CHAPTER 47.
Jesus with Elihu and Salome in Egypt. Tells the story of his journeys. Elihu and Salome praise God. Jesus goes to the temple in Heliopolis and is received as a pupil.
And Jesus came to Egypt land, and all was well. He tarried not upon the coast; he went at once to Zoan, home of Elihu and Salome, who five and twenty years before had taught his mother in their sacred school.
2 And there was joy when met these three. When last the son of Mary saw these sacred groves he was a babe;
3 And now a man grown strong by buffetings of every kind; a teacher who had stirred the multitudes in many lands.
4 And Jesus told the aged teachers all about his life; about his journeyings in foreign lands; about the meetings with the masters and about his kind receptions by the multitudes.
5 Elihu and Salome heard his story with delight; they lifted up their eyes to heaven and said,
6 Our Father-God, let now thy servants go in peace, for we have seen the glory of the Lord;
7 And we have talked with him, the messenger of love, and of the covenant of peace on earth, good will to men.
8 Through him shall all the nations of the earth be blest; through him, Immanuel.
