Apostolic Romance
And Paul seeing us rejoiced greatly, and said, Welcome ye that have been troubled.
2And Polyxena, laying hold of his feet, said, It may be that this trouble came upon me because I would have blasphemed you, but now I beseech and entreat that I may not again be delivered into such troubles and misfortunes.
3And Paul said, weeping, Thus must we be troubled, my daughter, that we may know our defender, Jesus Christ.
