Ch. 24. John’s Disciples visit

John in person sending his disciples to Jesus, affects strangership

After the resuscitation, interval during which John at prison at I I heard of that and the […?] Miracle

Time Per Matt. X. XI. 1 this is not till after Jesus had sent out his 12 Apostles. Luke who with Matthew are the two[?] reporters of this affected strangership is the sole reporter by whom they are stated as cousins /sisters children/ and their Mothers most intimately connected.

Ch. 24.

Some time after the resuscitation at Nain, John, then in prison sends disciples to learn whether Jesus is the Messiah. He performs before them divers cures and dispossessions unspecified.

No prophet greater than John: no prophet but the least in the kingdom of heaven greater than he. Publicans present believe. Pharisees and lawyers not.

Luke VII. 18 to 35. Matt. XI. 1 to 19. Mark silent. John silent.

{21 Oct. 1815} But prefix to this the story of John’s talk with the Jews. John III. 23 to 36 (the end) and add John IV. 1 to 4: and John IV. 37. 38. where Jesus tells his disciples they reap the fruit of John’s labours. On second thoughts this is made into a separate Chapter.
