entered into the boat; and that night they took 4 nothing. But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach howbeit the disciples knew 5 not that it was Jesus. Jesus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They 6 answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not 7 able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his coat about him (for 8 he was naked), and cast himself into the sea. But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits 9 off), dragging the net full of fishes. So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and 1 Gr. a fire 10 2 fish laid thereon, and 3 bread.

Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, or, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three and aboard. for all there were so many, the net was not rent. 12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and break your fast.

And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who 13 art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus cometh, and taketh the 5 bread, and giveth them, and 5 Or, loaf. 14 the fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me Gr. more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; ch. i. 42, thou knowest that I love thee.

Verily, 18 verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. Now this he 19 spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. Peter, turning about, seeth 20 the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee? Peter therefore 21 1 Gr. and seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he 22 tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

This is the disciple which beareth witness of these 24 things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true.

And there are also many other things which Jesus 25 did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that should be written.

6 They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore 7 the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the 8 Father hath set within his own authority. But yeOr, appointed by. shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa and Samaria, and unto the 9 uttermost part of the earth.

And when they were come in, they 13 went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the 1 son of James. These all with one accord 14 continued stedfastly in prayer, 2 with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of 15 the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude 3 Gr. names. of 3 persons gathered together, about a hundred and twenty), Brethren, it was needful that the scripture 16 should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered 17 among us, and received his portion in this ministry. (Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his 18 iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it became 19 known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.) For it is written in the 20 book of Psalms,

Of the men therefore which have companied with 21 us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us, beginning from the baptism of John, 22 unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection. And they put forward two, Joseph called 23 Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which know- 24 est the hearts of all men, shew of these two the one whom thou hast chosen, to take the place in this 25 ministry and apostleship, from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place. And they gave 26 Or, unto. lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

And suddenly filled. being fulthere came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they 3 were sitting. And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each 2 Or, part4 one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy them.

5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout 6 men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard 7 them speaking in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all 8 these which speak Galilæans? And how hear we, every man in our own language, wherein we were 9 born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judæa and Cappadocia, 10 in Pontus and Asia, in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in

Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and so11 journers from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cre

tans and Arabians, we do hear them speaking in our 12 tongues the mighty works of God. And they were all

amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, 13 What meaneth this? But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, saying, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this 15 known unto you, and give ear unto my words. For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is but 16 the third hour of the day; but this is that which hath been spoken by the prophet Joel;

17

And it shall be in the last days, saith God,
I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh :
And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see visions,
And your old men shall dream dreams:
