01] Now the Greek Philopold from Kana in Samaria came to Me and said: “Lord, I have been now over three days with You but could not find one moment to discuss with You what I according to Your will have accomplished, and how through my preaching which I gave them after Your departure from Kana, have converted all to believe in You.

They went there to settle everything about the tenth of the estate and about the funeral; since after death they had no right anymore to the inheritance, because the ill has departed without their support, – in which case the state acted as heir. When thus the pharisees arrived already late at night when the people of the house began to go to bed, the greedy transporters of souls into the aftermath showed very disappointed faces when they found the people of the house in the best of health of whom they were expecting at least half of them to be dead already.

[01] Say the elder: “We now admit that you are right to a certain extend, – but not with everything; therefore you are lacking at least twenty years experience. The temple looks like you have told us; but it was not always like this. For if you are able to think thoroughly and logically, you must necessarily accept the statement as undeniable true: ‘If something true and real never existed, no person could ever think to replicate something false and untrue.’ Why does one in our over-informed time of all kinds of arts come across false diamonds, false pearls, as well as false gold and silver?
