Josu's voice couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger, and then he asked, "What will happen to Fayol Judas?"
Judah continued to answer: "He hurt Amon because of his selfish desires, so he hated Amon even more and was afraid of Amon's revenge, so he continued to frame Amon. Just then Amon was assigned by the Temple of Isis and secretly went to Syria, the Kingdom of Hatti. When the city-state was investigating military and political information, Fayol Judah wrote to the financial officer of the Syrian city-state, not only leaking military secrets, but also betraying Amon's identity.
He hoped that Amon would die at the hands of the enemy and never come back. But Amon returned after completing his mission. When he returned to the cape city-state, Fayol Judah hanged himself in his room at night, leaving a suicide note and thirty silver coins at his feet. Whatever his sins in that life, death is the end. Four hundred years later, I met you and accepted the guidance of true faith! "
Jesus sighed and said, "Get up! I didn't ask you to come here today to ask about things that have nothing to do with you four hundred years ago. Please tell me, a few days ago, did the elders of the Aroha Temple send Someone is trying to buy you off?"
Judas: "Yes, there is such a thing. I refused, but I didn't tell anyone, and it's all hidden from your eyes."
Jesus suddenly changed the subject and said, "I know every disciple very well. Your achievements in this life have passed the test of life and death, and the conviction in your soul is clear and firm. But your blood is too weak, It is very difficult to cultivate to the end of the human path in this life, and even if you reach the end, you will not be able to pass the final test, and the best result is to keep the soul imprint of this life in the reincarnation."
Judas was taken aback, raised his head and said, "You called me alone to tell me this, is this your last order?"
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Jesus: "The last order? It seems that you already know what kind of path I have chosen and what kind of fate I will accept. Do you think I called you here to explain the last thing? That's right, That's it! But first I'm going to ask you a question, and please stand up and answer."
Judas stood up and said, "Dear guide, please ask."
Yue Jesus looked up at the starry sky and said: "In the history of Tianshu Continent, there are many people with lofty ideals. For the sake of their beliefs, they are not afraid of any authority or enemy. Even if they are hurt or even sacrifice their lives, they will never give up or compromise. You admire such people?"
Judah nodded sincerely: "Yes, I admire! For example, John the Baptist who died in Salem."
Jesus changed his tone and said, "Then do you understand? It is certainly admirable to sacrifice yourself to uphold your beliefs and leave a reputation that has been extolled through the ages; but sometimes, it is not the real way to seek proof."
Judas frowned and said, "I don't understand, please teach me."
Jesus: "Let me tell you a story, after you listen to it, think about it—"
Once upon a time there was a fishing village by the sea. Most of the men in the village were fishermen and they often went fishing. Since the fish farm is not near the sea, it often takes several days to go back and forth, leaving only the women at home alone. In such an environment, women must abide by women's morals to maintain harmony in the village. Chastity has become a virtue that has been extolled throughout the ages, and even a reputation that is more important than life.
There was once a widow who lit an ever-burning lamp in front of her bedroom window every day from night to dawn to show her innocence. When the widow passed away, the elders of the village called everyone to preside over the funeral ceremony, and she enjoyed the highest honor in her life. Since then, a tradition has been formed in the village. When a man goes out to fish and cannot return at night, his wife lights a lamp in front of the bedroom window and keeps it on all night. symbol.
One day, the man of a certain family went fishing and couldn't come back that night, so the woman lit the oil lamp in the bedroom according to tradition, and put the lamp on the window sill so that everyone in the village could see it. On that night, a monk came into her bedroom to ask the woman for sex, but the woman refused. But the apprentice stood in front of the window and said: "If you refuse me, I will blow out this lamp and take it away."
If the lights that stay on all night are extinguished, it will be a symbol of disobedience to women. She will be discriminated against and reviled by everyone in the village, and she will never be able to raise her head. For her, this is something more terrible than death. The woman was so terrified that she gave in.
After the story was finished, Jesus looked down at Judas Road: "Dear disciple, do you understand?"
Judas nodded: "Dear guide, I understand."
Jesus looked up at the starry sky again and said with emotion: "There is a kind of people in the world whose beliefs are extremely firm. They regard reputation as their life and are not afraid of coercion and temptation. But if they regard the reputation recorded in history as everything, it even exceeds the guarded Faith itself will often succumb. It is difficult for many virtuous and virtuous people in history to pass this hurdle, let alone a woman? The guidance of faith is like a light that illuminates the soul. But if this light If it is only regarded as an external form and deviates from the original meaning it protects, then not only will it not be able to protect the woman, but it will hurt her instead."
Judas lowered his head and said again: "Dear guide, I really understand!"
However, Jesus sighed and said: "In this life, I have already clarified the direction of the road and achieved the results of my perception, but after all, I have not completed the final verification. Things in the world cannot be completely natural and without traces. .After I return to the kingdom of heaven, I still need to complete the experience and practice of the reincarnation of this life, and wait for your arrival in the kingdom of heaven before I can take that unknown step.”
…
The rest of the disciples didn't know what Josu had talked to Judas alone. They found Wel-Fromm according to Josuke's instructions. As expected, Weir-Fromm had prepared a quiet courtyard and a sumptuous table. Let Jesus and his disciples enjoy undisturbed dinner. There is no one else here, and even Weir Fromm himself has avoided it knowingly.
When it was time for dinner, Jesus returned with Judas. After working for seven days in a row, all the disciples were very satisfied with the trip to Salem. They all felt that they had gained something they had never done before, and they would go back tomorrow. Everyone was happily sitting at the table talking and laughing. Jesus looked at the disciples with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew the strengths and weaknesses of everyone here.
Because Jesus was barefoot, the disciples were also barefoot; because Jesus asked to be left alone tonight, there were no servants in this courtyard. Jesus saw that everyone's feet were covered with dust, so he went to the courtyard, picked up the water pitcher and towels that had been prepared, and went into the house to clean the feet of the disciples one by one.
The disciples were either ashamed or flattered, and tried to stop Jesus from doing this. But Jesus insisted on finishing the task, and then said: "Do you think it is not acceptable to wash your feet as me? In fact, the guidance I give you is more precious than dusting off your feet. You Accepted. Don't be disturbed, just know how to receive the blessing."
The dinner began, and Jesus distributed food to the disciples, and he gave the most delicious food to Judas. Judas seemed a little flustered, and accidentally knocked over the salt shaker in front of him when he reached out to pick it up. The disciples began to eat, and asked Jesus to break the bread and said, "This is like my flesh and blood." Then he picked up a glass of wine and said, "This is like my blood."
All the disciples didn't understand what he meant, and they all felt that their leader was a bit strange today. But Judas was always out of his mind, and quickly finished his food. Jesus looked at him and said, "Go and do what you want to do." So Judas left the courtyard and disappeared into the vast night.
Jesus said to the disciples again: "When I am not around, you may also forsake Me and sometimes get lost."
Peter blushed and stood up and said, "No! Honorable Guide, I don't know what will happen to others, but I will never do that!" The other disciples rushed to say the same thing.
Jesus shook his head, pointed to Peter and said, "Before the rooster crows tomorrow, you will say you don't know me three times." Then he said to the disciples, "It's not terrible to lose your soul. Time for this person. But don't forget the faith that I guide, it will illuminate the soul and help you find your way."
…
After dinner, Jesus left the courtyard and walked out of the city. There was a hill full of olive trees whose leaves were a pale silvery gray. The forest was very quiet, and Jesus came here to meditate and pray while avoiding the disturbing crowd. He asked Jesus not to pray for himself, because he is God, but he told his disciples what real prayer is, which is also a ritual in the world.
The three disciples, Peter, James and John, followed Jesus. They knew that there were people in Salem who were hostile to Jesus. The meeting scene of Moses and Elijah. Jesus in prayer didn't seem to need the protection of his disciples. They were already very tired and fell asleep without knowing it.
Not long after, the three disciples were awakened by Jesus, only to hear the Holy Son say: "Stay awake with me and wait for what is about to happen. Someone is walking towards us."
The three disciples polished their sleepy eyes and saw a faint light appearing in the shadow of the olive tree. A group of armed soldiers with torches came towards them, and it was Judas who led the way.
In such a large city of Salem, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims sleep in the open at night. It is not easy to find the ordinary and unobtrusive Jesus. Even if you see his figure in the dark, it is impossible to recognize him. But Judas went straight to Josu, knelt down in front of him, bowed to the ground and kissed the back of Josu's feet. This action undoubtedly indicated the identity of Josu.
