John's arrest was not surprising, as a staunch member of the Jewish Independence faction among the Jewish priesthood, his name had already been targeted by King Herod and the governor Pilate, two of the most powerful men in the Jewish kingdom.

King Herod said that although he was born in an embarrassing background, this generation of Herod does have the blood of the Jewish royal family, and his mother is a princess of the former Jewish royal family. This was not the case with the Doge of Judea, who had been ordered by the current Roman Emperor to suppress the independence faction in the Kingdom of Judea, and since his entry into the province of Judea, countless Jewish independence people have been arrested and killed.

And John was stiff-necked and refused to give in, and there were many people in Judaism who were willing to flatter Pilate, so under the careful framing of several parties, this famous priest was imprisoned and was about to be beheaded in the near future.

There was also a great difference of opinion among the Twelve Apostles on this matter.

John the Baptist is an indispensable aid to our development, and we must deliver him for the coming of the kingdom of the Lord. ”

Led by Judas, including Tatay and Simon and Jacob, they all strongly recommended that John be rescued by robbery, both of whom were members of the strong Zeaist Party, commonly known as the Dagger Party, and were the most radical patriotic group in Judaism, even trying to restore the country through assassination, while Jacob was a cousin of John and Hanna, and he certainly did not want to see his cousin die.

Judas's support for the robbery was even more simplistic, and he was keenly aware of the discord and disagreement among the Jewish priesthood.

Obviously, there is a great deal of controversy within the Jewish priesthood about whether or not to renounce such an independent Jewish priest, or that there are already two forces within the entire Jewish religion. One faction chose to support the independence of the Jews and did not want the Romans to interfere with their power, while the other faction feared the power of the Romans and believed that they should first withhold themselves.

Judas, who was level-headed and intelligent, realized that this would be a golden opportunity, and by taking advantage of the divisions within the Jewish priesthood, the church, which had been regarded as a small and inconspicuous sect within Judaism, would have the opportunity to leap forward and thrust into the political arena of the Jewish kingdom with the power of those Jewish priests.

It was never the King of Judea or the Roman governor who ruled the kingdom of Judaism, but the priests of Judaism, and with the support of those Jewish priests, even becoming the king of Judea was not a dream.

His Lord will be able to become the King of the Jews through this, and the kingdom of heaven will come to earth.

However, several disciples, such as Peter, felt that it was better to be patient and not to attract the attention of the Jewish priests and Roman officials at this time, while several disciples were hesitant and did not know what to do, and suggested that they wait for Hanna to wake up before deciding.

Several opinions kept clashing and could not be decided, and after a day in a coma...... Hanna awakens.

After waking up, Hana was silent for a long time, and finally he made a decision.

"Don't go to prison. ”

This opinion was completely unexpected by Judas and several of his disciples, who considered him to be the most valued and respected person than his cousin and guide, but Hana chose to give up John's life.

"Why should you give up this opportunity, O my lord?"

Judas's eyes were red, and he almost threw himself in front of Hanna, and hurriedly persuaded him. He couldn't figure out why he should give up such an opportunity as long as it was done properly as he envisioned it, and the church would swell more than a hundred times as much as it had now.

Hana closed his eyes, not listening to Judas's pleading, but whispered.

"The church is not the church of the Jews, but the church of the whole world, and the kingdom of heaven is not the kingdom of the Jews, but the kingdom of all mankind. ”

Yes, the church is not the church of the Jews, nor is it just the church of Thanah, but the churches of many believers who are willing to follow him and believe in him because they believe in his word and believe in his promises.

A person cannot form a church, and a person's thoughts are only the thoughts of a single husband.

He can't afford to let the whole church take such a risk for the sake of one person, and get caught up in the political maelstrom of eating people and not spitting out bones, even if it ...... That would have sacrificed his cousin and godfather for it.

In a trance, he seemed to hear another voice of expectation.

"Doctor ......"

The bright eyes that looked at him with longing and anticipation.

The difference is that he chose to soften his heart for the sake of a person's desires, and did not hesitate to disobey his belief in God and piety. But now he chooses to harden his heart for the wishes of thousands of people, and sits back and watches a loved one of his most respected and beloved relatives die because of this.

There's no going back.

Suddenly, Hana had a realization in his heart that since he chose this path, he might go against his original intention for the sake of his original goal.

However, there is no turning back.

He is no longer the little doctor he was at the beginning, he is not the only one at the beginning, he is carrying the expectations of thousands of believers at this moment, even if it is for them, he can only grit his teeth and go on......

But with the thoughts in his heart, in places he didn't realize......

In the sky, a sigh suddenly sounded, and in the depths of the sea, only a low laugh sounded.

"Interesting, human race, you want to chase the best and most beautiful heaven, but you don't know that good and evil are one, and if there is no evil, where is there good?

"If there is no distinction between good and evil, you try to pursue the best and the most beautiful heaven, but you do not know that you are already in hell. ”

And at the feet of the black shadow, in the depths of the sea and the earth's crust, the sleeping behemoth did not pay attention to these little things, only the dark things and black shadows that were more inclined to human characteristics would have this kind of feeling, and as their body, the great snake did not bother to pay attention to the affairs of these insects.

Deep in the earth's crust, the huge wound on the serpent's head had gradually healed, leaving only a relatively small vertical scar on its forehead, like its third eye......

......

A long time later, news of John's death came.

At that time, Hana was leading his disciples to preach in the field, and hundreds of believers gathered around him, and Hanna was stunned when he heard the news, and then the disciples said to him.

"Lord, there is not enough food, and we have only brought five loaves and two fish with us, why don't I have someone go to a nearby village to buy something to eat?"

"Arrange it yourself. ”

A deep voice sounded, and the disciple wanted to ask again, but he saw Han's depressed will lower his head, and he couldn't bear it, so he didn't ask again.

After a while, Hana suddenly heard bursts of cheers and surprises from the crowd of believers, and raised his head to look.

"This is the miracle of my master! With only five loaves and two fishes, you can conjure up so much food that you can feast on......

In the crowd of believers, Judas, who was standing on a high place, spoke impassionedly, and at some point there were more than a dozen baskets beside him, which contained enough food for hundreds of people to eat, and for these believers, they knew very well that Hanna and his disciples did not carry any food, so where did this inexplicable food come from?

At that time, several pious people knelt down in their hearts and murmured prayers to the gods of heaven.

However, Hanna, who knew Judas's temperament, knew that this must have been something that Judas had arranged for a long time, perhaps hidden long before they came here, and used miracles to attract the believers.

"Judas!"

Hanna's mouth immediately called, and Judas, who was still preaching in the crowd, heard Hanna's voice, and immediately hurriedly crossed the crowd and bowed down in front of Hanna.

"Lord. ”

Raising his head, he looked at Hana's eyes full of fanaticism, as if he was wagging his tail proudly in front of his master as if he had consciously made a meritorious contribution.

And looking at the fanaticism and longing in Judas's eyes, Hanna was silent for a long time, and what he wanted to say was still not said after all.

......

That night, Hana had all his disciples wait at the foot of the mountain, and went up to a mountain peak alone, and prayed silently to the God of heaven, and no one knew what he prayed to the God of heaven that night......

A few months later, a legend about Joshua, the son of God, gradually spread throughout the kingdom of Judea, and the legend that he was the son of God on earth, who appeared to save the world, and was the Messiah of Judaism prophecy......
