예수의 평신도 일반인 생활.A Layman's Life of Jesus, by Samuel H. M. Byers
CONTENTS

PAGE
CHAPTER I 7
Palestine two thousand years ago. The Little Land of Galilee. An
Oriental Village. The Boy Carpenter.
CHAPTER II 12
A Boy of Babylon. The Founder of Judaism. Philo, the Philosopher.
An out-door Man. The Poet-Carpenter. Staying in the Desert.
The Silence of History. Where was Jesus in these silent years?
CHAPTER III 23
Christ still a Jew. Is the Child's escape at Bethlehem still a secret?
Performing wonders. A strange age. Rome still in the thrall of
Heathendom. Augustus dead. Tiberius the Awful. Palestine
itself half Heathen. A Religious Enthusiast. Jesus is ceasing to
be a Jew. A church tyranny. Subjects of Cæsar. Human
suffering counted for nothing with the Romans. The Jews are
longing for the New Time when God might come and rule the
world in Pity. An age of Superstitions and Magic. Laws of
Science unknown. Nobody even knew that the world was round.
CHAPTER IV 41
The Fairy Prince. His Home is everywhere. John the Baptist is
preaching down by Jericho. The young Jesus hears of him and
goes a hundred miles on foot to see him. A stranger steps down
to the River to be baptized. Look quick, it is the Lamb of God!
John is put to death in a palace by the Dead Sea. A Woman's
Revenge.
CHAPTER V 55
An Oriental Wedding, and the first miracle. Jairus. "Little Maid,
Arise." The Light of the World. The Poet of the Lord. Do we
know what a Miracle is?
CHAPTER VI 67
A wandering Teacher. Lives in a borrowed house at Capernaum.
The Testament Books, fragments written from memory. The
whole Law of Life boiled down to Seven Words. He visits Tyre
by the Ocean. Walking on the Sea. A hard saying, and not
understood. His friends begin to leave Him. They demand
Wonders, Miracles. Raffael's great picture.
CHAPTER VII 82
Jesus goes alone and on foot to Jerusalem, to try and prove
Himself. In six months they will kill Him. The rich Capital no
place for Socialism. "If thou be Christ, tell us, plainly." He is a
fugitive from a city mob. The Raising of Lazarus. Again the
people are following Him. The great Sanhedrin is alarmed. "This
Man has everybody believing on Him. He will create a
Revolution yet." Jerusalem is in political danger, anyway; so is
the Roman Empire. Everything seems going to pieces. "This
Man has too many Followers; we must kill Him." Judas is hired
to betray Him.
CHAPTER VIII 94
The last supper. Leonardo's great picture. Betrayal. With a rope
around his neck the Savior of mankind is dragged before a
Roman Judge. The scene at Pilate's palace. Pilate's wife warns
him. The awful murder and the End.
