And his disciples James and John having seen, said, 'Sir, wilt thou that we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?'

And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, 'I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;'

And Peter said to him, 'Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?'

'And he answering saith to him, Sir, suffer it also this year, till that I may dig about it, and cast in dung;

And he said to him, 'Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;'

And they said, 'Sir, lo, here are two swords;' and he said to them, 'It is sufficient.'

And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow,

And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, 'Sir, shall we smite with a sword?'
