Acts of Thomas

Acts of Thomas 152:1

And she says to him, “Thou wert with us, and didst not leave us even for an hour, and thou canst ask how we were locked up? But if thou wilt hear, listen: King Misdai sent for me and said, the magician has not yet become master over thee, because as I hear, he enchants the people by oil, water and bread, but he has not yet enchanted thee. Now obey me, otherwise I shall lock thee up and strike thee, and destroy him. For I know that so long as he has not yet given thee oil, water and bread, he has not been able to have power over thee. And I said to him, Thou hast power over my body; do unto it as thou pleasest; but my soul I will not destroy with thee. Upon hearing this, he locked me up in a room. And Charis also brought Mygdonia and locked her up with me. And thou hast brought us forth and brought us hither to this assembly. Now give us the seal that the hopes of Misdai, who intends this, be destroyed.”
