Jesus told the others to go off and spend some time in prayer and preparation for the event, while he would pray by himself, and meet them back at the place where they now were.</p> <p>The two disciples found the man carrying the pitcher of water in the square just as Jesus had said, and they followed him as he entered a two storey building where they met the owner of
