Then Peter began to hold her up, and to comfort her, and to ask what was the matter, or what she suffered. But she at length, with difficulty recovering her breath, and nerving herself up to the greatness of the joy which she hoped for, and at the same time wiping her face, said: \u201cIs he here, the youth of whom you speak?\u201d But Peter, when he understood the matter, said: \u201cTell me first, or else you shall not see him.\u201d Then she said: \u201cI am the mother of the youth.\u201d Then says Peter: \u201cWhat is his name?\u201d And she answered: \u201cClement.\u201d Then said Peter: \u201cIt is himself; and he it was that spoke with me a little while ago, and whom I ordered to go before me to the ship.\u201d Then she fell down at Peter\u2019s feet and began to entreat him that he would hasten to the ship. Then Peter said: \u201cYes, if you will promise me that you will do as I say.\u201d Then she said: \u201cI will do anything; only show me my only son, for I think that in him I shall see my twins also.\u201d Then Peter said: \u201cWhen you have seen him, dissemble for a little time, until we leave the island.\u201d \u201cI will do so,\u201d she said.","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII: Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter XXI","type":"page"}
