आप बिना सोचे-समझे और अज्ञानतावश लेखन में खुद को चट्टान से नीचे क्यों गिरा लेते हैं? आप चर्च के संतों और विद्वानों से मिली परंपराओं पर क्यों नहीं टिके रहते? आप नई-नई बातें क्यों ले आते हैं?

लेकिन अकेले वही हैं जो हमारे गहन पतन तक पहुँचे, अकेले उन्होंने हमारे श्रम को अपने ऊपर लिया, अकेले उन्होंने हमारी अधर्मता के लिए मिलने वाले दंड को सहन किया, और उन्होंने हमें - जो केवल आधे मरे हुए नहीं थे बल्कि कब्रों और समाधियों में पड़े थे और पूरी तरह से गंदे और बदबूदार हो चुके थे - प्राचीन काल में भी और आज भी, किसी की भी उम्मीद से बढ़कर, यहाँ तक कि हमारी अपनी उम्मीद से भी परे, अपने परोपकारी उत्साह से बचाया है, और पिता के आशीषों को खुलकर बाँटते हैं - वही जीवन और प्रकाश के दाता, हमारे महान चिकित्सक, राजा और प्रभु, परमेश्वर के मसीह हैं।

आइए हम सब मिलकर उन सभी चमत्कारों और पुनरुत्थान के दृश्यों की रचना करें जिन्हें हमने कभी नहीं देखा और इस ढोंग को मौत तक निभाएं! बिना किसी बात के क्यों न मरें? बिना किसी अच्छे कारण के दी जाने वाली यातना और कोड़े खाने से क्यों डरें? आइए हम सभी जातियों के पास जाएं और उनकी संस्थाओं को गिरा दें और उनके देवताओं की निंदा करें! और भले ही हम किसी को न मना सकें, कम से कम हमें अपने ही धोखे का दंड मिलने की संतुष्टि तो मिल जाएगी।
Let us ban together to invent all the miracles and resurrection appearances which we never saw and le us carry the sham even to death! Why not die for nothing?

पैन्टेनुस इनमें से एक थे और कहा जाता है कि वे भारत गए थे। ऐसी खबर है कि वहाँ ईसा मसीह को जानने वाले लोगों के बीच उन्हें मत्ती का लिखा हुआ सुसमाचार मिला, जो उनके पहुँचने से पहले ही वहाँ मौजूद था। क्योंकि प्रेरितों में से एक, बार्थोलोम्यू ने उन्हें उपदेश दिया था और मत्ती का हिब्रू भाषा में लिखा ग्रंथ उनके पास छोड़ दिया था, जिसे उन्होंने तब तक संभाल कर रखा था। कई अच्छे कार्य करने के बाद, पैन्टेनुस अंततः अलेक्जेंड्रिया के विद्यालय के प्रमुख बने, और मौखिक तथा लिखित दोनों रूपों में दैवीय शिक्षा के खजाने की व्याख्या की।
Pantaenus was one of these and is said to have gone to India. It is reported that among persons there who knew of Christ, he found the Gospel according to Matthew, which had anticipated his own arrival. For Bartholomew, one of the apostles, had preached to them, and left with them the writing of Matthew in the Hebrew language, which they had preserved till that time.
