Jesus 5 aid /" JESUS SAID QUESTIONS OF LIFE ANSWERED BY THE ONE WHO ALONE SPEAKS WITH AUTHORITY SELECTED AND ARRANGED BY FRANCES E. LORD BOSTON SHERMAN, FRENCH v). That disciple whom Jesus loved said therefore to Peter, It is the Lord. When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his coat about him (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net full of fishes (lxOv(ov). When they got out upon the land they saw a fire of coals laid and fish (oipdpiov) laid thereon and bread (aprov). Jesus said to them: Bring of the fish (oipaplov) which ye have now taken. Simon Peter therefore went up and drew the net to land, full of great fishes (ixOvuiv), a hundred and fifty and three; and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. Jesus saith to them: Come and breakfast. And no one of the disciples dared ask him, Who art thou, knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus cometh and taketh the bread and giveth them, and the fish (6\f/dpiov) likewise. When then they had breakfasted, Jesus saith to Simon Peter : Simon, son of John, lovest thou (dya7ras) me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, Lord ; thou knowest that I love (<£iAa>) thee. Jesus saith to him: Feed my lambs. Again Jesus saith to him a second time : Simon, son of John, lovest thou (dycwros) me? He saith to him, Yes, Lord ; thou knowest that I love (<£iA.w) thee. Jesus saith to him: Tend my sheep. Jesus saith to him the third time : Simon, son of John, lovest thou (<£iA«s) me? Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou (^tAeis) me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love (<£iA<5) thee. Jesus saith to him: Feed my sheep. Verily, verily, I say to [80] 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 shalt gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. And when he had spoken thus, He saith to him: Follow me. Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betray eth thee? Peter therefore seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what of this man? Jesus saith to him : If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. John 21:5, 6, 10, 12, 15-19, 22. [81] xlvh last question of the disciples —lord, dost thou at this TIME RESTORE THE KINGDOM TO ISRAEL? At the last meeting of Jesus with his dis- ciples before his ascension, when they were come together, they asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them : It is not yours to know times or seasons which the Father has placed within his own authority. But, ye shall receive power, the Holy Spirit coming upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and unto the uttermost parts of the earth.
