Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B<br />

[GGJ.05_251,12] Andrew and Philip immediately do what I had ordered them<br />

and Peter, hardly entering the room, immediately asked what it was that I<br />

was willing to tell them.<br />

Chapter 252<br />

Beyond the Jordan on the Sea of Galilee. (Chap.252-276)<br />

[GGJ.05_252,01] And I said, ―All of you get ready for a journey; I want and<br />

must today leave here, and indeed completely from Galilee to the land which<br />

lies beyond the Jordan and borders on the Jewish lands! (Mt.19:1) We have<br />

not been there yet, and there is a large number there of very curious people,<br />

and we will there make a good business even today.‖<br />

[GGJ.05_252,02] Peter said, ―Lord, we have to travel there by ship which is<br />

full of that grasshopper vermin; in order to clean it, two hard-working people<br />

would need half a day for such a task!‖<br />

[GGJ.05_252,03] I said, ―There you have spoken truly, two workers would<br />

need to work even a whole day; but I will be faster through with such a task!<br />

Let us now just go out onto the sea, and the ship will already be cleaned!‖<br />

[GGJ.05_252,04] And when we came down to our ships on the lake, behold,<br />

it was quite clean, and there was no trace of a grasshopper to be found<br />

anywhere!<br />

[GGJ.05_252,05] When the disciples saw this, they were very amazed about<br />

it, and Peter said, ―You are truly a greatest master in all things; even the<br />

grasshoppers have to bend to obey Your will! Should we now immediately<br />

board the ship and sail away; or should we first consume an afternoon meal<br />

with some wine, since the journey is quite far?‖<br />

[GGJ.05_252,06] I said, ―What need do we have of all of that? Until now we<br />

have never suffered hunger wherever we were, and so we will also neither<br />

have to suffer hunger nor thirst in the land where we will now go to. In your<br />

house you have in any case arranged everything, and so let us board the<br />

ship! Stretch out the sailcloth, then release the ship from the block, and<br />

someone sit at the rudder by himself! I will have a good wind come and we<br />

will soon be at the right place where I want to go.‖<br />

[GGJ.05_252,07] But Peter still asked Me whether he should not take a<br />

couple of his deck hands with him to the far harbor on the other side for the<br />

sake of the care and maintenance of the ship.<br />
