2 And the Spirit said unto me: Behold, what desirest thou? 3 And I said: I desire to behold the things which my father saw. 4 And the Spirit said unto me: Believest thou that thy father saw the tree of which he hath spoken? 5 And I said: Yea, thou knowest that I believe all the words of my father. 6 And when I had spoken these words, the Spirit cried with a loud voice, saying: Hosanna to the Lord, the most high God; for he is God over all the earth, yea, even above all.
