At Jeppa. A useless sermon to Judas of Kerioth and dialogue on the soul with some Gentiles.

Chapter 406 describes a scene at Joppa where Jesus, visibly tired, sits in a modest courtyard reflecting after a day of miracles and preaching. He delivers a sermon to Judas of Kerioth, which proves ineffective, and engages in a dialogue about the soul with some Gentiles. The chapter explores themes of spiritual fatigue, misunderstanding, and the nature of the soul in the context of Jesus' ministry among both Jews and Gentiles. It highlights the challenges Jesus faced in conveying his message to different audiences.
