Wednesday, December 27 : Holy Gospel according to Saint John 21,19-24.
And this he said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had said this, he saith to him: Follow me.
Peter turning about, saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned on his breast at supper and said: Lord, who is he that shall betray thee?
Him therefore when Peter had seen, he saith to Jesus: Lord, and what shall this man do?
Jesus saith to him: So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me.
This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. And Jesus did not say to him: He should not die; but: So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee?
This is that disciple who giveth testimony of these things and hath written these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
