And they said,

“Why am I so favored,

that the bearer of my Lord

should come out to me?”

Zechariax was filled

with Holy Breath

and broke out in song:

“Bless the God of our ancestorx,

because they have come out

to redeem their people.”

And the Baptixer tried to stop Jesux,

and they said,

“I need to be baptized by you,

yet you come out to me?”

And they said,

“Come out,

follow me,

and I’ll show you

how to fish for people.”

And they said,

“Everyone whom God gives to me

will come out to me;

I won’t send away anyone

who comes out to me.”

And they said,

“Don’t even begin to think

that I have come out

to do away with

the Law and the Prophets.

I haven’t come out

to do away with them

but to fulfill them.”

And they said,

“Come out to me,

all you who are struggling

under heavy loads,

for I will give you rest.”

On the last and most important day of the festival,

Jesux stood up and shouted,

“All who are thirsty should

come out to me!”

And they said,

“the Human One didn’t come out

to be served but rather to serve

and to give their life

to liberate many people.”

Then Jesux called out to them and said,

“Allow children to come out to me.

Don’t stop them,

because God’s love belongs

to people like these children.”

And they said,

“Lord, if it’s you,

order me to come out

to you on the water.”

And they said,

“Do you think that I have come out

to bring peace to the earth?

No—

I tell you,

I have come out instead

to bring division.”

Having said this,

Jesux called out with a loud voice,

“Lazarux, come out!”

And they

came out.

When they came out

to the place called the Skull,

they crucified Jesux there

along with two otherx—

one to their right,

and one to their left.

And they said,

“Jesux,

remember me

when you come out

in Paradise.”

Jesux said to them,

“Come out,

have brunch.”

None of the disciples

could bring themselves to ask,

“Who are you?”

For they knew

it was the Lord.

There are many other things

that Jesux did—

yet—

if they were written down,

I think no closet could contain

all the books

that would still be

coming out.
