2000 Year Old Advertisement

This was in the "Local Ads" section of an ancient news-papyrus discovered in a cave near the Dead Sea Scrolls:

Do you need a miracle?

"Hi. I'm Jesus* and I'm in the Messiah business. I recently held an important conference with around 5000 of my franchisees. I had just given my "Happy are..." sermon, which went down a treat, and was breaking for lunch as per the agenda when it came to light that Mark (Facilities Officer) had mistakenly under-booked the loaves and fishes by a factor of a thousand.

I was about to panic when Peter (CFO) suggested I try the Golden Scrolls. I followed the simple index to find caterers in the local area and before you could say "Lamb Of God" there were fish sandwiches for all.

Thanks Golden Scrolls!"

The Golden Scrolls - miracles are possible!
