wondered at this and became convinced that the Savior in whom the
prisoner by his side believed must be the true God or He could not
impart such cheerfulness and courage to a man about to die. The man
himself, therefore, became a convert to Christianity and was condemned
to die with James the apostle ( both were consequently beheaded on the
same day and with the same sword.)
