Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B<br />
[GGJ.05_189,07] Both say, quite overjoyed at this assurance, ―Immediately<br />
on all our sides as far as possible everything will be best looked after!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_189,08] With this both leave very cheerfully, and I praised the<br />
disciple for his untiring perseverance and for his truly very great patience.<br />
Chapter 190<br />
[GGJ.05_190,01] While both these fishermen with their wives and children<br />
prepared the evening meal for us, finally Judas Iscariot, who had become<br />
very sheepish, asked once again, who would send the ship back to old Mark<br />
if we no longer needed it.<br />
[GGJ.05_190,02] I say, ―Worry about something better than such worldly<br />
trivialities; for He who built this ship for Mark in a miraculous way will know<br />
how He has to bring it back to him! How come you still cannot ever see to<br />
something spiritual, but instead certainly you always worry only about<br />
something worldly! What do you profit from the world, or what would you<br />
profit if you won the whole world, but suffered the greatest harm to your soul?<br />
What can you give then to save your spoilt soul?!<br />
[GGJ.05_190,03] Just look at these poor fishermen! They are the soberest<br />
and otherwise the friendliest people, expect no reward for their life after the<br />
death of their body, and nonetheless the entire world with its temporary<br />
treasures is an abomination to them, and they have therefore retreated from<br />
the whole world to this most deserted and void corner of the Earth. Now for<br />
the first time they have heard about something more highly spiritual, and<br />
already they are full of satisfaction – and a good half of them are Gentiles;<br />
but you are a genuine Jew and belong along with Me to the seed of Judah,<br />
and nonetheless the spiritual makes little or often no impression at all on you!<br />
Tell Me now quite openly why you actually walk with Me from place to place!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_190,04] Somewhat embarrassed, Judas says, ―Well, yes, now<br />
everything has failed once again, because I made myself heard because of<br />
the ship! I did not have any bad or dishonest opinion about it! Forgive me, if I<br />
have made a mistake by it!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_190,05] I say, ―Yes, yes, a lot still has to be forgiven you! Make sure<br />
that in the end the world does not become your master!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_190,06] At this Thomas wanted to whisper a few more words into<br />
Judas Iscariot‘s ear; but I looked at Thomas and he remained silent in all<br />
patience.<br />
