The Book of the Resurrection of Christ by Bartholomew the Apostle 16

1Then all the Apostles rose up, and they saluted (i.e. kissed) Bartholomew on the head, and said unto him, 'Well done, our beloved brother Bartholomew, and [noble] is the humility wherewith thou hast abased thyself.' When the Apostles had said these things, they offered up the Offering. And Mariham (Mary) was with them, she whom the Saviour Jesus had sent unto them, saying, 'Call them to Me to-morrow morning [at dawn] in Galilee, in order that I may give you My peace.'
