Open in the reader →

1In Hagios Saba 259, this passage appears after Chapter 16. (1) Again, a certain young man was splitting wood into equal parts. And he split the bottom of his foot, bled out, and died. (2) A commotion arose, and Jesus ran there. Forcing his way through the crowd, he seized the stricken foot, and immediately it was healed. And he said to the young man, “Go, split your wood.” (3) And the crowds saw and were amazed and said, “For he saved many souls from death, and he will continue to save all the days of his life.”
