33 And Peter answering said to him, `Even if all shall be stumbled at thee, I will never be stumbled.'
And he said to him, `Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;'
To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.
Before destruction `is' pride, And before stumbling -- a haughty spirit.' Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to apportion spoil with the proud.
A multitude of men proclaim each his kindness, And a man of stedfastness who doth find?
Crooked `is' the heart above all things, And it `is' incurable -- who doth know it?
And Peter said to him, `And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;'
Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.' Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;' Jesus answered him, `Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'
When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, `Simon, `son' of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Feed my lambs.'
in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;
In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace; be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,
