And when the sphinx heard these words,
Immediately 1t walked about in the pres
ence Of them all, and set out for the land
Of the Canaanites to the field Of Mamre,
and cried outside Of the tombs. as Jesus
had commanded It.
And straightway this twelve patriarohs
came forth alive out Of the tomb, and an

swered and said! II have been sent to the
three patriarchs for testimony; but do 70
go in. and rest until the time Of the resur-
r%ection." And having heard they went into
the tomb and fell asleep. And the three
patr1archs set out along with the sphinx
to Jesus. and convicted the chief priests.
And Jesus said to them: go away to your
places" And they went away. And he said
also to the image: G up to thy place"
And straightway the sphinx went up and
stood In Its place. And Jesus also did many
other miracles yet they did not believe in
him.
There came to Herod the woman veron,c.

Ing to do this. she offered a petition to
Herod. telling the manner Of her cure by
Jesus, and asking permission to erect a
monument to the Savior Christ in this
same city. And King Herod. hearting these !
Things from the petition, was astonished at
the miracle. And. being afraid at the mys. |

Immediately after this, Veronica erected

and silver. It represented a woman with |

Opposite this was another upright

Now the apostles once said unto Jesus:
70. son Of Mary. is thy Lord able to send
q table from heaven covered with
meats to satisfy usr' But Jesus answered
them: Fear God If ye believe in his law"
And they answered.: I'VE have an appetite
and desire to eat Of the food of heaven, for
the repose Of our hearts, and to know II
thou speakest truth. Of which we shall be
witnesses" Thereupon Jesus said: 20
God, my Lord. cause to descend upon US
from heaven a table covered with meat,
that this may be a day Of rejoicing for us
and those who come after. This shall be a
sign Of omnipotency; enrich us with thy

rhereupon God answered.: II will cause to
descend from heaven the food which thou
and whosoever of you will not

rhereupon two clouds descended bearing
