For when I said to him, \u201cOnly set forth to me the words which you have heard of the Man who has appeared, and I will adorn them with my speech, and preach the counsel of God; and if you do so, within a few days I will sail with you, for I greatly desire to go to the land of Jud\u00e6a, and perhaps I shall dwell with you all my life;\u201d\u2014when he heard this, he answered: \u201cIf you wish to inquire into our affairs, and to learn what is for your advantage, sail with me at once. But if you will not, I shall now give you directions to my house, and that of those whom you wish to meet, that when you choose to come you may find us. For I shall set out to-morrow for my home.\u201d And when I saw that he could not be prevailed upon, I went with him as far as the harbour; and having learned of him the directions which he had promised to give me for finding the dwellings, I said to him, \u201cWere it not that to-morrow I am to recover a debt that is due to me, I should straightway set sail with you. But I shall soon overtake you.\u201d And having said this, and having given him in charge to those who commanded the ship, I returned grieving, remembering him as an excellent and dear friend.","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII: Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter XIV","type":"page"}
