Testament of Our Lord

tr. Cooper and Maclean, 1902

27. Book II, Chapter 27

And falling down we worshipped Him, saying, Glory to Thee, O Jesus, Name of light, who didst give us the teaching of Thy commandments, so that we may be like unto Thee,¹ we and all those who hear Thee. And when He spoke to us and taught and commanded us, and showed many loosings² and miracles, He was taken up from us, giving us tranquillity.³

John and Peter and Matthew wrote this Testament, and sent [it] in copies from Jerusalem by Dositheus and Silas and Magnus and Aquila, whom they chose to send [them] to all dioceses.⁴ Amen.

The Second Book of Clement is ended, translated from the Greek to the Syrian language by James the poor,⁵ in the year 998 of the Greeks.⁶

Notes

Perhaps suggested by 1 John iii. 2 (cf. Rom. viii. 3; Phil. ii. 7, etc.), but quite different wording.
I.e. healings?
Or peace. But it is a different word from the [kiss of] peace. Cf. St. John xiv. 27 (but different word); cf also St. Luke xxiv. 51.
