Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, “Follow me.”
Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?” Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, “Lord, and what shall this man do?”
Jesus saith unto him, “If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.”
This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die, but, “If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?”
THE APPEARANCE TO THE ELEVEN ON THE MOUNTAIN.
The eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, “All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”
THE LAST APPEARANCE AND ASCENSION.
And he said unto them, “These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.”
Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures; and he said unto them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day; and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. Ye are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.”
And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: and were continually in the temple, blessing God.

Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples which are not written in this book, but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of god; and that believing ye may have life in his name.
