20 They laughed their brother’s claims to scorn; they called him indolent, ambitious, vain; a worthless fortune hunter; searcher of the world for fame, who, after many years returns to mother’s home with neither gold, nor any other wealth.
21 And Jesus called aside his mother and her sister, Miriam, and told them of his journey to the East.
22 He told them of the lessons he had learned, and of the works that he had done. To others he told not the story of his life.

Life and Works of Jesus in Greece.
CHAPTER 44.
Jesus visits Greece and is welcomed by the Athenians. Meets Apollo. Addresses the Grecian masters in the Amphitheater. The address.
The Greek philosophy was full of pungent truth, and Jesus longed to study with the masters in the schools of Greece.
2 And so he left his home in Nazareth and crossed the Carmel hills, and at the port took ship, and soon was in the Grecian capital.
3 Now, the Athenians had heard of him as teacher and philosopher, and they were glad to have him come to them that they might hear his words of truth.
