Peshitta New Testament — Murdock — Section 65

And when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon 15 Cephas: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me, more than these do ? He said to him : Yes, my Lord : thou knowest that I love the6. Jesus said to him : Feed my lambs for me. (16) Again, he said to IG him the second time : Simon, son of Jonas, lovest JOHN, XXI. 211 thou me ? He said to liim : Yes, mj Lord ; tliou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him :*Feed 17 my sheep for me. (17) Again, Jesus said to him the third time : Simon, sou of Jonas, lovest thou me ? And it grieved Cephas, that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me ; and he said to him: My Lord, thou understandest^ all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him : 18 Feed my sheep for me. (18) Verily, veril}^, I say to thee : When thou wast young, thou girdedst thy own loins, and walkedst whither it pleased thee : but Avhen thou shalt be old, thou wilt extend thy hands, and another will gird thy loins for thee, and wdll conduct thee whither thou wouldst not. 19 (19) And this he said, to show by what death he was to glorify God. And having said these things, 20 he said to him: Follow me. — (20) "And Simon turned himself, and saw coming after him, that disciple whom Jesus loved, who fell on the breast of Jesus at the supper, and said, i\Iy Lord, who is 21 it will betray thee? (21) llim Cephas saw, and said to Jesus: My Lord, as for this man, what? 22 (22) Jesus said to him : If I will, that he abide here until I Come, what [is that] to thee ? Follow 23 thou me. (23) And this saying went forth among the brethren, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say, that he would not die ; but. If I will that he abide here until I come, what [is that] to thee. 21 This is the disciple who hath testified of all these things, and hath written them : and we know, 25 that his testimonyis true. — (25) And there are also many other things, which Jesus did; which, if written out with particularity, •i the world itself, as I suppose, would not suffice for the books that would be written.
