The Preaching of Simeon Kefa 275
men walking through devious places and through the stony
difficulties of words, are wholly ignorant of. Therefore, to
modest and simple minds, when they see things come to pass
which have been foretold, it is enough and more than enough
that they may receive most certain knowledge from most certain
foreknowledge. And for the rest may they be at peace,
having received evident knowledge of the truth. For all other
things are treated by opinion, in which there can be nothing
firm. For what speech is there which may not be contradicted?
And what argument is there that may not be overthrown by
another argument? And hence it is, that by disputation of this
sort men can never come to any end of knowledge and learning,
but find the end of their life sooner than the end of their
questions.
Chapter LXII: End of the Conference
we must come to the True Prophet. Abba Yahweh wants Him
to be loved by all, and accordingly He has been pleased wholly
to extinguish those opinions which have originated with men,
and in regard to which there is nothing like certainty, that He
might be the more sought after, and that He whom they had
obscured should show to men the way of truth. For on this
account also Elohim made the world and filled it. Whence also
He is everywhere near to them who seek Him, though He be
sought in the remotest ends of the earth. But if any one seek
Him not in a pure, set-apart and faithful manner, He is indeed
within him, because He is everywhere, and is found within the
minds of all men. But, as we have said before, He is dormant to
the unbelieving and is held to be absent from those by whom
a had said this,
and more to the same effect, concerning Yahshua, he dismissed
the crowds. And when he very earnestly entreated the
old man to remain with us, he could prevail nothing; but he
also departed, to return next day, as had been agreed upon.
And after this, we also, with Kefa, went to our lodging, and enjoyed
our accustomed food and rest.
