CHAPTER 105.
Under the patronage of a number of wealthy women, the Christines make a grand missionary tour. In his teaching Jesus lauds sincerity and rebukes hypocrisy. He speaks concerning the sin against the Holy Breath.
Now, many women who possessed much wealth, and who abode in other towns of Galilee, implored that Jesus and the twelve, together with the masters from the foreign lands, would thither go and preach and heal.
2 Among these anxious ones were Mary Magdalene, who was obsessed by seven homeless spirits of the air, which had been driven out by the Omnific Word which Jesus spoke;
3 Susanna, who owned vast estates at Cæsarea-Philippi;
4 Johanna, wife of Chuza, one of Herod’s court;
5 And Rachel from the coast of Tyre;
6 And others from beyond the Jordan and the sea of Galilee.
7 And they provided ample means and three times seven men went forth.
8 They preached the gospel of the Christ, and they baptized the multitudes who made confession of their faith; they healed the sick and raised the dead.
