Remember how he spake to you, while he was yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying, The son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again. ⁸ Then they remembered his words,

²⁰ how our chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and they have crucified him. ²¹ Now we were hoping that he is the person who would soon deliver Israel. But indeed with all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. ²² But again some women of our company have astonished us; having been at the sepulchre very early in the morning, ²³ and not finding his body, they came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive. ²⁴ Whereupon some of the men who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found matters just as the women said: but him they did not see. ²⁵ Then he said to them, O thoughtless, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory? ²⁷ Then beginning with Moses and proceeding through all the prophets, he explained to them, by all those writings, the things concerning himself.

⁴⁶ and he said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer and rise from the dead on the third day;

¹⁹ In reply to which Jesus said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. ²⁰ Thereupon the Jews said, This temple was forty six years a building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? ²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body: ²² therefore, when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this to them; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

¹⁹ Now Pilate had written a label and put it on the cross, and the writing was this, Jesus The Nazarine, The King Of The Jews. ²⁰ This label therefore many of the Jews read; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and the inscription was in Hebrew and Greek and Latin.

²² "Men of Israel hear these words Jesus the Nazarene, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God performed by him among you, as you yourselves know. ²³ Him, being surrendered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken; and by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.

³⁸ how God anointed him with a holy spirit and power. Him who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him, ³⁹ and we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; Him, whom they slew, suspending him on a cross ⁴⁰ even him God raised up the third day, and granted him to become manifest,

³ For I delivered to you, as one of the principal things, that which I actually received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried; and that he was raised up the third day according to the scriptures; ⁵ and that he was seen by Cephas, then, by the twelve; ⁶ after that he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater number are even now alive, but some indeed are composed to rest; ⁷ after that he was seen by James, then by all the apostles;

¹⁷ And when I saw him I fell at his feet as one dead. Whereupon he laid his right hand on me, and said to me, "Fear not. I am the first and the last, ¹⁸ even he who liveth. Though I was dead yet behold I am alive, and live for the ages of the ages, Amen. And I have the keys of the mansion of the dead, and of death.

³² But after I am risen, I will go before you to Galilee.

⁷ Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. And lo he goeth before you to Galilee. There you shall see him. Behold, I have told you.

¹⁰ Then Jesus saith to them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they may go to Galilee; there they shall see me.

¹⁶ Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain whither Jesus ordered them. ¹⁷ And some seeing him prostrated themselves before him, and some doubted.

²⁸ But after I am risen, I will go before you to Galilee.

⁵⁰ Then all forsook him, and fled.

⁶⁶ Now, Peter being in the court below, one of the maid servants of the chief priest cometh, ⁶⁷ and seeing Peter warming himself, having viewed him narrowly, she saith, Thou also wast with Jesus, the Nazarene. ⁶⁸ Whereupon he denied, saying, I do not know, nor do I understand what thou sayest. Then he went out into the portico, and a cock crowed. ⁶⁹ And the girl, seeing him again, began to say to the bye standers, that man is one of them. ⁷⁰ Hereupon he denied again. And a little while after, they who stood by, said to Peter, Thou art certainly one of them; for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech sheweth it. ⁷¹ Upon this, he began with imprecations and oaths to say, I do not know the man of whom you speak. ⁷² And a cock crowed a second time. Then Peter recollected what Jesus said to him, Before a cock crow twice, thou wilt three times deny me; and covering his head, he wept.

¹ After this Jesus shewed himself again to his disciples, by the sea of Tiberias, and in this manner he shewed himself.

³¹ and for many days he appeared to them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are his witnesses to the people.

⁵ and that he was seen by Cephas, then, by the twelve;

⁷ so that, on the contrary, I rather wish you to forgive and comfort him, that such a one may not be overwhelmed with an excess of sorrow.

²⁹ Thereupon Elisha said to Giezi, Gird up thy loins and take my staff in thy hand and go. If thou meetest a man salute him not. And if any man salute thee, return him no answer. And lay my staff on the face of the child.

⁸ Accordingly, having come out quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy they ran to tell his disciples.

⁵ And going into the sepulchre, they saw a youth sitting on the right side, clothed with a white robe, and they were terrified. ⁶ Whereupon he said to them, Be not terrified. You are seeking Jesus, the Nazarene, who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here. Behold the place where they laid him.

⁴ Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor sandals. And salute no one by the way.

⁹ and having returned from the sepulchre, they told 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 rest with them, who told these things to the apostles. ¹¹ But their words appeared to them like an idle tale, and they did not believe them.

²² But again some women of our company have astonished us; having been at the sepulchre very early in the morning, ²³ and not finding his body, they came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive. ²⁴ Whereupon some of the men who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found matters just as the women said: but him they did not see.

³⁷ At which they were affrighted, and, being in terror, thought they saw a spirit;

⁵⁶ Among whom were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

² and by certain women who had been delivered from evil spirits and diseases, particularly Mary, called Magdalene, Out of whom had gone seven demons;

¹⁰ Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the rest with them, who told these things to the apostles.

¹² and seeth two angels robed in white, sitting one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain:

¹⁴ And, having said this, she turneth about and seeth Jesus standing, but did not know that it is Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom art thou seeking? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith to him, Sir, if thou hast taken him up; tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, Mary! She turning saith to him, Rabboni, that is to say, Teacher. ¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, Cling not to me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father: But go to my brethren and tell them, I am about to ascend to my Father and to your Father, and to my God and your God. ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and that he spoke these things to her. ¹⁹ In the evening, on that same day, the first day of the week, the doors where the disciples assembled being shut for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, "Peace be to you."

⁷ And on the first day of the week when the disciples assembled to break bread, Paul, being about to depart on the morrow, discoursed with them, and lengthened out the discourse till midnight.

² Every first day of the week, let every one of you lay by him, and put into a common treasury, what he can conveniently; that when I come there may be no collection then made.

¹⁰ I was in the spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like the sound of a trumpet,

¹⁵ And to them Jesus said, Can bridemen mourn, while the bridegroom is with them? The days indeed will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them and then they will fast.

³⁰ And then, all the tribes of the land will mourn: and they shall see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.

⁷² And a cock crowed a second time. Then Peter recollected what Jesus said to him, Before a cock crow twice, thou wilt three times deny me; and covering his head, he wept.

¹⁷ And he said to them, What matters are these about which you are conferring with one another on the road, and are sad?

⁶ But because I have told you these things, sorrow hath filled your hearts.

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, "You will weep and mourn; but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful; but your sorrow will be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman in travail hath sorrow, because her time is come; but when the child is born, she no more remembereth her anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. ²² So you at present are in grief; but I will see you again and your heart will be made joyful; and that joy of yours no one shall take from you.

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and that he spoke these things to her.

⁹ In these terms Moses spoke to the Israelites; but they hearkened not to him on account of their despondency, and on account of their hard labours.

¹⁶ And if I call and he will not answer, I do not believe that he hath hearkened to my voice?]

¹⁹ Thereupon Jesus, in reply to him, saith, O faithless generation! How long shall I be with you? How long am I to endure you! Bring him to me.

¹³ Whereupon these came and told the rest; but they did not believe them. ¹⁴ At length he appeared to the eleven, when they were at table, and upbraided them for their incredulity and obstinacy, because they did not believe them who had seen him after his resurrection.

¹¹ But their words appeared to them like an idle tale, and they did not believe them.

²³ and not finding his body, they came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive. ²⁴ Whereupon some of the men who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found matters just as the women said: but him they did not see. ²⁵ Then he said to them, O thoughtless, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory? ²⁷ Then beginning with Moses and proceeding through all the prophets, he explained to them, by all those writings, the things concerning himself. ²⁸ And when they drew near to the village to which they were going, he seemed as intending to go farther. ²⁹ But they pressed him, saying, Stay with us; for it is towards evening. The day is far spent. So he went in to stay with them. ³⁰ And when he was at table with them, he took the loaf, and blessed, and brake, and distributed to them. ³¹ Whereupon their eyes were opened, and they knew him, and he disappeared from them. ³² Then they said to one another, Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us on the road, and while he expounded the scriptures to us? ³³ Then rising up immediately, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those with them in a throng, ³⁴ affirming that the Lord is indeed risen and hath appeared to Simon. ³⁵ And they told the occurrences on the road, and how he became known to them by his breaking the loaf.

¹⁴ At length he appeared to the eleven, when they were at table, and upbraided them for their incredulity and obstinacy, because they did not believe them who had seen him after his resurrection.

¹³ And behold, on that same day, two of them were travelling to a village called Emmaus, which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem; ¹⁴ and they conversed with each other on all these occurrences. ¹⁵ And while they were conversing and reasoning together, Jesus himself drew near and travelled along with them. ¹⁶ But their eyes were withheld from knowing him. ¹⁷ And he said to them, What matters are these about which you are conferring with one another on the road, and are sad? ¹⁸ Thereupon one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said to him, Art thou such a stranger in Jerusalem as not to know the things which have happened there in these days? ¹⁹ And he said, What things? They answered him, Those respecting Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a great prophet, mighty in miracles and doctrine before God and all the people ²⁰ how our chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and they have crucified him. ²¹ Now we were hoping that he is the person who would soon deliver Israel. But indeed with all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. ²² But again some women of our company have astonished us; having been at the sepulchre very early in the morning, ²³ and not finding his body, they came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive. ²⁴ Whereupon some of the men who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found matters just as the women said: but him they did not see. ²⁵ Then he said to them, O thoughtless, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory? ²⁷ Then beginning with Moses and proceeding through all the prophets, he explained to them, by all those writings, the things concerning himself. ²⁸ And when they drew near to the village to which they were going, he seemed as intending to go farther. ²⁹ But they pressed him, saying, Stay with us; for it is towards evening. The day is far spent. So he went in to stay with them. ³⁰ And when he was at table with them, he took the loaf, and blessed, and brake, and distributed to them. ³¹ Whereupon their eyes were opened, and they knew him, and he disappeared from them. ³² Then they said to one another, Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us on the road, and while he expounded the scriptures to us?

¹⁴ This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to these his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.

³¹ And Abraham said to him, If they will not hearken to Moses, and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one should rise from the dead.

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

¹¹ And the Lord said to Moses, How long shall this people provoke me? And how long will they disbelieve me, notwithstanding all the miracles which I have done among them?

⁸ To-day, since you have heard his voice, let not your hearts be refractory as at the great provocation"as in the day of the temptation in the desert, ⁹ [J] where your father"s tried me; they proved me, though they had seen my works. ¹⁰ Forty years. I was incensed with that generation, and said, They do always err with the heart; and have not known my ways; so in mine indignation, ¹¹ I solemnly said, They shall not enter into my rest.

²⁰ Then he began to upbraid the cities in which the most of his miracles had been done, because they had not reformed.

¹⁶ Whereupon Jesus said, Are you also yet without understanding? ¹⁷ Do you not yet perceive, that whatever entereth in at the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is thrown out into the sink?

⁸ And Jesus knowing this, said to them, Why do ye reason among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because you have not brought loaves? ⁹ Have you yet no reflection? Or do ye not remember the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many panniers you carried off; ¹⁰ nor the seven loaves among the four thousand, and how many baskets you carried off? ¹¹ How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you of bread, when I cautioned you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees?

²⁰ And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to that mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it would remove; and nothing would be impossible to you:

¹⁸ Whereupon he saith to them, Are you also so void of understanding? Do you not perceive that nothing which entereth into a man from without can defile him;

¹⁷ Jesus, perceiving this, saith to them, Why do you imagine that it is because you have not bread? Are you yet so void of sense and understanding? Have you hearts still callous? ¹⁸ Having eyes do you not see? And having ears do you not hear? And have you no memory?

¹¹ but when they heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, they did not believe. ¹² After that, he appeared in another form, to two of them as they were walking into the country. ¹³ Whereupon these came and told the rest; but they did not believe them.

²⁵ Then he said to them, O thoughtless, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

³⁶ And while they were thus speaking, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them; and saith to them, Peace be to you. ³⁷ At which they were affrighted, and, being in terror, thought they saw a spirit; ³⁸ he said to them, Why are you alarmed? And why do groundless surmises arise in your hearts? ³⁹ View my hands and my feet; that it is I myself; handle me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as you see me have. ⁴⁰ While saying this, he shewed them his hands and his feet. ⁴¹ And as they were still diffident on account of their joy, and in amaze, he said to them, Have you any food here? ⁴² Thereupon they gave him a piece of broiled fish and part of a honey comb, ⁴³ which he took and ate before them.

¹⁹ In the evening, on that same day, the first day of the week, the doors where the disciples assembled being shut for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, "Peace be to you." ²⁰ And having said this, he shewed them his hands and his side, and the disciples were rejoiced at seeing the Lord.

²⁷ Then he saith to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger and behold my hands! and reach thy hand and put it in to my side; and be not an unbeliever, but a believer.

⁷ Wherefore as the Holy Spirit saith, "Today since you have heard his voice, ⁸ Let not your hearts be refractory as at Bitterness as in the day of the temptation in the wilderness;

¹⁵ exhort one another daily by its being said, "Today since you have heard his voice let not your hearts be refractory as at Bitterness." ¹⁶ For some hearers provoked him; but did they not all come out of Egypt by Moses? ¹⁷ Now, against whom was he incensed forty years? Was it not against them who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ And to whom did he solemnly say that they should not enter into his rest, but to them who were disobedient. ¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

¹⁹ Whomsoever I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and reform.

²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him:

¹ For the conclusion. Among the Hymns. A Psalm by David. GOD be merciful to us, and bless us; and may he cause his face to shine on us. ² Because of knowing thy way on the earth, thy salvation among all nations;

³ proclaim his glory among the nations; his wonderous works among all the tribes

³ He remembered his mercy for Jacob; and his truth to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

¹⁰ [p] Sing to the Lord a new song, ye, his government! Praise his name, ye from the utmost border of the earth, ye who go clown on the sea and navigate it, ye islands, and ye who dwell therein. ¹¹ Let the desert be glad and the villages thereof; the folds for flocks and them who inhabit Kedar: let the inhabitants of Petra rejoice; let them shout from the top of the mountains: ¹² to this God let them ascribe glory; let them proclaim his powers among the isles.

²² Turn to me and ye shall be saved, ye from the farthest part of the earth, I am God and there is none else.

⁶ Moreover he said to me, Is it a great thing for thee to be called my servant to reestablish the tribes of Jacob and bring back the dispersion of Israel? Behold I have given thee for the covenant of a race; for the light of nations; that thou mayst be for salvation to the farthest part of the earth.

¹⁰ let the Lord therefore make bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations! and let all the ends of the earth see the salvation come from our God.

¹ Be enlightened: be enlightened, Jerusalem! for thy light is come; and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. ² Behold darkness will cover the earth and thick darkness the nations: but upon thee the Lord will shine and his glory over thee will be conspicuous. ³ And kings will walk by thy light: and nations by thy splendour.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth, having given them a charge, saying, Go not away to the Gentiles, nor enter a city of the Samaritans; ⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel:

¹⁹ Go therefore and make all the nations disciples, baptizing them to the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,

¹⁰ For the glad tidings must be first proclaimed to all the nations.

¹⁰ Whereupon the angel said to them, Be not afraid; for lo! I bring you glad tidings; matter of great joy, which it will be to all the people ¹¹ That to you there is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.

³¹ which thou hast prepared in the sight of all peoples, ³² a light to illuminate the nations; the glory of thy people Israel.

²¹ So the servant came and told his master these things. And the master of the family, being incensed, said to his servant, Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and the maimed, and the lame, and the blind. ²² And when the servant said, Master, I have done as thou didst command, and still there is room; ²³ the master said to the servant, Go out to the highways and hedges, and press people to come that my house may be full.

⁴⁷ and that for his name reformation and remission of sins should be proclaimed to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ Now you are witnesses of these things.

¹⁶ It was not you who chose me; but it was I who chose you, and placed you that you may go forth bearing fruit, and that your fruit may continue, that the Father may give you whatever you ask of him in my name.

²¹ Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be to you. As the Father sent me so I send you.

⁸ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit is come upon you; and you shall be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the remotest part of the earth.

¹⁸ But I say, Have they not heard? What! Is their sound then gone forth to every land; and their doctrines to the limits of the world?

²⁶ but which is now laid open, and by prophetic writings made known to all the nations, according to an order of the everlasting God, for the obedience of belief

¹⁷ And being come he hath proclaimed the glad tidings of peace to you who were far off, and to them who were near.

⁶ which is come to you as it hath also to all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it doth among you, from the day you heard and acknowledged the favour of God in truth,

²³ provided you continue in this belief, grounded and settled, and are not moved away from the hope of the glad tidings which you have heard, which have been proclaimed to this whole creation under heaven, of which I Paul was made a minister.

¹⁴ and we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven having everlasting glad tidings to proclaim to the inhabitants of the earth even to every nation and tribe and tongue and people,

¹⁵ and saying, The time is accomplished, and the reign of God is at hand. Reform and confide in this good news.

¹² By the highway, are meant those hearers out of whose hearts the devil coming, taketh away the word, that they may not believe and be saved.

¹² But to as many as received him he granted the privilege of becoming children of God, even to them who believe in his name, ¹³ who were born, not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say to thee, unless a man be born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ that whosoever believeth in him may not perish; but have everlasting life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁸ He who believeth in him will not be condemned; but he who believeth not, is condemned already; because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness more than light, because their works were evil.

³⁶ He who believeth in the son, hath an everlasting life; but he who disbelieveth the son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God will abide on him.

²⁴ Verily, verily I say to you, He who heareth my word, and believeth on him who sent me, hath an everlasting life, and doth not incur condemnation, but hath passed from death to that life.

²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God that you believe in him whom he hath sent.

³⁵ Then Jesus said to them, I am the bread of that life. He who cometh to me, shall never hunger; and he who believeth in me, shall never thirst.

⁴⁰ And this is the will of him who sent me, that every one who seeth the son, and believeth in him, may have an everlasting life, and that I raise him up at the last day.

³⁷ It being now the last the great day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. ³⁸ He who believeth in me; as the scripture hath said, Out of his belly will flow streams of living water.

²⁴ therefore I said to you, You will die in your sins: for if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he who believeth in me, though he may die, shall live. ²⁶ And none who liveth and believeth in me shall ever die. Believest thou this?

⁴⁶ I being light am come into the world, that whoever believeth in me may not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ Now if any one hear my words and believe not; it is not I who condemn him; for I did not come to condemn the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ He who slighteth me and receiveth not my words, hath that which condemneth him; the word which I have spoken, that will condemn him at the last day.

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

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

⁴¹ Then they who gladly received his word were baptized, and about three thousand souls were that day added;

³⁶ And as they continued the journey, they came to a certain water. Whereupon the eunuch said, Behold! here is water. What hindereth my being baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said, If thou believest with thy whole heart, it may be done. To which he replied, I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. ³⁸ Then he ordered the chariot to stop. And they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹ And when they came up out of the water, the spirit of the Lord conveyed Philip away. And the eunuch saw him no more. For he proceeded on in his journey rejoicing,

⁴³ To him all the prophets bear witness, that every one who believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins by his name.

³⁹ and that by him every one who believeth is acquitted from all those sins, from which you Could not be acquitted by the law of Moses.

⁴⁶ Whereupon Paul and Barnabas with great freedom of speech said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken to you. But since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of this everlasting life, behold we turn to the Gentiles

³⁰ and having brought them out, said, O sirs, What must I do to be saved? ³¹ And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy household. ³² Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all that were in his house.

¹⁶ Now therefore why delayest thou? Arise, baptize and wash thee from thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.

⁶ No, by no means. In that case, how shall God judge the world?

²⁴ but for our sakes also to whom it will now be reckoned, namely to such as believe in him who hath raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,

⁹ That if thou wilt acknowledge with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe with thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth for righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made for salvation. ¹¹ For the scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth in him shall not be shamed." ¹² For there is no distinction of Jew and Greek; for he is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call upon him; ¹³ "For whosoever will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." ¹⁴ How then shall they call on 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 proclaimer?

⁸ executing, with flaming fire, vengeance on them who know not God, and on them who hearken not to the glad tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹² that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.

³⁸ now the just shall live because of faith; but if he, through fear, draw back; my soul hath no pleasure in him." ³⁹ But we are not of them who draw back for perdition; but of them who believe for the attainment of life.

²¹ who by him believe in God, who hath raised him from the dead, and hath given him glory, so that you may have faith and hope in God.

²¹ an antitype to which, namely baptism, [not a removal of the filth of the flesh, but an earnest conscientious application to God] doth now save us also, by means of the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ He who believeth in the son of God hath this testimony in himself: he who doth not believe God, impeacheth his veracity, because he believeth not the testimony which God hath given concerning his son. ¹¹ Now this is the testimony, that God hath given us everlasting life, and this life is by his son: ¹² he who hath the son hath this life: he who hath not the son of God hath not this life. ¹³ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the son of God, that you may know that you have everlasting life; and that you may believe in the name of the son of God:

¹⁵ And whoever was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

⁸ but the cowards and the unbelieving and abominable and murderers and prostitutes, and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. This is the second death.

³⁸ Then John addressed him, saying, Teacher, we saw one who doth not accompany us, casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he doth not accompany us.

¹⁷ And when the seventy returned with joy, saying, Master, even the demons are subject to us through thy name;

¹² Verily, verily, I say to you, He who believeth in me, even he shall do the works which I do; nay, works greater than these he shall do, because I am going to my Father,

⁴ And they were all filled with a holy spirit and began to speak in different languages, as the spirit gave them to make solemn addresses. ⁵ Now there were residing at Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. ⁶ So when this report spread, the multitude came together and were confounded. Because every one heard them speaking in his own peculiar dialect; ⁷ therefore they were astonished and expressed their amazement, saying one to another, Behold! are not all these men who speak, Galileans?" ⁸ How then do we hear, every one in his own native tongue! ⁹ Parthians and Medes and Elamites and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia and Judea, and Capadocia, Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphilia, Egypt and the parts of Lybia about Gyrene, the Roman strangers also both Jews and Proselytes, ¹¹ Cretans and Arabs, we hear them speaking, in our own tongues, the wonderful dispensations of God.

³³ Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he hath poured out this which you now see and hear.

¹⁶ But when the multitude also of the cities around flocked to Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those who were tormented with unclean spirits, who were all cured;

⁷ For unclean spirits, with which many were possessed, went out of them with loud outcries: and many paralytic and lame persons were cured.

⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking in divers languages and magnifying God.

¹⁸ And this she did for many days. At length Paul, being troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out of her. And at that instant it went out.

⁶ and Paul having laid his hands on them, the holy spirit came upon them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

¹² so that handkerchiefs and aprons were carried from his body to them who were sick, and the diseases were removed from them, and evil spirits went out of them. ¹³ Upon this some of the strolling Jewish exorcists attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus, over them who had these evil spirits, saying, "We adjure you by that Jesus whom Paul proclaimeth" ¹⁴ Now there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this. ¹⁵ Upon which the evil spirit in reply said, Jesus I know, and I have some knowledge of Paul: but who are ye? ¹⁶ Then the man, in whom was the evil spirit, springing upon them, and getting a mastery over them, prevailed against them so that they fled out of his house naked and wounded.

¹⁰ and to another, mighty powers of working miracles; and to another, the gift of prophecy; and to another, that of discerning spirits; and to another, divers languages; and to another, the interpretation of languages.

²⁸ whom God hath placed in the congregation; first, apostles, secondly, prophets, thirdly, teachers, then miraculous powers, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, different languages.

³⁰ Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak divers languages? Are all interpreters?

¹ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, if I have not love, I am but a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal;

² For he who speaketh in a strange language, speaketh not to men but to God: for none understandeth; and with a spirit he speaketh mysteries.

⁴ He who speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he who prophesieth, edifieth a congregation. ⁵ Now I wish you all to speak with tongues; but much rather that you should prophesy: For he who prophesieth is greater than he who speaketh with tongues, unless some one interpret, that the congregation may be edified. ⁶ For instance, should I, brethren, come to you, speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I explain to you what I say, be it either a revelation, or science, or a prophecy, or a doctrine. ⁷ In like manner with regard to inanimate things which give a sound, whether pipe or kithara, unless they produce distinct notes, how can it be known what that is, which is played on the pipe or kithara. ⁸ For if even a trumpet give an undistinguishable sound who will prepare himself for battle? ⁹ So also with regard to you, unless you utter with the tongue a discourse of a clear signification, how can that which is spoken be known? You will be indeed talking to the air. ¹⁰ Let there be ever so many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them without signification, ¹¹ if I do not know the meaning of the sound I shall be to the speaker a barbarian, and he who speaketh will be the same to me. ¹² Such also is the case with you. Since you then are ambitious of spiritual gifts, seek to abound in such as tend to the improvement of the congregation. ¹³ Let him therefore who speaketh in an unknown tongue, pray that he may interpret. ¹⁴ For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. ¹⁵ What then is to be done? I am to pray with the spirit and to pray with the understanding also. I am to sing with the spirit, and to sing with the understanding also. ¹⁶ Otherwise if thou bless with the spirit, how can he who occupieth the place of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving thanks, when he knoweth not what thou sayest? ¹⁷ Thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. ¹⁸ I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than you all; ¹⁹ but in a congregation I would rather speak five words with my understanding that I may instruct others, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. ²⁰ Brethren, be not children in your understandings; but be infants in malice; and in your understandings full grown men. ²¹ It is written in the law, "By men of strange tongues and with strange lips I will speak to this people; yet for all this they will not hearken to me, saith the Lord." ²² So that these strange tongues are for a sign, not for them who believe; but for unbelievers. But prophesying is not for unbelievers, but for them who believe. ²³ If therefore the whole congregation assemble and all speak with unknown tongues, and there should come in any uninstructed persons or unbelievers, would they not say that you are raving? ²⁴ But if all prophesy, and any unbeliever or uninstructed person come in, he is convicted by all; examined by all; ²⁵ and thus the secrets of his heart are laid open, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God, declaring that God is indeed among you. ²⁶ What then, brethren, is to be done? When you come together every one of you hath a psalm; hath a doctrine; hath a strange tongue; hath a revelation; hath an interpretation; let all be for edification;

¹⁵ And I will put enmity between thee and the woman; and between thy seed and her seed. He will wound thy head, and thou wilt wound his heel."

³⁹ And one went out into the fields to gather herbs, and having found a vine in the fields he gathered from it a lapful of wild berries and threw them into the kettle of soup; for they did not know them. ⁴⁰ Then they poured out for the men to eat: but when they had eaten of the pottage, behold they cried out and said, There is death in the kettle, man of God: for they could not eat. ⁴¹ Whereupon he said, Take some meal and throw it into the kettle. Then Elisha said to his servant Giezi, Pour out for the people and let them eat. And there was no more any thing disagreeable in the kettle.

¹³ Upon an asp and a basilisk thou shalt tread: and trample down a lion and a dragon.

²³ and intreateth him earnestly, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death, pray come and lay thy hands on her that she may be cured, and she will live.

¹⁹ behold I give you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall in anywise hurt you.

⁶ Then Peter said, Silver and gold I have none. But what I have, that I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk. ⁷ Then having taken him by the right hand he raised him up. And instantly his feet and ankle bones were strengthened; ⁸ and leaping up, he stood; then walked and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

¹² Now when Peter saw this he thus addressed the people. "Men of Israel, why wonder ye at this? Or why do ye fix your eyes on us, as if we by our own power or piety had made this man walk?

¹⁶ Now for the belief in his name, his name hath strengthened this man whom you see and know. Yes, the belief which is by him hath given this man this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

²² For the man, upon whom this miracle of healing was performed, was above forty years old.

³⁰ when thou stretchest forth thy hand for healing; and signs and. wonders are done by the name of thy holy child, Jesus.

¹⁵ so that in every street they brought out the sick and laid them on beds and couches, that the shadow of Peter as he went along might overshadow some of them. ¹⁶ But when the multitude also of the cities around flocked to Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those who were tormented with unclean spirits, who were all cured;

¹⁷ So Ananias went and entered the house, and having laid his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, The Lord, even Jesus who appeared to thee on the road as thou camest, hath sent me that thou mayst recover sight and be filled with a holy spirit. ¹⁸ Upon this there fell immediately from his eyes something like scales, and instantly he recovered sight. Then he arose and was baptized;

³⁴ And Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus, The Christ, cureth thee. Arise and make thy bed." And he arose immediately.

⁴⁰ Then Peter, having put them all out, kneeled down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. Upon which she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, sat up. ⁴¹ Then Peter giving her his hand, helped her up, and having called the saints and the widows, presented her alive. ⁴² And this was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

¹² so that handkerchiefs and aprons were carried from his body to them who were sick, and the diseases were removed from them, and evil spirits went out of them.

³ And as Paul having gathered a bundle of sticks was laying them on the fire, a viper coming out from the heat, fastened on his hand. ⁴ When the barbarians saw the venomous creature hanging to his hand they said to one another, This man is certainly a murderer whom vengeance suffereth not to live, though he hath escaped from the sea. ⁵ He indeed shaked off the venomous creature into the fire, and suffered no harm; ⁶ but they expected that he would swell or fall dead suddenly. But when they had waited a considerable time and saw no mishap befal him, they changed their minds and said, He is a god.

⁸ And it happened that the father of Publius being seized with a fever and a dysentery, was confined to his bed, to whom Paul went in and having prayed, laid his hands on him, and cured him. ⁹ This therefore being done, the rest in the island who had diseases came and were cured.

²⁰ And the God of peace will soon bruise satan under your feet. The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

⁹ and to another, faith, by the same spirit; and to another, gifts of healing, by the same spirit;

¹⁴ Is any among you sick, let him send for the elders of the congregation, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of this faith will cure the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And though he may have committed sin, he will be forgiven.

¹ A Psalm. By David. The Lord said to my Lord; sit at my right hand; till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

¹⁸ Then Jesus came near and spoke to them, saying, All power in heaven and on earth is given to me. ¹⁹ Go therefore and make all the nations disciples, baptizing them to the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all that I commanded you. And lo! I am with you all the days to the conclusion of this age. Amen.

⁵¹ Now when the days of his being received up were about to be completed, he resolutely set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁴⁴ Then he said to them, This is what I told you while I was yet with you, That all the things written concerning me in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, must needs be accomplished. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds that they might understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶ and he said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer and rise from the dead on the third day; ⁴⁷ and that for his name reformation and remission of sins should be proclaimed to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ Now you are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And behold I will send upon you what my father promised. And as for you, reside ye in the city of Jerusalem until you are indued with power from on high. ⁵⁰ After that he led them out to Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them; ⁵¹ and while he was blessing them, he was parted from them and carried up into heaven;

⁶² What if you see the son of man ascending up where he was before.

¹ . Now before this festival of the passover, as Jesus knew that his time was come that he should remove from this world to the father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the last.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father and am come into the world. Again I leave the world and am going to the Father.

⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. ⁵ Now therefore, O Father, glorify thou me, with thyself, with that glory which I had in thy presence before the world was.

¹³ but I am now coming to thee, and I speak these things in this world, that they may have their joy in me completed in them.

¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, Cling not to me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father: But go to my brethren and tell them, I am about to ascend to my Father and to your Father, and to my God and your God.

¹⁵ So when they had breakfasted, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith to him, Feed my lambs.

²² Jesus saith to him, If I will that he stay till I come, what is that to thee?

² till the day when he was taken up, after giving a charge by the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen, ³ and to whom he had, after his suffering, shewn himself to be alive, by many proofs, during forty days appearing to them, and speaking of what concerned the kingdom of God.

⁹ And having said this, while they were beholding [him] he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. ¹⁰ And as they continued looking stedfastly up to heaven, while he was going, behold! two men stood near them, robed in white, ¹¹ who addressed them, saying, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? This same Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner as you have seen him going to heaven.

²¹ whom the heaven must receive till the time of the consummation of all which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets of old:

⁵⁵ But he being full of a holy spirit, having his eyes fixed towards heaven, beheld the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God: ⁵⁶ whereupon he said, Behold! I see the heavens opened and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.

³⁴ who is he who shall condemn? Christ who died? Rather indeed who is raised up, who is actually at the right hand of God, and who maketh intercession for us?

²⁴ then the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God the father, when he shall have put a stop to all empire and all authority, and all power. ²⁵ For he must reign until he hath put all the enemies under his feet.

²⁰ of his which he exerted in the Christ: Having raised Him from the dead, he set him at his right hand, in the heavenly kingdom, ²¹ far above all principality and power, and might, and dominion, and every name which is named, not only in this age but in that to come; ²² and put all things under his feet, and constituted him head over all for the congregation,

⁸ Therefore it is said, "Having ascended on high, he hath led captivity captive, and "he hath given gifts to men." ⁹ Now this expression, "He ascended" what doth it infer, but that he had first descended into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended is the same who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all; ¹¹ and he hath given some to be apostles, and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some pastors, and teachers,

¹ Since you then have been raised up with the Christ, seek the things which are above; where the Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

¹⁶ [and unquestionably great is the mystery of this religion,] God hath been manifested in flesh, justified by spirit, hath appeared to messengers, been proclaimed among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

³ who being an effulgence of the glory, and an impress of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having by himself made a purification of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high,

¹⁴ Having therefore a great chief priest who hath passed through the heavens, namely Jesus the son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not a chief priest incapable of sympathizing in our infirmities; but one who hath been tried in all respects like ourselves, but without sin.

²⁰ whither a forerunner hath entered for us, namely Jesus, made a chief priest forever, after the order of Melchisedek.

²⁶ For it suited us to have such a chief priest"one holy, innocent, undefined, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens,

¹ Now the sum of what I have said is this, Such a chief priest we have who hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens:

²⁴ For the Christ did not enter into holies made with hands, the symbols of the true; but into heaven itself; now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf:

¹² but he having offered for sins one sacrifice, to last for ever, sat down at the right hand of God, ¹³ thenceforth waiting till his enemies are made his footstool.

¹⁹ As we, therefore, brethren, have, by virtue of the blood of Jesus, free access to the holies 20 by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, his flesh;

²¹ and a great high priest over the house of God, ²² let us come with a true heart in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and the body washed with pure water.

² looking forward to Jesus, the leader and perfecter of this faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured a cross, despising shame, and hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

²² who, having gone to heaven, is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

²⁰ Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any one will hearken to my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me. ²¹ To him who overcometh I will grant to sit with me on my throne, as I have overcome, and sit with my Father on his throne.

¹ Now when the day of pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in the same place. ² And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a mighty rushing wind, which filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³ And there appeared to them separate tongues, as of fire, and it settled on each of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with a holy spirit and began to speak in different languages, as the spirit gave them to make solemn addresses. ⁵ Now there were residing at Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. ⁶ So when this report spread, the multitude came together and were confounded. Because every one heard them speaking in his own peculiar dialect; ⁷ therefore they were astonished and expressed their amazement, saying one to another, Behold! are not all these men who speak, Galileans?" ⁸ How then do we hear, every one in his own native tongue! ⁹ Parthians and Medes and Elamites and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia and Judea, and Capadocia, Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphilia, Egypt and the parts of Lybia about Gyrene, the Roman strangers also both Jews and Proselytes, ¹¹ Cretans and Arabs, we hear them speaking, in our own tongues, the wonderful dispensations of God. ¹² So they were all amazed and in suspense, saying to one another, What can be the meaning of this? ¹³ But others scoffingly said, They are filled with sweet wine. ¹⁴ Whereupon Peter, as he was standing with the eleven, raised his voice and thus solemnly addressed them, "Men of Judea and all ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, let this be made known to you; and listen attentively to my words: ¹⁵ for these men are not drunk as you suppose; for it is but the third hour of the day. ¹⁶ But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel, ¹⁷ "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out a portion of 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 upon my servants, and upon my handmaids, in those days I will pour out a portion of my spirit, and they shall prophesy: ¹⁹ and I will exhibit wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood and fire and smoky vapour. ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and illustrious day of the Lord. ²¹ And it shall come to pass, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. ²² "Men of Israel hear these words Jesus the Nazarene, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God performed by him among you, as you yourselves know. ²³ Him, being surrendered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken; and by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain. ²⁴ Him God hath raised up, having loosed the bonds of death, as it was not possible that he could be holden by it: ²⁵ for concerning him David saith, I saw the Lord continually before me: because he is at my right hand that I may not be moved; ²⁶ therefore my heart was gladdened, and my tongue exulted with joy; and moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope, ²⁷ that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou hast made known to me the ways of life. Thou with thy presence wilt fill me with joy."

¹² and by the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people: Now they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch,

⁴ They, however, who were dispersed, went about proclaiming the glad tidings of the word; ⁵ and Philip having come to a city of Samaria, proclaimed to them the Christ. ⁶ And the crowds with one accord attended to what were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signal miracles which he performed.

³ They, however, staid there a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord who gave attestation to the word of his grace, and granted signs and miracles to be done by their hands.

⁸ Now at Lystra there sat a man who had no use of his feet, being a cripple from his birth, who had never walked. ⁹ This man was listening to Paul speaking, who fixing his eyes upon him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, ¹⁰ said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. Upon which he leaped up and walked.

¹⁹ by virtue of signs and wonders, by the power of the spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem and the country around even to Illyricum, I have confirmed the glad tidings of the Christ,

⁴ and my discourse and my proclamation was not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but with a demonstration of spirit and power, ⁵ that your belief might not be by the wisdom of men, but by the power of God.

⁶ I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. ⁷ So that neither the planter nor the waterer is any thing; it is God only who giveth growth. ⁸ Now he who planteth and he who watereth are all one; and each shall receive his peculiar reward according to his peculiar labour. ⁹ For we are fellow labourers belonging to God; you are God's field; you are his building.

¹ and cooperating with him, we also exhort you that it may not be in vain that you have received this favour of God.

⁴ God giving a joint testimony, by signs, and wonders, and divers miracles, and distributions of a holy spirit, according to his own will.
