5. Then all the apostles, rejoicing with one mind, finished

‹ Section 4 Section 6 ›

their

prayer

.

And

when

they

had

said

the

Amen

,

behold

,

on

a

sudden

,

there

came

the

blessed

John

,

and

told

them

all

these

things

.

The

apostles

then

,

having

entered

the

house

,

found

Mary

,

and

saluted

her

,

saying

:

Blessed

art

thou

by

the

Lord

,

who

hath

made

heaven

and

earth

.

And

she

said

to

them

:

Peace

be

with

you

,

most

beloved

brethren

!

How

have

you

come

hither

?

And

they

recounted

to

her

how

they

had

come

,

each

one

raised

on

a

cloud

by

the

Spirit

of

God

,

and

set

down

in

the

same

place

.

And

she

said

to

them

:

God

hath

not

deprived

me

of

the

sight

of

you

.

Behold

,

I

shall

go

the

way

of

all

the

earth

,

and

I

doubt

not

that

the

Lord

hath

now

conducted

you

hither

to

bring

me

consolation

for

the

anguish

which

is

just

coming

upon

me

.

Now

therefore

I

implore

you

,

that

without

intermission

you

all

with

one

mind

watch

,

even

till

that

hour

in

which

the

Lord

will

come

,

and

I

shall

depart

from

the

body

.
