In the plain of Esdraelon. The love of John and the very few like him. Visit to the shepherd Jonah

In this chapter, Jesus addresses His disciples and followers in the plain of Esdraelon, emphasizing their deep love and commitment to Him, surpassing even the affection one might have for a bride. John implores others not to speak of betrayal, while Simon and the shepherds express their unwavering dedication and recognition of Jesus as both Man and Master. Jesus acknowledges the inevitability of betrayal but urges mercy and redemption rather than vengeance. The chapter concludes with Jesus blessing Isaac and instructing him to remain as He departs.
