Chapter 349

This is a very sinister trickery. The elder's question contains a trap for Jesus. Jesus was preaching in the square, surrounded by people, that if he answered that he should not pay taxes to the Maronites, he would not only violate the law of the Marlow Empire, but also be guilty of inciting people to riot. He would be taken away immediately by the soldiers on duty.

But if Jesus answers "should," he will lose his popular support. The expected Messiah is the Savior of all the Salem and Samaritans. It is believed that this king of Salem will lead them to establish a new kingdom, conquer the mare Empire and rule the land of Tianshu. What's more, the elder's words also have a more important premise. People buy birds and let them fly in order to offer sacrifices to aroha, but they have to pay taxes to the Malo people. How can we explain this?

Jesus knew the elder's trick, but with a slight sneer, he reached out and took a coin from his disciples. He raised the coin and asked, "whose head is on this coin?"

"Caesar," they said ——Caesar and Augustus were not only the names of the two Maruo rulers who were famous in the mainland at that time, but also became the honorific titles and titles of the emperors of Marlowe.

Jesus said in a loud voice, "let Caesar's belong to Caesar! God doesn't need it! Have you ever heard of the privilege of entering the kingdom of heaven with money? It can only be used to buy a place from the priests in the temple square, set up a place to sell birds, and tempt people to buy birds and let them fly. God would be angry if he offered sacrifices to aroha, but destroyed the living creatures in the name of God. "

With a flick of his finger, the coin flew out with a noise and landed at the elder's feet. He was very clever to get rid of the elder's entanglement, but he did not expose the trap in the elder's questioning. As long as the Maruo empire was still the ruler of Tianshu, and the coins used here still had the head of Caesar on them, the merchants would naturally pay taxes to the Empire.

Jesus tells people what is the real world and the ideal world, what is the human world seen, and what is the kingdom of heaven guided by God? The MAROS conquered the Tianshu continent, but also provided roads and water conservancy projects to stop the conflicts among different tribes. It was not only Salem merchants who needed to pay taxes, but also the MAROS themselves in all places under the rule of the Marlow empire.

But what about the kingdom of Aloha? This is not what God needs, but the true faith in the soul, through all kinds of tests, to reach the Kingdom beyond eternal life. It was another world, a kingdom totally different from the human world.

The people listened attentively to Jesus with admiration. The elder was embarrassed to stand there. It was he who said that he wanted to ask Jesus if he had a problem, and he used the tone of asking for advice. And Jesus' great "teaching" him in front of the crowd, this honored elder is now one of the audience, and he does not show his due authority in front of Jesus.

It's a shame to run out on your own initiative, and to give Jesus credit with your dignity! The elder thought and made another move. Holding the five fingers of the staff tightly, he quietly launched the curse magic art. He is worthy of being a great magician. He doesn't leave any trace in casting among thousands of people. He wants to make Jesus feel that his body is heavy, his knees are soft and his head and shoulders are leaning forward. He kneels down and salutes him in public.

The mysterious magic art unfolds, but it seems that there is no response like a bullock into the sea. Jesus was still standing there preaching to the people, and his tone was not disturbed.

In terms of divinity, Jesus was much better than the elder. He knew what the elder was doing, but he didn't pay any attention to it. The best way to deal with curse divinity is praying divinity. In Jesus' form and spirit, there are two tears of the gods. One is passive refining, the other is his active integration into the soul imprint. This flesh and blood body is also an excellent artifact for praying. Even if he does nothing, the elder's curse will not produce any effect.

Naturally, the people around him did not know all this, but at this moment, something that made people dumbfounded and then elated and encouraged happened. The elder suddenly flattened his staff, his knees softened, and he fell on his knees in front of him. He held down the staff with both hands and held his forehead and lips on the ground. Then he straightened up his arms to support his upper body. He bowed his arms and worshipped again and again for three times, regardless of the dust on his robe and forehead.

The twelve elders in the Aloha temple in Salem are the supreme beings representing the authority of the gods among the people of Salem. They never salute the living people outside the statues. Only the son of God can enjoy this kind of courtesy! The elder's action is undoubtedly the approval of Jesus' identity, and people are very excited.

The elder knelt down, and it was impossible for everyone to stand. In an instant, the crowd on the temple square fell to their knees. The disciples also bowed down to their guides, and Jesus was left standing in the square, and the donkey behind him was the last to kneel down.

No one noticed a detail. Just as the elder failed to perform his curse magic, the donkey behind Jesus suddenly raised a front hoof and stamped it gently on the ground. The elder immediately knelt down inexplicably, not because he wanted to kneel, but by an irresistible force. The elder struggled to get up, and the donkey stomped again. The elder's arms, which had just been straightened up, couldn't hold on and worshipped again.

The donkey stamped three feet in succession, and the elder worshipped three times. At this time, all the people in the square also knelt down. The donkey stopped as soon as it was OK. He took advantage of the situation to bend down a pair of front legs and make a kneeling salute. At the same time, he bowed his head and touched the ground.The donkey knelt down, but the elder stood up. He saw that all the people in the square were kneeling to Jesus because of his actions. The elder was so ashamed and angry that he could hardly face anyone! His body turned into smoke and flew away quickly. He flashed into the temple and disappeared. On the same day, the elder left a document to resign as the temple elder, and from then on he closed the door to thank guests.

Jesus intentionally or unintentionally turned around and glared at the donkey, but said nothing. In this case, what can be compared with a donkey? He opened his arms to the crowd and said, "get up!"

When Jesus entered Salem, he decided not to show any miracles that might disturb or confuse people's beliefs. If he wants to get the elder to kneel down, Jesus has plenty of means. There is no need for madanzo, who has become a donkey, to intervene. What Jesus needs is not formal kneeling, neither temptation nor coercion. What he needs is sincere faith in his soul.

If we can prove the realm that Amun pursues by that means, why should he come to the world so hard?

The effect of this prank made by medanzo was very good. Everyone knelt down to Josef. But when Jesus left Salem that day, he ordered his disciples to take the donkey back to the borrowed village and return it to its master.

……

What happened in the square made a temple elder close his door and no longer see people. It was a kind of public humiliation, which was absolutely unacceptable in his capacity. But others don't know the inside story. The elder didn't say anything to anyone. It's absolutely shameful to talk about it! The other eleven elders also felt a chill and fear in their hearts. If they had only wanted to take Jesus to sin, now they have unanimously decided that he must be executed!

……

Jesus preached in the Temple Square during the day, returned to the village of Bethany at night, entered Salem seven times, and did not ride the donkey again in the last few days. The festival has reached the seventh day, and the celebration is coming to an end. The people who have poured into Salem from all directions are packing up their things and will be scattered tomorrow.

Jesus did not leave Salem on that day. He said to his disciples, "go to wel Fromm. I ask him to prepare a dinner for us today. In a quiet and undisturbed place, you should go there and wait for me."

Will Fromm was the only one of those patients who ran back to Jesus.

All the disciples left, but Jesus left Judas alone. Jesus and his disciples, as a small group, also need to spend money to buy all kinds of things and prepare the materials needed to travel around the world. Judas was very capable and meticulous. He was in charge of managing money and purchasing all kinds of goods. He spent most of his time alone.

Jesus took Judas through the streets of Salem. There were crowds everywhere. It was strange that no one could recognize Jesus! Jesus preached to the people in the temple square seven days in a row that when he stood in the center of the people, everyone knew it was the son. But when he was walking in the crowd, he was still wearing a common robe and bare feet, and he looked like everyone else. Even if he walked face-to-face, no one realized that he was Jesus.

The scope of Salem city is very large, which is due to the scale built by link at that time. In the whole outer city, there are some mountains, even farms and trees. Jesus took Judas out of the inner city and into the outer city. He stopped and turned around and said, "Judas, my disciple, today I want to ask you - do you understand why I gave you such a name?"

Judas's shoulders trembled. He looked as if he had finally waited for something that had been waiting for a long time. He bowed down and said, "Dear guide, maybe I shouldn't call you the son, because you are the one I didn't know why, but not long ago, I finally understood

Jesus said quietly, "Congratulations, you have passed the test of life. What do you understand?"

Judas replied, "four hundred years ago there was no Salem, and the great flood did not come. This is a place called Duke. A young miner named Amun was lucky to mine a precious tear of gods. At that time, rod Dick, the city master of the Cape city of eju, was bringing the candidate saint to Duke town to look for the tears of the gods.

When the tears of the gods appeared, Lord Dick ordered his clerk to take thirty gold coins to reward the young man, but the clerk only gave him thirty silver coins and took away the tears in the name of Isis. Not only was the teenager unable to pay taxes on 20 gold coins owed by his family, but he almost cut off a finger in front of Muyun temple. The name of the scribe is Fayol Judas. "
