Another day when a council was being held in Scetis, the Fathers treated Moses with contempt in order to test him, saying, ‘Why does this black man come among us?’
When he heard this he kept silence.
When the council was dismissed, they said to him,
‘Abba, did that not grieve you at all?’
He said to them,
‘I was grieved, but I kept silence.’
When he heard this he kept silence.
When the council was dismissed, they said to him,
‘Abba, did that not grieve you at all?’
He said to them,
