Wakened from his listless dreaming, by John's prediction that "one mightier than I cometh," he started out among humble villagers, bringing them a message of love far simpler to understand than the hair-splitting taboos of their priests. His magnetism soon drew twelve men as disciples, and together they wandered from village to village, humbly enjoying the success of the master's teachings and healings.
