Therefore remain faithful to Me, as long as you live in the flesh, and I will also give you, as I have assured you all many times and even shown you, the neverending eternal life in My kingdom. Amen!” [12] At this I quickly began the journey, where the companions watched us for a good hour and sent their greetings and good wishes after us.

[2] But I said to him: “Just come up to the Temple tomorrow and there you will see what I will do to the Pharisees! Tomorrow they shall learn exactly and without reservation who they are dealing with in Me!” [3] Our innkeeper was very happy with this and again brought us more than enough bread and wine. He already heard much about Me, but even he did not yet know who I actually am, although My disciples gave him several hints, which he accepted well. Soon afterward we headed to bed. 165
