¹ After these things did Jesus manifest himself again to the disciples on the sea of Tiberias, and he did manifest himself thus: ² There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. ³ Simon Peter saith to them, `I go away to fish;' they say to him, `We go—we also—with thee;' they went forth and entered into the boat immediately, and on that night they caught nothing. ⁴ And morning being now come, Jesus stood at the shore, yet indeed the disciples did not know that it is Jesus; ⁵ Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `Lads, have ye any meat?' <sup>6</sup> they answered him, `No;' and he said to them, `Cast the net at the right side of the boat, and ye shall find;' they cast, therefore, and no longer were they able to draw it, from the multitude of the fishes. <sup>7</sup> That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving saith to Peter, `The Lord it is!' Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the Lord, did gird on the outer coat, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea; ⁸ and the other disciples came by the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but as it were about two hundred cubits off, dragging the net of the fishes; ⁹ when, therefore, they came to the land, they behold a fire of coals lying, and a fish lying on it, and bread. ¹⁰ Jesus saith to them, `Bring ye from the fishes that ye caught now;' <sup>11</sup> Simon Peter went up, and drew the net up on the land, full of great fishes, an hundred fifty and three, and though they were so many, the net was not rent. <sup>12</sup> Jesus saith to them, `Come ye, dine;' and none of the disciples was venturing to inquire of him, `Who art thou?' knowing that it is the Lord; <sup>13</sup> Jesus, therefore, doth come and take the bread and give to them, and the fish in like manner; <sup>14</sup> this is now a third time Jesus was manifested to his disciples, having been raised from the dead.
<sup>15</sup> When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, `Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Feed my lambs.' ¹⁶ He saith to him again, a second time, `Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Tend my sheep.' <sup>17</sup> He saith to him the third time, `Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, `Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, `Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, `Feed my sheep; <sup>18</sup> verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast younger, thou wast girding thyself and wast walking whither thou didst will, but when thou mayest be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and shall carry thee whither thou dost not will;' <sup>19</sup> and this he said, signifying by what death he shall glorify God; and having said this, he saith to him, `Be following me.'
²⁰ And Peter having turned about doth see the disciple whom Jesus was loving following, (who also reclined in the supper on his breast, and said, `Sir, who is he who is delivering thee up?') <sup>21</sup> Peter having seen this one, saith to Jesus, `Lord, and what of this one?' ²² Jesus saith to him, `If him I will to remain till I come, what—to thee? be thou following me.' This word, therefore, went forth to the brethren that that disciple doth not die, <sup>23</sup> yet Jesus did not say to him, that he doth not die, but, `If him I will to remain till I come, what—to thee?' ²⁴ this is the disciple who is testifying concerning these things, and he wrote these things, and we have known that his testimony is true. ²⁵ And there are also many other things—as many as Jesus did—which, if they may be written one by one, not even the world itself I think to have place for the books written. Amen.

⁷ For He is our God, and we the people of His pasture, And the flock of His hand, To-day, if to His voice ye hearken,

³ Know that Jehovah He is God, He made us, and we are His, His people—and the flock of His pasture.

⁷ Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero—My fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones.

⁶ And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee shall come one leading, who shall feed My people Israel.'

³² and gathered together before him shall be all the nations, and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd doth separate the sheep from the goats,

⁷² and again did he deny with an oath—`I have not known the man.'

³ And he spake unto them this simile, saying, ⁴ `What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, doth not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, till he may find it? <sup>5</sup> and having found, he doth lay it on his shoulders rejoicing, <sup>6</sup> and having come to the house, he doth call together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep—the lost one. <sup>7</sup> `I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation.

¹⁰ for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'

¹¹ `I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep; <sup>12</sup> and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep; <sup>13</sup> and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep. <sup>14</sup> `I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine, ¹⁵ according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep, ¹⁶ and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock—one shepherd.

²⁶ but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, ²⁷ according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

¹⁷ Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, `I am not;'

²⁵ And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, `Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied, and said, `I am not.'

² feed the flock of God that is among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind,

¹⁷ because the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and wipe away shall God every tear from their eyes.'

²² `The God of gods—Jehovah, the God of gods—Jehovah, He is knowing, and Israel, he doth know, if in rebellion, and if in trespass against Jehovah (Thou dost not save us this day!)

¹⁸ And she saith unto Elijah, `What—to me and to thee, O man of God? thou hast come unto me to cause mine iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!'

¹⁷ `And I have known, my God, that Thou art trying the heart, and uprightness dost desire; I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these: and now, Thy people who are found here I have seen with joy to offer willingly to Thee.

⁴ Doth not He see my ways, And all my steps number? ⁵ If I have walked with vanity, And my foot doth hasten to deceit, ⁶ He doth weigh me in righteous balances, And God doth know my integrity.

⁸ Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me, ⁹ Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

³ Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.

¹⁰ I Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.

³³ For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He grieve the sons of men.

⁴⁰ `And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brethren—the least—to me ye did it .

⁷³ And after a little those standing near having come, said to Peter, `Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech doth make thee manifest.' <sup>74</sup> Then began he to anathematise, and to swear—`I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow, ⁷⁵ and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him—`Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.

⁷² and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him—`Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;' and having thought thereon—he was weeping.

⁶¹ And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him—`Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;' ⁶² and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.

²⁴ and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all men, ²⁵ and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.

⁸ for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'

³⁸ Jesus answered him, `Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'

¹⁵ `If ye love me, my commands keep,

¹⁰ if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

³⁰ now we have known that thou hast known all things, and hast no need that any one do question thee; in this we believe that from God thou didst come forth.'

⁴ Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?'

²⁷ again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.

¹⁵ When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, `Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Feed my lambs.' <sup>16</sup> He saith to him again, a second time, `Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Tend my sheep.'

²⁴ and having prayed, they said, `Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two

⁸ and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,

¹² For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

⁴ for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.
⁵ And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all; ⁶ sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that is by the more part, ⁷ so that, on the contrary, it is rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;

⁸ because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not repent—if even I did repent—for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, did make you sorry. ⁹ I now do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry to reformation, for ye were made sorry toward God, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us; ¹⁰ for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death, ¹¹ for, lo, this same thing—your being made sorry toward God—how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.

⁸ not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness, ⁹ for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor—being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

³⁰ and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.

⁶ in which ye are glad, a little now, if it be necessary, being made to sorrow in manifold trials,

¹² Wherefore, I will not be careless always to remind you concerning these things, though, having known them, and having been established in the present truth, ¹³ and I think right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up in reminding you, ¹⁴ having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me, ¹⁵ and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have, after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance of these things.

¹ This, now, beloved, a second letter to you I write, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding you,

¹⁶ in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down; ¹⁷ and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him—how doth the love of God remain in him? ¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth! ¹⁹ and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,
²⁰ because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God, ²² and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,
²³ and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us, ²⁴ and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain, and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.

⁷ because for His name they went forth, nothing receiving from the nations; ⁸ we, then, ought to receive such, that fellow-workers we may become to the truth.

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

²⁷ `Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say—Father, save me from this hour? —but because of this I came to this hour; <sup>28</sup> Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, `I both glorified, and again I will glorify it;'

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

³ and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also—and they were the days of the unleavened food— ⁴ whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.

¹¹ and he having come unto us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having bound also his own hands and feet, said, `Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle—so shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they shall deliver him up to the hands of nations.'

⁴ for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life.

²⁴ and My servant Caleb, because there hath been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me—I have brought him in unto the land whither he hath entered, and his seed doth possess it.

²⁰ And Samuel saith unto the people, `Fear not; ye have done all this evil; only, turn not aside from after Jehovah—and ye have served Jehovah with all your heart,

³⁸ and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

²¹ From that time began Jesus to shew to his disciples that it is necessary for him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise. ²² And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, `Be kind to thyself, sir; this shall not be to thee;' <sup>23</sup> and he having turned, said to Peter, `Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'
²⁴ Then said Jesus to his disciples, `If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me, ²⁵ for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake shall find it,

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, `Verily I say to you, that ye who did follow me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit upon a throne of his glory, shall sit—ye also—upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel;

³³ and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, `Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.' <sup>34</sup> And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, `Whoever doth will to come after me—let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me; ³⁵ for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it; ³⁶ for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? ³⁷ Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life? ³⁸ for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.'

²² saying—`It behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised.' <sup>23</sup> And he said unto all, `If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me; ²⁴ for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake, he shall save it; ²⁵ for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself? ²⁶ `For whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, of this one shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he may come in his glory, and the Father's, and the holy messengers';

²⁶ if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me—honour him will the Father.

³³ And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.' ³⁷ Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

³² that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

²² Jesus saith to him, `If him I will to remain till I come, what—to thee? be thou following me.' This word, therefore, went forth to the brethren that that disciple doth not die,

²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,

¹¹ if any one doth speak—`as oracles of God;' if any one doth minister—`as of the ability which God doth supply;' that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power—to the ages of the ages. Amen.
¹² Beloved, think it not strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you, ¹³ but, according as ye have fellowship with the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice ye, that also in the revelation of his glory ye may rejoice—exulting; ¹⁴ if ye be reproached in the name of Christ—happy are ye, because the Spirit of glory and of God upon you doth rest; in regard, indeed, to them, he is evil-spoken of, and in regard to you, he is glorified;

¹⁴ having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me,

²³ And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving; ²⁴ Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh, ²⁵ and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, `Sir, who is it?' <sup>26</sup> Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth it to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

³ And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what is the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?'
<sup>4</sup> And Jesus answering said to them, `Take heed that no one may lead you astray,

²³ and a certain one said to him, `Sir, are those saved few?' and he said unto them, <sup>24</sup> `Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall not be able;

⁶ They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, `Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?' <sup>7</sup> and he said unto them, `It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority;

²⁷ `For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work. ²⁸ Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of Man coming in his reign.'

³ And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what is the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?'

²⁷ for as the lightning doth come forth from the east, and doth appear unto the west, so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;

⁴⁴ because of this also ye, become ye ready, because in what hour ye do not think, the Son of Man doth come.

³¹ `And whenever the Son of Man may come in his glory, and all the holy messengers with him, then he shall sit upon a throne of his glory;

¹ And he said to them, `Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.'

¹⁹ and this he said, signifying by what death he shall glorify God; and having said this, he saith to him, `Be following me.'

⁵ so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

²⁶ for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth—till he may come;

⁷ Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain—early and latter;

⁷ Lo, he doth come with the clouds, and see him shall every eye, even those who did pierce him, and wail because of him shall all the tribes of the land. Yes! Amen!

²⁵ but that which ye have—hold ye, till I may come;

¹¹ Lo, I come quickly, be holding fast that which thou hast, that no one may receive thy crown.

⁷ Lo, I come quickly; happy is he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.'

²⁰ he saith—who is testifying these things—`Yes, I come quickly!' Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!

²⁹ `The things hidden are to Jehovah our God, and the things revealed are to us and to our sons—to the age, to do all the words of this law.

²⁸ And He saith to man: —`Lo, fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to turn from evil is understanding.'

¹³ Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When for all His matters He answereth not?

³⁵ and all who are dwelling on the earth as nothing are reckoned, and according to his will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that doth clap with his hand, and saith to Him, What hast Thou done?

¹⁵ And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said, (the multitude also of the names at the same place was, as it were, an hundred and twenty,)

²⁷ and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.

³⁵ and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the Life— ² and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us—

⁶ This one is he who did come through water and blood—Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,

¹² to Demetrius testimony hath been given by all, and by the truth itself, and we also—we do testify, and ye have known that our testimony is true.

¹⁴ Lo, these are the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?

⁵ Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

¹⁵ My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.

¹² And further, from these, my son, be warned; the making of many books hath no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

¹⁰ And Amaziah priest of Beth-El sendeth unto Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, `Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words,

⁵ blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,

²⁴ and again I say to you, it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to go, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.'

³⁰ Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before his disciples, that are not written in this book; ³¹ and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'

³⁸ Jesus who is from Nazareth—how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him;

³⁵ all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth us to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

³² And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,
