 65 Text|        bottles, since the bottle is burst, and the wine spilled, and
 66 Text|            unbelieving, said to the bystanders to pray Philip that he should

 90 Text|            Philip, enraged, said: A curse upon thee! then go down
 91 Text|       blinded. And they reviled and cursed the high priest, saying:
 92 Text|             that, said they, we may cut off this unbelieving high

102 Text|           spoken by him bring us to distraction. What, then, shall we do
103 Text|              and, in a word, he has disturbed us exceedingly, both by
104 Text|          and say to Philip: We have doctrines of our fathers in which

111 Text|             hour his whole hand was dried up, and his eyes were blinded;
112 Text|             anguish; and the demons dwelling among them cried out: Behold,
113 Text|         there happened a very great earthquake, so that the place on which
114 Text|      salvation of your souls may be effected, because he would almost
115     | else
116     | end
117 Text|             those days, when Philip entered into the city of Athens
118 Text|            to live, the law will be entirely destroyed, and their teaching

121 Text|            with the Holy Spirit for evermore.~And Philip, having said

123 Text|           in by him; and he gave an evil testimony, for he ate all
124 Text|        appeared coming down in most excellent glory, and in lightning;
125 Text|           Philip, having said this, extended his right band, stretching
126 Text|            you; but rather in great exultation and in great joy I have
127 Text|         Christ with great boldness, exulting and saying: I, O men of
128 Text|           they were dead, that have fairly completed the number of
129 Text|       number of their days. And the fame of him has gone abroad into
130 Text|         enraged, said: O earth, lay fast hold of him, even to the
131 Text|          their teaching will likely fill the whole earth. And the
132 Text|             works, but hast come to finish them through us. Now therefore
133 Text|          the ground. And the people fled in anguish; and the demons
134 Text|          cried out: Behold, we also flee because of Him who has appeared
135 Text|         that the high priest's robe flew off from him; and because
136 Text|           as we also have, have not followed it, since they began to
137 Text|      imagine that thou wilt make us followers of Jesus the Nazarene? Then
138 Text|             Lord Jesus; reprove the folly of these men.~The high priest
139     | found
140 Text|        Athens two years; and having founded a church, appointed a bishop
141 Text|          into ice, and the other is frightfully hot; but by thy magic, Philip,
142 Text|           and driven away the demon front the young man, and raised
143 Text|             has been heard of by us froth thee we have never found
144 Text|           his teaching might not be fulfilled. For many changes were brought
145 Text|            come to you, to make you fully assured, not in word only,
146 Text|          more than the sun, and His garments were whiter than snow, so
147 Text|        philosophers, went up to the gateway of the house where Philip

149 Text|         spoken of to generations of generations-that also thou shall go down
150 Text|             after the manner of the Gentiles. And having given him up,
151 Text|        priest, that Thy name may be glorified in Christ the Beloved.~And
152 Text|       miracles, and he introduces a glorious name, Jesus, professing
153 Text|             given us Thy light, the Gospel. And Philip rejoiced exceedingly
154 Text|            no hatred in us, but the grace of Christ will make you
155 Text|          Son Jesus Christ, who hast granted to me to believe in Him,
156 Text|             for the sound of it was greater than that of thunder. Then
157 Text|         Athens fell suddenly to the ground. And the people fled in
158 Text|            Philip says: There is no hatred in us, but the grace of
159 Text|            various diseases, and he heals them all through the name
160 Text|            says to the high priest: Hearest thou the demons crying out
161 Text|       crying oat this, suddenly the heavens were opened, and Jesus appeared
162 Text|             Philip threatened it in Hebrew, and adjured it; and it
163 Text|            to the knees, and by the heels some hooks as it were drag
164 Text|            to assail those to whose help I have not been able to
165 Text|             raise him up, wilt thou henceforth believe? And he says: I
166 Text|            us, who also taught this heresy, and destroyed the law and
167 Text|             said: O earth, lay fast hold of him, even to the navel.
168 Text|              and adjured it; and it holds me even to the knees, and
169 Text|        knees, and by the heels some hooks as it were drag me downwards,
170 Text|            the other is frightfully hot; but by thy magic, Philip,
171     | how
172 Text|           underneath is turned into ice, and the other is frightfully
173 Text|          snow, so that also all the idols of Athens fell suddenly
174 Text|              bringing those who are ill with various diseases, and
175 Text|            and Moses; and dost thou imagine that thou wilt make us followers
176 Text|              as my Lord said, It is impossible to put new wine into old
177     | indeed
178 Text|          the abyss, unless the Lord intends to raise those who are in
179 Text|      extraordinary miracles, and he introduces a glorious name, Jesus,
180 Text|       Thunder. Was not the whole of Judaea sufficient for you, but
181 Text|          all times great ...as thou knowest that we Athenians are searchers
182 Text|          are pleased, seeking after knowledge; but if thou hast anything
183 Text|           thee. But the high priest laughed at Philip, and remained
184 Text|          among the philosophers, to lead them astray? And the Mansemat-that
185 Text|             from the dead, and have led astray a great multitude
186 Text|             us look into our books, lest somehow this stranger overcome

189     | likely
190 Text|            was a mantle only, and a linen cloth. Thus, then, Philip
191 Text|            this name; for we lay no little stress upon this-to apostatize
192 Text|              and those with him, to live, the law will be entirely
193 Text|           he may present thee to me living. And he ordered his slaves
194 Text|           out demons that have been long in men, and makes the deaf
195 Text|            each other: Come, let us look into our books, lest somehow
196 Text|   straightway has been brought down low into itself; O bitter sea!
197 Text|            out, bat which by itself lulls its waves to rest. Now therefore,
198 Text|          abroad into all Hellas and Macedonia; and there are many coming
199 Text|              O Philip, sorcerer and magician, for I know thee, that in
200     | makes
201 Text|          pray to my God to come and manifest Himself before thee and
202 Text|           lead them astray? And the Mansemat-that is, Satan-entered into Ananias
203 Text|         gave to His disciples was a mantle only, and a linen cloth.
204 Text|         thee, that in Jerusalem thy master the deceiver called thee
205 Text|           there is no deceit in the matter.~And the three hundred philosophers
206     | meantime
207 Text|         once of thunder, but now of meekness, whatever thou mayst ask
208 Text|           also we should have first mentioned-he has raised up men after
209 Text|           from thy heart, that thou mightst know my words, and from
210 Text|        perhaps thou will change thy mind, and believe. But if even
211 Text|           all things in common, and mixed with blood, after the manner
212 Text|          through Moses, and the new moons, because he says, These

214 Text|         when Philip saw him, he was moved; and he turned to the high

217 Text|          come to pass, said: O weak nature! which has thrown itself
218 Text|           us followers of Jesus the Nazarene? Then Philip says to him:
219 Text|           his son. And when he came near his house, he cried out,
220 Text|            envy boldly: for we have need of nothing else, but only
221     | never
222     | nor
223     | nothing

228 Text|             him, says to the earth: Open thy mouth, and swallow him
229 Text|           thee to me living. And he ordered his slaves to carry the
230 Text|      desirous of something new, you ought to throw away from you the
231 Text|          told Philip that they were outside. And he rose up and went
232     | over
233 Text|           holy light, Thou hast not overlooked us who are all together
234 Text|         Philip, and thus thou shall overturn his teaching.~And having

236 Text|             things the Lord said in parables, teaching us in His holy
237 Text|           forth of miracles; and in part you have quickly seen the
238 Text|      presbyter, and so went away to Parthia, preaching Christ. To whom

243 Text|             fathers in which we are pleased, seeking after knowledge;
244 Text|             came to Hellas in great pomp, with the five hundred men.
245 Text|           were opened, and they all praised God with one mouth, saying:
246 Text|            was, and commanded us to preach all salvation through Him,
247 Text|         accurately the name that is preached.~They wrote therefore to

249 Text|            appointed a bishop and a presbyter, and so went away to Parthia,
250 Text|           as far as his neck in the presence of those who have believed
251 Text|        bottles, so that both may be preserved. And these things the Lord
252 Text|             having stolen him, have proclaimed everywhere that he has risen
253 Text|             in this world than this proclamation. For when my Lord came into

255 Text|            is the only God, who has punished the unbelief of the high
256 Text|              Confess thou also in a pure heart that Jesus is Lord,
257 Text|           and brought to nought the purification through Moses, and the new
258 Text|           filled him with anger and rage; and he said: If I allow
259     | rather
260 Text|             priest.~And when he had read, he was filled with great
261 Text|      something new. For instruction really new and fresh my Lord has

272 Text|          and in great joy I have to reveal to you that name, for I
273 Text|        themselves blinded. And they reviled and cursed the high priest,
274 Text|   proclaimed everywhere that he has risen from the dead, and have

280 Text|           And the Mansemat-that is, Satan-entered into Ananias unawares, and
