GRM 79.7

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

We will stop at the foot of the Terebinth Valley. And we will part there. Elias will go back to his pastures with Levi: Joseph will come with Me as far as the Jericho ford. Later… we will meet again. You, Isaac, continue what you did at Juttah, going from here, through Arimathaea and Lydda, to Doco. We will meet there. It is necessary to prepare Judaea, and you know how to do it. Exactly as you did at Juttah.

Detail

Jesus gives his instructions after finding Elijah and Isaac.

GRM 81.1

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

«Peace be with you» says Jesus raising His arms as if He were embracing them. And He specifies: «Peace to you, Simeon, John and Matthias, faithful to Me, and faithful to John the Prophet! Peace to you, Joseph» and He kisses him on his cheeks. The other three are now on their knees. «Come, My friends. Under these trees, on the river-bank and let us talk.»

They go down and Jesus sits on a large protruding root, the others on the ground. Jesus smiles and looks at them intently, one by one: «Let Me become familiar with your faces. Your souls are already known to Me, souls that seek and love what is good contrary to all worldly yearnings. Isaac, Elias and Levi send you their regards, and there are other greetings, from My Mother.»

Detail

Jesus goes to meet the shepherds Matthias, Simeon, and John.

GRM 82.4-5

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

«The shepherds are coming. Do not let us upset their souls with our quarrels. Have you counted the money? That is enough. Fulfil all your actions as you fulfilled this one, and I repeat it once again, in future, if you can, do not tell lies, not even to accomplish a good deed.»

82.5

The shepherds come in.

«My friends. Here are ten and a half talents. The amount is short of one hundred coins which Judas has kept for the inn expenses. Take them.»

«Are You giving them all?» asks Judas.

«Yes, every penny. I do not want a forthing of that money. We have the offerings of God and of those who honestly seek God… and we shall never lack what is necessary. Believe Me. Take the money and be happy, as I am, for the Baptist. Tomorrow, you will go towards his prison. Two of you: that is John and Matthias. Simeon and Joseph will go to Elias to report to him and to be taught for the future. Elias knows. Later, Joseph will come back with Levi. The meeting place, in ten days time, is at the Fish Gate in Jerusalem, at sunrise. And now, let us eat and rest. Tomorrow, at dawn, I will leave with My disciples. I have nothing else to tell you for the time being. Later, you will hear from Me.»

And everything fades out while Jesus is breaking the bread.

Detail

Judas recounted how he obtained ten and a half talents from the sale of Aglaë's jewelry.

In light of what is stated in EMV 83.3, perhaps the John mentioned here is John the son of Zebedee. To be confirmed.
