Morontia Appearances of Jesus

190:4.1About 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.

190:4.2Ru­mors 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.
