Introduction
p3: sword See Cross-reference page: Apostles and Swords.
Section 1: Sabbath at Bethany
Section 2: Sunday Morning with the Apostles
p1: sword See Cross-reference page: Apostles and Swords.
Section 3: The Start for Jerusalem
p1: metric conversion, “Bethany was about 3.2 km from the temple . . .”
p4: See cross-reference study: Prophetic Prophec- Prophes-.
p10: not one stone See The Strange Story of the False Wailing Wall by Ernest L. Martin, PH. D., July 2000. It seems that Jesus prophecy did come true, which, of course, should come as no surprise. See also Popular Archaeology 2013 article “Wailing at the Wrong Wall?”
not one stone is used twice. See also 128:5.3.
Section 4: Visiting About the Temple
Section 5: The Apostles’ Attitude
p1,11: See Topical Study: Genetic Introductions, Mutations, and Evolution: a Urantia Book perspective, and subtopic: “Were the Alpheus twins subnormal?“.
p2: Andrew was busy watching some of his associates whom he feared might be led away by their emotions…: The pronoun here is the subject of the verb phrase “might be led away;” not the object of “feared.” To clarify, Andrew feared they might be led away by their emotions; he was not watching his associates, whom he feared. — He did not fear them, but he was afraid they might be led astray.
He was concerned about the attitude of some of the twelve whom he knew were armed with swords…: Should be changed to: He was concerned about the attitude of some of the twelve who he knew were armed with swords… — The pronoun is the subject of the verb “were armed,” not the object of “knew” nor of “were armed;” therefore “who” is the correct form. To illustrate: …some of the twelve whom he knew Peter had armed…[he knew Peter had armed them] …some of the twelve who he knew were armed… [he knew they were armed] The sentence might have been written “He was concerned about the attitude of the twelve, some of whom he knew were armed with swords.” In which case, “whom” would be the object of the prepositional phrase “some of whom,” while the phrase itself would be the subject of “were armed,” but it was not.

p12: disgusted is used twice: Job’s attitude towards is misguided friends (177:4.7) and Judas attitude towards Mary’s anointing of Jesus’ feet, which got rebuked (172:5.12).
disgust is used in three paragraphs in three distinct yet progressively related context:
1) 62:3.6 prehuman (disgust towards “repulsive situations”),
2) 72:5.12 civilized man (neighboring planet’s attitude toward idleness and unearned wealth), and
3) 177:4.7 sinful man (Caiaphas toward Judas).
