hee. He
saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time,
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because
he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said
unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I
love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
_Or else this_.
St John xx. 19.

the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear
of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto
them, Peace be unto you. And when he had so said, he shewed unto
them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when
they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto
you: As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he
had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive

unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
_Or this_.
St Matth. xxviii. 18.

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: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the
end of the world.
