Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
[GGJ.05_241,05] Then the host asked, saying, ―I would have been of the
opinion that there is a lot to be done here; for on this place there are a great
number of people!‖
[GGJ.05_241,06] I said, ―That is true indeed; but they are mostly sheer
traders, and they have either little or no meaning at all for us. Thus we want
to go somewhere else where there are not so many traders and money
changers.‖
[GGJ.05_241,07] At this I rose with My disciples and we boarded our ship
and quickly sailed away. Towards the middle of the day we came along the
bank to our old Jesaira after our journey which was somewhat slower this
time. When the people here saw us, they ran towards us in crowds and
begged Me to heal their sick.
[GGJ.05_241,08] But I said, ―I did not come only to heal your sick, but
instead much more in order to tell you that the kingdom of God is near to you,
as I told you not so long ago; but you did not pay attention to it then, because
you knew Me from Nazareth, and only now are you thinking anything of it!
And so I will not remain with you and nor will I heal your sick! Go to your
doctors; they will no doubt come to terms with your sick!‖
[GGJ.05_241,09] At this some of them became sullen, but others remained
and continued to ask Me to heal their sick.
[GGJ.05_241,10] But I said, ―It will be well for those of you who believe that I
am the promised Messiah, who lays his hands on the sick in My name, and it
should be better for him, whatever evil he has been beset with!‖
[GGJ.05_241,11] Then many shouted, ―We believe, we believe!‖
[GGJ.05_241,12] At this they left the bank hastily and hurried to their sick, of
whom several had already become fresh and healthy. But those who did not
really believe in their hearts laid their hands on their sick in vain and ran back
to the bank again in order to seek advice from Me about what was lacking,
why they could not succeed to do what their neighbors had done. But I was
no longer in that place, but already quite far away, and indeed almost at the
place where Peter had his fisherman‘s hut, not far from Capernaum.
[GGJ.05_241,13] We remained there for a few days and rested from our
efforts a little and helped Peter‘s family to fish. Here we also left the ship and
then made the journey to Galilee by foot and visited a number of places,
villages and areas. I and the disciples announced the gospel, found a good
reception from many, but also many opponents. For on this journey I
performed few miracles, for there was too little faith for it. But in general,
northern Galilee was too much peppered with Greeks and Romans and
always crossed by a number of conjurors and magicians who did their
