When He had said this, He showed
them His Hands and His Feet.
Yet since they still did not believe
for Joy, and they marvelled, He
said to them:“Have you any

So they gave Him a piece of
broiled fish and some
honeycomb. And He took it
and ate in their presence.

And He opened their
understanding, so that they
might comprehend the
Scriptures.
Then He said to them: “Thus it is
written, and thus it was
necessary for the Christ to
suffer and to rise
from the dead the third day,
and that Repentance and
Remission of
sins should be preached in His
Name to all Nations, beginning
at Jerusalem. And you are
Witnesses of these Things.
Behold, I send the Promise of My
Father upon you; but remain in
the city of Jerusalem until you

High.”
And He led them out as far as

Hands and Blessed them.

Thou longed for the Hypostatic
Wisdom. When it dwelt with
Thee, it separated Thee from
the earth and led Thee up on

Being thus adorned, propitiate
