The Savior Appears

1. All of the twelve disciples [were] sitting together and calling to mind what the Savior had said to each of them, whether secretly or publicly, and arranging it in books.

2. I, [however], was writing what was in [my heart].

3. Behold! The Savior appeared [after] having departed from [us as we] gazed after him, and five hundred and fifty days after he had risen from among the dead.

4. We said to him: “Have you gone away and separated yourself from us?”

5. Jesus, however, said: “Indeed! I shall, however, go to the place from where I came.

6. If you desire to come with me, come!”

7. All of them answered and said: “If you command us, we will come.”

8. He said, “Truly I say to you, no one will ever enter the kingdom of Heaven at my command, but rather because you yourselves are full.

9. Leave James and Peter with me, so that I may fill them.”

10. And after calling these two, he took them apart and instructed the others to busy themselves with what they were doing.
