Chapter 25 - | Follow Me

"Follow me."


"Where?" asked Matt confusedly.


"What?" asked Simon shockingly as he looked at Yeshua with wide eyes. "Simon!" called Andrew.


"Anywhere He goes." I answered with a smile while looking at Matt. Matt looked at me unbelievably. "Did you?" asked Matt. "We all do." answered John to Matt, making him look at him. 


Then Matt looked at me and looked at Simon then looked back at me. "Yes, Matt. Even Simon." I said to Matt without the need for him to say a word about his question. "What about me?" asked Simon as he leaned back on his chair then crossed his arms. "What did Abigail say when you told her?" asked Jaime to Simon. "She's ecstatic, Jaime. Thank you for asking." answered Simon as he uncrossed his arms with a smile. 


Matt then looked at Yeshua, stood up and nodded at Him. "I will." said Matt with a smile. "Good." said Yeshua with a smile at Matt as well then looked at the pancake in front of Matt. I looked at John and thankfully he noticed me. I looked at the pancake in front of Matt then motioned to give it to Yeshua. "What?" said Simon as he then stood up, walked towards Yeshua, leaned closer to Him, and whispered something.


John then took the plate of pancake in front of Matt then nudged Jaime to place the plate in front of Yeshua. "Thank you, Jaime." said Yeshua as He smiled at Jaime. Matt then went away from where he's standing and took a chair from the nearest table, walked back to our table and waited for Simon to finish what he's whispering to Yeshua. "Simon, I do not appreciate what you had just said and I don't want to hear it from you ever again."


"Now, please take a seat, all of you." said Yeshua. And so Simon went back to his seat and Matt offered the chair that he took for Yeshua. "Thank you, Matthew." Yeshua said to Matt with a smile then waited for Matt to sit before He sat.


"Now, let us pray." Yeshua said to us. "In the name of the Father," as if the Father is giving us forehead kisses. "And of the Son," as if the Son is tickling us to bring joy. "And of the Holy Spirit, Amen."the Holy Spirit sharing wisdom and guiding us. Amen. Said Simon as we all did the Sign of the Cross, except for Yeshua.


"Bless us, O Lord, and these Your gifts, which we are about to receive from Your bounty through Christ, our Lord, Amen."


"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen."


"Let us eat." said Yeshua and we began eating.


I noticed that Matt had no food to eat so I divided my pancake and placed my plate between me and Matt. "Matt, let's share." I said to Matt with a smile. "It's okay, Rie, I'm not hungry." said Matt as he pushed back the plate in front of me. John then placed his drink in front of Matt, making him look at him. "If you don't want Rie's pancake then have my drink." said John to Matt after he swallowed the food in his mouth. "Thank you." said Matt as he held the drink and drank it.


"Maria." called Yeshua to me, "Yes, Teacher?" I asked, looking at Him. "Call Maria by her name. So do all of you with each other." said Yeshua as He looked at each one of us. We all nodded as our response and continued eating.
