Chapter 339: 341. Which of you is righteous?

When Amon led the disciple into the synagogue, the wounded man knelt before Joseph under the support of his family, while the people of the town watched. There is sympathy for this unfortunate wounded man in the hope that Joseph will heal him, and there is also a sense of bliss, such as the Salem priests in the temple.

This is a dilemma, and if Joseph does not heal the wounded, he violates his propaganda for the mercy of Aroho. But if Joseph were to heal the wounded today, he would violate the so-called commandments of the elders of Salem. And Joseph looked around and understood what was going on, and the priests of Salem deliberately gave him this difficulty, waiting to grab him.

And Joseph stretched out his hand one step ahead to lift up the wounded man: "God loves men, get up. ”

The wounded man was brought up by a force, still crying out there: "I hear you preached Arojo's beliefs everywhere, healing people all the way, is a magical doctor. Please fix this arm for me too!” He grabbed Joseph's arm while he was talking.

And Joseph smiled back and said, "Stranger, with which hand are you holding me?” The injured man stood still, immediately followed by the entire room, because he grabbed Joseph's sleeve with his injured unconscious hand.

Just as Joseph grabbed his arm and got him up, he cured his arm in silence. That is not a serious injury, but it is also likely to leave a disability if it is not treated in a timely manner. Joseph didn't tell him "I'm curing you” or “I'm curing you”, and he reached out.

The man moved his arm and, in addition to some torn joints, his entire arm had fully regained consciousness and mobility. He exclaimed, "Thank you, thank God! You must be the messenger of God, reciting the voice of God! ”

“Wow...!” Everyone in the room exclaimed and began to whisper and admire the wonders of Joseph. The temple priests who were waiting to see the buzz were a little grey-headed, and they were looking for something in the course of Joseph's cure. If Joseph is a doctor, always treat the patient; if Joseph is a magician, always perform magic? But Joseph was more intelligent than they could have imagined, and the pain was resolved in the armpit alone.

The disciples of Joseph couldn't help but think it was funny that this wounded man was in a misaligned joint. Do you need to make such a big scene? It's like a show!

And Joseph did not forget those who wanted to embarrass him with this, and he looked around and said, “Today is the Sabbath, and God promised Moses - ‘The people are struggling, and after six days of work they shall rest in peace, and they shall not be driven to work.’ This is what God is telling us to do with good intentions, not to refuse to do good on the Sabbath, otherwise it would be against God's will.

I know all about it when someone refused to treat this poor wounded man on the Sabbath and asked him to come here and beg me. I'd like to ask you all, including these people, if you fall on the Sabbath, does Hitch want you to reach out and help? God guides us away from sin, from intimacy, from good deeds, and if someone commits a sin on the Sabbath, should we not stop him?

The Sabbath can and should be rested, but when it comes to what needs to be done, it also needs to be done, let alone stop others from being kind. Stopping good is evil, stopping evil is good! What do you think the Sabbath will be like? What choice does God have in mind? ”

After saying this, Joseph led the disciple away from the venue and went to rest under a big tree by the river beside the town, but what happened in the venue spread throughout the town.

In the evening, constant tribute was paid to Joseph beneath the tree and various meals were brought to him and his disciples. It was as if the people of the town were grateful for what he had done and for the inspiration he had given them.

Not only did Joseph solve the ordeal of the Salem priest, but he was also welcomed by the locals. The next day, when he preached under the trees, many people gathered around him, and people stopped even going to the temple hall. Obviously, people are more willing to get Arocho's guidance from Joseph if they choose to.

Such a scene gave several priests in the Temple of Salem a sense of inner chill, and the advent of Joseph meant that their position was shaken. Beneath that tree by the river, because the presence of Joseph became a temple in people's minds. This person can no longer continue to do so, and they are prepared to write to the elders of Salem City to report what is happening here - a new and dangerous figure that must be removed.

At that time, a priest said: "Yesterday, Joseph said in the diocese, 'Stop evil is good, stop good is evil’. It is reported today that he preached God's forgiveness and mercy under the tree. So we asked him one more question, and the mayor took the sheriff to catch a criminal, and he asked them to take him down to the tree by the river to see what Joseph would do about it? ”

……

Joseph was preaching to the townspeople under the tree, and suddenly there was a noise coming from afar, and someone was shouting, "Townspeople, stop the criminal and stone him! ”

One fell into the crowd and was quickly held back by those around him, and Joseph's speech was interrupted, and everyone was watching the captured fugitive. Someone recognised him and shouted, "Oh, my God, isn't that Joe Chiang? That sinful villain, thanking God, finally caught him! ”

The fugitive named Qiu Qianzhi seemed to know what occasion he had arrived. He raised his head and shouted, "Why did you arrest me? Which of you is the righteous man of total purity? Tell me, if any of you are not guilty before God, you can stone me to death, and if not, what qualifies you to accuse me of my sins? In front of Arojo, the world is a sinner. Why are you tying me here when someone is preaching God's forgiveness and mercy? ”

Instead of shouting to the townspeople, it's more about questioning Joseph. Qiu Qianzhu shouted only at Joseph. The talking room had stood up. He was fierce and very disgraceful, and the sheriff of the town had not stopped him. Yet he had not yet taken two steps, and Joseph had lifted up his staff and knocked him to the ground.

Qiu Qianju was bitten by a mouth, struggling to never climb up again.

Just listen to Joseph and drink: "Your sin is your sin. Even if you had escaped, you would not prove your innocence. You are now captured because of what you have done. The existence of evil in the world is not an excuse for you to do evil, choices have consequences. Everyone's fault deserves to be punished, and because there are so many crimes in the world, guilt can be acquitted, and mistakes can be right.

Even if there is no righteous man here, you should also be punished so that the world can be further away from sin and closer to good deeds. Man is not only righteous, but he cannot condone sin from shaming himself. Since you know your sins, it means that you understand the consequences while making choices. Even if you are free from pursuit, you must accept hatred and condemnation, and if everyone is guilty, you must not prove that your crimes are noble.

Man may not be righteous, but he cannot laugh at righteous men, and he cannot accuse others of not righteousness because of his wrongs. That is a deeper sin. Why do we need to examine the heart, God's forgiveness and mercy, and what does that mean? If people look inside and openly bear the consequences for what they do, they can welcome the rebirth of the soul. The new life of this soul is not only after your death, but also after you have borne the price you deserve, not to continue such evil as it is today. Otherwise you will never be free, either in the world or in hell.

It is not evil that punishes evil; good punishes evil. Look at the sheriff behind you, he may have stolen a neighbor's chicken when he was a kid, but that doesn't mean he can't do his job to catch you, and if he allows you to continue committing crimes, that's his unforgivable and unforgivable crime.... Sheriff, what are you still standing there for? Let this man interrupt my speech with Satan's voice? Do your duty and escort him to your official post. ”

Qiu Qianqian was beaten by a scepter of Joseph, and his whole body was weak enough to struggle. In the crowd's sights, the mayor ordered the sheriff to take him away.

People are still talking about what Joseph just said, and one of Joseph's disciples is also named John, the famous baptist John. He frowned and whispered to his companion: "Joseph's words make sense, but if they spread out like this, it would probably affect the teacher's reputation. Almost everyone in this world has made mistakes, has sinful thoughts in their hearts, and they want God's forgiveness in prayer. Our guide is supposed to be a forgiver, something like that is not enough to describe his great affair. ”

Another disciple whispered, “We can tell people another story, where a man who made a mistake kneels before Jesus, and Jesus asks people —— who are you righteous? ”

John nodded: “People prefer to hear about it, it's more infectious! ”

And it was at that moment that Joseph sighed and asked the people, "Which of us is righteous?” John, speaking, shocked another disciple and hurried to listen to the sermon.

Just listen to Joseph continue: "Let us hold a ceremony and pray to Arocha. This prayer is not only for God, but also for ourselves. We have no reason to impose evil on others. God's forgiveness and mercy are forgiveness for the pure soul. Even if our souls have not been cleansed, do not lose true guidance, away from the direction of light. ”

His words were heard to the people and to the disciples. After that, he knelt with his staff under the tree and entered a state of prayer and meditation. Everyone around them also knelt down and learned the look of Jesus in prayer.

After a long time, suddenly a shout broke the tranquillity under the tree, people on one side jumped up and avoided, making incredible shouts and shouts. Joseph opened his eyes to the past and saw a big dog bear sometime mixed into the crowd, learning to kneel there like a human being, a pair of foreclaws in front of his chest with his head down to make a prayer.
