18)Verily, verily, I say to thee, when thou wast young, thou didst
gird thyself, and walk whither thou wouldst; but when thou shalt be
old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee,
and lead thee whither thou wouldst not. (19)And this he spoke,
signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God.

And having spoken this, he says to him: Follow me. (20)Peter, turning
about, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also at the
supper leaned back on his breast, and said: Lord, who is he that
betrays thee? (21)Peter seeing him says to Jesus: Lord, and what shall
this man do? (22)Jesus says to him: If I will that he remain till I
come, what is it to thee? Do thou follow me.

(23)This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that
disciple should not die. And Jesus said not to him, that he should not
die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is it to thee?

(24)This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote

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

THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.

THE former narration I made, O Theophilus, concerning all things that
Jesus began both to do and to teach, (2)until the day when he was

appearing to them, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of
God.

(4)And, being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to
depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father,
which ye heard from me; (5)for John indeed immersed in water; but ye
shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit, not many days hence.

(6)They therefore, having come together[1:6], asked him, saying: Lord,
wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? (7)And he
said to them: It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the
Father appointed by his own authority[1:7]. (8)But ye shall receive
power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you; and ye shall be my
witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and Samaria, and unto
the utmost part of the earth.

(9)And having spoken these things, while they beheld he was
