GRM 192.2 · Volume 3
The Gospel as revealed to me
Quotation
A lovely little river which flows towards the sea and is in flood because of the springtime rains and the thawing snow, prevents them from proceeding.
Peter runs towards them and says: «The bridge is further up, where the road from Ptolomais to Engannim passes.»
Jesus goes back submissively and crosses the little river by a strong stone bridge. Immediately afterwards they meet some little mountains and hills, but they are of little importance.
«Shall we be at Engannim by evening?» asks Philip.
«Certainly… But… we have the boy now. Are you tired, Jabez?» Jesus fondly. «Be as frank as an angel.»
«A little, Lord. But I will do my best to walk.»
«This boy is very weak» says the man from Endor in his guttural voice.
«No wonder!» exclaims Peter. «Considering the life he has been leading for months! Come here, I will carry you in my arms.»
«Oh! No, sir. Don’t tire yourself. I am still able to walk.»
«Come, come here. You are certainly not heavy. You look like an underfed little bird» and Peter puts him astride his square shoulder’s, holding him by the legs.
They walk fast because the sun is now strong and urges them to reach the shady hills.
