¹⁴ And went after the man of God, and came up with him while he was seated under an oak-tree. And he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.

⁴ While he himself went a day's journey into the waste land, and took a seat under a broom-plant, desiring for himself only death; for he said, It is enough: now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.

⁶ Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.

³⁴ Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

¹¹ Even to this hour we are without food, drink, and clothing, we are given blows and have no certain resting-place;

¹² And with our hands we do the hardest work: when they give us curses we give blessings, when we undergo punishment we take it quietly;

²⁷ In hard work and weariness, in frequent watchings, going without food and drink, cold and in need of clothing.

¹² It is the same to me if I am looked down on or honoured; everywhere and in all things I have the secret of how to be full and how to go without food; how to have wealth and how to be in need.

¹³ I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.
