blessed

ones

to

make

entreaty

for

me

to

the

Lord

that

the

trees

might

receive

me

to

take

me

across

.

And

they

all

cried

to

the

Lord

and

said

,

O

God

that

hast

shown

us

thy

marvels

and

hast

made

thy

servant

Zosimus

to

come

to

us

out

of

the

world

of

vanity

,

set

him

again

in

his

own

place

with

peace

,

and

command

these

trees

to

bow

down

and

take

up

thy

servant

and

set

him

on

the

further

side

.

And

as

they

finished

their

prayer

,

the

trees

straightway

bent

down

before

them

,

and

received

me

as

on

the

second

day

before

;

and

being

set

on

the

other

side

of

the

river

I

cried

with

a

loud

voice

and

said

,

Men

of

righteousness

,

who

are

brothers

of

the

holy

angels

,

grant

me

your

prayer

in

peace

,

for

behold

I

depart

from

you

.

And

making

prayer

they

all

cried

out

,

saying

,

Peace

,

peace

be

with

you

,

brother

.
