When the blessed Paul was at Rome through the word of the Lord, it happened that a certain servant of a ruler of Spain came to Rome with letters of his master's, and heard the word of God from Paul, the truly golden and beautiful nightingale.
2This servant being greatly touched, and being unable to remain and be filled with the divine word because he was hastened by the letters, returned into Spain in great grief, and being unable to show his desire to any one, because his master was an idolater, he was always pained at heart and sighing greatly.
3Now this servant was honoured and faithful to his masters, and as time went past, the servant fell sick and grew lean of flesh, which his master perceiving said to him, What has happened to you that you are thus fallen together in countenance?
4The servant said, There is a great pain in my heart, and I can in no way find rest.
5His master said to him, And what is the pain that cannot receive healing from my chief physician?
6The servant said, While I was still in Rome, this pain and its recurring mishap made itself known to me.
7His master said, And do you not know of any who have fallen into this disease and been healed?
8The servant said, Yes, but where that physician is I know not, for I left him in Rome.
9So many as have been attended by that physician and have gone through the water in his hands, have received healing immediately.
10His master said, I ought not to grudge to send you yet again to Rome, if perchance you might obtain healing.
