Chapter V.&#8212;Peter Departs for Sidon.

After Peter had spent a few days in teaching them in this way, and in healing them, they were baptized.&#160; And after that, all sat down together in the market-places in sackcloth and ashes, grieving because of his other wondrous works, and repenting their former sins.&#160; And when they of Sidon heard it, they did likewise, and sent to beseech Peter, since they could not come themselves for their diseases.&#160; And Peter did not spend many days in Tyre; but when he had instructed all its inhabitants, and freed them from all manners of diseases and had founded a church, and set over it as bishop one of the elders who were with him, he departed for Sidon.&#160; But when Simon heard that Peter was coming, he straightway fled to Beyrout with Appion and his friends.
