The Decapolis Tour

159:0.1When Je­sus and the twelve ar­rived at Ma­g­a­dan Park, they found await­ing them a group of al­most one hun­dred evan­ge­lists and dis­ci­ples, in­clud­ing the women’s corps, and they were ready im­me­di­ately to be­gin the teach­ing and preach­ing tour of the cities of the De­capo­lis.

159:0.2On this Thurs­day morn­ing, Au­gust 18, the Mas­ter called his fol­low­ers to­gether and di­rected that each of the apos­tles should as­so­ciate him­self with one of the twelve evan­ge­lists, and that with oth­ers of the evan­ge­lists they should go out in twelve groups to la­bor in the cities and vil­lages of the De­capo­lis. The women’s corps and oth­ers of the dis­ci­ples he di­rected to re­main with him. Je­sus al­lot­ted four weeks to this tour, in­struct­ing his fol­low­ers to re­turn to Ma­g­a­dan not later than Fri­day, Septem­ber 16. He prom­ised to visit them of­ten dur­ing this time. In the course of this month these twelve groups la­bored in Gerasa, Gamala, Hip­pos, Za­phon, Gadara, Abila, Edrei, Phil­a­del­phia, Hes­h­bon, Dium, Scythopo­lis, and many other cities. Through­out this tour no mir­a­cles of heal­ing or other ex­traor­di­nary events oc­curred.
