14 For seven days these seven men spoke not; they sat in silence in the council hall in close communion with the Silent Brotherhood.
15 They sought for light, for revelation and for power. The laws and precepts of the coming age required all the wisdom of the masters of the world.
CHAPTER 39.
Jesus attends a feast in Persepolis. Speaks to the people, reviewing the magian philosophy. Explains the origin of evil. Spends the night in prayer.
A feast in honor of the magian God was being held, and many men were gathered in Persepolis.
2 And on the great day of the feast the ruling magian master said, Within these sacred walls is liberty; whoever wills to speak may speak.
3 And Jesus standing in the midst of all the people, said, My brothers, sisters, children of our Father-God:
4 Most blest are you among the sons of men today, because you have such just conceptions of the Holy One and man.
5 Your purity in worship and in life is pleasing unto God; and to your master, Zarathustra, praise is due.
6 Well say you all, There is one God from whose great being there came forth the seven Spirits that created heaven and earth; and manifest unto the sons of men are these great Spirits in the sun, and moon, and stars.
