Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B hook, and the first fish that you catch, take it in; and when you open its mouth, you will find a Stator in it (two-drachma coin)! Take it, bring it here and give it to the tax-collector for Me and you!‖ (Mt.17:27) [GGJ.05_243,08] Peter now immediately did as I had ordered. And behold, a seven-pound salmon caught the hook, brought the Stator – and us a good meal; for this type of fish are the best and healthiest of a lake. When Peter returned from the customs house, he said that the tax-collector refused to accept the whole Stator, but only wanted to accept half. However, he, Peter, had reassured him that all twelve of them had travelled as far as the Master alone. The tax-collector found that well-reckoned and finally accepted the whole Stator. [GGJ.05_243,09] But I said, ―Well, just have the fish prepared, and we‘ll let the tax-collector be who he is!‖ [GGJ.05_243,10] But James asked Me how the Stator had got into the fish‘s mouth. [GGJ.05_243,11] And I said, ―The Romans from Capernaum occupied themselves by throwing drachma into the water for their ship‘s boys who could swim, and these then fetched them out again. But our salmon snapped this one up and chewed it for a time. But since the metal would not be chewed nor swallowed, it remained stuck in the fish‘s mouth and Peter caught exactly the same hungry salmon all the easier because it was very hungry. The miracle for man is only that I knew about it. But now see that we are served wine and bread and in addition the fish!‖ [GGJ.05_243,12] Everyone hurried there now to fetch what had been demanded. The wine of course had to be manufactured in the familiar, miraculous way. Very soon everything was ready and we sat down at the table. Chapter 244 The Lord in the house of Simon Peter. (Chap.244-251) [GGJ.05_244,01] But as we were eating and drinking and in the end were filled with good things, which lasted almost an hour, several disciples rose from their seats, came up to Me and asked Me, ―Lord, You have now told us a lot about the actual form of the kingdom of heaven, and how there are various levels of eternal bliss, of which some close to God and others further and once again some stand in a way the furthest from the Sun of Grace. We found that quite right and according to all reason; for there must also be differences in heaven, both in form as well as in the various levels of bliss 210
Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B and the blessed. We however would like to hear from You now who will be the first in Your heavens and who, as one says, will be the greatest according to God.‖ (Mt.18:1) [GGJ.05_244,02] But in Simon Peter‘s house there were several children of the neighbors; I called one of them to Me and made him stand right away in the midst of the inquiring disciples (Mt. 18:2) and said to them, ―Truly, unless you are converted from such worldly arrogant thoughts and become just as humble as these children, then even you yourselves, although you are now My disciples, will not enter the kingdom of heaven! (Mt.18:3) [GGJ.05_244,03] Whoever then humbles himself like this child and feels no trace of any arrogance in himself, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven; for only true humility of a pure heart alone determines the degree of blessing in heaven. (Mt.18:4) [GGJ.05_244,04] But who ever receives one such child in My name, receives Me! (Mt.18:5) But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea. (Mt.18:6) Truly I say to you: Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks; for those who cause the stumbling blocks will find the most merciless judge!‖ [GGJ.05_244,05] At this a disciple turned to Me and said, ―Lord, at this speech of Yours and according to its meaning the kingdom of heaven will look very empty; for where on Earth lives the man who, without wanting to, has not annoyed one or another child? And I suggest the case that such a child would never be annoyed by anyone. Nonetheless in his adult age he will be very instinctively annoyed by his own awakened drive and partly through the necessary knowledge of the Laws of Moses. Nonetheless tell us clearly what You wanted to say to us with such a speech, which is very hard!‖ [GGJ.05_244,06] I spoke further and said, ―Do not be foolish in your thoughts! What only somewhat wise person will count it as your sin if you, without knowing and wanting it, have annoyed someone?! Indeed certain stumbling blocks must come into the world, but they are permitted from above; But I only say now: Woe to him through whom it comes evilly und intentionally!‖ (Mt.18:7) [GGJ.05_244,07] Here another disciple took up the word again and said, ―But what will happen then if my own nature annoys me? Who will be held responsible? Obviously he who gave me such an irritable nature will be guilty!‖ [GGJ.05_244,08] At this somewhat too free and quite cheeky question on the part of the somewhat excited disciple, I also became somewhat excited then and said, ―If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw 211
