People of the New Testament – Book IV

The Early Friends and Minor Disciples of Jesus, and Those Who Opposed Him

Anne Catherine Emmerich

Book IV covers the early friends and minor disciples of Jesus (many unknown to history), among them: Ananias, Jonadab, Parmenas, Joel, Jonah, Jonathan, Manasseh, Simon of Cyrene, Simon Zabulon, and Zadoch. There follow summaries of the temporal sequence of the calling of the disciples, and of their geographical and familial origins.

The third part covers Jesus’s historically unknown journey to Cyprus.

The fourth details the likewise unknown journey of Jesus to the East some months before his crucifixion to visit the two of the Three Kings still living.

The final part offers a summary of the opponents of Jesus, including much on the little-known sect of the Herodians.
