Mathew reported he had no one so he wrote about the things he liked to remember.

Mary Clopas’ eldest son, Joseph, gives Jesus a dressing down for abandoning his mother to ramble around Palestine.  His mother says she would give him a trashing if he were not the head of her household.  Jesus tells him he is leaving again on the morrow.

Jesus and 11 Apostles left for Bethlehem of Galilee. When they are gone Mary Clopas is distraught and comforted and restrained from tongue lashing her son.

As the travellers approach a village, they come across a heath fire that threatens to destroy both a village and wood.  Jesus puts the fire out with a single sentence ‘I want it.’  As usual he turns the experience into a parable. He says prudence is necessary in the spiritual life, a spark can destroy a soul.  They overnight in the village.

Sunday, July 22, 29 AD. Valtorta 4.440 JudasJudas’ thinking is revealed as he waits for Jesus’s mother whom he thinks is as foolish as her son.  He quotes Helkai, the powerful Pharisee, that everything is legal if we succeed in putting Jesus on the throne. 

Judas now knows that he might be damaging Jesus but says he would prefer to drown in the lake than do that. But he is also determined to make Jesus take the throne.

When he meets Mary, she demolishes his lies. She tells him that one of the swords piercing her heart will be his.  It is a most distressing scene.  Mary weeps as she works in the garden and kitchen.

July 22 -28, 29 AD.  Stayed in Bethlehem of Galilee.

Editor’s note:

Peter’s adopted son Jabez/Marjiam was orphaned when his parents died, apparently of over work imposed on them by the Pharisee Doras.  He was secretly adopted and provided for by his grandfather who was also overworked by the same employer to the point of being broken.  Between his parents death and being saved by Jesus, the young boy had to live in the woods. Orphans were sometimes evicted on the death of their parents or guardians.

Sunday, July 29, 29 AD. Valtorta 4.441. Jesus’ group arrived in Esdraelon. Marjiam had presents for his grandfather and had plans to buy his grandfather’s freedom from his master.  But the old man was near death.  In a beautiful death scene Jesus solemnly as Judge and Savior absolves him of all faults, omissions and negative feelings. I absolve you of everything, son. Go in peace.  They recite psalms 120 and 121.

Monday, July 30, 29 AD. Valtorta 4.442.  Depart Esdraelon in the evening for Mt. Tabor.  Jesus sends some of the Apostles to Nazerath with instructions for the women to me them in Tiberias.

They discuss Marjiam’s progress in the spiritual life, dwelling on his intentions and sacrifices. Jesus talks of how the Israelites tried to improve on the law and ended up killing it.

He explains there is just one precept -the love of God and neighbour and they cannot be lived as separate entities.  The precept to love is the only precept that subsists in heaven. A soul dies if it loses either the love of God or neighbour.

Jesus says that at the end of the world, there will be no other virtue just Charity.  There will be just one heaven, one reward, God, not one God for the different religions just one heaven and one God.  

Tuesday, July 31, 29 AD. Jesus sends instructions for the women disciples to close up the houses and where and when to join him.  They overnight in a grove and go to Tarichea from where they boat to Tiberias.
