THE GOSPEL STORY OF GOD THE SON, WHO BECAME INCARNATE FOR OUR SALVATION, SET FORTH IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER IN THE WORDS OF THE HOLY EVANGELISTS

Jesus, who ascended from you to heaven, will come in the same way that you see Him ascend into heaven.

Then they worshipped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. And when they came, they went into the upper room, where they dwelt, Peter and James, John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the brother of James.

They all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with certain women, and Mary, the Mother of the Lord Jesus, and with His brethren. And they were always in the temple, glorifying and blessing God.

Thus the Lord ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And the Apostles, after the descent of the Holy Spirit, went and preached everywhere, with the Lord's help and the strengthening of the word with subsequent signs.

260. Final Afterword

In. 20, 31; 21, 25.

The Lord Jesus did many other miracles before His disciples, which are not written in this book. For if everything created by Him were to be written in detail, then, I think, the world itself would not be able to contain the books written.

And these things are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is Christ the Lord, the Son of God, and that by believing ye may have life in his name.

Amen.
