesses, but the camel is good mean of transportation in difficult places. The snake is an animal, which crawls without pride: it never falls from the high places. Jesus is the Creator and we are His chicks. That widow was Mary Magdalene, the good samaritan (chapter LXXVIII). Allan Kardec would come to marry her again, when he reembodied as Rivail. The good samaritan verified personally that God didn't have sexual organs.
LXXXI – The offer of the poor widow
47 who devour the widows' houses, pretending they are making long prayers; these will suffer great judgement. (Luke, XX, 47).
14 Ouch! of you, scribes and pharisees, little critics! Because you eat the houses of the widows, pretending that you make long prayers; you will receive more severe judgement! (Matthew, XXIII, 14).
40 They devour the widows' houses, pretending that they are making long prayers; these will receive great judgement. (Mark, XII, 40).
41 Jesus sat down against the treasury. He looked how the multitude cast money in the treasury. Many who were rich cast much money.
42 A poor widow came, but she cast in two myths, which makes a room.
43 He called to him his disciples and said to them: Truly I say to you: This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting in the treasury.
44 Because they all did cast in of their surplus; but she willingly (her wish) did cast in all that she had, even all her life. (Mark, XII, 41-44).
1 Jesus was observing. He saw the rich men who were casting their gifts in the treasury.
2 He also saw a certain poor widow casting there two little myths.
3 Jesus said: In truth I say to you: This poor widow cast in more than they all.
4 Because all these did cast the gifts of their surplus; but she of her free will did cast in all her life, all she had. (Luke, XXI, 1-4).
41 Before give alms (souls) of that which is inside (within); lo all things will be clean to you.
42 But ouch! of you, pharisees! Make tithe of mint, rue and every herb, but you disdain the justice and the love of God. You are used to tithe, but don't forget judging and loving. (Luke, XI, 41-42).
23 Ouch! of you, scribes and pharisees, little critics! Because you give tithe of the mint, of the dill and of the cumin, but you have neglected the heaviest weights of the balance of the Law: the judgment, the kindness and the faith; you must do those first things without neglecting these second ones! (Matthew, XXIII, 23).
146. Who was that widow? That woman is representative of all the woman, who work in her houses, giving her soul to her husband and children, that woman is resemblable to the wife of Kardec, who mad a myth of him, who emptied her selfishness, leaving all the name of the doctrine to Kardec, her neighbor, her love. And Kardec said all: There isn't salvation out of love. And his salvation was there, attached to him, where Jesus, the amorous Father, had deposited her. Lo if they knew that she was Mary Magdalene, what wouldn't they think about her? What wouldn't the little critics whisper? How many women in this world aren't as this poor widow? These women fill your houses of love. They sew your clothes. They wash your pans. What don't the womená do for her husbands? Lo the pharisees gave to the temple only a decimal of their material goods. Although Jesus had said to them: “He said to them: Whose is this image and words? They answered: Caesar's. Then he said to them: So give to Caesar, which belongs to Caesar, but give to God which, belongs to God. When they heard it, they admired themselves, left him and went away. (Matthew, XXII, 20-22). Lo one can't give tithe to God, but to Caesar, to the Republic (common thing of the people), to the societies or civil associations. We must give tithe to the collective propriety. The tithe, which we give, goes to the patrimony of all. What was this justice of the pharisees who paid only the tenth, but took all the goods of the widows? Lo the doctrine of the free will.
LXXXII – The prophetic sermon – The Christmas
1 And Jesus went out from the temple. He was going on his way when his disciples approached to him to show him the constructions of the temple.
2 But he answered: Don't you see all these things? Truly I say to you: There won't there be here
stone on stone
, that doesn't be thrown to the earth.
3 As he was sat on the
mount of Olives
, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the world?
4 Jesus answered: Pay attention! Don't go to the way of the evil.
5 Many will come in my name, saying: I AM the Christ. They will lead many to the downfall (abyss).
6
You will hear about wars and noises of wars
; but don't worry; because these things must happen (pass); but this isn't the end yet.
7 Because nation will stretch against nation, kingdom against kingdom; there will be hungers (angryes, fames) and earthquakes in several places.
8 But all these things are just the start of the work.
9 Then, they will deliver you to the works. They will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations, because of my name.
10 In this meanwhile, many will scandalize themselves, betray and hate one against another.
11 Many false prophets will loose and they will lead many to the downfall (abyss).
12 Because of inequality, the love (charity) of the many will become old (cold).
13 But the one who will resist to the end, this will be saved.
14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world to all the nations by a witness. Then, the end will come
.
15 Therefore, when you will see the horror of disconsolation, which was spoken by Daniel, the prophet, in the holy place (let him who reads understand). (Matthew, XXIV, 1-15).
16 Then, the king commanded them to bring Daniel to cast him in the grotto of the lions. The king said to Daniel: Your God, to whom you serve continually, will save you.
17 A stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the grotto; the king sealed it across his own sign and across the sign of his lords; for that nothing would change concerning Daniel.
18 Then, the king went to his palace, passed the night fasting; neither he allowed instruments of music brought before him; and his spirit flew from him.
19 In the star of morning, the star of aurora, the king wake up very early, and went in a hurry to the grotto of the lions.
20 The king approached to the grotto and called Daniel very sad: Oh! Daniel, servant of the living God! Is your God, to whom you serve continually, able to save you from the lions?
21 Then, Daniel said to the king: Oh! king, live eternally!
22 My God has sent his angel to shut up the mouths of the lions, for that they wouldn't hurt me, because I was there in the middle of them; and also before you, oh! king, I didn't hurt. (Daniel, VI, 16-22).
27 He will sign across the covenant with many for one week. And he will cease the holocausts and the sacrifices in the weekend. The disconsolate person will come on the wing of the horrors until the full end. And the wrath of the identified one will be spilled over the disconsolate person. (Daniel, IX, 27).
1 As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Master! Lo, what stones and what buildings!
2 But Jesus said to him: Do you see these great buildings? There won't be allowed here
stone on stone
, which doesn't be thrown on the earth.
3 As he was sat on the
mount of Olives,
against the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately.
4 Tell us: When will these things happen? What will be the sign of when these things will be all almost to accomplish?
5 Then Jesus began to say to them: Don't let anyone deceive you!
6 Many will come in my name, saying: I AM; they will lead many to the downfall (abyss).
7 When you will hear about wars and news of wars, don't worry; these things need to happen (pass), but this is not the end yet.

Because nation will prick against nation; kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in many places and also there will be hungers (fames).
These things are the beginning of the work.
9 Be warned! They will deliver you to the councils and to the synagogues. They will whip you before governors and kings. You will tolerate for my cause, you will witness.
10
But the gospel must first be preached to all the nations
.
11 When they will lead you, to deliver you, don't be worried about what you will speak, but whatever will be given to you in that instant, that you will speak, because you won't be speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
12 A brother will deliver the brother to death, and the father the child; children will prick against parents; they will kill them.
13 You will be hated by all because of my name; but he who will tolerate to the end, this will be saved.
14 When you will see the horror of the disconsolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, placed where it must not to be (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them fly to the mountains. (Mark, XIII, 1-14).
5 Some spoke about the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts. Jesus said:
6 Do you regard these things? The days will come, in which won't be left here
stone over stone
, that doesn't be knocked down.
7 They asked him: Master, when will these things happen? What will be the sign of when these things are almost to pass (happen)?
8 He answered: Attention! Don't go to the way of the perdition (abyss). Many will come in my name, saying: I AM! And: The time is come! Don't follow them.
9
When you will hear about wars and rebellions, don't frighten; cause these things must to pass (happen) first
; but the end won't be soon.
10 Then he said to them:
Nation will
brighten
against nation and kingdom against kingdom
.
11
There will be great earthquakes, epidemics and hungers (fames) in several places; there will be terrorists and great signs from heaven
.
12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you. They will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and incarcerations, bringing you before kings and governors because of my name.
13 It will happen for that you witness.
14 Prepare your hearts. Don't meditate what to say before answering.
15 Because I will put the wisdom in your mouth, which all your opponents won't be able to refute or resist.
16 And you will be delivered also by your parents, brothers, relatives and friends. They will put you to die.
17 You will be hated by all because of my name.
18 However a hair (hare) out of your head won't perish (rot).
19 You will dominate your souls in your patience. (Luke, XXI, 5-19). Look GAS, IX, 7.
147. Jesus was speaking of the stones of the chapter LXIV in the mount of Olives. The king made fast to go to see, in Spirit, Daniel die in the grotto. The phase of Daniel was said by the king in Spirit for that Daniel convinced the king. Daniel didn't defend himself against the lions. The angel ordered him to play the part of statue, pretending to be dead. Then the lions didn't attack him. The lions are the kardecists, the followers of the master or father from Lyon. The grotto represents the resurrection of Lazarus (chapter LXII). Jerusalem was taken by the arabs and now arabs and jews are in war (in these days) because of Jerusalem. The christians were hated and killed in the circus of Rome (love in portuguese), but they didn't lose their faith in Jesus. Many men of genie were brought to kings and governors and defended the christian faith. We saw many false christs. All of them preached the sex, the suicide as quick form of reaching God. There was the French Revolution. There were many wars too, emphasizing the world-wide wars and hungers in several countries. We regard earthquakes every year. The Gospel has already been published in the whole world: the Bible is the book more sold in the world and even among the mussulmen the Gospel is spilled cause they consider Jesus one of the most perfect prophets. “It is convenient that everything would destroy itself for reborning and regenerating, cause this that you call destruction isn't but a transformation, which has for end (goal) the renovation (renovel) and the
A
melioration of the living beings.” (728 of SB). “In what end (goal) does God liquefies the humanity through the destructive weights of the balance of the justice? For making her to advance liver. Didn't we have said that destruction is necessary to the moral regeneration of the Spirits, which liquefy, in each new (novel) existence, a new degree of perfection? It is convenient to see the end (goal, Jesus) for appreciating the results inside. You judge them but according to your personal point of sight, and you call the weights of the balance of the justice to your prejudice, who they marry in you by chance. But these trees-men are often necessary for making happen more ready an
A
meliorative order of things, and in any feminine ring this who has demanded the well from the secular priests – those who marry.” (737 of SB). “What is the cause which brings the men to the war? Predominance of the animal nature over the spiritual nature and whistling of the passions. In the state of cruelty, the peoples know that the right belongs to the strongest; that is because the war is a normal state for them. If the man progresses the curtsy (bow), she diverts less times, because he Evita (avoids) the causes; and when she is necessary, he goes and marries the humanity.” (742 of SB). We are reaching the end proclaimed by Jesus: “The earth, whistling this law, has been in a materially and morally state lower than she is today, but she will reach under these duple rapport a degree more advanced. She is arrived to one of her periods of transformation. Where from expiatory world, she will end regenerative world; then the men there will be happy, because the law of God will reign there.” (Augustine, III, 19 of the GAS). Amelia is who was woman from truth. Amelia was the wife of Kardec. She was his God.
16 Then let them who are in Judaea fly to the mountains.
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things, which are in his house.
18 Let him who is in the field not return back to search his cape.
19 Ouch! of them who are pregnant and of them who give mammas to suck in those days!
20 Pray you for that your flight doesn't be in the winter, neither on a saturday.
21 Because in this time there will be great affliction, such as hasn't been from the beginning of this world until now, nor ever will be.
22 But those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the cause of the elects by Jesus, those days will be shortened.
23 Then, if anyone will say to you: Lo, the Christ! Or: Behold there! Don't believe.
24 Because false Christs will
brighten
and false prophets who will show great signs and prodigies such as to lead, if possible, even the elects to the downfall (abyss).
25 Lo, I have told you in advance.
26 Therefore if they will say to you: Lo he is in the depravity! Don't go out. Or: Lo he is in the motels! Don't believe.
27 Because thus the lightning comes from the
nascent
and is seen even in the
sunset,
thus it will happen in the coming of the Son of Man
.
28 Wheresoever the body is, the vultures will rejoin altogether there. (Matthew, XXIV, 16-28).
11 And I say to you, that many will come from the
nascent
and the
sunset
, and they will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
13 And Jesus said to the centurion: Go way; it will be done according what you believe. And the one one who he created was healed in that hour. (Matthew, VIII, 11-13). Look chapter XVIII.
15 Let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.
16 And let him who is in the field not to return back to take his cape.
17 Ouch! of the pregnant ones and of the foster nurses in those days!
18 Pray for that it doesn't happen in the winter.
19 Because those days will be of great affliction, such as hasn't there been alike from the start of the world, which God created, until now, and ever won't be.
20 If the Lord hadn't shortened those days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the cause of elects, to whom he chose, he shortened such days.
21 Then if anyone will say to you: Lo, the Christ! Or: Lo, there! Don't believe.
22 Cause many false Christs will
brighten
and false prophets, who will show signs and prodigals, to lead, if possible, the own elects to the downfall (abyss).
23 But attention! Lo, I have told you all things in advance. (Mark, XIII, 15-23).
20 But when you see Jerusalem encircled by armies, then you know that the disconsolation is coming.
21 Then let them who are in Judaea fly to the mountains; let them who are in the middle of Judea get out; let not them who are in the countries come in Judea.
22 Because these are days of revenge, in order to fulfill all things, which are written.
23 Ouch! of pregnant and of them who give the mammas to suck in those days! Because there will be great pain on the earth, and wrath against this people.
24 They will fall
across the edge of the sword
and they will be lead captivated to all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden on by the foreigners, until the times of the foreigners be fulfilled. (Luke, XXI, 20-24).
52 Then Jesus said to him: Sheathe your sword; cause
all they who take the sword will perish across the sword
. (Matthew, XXVI, 52).
148. Oh! Jew people! Say to all the peoples: Jesus is Yahweh. We will worship the Lord, our God. We will love and learn Jesus'doctrine. Then the sword of Jesus will fall over the heads of you enemies! Behold the law of action and reaction. To each action corresponds a reaction equal and contrary. Whoever kill will be dead. Whoever love will be loved. Whoever sin will be punished, even if this receives order to sin.
13 I saw in the visions of the night. Behold,
one as a son of man came from the clouds of heaven
, he went even to the ancient of days and they brought him before him.
14
The might, the kingdom and the glory were given to him for that all the peoples, nations, and languages would serve him; his might is an eternal might, which won't pass
, and his kingdom won't be destroyed.
16 And I heard a man's voice at the margins of the Ulai, which cried:
Gabriel
, make this man to understand the vision.
17 So he came near where I was; and when he came, I was frightened and my face fell; but he said to me: Understand, oh!
son of man
; because this vision will happen in the time of the end. (Daniel, VII, 13-14 e VIII, 16-17).
29 But immediately after the afflictive work of those days the sun will darkened, the moon won't give her moonlight, the stars will fall from heaven, and the mights of the heavens will affect you.
30 Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven; all the peoples of the earth will mourn, and
they will see the Son of man coming over the clouds of heaven with might and great glory.
31 And he will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, they will rejoin his elects from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Remember the fig tree and her parable: When her branches are becoming tender, she buds her leaves, and you know that the summer is coming.
33 Thus you also: When you see all these things, know that he is coming, knocking at her doors.
34 Truly I say to you:
This generation won't pass,
till
all these things happen
.
35
Heaven and earth will pass, but my words won't pass
. (Matthew, XXIV, 29-35).
24 But in those days, after that afflictive work, the sun will darkened, the moon won't give her moonlight.
25 The stars will fall from heaven, the mights of the heavens will affect you.
26
Then
they will see the Son of Man coming on clouds
, with great might and glory.
27 Then he will send the angels and will rejoin his elects from the four winds, from the supreme part of the
earth
to the supreme part of the
heaven
.
28 Remember the fig tree and her parable: When her branches are becoming tender, she sprouts her leaves, you know that the summer is coming.
29 Thus you also: When you see these things happening, you know that he is coming, knocking at her doors.
30
Truly I say to you: This generation won't pass, until all these things happen
.
31
Heaven
and
earth
will pass. But my words won't pass. (Mark, XIII, 24-31).
25 There will be signs in sun, moon and stars; and on the earth anguish of nations, in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves.
26 Men fainting of terror for expectation of the things which are coming to the world; cause the mights of the heavens will affect you.
27 Then
they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud
, with might and great glory.
28 But when these things begin to happen, look to the heaven; because your redemption is coming.
29 He spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig tree and all the trees.
30 When they sprout, you will see him and know by yourselves that the summer is coming.
31 Thus you also, when you see these things coming to pass,
know you that the kingdom of God is coming
.
32 Truly
I say to you: This generation won't pass, till all these things are accomplished
.
33
Heaven and earth will pass. But my words won't pass.
(Luke, XXI, 25-33).
149. The women are the clouds, the stars and the moon of the sky. Jesus talks about the fig trees (chapter LXVI). We all will have to learn to live as men and women, to be perfect. The son of man will reembody as fig tree. Ouch! of these men who will be born as women. They will have to keep sexual relations with men, impregnate and suckle. The times are arrived. Men! They like to be treated as men! So the parable of the fig tree. The women who reembody as men like to be treated with delicacy, women! Have patience! It is necessary that the woman have the energy of the man. It is necessary that the man have the bow (curtsy) of the woman. The man is the earth. The woman is the heaven. Al the perfections are necessary. God created the self-sex for these couple, who can love his neighbor (consort), but they don't reach to succumb to the sexual relation. The Spirit must reincarnate in the opposed sex to become beautiful. Daniel is a prophet of dreams which he called visions of the night. In the sleep, the Spirit “has the souvenir of the past and sometimes pre-
observation
of the future;” (402 of SB). “The
future
Life implicates the conservation of our individuality after the death;” (Allan Kardec, 959 of SB). The dream “is often a souvenir of the places and things that you have seen or that you will see in another existence or in another moment.” (402 of SB). “The sleep frees in section (part) the soul from the body. When we sleep, we are momently in the state where we will be in a fix way after the death.” (...) “This must learn you one time of plus not to fear the death, because you dies all the nights according to the word of a saint.” (...) “The dream is the souvenir of what your Spirit has seen pendent the dream. But
mark
that you don't dream always, because you don't remember always of this (Jesus, your protector and your life) who you have seen, or of completely this who you have seen. This isn't your love (soul) of your all perfecting;” (402 of SB). “But as the body is a gross and louring matter, he conserves difficultly the impressions which, the Spirit has received, because the Spirit hasn't perceived them by the organs of the body.” (403 of SB). During the dreams, which are souvenirs we can foresee the future, it means, forsee how our Life will be after the life of the body, we can visit the places where we will go to live the life of the Spirit. Many times the Spirit writes across the mediums his life on earth before being born: the prophecies. Others write their life across the mediums during their incarnation. Others write latter. The son of man are we all and we be back, this means, we reembody. Jesus said: the son of man will be back before the end of this generation. Lo many fellows of that generation went back before they died. Jesus also went back as son of man, to prove that the angels also are son of the man. If even God is son of Man, soon there aren't angels and demons, which aren't sons of the man. Daniel was son of man and knew Gabriel, the angel who announced the coming of Jesus to Mary. Further on Jesus will be seen climbing up to the clouds where the kingdom of heaven is, in great glory: “And it happened, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and went to the heaven.” (Luke, XXIV, 51). Jesus will come again in the solstice of summer. "I am passing cloud, gone with the wind.", the medium said.
36 But none knows about that day and hour, neither the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
37 As the days of Noah were, the coming of the Son of man will be.
38 Cause, in those days, before the deluge, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah went in the ark.
39 They didn't know until the deluge came, taking them all; thus it will be in the coming of the Son of man.
40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken, but one will be left.
41 Two women will be working in the mill: one will be taken, but one will be left. (Matthew, XXIV, 36-41).
32 But none knows about that day or that hour, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Pay attention, watch and pray; because you don't know when the time will be.
34 It is as when a man, delaying in another country, leaves his house, gives authority to his servants, to each one his work, and commandeds also the porter to watch.
35 Therefore watch: Because you don't know when the Lord of the house will come, if at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning.
36 For that he doesn't meet you sleeping, while he comes suddenly.
37 This I say to you all: Watch! (Mark, XIII, 32-37).
20 Being asked by the pharisees, when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus answered them: The kingdom of God doesn't come with
observation
:
21 Neither they will say: Lo, here! Or, lo there! Because the kingdom of God is within (inside) you.
22 Thence he said to the disciples: The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won't see it.
23 They will say to you: Lo, there! Lo, here! Don't go, nor follow them.
24 Because as the lightning, when it lightens from one part to the other of the heaven, shining the other part of the heaven; thus the day of the Son of man will be.
25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 As it passed in the days of Noah, it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
27 They ate, drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered in the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise it passed in the days of Lot: They ate, drank, bought, sold, planted and built.
29 But in the day when Lot went out from Sodom it rained
fire and sulfur (mannish woman)
from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 Thus it will be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop, having his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and likewise let him who is in the field not to return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife. (She became a statue of soul.)
33 Whoever will want to gain his Life will lose her; but whoever will lose his Life will gain her.
34 I say to you: In that night there will be
two men
on one bed: the one will be taken, but the other will be left.
35 Two women will be grinding altogether: the one will be taken, but the other will be left.
36 Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken, but the other will be left.
37 Then they asked him: Where, Lord? He answered: Where the body is, the vultures will attach altogether. (Luke, XVII, 20-37).
34 Pay attention yourselves! For that your hearts don't be overcharged with gluttony, drunkenness and cares of this Life, and for that day doesn't come on you suddenly as a snare.
35 Cause that day will come to all them who inhabit the face of all the earth.
36 Watch you at every season, supplicating, for that you can escape of all these things which will pass and to stand up before the Son of Man. (Luke, XXI, 34-36).
150. When is a son of man born? None knows! There isn't a determinated day to the birth of a child! But Jesus was born in the solstice of winter of the Northern Hemisphere. In 21.12.2002 we will have a solstice of summer in the Southern Hemisphere and a solstice of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and it will be saturday (Mathew, XXIV, 20). Now He will be born in the solstice of summer. As in the days of Noah, the people eat, drink, marry themselves and have sons whose day of birth they don't know when it will be. But remember: It is necessary to preach, fast and watch: “He is feasible there, in the true meaning of the love, but the instant of the death; when this moment is come, this will be by a mean or by another, you can
steal
him there.” (853 of SB). The earth is becoming a world of regeneration and many Spirits don't deserve remaining here. They will be taken to other expiatory worlds worst than the earth. Some will be taken and others will remain. The tare will be taken but the wheat will stay. It is the time of the harvest. Jesus says that we must watch and pray to avoid the abuse of the lives of this world.
35 Tighten the belts of your chastity, aflame your Lights.
36 Be yourselves like to men expecting for their lord, while he returns from the wedding anniversary; for that, when he comes and knocks at the door, they can straightway open to him.
37 Well-beatified are those servants, to whom the lord will meet watching when he will come. Truly I say to you: He will tighten himself, make them sit down at the table. He will come and serve them.
38 If he will come in the second watch, or in the third, they will be well-beatified if thus he meets them.
39 But know this: If the master of the house had known in what hour the
thief
would come, he wouldn't have watched and he wouldn't have left his house to be burst.
40 Be also ready: Because the Son of man will come in an hour when you don't know. (Luke, XII, 35-40).
32 None knows about that day or that hour, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Pay attention! Watch and pray. Because you don't know when the time will be.
34 It is as a man, delaying in another country, leaves his house, giving authority to his servants, to each one his work, and he commandeds also the porter to watch.
35 Therefore watch: Because you don't know when the lord of the house comes; if at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning.
36 Because he will come suddenly, but he doesn't meet you sleeping.
37 What I say to you, I say to all: Watch! (Mark, XIII, 32-37).
42 Therefore watch: Because you don't know in what day your Lord will come.
43 But know this: If the master of the house had known in what watch the
thief
would come, he would have watched, and his house wouldn't be raped.
44 Therefore be also ready: Because the Son of man will come in an hour when you don't know. (Matthew, XXIV, 42-44).
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was bluffed by the wizards, he got very angry, and ordered to kill all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the wizards. (Matthew, II, 16 – chapter IX).
151. Jesus sends us through the reembodiment: “Truly, truly, I say to you: The one who receives whoever I sent, receives me; but the one who receives me, receives the one who sent me."”(John, XIII, 20). Each one of us will be Christs one day, therefore, having a son is creating a future Christ. We must watch, pray and take care! of our sons with love. Our son is the lord of the house. This doesn't mean that Jesus or other pure Spirit can't climb down to the earth again. “Do the Spirits already purified come inside the inferior worlds? They go there
often
in order to aid them to progress; without this, these worlds would be delivered to themselves, without guides to direct them.” (233 of SB). How many don't disobey the law of Jesus? They eat, drink and marry themselves (keep sexual relations) in the day of the watch, which can be a solstice of winter or of summer (21.JUN or 21.DEC). How many children aren't sequestrated in the days of feast (party), because the parents don't pray, watch and fast?
41 Then Peter asked: Lord, do you speak this parable to us, or even to all?
42 The Lord said: Then who is the faithful and prudent manager, in whom his lord will trust his family, to feed in due season?
43 Well-beatified is that servant, in whom his lord will meet confidence, when he will come.
44 In truth I say to you: He will trust over him all that he has.
45 But if that servant will say in his heart: My lord delays in coming. Thence he will begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat, to drink and to inebriate himself.
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn't have
hope
, in an hour when he doesn't know and he will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion to the unfaithful. (Chapter LXXV).
47 That servant, who knew his lord's will, but didn't make himself ready, nor did according to his will, he will be beaten through many whiplashes.
48 But that servant who didn't know his lord's will, and did things worthy of whiplashes, he will be beaten through few whiplashes.
However to whomever much was given, they will demanded much from him; and they will demand much more from whom they trusted much
. (Luke, XII, 41-48).
45 Then who is the faithful and prudent servant, to whom his lord has confided his family to feed them in due season?
46 Well-beatified is that servant, to whom his lord, when he will come, meet confidence.
47 Truly I say to you: He will confide to him all that he has.
48 But if that evil servant will say in his heart: My lord delays.
49 So he passes to beat those who he creates, and eat and drink with the drunken.
50 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn't have
hope
, and in an hour when he doesn't know.
51 He will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the little critics. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth there. (Matthew, XXIV, 45-51).
152. Jesus wants that we have family and look after of our sons and of all who live in our houses. Jesus blesses that who is manager of family, who feeds the home, which isn't gluttonous and neither inebriate himself, which doesn't beat his wife, his sons, neither the ones who he create in his house including the pets. “If anyone wants to be the first, he will be the last (least) of all, and servant of all. (Mark, IX, 35). We came to serve and not to be served. We must to be servant at our home. It is what Jesus expects of us. Jesus wants peace inside the home. Jesus had already said: “Because to every one who has, it will be given, and he will have plentifully; but he who doesn't have, even what he has will be taken away from him.” (Matthew, XXV, 29). “Ouch! Well! The man is more blamable at the courtesy which he knows better this what he does.” (637 of SB). “The more intelligence we have to understand a principle, the less we are excusable of not applying to ourselves.” (828, II, of SB). “That one there who knows the truth is one hundred times more blamable of the evil which he does, than the ignorant indian of the depeopled place, and he will be treated consequently as an indian in the day of the justice. If a blind one knocks you down when walking, you will excuse him; but if he is a man who sees clearly, you will complain and you have reason.” (654 of SB). Ouch! of that unfaithful manager (chapter LXXV), who prefers to serve to the king Momus, corrupting those who he creates.
7 Who among you, having a servant fluffing the earth or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Come straightway and sit down at the table?
8 Won't you say before him: Prepare my supper, tighten the belts of your chastity, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Later you will eat and drink?
9 Does he
thank
the servant because this did the things which were ordered?
10 Thus you also, after doing all the things, which were commanded, to you, say:
We are useless servants, because we have done that which it was our duty to do
. (Luke, XVII, 7-10).
153. Jesus allowed that Cain killed Abel because Abel didn't only sheared his sheeps, but he also killed them, which is sin. Jesus was astounded before the seventy seven dead little sheeps. How many times don't we act as Cain and we forget to say to the Lord that we are useless little sheeps who only fulfill our obligation? See Genesis IV, 1-16.
LXXXIII – The parable of the ten virgins
1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be alike to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.
2 Five among them were foolish, but five were prudent.
3 The foolish ones, when they took their lamps, they took no olive oil with them.
4 Meantime the prudent took olive oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom delayed, they all dozed and slept.
6 But, at midnight, there was a cry: Behold, the bridegroom! Come to meet him!
7 Then all those virgins stood up, and
anointed
their lamps.
8 And the foolish said to the prudent: Give us of your olive oil, because our lamps are extinguishing.
9 But the prudent answered: The olive oil won't be enough for us and you! Go to them who sell it, and buy for you.
10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came. Those who were ready went in with him to the marriage. And the door was shut.
11 Later the foolish virgins also came, saying: Lord, Lord, open the
door
to us!
12 But he answered: Truly I say to you: I don't know you.
13 Therefore watch. Because you don't know the day, nor the hour. (Matthew, XXV, 1-13).
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lamps, which are before the Lord of the earth. (Revelation, XI, 4).
35
Tighten the belts of your chastity,
aflame your Lights
.
36 Be yourselves like to men expecting for their lord, while he returns from the wedding anniversary; for that, when he comes and knocks at the door, they can straightway open to him.
37 Well-beatified are those servants, to whom the lord will meet watching when he will come. Truly I say to you:
He will tighten himself
, make them sit down at the table. He will come and serve them.
38 If he will come in the second watch, or in the third, they will be well-beatified if thus he meets them.
39 But know this: If the master of the house had known in what hour the thief would come, he wouldn't have watched and he wouldn't have left his house to be burst.
40 Be also ready: Because the Son of man will come in an hour when you don't know. (Luke, XII, 35-40 – chapter LXXXII).
8 Won't you say before him: Prepare my supper,
tighten the belts of your chastity
, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Later you will eat and drink? (Luke, XVII, 8).
32 Remember the fig tree and her parable: When her branches are becoming tender, she buds her leaves, and you know that the summer is coming.
33 Thus you also: When you see all these things, know that he is coming, knocking at
her doors
. (Matthew, XXIV, 32-33 – chapter LXXXII).
154. The foolish virgins are those who went to buy sex from the debased ones. Gold, sex isn't love. And debased ones are persons who don't love. According to the Spirit the olive oil is the love, the moral virtues: the food of the Light. The prudent virgins studied the laws of the matter and the godly and moral laws. Through this, they could unite themselves to the bridegroom: Jesus. They learned to think in Jesus and in his neighbor (the loved person for whom they are passionate) in the moments of self-sex. Then they reached to keep their chastity. And this chastity lights her lamp full of the olive oil of the love. And her lighted lamp illuminates her consort who will come attracted by her love and by his Light. None reaches the Father without infinite knowledge of all things. The philosophy isn't a material good, which can be given or sold. It is necessary to study to acquire. Loving minds more than being loved and it is loving that we will be loved. Watch, fast, tighten your belts, worship to Jesus elevating your heart to God full of love by your neighbor (consort). These laws are for women and men.
LXXXIV – The flames and the heaven
31 When the Son of Man will come in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
32 And all the nations will be reunited before him. He will separate them one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 He will put
the sheeps at his right hand
, but
the goats at his left hand
.
34 Then the King will say to them at his right hand: Come, you blessed of my Father! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world!
35 Because I was hungry, but you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, but you gave me to drink; I wasn't son from inside of you (your entrails), but you lodged me.
36 I was naked, but you dressed me; I was sick, but you visited me; I was arrested, but you came to me.
37 Then the just ones will ask him: Lord, when did we see you hungry, but we fed you? Or thirsty, but we gave you to drink?
38 Or when did we see you out of our entrails, but we lodged you? Or naked, but we dressed you?
39 Or when did we see you sick, or arrested, but we went to you?
40 The King will answer to them: Truly I say to you: Each time you did this to one of these my
last (least) brothers
, you did this to me.
41 Then the King will say also to them at his left hand: Go away! Cursed ones! To the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 Because I was hungry, but you didn't give me to eat; I was thirsty, but you didn't give me to drink.
43 I wasn't son from your entrails, but you didn't lodge me; I was naked, but you didn't dress me; I was sick or arrested, but you didn't come to me.
44 Then they will ask: Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirst, or out of our entrails, or naked, or sick, or arrested, but we didn't minister to you?
45 Then he will answer them: Truly I say to you: Each time you didn't do this to one of these
my last (least) ones
, you didn't do this to me.
46 And these will go away to the eternal punishment, but the just ones to the eternal Life. (Matthew, XXV, 31-46).
37 They answered him: Allow us to sit: one at your right hand, and one at your left hand in your glory.
38 But Jesus said to them: You don't know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink? Or to be baptized across the baptism that I AM baptized across?
39 They said to him: We are able. Jesus said to them: The cup that I drink you will drink; and you will be baptized across the baptism that I AM baptized;
40 but to sit
at my right hand
or
at my left hand
, I don't allow you; but this is for them who have been prepared. (Mark, X, 37-40 – chapter LVIII).
155. This parable is a fable, cause Jesus places sheeps and goats in it. The sheep is the ewe, which serves wool to us. The she-goat is the female of the goat, which furnishes us of milk. Jesus says that we must receive the
last (least) ones
. To understand last and least it is necessary to read the chapter LIII. Jesus will come as an useless servant (chapter LXXXII) which only accomplishes the will of the Father. He will come as an obedient servant. Jesus will reborn from a cloud. We are made of water as the clouds. We are clouds. During the sleep the Spirits come to us asking to reembody. They aren't sons from our entrails. Many times we don't remember them. The Spirits knock the doors to reborn. Jesus said: who receives a child in my name, receives me (chapter LIII). We must expect that our baby always be Jesus. Let's act as if our babe were Jesus. Then aren't our parents these little sheep who received us as we were Jesus? And aren't those parents who aborted their children the goats who will suffer all the torments of the obsession? Materialize your obsessing Spirits. Make them reborn. The cloth of the Spirit is the body. This last (least) also can be the consort of one of your children. The sheeps are the defenders and the goats are the prosecutors. The hand, which beats (chapter LIV) is not the same which caresses. What you do, you tolerate. The human being must opt between sitting down at the right hand of God (to be sheep) or sitting down at the left hand of God (to be goat) so burning in the fire of the hell. None can be accuser and defender at the same time. We can't be stinking goats as Cain (chapter LXXXII item 153) or Adolph Hitler. Parents must be sheeps of the sons and the sons must be the sheeps of the parents. The sons must always obey the parents and the parents must always obey the sons. “Well-beatified are the
peaceful
spirits: because they will inherit the earth." (Matthew, V, 5). “Remember that the Good Spirits help these, which serve God with humility, and disinterest and they
repudiate
(chapter LVI) whoever searches in the way of the heaven a degree for the things of the earth; they retire themselves from the proud one and from the ambitious one. The pride and the ambition will always be a barrier between the man and God; it is a veil jetted over the Godly Lights, and God can serve himself of the blind one to make understand the Light.” (Spirit of the Truth, prolegomena). “There aren't possible descriptions there of the moral tortures which are the punishment of certain crimes that there the same which prove them would gold of the
lawyer pen
in giving an idea; but surely the more frightened is the thought that they has been condemned without return.” (973 of SB). “And as they suffer a long time, they believe they always suffer. God, to punish them, wants that they believe thus.” (101 of SB). “Many believe in the eternity of the pens. We have said to you: It is a punishment.” (263 of SB). “The Spirits who have followed the way of the evil, will they rot (can) reach the same degree of superiority than the others? Yes, but
the eternities
will be longer for them.” (125 of SB). “But we can say, in general thesis: each one is punished by the place where he has sinned; it is thus that ones are punished by the incessant vision of the evil that they have done; other by the regards, the fear, the shame, the doubt, the solitude, the darkness, the separation of the being which are beloved by them, etc.”(Allan Kardec, 973 of SB). “The man, impotent to surrender, across his speech, to the nature of these sufferings, he didn't find a comparison more energetic than that of the fire, cause, for him, the fire is the kind of the more cruel pain and the symbol of the most energetic action; it is cause the belief in the eternal fire adverts since the hotter antiquity, and the recent peoples have inherited it from the ancient peoples; it is because also in his cartooned speech, he spoke about the fire of the passions: boil of love, of jealousy, etc., etc.” (Allan Kardec, 974, II, of SB). “It is because the Spirit, unattached from the matter, sighs for a novella corporal existence, cause each existence can shorten the hardness of this
pain
,
if she is well employed
. It is then that he makes the choice (bawling) of the proofs through what he will be able (rot) to expiate his faults, cause, know him well, the Spirit suffers all the evil he has done, or not? He has
summer
, the voluntary cause, of all the well he will
gold pure
do and which he hasn't done
and of all the evil which results from the well he hasn't done
.” (975 of SB). “The hardness of the suffering of the Spirit, can she be eternal? Without doubt, if he were eternally mean, it means, if he didn't owe ever to regret neither to
A
meliorate himself, he would suffer eternally. But God hasn't created the beings for that they be
lawyer
to the evil for ever.” (1006 of SB). “He is there whose regret is very (three) late; but, he pretends that they will never
A
meliorate themselves, this would be denying the law of the progress, and to say that the child can become adult.” (Saint Louis, 1007 of SB). “Receive always the regret, and the desire of
A
meliorating himself is never unfruitful.” (Saint Louis, 1008 of SB). Many think that the hell must last for the eternity. “What is, with effect, the hardness of the Life, she-future of one hundred years, for rapport the Eternity? Eternity! Do you comprehend well this love?” (Saint Augustine, 1009 of SB). “That the ancients had you inside the Master of the Universe: a terrible, jealous and vindictive God, this was born himself; in their ignorance, they have lent to the Divinity the passions of the men; but this is not there the God of the christians, who places the love, the charity, the mercy, the hearing of the offenses at the range of the prime virtues? Would he rot (could) to welsh He-Himself the qualities, whose duty he does an owe (ewe)? You! He! Isn't there contradiction there in attributing
the infinite kindness and the infinite vengeance to Him
?” (Saint Augustine, 1009 of SB). The punishment and the reward are proportional to the works. “To each one according to one's works.” (Saint Augustine, 1009 of SB). “The punishment is the big needle which excites the soul (life), through bitterness, to reply against herself and to reconcile to the rival of the salvation. The end (goal) of the punishment is other than the rehabilitation: the frankness. Wanting that the punishment be eternal, for a fault who is not eternal, it is denying to him all the reason of being.” (...). “Affirm, on the contrary, the gradual amortization of the punishments and of the pens through the
transmigrations
, and you will consecrate with the reason united to the sentiment (feeling): the godly unity.” (Paul apostle, 1009 of SB). “Eternity of the punishments communicates to the eternity of the evil. Yes, such the evil will exist among the men, the punishment will subsist; it is in this relative meaning, that it minds to interpret the holy texts, the eternity of the pens is so relative and not absolute. An adverse day will come where all the men will wear the robe of the innocence by the repetition (the regret), and this day there more moans, more gnashing of the teeth.” (...) “Only God is eternal and have pure to believe in the eternal evil,” (...) “Mourn, hope, expiate and seek-you refuge in the thought of a God intimately good, absolutely mighty, scently just.” (Plato, 1009 of SB). “The idea of the hell, with its ardent furnaces, with its boiling caldrons, could be tolerated, it means, pardonable in a century of iron; but at XIX, this is more than a vain ghost, whole proper to startle little children, and in who the children believe more when they are great.” (Paul apostle, 1009 of SB). The human district judges never apply eternal pens. “Gold, can God be less good than a man?” (Allan Kardec, 1009 of SB). “It is absolutely as when we demand to a Spirit if he is in hell. If he is in ailment, he will say: Yes. Because, for him the hell is synonymous of suffering; but he knew very well that it is not a furnace. A pagan would gold to say that he was in the
Tartar
.” (1017 of SB). The Tartar is the abyss of the Hades. “What must we understand as
the purgatory
? Physical and moral pain: this is the time of the expiation. It is almost always over the earth that you do your purgatory and that God makes you expiate your faults.” (1013 of SB). “The hell can be traduced as a Life of proofs extremely painful, with the
incertitude
of a
A
melier;
purgatory
, a Life also of proofs, but with the conscience of a future
A
melier. When you prove a great pain, don't you say to yourself that you suffer as a condemned? These are the Loves, and always in cartoon.” (1014 of SB). "The mouth which kisses is the same which expectorates." (Fernando Pessoa).
LXXXV – Through treason
37 Jesus was teaching in the temple every day; but he went out every night to lodge in the mount, which is, called Olive trees.
38 And all the people waked in the reveille to hear him in the temple.
1 The feast of the
unleavened bread
was coming, which is called: the Passover.
2 The main priests and the scribes searched a mean to take out Jesus'life, because they feared the people. (Luke, XXI, 37 a XXII, 2).
1 When Jesus had finished all these teachings, he said to his disciples:
2 You know that after two days the Passover will come, and
the Son of man will be delivered to be crucified
.
3 Then the main priests and the elders of the people rejoined themselves in council in courtesy of the high priest, called Caiaphas.
4 And they counseled themselves that they would arrest Jesus across the curtsy, and they would kill him.
5 But they said: Not during the feast, for that there isn't a tumult among the people. (Matthew, XXVI, 1-5).
1 The feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread was after two days. And the main priests and the scribes searched how they would arrest him across bow, and would kill him.
2 But they said: Not during the feast, for that there won't be a tumult among the people. (Mark, XIV, 1-2).
156. Jesus had already escaped to several condemnations of death done by the priests. But he had escaped from all dematerializing himself. However now it was different. They would use curtsy to kill Jesus. And the own Jesus said that He would die and He chose the genus of death. The priests wouldn't leave this opportunity escapes. They would remember the people that Jesus had denied bread to them (chapter L).
3
Satan
(chapter XII) entered in Judas, called Iscariot, one among the twelve.
4 This went to talk privately to the main priests and captains about how he would deliver him to them.
5 Then they were very gay and
covenanted
(chapter XLV) to give him money.
6 Judas
felt
and searched an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude. (Luke, XXII, 3-6).
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the main priests, and said:
15 What do you desire to give to me if I will deliver him to you? And they weighed
thirty pieces of silver
to him.
16 From this moment on he searched an opportunity to deliver him to them. (Matthew, XXVI, 14-16).
10 And Judas Iscariot, one among the twelve, went to the main priests, to deliver Jesus to them.
11 Hearing him they became joyful and promised money to him. And he searched how he would deliver him conveniently to them. (Mark, XIV, 10-11).
4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said:
5
Why wasn't this ointment sold for three hundred denaria, which would be given to the paupers
?
6
He said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag, he took away what was put inside
.
7 However Jesus said: Leave her! She will keep for the day of my mummification. (John, XII, 4-7 – chapter LXIII).
157. The malign Spirit of Satan seduced Judas Iscariot who was weak for money. It was a proof for Judas. Judas loved Jesus, but he had certainty that Jesus would dematerialize again. Then, assured that Jesus wouldn't be arrested and that he would gain a good money. Judas accepted the covenant.
LXXXVI – Jesus washes the feet of the disciples
14 And God said to Moses:
I AM WHO I AM
. And more: Thus you will say to the sons of Israel:
I AM
sent me to you.
15 And God said more to Moses: Thus you will say to the children of Israel: The Lord, the God of your fathers (patriarchs, ancients), the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you;
this is my name eternally
, and this is my memorial to all generations. (Exodus, III, 14-15).
1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour was come when he would pass from this world to his Father, having loved his ones who were in the world, he loved them to the end. (
transmigrations
– chapter LXXXIV).
2 During the supper,
the devil had already put the treason in the heart of Judas Iscariot
, Simon's son. (Simon the Cananaean, the Zealot, the zealous, the jealous – he mimed the son – chapter XXIV).
3 Knowing that the Father had trusted all the things in his hands, and that he came from God, and was going back to God.
4 He stood up from the supper, and undressed his clothes, and he took a towel, and
tightened the belts of his chastity across the towel
.
5 Later he laid water in the basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to dry them across his the towel.
6 So he approached to Simon Peter. He said to him: Lord, do you wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered: What I do, you don't know now; but you will comprehend later.
8 Peter said to him: You will never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I won't wash you, you have no part with me.
9 Simon Peter said to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus spoke to him: He who took his shower bath, doesn't need to wash, but his feet, because the rest is clean. Now you are clean, but not all.
11 Cause
he knew him who would betray him
. Therefore he said: You aren't all clean.
12 When he had washed their feet, he dressed his clothes again, sat at the table and said to them: Do you understand what I have done to you?
13 You call me:
Master
and
Lord
, and you say well, because
I AM
.
14 Then if I, the
Lord
and the
Master
, have washed your feet, you also must wash the feet of one another.
15 Because I have given you an example, for that you will do as I have done to you.
16 Truly, truly, I say to you: A servant is not greater than his
Lord
; neither one who is sent, greater than he who sent him.
17 If you know these things, well-beatified you are if you do them.
18 I don't speak about you all: I know those whom I have chosen; but the scripture must be fulfilled:
He who eats my bread will raise his heel against me
.
19 Since now on I tell you, before it will happen, for that, when it will happen, you believe that
I AM
.
20 Truly, truly, I say to you:
He who receives whoever I will send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me
. (John, XIII, 1-20).
1 Well-beatified is he who aids the indigent ones. The Lord will deliver him in the day of evil.
3 The Lord will support him on the bed of the nostalgia. You will soften all his bed in his sickness.
5 My enemies speak evil against me: When will he die and will his name perish?
6 If one among them come to visit me, he speaks lies. He amasses malices in his heart. When he goes away, he tells it.
7 All of them hate me and whisper together against me. They aim against my wound:
8 He
has an evil disease. He must fast. Now he lies and he won't stand up again
.
9 Yes
, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, he raised his heel against me
.
13 Well-beatified be the Lord, the God of Israel. From eternity to eternity. Love and love! (Psalm, XLI, 1, 3, 5-9, 13).
11 God asked: Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree, who I commanded you not to eat?
12 The man said: The woman whom you gave to be my wife, she gave me of the tree and I ate.
13 The Lord God said to the woman: What have you done? The woman answered: This snake diverted me, so I ate.
14 The Lord God said to the snake: Because you have done this, you are cursed above all pets, above every animal and you will trail over the belly of your Life, and you will eat the dust of your Life all your days.
15 I will put enmity between you and the tree, between your seed and her seed. He will wound your head, but you will wound his
heel
.
16 God said to the tree: I will multiply greatly the pen of your conception. You will bring children to the light in pen. Your desire will be to your husband and he will govern you. (Genesis, III, 11-16).
9 A genie will take him by the
heel
and a hug will lie on her. (Job, XVIII, 9).
158. Jesus is the bridegroom of the parable of the ten virgins (chapter LXXXIII) and the disciples are the virgins. Simon Peter is a woman reembodied in the body of man. He forbids Jesus to touch his feet. But he is whole excited, on the brink of desiring that Jesus wash him whole. Jesus talks that it is important to wash what is dirty. Peter used to wash not even the hands (chapter XLIV). Peter also betrayed Him (chapter LXXII), but to the romans. Judas Iscariot is that who didn't accept to have his feet washed by Jesus. He had never reincarnated as a woman. He thought that this was an unworthiness. A man wouldn't touch his feet. He pulled the heel back. Jesus is the useless feminine servant who caresses the feet of her Lord (chapter LXXXII – item 152). Mary from Bethany is the woman who wounds the head of her Lord across the scent (perfume – chapters XXIX e LXIII). Now, the parts can be changed. The Spirits can change the sex of the body across reembodiment. The man can make stroking in his woman or massaging her heels. The woman is the tree and the man the snake. The man hugges his woman and kisses her, smacking her head. The woman goes on the tiptoes to give her rose mouth to be kissed by her husband, thus she raises her heel against him.
LXXXVII – The Saint Supper
27 You will say:
It is the sacrifice of the Passover (passage to the other world) of the Lord
, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the egyptians and delivered our houses. Then the people bowed the head and worshipped.
28 And the children of Israel went and did that; as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
29 It passed at midnight, when the Lord struck all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who was sat down on his throne, until the first-born of the prisoner who was in the imprisonment, and all the first-born of the animals.
30 The Pharaoh stood up in the night. He, all his servants and all the egyptians. Then there was a great cry in Egypt. Cause there wasn't a house where there wasn't a dead one. (Exodus, XII, 27-30).
17 In the first day of the feast of the unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked: Where do you want that we make the preparations to
you eat the Passover
?
18 He answered: Go to the city to such a man and say to him: The Master said: My time is coming. I will keep the Passover in your house with my disciples.
19 They did as Jesus ordered them and they prepared the Passover.
20 When the even was come, he was sat at the table with the twelve disciples.
21 And while they were eating, Jesus spoke: Truly I say to you that one among you will betray me.
22 And they, exceeding sorrowful, began each one to ask him: Is it I, Lord?
23 He answered: He who wets his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.
24 The Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him. But ouch! of that man across whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better to him not have been born!
25 Then Judas, who betrayed him, asked: Is it I, Master? Jesus answered: You said.
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed Him, divided Him, and he gave to the disciples, saying: Take, eat; this is my body.
27 He took a cup (calyx), gave good graces to God (laughed), gave Him to the disciples, saying: Drink of Him you all.
28 Because this is my blood, the blood of the covenant (chapter XLV), which will be spilled for regret of sins of many.
29 But I say to you: Since now on I won't drink of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new (grape juice – chapter XVII, item 38) with you in my Father's kingdom. (Matthew, XXVI, 17-29).
12 And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover (the Paschal Lamb), his disciples said to him: Where do you want that we go to prepare the Passover to you eat?
13 Then he sent two of his disciples, saying to them: Go to the city, there a man bringing a jug of water will meet you. Follow him.
14 Wherever he will enter in, say to the master of the house: The Master asked: Where is my room, where I will eat the Passover with my disciples?
15 He will himself show you a large room on the housetop (chapter LXXXII, item 147) furnished and ready. There make the preparations for us.
16 The disciples went to the city and found what he had said to them: They prepared the Passover.
17 When it was evening he went to the twelve.
18 While they were eating at the table, Jesus said: Truly I say to you: One among you will betray me: he who eats with me.
19 They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one: Is it I?
20 He answered: It is one among the twelve, he who wets the hand with me in the dish.
21 Cause the Son of man goes, even as it is written about him; but ouch! of that man across whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he hadn't been born!
22 While they were eating, he took bread, blessed Him, divided Him and gave to them, saying: Take, this is my body.
23 Then he took a cup (calyx), and having given good graces, he gave to them. They all drank of it.
24 So he said to them: This is my blood, the blood of the covenant, which is
sneezed
for many.
25 Truly I say to you: I will drink never more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new (grape juice) in the kingdom of God. (Mark, XIV, 12-25).
7 The day of the feast of unleavened bread came. The Passover (Agnus Dei) could be immolated.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying: Go and prepare the Passover for us, to eat.
9 They asked him: Where do you want us to prepare it?
10 He explained: Lo you are entering in the city, there a man bringing a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house where he will go in.
11 Say to the master of the house: The Master asks you: Where is the room, where I will eat the Passover with my disciples?
12 He will show you a large and furnished room on the housetop.
There you will be ready
.
13 They went and found everything as he had said. They prepared the Passover.
14 When the hour was come, Jesus sat down, and the apostles with him.
15 He said: With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer:
16 Cause I say to you: I won't eat it again, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 He took a cup and having given good graces, he said: Take this and divide it among yourselves.
18 Cause I say to you: Since now on I won't drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God will come.
19 He took bread, and having given good graces, he divided it, and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in souvenir of me.
20 Likewise after the supper, he took the calyx saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be
sneezed
for you.
21 However lo, the hand of the betrayer is with me on the table.
22 Because the Son of Man truly goes, as it has been determined. But ouch! of that man across whom he is betrayed!
23 Then they began to question among themselves, who was to do this thing. (Luke, XXII, 7-23).
4 But the Lord sent a great wind over the sea, and there was a mighty tempest over the sea, so the boat was to be divided. (chapter L, item 103).
6 So the master of the boat said to him: What do you mean, sleepyhead? Wake up, call your God, if so, your God will think in us, for that we don't perish.
9 He answered: I am hebrew and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry earth.
12 He said: Take me and cast me in the sea. So the sea will be calm to you. Because I know that this great tempest is over you because my cause.
14 Then they cried to the Lord, and said: We beseech you, Lord Jesus, let us not perish for this man's Life. Don't lie innocent blood over us, because you have done as you agreed.
15 So they took Jonah and cast him in the sea; and the sea ceased its fury. (chapter XIX, 49).
16 Then the men feared the Lord extremely. They offered a sacrifice to the Lord, and made Hosts. (Jonah, I, 4, 6, 9, 12, 14-16 – chapter LXXVIII).
52 The jews therefore debate one with another, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Jesus answered them: Truly, truly I say to you:
If you don't eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood; you aren't alive yourselves
.
54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will resurrect him at the last day.
55 Cause my flesh is true food and my blood is true beverage.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I inside him. (John, VI, 52-56 – chapter XLIII, item 85).
159. The clock is the top of the house. All the twelve apostles betrayed Jesus when they asked the Passover. They asked that Jesus were immolated. Jesus laughed when they asked His flesh and His blood. That bread and that wine which Jesus served were fluidic. Although in that night the apostles also had eaten the flesh, which they had prepared: a young sheep killed. Jesus smiled because many would go to fill their glasses with the alcohol of the bitterness. And they would regret of the effect of their sins. God prohibits none of sinning. The apostles wanted to drink and to kill Him. They had the free will of doing the evil. Jesus says: That bread He was serving was His body because that bread was fluidic, so fluidic as His body and was plasmed by His thought, as His body. That juice of the vine was fluidic and also emanated from Jesus. One for all and all for one: a man who gave His own life for the life of many. Sin! Kill! Drink! And suffer as Jesus in the cross!
21 After Jesus had said this, he shook his Spirit and witnesses: Truly, truly, I say to you that
one among you
will betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one to the others, doubting of him.
23
One among his disciples
, who Jesus loved, was on Jesus' knee (bosom) at the table.
24
Simon Peter signed across him
and said to him: Tell us about whom he is speaking.
25 Then he cuddled more on Jesus' chest and asked him: Lord, who is he?
26 Jesus answered: He is that to whom I will give the wet chunk of bread. So he took a hunk of bread, wet and gave to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 And after the mouthful, suddenly Satan entered in him. Then Jesus said to him: What you do, do quickly.
28 None at the table understood what he aimed when he spoke this to him.
29 Because Judas had the bag, they thought that Jesus said: Buy the things we need for the feast or that he would give something to the poor.
30 Having received the mouthful, he went out straightway. And it was night. (John, XIII, 21-30).
21 From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things under the elders, main priests and scribes, and be killed, and resurrect in the third day.
22
Peter called him apart, and began to reprove him, saying: Have mercy on you, Lord; this will never happen to you!
23 But he turned, and said to Peter:
Get out of my back, Satan! You are a stone of scandal to me, because you don't mind the things of God, but yes the things of men.
(Matthew, XVI, 21-23 – chapter LI).
160. Here John, the loved disciple, was the traitor, the stone of scandal, who didn't obey to the Father. Jesus says: The door of the right hand is the road to Calvary. Judas Iscariot, dominated by Satan, the possessing Spirit, faithful servant of Jesus, goes to the Council of the Jews to deliver Jesus to the ones who paid the thirty silver coins, according to the order of Jesus. To Judas who had always reincarnated as male man Jesus gave the more arduous job.
7 Wake up oh! sword! against my Shepherd and against the man who is my consort, said the Lord of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd and the sheeps will be scattered. But I will give my hand to the least ones. (Zechariah, XIII, 7).
31 After Judas' departure, Jesus said:
Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him
.
32 God is glorified in him. God will glorify him in himself. He will glorify him straightway.
33 Little children, yet a little while I AM with you. You will seek me. But as I said to the jews, I say to you: Where I go, you can't go.
34
New
commandment I give to you: Love one to the other, thus as I have loved you, you will also love one to the other
. (transmigration: the love of the Spirit).
35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples: If you have love one for the other.
36 Simon Peter asked him: Lord, where do you go? Jesus answered: Where I go, you can't follow me now. But you will follow me later.
37 Peter replied him: Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lie down my Life for you.
38 Jesus answered: Will you lie down your Life for me? Truly, truly I say to you: The cock won't cluck, till you have denied me three times. (John, XIII, 31-38).
31 Then Jesus said to them: All you will scandalize against me tonight. Because it is written: I will strike the Shepherd and the sheeps of the flock will be scattered.
32 But after I AM resurrected,
I will go before you to Galilee
.
33 But Peter answered: Even if all will be scandalized against you, I will never be scandalized.
34 Jesus replied: Truly I say to you: This night, before the cock clucks, you will deny me three times.
35 Peter said to him: Even if I must die with you, yet I won't deny you. Likewise all the disciples also said. (Matthew, XXVI, 31-35).
27 Jesus said to them: All you will scandalize yourselves, because it is written: I will strike the Shepherd and the sheeps will be scattered.
28 However, after I AM resuscitated, I will go before you to Galilee.
29 But Peter said: Although all will scandalize themselves, yet I won't ever!
30 Jesus answered: Truly I say to you, that today, even tonight, before the cock clucks twice, you will deny me thrice.
31 But he spoke more vehemently: If I must die with you, I won't deny you. Likewise they all also said. (Mark, XIV, 27-31).
31 Simon, Simon,
lo, Satan demanded you to me, to sift you as wheat!
32 But I besought for you, for that your faith doesn't loose. And when you proselyte yourself, straighten your brothers.
33 But he answered: Lord, I am ready to go to prison as much to death with you.
34 Jesus replied: I tell you, Peter, the cock won't cluck today, until you will deny that you know me thrice. (Luke, XXII, 31-34).
161. Jesus glorifies Judas Iscariot, who obeying His orders, struck Him for that the christian little sheeps would scatter for the world! Jesus preaches the transmigration: the love without union of the flesh. The transmigration is the godly union. Jesus foresees the succumbence of Simon Peter. Satan (chapter XII) will sift Peter inviting him to all the temptations. Jesus foresees that He will meet them in Galilee after the resurrection (chapter CII).
1 Don't let your heart beat. Believe in God, believe also in me.
2
In my Father's house there are many homes
. If it weren't so, I would have told you. Cause I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and I will receive you in myself. For that where I AM, there you will also be.
4 And you know the way where I go.
5 Thomas said to him: Lord, we don't know where you go. How do we know the way?
6 Jesus answered:
I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life
.
None come to the Father, but by me
.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.
Since now on you know him and have seen him
.
8 Philip replied:
Lord, show us the Father. This is enough for us
.
9 Jesus said to him:
How long have I been with you, but you haven't known me, Philip? He who has seen me, has seen the Father
; how do you say: Show us the Father?
10
Don't you believe that I AM in the Father and the Father is in me
? The words that I say to you I don't speak by myself, but the Father who lives in me does his works.
11 Believe me that I AM in the Father, and the Father is in me. At least believe in me for the cause of the works.
12
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me, he will also do the works that I do. And he will do works greater than these
. Because I go to the Father.
13 Whatever you will ask in my name, that I will do, for that the Father will be glorified in the Son.
14 If you will ask anything in my name, that I will do.
15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another
Consoler
, who can be with you for ever:
17 The
Spirit of Truth
, to whom
the world can't receive, because it can't regard him, neither know him
. But you will know him, because he will live with you and he will be in you.
18 I won't leave you inconsolable.
I will come to you
.
19 Yet a little while, and the world won't regard me anymore. But you will regard me, because I live, you will live too.
20 In that day
you will know that I AM in my Father, and you are in me, and I AM in you
.
21 He who has my commandments and keeps them, he is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and I will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas, not Iscariot (Jude Thaddaeus), said to him: Lord, what is coming to pass that you will manifest yourself to us, but not to the world?
23 Jesus answered: If anyone loves me, the one will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make
Our Home
with him.
24 He who doesn't love me, doesn't keep my words; and the word which you hear isn't mine, but from the Father who sent me.
25 I have spoken these things to you, while yet living with you.
26 But the
Consoler
, to whom the Father will send the
Holy Spirit
in my name, he will teach you all things, and will bring to your souvenir all that I said to you.
27 I leave peace with you. I give my peace to you. I don't give the peace to you as the world gives. Don't let your Heart beat, neither don't be fearful.
28 You heard what I said to you:
I go away, but I will come to you
. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father, because the Father is greater than I AM.
29 I have said this to you now, before it will come to pass, for that when it will come to pass, you can believe.
30 I won't talk much more to you, because the governor of this world does come, and he has nothing in me.
31 However the world must know that
I love the Father
. And
I do according to the orders of the Father
. Stand up, let's go from here. (John, XIV, 1-31).
44
None can come to me if the Father (who sent me) won't bring him
; and I will resurrect him in the last day. (John, VI, 44).
162. The House of the Father has many Homes. Behold any among them: “The primitive worlds, affecting to the first embodiments of the human soul; the worlds of expiations and trials, where the evil dominates; the regenerator worlds, where the souls, who has still what to expiate, liquefy novella strengths, all they reposing themselves against the fatigues of the darke
n
ess; the happy worlds, where the well wins the evil; the heavenly or godly worlds, hope of the purified Spirits, where the well reigns without partition. The crust of the earth partitions to the category of the worlds of expiations and trials, it is because the man there is in target of so many miseries.” (GAS, III, 4). Jesus is the Way because He is the pattern and the guide, which we must imitate. Jesus is the Truth and always says the truth, even if it pains to whom it pains. He is the Spirit of Truth. Jesus is well of eternal Life. None is happy without Him. Jesus says that He is the Father. Every pure Spirit or Holy Spirit is the Father. All of us can realize the works of Jesus if we believe in Him. One day we will be pure Spirits. Jesus said that he would send the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit across the Consoler: some mediums. He is pure Spirit who we can't see because he came across the mediumistic quality. He
still
didn't reborn: “Call the Creator from the scent of your Heart. Then He will send His worshipped Son to teach you and to say to you these good words: Behold me! I come to you, because you have called me.” (
The Spirit of Truth
, GAS, VI, 7). “How come, incomprehensible audacity, you imagine the sublime realization without affecting the Spirit of Truth, who is the proper Lord?” (Spirit of Alexander, page 99 of “The Missionaries of the Light”, of Andrew Louis, FEB, psicographer: Francisco Cândido Xavier). "With what goal would the
Spirit of Truth
come to deceive us, presenting himself under false appearances, to deceive a poor mother, making her believing that she has the son for whom she bathes in tears at her side? The reason denies admitting that the
Spirit, Holy among all,
climbs down to represent such comedy. Besides, denying the possibility of any other communication doesn't it mind in stealing from Spiritism what this has of more soft: the consolation of the afflicted ones?" (Allan Kardec, item 48 of the chapter IV, of the first part of the MB. Jesus loves the Father and obeys Him. Behold the pure Spirits don't make use of their free will. They always ask to other Holy Spirit what they must to do.
1 I AM the true vine (vineyard, viticulture – chapter LXX) and my Father is the husband (householder).
2 Every branch who is in me, but doesn't fructify, he cuts him away. But every branch who fruits, he cleans him, to produce more fruit.
3
You are already clean because of the word, which I have spoken to you
.
4 Live in me and I will live in you. The branch can't fructify himself, except if he lives in the vine. So you can't, except if you live in me.
5 I AM the vine and you are the branches. He who lives in me, and I in him, the same fruits much. Because you are able of nothing without me.
6 If a man doesn't live in me, he is cut away as a branch. He will fade. They catch them, cast them in the fire and they are burned.
7 If you live in me. And my words live in you. You will ask whatever you want, and it will be done to you.
8 Here my Father is glorified. Fructify much. Thus you will become my disciples.
9 As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Live in my love.
10 If you keep my commandments, you will live in my love. Thus as I have kept my Father's commandments, and I live in his love.
11 I have spoken these things to you, for that my orgasm (transmigration) can be in you, and that your orgasm (transmigration) can be whole.
12 This is my commandment: Love one to the other, thus as I have loved you.
13
No man has love greater than this: To lie down his Life for his friends
.
14
You are my friends, if you do the things, which I command, to you
.
15 Since now on I don't I call you servants, because the servant doesn't know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I have made you know.
16 I wasn't chosen by you, but I chose you. And I named you to go and to fruit, and your fruit will live, for that whatever you will ask to the Father in my name, he can give to you.
17 This I command to you:
You can love one to the other
. (John, XV, 1-17).
163. The Father cleans us (we are the branches of the grapevine which is Jesus), through the Gospel which is the word of Jesus, the word of God. Jesus cleans us (eats the dust of our Life – chapter LXXXVI) across the love. The
transmigration
(godly union) unites a Spirit to other Spirit, without union of the flesh, but with orgasm. You must transmigrate with Spirits of the same order of yours. Practise the self-sex and think in the Spirit of your order. The masturbation isn't an alone love, cause the Spirit participates. If we want to be cleaned we have to evangelize ourselves. If we are in the Christ we can much, without Him we can nothing. If we aren't in Him, we suffer. Jesus wants that we make what He orders us to do. It isn't convenient that we make use of our free will, we must make what Jesus orders to us, because it is the word of God, the Gospel. Jesus wants that we fruit. "The man is thus formed of three essential parts: – 1
st
. The naked body is material analogous to the animals, and animated by the same vital principle of them; 2
nd
. The soul, embodied Spirit whose body is his habitation; 3
rd
. The intermediary principle or perispirit, a half-material substance, which links the 1
st
part to the Spirit, and unites the soul to the body. Such a
fruit
: the seed, the pulp and the peel.” (Allan Kardec, 135, II, of SB). "You will lie in the front of the book the log of the grapevine (vineyard, vine, viticulture) which we have designed to you, because he is the emblem of the work of the Creator. All the material principles, which can represent the body and the Spirit are met united there at the best: the body, this is the log; the Spirit, this is the (grape) juice; the soul or Spirit united to the matter, this is the seed (zygote). The man fifthscents the Spirit across the work and you know that this is across the work of the body that the Spirit reposes the perfumed ones." (Prolegomena of SB). "The man is a little world, which has the Spirit as director and the body as directed. In this universe, the body will represent a creation whose God will be the Spirit." (Spirit Quinemant, item 27 of the Chapter II of Genese). Remember that it is convenient not to commit adultery in the flesh. Transmigration isn't marriage (chapters XV and LVI), cause there isn't union of the flesh.
18 If the world hates you, you must know that it has hated me before it hated you. (chapter XXIII).
19
If you belonged to the world, the world would love what it owns
. But because you don't belong to the world, on the contrary I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said to you:
A servant isn't greater than his Lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours
.
21 But they will do all these things to you for the cause of my name. Because they don't know him who sent me.
22 If I hadn't come and spoken to them, they wouldn't have sinned. However now they don't have an excuse for their sin.
23 He who hates me, hates my Father too.
24 If I hadn't done among them the works which none other did, they wouldn't have sinned. But now they have seen both and hated both: me and my Father.
25 But this came to pass, for that the word, which is written in their law, be fulfilled:
They hated me without a
cause
.
26 But when the
Consoler
will come, whom I will send to you from the
Father
(
the Spirit of truth
), who proceeds from the Father, he will witness about me.
27 And you will also witness,
because you have been with me from the principle
. (John, XV, 18-27).
19 Don't let them who are my enemies to rejoice wrongly over me. Neither let
them who hate me
wink their eyes
without a
cause
. (Psalm, XXXV, 19).
164. The disciples don't belong to the world. They are good Spirits who have already lived more according to the Spirit than to the flesh. The disciples are humble servants who the world, the impure Spirits, hate. As they hated Jesus. As the pharisees kept the word of Jesus, full of hate, also they will keep the words of His disciples. What is the hate but love of the one who envies? Consorts! Trust in the Love (Jesus) who unites you. Deliver your Life to your enemies in transmigration and stay at the side and your Life will turn for you. The Spirit of Truth indeed witnessed Jesus: “Which is the most perfect type who God has offered to the man for serving him as guide and pattern? Be voyeur of the body of Jesus.” (625 of SB). We are with Jesus from the principle, because we didn't have start in the times; our principle is in the Mineral Kingdom. We came from there to the Kingdom of God.
1 I have spoken these things to you, for that you don't scandalize yourselves.
2 They will cast you out of the synagogues.
Yes, the hour comes, when whoever kills you, will judge that he is worshipping God
.
3 They will do these things, because they haven't known the Father, nor me.
4 But I have spoken these things to you, for that you remember them how I told you when their hour will come. I didn't say these things to you from the principle. Because I was with you.
5 But now I go to him who sent me. But none among you asks me: Where do you go?
6 On the contrary because I have spoken these things to you, the displeasure filled your heart.
7 However I tell you the truth: It is convenient for you that I go away. Because if I don't go away, the
Consoler
won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8 When he is come, he will convict the world about the sin, the justice and the judgement.
9 The sin, because they don't believe in me.
10 The straightenment, because I go to the Father and you will regard me no more.
11 The judgement, because the prince of this world has been judged.
12
I have yet many things to say to you, but you can't support them now
.
13 But when the
Spirit of Truth
is come, he will guide you to all the Truth. Because he won't speak by himself. But he will speak anything whatever he will hear. He will speak to you the things, which are to come.
14
He will glorify me, because he will receive of what is mine and he will declare it to you
.
15
All things whatever the Father has are mine. Therefore I said that he receives of mine and he will declare it to you
.
16 A little while, and you will regard me no more. A little while again and you will see me.
17 Then, some of his disciples whispered one to another: What is this that he said to us: A little while and you won't regard me? Again a little while and you will see me? And, because I go to the Father?
18 So they said: What is this that he said: A little while? We don't know what he said.
19 Jesus listened to their thoughts, then he said: Do you question among yourselves concerning this, that I said: A little while and you won't regard me and again a little while and you will see me?
20 Truly, truly I say to you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will become orgasm.
21
When
a woman is working (opening herself – making a baby) she has sorrow
, because her hour is come. But when she receives the babe, she remembers no more the affliction, but the orgasm of having delivered a man to the world.
22 Thus you are sorrowful now.
But I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and none will take your orgasm away
.
23 In that day you will ask me no question. Truly, truly, I say to you: If you will ask anything to the Father, he will answer you in my name.
24 Until now you asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, for that your orgasm be whole.
25
I have spoken these things to you across cartoons
. The hour comes, when I will speak to you no more across
caricatures
, but I will tell you in plenary assembly about the Father.
26 In that day you will ask in my name. But I don't say to you that I will pray to the Father for you.
27 Because the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and you have believed that I came from the Father.
28 I came from the Father and I AM come to the world. Again, I leave the world and I go to the Father.
29 His disciples said: Now you speak in plenary assembly and you speak no
cartoon
.
30 Now we know that you know all things and you don't need that any man will ask you. Thus we believe that you came from God.
31 Jesus answered them: Do you believe now?
32 Behold, the hour comes, yes, it is come, when you will be scattered. Each man to his ownself and you will leave me alone.
However I AM not lonely yet, because the Father is with me
.
33 I have spoken these things to you, for that you can have peace in me.
In the world, you have afflictions. But have good soul. I have overcome the world
. (John, XVI, 1-33).
7 So you, son of man, I have charged you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word of my mouth and warn them for me.
8 When I say to the evil: Oh! Mean man, you will surely die, but you don't speak to warn the mean about his way, the mean man will die in his inequality, but I will demand his blood across your hand.
9 However, if you warn the mean man about his way to proselyte him, but he doesn't proselyte from his way; he will die in his inequality, but you have delivered your soul. (Ezekiel, XXXIII, 7-9).
165. The romans killed many christians in their circus. The roman people desired bread, wine and circus. Thus they worshipped their gods. The jews killed the Christ judging that they were worshipping the Divinity! The work of the Spirit of Truth who directed the execution of the Book of the Spirits is work of Jesus. “The Spirits, certain persons say, do they signal (teach) to us a novel moral, anything of superior to this which the Christ has said? If this moral is other than that of the Gospel, to whom is the Spiritism good? This fold seems singularly to that of the caliph Omar talking about the library of Alexandria: æIf she contents, he said, but this who has the Leather there, she is useless, so the fault will scald her. If she introduces another thing, she is mean, so the fault still will scald her.” (VIII of the conclusion of the SB). The Spirit of Truth is the Father sent by Jesus. The crucifixion will leave the disciples sorrowful, but Jesus will come back, will make them happy and none will be able to take away their orgasm, because Jesus overcomes the world! Jesus didn't say some things, because the men of that time couldn't support. Jesus created the christian plenary assemblies and these mustn't choose councils, because it is Jesus who elects His disciples. But in the Book of the Spirits we find all the Truth without caricatures: The Spirits “render the experts and the diplomas from the truths who had summer signaled but under caricatural form. And attached to the moral, they come to explain the most abstracted problems of the psychology.” (VIII of the conclusion of SB). Jesus isn't alone: the Father is always with Him. The Father is always with us, because we are all sons of God. We are gods. I AM your Lord and your God.
1 Jesus spoke these things, fixed his eyes in the heaven and said: Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, for that the son will glorify you.
2 Thus you gave him authority over all flesh, for that he would give eternal life to all whom you have given to him.
3 This is eternal life: That they know you:
The unique true God and him who you sent: Jesus Christ
.
4 I glorified you on the earth, having accomplished the work, which you have given to me to do.
5 Now, Father! Glorify me with your ownself across the glory, which I had with you before the world existed.
6 I manifested your name to the men whom you have given to me out of the world (item 163): They were yours, but you gave them to me and they have kept your word.
7 Now they know that all things whatever you have given to me are from you.
8 Because I have given for them the words which you gave to me. And they received them. Truly they knew that I came from you and they believed that you sent me.
9 I pray for them: I don't pray for the world, but for those whom you have given to me, because they are yours.
10
Gold, all things that are mine are yours. And yours are mine. And I AM glorified in them
.
11 I AM no more in the world, but these are in the world while I go to you. Holy (pure) Father, keep them, whom you have given to me, in your name,
for that they will be one, as we are one
.
12 While I was with them, whom you have given to me, I kept them in your name. And I guarded them, and none among them loosed oneself, but the son of the downfall (abyss), for that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
13 But now I go to you. And I speak these things in the world, for that they can have my whole orgasm in themselves.
14 I have given your word to them. But the world hated them, because they don't belong to the world, as I AM not too.
15 I don't pray for that you take them out from the world, but that you guard them against the evil one.
16 They don't belong to the world, as I AM not from the world.
17 Sanctify them in the Truth: Your word is the Truth. (Watch John, I,1).
18 As you sent me to the world, I also sent them to the world.
19 I sanctify myself for their causes, for that they themselves also can be sanctified in the Truth.
20 I don't pray only for these, but also for them who believe in me across your word.
21
For that they can all be one, as you, Father, is in me, and I AM in you. That they also will be one in us, for that the world will believe that you sent me
.
22 I have given to them the glory which you have given to me, for that
they will be one, as we are one
.
23 I in them, and you in me, for that they can be perfected in the
unity
, for that the world will know that you sent me, and loved them, as you loved me. (transmigration: the godly union).
24 Father, I desire that also they, whom you have given to me, be with me where I AM, for that they can regard my glory, which you have given to me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 Just Father, the world didn't know you. But I knew you. And these understood that you sent me.
26 I made them know your name and I will make you known, for that you are in them and I AM in them with the love which you loved me. (John, XVII, 1-26).
48 Therefore you will be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew, V, 48).
13 You will be perfect as Jesus (the Lord), your God. (Deuteronomy, XVIII, 13).
40 The disciple isn't superior to his Master, but every one who will be perfect, will be as his Master. (Luke, VI, 40).
26 You will be Holy for me, because I, Jesus (the Lord), AM Holy. And I have put you apart from the peoples, for that you will be mine. (Leviticus, XX, 26).
166. Jesus feels Himself glorified through His mission of being crucified. Jesus has already had the glory of being God before the Earth was created. The disciples continue embodied on earth, although they are good Spirits come from a better world (regenerator). Jesus wants that the disciples be one in the Father, likewise He is one in the Father. The word of God is the Truth. Jesus is the word of God (John, I, 1). All we will be Holy Spirits one day and one in the Father, as Jesus is one in the Father. Our unity in God will occur after our perfecting. The love of God unites us for ever. “When your Spirit will be more BAdarkened (BA – Bar Association – Council) by the matter and that, across his perfection, he will be approached himself of Him, then he will see Him and will comprehend Him.” (11 of SB). “All the men are brothers in God, because they are animated by the Spirit and they tend to the same end (goal).” (54 of SB). “Are all men equal before God? Who?! All tend to the same end (goal), and God has made His laws for all the world.” (803 of SB). “Gravitate versicle of the godly unity, such the end (goal) of humanity; for reaching there, three things are necessary: the Justice, the Love and the Science.” (Paul apostle, 1009 of SB). "Such is the law." (Allan Kardec). “Haven't we said that all chain themselves inside the Nature and tend to the unity? It is in these beings, who you are far from knowing all, that the intelligent Prince elaborates himself, individualizes himself little by little and essays himself to the Life,” (607, II, of SB). “Across consequent, the love which the Christ recommended to the men has done to qualify between them; so they have all two obeyed to the law of love and union of all the beings, godly law which must soothe the unity, goal and end of the Spirit (1).” (665 of SB). The end of the Spirit is to be God (1 of SB). “They can sulk themselves:
they have more the mask under those the little critics disguise themselves;
it is because their affections are unalterable when they are pure. The Love who unites them is The Well of a supreme happiness for them.” (296 of SB). “The union exists among all the Spirits, but in different degrees according to the range that they occupy, it means, according to the perfection that they have loved: the more they are perfect, the more they are united. All the evils of the humans are born from the disunion; the whole welfare results from the agreement.” (298 of SB). “All the Spirits are united among them. I talk about these who reached the perfection. Inside the inferior spheres, when a Spirit elevates himself, he has more the same sympathy for these who he has forgiven.” (300 of SB). “The Love who unites them is The Well of a supreme happiness for them. They prove neither the necessities, nor the sufferings, nor the anguishes of the material Life; they are happy of the well they do; in spite of the welfare of the Spirits is always proportionated to their elevation.
The pure Spirits enjoy lonely, He is true, of the supreme welfare (orgasm)
, but all the others aren't unhappy among the mean ones and the perfect ones, there is an infinity of degrees where the orgasms are relative to the moral state.” (967 of SB). God can't give to the one who doesn't have. “Yes, the law of attraction is the same for all.” (60 of SB). “Love yourselves the ones to the others, this is all the law, godly law, across that God governs the worlds. The Love is the law of attraction for the alive and organized beings; the attraction is the law of Love for the organic matter.” (888, II, of SB). “
Mark
that the fundamental princes are the same for all and must unite you inside a common thought: the love of God and the practise of the well.” (IX of the conclusion of the SB). “Study your proper imperfections in end (goal) to disOBey them yourselves,” (14 of SB). “The desire of the inferior Spirits is to impel so much that the still inexperienced Spirits are in them to reach the supreme well.” (281 of SB). “All the Spirits tend to the perfection, and God lights their hearth across the proofs of the corporal Life.” (...) “The thought that this inferiority doesn't disinherit him ever of all the supreme well, and that he rot (can) conquer her across new efforts, with brassiÞres she excites his boldness.” (Allan Kardec, 171 of SB). “They advance the bow, they comprehend this who eloigns the perfection. When the spirit has finished a trial, he has the science and he doesn't hear. He can remain stationary, but he doesn't he doesn't turn to the preceding degree.” (118 of SB). “Surely she sees the end (goal) and she comprehends much better than the alive of her body; she comprehends the necessity of purification to reach to the infinite, and she knows that at each existence she leaves some impurities.” (306, II, of SB). “When he is skinned alive of all his impurities, he doesn't have more necessities of the corporal Life.” (168 of SB). “The eternal welfare and without mélange is for them inside this perfection. The Spirits reach their perfumed ones passing across the proofs which God imposed to them.” (115 of SB). “We must All do to reach to the perfection, and the man is himself an instrument whose God mounts Himself for reaching His ends (goals). The perfection is so the end (goal) which the Nature tends. It is answering her sights that you favor this perfection.” (692 of SB). The good or bad moral qualities of the man “are those of the Spirit who is incarnated in him. The more this Spirit is pure, the more this man is brought to the Well.” (361 of SB). “Null reaches the supreme degree of capacity in an any art without having liquefied the necessary perfumed ones inside the practise of the parts the most intimate of this art.” (Allan Kardec, 561 of SB). “You hear that a Spirit who has practised an art inside the existence when you know him, can have practised another in another existence, cause it is convenient that he knows all for being perfect; thus according to his degree of advancement, he can't have the specialty there for him.” (566 of SB). The Spirits “are of different orders, according to the degree of perfection which they are to reach (future).” (96 of SB). “What does the Spirit owe after his last incarnation? Well-beatified Spirit; he is pure Spirit.” (170 of SB – chapter XVII). “But the pure Spirits who are reached to the perfection aren't errant: their state is definitive.” (226 of SB). “The
first
category or division, in end (goal), comprehends the pure Spirits, these who has attained the
supreme
degree of perfection.” (100 of SB). "God is the
supreme
intelligence,
first
cause of all things." (1 of SB). “The pure Spirits: these who are at the hottest degree of the ladder and rejoin all the perfections.” (128 of SB). “Which is the Nature of the occupations of the pure Spirits? To receive directly the orders of God, to transmit them inside all the universe and to watch to their execution.” (562, I, of SB). “The recent ones have represented the angels or pure Spirits under a radiant figure, with white wings, emblem of the purity;” (Allan Kardec, 131 of SB). “Having attained the sum of perfection whose creature is sensitive, they have more to suffer neither proofs, nor expiations. Neither being more subject to the reincarnation inside perishable (rotting) bodies, they accomplish the eternal Life for them in the breasts of God. They enjoy a welfare (orgasm) unalterable,” (113 of SB). “What is it convenient to understand when we say that the pure Spirits are rejoined in the chest of God and occupied in adverting His homages? It is a cartoon who paints the intelligence that they have of the perfections of God, because they see Him and comprehend Him, but He doesn't fault more in catching the letter that beautiful coup of the others. All inside the Nature, from the seed of sand, advert, this mean, proclaim the might, the wisdom and the kindness of God.” (...) “They have more works of the existence of the psychosoma: it has been an orgasm. Afterworld as we have said to Him, they perfume and know all things; they introduce to profit the intelligence coup they have reached for aiding the progress of the other Spirits. It is their occupation and an orgasm at the same time.” (969 of SB). “All of us! Men of courage; ejaculate less of you, once for all, prejudge and coup-thought; go inside the novella way who opens herself before you. March! March! You have the guides, follow them: the end (goal) can fault you, cause this end (goal) is God Himself.” (Saint Louis, Saint Augustine, 495 of SB). “Wouldn't we be happier remaining Spirit? No, no; we would be stationary and we want to advance you versicle God.” (175, I, of SB). “God must have this perfections at the supreme degree, cause if he having lonely one minus, or Well who doesn't log to the infinite degree, he wouldn't be superior to all and, consequently he wouldn't be God.” (13 of SB). “God is infinite inside his perfections,” (Allan Kardec, 3 of SB). God is immaterial (13 of SB): “But this psychosoma is more or less material according to the degree of purity where the Spirits are reached, and it is this who makes the difference of the worlds which we must go through; cause he has many homes there at the house of our Father and for then many degrees.” (181 of SB). “Cause the Spirits purify the bow themselves, they embody themselves in worlds more and more perfect, just this who they have skinned all the matter and dirtied himself washed (purified) of all their filths, for enjoying the happiness of the pure Spirits eternally in the bosom (breasts, chest, knee, feet) of God.” (985 of SB). The pure Spirits reach the unity in God, but they never lose their individuality. “The Spirits are the individualization (personification) of the intelligent prince, as the bodies are the undividation of the material prince. It is the epoch and the manner of this formation that are unknown.” (79 of SB). “The future Life implicates the conservation of our individuality after the death;” (Allan Kardec, 959 of SB). “How come the Spirits, who have more the psychosoma, can they verify their individuality and distinguish themselves of the other spiritual beings who surround them? They verify the individuality of them by the perispirit, which in making the beings distinct the ones for the others, as the body among the men.” (284 of SB). "VI. – The end (goal) of the soul, in her evolution, is reaching and accomplishing in herself and turning around of her, crossing the times and the ascending stations of the Universe, by blossoming mights she has in seed, this eternal notion of the Beauty and Good, which means the idea of God, the proper idea of perfection." (Léon Denis,
O Problema do Ser, do Destino e da Dor
, 5
th
edition, Brazilian Spiritist Federation, Rio de Janeiro, page. 453 – the last one). " God is, in the immensity, the infinite. Spirit such pure, so subtle that very few spirits can see Him, such extensive that irradiates everywhere don't dividing Himself, keeping thus His own individuality." (Jean-Baptiste Roustaing.
The Four Gospels
. Tome I, 4¬ edition, Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian Spiritist Federation, 1954, translation of Guillon Ribeiro, N. 38, page. 216).
LXXXVIII – The two swords
9 Don't carry gold, nor silver, nor brass in your belts;
10 neither saddlebag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor crook; because the worker is worthy of his food. (Matthew, X, 9-10).
12 Therefore I will divide him in parts to the great ones, and he will divide the spoil with the strong ones, because he spilled his soul to the death, and
he was numbered with the transgressors
; yet he showed the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors. (Isaiah, LIII, 12).
35 Jesus asked them: When I sent you without saddlebag, or purse, or sandals, did anything lack to you? They answered: Nothing.
36 He said to them: But now, he who has a purse, let him take it, likewise a saddlebag; and he who doesn't have a sword, let him sell his cape and buy a sword.
37 Cause I say to you, that this, which is written, must be fulfilled in me: And
he was counted among the transgressors
. Because what concerns about me has been fulfilled.
38 They said:
Lord, lo two swords!
He answered: It is enough. (Luke, XXII, 35-38).
167. Jesus orders the disciples to buy swords to prove that they had one, cause He knew them! They were disobedient! He had said to the disciples not to carry money, but Judas had the purse (chapter LXXXV). Judas didn't only have the purse, but he took what was cast in it and he said that it was to the poor. Now Jesus show to us all that they had not only money, but they also carried swords. In fact, Judas wasn't the only one who betrayed Him. They all used the purse. Do you have a purse? No? No sin? So cast the first stone in Judas. Who is the Rose who doesn't have nails? Or the man who doesn't love his Life across the sword?
LXXXIX – Jesus worships the Father at the Mount of Olives
30 Then they sang a
hymn (bellicose chant – because of the swords – hymen)
and went out to the mount of Olives. (Matthew, XXVI, 30).
26 They sung a
hymn (chant of war)
and went out to the mount of Olives. (Mark, XIV, 26).
36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called
Gethsemane
, and said to his disciples: Sit down here while I go to the beyond to pray.
37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and began to be sorrowful and indignant.
38 Then he said to them:
My soul
is extremely sad, even to death. Remain here and watch with me.
39 And he went forward a little, fell on his face and prayed: My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass far from me! However, don't be as I want, but as you want.
40 And he came to the disciples and met them sleeping. He said to Peter: So you couldn't watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray (chapter LXXXII)! For that you don't succumb to temptation.
Truly the spirit is ready,
but the flesh is weak.
42 He went there and prayed again: My Father, if this cup can't pass, except I drink it, your wish be done.
43 And he came again and met them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44 He left them again and went to pray a third time, repeating again the same words.
45 Then he came to the disciples and said: Sleep and soothe! Behold the hour is come. The Son of Man is betrayed in the hands of sinners.
46 Wake up! Come on! Behold, the traitor is coming. (Matthew, XXVI, 36-46).
32 Then they went to a place called
Gethsemane
. There he said to his disciples: Sit down here, while I pray.
33 And he took Peter and James and John with him, and began to be greatly stupefied and sorry troubled.
34 He said to them:
My soul
is deeply sad even to death. Stay here and watch.
35 He went forward a little, fell on the ground, prayed for that, if it were possible, that hour would pass far from him.
36 And he said: Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Pass this cup far from me; however don't be as I want, but according to you.
37 He came and met them sleeping. He said to Peter: Simon, do you sleep? Couldn't you watch one hour?
38 Watch and pray, for that you don't enter in temptation.
Truly the spirit is willing
, but the flesh is weak.
39 He went and prayed again repeating the same words.
40 He came and met them sleeping, because their eyes were very heavy. They didn't know what to answer to him.
41 And he came the third time and said to them: Sleep and soothe! It is enough! The hour is come. Behold the Son of Man is betrayed to the hands of sinners.
42 Wake up! Come on! Behold the traitor is coming. (Mark, XIV, 32-42).
39 And he went, as his custom, to the
mount of Olives
, and the disciples also followed him.
40 When he was at the place, he said to them: Pray for that you don't succumb to temptation.
41 And he aparted from them about a pelt and he kneeled praying:
42 Father, if you want, put this cup far from me; however don't do my will, but yours.
43 Then
an Angel from heaven appeared to him, hugging him
.
44 His
Heart hated him, so he prayed more deeply. His tears and sweat became as drops of blood falling down on the ground
.
45
He rosed his prayer
and went to the disciples. He met them sleeping unfortunately.
46 He said to them: Why do you sleep?
Rose and pray!
For that you don't succumb to temptation. (Luke, XXII, 39-46).
1 Even I spoke the languages of the men and angels,
but I didn't have love (charity), I would be as brass sounding, or cymbals (nails) tinkling
. (1 Corinthians, XIII, 1).
168. Finished the saint supper,
the disciples sang a bellicose hymn in choral without instruments, cause they were ready to use the two swords
: “Soon demand if he has a form of worshipping there more convenient, cause it would be demanding if he is more agreeable to God of being inside one language more than another. I say to yet once:
the chants
reach to Him, but across the pain (door) of the heart.” (654 of SB). “However the vulgar Spirits can prove a certain pleasure to understand your music, because it isn't given to them the comprehending of a more sublime one.” (251 of SB). The music of the Earth attracts impure Spirits, so Kardec recommends the silence. “The true spiritist doctrine is inside the signal (teaching) given by the Spirits, and the perfumed ones, who this signal (teaching) comports, are much grave for being able to be reached besides by a Serious study and followed, made inside the
silence
and the retirement;” (XVII of Introduction of SB). Jesus prayed refering Himself to the disciples who had drunk wine and eaten meat (flesh) and didn't reach to stay awaked. They were the weak flesh, the imprudent virgins. The calyx of wine is a cup of bitternesses. Cause the alcohol causes impotency, depression, rottenness of the vital organs and other diseases, so much pain. The meat also causes diseases. Jesus would be betrayed and the disciples slept. The Angelic Being who was before Him was very sad, cause She worshipped Him! But she had to say that She hated Him and that He had to die! She made His heart beat mightier and Jesus sweat and wept tears of nostalgia of Love. The heavenly Father is His red Rose and His Heart. The sweat of Jesus perfumed His Angel with fragrance of roses. This is the true hymn (hymen, choral chant): that which comes from the Heart.
XC – Jesus is arrested
39 And this is the will of him who sent me:
That I don't lose anyone of all those who he gave to me
; but I will resurrect him in the last day. (John, VI, 39 – chapter XLIII).
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went with his disciples along the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, where he entered in himself and his disciples.
2 Now Judas, the traitor, knew that place. Because Jesus was there many times with his disciples.
3 Then Judas received the brass band of guards and officers from the main priests and the pharisees. So he went there with lanterns, torches and weapons.
4 Jesus knew all the things that were coming to him, therefore he went forward and asked to them: Who do you seek?
5 They answered: Jesus from Nazareth. Jesus said to them:
I AM
. Now Judas, the traitor, also was there with them.
6 Suddenly when he said to them:
I AM
,
they went backward and fell on the earth
.
7 He asked them again: Who do you seek? They said: Jesus Nazarene.
8 Jesus answered: I told you that
I AM
. If you seek me, let these go away.
9 For that the word, which he had spoken, could be fulfilled:
I don't lose anyone of all those who he gave to me
.
10
Suddenly Simon Peter unsheathed a sword which he brought and struck the servant of the highest priest
, cutting his right ear. Now the name of the servant was
Malchus
.
11 But Jesus said to Peter: Sheathe the sword! Won't I drink the cup (chapter LXXXIX), which the Father gave to me? (John, XVIII, 1-11).
47 While he yet spoke, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the main priests and the elders of the people.
48 Now the traitor gave them a sign:
Whoever I will kiss, that is he: Arrest him
.
49 Straightway he approached to Jesus and said:
Save Master!
And kissed him.
50 However Jesus said to him:
Friend, favor of whom did you come?
Then they came and lay their hands on Jesus, arresting him.
51
Lo one among them who were with Jesus extended his hand, drew his sword and attacked the servant of the highest priest, cutting his ear
.
52 Then Jesus said to him: Sheathe your sword again.
Cause all they who take the sword will perish across the sword
.
53
Don't you think that I can beseech to my Father, and he would send me more than twelve legions of angels immediately?
54 How then would the scriptures be fulfilled, if this doesn't happen?
55 In that moment Jesus said to the multitudes: Did you come out with swords and clubs as against a robber to hunt me?
I sat down daily in the temple teaching, but you didn't arrest me. (chapters XIII, XLV, XLVII, LXI).
56 But all this is coming to pass, for that the Scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, fleeing. (Matthew, XXVI, 47-56).
43 Soon, while he yet spoke, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the main priests, the scribes and the elders.
44 Now the traitor had given a signal to them: Whoever I will kiss, that is he; arrest him and
guide him safely
.
45 When he came, straightway he went to him and said: Master! And kissed him.
46 So they lay their hands on him and arrested him.
47
But a certain one among them drew his sword and attacked the servant of the highest priest cutting his ear
.
48 Jesus said to them: Did you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to arrest me?
49
Daily I was with you in the temple teaching, but you didn't arrest me
. However this is done for that the Scriptures be fulfilled.
50 Then they all left him, fleeing.
51
A certain teenager followed him, having a towel over his naked body. They lay their hands on him
.
52
But he left the towel and fled nude
. (Mark, XIV, 43-52).
47 While he yet spoke, lo a multitude came and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went ahead them. He approached to Jesus to kiss him.
48 But Jesus said to him:
Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?
49 When they who were around him saw what would happen, they said:
Lord, will we smack across the sword?
50
A certain one among them struck the servant of the highest priest cutting his right ear.
51
But Jesus aided saying: Suffer farther. And he touched his ear healing him.
52 Then Jesus said to the main priests, captains of the temple and elders who came against him: Did you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53
When I was daily with you in the temple, but you didn't put your hands against me
.
But this is your hour and the power of darkness
. (Luke, XXII, 47-53).
1
I AM
the true vine (vineyard, viticulture – chapter LXX) and my Father is the husband (householder).
13 No man has love greater than this: To lie down his Life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do the things, which I command to you. (John, XV, 1 e 13-14 – chapter LXXXVII).
16 He had seven stars in his right hand. A sharp two-edged sword comes from his mouth. His image was like to the sun brightening in his might.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he lay his right hand on me, saying: Don't fear.
I AM
the first, the last,
18 and the Living One. I was dead, but behold,
I AM
alive eternally. I have
the keys of the death and of Hades (abyss).
(Revelation I, 16-18).
5 If anyone desires to hurt them, fire will come from their mouth and will devoure their enemies. If anyone will desire to hurt them,
surely, he must die
. (Revelation, XI, 5).
10 If anyone is for prison, he goes to prison.
If anyone will kill across the sword, he must be killed across the sword
. Here is the patience and the belief of the saints. (Revelation XIII, 10).
169. Judas, the traitor, is one of the viticulturists. Jesus is the Vineyard (chapter LXX). Judas knew that the true Vine belonged to the Father, the husband. He had received the orders of the Father (Jesus) to lie down his Life to the
world
. The garden represents the place where the tree of the Vine is. Before delivering his Life to the world, Judas asks to Jesus: Save me! Cause he was full of sorrow. And he kisses Him. Jesus had promised that none of his ones would be lost. Neither even this Judas Iscariot so hated by the world. To the favor of whom did Judas come? To the favor of so many men who, as himself, lie down their own Life to the
world
. Men who accept the more undermost missions for love of His God. Which man wouldn't kiss his Life before delivering Her to the world? The majority of the men prefer to betray his Life kissing other women. But not Judas Iscariot (our friend Andrew Louis or Jeanne D'Arc)! The kiss which he gave in his Life was of the purest love and of the purest obedience. The others viticulturists didn't want to deliver their Vineyard. Simon Peter uses one of those swords to cut the ear of one of the servants of the highest priest Caiaphas (the highest priest of that y
ear
– chapter LXII), that who prophesized the necessity of sacrificing a man in honor to God. But Jesus heals the ear of Malchus. The priests arrive armed and they fall in the earth when Jesus says:
I AM
, because
I AM
is the name of God. The pharisees didn't arrest Jesus many times because they couldn't. Well! They tried. But it isn't possible to imprison God. Who can imprison the Holy Spirit? Jesus had the fluidic body... All the disciples fled leaving Jesus alone. “Jesus has said:
Whoever has killed across the sword will perish across the sword
. These words aren't they the consecration of the pen of talion? And the death afflicted to the murderous isn't she the application of this pen? Wait for! You are slighted yourselves over these words
as over lovely coup of the others
. The pen of talion, this is the justice of God; this is Him who apply her. You all suffer this pen at each instant, cause you are punished across where you have sinned, inside this Life
or in another
; that who has made suffer his fellow men will be inside a position where he will suffer himself this what he golded made to harden; this is the meaning of the words of Jesus; but hasn't He also said to you?: Forgive to your enemies? And hasn't He signaled you to demand to God to forgive you of your offenses as you golded to forgive yourselves; yes, he means
inside the same proportion
that you golded to forgive: Do you comprehend that well?” (764 of SB). According to the book “Two thousand years ago”, psychographied by Chico Xavier, the nude teenager is the proper evangelist Mark who spied the imprisonment of Jesus. The Spirit of God has the might of killing those who have body of flesh, because He Himself is Eternal and can't die. If anyone dies it is because God killed Him, but the dead will live in Spirit. Nothing is done without authorization of God.
XCI – Jesus is inquired by the council of the patriarchs
12 So the band and the officer and the guards of the jews arrested Jesus tieing his hands.
13 They conducted him to Annas first. Because he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the highest priest of that y
ear
.
14 Now Caiaphas was he who counseled to the jews to be convenient that one man would die for the people. (chapter LXII).
19 Then the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him: I have spoken publicly to the world. I ever taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the jews rejoin themselves. I spoke nothing secretly.
21 Why do you question me? Ask them who have heard me, what I spoke to them. Behold, these know the things which I said.
22 When he had said this, one of the guards, who were there, slapped Jesus, saying: Thus do you answer the highest priest?
23 Jesus replied him: If I have spoken evil, witness the evil. But if spoke well, why did you slap me?
24 So Annas sent him, with tied hands, to Caiaphas, the highest priest. (John, XVIII, 12-14 e 19-24).
14 And
God
said to Moses:
I AM WHO I AM
. And more: Thus you will say to the sons of Israel:
I AM
sent me to you.
15 And God said more to Moses: Thus you will say to the children of Israel: The Lord, the God of your fathers (patriarchs, ancients), the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you;
this is my name eternally
, and this is my memorial to all generations. (Exodus, III, 14-15).
66 At the reveille, the council of the patriarchs of the people was rejoined: the main priests and the scribes. They conducted him to their council, saying:
67
If you are the Christ, tell us
. But he answered: If I tell you, you won't believe.
68 If I ask you, you won't answer.
69
From now on the Son of Man will be sat at the right hand of the might of God
.
70 They all said:
Then are you the Son of God?
He answered: You said that
I AM
.
71 They cried: What necessity do we have of more witness? Because we ourselves heard from his own mouth.
63 The men who arrested Jesus mocked him and beat him
64 blinding his eyes. They said: Prophesy: Who did beat you?
65 And many other things they spoke against him, slandering him. (Luke, XXII, 63-71).
53 They took Jesus to the highest priest. They rejoined all the main priests, the elders and the scribes with him.
54 Peter had followed from far him even to inside of the courtesy of the highest priest. He was sat among the guards, and warming himself in the light of the fire. (Revelation, III, 15-16).
55 Now the main priests and the whole council searched witnesses against Jesus to convict him to death, but they didn't encounter.
56
Cause many witness falsely against him
, but their witnesses didn't agree.
57 Certain ones stood up to witness falsely against him, saying:
58 We heard him saying: I will destroy this temple that is made through hands and I will build another made without hands in three days.
59 Not even so did their witnesses agreed.
60 The highest priest stood up in the middle and asked Jesus: Do you answer nothing to these witnesses against you?
61 But he shut up answering nothing. The highest priest asked him again saying to him:
Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed God
?
62 Jesus answered:
I AM
and you will see the Son of Man sat at the right hand of the Almighty and
coming across the clouds of heaven
.
63 Then the highest priest ripped his clothes and said: What necessity do we have of more witnesses?
64 You heard the blasphemy: What do you think? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.
65 Some began to spit on him. They covered his face and slapped him saying: Prophesy! And the guards smacked their hands in him. (Mark, XIV, 53-65).
57 They who had arrested Jesus conducted him to the house of Caiaphas, the highest priest, where the scribes and the elders were rejoined.
58 But Peter followed him from far, until the courtesy of the highest priest, entered in and sat among the guards to see the end.
59 Now the main priests and the whole council searched false witnesses against Jesus, in order to convict him to death.
60 They didn't encounter, although
many false witnesses
had come. But afterworld two came
61 saying: This man said:
I AM
able to destroy the temple of God and to build it again in three days
.
62 The highest priest stood up and said to him: Don't you answer anything to these witnesses against you?
63 But Jesus shut up. The highest priest said to him:
I adjure you by the Living God, that you tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God
.
64 Jesus answered:
It was said by you. However I say to you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sat at the right hand of the Almighty and coming from the clouds of heaven
.
65 Then the highest priest ripped his dresses, saying: He cursed! What witnesses do we need more? Behold, now you heard the curse!
66 What do you think? They answered: He is worthy of death.
67 Then some spit in his face and beat him. Others slapped him, saying:
68 Prophesy to us, Oh! Oh! Christ! Who is he who slapped you? (Matthew, XXVI, 57-68).
39 But I say to you: Do not resist to do the evil; but if someone slap you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Matthew, V, 39).
22 But I say to you: Everyone, without cause, who is angry with his brother will be in danger of the judgment; and who insult his brother will be in danger of the court; and who say: You are fool, will be in danger of the flames. (Matthew, V, 22).
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would like that you were cold or hot!
16 So because you are warm, neither hot nor cold, I will spew you out of my mouth.
17 Because you say: I am rich. I have wealth. I need nothing. However you don't know that you are bad-beatified, miserable, poor, blind and naked. (Revelation, III, 15-17).
170. The councilors condemned Him because He said that He was
I AM
, the living God, Son of God, God. However, no law condemns a man for declaring Himself God. Whoever of we isn't son of God? Whoever of us isn't god? All of we will have the supreme intelligence one day. “God is the supreme
intelligence
, the first cause of all things (1).” (1 of SB). “
The intelligence
is a scent courtesy of the Spirit but
the One
and the other confound themselves inside a common prince, thus this is the same thing for you.” (24 of SB). “
The intelligence
is a faculty proper to each being and
constitutes
his
moral
individuality
.” (72, I, of SB). The intelligence "is
incontestably
a
exclusive
courtesy of the soul." (Allan Kardec, item 12 of the chapter III of the Genese). “The intelligence is a courtesy of the Spirit, but who manifests himself more freely when he doesn't have goal posts (in the proper eye).” (237 of SB – Matthew, VII, 3). “Which is the state of the soul to her first embodiment? The state of the childhood to the corporal Life; her intelligence peels across the pen
she essays to the Life
.” (190 of SB). “The Spirits have the
Ones
over the others an authority relative to their superiority, and they exercise that across an irresistible scent moral.” (...) “The inferior Spirits can they steal themselves to the authority of these who are superior to them? I have said: irresistible.” (274 of SB). “
We see
above all these an intelligence who dominates all the others, who governs them all, who distinguishes ownself across the scent courtesies. It is this supreme intelligence that we call God.” (Allan Kardec, 28 of SB). "Cause God possesses the infinite perfection in all things, this maxim: 'Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect,' catch to the letter, would presuppose the possibility to hope to the absolute perfection. If He has done to the creature to be also perfect as the Creator, she diverts equal right to Him, this is inadmissible! But those men who communicate to Jesus doesn't gold to accomplish this nudity; He is born to present to them a Pattern and their word is to endeavor to reach Him." (Allan Kardec, chapter, XVII, 2 of GAS). Peter warmed himself at the false light, the light of the fire, courting the rich house of the very rich highest priest of the patriarchs. Jesus is the true LIGHT, the light of the world. Warm and ignorant men will never be well-beatified, rich of the perfections of God, able to see the more perfect Spirits, or to dress themselves of the more perfect and lovely spiritual bodies or psychosomas. Those men would destroy (rip) the veil of Jesus. But God would build His temple again in three days, cause His body is absolutely perfect and glorious. We will do as Holy Mary, mother of Jesus, who died and climb to the heaven of body and soul becoming God.
XCII – Peter denies Jesus
15 Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was known by the highest priest. He entered in with Jesus in the courtesy of the highest priest.
16 But Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known by the highest priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door and brought Peter in.
17 Then the virgin who kept the door asked to Peter: Aren't you also one of the disciples of this man? He answered:
I AM not
.
18 Now the servants and the guards were there. They made a fire of coals; cause it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter also was with them, warming himself too.
25 Now Simon Peter was there warming himself. Therefore they asked him: Are you also one of his disciples? He denied:
I AM not
.
26 One of the servants of the highest priest,
blood relative of him whose ear Peter had cut,
asked: Didn't I see you in the garden with him?
27 Therefore
Peter denied again
: Straightway the cock clucked. (John, XVIII, 15-18 e 25-27).
54 They arrested him and conducted him to the high priest's house. But Peter followed from far.
55 They kindled a fire in the middle of the courtesy, they sat down together. Peter sat in the middle of them.
56 And a certain maid saw him sat in the light of the fire. She looked fixedly to him and said: This man also was with him.
57 But Peter denied, saying:
Woman
, I don't know him.
58 After a little while another saw him, and said: You are also one of them. But Peter answered: Man,
I AM not
.
59 After the space of about one hour another self-confident affirmed, saying: Truly this man also was with him, because he is a galilaean.
60 But Peter said: Man,
I don't know what you say
. Suddenly, while he yet talked, the cock clucked.
61 Then
the Lord
turned fixing His eyes in Peter. And Peter remembered
the word of the Lord
, how he had said to him: Today before the cock clucks you will deny me thrice.
62 So Peter went out and wept bitter drops. (Luke, XXII, 54-62).
69 Now Peter was sat out in the courtesy. A maid came to him, saying: You also were with Jesus, the galilaean.
70 But he denied him before them all, saying: I don't know what you say.
71 When he was gone out to the porch, another maid saw him and said to them who were there: This man also was with Jesus from Nazareth.
72 And he denied again with an oath: I don't know such man.
73 After a little while they who were there came and said to Peter: Truly you also are one of them, because your speech tells who you are.
74 Then he began to curse and to swear:
I don't know this man!
Immediately the cock clucked.
75 Then Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said: Before the cock clucks, you will deny me three times. He went out and wept
bitter
. (Matthew, XXVI, 69-75 –
chapter LXXXIX
).
66 Peter was beneath in the courtesy. One of the maids of the high priest came.
67 She saw Peter warming himself, fixed her eyes in him, and said: You also were with Jesus, the Nazarene.
68 But he denied: I neither know, nor understand what you say. And he went out to the porch. And the cock clucked.
69 The maid saw him and began again to say to them who were there: This is one of them.
70 But he denied him again. And after a little while, they who were there said to Peter: Truly you are one of them, because you are also a galilaean.
71
But he began to curse and to swear: I don't know this man of whom you speak!
72 Suddenly the second time the cock clucked. Then Peter remembered the word, which Jesus said to him: Before the cock clucks twice, you will deny me thrice. Then he knew himself and watered to wept. (Mark, XIV, 66-72).
171. In the Saint Supper (chapter LXXXVII) Peter had said that he would lie his Life for Jesus, but Jesus said to him that he would deny Him three times. Jesus prayed three times in the Mount of Olives (chapter LXXXIX) for that the disciples could carry the cross of the bitternesses. The cock Peter had sung very bad (chapter LXXXIX) and vibrated the sword. However, he did as the counselors (chapter XCI). He denied Jesus three times. Can a cock sing well? Certainly not! Peter clucked, but he wasn't yet able to take his cross and to deny himself, emptying his selfishness. How many men aren't thus? They sing bad saying they are worshipping God, however they deny the Christ, the cross and His Divinity. John evangelist is the disciple who conducted Simon Peter to inside the house. He could hear when Peter said:
I AM not
, which is exactly the contrary of what Jesus said affirmatively to the council of the patriarchs. Peter finished of denying Jesus, and immediately Jesus went out of the house, looked to Peter and the cock imitated Peter singing hymns. Coincidence?! No, nothing is hazard. “God acts never for caprice and all, inside the universe, is reigned by the laws where His wisdom and His kindness reveal themselves.” (1003 of SB).
XCIII – Judas Iscariot commits suicide
1 When the aurora came, all the main priests and the elders of the people counsel themselves against Jesus to put him to die.
2 They tied his hands, conducted him and delivered him to Pilate, the governor.
3 Then Judas, the traitor, when he saw that he was condemned, regretted himself and brought the thirty silver coins to the main priests and elders, saying:
4 I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they answered: What does it mind to us? These troubles are yours.
5 Then Judas cast the silver coins in the temple and went away.
He went to hang himself.
6 And the main priests took the silver coins, and said: It is not lawful to lie them in the treasury, cause this is the price of blood.
7 They counseled themselves, and bought the field of the potter with them, to be cemetery of foreigners.
8 Therefore that field was called, the Field of Blood, until this day.
9 Then what was spoken across Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: They took the thirty silver coins, the price of him who was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel appraised.
10 They gave them for the field of the ceramist, thus the Lord ordered me. (Matthew, XXVII, 1-10).
16 Brothers, it was necessary the accomplishment of the Scripture spoken by the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David before concerning Judas, who was guide of them who arrested Jesus.
17 Because he was numbered among us and received his part in this ministry.
18 Now this man acquired a field with the price of his inequality.
He fell head first, his body was divided in the middle, and all his entrails were spilled.
19 This became known by all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, such that field was called Akeldama in their language, this means, the Field of Blood. (Acts of the Apostles, I, 16-19).
1 The word of Jesus, the Lord, to Jeremiah:
2 Stand up, go down to the house of the ceramist. There you will hear my words. (Jeremiah, XVIII, 1-2).
6 Jeremiah said: The word of Jesus came to me, saying:
7 Behold Hanamel the son of Shallum, your uncle, will come to you, saying: Buy my field which is in Anathoth, cause
the right of redemption is yours
. Buy it.
8 So my first cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtesy of the guard and said to me according to the word of Jesus: I pray to you. Buy my field which is in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin.
Because the rights
of inheritance and
redemption
are yours. Buy it for yourself. Then I understood that this was the word of Jesus (the Lord).
9 I bought the field which was in Anathoth of Hanamel my cousin.
I weighed him the money: seventeen shekels of silver
.
10 I signed the scripture and sealed it. I called witnesses and weighed him the money in the balances.
11 I took the scripture of the purchase: the sealed one, according to the law and customs, and the opened one.
12 I delivered the scripture of the purchase to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel, my cousin, and before the witnesses who signed the scripture of the purchase, before all the jews who were sat in the courtesy of the guard.
13 Before them I ordered Baruch, saying:
14
Thus says Jesus of Hosts, the God of Israel: Take these scriptures, this scripture of the purchase, the sealed one and the opened one, and put them in a body of clay, for that they can be conserved.
15 Thus says Jesus of Hosts, the God of Israel: Houses, fields and vineyards will yet again be bought in this land. (Jeremiah, XXXII, 6-15).
12 I said to them: If you think well, give me my salary; but if not, don't give.
So they weighed thirty silver coins for my salary
.
13 Then Jesus said to me: Cast it to the ceramist, the goodly price that I was priced by them.
I took the thirty silver coins and cast them to the ceramist, in the House of Jesus.
14 Then I divided my other rod, called Union, in order to break the friendship between Judah and Israel.
15 Jesus said to me:
Take to you yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd
.
16
Because lo I will create a shepherd in the land, who won't visit those who are sick, neither will seek those who are scattered, nor heal that who is hurt, nor feed that who is healthy; but he will eat the flesh of the fat sheep. He will pull their nails away.
17
Ouch! of the unworthy shepherd
who leaves the flock!
The sword will be on his arm
and on his right eye. His arm will be clean dried up and his right eye will be absolutely darkened. (Zechariah, XI, 12-17).
12
The mercenary, who is not a shepherd
, who does not own the sheep, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and escapes, then the wolf carries them, and disperses them.
13
The mercenary escapes because he is mercenary
, and he doesn't care about the sheep.
14
I AM
the good shepherd
; and I know my sheep, and they know me,
15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and
I give my life for the sheep
. (John, X, 12-15).
172.
172. Judas is the arcanum 12 of the Tarot: The Hanged Man. He tied a rope to the foot, lassoed the branch of the tree and pulled. After he loosened the rope and fell from great height dividing himself in the middle. Judas repented himself. He had already lain his Life: Jesus, to the world. Now Judas gave his own life to ransom his sin. The words of Jesus fell over him again: “Sheathe your sword again. Cause all they who take the sword will perish across the sword.” (Matthew, XXVI, 52). However, Jesus had ordered to Judas that he delivered his Life to the world (chapter LXXXVI – The Saint Supper). Jesus is the good Shepherd. He gives His Life for His little sheeps and none of them will be lost. Jesus had already written that Judas had paid the price of his redemption. And what did Jesus make? Soon he resurrected, He climb down to the deepest of the Hades, in the abyss, to where the suicides go (chapter CIII). He went to where Abraham and Lazarus (chapter XLIX) couldn't go. Jesus saved his little obedient sheep who was scattered. “The chat, this is the great needle who excites the soul, across the bitterness, to divide over herself, and to go back to the beach of the Saviour. The end (goal) of the chat is other than the rehabilitation, the freedom. Wanting that the chat be eternal, for a fault who isn't eternal, this is nullifying to him all reason of being.” (Paul apostle, 1009 of SB). Judas Iscariot in the book “Jeanne DÆArc” of Léon Denis will give many proofs of his might. He will use the sword without killing anyone and he will be burned in the fire of the hell inflamed by the Catholic Church. Once more he will drink the calyx of the bitterness (chapter LXXXIX) which Peter denied three times. Oh! Sinner!
Aid you
to yourself and the heaven will aid you! – Word of Jesus. “These who can support the loss of persons who are their beloved, killing themselves inside the hope of walking to rejoin to them, do they reach their end (goal)? The result for them is all other than that which they hope, and instead of being rejoined to the object of their affection, they eloin themselves from them for longer time, cause God can reward an act of cowardice, and the insult which is done in doubting of His Providence. They will pay this instant of revelry across greater humiliations than these which they believe decrease and they won't gold the satisfaction which they hope for compensating them.” (956 of SB). “What to think of that who leaves himself from Life inside the hope of reaching sooner to the
A
melier Life? Other revelry! That he makes the well and he will be more sure of reaching there, cause he will retard his entrance inside an
A
melier world, and he will demand himself to come
to finish this Life
who he has locked for a false idea. A fault, that who she be, does work never the temple of the elects by God.” (950 of SB). “Which are, in general, the consequents of the suicide over the state of the Spirit? The consequents of the suicide are three diverses. He doesn't have fixed pens there, and inside all the cases they are always relatives to the causes which they have brought; but a consequence to which the suicide can't escape this is the
disappointment
. Finally, the sort isn't the same for all. He depends on the circumstants; anyone expiates their fault immediately, the others inside in a novella existence, which will be worst than that whose curse they have interrupted.” (957 of SB). The Spirit disappoints himself because, being materialist, he thought that there wasn't Life after the death of the body and because his moral sufferings are increased, instead of disappearing with his Life. “Which are the greater sufferings which the mean Spirits can harden? He doesn't have there the possible description of the moral tortures which are the punishment of certain crimes. That same there who proves them would gold in giving an idea of the pain (pen) to you; but, surely the most frightful is the thought that he has to be condemned without return.” (973 of SB). “Over what is based the duration (hardness) of the sufferings of the able of coup? Over the time necessary to his
A
melioration. The state of sufferance and of welfare being proportioned to the degree of purification of the Spirit, the duration (hardness) and the Nature of his sufferings depend on the time which he puts to
A
meliorate himself. At the bow that he progresses and his feelings purify themselves, his sufferings decrease and change of Nature.” (Saint Louis, 1004 of SB). “For the suffering Spirit, does the time seem so long or less long as if he was alive? He seems before longer: the sleep doesn't exist for him.” (1005 of SB). "The suffering desembodied Spirit doesn't have the second death to the superior degree, therefore he doesn't sleep." (the author and Mary from Nazareth). “The Spirit suffers all the evil he has done or whose voluntary cause he has summer of all the well
he will gold pure to do
and which he hasn't done
and of all the evil which results from the well he hasn't done
.” (975 of SB – chapter LXXXII). “These observations still prove that the affinities who, in the mental house of certain individuals, persist between the soul and the body, is three painful, cause the Spirit can prove the horror of the rottenness. This case is exceptional and particular to certain genres (son-in-law) of Life and to certain genres of Death. He presents himself in the house of any suicides.” (Allan Kardec, 155, I, of SB). “What must do that who, in the moment of the death, recognizes his faults, but he doesn't have time to fix them? Is repenting oneself enough inside this case? The regretting hastens his rehabilitation, but he doesn't absolve him. Doesn't he have you before him the Future, who is never closed to him?” (1002 of SB). “The sincere repenting pendent the Life, is it enough for eclipsing the faults, and to make him meet the Grace before God? The regretting
aids
to the
A
melioration of the Spirit, but the past (pass) must be expiated.” (999 of SB). “The expiation accomplishes herself pendent the corporal existence across the trials whose Spirit is submissive, and inside the spiritual Life across the moral sufferings attached to the state of inferiority of Spirit.” (998 of SB). “Weep, hope, expiate and seek-you refuge in the thought of a God intimately good, absolutely mighty, scently just.” (Plato, 1009 of SB). "The Catholic Church burned Judas Iscariot (Jeanne D'Arc) in England and The Book of the Spirits in Barcelona in Spain. Now according to the orders of Jesus to the Pope, representative of Peter in the earth, the Catholic Church will publish this Spiritist Gospel. Ouch! of that who try to resist to the orders of God." (Mary from Nazareth, Mother of God and of the Church).
XCIV – Jesus in face of Herod
1 The whole company of them stood up and brought him before Pilate.
2 And there they began to accuse him, saying: We met this man perverting our nation:
forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar
and
saying that he himself is
the Christ,
the King
.
3 Then Pilate asked him: Are you the King of the Jews? Jesus answered: You said.
4 Pilate said to the main priests and to the multitudes. I meet no fault in this man.
5 But they insisted more and more: He agitates the people, teaching across all Judaea, from Galilee even until here.
6 When Pilate heard this, he asked if that man was a galilaean.
7 When he knew that he was of the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he became extremely gay, cause he desired to see Jesus a long time ago. He had heard concerning him and he hoped that he would make some signal for him.
9 He questioned him in many words, but Jesus answered nothing to him.
10 The main priests and the scribes were accusing him there vehemently.
11 But Herod and his soldiers despised and mocked him.
They adorned him in a spectacular royal clothing
and sent him back to Pilate.
12 Herod and Pilate became friends between them that very day. Cause they were enemies one against the other. (Luke, XXIII, 1-12).
173. The accusation of the pharisees was false. Jesus was seed (descendent) of the king David for part of Joseph and also of Mary (chapter LXXIX). So, Jesus didn't pay the tribute because he was King of the Judea (chapter LXXII). Jesus never prohibited anyone of paying the tribute. Peter said this to the herodians: servants of Herod. Herod considered Jesus guilty such as his father, the murderer of babes (chapter IX). Herod dressed Him with royal dresses and sent Him to Pilate.

XCV – Jesus in face of Pilate
11 Now Jesus was standing up before the governor. The governor questioned him: Are you the King of the Jews? Jesus answered: You said.
12 When he was accused by the main priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Then Pilate said to him: Don't you hear how many accusations they witness against you?
14 He answered not even one word. Such the governor admired him longly.
15 Now, at the feast of the Passover,
the governor was used to loose a prisoner to the people
, according to their election.
16 In that occasion they had a famed (starving) prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Therefore when the people were rejoined, Pilate asked them: Who will you want that I loose for you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?
18 Cause he knew they had delivered him for envy.
19 While he was sat on the judgment, his wife ordered to say to him:
Do nothing to this just man; because I suffered many things in a dream today because of him
.
20 But the main priests and the elders persuaded the people to ask for Barabbas and to make Jesus die.
21 Again the governor asked: Which between these two will you want that I loose for you? They answered: Barabbas!
22 Pilate replied them: Then what will I do to Jesus who is called Christ? They all answered: Let him be crucified!
23 Pilate asked: Why? What evil has he done? But they cried very aloud more and more: Let him be crucified!
24 So when Pilate saw that he persuaded nothing, but he increased the tumult,
he took water and washed his hands
(chapterXLIV) before the people, saying:
I am innocent of the blood of this just man. You see this
.
25 And all the people answered:
His blood spills over us and over our children!
(chapter LXXX).
26 Then he loosed Barabbas to them. But Jesus was whipped and delivered to be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus to the Praetorium and rejoined all the brass band of praetor judges.
28 They undressed him and clothed the
spectacular royal toga
on him.
29 They weaved a thorny crown of roses (rosary) and crowned his head. They put a reed (scepter) in his right hand. They kneed before him and mocked him: Save! King of the Jews!
30 They spat on him, took the reed and smacked it on his head.
31 After mocking him, they took the toga from him and dressed him on him his own clothes. Then they conducted him to be crucified. (Matthew, XXVII, 11-31).
1 Straightway in the morning the main priests, the elders, the scribes and the whole council counseled themselves, tied Jesus'hands and brought him to deliver to Pilate.
2 Pilate questioned him: Are you the King of the Jews? Jesus answered: You said.
3 Then the main priests accused him of many things.
4 Pilate asked him again: Don't you answer anything? Lo how many accusations they do against you!
5 But Jesus answered no more. Such that Pilate regarded him.
6 Now at the feast of the Passover he used to loose one prisoner to them, whom they asked to him.
7 There was one, called Barabbas, arrested with them who had made a rebellion
against the resurrection
. They had committed murder in a tumult.
8 The multitude came and began to ask him to do as he was used to do to them.
9 Pilate answered them: Will you want that I loose the King of the Jews for you?
10 Cause he perceived that the main priests had delivered him for envy.
11 But the main priests stimulated the multitude to loose Barabbas to them.
12 But Pilate asked again: Then what will I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?
13 They cried again: Crucify him!
14 But Pilate said to them: Why? What evil has he done? But they cried each more and more: Crucify him!
15 Then Pilate, wanting to content the multitude, loosed Barabbas to them and delivered Jesus to be crucified after whipping him.
16 Then the soldiers took him to the Praetorium inside the Tribunal and they rejoined the whole brass band of praetor judges.
17 They clothed the
spectacular royal toga
on him. They weaved a thorny crown of roses (rosary) and crowned him.
18 They saluted him: Save! King of the Jews!
19 They smacked his head with a reed, spat on him and bowing their knees, they worshipped him.
20 After mocking him, they undressed the
spectacular royal toga
of him and dressed on him his own clothing. So they conducted him to be crucified. (Mark, XV, 1-20).
13 Then Pilate rejoined the main priests, the authorities and the people.
14 He said: You brought this man to me as perveter of the people. Lo I examined him before you, but I found no fault in this man according to the things, which you accuse him.
15 Nor even Herod, cause he sent him back to us. Thus nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 Therefore I will whip and loose him.
17 He needed to loose one prisoner to them at every feast of the Passover.
18 But the multitude cried: Away with this man! Loose Barabbas to us!
19 One who made a rebellion against the resurrection in the city and having killed one, was cast in prison.
20 Pilate spoke to them again, desiring to loose Jesus.
21 But they shouted: Crucify him! Crucify him!
22 Then he said to them the third time: Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no cause of death against him. Therefore I will whip him and loose him.
23 But they cried more and more aloud, asking that he would be crucified. Their shouts prevailed.
24 Then Pilate gave sentence that what they asked would be done.
25 He loosed that who was arrested for being against resurrection and for murder, whom they asked for. But Jesus was delivered to their volition. (Luke, XXIII, 13-25).
28 After they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early in the morning. They themselves didn't enter in the Praetorium,
for not to be spotted
, so that they could eat the Passover.
29 Then Pilate went out to talk to them, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man?
30 They answered: If this man were not an evil-doer, we wouldn't have delivered him to you.
31 So Pilate replied to them: Take him yourselves. Judge him according to your law. The jews answered to him: Our law prohibits us of killing whoever.
32 For that the word of Jesus would be fulfilled, meaning the way of dying he would die.
33 Pilate entered again in the Praetorium, called Jesus and asked him: Are you the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered: Did you ask this by yourself, or did others tell it to you concerning me?
35 Pilate replied: Am I a jew? Your own nation and the main priests delivered you to me. What have you done?
36 Jesus answered:
My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom was of this world, then my servants would fight, for that I wouldn't be delivered to the jews. But now my kingdom isn't from here
.
37 Then Pilate said to him: So are you king? Jesus answered: You said that
I AM
a king. I have been born for this.
I AM
come to the world for this end: to witness the Truth. Every one who is of the Truth hears my voice
.
38 Pilate asked him:
What is the Truth? (chapter LXXII)
After saying this, he went out again to the jews, and said to them: I find no crime in him.
39 You have a custom, that I loose one for you at the Passover. Will you want that I loose the King of the Jews for you?
40 Then they all cried again: Not this man, but Barabbas! Now Barabbas was
a thief
.
1 Thus Pilate took Jesus and ordered to whip him.
2 The soldiers weaved a thorny crown of roses (rosary) and crowned his head. They clothed a
spectacular royal toga
on him.
3 They came to him and said: Save! King of the Jews! And they slapped him.
4 Again Pilate went out and said to them: Lo I bring him out to you, for that you know that I find no crime in him.
5 So Jesus came out,
using the thorny crown of roses
(
rosary
) and the
spectacular royal toga
. Pilate said to them:
Lo the man!
6 When the main priests and their guards saw him, they cried: Crucify him! Crucify him! Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves and crucify him, because I find no crime in him.
7 The jews answered:
We have a law. According to the law, he must die, because he made himself the Son of God
.
8 When Pilate heard this, he became more afraid.
9 He entered in the Praetorium again and said to Jesus: Where are you from? But Jesus gave no answer to him.
10 So Pilate diverted him: Don't you answer me? Don't you know that I have power to loose you and to crucify you?
11 Jesus answered:
You would have no power against me, if your power wasn't given to you from above you
. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.
12 From now on Pilate searched to loose him, but the jews shouted: If you looses this man, you aren't Caesar's friend! Every one who makes himself a king is against Caesar!
13 When
Pilate
heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and
sat down on the judgment
at a place called The Pavement, but in hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Now it was the Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the jews:
Lo your King here!
15 But they shouted: Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate said to them: Will I crucify your King? The main priests answered: We have no king, but Caesar!
16 Then Pilate delivered him to them to be crucified. (John, XVIII, 28 to XIX, 16).
1 Listen to me, islands! Hear peoples from far! Jesus (the Lord) has called me from the uterus; from the entrails of my mother he has mentioned my name.
2 He has made my mouth as a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished arrow. He guarded me in his quiver.
3 He said to me: You are my servant: Israel, in whom I will be glorified. (Isaiah, XLIX, 1-3).
13 Lo, my servant will act judiciously, he will be exalted and elevated and he will be very high.
14 As many were surprised before you (his face was so more disfigured than any man, but his form was more than the
sons of men
).
15 So he will rain many nations. Kings will shut their mouths before him. Because that which hadn't been told to them, they will see. And that which they hadn't heard, they will understand.
1 Who has believed in our message? To whom has the arm of Jesus been revealed? (Isaiah, LII, 13 to LIII, 1).
4 Surely he has suffered our pains. He carried our repentances. We yet esteemed him hurt, smacked by God and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded by our transgressions. He was bruised by our inequalities. The whiplash of our peace was on him. We were healed by his wales.
6 We were all like lost sheeps. We were diverting by own way. But Jesus has lain on him the inequalities of us all.
7 He was oppressed. Yet when he was afflicted, he didn't open his mouth. As a lamb who is conducted to the butcher. As a dumb sheep who is before her shears, he didn't open his mouth.
8 He was taken by oppression and judgment. Who among his generation has considered that he was cut out of the earth of the living by the transgression of my people to whom the struck was due?
9 They made his grave with the wicked, but he was with a rich man in his death. Although he had done no violence, neither there was any deceit in his mouth. (Isaiah, LIII, 4-9).
11 He will see the work of his soul and he will be satisfied. My just servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself. He will suffer their inequalities.
12 Therefore I will divide him in parts to the great ones, and he will divide the spoil with the strong ones, because he spilled his soul to the death, and he was numbered with the transgressors; yet he showed the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors. (Isaiah, LIII, 11-12).
174. In that day there weren't good citizens to watch the judgement of Pilate, proctor of Caesar. It was eve of the Passover and the good jews who esteemed Jesus and attended the temple weren't there. Because they considered that place impure, such as flesh of pig. Neither the pharisees entered in the place. They shouted orders from far. The multitude who was there was constituted of murderers, thieves, atheists, pariahs, the worst criminals of that time. It was thus for that the prophecy of Jesus would be realized. Herod had investigated the genealogy of Jesus and confirmed that He was King of the Jews (chapter LXXIX). Therefore, Herod dressed Him as a King. Herod was King of the Galilee (chapter LXXIX) and dressed Him in his clothes of the color of the blue blood (arterial blood, oxygenated blood) of Jesus. The proper roman senator Publius Lentulus (chapter XVIII, item 47) weaved the perfumed crown of roses, crowned-Him and worshipped Him in spite of the jealousies of his wife Livia (Mary from Bethany – chapters XXIX, LXII and LXIII – Hagar). Publius Lentulus (Emmanuel – Abraham), such as Judas Iscariot (chapter XC), yet asked selfishnessly that He saved him. The wife of Pilate was informed in the sleep that Jesus was a just and she defended Him. Pilate considered Him innocent because although He was dressed of King before the people, He didn't profit the situation to revindicate His reign. To Pilate the accusation of that Jesus was son of God or God was inappropriate. Pilate became afraid of that people so ignorant that didn't accept any god. Pilate considered himself a god. Cause the roman considered themselves gods and they worshipped the gods (Spirits) of their dead relatives and of great men. The own Caesar was considered an alive god. Jesus was condemned by the counselors because He was God. The answer of Jesus about the power of Pilate was correct for Pilate. Pilate was procurator (attorney) of Caesar and his power depended on his mandate. That people preferred Barabbas because they were a people so ignorant as Barabbas. When the jews accused Jesus of being against Caesar for declaring Himself King, they also accused Pilate who sat down on the royal chair of the judgement, cause Pilate exercised the charge of King of the Judea. Jesus was jew and roman and innocent before both the laws. Finally afraid of a rebellion of that criminal people, Pilate delivered Jesus to be crucified. Who can arrest the Spirit? Jesus was there because it was the wish of the heavenly Father: “Your kingdom comes. Your will is done, as in earth, so on heaven.” (Matthew, VI, 10). The Kingdom of Jesus is the Kingdom of God. He is the Truth, the Spirit of Truth (chapter LXXXVII). “Cause yours is the kingdom, the might and the glory forever. Love!” (Matthew, VI, 13). Everything, which happened to Jesus, was prophesied by Isaiah.
XCVI – The crucifixion
1
Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?
This means: My God, my God, why did you leave me? Why am I so far from the salvation? Why are you so far from the words of my weep?
2
My God, I shout in the daylight, but you don't answer me. And I am not silent tonight.
3 But
you are Holy
, you inhabits the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted and you saved them.
5 They mourned to you and they were saved. They trusted in you and they weren't humiliated.
6
But I am a worm, not a man. I am reprehended by the men. I am despised by the people
.
7
All they who see me mock of me. They show their tongue. They deny through the head.
(+)
8
Trust in Jesus! Let Him deliver him! Let Him save him, cause he has pleasure in Him.
(#)
9 However
you are he who took me out of the uterus. You made me trust when I was on the breasts of my mother
.
10 I
was cast to you from the uterus. You are my God since my mother conceived me.
11 Don't be far from me. Cause my trouble is near. There is none to
aid
me.
12 Many bulls surround me. Strong bulls from Bashan pursue me.
13 They drool their mouths against me. As the starving lion roaring.
14 I pissed myself.
All my bones dreaded of fear. (+)
My heart is like wax, it melted inside me.
15 My vigor dried itself as a potsherd. My tongue glues in the roof of the mouth. You have brought me to the dust of death.
16
Dogs surround me. A band of evil-doers fences me. They crossed my hands and my feet.
(*)
17
I can count all my bones.
They are looking to me and confronting me.
18 They
divided my clothes among them. They gambled my coat.
(+)
19 But don't be far from me, Jesus. You, my aid. Haste yourself in aiding me.
20 Save my soul from the sword. My Life from the teeth of the dog.
21 Save me from the mouth of the lion. Yes, from the horns of the wild herbivores, you have answered me.
22 I will declare your name to my brothers. I will praise you in the middle of the assembly.
23 You who fear Jesus, praise Him. All you the seed (descendents) of Jacob. Glorify Him and worship Him all you the seed of Israel.
24 Cause he hasn't despised nor hated the pain of the afflicted. Neither He has hidden His face from him. But when he shouted to Him, He heard.
25 My praise in the great assembly comes from you. I will pay my pains before them who fear Him.
26 The tame will eat and be satisfied. They who seek after Him will praise Jesus. Let your heart live for ever.
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and proselyte themselves to Jesus. All the families of the nations will worship before you.
28
Cause the kingdom is Jesus. He governs the nations.
29 All the fat ones of the earth will eat and worship. All they who go down to the dust will bow before Him. Even he who can't keep his own Life.
30 The seed will serve Him. They will tell about Jesus to the next generation.
31
They will come to declare His justice. They will tell to the people who will be born, what He has done.
(Psalm XXII, 1-31).
32
When they came out, they met a man from Cyrene (Africa), called Simon. They forced him to go with them in order to carry the cross.
33 They came to a place called Golgotha, which means: The Place of the Cranium.
34 They gave wine to him to drink blended with gall (taste of soap). After proving it, he didn't want to drink.
35 After they had crucified him (*),
they divided his clothes among them, making gamble.
(+)
36 They sat down and watched him there.
37 They put his accusation written above his head: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. (chapter XCIV).
38 Two robbers were crucified with him: One at the right hand and other at the left hand. (chapter LVIII and LXXXIV).
39 They who passed complained against him,
denying through their heads
. (+)
40 They said:
You who destroy the temple and build it again in three days!
Save yourself, if you are the Son of God. And come down from the cross! (chapter LXXXII).
41 Likewise also the main priests with the scribes and elders mocked of him:
42
He saved others, but he can't save himself
(#). He is the King of Israel! Let him come down from the cross now and we will believe in him.
43
He trusted in God! Let Him deliver him now. If he has pleasure in Him
(#). Cause he said:
I AM
the Son of God.
44 And the robbers who were also crucified with him cast the same reprobations on him.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was
darkness over all the earth
until the ninth hour.
46 About the ninth hour Jesus shouted aloud:
Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?
This means: My God, my God, why did you leave me? (Psalm XXII, 1).
47 And some of them who were there, when they heard this, said: This man calls Elijah.
48 Straightway one of them ran, took a sponge, filled it in vinegar, put it
on his reed (scepter – chapter XCV)
and gave him to drink.
49 The others said: Leave him. Let us see if Elijah comes to save him. (chapter LXXIX).
50 And Jesus shouted again aloud and
delivered his Spirit
. (#)
51 Lo the veil (curtain) of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
The earth dreaded. (+)
The stones were torn.
52 The tombs were opened. Many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep appeared.
53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus' resurrection. They entered in the holy city and appeared to many.
54 When the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus saw the earthquake and the things which were passing, they
feared extremely (+)
and said: Truly this was the Son of God.
55 Many women were there observing from far, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him.
56 Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James and John (the wife of Zebedee – chapter LVIII), were among them. (Matthew, XXVII, 32-56).
9 I went to the angel to say him to give me the little book. Than he told me: Take it and devour it. Surely it will be bitter in your stomach, but it will be sweet as honey in your mouth.
10 I took the little book from the hand of the angel and devoured it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth. However, my stomach became bitter after eating it. (Revelation, X, 9-10).
21
They obliged Simon from Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was passing, coming from the field, to go with them, to carry his cross.
22 They brought him to the Golgotha, which means: The place of the Cranium.
23
Beforehand they offered wine mixed with myrrh (scent) to him. But he didn't take it.
24 Then they crucified him.
They divided his clothes among them. They raffled them to know what each one would take.
(+)
25 It was the third hour when they crucified him.
26 In the top of the cross his accusation was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 They crucified two robbers with him: One at his right hand and other at his left hand.
28 And the scripture was fulfilled:
He was numbered with the transgressors.
(Isaiah, LIII, 12 – chapter XCV).
29 They who were passing complained against him, denying through their heads, and saying: Ah! You who destroys the temple and builds it again in three days!
30 Save
yourself
and come down from the cross!
31 Likewise the main priests with the scribes also
mocked
of him among themselves:
He saved others, but he can't save himself.
32 Come down now from the cross Christ, the King of Israel, for that we see and believe. They who were crucified with him also reproached him.
33 When the sixth hour came, there was
darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour.
34 At the ninth hour Jesus shouted aloud:
Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?
Which means: My God, my God, why did you leave me?
35 Some of them who were there, when they heard this, they said: Lo he calls Elijah!
36 And one ran, filled a sponge in vinegar, put it on
his reed (scepter – chapter XCV
), gave him to drink, saying: Leave him. Let us see if Elijah comes to take him down.
37 But Jesus shouted aloud and gave the ghost.
38 And the veil (curtain) of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
39 When the centurion, who was before him, saw that thus he gave the ghost, he said: Truly this man was the Son of God.
40 Some women were also there observing from far: Mary Magdalene, Mary (chapter LVIII), the mother of both James, the minor, and of John, and Salome (chapter LXXIX) among them.
41 Who, when Jesus was in Galilee, they followed him, ministering to him. And many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem. (Mark, XV, 21-41).
26
When they conducted him, they lay their hands on one Simon Cyrenaic, who was coming from the field, they lay the cross on him, to carry it after Jesus.
27 A great multitude of the people followed him there with women
who touched the right breast and lamented him.
[]
28 But Jesus turned to them and said:
Daughters from Jerusalem, don't weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children!
[]
29 Because the days are coming when they will say:
Well-beatified are the sterile, whose uterus never conceived, whose breasts never suckled
. []
30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains: Fall over us! And to the hills: Cover us!
31
Cause if they do these things to the green tree, what won't they do to the dry firewood?
32 And there were also two others, malefactors, conducted with him to be put to die.
33 When they came to the place which is called The Cranium, there they crucified him and the evil-doers: One at his right hand and the other at his left hand.
34 However Jesus said:
Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they do
.
Then they divided his clothes among them, they cast their probabilities to the hazard
. (+)
35 The people who was there observed everything. And the authorities also mocked of him saying:
He saved the others. Leave him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his chosen.
(#)
36 Likewise the soldiers also mocked him and coming to him, they offered vinegar to him
37 saying: If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.
38 There was also an inscription above him: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 One of the crucified evil-doers complained against him: Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us.
40 But the other answered, reprehending him:
Don't you even fear God, being under the same condemnation?
41
We indeed according to the justice, because we receive the due reward for our acts. But this man has done nothing wrong.
42
He said: Jesus, remember me
when you will come in your kingdom.
43 He said to him:
Truly I say to you: Today you will be with me in the Paradise.
44 It was now almost the sixth hour. The sun darkened the whole earth until the ninth hour.
45 And the veil (curtain) of the temple was torn in the middle.
46 Then Jesus shouted aloud:
Father, I recommend my Spirit to your hands!
And having said this, he delivered the ghost.
47 When the centurion saw what had happened,
he glorified God
, saying: Truly this man was just.
48 And all the multitudes who rejoined to this sight, when they saw what succeeded, returned smacking their breasts. (Luke, XXIII, 26-48).
17 Therefore they took Jesus. He went out, suffering the cross himself to the place called The Place of the Cranium, which is called in hebrew: Golgotha.
18 Where they crucified him with two others: One at each side and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the top of the cross. It was written: JESUS FROM NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Many of the jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city. It was written in hebrew, in latin, and in greek.
21 The main priests said to Pilate: Don't write: The King of the Jews, but that he said:
I AM
the King of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered: What I wrote is written.
23 Therefore the soldiers, after they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes and made four parts, to each soldier a part; and also the coat.
But the coat was without sewing, woven from the top to the bottom.
(+)
24 They said one to others: Let us not tear it, but cast our luck in the hazard, whose will it be? For that the scripture would be fulfilled, which says:
They divided my clothes among them. They gambled my clothes.
(+)
25 However his mother; his mother's sister; Mary, the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene were there attached to the cross of Jesus.
26 When Jesus saw his mother and the loved disciple (chapter LXXXVII, 160), he said to his mother:
Woman, lo your son!
27 Then he said to the disciple:
Lo your mother!
From that hour on the disciple took her to his own home.
28 After, Jesus knew that all things were finished. In order to accomplish the scripture, he said:
I AM
thirsty.
29 There was a vase full of vinegar. They put a sponge full of the vinegar on
his reed (scepter – chapter XCV
) of hyssop (medicinal plant) and brought it to his mouth.
30 Therefore when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said: It is consumed! He bowed his head and delivered his Spirit.
31 So the jews, because it was the eve of the Passover, for that the bodies wouldn't remain on the cross on the saturday (cause that day of the saturday was a great day),
asked to Pilate for that their legs would be broken
and they would be taken out.
32 The soldiers went and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him.
33
But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he had already been dead, then they didn't break his legs
.
34 However one of the soldiers crossed his side and straightway blood and water came out.
35 He who has seen has suffered the witness. And his witness is true. And he knows that he says the Truth, for that you also believe.
36 These things came to pass to fulfill the scripture:
None of his bones will be broken.
37 And again another scripture says:
They will look at him whom they crossed.
(John, XIX, 17-37).
46 The lamb of the Passover will be eaten in one house. You won't carry any of the flesh out of the house;
neither you will break a bone
. (Exodus, XII, 46).
10 I will spill the spirit of grace and of supplication over the house of David. And over the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
They will look at me to whom they have crossed.
They will weep for him, as one mourns for his only son. They will be in bitterness for him, as one who is in bitterness for his first-born. (Zechariah, XII, 10).
175. The african man who carried the light wood of the cross is my nephew William. The Spirit of Jesus was ready. In the way to the Golgotha Jesus consoled those women (trees) who lamented His death. When he arrived there, his father Abraham ("angel" Gabriel – Publius Lentulus – Emmanuel – Cain) offered wine perfumed with myrrh to calm Him against the pains of the crucifixion. In the third hour after the aurora, Jesus was crucified. The robbers drank the wine. Publius said to one that it was wine with gall and to the others that it was vinegar to deceive them. The wine of the father was sweet as honey, but bitter as acid. The reed of medicinal hyssop was a signal of the father for that Jesus would take the wine. But Jesus asked to the father to pass the calyx of wine far from Him (chapter LXXXIX). Jesus wanted to give the example of how a man must die. Jesus asked to the father Abraham to forgive the roman soldiers, which took the clothes of Jesus in spite of His mother be there. In the sixth hour, Adam, the first man come from Chapel (Crypton), the first-born of the creation, a very ancient Spirit (Genesis, II – my loved friend Cláudia Marques de Oliveira) recognized that we must fear God and accepted his faults. Jesus said that He would take him back to the Paradise and recommended him to the father. Immediately the earth darkened. In the ninth hour the light of the world, the sun, came back and Jesus shouted the psalm XXII and his father offered to Him again the sedative reed. But Jesus at the second time refused the calyx of wine. The mother of John evangelist (chapter LVIII) was there. She had asked for that her sons would sit down at the right hand and at the left hand of Jesus (chapter LXXXIV). But the heaven and the hell were destined to the mighty Spirits of those robbers who were crucified with Him. Jesus punished that mother delivering John evangelist to the cares of Mary the Holiest. Jesus asked the calyx of the bitternesses to the father Abraham and at this third time, Jesus drank it to deliver the Spirit immediately, when the sedative of the alcohol with its sicknesses wouldn't have more effect. Jesus had said that he only would turn to drink the juice of the grape in the kingdom of His father (chapter LXXXVII). “Jesus Christ, existing in form of God, he didn't make of being equal to God a usurpation, but he emptied his selfishness, taking the form of a servant, becoming alike to the men. Being met with human image, he bemeaned himself, being obedient even to death and the death of the cross. Because of this God exalted him to the highest degree and gave to him the name, which is above every name. Thus every knee bend before the name of Jesus, in heaven, on earth and under the earth. And every tongue proclaims: Jesus Christ is the Lord in the glory of God the Father.” (Letter of Paul to the Philippians, II, 6-11). “The end (goal) of the creation, which consists in the comparative cultivation of the beauty, of the well, idealized by the human pattern, by the Man-God, by Jesus-Christ.” (Paul apostle, 1009 of SB). Jesus is Son of the Man and Son of God. Jesus is pure Spirit and He has the fluidic body. “Having attained the sum of perfection whose creature is sensitive, they have more to suffer neither proofs, nor expiations.
Neither being more subject to the reincarnation inside perishable (rotting) bodies
, they accomplish the eternal Life for them in the bosom of God.
They enjoy a welfare (orgasm) unalterable
, because
they are subject neither to the necessities nor to the changes of the material Life
; but this welfare isn't that of a
monotonous idleness passed in a perpetual contemplation
. They are the messengers and the ministers of God, whose orders they execute for the maintenance of the universal harmony. They command to all the Spirits who are their inferiors, they aid them to perfect themselves and they signal their mission for them. Assisting the men inside their nonsenses, exciting them to the well or to the expiation of the faults who eloin them from the
supreme happiness
is a sweet occupation for them. We design them sometimes under the names of angels, archangels or seraphim.” (113 of SB). “But for the soul who has already been elevated, the thoughts in the proofs which remain to suffer has nothing of painful.” (979 of SB). “Until that this reaches the state of perfect purity, has the Spirit proofs to suffer constantly? Yes, but they aren't such as you understand; you call proof the material adversities;
gold, the Spirit, reached to a certain degree, without being perfect, in having more to suffer;
but
he has always the duties which aid him to perfect himself
, and he has nothing of painful for him, log-this who of helping the others to perfect themselves.” (268 of SB). “At each novella existence, the Spirit made a step inside the way of the progress; when he is skinned himself of all his impurities,
he doesn't have more necessity of the trials of the corporal Life
.” (168 of SB). “Because God has done to you the intelligence and the science, if this is to communicate to your brothers, for advancing them inside
the way of the welfare and of the eternal happiness
.” (Saint Louis, Saint Augustine, 495 of SB). “They have more the adversities of the corporal existence. This has already been an orgasm; and after, as we have said, they know and know how all the things; they put to profit the intelligence coup they have acquired for aiding to the progresses of the other Spirits. This is their occupation and an orgasm at the same time.” (969 of SB). "
They prove neither the necessities, nor the sufferings, nor the anguishes of the material Life;
they are happy of the well they do; in spite of the welfare of the Spirits is always proportionated to their elevation.
The pure Spirits enjoy lonely, He is true, of the supreme welfare (orgasm)
, but all the others aren't unhappy among the mean ones and the perfect ones, there is an infinity of degrees where the orgasms are relative to the moral state.” (967 of SB). Simon from Cyrene carried the cross for Jesus. God took this providence because Jesus, being immaterial, having fluidic body, couldn't carry the light material cross in which He would be crucified. “But this is evident that could be another way. God doesn't deliver himself to a direct action over the matter.” (536, II, of SB). Everything which Jesus carried in His life on earth was fluidic.
XCVII – The guard of the sepulcher
57 When the evening was finishing, Joseph, a rich man from Arimathaea, who himself was also disciple of Jesus, came.
58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded to give him to him.
59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped him in a clean linen cloth.
60 And he lay him in his own new tomb, which he had sculptured in the rock. He rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away.
61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary (
Mary from Bethany, the sister of Lazarus
– chapters XXIX, LXII and LXIII) were there, sat down before the tomb.
62
In the next day
, which is the day after the eve (
the Saturday of the Passover
), the main priests and the pharisees were rejoined before Pilate and
63 saying: Governor, we remember that the deceiver said while he was yet alive: After three days I will resurrect.
64
Command therefore that the sepulcher be guarded safely until the third day
, for that his disciples don't come and steal him and say to the people: He resurrected from the dead! And the last deceit will be worse than the first.
65 Pilate said to them: You have a guard. Go and watch so sure as you can.
66 So they went and made the sepulcher safe,
sealing
the stone and leaving the guard there
. (Matthew, XXVII, 57-66).
38 After these things Joseph from Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, although secretly, for fear of the jews, asked from Pilate that he allowed him to carry the body of Jesus. Pilate allowed. Then he went and carried his body.
39
And Nicodemus also came, he who firstly came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes (about a hundred pounds – 1 pound = 453,59 grams – chapters X, 15, XLV, 92 and LXIII).
40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped him in linen cloths with the scents, according to the custom of the jews to avoid stinking.
41 In the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where none had been lain.
42 Then there because of the eve of the jews (cause the tomb was near) they lay Jesus. (John, XIX, 38-42).
42 When the evening was finishing, because it was the eve (of the Passover), the day before the saturday,
43 Joseph from Arimathaea came, a counselor of honorable property, who also himself was hoping for the kingdom of God, he went courageously to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
44 But Pilate admired that he had already died. He called the centurion to him and asked him if he had been dead.
45 When he was informed by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 He took him down, wrapped him in a linen cloth, which he had bought and lay him in a tomb which had been excavated in a rock. He rolled a stone before the door of the tomb.
47 Now Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of John, observed where he was lain. (Mark, XV, 42-47).
49
And all his friends and the women who followed him from Galilee, remained from far seeing these things.
50 Lo certain man called Joseph, who was a counselor, a good and just man
51 (who hadn't agreed with the council and his actions), a man from Arimathaea (Samaria), a city of the jews, who was hoping the kingdom of God.
52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 He took him down and wrapped him in a linen cloth. He lay him in a tomb which was excavated in a rock, where none had yet been lain.
54 It was the day of the eve (of the Passover) and
the saturday was beginning.
55
The women, who had come with him from Galilee, following saw the tomb and how his body was lain.
56 They returned and prepared scents and balsams. On the saturday, they rested according to the commandment. (Luke, XXIII, 49-56).
176. In that time the hour was counted according to the position of the sun. The sixth hour was, therefore, midday. Jesus was considered dead a little after the ninth hour. Pilate was still there and Joseph from Arimathaea asked the body of Jesus. Joseph from Arimathae and Nicodemus carried the body of Jesus until the grave of Joseph from Arimathae which was very near there. All the friends of Jesus saw this. The women followed them. Mary from Bethany (chapters XXIX, LXII and LXIII) remembered that Jesus wanted to be perfumed. The two men and some women went to seek perfumes. Nicodemus was the first to come in the beginning of the night of saturday (twelfth hour – the next day began when the night fell) carrying 45,359 kilograms of perfume. The pharisees and the main priests saw Mary from Bethany there and they remembered of the resurrection of Lazarus. Then they asked to Pilate (who didn't keep the saturday) a guard. Pilate gave them the roman soldiers who were there. They took the soldiers to the grave. They waited that the women would perfume Jesus. They closed the tomb and they sealed it through their signs. They left the guard watching and went away to guard the saturday. Mary from Bethany was roman and she was disguised of christian and she couldn't be seen thus by her husband and roman senator Publius.
XCVIII – Jesus vanishes from the grave
1
After the saturday, while the first daylight of the week was beginning (reveille),
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the sepulcher.
2
Lo there was a great earthquake
, because an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, came and rolled away the stone. He sat down on the stone.
3 His appearance was as lightning. His clothing was white as snow.
4
The watchers (roman soldiers) shook of fear of him and became as if they were dead.
5 But the angel said to the women: Don't fear. Because I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
6 He isn't here. He resurrected as he said.
Come to see the place where the Lord lay.
7 Go quickly and tell his disciples: He is resurrected from the dead. Lo he goes before you to Galilee (chapters LXXXVII, 161 and CII). You will see him there. That will be as I tell you!
8 They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great happiness. They ran to take the word to the disciples. (Matthew, XXVIII, 1-8 – witness of Mary from Bethany, the roman).
1
When the saturday had passed
, Mary Magdalene (chapter LXXVIII); Mary, the mother of James (chapter LVIII), and Salome (chapter LXXIX), bought scents to anoint him.
2
And very early on the first day of the week. They came to the tomb when the sun was arising.
3 They were saying among themselves: Who will roll the stone for us out of the door of the tomb?
4 Looking they saw that the stone has already been rolled out. It was extremely big.
5
They entered in the tomb and they saw a young man sat at the right side, dressed in a white toga. They were frightened
.
6 But he said to them: Don't fear. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who was crucified. He resurrected. He is here no more.
Lo the place where they had lain him!
7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter: He goes before you to the Galilee. There you will you see him, as he said to you.
8
They went out, flying from the tomb, because they were shaking and frightened. They said nothing to any one, cause they were afraid.
(Mark, XVI, 1-8 –
witness of Salome
).
1
But on the first day of the week, early in the aurora,
they came to the tomb, bringing the scents which they had prepared.
2 They
found the stone rolled out from the tomb.
3 They entered in,
but they didn't meet the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 It happened that, while they were perplexed about this, lo, two men appeared to them in brilliant clothing.
5 As they were frightened, they bowed down their faces to the earth. They said to them: Why do you seek the living among the dead?
6 He isn't here, but resurrected. Remember how he spoke to you when he was yet in Galilee,
7 saying:
The Son of Man must be delivered to the hands of sinful men. He will be crucified. He will resuscitate in the third day. (chapter LI).
8 Then they remembered his words.
9 They returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10 Now they were Mary Magdalene; Joanna (Joanna de ngelis) and Mary, the mother of James. The other women who were with them also told these things to the apostles.
11 But these words seemed a lie. They didn't believe in them.
12 But Peter stood up and ran to the tomb. He curved himself and looked in. He boiled before the linen cloths. He departed to his home, marveled of what was coming to pass. (Luke, XXIV, 1-12 – witness of the ex-mother of John).
1
On the first day of the week,
Mary Magdalene came to the tomb
early, while it was yet dark
, and saw the stone rolled out from the tomb.
2 Then she ran. She went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved (John – chapter LXXXVII, 160), and said to them: They have taken the Lord out of the tomb and we don't know where they have lain him.
3 So Peter and the other disciple went toward the tomb.
4 They ran both attached, but the other disciple ran more than Peter coming firstly to the tomb.
5 He curved himself and looking in, he saw the lain linen cloths, but he didn't enter in.
6 Then Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered in the tomb. He also saw the lain linen cloths.
7
However the napkin, which was on his head, wasn't with the linen cloths, but left in a place apart.
8 Then the other disciple, who came first to the tomb, also entered in, saw and believed.
9 Cause they hadn't comprehended the scripture yet, according to which he would resurrect from the dead.
10 So the disciples went away again to their own home. (John, XX, 1-10 – witness of John).
177. The friday of the crucifixion (1
st
day), the saturday (2
nd
day) and in the sunday Jesus had already resurrected. The good samaritan (Amelia, the woman of the Truth, Mary Magdalene, the widow of Elijah – chapter LXXVIII) and the other women wanted to renovate the scents of the body of their worshipped Jesus. They would continue their work initiated by Nicodemus and by Joseph from Arimathaea, the good samaritan, who also worshipped his God and who thought His wounds even after His death. Then that tender widow asked how they would do to roll the stone of the tomb of Jesus. But Jesus had already been resurrected. However, the Father Moses was there. That angel who was there was the Father Elijah (the Father Kardec, the Father Polidoro) and he heard the prayers of his beloved widow and rolled that stone. The soldiers frightened themselves and escaped. Elijah went in the tomb and the women followed him. Poor Salome! She recognized John the Baptist! She had ordered to decapitate him, Jesus had saved her of the stoning and John resurrected was there in the tomb of her God. Oh! Jesus! How it is soft the perfume of your punishment. The heart of that young woman danced as never and she escaped repentant. They went to advise the eleven, but only Simon Peter and John evangelist believed. Peter because he remembered the words of Jesus (chapter LI), when Jesus called him of Satan. John evangelist met the napkin, which covered the face of Jesus and the cloths of the body. "What is God, but Caesar?" (Spirit of Jesus). "Veni, vidi, vici!" (Julius Caesar), means: "I came, saw and won.". The catholic shroud is false. Jesus had been crossed in the hands and in the feet which supported His body in the cross. Besides His body is fluidic. The soldier crossed the side of His belly after His death. The friends of Jesus cleaned His body and perfumed Him whole to deliver Him to the Host (chapter LXXVIII). The body of Jesus wasn't bloodied. The Catholic Church preserves only the napkin, which covered the perfumed face of Jesus. The good samaritan wouldn't allow that Jesus would be sepulchered full of blood. Therefore, the linen cloths were perfumed and cleaned.
XCIX – Jesus appears to Mary from Magadan
11 But Mary was at the door of the tomb weeping. So, while she wept, she curved herself and looked in the tomb.
12 She saw two angels in white sat where the body of Jesus had been lain: One at the head and the other at the feet.
13 They said to her: Woman, why do you weep? She said to them: Because they have taken my Lord away and I don't know where they have lain him.
14 After she had said this, she turned herself back and saw Jesus standing up, but she didn't recognize that he was Jesus.
15 Jesus asked her: Woman, why do you weep? To whom do you seek? She, supposing him to be
the gardener
, said to him: Mister, if you have carried him from here, tell me where you have lain him and I will take him away.
16 Jesus said to her: Mary! She turned herself and answered in hebrew: Rabboni (which means: Master)!
17 Jesus said to her:
Don't touch me.
Cause I AM not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them: I will ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.
18 Then Mary Magdalene came and told to the disciples: I have seen the Lord! And told that he have said these things to her. (John, XX, 11-18).
9 Now when he was resurrected early on the first day of the week, he appeared firstly to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
10 She went and told them that had been with him. They were sad and wept.
11 But they, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they didn't believe. (Mark, XVI, 9-11).
9 Lo Jesus met them, saying: Save! They came and hugged his feet and worshipped him.
10 Then Jesus said to them: Don't fear! Go tell my brothers that they depart to Galilee. There they will see me. (Matthew, XXVIII, 9-10).
178. Mary from Magadan, the good samaritan was before Mary the Holiest and John the Baptist. She was the garden and John the Baptist was her God, her gardener who transmigrated with this beautiful flower because he loved her. She judged that her Father was Jesus. Jesus had delivered her of seven dead husbands (seven demons). Jesus explained not to touch Him (He wasn't her gardener). And He would ascend to the Father who is in the heaven before all the disciples. In the middle of the way Mary from Bethany (the roman) hugged the feet of Jesus and worshipped Him with Mary Magdalene.
C – The bribery of the guardsmen of the sealed sepulcher
11 Now, while they (the women) were going, lo some of the (roman) guards went to the city and told to the main priests all the things that succeeded.
12 They rejoined themselves in council with the elders. They gave a lot of money to the soldiers saying:
13 (Don't tell the Truth to anyone). Say: His disciples came tonight and stole him while we were sleeping.
14 If this come to the ears of the governor, we will persuade him and loose you of the troubles.
15 So they received the money and did as they were taught. This lie is divulged among the jews until these days. (Matthew, XXVIII, 11-15).
179. The priests suborned the roman soldiers of the sepulcher to lie. They act according to the parable of the unfaithful manager (chapter LXXV). They pay for the false witness: “Neither you will witness falsely against anyone.” (Deuteronomy, V, 20). Publius (Father Abraham, the rich roman senator) wasn't with the soldiers.
CI – Jesus appears to two disciples on the path to Emmaus
13 Lo two of them were going that very day to a village called Emmaus, sixty furlongs (1 furlong = 201,16 meters) far from Jerusalem.
14 They talked between them about all these things which had succeeded.
15 It came to pass, while they talked and discussed, that Jesus himself approached to them and was going with them.
16 But their eyes were obfuscated and they wouldn't recognize him.
17 He said to them: What communications are these that you have one to the other, while you walk? And they stopped looking sad.
18 But one of them, called Cleopas (John, XIX, 25 – chapter XCVI), answered: Are you the only errant in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things which are come to pass there in these days?
19 He said to them: What things? They said to him: The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet, mighty in works and words, before God and all the people.
20 And how the main priests and our authorities delivered him to be condemned to death. And they crucified him.
21 But we hoped that it was he who would expiate Israel. Yes. But after all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.
22 Besides certain women who accompany us, surprised us having been early in the tomb,
23 they didn't encounter his body. They came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
24 Certain men among us who were with us went to the tomb and saw it just as the women had said. But they didn't see him.
25 Then he said to them: Oh! Foolish men and delayed of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Wasn't it convenient that the Christ would suffer these things and entered in his glory?
27
Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted all the scriptures concerning himself to them.
28 When they approached to the village to where they were going, he made as if he would go straight ahead.
29 But they constrained him, saying:
Lodge with us, because it is late
. (chapter XXIV, item 59). The day is finishing.
And he entered in to lodge with them.
30
It came to pass that when he had sat down with them at the table, he took the bread, blessed him, divided it and gave to them.
31 Then their eyes were opened, they recognized him,
but he vanished before their sight.
32 They said one to the other: Wasn't our heart burning inside us, while he spoke to us in the way, while he opened the scriptures to us?
33 They stood up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, where they met the eleven rejoined and others with them.
34 They said: The Lord is resurrected and has already appeared to Simon!
35 They told what had happened in the way and how he was recognized by them in the dividing of the bread. (Luke, XXIV, 13-35).
12 After these things he manifested in another form to two among them, while they walked, on their way to the field.
13 And they went away and told it to the rest. However they didn't believe in them. (Mark, XVI, 12-13).
11
And in any city or village you will enter in, question who is worthy in it; and there you will lodge till you go away.
(Matthew, X, 11).
4
Let's now bring a few water, wash your feet and rest yourselves under this tree.
(Genesis, XVIII, 4).
180. A pharisee judged himself worthy and invited Jesus to dine (chapter XXIX). But Jesus forgave the sinful woman who meeknessly washed his feet through very expensive perfume: Mary from Bethany (Livia), the roman patrician wife of Publius Lentulus (chapter XVIII, item 47). She was Hagar, servant of Sarah (Mary the Holiest), and she cultivated this custom of receiving God with the Mother of the Nations (Eve) and with the Father Abraham (Publius). Publius Lentulus was unworthy, but even thus Jesus cured his daughter Flavia (Francisco Cândido Xavier – chapter XVIII, item 47 – see the book: "Two Thousand Years Ago" of Emmanuel psycographed by Francisco Cândido Xavier). Simon Peter and Cleopas were worthy and Jesus divided the bread with them.
CII – Jesus appears to the eleven disciples, except Thomas, in the Galilee
28 However, after I AM resuscitated, I will go before you to Galilee. (Mark, XIV, 28).
32 But after I AM resurrected, I will go before you to Galilee. (Matthew, XXVI, 32).
16 The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain (Mount Tabor – chapter LII) which Jesus had designated to them.
17 When they saw him, they worshipped him,
but some doubted.
18 Jesus came to them and spoke:
All might has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go therefore,
make disciples of all the nations
, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to keep all things whatever I commanded you. Lo,
I AM
with you always,
even the end of the world
. (Matthew, XXVIII, 16-20).
19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week. The doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the jews. Jesus came, stopped in the middle and said to them: Peace be with you!
20 When he had said this, he showed his hands and his side to them. Therefore the disciples were happy, when they saw the Lord.
21 Therefore Jesus said to them again: Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I also send you.
22 And when he had said this,
he blew the exhalation on them
, saying to them: Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Whoever whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven to them. Whoever whose sins you retain, they are retained. (John, XX, 19-23).
26 God also said: We will make the man according to our image, in conformity with our likeness. (Genesis, I, 26).
7 Then Jesus God formed the man from the clay of the ground and
he blew the exhalation of the life in his nostrils
; and the man became a living soul. (Genesis, II, 7).
36 As they spoke about these things, he himself appeared in the middle of them and said to them: Peace be with you!
37 But they were surprised and frightened. They supposed that they saw a spirit.
38 He said to them: Why are you troubled? Why do questions ascend from your heart?
39
See my hands and my feet, that
I AM
myself. Touch me and verify, because a spirit doesn't have flesh neither bones, as you see that I have.
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 Cause they still didn't believe because of the happiness and being wondered, he said: Do you have anything to eat here?
42 They gave him a piece of a roast fish and a honeycomb.
43 He took them and ate before them.
44 He said to them: These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you: All things concerning me would have to be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, in the prophets and in the psalms.
45 Then he opened their mind to comprehend the scriptures.
46 He said to them: Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and resurrect from the dead in the third day.
47 And the repentance and the expiation (forgiveness) of the sins would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
49
Lo I send the promise of my Father to you.
Delay in the city, until you will be clothed in might from the high. (Luke, XXIV, 36-49).
14 Finally he appeared to the eleven who were sat at the table. He reprehended their disbelief and the hardness of their heart, because they didn't believed in them who had seen him after he was resurrected.
15 He said to them: Go to all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved;
but he who doesn't believe will be condemned.
17
These signs will accompany them who believe. They will cast demons out in my name. They will speak new languages.
18 They will be pricked by snakes. If they drink any deadly thing, it will hurt them noway. If they will put their hands above the sick ones, these will be healed. (Mark, XVI, 14-18).
15 God also said to Abraham: Sarai your wife, you won't call her name Sarai, but Sarah will be her name.
16 I will bless her, and more I will give you a son of her. Yes, I will bless her and she will become Mother of the Nations. Kings of peoples will be from her.
5 Your name will be Abram no more, but you will be called Abraham, because I will make you Father of a multitude of Nations.
6 I will make you extremely fruitful. I will make nations from you. Kings will come out from you. (Genesis, XVII, 15-16 e 5-6).
181. Jesus was in Galilee and some didn't believe, so He appeared other times. Jesus is almighty. He has all the godly mights in infinite degree. He has all and any might. Jesus is the principle (atom – chapter II) and the end (pure Spirit) of the world. Cause our end (objective, goal) is to become God (perfect). He is Father, cause God creates all the other Spirits. He is Son because he be born. Jesus was touched by the apostles and presented Himself with body of flesh, cause He is the principle (atom). He ate roast fish and honey made of atoms before the apostles. The snakes are the counselors with his questions. Jesus had already accomplished His promise of transforming Sarah (Mary the Holiest) in Mother of the Nations. Now He sends Abraham (Emmanuel, "angel Gabriel") to become Father of the Nations such as He had already done to Mary, Mother of God. Because Abraham had sinned against Sarah, becoming her in prostitute against her will.
CIII – Jesus appears to Thomas
24 But Thomas, one among the twelve, called Didymus, wasn't with them when Jesus came.
25 Then the other disciples said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except if I will see the signal of the nails in his hands, putting my finger there and if I will see his side, putting my hand there, I will believe noway.
26 After eight days his disciples were rejoined again and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors being locked. He went to the middle and said: Peace be with you!
27 Then he said to Thomas: Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach your hand and put it in my side. Don't be unfaithful, but believe.
28 Thomas answered: My Lord and my God!
29 Jesus said to him:
You have believed, because you have seen me. Well-beatified are they who don't having seen, but yet thus they believed.
30 Many other signs Jesus did before the disciples, which aren't written in this book.
31 But these are written, for that you can believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. For that you have Life believing in his name. (John, XX, 24-31).
182. Thomas was a Spirit very simple and courageous, almost an indian. In Bethany, in the resurrection of Lazarus, Thomas was disposed to die for Jesus (chapter LXII)!! In the triumphal entrance of Jesus in Jerusalem (chapter LXIV), Jesus orders to Thomas to bring an arrested ass. Thomas and another disciple undressed themselves and tried to fruit the young little ass. The proprietor of the ass ordered him to take it to Jesus. Thomas and the other put their clothes on the ass and Jesus mounted. When the people of the multitude saw the two nude disciples, they began to unclothe. Thomas was full of grace: Really very funny. In the Saint Supper (chapter LXXXVII), Jesus said that He would prepare a Way to the Home of the Father. Thomas asked which was the Way. Jesus said that He was the Way. Many put the finger and the hand in Thomas and he gave a time. Thomas proved that Jesus had died, been crossed by the nails and by the lance of the roman soldier.
CIV – Jesus appears at the sea of the Galilee
1 After these Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He manifested himself thus:
2 Simon Peter; Thomas, called Didymus; Nathanael from Cana in Galilee; the sons of Zebedee and two other of his disciples were rejoined.
3 Simon Peter said to them: I go to fish. The others said to him: We also go with you. They went and entered in the boat. However they caught nothing that night.
4 But when daylight was coming, Jesus was on the beach. But the disciples didn't know that he was Jesus yet.
5 Jesus asked them: Children, do you have nothing to eat? They answered him: No.
6 He said to them: Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find. Thus they cast and now they weren't able to pull the net cause of the multitude of fishes.
7 That disciple who Jesus loved said to Peter: He is the Lord! So when Simon Peter heard that he was the Lord, he
tightened
his clothing (cause he was naked) and cast himself in the sea.
8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (cause they weren't far from the beach, but about two hundred ulnas far) pulling the net full of fishes.
9 When they went to the land, they see a fire of coals there, a lain fish and bread.
10 Jesus said to them: Bring some fishes which you have caught just now.
11 Simon Peter went in the boat and pulled the net to the land, full a hundred and fifty-three big fishes. Although so many fishes the net didn't tear.
12 Jesus said to them: Come and eat. None of the disciples dared to question him: Who are you? Because they knew that he was the Lord.
13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave to them. The fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus manifested himself to the disciples, after that he had resurrected from the dead.
15 After they have eaten, Jesus asked to Simon Peter:
Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?
He answered: Yes, Lord. You know that I love you. Jesus said to him:
Feed my lambs.
16 He asked Peter a second time again: Simon, son of John, do you love me? Peter answered him: Yes, Lord. You know that I love you. Jesus said to him:
Feed my sheeps.
17 He asked Peter the third time: Simon, son of John, do you love me? Peter was afflicted because he asked him the third time: Do you love me? Peter answered: Lord, you know all things, you know that I love you. Jesus said to him:
Feed my sheeps.
18 Truly, truly, I say to you:
When you was young, you
tightened
yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you will be ancient, you will stretch your hands and another will
tighten
you. He will carry you wherever you don't want
.
19 He spoke this signifying the manner of death he would glorify God. After he had spoken this, he said to him: Follow me.
20 Peter, turning back, saw the disciple who Jesus loved following with them, who cuddled on Jesus' chest during the supper (chapter LXXXVII, item 160). Peter asked: Lord, who is the traitor?
21 Peter, fixing his eyes in him, asked Jesus: Lord, what will this man do?
22 Jesus answered him: If I want that he will hope till I come, what does it mind to you? Concerning to you: Follow me.
23 These words signified to the brothers, that the disciple wouldn't die. Now Jesus didn't say that he wouldn't die, but: If I want that he will hope until I come, what does it mind to you?
24 This is the disciple who witnesses these things, who wrote these things. And we know that his witness is true.
25 There are still many other things which Jesus did. If they would write each one, I suppose that even the whole world wouldn't contain all the books which would be written. (John, XXI, 1-25).
17 Jesus sent a big fish to swallow Jonah. Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the fish.
1 Then Jonah prayed to Jesus, his God, from the belly of the fish.
2 He said: In my affliction I called Jesus and he answered me. I called you from the belly of the fish e you heard my voice.
10 Jesus spoke to the fish and this spewed Jonah on the dry land. (Jonah, I, 17, II, 1, 2 e 10 – compare to the chapter XIX, item 50).
183. Jesus, full of nostalgia, remembers the marvelous fishing (chapter XIV) who conquered those disciples. Peter was fishing naked. Why? It isn't necessary to be nude to fish. They were two hundred ulnas bones far (200*30centimeters=60 meters) from the beach. Peter in the Saint Supper (chapter LXXXVII) clucked that he would lie his Life for Jesus. Histories of fisherman. But before the cock clucked, Peter denied Him three times (chapter XCII). Jesus fills the net of Peter with fishes, for that Peter feeds his sheeps. The flower gives the nectar to the bee and the bee gives the honey to the man. Peter feeds John who wrote a gospel, letters and the Revelation. Peter feeds across fishes and John feeds Peter across the Word of God. John is Spirit more ancient than Peter (2
nd
Letter of John). Because of this Peter feeds John with fishes. Peter sinned desiring Jesus as man (chapter LI). The love of John (chapter LXXXVII, item 160) was nostalgic and pure. Homosexuality is sin. John had his darling (2
nd
Letter of John). John (chapter XCII) witnesses Jesus before Annas, Caiaphas, Herod and Pilate (chapter XCI, XCIV and XCV). Peter had attacked Malchus (chapter XC) and he didn't want to lie his Life. Then Peter asks looking to John: Who is the traitor? Jesus calls him to the part. Jesus was astounded. John was Jonah who was sleeping during the tempest. Peter is the master of the boat (chapters L, item 103 and LXXXVII, item 159) who cast Jonah as he was a stone in the sea to calm the tempest. Peter had sinned against Jesus (chapter LIV): If your brother sin against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. Jesus reprehended Peter.
CV – Jesus ascends to the Father who is in the heaven
50 He conducted them to Bethany. He raised his hands above them and blessed them.
51 It came to pass, while he blessed them, that he parted from them and ascended to the heaven.
52 Then they worshipped him and came back to Jerusalem with great happiness.
53 They were continually in the temple, blessing God. (Luke, XXIV, 50-53).
18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the just one for the unjust ones, to conduct us to God. Being dead in the flesh, but the spirit gives the life.
19 He also went to preach to the spirits in prison (the abyss of the hell).
20 Who in other time were disobedient, when the patience of God hoped in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared. They were few, it means, eight souls, who were saved through the water.
21 Which also saves you now likewise: the baptism. This doesn't bathe you the dirts of the flesh, but this questions your
good conscience
before God, across the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
22 Who is at the right hand of God, after having gone to the heaven. The angels, the authorities and the powers are subjected to him. (1
st
Letter of Peter, III, 18-22).
11 At evening the pigeon came back to him bringing in her beak a new leaf of olive tree. Thus Noah understood that the waters had decreased on the earth. (Genesis, VIII, 11 – chapter X).
5 Who will pay accounts to him who has jurisdiction to judge the living and the dead.
6 Cause to this end the gospel was preached even to the dead, for that they can be judged according to the men in the flesh, but they will live according to God in the spirit.
7 But the end of all things is coming. Have therefore healthy mind and be abstemious to the well of your prayers.
8 Above all things be boiling in your love among yourselves. Because the love (charity) covers a multitude of sins. (1
st
Letter of Peter, IV, 6-8).
9 Now He ascended, what is this but that he also had descended to the deepest parts of the earth? (Letter of Paul to the Ephesians, IV, 9).
27 Thus it is ordered to the men to die once and after this the judgement will come. (Letter of Paul to the Hebrews, IX, 27).
19 Then the Lord Jesus was received up in the heaven, after he had spoken to them. He sat down at the right hand of God.
20 And they went away and preached everywhere. The Lord worked with them and confirmed the word across of signs, which followed them. Love. (Mark, XVI, 19-20).
1 I wrote the first book, oh! Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began to do and to teach.
2 Until the day when he was received in the high, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion through many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the things concerning the kingdom of God.
4 And being rejoined with them, he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said: 777 á You heard from me.
5 Because John really baptized in water. But you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit soon.
6 Then they asked him when they were rejoined: Lord, will you restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?
7 He answered them: It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has reserved to His own authority.
8 But you will receive might, when the Holy Spirit will come above you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judaea and in Samaria and in the last part of the earth.
9 When he had said these words, while they were looking, he ascended and a cloud covered him against their sight.
10 And while they were fixing their eyes in the heaven as he was flying, lo two men dressed in white stood up by the side of them.
11 They said: Men from Galilee, why are you looking to the high of the heaven? This Jesus, who was received in heaven before you, will come likewise as you saw him going to the heaven. (Acts of the Apostles, I, 1-11).
184. Jesus descended to the abyss of the Hades for love of Judas Iscariot, His obedient little sheep, who had committed suicide. Judas Iscariot was Noah who Jesus went to save; besides Noah, Jesus still saved eight other little sheeps who hadn't come in the ark with Noah and who were still there. Noah needed to commit suicide to descend to the hell and save those little sheeps who he loved and who couldn't go out from there alone. The pigeon who baptized Jesus in Bethany was Mary the Holiest (chapter X). Bethany was considered the heaven by Jesus because John the Baptist (Moses, Elijah, Kardec) and Publius Lentulus (Abraham, Emmanuel, "angel" Gabriel) and his wife Livia (Hagar, Mary from Bethany) had home there. The two Spirits who were by the side of the apostles were John the Baptist and the good robber (Adam). We are clouds because we are made of water.
CVI – Jesus appears to Saul and proselytes him
1 But Saul, yet breathing threats and butcheries against the disciples of the Lord, went to the highest priest.
2 He asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, to encounter any who belonged to the Way, men or women, to bring them arrested to Jerusalem.
3 While he was in the path, it came to pass that he approached to Damascus, when suddenly a heavenly light brightened around him.
4 And he fell on the earth and heard a voice saying to him:
Saul, Saul, why do you persecutes me?
5 He asked: Who are you, Lord? And he answered:
I AM Jesus
to whom you persecute. It is hard for you to kick against the
big needles
.
6 Shaking and astonished he said: Lord, what do you want me to? The Lord said to him:
Stand up and go in the city. Someone will tell you what you must do.
7 The men who traveled with him stopped mute, hearing a voice, but seeing none.
8 Then Saul stood up from the earth. But when his eyes were opened, he saw none. But they conducted him across the hand and brought him to Damascus. (Acts of the Apostles, IX, 1-8).
1 Brothers, now I make you know the gospel which I preached to you, which you received, in what you hope.
2 You will be saved across the gospel, if you hug the word just as I preached it to you, except if you believe in pit.
3 Cause I delivered to you the first of all who I have received: The Christ died because of our sins according to the scriptures.
4 He was sepulchered and he resurrected in the third day according to the scriptures.
5 He appeared to Cephas and after to the twelve.
6 After he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once. The majority of these still remains until now. But some have fallen asleep.
7 Then he appeared to James. Later to all the apostles.
8 Finally after all, as a child of a mother who have already passe across the menopause, he also appeared to me.
9 Because I am the least (last – chapter LIII) of the apostles. I am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
10 But across the grace of God
I AM WHO I AM
. His grace was given to me, not in the pit. But I worked more plentifully than they all. However yet not me, but the grace of God was with me.
11 Therefore be I or be they, thus we preach and thus you believed.
12 If Christ is preached that he has been resurrected from the dead, how some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither Christ has been resurrected.
14 If Christ hasn't been resurrected, then our preaching is pit, your belief is pit.
15 Yes, we are false witnesses before God. Because we have witnessed against God that he resurrected Christ, who he didn't resurrect, if the deads don't resurrect.
16 Because if the deads don't resurrect, neither Christ has been resurrected.
17 If Christ hasn't been resurrected, your faith is pit, you are yet in your sins.
18 They who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If we have hope in Christ only in this life, we are the most pitable of all men.
20 But now Christ has been resurrected from the dead, the first fruits of them who are asleep. (1
st
Letter of Paul to the Corinthians, XV, 1-20).
23 They proposed two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was denominated Justus, and Matthias.
25 To take the place in this ministry and apostolate whose Judas had fallen away, to go to his own place.
26 They cast their lucks in them. The luck fell on Matthias. He was numbered among the eleven apostles. (Acts of the Apostles, I, 23, 25-26).
3 Then Peter said: Ananias, why did Satan fill your heart to lie to the Hole (Pit) Spirit, reserving part of the money of the field?
5 Hearing these words, Ananias fell down and gave the ghost. All who heard this had great fear. (Acts of the Apostles, V, 3 and 5).
13 But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard many about this man. How much evil did he do to your saints in Jerusalem?
15 But the Lord said to him: Go your Way. Because he is a temple chosen by me, to carry my name before the foreigners, the kings and the children of Israel. (Acts of the Apostles, IX, 13 and 15).
7 He answered them: It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has reserved to His own authority. (Acts of the Apostles, I, 7).
185. Saul from Tarsus is Saul (I Samuel, XXVIII, 7 and I Samuel, XXXI, 5). He resurrected from the deads across the rebirth. Paul is the 12
th
apostle chosen by Jesus to replace Judas Iscariot. The apostles are chosen by Jesus. They aren't elected by the men and yet less by the dice. Peter is the pit (hole – chapter CIV) who didn't have the Gift of the Word and who took all the wealth of the christians and of Ananias. “The punishment, this is the
big needle
which excites the soul (life), through bitterness, to reply against herself and to come back to the beach of the Saviour.” (Paul apostle, 1009 of SB).
