Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
[GGJ.05_193,07] With this Hiram was satisfied; but Aziona said, ―Look, dear
friends, I asked you whether you were being followed by some enemies! But
you said: Not at all! If you had only told us something about it – truly, we
would have soon soured their arrival in this bay in such a way that they would
have had enough to think about for thirty years!‖
[GGJ.05_193,08] I said, ―I knew indeed what would happen without our fault;
however, if I had told you immediately, you would have lost your necessary
rest. You would have made a very great effort to block up the entrance into
this bay – and what for? I have the highest power in abundance for more
than a hundred thousand such enemy ships! What would be the use of such
preparations? The prize along with the ship belongs in any case to you, and
that will not be insignificant! They are carrying great sums of bribes and other
money for their good provisions and another amount of other earthly
valuables which will come very handy to you in your great poverty. I have

and will now straightaway come on land along with the two fishermen who
betrayed us; pay attention to what will happen to them!‖
[GGJ.05_193,11] Aziona said, ―Let us hope they do not carry arrows with
them!‖
[GGJ.05_193,12] I said, ―Oh no, they have only a few spears, lances, swords
and chains with them; but now quiet, My dears!‖
Chapter 194
[GGJ.05_194,01] At that moment we heard rough voices laughing mockingly
and calling, ―Hurrah! Hahahaha, the funny birds are sitting all together with
Greek illuminations, and we have got them finally in our power!‖
[GGJ.05_194,02] Immediately the two arch-Pharisees stepped up to our
table with the castellan of Herod and several pursuers with very fierce faces
and said, ―If you do not want to be brought to Jerusalem in heavy chains,
