He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast, asked him, "Lord, who is it?"

Therefore, having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.

But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'

But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn't tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.

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

Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

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;

but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.

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

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You aren't also one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."

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

Then they all shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren't Caesar's friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"

Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"

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

Therefore many of the 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.

Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn't remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him;

but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they didn't break his legs.

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.

Then because of the Jews' Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there.

Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn't know that it was Jesus.

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

But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn't 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."

But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus.

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.

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn't torn.

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.

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

He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, 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' breast at the supper and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?"

until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.

When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

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."

In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,

"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.

For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.

It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Akeldama,' that is, 'The field of blood.'

beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."

They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;

"Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul left in Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.

A certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.

They recognized him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

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

They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.

Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.

He is 'the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.'

Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

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

For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

and laid them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.

Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,

While you kept it, didn't it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn't it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven't lied to men, but to God."

For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.

Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service.

All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.

He said, "Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land, where you are now living.

"The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him,

But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.

On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's race was revealed to Pharaoh.

At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father's house.

When he was thrown out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.

Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.

But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.

Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.

He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn't understand.

This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living oracles to give to us,

You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn't keep it!"

Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.

There was great joy in that city.

But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city, and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,

Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.

Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,

He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.

He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn't open his mouth.

In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth."

But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
