While He was thus speaking, I saw the priests and the people running toward us with stones, as if they wished to kill us. I feared that we were about to die.

2And He said to me: 'Peter, many times I have told you that these are blind, devoid of any guide. If you want to know their blindness, place your hands over your eyes and tell me what you see.'

3However, having done this, I saw absolutely nothing. And I said: 'There is nothing to see!' He said to me again: 'Proceed in the same way once more.'

4I was invaded by a pleasant fear, because I saw a new light, stronger than the light of day; finally I saw the Savior. And I spoke to him of the things I had seen.

5He said to me again: 'Raise your hands and hear what the priests and the people are saying.' I paid attention to the priests who sat with the scribes, while the multitude outside was shouting.

6When He heard these things from me, He said to me: 'Sharpen your ears and listen to what they say.' I again paid attention.

7When I said this, the Savior continued: 'I told you that they are blind and deaf. Now then hear the things they will tell you in secret, and keep them.'
