¹ After that, Jesus showed himself again at the sea of Tiberias. And on this wise showed he himself: ² There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, which is called Didymus: and Nathaniel of Cana a city of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of the disciples. ³ Simon Peter said unto them, "I go a fishing." They said unto him, "We also will go with thee."

They cast out, and anon they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. ⁷ Then said the disciple whom Jesus loved unto Peter, "It is the Lord." When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded his mantle to him, for he was naked, and sprang into the sea. ⁸ The other disciples came by ship: For they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits; And they drew the net with fishes. ⁹ As soon as they were come to land, they saw hot coals laid and fish laid thereon, and bread. ¹⁰ Jesus said unto them, "Bring of the fishes which ye have now caught." ¹¹ Simon Peter stepped forth and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty three. And for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. ¹² Jesus said unto them, "Come and dine." And none of the disciples durst ask him, "What art thou?" For they knew that it was the Lord. ¹³ Jesus then came and took bread, and gave them, and fish likewise. ¹⁴ And this is now the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples, after that he was risen again from death. ¹⁵ When they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon the son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" He said unto him, "Yea Lord, thou knowest, that I love thee." He said unto him, "Feed my lambs." ¹⁶ He said to him again the second time, "Simon the son of Jonas, lovest thou me?"

Follow thou me." ²³ Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die.

Or naked and clothed thee? ³⁹ Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison and came unto thee?' ⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.' ⁴¹ Then shall the King say unto them that shall be on the left hand, 'Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire, which is prepared for the devil and his angels. ⁴² For I was a hungered, and ye gave me no meat.

⁴² Jesus said unto them, "If God were your father, then would ye have loved me. For I proceeded forth and come from God. Neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

¹⁵ "If ye love me, keep my commandments, ¹⁶ and I will pray the father: and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you ever, ¹⁷ which is the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive; because the world seeth him not, neither knoweth him.

And the words which ye hear are not mine, but the father's, which sent me.

²⁷ For the father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

⁷ Then said the disciple whom Jesus loved unto Peter, "It is the Lord." When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded his mantle to him, for he was naked, and sprang into the sea.

¹² Jesus said unto them, "Come and dine." And none of the disciples durst ask him, "What art thou?" For they knew that it was the Lord.

¹⁶ He said to him again the second time, "Simon the son of Jonas, lovest thou me?" He said unto him, "Yea Lord thou knowest that I love thee."

And Peter sorrowed because he said to him the third time, "Lovest thou me," and said unto him, "Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee." Jesus said unto him, "Feed my sheep.

¹¹ And so through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish for whom Christ died.

²¹ The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand: ²² If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, the same be anathema. Maranatha.

⁶ For in Jesus Christ, neither is circumcision anything worth, neither yet uncircumcision: but faith, which by love is mighty in operation.

¹⁴ That we henceforth be no more children, wavering and carried with every wind of doctrine, by the wiliness of men and craftiness, whereby they lay a wait for us to deceive us.

³ Then put he forth this similitude to them, saying, ⁴ "What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them doth not leave ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find him? ⁵ And when he hath found him, he putteth him on his shoulders with joy: ⁶ And as soon as he cometh home he calleth together his lovers, and neighbours saying unto them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.' ⁷ I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

¹⁰ For the son of man is come to seek, and to save that which was lost."

¹¹ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. ¹² An hired servant which is not the shepherd, neither the sheep are his own, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flyeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. ¹³ The hired servant flyeth because he is a hired servant, and careth not for the sheep. ¹⁴ I am that good shepherd, and know mine, and am known of mine. ¹⁵ As my father knoweth me: even so know I my father. And I give my life for the sheep, ¹⁶ and other sheep I have, which are not of this fold. Them also must I bring, that they may hear my voice. And that there may be one flock, and one shepherd.

²⁶ but ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. As I said unto you, ²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

¹⁷ Then said the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, "Art not thou one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."

²⁵ Simon Peter stood and warmed himself, and they said unto him, "Art not thou also one of his disciples?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."

² see that ye feed Christ's flock, which is among you, taking the oversight of them: not as though ye were compelled thereto, but willingly; Not for the desire of filthy lucre, but of a good mind.

¹⁷ For the lamb which is in the midst of the seat, shall feed them, and shall lead them unto fountains of living water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

²² "The mighty God Jehovah, he knoweth, and Israel shall know if; it be to rebel or transgress against the LORD, then the LORD save us not this day.

¹⁸ Then said she unto Elijah, "What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? Art thou come unto me, that my sin should be thought on and my son slain?"

¹⁷ I know my God, that thou provest the heart and hast pleasure in plainness. And in plainness of mine heart I have willingly given all this. And now I see thy people, which are here in gladness to offer willingly to thee.

⁴ Doth not he see my ways, and tell all my goings? ⁵ If I have cleaved unto vanity, or if my feet have run to deceive, ⁶ let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may see my innocence.

⁸ The LORD shall judge the people; give sentence with me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to the innocence that is in me. ⁹ O let the wickedness of the ungodly come to an end; but guide thou the just. For the righteous God trieth the very hearts and reins.

³ Thou hast proved and visited mine heart in the night season; thou hast tried me, and shalt find no wickedness in me, for I am utterly purposed that my mouth shall not offend.

¹⁰ "Even I the LORD search out the ground of the heart, and try the reins, and reward every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his counsels."

³³ For he doth not plague, and cast out the children of men from his heart.

⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.'

⁷³ And after a while, came unto him they that stood by, and said unto Peter, "Surely thou art even one of them, for thy speech betrayeth thee." ⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, which he said unto him, "Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice": and went out at the doors and wept bitterly.

⁷² And again the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said unto him. "Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice," and began to weep.

⁶¹ And the Lord turned back and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the words of the Lord, how he said unto him, "Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice." ⁶² And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

²⁴ but Jesus put not himself in their hands, because he knew all men, ²⁵ and needed not that any man should testify of him. For he knew what was in man.

⁸ The poor always shall ye have with you, but me shall ye not always have."

³⁸ Jesus answered him, "Wilt thou give thy life for my sake? Verily, verily I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou have denied me thrice."

¹⁵ "If ye love me, keep my commandments,

¹⁰ If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love: even as I have kept my father's commandments, and abide in his love.

³⁰ Now know we that thou understandest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee any question. Therefore believe we that thou camest from God."

⁴ Then Jesus, knowing all things that should come on him, went forth and said unto them, "Whom seek ye?"

²⁷ Peter denied it again: and immediately the cock crew.

¹⁵ When they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon the son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" He said unto him, "Yea Lord, thou knowest, that I love thee." He said unto him, "Feed my lambs." ¹⁶ He said to him again the second time, "Simon the son of Jonas, lovest thou me?" He said unto him, "Yea Lord thou knowest that I love thee." He said unto him, "Feed my sheep."

²⁴ And they prayed, saying, "Thou Lord which knowest the hearts of all men, show whether thou hast chosen of these two,

⁸ And God which knoweth the heart, bare them witness, and gave unto them the holy ghost, even as he did unto us;

¹² Our rejoicing is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in singleness of heart and with godly pureness — and not in fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God — we have had our conversation in the world, and most of all to you-wards.

⁴ For in great affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears: not to make you sorry, but that ye might perceive the love which I have most specially unto you. ⁵ If any man hath caused sorrow, the same hath not made me sorry: but partly — lest I should grieve — you all. ⁶ It is sufficient unto the same man that he was rebuked of many. ⁷ So that now contrariwise ye ought to forgive him and comfort him: lest that same person should be swallowed up with overmuch heaviness.

⁸ Wherefore though I made you sorry with a letter I repent not: though I did repent. For I perceive that that same Epistle made you sorry though it were but for a season. ⁹ But I now rejoice, not that ye were sorry, but that ye so sorrowed, that ye repented. ¹⁰ For ye sorrowed godly: so that in nothing were ye hurt by us. For godly sorrow causeth repentance, unto salvation not to be repented of: when worldly sorrow causeth death. ¹¹ Behold what diligence this godly sorrow that ye took hath wrought in you: yea it caused you to clear yourselves. It caused indignation, it caused fear, it caused desire, it caused a fervent mind, it caused punishment. For in all things ye have showed yourselves that ye were clear in that matter.

⁸ This say I not as commanding: but because others are so fervent, therefore prove I your love, whether it be perfect or no. ⁹ Ye know the liberality of our Lord Jesus Christ, which though he were rich, yet for your sakes became poor: that ye through his poverty might be made rich.

³⁰ And grieve not the holy spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

⁶ in the which time ye shall rejoice, though now for a season — if need require — ye are in heaviness, through manifold temptations,

¹² Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of such things, though that ye know them yourselves and be also established in the present truth. ¹³ Notwithstanding, I think it mete, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; ¹⁴ forasmuch as I am sure how that the time is at hand that I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me. ¹⁵ I will enforce, therefore, that on every side ye might have wherewith to stir up the remembrance of these things after my departing.

¹ This is the second epistle that I now write unto you, my dearly beloved, wherewith I stir up and warn your pure minds,

¹⁶ Hereby are we assured of love: because he left his life for us: And therefore we ought also to give our lives for our brethren. ¹⁷ He, then, that hath the substance of the world, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, nor with the tongue: but with the deed, and of a truth: ¹⁹ for thereby we know that we be of the truth, and so shall we certify our hearts in his sight. ²⁰ But if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and knoweth all things. ²¹ Dearly beloved, if our hearts condemn us not, then have we trust to God ward; ²² and whatsoever we ask, that we shall receive of him: because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave commandment. ²⁴ And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And thereby we know that there dwelleth in us of his spirit, which he gave us.

⁷ because that for his name's sake they went forth, and took nothing of the gentiles. ⁸ We therefore ought to receive such, that we also might be helpers to the truth.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be fervent therefore and repent.

²⁷ "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say, 'Father deliver me from this hour?' But therefore came I unto this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name." Then came there a voice from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."

³⁶ Simon Peter said unto him, "Lord whither goest thou?" Jesus answered him, "Whither I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me afterwards."

³ and because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further, and took Peter also. Then were the days of sweetbread. ⁴ And when he had caught him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to be kept, intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

¹¹ When he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his hands and feet and said, "Thus saith the holy ghost, 'So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.'"

⁴ For as long as we are in this tabernacle, we sigh and are grieved: for we would not be unclothed: but would be clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

²⁴ But my servant Caleb, because there is another manner spirit with him, and because he hath followed me unto the utmost: him I will bring into the land which he hath walked in, and his seed shall conquer it,

²⁰ Then said Samuel unto the people, "Fear not. And though ye have done all this wickedness, yet depart not from the LORD in any case. But serve him with all your hearts.

³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross and followeth me, is not meet for me.

²¹ From that time forth, Jesus began to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the high priests, and of the scribes; and must be killed, and rise again the third day. ²² But Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him saying, "Master, favor thyself, this shall not come unto thee." ²³ Then turned he about, and said unto Peter, "Come after me, Satan: thou offendest me, because thou savourest not Godly things, but worldly things." ²⁴ Jesus then said to his disciples. "If any man will follow me, let him forsake himself, and take up his cross and follow me. ²⁵ For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it. And whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

²⁸ Jesus said unto them, "Verily I say to you, When the son of man shall sit in the seat of his majesty, ye which follow me in the second generation shall sit also upon twelve seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

³³ Then he turned about, and looked on his disciples, and rebuked Peter saying, "Go after me Satan. For thou savourest not the things of God but the things of men." ³⁴ And he called the people unto him, with his disciples also, and said unto them, "Whosoever will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ³⁵ For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. ³⁶ What shall it profit a man, if he should win all the world and lose his own soul? ³⁷ Or else, what shall a man give, to redeem his soul again? ³⁸ Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words, among this adulterous and sinful generation: of him shall the son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his father with the holy angels."

²² saying that the son of man must suffer many things, and be reproved of the elders, and of the high priests and scribes, and be slain, and the third day rise again. ²³ And he said to them all, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross on him daily, and follow me. ²⁴ Whosoever will save his life, shall lose it. And whosoever shall lose his life, for my sake, the same shall save it. ²⁵ For what shall it advantage a man, to win the whole world, if he lose himself: or run in damage of himself? ²⁶ For whosoever is ashamed of me, and of my sayings: of him shall the son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and in the glory of his father, and of the holy angels.

²⁶ If any man minister unto me, let him follow me: and where I am, there shall also my minister be. And if any man minister unto me, him will my father honour.

³³ This said Jesus signifying what death he should die.

³⁶ Simon Peter said unto him, "Lord whither goest thou?" Jesus answered him, "Whither I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me afterwards." ³⁷ Peter said unto him, "Lord why cannot I follow thee now? I will give my life for thy sake."

³² That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

²² Jesus said unto him, "If I will have him to tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me."

²⁰ as I heartily look for and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed: but that with all confidence, as always in times past, even so now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be through life, or else death.

¹¹ If any man speak, let him talk as though he spake the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God ministereth unto him. That God, in all things, may be glorified through Jesus Christ: to whom be praise and dominion forever and while the world standeth. Amen. ¹² Dearly beloved, be not troubled in this heat, which now is come among you to try you, as though some strange thing had happened unto you: ¹³ but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's passions, that when his glory appeareth, ye may be merry and glad. ¹⁴ If ye be railed upon for the name of Christ; happy are ye. For the spirit of glory and the spirit of God resteth upon you. On their part he is evil spoken of: but on your part he is glorified.

¹⁴ forasmuch as I am sure how that the time is at hand that I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me.

²³ There was one of his disciples which leaned on Jesus' bosom, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ To him beckoned Simon Peter that he should ask who it was of whom he spake. ²⁵ He then, as he leaned on Jesus' breast, said unto him, "Lord who is it?" ²⁶ Jesus answered, "He it is to whom I give a sop, when I have dipped it." And he wet a sop, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.

³ And as he sat upon the mount Olivet, his disciples came unto him secretly, saying, "Tell us, when these things shall be: and what sign shall be of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" ⁴ And Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Take heed that no man deceive you;

²³ Then said one unto him, "Lord, are there few that shall be saved?" And he said unto them, ²⁴ "Strive with yourselves to enter in at the strait gate: For many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

⁶ When they were come together, they asked of him, saying, "Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" ⁷ And he said unto them, "It is not for you to know the times, or the seasons which the father hath put in his own power:

²⁷ For the son of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his angels, and then shall he reward every man according to his deeds. ²⁸ Verily I say unto you, some there be among them that here stand, which shall not taste of death, till they shall have seen the son of man come in his kingdom."

³ And as he sat upon the mount Olivet, his disciples came unto him secretly, saying, "Tell us, when these things shall be: and what sign shall be of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"

²⁷ For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth unto the west: so shall the coming of the son of man be.

⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also ready, for in the hour ye think least on, in the same ye think he would not: will the son of man come.

³¹ "When the son of man shall cometh in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his glory

¹ And he said unto them, "Verily I say unto you: There be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power."

¹⁹ That spake he signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had said thus, he said to him, "Follow me."

⁵ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness: and open the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God.

²⁶ For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye shall show the Lord's death, till he come.

⁷ Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience there upon, until he receive the early and the latter rain.

⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him: and they also which pierced him. And all kindreds of the earth shall wail. Even so, amen.

²⁵ but that which you have already. Hold fast till I come,

¹¹ Behold, I come shortly. Hold that which thou hast, that no man take away thy crown.

⁷ Behold, I come shortly." Happy is he that keepeth the saying of the prophecy of this book.

²⁰ He which testifieth these things saith, "Be it. I come quickly, Amen." Even so, come Lord Jesus.

²⁹ The secrets pertain unto the LORD our God and the things that are opened pertain unto us and our children forever, that we do all the words of this law.

²⁸ And unto man he said, 'Behold, to fear the LORD is wisdom: and to forsake evil, is understanding.'"

¹³ Why dost thou then strive against him? Because he giveth thee no accounts of all his doings?

³⁵ in comparison of whom, all they that dwell upon the earth are to be reputed as nothing. He handleth according to his will, among the powers of heaven and among the inhabiters of the earth - and there is none that may resist his hand, or say, 'What doest thou?'

¹⁵ And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples and said — the number of names that were together, were about a hundred and twenty -

²⁷ And ye shall bear witness also, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

³⁵ And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true. And he knoweth that he saith true that ye might believe also.

¹ That which was from the beginning, declare we unto you; which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life. ² For the life appeared: and we have seen, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the father, and appeared unto us.

⁶ This Jesus Christ is he that came by water and blood, not by water only: but by water and blood.

¹² Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth. Yea and we ourselves also bear record, and ye know that our record is true.

¹⁴ This is now a short sum of his doings. But who is able sufficiently to rehearse his works? Who can perceive and understand the thunder of his power?"

⁵ O LORD my God, great are the wondrous works which thou hast done, like as be also thy thoughts, which are to us-ward; and yet there is no man that ordereth them unto thee. If I should declare them, and speak of them, they should be more than I am able to express.

¹⁵ My mouth shall speak daily of thy righteousness and salvation; for I know no end thereof.

¹² Therefore beware, my son, that above these thou make them not many and innumerable books, nor take divers doctrines in hand, to weary thy body withal.

¹⁰ Upon this sent Amaziah the priest to Bethel unto Jeroboam the king of Israel, saying, "Amos maketh the house of Israel to rebel against thee; the land cannot away with his words.

⁵ The blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are risen again, and the glad tidings is preached to the poor.

²⁴ And moreover I say unto you: it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

³⁰ And many other signs did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. ³¹ These are written that ye might believe that Jesus is Christ the son of God. And that ye in believing ye might have life through his name.

³⁸ How God had anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy ghost, and with power; which Jesus went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devils, for God was with him.

³⁵ I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to receive the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how that he said, 'It is more blessed to give, than to receive.'"

³² And what shall I more say? The time would be too short for me to tell of Gideon, of Barach, and of Samson, and of Jephthah. Also of David and Samuel, and of the prophets,
