Jesus' Apostles Struggle to Understand His Mission
Excerpt: Chapter 24, Four Eventful Days in Capernaum
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.
Peter could not sleep that night either, and he got up shortly after Jesus had left. He woke up John and James, and the three of them went out looking for Jesus. They found him an hour or so later when he was praying. They wanted to know why he was so depressed after healing all of the people when they and everyone else were so excited. Jesus spent over four hours explaining to his three apostles what had happened at Zebedee's house and why a spiritual kingdom cannot be built with miracles and healing. He told them that he was praying for guidance, but again they did not understand most of what Jesus said. Meanwhile, as the morning progressed, a crowd of people, some sick and some just curious, gathered at Zebedee's house. They all wanted to see Jesus. The apostles did not know what to do, so they decided that while Simon Zello spoke to them, Andrew and some of the others would go find Jesus and bring him back to Zebedee's house.
