22 Now, Jesus and his six disciples turned their faces toward Jerusalem, and many people followed them.
23 But Mathew, son of Alpheus, ran on before, and when he reached Jerusalem, he said, Behold the Christines come! The multitudes came forth to see the king.
24 But Jesus did not speak to any one until he reached the temple court, and then he opened up a book and read:
25 Behold, I send my messenger, and he will pave the way, and Christ, for whom you wait, will come unto his temple unannounced. Behold, for he will come, says God, the Lord of hosts.
26 And then he closed the book; he said no more; he left the temple halls, and with his six disciples, went his way to Nazareth,
27 And they abode with Mary, Jesus’ mother, and her sister, Miriam.
CHAPTER 69.
Jesus and the ruler of the synagogue of Nazareth. Jesus teaches not in public, and the people are amazed.
Next day as Peter walked about in Nazareth, he met the ruler of the synagogue who asked, Who is this Jesus lately come to Nazareth?
2 And Peter said, This Jesus is the Christ of whom our prophets wrote; he is the king of Israel. His mother, Mary, lives on Marmion Way.
