Chapter 348

The grand celebration finally began. All the people gathered in Salem, and people came from all directions, making every street crowded. Jesus and his disciples also left the village to go to Salem. He did not have the stick cut from the branch in his hand. On the night when he met the two angels, he returned the staff to Moses. Jesus no longer needed the artifact.

The disciples said, "Dear guide, there are many people in Salem who are looking forward to your coming. Everyone will come to meet you. In order to see you in the crowd, you'd better not walk."

Jesus thought about it and nodded, "go to the village ahead and borrow me a donkey. Tell your master that Jesus will use it and return it soon."

Elijah and Moses had opened the way in front of them. They had been advised to leave by Jesus, but medanzo and link were still following. Jesus dissuaded them, but did not order them to leave. At the moment, link suddenly said, "there seems to be a legend in Salem plain that the Messiah arrived not on a horse, but on a gentle donkey."

Medanzo was stunned: "is there such a legend? That's easy! I'll become that donkey. "

Link: didn't God Amun tell us to stop meddling in Jesus' affairs on earth

Medanzo shook his head and said, "it's no meddling. We haven't done anything else. Jesus has ordered his disciples to find the donkey. Go and let them find it

The two angels quickly went to the village ahead. Medanzo turned into a donkey, and Linke became the owner of the donkey and stood at the intersection with the donkey. There are still several donkeys in the village, but it is the one that madanzo has become the most conspicuous one. The disciples came to borrow the donkey according to Jesus' words. Link gave them the donkey very happily.

When people heard of the arrival of the Son Jesus, they rushed out of the city to welcome him. A large crowd cheered and called out the name of the son. Some even bowed down on both sides of the road. The men in front took off their robes and spread them on the road. Others broke down the twigs with leaves and spread them on the ground to let Jesus, who was riding on a donkey, pass by.

Along the way, there were cheers: "Messiah, our Savior, he is coming!" The huge crowd moved slowly, and the son rode into Salem on his donkey.

……

When the elders of the temple of Aloha heard that Jesus had come, they gathered together and plotted against his plan. An elder said: "there are too many people now, so it's not easy to start with. Many people believe that Jesus is the son of God. If we arrest him in public, we may stir up a popular revolt, and he will easily escape and become passive."

Another elder said, "we can wait until the last night of the celebration when the crowds from all over the country have dispersed."

The elder said: "it's better to catch him when he's alone. There are many followers of him. We'd better buy a spy."

Another elder nodded and said, "this should be done! More importantly, how to judge him must make people believe that he is a liar and a guide of pretending to be a god! In that case, his followers will turn to hate him

At this time, another elder said: "there is no need to worry about judging him. If he claims to be a savior, but he can't even save himself, it proves everything! But in these seven days, shall we bear his preaching to the people in front of the temple door? No, I'm going to find him. Don't forget, there's the governor of the Marlow empire. What do the Marxists think of Jesus, who calls himself Messiah

……

Jesus finally came to the temple of Aloha, which was first built in the era of David Solomon. After hundreds of years of repair, it has become more and more magnificent. It's far away from all the buildings, on a high ground in the city, in front of which is a very large square. This is also a place for people to gather. As long as there are many people, there will be opportunities to earn money. Naturally, small traders and hawkers will not miss it. What's more, those cold people who can do business especially?

The disciples were astonished at what they saw. Many itinerant peddlers, carrying parcels, baskets and pushing carts, yelled and sold one after another among the crowd. Then there were those who, with the permission of the Temple priests or the Temple priests working with people, set up sheds in a place around the temple square to sell birds of all kinds and persuade pilgrims to buy them and fly them as sacrifices to the gods.

Birds were flying in the square, feathers and droppings from time to time. The captured birds were frightened and dying in their cages; many of the birds that were bought and set free fell wearily in the woods not far away, and some people took them back and sold them again.

Jesus came to the square, closed his eyes, and heard the whine of birds of all kinds, with a solemn expression and a faint anger. When his followers saw him like this, they realized that the son might have something to say, so they waited quietly. Sure enough, Jesus opened his eyes and said, "people who really follow me, go and tear down the stalls where birds are sold, and let all the birds fly out of the city!"

Jesus never gave his followers any orders or made them do anything for themselves. Today is the first time. All the people heard the son's words clearly. People crowded up to push down the stalls, took all the cages, and sent the panic stricken birds to the city wall and let them fly. After the chaos, the square became clean again.Some people were stunned by Jesus' actions. He was offending the priests in the temple. If you can sell birds sacrificed to Aloha in this shed, you must get the permission of the priests. The so-called "permission" is to give benefits to the priests. In fact, many stalls are set up by the priests themselves, which is a way to make money in celebration activities.

A priest came out of the crowd and asked Jesus, "who are you? How can you do that! The birds on sale in these stalls are for people to fly. The pilgrims bought the birds and let them fly as a sacrifice to God; the freedom of the birds also symbolized the salvation of God. You are blasphemous to encourage people to tear down their stalls! "

Jesus said, "if it's a domestic chicken, do you need people to let it go? Those birds were captured from the wild by the stall owner. I don't know how many innocent people were killed and injured under the net. They were tortured in the cage. They were frightened when they were released in the square. When they flew into the forest, they would be captured by the stall owners.

Some people do this in the name of sacrificing to God and showing God's mercy by coveting money in the pocket of pilgrims. God didn't enjoy it. Money just went into the pockets of the greedy. Don't think that the people here don't know. The stalls selling birds are related to the priests in the temple, otherwise they can't be built in the temple square.

What they do with you is blasphemy! If you think that releasing the caged birds is to sacrifice to God and show the grace of God, why do you want to sell them in cages? You should have let those birds go, shouldn't you? "

There was a commotion, and the priest's face was red and he was shaking with anger, but he did not know how to refute it. In fact, many people know that many of the stalls for selling birds are opened by the priests. Even if they are not opened by the priests, the priests also receive benefits. However, Jesus made it clear in public that he had offended all the priests who were making profits from it!

Who has the courage to do this in the Temple Square? He is contemptuous of the most authoritative person in this land! The priest was also very puzzled when someone called out, "priest, you can see clearly that this is Jesus the son."

When the priest heard the name, he shivered for no reason and walked into the crowd. The people gathered around the son of Jesus, shouting the name of Jesus. Jesus stretched out his arm to make everyone quiet, and then he preached to them in this temple square.

He didn't know how many times he had lectured in different places, but the audience today was the largest. His voice is so mellow, so large a square, just can let everyone clearly hear. Although he was wearing an ordinary robe, it seemed that he was covered with a layer of sacred glory. If his followers believed in his identity, they would feel solemn and sacred. The description just like ordinary people also adds a simple sense of mystery.

After the preaching, Jesus led the people to a prayer ceremony. When night fell, Salem was still full of traffic and crowded. Pilgrims from all over the country could not find a place to live, so they took a rest on the roadside or open space. Jesus took his disciples out of the city and returned to the villages in the countryside of Bethany, and the next day he entered Salem.

The next day, when Jesus continued to preach in the temple square, the crowd suddenly separated and came to a middle-aged man in a white robe and holding a noble staff. Many people here know him. He is one of the twelve elders of Aloha temple in Salem city and is said to be a great magician.

It has been a custom for many years that people bow to the elder. The elder nodded to the people with a modest look, and then walked to Jesus. He said calmly, "Jesus, I hear that you call yourself the Messiah predicted by Elijah. Yesterday, you incited the people to demolish all the stalls selling birds in the square?"

Jesus answered frankly, "this elder, if you call me that, I don't deny it. As for why the stalls were demolished, you should know the reason better than I do. Do you want to be guilty here? "

The elder shook his head and said, "no, no, no, I don't want to blame that. You do that for your own reasons, which will make it easier for you to win the hearts of the people. But the stalls, which were set up in the temple square, were also allowed by the MAROS, who also had to pay taxes on the sale of birds. I would like to ask you a question: should the salamanders pay taxes to the MAROS? People bought the birds and let them fly. They sacrificed them to Aloha! ——Can you answer this question, you Messiah? "
