On another occasion his disciple Zechariah came to him, and found him in the stupor of prayer, and his hands were raised up to heaven, and he went out and closed the door; and he came [again] at the ninth hour, and found him in the same attitude, and when he came again about the tenth hour, and found him still in the same attitude, he knocked at the door, and then went in and found him in a state of silence. And he said to him, ' What has happened to you today, O father?' And the old man said to him, ' My son, I felt weak and ill'; but the disciple laid hold upon his feet, saying, ' I will not leave you until you tell me what you have seen.' The old man said to him, ' Swear to me that you will not reveal the matter to any man until I go forth from the body, and then I will tell you'; and the disciple entreated him, and the old man said, ' I was snatched up into the heavens, and I saw the glory of God, and I remained there until now, when I was dismissed.'
