Now the multitude of the Galileans had that great kindness
for me, and fidelity to me, that when their cities were taken by
force, and their wives and children carried into slavery, they
did not so deeply lament for their own calamities, as they were
solicitous for my preservation. But when John saw this, he envied
me, and wrote to me, desiring that I would give him leave to come
down, and make use of the hot-baths of Tiberias for the recovery
of the health of his body. Accordingly, I did not hinder him, as
having no suspicion of any wicked designs of his; and I wrote to
those to whom I had committed the administration of the affairs
of Tiberius by name, that they should provide a lodging for John,
and for such as should come with him, and should procure him what
necessaries soever he should stand in need of. Now at this time
my abode was in a village of Galilee, which is named Cans.
