Book: His Life

W >> William E. Barton, Theodore G. Soares, Sydney Strong >> His Life




So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there,
and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus saith unto them, "Bring of the
fish which ye have now taken."

Simon Peter 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 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 cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish
likewise.

This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples,
after that he was risen from the dead.

So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
"Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these?"

He saith unto him, "Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee."

He saith unto him, "Feed my lambs."

He saith unto him again a second time, "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, "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
knowest that I love thee."

Jesus saith unto 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."

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, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following;
who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, "Lord, who
is he that betrayeth thee?" Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus,
"Lord, and what shall this man do?"

Jesus saith unto him, "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is
that to thee? Follow thou me."

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?"


THE APPEARANCE TO THE ELEVEN ON THE MOUNTAIN.

The eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus
had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but
some doubted. And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, "All
authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Go ye
therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am
with you always, even unto the end of the world."


THE LAST APPEARANCE AND ASCENSION.

And he said unto them, "These are my words which I spake unto you,
while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled,
which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the
psalms, concerning me."

Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;
and he said unto them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should
suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day; and that
repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto
all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. Ye are witnesses of these
things. And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you:
but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on
high."

And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he
lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and
was carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to
Jerusalem with great joy: and were continually in the temple,
blessing God.

MANY OTHER SIGNS THEREFORE DID JESUS IN THE PRESENCE OF THE DISCIPLES
WHICH ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK, BUT THESE ARE WRITTEN, THAT YE MAY
BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD; AND THAT BELIEVING
YE MAY HAVE LIFE IN HIS NAME.
