They say to him: In regard to Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet, and mighty in discourse and in action, before God, and before all the people.

And he went in to remain with them.

And they found the eleven assembled, and those with them, ³⁴ who were saying: Certainly, our Lord hath risen; and he hath appeared to Simon. ³⁵ And they also related what occurred by the way, and how he became known to them, when he broke bread. ³⁶ And while they were talking of these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be with you! It is I; be not afraid. ³⁷ And they were in trepidation and fear, for they supposed they saw a spirit. ³⁸ Jesus said to them: Why are ye agitated? And why do imaginations arise in your hearts? ³⁹ Look at my hands and my feet, that it is myself. Handle me, and know; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. ⁴⁰ And as he said thus, he showed them his hands and his feet. ⁴¹ And while they still believed not, for their joy, and were astonished; he said to them: Have ye here any thing to eat?

⁴¹ And while they still believed not, for their joy, and were astonished; he said to them: Have ye here any thing to eat? ⁴² And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of honeycomb.

⁴² And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of honeycomb. ⁴³ And he took, and ate before them.

⁴³ And he took, and ate before them. ⁴⁴ And he said to them: These are the things which I said to you while I was with you, That all things written of me, in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, must be fulfilled.

⁴⁴ And he said to them: These are the things which I said to you while I was with you, That all things written of me, in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, must be fulfilled. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures.

⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures. ⁴⁶ And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it was right for Messiah to suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day;

⁴⁶ And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it was right for Messiah to suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day; ⁴⁷ and that, in his name, repentance for the remission of sins should be preached among all nations, and that the commencement be at Jerusalem.

⁴⁷ and that, in his name, repentance for the remission of sins should be preached among all nations, and that the commencement be at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ And ye are the witnesses of these things.

⁴⁸ And ye are the witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And I will send upon you the promise of my Father. But remain ye at Jerusalem until ye shall be clothed with energy from on high.

⁴⁹ And I will send upon you the promise of my Father. But remain ye at Jerusalem until ye shall be clothed with energy from on high.

⁴⁹ And I will send upon you the promise of my Father. But remain ye at Jerusalem until ye shall be clothed with energy from on high. ⁵⁰ And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifted his hands, and blessed them.

⁵⁰ And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifted his hands, and blessed them.

⁵⁰ And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifted his hands, and blessed them. ⁵¹ And it occurred, while he blessed them, that he was separated from them, and ascended to heaven.

⁵¹ And it occurred, while he blessed them, that he was separated from them, and ascended to heaven.

⁵¹ And it occurred, while he blessed them, that he was separated from them, and ascended to heaven. ⁵² And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

⁵² And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. ⁵³ And they were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. Completion of the holy Gospel of Luke the Evangelist.

⁵³ And they were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. Completion of the holy Gospel of Luke the Evangelist.

¹⁶ And of his plenitude have we all received, and grace for grace.

²⁸ These things occurred in Bethany, where John was baptizing. ²⁹ The day after, John saw Jesus coming towards him, and said: Behold, the Lamb of God, that beareth the sin of the world. ³⁰ This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who is before me, for he was prior to me. ³¹ And I knew him not; but that he might be known to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

³¹ And I knew him not; but that he might be known to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. ³² And John testified, and said: I saw the Spirit descend from heaven, as a dove, and rest upon him. ³³ And I did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me- On whom thou seest the Spirit descend, and rest upon him, he baptizeth with the Holy Spirit. ³⁴ And I saw; and I testify, that this is the Son of God. ³⁵ And the next day, John was standing, and two of his disciples. ³⁶ And he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and said: Behold, the Lamb of God! ³⁷ And his two disciples heard him when he said it, and they went after Jesus. ³⁸ And Jesus turned, and saw them coming after him, and he said to them: What seek ye? They said to him: Our Rabbi, where stayest thou? ³⁹ He said to them: Come, and see. And they came and saw where he lodged; and they were with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour. ⁴⁰ And one of those who heard John and went after Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon.

⁴⁰ And one of those who heard John and went after Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon. ⁴¹ He first saw Simon his brother, and said to him: We have found the Messiah.

⁴¹ He first saw Simon his brother, and said to him: We have found the Messiah. ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looked upon him, and said Thou art Simon the son of Jona; thou shalt be called Cephas.

⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looked upon him, and said Thou art Simon the son of Jona; thou shalt be called Cephas. ⁴³ The next day, Jesus was disposed to depart for Galilee: and he found Philip and said to him, Come after me.

⁴³ The next day, Jesus was disposed to depart for Galilee: and he found Philip and said to him, Come after me. ⁴⁴ And Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Simon.

⁴⁴ And Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Simon. ⁴⁵ And Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him, of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.

⁴⁵ And Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him, of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth. ⁴⁶ Nathaniel said to him: Can there be any good thing from Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come, and see.

⁴⁶ Nathaniel said to him: Can there be any good thing from Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come, and see. ⁴⁷ And Jesus saw Nathaniel coming towards him, and said of him: Behold a real Israelite, in whom is no deceit. ⁴⁸ Nathaniel said to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus said to him: Before Philip called thee when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. ⁴⁹ Nathaniel answered, and said to him: Rabbi; thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. ⁵⁰ Jesus said to him: Because I said to thee, that I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou wilt see greater things than these. ⁵¹ He said to him: Verily, verily, I say to you, That hereafter ye will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending unto the Son of man.

²⁴ But Jesus did not confide himself to them; because he knew all men: ²⁵ And he needed not that any one should testify to him respecting any man; for he himself knew what is in man.

³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for God hath not given the Spirit by measure to him.

⁵ And Jesus raised his eyes, and saw a great multitude coming towards him; and he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said, to try him; for he knew what he was about to do. ⁷ Philip said to him: Two hundred denarii in bread would not suffice them, that each might take but a little.

⁶² If then, ye were to see the Son of man ascend, to where he was from the beginning!

⁷⁰ Jesus said to them: Have not I chosen you twelve? Yet one of you is a devil.

⁷⁰ Jesus said to them: Have not I chosen you twelve? Yet one of you is a devil. ⁷¹ This he spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for he was afterwards to betray him, being one of the twelve.

³⁹ (This he said of the Spirit, which they who believe in him were to receive: for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

¹ Verily, verily, I say to you, That he who doth not enter by the door into the fold of the flock, but climbeth up in some other place, he is a thief and a robber. ² But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the flock. ³ And to him the door-keeper openeth the door; and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth the sheep by their names, and leadeth them out. ⁴ And when he hath led out his flock, he goeth before it; and his sheep follow him, because they know his voice. ⁵ But after a stranger the flock will not follow, but it fleeth from him; because it knoweth not the voice of a stranger. ⁶ This allegory spake Jesus to them; but they knew not what he said to them. ⁷ And Jesus said to them again: Verily, verily, I say to you, That I am the door of the flock. ⁸ All those who have come, were thieves and robbers: but the flock did not hear them. ⁹ I am the door: and if any enter by me, he will live, and will come in and go out, and will find pasture.

³² Jesus said to them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? ³³ The Jews said to him: It is not on account of good works, that we stone thee: but because thou blasphemest; and, whilst thou art a man, thou makest thyself God. ³⁴ Jesus said to them: Is it not written in your law, I have said, Ye are gods? ³⁵ If he called them gods, because the word of God was with them, and the scripture cannot be nullified;

³⁵ If he called them gods, because the word of God was with them, and the scripture cannot be nullified; ³⁶ do ye say to him, whom the Father, hath sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said to you, I am the Son of God? ³⁷ And if I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. ³⁸ But if I do them, although ye believe not me, yet believe the works; that ye may know and believe, that my Father is in me, and I in my Father.

¹⁶ Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples: Let us also go and die with him.

¹⁸ Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, distant from it about fifteen furlongs.

²¹ These came, and approached Philip, who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him: My lord, we are desirous to see Jesus. ²² Philip came and told Andrew; and Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, who said: My Lord; who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: ⁴⁰ They have blinded their eyes, and darkened their hearts; that they might not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted; and I should heal them.

¹ And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knew that the hour had come when he should depart from this world unto the Father. And he loved his own people, who were in the world; and he loved them unto the end.

³ And Jesus, because he knew that the Father had given all things into his hands; and that he came out from the Father, and was going to God;

¹⁸ Not of you all, do I speak: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted his heel against me.

²³ And there was one of his disciples, who was reclining on his bosom, he whom Jesus loved; ²⁴ to him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him, who it was of whom he spoke. ²⁵ And that disciple fell upon the breast of Jesus, and said to him: My Lord, which is he?

²⁷ And after the bread, then Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: What thou doest, do quickly.

³ And if I go to prepare for you a place, I will come again and take you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

⁸ Philip said to him: Our Lord, show us the Father, and it will suffice for us. ⁹ Jesus said to him: Have I been all this time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? He that seeth me, seeth the Father: and how sayest thou, Show us the Father?

¹² Verily, verily, I say to you: He that believeth in me, the works which I do, will he also do. And greater than these will he do, because I go unto my Father.

¹⁶ And I will ask of my Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,

²⁶ But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you every thing, and will remind you of all that I say to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. It is not as the world giveth, that I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor be afraid. ²⁸ Ye have heard what I said to you that I go away, and come again to you. If ye had loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I go to my Father; for my Father is greater than I

²⁶ But when the Comforter shall come, whom I will send to you from my Father, that Spirit of truth who proceedeth from the Father, He will testify of me. ²⁷ And do ye also testify; for ye have been with me from the beginning.

⁷ But I tell you the truth, that it is profitable for you that I go away; for, if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. ⁸ And when he is come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. ⁹ Of sin because they believe not in me: ¹⁰ and of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more: ¹¹ and of Judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. ¹² Moreover, I have much to say to you: but ye cannot comprehend it now. ¹³ But when the Spirit of truth shall come, he will lead you into all the truth. For he will not speak from his own mind; but whatever he heareth, that will he speak: and he will make known to you things to come. ¹⁴ He will glorify me; because he will receive of what is mine, and will show it to you. ¹⁵ Whatever the Father hath, is mine: therefore said I to you that he will receive of what is mine, and will show it to you.

²⁸ I proceeded forth from before the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go to the Father.

¹² While I have been with them in the world, I have kept them in thy name. Those thou gavest me, have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that my joy may be complete in them.

² And Judas also, the betrayer, knew the place; because Jesus often there met with his disciples. ³ Then Judas received a regiment, and from the presence of the chief priests and Pharisees he had officials; and he came to the place with lanterns and lamps and weapons. ⁴ And Jesus, as he knew every thing that was to befall him, went forth and said to them: Whom seek ye? ⁵ They say to him: Jesus the Nazarean. Jesus said to them: I am he. And Judas the betrayer was also standing with them. ⁶ And when Jesus said to them, I am he, they drew back and fell upon the ground. ⁷ And again Jesus asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said: Jesus the Nazarean. ⁸ Jesus said to them: I have told you that I am he; and if ye seek me, let these go away:

¹⁷ And the maid who kept the door, said to Simon: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? And he said: I am not.

¹⁹ And the high priest interrogated Jesus respecting his disciples, and respecting his doctrine. ²⁰ And Jesus said to him: I have discoursed openly with the people, and have at all times taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble; and I have uttered nothing in private. ²¹ Why dost thou interrogate me? Ask them who have heard, what I said to them: lo, they know what I have said.

²⁵ And Simon Cephas was standing and warming himself; and they said to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? And he denied, and said: I am not. ²⁶ And one of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of him whose ear Simon cut off, said to him: Did I not see thee with him in the garden? ²⁷ And again Simon denied: and at that moment the cock crew.

²⁵ And there were standing near the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, and Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalena. ²⁶ And Jesus saw his mother, and that disciple whom he loved, standing by, and he said to his mother: Woman, behold, thy son.

²⁸ After these things, Jesus knew that every thing was finished; and, that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said: I thirst. ²⁹ And a vessel was standing there, full of vinegar. And they filled a sponge with the vinegar, and put it on a hyssop stalk, and bore it to his mouth. ³⁰ And when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said: Lo; Done. And he bowed his head, and yielded up his spirit.

³⁶ For these things occurred, that the scripture might be fulfilled, which said: A bone of him shall not be broken.

¹ And the first day of the week, in the morning, while it was yet dark, Mary Magdalena came to the sepulchre: and she saw that the stone was removed from the grave. ² And she ran, and came to Simon Cephas, and to that other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them: They have taken away our Lord from the sepulchre, and I know not where they have laid him. ³ And Simon set out, and the other disciple, and they were going to the sepulchre. ⁴ And they both ran together; but that disciple outran Simon, and came first to the sepulchre. ⁵ And he looked in, and saw the linen cloths lying: but he did not go in. ⁶ And after him came Simon; and he entered the sepulchre, and saw the linen cloths lying; ⁷ and the napkin, that had been wrapped about his head, was not with the linen cloths, but was folded up, and laid in a place by itself. ⁸ Then entered also the disciple who came first to the sepulchre; and he saw, and believed. ⁹ For they had not yet learned from the scriptures, that he was to arise from the dead. ¹⁰ And those disciples went away again to their place. ¹¹ But Mary remained standing at the sepulchre, and weeping; and as she wept, she looked into the sepulchre ¹² and saw two angels in white, who were sitting, one at the pillows and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus was laid.

¹² and saw two angels in white, who were sitting, one at the pillows and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus was laid. ¹³ And they said to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She said to them: Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him ¹⁴ Having said this, she turned round, and saw Jesus standing, but did not know that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus said to her: Woman, why weepest thou? and, whom dost thou seek? And she supposed that he was the gardener: and she said to him: My lord, if thou hast borne him away, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will go and take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus said to her: Mary! And she turned, and said to him in Hebrew: Rabbuni; which is interpreted Teacher. ¹⁷ Jesus said to her: Touch me not; for not yet have I ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God.

¹⁷ Jesus said to her: Touch me not; for not yet have I ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God. ¹⁸ Then came Mary Magdalena, and told the disciples that she had seen our Lord; and that he had said these things to her. ¹⁹ And on the evening of that first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be with you. ²⁰ Having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. And the disciples rejoiced, when they saw our Lord. ²¹ And Jesus said to them; Peace be with you. As my Father hath sent me, I also send you.

²¹ And Jesus said to them; Peace be with you. As my Father hath sent me, I also send you. ²² And as he said these things, he breathed on them, and said to them: Receive ye the Holy Spirit.

²⁶ And after eight days, the disciples were again within, and Thomas with them: and Jesus came, while the doors were closed, stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be with you.

²⁶ And after eight days, the disciples were again within, and Thomas with them: and Jesus came, while the doors were closed, stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be with you. ²⁷ And he said to Thomas: Reach hither thy finger, and look at my hands; and reach out thy hand and extend it to my side: and be not incredulous, but believing. ²⁸ And Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God! ²⁹ Jesus said to him: Now, when thou hast seen me, thou believest: blessed are they, who have not seen me, yet believe.

¹ After these things, Jesus showed himself again to his disciples, at the sea of Tiberias: and he showed himself thus: ² There were together, Simon Cephas, and Thomas called the Twin, and Nathaniel who was of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of the disciples.

¹⁴ This is the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples when he had arisen from the dead. ¹⁵ And when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Cephas: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me, more than these do? He said to him: Yes, my Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my lambs for me.

¹⁵ And when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Cephas: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me, more than these do? He said to him: Yes, my Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my lambs for me. ¹⁶ Again, he said to him the second time: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He said to him: Yes, my Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep for me.

¹⁶ Again, he said to him the second time: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He said to him: Yes, my Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep for me. ¹⁷ Again, Jesus said to him the third time: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? And it grieved Cephas, that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me; and he said to him: My Lord, thou understandest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep for me.

¹⁷ Again, Jesus said to him the third time: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? And it grieved Cephas, that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me; and he said to him: My Lord, thou understandest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep for me.

¹⁷ Again, Jesus said to him the third time: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? And it grieved Cephas, that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me; and he said to him: My Lord, thou understandest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep for me. ¹⁸ Verily, verily, I say to thee: When thou wast young, thou girdedst thy own loins, and walkedst whither it pleased thee: but when thou shalt be old, thou wilt extend thy hands, and another will gird thy loins for thee, and will conduct thee whither thou wouldst not. ¹⁹ And this he said, to show by what death he was to glorify God. And having said these things, he said to him: Follow me. ²⁰ And Simon turned himself, and saw coming after him, that disciple whom Jesus loved, who fell on the breast of Jesus at the supper, and said, My Lord, who is it will betray thee? ²¹ Him Cephas saw, and said to Jesus: My Lord, as for this man, what?

²¹ Him Cephas saw, and said to Jesus: My Lord, as for this man, what? ²² Jesus said to him: If I will, that he abide here until I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. ²³ And this saying went forth among the brethren, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say, that he would not die; but, If I will that he abide here until I come, what is that to thee.

²³ And this saying went forth among the brethren, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say, that he would not die; but, If I will that he abide here until I come, what is that to thee. ²⁴ This is the disciple who hath testified of all these things, and hath written them: and we know, that his testimony is true.

² until the day when he was taken up, after he had instructed those legates whom he had chosen by the Holy Spirit.

⁵ For John baptized with water; but ye will be baptized with the Holy Spirit after not many days.

⁸ But when the Holy Spirit shall come upon you, ye will receive energy, and will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and also among the Samaritans, and unto the ends of the earth. ⁹ And when he had said these things, while they beheld him, he was taken up, and a cloud received him, and he was hidden from their eyes.

⁹ And when he had said these things, while they beheld him, he was taken up, and a cloud received him, and he was hidden from their eyes.

¹¹ and saying to them: Ye Galilean men, why stand ye and look toward heaven? This Jesus, who is taken up from you to heaven, will so come, as ye have seen him ascend to heaven.

¹³ And when they had entered, they went to an upper chamber; where were Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, and Philip, and Thomas, and Matthew, and Bartholomew, and James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the son of James.

¹⁶ Men, brethren, it was right that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus. ¹⁷ For he was numbered with us, and had a part in this ministry. ¹⁸ He purchased a field with the wages of sin; and he fell upon his face on the ground, and burst in the middle, and all his entrails were poured out. ¹⁹ And this was known to all that dwelt at Jerusalem; so that the field was called, in the language of the country, Aceldama, which is interpreted Field of Blood. ²⁰ For it is written, in the book of Psalms: Let his habitation be desolate, and let no resident be in it; and let another take his service.

²⁰ For it is written, in the book of Psalms: Let his habitation be desolate, and let no resident be in it; and let another take his service. ²¹ It should therefore be, that one of these persons, who have been with us all the time that our Lord Jesus went in and out with us, ²² commencing from the baptism of John, unto the day he was taken up from us, should be, with us, a witness of his resurrection.

²⁵ that he should take part in this ministry and legateship, from which Judas broke away, that he might go to his own place. ²⁶ And they cast lots, and it came upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven legates.

¹ And when the days of pentecost were fully come, while they were all assembled together,

¹ And when the days of pentecost were fully come, while they were all assembled together, ² suddenly there was a sound from heaven, as of a violent wind; and the whole house where they were sitting was filled with it. ³ And there appeared to them tongues, which were divided like flame; and they rested upon each of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in diverse languages, as the Spirit gave them to speak.

⁷ And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another: All these who speak behold, are they not Galileans?

¹⁴ And afterwards Simon Cephas rose up, with the eleven legates, and elevated his voice, and said to them: Men, Jews, and all ye that reside at Jerusalem; be this known to you, and hearken ye to my words.

¹⁶ But this is what was spoken by Joel the prophet: ¹⁷ It shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons shall prophesy, and your daughters and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. ¹⁸ And upon: my servants and my handmaids will I pour my Spirit, in those days, and they shall prophesy. ¹⁹ And I will give signs in heaven, and prodigies on earth, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. ²⁰ And the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and fearful day of the Lord come. ²¹ And it shall be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord, shall live. ²² Men, sons of Israel, hear ye these words: Jesus the Nazarean, a man made manifest among you by God, by those deeds of power and prodigies which God wrought among you by his hand, as ye yourselves know; ²³ him, being hereto appointed by the prescience and the good pleasure of God, ye have delivered into the hands of the wicked; and have crucified and slain.

²⁹ Men, brethren, I may speak to you explicitly of the patriarch David, that he died, and also was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this day. ³⁰ For he was a prophet, and he knew, that God had sworn to him by an oath: Of the fruit of thy bowels, I will seat one on thy throne. ³¹ And he foresaw, and spoke of the resurrection of Messiah, that he was not left in the grave, neither did his body see corruption. ³² This Jesus hath God resuscitated; and we all are his witnesses. ³³ And he it is, who is exalted by the right hand of God, and hath received from the Father a promise respecting the Holy Spirit, and hath sent this gift which, lo, ye see and hear.

³⁷ And when they heard these things, they were agitated in their heart; and they said to Simon and to the rest of the legates: Brethren, what shall we do? ³⁸ Simon said to them: Repent, and be baptized every one of you, in the name of the Lord Jesus, for the remission of sins; so that ye may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁴² And they persevered in the doctrine of the legates; and were associated together in prayer, and in breaking the eucharist.

⁴⁶ And they continued daily in the temple, with one soul: and at home, they broke bread and took food rejoicing, and in the simplicity of their heart.

¹ And it occurred, as Simon Cephas and John went together up to the temple, at the time of prayer, being the ninth hour, ² that, lo, those accustomed to bring a man lame from his mother's womb, brought him and laid him at the gate of the temple called Beautiful; that he might ask alms of those going into the temple. ³ This man, when he saw Simon and John going into the temple, asked them to give him alms. ⁴ And Simon and John looked on him, and said to him: Look on us. ⁵ And he looked on them, expecting to receive something from them. ⁶ Simon said to him: Gold and silver, I have not; but what I have, I give to thee; in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, the Nazarean, rise up and walk. ⁷ And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and forthwith, his feet and his heels recovered strength. ⁸ And he sprang, stood up, and walked: and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. ⁹ And all the people saw him, as he walked and praised God. ¹⁰ And they knew that he was the beggar, who sat daily and asked alms, at the gate called Beautiful: and they were filled with wonder and admiration at what had occurred.

¹² And when Simon saw it, he answered and said to them: Men, sons of Israel, why do ye wonder at this? or why do ye gaze on us, as if by our own power or authority we had made this man to walk?

¹⁵ And that Prince of life ye slew; and him, hath God raised from the dead, and all of us are witnesses of it.

¹³ And when they heard the speech of Simon and John, which they pronounced confidently, they reflected that these were unlearned and plebeian men, and they were surprised at them, and recognized them as having been conversant with Jesus.

¹⁹ Simon Cephas and John answered, and said to them: Whether it be right before God, that we hearken to you more than to God, judge ye.

²⁴ And they, when they heard it, unitedly lifted up their voice to God and said: Lord, thou art God, who hast made heaven, and earth, and seas, and every thing in them. ²⁵ And it is thou who hast said, by the Holy Spirit in the mouth of David thy servant: Why do the nations rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

²⁵ And it is thou who hast said, by the Holy Spirit in the mouth of David thy servant: Why do the nations rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? ²⁶ The kings of the earth and the potentates stood up, and they consulted together, against the Lord, and against his anointed.

²⁶ The kings of the earth and the potentates stood up, and they consulted together, against the Lord, and against his anointed. ²⁷ For, in reality, against thy holy Son Jesus whom thou hast anointed, Herod and Pilate, with the Gentiles and the congregation of Israel, have been combined together in this city,

²⁷ For, in reality, against thy holy Son Jesus whom thou hast anointed, Herod and Pilate, with the Gentiles and the congregation of Israel, have been combined together in this city, ²⁸ to do whatever thy hand and thy pleasure previously marked out to be done.

²⁸ to do whatever thy hand and thy pleasure previously marked out to be done. ²⁹ And also now, Lord, behold and see their menaces: and grant to thy servants, that they may proclaim thy word boldly, ³⁰ while thou extendest thy hand for cures and prodigies, to be done in the name of thy holy Son Jesus. ³¹ And when they had prayed and made supplications, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God boldly.

³³ And with great power, the legates testified to the resurrection of Jesus Messiah: and great grace was with them all.

³² And we are the witnesses of these things; and also the Holy Spirit, whom God giveth to them that believe in him.

⁴ and we will continue in prayer, and in the ministration of the word.

⁶ These stood before the legates; and when they had prayed, they laid the hand on them.

⁸ And Stephen was full of grace and energy; and he wrought signs and prodigies among the people.

² And he said: Men, brethren, and our fathers, hear ye. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was between the rivers, before he came to reside in Charran;

¹ And Saul was consenting and participating in his death. And there was, in that day, a great persecution against the church that was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed, except the legates, among the villages of Judaea and likewise among the Samaritans.

⁵ And Philip went down to a city of the Samaritans, and preached concerning the Messiah. ⁶ And when the people who were there heard his discourse, they gave ear to him, and acquiesced in all that he said; because they saw the signs which he wrought. ⁷ For many who were possessed by unclean spirits, cried with a loud voice, and came out of them: and others, who were paralytic and lame, were healed. ⁸ And there was great joy in that city. ⁹ And there was a certain man there, whose name was Simon, who had resided in that city a long time, and who seduced the people of the Samaritans by his sorceries, magnifying himself, and saying, I am a great personage. ¹⁰ And they all inclined towards him, great and small; and they said, This is the mighty power of God. ¹¹ And they acquiesced in him, because for a long time he had astonished them by his sorceries. ¹² But when they gave credence to Philip, as he preached the kingdom of God, in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah; they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed, and was baptized, and adhered to Philip. And when he saw the signs and mighty deeds which were wrought by his hand, he was surprised and astonished. ¹⁴ And when the legates at Jerusalem, heard that the people of the Samaritans had received the word of God, they sent out to them Simon Cephas and John. ¹⁵ And they went down, and prayed over them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For he was not yet on any one of them; and they had only been baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid the hand on them; and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And when Simon saw that, by the imposition of a hand of the legates, the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying: Give me also this prerogative, that he on whom I impose a hand, may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ Simon Cephas said to him: Thy money go with thee to perdition! because thou hast supposed, that the gift of God may be purchased by a worldly substance. ²¹ Thou hast no part nor lot in this faith; because thy heart is not right before God. ²² Nevertheless, repent of this thy wickedness, and entreat of God, if perhaps the guile of thy heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou art in the bitter gall and in the bonds of iniquity. ²⁴ Simon answered and said: Intercede ye with God for me, that nothing of which ye have mentioned may come upon me. ²⁵ And Simon and John, when they had testified, and had taught them the word of God, returned to Jerusalem. And they had preached in many villages of the Samaritans.

³² And it occurred, that, as Simon travelled about the cities, he came down to the saints also who dwelt in the city of Lydda. ³³ And he found a certain man whose name was 'neas, who had lain on a bed and been paralytic eight years. ³⁴ And Simon said to him: 'neas, Jesus the Messiah doth heal thee; arise, and spread thy bed. And he rose up immediately. ³⁵ And all they that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him; and they turned to God. ³⁶ And there was in the city of Joppa, a certain female disciple named Tabitha; and she was rich in good works, and in the alms which she did. ³⁷ And she fell sick in those days, and died; and they washed her, and laid her in an upper room. ³⁸ And the disciples heard that Simon was in the city of Lydda, which is near to Joppa; and they sent two men to him, to request of him that he would not delay to come to them. ³⁹ And Simon arose and went with them. And when he arrived, they conducted him to the chamber; and there were assembled around her all the widows, weeping, and showing him the tunics and the cloaks which Tabitha had given them when alive. ⁴⁰ And Simon put all the people out, and fell on his knees and prayed; and he turned to the corpse and said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Simon, she sat up. ⁴¹ And he reached to her his hand, and raised her up: and he called the saints and the widows, and presented her to them alive. ⁴² And this became known throughout the city; and many believed on our Lord. ⁴³ And he tarried in Joppa not a few days: and he lodged in the house of Simon a tanner.

³ This man distinctly saw, in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God, who came in to him and said to him: Cornelius!

⁹ And the next day, as they travelled the road and approached the city, Simon ascended the roof to pray, at the sixth hour. ¹⁰ And he became hungry, and desired to eat. And while they were providing for him, he fell into a trance. ¹¹ And he saw the heavens opened, and a certain vessel fastened at the four corners, and it was like a great sheet; and it descended from heaven to the a earth. ¹² And there were in it all fourfooted animals, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of heaven. ¹³ And a voice came to him, which said: Simon, arise, slay and eat. ¹⁴ And Simon said: Far be it, my Lord: for never have I eaten any thing unclean and polluted. ¹⁵ And again the second time, there was a voice to him: What God hath cleansed, make thou not unclean. ¹⁶ And this was done three times; and the vessel was taken up to heaven. ¹⁷ And while Simon was wondering with himself, what the vision he had seen could denote, the men who were sent by Cornelius arrived; and they inquired for the house in which Simon lodged, and came and stood at the gate of the court. ¹⁸ And there they called out, and asked if Simon who is called Cephas lodged there? ¹⁹ And while Simon was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him: Lo, three men are inquiring for thee. ²⁰ Arise, go down, and accompany them; and let not thy mind hesitate, for I have sent them. ²¹ Then Simon went down to the men, and said to them: I am he for whom ye inquire: what is the cause for which ye have come? ²² They say to him: A certain man whose name is Cornelius, a centurion fearing God, and of whom all the people of the Jews bear good report, was told in vision, by a holy angel, to send and bring thee to his house, that he might hear discourse from thee. ²³ And Simon led them in, and entertained them where he lodged. And the following day, he arose, departed, and went with them: and some of the brethren of Joppa also went with them. ²⁴ And the next day, they entered Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them: and all the kindred of his family, and also such intimate friends as he had, were assembled with him. ²⁵ And as Simon came up, Cornelius met him, and fell down worshipping at his feet. ²⁶ And Simon raised him up, and said to him: Arise; I also am a man. ²⁷ And as he talked with him, he went in, and found that many had come there. ²⁸ And he said to them: Ye know, that it is not lawful for a Jewish man, to associate with an alien who is not of his race: but God hath showed me, that I should not say of any one, that he is defiled or unclean. ²⁹ Therefore I came readily, when ye sent for me. But, I ask you, for what cause did ye send for me? ³⁰ And Cornelius said to him: It is four days ago, that, lo, I was fasting; and at the ninth hour, while I was praying in my house, a certain man stood before me, clothed in white,

³⁰ And Cornelius said to him: It is four days ago, that, lo, I was fasting; and at the ninth hour, while I was praying in my house, a certain man stood before me, clothed in white, ³¹ and said to me: Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and there remembrance of thy alms before God. ³² But send to the city of Joppa, and bring Simon who is called Cephas: lo, he lodgeth in the house of Simon the tanner, which is by the side of the sea. And he will come and converse with thee. ³³ And immediately I sent to thee; and thou hast done well to come: and lo, we are all of us before thee, and desirous to hear whatever is commanded thee from God.

³⁸ concerning Jesus, who was of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power. And he it was, who went about and healed those that were suffering from evil, because God was with him.

³⁸ concerning Jesus, who was of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power. And he it was, who went about and healed those that were suffering from evil, because God was with him. ³⁹ And we are his witnesses, as to whatever he did in all the region of Judaea and in Jerusalem. This same person the Jews hanged on a tree, and slew him. ⁴⁰ And him did God raise up, on the third day; and caused him to be seen with naked eyes;

⁴⁰ And him did God raise up, on the third day; and caused him to be seen with naked eyes; ⁴¹ not indeed by all the people, but by us, who were chosen of God to be his witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead.

⁴¹ not indeed by all the people, but by us, who were chosen of God to be his witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead.

⁴¹ not indeed by all the people, but by us, who were chosen of God to be his witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead. ⁴² And he commanded us to proclaim and testify to the people, that he is appointed of God to be judge of the living and of the dead.

⁴⁵ And the circumcised brethren who came with him, were amazed and astonished, that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also.

¹⁵ And when I there commenced speaking, the Holy Spirit overshadowed them, as it did us from the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the word of our Lord, when he said: John baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

² And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. ³ And when he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded also to arrest Simon Cephas. And the days of unleavened bread were then passing.

¹⁷ And he beckoned to them with the hand to be still; and he went in, and related to them how the Lord had released him from the prison. And he said to them: Tell these things to James and to the brethren. And he went out, and departed to another place.

²⁵ And Barnabas and Saul, after they had completed their ministration, returned from Jerusalem to Antioch. And they took with them John, who was surnamed Mark.

² And while they were fasting and making supplication to God, the Holy Spirit said to them: Separate to me Saul and Barnabas, for the work to which I have called them. ³ And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid the hand on them, and sent them away.

¹⁵ And after the law had been read, and the prophets, the Elders of the synagogue sent to them, and said: Men, brethren, if ye have a word of exhortation, address the people.

¹⁹ And he extirpated seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land for an inheritance.

²⁴ And, before his advent, he sent John to proclaim the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ And while John was fulfilling his ministry, he said: Who, suppose ye, that I am? I am not he. But lo, he cometh after me; of whom I am not worthy to untie his shoe-strings. ²⁶ Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and all who, with you, fear God, to you is this word of life sent. ²⁷ For, those inhabitants of Jerusalem and their chiefs, did not apprehend it; neither did they apprehend also the writings of the prophets, which are read every sabbath; but they condemned him, and fulfilled all the things written. ²⁸ And while they found no ground for his death, they desired of Pilate that they might kill him. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre.

³¹ And he was seen many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem; and they are now his witnesses to the people.

³³ lo, God hath fulfilled it to us their children, in that he raised up Jesus; as it is written in the second psalm: Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

³⁸ Know therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you.

²³ And they established for them Elders in each church, while they fasted with them, and prayed, and commended them to our Lord in whom they believed.

⁷ And when there had been much discussion, Simon arose and said to them: Men, brethren, ye know that, from the earlier days, God chose that from my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and should believe.

⁷ And when there had been much discussion, Simon arose and said to them: Men, brethren, ye know that, from the earlier days, God chose that from my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and should believe. ⁸ And God, who knoweth what is in hearts, bore testimony concerning them, and gave the Holy Spirit to them, even as to us.

⁸ And God, who knoweth what is in hearts, bore testimony concerning them, and gave the Holy Spirit to them, even as to us. ⁹ And he made no distinction between them and us; because he purified their hearts by faith. ¹⁰ And now, why tempt ye God, by putting a yoke on the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we could bear? ¹¹ But we believe, that we as well as they, are to have life by the grace of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

¹³ And after they ceased, James arose and said: Men, brethren, hearken to me.

²² Then the legates and Elders, with all the church, chose men from among themselves, and sent them to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Jude, who was called Barsabas, and Silas, men who were chiefs among the brethren.

²⁶ And of one blood hath he made the whole world of men, that they might dwell on the face of all the earth: and he hath separated the seasons by his ordinance; and hath set bounds to the residence of men:

⁴ Paul said to them: John baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, while he told them to believe in him who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus the Messiah.

⁸ And there were many lamps burning in the chamber where we were assembled.

²⁴ But my life is accounted by me as nothing, so that I may but finish my course, and the ministration which I have received from our Lord Jesus, to bear testimony to the gospel of the grace of God.

¹⁹ And we gave them salutation: and Paul narrated to them, with particularity what God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. ²⁰ And when they heard it they glorified God. And they said to him: Our brother, Thou seest how many myriads there are in Judaea who have believed: and these are all zealous for the law.

⁴⁰ And when he permitted him, Paul stood upon the stairs, and waved to them his hand; and when they were quiet, he addressed them in Hebrew, and said to them:

¹ Brethren, and fathers, hearken to my defence before you.

¹⁵ And thou shalt be a witness for him before all men, concerning all that thou hast seen and heard.

¹ And when Paul had looked on the assembly of them, he said: Men, my brethren; I have lived in all good conscience before God up to this day.

⁶ And, as Paul knew that a part of the people were of the Sadducees, and a part of the Pharisees, he cried out, in the assembly: Men, my brethren; I am a Pharisee the son of a Pharisee; and for the hope of the resurrection of the dead, I am judged.

¹⁷ And after three days, Paul sent and called for the principal Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, my brethren, although I had in nothing risen up against the people or the law of my fathers, I was at Jerusalem delivered over in bonds to the Romans:

²⁵ And they went out from him, disagreeing among themselves. And Paul addressed to them this speech: Well did the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of Isaiah the prophet, speak concerning your fathers,

³¹ And he preached concerning the kingdom of God, and taught boldly concerning our Lord Jesus Messiah, without hinderance. Completion of the Acts of the blessed Legates; that is, their Histories.

⁵ by whom we have received grace, and a mission among all the Gentiles, to the end that they may obey the faith in his name;

²⁷ and the explorer of hearts, he knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit; because he prayeth for the saints, agreeably to the good pleasure of God.

¹⁸ But I say: Have they not heard? And, lo, their proclamation hath gone out into all the earth; and their words to the ends of the world.

¹² Be joyful in your hope. Be patient under your afflictions. Be persevering in prayer.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God, is not food and drink; but is 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 I have made a circuit quite to Illyricum, and have fulfilled the announcement of the Messiah;

² And if I have not been a legate to others, yet I have been so to you; and ye are the seal of my legateship.

¹³ For all of us, likewise, by one Spirit, have been baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or free; and all of us have drinked in one Spirit.

⁵ and that he was seen by Cephas; and after him, by the twelve: ⁶ and after that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once; many of whom survive at the present time, and some of them sleep.

⁶ and after that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once; many of whom survive at the present time, and some of them sleep. ⁷ And subsequently to this, he was seen by James; and after him, by all the legates.

⁷ And subsequently to this, he was seen by James; and after him, by all the legates.

¹ Therefore, we are not weary in this ministry which we have received, according to the mercies that have been upon us:

¹⁸ and all things are made new, by God; who hath reconciled us to himself by the Messiah, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.

¹ PAUL, a legate, not from men, nor by man, but by Jesus the Messiah, and God his Father, who raised him from the dead;

¹⁹ But others of the legates I saw not, except James, our Lord's brother.

⁸ For he that was operative with Cephas in the legateship of the circumcision, was also operative with me in the legateship of the Gentiles. ⁹ And James, Cephas, and John, who were accounted pillars, when they perceived the grace that was given to me, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship; that we should labor among the Gentiles, and they among the circumcision.

¹⁰ in the dispensation of the fullness of times; that all things might again be made new in the Messiah, things in heaven and things on earth.

²⁰ And ye are built upon the foundations of the legates and the prophets; and Jesus the Messiah hath become the head of the corner in the edifice.

⁸ Wherefore it is said: He ascended on high, and carried captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.

⁸ Wherefore it is said: He ascended on high, and carried captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. ⁹ Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also previously descended to the interior regions of the earth?

⁹ Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also previously descended to the interior regions of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended, is also the same that ascended up, high above all the heavens, that he might fulfill all things.

¹⁰ He who descended, is also the same that ascended up, high above all the heavens, that he might fulfill all things. ¹¹ And he gave some, legates; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers: ¹² for perfecting the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of the Messiah;

¹⁸ And pray ye, with all prayers and supplications, in spirit, at all times: and in prayer be watchful, at all seasons, praying constantly, and interceding for all the saints:

¹³ and hath rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son;

²³ provided ye continue in your faith, your foundation being firm, and ye be not removed from the hope of the gospel; of which ye have heard, that it is proclaimed in all the creation beneath heaven; of which gospel I Paul am a minister.

² Persevere in prayer; and be watchful in it, and in giving thanks.

¹⁰ while ye wait for his Son from heaven, that Jesus whom he raised from the dead, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

¹² and we charged you, to walk as it becometh God, who hath called you to his kingdom and his glory.

¹⁶ Because our Lord will himself descend from heaven, with the mandate, and with the voice of the chief angel, and with the trump of God; and the dead who are in the Messiah, will first arise;

¹ But concerning the times and seasons, my brethren, ye need not that I write to you: ² for ye know assuredly, that the day of our Lord so cometh, as a thief by night.

⁷ and you, who are the troubled, he will vivify, with us, at the manifestation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah from heaven, with the host of his angels; ⁸ when he will execute vengeance, with the burning of fire, on them that know not God, and on them that acknowledge not the gospel of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ⁹ For these will be recompensed with the judgment of eternal destruction, from the presence of our Lord, and from the glory of his power; ¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to display his wonders in his faithful ones; for our testimony concerning you, will be believed, in that day.

¹⁶ and truly great, is this mystery of righteousness, which was revealed in the flesh, and justified in the spirit, and seen by angels, and proclaimed among the Gentiles, and believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

¹⁵ which God will, in due time make visible; God the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords;

¹ But this know thou, that in the latter days hard times will come:

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy, he vivified us, by the washing of the new birth, and by the renovation of the Holy Spirit,

³ how shall we escape, if we despise the things which are our life, things which began to be spoken by our Lord, and were confirmed to us by them who heard from him,

⁷ Because the Holy Spirit hath said: To-day, if ye will hear his voice, ⁸ harden not your hearts to anger him, like the provocators, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

¹³ neither is there any creature, which is concealed from before him; but every thing is naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom we are to give account.

¹⁹ which is to us as an anchor, that retaineth our soul, so that it swerveth not; and it entereth into that within the veil, ²⁰ whither Jesus hath previously entered for us, and hath become a priest for ever, after the likeness of Melchisedec.

²⁴ For the Messiah entered not into the sanctuary made with hands, which is the emblem of the true sanctuary: but he entered into heaven itself to appear in the presence of God for us.

¹ JAMES, a servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; to the twelve tribes dispersed among the Gentiles; greeting peace.

¹¹ And they searched for the time which the Spirit of the Messiah dwelling in them did show and testify, when the sufferings of the Messiah were to occur, and his subsequent glory.

²¹ For unto this were ye called; because the Messiah also died for us, and left us this pattern, that ye should walk in his steps. ²² He did no sin; neither was guile found in his mouth. ²³ When he was reviled, be reviled not; and he suffered and threatened not, but committed his cause to the Judge of righteousness.

²² who is taken up to heaven, and is on the right hand of God, and angels, and authorities, and powers, are subject to him.

³ And, in the cupidity of raving words, they will make merchandise of you: whose judgment, of a long time, is not idle; and their destruction slumbereth not. ⁴ For, if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to the infernal regions in chains of darkness, and delivered them up to be kept unto the judgment of torture, ⁵ and spared not the former world, but preserved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the wicked; ⁶ and burned up the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them by an overthrow, making them a demonstration to the wicked who should come after them;

¹⁵ and, having left the way of rectitude, they have wandered and gone in the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of iniquity, ¹⁶ and who had for the reprover of his transgression a dumb ass, which, speaking with the speech of men, rebuked the madness of the prophet.

²¹ For it would have been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, than after having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was delivered to them.

² that ye may be mindful of the words which were formerly spoken by the holy prophets, and of the injunction of our Lord and Redeemer by the hand of the legates:

¹ WE announce to you that, which was from the beginning, which we have heard, and have seen with our eyes, looked upon, and handled with our hands, that which is the word of life.

¹ WE announce to you that, which was from the beginning, which we have heard, and have seen with our eyes, looked upon, and handled with our hands, that which is the word of life. ² And the life was manifested, and we have seen and do testify and announce to you, the life which is eternal; which was with the Father, and was revealed to us. ³ And what we have seen and heard, we make known to you also, that ye may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus the Messiah. ⁴ And these things we write to you, that our joy in you may be complete. ⁵ And this is the announcement, which we have heard from him and declare to you, that God is light, and no darkness at all is in him.

¹ THE Elder, to Kuria the elect, and to her children: whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but all they who know the truth; ² for the sake of the truth, which abideth in us and is with us for ever. ³ May grace be with you, and mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. ⁴ I have rejoiced greatly, that I found some of thy children, who walked in the truth, as we have received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now, I beseech thee, Kuria, (I write no new commandment to thee, but that which was with us from the beginning,) that we should love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we walk according to the commandment. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, that we should walk in it. ⁷ Because many seducers have gone forth into the world, who confess not that Jesus the Messiah hath come in the flesh. This is a seducer and Antichrist. ⁸ Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not what ye have wrought; but that ye may be recompensed with a full reward. ⁹ Every one who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Messiah, God is not in him. And he who abideth in his doctrine, he hath the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, entertain him not in your house, nor say to him, Joy to thee: ¹¹ for he that saith to him, Joy to thee, is a participator in his evil deeds. ¹² Having many things I could write to you, I would not with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and to converse mouth to mouth, that our joy may be complete. ¹³ The children of thy elect sister salute thee. Grace be with you. Amen.

¹ THE Elder, to my beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. ² Our beloved; in all things, I pray for thee that thou mayest prosper and be in health, as thy soul doth prosper. ³ For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified concerning thy integrity, even as thou walkest in the truth. ⁴ And I have no greater joy, than to hear that my children walk in the truth. ⁵ Our beloved, thou doest in faith, what thou performest towards the brethren; and especially towards strangers, ⁶ who have borne testimony to thy charity before the whole church, to whom thou doest good, as is pleasing to God. ⁷ For they went forth in behalf of his name, taking nothing of the Gentiles. ⁸ We therefore ought to receive such persons, that we may be aiders of the truth. ⁹ I was desirous of writing to the church; but he who loveth to be foremost among them, Diotrephes, receiveth us not. ¹⁰ Therefore, if he come, remember those his doings, that he treated us with malignant words; and this not sufficing him, he received not the brethren; and those who would receive them, he prohibited, and even ejected them from the church. ¹¹ Our beloved, be not a follower of what is evil, but of what is good. He that doeth good, is of God; but he that doeth evil, hath not seen God. ¹² Of Demetrius, there is good testimony from every one, and from the church, and from the truth itself: and we also bear him testimony, and ye know that our testimony is true. ¹³ I had many things to write to thee; but I will not write them to thee with ink and pen. ¹⁴ { But I hope soon to see thee, and to converse mouth to mouth. [ (III John 1:15) Peace be with thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends, severally, by name. ]}

¹ JUDE, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, and the brother of James, to the called people, the beloved of God the Father, the preserved by Jesus the Messiah :

⁶ And the angels that kept not their primacy, but left their station, he hath reserved in chains unknown, under darkness, unto the judgment of the great day. ⁷ As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the surrounding cities, which in like manner followed whoredom and went after strange flesh, are placed beneath everlasting fire, being, doomed to judgment.

¹ THE Revelation of Jesus the Messiah, which God gave to him, to show to his servants the things that must shortly occur: and he signified it by sending, through his angel, to his servant John; ² who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus the Messiah, as to all that he saw. ³ Blessed is he that readeth, and they who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is near.
