Page "Simon the Tanner" Paragraph 5
from
Wikipedia
Abraham compiled a group of monks, priests and elders.
He told them to all stay in the church for three days for a penance.
On the morning of the third day, Abraham was praying in the Hanging Church, when he saw Mary, mother of Jesus.
The Holy Virgin told him to go to the great market.
She said to him, " There thou wilt find a one-eyed man carrying on his shoulder a jar full of water ; seize him, for he it is at whose hands this miracle shall be manifested .” Abraham listened to Mary and went to the market where he met the man the Holy Virgin spoke of.
The man who the Virgin spoke of was Simon the tanner, who had plucked out his eye because of a passage from the Bible: " If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away.
It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away.
It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
