Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
[GGJ.05_250,10] And when all the most necessary had been written down,
Peter said, ―Now this lesson can never again be lost, and thus much has
been won with this! But it is now becoming evening, and I will have to begin
to arrange things so that we get an evening meal.‖
[GGJ.05_250,11] Said I: ―But who told you then that it is now already
becoming evening? Look out at the height of the sun! I tell you, if we now rise
and sail with a good wind along the whole length of the sea, we will certainly
still come to the border of the Jewish lands on the other side of the Jordan
before the sunset!‖
[GGJ.05_250,12] At this Peter looked at the height of the sun and began to
wonder greatly at how he could have been so seriously mistaken with the
judgment of time; for the sun had still a good three hours before its setting.

[GGJ.05_251,01] But Peter gathered himself quickly and asked Me about the
reason for such a deception, and I said to him, ―Go out to the sea and you

[GGJ.05_251,03] And I answered and said, ―Of course! When they flew over
from Egypt, they darkened the sun so much like a thick cloud that you here in
the room obviously had to think that it had already become evening. But I
saw in Me the cause of the evening that had come too early and made you
aware of it – and that is now already everything that I have to say to you
about it!‖
[GGJ.05_251,04] Peter was satisfied with this and went out again to look at
the great spectacle of nature.
[GGJ.05_251,05] Andrew and Philip however were quite interested in nature
and asked Me how then such huge grasshoppers could exist, where actually
then their place of origin was, and what they were good for.
[GGJ.05_251,06] Said I: "Dear friends, it is quite commendable to look around
