1. It happened one day, when the Saviour, our

‹ Salutation / Introduction Section 2 ›

Master

,

God

,

and

Saviour

Jesus

Christ

,

was

sitting

along

with

His

disciples

,

and

they

were

all

assembled

on

the

Mount

of

Olives

,

that

He

said

to

them

:

O

my

brethren

and

friends

,

sons

of

the

Father

who

has

chosen

you

from

all

men

,

you

know

that

I

have

often

told

you

that

I

must

be

crucified

,

and

must

die

for

the

salvation

of

Adam

and

his

posterity

,

and

that

I

shall

rise

from

the

dead

.

Now

I

shall

commit

to

you

the

doctrine

of

the

holy

gospel

formerly

announced

to

you

,

that

you

may

declare

it

throughout

the

whole

world

.

And

I

shall

endow

you

with

power

from

on

high

,

and

fill

you

with

the

Holy

Spirit

.

And

you

shall

declare

to

all

nations

repentance

and

remission

of

sins

.

For

a

single

cup

of

water

,

if

a

man

shall

find

it

in

the

world

to

come

,

is

greater

and

better

than

all

the

wealth

of

this

whole

world

.

And

as

much

ground

as

one

foot

can

occupy

in

the

house

of

my

Father

,

is

greater

and

more

excellent

than

all

the

riches

of

the

earth

.

Yea

,

a

single

hour

in

the

joyful

dwelling

of

the

pious

is

more

blessed

and

more

precious

than

a

thousand

years

among

sinners

:

inasmuch

as

their

weeping

and

lamentation

shall

not

come

to

an

end

,

and

their

tears

shall

not

cease

,

nor

shall

they

find

for

themselves

consolation

and

repose

at

any

time

for

ever

.

And

now

,

O

my

honoured

members

,

go

declare

to

all

nations

,

tell

them

,

and

say

to

them

:

Verily

the

Saviour

diligently

inquires

into

the

inheritance

which

is

due

,

and

is

the

administrator

of

justice

.

And

the

angels

will

cast

down

their

enemies

,

and

will

fight

for

them

in

the

day

of

conflict

.

And

He

will

examine

every

single

foolish

and

idle

word

which

men

speak

,

and

they

shall

give

an

account

of

it

.

For

as

no

one

shall

escape

death

,

so

also

the

works

of

every

man

shall

be

laid

open

on

the

day

of

judgment

,

whether

they

have

been

good

or

evil

.

Tell

them

also

this

word

which

I

have

said

to

you

to

-

day

:

Let

not

the

strong

man

glory

in

his

strength

,

nor

the

rich

man

in

his

riches

;

but

let

him

who

wishes

to

glory

,

glory

in

the

Lord

.
