“Jesus could make the most innocent of remarks as he began a speech, and if the Pharisees were about, they would surely interrupt with an argument or question.

Jesus: In the moment, there is no future and no past. Pharisee: Why does God allow evil? Jesus: If you knew the answer, would it change you...? Would you then allow evil? Pharisee: Are we free, or are we the slaves of fate? Jesus: I do not know. Perhaps the freedom is in the asking of the question. Pharisee: What is the soul? Jesus: What is the body? Could the soul be anything more than the wholeness of the body? Pharisee: I had a dream in which I saw an eagle fly in a circle overhead.MoreLessRead More Read Less
