Chapter 27 - The Disciples' Agitation
1. After Jmmanuel had finished speaking, the disciples became agitated and said, "Why don't we capture Juda Ihariot and stone him, so he can't betray you?"
2. But Jmmanuel was angry and said, "Don't you know that the law says: 'You shall not kill out of degeneration', and don't you know what I prophesied to you, that I shall be crucified in order to gain a special insight?
3. "How dare you disrespect the fulfilment of the law, for thus it is given and intended?
4. "Just as I walk on my path, so each person will have to walk on their path.
5. "Truly, I say to you, if I were not to follow my destiny, how could I be in position to fulfil my mission, which will lead me to India?
6. "Oh, you who lack courage and knowledge, I have certainly instructed you in the truth, and yet you do not recognize it!
7. "How can it still be inconceivable to you that after my departure my teachings will be adulterated by you and disseminated in all directions as erroneous teachings and erroneous religious cults?
8. "Because of what you will do, the world will resound with misguidance and false teachings.
9. "Many among you will bear the blame that humanity will not recognize the truth, although I certainly have taught it to you.
10. "There will be great reverberations in the world regarding your false teachings, which you will spread.
11. "Clearly, you did not understand the words of knowledge, and hence the truth of my teachings.
12. "You are struck with blindness, like the legitimate people of this land who are held in darkness and oppression by the Israelites, just as the prophets predicted for these people, because they have forsaken the tenets
of truth, like the Israelites who plundered this land and since then dominated and oppressed its legitimate owners.
13. "1 have fulfilled my mission among this race. But, due to the fault of the Israelites and their false teachings, I was unable to teach any reason to this population, as their thinking is irrational because of confusing and mistaken teachings. I will leave, therefore, so that the teachings of truth can also be brought to two other populations in the North and East.
14. "Just as the legitimate owners of the land, who are governed by the violent rule of the Israelites, exist under the guidance of god, so also are the other two peoples under him. They are the people in the high north land where cold and ice reign on the highest mountains and at the end of the Earth, and also the people in the land of India, because he, god, is the master over these three human populations.
16. "Therefore, I must walk on my path as predestined by Arahat Athersata and requested by god, since I also serve god's will and his laws, as god himself serves the laws of Creation."
