BARTHOLOMEW THE APOSTLE - from The Golden Legend","St. Bartholomew is portrayed as traveling into distant lands and entering a temple where an idol claims power to heal. The idol’s false promises are confronted as the narrative shifts between devils, prophetic signs, and the recognition of Bartholomew by his heavenly devotion and spiritual attributes. He delivers the afflicted, unbinds a daughter chained by demonic force, and then refuses worldly gifts, redirecting attention to redemption. The account explains divine victory over evil through Christ’s justice, wisdom, and fasting, emphasizing spiritual truth over material offerings.","The Golden Legend or Lives Of The Saints  \nCompiled by Jacobus de Voragine, Archbishop of Genoa, 1275 Englished by William Caxton, First Edition 1483  \nFrom the Temple Classics Edited by F.S. Ellis  \n123// THE LIFE OF ST. BARTHOLOMEW THE APOSTLE  \nS  \nt. Bartholomew, the apostle, went into India, which is in the end of the world. And therein he entered into a temple where an idol was which was named Astaroth, and he, as a pilgrim, abode there. In that idol dwelt a fiend that said that he could heal all manner sicknesses, but he lied, for he could not make them whole, but might better  \nthem but for a while.  \nAnd the temple was full of sick people, and could have no answer of that idol, wherefore they went in to another city whereas another idol was worshipped named Berith, and they demanded him wherefore Astaroth gave to them no answer. And Berith said: Your god is bound with chains of fire that he neither dare draw breath ne speak after that Bartholomew, the apostle of God, entered into the temple.  \nAnd they said to him: Who is that Bartholomew?  \nAnd the devil said: He is the friend of God Almighty, and he is come into this province for to avoid all the gods of India.  \nAnd then they said: Tell us some tokens and signs that we may know him and find him.  \nBartholomew is expounded the son of abovehanging the waters, or son of overhanging thesea. He is said of bar, that is as much to say as son, and tholos, which is as much to say as sovereignty, and of moys, that is to say water. And hereof is said Bartholomew, as a son hanging over the waters. That is of God, which enhanceth the minds of doctors on high, for to shed and bespring beneath the waters of doctrine. And it is a name of Syriac and not of Hebrew.  \nAnd the first three suspendings that he had, ought to be noted: He was suspended or taken up from the love of the world, and he was suspended, that is to say ententive, in heavenly love, and he was suspended, that is to say wrapped, in the grace and in the aid of God. Not by his merits his life shone, but by the aid of God. Of the second came the deepness of his wisdom, of which deepness of wisdom Denis saith, in his mystical theology: The divine Bartholomew, of whom is much divinity and right little, and that the gospel is broad and great, and also it is short.  \nAnd after the entent of St. Denis, Bartholomew will show that all things may be affirmed and showed of God under one consideration, and by another consideration may be more properly denied.  \nAnd the devil said to them: He hath his hairs black and crisp, his skin white, eyes great, his nostrils even and straipht, his beard long and hoar a little, and of a straight and seemly stature. He is clad in a white coat, and a white mantle, which in every corner hath gems of purple and precious stones therein. And it is sith twenty-six years that his clothes never waxed old ne foul. He prayeth and worshippeth God on his knees a hundred times a day, and a hundred times by night. The angels go with him, which never suffer him to be weary ne to be an hungered, he is always of like semblant, glad and joyous. He seeth all things tofore, he knoweth all things, he speaketh all manner languages, and understandeth them, and he knoweth well what I say to you. And when ye seek him, if he will he may show himself to you, and if him list not, not shall ye find him. And I pray you, when ye find him, that ye pray him that he come not hither, that his angels do not to me as they have done to my fellow.  \nThen they went and sought him diligently and busily two days, and found him not.  \nOn a day, one that was beset with a devil cried, and said: Apostle of God, Bartholomew, thy prayers burn me.  \nAnd the apostle said: Hold thou thy peace and come thence.  \nAnd anon he was delivered. And when Polemius, king of that region, heard this thing, which had a daughter lunatic, he sent to the apostle, praying that he would come to him and heal his daughter.
