II–III (the child was "sprinkled with the blood of a lamb and called Yokovrana's son").
Later, Looeamong explains it means "IN THIS THOU SHALT CONQUER!" He commands Hatuas to make a decorated cross inscribed "THE KRISTE, OUR LORD, SON OF THE HOLY GHOST," carry it at the army's head, and write edicts (called bulls) in lamb’s blood.
1. Now, Mary took her son, when he was forty days of age, up to the temple in Jerusalem, and he was consecrated by the priest.2. And then she offered purifying sacrifices for herself, according to the custom of the Jews; a lamb and two young turtle doves.3. A pious Jew named Simeon was in the temple serving God.4. From early youth he had been looking for Immanuel to come, and he had prayed to God that he might not depart until his eyes had seen Messiah in the flesh.5. And when he saw the infant Jesus he rejoiced and said, I now am ready to depart in peace, for I have seen the king.6. And then he took the infant in his arms and said, Behold, this child will bring a sword upon my people, Israel, and all the world; but he will break the sword and then the nations will learn war no more.7. The master's cross I see upon the forehead of this child, and he will conquer by this sign.8. And in the temple was a widow, four and eighty years of age, and she departed not, but night and day she worshipped God.9. And when she saw the infant Jesus she exclaimed, Behold Immanuel!
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?
I thought the temple was the house of God where love and kindness dwell.10. Do you not hear the bleating of those lambs, the pleading of those doves that men are killing over there?
Where shall we offer sacrifice?17. And Jesus said, Our Father-God asks not for needless waste of plant, of grain, of dove, of lamb.18. That which you burn on any shrine you throw away.
behold the king!5. But Jesus answered not; he saw the money changers in the house of God, and he was grieved.6. The courts had been converted into marts of trade, and men were selling lambs and doves for offerings in sacrifice.7. And Jesus called the priests and said, Behold, for paltry gain you have sold out the temple of the Lord.8. This house ordained for prayer is now a den of thieves.
I tell you, no.9. And then he made a scourge of cords and drove the merchants out; he overturned their boards, and threw their money on the floor.10. He opened up the cages of the captive birds, and cut the cords that bound the lambs, and set them free.11. The priests and scribes rushed out, and would have done him harm, but they were driven back; the common people stood in his defence.12. And then the rulers said, Who is this Jesus you call king?13. The people said, He is the Christ of whom our prophets wrote; he is the king who will deliver Israel.14. The rulers said to Jesus, Man, if you be king, or Christ, then show us signs.
the lamb of innocence; the dove of peace;10. And it was meet that love should come in human form amid such scenes as these.11. Our father Abraham walked through these vales, and on these very hills he watched his flocks and herds.12. And here it was that one, the Prince of Peace, the king of Salim, came; the Christ in human form; a greater far than Abraham was he.13. And here it was that Abraham gave to this king of Salim, tithes of all he had.14. This Prince of Peace went forth in battle everywhere.
1. Now, on the day before the Sabbath day, the twelve disciples who had received the call were met with one accord in Jesus' home.2. And Jesus said to them, This is the day to consecrate yourselves unto the work of God; so let us pray.3. Turn from the outer to the inner self; close all the doors of carnal self and wait.4. The Holy Breath will fill this place, and you will be baptised in Holy Breath.5. And then they prayed; alight more brilliant than the noonday sun filled all the room, and tongues of flame from every head rose high in air.6. The atmosphere of Galilee was set astir; a sound like distant thunder rolled above Capernaum, and men heard songs, as though ten thousand angels joined in full accord.7. And then the twelve disciples heard a voice, a still, small voice, and just one word was said, a word they dared not speak; it was the Sacred name of God.8. And Jesus said to them, By this omnific Word you may control the elements, and all the powers of air.9. And when within your souls you speak this Word, you have the keys of life and death; of things that are; of things that were; of things that are to be.10. Behold you are the twelve great branches of the Christine vine; the twelve foundation stones; the twelve apostles of the Christ.11. As lambs I sent you forth among wild beasts; but the omnific Word will be your buckler and your shield.12. And then again the air was filled with song, and every living creature seemed to say, Praise God!
When waters cease to move they soon are ladened with the seeds of death; corruption dwells in every drop.7. The living waters always leap and skip about like lambs in spring.8. The nations are corrupt; they sleep within the arms of death and they must be aroused before it is too late.9. In life we find antagonists at work.
Faith is the wings of prayer; but wings alone fly not.20. By prayer and faith you can bring down the mountain peaks, and cast them in the sea; the little hills will skip about like lambs at your command.21. This failure may be well for you.
Is there but one?6. And Jesus said, All men are sons of God by birth; God is the Father of the race; but all are not the sons of God by faith.7. He who attains the victory over self is son of God by faith, and he who speaks to you has overcome, and he is called son of God, because he is the pattern for the sons of men.8. He who believes and does the will of God is son of God by faith.9. The man in joy exclaimed, Lord, I believe in God, and in the son of God.10. And Jesus said, I came to open prison doors, to make the blind to see; but, lo, the Pharisees are blind from birth.11. And when I put the salve of truth upon their eyes, and bid them go and wash, and speak the sacred Word they will not go; they love the dark.12. A multitude of people pressed about the Lord, and he stood forth and said,13. You men of Israel, I say to you, The fold of God is large; its walls are strong, it has a gateway in the east, and he who does not enter by the gate into the fold, but climbs into the fold some other way, is thief and comes to rob.14. The shepherd of the sheep stands by the gate; he gives the secret sign; he knocks; the watchman opens up the gate.15. And then the shepherd calls his sheep by name; they hear his voice and follow him; they enter through the gate into the fold.16. The sheep know not a stranger's voice; they will not follow him; they flee away.17. The people did not understand the parable that Jesus spoke; and then he said,18. Christ is the gateway of the fold; I am the shepherd of the sheep, and he who follows me through Christ shall come into the fold where living waters flow, and where rich pastures are.19. False prophets come and go; they claim to be the shepherds of the sheep; they claim to know the way; but they know not the word of power; the watchman opens not the gate; the sheep heed not their call.20. The shepherd of the sheep will give his life to save the sheep.21. A hireling flees to save his life when wolves infest the fold; and then the tender lambs are snatched away, the sheep are scattered everywhere.22. I am the shepherd of the sheep; I know the sheep of God; they know my voice, as God knows me and I know him.23. The Father loves me with a deathless love, because I lay my life down for the sheep.24. I lay my life down when I will, but I may take it up again; for every son of God by faith has power to lay his mortal flesh aside and take it up again.
Remove this plunder from this holy place.9. The merchants only laughed and said, We are protected in our trade by those who bear the rule; we will not go.10. Then Jesus made a scourge of cords, as he did once before, and rushed among the merchantmen, threw all their money on the floor;11. Threw wide the cages of the doves, and cut the cords that held the bleating lambs and set them free.12. And then he drove the merchants from the place, and with a clean, new broom he swept the floors.13. Chief priests and scribes were filled with wrath, but feared to touch or even to rebuke the Lord, for all the people stood in his defence.14. And Jesus taught the people all day long and healed a multitude of those diseased,15. And when the evening came he went again to Bethany.
And then the mob rushed up and spit into his face, and struck him with their hands.20. And then they bound a cloth about his eyes and smote him in the face and said, You are a prophet; tell us who it was who smote you in the face.21. And Jesus answered not and like a lamb before his shearer he, the man from Galilee, resisted not.22. Caiaphas said, We cannot put a man to death until the Roman ruler shall confirm the sentence of this court;23. So take this criminal away and Pilate will endorse what we have done.24. And then was Jesus dragged along the way up to the palace of the Roman governor.
The other men brought in the net, and it contained a hundred fifty and three fish and yet it did not break.9. And Jesus said, My children, let us break our fast together here.10. They found some living coals upon the beach and Peter brought and dressed the fish; they had some bread.11. And when the meal had been prepared they broke their fast, and Jesus ate of both the fish and bread.12. Now, after breakfast all the men were sitting on the beach, and Jesus said to Peter, Do you love the Lord your God with all your heart, and do you love your neighbour as you love yourself?13. And Peter said, Yea, Lord, I love the Lord my God with all my heart; I love my neighbour as I love myself.14. And Jesus said, Then feed my sheep.15. And then he said to James, Do you love her, the Holy Breath, with all your heart, and do you love your neighbour as you love yourself?16. And James replied, Yea, Lord, I love the Holy Breath with all my heart; I love my neighbour as I love myself.17. Then Jesus said, Protect my sheep.18. And then he said to John, Do you love Christ, the love divine made manifest, with all your heart, and do you love your neighbour as you love yourself?19. And John replied, Yea, Lord, I love the Christ with all my heart; I love my neighbour as I love myself.20. And Jesus said, Then feed my lambs.21. Then Jesus rose and said to Peter, Follow me.
What shall he do?23. Now Peter did not hear the master when he said to John, Then feed my lambs.24. And Jesus spoke to Peter and he said, It matters not to you what John shall do; not even though I will that he remain until I come again.25. Just do your duty; follow me.26. And Jesus passed, they knew not where he went.27. The news soon spread through all Capernaum that Jesus had risen from the dead, that he had walked with his disciples by the sea and ate with them the morning meal.
