Jesus replied, I am he.

³⁷ And he allowed no person to follow him except Peter and James, and John, the brother of James.

³⁰ Now the Apostles, being assembled, related everything to Jesus, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

² After six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, apart to the top of a high mountain, and was transfigured in their presence.

¹² He answered, Elijah, to consummate the whole, must come first; and, (as it is written of the Son of Man,) must likewise suffer many things and be condemned.

⁴⁰ but to sit at my right hand, and left, I can not give, unless to those for whom it is appointed.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, Go throughout all the world, proclaim the glad tidings to the whole creation. ¹⁶ He who shall believe, and be immersed, shall be saved; but he who shall not believe, shall be condemned. ¹⁷ And these miraculous powers shall attend the believers:- In my name they shall expel demons.

¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius, Pontius Pilate being procurator of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, Philip, his brother, tetrarch of Iturea, and the province of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene; ² in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. ³ And he went through all the country along the Jordan, publishing the immersion of reformation for the remission of sins. ⁴ As it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one proclaiming in the wilderness, Prepare a way for the Lord, make for him a straight passage. ⁵ Let every valley be filled, every mountain and hill be leveled; let the crooked roads be made straight, and the rough ways smooth, ⁶ that all flesh may see the salvation of God." ⁷ Then said he to the multitudes, who flocked out to be immersed by him, Offspring of vipers, who has prompted you to flee from the impending vengeance? ⁸ Produce, then, the proper fruits of reformation; and say not within yourselves, We have Abraham for a father; for I assure you, that of these stones God can raise children to Abraham. ⁹ And even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Every tree, therefore, which produces not good fruit, is cut down, and thrown into the fire. ¹⁰ Upon this, the multitude asked him, What must we do then? ¹¹ He answered, Let him who has two coats, impart to him who has none; and let him who has victuals do the same. ¹² There came also publicans to be immersed, who said, Rabbi, what must we do? ¹³ He answered, Exact no more than what is appointed you. ¹⁴ Soldiers likewise asked him, And what must we do? He answered, Injure no man, either by violence, or false accusation, and be content with your allowance. ¹⁵ As the people were in suspense concerning John, every man imagining within himself that he might be the Messiah, ¹⁶ John addressed them all, saying, I, indeed, immerse in water; but one mightier than I comes, whose shoe-latchet I am not worthy to untie; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire;

¹⁶ John addressed them all, saying, I, indeed, immerse in water; but one mightier than I comes, whose shoe-latchet I am not worthy to untie; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire; ¹⁷ his winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his grain; he will gather the wheat into his granary, and consume the chaff in unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ And with many other exhortations, he published the good tidings to the people.

²³ Now Jesus was himself about thirty years in subjection, being (as was supposed) a son of Joseph, son of Heli,

²⁷ After this, he went out, and observing a publican, named Levi, sitting at the toll-office, said to him, Follow me. ²⁸ And he arose, left all, and followed him. ²⁹ And Levi made him a great entertainment in his own house, where there was a great company of publicans and others, at table with them.

¹² In those days, Jesus retired to a mountain to pray, and spent the whole night in an oratory. ¹³ When it was day, he called to him his disciples; and of them he chose twelve, whom he named Apostles.

¹³ When it was day, he called to him his disciples; and of them he chose twelve, whom he named Apostles. ¹⁴ Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew, his brother, James, and John, Philip, and Bartholomew; ¹⁵ Matthew, and Thomas, James, son of Alpheus, and Simon called the Zealous, ¹⁶ Judas, brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.

¹⁶ Judas, brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.

²¹ At that very time Jesus was delivering man from diseases and maladies, and evil spirits, and giving sight to many, who were blind. ²² And he returned this answer, Go, and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind are made to see, the lame to walk, the deaf to hear; the leprous are cleansed, the dead are raised, glad tidings are brought to the poor. ²³ And happy is he to whom I shall not prove a stumbling block.

² and by certain women, who had been delivered from evil spirits and distempers; Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons; ³ Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's steward; Susanna, and several others, who assisted him with their property.

⁵¹ Now, as the time of his departure approached, he set out resolutely for Jerusalem,

¹ Afterward, the Lord appointed seventy others, also, and sent them, two and two, before him, into every city and place whither he intended to go. ² And he said to them, The harvest is plentiful, but the reapers are few: pray, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he would send laborers to reap it.

¹⁹ Lo! I empowered you to turn on serpents, and scorpions, and all the might of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

¹³ If you, therefore, bad as you are, can give good things to your children; how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him!

²⁰ Being questioned by the Pharisees, when the Reign of God should commence, he answered, The Reign of God is not ushered in with parade;

²⁰ Being questioned by the Pharisees, when the Reign of God should commence, he answered, The Reign of God is not ushered in with parade; ²¹ nor shall people say, Lo, here! or Lo, yonder! for behold, the Reign of God is within you.

¹ He also showed them, by a parable, that they ought to persist in prayer, without growing weary.

¹¹ As the people were attentive, he added this parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and they fancied the Reign of God would immediately commence.

⁴² Yet David himself says, in the book of the Psalms, "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

²⁴ They shall fall by the sword; they shall be carried captive into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be over.

²⁷ Then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great glory and power.

³⁷ Thus Jesus taught in the temple by day, but retired at night to the mountain, called the Mount of Olives.

¹² And he will show you a large upper room, furnished; make ready there.

²⁹ And I grant to you, (forasmuch as my Father has granted me a kingdom,)

³² but I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not; do you, therefore, when you have recovered yourself, confirm your brethren.

⁴⁷ Before he had done speaking, he saw a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, walked before them, and came up to Jesus, to kiss him.

⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, standing at a distance, beheld these things.

⁵⁵ And the women, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee, followed Joseph, and observed the tomb, and how the body was laid.

¹ But the first day of the week, they went by daybreak, with some others, to the tomb, carrying the spices which they had provided, ² and found the stone rolled away from the tomb; ³ and having entered, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ While they were in perplexity on this account, behold, two men stood by them, in robes of a dazzling brightness.

⁴ While they were in perplexity on this account, behold, two men stood by them, in robes of a dazzling brightness. ⁵ The women being affrighted, and fixing their eyes on the ground, these said to them, Why do you seek the living among the dead?

⁵ The women being affrighted, and fixing their eyes on the ground, these said to them, Why do you seek the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but is risen; remember how he spoke to you, before he left Galilee, ⁷ saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. ⁸ Then they remembered his words. ⁹ On their return from the tomb, they reported the whole matter to the eleven, and to all the other disciples. ¹⁰ It was Mary the Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women with them, who told these things to the Apostles:

¹⁰ It was Mary the Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women with them, who told these things to the Apostles: ¹¹ but their account appeared to them as idle tales; they gave them no credit. ¹² Peter, however, arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, saw nothing there but the linen lying. And he went away, musing with astonishment on what had happened. ¹³ The same day, as two of the disciples were traveling to a village named Emmaus, sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, ¹⁴ they conversed together about all these events. ¹⁵ While they were conversing and reasoning, Jesus himself joined them, and went along with them. ¹⁶ But their eyes were so affected that they did not know him. ¹⁷ And he said to them, What subjects are these about which you confer together? and why are you dejected? ¹⁸ And one of them, named Cleopas, answered, Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and do you not know the things which have happened there so lately? ¹⁹ What things? said he. They answered, Concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet, powerful in word and deed, before God and all the people;

¹⁹ What things? said he. They answered, Concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet, powerful in word and deed, before God and all the people; ²⁰ how our chief priests and magistrates have delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. ²¹ As for us, we trusted that it had been he who should have redeemed Israel. Besides all this, today, being the third day since these things happened, ²² some women of our company have astonished us; for having gone early to the tomb, ²³ and not found his body, they came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he is alive. ²⁴ And some of our men went to the tomb, and found matters exactly as the women had related; but him they saw not. ²⁵ Then he said to them, O thoughtless men, and backward to believe things which have been all predicted by the prophets! ²⁶ Ought not the Messiah thus to suffer, and so to enter into his glory? ²⁷ Then beginning with Moses, and proceeding through all the prophets, he explained to them all the passages relating to himself. ²⁸ When they came near the village, whither they were traveling, he seemed as intending to go farther; ²⁹ but they constrained him, saying, Abide with us, for it grows late, and the day is far spent. And he went to abide with them.

²⁹ but they constrained him, saying, Abide with us, for it grows late, and the day is far spent. And he went to abide with them. ³⁰ While they were at table together, he took the loaf, and blessed and broke it, and distributed to them. ³¹ Then their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he disappeared. ³² And they said one to another, Did not our hearts burn within us, while he talked with us on the road, and expounded to us the scriptures? ³³ Immediately they arose and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven, and the rest of their company assembled, ³⁴ who said, The Master is actually risen, and has appeared to Simon. ³⁵ These also recounted what had happened on the road, and how he was made known to them in breaking the loaf. ³⁶ While they discoursed in this manner, he stood in the midst of them, and said, Peace be to you. ³⁷ But they were amazed and affrighted, imagining that they saw a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them, Why are you so alarmed? And wherefore do suspicious arise in your hearts? ³⁹ Behold my hands and my feet; it is I myself; handle me and be convinced; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see me have. ⁴⁰ Saying this, he showed them his hands and his feet. ⁴¹ While yet they believed not, for joy and amazement, he said to them, Have you here anything to eat?

⁴¹ While yet they believed not, for joy and amazement, he said to them, Have you here anything to eat? ⁴² And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of a honeycomb,

⁴² And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of a honeycomb, ⁴³ which he took and eat in their presence.

⁴³ which he took and eat in their presence. ⁴⁴ And he said to them, This is what I told you while I remained with you, that all the things which are written of me in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, must be accomplished.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, This is what I told you while I remained with you, that all the things which are written of me in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, must be accomplished. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the scriptures;

⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the scriptures; ⁴⁶ and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved the Messiah to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day;

⁴⁶ and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved the Messiah to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day; ⁴⁷ and that reformation and the remission of sins should be proclaimed, in his name, among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁷ and that reformation and the remission of sins should be proclaimed, in his name, among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ Now, you are witnesses of these things;

⁴⁸ Now, you are witnesses of these things; ⁴⁹ and behold I send you that which my Father has promised; but do you continue in this city, until you be invested with power from above.

⁵⁰ He then led them out as far as Bethany, and lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

⁵³ and were constantly in the temple, praising and blessing God.

¹⁶ Of his fulness we all have received, even favor for favor's sake;

²⁸ This happened at Bethabara, upon the Jordan, where John was immersing. ²⁹ On the next day, John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world. ³⁰ This is He, concerning whom I said, After me a man comes, who is preferred to me; for he was before me. ³¹ As for me, I knew him not; but, that he might be made manifest to Israel, I am come immersing in water.

³¹ As for me, I knew him not; but, that he might be made manifest to Israel, I am come immersing in water. ³² John testified further, saying, I saw the spirit descending from heaven, like a dove, and remaining upon him. ³³ For my part, I should not have known him, had not He, who sent me to immerse in water, told me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining, the same is He who immerses in the Holy Spirit. ³⁴ Having, therefore, seen this, I testify that he is the Son of God. ³⁵ The next day, John, being with two of his disciples, ³⁶ observed Jesus passing, and said, Behold the Lamb of God. ³⁷ The two disciples hearing this, followed Jesus. ³⁸ And Jesus turning about, saw them following, and said to them, What do you seek? They answered, Rabbi, (which signifies Teacher,) where do you dwell? ³⁹ He replied, Come, and see. They went, and saw where he dwelt, and it being about the tenth hour, abode with him that day. ⁴⁰ One of the two, who, having heard John, followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

⁴⁰ One of the two, who, having heard John, followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. ⁴¹ The first he met, was his own brother, Simon; to whom he said, We have found the Messiah, (a name equivalent to Christ.)

⁴¹ The first he met, was his own brother, Simon; to whom he said, We have found the Messiah, (a name equivalent to Christ.) ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus, looking upon him, said, You are Simon, the son of Jona; you shall be called Cephas, (which denotes the same as Peter.)

⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus, looking upon him, said, You are Simon, the son of Jona; you shall be called Cephas, (which denotes the same as Peter.) ⁴³ The next day, he resolved to go to Galilee, and meeting Philip, said to him, Follow me.

⁴³ The next day, he resolved to go to Galilee, and meeting Philip, said to him, Follow me. ⁴⁴ Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

⁴⁴ Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip meets Nathanael, and says to him, We have found the person described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazareth.

⁴⁵ Philip meets Nathanael, and says to him, We have found the person described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazareth. ⁴⁶ Nathanael says to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip answered, Come and see.

⁴⁶ Nathanael says to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip answered, Come and see. ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said, concerning him, Behold an Israelite, indeed, in whom is no guile. ⁴⁸ Nathanael said to him, Whence do you know me? Jesus answered, I saw you when you were under the fig tree, before Philip called you. ⁴⁹ Nathanael replying, said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel. ⁵⁰ Jesus answered him, saying, Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe! ⁵¹ He added, Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending from the Son of Man, and descending to him.

²⁴ But Jesus did not trust himself with them, because he knew them all. ²⁵ He needed not to receive from others a character of any man, for he knew what was in man.

³⁴ for he whom God has commissioned, relates God's own words; for to him God gives not the Spirit by measure.

⁵ Jesus, lifting up his eyes, and perceiving that a great multitude was flocking to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread to feed these people? ⁶ (This he said to try him; for he knew himself, what he was to do.) ⁷ Philip answered, Two hundred denarii would not purchase bread enough to afford every one a morsel.

⁶² What if you should see the Son of Man reascending thither, where he was before?

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve? yet one of you is a spy.

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve? yet one of you is a spy. ⁷¹ He meant Judas Iscariot, son of Simon; for it was he who was to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.

³⁹ This he spoke of the Spirit, which they who believed on him were to receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

¹ Most assuredly, I say to you, he who enters not by the gate into the sheepfold, but climbs over the fence, is a thief and a robber. ² The shepherd always enters by the gate. ³ To him, the porter opens, and the sheep obey his voice. His own sheep he calls by name, and leads out. ⁴ And having put out his sheep, he walks before them, and they follow him; because they know his voice. ⁵ They will not follow a stranger, but flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers. ⁶ Jesus addressed this similitude to them, but they did not comprehend what he said. ⁷ He therefore added, Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the gate of the fold. ⁸ All who preceded me were thieves and robbers; but the sheep obeyed them not. ⁹ I am the gate: such as enter by me shall be safe: they shall go in and out, and find pasture.

³² Jesus said to them, Many good works I have shown you from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me? ³³ The Jews answered, For a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God. ³⁴ Jesus replied, Is it not written in your law, "I said, You are gods?" ³⁵ If the law styled them gods, to whom the word of God was addressed, and if the language of scripture in unexceptionable;

³⁵ If the law styled them gods, to whom the word of God was addressed, and if the language of scripture in unexceptionable; ³⁶ do you charge him with blasphemy whom the Father has consecrated his Apostle to the world, for calling himself his Son? ³⁷ If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. ³⁸ But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe, that the Father is in me, and I am in him.

¹⁶ Then Thomas, that is, Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us go, that we may die with him.

¹⁸ Now, (Bethany being about fifteen furlongs from Jerusalem,)

²¹ These applied to Philip, of Bethsaida, in Galilee, making this request, Sir, we wish to see Jesus. ²² Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

³⁸ so that the word of the Prophet Isaiah was verified, "Lord, who has believed out report?" and, "To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe; Isaiah having said, also, ⁴⁰ "He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their understanding, that they might not see with their eyes, comprehend with their understanding, and be converted, that I might heal them."

¹ Jesus having perceived, before the feast of the passover, that his time to remove out of this world to his Father, was come; and having loved his own, who were in the world, he loved them to the last.

³ Jesus, though he knew that the Father had subjected everything to him, and that he came from God, and was returning to God;

¹⁸ I speak not of you all. I know whom I have chosen: but the scripture must be fulfilled, "He that eats at my table, has lifted up his heel against me."

²³ Now one of his disciples, one whom Jesus loved, was lying close to his breast: ²⁴ Simon Peter, therefore, made a sign to him, to inquire whom he meant. ²⁵ He, then, reclining on Jesus' bosom, said to him, Master, who is it?

²⁷ After receiving the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly.

³ I go to prepare a place for you: and after I shall have gone, and prepared a place for you; I will return and take you with me, that where I am, there you may be also.

⁸ Philip said to him, Master, show us the Father, and it will satisfy us. ⁹ Jesus replied, Have I been with you so long, and do you not yet know me, Philip? He that has seen me, has seen the Father. How do you say, then, Show us the Father?

¹² Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes on me, shall himself do such works as I do; nay, even greater than these shall he do; because I go to my Father,

¹⁶ and I will entreat the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to continue with you forever;

²⁶ But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I have told you. ²⁷ Peace I leave you; my peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Be not disheartened; be not intimidated. ²⁸ You have heard me say, I go away, and will return to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice that I go to the Father; because my Father is greater than I.

²⁶ But when the Advocate is come, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify concerning me. ²⁷ And you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.

⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is for your good that I depart; for if I do not depart, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go away, I will send him to you. ⁸ And when he is come, he will convince the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment: ⁹ concerning sin, because they believe not on me; ¹⁰ concerning righteousness because I go to my Father, and you see me no longer; ¹¹ concerning judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. ¹² I have many things still to tell you, but you can not yet bear them. ¹³ But when the Spirit of Truth is come, he will conduct you into all the truth: for his words will not proceed from himself: but whatsoever he shall have heard, he will speak, and show you things to come. ¹⁴ He will glorify me: for he will take of mine and communicate to you. ¹⁵ Whatsoever is the Father's, is mine; therefore, I say that he will take of mine to communicate to you.

²⁸ From the presence of the Father I cam into the world. Again, I leave the world, and return to the Father.

¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; those whom thou hast given me, I have preserved. None of them in lost, except the son of perdition, as the scripture foretold. ¹³ But now that I am coming to thee, I speak these things in the world, that their joy in me may be complete.

²⁵ Thus, therefore, acted the soldiers. Now, there stood near the cross of Jesus, his mother, and her sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene. ²⁶ Then Jesus, observing his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, said to his mother, Woman, behold your son.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, (knowing that all was now accomplished,) that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst. ²⁹ And there was a vessel there full of vinegar, they filled a sponge with vinegar, and, having fastened it to a twig of hyssop, held it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and bowing his head, yielded up his spirit.

³⁶ For these things happened that the scripture might be verified, "None of his bones shall be broken."

¹ The first day of the week, Mary, the Magdalene, went early to the sepulcher, while it was yet dark; and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. ² Then she came running to Simon Peter, and to that other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They have taken the Master out of the sepulcher; and we know not where they have laid him. ³ Immediately Peter went out, and the other disciple, to go to the sepulcher; ⁴ and both ran together, but the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the sepulcher; ⁵ and stooping down, he saw the linen rollers lying, but went not in. ⁶ Then came Simon Peter, who followed him, and went into the sepulcher, where he observed the rollers lying; ⁷ and the handkerchief which had been wrapped about his head, not laid beside them, but folded up in a place by itself. ⁸ Then the other disciple, who came first to the sepulcher, entered also; and he saw, and believed the report. ⁹ For, as yet, they did not understand from the scriptures, that he was to rise from the dead. ¹⁰ Then the disciples returned to their companions. ¹¹ But Mary stood without, near the sepulcher, weeping. As she wept, stooping down to look into the sepulcher, ¹² she saw two angles in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head, the other at the feet.

¹² she saw two angles in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head, the other at the feet. ¹³ And they said to her, Woman, why do you weep? She answered, Because they have taken away my Master, and I know not where they have laid him. ¹⁴ Having said this, she turned about, and saw Jesus standing, but knew not that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus aid to her, Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? She, supposing him to be the gardener, answered, Sir, if you have conveyed him hence, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus said to her, Mary. She, turning, said to him, Rabboni; that is, Teacher. ¹⁷ Jesus said to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. ¹⁸ Mary, the Magdalene, went and informed the disciples, that she had seen the Master, and that he had spoken these things to her. ¹⁹ In the evening of that day, the first of the week, Jesus came where the disciples were convened, (the doors having been shut, for the fear of the Jews,) and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be to you. ²⁰ Having said this, he showed them his hand and his side. The disciples, therefore, rejoiced when they saw it was their Master. ²¹ Jesus said again to them, Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, so do I send you.

²¹ Jesus said again to them, Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, so do I send you. ²² After these words, he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit.

²⁶ Eight days after, the disciples being again in the house, and Thomas with them, Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace be to you.

²⁶ Eight days after, the disciples being again in the house, and Thomas with them, Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace be to you. ²⁷ Then turning to Thomas, Reach hither your finger, he said, and look at my hands; reach also your hand, and feel my side; and be not incredulous, but believe. ²⁸ Thomas answered, My Lord, and my God! ²⁹ Jesus replied, Because you see me, you believe; happy they, who, having never seen, shall nevertheless believe.

¹ Afterward, Jesus again appeared to the disciples, at the sea of Tiberias; and in this manner he appeared. ² Simon Peter and Thomas, that is, Didymus, Nathanael of Cana, in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus, being together,

¹⁴ This is the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples, after his resurrection. ¹⁵ When they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me more than these? He answered, Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.

¹⁵ When they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me more than these? He answered, Yes, Lord, you know that I love you. ¹⁶ A second time he said, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me? He answered, Yes, Lord, you know that I love you. Jesus replied, Tend my sheep.

¹⁶ A second time he said, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me? He answered, Yes, Lord, you know that I love you. Jesus replied, Tend my sheep. ¹⁷ A third time he said, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me? Peter, grieved at his asking this question a third time, answered, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus replied, Feed my sheep.

¹⁷ A third time he said, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me? Peter, grieved at his asking this question a third time, answered, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus replied, Feed my sheep.

¹⁷ A third time he said, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me? Peter, grieved at his asking this question a third time, answered, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus replied, Feed my sheep. ¹⁸ Most assuredly, I say to you, in your youth you girt yourself, and went whither you would; but in your old age, you shall stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you whither you would not. ¹⁹ This he spoke, signifying by what death he should glorify God. After these words, he said to him, Follow me. ²⁰ And Peter turning about, saw the disciple, whom Jesus loved, following, (the same who, leaning on his breast at the supper, had asked who it was, that would betray him.) ²¹ Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, And what, Lord, shall become of this man?

²¹ Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, And what, Lord, shall become of this man? ²² Jesus answered, If I will that he wait my return, what is that to you? Follow me. ²³ Hence arose the rumor among the brethren, that that disciple should not die; nevertheless, Jesus said not, that he should not die; but, If I will, that he wait my return, what is that to you?

²³ Hence arose the rumor among the brethren, that that disciple should not die; nevertheless, Jesus said not, that he should not die; but, If I will, that he wait my return, what is that to you? ²⁴ It is this disciple, who attests these things, and wrote this account; and we know that his testimony deserves credit.

² even to the day in which he was taken up, after he had, by the Holy Spirit, given charge to the Apostles, whom he had chosen.

⁵ For John, indeed, immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit, within a few days.

⁸ But you shall receive power by the Holy Spirit coming upon you, and shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and even to the remotest parts of the earth. ⁹ And, having said these things, while they beheld, he was lifted up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

⁹ And, having said these things, while they beheld, he was lifted up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

¹¹ who also said, Galileans, why do you stand gazing up to heaven? This Jesus, who is taken up from you into heaven, shall also come in the same manner as you have seen him going to heaven.

¹³ And when they were come into the city, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, son of Alpheus, and Simon, the Zealot, and Judas, brother of James.

¹⁶ Brethren, it was necessary this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit formerly spoke, by the mouth of David, with respect to Judas, who became the guide of those that apprehended Jesus: ¹⁷ (for he was numbered with us, and had obtained a part of this ministry:) ¹⁸ this man, therefore, purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, and falling down on his face, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out: ¹⁹ and it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that field is called, in their language, Aceldama, that is, The Field of Blood. ²⁰ For it is written in the book of Psalms, "Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it": and, "Let another take his office."

²⁰ For it is written in the book of Psalms, "Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it": and, "Let another take his office." ²¹ It is necessary, therefore, that one of the men who have continued with us all the time the Lord Jesus was conversant among us, ²² commencing from his immersion by John, until the day of his assumption, should be constituted a witness with us, of his resurrection.

²⁵ that he may take part of the ministry and apostleship, from which Judas fell by transgression, that he might goes to his own place. ²⁶ And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.

¹ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all unanimously assembled in the same place:

¹ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all unanimously assembled in the same place: ² and, on a sudden, there was a sound from heaven, as of a rushing violent wind; and it filled all the house where they were sitting. ³ And there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, distinctly separated, and it rested upon each of them, ⁴ and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

⁷ And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another, Behold! are not all these that speak, Galileans?

¹⁴ But, Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice, and said to them-Jews, and all you that sojourn in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and attend to my words;

¹⁶ but this is that which was spoken by the Prophet Joel, ¹⁷ "And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out a portion of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy; and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. ¹⁸ Yes, in those days I will pour out of my Spirit upon my servants, and upon my handmaids; and they shall prophesy; ¹⁹ and I will give prodigies in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood and fire, and a cloud of smoke: ²⁰ the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and illustrious day of the Lord come. ²¹ And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall invoke the name of the Lord shall be saved." ²² Israelites, hear these words: Jesus, the Nazarene, a man recommended to you by God, by powerful operations, and wonders, and signs, which God wrought by him in the midst of you, (as you yourselves also know,) ²³ him you have apprehended, being given up by the declared counsel and foreknowledge of God, and by the hands of sinners have crucified and slain:

²⁹ Brethren, permit me to speak freely to you concerning the patriarch David; the he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is among us to this day; ³⁰ therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins he would raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne; ³¹ he, foreseeing this, spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul should not be left in the unseen world, nor his flesh see corruption. ³² This Jesus, God has raised up, of which all we are witnesses: ³³ being exalted, therefore, to the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has shed forth this, which you see and hear.

³⁷ Now, when they heard these things, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? ³⁸ And Peter said to them, Reform, and be each of you immersed in the name of Jesus Christ, in order to the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁴² And they continued steadfast in the teaching, in the fellowship, in the breaking of the load, and in the prayers of the Apostles.

⁴⁶ Moreover, they continued unanimously in the temple every day; and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with joy and simplicity of heart,

¹ Now, about that time, Peter and John went up to the temple, at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. ² And a certain man, who had been lame from his birth, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those that entered into the temple; ³ who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, begged to receive alms. ⁴ But Peter, with John, looking steadfastly upon him, said, Look on us. ⁵ And he fixed his eyes upon them, expecting to receive something from them. ⁶ But Peter said, Silver and gold I have none, but what I have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, rise up and walk. ⁷ And, taking him by the right hand, he raised him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones were strengthened. ⁸ And leaping up, he stood, and walked about, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. ⁹ And all the people saw him walking, and praising God; ¹⁰ and they knew him to be the same person who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple, and were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.

¹² And Peter, seeing this, answered the people, Israelites, why do you wonder at this? or why do you fix your eyes on us, as if by our own power, or piety, we had made this man to walk?

¹⁵ and killed the Prince of Life, whom God has raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses;

¹³ Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were illiterate men, and in private stations in life, they were astonished, and recollected their having been with Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John, answering them, said, Whether it be just in the sight of God, to obey you rather than God, judge you:

²⁴ And when they heard it, they lifted up their voice with one accord to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God who didst make heaven and earth; and the sea, and all things that are in them: ²⁵ who didst say by the mouth of thy servant David, "Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

²⁵ who didst say by the mouth of thy servant David, "Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers combined together against the Lord, and against his anointed."

²⁶ The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers combined together against the Lord, and against his anointed." ²⁷ For of a truth, against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel,

²⁷ For of a truth, against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel, ²⁸ have combined to do what thy hand and thy counsel marked out before to be done.

²⁸ have combined to do what thy hand and thy counsel marked out before to be done. ²⁹ And now, O Lord, regard their threatenings; and give to thy servants to speak thy word with all freedom; ³⁰ whilst thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are doing through the name of thy holy Son Jesus. ³¹ And while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken: and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with freedom.

³³ And with great power did the Apostles give forth their testimony concerning the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great kindness was among them all.

³² And we are witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God has given to them who submit to his government.

⁴ we will constantly attend to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

⁶ whom they presented before the Apostles; and they, having prayed, laid hands on them.

⁸ And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought many miracles, and great signs among the people.

² And he said, Brethren, and fathers, hearken: the God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran;

¹ And Saul was well pleased with his slaughter. And at that time there was a great persecution against the congregation in Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the regions of Judea, and Samaria, except the Apostles.

⁵ Then came Philip to the city of Samaria, and announced the Messiah to them. ⁶ And the people unanimously attended to the things that were spoken by Philip; as they heard them, and saw the miracles which he performed. ⁷ For, unclean spirits, which had possessed many, crying with a loud voice, came out of them; and many, who were paralytic and lame, were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ But there was a certain man named Simon, who had, before, in that city, used magic, and astonished the nation of Samaria; pretending himself to be some extraordinary person: ¹⁰ to whom they all paid regard, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. ¹¹ And they paid regard to him; because he had, for a long time, astonished them wit his enchantments. ¹² But when they gave credit to Philip, declaring the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ: they were immersed, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed; and being immersed, he kept near to Philip, beholding with amazement, the great and powerful miracles which were done. ¹⁴ Now when the Apostles, who were at Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John; ¹⁵ who, going down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ (For he was not yet fallen on any of them; only, they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.) ¹⁷ Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given by the imposition of the Apostles' hands, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, Let your money go with you to destruction, since you have thought that the free gift of God might be purchased with money. ²¹ You have no part nor lot in this matter; for your heart is not upright in the sight of God. ²² Reform, therefore, from this your wickedness; and beg of God, if, indeed, the thought of your heart may be forgiven you; ²³ for I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and bond of iniquity. ²⁴ And Simon answered, and said, Make your supplications to the Lord on my behalf; that none of these things which you have spoken, may come upon me. ²⁵ Now when they had borne their testimony, and had spoke the word of the Lord, they turned back for Jerusalem; and declared the glad tidings in many villages of the Samaritans.

³² Now it came to pass, that Peter, making a tour through all the congregations, came also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda. ³³ And he found there a certain man, whose name was Eneas, who has a palsy, and had kept his bed eight years. ³⁴ And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus, the Messiah, heals you; arise, and make your bed. And he arose immediately. ³⁵ And all the inhabitants of Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord. ³⁶ And there was at Joppa, a certain female disciple, named Tabitha, who, by interpretation, is called Dorcas; and she was full of good works, and alm-deeds, which she did. ³⁷ And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber. ³⁸ And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, entreating him that he would not delay to come to them. ³⁹ And Peter arose, and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping; and showing the coats and mantles, which Dorcas made, while she was with them. ⁴⁰ And Peter putting them all out, kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, sat up. ⁴¹ And giving her his hand, he raised her up; and having called the saints and widows, he presented her alive. ⁴² And this was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. ⁴³ And he continued many days at Joppa, in the house of one Simon, a tanner.

³ He evidently saw, in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius!

⁹ On the next day, while they were on their journey, and drew near the city, Peter went up to the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour. ¹⁰ And he was hungry, and would have taken a little refreshment; but while they were preparing, he fell into an ecstasy; ¹¹ and he saw heaven opened, and something descending like a great sheet, fastened at the four corners, and let down to the earth: ¹² in which there were all sorts of things, even four-footed animals of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and fowls of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter, kill, and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said, By no means, Lord; for I have never eat anything which is common or unclean. ¹⁵ And the voice said to him again, the second time, Those things which God has cleansed, do not you call common. ¹⁶ And this was done three times, and the sheet was taken up again into heaven. ¹⁷ While Peter was pondering in himself, what the vision, which he had seen, might import; behold, the men, who were sent from Cornelius, having inquired out the house of Simon, stood at the door; ¹⁸ and calling, they asked, if Simon, whose surname was Peter, lodged there. ¹⁹ Now, as Peter was reflecting on this vision; the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men are inquiring for you: ²⁰ arise, therefore, go down, and go with them without hesitation; for I have sent them. ²¹ Then Peter went down to the men, who were sent to him from Cornelius, and said, Behold, I am the man whom you seek; what is the cause of your coming? ²² And they said, Cornelius, the centurion, a righteous man, who fears God, and has a character attested by all the Jewish people, has been instructed, by a holy messenger, to send for you to his house, and to hear words from you. ²³ Having, therefore, called them in, he entertained them, and the next day set out with them: and some of the brethren, who were of Joppa, went with him. ²⁴ And the next day they entered into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relations and intimate friends. ²⁵ Now, as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and prostrating himself at his feet, made obeisance. ²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also am a man. ²⁷ And discoursing with him, he went in, and found many gathered together. ²⁸ And he said to them, You know that it is unlawful for a man that is a Jew to join with, or to come into the house of, one of another nation; nevertheless, God has shown me that I am to call no man common or unclean. ²⁹ Wherefore, when I was sent for, I came without debate: I ask, therefore, on what account you have sent for me? ³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house; and, behold, a man stood before me in bright raiment,

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house; and, behold, a man stood before me in bright raiment, ³¹ and said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are remembered before God: ³² send, therefore, to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodges in the house of one Simon, a tanner, by the seaside; who, when he is come, shall speak to you. ³³ Immediately, therefore, I sent to you, and you have done well in coming. Now, therefore, we are all here present before God, to hear all things which God has given to you in charge.

³⁸ concerning Jesus of Nazareth; how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit, and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.

³⁸ concerning Jesus of Nazareth; how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit, and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him. ³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem: whom they slew, hanging him on a tree. ⁴⁰ This very person God raised up, on the third day, and granted him to become manifest;

⁴⁰ This very person God raised up, on the third day, and granted him to become manifest; ⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, even to us, who have eat and drunk with him after he arose from the dead.

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, even to us, who have eat and drunk with him after he arose from the dead.

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, even to us, who have eat and drunk with him after he arose from the dead. ⁴² And he has given in charge to us to proclaim to the people, and to testify that it is he who is appointed by God, to be the judge of the living and the dead.

⁴⁵ and they of the circumcision, who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished that the gift of the Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also:

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as on us at the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John immersed in water; but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit.

² And he slew James, the brother of John, with the sword. ³ And as he saw that this was acceptable to the Jews, he went on to seize Peter also: and it was in the days of unleavened bread;

¹⁷ And he made a sign to them with his hand to be silent; and related to them how the Lord had conducted him out of prison. And he aid, Inform James and the brethren of these things: and departing, he went to another place.

²⁵ And Barnabas and Saul, having fulfilled their ministry, returned from Jerusalem; bringing along with them John, whose surname was Mark.

² And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate to me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them. ³ And having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them; they dismissed them.

¹⁵ And after the reading of the law and the prophets; the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to the people, speak it.

¹⁹ And having cast out seven nations in the land of Canaan, he distributed their country to them for an inheritance.

²⁴ John having, to introduce his appearance, before he preached the immersion of reformation to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ And when John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do you imagine me to be? I am not He; but behold, there comes one after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loose. ²⁶ Brethren, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God; to you is the word of this salvation sent: ²⁷ for the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the sayings of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath day; have fulfilled them in condemning him. ²⁸ And though they could find no cause of death in him; yet they requested Pilate that he might be executed. ²⁹ And when they had accomplished all things that were written concerning him; taking him down from the cross, they laid him in a tomb.

³¹ and he appeared for several days to those that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

³³ God has accomplished to us, their children, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."

³⁸ Be it known, therefore, to you, brethren, that by Him remission of sins is proclaimed to you:

²³ And when they had constituted elders for them, in every congregation, having prayed to God, with fasting; they committed them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

⁷ And after much debate, Peter rose up and said to them, Brethren, you know that, some considerable time since, God among us, chose, that the Gentiles, by my mouth, should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

⁷ And after much debate, Peter rose up and said to them, Brethren, you know that, some considerable time since, God among us, chose, that the Gentiles, by my mouth, should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. ⁸ And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did to us:

⁸ And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did to us: ⁹ and made no distinction between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith. ¹⁰ Now, therefore, why do you tempt God by imposing on the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? ¹¹ But we believe that we are saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they.

¹³ Then after they had done speaking, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken to me.

²² Then it seemed good to the Apostles and elders, and all the congregation, to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, chosen men from among themselves, namely, Judas, surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, men of principal account among the brethren;

²⁶ And he has made of one blood, the whole race of men, to inhabit all the face of the earth; having marked out the times previously arranged in order, and the boundaries of their habitations:

⁴ And Paul said, John, indeed, administered the immersion of reformation, telling the people that they should believe in Him that was to come after him: that is, in Jesus.

⁸ And there were many lamps in the upper room, in which we were assembled;

²⁴ But I make no account of any of these things, nor do I regard even life itself; so that I may but joyfully finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, even to testify the good news of the favor of God.

¹⁹ And having embraced them, he gave them a particular account of those things which God had done among the Gentiles by his ministry. ²⁰ And when they heard it, they glorified God, and said to him, Brother, you see how many myriads of believing Jews there are: and they are all zealous for the law.

⁴⁰ And on his giving permission, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and when there was a great silence, he addressed them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:

¹ Brethren and fathers, hear my apology, which I make to you now.

¹⁵ because you shall be his witness, to all men, of those things, which you have seen and heard.

¹ And Paul, looking attentively on the Sanhedrim, said, Brethren, I have, even to this day, lived in all good conscience toward God-

⁶ Then Paul, perceiving that the one part was Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out, in the Sanhedrim, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; for the hope and resurrection of the dead, I am brought into judgment.

¹⁷ And it came to pass, that, after three days, Paul called together those that were the chief of the Jews. And when they were come together, he said to them, Brethren, though I have done nothing contrary to the people, nor to our paternal customs, yet I was delivered a prisoner, from Jerusalem, into the hands of the Romans;

²⁵ And disagreeing with each other, they broke up the assembly: Paul saying this one word, Surely, well did the Holy Spirit speak, by Isaiah the prophet, to our fathers,

³¹ announcing the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which relate to the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom of speech, and without any restraint.

⁵ by whom we have received favor, even the apostolic office, for the obedience of faith among all nations, for his name's sake:

²⁷ But he who searches the hearts, knows the mind of the Spirit; that, according to the will of God, he makes intercession for the saints.

¹⁸ But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, indeed, "Their sound has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."

¹² Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, steadfastly persevering in prayer.

¹⁷ For the Reign of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness and peace, and joy, in the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Holy Spirit: so that from Jerusalem, and round about, as far as Illyricum, I have fully declared the gospel of Christ;

² If to others I am not an Apostle, yet, to you, at least, I am; for the seal of my apostleship, are you, in the Lord.

¹³ For, indeed, by one Spirit, we all have been immersed into one body; whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or freemen; and all have been made to drink of one Spirit.

⁵ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. ⁶ After that, he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present time, but some are fallen asleep.

⁶ After that, he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present time, but some are fallen asleep. ⁷ After that, he was seen by James; then, by all the Apostles.

⁷ After that, he was seen by James; then, by all the Apostles.

¹ Wherefore, having this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not falter;

¹⁸ And all these things of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us to the ministry of the reconciliation-

¹ Paul, an Apostle, not from men, neither by man; but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from the dead;

¹⁹ But I saw no other of the Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother.

⁸ (for he who wrought effectually in Peter for the apostleship of the circumcision, also wrought effectually in me for the Gentiles): ⁹ even James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, having perceived the favor granted to me, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we, indeed, should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

²⁰ having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the foundation corner stone;

⁸ (Wherefore he says, Having ascended on high, he captivated captivity, and gave gifts to men.

⁸ (Wherefore he says, Having ascended on high, he captivated captivity, and gave gifts to men. ⁹ Now, this-Having ascended, what is it, unless, indeed, he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth!

⁹ Now, this-Having ascended, what is it, unless, indeed, he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth! ¹⁰ He who descended, is the same who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

¹⁰ He who descended, is the same who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) ¹¹ And he gave some, indeed, Apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; ¹² for the adapting of these saints to the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of Christ:

¹⁸ With all supplication and deprecation, pray at all seasons in spirit; and for this very purpose, watch with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints:

¹³ who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:

²³ if, indeed, you continue in the faith founded and stable, and not removed from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature which is under heaven; of which I, Paul, am made a minister.

² Continue instant in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;

¹⁰ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he has raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath which is to come.

¹² and testifying that you should walk worthy of God, who has called you to his kingdom of glory.

¹⁶ for the Lord himself will descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the Arch Angel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first;

¹ However, concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write to you: ² for yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.

⁷ and to you, the afflicted, (because our testimony was believed by you,) rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, ⁸ inflicting a just retribution on those who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁹ who shall suffer a just punishment-an everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power- ¹⁰ in that day when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired by all the believers.

¹⁶ And, confessedly, great is the secret of godliness; -he who has manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit; seen of messengers, proclaimed to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

¹⁵ which appearance, at the proper season, the blessed and only Potentate, the King of king, and Lord of lords will exhibit;

¹ This, also, know, that in latter days perilous times will come.

⁵ he saved us-not on account of works of righteousness which we had done-but according to his own mercy, through the bath of regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Spirit;

³ how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? which, beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed to us by them who heard him;

⁷ Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, if you will hear his voice, ⁸ harden not your hearts, as in the bitter provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness;

¹³ And there is no creature concealed from his sight, for all things are naked and open to the eyes of him, to whom we must give an account.

¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and entering into the place within the vail, ²⁰ where a forerunner has entered on our account; even Jesus, made a High Priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedec.)

²⁴ Therefore, Christ has not entered into the holy places made with hands, the antitypes of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God, on our account.

¹ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Health.

¹¹ searching diligently of what things, and what kind of time, the Spirit of Christ, who was in them, did signify, when he testified before the sufferings of Christ, and the glories following these-

³ And through covetousness, they will make merchandise of you, by fictitious tales: to whom the punishment threatened of old lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not. ⁴ For God, indeed, did not spare the angels who sinned, but with chains of darkness confining them in Tartarus, delivered them over to be kept for judgment; ⁵ and did not spare the old world, but saved Noah, the eighth, a proclaimer of righteousness, when he brought the flood upon the world of the ungodly; ⁶ and having reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, punished them with an overthrow, making them an example to those who should afterward live ungodly:

¹⁵ having forsaken the right path, they have wandered, following in the way of Balaam, the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of iniquity, ¹⁶ and was convicted of his transgression; the dumb brute, speaking with man's voice, reprimanded the madness of the prophet.

²¹ Therefore, it has been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, turn away from the holy commandment delivered to them.

² to be mindful of the words before spoken by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the Apostles of the Lord and Saviour.

¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have contemplated, and our hands have handled, concerning the living Word-

¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have contemplated, and our hands have handled, concerning the living Word- ² (for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and declare to you that life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;) ³ that which we have seen and heard, we declare to you; that you also may have fellowship with us: and our fellowship truly is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ. ⁴ And these things we write to you, that your joy may be complete. ⁵ Moreover, this is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

This is the commandment, even as you have heard from the beginning, that you may walk in it; ⁷ for many deceivers are entered into the world, who do not confess Jesus Christ did come in the flesh. This is the deceiver, and the antichrist. ⁸ Look to yourselves, that we may not lose the things which we have wrought, but may receive a full reward. ⁹ Whoever transgresses, and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ, has not God: he who abides in the doctrine of Christ, has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one come to you, and bring not this doctrine; receive him not into your house, nor wish him success: ¹¹ for he who wishes him success, partakes in his evil deeds. ¹² Having many things to write to you, I did not incline to communicate them by paper and ink; because I hope to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be complete. ¹³ The children of your beloved sister, salute you.

¹ The elder, to Gaius, the beloved, whom I love in the truth. ² Beloved, I pray, that with respect to all things, you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. ³ For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came, and bore witness to your truth, even as you walk in truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than that which I have when I hear my children are walking in truth. ⁵ Beloved, you do faithfully what you perform for the brethren, and for the strangers. ⁶ These have borne testimony to your love, in the presence of the congregation; whom, if you help forward on their journey, in a manner worthy of God, you will do well. ⁷ Because for his name's sake, they went forth, receiving nothing from the Gentiles. ⁸ We, therefore, ought to entertain such, that we may be joint laborers in the truth. ⁹ I wrote to the congregation: but Diotrephes, who affects a pre-eminence among them, does not receive us. ¹⁰ For this cause, when I come, I will bring his deeds to remembrance, which he practices-prating against us with malicious words; and, not content with this, he does not himself receive the brethren, and forbids them who would, and casts them out of the congregation. ¹¹ Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good, is of God; but he who does evil, has not seen God. ¹² Testimony is borne to Demetrius, by all, and by the truth itself; and we also bear testimony; and you know that our testimony is true. ¹³ I have many things to write; but I do not incline to write them to you with pen and ink: ¹⁴ for I hope immediately to see you, and so we shall speak face to face.

¹² And they heard a great voice saying to them, from heaven, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies looked on them. ¹³ And in that hour there was a great earthquake; and a tenth part of the city fell, and seven thousand titles of men were destroyed by the earthquake; and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
