Chapter 50 Bartholomew in Ephesus

The enemies of Jesus said that he preached to the slaves and the untouchables, inciting them to rebel against their masters; But let's look at who Jesus' disciples were and how he led them. At first he chose for his companions some men from the Northland, free men, strong and strong, and courageous.In the past forty years, they have dedicated themselves bravely and looked at death as home. Do you think these people are slaves or untouchables? Do you think the proud princes of Lebanon and Armenia forget their place when they accept Jesus as a prophet sent by God? Do you think that the sons and daughters of the noblemen of Antioch, Byzantium, Athens, and Rome would be moved by the voice of a slave leader?

No, the Nazarene was not with the slave against the master, nor with the master against the slave.He gangs up with no one against anyone else. He is above all others, and the blood rushing in his flesh sings with passion and strength. If nobility consists in appraising others, he is the noblest of all beings; if freedom is manifested in thought, word, and action, he is the freest of all beings; Detached but always gentle and kind, he is the most noble of all living beings. Don't forget that only the strong and fast runners will win the competition and win the crown.Jesus was crowned both by those who loved him and by his enemies, although they didn't know it.

To this day, the priestesses of Artemis still coronate him every day in hidden corners of the temple.
