way

,

they

came

to

a

well

most

transparent

and

pure

.

And

as

the

blessed

Andrew

stood

to

pray

beside

the

well

,

behold

a

certain

maiden

named

Rebecca

,

of

the

tribe

of

Israel

,

brought

as

a

captive

to

that

country

,

came

to

draw

water

at

the

well

,

and

seeing

the

blessed

Andrew

,

knew

him

by

his

appearance

.

For

Rebecca

said

,

This

is

the

appearance

of

a

Prophet

,

and

this

is

one

of

the

apostles

.

And

bowing

down

to

him

she

said

,

Have

mercy

on

me

,

servant

of

the

true

God

,

who

am

captive

and

sold

for

the

third

time

,

who

was

once

honored

by

prophets

,

and

am

now

insulted

by

idolaters

,

and

recall

me

,

lowly

one

,

thou

that

wast

sent

to

call

back

many

sinners

.

Andrew

,

the

apostle

of

Christ

,

said

,

God

will

care

for

thee

also

,

daughter

,

as

well

as

for

this

stranger

.

Therefore

,

receive

ye

now

baptism

,

and

be

ye

as

of

one

people

,

glorifying

God

always

.
