My spirits were lifted when he passed by my door one evening. He said to me, "Come on, Lemmy, please come with me." I followed him that day. The next evening, I asked him to come to my house as a guest.He and his friends walked on the threshold of my house and blessed me and my wife and children. I also invited other guests, tax collectors and pedants, who were hostile to Jesus. We sat down at the banquet, and a tax collector asked Jesus, "Is it true that you and your disciples broke the law and lit a fire on the Sabbath?" Jesus replied, "We do light a fire on the Sabbath, and we would like to keep the Sabbath burning, and we would like to burn with our torches all the dry branches of the ages."

Another tax collector said: "We also heard that you drink with low-class people in the inn." Jesus replied, "Indeed, we also want to comfort these people. Have we come here only to share food with those of you who have lost your crown and treasure?" "There are very few unfeathered ones who bravely fight the wind; but there are many full-fledged ones who guard the nest together." "The sluggish and the swift we shall feed with glances." Another tax collector sneered, "Someone said that you want to shelter the prostitutes in Jerusalem. Am I mistaken?"

At this moment, I saw the expression of Jesus like a towering rock in Lebanon.He replied, "And this is true. On the Day of Reckoning, these women will stand before My Father's throne, and they will be washed clean by their own tears. But you, will be bound by the chains of your own will." "Babylon was not destroyed by prostitutes; the reason why Babylon was wiped out for the first time was to prevent the hypocrites in the city from seeing the light of day again." Several other tax collectors wanted to question him, but I motioned them to shut up.I know Jesus will refute them, but they are also my guests, and I don't want them to be humiliated.

In the middle of the night, the tax collectors left my house and left in a huff. At this time, I closed my eyes, and I seemed to see in a trance: seven women in white clothes were standing around Jesus, their arms were folded in front of their chests, and their heads were bowed.I fixed my eyes on this misty dream, and saw clearly the face of one of the women, shining in my dim hallucination. This is the face of a prostitute in Jerusalem. Then I opened my eyes and saw him smiling at me and the remaining guests. I closed my eyes again, and by a light, I saw seven men in white clothes standing around Jesus this time, and I could clearly see the face of one of them.

This is the face of the thief who was later crucified on the right hand of Jesus. After some hours, Jesus and his companions left my house and took their leave.
