But I have spoken these things to you, that, when the time cometh, ye may remember that I myself told you of them. But these things I told you not at the beginning, because I was with you.

But I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I depart. For if I do not depart, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.

He will glorify me, for he will receive of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

Every thing that the Father hath is mine. For this cause I said, that he receiveth of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye will see me? and, Because I go to the Father?

They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We do not know what he is speaking of.

Jesus knew that they were desirous of asking him, and said to them, Is it of this that ye are inquiring of one another, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye will See me?

And in that day ye will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly do I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father, he will give it you in my name.

Behold, the hour is coming, yea, is now come, when ye will be scattered, every one to his own, and will leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

I manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.

I do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil.

Yet not for these alone do I pray, but also for those who believe in me through their word;

Righteous Father! and yet the world knew thee not! but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me.

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

Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and smote the servant of the highpriest, and cut off his right ear. And the servants name was Malchus.

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

And it was Caiaphas who counseled the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

But Peter was standing outside at the door. The other disciple therefore, who was an acquaintance of the highpriest, went out and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

And the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and were warming themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.

Why askest thou me? Ask those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, these know what I have said.

And when he had said this, one of the officers who was standing by struck Jesus on the face, saying, Is it thus that thou answerest the highpriest?

Jesus answered him, If I spoke what is evil, testify to the evil; but if well, why dost thou strike me?

Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governors palace; and it was early. And they did not themselves go into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

Pilate therefore went out to them, and saith, What accusation do ye bring against this man?

Pilate therefore said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death.

That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was to die.

Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done?

Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest what is true; for I am a king. For this end have I been born, and for this cause have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth listeneth to my voice.

Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find nothing criminal in him.

But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover: do ye desire, therefore, that I release to you the king of the Jews?

Then they cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and put on him a purple robe, and approached him

When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify! crucify! Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him; for I find nothing criminal in him.

Jesus answered, Thou wouldst have no power against me, unless it had been given thee from above; for this cause he that delivered me up to thee hath the greater sin.

From this time Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not a friend of Caesar. Every one that maketh himself a king, setteth himself against Caesar.

Now it was the preparation of the passover. It was about the sixth hour. And he saith to the Jews, Behold your king!

Upon this they cried out, Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews."

This inscription therefore was read by many of the Jews; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.

They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. That the scripture might be fulfilled: "They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots." These things the soldiers did.

A vessel was brought full of vinegar; and putting a sponge filled with vinegar upon a stalk of hyssop, they raised it to his mouth.

When therefore he had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished! and he bowed his head, and yielded up his spirit.

The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, for that sabbath was a great day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.

And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knoweth that he saith what is true, that ye also may believe.

And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but concealing it for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. They came therefore and took him away.

Nicodemus also, he who at the first went to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews in preparing for burial.

There then, on account of the Jews preparationday, they laid Jesus; for the tomb was at hand.

But on the first day of the week Mary the Magdalene cometh early, while it was yet dark, to the tomb, and seeth that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they set out for the tomb.

For not even yet did they know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

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

Having said this, she turned back, and beheld Jesus standing; and knew not that it was Jesus.

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

Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first day of the week, and the doors where the disciples were had been shut for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be to you!

And after eight days the disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be to you!

Then he saith to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands, and reach forth thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.

Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.

After these things he manifested himself again to the disciples at the lake of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this manner.

Simon Peter saith to them, I am going a fishing. They say to him, We also will go with thee. They set out and went into the boat, and on that night caught nothing.

But when the morning was coming on, Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye will find. And they cast it, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of the fishes.

Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded on his outer garment, for he had on nothing but his under one, and threw himself into the lake.

Jesus saith to them, Come and breakfast. But no one of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

This he said, signifying by what manner of death he was to glorify God. And having thus spoken, he saith to him, Follow me.

Peter, turning round, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following,who also at supper leaned back on his breast, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?

Peter, seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and how will it be with him?

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

This report therefore went abroad among the brethren, that this disciple was not to die. And yet Jesus did not say to him, He will not die; but, If it be my will that he remain till I come, what is it to thee?

And while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [said he] ye heard from me;

They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?

But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.

And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,

Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.

Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.

And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, Field of Blood.

For it is written in the book of Psalms, "Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;" and, "Let another take his office."

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

And suddenly there came out of heaven a sound, as of a rushing mighty wind; and it filled the whole house where they were sitting;

Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.

and how is it that we every one hear them in our own language, wherein we were born?

Cretans and Arabianshow is it that we hear them speaking in our tongues the wonderful works of God?

And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What can this mean?

Others making sport of it, said, They are full of new wine.

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Men of Judea, and all that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words.

For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; for it is the third hour of the day;

but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel,

"It shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams;

and even on my servants, and on my handmaids, I will pour out of my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

And it shall be that every one that calleth on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

But God raised him up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

And when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what must we do?

And Peter and John were going up together to the temple, at the hour of prayer, which is the ninth hour.

And a certain man lame from his birth was carried along, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who entered the temple;
