The Last Chapter

he Venerable Bede spent the last day of his life dictating his translation of the last chapter of St. John's Gospel. In the evening the scribe said, "Dear Master, there is yet one sentence to write." He answered, “Write quickly.” Presently the youth said, "Now it is finished." He replied, "It is well. Thou hast said the truth, it is finished." Soon thereafter he breathed his last.
