XXXVIII. And as I, Onesimus, was

‹ Section 37 Section 39 ›

sailing

into

Spain

to

Paul

,

I

received

from

the

Lord

a

revelation

saying

to

me

,

Onesimus

,

the

vessel

in

which

thou

now

art

will

land

in

the

parts

of

Greece

,

and

thou

wilt

find

on

the

shore

of

the

harbour

two

maids

and

one

youth

.

Assist

them

and

take

them

to

Paul

.

When

we

reached

this

place

according

to

the

command

of

the

Lord

,

we

found

the

maids

together

with

the

youth

seeking

a

vessel

.

When

the

maids

saw

us

therefore

,

they

knew

that

we

were

of

the

hope

of

Christ

,

and

Polyxena

running

to

us

said

,

Verily

the

man

of

God

cannot

be

concealed

,

for

the

grace

and

kindliness

of

his

countenance

makes

him

manifest

.

And

when

we

sought

to

sail

away

,

the

sea

was

troubled

by

the

providence

of

God

.

And

there

was

with

us

a

disciple

of

Paul

,

by

name

Lucius

,

capable

in

word

to

teach

the

city

.

Therefore

we

remained

seven

days

,

and

God

opened

to

that

place

a

great

door

of

faith

,

and

twenty

thousand

believed

,

and

there

was

great

joy

and

rejoicing

in

all

the

city

.

And

when

the

season

was

favourable

for

us

to

sail

the

prefect

again

constrained

us

,

and

we

stayed

another

seven

days

,

until

all

believed

and

rejoiced

in

the

Lord

.
