GRM 54.6
The Gospel as revealed to me
Quotation
54.6 «Master… why did Your cousin not come, although he knows where You live?»
«My Peter!… You will be one of My stones, the first one. But not all the stones can be easily used. Have you seen the marble blocks in the Praetorium building? With hard labour they have been torn away from the bosom of the mountain side, and are now part of the Praetorium. Look instead at those stones down there shining in the moonlight, in the water of the Kidron. They reached the riverbed by themselves, and if anyone wants to take them, they do not put up any resistance. My cousin is like the first stones I am speaking of… The bosom of the mountain side: his family, they contend for him with Me.»
«But I want to be exactly like the stones in the torrent. I am quite prepared to leave everything for You: home, wife, fishing, brothers. Everything, Rabboni, for You.»
«I know, Peter. That is why I love you. Also Judas will come.»
«Who? Judas of Kerioth? I don’t care for him. He is a dandy young man, but… I prefer… I prefer myself…» They all laugh at Peter’s witty remark. «There is nothing to laugh at. I mean that I prefer a sincere Galilean, a rough fisherman, but without any fraud to… to townsfolk who… I don’t know… here: the Master knows what I mean.»
«Yes, I know. But do not judge. We need one another in this world, the good are mixed with the wicked, just like flowers in a field. Hemlock grows beside the salutary mallow.»
Detail
Peter asks Jesus about Jude, who is absent, and the conversation turns to Judas, who first presented himself to the Master.
