1Now I, James, which wrote this history in Jerusalem, when there arose a tumult when Herod died, withdrew myself into the wilderness until the tumult ceased in Jerusalem. Glorifying the Lord God which gave me the gift, and the wisdom to write this history. 2And grace shall be with those that fear our Lord Jesus Christ: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
