A woman when she is in labor, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she is delivered of the child, she thinks no more of the anguish, for joy, that a man is born into the world.

And in that day ye shall ask me nothing: but I assure you, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He will give it you.

Hitherto ye have asked for nothing in my name: ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I do not say that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

For the Father himself loveth you; because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came from God: and I indeed came from the Father,

Now we are convinced that Thou knowest all things, and hast no need that any one should ask Thee: by this we believe that Thou camest forth from God.

Behold, the time is coming, and is even now come, that ye shall be dispersed every one his own way, and shall leave me alone: but I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have trouble: but be of good courage, I have overcome the world.

When Jesus had spoken these words, He lifted up his eyes to heaven and said,--- "Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify Thee:

as Thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that as to all which Thou hast given Him, He might give them eternal life;

They now know that all things whatsoever Thou hast given me, are indeed from Thee;

for the instructions, which Thou gavest me, I have given to them: and they have received them, and have known of a truth that I came from Thee, and have believed that thou hast sent me.

And as I am to be no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to Thee, Holy Father, keep by thy name those whom Thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; I have preserved those whom Thou gavest me, and none of them is lost; except the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these things in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

I do not pray that Thou wouldest take them out of the world, but that thou wouldest keep them from the evil.

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth.

Nor do I pray for these only, but for them also that shall believe on me through their word.

That they all may be one, as Thou, O Father, art in me, and I in Thee; that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

And the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them: that they may be one, even as we are one.

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved me.

Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for Thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

O righteous Father, the world indeed hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent me.

And I have made known to them thy name, and will farther make it known; that the love wherewith Thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I also in them.

Upon which Jesus, who knew all that was coming upon Him, went forth and said unto them, Whom do ye seek? They answered Him, Jesus the Nazarene.

Jesus saith unto them, I am He. And Judas that betrayed Him, was standing with them.

And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am He: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

That the word might be fulfilled which He had spoken, "Of those, whom Thou hast given me, I have lost none."

and led Him away to Annas first: (for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high-priest that year:) (18:24) and Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high-priest.

Now Caiaphas was he who had said in council to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

And Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. And that other disciple being known to the high priest went in with Jesus into the high-priest's hall.

But Peter stood at the door without: the other disciple therefore, who was known to the high-priest, went out and spake to her that kept the door, and brought Peter in.

Then saith the maid, that kept the door, to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? and he said, I am not.

ask them that heard me, what I have said unto them: for they know what I have said.

And upon his saying these things, one of the officers that stood by struck Jesus, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest thus?

that what Jesus had said might be fulfilled, signifying by what death He should die.

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I might not have been delivered to the Jews: but my kingdom is not from hence.

Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art thou then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest right, I am a king. For this end was I born, and for this came I into the world, even that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.

and saith unto them, I find no fault at all in Him. But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I release to you the king of the Jews?

Pilate therefore came out again, and saith unto them, Behold I bring Him out to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him.

Pilate therefore saith unto Him, Dost thou not speak to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above; wherefore he, that delivered me up to thee, hath the greater sin.

And the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not "The king of the Jews," but that "He said, I am king of the Jews."

they said therefore to one another, Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots." These things therefore the soldiers did.

and then saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the same disciple took her to his own home.

After this Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, because it was now the preparation, (for that sabbath-day was an high-day) desired Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

So the soldiers came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with Him. But coming to Jesus,

And he that saw it testifieth it, and his testimony is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye may believe.

For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of Him shall be broken.

And after these things Joseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Jesus, but a concealed one for fear of the Jews) petitioned Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave: he came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.

Peter therefore went out, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

and the napkin that was upon his head, not laid with the linen cloths, but folded up by itself.

For they did not before understand the scripture, that He must rise from the dead.

And having said this, she turned back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

Then said Jesus to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek? She thinking that it was the gardener, saith to Him, Sir, if thou hast carried Him hence, tell me where thou hast laid Him, and I will take Him away.

Jesus saith unto her, Mary: and she turned herself and said unto Him, Rabboni, that is to say, Master.

So Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples, that she had seen the Lord, and that He had said these things to her.

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

but these things are written, that ye may believe, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life through his name.

and Simon Peter saith unto them, I will go a fishing, and they say to him, We will also go with thee. So they went out, and forthwith entered into a ship: and that night they caught nothing.

But when it was morning, Jesus stood on the shore: though the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

Whereupon that disciple whom Jesus loved, saith to Peter, "It is the Lord." Then Simon Peter perceiving that it was the Lord, girded on his coat, (for he was stript,) and threw himself into the sea;

Jesus saith unto them, Come, and dine. And none of the disciples presumed to ask Him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

This was the third time that Jesus shewed Himself to a number of his disciples, after He was risen from the dead.

Now when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these? He saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

He saith to him again the second time, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me? He saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee.

He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me? Peter was grieved, that He said to him the third time, Dost thou love me? And he said unto Him, Lord, Thou knowest all things, Thou knowest that I love Thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

And Peter turning about seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, (and who leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he that will betray Thee?) following them;

Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he stay till I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me.

This rumor therefore was spread among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: though Jesus did not say that he should not die, but--- if I will that he stay till I come, what is that to thee?

This is the disciple that testifieth of these things, and that writeth them: and we know that his testimony is true.

There are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were to be described particularly, I suppose that the whole world could not contain the books that would be written concerning them. Amen.

The former treatise, O Theophilus, I made concerning all that Jesus undertook both to do and to teach;

And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, (now the number of the persons that were together was about an hundred and twenty,)

and said, Men and brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the holy Ghost spake by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus:

(and it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, the field of blood:)

Wherefore it is necessary that one of these men, who have been conversant with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and out among us,

from the baptism of John, till the day that He was taken up from us, should be joined with us as a witness of his resurrection.

to take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas is fallen by his transgression, that he might go to his own place.

And they were all amazed and wondered, saying to one another, Behold, are not all these, that are speaking, Galileans?

Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those that dwell in Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Capadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia,

But Peter standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and listen to my words:

But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel,

"And it shall come to pass in the last days (saith God) that I will pour out 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:

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and illustrious day of the Lord come.

Whom God hath raised up again, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

For David saith concerning Him, "I set the Lord always before me, for He is at my right hand, that I should not be moved: therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;

that Thou wilt not leave my soul in the invisible state, nor suffer thine holy one to see corruption.

Men and brethren, allow me to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he is dead and buried, and his sepulchre is among us to this day.

Therefore being a prophet; and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah, to sit on his throne;

foreseeing this he spake of the resurrection of Christ, when he said, that his soul was not left in the invisible state, nor did his flesh see corruption.

Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made this very Jesus, whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.

for the promise is to you and to your children, yea and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

They therefore that received his word with readiness were baptized: and in that same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

And all that believed were together, and had all things common.

And a certain man who had been lame from his birth was carried along; whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those that were going into the temple:

and knew that it was he who sat to ask for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with astonishment and extasy at what had befallen him.

And as the lame man that was healed had hold of Peter and John, all the people being astonished ran together to them to the porch called Solomon's porch.

And now, brethren, I know that ye did it through ignorance, as did also your rulers:
