From his childhood he had been as one filled with the perfect knowledge of
God, and even while he was yet but a lad many of the saints, as well as
certain holy women who dwelt in the free city of his birth, had been stirred
to much wonder by the grave wisdom of his answers.

And when his parents had given him the robe and the ring of manhood he kissed
them, and left them and went out into the world, that he might speak to the
world about God. For there were at that time many in the world who either knew
not God at all, or had but an incomplete knowledge of Him, or worshipped the
false gods who dwell in groves and have no care of their worshippers.

And he set his face to the sun and journeyed, walking without sandals, as he
had seen the saints walk, and carrying at his girdle a leathern wallet and a
little water-bottle of burnt clay.

And as he walked along the highway he was full of the joy that comes from the
perfect knowledge of God, and he sang praises unto God without ceasing; and
after a time he reached a strange land in which there were many cities.
