I AM HERE. Jesus.

I was never in India and Greece, and those other places, studying the philosophies of the Greek and Indian philosophers. I never received my knowledge from any other sources than my Father, in my communications with Him, and from the teachings of the Jewish Scriptures. After my return from Egypt, and until I started on my public ministry, I lived at home in Nazareth with my parents all the years of my life.

Neither John nor Paul ever communicated that I was in these foreign countries studying the philosophies of the teachers they name. John never travelled with me outside of Palestine, and I never saw Paul while on earth.

John was a man of very affectionate nature. He was with me a great deal during my ministry, but he was not what was called a learned man; nor was he acquainted with the philosophies of the men mentioned. He was merely the son of a lowly fisherman who was selected by me for one of my disciples because of his susceptibility to my teachings and the great possibility of his developing the Love Principle. So, you must not believe the statements contained in that book on this subject.

Well, you must stop. But remember that I am with you and love you.

Your friend and brother,

JESUS.
