And being previously instigated by her mother, she said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Immerser?

And his head was brought in a dish, and given to the maiden: and she carried it to her mother.

He answered and said: He that dips his hand with me in the dish, will deliver me up.

And she came in immediately, with haste, to the king, and made her request, saying: I desire that you give me, at once, in a dish, the head of John the Immerser.

And he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish, and gave it to the maiden; and the maiden gave it to her mother.

He answered and said to them: It is one of the twelve, he that dips with me into the dish.

And he called his twelve disciples to him, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure dis eases:

For as I was passing through, and looking attentively at the objects of your worship, I dis covered also an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him I make known to you.

Therefore, after this had been clone, the rest also in the island who had dis eases, came and were cured.

looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, because of which coming the heavens shall dis solve in fire, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat.
