The Urantia Book -- Part IV. The Life And
Teachings Of Jesus
PAPER 192: Section 3.
On The Mount Of Ordination
P2050:1, 192:3.1
At noon on Saturday, April 22, the eleven apostles assembled by appointment
on the hill near Capernaum, and Jesus appeared among them. This meeting occurred
on the very mount where the Master had set them apart as his apostles and as
ambassadors of the Father's kingdom on earth. And this was the Master's fourteenth
morontia manifestation.
P2050:2, 192:3.2
At this time the eleven apostles knelt in a circle about the Master and heard
him repeat the charges and saw him re-enact the ordination scene even as when
they were first set apart for the special work of the kingdom. And all of this
was to them as a memory of their former consecration to the Father's service,
except the Master's prayer. When the Master -- the morontia Jesus -- now prayed,
it was in tones of majesty and with words of power such as the apostles had
never before heard. Their Master now spoke with the rulers of the universes
as one who, in his own universe, had had all power and authority committed to
his hand. And these eleven men never forgot this experience of the morontia
rededication to the former pledges of
ambassadorship. The Master spent just
one hour on this mount with his ambassadors, and when he had taken an affectionate
farewell of them, he vanished from their sight.
P2050:3, 192:3.3
And no one saw Jesus for a full week. The apostles really had no idea what
to do, not knowing whether the Master had gone to the Father. In this state
of uncertainty they tarried at Bethsaida. They were afraid to go fishing lest
he come to visit them and they miss seeing him. During this entire week Jesus
was occupied with the morontia creatures on earth and with the affairs of
the morontia transition which he was experiencing on this world.
