⁵ There was a man there who had had an infirmity thirty-eight years. ⁶ Jesus saw this man lying there and perceiving that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to get well?"

²⁵ Truly, truly, I tell you that the hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

²⁸ Do not wonder at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice ²⁹ and will come forth — those who have done good to a resurrection of life and those who have done evil to a resurrection of condemnation.

⁴¹ I do not accept honor from men,

⁴⁴ You are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to practice. He was a murderer from the beginning, and did not stand in the truth; for truth is not in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks out of his own; for he is a liar and the father of it.

³ So the sisters sent to Jesus, saying, "Master, he whom you love is sick."

¹¹ He said this, and then he said to them, "Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him." ¹² The disciples said to him, "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover." ¹³ But Jesus had spoken of his death. They thought that he was speaking of the repose of sleep.

²¹ Martha said to Jesus, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, "I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in me even though he dies will live,

²⁸ Having said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying to her privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."

³² When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died."

³⁹ Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Master, he is already offensive, for he has been dead four days." ⁴⁰ Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?"

⁴³ After saying this he called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth." ⁴⁴ Forth came the dead man, swathed feet and hands in grave-clothes and his face bound up in a handkerchief. Jesus said, "Loose him and let him go."

³¹ But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life through his name.

¹⁰ and when they recognized that it was he who had sat begging at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple court, they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. ¹¹ While he still clung to Peter and John, all the people ran crowding around them in what was called Solomon's Colonnade, greatly astonished. ¹² Peter, seeing the people, explained, "Fellow Israelites, why do you wonder at this, or why do you gaze so at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk? ¹³ The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus whom you delivered up and disowned before Pilate when he had decided to release him.

²² For the man upon whom this miracle of healing had been performed was more than forty years old.

¹⁵ so that they carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on couches and pallets with the hope that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some one of them.

⁶ These they presented before the apostles, who after prayer laid their hands upon them.

³⁶ As they were going along the road they came to water, and the eunuch said, "Here is water. What is there to hinder my being baptized?"

¹⁷ Ananias went and entered the house and put his hands on Saul, and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me — Jesus who appeared to you on the road as you were coming — that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

³³ He found there a man named Aeneas who had been for eight years lying on a pallet, for he was a paralytic. ³⁴ Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ is healing you. Rise up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.

³⁹ Peter arose and went along with them. On his arrival they took him up to the room. All of the widows came around him wailing and showing the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was with them. ⁴⁰ Peter sent them all out and kneeling down he prayed. Then turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, rise." She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.

⁴⁰ Peter sent them all out and kneeling down he prayed. Then turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, rise." She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up. ⁴¹ Giving her his hand he raised her to her feet. Then calling the holy and the widows he presented her to them alive.

²⁵ As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and falling at his feet did him reverence. ²⁶ But Peter lifted him up, saying, "Stand up; I myself also am a man."

³⁸ You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were harassed by the Devil, for God was with him.

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

¹⁵ After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue directors sent to them saying, "Brethren, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, speak it."

⁹ He was listening to Paul as he was speaking. Paul fixed his eyes on him, and, seeing that he had faith to be healed,

¹⁷ She followed Paul and us and kept calling out, "These men are servants of God Most High, and they are teaching you the way of salvation." ¹⁸ This she kept doing for many days. Paul was annoyed, and turning he said to the spirit, "I tell you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her," and it came out at that very moment.

³⁹ and came and begged them, and after leading them out requested them to leave the city.

³² When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some sneered; others said, "We will hear you again about this."

⁸ Crispus, the synagogue Director, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard believed and were baptized.

¹⁷ Then they laid hold of Sosthenes, the synagogue Director, and beat him right in front of the judge's seat. But Gallio cared for none of these things.

¹² so that handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched his body were carried to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits departed. ¹³ Then some of the wandering Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke over those who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims."

¹⁰ But Paul went down and threw himself on him and embraced him and said, "Do not make a noisy wailing; for his life is still in him."

¹ "BRETHREN and Fathers, listen to the defense I now make to you." ² Hearing him speaking to them in the Hebrew language, they kept all the more quiet. He continued: ³ "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus, in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel in exact knowledge of our ancestral Law, and I was zealous for God as you all are to-day. ⁴ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prison both men and women, ⁵ as the High Priest and all the eldership can testify for me. From them I received letters to the brethren and was journeying to Damascus in order to bring back in chains to Jerusalem for punishment those who had gone there. ⁶ It happened that as I was journeying and nearing Damascus, about noon, suddenly a great light flashed from heaven around me. ⁷ I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?' ⁸ I asked, 'Who is speaking?' He said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.' ⁹ My companions saw the light, but did not hear the voice of him who spoke to me. ¹⁰ I said, 'What shall I do, Lord?' The Lord said to me, 'Rise and go into Damascus, and there you will be told about all that it has been appointed for you to do.' ¹¹ Since I could not see, owing to the brightness of that light, my companions led me by the hand, and so I entered Damascus. ¹² "Then a man named Ananias, a strict observer of the Law and highly esteemed by all the Jews who lived there, ¹³ came to see me and stood by me and said, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight,' and I, at that moment, could see him. ¹⁴ He said, 'The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One and to hear the voice from his mouth, ¹⁵ for you shall be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard. ¹⁶ And now why delay? Rise, be baptized and wash away your sins, calling upon his name.' ¹⁷ "After I had returned to Jerusalem, and was praying in the Temple courts, I fell into a trance ¹⁸ and saw Jesus saying to me, 'Hasten and depart quickly from Jerusalem, for they will not receive your testimony concerning me.' ¹⁹ But I said, 'Lord, they know that I used to imprison and beat from synagogue to synagogue those who believe in thee, ²⁰ and when the blood of Stephen thy martyr was shed I myself was standing by and approving it, and taking care of the cloaks of those who were putting him to death.' ²¹ But he said to me, 'Go, for I will send you far away to Gentiles.'

⁴ "My life from boyhood, which was from the beginning among my own nation and in Jerusalem, all Jews know. ⁵ They knew me from long ago, if they were willing to testify, and that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. ⁶ And now I stand to be tried for the hope of the promise which God made to our fathers, ⁷ to which our twelve tribes devotedly serving God night and day hope to attain. For this hope I am accused by the Jews, O King. ⁸ "Why do all of you consider it incredible if God raises dead men? ⁹ I thought with myself that I ought to do much against the name of Jesus the Nazarene. ¹⁰ And I did it in Jerusalem and many holy men I shut up in prison, getting authority from the high priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them. ¹¹ In all the synagogues and often I punished them and compelled them to say profane words. Being excessively mad against them, I pursued them even to foreign cities. ¹² "Thus engaged, as I was journeying to Damascus with authority and commission from the high priests, ¹³ about midday, on the road, I saw, O King, a light above the brightness of the sun shining from heaven around me and my companions. ¹⁴ We all fell to the ground and I heard a voice saying to me in Hebrew, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goad.' ¹⁵ I said, 'Who is speaking?' He said, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. ¹⁶ But rise and stand on your feet: for I have appeared to you for the very purpose of appointing you a servant and a witness of the times you have seen me and of the times I shall appear to you. ¹⁷ I will deliver you from your people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, ¹⁸ to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance among those who are made holy by faith in me.' ¹⁹ After that, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, ²⁰ but first to the people in Damascus and then to the people of Jerusalem and through all the land of Judaea and to the Gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God and do deeds suitable for a change of heart. ²¹ "For this reason Jews seized me in the Temple courts and tried to kill me. ²² But obtaining help from God I have continued until this day witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would be, ²³ that the Christ would suffer and that he first, by rising from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles." ²⁴ While Paul was thus defending himself, Festus said loudly, "You are raving, Paul. Much learning is driving you insane." ²⁵ "I am not insane," he said, "most noble Festus, but am uttering words of truth and soberness. ²⁶ The King knows about this, and to him I speak with perfect frankness, for I am persuaded that not one of these things has escaped his attention, for this has not been done in a corner. ²⁷ King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe them." ²⁸ Agrippa said to Paul, "With little effort you are persuading me to become a Christian." ²⁹ Paul said, "I would to God that whether with little or with much, not only you, but all who hear me this day, would become such as I am — except for these chains."

⁸ It happened that the father of Publius was lying ill with fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him.

¹⁷ (as it is written, "I have made thee a father of many nations"), in the view of the God whom he believed, who makes alive the dead and calls things that are not as if they were. ¹⁸ Abraham, when hope was past, believed in hope so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said to him, "So shall your descendants be"; ¹⁹ and without being weakened in faith he recognized his own body as dead, when he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb. ²⁰ Still he did not hesitate through want of faith in the promise of God, but was strong in faith, thus giving glory to God, ²¹ and was fully confident that what God had promised he was able to perform. ²² Therefore it was credited to him for righteousness. ²³ It was not written for his sake only, that it was credited to him, ²⁴ but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited if we believe in him who raised up from the dead Jesus our Lord,

²⁰ The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you!

³⁰ For this reason many are weak and sickly among you and a number are asleep.

¹¹ that Satan may not take advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his purposes.

¹ THIS third time I am coming to you. "By the evidence of two witnesses, or three, every matter shall be proved."

²³ I am under pressure both ways, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for it is far better, ²⁴ yet that I should stay in the flesh is more needful on your account.

²¹ He will transform the body we have in our low estate into the likeness of the body he has in glory by the power by which he can subject all things to himself.

¹³ He has saved us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

¹³ We do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding those who are sleeping, that you may not sorrow as the rest of men who have no hope. ¹⁴ For since, as we believe, Jesus died and rose, so too God will through Jesus bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

¹⁰ who died for us that whether we are waking or sleeping we may live in company with him.

⁷ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.

¹⁴ Since then the children share in blood and flesh, he himself in the same way shared in them, in order that through death he might defeat him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil,

¹ FOR, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham when he was returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,

¹⁹ You have faith that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons have that faith, and they shudder.

⁷ For every kind of wild beasts and birds and reptiles and animals from the sea is tamed and has been tamed by human kind, ⁸ but the tongue no man is able to tame. It is a restless evil; it is full of deadly poison.

¹⁴ Is any one of you sick? Let him call in the elders of the church and let them pray over him and anoint him with olive oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ The prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins they will be forgiven him.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may proclaim the virtues of him who called you from darkness into his wonderful light.

²² Now that he has gone into heaven he is at the right hand of God, and angels and authorities and powers have been made subject to him.

⁸ Be sober, watch. Your enemy the Devil, like a roaring lion, goes about seeking some one to devour.

⁴ For if God did not spare angels that had sinned, but thrust them down to Tartarus and committed them to pits of darkness to be kept for judgment,

⁸ He who is committing sin is of the Devil, for the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this the Son of God appeared — to undo the works of the Devil.

⁶ and angels who did not keep their own rank, but left their own abode, he has kept for the judgment of the great day in everlasting chains under blackness of darkness.

¹¹ They have over them a king, the angel of the abyss, whose name (Destroyer) is in Hebrew Abaddon, but in Greek Apollyon.

¹² Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you who tent in them! Alas for the land and the sea! For the Devil has gone down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has but a little time."

⁵ There was given to him a mouth speaking boasts and profanities, and there was given to him power to act for forty-two months. ⁶ He opened his mouth to insult God, to speak profanely of his name and of his Tent and of those who tent in heaven. ⁷ It was granted to the Beast to make war with the holy and to conquer them, and power was granted to him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

¹ THEN I saw an angel descending from heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. ² He laid hold of the Dragon, the ancient Serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and chained him for a thousand years ³ and flung him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he should not mislead the nations until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

⁷ When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison

⁸ I, John, am he who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me.
