Come, see the place where He was lying. ⁷ And having gone quickly, say to His disciples that He is risen from the dead and behold, He goes before you into Galilee; you will see Him there.

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.

²⁰ and that our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the judgment of death, and crucified Him. ²¹ But we were hoping it is He who is about to redeem Israel. But indeed also with all these things, this brings the third day away from which these things came to pass. ²² But also, certain women out from us astonished us. Having been to the tomb early ²³ and not having found His body, they came declaring to have also seen a vision of angels, who say He is alive. ²⁴ And some of those with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women also said.

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.

³⁸ Jesus from Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all those being oppressed by the devil, because God was with 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. ⁴⁰ This One God raised up on the third day, and gave Him to become manifest,

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, ⁵ and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. ⁶ Thereafter He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, the greater part of whom remain until now, although some have fallen asleep. ⁷ Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

¹⁷ And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead. And He placed His right hand upon me, saying, “Fear not. I am the First and the Last, ¹⁸ and the Living One. And I was dead, and behold I am living to the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

³² But I, after being raised, will go before you into Galilee.”

²⁸ But after having arisen, I will go before you into Galilee.”

⁵⁰ And all having left Him, fled.

⁶⁶ And Peter being below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest comes, ⁶⁷ and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked at him, she says, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” ⁶⁸ But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor even understand what you say.” And he went forth out into the porch; and the rooster crowed. ⁶⁹ And the servant girl, having seen him, began to say again to those standing by, “This is one of them.” ⁷⁰ But he denied it again. And after a little, again those standing by were saying to Peter, “Truly you are of them, for you also are a Galilean.” ⁷¹ But he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know this man whom you speak of!” ⁷² And immediately a rooster crowed for the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And having broken down, he began to weep.

¹ After these things, Jesus revealed Himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. Now He revealed Himself in this way:

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.

You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, the One having been crucified. He is risen! He is not here! Behold the place where they laid Him.

⁴ Carry no purse, nor bag, nor sandals; and greet no one on the road.

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.

²² But also, certain women out from us astonished us. Having been to the tomb early ²³ and not having found His body, they came declaring to have also seen a vision of angels, who say He is alive. ²⁴ And some of those with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women also said. But Him they did not see.”

³⁷ But having been terrified, and having been filled with fear, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.

⁵⁶ among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

² and certain women who had been cured from evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

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.

¹² and she sees two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

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

⁷ And on the first day of the week, of us having come together to break bread, Paul, about to depart on the next day, talked to them and continued the talk until midnight.

² Every first of the week, let each of you put something aside, treasuring up whatever he may be prospered in, so that when I might come, then there should be no collections.

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like that of a trumpet,

¹⁵ And Jesus said to them, “Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom shall have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.

³⁰ And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.

⁷² And immediately a rooster crowed for the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And having broken down, he began to weep.

¹⁷ And He said to them, “What are these words that you exchange with one another, walking?” And they stood still, looking sad.

⁶ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and will lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be grieved, but your grief will turn to joy. ²¹ The woman has pain when she is giving birth, because her hour has come; but when she brings forth the child, she remembers the tribulation no longer, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world. 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.

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

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.”

¹³ And they having gone, told it to the rest; neither did they believe them. 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 And their words appeared before them like folly, and they did not believe them.

²³ and not having found His body, they came declaring to have also seen a vision of angels, who say He is alive. ²⁴ And some of those with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women also said. But Him they did not see.” ²⁵ And He said to them, “O foolish and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken. 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. ²⁸ And they drew near to the village where they were going, and He appeared to be going farther. ²⁹ And they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and now the day has declined.” And He entered in to abide with them. 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. 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?” ³³ And having risen up that same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and those with them gathered together, ³⁴ saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and He has appeared to Simon.” ³⁵ And they began relating the things on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

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.

¹³ And behold, on the same day, two of them were going to a village whose name is Emmaus, sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And they were talking with one another about all these things having taken place. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, in their talking and reasoning, that Jesus Himself, having drawn near, was walking along with them. ¹⁶ But their eyes were held not to know Him. ¹⁷ And He said to them, “What are these words that you exchange with one another, walking?” And they stood still, looking sad. ¹⁸ And the one named Cleopas, answering, said to Him, “Are You alone visiting Jerusalem and have not known the things having come to pass in it in these days?” ¹⁹ And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet, mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, ²⁰ and that our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the judgment of death, and crucified Him. ²¹ But we were hoping it is He who is about to redeem Israel. But indeed also with all these things, this brings the third day away from which these things came to pass. ²² But also, certain women out from us astonished us. Having been to the tomb early ²³ and not having found His body, they came declaring to have also seen a vision of angels, who say He is alive. ²⁴ And some of those with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women also said. But Him they did not see.” ²⁵ And He said to them, “O foolish and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken. 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. ²⁸ And they drew near to the village where they were going, and He appeared to be going farther. ²⁹ And they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and now the day has declined.” And He entered in to abide with them. 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. 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?”

¹⁴ This is now the third time Jesus was revealed the disciples, having been raised out from the dead.

³¹ But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, not even will they be persuaded if one should rise out from the dead.’”

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.”

²⁰ Then He began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had taken place, because they did not repent.

¹⁶ And He said, “Are you also still without understanding? ¹⁷ Do you not yet understand that everything entering into the mouth goes into the stomach, and is cast out into the sewer?

⁸ But having known this, Jesus said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you did not take bread? ⁹ Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets you gathered? ¹⁰ Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? ¹¹ How do you not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”

²⁰ And He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith as of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. And nothing will be impossible for you.”

¹⁸ And He says to them, “Thus are you also without understanding? Do you not understand that everything entering into the man from outside is not able to defile 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?

¹¹ And they having heard that He is alive and has been seen by her, disbelieved. ¹² And after these things, He appeared in another form to two of them as they are walking, going into the country. ¹³ And they having gone, told it to the rest; neither did they believe them.

²⁵ And He said to them, “O foolish and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken.

³⁶ And as they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst, and says to them, “Peace to you.” ³⁷ But having been terrified, and having been filled with fear, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit. ³⁸ And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts come up in your hearts? ³⁹ See My hands and My feet, that I am He. Touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see Me having.” ⁴⁰ And having said this, He showed to them the hands and the feet. ⁴¹ And while they still were disbelieving for joy and were wondering, He said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” ⁴² And they gave to Him part of a broiled fish. ⁴³ And having taken it, He ate it before 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.

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.”

⁷ Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says: “Today if you should hear His voice, ⁸ do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,

¹⁵ As it is said: “Today if you should hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.” ¹⁶ For who were those having heard, rebelled, but not all those having come out of Egypt by the leading of Moses? ¹⁷ And with whom was He indignant forty years, if not with those having sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ And to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, if not to those having disobeyed? ¹⁹ And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

¹⁹ As many as I might love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.

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,

¹⁰ And the gospel it behooves first to proclaim to all the nations.

¹⁰ And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring good news to you of great joy, which will be to all the people. ¹¹ For today in the City of David a Savior has been born to you, who is Christ the Lord.

³¹ which You have prepared before the face of all the peoples, ³² a light for revelation of the Gentiles, and glory of Your people Israel.”

²¹ And the servant having come, reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, having become angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ ²² And the servant said, ‘Sir, as you did command, it has been done, and there is still room.’ 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.

⁴⁷ and repentance and forgiveness of sins to be proclaimed in His name to all nations, having begun from Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

¹⁶ You did not chose Me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and you should bear fruit, and your fruit should remain, so that whatever you might ask the Father in My name, He may give you.

²¹ Therefore Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent Me forth, I also send you.”

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.”

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 but now having been made manifest also through the prophetic Scriptures, according to the commandment of the Eternal God, having been made known to all the Gentiles unto the obedience of faith—

¹⁷ And having come, He proclaimed the gospel: peace to you, the ones far off, and peace to those near.

⁶ the one being present unto you, just as also in all the world it is bearing fruit and increasing, just as also among you from the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,

²³ if indeed you continue in the faith, established and firm, and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, having been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul have become a minister.

¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting glad tidings to preach upon those dwelling on the earth, and upon every nation and tribe and tongue and people,

¹⁵ and saying, “The time has been fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has drawn near; repent and believe in the gospel.”

¹² And those along the road are those having heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, lest having believed, they should be saved.

¹² But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to be children of God—to those believing in His name, ¹³ who were born not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.

⁵ Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless anyone be born of water and of the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ so that everyone believing in Him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, so that everyone believing in Him should not perish, but should have eternal life.

¹⁸ The one believing in Him is not judged, but the one not believing already has been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgement, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their deeds were evil.

³⁶ The one believing in the Son has eternal life, but the one not obeying the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you that the one hearing My word and believing the One having sent Me, he has eternal life and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you should believe in Him whom He has sent.”

³⁵ Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; the one coming to Me never shall hunger, and the one believing in Me never shall thirst at any time.

⁴⁰ For this is the will of My Father, that everyone beholding the Son and believing in Him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.”

³⁷ Now in the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. ³⁸ The one believing in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.’”

²⁴ Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he should die, he will live. ²⁶ And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?”

⁴⁶ I have come into the world as a light, so that everyone believing in Me should not abide in darkness. ⁴⁷ And if anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. ⁴⁸ The one rejecting Me and not receiving My words has one judging him: The word which I spoke, that will judge him in the last day.

³¹ But these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in His name.

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.

⁴¹ Therefore those indeed having received his word were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added.

³⁶ And as they were going along the road they came upon some water, and the eunuch says, “Behold, water! What prevents me to be baptized?” ^{37 38} And he commanded the chariot to stop. And they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. ³⁹ Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no longer. For he went his way rejoicing.

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

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 And having brought them out, he was saying, “Sirs, what is necessary of me to do, that I may be saved?” ³¹ And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.” ³² And they spoke the word of the Lord to him along with all those in his house.

¹⁶ And now why do you delay? Having arisen, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.’

⁶ Never may it be! Otherwise, how will God judge the world?

²⁴ but also on account of us, to whom it is about to be credited, to those believing on the One having raised Jesus our Lord out from the dead,

⁹ that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him out from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For in the heart is belief unto righteousness, and in the mouth is confession unto salvation. ¹¹ For the Scripture says, “Everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.” 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?

⁸ in a fire of flame, inflicting vengeance on those not knowing God and on those not obeying the gospel of our Lord Jesus,

¹² in order that all those not having believed the truth but having delighted in unrighteousness should be judged.

³⁸ But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he might shrink back, My soul does not take pleasure in him.” ³⁹ But we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of faith to the preserving of the soul.

²¹ who by Him believe in God, the one having raised Him up out from the dead and having given Him glory, so as for your faith and hope to be in God.

²¹ which also prefigures the baptism now saving you, not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the demand of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ The one believing in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one not believing God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning His Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony: that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. ¹² The one having the Son has life; the one not having the Son of God does not have life. ¹³ I have written these things to you, the ones believing in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

¹⁵ And if anyone was not found having been written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

⁸ But to the cowardly and unbelieving and having become abominable and murderers and the sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their portion is in the lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

³⁸ John answered Him, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we were forbidding him, because he was not following us.”

¹⁷ And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us through Your name.”

¹² Truly, truly, I say to you, the one believing in Me, the works that I do, also he will do. And he will do greater than these, because I am going to the Father.

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!”

³³ Therefore having been exalted at the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He has poured out this which you are both seeing and hearing.

¹⁶ Now the multitude from the cities surrounding Jerusalem also were coming together, bringing the sick and those being tormented by unclean spirits, who were all healed.

⁷ For from many of those having unclean spirits, they were coming out, crying in a loud voice. And many having been paralyzed and lame were healed.

⁴⁶ For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

¹⁸ And she continued this for many days. And Paul having been distressed and having turned, said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out from her.” And it came out that hour.

⁶ And of Paul having laid the hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they were speaking in tongues and prophesying.

¹² so that even handkerchiefs or aprons from his skin were brought to the ailing, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits left. ¹³ Now some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, also attempted to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those having evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul proclaims.” ¹⁴ And seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were doing this. ¹⁵ But the evil spirit answering, said to them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but you, who are you?” ¹⁶ And the man in whom was the evil spirit, having leapt on them, having overpowered them all, prevailed against them so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

¹⁰ and to another working of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another distinguishing of spirits, and to a different one various kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues.

²⁸ And some indeed God has appointed in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, various kinds of tongues.

³⁰ Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?

¹ If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become a sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

² For the one speaking in a tongue speaks not to men, but to God. For no one hears, but in the Spirit he utters mysteries.

⁴ The one speaking in a tongue edifies himself, but the one prophesying edifies the church. ⁵ Now I desire you all to speak in tongues, but rather that you should prophesy. Now the one prophesying is greater than the one speaking in tongues, unless he should interpret, so that the church might receive edification. ⁶ But now brothers, if I should come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you, unless I should speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching? ⁷ Even lifeless things giving a sound, whether the flute or harp, unless they give distinction to the sounds, how will it be known what is being piped or being harped? ⁸ And indeed if the trumpet gives an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle? ⁹ So also you, unless you give intelligible speech with the tongue, how will it be known what is being spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. ¹⁰ There are, if it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none without meaning. ¹¹ Therefore unless I know the power of the sound, I will be a barbarian to the one speaking, and the one speaking, a barbarian to me. ¹² So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, search for the edification of the church, that you should cause it to abound. ¹³ Therefore he who speaks in a tongue, let him pray that he might interpret. ¹⁴ For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. ¹⁵ What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, but also I will pray with the mind. I will sing praise with the spirit, but also I will sing praise with the mind. ¹⁶ Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will the one filling the place of the uninstructed say the “Amen” at your thanksgiving, since he knows not what you say? ¹⁷ For truly you are giving thanks well, but the other is not edified. ¹⁸ I thank God, speaking in tongues more than all of you. ¹⁹ But in the church, I desire to speak five words with my mind, that also I might instruct others, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue. ²⁰ Brothers, do not be children in the minds. Yet in the evil, be little children; but in the thinking, be full grown. ²¹ In the Law it has been written: “By other tongues, and by other lips, I will speak to this people, and not even thus will they hear Me, says the Lord.” ²² So then, tongues are for a sign, not to those believing, but to the unbelieving; but prophecy is not to the unbelieving, but to the believing. ²³ Therefore if the whole church gathers together in one place and all should speak in tongues, but uninstructed ones or unbelievers come in, will not they say that you are mad? ²⁴ But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or uninstructed should come in, he is convicted by all, he is examined by all, ²⁵ and the secrets of his heart become manifest. And thus having fallen upon his face, he will worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you. ²⁶ What then is it, brothers? When you may come together, each has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

²³ and he begs Him much, saying, “My little daughter is holding at the end, that having come, You would lay the hands on her, so that she might be cured, and she shall live.”

¹⁹ Behold, I give you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.

⁶ But Peter said, “Silver and gold, to me there is none; but what I have, this I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” ⁷ And having taken him by the right hand, he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened. ⁸ And leaping up, he stood and began walking, and he entered into the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

¹² But having seen it, Peter answered to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this? Or why do you look intently on us as if by our own power or godliness we have made him to walk?

¹⁶ And on the faith in His name, this man whom you see and know, His name has strengthened; and the faith which is through Him has given to him this complete soundness before all of you.

²² For the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was more than forty years old.

³⁰ in that You stretch out Your hand for healing and signs and wonders to take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”

¹⁵ so as even to bring out the sick into the streets, and to put them on cots and mats, that of Peter coming, at least the shadow might envelop some of them. ¹⁶ Now the multitude from the cities surrounding Jerusalem also were coming together, bringing the sick and those being tormented by unclean spirits, who were all healed.

¹⁷ And Ananias went away and entered into the house; and having laid the hands upon him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, the One having appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me that you may see again and be filled of the Holy Spirit.” ¹⁸ And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. And having risen up, he was baptized,

³⁴ And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise up and make the bed for yourself.” And immediately he rose up.

⁴⁰ And Peter having put all outside and having bowed the knees, prayed. And having turned to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise!” And she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up. ⁴¹ And having given her his hand, he raised her up. And having called the saints and the widows, he presented her living. ⁴² And it became known throughout all of Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.

¹² so that even handkerchiefs or aprons from his skin were brought to the ailing, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits left.

³ Now of Paul having gathered a quantity of sticks and having laid them on the fire, a viper, having come out from the heat, fastened on his hand. ⁴ And when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they began to say to one another, “By all means this man is a murderer whom, having been saved from the sea, Justice has not permitted to live.” ⁵ Then indeed, having shaken off the creature into the fire, he suffered no injury. ⁶ But they were expecting him to be about to become inflamed or suddenly to fall down dead. But of them waiting a great while and seeing nothing amiss happening to him, having changed their opinion, they began declaring him to be a god.

⁸ And it came to pass, the father of Publius was lying, oppressed with fevers and dysentery, toward whom Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid the hands on him, healed him. ⁹ And of this having taken place, also the rest in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed,

²⁰ And in a short time the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

⁹ and to a different one faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let him call near the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will save the one ailing, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he might be one having committed sins, it will be forgiven him.

¹⁸ And having come to them, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on the earth has been given to Me. 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, 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.”

⁵¹ And it came to pass in the completing of the days of His ascension, that He steadfastly set the face to go to Jerusalem.

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.” ⁴⁵ Then He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures. 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, ⁴⁷ and repentance and forgiveness of sins to be proclaimed in His name to all nations, having begun from Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But you, remain in the city until that you should be clothed with power from on high.” ⁵⁰ And He led them out as far as to Bethany, and having lifted up His hands, He blessed them. ⁵¹ And it came to pass in His blessing them, He was separated from them and was carried up into heaven.

⁶² Then what if you should see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?

¹ Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved the own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again I leave the world and go to the Father.”

⁴ I glorified You on the earth, having completed the work that You have given Me that I should do. ⁵ And now glorify Me, You Father, with Yourself, with the glory that I had with You before the world existed.

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.

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.’”

¹⁵ Therefore when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Feed My lambs.”

²² Jesus says to him, “If I desire him to remain until I come, what is it to you? You follow Me!”

² until the day He was taken up, having given orders by the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He had chosen, 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.

⁹ And having said these things, they beholding, He was lifted up, and a cloud hid Him from their eyes. ¹⁰ And as they were looking intently into heaven as He was going, then behold, two men in white apparel stood by them, ¹¹ who also said, “Men, Galileans, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, having been taken up from you into heaven, will thus come in that manner you beheld Him going into heaven.”

²¹ whom indeed it behooves heaven to receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from the age.

⁵⁵ But he being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked intently into heaven, saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, ⁵⁶ and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

³⁴ Who is the one condemning? For it is Christ Jesus, the one having died, now rather having been raised up, who is also at the right hand of God, and who is interceding for us.

²⁴ then the end, when He shall hand over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He shall have annulled all dominion, and all authority and power. ²⁵ For it behooves Him to reign until He shall have put all the enemies under His feet.

²⁰ which He worked in Christ, having raised Him out from the dead, and having set Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, ²¹ above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name being named, not only in this age, but also in the one coming. ²² And He put all things under His feet and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,

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. ¹¹ And He gave some indeed to be apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some shepherds and teachers,

¹ If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

¹⁶ And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness: Who was revealed in the flesh, was justified in the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

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.

²⁰ where Jesus, the forerunner for us, has entered, having become a high priest to the age, according to the order of Melchizedek.

²⁶ For such a high priest indeed was fitting for us, holy, innocent, undefiled, having been separated from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens,

¹ Now the point of the things being spoken of is that we have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

²⁴ For Christ has entered not into holy places made by hands, copies of the true ones, but into heaven itself, now to appear for us in the presence of God,

¹² But this One, having offered one sacrifice for sins in perpetuity, sat down at the right hand of God, ¹³ the henceforth awaiting until His enemies should be placed as a footstool for His feet.

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers, having confidence for entering the holy places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way, which He dedicated for us through the veil that is His flesh, ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God, ²² we should draw near with a sincere heart, in full assurance of faith, our hearts having been sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our body having been washed with pure water.

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.

²² who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been subjected to Him.

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone should hear My voice and open the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. ²¹ The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

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.’ ²² Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man having been set forth by God to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in your the midst, as you yourselves know, ²³ Him delivered up by the determinate plan and foreknowledge of God, you put to death, having crucified Him by lawless hands, ²⁴ whom God raised up, having loosed the agony of death, inasmuch as it was not possible for Him to be held by it. ²⁵ For David says about Him: ‘I foresaw the Lord before me continually; because He is at my right hand, I should not be shaken. ²⁶ Because of this my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced, and now also my flesh will dwell in hope, ²⁷ for You will not abandon my soul into Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see decay. ²⁸ You have made known to me the paths of life, You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

¹² Now many signs and wonders were happening among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Colonnade.

⁴ Therefore indeed those having been scattered went about preaching the word. ⁵ Now Philip, having gone down to a city of Samaria, was proclaiming the Christ to them. ⁶ And the crowds with one accord were giving heed to the things being spoken by Philip in the time for them to hear and to see the signs that he was performing.

³ Therefore indeed they stayed a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done through their hands.

⁸ And in Lystra a certain man was sitting, crippled in the feet, lame from the womb of his mother, who had never walked. ⁹ This man heard Paul speaking, who having looked intently at him and having seen that he has faith to be healed, ¹⁰ said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” And he sprang up and began to walk.

¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God, so as for me, from Jerusalem and around unto Illyricum, to have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ,

⁴ And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, ⁵ so that your faith might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

⁶ I planted, Apollos watered, but God kept it growing. ⁷ So neither the one planting nor the one watering is anything, but only God, the One giving growth. ⁸ Now the one planting and the one watering are one, and each will receive the own reward, according to the own labor. ⁹ For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

¹ And working together, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

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.
