Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B<br />
But today have a good bed prepared for us so that we can shake off our<br />
tiredness and tomorrow stand strong for action again!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_263,10] At this the host Barnabe ordered his servants to prepare us<br />
a good bed immediately and they did what they were commanded.<br />
[GGJ.05_263,11] When we stood up from the table, the healed daughter<br />
came up to Me once again and thanked Me most heartfelt for the healing of<br />
her suffering, and also the host, his wife and his other children did the same;<br />
for the beautiful and cheerful Elisa was very dear to them all and they were<br />
so overjoyed that they now had their Elisa very fresh and healthy again<br />
before them. I gave them all My blessing and then headed with My disciples<br />
quickly to rest.<br />
Chapter 264<br />
[GGJ.05_264,01] When we woke up in the early morning, we already found<br />
the whole house buzzing with activity. On the hearth was burning a cheerful<br />
fire already, around which several pots were standing, in which all sorts of<br />
aromatic dishes were cooking for us and for the people of the house. There<br />
were also fish, and indeed the best and most beautiful mountain trout. The<br />

[GGJ.05_264,02] But I said to her, how could she work thus today, on a<br />
Sabbath?<br />
[GGJ.05_264,03] To this Elisa answered and said, ―Lord and Master, there is<br />
no law in the Scriptures that forbids the people to serve God on a Sabbath!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_264,04] I said, ―Very well – on the Sabbath one should indeed<br />
serve God alone very well; but you are now serving with all energy only Me<br />
and My disciples! Are we gods then?!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_264,05] The assiduous daughter said, ―Oh Lord, Your disciples are<br />
indeed only people like us; but You are God through and through, which I<br />
now see only too clearly! And if I and everyone in the house serve You<br />
through our activity, then we certainly do not desecrate the Sabbath!‖<br />
[GGJ.05_264,06] Said I: ―But tell Me, My very dearest Elisa, who told you<br />
that I was a god! For look, if I were a god, and Jehovah in heaven is also a<br />
very truest god, then there would obviously be two gods; but in the Scriptures<br />
it says very expressly: I alone am your God and Lord; therefore you shall<br />
