The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ
The Governor became violently enraged and sent his servants in disguise to spy after Issa and to report to the authorities every word that he addressed to the people.
The holy Issa continued, however, to visit the neighbouring towns and preach the true ways of the Creator, exhorting the Hebrews to patience and promising them a speedy deliverance.
6
During all this time many people followed him wherever he went; many did not quit him, but they served him as servants.
7 And Issa said: "Do not believe in miracles performed by the hand of man, for He who commands nature is alone able to perform supernatural things, while man is powerless to soften the rage of winds and to distribute rain."
8
"There is one miracle, however, that it is possible for man to perform; it is, when full of sincere belief, he decides to uproot from his heart all bad thoughts, and to attain this end, he goes no more into the paths of evil.”
“And all the things which are done without God are but great errors, seductions and enchantments, which show only how far the soul of him who practises this art is full of shamelessness, falsehood and impurity."
10
“Put no faith in oracles, for God alone knows the future; he who has recourse to sorcerers, defiles the temple which is in his heart and shows distrust for his Creator."
