so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb; 12 and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had 13 lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where 14 they have laid him. When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew 15 not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will 16 take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which 17 is to say, 1Master. Jesus saith to her, 2 Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and 18 my God and your God. Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and how that he had said these things unto her. 19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for 1 Or, Teacher 4 That is, Twin. fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when he had 20 said this, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. Jesus therefore said to them: 21 again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he 22 had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the 3 Holy Ghost: whose soever sins ye forgive, 23 they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. But Thomas, one of the 24 twelve, called 4Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples 25 therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again 26 his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, 27 Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. Tho- 28 21 1 After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested 2 himself on this wise. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called 2Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his 3 disciples. Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they 4 took nothing. But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: howbeit the disciples knew not that 5 it was Jesus. Jesus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They 6 answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. That 7 disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his coat about him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea. But the other disciples came 8 in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net full of fishes. So when they got out 9 upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and 5 bread. Jesus saith unto them, Bring 10 of the fish which ye have now taken. Simon Peter 11 therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, the net was not rent. Jesus saith unto 12 them, Come and break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus com- 13 eth, and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise. This is now the 14 third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. So when they had broken 15 their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of 2 That is, Twin. 6 Or, aboard 3 Gr. a fire of char7 Or, loaf 1 Or, hast thou believed? coal. 4 Or, a fish 5 Or, a loaf 3 1 John, 2lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of 1 John, 2 lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, 17 Tend my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou 4knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed 18 my sheep. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou 19 wouldest not. Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. Peter, 20 turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee? Peter therefore seeing him 21 saith to Jesus, Lord, 5 and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him, If I 22 will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. This saying there- 23 fore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? This is the disciple which 24 beareth witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true. And there are also many 25 other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that should be written. 1 Gr.

But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And 9 when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they were 10 looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, Ye 11 men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, which was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven. Then returned they unto 12 Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem, a sabbath They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the king-day's journey off.

These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, 2 with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 15 And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of 3 persons gathered together, about a 16 hundred and twenty), Brethren, it was needful that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus. 17 For he was numbered among us, and received his portion 18 in this ministry. (Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all 19 his bowels gushed out. And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of 20 blood.)
