Fronto Is Healed

So it was that a man named Fronto, an officer of the imperial court, who had a terrible disease (for he used to bite his own tongue, and his eyes were in danger of injury), came to the mountain and asked Antony to pray for him. But Antony said to him, “Go, and you will be healed.” But when he insisted and stayed inside for some days, Antony waited, and then said, “If you stay here, you cannot be healed. Go, and when you have come into Egypt you will see the sign worked in you.” He believed and went. As soon as he set eyes on Egypt his sufferings stopped, and the man became well, according to the word of Antony, which the Savior had revealed to him in prayer. [a]
