当黑暗降临大地，阿若莫塞的约瑟点燃了松木火把，从山上下到山谷，去忙自己的家事。

跪在荒凉谷的燧石上，他看到一个年轻人裸身哭泣。他的头发色若蜂蜜，他的身体洁如白花；只是他身上有棘刺的刮伤，头上有岑树叶编的冠。

于是富有的约瑟对裸身哭泣的青年说道：“我毫不奇怪你是如此悲伤，他确是个公正的人。”

年轻人答道：“我不是为他哭泣，而是为我自己哭泣。我也曾把水变成酒;我也曾治愈麻风病，给盲者带来光明;我也曾在水上行走，驱走坟墓内魔鬼;我也曾救助沙漠中的饥民，也曾使他们在狭室里起死回生；我也曾在众人面前嘱命，让无籽的无花果树凋零。这个人所做的一切我也曾经做过。可是他们却没有把我钉在十字架上。”

Now when the darkness came over the earth Joseph of Arimathea,
having lighted a torch of pinewood, passed down from the hill into
the valley. For he had business in his own home.

And kneeling on the flint stones of the Valley of Desolation he saw
a young man who was naked and weeping. His hair was the colour of
honey, and his body was as a white flower, but he had wounded his
body with thorns and on his hair had he set ashes as a crown.

And he who had great possessions said to the young man who was
naked and weeping, ‘I do not wonder that your sorrow is so great,
for surely He was a just man.’

And the young man answered, ‘It is not for Him that I am weeping,
but for myself. I too have changed water into wine, and I have
healed the leper and given sight to the blind. I have walked upon
the waters, and from the dwellers in the tombs I have cast out
devils. I have fed the hungry in the desert where there was no
food, and I have raised the dead from their narrow houses, and at
my bidding, and before a great multitude, of people, a barren fig-
tree withered away. All things that this man has done I have done
also. And yet they have not crucified me.’
