because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,

And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who are in the world -- to the end he loved them.

Jesus saith to him, 'He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;'

for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'Ye are not all clean.'

verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;

not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.

verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'

the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.

And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,

and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, 'Sir, who is it?'

Jesus answereth, 'That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth it to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

Jesus saith to him, 'So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father?

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;

Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do -- that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;

the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you.

he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'

he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.

'I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

'He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;

And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father -- the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God;

and now I go away to Him who sent me, and none of you doth ask me, Whither dost thou go?

and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ;

I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

'I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,

and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we;

when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

'And not in regard to these alone do I ask, but also in regard to those who shall be believing, through their word, in me;

'Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, 'Whom do ye seek?'

they answered him, 'Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, 'I am he;' -- and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; --

Again, therefore, he questioned them, 'Whom do ye seek?' and they said, 'Jesus the Nazarene;'

that the word might be fulfilled that he said -- 'Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'

and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,

and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.

Pilate, therefore, said to him, 'Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, 'Thou dost say it; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'

Jesus answered, 'Thou wouldest have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.'

Jesus, therefore, having seen his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, 'Woman, lo, thy son;'

The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,

and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

and again another Writing saith, 'They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'

and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.

she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, 'They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.'

then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;

Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;' she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, 'Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;'

And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came;

There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving saith to Peter, 'The Lord it is!' Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the Lord, did gird on the outer coat, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea;

Jesus saith to them, 'Come ye, dine;' and none of the disciples was venturing to inquire of him, 'Who art thou?' knowing that it is the Lord;

And Peter having turned about doth see the disciple whom Jesus was loving following, (who also reclined in the supper on his breast, and said, 'Sir, who is he who is delivering thee up?')

this is the disciple who is testifying concerning these things, and he wrote these things, and we have known that his testimony is true.

till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up,

to whom also he did present himself alive after his suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign of God.

who also said, 'Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the heaven.'

'Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,

'It behoveth, therefore, of the men who did go with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,

And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,

and having prayed, they said, 'Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two

and they were all amazed, and did wonder, saying one unto another, 'Lo, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

whom God did raise up, having loosed the pains of the death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it,

assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, that both Lord and Christ did God make him -- this Jesus whom ye did crucify.'

then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls,

and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,

who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.

they were knowing him also that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautiful gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what hath happened to him.

And at the lame man who was healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch called Solomon's -- greatly amazed,

The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release him,

and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;

and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that is through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all.

and He may send Jesus Christ who before hath been preached to you,

whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age.

if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved,

be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.

and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against it,

for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing.

and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, 'Lord, thou art God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that are in them,

who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?

for gathered together of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,

and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.

for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the thing sold,

And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas -- which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort -- a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,

and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, did expire, and great fear came upon all who heard these things,

And Peter said unto her, 'How was it agreed by you, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? lo, the feet of those who did bury thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee forth;'

and great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.

and there were coming together also the people of the cities round about to Jerusalem, bearing ailing persons, and those harassed by unclean spirits -- who were all healed.

and coming near, a certain one told them, saying -- 'Lo, the men whom ye did put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people;'

and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree;

and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.'

for before these days rose up Theudas, saying, that himself was some one, to whom a number of men did join themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nought.

look out, therefore, brethren, seven men of you who are well testified of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this necessity,

whom they did set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid on them their hands.

and the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and shall do Me service in this place.

till another king rose, who had not known Joseph;

and he who is doing injustice to the neighbour, did thrust him away, saying, Who set thee a ruler and a judge over us?

'This Moses, whom they did refuse, saying, Who did set thee a ruler and a judge? this one God a ruler and a redeemer did send, in the hand of a messenger who appeared to him in the bush;
