away even as the Temple of Jerusalem shall pass away.  My words shall sunder it Beam by beam, pillar by pillar, and every stone of it shall be scattered.  For I say unto you that God is weary of the fat of rams and goats, and incense delights his nostrils; it is not our flocks and herds that our Father desires nor the sweet-smelling herbs of this world, but a temple in which there shall be nothing but the love of God.  It is for the building of this temple that I have been called hither; and not with hands during laborious years will it be built, but at once, for the temple that I speak to you of, is in the heart of every man; and woe, woe, woe, I say unto you who delay to build this temple, for the fulfilment of the prophecies is at hand, and when the last day of this world begins to dawn and the dead rise up seeking their cere-clothes it will be too late.  Woe! woe! woe! unto thee, Chorazin, Bethsaida and Magdala, for you have not repented yet, but still choose the ghosts that haunt the sepulchres out of which ye shall be called soon; too soon for many; for I say unto you that it is not the dead that sleep but the living.  At these words there were murmurings among the disciples, and they said, turning from one to the other:  he says we sleep, brother, but this is not true.  He mocks at us.  But Jesus, as if he did not hear these rebukers, and moved as if by a sudden sympathy for Joseph, said:  here is one that left me to attend his father’s sick-bed, but I would have you understand me in this, that if we would love God we must abandon father, mother, wife and children, for there is not room in our hearts for two loves.  Ye say that I lay heavy burdens on your backs, but I say unto you that I lay no burdens on your backs that I did not first weigh upon my own shoulders; for have I not denied myself brothers and sisters, and did I not say to my mother, who came to dissuade me:  God chose thee as a vehicle to give to man a redeemer to lead him out of this kingdom of clay.  Thou hast done it and so there is no further need of thee.  Out of this corruptible body I shall rise in Jerusalem, my mission accomplished, into the incorruptible spirit.  His passion rising again and into flood, he seemed like one bereft of reason, for he said that all men must drink of his blood if they would live for ever.  He who licked up one drop would have everlasting life.  Joseph recalled the murmurings that followed these words, but Jesus would not desist.  These murmurings seemed to sting him to declare his doctrine to the full, and he added that his flesh, too, was like bread, and that any crumb would give to him who ate it a place before the throne of the Almighty.  Whereupon many withdrew, murmuring more loudly than before, saying among themselves:  who is this man that asks us to assuage our thirst with his blood and our hunger with his flesh?  Moses and Elijah did not ask such things.  Who is he that says he will scatter the Temple to build up another?
