5 If one is full of love he can do nothing else than worship God; for God is love. 6 If one is full of love, he cannot kill; he cannot falsely testify; he cannot covet; can do naught but honor God and man. 7 If one is full of love he does not need commands of any kind. 8 And Rabbi Barachia said, Your words are seasoned with the salt of wisdom that is from above. Who is the teacher who has opened up this truth to you? 9 And Jesus said, I do not know that any teacher opens up this truth for me. It seems to me that truth was never shut; that it was always opened up, for truth is one and it is everywhere. 10 And if we open up the windows of our minds the truth will enter in and make herself at home; for truth can find her way through any crevice, any window, any open door. 11 The rabbi said, What hand is strong enough to open up the windows and the doors of mind so truth can enter in? 12 And Jesus said, It seems to me that love, the golden cord that binds the Ten Commands in one, is strong enough to open any human door so that the truth can enter in and cause the heart to understand. 13 Now, in the evening Jesus and his mother sat alone, and Jesus said, 14 The rabbi seems to think that God is partial in his treatment of the sons of men; that Jews are favored and are blest above all other men. 15 I do not see how God can have his favorites and be just. 16 Are not Samaritans and Greeks and Romans just as much the children of the Holy One as are the Jews? 17 I think the Jews have built a wall about themselves, and they see nothing on the other side of it. 18 They do not know that flowers are blooming over there; that sowing times and reaping times belong to anybody but the Jews. 19 It surely would be well if we could break these barriers down so that the Jews might see that God has other children that are just as greatly blest. 20 I want to go from Jewry land and meet my kin in other countries of my Fatherland. CHAPTER 18. _Jesus at a feast in Jerusalem. Is grieved by the cruelties of the sacrificers. Appeals to Hillel, who sympathizes with him. He remains in the temple a year._ The great feast of the Jews was on, and Joseph, Mary and their son, and many of their kin, went to Jerusalem. The child was ten years old. 2 And Jesus watched the butchers kill the lambs and birds and burn them on the altar in the name of God. 3 His tender heart was shocked at this display of cruelty; he asked the serving priest, What is the purpose of this slaughter of the beasts and birds? Why do you burn their flesh before the Lord? 4 The priest replied, This is our sacrifice for sin. God has commanded us to do these things, and said that in these sacrifices all our sins are blotted out. 5 And Jesus said, Will you be kind enough to tell when God proclaimed that sins are blotted out by sacrifice of any kind?
