And as I, Onesimus, was sailing into Spain to Paul, I received from the Lord a revelation saying to me, Onesimus, the vessel in which you now are will land in the parts of Greece, and you will find on the shore of the harbour two maids and one youth.

2Assist them and take them to Paul.

3When we reached this place according to the command of the Lord, we found the maids together with the youth seeking a vessel.

4When the maids saw us therefore, they knew that we were of the hope of Christ, and Polyxena running to us said, Verily the man of God cannot be concealed, for the grace and kindliness of his countenance makes him manifest.

5And when we sought to sail away, the sea was troubled by the providence of God.

6And there was with us a disciple of Paul, by name Lucius, capable in word to teach the city.

7Therefore we remained seven days, and God opened to that place a great door of faith, and twenty thousand believed, and there was great joy and rejoicing in all the city.

8And when the season was favourable for us to sail the prefect again constrained us, and we stayed another seven days, until all believed and rejoiced in the Lord.
