The Jews who supported their Rabbi had no complaint to offer on the score of food, because they received it in variety and plenty through the munificence of their co-religionists in Berlin. In the evening we attempted a sing-song to keep up the spirit and atmosphere of the season as far as practicable within our modest limitations, but this was promptly suppressed by our task-masters.
Grace was said and then after a second hand cleansing, wine was poured and thanks said over the cups, after which came the meat, and as they ate they talked. "About the Galilean Prophet were we speaking," Lazarus said. "The young Rabbi is much in the mouths of both Temple scribes and pilgrims in the street. Some have praise for his words of wisdom.
November 5th. The entry in his diary contains the following lines: "Extremely cold morning; nevertheless dear Judith and I left Park Lane before eight o'clock to walk to Synagogue. It was very well attended, and prayers were offered up for the late lamented Chief Rabbi. Afterwards we rode home to Park Lane.
Thus, in the New Testament, we find the Jewish teachers often addressed by the title Rabbi, Master. But the title Rab was also used in speaking of the highest officials in an Eastern court. Three such titles we find in the Bible: Jer. xxxix. 13. RAB-SARIS, Master of the Eunuchs. Jer. xxxix. 13. RAB-MAG, Master of the Magi. 2 Kings xviii. 17. RAB-SHAKEH, Master of the Cup-bearers.
The demons dared not molest him, but he longed to return to his home. "How am I to get back to the palace?" he asked the rabbi. "Perhaps after I have imparted my learning to the crown prince, the king will allow me to return to my native land." "That I cannot say. Come, fly with me," said the rabbi. "Fly!" "Yes; see thou hast wings."
Ordinarily, the priest's unjust accusations would have called forth a vigorous protest from the Rabbi, but now he suddenly found himself bereft of reasoning power; he could but look upon his adversary in awe and wonder. The priest turned, and by the movement exposed his mutilated ear. The lobe had been torn completely off. Where could he have seen that ear before?
He chanced to meet at Cairo two Spanish jews, Rabbi Abraham, a native of Viseo, and Joseph, born in Lamego; who, after the departure of Covillian and Payva from Portugal, had told the king that they had been in Cairo, where they had received much information concerning Ormus, and of its trade with the Indies.
"Now let us hasten to report to the high priest the result of our errand." The servant then returned and closed the door behind him. The three messengers then returned. Rabinth remarked anxiously, "Pilate will surely agree to the demand of the council." "He must," said the rabbi, "how could he resist it when the Sanhedrin and the whole people demand with one voice the death of this man?"
Nor had I a friend on earth till my feet were led to the Mains, where my heart was greatly refreshed, and now God has surrounded me with young men of whose kindness I am not worthy, wherefore it becometh me to show mercy unto others," and the Rabbi looked at Carmichael with such sweetness, that the lad's sullenness began to yield, although he made no sign.
All shouted, "Men will speak of us centuries hence!" and Caiaphas resumed, "Lead him away; we follow." Once more they cried, "Down with the Galilean!" and departed. The three messengers sent by the Sanhedrin drew near to the house of Pilate, and as they went they spoke among themselves. The rabbi said: "At last we breathe more freely again; we have been insulted long enough."
