27 But my example will not end with death. My body will be laid within a tomb in which no flesh has lain, symbolic of the purity of life in death. 28 And in the tomb I will remain three days in sweet communion with the Christ, and with my Father-God, and Mother-God. 29 And then, symbolic of the ascent of the soul to higher life, my flesh within the tomb will disappear; 30 Will be transmuted into higher form, and, in the presence of you all, I will ascend to God. 31 Then Jesus and the twelve went to a village by the sea. CHAPTER 128. _Jesus goes at night to a mountain to pray. His disciples and the villagers find him and he teaches them for three days. Feeds four thousand people. The Christines go to Cæsarea-Philippi. They consider the personality of Christ. Peter is chosen as apostolic leader._ Now, in the night while the disciples slept, lo, Jesus rose and went alone into a mountain pass, six miles away, to pray. 2 And in the morning when the twelve awoke they could not find the Lord, and all the people of the village sought, and when the sun had passed its highest point they found him in the mountain pass. 3 And multitudes of people came and brought their sick, and Jesus taught and healed. 4 And when the night came on the people would not go; they slept upon the ground that they might be a-near the Lord. 5 Three days and nights the multitudes remained, and none had aught to eat. 6 And Jesus had compassion and he said, If I should send the multitudes away they might not reach their homes, for they are faint, for some have journeyed many miles. 7 And his disciples said, Where shall we get enough of food to feed them all? There are four thousand men, besides the women and the little ones. 8 And Jesus said, How many loaves have you? 9 They answered, Seven, and some little fish. 10 And Jesus said, Go to, and seat the people as you seated them the other day when all the multitudes were fed, in companies of twelve. 11 And when the people were sat down in companies of twelve the loaves and fish were brought. 12 And Jesus looked to heaven and spoke the Word; and then he broke the seven loaves in little bits, and likewise cut the fish. 13 And every bit of bread became a loaf, and every piece of fish became a fish. 14 The twelve went forth and gave to every one; the people ate and they were filled; and all the fragments that were left were gathered up, and there were seven baskets full. 15 And then the people went their ways, and Jesus and the twelve took boats and came to Dalmanatha by the sea. 16 Here they remained for many days, and Jesus told the twelve about the inner light that cannot fail; 17 About the kingdom of the Christ within the soul; about the power of faith; about the secret of the resurrection of the dead; about immortal life, and how the living may go forth and help the dead.
