Joshua appeared in this way, like a god who had quietly descended into the world. Mary's surprise was indescribable, and she was about to bow down subconsciously, but Jesus quickly reached out and took her arm and said, "Mary, remember, you don't have to be surprised by whatever happens. I have come to see you today because I am ready to answer your questions. ”

There was a kind of warmth in his eyes, as if it were wrapped in some kind of longing and anticipation, which made Maria dare not look up. She retracted her arms and asked in a somewhat flustered voice, "Dear Guide, why are you looking at me like that?"

Instead of answering, Jesus asked, "Mary, why don't you dare touch me, what are you afraid of?"

Mary bowed her head and said, "In my mind, you are the Son who came to the world, and it is true that you are the Son! I dare not touch you for fear of tarnishing your divine brilliance, and if I am not careful, I will be doomed." I knew the answer in my heart, but I couldn't help but ask such a question during the day, and I wanted to hear you say it yourself, but I didn't expect you to answer me like this. ”

Jesus still looked at her: "I have come to answer your question, yes, I am the one! People are not wrong, but they may not understand the true meaning of Elijah's prophecy." Speaking of this, he sighed again and said, "I inexplicably remembered the events of almost four hundred years ago, when there were two people, they were like you and me now, but their identities have changed positions, and I finally understand her mood at that time...... Maria, you want to ask me why I look at you in such a light, and when you get through the trials of life, you will understand everything. But then you will be the Mary you are now, and you will be what I am looking for. ”

Mary finally raised her timid eyes and met Josus' gaze and said, "I don't quite understand what you said, but I have heard you explain the power of the Source, which is a necessary stop on the road to heaven, do you think I have hope?"

Jesus couldn't help but step forward and grab her hand, and Mary's body trembled, as if an electric current spread from the palm of her hand to her whole body. This time she didn't pull her hand back, and Jesus' big hand was so generous and powerful, and so warm.

Mary heard the voice of Jesus, which seemed to imprint into the soul: "Of course you have hope, even if you don't meet it in this life, it will come in the future world." I have found you, and I will wait for that day, but I am afraid that Jesus will not wait for that day. I know very well what I'm going to face, that's why I'm coming to you today. Forgive me, I can't tell you everything you don't understand yet, I just want you to feel—feel the yearning of that soul. ”

...... Mary asked Joshua during the day, and the disciples Peter and Judas heard it. Jesus told Mary to wait in the room at night, and he was going there to answer her. Peter was very curious, so he led Judas to a tree in the village, and looked at Mary's house from afar, wondering when Jesus' time would go?

Judas asked, "Why are you doing so much?"

Peter looked very serious and said, "Our guide is the legendary Son, and we, the followers of the Son, should also be guardians and protect the safety of the Son, isn't this reason enough?"

The two waited under the tree, but they did not see Jesus. In the middle of the night, a light suddenly came on in the window, revealing a projection of Jesus' figure. Peter exclaimed in a low voice, "Wow! Sure enough, the Son of God came to earth, and he actually went like this!"

Judas advised: "Our Son has such great ability, do we need your protection here? ”

Peter shook his head again and said, "If we stay here, we can not let anyone disturb him!"

There were lights and silhouettes in the windows, but there was not a sound coming from the room, and no one knew what Mary and Jesus were talking about. After a while, the lights went out suddenly, and Peter said with some surprise, "Huh, why did you blow the lights?"

Judas gave him a blank look and said, "Blowing out the lamp and talking to save the lamp oil, will you pass by! Don't you understand such simple common sense?"

As the night deepened, the stars blinked silently, staring at the village at night.

...... Toward daybreak, Mary said to Jesus: "Your name has been spread throughout the city of Salem, where many people are looking forward to your coming. If you just like to stay here, I'm very happy. But in fact, the village is very close to the city of Salem, and if you are quick to walk, you can enter the city during the day and come back at night to rest. And I have witnessed your miraculous appearance in the night, and I am convinced of one thing, for you - distance is not a problem. ”

Jesus sighed, "When I enter the city of Salem, I will be greeted with the fate that awaits." Before that, I will return to my hometown to finish Jesus' farewell. ”

Maria took his hand and asked with infinite regret, "Is that really the case?"

Jesus replied, "It really is, because, as you asked yesterday, I am indeed the man of legend." ”

...... Jesus decided that before he left for the city of Salem to complete his mission, he would return to his hometown of Bethlehem, where he had been born in this life, and that he would say goodbye to his parents. On this day, he took his disciples on the road, but did not ask the believers in the village to prepare food. As they left the village and walked in the wilderness, one of the disciples asked, "Honorable guide, if we can't find the village, what will we eat today?"

Jesus replied, "If there will be food, please follow my example, and take a stone and bring it with you." As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a stone.

And the stone that Josus' took was larger, and the stones that the disciples picked up were not small. Only Peter's eyes were the most alive, and he thought that he would have to travel a long way, so he took a very small stone and put it in his pocket. When they sat down to camp in the evening, they did not meet the village, and when they sat down to camp, Jesus said, "Take all your stones and put them before you." ”

Then Jesus led the disciples in prayer, and when he had finished praying, he waved his staff and made them look down at the stone in front of them. At some point, the stone had turned into a cake of bread, which happened to be as big as before. All the disciples were fed, but only the loaf of bread in front of Peter was smaller than half an egg, just like the little stone he had chosen.

...... The next day, when they crossed the Jordan into Bethlehem, they were greeted by an unprecedented welcome, with 5,000 people coming to meet them. I don't know who spread the news, the Son Jesus is coming today, some are to ask Jesus to heal, some are to listen to Jesus preach, some are to see the legendary Son with their own eyes, and some are just to see the excitement.

The scene was noisy, and more than 5,000 people spontaneously gathered, and you can imagine how chaotic the order at the scene was. The disciples were exhausted from trying to maintain order, and they tried to make sure that everyone could see Jesus, who was standing on the dirt slope. Jesus looked at everyone in the room with deep compassion in his eyes, and his voice reached everyone's ears clearly, preaching for a whole day.

When it was dark, but the crowd did not leave, and the weary disciples begged Jesus, "Let them all disperse, for it is already dark, and no one has yet eaten supper." ”

But Jesus shook his head and said, "It's too far from the nearest village for them to hurry back, so let's prepare a supper for everyone." ”

One of the disciples said, "We don't have much to eat, but during the day a child gave you a lunch, two salted fish and five pieces of bread, and you haven't had time to eat it." ”

Peter remembered again the miracle of Jesus' turning the stone into bread and hurried to find the stone, but the meadow was so clean that there was not a single gravel. He tried to look for it in the distance, but he was stopped by Jesus, who told his disciples: "Let them all be ready, and divide them into groups of fifty, and lead them in prayer, and I will distribute food to all with my own hands." ”

Five thousand people prayed on the grassy slope on the bank of the river, and after the service was over, Jesus went into the crowd and took a cane and personally distributed bread and salted fish from the baggage, and kept busy until nightfall, so that everyone was satisfied.

At this time, someone noticed his staff and muttered to himself, "Sure enough, the Son of God has come, and he is holding Moses's staff!" Legend has it that when Moses led his people back to his homeland, he cooked a pot of soup to feed all the people. ”

Josus' staff was originally made by an old madman for Amun, and one of them was the Wind Charm Dance, which was refined into a space magic weapon, and when it was completely smelted into an artifact, it was of course an even more magical space magic weapon. Jesus had had Medanzo and Link prepare enough food to carry with them, as if he had anticipated what was happening today.

...... The first thing Jesus did when he came to Bethlehem caused a great sensation, with his praisers spreading the word about the Son, and his opponents becoming even more convinced that he was a demagoguery and a great threat.

The priests of Bethlehem also made the decision to send a message to the city of Salem to alert the elders in the Aroha temple of the presence of an extremely dangerous person. Jesus knew this, but he didn't say anything and went back to his hometown in the countryside of Bethlehem, in a place called Nazareth.

The villagers living in Nazareth were all too familiar with Jesus, and as a child, they helped his father with carpentry, making tables and chairs for people, and repairing carriages. Later, when Josus left home, the villagers felt very sorry for him, and often exclaimed when they mentioned Jesus—"What a pity that the child of Joseph's house could have been the best carpenter in Nazareth, and even made furniture for the king!"

When Jesus returned to his hometown, where he felt most deafening, he was confronted with the greatest dilemma since he spread his faith, this time not by those who were hostile to him but by the questioning voices of his fellow villagers who had known him well since childhood.
