Amulet for help from god and the saints


Text: Berlin
Description: papyrus

emended and restored version of the Greek transcription
Translator:


Berlin 1185 was rolled up and used as an amulet to help the one who wore it. Besides referring to the aeons, the angels, the saints, and the virgin Mary, the text opens with an historiola that paraphrases Matthew 14:22-33.


TEXT

"[When a strong] wind [came up] and he (that is, Peter) began to sink, he called out with a loud 5 voice. And he (that is, Jesus) held out his hand and grabbed him. And when it was
calm, he (that is, Peter) shouted, "Son of God!" And I say, to the omnipotent one, glory to you, god, who creates the angels, ruler of aeons. The heavenly chorus of aeons praises you .... I call for [my help, all] those who [have been sanctified] through their struggles, in memory of St. [Cosmas and] in memory of St. [Damian]. The [chorus of cherubim praises] god, [and ] the chorus of angels joins in praising the thrice-[holy) church, [and] the community [of the saints blesses] the king Christ, god. The chorus of [all the] angels [and] the chorus of the [perfect saints praise] you, mother of god [and ever-virgin]. Chorus of angels [and] archangels, bless ...."

Selah...

Spell for protection against reptiles


Text: Rylands 104, section 4
Description: paper, 19 x 14 em, folded several times
Bibliography: Walter E. Crum, Catalogue of the Coptic Manuscripts in the
Collection of the John Rylands Library, Manchester, 53-55; Angelicus M.
Kropp, Ausgewiihlte koptische Zaubertexte, 268-69
Translator: James E. Goehring

This prayer for protection against the bite of reptiles is part of a series of spells for a variety of purposes. In addition to this protective spell, other sections of the text are used against fever, for protection "from
everything," and perhaps on behalf of "a mother in childbirth." In his edition of the Coptic text, Walter E. Crum does not include indications of line divisions.

TEXT
A prayer. When you recite it, no reptile can bite (you).

0 Jesus, I am in Mary. 0 John, I am in Elizabeth. The lord Jesus said, "Let nothing I ... ] at all I ... ] me, N., on this day and this
night." It is the mouth of the lord Sabaoth that said this: Let no reptile bite me, but let all reptiles of the earth become stone in
my presence. Let all those on earth become as stone and iron in my presence. For it is the mouth of the lord Sabaoth that said this
and the words of the lord are true. It is done.

Lol.

All the miracles in the scriptures were performed by by God.

If he doesn't know you, and you read a particular verse 777 times, You are on your own .

If you like, eat the whole Bible verses, the almighty will not respond to you if you are not in tune with him.

However, you can throw a verse in a river 77 times and cover your face with black cloth and still get a response.

THAT IS SURELY NOT FROM GOD.

He is my father. I know his works.

A demon can respond to you.... and consequently, you become oppressed.

Thanks for the input.
