The greatest danger to Jesus lay in the Jerusalem religious leaders and not in Herod. And it was for this very reason that Jesus and the apostles spent so much time and did most of their public preaching in Galilee rather than at Jerusalem and in Judea. (1647.2) [147:0.2]

Jesus had therefore decided to spend some time in retirement rehearsing his apostles and then to do some quiet work . . . until John should be either executed or released to join them in a united effort.” (1617.3) [144:0.3]

“Besides teaching in and about the temple, the apostles and other believers were engaged in doing much personal work among the Passover throngs. These interested men and women carried the news of Jesus’ message from this Passover celebration to the uttermost parts of the Roman Empire and also to the East. This was the beginning of the spread of the gospel of the kingdom to the outside world. No longer was the work of Jesus to be confined to Palestine.” (1596.9) [142:1.7]

Andrew was somewhat startled to see the Master thus affected . . . and he ventured to . . . ask: “On this great day, Master, when we are to depart for Jerusalem to proclaim the Father’s kingdom, why is it that you weep? . . .” And Jesus . . . answered him: “No one of you has grieved me. I am saddened only because none of my father Joseph’s family have remembered to come over to bid us Godspeed.” (1587.2) [141:0.2]
