[1] ³⁸⁴⁸But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain³⁸⁴⁹ where Jesus had [2] appointed them.  ³⁸⁵⁰And when they saw him, they worshipped him:  but there were of [3] them who doubted.  ³⁸⁵¹And while they sat there he appeared to them again, and upbraided them for their lack of faith and the hardness of their hearts, those that saw him when he was risen, and believed not.³⁸⁵²

[4] [Arabic, p. 209] ³⁸⁵³Then said Jesus unto them, I have been given all authority in heaven [5] and earth; and as my Father hath sent me, so I also send you.  ³⁸⁵⁴Go now into [6] all the world, and preach my gospel in all the creation; ³⁸⁵⁵and teach³⁸⁵⁶ all the peoples, and [7] baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit; ³⁸⁵⁷and teach them to keep all whatsoever I commanded you:  and lo, I am with you all the days, unto [8] the end of the world.  ³⁸⁵⁸For whosoever believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but [9] whosoever believeth not shall be rejected.  ³⁸⁵⁹And the signs³⁸⁶⁰ which shall attend those that believe in me are these:  that they shall cast out devils in my name; and they [10] shall speak with new tongues; ³⁸⁶¹and they shall take up serpents, and if they drink deadly poison,³⁸⁶² it shall not injure them; and they shall lay their hands on the diseased, [11] and they shall be healed.  ³⁸⁶³But ye, abide in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be clothed with power from on high.

[12] ³⁸⁶⁴And our Lord Jesus, after speaking to them, took them out to Bethany:  and he [13] lifted up his hands, and blessed them.  ³⁸⁶⁵And while he blessed them, he was separated from them, and ascended into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.  [14, 15] ³⁸⁶⁶And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:  ³⁸⁶⁷and at all times they were in the temple, praising and blessing God.  Amen.

[16] ³⁸⁶⁸And from thence they went forth, and preached in every place; and our Lord helped them, and confirmed their sayings by the signs which they did.³⁸⁶⁹

[17] ³⁸⁷⁰And here are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written every one of them, not even the world, according to my opinion, would contain the books which should be written.³⁸⁷¹
