A few weeks after the death of Terah, father of Abraham P 1019 — §2
The Melchizedek covenant with Abraham represents the great Urantian agreement between divinity and humanity, according to which God agrees to do everything, man agreeing only to believe God’s promise and follow his instructions. UB 93:6.4

The Sanhedrin adjourned that Tuesday around midnight (of the year 30), and decided to meet the next morning, at ten o’clock, at the home of the high priest Caiaphas to formulate the accusations which would allow Jesus to be indicted.
Passover, Thursday evening, in the year 30: Judas occupied the seat of honor to the left of the host. John Zebedee claimed to occupy the second seat of honor. On these couches around the U-shaped table, they were seated in the following order: to the right of the Master, John; to the left of the Master, Judas, Simon Zelotes, Matthew, James Zebedee, Andrew, the twins Alphaeus, Philip, Nathanael, Thomas and Simon Peter. (UB 179:1.5).
Jesus said to them, “It is truly profitable for you that I go away. If I do not go away, the new teacher cannot come into your hearts. I must be stripped of this mortal body and restored to my place in heaven before I can send this spiritual teacher to live in your soul and lead your spirit into truth. When my spirit comes to dwell in you, it will shed light on the difference between sin and righteousness, and enable you to judge wisely in your hearts concerning them.” UB 180:6.2
After the arrest of the Master, five apostles, Nathanael, Matthew, Philip and the twins, went to hide in Bethany and Bethphage. Thomas, Andrew, James and Simon Zelotes hid in Jerusalem. Simon Peter and John Zebedee followed the cohort to Annas’ house. P 1976.1.
Among those who stood near the cross at one time or another during the crucifixion were Mary, Ruth, Jude, John, Salome (John’s mother), and a group of sincere and convinced believers including Mary (wife of Clopas and sister of Jesus’ mother), Mary Magdalene, and Rebecca, who had formerly lived in Sepphoris. UB 187:3.2. Note: Mary, the mother of Jesus, had a sister who was also named Mary.
These are the names of the women who lingered near the tomb that Friday evening: Mary Magdalene, Mary the wife of Clopas, Martha (another sister of the mother of Jesus) and Rebecca of Sepphoris. UB 188:1.7
(In Mark’s house)… Shortly after nine o’clock that evening, after Cleopas and Jacob had departed, and while the twins Alpheus were comforting Peter, Nathanael was remonstrating Andrew, and the ten apostles were there assembled in the upper room, having locked all the doors for fear of arrest, the Master suddenly appeared in their midst in his morontia form, saying: “Peace be upon you. Have faith in God, have faith in one another, and so you will enter into the new service of the kingdom of heaven.” This was the ninth morontia appearance of the Master. UB 191:2.1-2
The seven stages of consciousness through faith realization of the attainment of the total divinity of Jesus are:
The arrival of the Thought Adjuster.
The coming of the messenger of Emmanuel who appeared to Jesus in Jerusalem when he was about twelve years old.
The manifestations which accompanied his baptism.
The experiences on the Mount of Transfiguration.
The morontia resurrection.
The ascension in spirit. The final embrace of the Paradise Father granting him unlimited sovereignty over his universe. UB 196:1.6-13
At Joseph of Arimathea’s house were fifteen to twenty of the principal believing women. These women alone dwelt in Joseph’s house and remained cloistered there during the hours of the Sabbath and the evening of the Sabbath, so that they were unaware that a military guard was watching over the tomb. Nor did they know that a second stone had been rolled away from the entrance to the tomb and that Pilate’s seal had been affixed to both stones. UB 189:4.2
The primary concern of believers should not be the selfish desire for personal salvation, but rather the selfless need to love their fellow men, and therefore to serve them, just as Jesus loved and served mortals. UB 188:4.9
After the Master’s death, David Zebedee sent his last messenger with the news of the Master’s death. He dispatched the last of his runners to the house of Martha and Mary in Bethany, where he supposed the mother of Jesus was staying with the rest of her family. UB 187:6.1
The last request that Jesus, as a mortal, addressed to his fellow men was formulated at about half-past one when he said a second time, “I thirst.” The captain of the guard again moistened the Master’s lips with the same sponge dipped in sour wine, which was then commonly called vinegar. UB 187:5.3
