1There was a beggar in the town of Bethany, he was a pitiful creature of a man, a lowly and filthy creature, a defiler of beasts, in bethany he was called Lazarus. 2Lazarus was beset by demons and foreign gods. The demons whispered to him to murder his friends and family and strangers that walked by him, and the children of Bethany, and the priests of the Lord, and verily even to murder the beasts of men. And yea, these demons would appear to Lazarus but remain hidden to other men, and lo would the demons and foreign gods take the form of cats and half-man goats, of beasts with the heads of righteous men but the bodies of snakes and insects. 3 Day and night these demons tormented Lazarus, never revealing themselves to others. Words and threats, whistles and screeches, sometimes whispering, sometimes screaming. Often the demons would instruct Lazarus to stick his manroot into a mule, or a cow, or a sheep, sometimes into a chicken and sometimes into rocks and dirt and trees. 4And lo, the demons and foreign gods told Lazarus to murder believers and heretics alike. To cut out their bowels and their livers and kidneys and to eat them on the sabbath day. And then the demons commanded Lazarus to kill children and cut out their anuses and to feed them to the hungry of the town of Bethany. 5Lazarus would not listen to the demons and foreign gods. He restrained himself and steeled himself against the onslaught of their commands for he was taught by kindly people. And lo, though he tried the whispers got louder and more impertinent as Lazarus tried to ignore them, verily even unto cutting himself with knives and embedding needles and sharp metal into his own flesh. Lazarus would not murder, nor do the horrible deeds the demons commanded of him. 6For twenty and ten seasons of man, Lazarus resisted and cut himself. Never did he murder any child and never did he cut their anuses out and feed them to the poor. And lo, Lazarus never murdered the believers of the true Lord and never did Lazarus murder the heretics and cut out their intestines and livers and kidneys. And though he never murdered and cut out anuses, he could not help himself to fornicate with animals and so was despised by the Lord. 7Lazarus lay with goats and sheep and with cows. Lazarus lay even with chickens and with the corpses of cows and the corpses of goats, but only the corpses of the most exquisite of sheep. And Lazarus continued to lay with the corpses of beasts for all of his days on the earth. 8And then Lazarus was afflicted, for laying with the corpses of beasts inflicts man with a wasting disease. And Lazarus wasted away day by day for a number of seasons. His teeth fell out and his skin developed a pallor and abcesses and boils afflicted him. And verily did Lazarus suffer in his health, his skin turned a pale yellow, like the field onion, and his spittle was cloudy and his specum was full of foulness. 9The sisters of Lazarus saw that he was befouled and though they knew he lay with the corpses of foul beasts they loved him still. The loved him so much that they desired him to live despite his foulness and his transgressions before the Lord. Mary and Matha were their names and their were the special friends of Jesus of Nazareth. Knowing the great deeds that Jesus of Nazareth was performing they dispatched a message to him. Mary and Martha begged Jesus of Nazareth to come to Bethany and cure their beloved brother. 10And Jesus, after receiving the pleading of the sisters of Lazarus, decided to journey to Bethany. Though Jesus had received the dire news of Lazarus' dire illness, Jesus delayed leaving. 11On the third day after the sisters of Lazarus, Mary and Martha, had pleaded with Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus departed Jerusalem for the town of Bethany. Four nights later, Jesus arrived in Bethany. Jesus was still joyously received by Mary and Martha and Stan and Martha the older, and all the family of Lazarus. Although they were not among the rich for Stan was merely a herdsman, and Martha the older was wrinkled and poorly and a pleasurer of men, they feasted Jesus of Nazareth with a great bounty of lamb and dates and grapes and roots and nuts of plenty. 12Though Lazarus' family showed no sign of grief, grief gripped their hearts terribly for Lazarus had died thrity hours before. They feasted before the corpse of Lazarus, Jesus of Nazereth and Mary, Martha and the loved ones of Lazarus, and rejoiced in the glory of the lord. 13Over the corpse of Lazarus they feasted and Jesus of Nazareth was among those, and they prayed and rejoiced of the Lord. Then among the family of Lazarus there arose a call that, though Lazarus was a defiler of beasts he was a believer in the one true God and never commited any sin before God. The family of Lazarus begged Jesus of Nazareth to reward Lazarus for his commitment to the true God. 14And so the son of God, looked down on the corpse of Lazarus and saw that he was a true and proper believer in the Lord and so Jesus of Nazareth did lay his hands upon the the corpse of Lazarus. 15and Jesus said, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die". And then Jesus wept. He wept for the power of the Lord, his father, that flowed through him and restored Lazarus to life. 16Then Jesus said to the newly raised Lazarus, "do you believe in the one true God and put your faith in me as the son of God". And Lazarus rent his hair and screamed and lamented, for he had wished to be free of the demons and false gods that shouted their commands to him. "But I needed to stop the voices", he said to the son of God, "take me for your servant and silence the commands of the demons and false gods that plague me, and I will spread the word of the one true God". And Jesus smiled on Lazarus and knew that he would now be a true prophet of the one true God. 17Then Jesus said to Lazarus, "Do not ask the Lord for favors, for everlasting life is his gift to you, but endure what he wills of you and glorify in his word." 18And Lazarus was ashamed for his plea, and begged Jesus of Nazareth for forgiveness and glorified in the word of the one true God. 19Jesus stayed with the family of Lazarus for three days more, and they feasted on lamb, and fowl, and dates. During the feast of dates and goat and nuts of plenty, Jesus stood from the table and spoke good words of Lazarus, but Lazarus did not hear. For Lazarus had left his family on his raising and went out into the world of men and spread the word of God. 20And Lazarus moved among the Israelites and spoke the word of God, all the while the voices of the demons and false gods screamed at him, they commanded him to murder childern and eat their intestines, sprinkled with salt and spices, which he did. For after his death, he was lessened, his skin turned a darker yellow and his abcesses and boils afflicted him mightilty and grew in size and ferocity. His spittle frothed from his mouth and smelled of garlic and smelting, the odor of the dead filled the air around him and his specum was full of foulness and filth. 21And his mind was weak and he could not keep attention, and so when the voices of demons and false gods commanded him he could not force himself to not do their bidding. He laid with the corpses of animals for so he was commanded, and murdered the elderly in their homes and ate their flesh, the voices of demons and false gods commanded him to strip the flesh from the dead, both the freshly dead the dead he found in the crypts, and so he did. 22And the voices of demons and false gods commanded him to take the flesh and prepare it as the people of the Lord prepare their food, giving it the blessings and cooking it with salt and spices and sometimes the voices of demons and false gods commanded him to soak the flesh of the dead in wine and let it soak up the wettings of the grape, then he cooked the flesh over an open flame, placed on a grate of iron. 23The voices of demons and false gods then commanded Lazarus to eat the flesh he had thusly prepared and so he did. All of these things did Lazarus do, though he knew they were wrong in his heart and he wanted to resist the voices of demons and false gods he could not. 24When Lazarus had done evil deeds, he wrenched his feet and pulled his hair out and flagellated himself in fear and shame, and Lazarus would flee so that the eyes of men would not see what he had done, and he would not stop until he reached a place of safety away from the places of men. 25Then Lazarus would collapse to the ground and hold his head in his hands and ask the one true God for forgiveness for his wickedness, and the Lord heard the pleas of Lazarus for Lazarus would spread the word and the glory of God, and a light would shine down from the darkness and engulf Lazarus in warmth and light and Lazarus knew that he was forgiven and all shame and guilt would leave his body like tide rolls back to the sea. 26For spreading the word of the one true God would serve Lazarus all of his days, and his foulness would not prey on his mind, and his deeds would not prey on his heart as long as he served the will of the Lord. For evil and misfortune was a province of God's ill will and as long as Lazarus did the Lord's will and begged for forgiveness of his sins, his life would unfold without pain and misfortune.
1During the time of Hep-Shaba-Meh, there was a town called by them that lived in the town, they called this town Shibollah, and Shibollah was not right with the Lord of all the Heavens. For the men of Shibollah had turned their backs on the Lord and the women of Shibollah were wanton. 2The men of Shibollah worshipped demons, they broke the laws of the Lord and worked the day of Sabbath, they obeyed orders from their women in defiance of the Lord. They ate the meat of the pig, and commited sodomy with their wives, yeah even did they covet their neighbors wives and children. In the time of Hep-Shaba-Meh did the men of Shibollah forsake the worship of the one true Lord. 3In the town of Shibollah was one man that still worshipped the one true Lord of all Heavens and his name was Jacobean. Jacobean kept the Sabbath holy and forsake the meat of the pig and kept all the laws of the Lord. Jacobean was beset on all sides by the demons of Shibollah and his mind was in constant confusion because of their influence. 4A bright and beautiful son did Jacobean have. This son of Jacobean had hair like spun gold and cheeks as of a cherubum. But the son of Jacobean was weak and sickly and pale. The demons of Shibollah took his life from him when he was merely a child and Jacobean was distraught. 5Jacobean wept for his lost son and cursed the demons of Shibollah and praised the one true Lord and asked his Lord to save his beautiful boy and the one true Lord looked upon this one true worshipper in the sea of filth and gave his grace upon Jacobean. 6The Lord of all the Heavens looked down upon Jacobean and sent his grace to fill his heart and said unto him, the flesh and blood that was your son will remain in the earth but his soul will forever walk the halls of Heaven and I will keep him close to me and his soul will live forever in the grace of the one true Lord. For your dedication to the one true Lord, I will give you another son to love, a son that will never know sickness or pain or weakness and you will love this child all of your days until your soul ascends to Heaven. 7The Lord of all Heavens spoke to Jacobean and Jacobean was filled with love and awe and all the grief left his soul and his mind and he placated himself to the true Lord and asked the Lord to take his soul. But the Lord said to Jacobean, no my child, I will not take your soul yet for you have more important work to do in my name, you must show these children of Shibollah the true path of the one true Lord. 8The Lord told Jacobean, my own son is soon to enter this world and he will speak the word of the Lord and fill men's souls with hope and his name will bear power for thousand of years and you must prepare Shibollah for his coming. You must show these heretics the true path and the love of the one true Lord. 9For if they do not accept the love of the one true Lord into their hearts they will spend eternity in the place of darkness and pain. You must show them, not with words, but with your deeds that to serve the one true Lord ends all pain and disappointment. 9To prepare Shibollah for the coming of the son of the one true Lord, Jacobean was filled with the power of the Lord, and he knew a joy such that he had never known, as if a powerful thing was put into his anus and he enjoyed it as he never had enjoyed anything in his life and the holy spirit filled his nethers. 10The one true Lord spoke to Jacobean and told him of how he could have a child that would know no pain, no disease, no weakness and no pain, and lo the Lord of all Heavens spoke to Jacobean and gave him the knowledge he needed to bring forth this child. 11The Lord appeared before Jacobean as a pillar of smoke and fire and from within this pillar the Lord said unto Jacobean "Find among the filth of Shibollah, wood and wire, and straw, and a carrot and lead pins and nails, and buttons of bone and wood, seek for these things, and seek also for cloth and hats and lead rods and string and the flung away things of this city and among the filth you will find all you need to create your new son." 12The Lord of all the Heavens gave his instructions to Jacobean and Jacobean, being the devoted servant of the one true Lord, followed his Lords instructions, and behold! Jacobean created a creature of bone and wood and wire and straw, dressed in wool and cloth and linen and this thing he created was a thing that the Lord of all Heavens looked down upon and was pleased. 13The Lord looked down on Jacobean and the thing he created with arms made of wooden switches and legs formed from the broken legs of chairs, the wire bound it's limbs and allowed free movement very much like the movement of a man's arms and legs. The head was made of a gourd chosen for it's size and shape from the rubbish heap and though it was missing a tenth of it's size it was pleasing to the Lord. 14Upon the gourd that Jacobean had chosen for the head of his son, Jacobean had placed a wooden button for an eye, held in place by a leaden nail, and for the other eye a patch of cloth. Jacobean sought night and day for the second eye for his new son. He first chose another button but he sensed that the Lord would not be pleased and the demons shouted in his mind that the button was the right thing to choose for the second eye so Jacobean, not being confused by the demons, knew that the button was not the right thing to choose for the second eye. So Jacobean searched on and all of his thoughts and hopes were in his mind for all he could think and hope for was for his new son to finally be alive. 15On the next day he found the pit of a date and it had been crushed in the road by first one ox-cart and then another and then a wagon of grain pulled by a team of mules crushed the date pit and Jacobean was poxied on the ground in his throes and watched first the ox-cart and then the second ox-cart and then the team of mules which pulled the wagon of grain and he thought "this then must be the thing would be the eye of his new son". 16So Jacobean crawled into the street in his throes and horses and mules and oxen stomped the ground around him and he was full of fear but yeah did he continue on so sure was he that the date pit was the eye he needed for his son. And the Lord looked down on him and protected him and knew the protection of the Lord was upon him and he continued on and he picked the date pit and put it in a special place in his shirt-coat where he would place various items that he needed to keep near him and he crawled back out of the road still in his throes and the mud made it difficult but he did not quit he crawled on and he made it safely back into the alley he had inhabited for the three days and more. And Jacobean rejoiced and knew that he was safe because the Lord was always with him. 17When Jacobean finally left his throes behind he went home with the date pit in the special place in his shirt-coat and he rejoiced for he was sure that the Lord had meant for the date pit to be the second eye. But when he put the date pit to the gourd that he had chosen for the head of his new son, he knew that the date pit was not the second eye. 18And Jacobean was fraught, and tore his hair from his head and gauged his own eyes and scored his wrists and flailed his nails and screamed at the Lord, why, why did you show me this date pit when it was not what I needed for my son? 19And then Jacobean knew that the date pit was not the second eye of his son, but was a test from the Lord of all Heavens and he knew that he had failed to understand. And he had failed the test that his Lord had set before him and he was ashamed. Jacobean was ashamed of himself for he had not yet found the second eye and the Lord was wroth with him. 20So on did Jacobean search for the second eye of his new son. It was at this time that the Lord showed Jacobean the way in his fevered dreams, go forth and ask the merchants of Shibollah for the second eye, and so did Jacobean do as the Lord asked. These were the merchants to which Jacobean put the question: Philomen the wheel-maker, Nemeses the cooper, Frentolan the butcher, Diksor the seller of meats, Greater Balorus the smith, Vejeen the fishmonger, Lessor Balorus the farrier, Smelly Peet the tanner, Baihamof the wine seller, Kabenet maker of crates, Heime the boot maker, Mareen the mender of curtains, Marchos the soup maker, Peysner the book binder, and Phometh the tamer of beasts. 21Though the Lord had directed Jacobean to ask the merchants for their help, none of them could help him. But Jacobean's heart was not wroth, nor did his faith waver, nor did he turn away from the Lord for he knew the Lord rewards the faithful. 22For twenty days and twenty-one nights did Jacobean search on, each new day and each new sunset set his heart alive for he new that one day, or one sunset would herald the discovery of the second eye. 23On the twenty-first night did come the fevered dreams from which Jacobean suffered all of his days, since the day of his seventh season when his mother did drop him upon the flagstones and his head was wroght. 24For a further fortnight did Jacobean wrestle with demons in his fevered dreams, and he looked upon his unfinished work and wrent his hair in angst that he could not do the work of the Lord. And the Lord forgave him, for the Lord forgives, always, the faithful in his flock. And Jacobean was faithful to the Lord. 25On the dawning of a beautiful new day, at sunrise Jacobean arose and witnessed the work he had down for the Lord and witnessed that it was not complete and sadness filled his heart for he did love the Lord as much as wheat loves the rain, and the green meadow flowers love the sun. Jacobean went into the world as if a new born and saw the world through the eyes of a child and knew that this day was the day the glory of the Lord would fill his life with joy. 26Jacobean went out into the city of Shibollah, and it was as if he was seeing it for the first time such was his state after the fevered dreams. And the grace of the Lord was upon him and he walked among the merchants and smiled and looked at them in wonder as if a new born babe. 27And the merchants looked back at him in puzzlement, wondering if his state was apostagy, and fearing he was wroth with demons as others were. And the merchants and townspeople kept back and avoided Jacobean's gaze oweing to the oddness in his visage and the slovenly way he appeared. 28Jacobean came upon a merchant he had not seen before his fevered dreams, a seller of small items from a distant land. This merchant wore strange dress and strange jewelry and had a strange way about him and his name was Thectane. Jacobean came upon him and Thectane was not afraid and did not look upon him with puzzlement for he had seen many men similarly afflicted with the fever and welcomed him and offered to Jacobean all the courtesies he could provide. 29Jacobean declined all Thectane's pleasantries for he spied among his wares the very thing he had spent so long in seeking and Jacobean knew that today was the day the Lord had foretold and the power of the Lord had drawn him to Thectane and now he spied the second eye in the wares of Thectane. 30And lo, was the second eye revealed to Jacobean and he did rejoice, and fell upon his knees and spoke the holiest words to the Lord his God. And Thectane was abashed and looked upon Jacobean with puzzlement, and said unto Jacobean, this thing you desire means nothing to me, for it has no meaning for me, and if it means so much to you then you may keep it. 30Jacobean was filled with joy for the Lord had delivered to him the second eye and he had finally completed the tasks the Lord had demanded of him and his new child was finally whole. And Jacobean placed upon the gourd that was his new child's head the second eye and he was pleased and the Lord was pleased and Jacobean embraced his new child, not yet restored but Jacobean rejoiced besides, knowing that the Lord would deliver on the promise. 31For three days did Jacobean's child remain the collection of wood and bone and horse hair and buttons, and upon the third sunset, Jacobean fell into his fevered dreams and lo did his creation, that he had labored so hard upon, this creation was tranformed by the great Lord, finally. 32The Lord breathed life into the creation of Jacobean, and the thing became a boy, the new child of Jacobean. 33When the bright shining new day's sun rose into the sky, and the morning star followed after, Jacobean arose and with his new child went out into the city of Shibollah and spoke with the people of Shibollah telling them of how the Lord of Heaven breathed new life into the thing of wood and straw and the gourd that made up his head, and the leaden wire, and the rotted carrot, and the leaden pins, and the leaden buttons, strips of cloth and linen found among the filth of Shibollah, the leaden rogs, and the leaden rods, and the mud wrothed from the filthiest of places, and the item of Thectane's sacrifice to the Lord that was to be the second eye of the child. 34And though Jacobean told of the great triumph of the Lord of Heaven the sinning people of Shibollah listened not, for they were besot of demons and sinned before the Lord and therefore could not see the new child full of life with rose colored cheeks and the breath of life, all they saw was the creature of wire, and straw, and the gourd that was the head, and the leaden buttons, and the leaden rods, and the leaden pins, and the strips of cloth retrieved from the filth of Shibollah. 35Seeing Jacobean drag around the city this filthy construct they assumed he was wrought in the head with syphillis and poxy. They did not listen to Jacobean and kept not the covenant with the Lord, and kept among their wickedness and the Lord turned their back on them. 36 And the Lord spoke before all the faithful, though the unfaithful heard nothing. And what the Lord said was Rejoice in my love, ye that are faithful, see this new child and rejoice, and know that this child and the father, my most loyal servant Jacobean, will know no fear, no disease, no plague, no misfortune, and you will live out all your days in joy and love.
1In a quiet place near the town of Beth-Shai-Iado a great sea of beggers had gathered. They had gathered in the quiet place by following their prophet after John, Jesus the Nazarene, also called Yeshu bar Yoseph, also called Joshua bar Joseph. 2This place where the multitude of beggars had gathered was called by the Romans Irrumabo Festum Saltus, and it was a place of joy. 3The multitude had gathered for Jesus the Nazarene had come to this place in order to find a quiet place to think, after the death of John called The Baptist. 4For the Romans had put John called the Baptist to death for insurrection and had sundered his head from his form and tossed the head of John called the Baptist into the crowds of his followers. And woe until all that was there, the Nazarene was there verily in close proximity, in the row that beheld when the head of John called the Baptist was sundered from is form, and he was covered in the blood of John called the Baptist and even though he had worn a cloth that was meant for the rainy season, even this cloth did not protect from the gore and blood that spewed forth from the previous form of John called the Baptist. 5And then the romans severed the rude finger of John called the Baptist, for John called the Baptist had raised it in a gesture obscene to the Romans before they executed him. The finger of John called the Baptist was hurled into the crowd and as Jesus the Nazarene was in the first ranking of the crowd of followers of John called the Baptist it was Jesus the Nazarene who grasped the severed finger of John called the Baptist before the finger had fallen into the soiled ground. 6And Jesus the Nazarene held the sundered finger of John called the Baptist and cradled it as though it was an infant. Fearing the Romans would retrieve the sundered finger of John called the Baptist, Jesus the Nazarene hid the sundered finger of John called the Baptist into his froven-coat where it was safe. 7After Jesus the Nazarene had beheld the gore head of John called the Baptist he was wrought and shovernout and so he withdrew to a quiet place and met his special friend called Mary Margaret the Randy and they both withdrew to the quiet place where Jesus the Nazarene communed with the heavenly hosts on what the dismembering of John called the Baptist meant to the insurrection. 8 And after Jesus the Nazerene, even towards him, they did come, the multitude of beggars, and within the multitude of beggars came the cadre of John called the Baptist, for they also followed Jesus the Nazarene. And also within the multitude of beggars were the former followers of Jesus the Nazarene with their Essene brothers, and also within the multitude were beggars and sick from the town of Beth-Shai-Iado which was nearby. 9Among the people of Beth-Shai-Iado which came to the quiet place to find Jesus the Nazarene were a number of syphilitaics, and others suffered from hainks, and still others had limbs misshapen and mangled. 10And the infirm came to the quiet place for they had heard of the good works performed by Jesus the Nazarene and they did want their limbs to be mended and they wanted their syphillatic sores to cease seeping and to be closed and harm them no more. 11 When Jesus the Nazarene saw that the multitudes of sick and infirm had gathered, he went unto them and beheld their suffering and he was wrought. He left his friend Mary Margaret for he was completed of his quiet time with her and she had attended on his disciples for had gathered Peter, and Paul and Simon and lo even Thomas had come and his other disciples had come as well and Mary Margaret attended those that had gathered. 12And Jesus the Nazarene went unto the multitude and soothed the suffering. And he first went unto a man with syphilitic seepae and Jesus the Nazarene saw his suffering and knelt before the man and he was eased of his pain. And his sores did close. 13For Jesus the Nazarene had knelt before the man and with the merest touch of his tongue had cured the man of his ills. And there was rejoicing. 14Jesus the Nazarene then went among the multitude and found a man with limbs that had been mangled by Romans for his bread. And Jesus knelt and the man was healed and his limbs were straightened and he was well. 15Jesus the Nazarene next went to a woman that had suffered much wrought to her neithers and Jesus knelt and she was healed and the discharge was halted and did not smell of phlegum and smarich. 16Upon a hermit with whitened eyes did Jesus the Nazarene walk, and upon him did he give release and relief of his pain and lo then his eyes did clear and he was able to see again. Jesus the Nazarene did heal a canker upon the toe of Fat Josephus the caravan counter, and so was also healed Ranphor the basket maker whose hands curled into a claw that made his baskets of poor quality, and so he had been pummeled for his poor wares, but Jesus the Nazarene healed him of his claw hands and they were transformed back into the hands of a monkey very much like the hands of a man. 17Ho-tahp the Egyption was wroght of pubican malfaise and his discharge was so that even the beasts avoided his palinter and his palinter carriers did wear masks of smoking smitch and fragrances so they could bear the closeness of the palinter. So Jesus the Nazarene came before the Egyption and did heal him upon a cream of his essence that did cause the discharge to flow white and clear and he was healed in a number of days equal to the weight of three chicks and four eggs. 18Jesus the Nazarene did come upon a kneeling man who was called Rorirton the Simperian had bowels that were filled with phesphene and morgins and there was much hemphor released from his anus and did cause him great grief. As Jesus the Nazarene did place his lips on his pain did a great release occur and Rorirton was healed. 19A giver of quiet was apoxed in the path of the Nazarene and her name was Mary Margaret the Elder and she had given much comfort in her long life and it had wrought harm on her visage and smell. The Nazarene placed a hand on Mary and her joy was much pleased and did weep for the glory of the one true Lord who reigns from his throne in Heaven. 20A mule was much paniced and did stomp and bray and was much unpleasant to behold but the Nazarene did calm the mule with a carrot that was miraculously appeared from within his froven-coat and underloins. Jesus did much comfort give to the paniced mule and so the mule was quieted and much pleased by the surrounding multitude. 21Upon the quiet hump of a giver of quiet was Jesus much praised and did give it to healing and the woman whose name of quiet was Mary Shonaon of the Midlane. Her hump gave her much disquiet for the wroven hands of the Roman soldiers were roughened by their trade. Just a hand was lain on the woman and she was healed and the Nazarene knelt and wept into her, and the Lord was pleased. 22 The multitude saw the great healing works that Jesus of Nazareth had performed and they rejoiced all day and into the dusktime of night. Flowers and fragraries were thrusted into the air in celebration, lo did the multitude shower the Nazarene with these and he was pleased. 23Into a crowd of his Essene brothers did Jesus of Nazareth bestrode, and they did welcome him in their prescribed manner with the wetting of pressed lips and thighs and did they rejoice that they were together again in the house of the Lord under the sky. 24There were no sickness nor disease upon the Essenes for they had cleansed in the manner of the Lord and were free from bad vapor. 25 The death and horror of John called the Baptist was betold unto the brothers Essene and they wept for John called the Baptist was much of a friend and helper of the poor, which was also the way of the Essene brothers. 26Upon hearing of the death of John called the Baptist did the Essenes embrace as their newfound brother and leader of men and the sun of the Lord. They agreed to sweep through the multitudes as Jesus the Nazarene did help with the infirm and the sick and those with diseases of the foot and of the mouth and to help those with wrought limbs that twist and turn on themselves. To go among the beggars and quiet women and the hungry children and to heal the syphilitic and those with leprosy and those with the vapor of poxia so called by the Greek. 27Among those humers that they must heal were the cleansing of discharges, both those from normal orfices and those from pusules and postulae, and phlegam and smirtch and to ease the suffering of those with phesphene and strocks. Ampulea and westnes must be cleaned and stretched, and so did this the brothers of the Essene with Jesus the Nazarene, as they also cleansed the accum of foulness from the neithers of the infirm that could not do so themselves, and this they did and the Lord was pleased. 28Upon the suffering of the weak and infirm was a mighty struggle that was much welcomed by the beggars and quiet woman and to a lesser extent by the brothers Essene. All manners of sickness was eased and the suffering of the multitude was eased. 29The disciples of Jesus were assembled and among them was Mary Margaret, and Mary Margaret the Lesser, and Mary Margaret of the Long Bones, and Mary Shoanan of the Ankles and Mary Margaret of the Lauger and they gathered and saw the good that was wrought among the suffering of the multitude by Jesus the Nazareth and the brothers Essene. 30When night was drought, Jesus came upon the party of the disciples and with Mary Margaret the Favorite did Jesus commune with the host of angels of the Lord. And then Matthew knelt before Jesus and said "the multitude has come but they must return for the night is near and there is not enough food nor wine for them and us." 31And Jesus looked upon the meager provisions that the boy had brought. The fishermen disciples had looked with favor on the boy and the boy had brought joy and two fish and five loaves of leavened bread. "The multitude can stay, for the Lord of All will provide for us, and this meager ration before us will be enough to feed the five thousand that have gathered." 32Luke, the favored of Jesus, and Mary Margaret the Favored did then come before Jesus and said "but by counting by my reckoning not nearly three score of the multitude besides the handful of brothers Essene, but if the meager offering is true then how will it feed even that many?" 33Jesus smiled down upon his disciple, Luke and Mary Margaret the Favored and he bade them look upon the fish that the boy had brought, and Jesus did cut the fish very finely, and then upon those pieces that had been separated from the boney fish, did Jesus even cut again, and again, until the fish had been made into a finely layered heap that almost resembled a paste. 34And did Jesus add to the flux of the finely cut fish, onions from the field and spices and heatness from a local plant that did burn the mouth with pleasure. Cream of his essence was added with the sweet water of the spring of the glade, 35and so did the two fish the boy had brought be made into a sauce, and then did add to the great bowl even more of the sweet water until it was even thinner and more viscous and it was poured into bowls upon which the leavened loaves could be torn to pieces and placed into the bowl and be moistened and enriched with flavors and they were pleased and much feasting there was. 36Before Jesus came Matthew again, and again said "But the leavened loaves even though torn into small pieces are still not numerous enough for the multitude of our followers". And Jesus said "Look unto the brothers Essene who now have unweighed their pitas and pith-breads and pink biscuits and are spreading them among the multitude." 37 And so it was, and all had a bowl of the sweetsauce and some had pith-bread and some had biscuits and some used the pieces of the leavened loaves but all were placed into the bowls to moisten and enflavor the breads and there was much rejoicing and all was praised to the Lord of the sky and the earth.
