GRM 128

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

A man with leprosy (adolescent) presents himself to Jesus. He has committed adultery with a beautiful woman. The leprosy has just appeared and he is about to be condemned. He begs for God's mercy, but is not truly repentant. Jesus achieves physical healing, not because of the young man, but because of his mother. Then he makes a speech about not coveting another's wife.

GRM 129

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

In EMV 129, a Roman presents himself with his possessed brother. He has made a long journey to see the Master and have his brother cured. This deserves reward, but Christ doesn't stop there: he also tells him about the soul, about Galen, a Roman philosopher, and literally conquers the Roman's soul. Then he heals his possessed brother. Next, Jesus comments on a passage from the Second Book of Kings and says that he comes for everyone. He even states that by doing so, he was able to enlighten two souls who will go home to proclaim the Lord. The Master speaks briefly about the soul and the fact that the Savior came for the Gentiles too. The two Romans then leave. Aglaia weeps, and Jesus sends Peter to give her a message: "May homelands pass away, but Heaven abide."

GRM 130

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Peter spots a group of Pharisees from Galilee. The apostles get agitated, go to see them and put them in their place, because these men are scandalized by Christ's attitude (who welcomed Aglaia, a prostitute, and healed pagans in the previous days). A man of the people then tells the disciples that he did not believe their words because he has changed thanks to the Lord. James of Alphaeus and Peter then talk together: according to Christ's cousin, the Master is pleased with Peter, and James reveals that he speaks well thanks to Mary's lessons.

Jesus is accompanied by little Asrael, who is four years old and a preacher at heart. The Messiah then gives a discourse on the Commandment: "Thou shalt not bear false witness" and always encourages men to be sincere. In particular, he dwells on lying, its causes and consequences.
