Job 25 1 Then answered Bildad
the Shuhite, and said,
2 Dominion and fear
are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
3 Is there any
number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light
arise?
4 How then can man
be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is
born of a woman?
5 Behold even to
the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure
in his sight.
6 How much less
man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which
is a worm?
Job 26 1 But Job answered and
said,
2 How hast thou
helped him that is without power? how
savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 How hast thou
counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how
hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom hast thou
uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Dead things
are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants
thereof.
6 Hell is
naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7 He stretcheth out
the north over the empty place, and hangeth the
earth upon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the
waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent
under them.
9 He holdeth back
the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud
upon it.
10 He hath
compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night
come to an end.
11 The pillars of
heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 He divideth the
sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth
through the proud.
13 By his spirit he
hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the
crooked serpent.
14 Lo, these are
parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of
him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
John 21 1 After these things
Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of
Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
2 There were
together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and
Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of
Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith
unto them, I go afishing. They say unto him, We also go
with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship
immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4 But when the
morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the
disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus saith
unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered
him, No.
6 And he said unto
them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye
shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not
able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore that
disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the
Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he
girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he
was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
8 And the other
disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far
from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging
the net with fishes.
9 As soon then as
they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there,
and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto
them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11 Simon Peter went
up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an
hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so
many, yet was not the net broken.
12 Jesus saith unto
them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples
durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the
Lord.
13 Jesus then
cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish
likewise.
14 This is now the
third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples,
after that he was risen from the dead.
15 ¶ So when they
had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son
of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto
him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith
unto him, Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him
again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that
I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 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.
18 Verily, verily,
I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst
thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when
thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands,
and another shall gird thee, and carry thee
whither thou wouldest not.
19 This spake he,
signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when
he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
20 Then Peter,
turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved
following; which also leaned on his breast at supper and
said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
21 Peter seeing him
saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this
man do?
22 Jesus saith unto
him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that
to thee? follow thou me.
23 Then went this
saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple
should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not
die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is
that to thee?
24 This is the
disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote
these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are
also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if
they should be written every one, I suppose that even the
world itself could not contain the books that should be
written. Amen.
