# 26. Jesus Starts His Ministry

26-01
After Jesus refused Satan’s temptations, he returned to the region of Galilee. This is where he lived. The Holy Spirit was giving him much power, and Jesus went from place to place and taught people. Everyone said good things about him.
26-02
Jesus went to the town of Nazareth. This is the village where he had lived when he was a child. On the Sabbath, he went to the place of worship. The leaders handed him a scroll with the messages of the prophet Isaiah. They wanted him to read from it. So Jesus opened up the scroll and read part of it to the people.
26-03
Jesus read, “God has given me his Spirit so that I can proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to set prisoners free, to make the blind people see again, and to free those whom others are oppressing. This is the time when the Lord will be merciful to us and help us.”
26-04
Then Jesus sat down. Everybody was watching him closely. They knew the passage of scripture that he had just read was about the Messiah. Jesus said, “The things I just read to you, they are happening right now.” All the people were amazed. “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” they said.
26-05
Then Jesus said, “It is true that people never accept a prophet in the town he grew up in. During the time of the prophet Elijah, there were many widows in Israel. But when it did not rain for three and a half years, God did not send Elijah to help a widow from Israel. Instead, he sent Elijah to a widow in a different nation.”
26-06
Jesus continued, saying, “And during the time of the prophet Elisha, there were many people in Israel with skin diseases. But Elisha did not heal any of them. He only healed the skin disease of Naaman, a commander of Israel’s enemies.” But the people who were listening to Jesus were Jews. So when they heard him say this, they were furious at him.
26-07
The people of Nazareth seized Jesus and dragged him out of the place of worship. They took him to the edge of a cliff to throw him off of it in order to kill him. But Jesus walked through the crowd and left the town of Nazareth.
26-08
Then Jesus went throughout the region of Galilee, and large crowds came to him. They brought many people who were sick or disabled. There were some who were blind, others who were crippled, deaf, or mute, and Jesus healed them.
26-09
Also, many people who had demons in them were brought to Jesus. Jesus commanded the demons to come out of them, so the demons came out. The demons often shouted, “You are the Son of God!” The crowds of people were amazed, and they praised God.
26-10
Then Jesus chose 12 men from among his disciples to be his special representatives. He called them “apostles.” These apostles traveled with Jesus and learned from him.
A Bible story from: Matthew 4:12-25; Mark 1-3; Luke 4
# 34. Jesus Teaches Other Stories

34-01
Jesus told many other stories about the kingdom of God. For example, he said, “The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed that someone planted in his field. You know that the mustard seed is the smallest seed of all.”
34-02
“But when the mustard seed grows, it becomes the largest of all of the garden plants, big enough that even the birds come and rest in its branches.”
34-03
Telling another story, Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is like yeast that a woman mixes into some bread dough until it spreads throughout the dough.”
34-04
“The kingdom of God is also like treasure that someone hid in a field. Another man found the treasure and wanted it very much. So he buried it again. He was so filled with joy that he went and sold everything he had so he could buy that field where the treasure was.”
34-05
“The kingdom of God is also like a perfect pearl of great value. When a pearl merchant found it, he sold all that he had so he could buy it.”
34-06
There were some people who thought God would accept them because they were doing good things. These people despised others who did not do those good things. So Jesus told them this story: “There were two men, both of whom went to the Temple to pray. One of them was a tax collector, and the other was a religious leader.”
34-07
“The religious leader prayed like this, ‘Thank you, God, that I am not a sinner like other men—such as robbers, unjust men, adulterers, or even like that tax collector over there.’”
34-08
“‘For example, I fast two times every week and I give you ten percent of all the money and goods that I receive.’”
34-09
“But the tax collector stood far away from the religious leader. He did not even look up to heaven. Instead, he pounded on his chest with his fist and prayed, ‘God, please be merciful to me because I am a sinner.’”
34-10
Then Jesus said, “I tell you, God heard the tax collector’s prayer, and declared him to be righteous rather than the religious leader. God will dishonor everyone who is proud, but he will honor whoever humbles himself.”
A Bible story from: Matthew 13:31-46; Mark 4:26-34; Luke 13:18-21; 18:9-14
# 24. John Baptizes Jesus

24-01
John, the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, grew up and became a prophet. He lived in the wilderness, ate wild honey and locusts, and wore clothes made from camel hair.
24-02
Many people came out to the wilderness to listen to John. He preached to them, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of God is near!”
24-03
When people heard John’s message, many of them repented from their sins, and John baptized them. Many religious leaders also came to see John, but they did not repent or confess their sins.
24-04
John said to the religious leaders, “You poisonous snakes! Repent and change your behavior. God will cut down every tree that does not bear good fruit, and he will throw them into the fire.” John fulfilled what the prophets had said, “See, I will soon send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way.”
24-05
Some religious leaders asked John if he was the Messiah. John replied, “I am not the Messiah, but he is coming after me. He is so great that I am not even worthy to untie his sandals.”
24-06
The next day, Jesus came for John to baptize him. When John saw him, he said, “Look! There is the Lamb of God who will take away the sin of the world.”
24-07
John said to Jesus, “I am not worthy to baptize you. You should baptize me instead.” But Jesus said, “You should baptize me, because it is the right thing to do.” So John baptized him even though Jesus had never sinned.
24-08
When Jesus came up out of the water after being baptized, the Spirit of God appeared in the form of a dove and came down and rested on him. At the same time, God spoke from heaven. He said, “This is my Son. I love him, and I am very pleased with him.”
24-09
God had told John, “The Holy Spirit will come down and stay on someone you baptize. That person is the Son of God.” There is only one God. But when John baptized Jesus, he heard God the Father speak, saw God the Son, who is Jesus, and he saw the Holy Spirit.
A Bible story from: Matthew 3; Mark 1; Luke 3; John 1:15-37
# 25. Satan Tempts Jesus

25-01
Immediately after Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit led him out into the wilderness. Jesus was there for 40 days and 40 nights. During that time he fasted, and Satan came to Jesus and tempted him to sin.
25-02
First, Satan said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God, turn these rocks into bread so you can eat!”
25-03
But Jesus said to Satan, “It is written in God’s word, ‘People do not only need bread in order to live, but they need everything that God tells them!’”
25-04
Then Satan took Jesus to the highest point on the Temple. He said to him, “If you are the Son of God, jump off to the ground, because it is written, ‘God will command his angels to carry you so your foot does not hit a stone.’”
25-05
But Jesus did not do what Satan asked him to do. Instead, he said, “God tells everyone, ‘Do not test the Lord your God.’”
25-06
Then Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world. He showed him how powerful they were, and how wealthy they were. He said to Jesus, “I will give you all this if you bow down and worship me.”
25-07
Jesus replied, “Get away from me, Satan! In God’s word he commands his people, ‘Worship only the Lord your God. Honor only him as God.’”
25-08
Jesus did not give in to Satan’s temptations, so Satan left him. Then angels came and took care of Jesus.
A Bible story from: Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13
# 44. Peter and John Heal a Beggar

44-01
One day Peter and John went to the Temple. A crippled man was sitting at the gate, begging for money.
44-02
Peter looked at the lame man and said, “I do not have any money to give you. But I will give you what I do have. In the name of Jesus, get up and walk!”
44-03
Immediately, God healed the lame man. He began to walk and jump around, and to praise God. The people in the courtyard of the Temple were amazed.
44-04
A crowd of people quickly came to see the man who was healed. Peter said to them, “This man is well, but do not be amazed at this. We did not heal him with our own power or because we honor God. Rather, it is Jesus who healed this man with his power, because we believe in Jesus.”
44-05
“You are the ones who told the Roman governor to kill Jesus. You killed the one who gives life to everybody. But God raised him from the dead. You did not understand what you were doing, but when you did those things, what the prophets said came true. They said that the Messiah would suffer and die. God made it happen in this way. So now, repent and turn to God, so that he will wash away your sins.”
44-06
When the leaders of the Temple heard Peter and John, they were very upset. So they arrested them and put them into prison. But many people believed what Peter said. The number of men who believed in Jesus grew to about 5,000.
44-07
The next day the Jewish leaders brought Peter and John to the high priest and the other religious leaders. They also brought the man who had been crippled. They asked Peter and John, “By what power did you heal this crippled man?”
44-08
Peter answered them, “This man standing before you has been healed by the power of Jesus the Messiah. You crucified Jesus, but God raised him to life again! You rejected him, but there is no other way to be saved except through the power of Jesus!”
44-09
The leaders were shocked that Peter and John spoke so boldly. They saw that these men were ordinary men who were uneducated. But then they remembered that these men had been with Jesus. So they said to them, “We will punish you very much if you give any more messages to the people about this man Jesus.” After saying many things like this, they let Peter and John go.

Chapter XX.—Concerning Maximus, who succeeded Macarius in the See of Jerusalem.
About this time Mark,
who had succeeded Silvester, and who had held the episcopal sway during a short period, died, and Julius was raised to the see of Rome. Maximus succeeded Macarius in the bishopric of Jerusalem.
It is said that Macarius had ordained him bishop over the church of Diospolis, but that the members of the church of Jerusalem insisted upon his remaining among them. For since he was a confessor, and otherwise excellent, he was secretly chosen beforehand in the approbation of the people for their bishopric, after that Macarius should die. The dread of offending the people and exciting an insurrection led to the election of another bishop over Diospolis, and Maximus remained in Jerusalem, and exercised the priestly functions conjointly with Macarius; and after the death of this latter, he governed that church. It is, however, well known to those who are accurately acquainted with these circumstances, that Macarius concurred with the people in their desire to retain Maximus; for it is said that he regretted the ordination of Maximus, and thought that he ought necessarily to have been reserved for his own succession on account of his holding right views concerning God and his confession, which had so endeared him to the people. He likewise feared that, at his death, the adherents of Eusebius and Patrophilus, who had embraced Arianism, would take that opportunity to place one of their own views in his see; for even while Macarius was living, they had attempted to introduce some innovations, but since they were to be separated from him, they on this account kept quiet.

Chapter XXIX.—Alexander, Bishop of Constantinople; his Refusal to receive Arius into Communion; Arius is burst asunder while seeking Natural Relief.
After the Synod of Jerusalem, Arius went to Egypt,
but as he could not obtain permission to hold communion with the Church of Alexandria, he returned to Constantinople. As all those who had embraced his sentiments, and those who were attached to Eusebius, bishop of Nicomedia, had assembled cunningly in that city for the purpose of holding a council, Alexander, who was then ordering the see of Constantinople, used every effort to dissolve the council. But as his endeavors were frustrated, he openly refused all covenant with Arius, affirming that it was neither just nor according to ecclesiastical canons, to make powerless their own vote, and that of those bishops who had been assembled at Nicæa, from nearly every region under the sun. When the partisans of Eusebius perceived that their arguments produced no effect on Alexander, they had recourse to contumely, and threatened that unless he would receive Arius into communion on a stated day, he should be expelled from the church, and that another should be elected in his place who would be willing to hold communion with Arius. They then separated, the partisans of Eusebius, to await the time they had fixed for carrying their menaces into execution, and Alexander to pray that the words of Eusebius might be prevented from being carried into deed. His chief source of fear arose from the fact that the emperor had been persuaded to give way. On the day before the appointed day he prostrated himself before the altar, and continued all the night in prayer to God, that his enemies might be prevented from carrying their schemes into execution against him. Late in the afternoon, Arius, being seized suddenly with pain in the stomach, was compelled to repair to the public place set apart for emergencies of this nature. As some time passed away without his coming out, some persons, who were waiting for him outside, entered, and found him dead and still sitting upon the seat. When his death became known, all people did not view the occurrence under the same aspect. Some believed that he died at that very hour, seized by a sudden disease of the heart, or suffering weakness from his joy over the fact that his matters were falling out according to his mind; others imagined that this mode of death was inflicted on him in judgment, on account of his impiety. Those who held his sentiments were of opinion that his death was brought about by magical arts. It will not be out of place to quote what Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, stated on the subject. The following is his narrative:—

Chapter XXVI.—Erection of a Temple by Constantine the Great at Golgotha, in Jerusalem; its Dedication.
The temple,
called the “Great Martyrium,” which was built in the place of the skull at Jerusalem, was completed about the thirtieth year
of the reign of Constantine; and Marianus, an official, who was a short-hand writer of the emperor, came to Tyre and delivered a letter from the emperor to the council, commanding them to repair quickly to Jerusalem, in order to consecrate the temple. Although this had been previously determined upon, yet the emperor deemed it necessary that the disputes which prevailed among the bishops who had been convened at Tyre should be first adjusted, and that they should be purged of all discord and grief before going to the consecration of the temple. For it is fitting to such a festival for the priests to be like-minded. When the bishops arrived at Jerusalem, the temple was therefore consecrated, as likewise numerous ornaments and gifts, which were sent by the emperor and are still preserved in the sacred edifice; their costliness and magnificence is such that they cannot be looked upon without exciting wonder. Since that period the anniversary of the consecration has been celebrated with great pomp by the church of Jerusalem;
the festival continues eight days, initiation by baptism is administered, and people from every region under the sun resort to Jerusalem during this festival, and visit the sacred places.

# Notable South Australians/Dr. Ulrich Hübbe

Layout 2
Dr. Ulrich Hübbe,
WHO has rendered great services to this colony in connection with the Real Property Act, is a native of Hamburg. He was but a youth when the French, under Napoleon, attacked the town and gave it over to pillage, but even yet he retains lively recollections of this episode. He has spent the greater part of his life in South Australia, and at the present time, having completely lost his sight, is almost wholly dependent for his incoming on his son. This is not as it should be, and Dr. Hübbe deserves better treatment at the hands of our colonists. Though the working of the Beal Property Act is now universally known, few of those most benefitted thereby have the slightest idea of the prominent part which Dr. Hübbe played in its construction. He it was who explained to Sir R. R. Torrens the form of certificates of title and encumbrances in force in the Hanseatic towns of his native land; and Sir Robert was so much pleased with the ​simple way in which the charges were detailed that, with Dr. Hübbe's assistance, he transferred the idea as far as was practicable into the Bill. From this source in particular was embodied the principle that mortgages should not change the freehold property, but that they should simply be charges on the property in priority one over the other. The result of the disclosure of these facts led to the re-drafting of the Bill by Mr. R. B. Andrews; but on its being submitted to Dr. Hübbe, he expressed his disapproval of it, chiefly on the grounds that it did not contain an efficient repeal of the old system, the absence of stringent provisions for bringing equitable estates and interests under the Act, and the necessity that existed for- providing more definitely that no estate or interest on such lands should pass at all by deed or any documentary evidence, but exclusively by registration of each special transaction in the public books of the colony. He thereupon drew the very comprehensive repeal clause printed in the Act, and he subsequently spent several days in remodelling the whole draft. He submitted his alterations to Sir R. R. Torrens, and the draft Bill thus revised was placed before Parliament; but no compensation was given him for his services. Dr. Hübbe has written much on a variety of subjects, and also taken an active part in many public matters. Though, like all men, prone to err, his intense independence and thorough love for his adopted country have made him an earnest advocate on the side of reform. Since his retirement from active life he has spent a great portion of his time in writing an epic poem descriptive of the progress of civilization in Germany in connection with free trade. This work has been sent to Germany, and been favourably criticised by those to whom it has been submitted, but owing to pecuniary difficulties it has never been published. A recent Government voted him a sum of money, but of so small an amount that it cannot be said he has been compensated for his services in connection with the R.P.A.

Dr. W. Gosse, M.D.,
A WELL-KNOWN and deservedly-esteemed member of the South Australian medical faculty. He arrived in the colony with his family in 1850, and in 1852 received the appointment of Colonial Surgeon, and also that of Superintending Surgeon to the Lunatic Asylum. In March, 1857, he was appointed Honorary Medical Officer to the Adelaide Hospital, and in 1874 became President of the Central Board of Health. He held the office of Public Vaccination Officer to the Government from 1880 to the time of his death. He was one of the Governors of the S. A. Institute, and Warden of the Senate of the Adelaide University. Dr. Gosse was an able physician, and his kind manner endeared him to all with whom he was associated in his professional duties. He died in Adelaide at an advanced age, in July, 1883.

E. D. Stocks.
THIS gentleman, though South Australia be not his adopted country, yet, from his late uncle's, Mr. Samuel Stocks, and several other relatives' residence here, as well as his endeavours to forward the intellectual and agricultural interests of the colony, besides his close art connection with the beauties of its natural scenery, is fairly entitled to rank among "Notable South Australians." He was born in Manchester, England, 27th March, 1840, and at an early age came to these colonies. He at first adopted a somewhat ​desultory, wandering mode of life; but seeing the likely unfruitful issue of this, devoted himself to the work of teaching. As a child he had felt the burnings of the artistic soul within, and at length this capacity stirred in a way not to be resisted. He threw himself entirely into the life of an artist, and at the present time has reached the position of one of the leaders of that profession in the colonies. As a demand is now setting in for his pictures in England, he is likely to take a similar position there. His forte lies among rolling brooks, placid, overshadowed waterholes, or snow-capped mountains, with their precipices or mantling of forest, the trembling beauties of foliage, the variations of atmospheric appearances, and the wonderful realizations of cloudland. In these, with all their multitudinous combinations and effects, he seems "to live, move, and have his being." Wonderful are the effects of his brush already, but the promise is of better things to come. His best known pictures are "Adelaide, from the Torrens Lake;" "The Valley Lakes, Mount Gambier;" "Port Pirie, from the River;" "Port Augusta, from the West;" and a variety of other fine views of scenery in New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania.

WAS professionally connected with the Noarlunga and Reynella Lodges of Oddfellows, and associated with Morphett Vale since September 1878. In early life he was in the Royal Navy, and followed the sea until his arrival in this colony. He identified himself with every movement having for its object the advancement of the district with which he was connected, and to his agency many local improvements owe their existence. Dr. Morier, who died on October 13, 1885, was universally esteemed. He was a Justice of the Peace, a District Councillor, and a member of the Willunga Board of Advice.
