_Gregentius and the Jews in Arabia Felix._--
"We have a remarkable instance to this purpose in ecclesiastical
history, which is attested by many and great authors. It seems,
about 400 years after our Saviour's ascension, one Gregentius, a
bishop, endeavoured the conversion of those Jews which lived in
Arabia Felix. After a tedious disputation of three days'
continuance some of the Jews desired the bishop to show them Jesus
alive, and it would convince them. Immediately upon this the earth
began to tremble, and the sky to shine and echo with lightnings
and thunder. After these ceased, the gates of the celestial palace
opened, and a bright serene cloud appeared, darting forth beams of
an extraordinary lustre. At last our blessed Saviour showed
himself walking on this bright cloud, and a voice was heard from
this excellent glory saying, 'I am He who was crucified by your
fathers.' This glorious appearance cast all the Jews prostrate on
the ground, and, beating their breasts, they cried with a loud
voice, 'Lord have mercy on us!' and afterwards were baptised into
the faith of Christ."--_Sermons_ by John March, B.D., late Vicar
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. 2nd ed. 1699, p. 235.

extraordinary apparition?
