"Caesarea-Philippi" changed to "Caesarea Philippi"
Original Paragraph:
P1743:1, 157:0.1
Before Jesus took the twelve for a short sojourn in the vicinity of Caesarea-Philippi,
he arranged through the messengers of David to go over to Capernaum on Sunday,
August 7, for the purpose of meeting his family. By prearrangement this visit
was to occur at the Zebedee boatshop. David Zebedee had arranged with Jude,
Jesus' brother, for the presence of the entire Nazareth family -- Mary and all
of Jesus' brothers and sisters -- and Jesus went with Andrew and Peter to keep
this appointment. It was certainly the intention of Mary and the children to
keep this engagement, but it so happened that a group of the Pharisees, knowing
that Jesus was on the opposite side of the lake in Philip's domains, decided
to call upon Mary to learn what they could of his whereabouts. The arrival of
these Jerusalem emissaries greatly perturbed Mary, and noting the tension and
nervousness of the entire family, they concluded that Jesus must have been expected
to pay them a visit. Accordingly they installed themselves in Mary's home and,
after summoning reinforcements, waited patiently for Jesus' arrival. And this,
of course, effectively prevented any of the family from attempting to keep their
appointment with Jesus. Several times during the day both Jude and Ruth endeavored
to elude the vigilance of the Pharisees in their efforts to send word to Jesus,
but it was of no avail.
