P2033:4, 190:4.1
About half past four o'clock, at the home of one Flavius, the Master made
his sixth morontia appearance to some forty Greek believers there assembled.
While they were engaged in discussing the reports of the Master's resurrection,
he manifested himself in their midst, notwithstanding that the doors were
securely fastened, and speaking to them, said: "Peace be upon you. While the
Son of Man appeared on earth among the Jews, he came to minister to all men.
In the kingdom of my Father there shall be neither Jew nor gentile; you will
all be brethren -- the sons of God. Go you, therefore, to all the world, proclaiming
this gospel of salvation as you have received it from the ambassadors of the
kingdom, and I will fellowship you in the brotherhood of the Father's sons
of faith and truth." And when he had thus charged them, he took leave, and
they saw him no more. They remained within the house all evening; they were
too much overcome with awe and fear to venture forth. Neither did any of these
Greeks sleep that night; they stayed awake discussing these things and hoping
that the Master might again visit them. Among this group were many of the
Greeks who were at Gethsemane when the soldiers arrested Jesus and Judas betrayed
him with a kiss.
P2034:1, 190:4.2
Rumors of Jesus' resurrection and reports concerning the many appearances
to his followers are spreading rapidly, and the whole city is being wrought
up to a high pitch of excitement. Already the Master has appeared to his family,
to the women, and to the Greeks, and presently he manifests himself in the
midst of the apostles. The Sanhedrin is soon to begin the consideration of
these new problems which have been so suddenly thrust upon the Jewish rulers.
Jesus thinks much about his apostles but desires that they be left alone for
a few more hours of solemn reflection and thoughtful consideration before
he visits them.
