Chapter 14 ⇦⇨

Adam causes Seth to relate what he heard from Michael the archangel, when he sent him unto Paradise to entreat God for to anoint his head in his sickness—Michael was appointed to preside over human bodies.

1 But when the first man our father Adam heard these things, that Jesus was baptized in Jordan, he called out to his son, Seth, and said,

2 Declare unto your sons, the patriarchs and prophets, all those things which thou didst hear from Michael, the archangel, when I sent thee unto the gates of Paradise, to entreat God that he would anoint my head when I was sick.

3 Then Seth, coming near unto the patriarchs and prophets, said, I Seth, when I was praying unto God at the gates of Paradise, beheld the angel of the Lord, Michael appear unto me saying, I am sent unto thee from the Lord; I am appointed to preside over human bodies.

4 I tell thee Seth, do not pray unto God in tears, and entreat him for the oil of the tree of mercy wherewith to anoint thy father Adam for his head-ache;

5 Because thou canst not by any means obtain it till the last day and times, namely, till five thousand and five hundred years be past.

6 Then will Christ, the most merciful Son of God, come on earth to raise again the human body of Adam, and at the same time to raise the bodies of the dead, and when he cometh he will be baptized in Jordan: 82

7 Then with the oil of his mercy he will anoint all those who believe on him; and the oil of his mercy will continue to future generations, for those who shall be born of the water and the Holy Ghost unto eternal life.

8 And when at that time the most merciful Son of God, Christ Jesus, shall come down on earth, he will introduce our father Adam into Paradise, to the tree of mercy.

9 When all the patriarchs and prophets heard all these things from Seth, they rejoiced more.
