[228] ‘Very soon after the Lord was risen, he went to James, and showed himself to him. For James had solemnly sworn that he would eat no bread from the time that he had drunk the cup of the Lord till he should see him risen from among them that sleep. “Bring,” saith the Lord, “a table and bread.” He took bread, and blessed and brake it, and then gave it to James the Just, and said to him, “My brother, eat thy bread; for the Son of man is risen from among them that sleep.”’—St. Jerome, as quoted in Lardner, Lives of the Apostles, chap. xvi.
