17 And all the sages said, Amen.
18 Then Meng-ste said, The Holy One has sent to us a man illumined by the efforts of unnumbered years, to lead the thoughts of men.
19 This man, approved by all the master minds of heaven and earth, this man from Galilee, this Jesus, chief of all the sages of the world, we gladly recognize.
20 In recognition of this wisdom that he brings to men, we crown him with the Lotus wreath.
21 We send him forth with all the blessing of the seven sages of the world.
22 Then all the sages laid their hands on Jesus’ head, and said with one accord, Praise God!
23 For wisdom, honor, glory, power, riches, blessing, strength, are yours, O Christ, forever more.
24 And every living creature said, Amen.
25 And then the sages sat in silence seven days.
