English: And John said unto him, 'I adjure thee, O my holy father, by the Holy and Consubstantial Trinity, and by the prayers of the monastery, that thou shave my head this day, and especially, as God knoweth, my heart burneth with desire for the life of the monk, and for the garb of the angels.'

English: And the Archimandrite said unto him, 'My son, thou art a very young man, but behold, I see thee practising very many mighty works of abstinence; thou wilt thyself destroy thine own body, and wilt not be able to stand up, neither to pray, nor to fast.

English: And when the hater of what is good, that is to say, the Devil, saw him, he became angry with a very great anger, for he could not contain himself when he saw the great ascetic labours which John performed in his daily life, and the great renown (which he obtained).
Coptic: αλλα αfεινε μπρπμεευε ννεfειοτε εhουν εροf .
English: Therefore the Devil brought into his mind the remembrance of his parents,

English: And John said unto him, 'Forgive me, O my lord father, it is not the excess of ascetic labour which hath increased weakness in me, but the remembrance of my parents which Satan hath cast into my heart, and the thought of the misery which is in my house.
Coptic: αυω ον πεικεhωβ ενγσοουν μμοf αν
English: And besides there is this matter also which I do not understand.

English: And the Archimandrite said unto him, 'Have I not told thee already that the Devil possesseth multitudes of wales? But thy crown of patient endurance is great.'
Coptic: τοτε αfριμε νcιπhλλο ναρχιμανδριτησ ετβεπμακαριοσ ιωhαννησ jεαρηυ fνακτοf εβολ ντhυπομονη .
English: Then the old man, the Archimandrite, wept for the blessed man John, because he thought that perhaps he might turn aside from his patient endurance.

English: but I entreat thee to I pray for my wretched state, and perhaps thou wilt continue to do so, that God may make me perfect in patient. endurance until I trample upon all the powder of the Enemy; besides the command (hath come) to me to go.'
Coptic: παρχιμανδριτησ δε αfτρενεσνηυ τηρου σωουh εhουν . ετρευειρε νhεννοc νsληλ εhραι εjωf μνhενρμειοουε εναsωου .
