Then said James the Greater, "Now we see that thou knowest all things,
and hast no need that one should ask thee anything."

And Thomas added, "Therefore we believe that thou comest forth from
God."

Jesus answered them saying, "Do ye now believe? Behold the hour
cometh, yea, is already come, when ye shall be scattered every man to
his own and leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with
me. Yes, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son that thy Son also
may glorify thee. I have finished the work which thou hast given me to

As Jesus with slow and staggering steps went toward the grotto, Peter
