Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"

They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I AM." Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

Jesus answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"

Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?"

So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jewish leaders, seized Jesus and bound him,

Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;

The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.

Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jewish people come together. I said nothing in secret.

When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"

Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"

They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"

Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I would not be delivered to the Jewish leaders. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.

Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Look, here is the man."

He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."

When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called "The Pavement," but in Hebrew, "Gabbatha."

So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus.

where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.

Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

Therefore many Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.

Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, look, your son."

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty."

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jewish leaders, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, according to Jewish burial practice.

Then because of the Jewish Preparation Day (for the tomb was nearby) they put Jesus there.

Therefore 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 put him."

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

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

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."

Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabboni." which is to say, "Teacher."

Jesus said to her, "Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers, and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were, for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be to you."

Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."

But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

After eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace be to you."

Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed."

Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.

But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."

That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.

Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."

Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." None of the disciples dared inquire of him, "Who are you?" knowing that it was the Lord.

Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.

So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you have affection for me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus' chest at the supper and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?"

Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"

Jesus said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me."

This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?"

There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself would not have room for the books that would be written.

The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."

All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

"Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.

"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

"Men of Israel, hear these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,

This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.

"Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified."

Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

But Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk."

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

and that he may send Jesus, the Messiah who was ordained for you before,

being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they were amazed. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

"For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together

while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus."

With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming that Jesus is the Messiah.

For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us."

But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

But when they believed Philip proclaiming good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus.

He said, "Who are you, Lord?" The Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.

But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.

The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news of peace by Jesus Christ?he is Lord of all?

even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
