¹ AFTER these Jeshu again showed himself to his disciples at the sea of Tiberios; and he showed (himself) thus. ² There were together Shemun Kipha, and Thoma who was called the Twin, and Nathanael, he who was of Kotna of Galila, and the sons of Zabdai, and two other of the disciples. ³ Shemun Kipha saith to them, I go to net fishes.

And they went forth and ascended into a vessel; and through that night they netted nothing. ⁴ But when it was morning Jeshu stood on the sea shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jeshu. ⁵ And Jeshu said to them, Children, have you any thing to eat? They say to him, No. ⁶ He saith to them, Cast your net on the right side of the vessel, and you shall find. And they cast (it), and could not draw the net for the multitude of fishes which it held. ⁷ And that disciple whom Jeshu loved said to Kipha, This is our Lord. But Shemun, when he heard that it was our Lord, took his tunic, and threw it over his loins, for he was naked, and cast himself into the sea to come to Jeshu. ⁸ But the other disciples came in the vessel, for they were not far from the land, but as two hundred ameen, and they drew that net of fishes. ⁹ Then when they had ascended the land, they saw coals laid, and fish laid upon them, and bread. ¹⁰ And Jeshu said, Bring of the fish which you have now caught. ¹¹ And Shemun Kipha went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: yet for all this weight that net was not broken. ¹² And Jeshu said to them, Come, dine.

Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁸ Amen, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou didst gird thy loins and walk whithersoever thou willedst; but when thou art old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another will bind thy loins, and conduct thee whither thou willest not. ¹⁹ But this he said, to show by what death he was to glorify Aloha. And when he had said these, he said to him, Come after me. ²⁰ AND Shemun turned, and saw the disciple whom Jeshu loved following; he, who leaned at the supper upon the bosom of Jeshu, and said, My Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee? ²¹ This when Kipha saw, he said to Jeshu, My Lord, and this, what? ²² Jeshu saith to him, If I will that this wait until I come, what (is that) to thee? Come thou after me. ²³ And that word went forth among the brethren, that that disciple dieth not.

³⁷ Shemun Kipha saith to him, My Lord, why cannot I come after thee now? My life for thee lay I down. ³⁸ Jeshu saith to him, Dost thou lay down thy life for me! Amen, amen, I tell thee, That the cock will not crow, until thou shalt have denied me three times.

¹⁵ IF you love me, keep my commandments;

¹⁵ IF you love me, keep my commandments; ¹⁶ and I will pray of my Father, and another Paraclete [Paraklito.] will he give you, who will be with you for ever, ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, he whom the world cannot receive, because it doth not see him, nor know him. But you know him; for with you he dwelleth, and in you is. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans; for I will come to you ¹⁹ a little after. And the world seeth me not, but you shall see me; for because I live, you also shall live. ²⁰ In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. ²¹ He who hath my commandments and keepeth them is he who loveth me; and he who loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest to him myself. ²² Jihuda saith to him, (it was not Scarjuta,) My Lord, how to us wilt thou manifest thyself, and not to the world? ²³ Jeshu replied, and said to him, He who loveth me, my word keepeth, and my Father will love him, and unto him we come, and a dwelling-place [A mansion.] with him we make. ²⁴ But he who loveth me not, keepeth not my word. And the word that you hear is not mine, but of the Father who sent me.

¹⁰ If my commandments you will keep, you shall abide in my love; as I have kept the commandments of my Father, and abide in his love.

²⁷ You also testify, because from the beginning are you with me.

¹⁹ But Jeshu knew that they sought to ask him; and he said to them, Concerning this do you inquire together that I told you, A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little, and you shall see me?

²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that from the Father I came forth.

³⁰ Now know we that every thing thou knowest, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that from Aloha thou hast come forth.

⁴ But Jeshu, who knew every thing that should come upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek you?

¹⁷ But the damsel keeping the door said to Shemun, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He saith to her, No. ¹⁸ And the servants and officials were standing, and they had set a fire to warm them, because it was cold; and Shemun stood also with them and warmed himself.

²⁵ And Shemun Kipha stood and warmed (himself), and they say to him, Thou art also one of his disciples? And he denied and said, I am not.

²⁷ And again Shemun denied. And in the same hour the cock crowed.

³² That the word that Jeshu spake might be accomplished, when he declared by what death he should die.

²⁶ Jeshu seeth his mother, and that disciple whom he loved, standing; and he said to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! [Athto, ho barek.]

³⁵ And he who SAW testifieth, and the truth is his testimony; and he knoweth that the truth he hath said, that you also may believe.

² And she ran, and came to Shemun Kipha, and to that other disciple, whom Jeshu loved, saying to them, They have taken away our Lord from that house of burial, and I know not where they have laid him.

¹⁴ This said she, and turned herself back, and saw Jeshu standing, and knew not that it was Jeshu.

¹⁹ WHEN it was the evening of that day which (was) the first in the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jihudoyee, came Jeshu, stood among them, and said to them, Peace (be) with you. [Shalomo amkun.]

¹⁹ WHEN it was the evening of that day which (was) the first in the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jihudoyee, came Jeshu, stood among them, and said to them, Peace (be) with you. [Shalomo amkun.] ²⁰ This he said, and showed them his hands and his side. And the disciples rejoiced when they saw our Lord.

²⁰ This he said, and showed them his hands and his side. And the disciples rejoiced when they saw our Lord. ²¹ Then said Jeshu unto them, Peace (be) with you: as my Father sent me, I also send you. ²² And when he had said these, he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Spirit of Holiness: [Kabélu Rucho da-Kudsho.] ²³ if you forgive sins to a man, they shall be forgiven to him; and if you retain (the sins) of a man, they are retained. ²⁴ But Thoma, one of the twelve, he who was called the Twin, was not there with them when Jeshu came. ²⁵ And the disciples say to him, We have seen our Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the places of the nails, and put into them my fingers, and extend my hand into his side, I believe not. ²⁶ AND after eight days again within were the disciples, and Thoma with them. And Jeshu came, while the doors were shut, stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace (be) with you.

²⁶ AND after eight days again within were the disciples, and Thoma with them. And Jeshu came, while the doors were shut, stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace (be) with you. ²⁷ And he said to Thoma, Bring thy finger hither and see my hands, and bring thy hand and thrust it into my side, and be not unbelieving but believing. ²⁸ And Thoma answered and said to him, My Lord, and my God! [Mari Valohi.]

²⁸ And Thoma answered and said to him, My Lord, and my God! [Mari Valohi.] ²⁹ Jeshu saith to him, Now that thou hast seen, thou hast believed: blessed are they who have not seen me, and have believed. ³⁰ But many other signs did Jeshu before his disciples: those are not written in this record; ³¹ but these are written, that you may believe that Jeshu is the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha, and that when you have believed you may have in his name the life which is eternal.

⁷ And that disciple whom Jeshu loved said to Kipha, This is our Lord. But Shemun, when he heard that it was our Lord, took his tunic, and threw it over his loins, for he was naked, and cast himself into the sea to come to Jeshu.

⁹ Then when they had ascended the land, they saw coals laid, and fish laid upon them, and bread. ¹⁰ And Jeshu said, Bring of the fish which you have now caught.

¹² And Jeshu said to them, Come, dine. But one of the disciples did not dare to ask him, Who is he? for they knew that it was our Lord. ¹³ And Jeshu drew near, and took bread, and fish, and gave to them. ¹⁴ This is the third time that Jeshu was seen by his disciples when he had risen from among the dead. ¹⁵ WHEN they had dined, Jeshu said to Shemun Kipha, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my lambs.

¹⁵ WHEN they had dined, Jeshu said to Shemun Kipha, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He saith to him again the second time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁶ He saith to him again the second time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁷ Jeshu saith to him again the third time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? And it grieved Kipha that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, My Lord, all things thou understandest, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁹ But this he said, to show by what death he was to glorify Aloha. And when he had said these, he said to him, Come after me. ²⁰ AND Shemun turned, and saw the disciple whom Jeshu loved following; he, who leaned at the supper upon the bosom of Jeshu, and said, My Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?

²² Jeshu saith to him, If I will that this wait until I come, what (is that) to thee? Come thou after me.

²⁴ This is the disciple who hath testified of all these, and hath also written them: and we know that the truth is his testimony.

⁶ But they when assembled asked him, and said to him, Our Lord, at this time wilt thou restore [Or, return.] the kingdom to Israel? ⁷ He saith to them, This is not yours to know the time or the times which the Father hath reposed in his own authority:

¹⁵ AND in those days arose Shemun Kipha in the midst of the disciples; - now there was there an assembly of men as an hundred and twenty; - and said,

²⁴ And praying, they said, Thou, Lord, (who) knowest the hearts of all, show the one whom thou choosest of these two,

³⁶ Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know, that Lord and Meshiha hath Aloha made this Jeshu, whom you crucified.

⁴¹ And some of them eagerly received his word and believed and were baptized, and there were added in that day as three thousand souls.

⁴ And many who heard the word believed; and they were in number as five thousand men.

³⁶ For (this is) the word which he hath sent to the sons of Israel, and hath announced to them peace and repose through Jeshu Meshiha,-this is the Lord of all.

³⁸ concerning Jeshu who was of Natsrath, whom Aloha anointed with the Spirit of Holiness and with power: he who went about and healed those who were worn out with evil, because Aloha was with him.

⁴¹ yet not to all the people, but to us who by Aloha were chosen to be unto him the witnesses, who ate with him and drank after his resurrection from among the dead.

³ And when he saw that this pleased the Jihudoyee, he added to apprehend also Shemun Kipha. And they were the days of the Phatiree.[See the Gospels, page 384.] ⁴ And he apprehended him and cast him into the house of the bound, and delivered him to sixteen soldiers to keep him, that after the Petscha he might deliver him to the people of the Jihudoyee.

⁸ And Aloha, who knoweth what is in the hearts, testified of them, and gave them the Spirit of Holiness, as to us.

³ (and) because he was a son of their art, he dwelt with them and wrought with them: but in their art they were tentmakers.

²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to the whole flock over which the Spirit of Holiness hath constituted you the bishops; to pasture the church of the Meshiha which he hath purchased with his blood.

³⁴ and you know to the necessity of myself, and of those who are with me, these hands have ministered. ³⁵ And I have shown you every thing, (that) so it behoveth to labour, and to be careful of those who are infirm, and to remember the word of our Lord Jeshu, that he said, He is blessed who giveth, more than he who receiveth.

¹¹ And he came in to us, and took the loins'-girdle of Paulos, and bound his own feet and his hands, and said, Thus saith the Spirit of Holiness, So the man the master of this girdle will the Jihudoyee bind in Urishlem; and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

¹ But to him who is weak in the faith give the hand, and be not divided in your thoughts.

¹ WE then, the strong, are obligated to bear up the infirmities of the weak, and not ourselves to please.

¹ AND I, my brethren, could not speak with you as with the spiritual, but as with the carnal, and as with babes in the Meshiha. ² I have sustained you with milk,[Or, have given you milk to drink.] and have not given you meat; for as yet you could not, nor can you now, (bear it). ³ For as yet you are in the flesh. For while there are among you envy and contentions and divisions, are you not carnal, and walking in the flesh?

⁷ He then who planteth is not any thing nor he who watereth; but Aloha who maketh to increase.

⁵ Therefore, do not judge before the time, until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the thoughts of hearts. Then will there be praise to each man from Aloha.

¹¹ and he will perish through thy knowledge? he who is weak, and on account of whom the Meshiha died.

⁶ Or have I only, and Bar Naba, not authority to forbear from labour?

²⁶ For whensoever you eat this bread, and drink this cup, the death of our Lord you commemorate until his advent.

⁴⁷ The first man who is of the earth is dust, the second man the Lord from heaven.

²¹ Peace, by the writing of my hand, of PAULOS. ²² Whosoever loveth not our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, let him be accursed. Our Lord cometh.

¹² For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and purity, and by the grace of Aloha, we are conversant in the world; and not with the wisdom of the flesh, and especially with you yourselves.

⁴ And from great affliction and anxiety of heart I wrote those things to you with many tears, not that you might grieve, but (also) that you might know the abundant love I have towards you. ⁵ But if any one hath caused grief, he hath not grieved me (only), but a part of you all: that the word may not weigh upon [the whole of] you. ⁶ But sufficient for him was this chastisement, which was from many. ⁷ And now on the other hand it behoves you to forgive him and console him, lest he who is such an one be swallowed up of excessive grief.

⁴ For now while we are in this house, we groan from the weight of it: yet are we not willing to cast it off, but to be clothed upon of it, that its mortality might be swallowed up in life.

¹⁴ For the love of the Meshiha constraineth us, because we judge this, That if one for every man hath died, then (was) every man dead.

¹⁴ For the love of the Meshiha constraineth us, because we judge this, That if one for every man hath died, then (was) every man dead. ¹⁵ And for every man he died, that they who live should not live to themselves, but to him who on their behalf died and arose.

⁸ For though I grieved you in an epistle, I repent me not, though I did repent. For I perceive how that epistle, though for an hour, did make you sorry; ⁹ but now I exercise joy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow hath brought you to repentance. For you were sorry towards Aloha; so that in nothing will you suffer loss from us. ¹⁰ For the sorrow that is for the sake of Aloha worketh soul-penitence,* which turneth not and converteth, unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death. [* Animae conversionem operatur. SCHAFF, as also TREMELLIUS. The Paris Polyglot and WALTON have paenitentiam animae effecit; and the Antwerp, Paenitentem animam effecit.] ¹¹ For, behold, (in) this very (case) that you were made contrite for the sake of Aloha; what carefulness it wrought in you, and vindication, and displeasure, and fear, and love, and zeal, and punishment! And [thus] by every thing have you shown yourselves to be [now] pure in this matter.

⁸ Not as though commanding I command you, but, from the diligence of your companions, the truth of your love would I put to the test. ⁹ FOR you know the beneficence of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that for your sake he became poor, though he was rich, that you through his poverty might be enriched.

⁶ For, in the Meshiha Jeshu, circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which is made perfect by love.

¹⁴ and that we be no [more] children, agitated and altered by every wind [Or, spirit.] of fraudulent doctrines of men, which in their craftiness they fabricate deceptively in order to seduce,

³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of Aloha, by whom you have been sealed unto the day of redemption.

²⁴ Grace be with all them who love our Lord Jeshu Meshiha incorruptibly. Amen.

²⁰ even as I hope and expect, that in nothing I shall be confounded, but manifestly, as at all times, so also now, the Meshiha shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

¹¹ But I have not spoken because I have had need; for I have learned to make sufficient to me that which I have had. ¹² I know (how) to be abased, I know also how to abound in all; and in every thing I am trained with sufficiency and with hunger, with abundance and with destitution [to be satisfied]: ¹³ for every thing I am empowered through the Meshiha who strengtheneth me.

¹⁹ And my God shall supply all your necessity, according to his riches in the glory of Jeshu Meshiha.

⁹ Remember, therefore, my brethren, how we laboured and toiled in the work of our hands by night and by day, that we might not be a burden on one of you.

⁷ For you know how it behoveth to imitate us who walked not wickedly among you. ⁸ Neither did we eat bread for nothing from any one of you; but with labour and weariness by night and by day we wrought, that upon no one of you we might be burdensome. ⁹ Not because we had not power, but because in ourselves we would give you an example, that you may imitate us.

¹⁵ In these meditate, and in them be, that it may be known to every man that thou goest onward. ¹⁶ And take heed to thyself, and to thy doctrine, and persevere in them; for while these thou doest, thyself wilt thou save, and them who hear thee.

⁶ But, as the scripture testifieth and saith, What is man, that thou rememberedst him, and the Son of man, that thou didst visit him? ⁷ Thou didst humble him (to be) less than the angels; glory and honour hast thou placed upon his head, and hast empowered him over the work of thy hands, and every thing hast thou put in subjection under his feet. ⁸ [Now] in this, that he subjected every thing to him, he hath left nothing which he hath not subjected. Yet hitherto we see not that every thing is subjected to him. ⁹ But him who was humbled to be less than the angels, we see to be JESHU himself, for the sake of the passion of his death; and glory and honour set upon his head; for He Aloha,[Hu ger Aloho.] in his grace, for every man hath tasted death!

¹³ Neither is there any creature that is concealed from before him; but every thing (is) naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom they shall give account.[D'leh yohbin pethgomo, to whom giving the answer.]

³² WHAT shall I yet say? for (too) brief is the time for me to tell of Gedhun, and of Borok, and of Shemshun, and of Nephtoch, and of David, and of Shomuel, and of the rest of the prophets;

¹² WHEREFORE your relaxed hands and your trembling knees make strong; ¹³ and right ways make for your feet, that the member which is lame may not wander, but be healed.

⁵ Let not your mind love money; but let whatever ye have suffice you: for the Lord hath said, I will not abandon thee, nor withhold from thee support.[Withhold from thee hands; that is, help, strength, &c.]

²⁰ But the God of peace, who brought up from the house of the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the eternal covenant, who is Jeshu Meshiha, our Lord,

¹ My brethren, do not hold with acceptance of faces the faith of the glory of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁷ BUT you, my brethren, prolong your spirit until the coming of the Lord; as the husbandman who expecteth the precious fruits of his lands, and prolongeth his spirit for them, until he receive the rain the early and the latter;

⁶ wherein you will rejoice for ever, though in this little time you are afflicted [Or, straitened.] by manifold temptations which pass over you;

⁸ whom you have not seen and (yet) love, and in whose faith you exult with glorious joy that is not spoken:

² and be as (new)-born babes, and be desirous of the word as of milk pure and spiritual, that by it you may increase unto life.

²⁵ who had wandered as sheep, and are returned now unto the Shepherd and Guardian [Souro, curator.] of your souls.

¹¹ Whoever shall speak, as the word of Aloha let him speak and whoever ministereth, (he shall minister) as from the power which Aloha giveth to him, that in every thing which you do Aloha may be glorified through Jeshu Meshiha, whose are the glory and honour to the age of ages. Amen. ¹² My beloved, be not amazed at the temptations which you have, as that something strange happeneth to you, because for your probation they have been; ¹³ but rejoice that you are partakers of the sufferings of the Meshiha, that so also at the revelation of his glory you may rejoice and exult. ¹⁴ And if you be reviled for the sake of the name of the Meshiha, you are happy; for the Spirit of the glory of Aloha resteth upon you.

¹ BUT I entreat of the presbyters who are among you, I, a presbyter, your companion, and a witness of the sufferings of the Meshiha, and a partaker of his glory that is to be revealed; ² feed the flock of Aloha which is delivered to you, and take care (of it) spiritually,[Vasuru ruchonoith.] not by constraint, but with the will; not for corrupt gain, but with all your heart;

² feed the flock of Aloha which is delivered to you, and take care (of it) spiritually,[Vasuru ruchonoith.] not by constraint, but with the will; not for corrupt gain, but with all your heart; ³ not as lords of the flock, but that you may be to them a goodly example; ⁴ that when the Chief of pastors [Rab Roauthö.] shall be revealed, you may receive from him a crown of glory which fadeth not.

¹² Wherefore it doth not weary me to remind you constantly of these, that you may know well, and be established upon this truth. ¹³ But I consider it right, so long as I am in this body, to stir you up in remembrance: [Bephagro hono.] ¹⁴ knowing that the decease of my body is shortly (to be,) as also our Lord Jeshu Meshiha hath made me know.

¹⁴ knowing that the decease of my body is shortly (to be,) as also our Lord Jeshu Meshiha hath made me know. ¹⁵ But be careful also that (these) you may continually have; that also after my going forth the memorial of them you may observe.

¹ Now this, my beloved, the second epistle I write to you; in both of which I awaken to remembrance your fair [Reyoncun shaphira.] mind.

¹ WE announce [Mesabrinan.] to you that which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, and seen with our eyes, have seen, and touched with our hands, that which is the Word of life. ² And the life was manifested, and we have seen, and testify, and preach to you the eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us.

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who hath been from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked. I have written to you, children,[Teloyee.] because you have known the Father.

¹⁸ My sons, it is the last time: and as you have heard, the false meshiha cometh; and now there are many false meshihas, and from this we know that it is the last time.

¹⁶ In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; (so) also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves. ¹⁷ And he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha? ¹⁸ My sons, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in works and in truth. ¹⁹ And by this we make known that we are of the truth, and before that he cometh we make confident our hearts. ²⁰ And if our heart condemn us, how much (more) Aloha, who is greater than our heart, and knoweth every thing! ²¹ My beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have openness of face before Aloha. ²² And whatever we ask, we shall receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are beautiful [Shaphirthö.] before him. ²³ And this is his commandment, That we believe in the name of his Son Jeshu Meshiha, and love one another, as he hath commanded us. ²⁴ And he who keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we perceive that he dwelleth in us, by his Spirit whom [Hau d'yahab.] he hath given to us.

¹⁹ We then will love Aloha, because he hath first loved us.

¹ WHOSOEVER believeth that Jeshu is the Meshiha of Aloha is born. And every one who loveth the Generator loveth also him who is generated of him.

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jeshu the Meshiha: it was not by water only, but by water and blood;

⁷ For after his name they went forth, taking nothing from the Gentiles. ⁸ We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be helpers of the truth.

¹² Concerning Demetrios is a testimony from every man, and from the church, and from the truth itself. But we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.

⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him, and they also who transfixed [Dadaqruhi.] him; and for him shall mourn all the tribes of the earth. Yes, Amen!

²³ And her sons will I kill with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you every one according to your works.

²⁵ but that which you have, hold, until I come.

¹¹ I come quickly. Hold that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

¹⁹ All those whom I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

¹⁷ for it is the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne who will feed them, and will lead them unto fountains of living waters, and Aloha will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

⁷ And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.[Polyglot, "Of this prophecy."]

²⁰ He who testifieth these saith, Yes: I come quickly. Amen. Come, Lord Jeshu.
