The Later Childhood of Jesus
124:0.1 (1366.1) ALTHOUGH Jesus might have enjoyed a better
opportunity for schooling at Alexandria than in Galilee, he
could not have had such a splendid environment for working out
his own life problems with a minimum of educational guidance,
at the same time enjoying the great advantage of constantly
contacting with such a large number of all classes of men and
women hailing from every part of the civilized world. Had he
remained at Alexandria, his education would have been directed
by Jews and along exclusively Jewish lines. At Nazareth he secured
an education and received a training which more acceptably prepared
him to understand the gentiles, and which gave him a better
and more balanced idea of the relative merits of the Eastern,
or Babylonian, and the Western, or Hellenic, views of Hebrew
theology.

1. Jesus¡¯ Ninth Year
(A.D. 3)
124:1.1 (1366.2) Though it could hardly
be said that Jesus was ever seriously ill, he did have some
of the minor ailments of childhood this year, along with his
brothers and baby sister.
124:1.2 (1366.3) School went on and
he was still a favored pupil, having one week each month at
liberty, and he continued to divide his time about equally between
trips to neighboring cities with his father, sojourns on his
uncle¡¯s farm south of Nazareth, and fishing excursions out from
Magdala.
124:1.3 (1366.4) The most serious trouble
as yet to come up at school occurred in late winter when Jesus
dared to challenge the chazan regarding the teaching that all
images, pictures, and drawings were idolatrous in nature. Jesus
delighted in drawing landscapes as well as in modeling a great
variety of objects in potter¡¯s clay. Everything of that sort
was strictly forbidden by Jewish law, but up to this time he
had managed to disarm his parents¡¯ objection to such an extent
that they had permitted him to continue in these activities.
124:1.4 (1366.5) But trouble was again stirred
up at school when one of the more backward pupils discovered
Jesus drawing a charcoal picture of the teacher on the floor
of the schoolroom. There it was, plain as day, and many of the
elders had viewed it before the committee went to call on Joseph
to demand that something be done to suppress the lawlessness
of his eldest son. And though this was not the first time complaints
had come to Joseph and Mary about the doings of their versatile
and aggressive child, this was the most serious of all the accusations
which had thus far been lodged against him. Jesus listened to
the indictment of his artistic efforts for some time, being
seated on a large stone just outside the back door. He resented
their blaming his father for his alleged misdeeds; so in he
marched, fearlessly confronting his accusers. The elders were
thrown into confusion. Some were inclined to view the episode
humorously, while one or two seemed to think the boy was sacrilegious
if not blasphemous. Joseph was nonplused, Mary indignant, but
Jesus insisted on being heard. He had his say, courageously
defended his viewpoint, and with consummate self-control announced
that he would abide by the decision of his father in this as
in all other matters controversial. And the committee of elders
departed in silence.
124:1.5 (1367.1) Mary endeavored to influence
Joseph to permit Jesus to model in clay at home, provided he
promised not to carry on any of these questionable activities
at school, but Joseph felt impelled to rule that the rabbinical
interpretation of the second commandment should prevail. And
so Jesus no more drew or modeled the likeness of anything from
that day as long as he lived in his father¡¯s house. But he was
unconvinced of the wrong of what he had done, and to give up
such a favorite pastime constituted one of the great trials
of his young life.
124:1.6 (1367.2) In the latter part of June,
Jesus, in company with his father, first climbed to the summit
of Mount Tabor. It was a clear day and the view was superb.
It seemed to this nine-year-old lad that he had really gazed
upon the entire world excepting India, Africa, and Rome.
124:1.7 (1367.3) Jesus¡¯ second sister, Martha,
was born Thursday night, September 13. Three weeks after the
coming of Martha, Joseph, who was home for awhile, started the
building of an addition to their house, a combined workshop
and bedroom. A small workbench was built for Jesus, and for
the first time he possessed tools of his own. At odd times for
many years he worked at this bench and became highly expert
in the making of yokes.
124:1.8 (1367.4) This winter and the next
were the coldest in Nazareth for many decades. Jesus had seen
snow on the mountains, and several times it had fallen in Nazareth,
remaining on the ground only a short time; but not until this
winter had he seen ice. The fact that water could be had as
a solid, a liquid, and a vapor ¡ª he had long pondered over the
escaping steam from the boiling pots ¡ª caused the lad to think
a great deal about the physical world and its constitution;
and yet the personality embodied in this growing youth was all
this while the actual creator and organizer of all these things
throughout a far-flung universe.
124:1.9 (1367.5) The climate of Nazareth
was not severe. January was the coldest month, the temperature
averaging around 50¡Æ F. During July and August, the hottest
months, the temperature would vary from 75¡Æ to 90¡Æ F. From the
mountains to the Jordan and the Dead Sea valley the climate
of Palestine ranged from the frigid to the torrid. And so, in
a way, the Jews were prepared to live in about any and all of
the world¡¯s varying climates.
124:1.10 (1367.6) Even during the warmest
summer months a cool sea breeze usually blew from the west from
10:00 A.M. until about 10:00 P.M. But every now and then terrific
hot winds from the eastern desert would blow across all Palestine.
These hot blasts usually came in February and March, near the
end of the rainy season. In those days the rain fell in refreshing
showers from November to April, but it did not rain steadily.
There were only two seasons in Palestine, summer and winter,
the dry and rainy seasons. In January the flowers began to bloom,
and by the end of April the whole land was one vast flower garden.
124:1.11 (1367.7) In May of this year, on
his uncle¡¯s farm, Jesus for the first time helped with the harvest
of the grain. Before he was thirteen, he had managed to find
out something about practically everything that men and women
worked at around Nazareth except metal working, and he spent
several months in a smith¡¯s shop when older, after the death
of his father.
124:1.12 (1368.1) When work and caravan
travel were slack, Jesus made many trips with his father on
pleasure or business to near-by Cana, Endor, and Nain. Even
as a lad he frequently visited Sepphoris, only a little over
three miles from Nazareth to the northwest, and from 4 B.C.
to about A.D. 25 the capital of Galilee and one of the residences
of Herod Antipas.
124:1.13 (1368.2) Jesus continued to grow
physically, intellectually, socially, and spiritually. His trips
away from home did much to give him a better and more generous
understanding of his own family, and by this time even his parents
were beginning to learn from him as well as to teach him. Jesus
was an original thinker and a skillful teacher, even in his
youth. He was in constant collision with the so-called ¡°oral
law,¡± but he always sought to adapt himself to the practices
of his family. He got along fairly well with the children of
his age, but he often grew discouraged with their slow-acting
minds. Before he was ten years old, he had become the leader
of a group of seven lads who formed themselves into a society
for promoting the acquirements of manhood ¡ª physical, intellectual,
and religious. Among these boys Jesus succeeded in introducing
many new games and various improved methods of physical recreation.

2. The Tenth Year
(A.D. 4)
124:2.1 (1368.3) It was the fifth of July,
the first Sabbath of the month, when Jesus, while strolling
through the countryside with his father, first gave expression
to feelings and ideas which indicated that he was becoming self-conscious
of the unusual nature of his life mission. Joseph listened attentively
to the momentous words of his son but made few comments; he
volunteered no information. The next day Jesus had a similar
but longer talk with his mother. Mary likewise listened to the
pronouncements of the lad, but neither did she volunteer any
information. It was almost two years before Jesus again spoke
to his parents concerning this increasing revelation within
his own consciousness regarding the nature of his personality
and the character of his mission on earth.
124:2.2 (1368.4) He entered the advanced
school of the synagogue in August. At school he was constantly
creating trouble by the questions he persisted in asking. Increasingly
he kept all Nazareth in more or less of a hubbub. His parents
were loath to forbid his asking these disquieting questions,
and his chief teacher was greatly intrigued by the lad¡¯s curiosity,
insight, and hunger for knowledge.
124:2.3 (1368.5) Jesus¡¯ playmates saw nothing
supernatural in his conduct; in most ways he was altogether
like themselves. His interest in study was somewhat above the
average but not wholly unusual. He did ask more questions at
school than others in his class.
124:2.4 (1368.6) Perhaps his most unusual
and outstanding trait was his unwillingness to fight for his
rights. Since he was such a well-developed lad for his age,
it seemed strange to his playfellows that he was disinclined
to defend himself even from injustice or when subjected to personal
abuse. As it happened, he did not suffer much on account of
this trait because of the friendship of Jacob, a neighbor boy,
who was one year older. He was the son of the stone mason, a
business associate of Joseph. Jacob was a great admirer of Jesus
and made it his business to see that no one was permitted to
impose upon Jesus because of his aversion to physical combat.
Several times older and uncouth youths attacked Jesus, relying
upon his reputed docility, but they always suffered swift and
certain retribution at the hands of his self-appointed champion
and ever-ready defender, Jacob the stone mason¡¯s son.
124:2.5 (1369.1) Jesus was the generally
accepted leader of the Nazareth lads who stood for the higher
ideals of their day and generation. He was really loved by his
youthful associates, not only because he was fair, but also
because he possessed a rare and understanding sympathy that
betokened love and bordered on discreet compassion.
124:2.6 (1369.2) This year he began to show
a marked preference for the company of older persons. He delighted
in talking over things cultural, educational, social, economic,
political, and religious with older minds, and his depth of
reasoning and keenness of observation so charmed his adult associates
that they were always more than willing to visit with him. Until
he became responsible for the support of the home, his parents
were constantly seeking to influence him to associate with those
of his own age, or more nearly his age, rather than with older
and better-informed individuals for whom he evinced such a preference.
124:2.7 (1369.3) Late this year he had a
fishing experience of two months with his uncle on the Sea of
Galilee, and he was very successful. Before attaining manhood,
he had become an expert fisherman.
124:2.8 (1369.4) His physical development
continued; he was an advanced and privileged pupil at school;
he got along fairly well at home with his younger brothers and
sisters, having the advantage of being three and one-half years
older than the oldest of the other children. He was well thought
of in Nazareth except by the parents of some of the duller children,
who often spoke of Jesus as being too pert, as lacking in proper
humility and youthful reserve. He manifested a growing tendency
to direct the play activities of his youthful associates into
more serious and thoughtful channels. He was a born teacher
and simply could not refrain from so functioning, even when
supposedly engaged in play.
124:2.9 (1369.5) Joseph early began to instruct
Jesus in the diverse means of gaining a livelihood, explaining
the advantages of agriculture over industry and trade. Galilee
was a more beautiful and prosperous district than Judea, and
it cost only about one fourth as much to live there as in Jerusalem
and Judea. It was a province of agricultural villages and thriving
industrial cities, containing more than two hundred towns of
over five thousand population and thirty of over fifteen thousand.
124:2.10 (1369.6) When on his first trip
with his father to observe the fishing industry on the lake
of Galilee, Jesus had just about made up his mind to become
a fisherman; but close association with his father¡¯s vocation
later on influenced him to become a carpenter, while still later
a combination of influences led him to the final choice of becoming
a religious teacher of a new order.

3. The Eleventh
Year (A.D. 5)
124:3.1 (1369.7) Throughout this year the
lad continued to make trips away from home with his father,
but he also frequently visited his uncle¡¯s farm and occasionally
went over to Magdala to engage in fishing with the uncle who
made his headquarters near that city.
124:3.2 (1369.8) Joseph and Mary were often
tempted to show some special favoritism for Jesus or otherwise
to betray their knowledge that he was a child of promise, a
son of destiny. But both of his parents were extraordinarily
wise and sagacious in all these matters. The few times they
did in any manner exhibit any preference for him, even in the
slightest degree, the lad was quick to refuse all such special
consideration.
124:3.3 (1370.1) Jesus spent considerable
time at the caravan supply shop, and by conversing with the
travelers from all parts of the world, he acquired a store of
information about international affairs that was amazing, considering
his age. This was the last year in which he enjoyed much free
play and youthful joyousness. From this time on difficulties
and responsibilities rapidly multiplied in the life of this
youth.
124:3.4 (1370.2) On Wednesday evening, June
24, A.D. 5, Jude was born. Complications attended the birth
of this, the seventh child. Mary was so very ill for several
weeks that Joseph remained at home. Jesus was very much occupied
with errands for his father and with many duties occasioned
by his mother¡¯s serious illness. Never again did this youth
find it possible to return to the childlike attitude of his
earlier years. From the time of his mother¡¯s illness¡ª just before
he was eleven years old ¡ª he was compelled to assume the responsibilities
of the first-born son and to do all this one or two full years
before these burdens should normally have fallen on his shoulders.
124:3.5 (1370.3) The chazan spent one evening
each week with Jesus, helping him to master the Hebrew scriptures.
He was greatly interested in the progress of his promising pupil;
therefore was he willing to assist him in many ways. This Jewish
pedagogue exerted a great influence upon this growing mind,
but he was never able to comprehend why Jesus was so indifferent
to all his suggestions regarding the prospects of going to Jerusalem
to continue his education under the learned rabbis.
124:3.6 (1370.4) About the middle of May
the lad accompanied his father on a business trip to Scythopolis,
the chief Greek city of the Decapolis, the ancient Hebrew city
of Beth-shean. On the way Joseph recounted much of the olden
history of King Saul, the Philistines, and the subsequent events
of Israel¡¯s turbulent history. Jesus was tremendously impressed
with the clean appearance and well-ordered arrangement of this
so-called heathen city. He marveled at the open-air theater
and admired the beautiful marble temple dedicated to the worship
of the ¡°heathen¡± gods. Joseph was much perturbed by the lad¡¯s
enthusiasm and sought to counteract these favorable impressions
by extolling the beauty and grandeur of the Jewish temple at
Jerusalem. Jesus had often gazed curiously upon this magnificent
Greek city from the hill of Nazareth and had many times inquired
about its extensive public works and ornate buildings, but his
father had always sought to avoid answering these questions.
Now they were face to face with the beauties of this gentile
city, and Joseph could not gracefully ignore Jesus¡¯ inquiries.
124:3.7 (1370.5) It so happened that just
at this time the annual competitive games and public demonstrations
of physical prowess between the Greek cities of the Decapolis
were in progress at the Scythopolis amphitheater, and Jesus
was insistent that his father take him to see the games, and
he was so insistent that Joseph hesitated to deny him. The boy
was thrilled with the games and entered most heartily into the
spirit of the demonstrations of physical development and athletic
skill. Joseph was inexpressibly shocked to observe his son¡¯s
enthusiasm as he beheld these exhibitions of ¡°heathen¡± vaingloriousness.
After the games were finished, Joseph received the surprise
of his life when he heard Jesus express his approval of them
and suggest that it would be good for the young men of Nazareth
if they could be thus benefited by wholesome outdoor physical
activities. Joseph talked earnestly and long with Jesus concerning
the evil nature of such practices, but he well knew that the
lad was unconvinced.
124:3.8 (1371.1) The only time Jesus ever
saw his father angry with him was that night in their room at
the inn when, in the course of their discussions, the boy so
far forgot the trends of Jewish thought as to suggest that they
go back home and work for the building of an amphitheater at
Nazareth. When Joseph heard his first-born son express such
un-Jewish sentiments, he forgot his usual calm demeanor and,
seizing Jesus by the shoulder, angrily exclaimed, ¡°My son, never
again let me hear you give utterance to such an evil thought
as long as you live.¡± Jesus was startled by his father¡¯s display
of emotion; he had never before been made to feel the personal
sting of his father¡¯s indignation and was astonished and shocked
beyond expression. He only replied, ¡°Very well, my father, it
shall be so.¡± And never again did the boy even in the slightest
manner allude to the games and other athletic activities of
the Greeks as long as his father lived.
124:3.9 (1371.2) Later on, Jesus saw the
Greek amphitheater at Jerusalem and learned how hateful such
things were from the Jewish point of view. Nevertheless, throughout
his life he endeavored to introduce the idea of wholesome recreation
into his personal plans and, as far as Jewish practice would
permit, into the later program of regular activities for his
twelve apostles.
124:3.10 (1371.3) At the end of this eleventh
year Jesus was a vigorous, well-developed, moderately humorous,
and fairly lighthearted youth, but from this year on he was
more and more given to peculiar seasons of profound meditation
and serious contemplation. He was much given to thinking about
how he was to carry out his obligations to his family and at
the same time be obedient to the call of his mission to the
world; already he had conceived that his ministry was not to
be limited to the betterment of the Jewish people.

4. The Twelfth
Year (A.D. 6)
124:4.1 (1371.4) This was an eventful year
in Jesus¡¯ life. He continued to make progress at school and
was indefatigable in his study of nature, while increasingly
he prosecuted his study of the methods whereby men make a living.
He began doing regular work in the home carpenter shop and was
permitted to manage his own earnings, a very unusual arrangement
to obtain in a Jewish family. This year he also learned the
wisdom of keeping such matters a secret in the family. He was
becoming conscious of the way in which he had caused trouble
in the village, and henceforth he became increasingly discreet
in concealing everything which might cause him to be regarded
as different from his fellows.
124:4.2 (1371.5) Throughout this year he
experienced many seasons of uncertainty, if not actual doubt,
regarding the nature of his mission. His naturally developing
human mind did not yet fully grasp the reality of his dual nature.
The fact that he had a single personality rendered it difficult
for his consciousness to recognize the double origin of those
factors which composed the nature associated with that selfsame
personality.
124:4.3 (1371.6) From this time on he became
more successful in getting along with his brothers and sisters.
He was increasingly tactful, always compassionate and considerate
of their welfare and happiness, and enjoyed good relations with
them up to the beginning of his public ministry. To be more
explicit: He got along with James, Miriam, and the two younger
(as yet unborn) children, Amos and Ruth, most excellently. He
always got along with Martha fairly well. What trouble he had
at home largely arose out of friction with Joseph and Jude,
particularly the latter.
124:4.4 (1372.1) It was a trying experience
for Joseph and Mary to undertake the rearing of this unprecedented
combination of divinity and humanity, and they deserve great
credit for so faithfully and successfully discharging their
parental responsibilities. Increasingly Jesus¡¯ parents realized
that there was something superhuman resident within this eldest
son, but they never even faintly dreamed that this son of promise
was indeed and in truth the actual creator of this local universe
of things and beings. Joseph and Mary lived and died without
ever learning that their son Jesus really was the Universe Creator
incarnate in mortal flesh.
124:4.5 (1372.2) This year Jesus paid more
attention than ever to music, and he continued to teach the
home school for his brothers and sisters. It was at about this
time that the lad became keenly conscious of the difference
between the viewpoints of Joseph and Mary regarding the nature
of his mission. He pondered much over his parents¡¯ differing
opinions, often hearing their discussions when they thought
he was sound asleep. More and more he inclined to the view of
his father, so that his mother was destined to be hurt by the
realization that her son was gradually rejecting her guidance
in matters having to do with his life career. And, as the years
passed, this breach of understanding widened. Less and less
did Mary comprehend the significance of Jesus¡¯ mission, and
increasingly was this good mother hurt by the failure of her
favorite son to fulfill her fond expectations.
124:4.6 (1372.3) Joseph entertained a growing
belief in the spiritual nature of Jesus¡¯ mission. And but for
other and more important reasons it does seem unfortunate that
he could not have lived to see the fulfillment of his concept
of Jesus¡¯ bestowal on earth.
124:4.7 (1372.4) During his last year at
school, when he was twelve years old, Jesus remonstrated with
his father about the Jewish custom of touching the bit of parchment
nailed upon the doorpost each time on going into, or coming
out of, the house and then kissing the finger that touched the
parchment. As a part of this ritual it was customary to say,
¡°The Lord shall preserve our going out and our coming in, from
this time forth and even forevermore.¡± Joseph and Mary had repeatedly
instructed Jesus as to the reasons for not making images or
drawing pictures, explaining that such creations might be used
for idolatrous purposes. Though Jesus failed fully to grasp
their proscriptions against images and pictures, he possessed
a high concept of consistency and therefore pointed out to his
father the essentially idolatrous nature of this habitual obeisance
to the doorpost parchment. And Joseph removed the parchment
after Jesus had thus remonstrated with him.
124:4.8 (1372.5) As time passed, Jesus did
much to modify their practice of religious forms, such as the
family prayers and other customs. And it was possible to do
many such things at Nazareth, for its synagogue was under the
influence of a liberal school of rabbis, exemplified by the
renowned Nazareth teacher, Jose.
124:4.9 (1372.6) Throughout this and the
two following years Jesus suffered great mental distress as
the result of his constant effort to adjust his personal views
of religious practices and social amenities to the established
beliefs of his parents. He was distraught by the conflict between
the urge to be loyal to his own convictions and the conscientious
admonition of dutiful submission to his parents; his supreme
conflict was between two great commands which were uppermost
in his youthful mind. The one was: ¡°Be loyal to the dictates
of your highest convictions of truth and righteousness.¡± The
other was: ¡°Honor your father and mother, for they have given
you life and the nurture thereof.¡± However, he never shirked
the responsibility of making the necessary daily adjustments
between these realms of loyalty to one¡¯s personal convictions
and duty toward one¡¯s family, and he achieved the satisfaction
of effecting an increasingly harmonious blending of personal
convictions and family obligations into a masterful concept
of group solidarity based upon loyalty, fairness, tolerance,
and love.

5. His Thirteenth
Year (A.D. 7)
124:5.1 (1373.1) In this year the lad of
Nazareth passed from boyhood to the beginning of young manhood;
his voice began to change, and other features of mind and body
gave evidence of the oncoming status of manhood.
124:5.2 (1373.2) On Sunday night, January
9, A.D. 7, his baby brother, Amos, was born. Jude was not yet
two years of age, and the baby sister, Ruth, was yet to come;
so it may be seen that Jesus had a sizable family of small children
left to his watchcare when his father met his accidental death
the following year.
124:5.3 (1373.3) It was about the middle
of February that Jesus became humanly assured that he was destined
to perform a mission on earth for the enlightenment of man and
the revelation of God. Momentous decisions, coupled with far-reaching
plans, were formulating in the mind of this youth, who was,
to outward appearances, an average Jewish lad of Nazareth. The
intelligent life of all Nebadon looked on with fascination and
amazement as all this began to unfold in the thinking and acting
of the now adolescent carpenter¡¯s son.
124:5.4 (1373.4) On the first day of the
week, March 20, A.D. 7, Jesus graduated from the course of training
in the local school connected with the Nazareth synagogue. This
was a great day in the life of any ambitious Jewish family,
the day when the first-born son was pronounced a ¡°son of the
commandment¡± and the ransomed first-born of the Lord God of
Israel, a ¡°child of the Most High¡± and servant of the Lord of
all the earth.
124:5.5 (1373.5) Friday of the week before,
Joseph had come over from Sepphoris, where he was in charge
of the work on a new public building, to be present on this
glad occasion. Jesus¡¯ teacher confidently believed that his
alert and diligent pupil was destined to some outstanding career,
some distinguished mission. The elders, notwithstanding all
their trouble with Jesus¡¯ nonconformist tendencies, were very
proud of the lad and had already begun laying plans which would
enable him to go to Jerusalem to continue his education in the
renowned Hebrew academies.
124:5.6 (1373.6) As Jesus heard these plans
discussed from time to time, he became increasingly sure that
he would never go to Jerusalem to study with the rabbis. But
he little dreamed of the tragedy, so soon to occur, which would
insure the abandonment of all such plans by causing him to assume
the responsibility for the support and direction of a large
family, presently to consist of five brothers and three sisters
as well as his mother and himself. Jesus had a larger and longer
experience rearing this family than was accorded to Joseph,
his father; and he did measure up to the standard which he subsequently
set for himself: to become a wise, patient, understanding, and
effective teacher and eldest brother to this family¡ªhis family¡ªso
suddenly sorrow-stricken and so unexpectedly bereaved.

6. The
Journey to Jerusalem
124:6.1 (1374.1) Jesus, having now reached
the threshold of young manhood and having been formally graduated
from the synagogue schools, was qualified to proceed to Jerusalem
with his parents to participate with them in the celebration
of his first Passover. The Passover feast of this year fell
on Saturday, April 9, A.D. 7. A considerable company (103) made
ready to depart from Nazareth early Monday morning, April 4,
for Jerusalem. They journeyed south toward Samaria, but on reaching
Jezreel, they turned east, going around Mount Gilboa into the
Jordan valley in order to avoid passing through Samaria. Joseph
and his family would have enjoyed going down through Samaria
by way of Jacob¡¯s well and Bethel, but since the Jews disliked
to deal with the Samaritans, they decided to go with their neighbors
by way of the Jordan valley.
124:6.2 (1374.2) The much-dreaded Archelaus
had been deposed, and they had little to fear in taking Jesus
to Jerusalem. Twelve years had passed since the first Herod
had sought to destroy the babe of Bethlehem, and no one would
now think of associating that affair with this obscure lad of
Nazareth.
124:6.3 (1374.3) Before reaching the Jezreel
junction, and as they journeyed on, very soon, on the left,
they passed the ancient village of Shunem, and Jesus heard again
about the most beautiful maiden of all Israel who once lived
there and also about the wonderful works Elisha performed there.
In passing by Jezreel, Jesus¡¯ parents recounted the doings of
Ahab and Jezebel and the exploits of Jehu. In passing around
Mount Gilboa, they talked much about Saul, who took his life
on the slopes of this mountain, King David, and the associations
of this historic spot.
124:6.4 (1374.4) As they rounded the base
of Gilboa, the pilgrims could see the Greek city of Scythopolis
on the right. They gazed upon the marble structures from a distance
but went not near the gentile city lest they so defile themselves
that they could not participate in the forthcoming solemn and
sacred ceremonies of the Passover at Jerusalem. Mary could not
understand why neither Joseph nor Jesus would speak of Scythopolis.
She did not know about their controversy of the previous year
as they had never revealed this episode to her.
124:6.5 (1374.5) The road now led immediately
down into the tropical Jordan valley, and soon Jesus was to
have exposed to his wondering gaze the crooked and ever-winding
Jordan with its glistening and rippling waters as it flowed
down toward the Dead Sea. They laid aside their outer garments
as they journeyed south in this tropical valley, enjoying the
luxurious fields of grain and the beautiful oleanders laden
with their pink blossoms, while massive snow-capped Mount Hermon
stood far to the north, in majesty looking down on the historic
valley. A little over three hours¡¯ travel from opposite Scythopolis
they came upon a bubbling spring, and here they camped for the
night, out under the starlit heavens.
124:6.6 (1374.6) On their second day¡¯s journey
they passed by where the Jabbok, from the east, flows into the
Jordan, and looking east up this river valley, they recounted
the days of Gideon, when the Midianites poured into this region
to overrun the land. Toward the end of the second day¡¯s journey
they camped near the base of the highest mountain overlooking
the Jordan valley, Mount Sartaba, whose summit was occupied
by the Alexandrian fortress where Herod had imprisoned one of
his wives and buried his two strangled sons.
124:6.7 (1375.1) The third day they passed
by two villages which had been recently built by Herod and noted
their superior architecture and their beautiful palm gardens.
By nightfall they reached Jericho, where they remained until
the morrow. That evening Joseph, Mary, and Jesus walked a mile
and a half to the site of the ancient Jericho, where Joshua,
for whom Jesus was named, had performed his renowned exploits,
according to Jewish tradition.
124:6.8 (1375.2) By the fourth and last
day¡¯s journey the road was a continuous procession of pilgrims.
They now began to climb the hills leading up to Jerusalem. As
they neared the top, they could look across the Jordan to the
mountains beyond and south over the sluggish waters of the Dead
Sea. About halfway up to Jerusalem, Jesus gained his first view
of the Mount of Olives (the region to be so much a part of his
subsequent life), and Joseph pointed out to him that the Holy
City lay just beyond this ridge, and the lad¡¯s heart beat fast
with joyous anticipation of soon beholding the city and house
of his heavenly Father.
124:6.9 (1375.3) On the eastern slopes of
Olivet they paused for rest in the borders of a little village
called Bethany. The hospitable villagers poured forth to minister
to the pilgrims, and it happened that Joseph and his family
had stopped near the house of one Simon, who had three children
about the same age as Jesus ¡ª Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. They
invited the Nazareth family in for refreshment, and a lifelong
friendship sprang up between the two families. Many times afterward,
in his eventful life, Jesus stopped in this home.
124:6.10 (1375.4) They pressed on, soon
standing on the brink of Olivet, and Jesus saw for the first
time (in his memory) the Holy City, the pretentious palaces,
and the inspiring temple of his Father. At no time in his life
did Jesus ever experience such a purely human thrill as that
which at this time so completely enthralled him as he stood
there on this April afternoon on the Mount of Olives, drinking
in his first view of Jerusalem. And in after years, on this
same spot he stood and wept over the city which was about to
reject another prophet, the last and the greatest of her heavenly
teachers.
124:6.11 (1375.5) But they hurried on to
Jerusalem. It was now Thursday afternoon. On reaching the city,
they journeyed past the temple, and never had Jesus beheld such
throngs of human beings. He meditated deeply on how these Jews
had assembled here from the uttermost parts of the known world.
124:6.12 (1375.6) Soon they reached the
place prearranged for their accommodation during the Passover
week, the large home of a well-to-do relative of Mary¡¯s, one
who knew something of the early history of both John and Jesus,
through Zacharias. The following day, the day of preparation,
they made ready for the appropriate celebration of the Passover
Sabbath.
124:6.13 (1375.7) While all Jerusalem was
astir in preparation for the Passover, Joseph found time to
take his son around to visit the academy where it had been arranged
for him to resume his education two years later, as soon as
he reached the required age of fifteen. Joseph was truly puzzled
when he observed how little interest Jesus evinced in all these
carefully laid plans.
124:6.14 (1375.8) Jesus was profoundly impressed
by the temple and all the associated services and other activities.
For the first time since he was four years old, he was too much
preoccupied with his own meditations to ask many questions.
He did, however, ask his father several embarrassing questions
(as he had on previous occasions) as to why the heavenly Father
required the slaughter of so many innocent and helpless animals.
And his father well knew from the expression on the lad¡¯s face
that his answers and attempts at explanation were unsatisfactory
to his deep-thinking and keen-reasoning son.
124:6.15 (1376.1) On the day before the
Passover Sabbath, flood tides of spiritual illumination swept
through the mortal mind of Jesus and filled his human heart
to overflowing with affectionate pity for the spiritually blind
and morally ignorant multitudes assembled for the celebration
of the ancient Passover commemoration. This was one of the most
extraordinary days that the Son of God spent in the flesh; and
during the night, for the first time in his earth career, there
appeared to him an assigned messenger from Salvington, commissioned
by Immanuel, who said: ¡°The hour has come. It is time that you
began to be about your Father¡¯s business.¡±
124:6.16 (1376.2) And so, even ere the heavy
responsibilities of the Nazareth family descended upon his youthful
shoulders, there now arrived the celestial messenger to remind
this lad, not quite thirteen years of age, that the hour had
come to begin the resumption of the responsibilities of a universe.
This was the first act of a long succession of events which
finally culminated in the completion of the Son¡¯s bestowal on
Urantia and the replacing of ¡°the government of a universe on
his human-divine shoulders.¡±
124:6.17 (1376.3) As time passed, the mystery
of the incarnation became, to all of us, more and more unfathomable.
We could hardly comprehend that this lad of Nazareth was the
creator of all Nebadon. Neither do we nowadays understand how
the spirit of this same Creator Son and the spirit of his Paradise
Father are associated with the souls of mankind. With the passing
of time, we could see that his human mind was increasingly discerning
that, while he lived his life in the flesh, in spirit on his
shoulders rested the responsibility of a universe.
124:6.18 (1376.4) Thus ends the career of
the Nazareth lad, and begins the narrative of that adolescent
youth ¡ª the increasingly self-conscious divine human ¡ª who now
begins the contemplation of his world career as he strives to
integrate his expanding life purpose with the desires of his
parents and his obligations to his family and the society of
his day and age.
