Luke xxiv. John xx. John xxi. Matt. xxviii. Mark xvi. Matt. xxviii. Mark xvi. Acts i. Luke xxiv. Acts i. he said unto them, "Feel and see; for a spirit hath neither flesh nor bones, as ye see me to have." And he shewed them his hands, feet, and side. When they were yet marvelling at the matter, and not stedfastly believing, Jesus took a piece of broiled fish and an honeycomb, and did eat in their sight. The disciples rejoiced when they had seen the Lord. Then said he again, "Peace be unto you;" and he breathed upon them, and said, "Receive the Holy Ghost. Whosoever's sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; and whosoever's sins ye retain, they are retained." After this, when the Lord was gone, Thomas came again to the disciples, which said unto him, "We have seen the Lord;" which answered, that he would not believe that Christ was risen from death, except he saw in his hands the print of the nails, and put his finger in the print of the nails, and thrust his hand into his side. After eight days Jesus came again, when the doors were shut, and stood in the midst of them. And Thomas was there; to whom Christ said, "Peace be unto you." And Jesus said unto Thomas, "Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands; and bring thy hand, and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing." Thomas answered and said unto him, "My Lord, and my God." Jesus said unto him, "Thomas, because thou hast seen, thou believest. Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet believe." After these things Jesus shewed himself again at the sea of Tiberias, where his disciples were fishing. Jesus, standing on the shore, commanded them to cast out their net on the right side of the ship; which at the commandment of Christ cast out their net, and anon they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Then said John, "It is the Lord." When Peter heard that, he gird his coat to him, and sprang into the sea. The other disciples came by ship unto the shore. At that time the disciples were all together at dinner; and Jesus was with them. They did eat bread and roasted fish; and none of the disciples durst ask him what he was; for they knew it was the Lord. And when they had dined, the Lord said unto Peter, "Simon Joanna, lovest thou me more than these?" He said unto him, “Lord, thou knowest that I love thee." Then said Christ unto him, "Feed my lambs." The second and the third time Christ demanded the same question of Simon Peter, and, receiving the same answer of Peter, said twice unto him, "Feed my sheep;" Peter being sorry that Christ should so oftentimes ask one and the same question. Then said Christ unto him; "Verily, verily I say unto thee, when thou wast young thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest. But when thou art old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands; and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldest not." This spake Christ, signifying by what death Peter should glorify God. Then said Peter to Christ concerning John, "Lord, what shall he here do?" To whom Jesus answered and said, "If I will have him to tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me." Then went the eleven disciples into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him. But some of them, notwithstanding, doubted if it were he. Therefore he did cast in their teeth their unbelief and hardness of heart. Immediately after he said unto them: "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go therefore into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." "For he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these tokens shall follow them that believe. In my name they shall cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues, and shall kill serpents. And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay their hands on the sick; and they shall recover." On that day when Christ should ascend into heaven, he came to his disciples in Jerusalem, and spake many things unto them of the kingdom of God, commanding them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, that they might be endued with power from above. Then the disciples asked him, if he would then presently restore again the kingdom to Israel. But he said Mark xvi. unto them: "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father "There are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they should written, that ye might believe that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God; and that in be lieving this ye might have life through his name." Give the glory to God alone. John xxi. John xx. THE BOOKS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. 1. The Gospel of St Matthew, containing twenty-eight chapters. 2.
