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 8 came 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 9 1 Gr. a fire of they got out upon the land, they see 1a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and 3bread. Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which 10 ye have now taken. Simon Peter therefore 11 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 them, Come and 12 break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus cometh, and taketh 13 the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus 14 was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I 8 love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my different Greek lambs. He saith to him again a second time, 16 Simon, son of John, 'lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, 17 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 Or, perceivest knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto 9 8 18 him, Feed 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 wouldest not. 19 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 20 me. Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, 21 Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?

This saying therefore 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 beareth witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true. 24 25 And there are also many 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.

But ye shall receive 8 power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea 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 look- 10 ing stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 which also said, Ye 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. 12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jeru13 salem, a sabbath day's journey off. And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon the Zealot, and 14 Judas the son of James. These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, 2with 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 1Or. brother.
