*Let's stop here and look over some of the important aspects of this hadith from Abu Jafar (as).  On the night God lifted him into the heavens, the disciples had all gathered and there were twelve of them.  Jesus (as) appeared from a fountain and informed his disciples that God would be lifting him up and saving him from the chastisement of the jews, and asked his disciples who would allow God to cast Jesus' ghost upon him, so that he be killed, crucified and rise to the same rank as his, and one of them replied, I do O'Spirit of Allah!, and Jesus told him, you it shall be then.
