When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today I must stay at your house.”

“Today salvation has come to this house,” Jesus told him, “because he too is a son of Abraham.

But bring here these enemies of mine, who did not want me to rule over them, and slaughter them in my presence.’”

They will crush you and your children within you to the ground, and they will not leave one stone on another in you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

So they answered that they did not know its origin.

But those who are counted worthy to take part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

Moses even indicated in the passage about the burning bush that the dead are raised, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

He is not God of the dead but of the living, because all are living to Him.”

“I tell you, Peter,” He said, “the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know Me!”

He also said to them, “When I sent you out without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?”

“Not a thing,” they said.

Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

So he kept asking Him questions, but Jesus did not answer him.

We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

And He said to him, “I assure you: Today you will be with Me in paradise.”

They went in but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground.

“Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men.

But these words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

He also said to them, “This is what is written: The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day,

That light shines in the darkness,
yet the darkness did not overcome it.

He was in the world,
and the world was created through Him,
yet the world did not recognize Him.

He came to His own,
and His own people did not receive Him.

But to all who did receive Him,
He gave them the right to be children of God,
to those who believe in His name,

He did not refuse to answer, but he declared: “I am not the Messiah.”

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law (and so did the prophets): Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth!”

Then He said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the chief servant.” And they did.

When the chief servant tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom

So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. And they believed the Scripture and the statement Jesus had made.

and because He did not need anyone to testify about man; for He Himself knew what was in man.

For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

You aren’t greater than our father Jacob, are You? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock.”

“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”

Now many Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of what the woman said when she testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”

When they entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him because they had seen everything He did in Jerusalem during the festival. For they also had gone to the festival.

But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.

And just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to anyone He wants to.

“I assure you: An hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee, since He did not want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill Him.

“I did one work, and you are all amazed,” Jesus answered.

They did not know He was speaking to them about the Father.

“Our father is Abraham!” they replied.

“If you were Abraham’s children,” Jesus told them, “you would do what Abraham did.

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!

Then the Jews said, “Now we know You have a demon. Abraham died and so did the prophets. You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste death—ever!’

The Jews did not believe this about him—that he was blind and received sight—until they summoned the parents of the one who had received his sight.

Then they asked him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

Jesus gave them this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.

“I did tell you and you don’t believe,” Jesus answered them. “The works that I do in My Father’s name testify about Me.

Many came to Him and said, “John never did a sign, but everything John said about this man was true.”

“Remove the stone,” Jesus said.

Martha, the dead man’s sister, told Him, “Lord, he’s already decaying. It’s been four days.”

The dead man came out bound hand and foot with linen strips and with his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him and let him go.”

Therefore, many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what He did believed in Him.

He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the one Jesus had raised from the dead.

Then a large crowd of the Jews learned He was there. They came not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus the one He had raised from the dead.

His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

Meanwhile, the crowd, which had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify.

Even though He had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in Him.

Nevertheless, many did believe in Him even among the rulers, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, so they would not be banned from the synagogue.

If anyone hears My words and doesn’t keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters. It was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters themselves; otherwise they would be defiled and unable to eat the Passover.

He went back into the headquarters and asked Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.

So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to see who gets it.” They did this to fulfill the Scripture that says: They divided My clothes among themselves, and they cast lots for My clothing. And this is what the soldiers did.

Since it was the preparation day, the Jews did not want the bodies to remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special day). They requested that Pilate have the men’s legs broken and that their bodies be taken away.

When they came to Jesus, they did not break His legs since they saw that He was already dead.

Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, yet he did not go in.

For they still did not understand the Scripture that He must rise from the dead.

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus.

When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore. However, the disciples did not know it was Jesus.

“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.

Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish.

This was now the third time Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead.

So this report spread to the brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”

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

“Men of Israel, listen to these words: This Jesus the Nazarene was a man pointed out to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did among you through Him, just as you yourselves know.

“Brothers, I can confidently speak to you about the patriarch David: He is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

Seeing this in advance, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Messiah:

He was not left in Hades,
and His flesh did not experience decay.

You killed the source of life, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this.

“And now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, just as your leaders also did.

because they were provoked that they were teaching the people and proclaiming the resurrection from the dead, using Jesus as the example.

If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a disabled man—by what means he was healed—

let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead—by Him this man is standing here before you healthy.

You said through the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David Your servant:

Why did the Gentiles rage
and the peoples plot futile things?

When he heard these words, Ananias dropped dead, and a great fear came on all who heard.

“Tell me,” Peter asked her, “did you sell the field for this price?”

“Yes,” she said, “for that price.”

Then Peter said to her, “Why did you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”

Instantly she dropped dead at his feet. When the young men came in, they found her dead, carried her out, and buried her beside her husband.

But when the temple police got there, they did not find them in the jail, so they returned and reported,

Then He gave him the covenant of circumcision. After this, he fathered Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; Isaac did the same with Jacob, and Jacob with the 12 patriarchs.

until a different king who did not know Joseph ruled over Egypt.

He assumed his brothers would understand that God would give them deliverance through him, but they did not understand.

I am the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. So Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look.

Then God turned away and gave them up to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:

House of Israel, did you bring Me offerings and sacrifices
40 years in the wilderness?

Did not My hand make all these things?

“You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Spirit; as your ancestors did, so do you.

Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They even killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become.

When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any longer. But he went on his way rejoicing.

He was unable to see for three days and did not eat or drink.

When he arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to associate with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, since they did not believe he was a disciple.

He was a devout man and feared God along with his whole household. He did many charitable deeds for the Jewish people and always prayed to God.
