Not illustrated. 1884 Excerpt: ...of his claims; nor John, who loves him as a brother; James, the other son of Zebedee, Philip and Andrew, Didymus, Simon Zelotes, Matthew the publican, Nathanael, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus; not one of these has shown any sign of murmuring or discontent; not one has given any cause for such a word. It is I against whom his reproach was aimed; I whose secret thoughts he has discerned. Once, I remember, he said he knew what was in man. Can he indeed read secret thoughts, the inward musings of the heart? No, no, it is not that; he is but a close observer of character--no more.
