ourselves to the governor of the city. We wasted no time and explained our mission and inquired as to where we could find any Christians in the city. We were referred to a small temple of the Christians on the outskirts the city. Upon arriving at the temple we posed as seekers of Christianity. We gave the letter of Paul to their chief priest to establish our credentials. He declined our

offer of The Teachings of the Twelve Apostles saying he already had a copy. We later learned he, in fact was one of the authors! When we attempted to give our cover story he waved his hand and said "Who you are, Muldor of Germania and Danae Scullus, has been revealed to me. You seek Mary, the motherof Jesus. I am John, her son, by the command of the Lord as he hung upon the cross." When we asked how he knew of our names and mission, he laughed and said

"I saw you long before you set foot on these shores, but I have seen greater sights than these, as will you." Clearly the governor of Ephesus needs to tighten the security of his office. He then explained that Mary would be there soon from the marketplace. When the woman Mary arrived she greeted us with a kiss and addressed agent Scullus as one would speak to a daughter. Mary was a common appearing woman, of great age, dressed all in black, with a magnificent mane of silver-gray hair that fell to almost her ankles.
