Returning to Jerusalem to tell
this grBlit news to the Apostles,
they found out that they already
knew of the Resurrertion and
that the Lord had appeared to

and they found the eleven gath-
ered together, and those that
were with them, saying: The
Lord is risen indeed, AND
HATH APPEARED TO SIMON.
And they told what things were
done in the way, and how they
knew Him in the breaking o<
Dread."
