When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He *said to him, “Do you wish to get well?”

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place.

There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.

Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.

“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?”

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

There came other small boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.

There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray.”

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.

And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He was staying there.

Many believed in Him there.

The disciples *said to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?”

Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.”

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and consoling her, when they saw that Mary got up quickly and went out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

Jesus *said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, *said to Him, “Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

Therefore Jesus no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples.

So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast;

If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in which He entered with His disciples.

Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.

There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.

A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.

Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

and stooping and looking in, he *saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.

And so Simon Peter also *came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he *saw the linen wrappings lying there,

When she had said this, she turned around and *saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.

Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written.

At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together), and said,

And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.

Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.

So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of high-priestly descent.

And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales

Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. From there, after his father died, God had him move to this country in which you are now living.

But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers there the first time.

And Jacob went down to Egypt and there he and our fathers died.

From there they were removed to Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

until there arose another king over Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph.

When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he approached to look more closely, there came the voice of the Lord:

‘Heaven is My throne,
And earth is the footstool of My feet;
What kind of house will you build for Me?’ says the Lord,
‘Or what place is there for My repose?

So there was much rejoicing in that city.

Now there was a man named Simon, who formerly was practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great;

So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship,

Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”

And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized;

There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years, for he was paralyzed.

Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated in Greek is called Dorcas); this woman was abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did.

Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, “Do not delay in coming to us.”

Now there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian cohort,

and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air.

and calling out, they were asking whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was staying there.

But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus.

One of them named Agabus stood up and began to indicate by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine all over the world. And this took place in the reign of Claudius.

Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what could have become of Peter.

When Herod had searched for him and had not found him, he examined the guards and ordered that they be led away to execution. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and was spending time there.

Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

Therefore they spent a long time there speaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the word of His grace, granting that signs and wonders be done by their hands.

and there they continued to preach the gospel.

From there they sailed to Antioch, from which they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had accomplished.

After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe.

After they had spent time there, they were sent away from the brethren in peace to those who had sent them out.

[But it seemed good to Silas to remain there.]

And there occurred such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.

Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek,

and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia, a Roman colony; and we were staying in this city for some days.

And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled.

and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened.

Now when they had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

and Jason has welcomed them, and they all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.”

But when the Jews of Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there as well, agitating and stirring up the crowds.

Then immediately the brethren sent Paul out to go as far as the sea; and Silas and Timothy remained there.

(Now all the Athenians and the strangers visiting there used to spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)

Then he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next to the synagogue.

And he settled there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

but if there are questions about words and names and your own law, look after it yourselves; I am unwilling to be a judge of these matters.”

They came to Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

And having spent some time there, he left and passed successively through the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”

There were in all about twelve men.

Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
