¹³ The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, whom indeed you betrayed and disowned in the presence of Pilate, that one having adjudged to release Him. ¹⁴ But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and requested a murderer to be granted to you. ¹⁵ And you killed the Author of life, whom God has raised up out from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.

⁸ Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, ⁹ if we are being examined this day as to a good work to the ailing man, by what means he has been healed, ¹⁰ let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth—whom you crucified, whom God raised out from the dead—in Him this man stands before you sound.

²⁷ For in truth, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together in this city against Your holy servant Jesus whom You anointed, ²⁸ to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose had determined beforehand to happen.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, having hanged Him on a tree. ³¹ God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

²⁷ For those dwelling in Jerusalem and their rulers, not having known Him and the voices of the prophets that are being read on every Sabbath, having condemned Him, they fulfilled them. ²⁸ And having found no cause of death, they begged Pilate to put Him to death. ²⁹ And when they had finished all the things having been written about Him, having taken Him down from the tree, they put Him in a tomb.

¹ But the first day of the week, very early morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices that they had prepared, ² and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb. ³ But having entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ And it came to pass that while they are perplexed about this, behold, two men in dazzling garments stood by them; ⁵ and of them having become terrified and bowing the faces to the ground, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but He is risen! Remember how He spoke to you, being yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying, ‘It behooves the Son of Man to be delivered into hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to arise.’” ⁸ And they remembered His words. ⁹ And having returned from the tomb, they related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰ Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who were telling these things to the apostles. ¹¹ And their words appeared before them like folly, and they did not believe them.

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene comes bringing word to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.

¹ Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene comes to the tomb early, it being still dark, and she sees the stone having been removed from the tomb. ² So she runs and comes to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and she says to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.”

¹⁷ And having known, He says to them, “Why do you reason because you have no loaves? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Do you have your heart hardened? ¹⁸ ‘Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?’ And do you not remember?

¹⁹ And answering him He says, “O unbelieving generation! Until when will I be with you? Until when will I bear with you? Bring him to Me.”

¹⁴ And afterward, as they were reclining, He appeared to the eleven and rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those having seen Him arisen.

¹¹ Concerning this there is much speech from us, and difficult in interpretation to speak, since you have become sluggish in the hearings. ¹² For even by the time you ought to be teachers, you have need of one to teach you again what is the beginning of the principles of the oracles of God; and you have become those having need of milk, and not of solid food.

⁷ saying, ‘It behooves the Son of Man to be delivered into hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to arise.’”

⁴⁴ And He said unto to them, “These are my words, which I spoke to you being still with you, that all things having been written concerning Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms, it behooves to be fulfilled.”

⁴⁶ And He said to them, “Thus it has been written: The Christ was to suffer and to rise out from the dead on the third day,

³ opening and setting forth that it behooved the Christ to have suffered and to have risen out from the dead, and that “this Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.”

³ For I delivered to you in the foremost what also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, ⁴ and that He was buried, and that He was raised the third day according to the Scriptures,

⁸ You have put in subjection all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing unsubject to him. But at present not yet do we see all things having been subjected to him. ⁹ But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, because of the suffering of death, having been crowned with glory and with honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. ¹⁰ For it was fitting to Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, having brought many sons to glory, to make perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.

²² And almost all things are purified with blood according to the Law, and apart from blood-shedding there is no forgiveness. ²³ Therefore it was necessary indeed for the representations of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

² looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who in view of the joy lying before Him endured the cross, having despised its shame, and sat down at right hand of the throne of God.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the One according to His great mercy having begotten us again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out from the dead,

¹¹ inquiring into what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them was signifying, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ and the glories after these,

⁴⁵ Philip Finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found Him whom Moses wrote of in the Law, also the prophets, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

³⁹ You diligently search the Scriptures because you think to have eternal life in them, and these are they bearing witness concerning Me;

⁴⁵ Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one accusing you: Moses, in whom you have hoped. ⁴⁶ For if you were believing Moses, you would have believed Me; for he wrote concerning Me. ⁴⁷ And unless you believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

²² For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up to you a prophet like me out from your brothers. You will listen to Him in all things, as many as He might say to you.

²⁴ And also all the prophets from Samuel, and those subsequently, as many as have spoken, also have proclaimed these days.

³⁷ This is the Moses having said to the sons of Israel, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me out from your brothers.’

⁴³ To Him all the prophets bear witness that everyone believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”

²⁷ For those dwelling in Jerusalem and their rulers, not having known Him and the voices of the prophets that are being read on every Sabbath, having condemned Him, they fulfilled them. ²⁸ And having found no cause of death, they begged Pilate to put Him to death. ²⁹ And when they had finished all the things having been written about Him, having taken Him down from the tree, they put Him in a tomb. ³⁰ But God raised Him out from the dead,

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, “See that you not do this. I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers, holding the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

⁴⁸ And He having seen them straining in the rowing—for the wind was contrary to them—about the fourth watch of the night, He comes to them, walking on the sea, and He was wishing to pass by them.

²³ And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled.

¹⁴ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to attend to the things being spoken by Paul.

¹⁹ And having commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. And having broken, He gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.

³⁶ having taken the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks, He broke them and kept giving them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

²⁶ Now as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread and having blessed it, broke it, and having given it to the disciples, He said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

⁴¹ And having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to the heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves, and He kept giving them to His disciples, that they might set before them. And He divided the two fish among all.

⁶ And He directs the crowd to recline on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, He broke them and kept giving them to His disciples, that they might set before them. And they set it before the crowd.

²² And as they were eating, having taken bread, having spoken a blessing, He broke it and gave it to them and said, “Take it; this is My body.”

¹⁶ And having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to the heaven, He blessed and broke them, and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

¹⁹ And having taken the bread, having given thanks, He broke it and gave to them, saying, “This is My body, which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me,”

³⁵ And they began relating the things on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those reclining; likewise also of the fish, as much as they wished.

³⁵ Now having said these things and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all; and having broken it, he began to eat.

³⁰ But He, having passed through their midst, went away.

¹⁶ But their eyes were held not to know Him.

⁵⁹ Therefore they took up stones, that they might cast at Him; but Jesus hid Himself, and went forth out of the temple.

¹³ And they say to her, “Woman, why do you weep?” She says to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.” ¹⁴ Having said these things, she turned back around, and she sees Jesus standing there, and she had not known that it is Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus says to her, “Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek?” Thinking that it is the gardener, she says to Him, “Sir, if you have carried Him off, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” ¹⁶ Jesus says to her, “Mary.” Having turned around, she says to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni,” that is to say, “Teacher.”

⁴⁵ Then He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures.

⁶³ It is the Spirit giving life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life.

² And according to the custom with Paul, he went in to them and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, ³ opening and setting forth that it behooved the Christ to have suffered and to have risen out from the dead, and that “this Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.”

²³ Then having appointed him a day, many came to him to the lodging, to whom he expounded from morning to evening, fully testifying to the kingdom of God and persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets.

¹² For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even as far as the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrows, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

¹³ And they having gone, told it to the rest; neither did they believe them.

¹⁹ Therefore it being evening the same day, the first of the week, and the doors where the disciples were having been shut through the fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and He says to them, “Peace to you.” ²⁰ And having said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced, having seen the Lord. ²¹ Therefore Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent Me forth, I also send you.” ²² And having said this, He breathed on them and He says to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. ²³ If you might forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you might retain any, they are retained.” ²⁴ But Thomas, one of the Twelve, the one called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hands into His side, I will never believe.” ²⁶ And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them, the doors having been shut. Jesus comes, and He stood in the midst and said, “Peace to you.”

¹⁴ All these were steadfastly continuing with one accord in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

⁷ But go, say to His disciples and to Peter that He goes before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”

⁵⁴ And having seized Him, they led Him away, and led Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter was following afar off. ⁵⁵ And they having kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting among them. ⁵⁶ And a certain servant girl, having seen him sitting by the light, and having looked intently on him, said, “This one also was with Him.” ⁵⁷ But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.” ⁵⁸ And after a little, having seen him, another was saying, “You also are of them.” But Peter was saying, “Man, I am not.” ⁵⁹ And about one hour having elapsed, a certain other strongly affirmed it, saying, “Of a truth, this one also was with Him; for he is also a Galilean.” ⁶⁰ But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you say.” And immediately while he was speaking, the rooster crowed. ⁶¹ And having turned, the Lord looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.” ⁶² And having gone forth outside, he wept bitterly.

⁵ and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.

³⁰ And it came to pass in His reclining with them, having taken the bread, He blessed it; and having broken it, He began giving it to them. ³¹ And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him. And He being seen, vanished from them.

⁴² Now they were steadfastly continuing in the teaching of the apostles, and in the fellowship, in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers.

¹³ And if indeed the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

⁵ And into whatever house you might enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’

²⁷ Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it fear.

³³ I have spoken these things to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world.”

¹⁹ Therefore it being evening the same day, the first of the week, and the doors where the disciples were having been shut through the fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and He says to them, “Peace to you.” ²⁰ And having said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced, having seen the Lord. ²¹ Therefore Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent Me forth, I also send you.” ²² And having said this, He breathed on them and He says to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. ²³ If you might forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you might retain any, they are retained.”

²⁶ And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them, the doors having been shut. Jesus comes, and He stood in the midst and said, “Peace to you.”

¹⁶ Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace through all, in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

⁴ John, To the seven churches in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him being and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits before His throne,

²⁶ And the disciples having seen Him walking on the sea, were troubled saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. ²⁷ But immediately Jesus spoke to them saying, “Take courage! It is I. Fear not.”

⁴⁹ And having seen Him walking on the sea, they thought that it is a ghost, and cried out. ⁵⁰ For all saw Him and were troubled. And immediately He spoke with them, and says to them, “Take courage; I am He; fear not.”

³⁰ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.’

¹⁵ But they said to her, “You are out of your mind.” But she kept insisting it to be so. And they kept saying, “It is his angel.”

⁸ But having known this, Jesus said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you did not take bread?

¹³ And there is no creature hidden before Him, but all things are uncovered and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom is our reckoning.

⁴⁶ And having called out in a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And having said this, He breathed His last.

²⁰ And having said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced, having seen the Lord.

²⁵ So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hands into His side, I will never believe.”

²⁷ Then He says to Thomas, “Bring your finger here, and see My hands; and bring your hand, and put it into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.”

³ to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering with many proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God.

²³ Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved, entirely blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ Furthermore indeed, we have had fathers of our flesh, correctors, and we respected them; and shall we not much more be in subjection to the Father of spirits and shall live?

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—

²² Therefore you also indeed have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

⁵ Therefore Jesus says to them, “Children do you have any food?” They answered Him, “No.”

¹⁰ Jesus says to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have now caught.” ¹¹ Therefore Simon Peter went up and drew the net to the land, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three. Although there are so many, the net was not torn. ¹² Jesus says to them, “Come, have breakfast.” But none of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it is the Lord. ¹³ Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish likewise.

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to the witnesses having been chosen beforehand by God, to us who did eat with and drink with Him after His rising out from the dead.

⁵⁴ How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?”

⁵⁶ And all this is come to pass, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then the disciples all, having forsaken Him, fled.

³¹ And He began to teach them that it is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again. ³² And He was speaking openly the word. And Peter having taken Him to him, began to rebuke Him.

³¹ for He was teaching His disciples. And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and having been killed, on the third day He will arise.”

³¹ And having taken aside the Twelve, He said to them, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things having been written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished. ³² For He will be betrayed to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon. ³³ And having flogged Him, they will kill Him; and on the third day He will rise again.” ³⁴ And they understood none of these things, and this word was hidden from them, and they did not know the things being spoken.

²² For these are the days of avenging, to fulfill all things having been written.

³⁷ For I say to you that this which has been written, it behooves to be accomplished in Me: ‘And He was reckoned with the lawless.’ For also the things concerning Me have an end.”

⁶ He is not here, but He is risen! Remember how He spoke to you, being yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying, ‘It behooves the Son of Man to be delivered into hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to arise.’”

²⁶ Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” ²⁷ And having begun from Moses and from all the Prophets, He interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus it behooves the Son of Man to be lifted up,

⁴⁶ For if you were believing Moses, you would have believed Me; for he wrote concerning Me.

⁴ But I have said these things to you, so that when their hour might have come, you may remember that I said them to you. Now I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ But now I go to the One having sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

¹⁶ A little while and you behold Me no longer; and again a little while and you will see Me.” ¹⁷ Therefore some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while and you do not behold Me; and again a little while and you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”

¹¹ And I am no longer in the world, and yet they are themselves in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, which You have given Me, that they may be one as we are. ¹² When I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, which You have given Me. And I guarded them, and none of them has perished, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ But now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.

²⁴ Therefore they said to one another, “Let us not tear it up, but let us cast lots for it, whose it will be,” that Scripture might be fulfilled that said: “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast a lot.” So indeed the soldiers did these things. ²⁵ Now His mother, and the sister of His mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene, had been standing by the cross of Jesus. ²⁶ Therefore Jesus, having seen His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing by, says to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” ²⁷ Then He says to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her to the own. ²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that now all things had been accomplished, so that Scripture might be fulfilled, says, “I thirst.” ²⁹ A vessel full of sour wine had been set there. So having put on a stalk of hyssop a sponge filled with sour wine, they brought it to the mouth. ³⁰ Therefore when Jesus took the sour wine, He said “It has been finished.” And having bowed the head, He yielded up the spirit. ³¹ Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation, so that bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath—for that Sabbath was a high day—asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and they might be taken away. ³² So the soldiers came, and indeed they broke the legs of the first, and of the other having been crucified with Him. ³³ But having come to Jesus, when they saw Him already having been dead, they did not break His legs. ³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and blood and water came out immediately. ³⁵ And the one having seen has borne witness, and his testimony is true. And He knows that he is speaking truth, so that you also might believe. ³⁶ For these things took place so that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one bone of Him will be broken.” ³⁷ And again, another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”

¹⁸ But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ should suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

²² For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up to you a prophet like me out from your brothers. You will listen to Him in all things, as many as He might say to you. ²³ And it will be that every soul who might not heed that prophet will be utterly destroyed out from the people.’ ²⁴ And also all the prophets from Samuel, and those subsequently, as many as have spoken, also have proclaimed these days.

²⁹ And when they had finished all the things having been written about Him, having taken Him down from the tree, they put Him in a tomb. ³⁰ But God raised Him out from the dead, ³¹ who appeared for many days to those having come up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now His witnesses to the people.

³³ that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also it has been written in the second psalm: ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten you.’

⁵ And indeed Moses was faithful as a servant in all His house, unto a testimony of the things going to be spoken,

¹ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and having blessed him,

⁸ By this the Holy Spirit was signifying that the way into the holy places has not yet been made manifest, the first tabernacle still having a standing,

¹ For the Law, having a shadow of the good things coming, not the form of the things themselves, never is able each year, with the same sacrifices which they offer continually, to perfect those drawing near.

³² And they said to one another, “Was not our heart burning within us as He was speaking with us on the road, as He was opening the Scriptures to us?”

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those having been sanctified by faith in Me.’

¹⁴ But their minds were hardened; for until the present day, the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant, not being lifted, which is being removed in Christ. ¹⁵ But unto this day, when Moses shall be read, a veil lies over their heart. ¹⁶ But whenever one shall have turned to the Lord, the veil is taken away. ¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. ¹⁸ And we all having been unveiled in face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so as for not to beam forth the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. ⁵ For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord; and ourselves as your servants for the sake of Jesus. ⁶ For it is God, having said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” who shone in our hearts for the radiance of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ Therefore it says: “Awake you, the one sleeping, and rise up out from the dead, and Christ will shine upon you.”

²⁰ Now we know that the Son of God is come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

⁷ And to the messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy One, the True One, having the key of David, the One opening and no one will shut, and shutting and no one opens.

¹² And there is salvation in no other, for there is not another name under heaven having been given among men, by which it behooves us to be saved.”

² and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.”

¹⁰ And Jesus having heard, marveled and said to those following, “Truly I say to you, no one in Israel with faith so great have I found. ¹¹ And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and will recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens.

¹³ But having gone, learn what is, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

⁵ These twelve, Jesus sent forth, having instructed them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans. ⁶ But go rather to those being the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

¹⁹ Therefore having gone, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,

³⁴ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and stoning those having been sent to her, how often I have wanted to gather your children, the way that a hen gathers her brood under the wings, and you were not willing.

³⁸ And Peter says to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹ Repent, therefore, and turn again, for the blotting out of your sins,

²⁵ You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.’ ²⁶ God, having raised up His servant, sent Him first to you, blessing you in turning away each of you from your wickednesses.”

³¹ God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

⁴⁶ For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered, ⁴⁷ “Is anyone able to withhold the water to baptize these who have received the Holy Spirit, just as we also have?” ⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain some days.

¹⁸ And having heard these things, they were silent and glorified God, saying, “Then indeed God has given also to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

³⁸ Therefore be it known to you, men, brothers, that through this One, forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. ³⁹ And in Him everyone believing is justified from all things from which you were not able to be justified in the Law of Moses.

⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas, having spoken boldly, said, “It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you. But since you thrust it away and do not judge yourselves worthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.

³⁰ So indeed God, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent, ³¹ because He set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness by a man whom He appointed, having provided a guarantee to all, having raised Him out from the dead.”

⁵ Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, earnestly testifying to the Jews Jesus to be the Christ. ⁶ But of them opposing and reviling him, having shaken out the garments, he said to them, “Your blood be upon your head; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

²¹ earnestly testifying both to the Jewish and to Greeks repentance in God and faith in our Lord Jesus.

²⁰ but both first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, I kept declaring to repent and to turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

²⁸ Therefore be it known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”

²⁰ Now the Law entered so that trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace overabounded,

¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich toward all those calling Him, ¹³ for, “Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” ¹⁴ How then shall they call on Him whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe on Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear apart from preaching? ¹⁵ And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it has been written: “How beautiful are the feet of those proclaiming good news of good things!” ¹⁶ But not all heeded the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” ¹⁷ So faith is from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. ¹⁸ But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”

²⁶ And so all Israel will be saved, as it has been written: “The One Delivering will come out of Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob. ²⁷ And this is the covenant from Me to them, when I shall take away their sins.”

⁸ For I declare Christ to have become a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises given to the fathers, ⁹ and for the Gentiles to glorify God for mercy, as it has been written: “Because of this I will praise You among the Gentiles, and will I sing to Your name.” ¹⁰ And again it says: “Rejoice you Gentiles, with His people.” ¹¹ And again: “Praise the Lord, all the Gentiles, and praise Him, all the peoples.” ¹² And again, Isaiah says: “There will be the root of Jesse, and the One arising to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will hope.” ¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, for you to abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit. ¹⁴ And I myself also am persuaded concerning you my brothers, that you yourselves are also full of goodness, being filled with all knowledge, and being able to admonish one another. ¹⁵ But I have written to you more boldly in part, as reminding you, because of the grace having been given to me by God ¹⁶ for me to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, administering the sacred service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might become acceptable, having been sanctified in the Holy Spirit.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One,

⁸ To me, the very least of all saints, was given this grace: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ

²⁷ to whom God has willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

¹² I am writing to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you for the sake of His name.

²⁷ And you also bear witness, because you are with Me from the beginning.

⁸ But you will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and you will be witnesses for Me, both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.”

²² having begun from the baptism of John until the day in which He was taken up from us, one of these, to become a witness with us of His resurrection.”

³² This Jesus God has raised up, to which we all are witnesses.

¹⁵ And you killed the Author of life, whom God has raised up out from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.

³³ And with great power, the apostles were giving testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all.

³² And we are witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those obeying Him.”

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things that He did, both in the region of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also put to death, having hanged Him on a tree.

³¹ who appeared for many days to those having come up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now His witnesses to the people.

¹⁵ For you will be a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

³ how shall we escape, having neglected such a great salvation, which, having received a commencement declared by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those having heard, ⁴ God bearing witness with them both by signs and wonders, and by various miracles and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.

¹ I exhort the elders among you, a fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory being about to be revealed:

² and the life was made manifest, and we have seen and bear witness, and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was revealed to us— ³ that which we have seen and have heard, we proclaim to you also, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you to the age— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him nor know. But you know Him, for He abides with you and He will be in you.

²⁶ When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from the Father, He will bear witness concerning Me.

⁷ But I tell you the truth, it is profitable for you that I should go away; for unless I go away the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. ⁸ And having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment: ⁹ concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in Me; ¹⁰ and concerning righteousness, because I go away to the Father and you behold Me no more; ¹¹ and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. ¹² Yet I have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now. ¹³ But when He the, Spirit of truth, shall come, He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He may hear, He will speak. And He will declare to you the things coming. ¹⁴ He will glorify Me, for He will take from that which is Mine and will disclose it to you. ¹⁵ All things that the Father has are Mine. Because of this, I said that He will take from that which is Mine and will disclose it to you. ¹⁶ A little while and you behold Me no longer; and again a little while and you will see Me.”

⁴ And being assembled together, He instructed them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father: “That which you heard of Me;

¹ And during the arriving of the day of Pentecost, they were all together in one place. ² And suddenly a sound like a violent rushing wind came out of heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³ And there appeared to them dividing tongues as of fire and sat upon each one of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit was giving to them to utter forth. ⁵ Now there were Jews dwelling in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven. ⁶ Now of this sound having come about, the multitude came together and was confounded, because each one was hearing them speaking the own language. ⁷ And they were amazed and were marveling, saying, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? ⁸ And how do we each hear our own language in which we were born? ⁹ Parthians and Medes and Elamites; and those inhabiting Mesopotamia, also Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰ both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya around Cyrene; and those visiting from Rome, ¹¹ both Jews and converts; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the great things of God!” ¹² And all were amazed, and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What wishes this to be?” ¹³ But others mocking were saying, “They are full of new wine.” ¹⁴ But Peter, having stood up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke forth to them: “Men of Judea and all those inhabiting Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give heed to my words. ¹⁵ For these are not drunkards as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day. ¹⁶ But this is that having been spoken by the prophet Joel: ¹⁷ ‘And it will be in the last days, God says, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your elders will dream dreams. ¹⁸ And even upon My servants, and upon My handmaidens, I will pour out of My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. ¹⁹ And I will show wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke. ²⁰ The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord coming. ²¹ And it shall be that everyone who shall call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.’

¹⁷ And having left them, He went out of the city to Bethany, and He passed the night there.

¹⁶ And having taken them in arms, He was blessing them, having laid the hands on them.

¹ And when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, He sends two of His disciples

¹² Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, holding a Sabbath day’s journey.

⁵ And indeed, those out from the sons of Levi receiving the priestly office have a commandment to take a tenth from the people, according to the Law, that is, from their brothers, though having come out of the loin of Abraham. ⁶ But the one not tracing his ancestry from them has collected a tenth from Abraham and has blessed the one having the promises. ⁷ And apart from all dispute, the inferior is blessed by the superior.

¹⁹ Therefore indeed the Lord Jesus, after speaking to them, was taken up into the heaven and sat at the right hand of God.

¹⁷ Jesus says to her, “Do not touch Me, for not yet have I ascended to the Father. Now go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’”

⁹ And having said these things, they beholding, He was lifted up, and a cloud hid Him from their eyes.

⁸ Therefore it says: “Having ascended on high, He led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men.” ⁹ Now what is “He ascended,” except that He also descended into the lower regions of the earth? ¹⁰ The One having descended is also the same one having ascended above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.

³ who, being the radiance of His glory and the exact expression of His substance, and upholding all things by the power of His word, through having made the purification of sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

¹⁴ Therefore having a great high priest having passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, we should hold firmly to our confession.

⁹ And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” And having approached, they took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.

¹⁷ And having seen Him they worshiped; but some doubted.

²⁸ You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

⁷ But I tell you the truth, it is profitable for you that I should go away; for unless I go away the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

²⁸ Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”

⁸ whom not having seen you love, on whom now believing though not seeing you also exult with joy inexpressible and filled with glory,

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And behold, I am with you all the days, until the completion of the age.”

²⁰ And having gone forth, they preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the accompanying signs.

⁴⁶ And every day they were steadfastly continuing with one accord in the temple and breaking bread at each house. They were partaking of food with gladness and sincerity of heart, ⁴⁷ praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord kept adding every day to their number those who were being saved.

⁴¹ Therefore indeed they departed from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name. ⁴² And every day, in the temple and in every house, they did not cease teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.

²¹ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
