3 Who came to sit at Jesus’ feet to learn the wisdom that he brought to men, that they might teach their people how to live the holy life.
4 And Jesus taught them how to teach; he told them of the trials of the way, and how to make these trials serve the race.
5 He taught them how to live the holy life that they might conquer death;
6 He taught them what the end of mortal life will be, when man has reached the consciousness that he and God are one.
7 The after midday hours were given to the multitudes who came to learn the way of life and to be healed; and many did believe and were baptized.
8 Now, in his prison by the Bitter Sea the harbinger had heard of all the mighty works that Jesus did.
9 His prison life was hard, and he was sore distressed, and he began to doubt.
10 And to himself he said, I wonder if this Jesus is the Christ of whom the prophets wrote!
11 Was I mistaken in my work? Was I, indeed, one sent from God to pave the way for him who shall redeem our people, Israel?
12 And then he sent some of his friends, who came to see him in his prison cell, up to Capernaum that they might learn about this man, and bring him word.
