The Epistles Of Jesus Christ And Abgarus, King Of Edessa
In the 4th Century, Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea, in Palestine, confirmed that
he had found the Epistles of Jesus Christ And Abgarus, King of Edessa in the
public registers and records of the city of Edessa in Mesopotamia. It was
written in the Syriac language. Although they are considered Apocryphal, the
erudite Grabe, Archbishop Cave, Dr. Parker, and other church men tried
strenuously to have the Epistles admitted into Scripture. The Epistles contain
two letters. The first is a letter written by King Abgarus to Jesus asking for
his help. The second is Jesus’ reply to the King.The letters concern the
supernatural healing powers of Christ.
Jesus' Healing Powers
1:1
ABGARUS, king of Edessa, to Jesus the good Saviour, who appears at Jerusalem,
greeting.
2
I have been informed concerning you and your cures, which are performed without
the use of medicines and herbs,
3
For it is reported, that you cause the blind to see, the lame to walk, do both
cleanse lepers, and cast out unclean spirits and devils, and restore them to
health who have been long diseased, and raisest up the dead;
Abgarus Declares Jesus As The Son Of God
1:4
All which when I heard, I was persuaded of one of these two, viz: either that
you are God himself descended from heaven, who do these things, or the son of
God.
5
On this account therefore I have wrote to you, earnestly to desire you would
take the trouble of a journey hither, and cure a disease which I am under.
Jesus Tells Abgarus He Will Send Help After His Ascension
2:3
As to that part of your letter, which relates to my giving you a visit, I must
inform you, that I must fulfil all the ends of my mission in this country, and
after that be received up again to him who sent me.
4
But after my ascension I will send one of my disciples, who will cure your
disease, and give life to you, and all that are with you.
