582 THE HISTORY OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
'"word hath gone forth into all the earth, and
'"their speech hath come unto the ends thereof.'"

"ye indeed seen and heard all these things.'^" and

"country of Judea, and how He went up into
"Mount Tabor with Peter, and James and John
"his brother, and we saw Moses and Elias come
"to Him, and we heard them talking with Him.
"And we heard Peter say unto Jesus, 'Rabbi, it
'"would be good for us to dwell here. Let us make
'"three tabernacles, one for Thee, one for Moses,
'"and one for Elias;' but they did not know what
"they said, for they were terrified. And a cloud
"came and overshadowed them, and a voice came
"forth from the cloud saying, 'This is My beloved
'"Son; hear ye Him.' And again, God Almighty
"permitted us to see all the spirits which came
"forth from the four ends of the world; all these
"did God Almighty shew unto us, whether they
"were righteous or whether they were sinners. All
"these things we have seen, even to the second
"coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in
"glory to judge both the quick and the dead; all
"these things have we seen, O father Gerasimas."
