Excerpt
"we had arranged the room to accommodate the followers who had come with us to Jerusalem. there were many who had stayed behind at Joshua's insistence. Even Joshua's mother was not with us; preparing instead for Passover with relatives at home. Of course, Joshua would be at the center of the table. When Joseph arrived to make certain all the preparations were done, he told me that several Essene Brotherhood had arrived in the city for the Passover festival. As they rarely left the community we knew something of importance was about to occur. It was then that our later meeting with them was arranged." page 138 The Followers of the Magdalene Book One of the Magdalene Chronicles.
