¹⁵So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
¹⁶He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
¹⁷He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
¹⁸Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
¹⁹Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
²⁰Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
²¹Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
²²Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
²³This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”
²⁴This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
²⁵There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.
Epistle

Romans 7:1–13

¹Or don’t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?
²For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
³So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
⁴Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.
⁵For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.
⁶But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
⁷What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting, unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
⁸But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
⁹I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
¹⁰The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
¹¹for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
¹²Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
¹³Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.

¹⁹They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
²⁰But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
²¹The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
²²The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
²³who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
²⁴For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
²⁵Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
²⁶When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
²⁹As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
³⁰which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

³⁶But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
³⁷Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
³⁸Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”
¹He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.
²Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;
³Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, who was also called Thaddaeus;
⁴Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
⁵Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.
⁶Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
⁷As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’
⁸Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.

¹⁶Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
¹⁷The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
¹⁸He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
¹⁹Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
²⁰Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
²¹In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”
