most excellent Theophilus, that thou mayst know the certainty of the things wherein thou hast been instructed.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God shall give Him the throne of David his father,

And the angel answered and said unto her, The holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee, and therefore thine holy offspring shall be called the Son of God: and lo,

And thou, my child, shalt be called the prophet of the most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord,

But do ye love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing from it: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the sons of the most High; for He is kind even to the ungrateful and the wicked:

and they not being able to pay him, he freely forgave them both: tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

And Simon answered, I suppose he to whom he forgave most. And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged:

But when he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down to Him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.
