137

And the Lord said: Since you have been unforgiving and wrathful, you shall indeed die in glory and be taken by angels to paradise, but shall remain outside it forty days, in fear of the flaming sword, and then I will send Michael and he shall let you in. And Bartholomew shall go to Lycaonia and be crucified there, and Mariamne’s body shall be laid up in the river Jordan. And I shall bring back those who have been swallowed up.

Καὶ λέγει ὁ σωτὴρ τῷ Φιλίππῳ· Ἀλλ᾽ ἐπειδὴ παρήκουσάς μου καὶ ἀπέδωκας κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐφύλαξας τὴν ἐντολήν μου, διὰ τοῦτο τελειωθήσῃ μὲν ἐνδόξως καὶ χειραγωγηθήσῃ ὑπὸ τῶν ἁγίων μου ἀγγέλων καὶ ἐλεύσῃ μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ἕως τοῦ παραδείσου τῆς τρυφῆς· καὶ αὐτοὶ μὲν ἐλεύσονται πρός με εἰς τὸν παράδεισον, σὲ δὲ κελεύσω ἀποκλεισθῆναι ἔξω τοῦ παραδείσου ἕως ἡμερῶν τεσσαράκοντα, θαμβούμενον ὑπὸ τῆς φλογίνης καὶ στρεφομένης ῥομφαίας, καὶ στενάξεις ὅτι ἐκάκωσας τοὺς κακώσαντάς σε· καὶ μετὰ τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας ἀποστελῶ τὸν ἀρχάγγελόν μου Μιχαὴλ· καὶ κρατήσει τὴν ῥομφαίαν τὴν φυλάσσουσαν τὸν παράδεισον, καὶ ὄψει πάντας τοὺς δικαίους οἱτινες ἐν τῇ ἀκακίᾳ αὐτῶν ἐπορεύθησαν, καὶ τότε προσκυνήσεις τὴν δόξαν τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς· πλὴν τὸ σημεῖον τῆς ἐξελεύσεως σου δοξασθήσεται ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ μου. καὶ ὁ Βαρθολομαιῖος δὲ ἀπελθὼν ἐν Λυκαονία καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκεῖ σταυρωθήσεται· ἡ δὲ Μαριάμνη τὸ σῶμα αὐτῆς ἀποτίθεται ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῶ. ἐγὼ δὲ ὦ Φίλιππε οὐκ ἀνέξομαί σου ὅτι κατεπόντισας τοὺς ἀνθρώπους εἰς τὴν ἄβυσσον· ἀλλ᾽ ἰδοὺ τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἀναγάγω αὐτούς, καὶ οὕτως ἰδόντες σε πιστεύσωσιν ἐν τῇ δόξῃ τοῦ ἀποστείλαντός σε.
