GRM 191.1 · Volume 3
The Gospel as revealed to me
Quotation
The peasants of Johanan, women, men and children follow them. The men are carrying two small amphoras, which, however, are not very small, and which must be full of wine. They are jars rather than amphoras and contain about ten litres each. (Please do not take my estimate literally). They go towards a thick vineyard, which is already all covered with new leaves, at the end of Johanan’s property. Beyond it there is a large ditch which is kept full of water with, I wonder, how much work.
«See? Johanan quarrelled with Doras over this ditch. Johanan said: “It is your father’s fault if everything is ruined. If he did not want to adore Him, he should have been afraid of Him instead of provoking Him”. And Doras shouted like a demon: “It was this ditch that saved you. The insects did not cross it…”. And Johanan replied: “Why is all your property ruined, then, when previously your fields were the nicest ones in Esdraelon? It’s God’s punishment, believe me. You went beyond the limit. This water?… It has been here all the time and that is not what saved me”. And Doras shouted again: “Which proves that Jesus is a demon”. “He is a just man” Johanan shouted back. And they continued for some time, while they had breath. Later Johanan spent a lot of money to divert the torrent, to find other underground water sources, and to dig more ditches on the boundary line between him and his relative, and he made them deeper and told us what we told You yesterday… After all, he is happy that it happened. He was so envious of Doras… He now hopes that he will be able to buy everything, because Doras will end up by selling everything at a very low price.»
