and of the fish in like manner. (14)Now this was the third time Jesus had shewed himself to the disciples, after he rose from the dead. (15)When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs. (16)He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. (17)He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee! Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep. (18)Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast a younger man, thou didst gird up thyself, and go about whithersoever thy choice led thee: but when thou shalt grow old, another person extending thy hands, shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. (19)This he told him, to intimate by what kind of death he should glorify God. And having thus spoken, he said to him, Follow me. (20)Now Peter, turning about, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also at the supper reclined on his bosom, and said, Lord, which is the person who betrayeth thee? (21)Peter looking at him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what will become of this man? (22)Jesus saith to him, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. (23)Then this speech went forth among the disciples, as though this disciple was not to die: yet Jesus had not said to him, That he shall not die; but, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee? (24)This is the disciple who is testifing of these things, and hath written these things: and we know that his testimony is true. (25)And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if every particular was written, I am of opinion that the world itself would not be capable of retaining the books which should be written. Amen. THE ACTS OF THE HOLY APOSTLES. CHAP. I. THE former treatise, Theophilus, I composed, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach, (2)until that day, when having given a charge to his apostles through the Holy Ghost, whom he had chosen, he was taken up: (3)to whom also he had shewed himself alive, after he had suffered, by many infallible proofs, during forty days being frequently seen by them, and speaking of the things which relate to the kingdom of God: (4)and assembling them together, commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye have heard from me. (5)For John indeed baptised with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost not many days after the present.
