Here at last the merchant turns to Me, saying; 'Lord, all these throngs which seem to follow You like sheep their shepherd, will You not please tell me who I have the privilege of speaking with in your person! Because I was asked and settled for the highest earthly status; yet it was indicated to me that I had erred. Now I have nothing further to say; therefore please regard me worthy of finding out more about your status!' – The Great Gospel of John, Book 1, Chapter 57, Paragraph 5
