'He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets. And straightway he called them.'
'Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.'
'And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.'
'And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.'
