⁵² They answered and said to him, Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see: no prophet arises out of Galilee.

²² You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs, which God performed by him in your midst, as you yourselves know:

²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask for Barabbas, and have Jesus executed.

¹ And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

⁶⁶ And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,

¹³ And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus; whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to let him go. ¹⁴ But you denied the Holy and Just One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you; ¹⁵ And killed the Prince of life, whom God has raised from the dead. Of this we are witnesses.

⁸ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, You rulers of the people, and elders, ⁹ If we are to be examined this day about a good deed done to a cripple, by what means he was made well; ¹⁰ Then let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him does this man stand here before you well.

²⁷ For truly in this city, against your holy servant Jesus, whom you have anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together, ²⁸ To do whatever your hand and your counsel predestined to be done.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. ³¹ God has exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

²⁷ For those who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the words of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, have fulfilled these by condemning him. ²⁸ And though they found no cause for death in him, yet they asked Pilate that he be slain. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

⁶⁸ Blessed is the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people,

³⁸ And coming at that hour she also gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who looked for the redemption of Jerusalem.

⁶ When they had come together, they asked him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?

¹⁸ For you know that you were not redeemed with perishable things, such as silver and gold, from the vain way of life you inherited from your fathers; ¹⁹ But with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

⁹ And they sang a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll, and to break its seals: for you were slain, and by your blood have purchased men for God out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

⁹ :¹⁰ And she went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

¹ Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. ² And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. ³ They entered, but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: ⁵ They were afraid, and bowed their faces to the earth, and the men said to them, Why do you seek the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but has risen: remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee, ⁷ Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. ⁸ And they remembered his words, ⁹ And returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. ¹⁰ They were Mary of Magdala, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. ¹¹ And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they did not believe them.

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things to her.

¹² Then Peter arose, and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering to himself at that which had come to pass.

¹ The first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early, when it was yet dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb. ² Then she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.

¹⁸ And he said to them, Are you also without understanding? Do you not perceive, that whatever enters into the man from without, it cannot defile him;

¹⁷ And being aware of this, Jesus said to them, Why do you discuss having no bread? do you not yet see or understand? are your hearts hardened? ¹⁸ Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, do you not hear? and do you not remember?

¹⁹ He answered him, and said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I endure you? bring him to me.

¹⁴ Afterward, he appeared to the eleven as they sat eating, and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he had risen.

¹¹ Of him we have many things to say which are hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. ¹² For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need for someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.

⁷ Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

⁴⁴ He said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which are written about me in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms.

⁴⁶ And said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day:

³ Explaining and proving, that Christ needed to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and saying, this Jesus, whom I preach to you, is the Christ.

³ For I delivered to you as of first importance that which I received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; ⁴ And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

⁸ You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in putting all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. ⁹ But we see Jesus, who was made for a little while lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honour because he suffered death; that he, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man. ¹⁰ For it was fitting that he, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

²² Indeed, under the law almost all things are cleansed with blood; and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. ²³ It was, therefore, necessary that the copies of the heavenly things should be purified with these sacrifices; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

² Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who by his abundant mercy has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

¹¹ Seeking to find to whom and when the Spirit of Christ within them was pointing, when he testified beforehand of the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow.

⁴⁵ Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote about, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

³⁹ You search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and it is they that testify of me.

⁴⁵ Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust. ⁴⁶ For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: for he wrote of me. ⁴⁷ But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe my words?

²² For Moses said, The Lord your God shall raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brethren; you shall hear him in all things, whatever he shall say to you.

²⁴ Yea, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days.

³⁷ This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, The Lord your God shall raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brethren.

⁴³ To him all the prophets bear witness that through his name whoever believes in him shall receive forgiveness of sins.

²⁷ For those who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the words of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, have fulfilled these by condemning him. ²⁸ And though they found no cause for death in him, yet they asked Pilate that he be slain. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb. ³⁰ But God raised him from the dead:

¹⁰ And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, Do not do that: I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren, who hold to the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

⁴⁸ And he saw them toiling at their rowing; for the wind was against them: and about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed them by.

²³ And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and along the hedgerows, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

¹⁴ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart, so she attended to the things which were spoken by Paul.

¹⁹ And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

³⁶ And he took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

⁴¹ And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fish he divided among them all.

⁶ And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the people.

²² And as they ate, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.

¹⁶ Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁹ And he took bread, and gave thanks, and 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 told what had happened on the road, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of bread.

¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to those who were seated; and he did likewise with the fish, as much as they wanted.

³⁵ And when he had spoken thus, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

³⁰ But he passed through the midst of them and went his way,

¹⁶ But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

⁵⁹ Then they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

¹³ And they said to her, Woman, why do you weep? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him. ¹⁴ And when she had said this, she turned around, and saw Jesus standing, but did not know that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus said to her, Woman, why do you weep? whom do you seek? She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus said to her, Mary. She turned, and said to him, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.

⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the scriptures,

⁶³ The spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words I speak to you are spirit and life.

² And Paul, as his manner was, went in to them, and for three sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures, ³ Explaining and proving, that Christ needed to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and saying, this Jesus, whom I preach to you, is the Christ.

²³ And when they had appointed a day, many came to him in his lodging; to whom he explained and testified of the kingdom of God, trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning until evening.

¹² For the word of God is alive, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart.

¹³ And they went and told it to the others, who also did not believe them.

¹⁹ Then at evening of the same day, the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, Peace be with you. ²⁰ And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. ²¹ Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be with you: as my Father has sent me, even so I send you. ²² And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit: ²³ If you forgive the sins of any one, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any one, they are retained. ²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ The other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I shall see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. ²⁶ After eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them: then Jesus came, though the doors were shut, and stood in their midst, and said, Peace be with you.

¹⁴ They all continued with one accord in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

⁷ But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goes before you into Galilee: there you shall see him, as he told you.

⁵⁴ Then they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed from afar. ⁵⁵ And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and sat down together, Peter sat among them. ⁵⁶ But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. ⁵⁷ And he denied it, saying, Woman, I do not know him. ⁵⁸ And after a little while another saw him, and said, You are also one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. ⁵⁹ And after about an hour another insisted, Truly this man was also with him: for he is a Galilaean. ⁶⁰ And Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. And immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock crowed. ⁶¹ And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the cock crows today, you shall deny me thrice. ⁶² And he went out, and wept bitterly.

⁵ And that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve:

³⁰ And it came to pass, as he was at table with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to them. ³¹ And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight.

⁴² And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in prayer.

¹³ And if 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 enter, first say, Peace be 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, neither let it be afraid.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

¹⁹ Then at evening of the same day, the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, Peace be with you. ²⁰ And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. ²¹ Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be with you: as my Father has sent me, even so I send you. ²² And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit: ²³ If you forgive the sins of any one, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any one, they are retained.

²⁶ After eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them: then Jesus came, though the doors were shut, and stood in their midst, and said, Peace be with you.

¹⁶ Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace always in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be to you, and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;

²⁶ And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out in fear. ²⁷ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, Take heart; it is I; do not be afraid.

⁴⁹ But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out: ⁵⁰ For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them, Take heart: it is I; do not be afraid.

³⁰ And he said, No, father Abraham: but if someone went to them from the dead, they will repent.

¹⁵ And they said to her, You are mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was so. Then they said, It is his angel.

⁸ When Jesus perceived this, he said to them, O you of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have brought no bread?

¹³ Nor is there any creature concealed from his sight: but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

⁴⁶ And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and said, Father, into your hands I commit my spirit: and having said this, he breathed his last.

²⁰ And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

²⁵ The other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I shall see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

²⁷ Then he said to Thomas, Reach here with your finger, and behold my hands; and reach here with your hand, and thrust it into my side: and do not be faithless, but believing.

³ To them he showed himself alive after his suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them over forty days, and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God:

²³ Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ Furthermore, we have had earthly fathers who corrected us, and we gave them respect: shall we not much more be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

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

²² So also you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and no man shall take your joy from you.

⁵ Then Jesus said to them, Children, have you any fish? They answered him, No.

¹⁰ Jesus said to them, Bring some of the fish which you have caught. ¹¹ Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three: and though there were so many, yet the net was not broken. ¹² Jesus said to them, Come and have breakfast. And none of the disciples dared ask him, Who are you? knowing that it was the Lord. ¹³ Then Jesus came, and took bread, and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.

⁴¹ Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

⁵⁴ But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that say it must happen this way?

⁵⁶ But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and by the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. ³² And he spoke this plainly. And Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him.

³¹ For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after he is killed, he shall rise on the third day.

³¹ Then he took the twelve aside, and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. ³² For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully treated, and spit upon: ³³ And they shall flog him, and put him to death: and on the third day he shall rise again. ³⁴ And they understood none of these things: this saying was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things which were spoken.

²² For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

³⁷ For I say to you, that this scripture must yet be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for that which refers to me has its fulfillment.

⁶ He is not here, but has risen: remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee, ⁷ Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

²⁶ Was it not necessary for the Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? ²⁷ And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them all the things concerning himself in the scriptures.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up:

⁴⁶ For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

⁴ But these things I have spoken to you, that when the time shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ But now I go to him who sent me; and none of you asks me, Where are you going?

¹⁶ In a little while you shall not see me: and again, in a little while, you shall see me. ¹⁷ Then some of his disciples said among themselves, What is this that he says to us, In a little while you shall not see me: and again, in a little while, you shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

¹¹ And now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep those whom you have given me in your own name, that they may be one, as we are. ¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those you gave me I have kept, and none of them has been lost, except the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ And now I come to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

²⁴ Therefore they said among themselves, Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be. This was so the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. Therefore the soldiers did these things. ²⁵ Now by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, he said to his mother, Woman, behold your son! ²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, Behold your mother! And from that hour that disciple took her into his own home. ²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, said in fulfillment of the scripture, I thirst. ²⁹ Now there was a vessel full of vinegar set there: and they soaked a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon a hyssop branch, and held it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit. ³¹ Because it was the day of preparation, in order that the bodies would not remain upon the cross during the sabbath day (for that sabbath day was a high day,) the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. ³² The soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him. ³³ But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they did not break his legs: ³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water. ³⁵ And he who saw it has borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knows what he says is true, that you also might believe. ³⁶ For these things came to pass that the scripture should be fulfilled, Not one of his bones shall be broken. ³⁷ And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have pierced.

¹⁸ But those things which God foretold by the mouths of all his prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he has fulfilled.

²² For Moses said, The Lord your God shall raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brethren; you shall hear him in all things, whatever he shall say to you. ²³ And it shall come to pass, that anyone who will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. ²⁴ Yea, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb. ³⁰ But God raised him from the dead: ³¹ And he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.

³³ God has fulfilled to us, their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this day I have begotten you.

⁵ And Moses was faithful in all his house, as a servant, as a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;

¹ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

⁸ By this the Holy Spirit signifies that the way into the holiest of all has not yet been disclosed, while the first room of the tabernacle remains standing,

¹ For the law, being only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never by those sacrifices, which are offered year by year, continually, make perfect those who draw near.

³² And they said to one another, Did not our hearts burn within us, while he talked with us along the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

¹⁸ To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance along with those who are sanctified by faith in me.

¹⁴ But their minds were hardened: for to this day the same veil remains unlifted at the reading of the old covenant; because it is only removed through Christ. ¹⁵ But even to this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their hearts. ¹⁶ But whenever a man shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. ¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. ¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled faces beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into that same image, from glory to glory, and this is from the Lord, the Spirit.

⁴ For the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe, lest they should see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God. ⁵ For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord; and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. ⁶ For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

¹⁴ Therefore he says, Awaken, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

⁷ And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These are the words of he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens;

¹² And there is salvation in no one else: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved.

² And saying, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

¹⁰ When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not even in Israel. ¹¹ And I say to you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall recline at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

¹³ But go and learn what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.

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

¹⁹ Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:

³⁴ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to you; how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not allow it!

³⁸ Then Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹ Therefore repent, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

²⁵ You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. ²⁶ God, having raised up his servant, sent him first to bless you, by turning every one of you away from your iniquities.

³¹ God has exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God. Then Peter said, ⁴⁷ Can anyone forbid water for these to be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have? ⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to remain for a few days.

¹⁸ When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then God has also granted to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life.

³⁸ Therefore, let it be known to you, brethren, that through this man the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you: ³⁹ And by him all who believe are justified from all the things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should have first been spoken to you: but seeing that you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

³⁰ Those times of ignorance God overlooked; but now he commands all men everywhere to repent: ³¹ Because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom he has ordained; and he has given assurance of this to all men by raising him from the dead.

⁵ And when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself to preaching, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. ⁶ And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his clothing, and said to them, May your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

²¹ Testifying both to the Jews, and to the Greeks, of repentance toward God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁰ But declared first to those of Damascus, then at Jerusalem, and throughout all the regions of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and perform deeds worthy of repentance.

²⁸ Therefore let it be known to you, that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.

²⁰ The law entered, that offences might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more:

¹² For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord is Lord over all, bestowing his riches on all who call upon him. ¹³ For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ¹⁴ But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? ¹⁵ And how shall they preach, unless they are sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things! ¹⁶ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report? ¹⁷ So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. ¹⁸ But I say, Have they not heard? Yes truly, for: Their voice went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

²⁶ And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, who shall banish ungodliness from Jacob: ²⁷ For this is my covenant with them, when I shall take away their sins.

⁸ Now I say that Christ became a minister to the circumcised for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers: ⁹ And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name. ¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; and praise him, all you people. ¹² And again, Isaiah says, The root of Jesse shall come, and he shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope. ¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit. ¹⁴ And I myself am also convinced about you, my brethren, that you are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able also to admonish one another. ¹⁵ Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as a reminder, because of the grace given to me by God, ¹⁶ That I should be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, in the priestly service of the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

⁶ To the praise of his glorious grace, which he freely bestowed upon us in the beloved.

⁸ To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, was this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

²⁷ To whom God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the riches of the glory of this mystery; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

¹² I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.

²⁷ And you also shall bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.

⁸ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you: and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the remotest part of the earth.

²² Beginning with the baptism of John until the day that he was taken up from us, one of these must be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

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

¹⁵ And killed the Prince of life, whom God has raised from the dead. Of this we are witnesses.

³³ And with great power the apostles gave witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

³² And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem. And they killed him by hanging him on a tree:

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

¹⁵ For you shall be his witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.

³ How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? It was at first announced by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard him; ⁴ God also bearing witness, both with signs and wonders, and with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.

¹ I exhort the elders who are among you, as a fellow elder, and as a witness of the sufferings of Christ and as a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

² (For the life was revealed, and we have seen it, 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 heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ And I will pray to the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; ¹⁷ That is the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him, neither does it know him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.

²⁶ But when the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:

⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; It is for your good that I go away: for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you. ⁸ And when he has come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: ⁹ Of sin, because they do not believe in me; ¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you will see me no more; ¹¹ Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. ¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. ¹³ Yet when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of his own accord; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall take what is mine, and shall show it to you. ¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine: therefore I said that he shall take what is mine, and shall show it to you. ¹⁶ In a little while you shall not see me: and again, in a little while, you shall see me.

⁴ And, while eating with them, commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, of which, he said, you have heard me speak.

¹ And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. ² And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. ³ And there appeared to them tongues, as of fire, which separated and came to rest upon each of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. ⁵ And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. ⁶ Now when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because every one heard them speak in his own language. ⁷ And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans? ⁸ And how is it we each hear them in our own tongue, in the language to which we were born? ⁹ Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya around Cyrene, and strangers from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, ¹¹ Cretans and Arabs, we hear them speak in our tongues of the mighty works of God. ¹² And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What does this mean? ¹³ Others said mockingly, These men are full of new wine. ¹⁴ But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, You men of Judaea, and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words: ¹⁵ For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day. ¹⁶ But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel; ¹⁷ And it shall come to pass in the last days, declares God, That I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: ¹⁸ And in those days I will pour out my Spirit on my menservants and on my maidservants; and they shall prophesy: ¹⁹ And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord shall come: ²¹ And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

¹⁷ And he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany; and he lodged there.

¹⁶ And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

¹ And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent forth two of his disciples,

¹² Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

⁵ And truly, those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these also come out of the loins of Abraham: ⁶ But he whose descent is not traced from them received a tithe from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises. ⁷ And without any dispute, the lesser is blessed by the greater.

¹⁹ So after the Lord had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, Do not hold me; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

⁹ And when he had spoken these things, while they watched, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

⁸ Therefore it says, When he ascended on high, he led a host of captives, and gave gifts to men. ⁹ (In saying that he ascended, what does that mean but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

³ He is the brightness of his glory, and the exact representation of his nature, upholding all things by the word of his power. When he had purged our sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high;

¹⁴ Seeing then that we have a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

⁹ And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

¹⁷ And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

²⁸ You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; It is for your good that I go away: for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.

²⁸ And Thomas said to him, My Lord and my God.

⁸ Though you have not seen him, you love him; and though you do not see him now, yet you believe in him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy:

²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

²⁰ And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with accompanying signs.]

⁴⁶ And they continued daily to assemble in the temple, and to break bread from house to house, and to eat their food with gladness and sincerity of heart, ⁴⁷ Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

⁴¹ And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. ⁴² And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease to teach and preach Jesus as the Christ.

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