In Nazareth with four apostles.

Chapter 336 describes Jesus traveling with four apostles—Peter, Thomas, Simon Zealot, and another disciple—on the road to Nazareth. The narrative highlights moments of silence, companionship, and Jesus' leadership as He separates from some disciples to journey with others. It also touches on the love of Thomas for the Virgin Mary and Jesus' exhortation to peace and reflection, emphasizing His severity as an expression of love rather than hatred. The chapter situates these events within the geographical and spiritual context of Jesus' ministry and His relationships with His followers.
