23 God made the universe by thought; he paints the lily and the rose with thought.
24 Why think it strange that I should send a healing thought and change the ethers of disease and death to those of health and life?
25 Lo, you shall see far greater things than this, for by the power of holy thought, my body will be changed from carnal flesh to spirit form; and so will yours.
26 When Jesus had thus said he disappeared, and no one saw him go.
27 His own disciples did not comprehend the change; they knew not where their master went, and they went on their way.
28 But as they walked and talked about the strange event, lo, Jesus came and walked with them to Nazareth of Galilee.
CHAPTER 85.
John, the harbinger, censures Herod for his wickedness. Herod sends him to prison in Machaerus. Jesus tells why God permitted the imprisonment of John.
Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Paraca and of Galilee was dissipated, selfish and tyrannical.
2 He drove his wife away from home that he might take as wife Herodias, the wife of one, a near of kin, a woman, like himself, immoral and unjust.
