Contents : Apparently from a narrative of events relating in some way to Christ's earthly life. In the opening passage Christ addresses some one (9"'' sing, masc.) whose remembrance. He says, in ever before His Father and who partakes of the fruit of the tree of life. Then follows an account of the manner in which the .lews, after Christ's passion, attempted to decide as to His divinity. Their prayer for fire to consume the sacrifice consists of phrases such as the following : ft This is the sheep that was slaughtered in Egypt; Amen, This is the sheep that destroyed the first-born of Egypt; Amen. 15
