τελέσας οἰκονομίαν, σταυρόν τε καὶ θάνατον
καταδεξάμενος καὶ τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις παραδόξως
ἑνοποιήσας τὰ ἐπίγεια, ἀναστὰς δὲ ἐκ νεκρῶν καὶ
1 μετὰ δόξης εἰς οὐρανοὺς ἀναληφθεὶς καὶ ἐν δεξιᾷ
2 τῆς τοῦ Πατρὸς μεγαλωσύνης καθίσας, τὸ παράκλητον
Πνεῦμα τοῖς αὐτόπταις αὐτοῦ καὶ μύσταις,
κατὰ τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν, ἐν εἴδει γλωσσῶν πυρίνων
3 ἐξαπέστειλε, καὶ ἔπεμψεν αὐτοὺς εἰς πάντα τὰ
4 ἔθνη φωτίσαι τοὺς ἐν σκότει τῆς ἀγνοίας καθημένους,
5 καὶ βαπτίζειν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ
Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος,
[p. 8]
ὡς ἐντεῦθεν τοὺς μὲν αὐτῶν τὰς ἑῴας λήξεις, τοὺς
δὲ τὰς ἑσπερίους λαχόντας περιέρχεσθαι, βόρειά

αὐτοῖς πληροῦντας, διάγγελμα τότε καὶ ὁ ἱερώτατος
Θωμᾶς, εἷς ὑπάρχων τῆς δωδεκαρίθμου
6 φάλαγγος τῶν μαθητῶν τοῦ Χριστοῦ, πρὸς τὴν
τῶν Ἰνδῶν ἐξεπέμπετο, κηρύττων αὐτοῖς τὸ σωτήριον
7 κήρυγμα. τοῦ Κυρίου δὲ συνεργοῦντος
