But the eleven
disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain
3849
where Jesus had [2] appointed them.
3850
And
when they saw him, they worshipped him: but there were of [3]
them who doubted.
3851
And 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

3853
Then 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.
3854
Go now into [6] all the world, and preach my
gospel in all the creation;
3855
and teach
3856
all the peoples, and [7] baptize them in the
name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit;
3857
and 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.
3858
For whosoever
believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but [9] whosoever believeth
not shall be rejected.
3859
And the
signs
3860
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;
3861
and 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.
3863
But
ye, abide in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be clothed with power from
on high.
[12]
3864
And our Lord Jesus,
after speaking to them, took them out to Bethany: and he [13]
lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
3865
And
while he blessed them, he was separated from them, and ascended into
heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. [14, 15]
3866
And they worshipped him, and returned to
Jerusalem with great joy:
3867
and at all
times they were in the temple, praising and blessing God.
Amen.
[16]
3868
And 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]
3870
And 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.

This seems to be
the meaning of the text of the
mss.
Ciasca conjecturally emends it by printing in his Arabic text
because they

one also ignores the
