A parable — Witness two or three

A man had a clear insight at midnight. He wrote it down and brought it to his friend at dawn. The friend nodded but asked questions. By noon he was less sure. He brought it to a second friend, who asked more questions. By evening he saw the insight clearly — but the insight he saw now was not the one he had at midnight. The midnight insight was true in part, and false in part. Two or three witnesses had let him keep the true and lay down the false. Ask yourself: What midnight clarity has not yet been tested by morning? BROTHERS — in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established (Mt 18:16). The lonely clarity is half-true at best. (A Narrow Highway original teaching parable — not a parable of Jesus; a made story that carries a true edge.)
