¹ AFTER these things Jesus again shewed himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he appeared in the following manner: ² Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, the twin, and Nathaniel who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of the disciples were together. ³ Simon Peter said to them, I am going a-fishing. They say to him, We too will go with thee. They went out, and got on board the vessel immediately; and that night they caught nothing. ⁴ But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood upon the beach: yet the disciples had not discovered that it was Jesus. ⁵ Then saith Jesus unto them, My youths, have ye any thing eatable? They answered him, No. ⁶ Then he said to them, Shoot the net on the right side of the vessel, and ye shall find fish. They shot it therefore, and now they were not able to drag it in from the quantity of fishes. ⁷ Then said that disciple whom Jesus loved to Peter, It is the Lord! Then Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat round him, (for he was stripped,) and threw himself into the sea. ⁸ And the other disciples came in the little vessel, (for they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with the fishes. ⁹ When therefore they were come to land, they saw a fire laid, and a fish upon it, and a loaf. ¹⁰ Jesus saith to them, Bring some of the fish which ye have just caught. ¹¹ Simon Peter went aboard, and drew the net to land full of large fishes, to the number of a hundred and fifty-three: and though they were so many, yet was not the net rent. ¹² Jesus saith to them, Come, dine. Now not one of the disciples dared inquire, Who art thou? conscious that it was the Lord. ¹³ Then Jesus cometh, and taketh the loaf, and distributed to them, 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?

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.

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great pastor of the sheep, by the blood of the everlasting testament,

⁸ whom though ye have not seen, ye love; on whom, though ye have not as yet gazed, yet believing, ye exult with joy unutterable and glorious:

² as new-born babes desire earnestly the unadulterated milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

²⁵ For ye were as sheep wandering astray; but are now returned unto the pastor and bishop of your souls.

¹ THE presbyters among you I exhort, who am a co-presbyter and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker of the glory which shall be revealed: ² feed the flock of God which is among you, exercising your pastoral office not of necessity, but of choice, not for base gain, but with alacrity of mind; ³ not as domineering over your allotted congregations, but as being examples of the flock. ⁴ And when the arch Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that will never fade away.

⁷² Then again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.

³ Then spake he unto them this parable, saying, ⁴ What man is there of you, possessing an hundred sheep, though he lose but one of them, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? ⁵ and when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶ And coming home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Congratulate me; for I have found that sheep of mine which was lost. ⁷ I tell you, that just so will there be joy in heaven over one repentant sinner, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who hold not their need of 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 layeth down his life for the sheep. ¹² But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own property the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf seizes upon them, and disperseth the sheep. ¹³ Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. ¹⁴ I am the good shepherd, and know my own [sheep], and am known of my own. ¹⁵ As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: these also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, one shepherd.

²⁶ But ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you. ²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

¹⁷ Then said the damsel who kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also one of the disciples of this man? He saith, I am not.

²⁵ Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

² feed the flock of God which is among you, exercising your pastoral office not of necessity, but of choice, not for base gain, but with alacrity of mind;

¹⁷ Because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them, as a shepherd, and lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

⁴⁰ And the king answering shall say to them, Verily I tell you, for as much as ye have done it to one of these my brethren, the very least of them, ye have done it unto me.

⁷³ But after a little while they who stood by, came up and said to Peter, Assuredly thou also art one of them: for even thy speech maketh thee manifest. ⁷⁴ Then began he to utter the bitterest curses, and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said unto him, Before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And going out, he wept bitterly.

⁷² And the second time the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake unto him, That before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And casting his mantle over his face, he wept.

⁶¹ And the Lord, turning round, looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, That before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. ⁶² And Peter going without, wept bitterly.

²⁴ But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew them all, ²⁵ and because he had no need that any man should testify respecting man; for he knew what was in man.

⁸ For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.

³⁸ Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I tell thee, the cock will not crow, before thou shalt deny me thrice.

¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments.

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

³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any person should ask thee: by this we believe that thou hast come forth from God.

⁴ Jesus therefore, conscious of all things that were coming upon him, going forward, said to them, Whom are ye seeking?

²⁷ Then again Peter denied: and instantly the cock crew.

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.

²⁴ And joining in prayer, they said, Do thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, point out the one of these two which thou hast chosen,

⁸ And God, who is the discerner of the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as to us;

¹² For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and peculiarly towards you.

⁴ For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears, not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly towards you. ⁵ Now if any person hath given cause for grief, he hath not grieved me [merely], but partly all of you; that I may add no farther burden. ⁶ Sufficient for such person is that chastisement which hath been inflicted by the majority of you. ⁷ Wherefore, on the contrary, ye rather ought to forgive and comfort him, lest such a one be swallowed up with excess of sorrow.

⁸ For if I grieved you by a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that this letter made you sorry, though but for a season. ⁹ Now I rejoice, not that ye have been made sorrowful, but that ye have sorrowed unto repentance; for ye have been made sorry in a godly manner, that ye might receive damage from us in nothing. ¹⁰ For sorrow of a godly sort worketh repentance unto salvation never to be repented of, but worldly sorrow worketh death. ¹¹ For behold this very thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly manner, how great diligence did it produce in you! yea, what apologizing! yea, what indignation! yea, what fear! yea, what earnest desire! yea, what zeal! yea, what vengeance! In every step ye have approved yourselves as pure in this affair.

⁸ I speak not by commandment, but because of the forwardness of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sake he became poor though he was rich, that ye by his poverty should be made rich.

³⁰ And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye have been sealed unto the day of redemption.

⁶ Wherein ye exult, though yet for a little space, (if it must be so,) ye are in sorrow through various trials:

¹² Wherefore I will not be negligent continually to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth. ¹³ Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this frail tabernacle, to rouse up your attention by reminding you: ¹⁴ knowing that the deposition of this frail tabernacle of mine is hastily approaching, as our Lord Jesus Christ hath made evident to me. ¹⁵ I will endeavour then that even after my decease, ye may always have wherewith to preserve the remembrance of these things.

¹ THIS second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I rouse up your sincere mind by awakening your recollection

¹⁶ By this we have known the love [of Christ], because for us he laid down his own life: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. ¹⁷ But whosoever hath worldly abundance, and seeth his brother under necessity, and shutteth his bowels of compassion against him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My dear children, let us not love in word and in tongue, but in deed and in truth; ¹⁹ and hereby we know that we are of the truth, and in his presence have this persuasion in our hearts. ²⁰ For should our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence towards God. ²² And whatsoever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are pleasing in his sight. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. ²⁴ And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him; and by this we know that he abideth in us, from the Spirit which he hath given us.

⁷ For on account of his name they went forth, receiving nothing from the heathen. ⁸ We therefore ought to assist such men, that we may become fellow-labourers in the truth.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and correct: be zealous then, and repent.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name! Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, Whither art thou going? Jesus answered him, Whither I am going, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me hereafter.

³ And seeing how agreeable this was to the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) ⁴ Whom having apprehended, he put him in prison, delivering him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep guard over him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people [for execution].

¹¹ And coming to us, he took Paul's girdle, and binding both his own hands and feet together, said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, The man, whose girdle this is, shall the Jews bind in like manner at Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

⁴ For we which are in this tabernacle, groan, being burdened; wherein we desire not to be unclothed, but clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.

³⁸ And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

²¹ From that time Jesus began to shew his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the chief-priests, and of the scribes, and be put to death, and the third day rise again. ²² And Peter taking him aside, began to chide him, saying, Mercy on thee, Lord! this shall never be thy case. ²³ Then turning from him, he said unto Peter, Get thee behind me Satan! thou art an offence to me: for thou dost not relish the things of God, but those of men. ²⁴ Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ²⁵ For whosoever is desirous to preserve his life, shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

²⁸ Then said Jesus unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³³ But he turned himself around, and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not relish the things which are of God, but those that are of men. ³⁴ Then calling to him the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ³⁵ For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake and the Gospel, he shall preserve it. ³⁶ For what would it profit a man, though he should gain the whole world, if he be punished with the loss of his own soul? ³⁷ Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? ³⁸ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, before this adulterous and sinful generation; of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.

²² saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day rise again. ²³ And he said unto them, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. ²⁴ For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall preserve it. ²⁵ For what advantage hath a man in gaining all the would, if he destroy himself, or be punished with the loss of life? ²⁶ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and his father's, and of the holy angels.

²⁶ If a man will be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

³³ And this he said, signifying by what death he should die.

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, Whither art thou going? Jesus answered him, Whither I am going, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me hereafter. ³⁷ Peter saith to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

³² that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, intimating by what manner of death he should die.

²² Jesus saith to him, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

²⁰ according to my firm expectation and hope, that I shall be confounded by no event, but that with all boldness, as always hitherto, Christ shall now also be magnified in my body, whether by my life or death.

¹¹ If any man speak, let it be agreeably to the oracles of God; if any man act as a deacon, let it be from the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory and might for ever and ever. Amen. ¹² Beloved, be not amazed at the fiery trial among you which is to bring you to the test, as though something strange happened to you; ¹³ but as ye share in the sufferings of Christ rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory also ye may hail him with exultations. ¹⁴ If ye suffer reproach for the name of Christ, blessed are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: by them indeed he is blasphemed, but by you he is glorified.

¹⁴ knowing that the deposition of this frail tabernacle of mine is hastily approaching, as our Lord Jesus Christ hath made evident to me.

²³ Now there was one of the disciples reclining on the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ Therefore Simon Peter gave him a significant look, that he should inquire of Jesus, which of them it should be of whom he spake. ²⁵ And he leaning on the breast of Jesus, said to him, Lord, which is it? ²⁶ Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give this morsel of bread, when I have dipped it. And dipping the morsel of bread, he gave it unto Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

³ Then as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall there things be? and what is the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the age? ⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, Beware that no man deceive you.

²³ And a person said to him, Lord, are the saved few? And he said unto them, ²⁴ Exert all your powers to enter through the strait gate: for many, I tell you, will seek to enter, but will not be able.

⁶ They then accordingly assembling together, asked him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time reestablish the kingdom of Israel? ⁷ But he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times and the seasons, which the Father hath reserved under his own authority.

²⁷ For the Son of man shall hereafter come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then shall he recompense every man according to his practice. ²⁸ Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who shall in no wise taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

³ Then as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall there things be? and what is the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the age?

²⁷ For as the lightning cometh out from the east, and flashes to the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also prepared: for in an hour that ye think not, the Son of man cometh.

³¹ But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

¹ AND he said unto them, I tell you of a certainty, that there are some standing here who shall not taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God come with power.

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.

⁵ Wherefore judge nothing before the time until the Lord come, who also will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will manifest the counsels of men's hearts; and then shall praise be given to each from God.

²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew forth the death of the Lord till he come.

⁷ Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, in patient expectation for it, till it receives the former and the latter rain.

⁷ Behold! he is coming with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall lament bitterly, smiting their bosoms, because of him: even so! Amen.

²⁵ Nevertheless that which you have, hold fast till I come.

¹¹ Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

⁷ Behold, I come quickly! blessed is he that observeth the words of the prophecy of this book.

²⁰ He that testifieth these things saith, Verily, I come quickly. Amen. Yea come, Lord Jesus!

¹⁵ And in those days arose Peter in the midst of the disciples, and said, (there was a number of persons together, about an hundred and twenty,)

²⁷ and ye too shall bear your testimony, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

³⁵ And he that saw it bore witness, and we know that his testimony is true: and he himself is conscious that he speaketh what is true, that ye might believe.

¹ THAT which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life; ² (for the life was manifested, and we have beheld it, and bear testimony, and declare unto you that life eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;)

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood: and the Spirit is the witnessing person, because the Spirit is the truth.

¹² Demetrius hath a good testimony from all men, and from the truth itself: and we also bear our testimony, and ye know that our testimony is true.

⁵ The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

²⁴ And again I repeat it to you, It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

³⁰ Now many other miracles did Jesus therefore also in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: ³¹ but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

³⁸ respecting Jesus, who was of Nazareth, how God had anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were tyrannically oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

³⁵ In all things I have set you the example, that so labouring hard ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."

³² And what more shall I say: for the time would fail me if I should make a narration concerning Gideon, and Barac, and Sampson, and Jephtha, and David, and Samuel, and the prophets:
