Acts of John

Acts of John 63:1

And while there was great love and endless joy among the brethren, one, a servant, of Satan, coveted Drusiana, although he saw and knew that she was the wife of Andronicus. Very many also remonstrated with him, “It is impossible for thee to obtain this woman, especially also since she separated from the communion with her husband out of piety. Or dost thou alone not know that Andronicus, who was not before what he now is, namely a godly man, had locked her up in a tomb, saying, “Either I’ll have thee as a wife, as I had thee before, or thou must die? And she rather preferred to die than to do the act repugnant to her. Now, if she denied out of piety to her husband and master her consent to (sexual) intercourse, yea, persuaded him to become like-minded, should she consent to thee, who wishes to commit adultery with her? Desist from thy passion, which gives thee no rest! Desist from thy scheme, which thou canst not accomplish!”
