back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also
go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast
the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that
Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you
