Text
Doctrina Addai 20:
I shall preach before you both concerning the coming of Christ, how it happened, and concerning his glorious power, and concerning his Sender, why and how he sent him, and concerning his power and his wonderful deeds and concerning the glorious mysteries of his coming which he spoke in the world and concerning the exactitude of his preaching, and he made himself small and humbled his exalted divinity in the body (var. humanity) which he had assumed and was crucified and descended to the place of the dead, and rent the partition which had never been rent, and revived the dead by his being killed, and he went down alone, but ascended with many to his glorious father.
