Simple English

The 71st year passed. Then the 72nd and 79th years passed. Even 100 years had passed. The followers Jesus had chosen had all gone to God’s paradise. The only ones left were the three who would stay on earth. Other followers were chosen to take their place. Many people from that first group had died.

Paraphrase

The years rolled on—71st, 72nd, all the way to the 79th, and then a full century had passed. The disciples Jesus had chosen had all entered God’s paradise, except for the three who would remain. New disciples were ordained to take their places, and many from that first generation had died.
