An important person came from abroad to Scetis bringing much
gold with him, and he asked the priest to give some of it to the
brothers. The priest said, "The brothers do not need it,"
but as the other was very insistent, he put a basket filled with gold at
the door of the church. The priest said, "Let anyone who needs
it take some." But nobody came, and some did not even notice it
was there. So the priest said to the visitor, "God has seen your
charity. Go, and give it to the poor." Greatly edified, the man
went away.
