unto you! (37)But
terrified and affrighted, they thought they saw a spirit. (38)And he
said to them, Why are ye under such agitation of mind? and why do
reasonings arise in your hearts? (39)look upon my hands and my feet,
that it is my very self: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not
flesh and bones, as ye see me have. (40)And thus speaking, he exposed
to them his hands and his feet. (41)But when they still could not
credit it for joy, and marvelled, he said unto them, Have ye here any
thing eatable? (42)Then they gave him a part of a broiled fish, and a
piece of honey-comb. (43)And receiving it, he did eat in their
presence. (44)And said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake
unto you, when I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled,
which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the
Psalms, concerning me. (45)Then opened he thoroughly their
understanding, that they should understand the scriptures, (46)and said
to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and
rise again from the dead the third day (47)and that repentance and
remission of sin should be preached in his name unto all nations,
beginning from Jerusalem. (48)And ye are the witnesses of these things.
(49)And, behold, I send unto you the promise of my Father: but sit ye
down in the city of Jerusalem, until ye shall be endued with power from
on high. (50)And he led them without _the city_ as far as Bethany, and
lifting up his hands he blessed them. (51)And it came to pass, as he
pronounced the benediction upon them, he was parted from them, and
taken up into heaven. (52)And they, after paying him their adorations,
returned to Jerusalem with vast joy: (53)and were continually in the
temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN.

CHAP. I.

IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God. (2)He was in the beginning with God. (3)All things were made
by him; and without him was not one thing made that was made. (4)In him
was life; and the life was the light of men. (5)And the light shineth
in darkness; and the darkness did not comprehend it.

(6)A man was sent from God, whose name was John. (7)He came for a
witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all
men through him might believe. (8)He was not the Light, but sent that
he should bear testimony concerning the Light. (9)He was that true
Light, which illumines eve
