Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?

(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)

Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.

Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.

For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it.

And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.

Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?

You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.

I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.

Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.

You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.

No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.

I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you.

Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.

So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?

So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.

Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.

Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?

So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done?

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.

But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.

So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, What about this man?

Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.

So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?

And they were all surprised and in doubt saying to one another, What is the reason of this?

Now when these words came to their ears their hearts were troubled, and they said to Peter and the other Apostles, Brothers, what are we to do?

But Peter said, I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up on your feet.

And they saw that it was the man who made requests for money at the door of the Temple, and they were full of wonder and surprise at what had taken place.

Then sending for Peter and John, they said, By what power and in whose name have you done this?

Saying, What are we to do with these men? for certainly it is clear to all who are living in Jerusalem that a most important sign has been done by them, and it is not possible to say that it is not so.

For it is not possible for us to keep from saying what we have seen and have knowledge of.

And when they had said more sharp words to them, they let them go, not seeing what punishment they might give them, because of the people; for all men were giving praise to God for what had taken place.

And about three hours after, his wife, having no knowledge of what had taken place, came in.

Now, at these words, the captain of the Temple and the chief priests were greatly troubled about what might be the end of this business.

And he said to them, Men of Israel, take care what you do about these men.

And saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has become of him.

Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is a resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, says the Lord, or what is my place of rest?

But Peter said, May your money come to destruction with you, because you had the idea that what is freely given by God may be got for a price.

And Philip, running up to him, saw that he was reading Isaiah the prophet, and said to him, Is the sense of what you are reading clear to you?

But get up, and go into the town, and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.

For I will make clear to him what troubles he will have to undergo for me.

And he, looking on him in fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your offerings have come up to God, and he has kept them in mind.

And the voice came to him a second time, What God has made clean, do not you make common.

And so I came without question, when I was sent for. What then is your purpose in sending for me?

But the voice, coming a second time from heaven, said, What God has made clean, do not you make common.

And he went out after him; and he was not certain if what was done by the angel was a fact, for it seemed to him that he was seeing a vision.

Now when it was day, the armed men were greatly troubled about what had become of Peter.

Then the ruler, when he saw what was done, had faith, being full of wonder at the teaching of the Lord.

And when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.

And when the people saw what Paul had done, they said in a loud voice, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the form of men.

And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?

And some of those who were supporters of the theories of the Epicureans and the Stoics, had a meeting with him. And some said, What is this talker of foolish words saying? And others, He seems to be a preacher of strange gods: because he was preaching of Jesus and his coming back from the dead.

And they took him to Mars' Hill, saying, Will you make clear to us what is this new teaching of yours?

For when I came by, I was looking at the things to which you give worship, and I saw an altar with this writing on it, TO THE GOD OF WHOM THERE IS NO KNOWLEDGE. Now, what you, without knowledge, give worship to, I make clear to you.

And he said, What sort of baptism did you have? And they said, The baptism of John.

And when they had come, he said to them, You yourselves have seen what my life has been like all the time from the day when I first came into Asia,

And now, as you see, I am going to Jerusalem, a prisoner in spirit, having no knowledge of what will come to me there:

You yourselves have seen that with these hands I got what was necessary for me and those who were with me.

Then Paul said, What are you doing, weeping and wounding my heart? for I am ready, not only to be a prisoner, but to be put to death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

And hearing it, they gave praise to God; and they said to him, You see, brother, what thousands there are among the Jews, who have the faith; and they all have a great respect for the law:

What then is the position? They will certainly get news that you have come.

Then the chief captain came near and took him, and gave orders for him to be put in chains, questioning them as to who he was and what he had done.

And I said, What have I to do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Get up, and go into Damascus; and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.

For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and of what has come to your ears.

And hearing this, the man went to the chief captain and gave him an account of it, saying, What are you about to do? for this man is a Roman.

But on the day after, desiring to have certain knowledge of what the Jews had to say against him, he made him free, and gave orders for the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin to come together, and he took Paul and put him before them.

And there was a great outcry: and some of the scribes on the side of the Pharisees got up and took part in the discussion, saying, We see no evil in this man: what if he has had a revelation from an angel or a spirit?

And the chief took him by the hand and, going on one side, said to him privately, What is it you have to say to me

And after reading it, he said, What part of the country do you come from? And, hearing that he was from Cilicia,

Or let these men here present say what wrongdoing was seen in me when I was before the Sanhedrin,

For it seems to me against reason to send a prisoner without making clear what there is against him.

And so, by God's help, I am here today, witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come about;

But the captain gave more attention to the master and the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.

And some were in agreement with what he said, but some had doubts.

For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing;

But you who are judging another for doing what you do yourself, are you hoping that God's decision will not take effect against you?

But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,

A teacher of the foolish, having in the law the form of knowledge and of what is true;

You who give teaching to others, do you give it to yourself? you who say that a man may not take what is not his, do you take what is not yours?

How then is the Jew better off? or what profit is there in circumcision?

But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?

What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin;

Not one who has the knowledge of what is right, not one who is a searcher after God;

Their throat is like an open place of death; with their tongues they have said what is not true: the poison of snakes is under their lips:

Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:

What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.

What, then, may we say that Abraham, our father after the flesh, has got?

But what does it say in the holy Writings? And Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace?

What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.
