Belial said, "Shall I put that to the test?"

"Self-replicating veterinary  nano,  Belial,  something  Bat-El heard chatter about. I'm to be a healer as well as a teacher."

Belial moved forward with the blade, to test if this nano healed missing flesh. Yeshua cried, "God shall give  his angels charge over you. They shall bear you  up in their hands, lest your foot strike against a stone!" He bent backwards over the wooden rail of the  upper level. A ball  of  water  a meter  in  diameter appeared, floating in midair. The water overflowed the sphere and the excess poured straight down to the floor. It was Binah's business to make sure  the ball intercepted  Yeshua as  he fell with arms and legs tucked in close.

Belial screamed wih rage because he knew what was coming and he could only watch it come. Yeshua cannonballed into the sphere of water, which then snapped out  of existence with a  splash that left the water ankle deep on the ground floor of the house.

Left alone Belial's first impulse was to burn Bat-El's house to the foundation once  again, as he did  after Binah's conception. But hy remembered the  week it would  take Chemah  to stockpile sufficient dark light  to  establish a  fold-door  so he  could depart, and he knew how cold it could get. The fire would wait.

To the eyes of searchers Yeshua was immersed in the river named Nahar ha-Yarden, or Jordan, for longer than any  man could hold his breath by  his own  will. But he did rise  again, to  the immense relief of his brothers Shimon and Yosy.

Yohanan and his disciples were also gladdened. They had scoured the river thinking he  had drowned. Yohanan peered closely to assure himself it really was Yeshua and not someone else who had dived into the water looking for him. He said, "God is gracious! I thought you had been swept away!" But Yohanan wondered why the man did not seem to be distressed and gasping for air.

Yeshua said to him, "Peace be with you, teacher. I am well."

No further explanation was given, which annoyed Yohanan. He let Yeshua return with his brothers to the crowd  of hangers-on who watched from the bank of the river. No one else came forward to be baptized. It entered  into  Yohanan's  thoughts  how  this Yeshua might have made pretense  of drowning to drive  away the supplicants. He set Yudah  of Kerioth to  watch Yeshua  and his brothers to see what more mischief they might  do, and perhaps, when the crowds thinned, bid them to depart.
