First of all, this is Scripture, as recorded in the Bible. He did not know Scripture, and he told them so. The one that is named is Nicodemus; and Nicodemus followed him. The others thought they knew it by conforming to the letter. He said, “I have come to interpret Scripture. Scripture must be fulfilled in me”; and they thought it was fulfilled on the outside by obeying so-called external commands, and it was not so at all. So, I cannot be silent when I see these flagrant contradictions of the greatest mystery in the world; and a highly publicized individual means nothing to me. I am not impressed by any publicized individual. I can take any press agent and send him out if I had enough money, like this little thing called Maharishi-something and I heard him on TV. They said to him, “Now you are publicizing yourself. Jesus didn’t do this.” Do you know what he said? He said, “Well, that’s why he took so long to get started.”576 ¶55
