Author: Unknown

14. And Peter said to him: Take this palm from

‹ Section 13 Section 15 ›

the

hand

of

our

brother

John

,

and

going

into

the

city

thou

wilt

find

much

people

blinded

,

and

declare

to

them

the

great

things

of

God

;

and

whosoever

shall

believe

in

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

,

thou

shalt

put

this

palm

upon

their

eyes

,

and

they

shall

see

;

but

those

who

will

not

believe

shall

remain

blind

.

And

when

he

had

done

so

,

he

found

much

people

blinded

,

lamenting

thus

:

Woe

unto

us

,

because

we

have

been

made

like

the

Sodomites

struck

with

blindness

.

Nothing

now

is

left

to

us

but

to

perish

.

But

when

they

heard

the

words

of

the

chief

who

had

been

cured

speaking

,

they

believed

in

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

;

and

when

he

put

the

palm

over

their

eyes

,

they

recovered

sight

.

Five

of

them

remaining

in

hardness

of

heart

died

.

And

the

chief

of

the

priests

going

forth

,

carried

back

the

palm

to

the

apostles

,

reporting

all

things

whatsoever

had

been

done

.
