Now when Paul was departed from Myra and would go unto Sidon there was great sadness of the brethren that were in Pisidia and Pamphylia, because they yearned after his word and his holy appearance in Christ; so that some from Perga followed Paul, namely Thrasymachus and Cleon with their wives Aline and Chrysa, Cleon's wife. And on the way they nourished Paul: and they were eating their bread under a tree.

2And Paul said: Every one that believeth on Jesus Christ who hath saved us from all defilement and all uncleanness and all evil thoughts, he shall be manifest.

3And an old man stood up among them, saying: Wherefore presume ye to do that which is not seemly? Or have ye not heard of that which came to pass, which God brought upon Sodom and Gomorrha, because they did that which was not seemly? Even so is the judgment which shall come upon this people.

4But Paul, who was fasting now the third day, testified all the night long, being troubled, and smote his face and said: Lord, look upon their threatenings, and show forth thy power over the idols. And in that hour the house and the altars were shaken, and the brethren glorified God.
