The one who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"

Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling place with him.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

But all these things will they do to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.

But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'

Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?'

His disciples said to him, "Look, now you are speaking plainly and not in any figure of speech.

even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"

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

So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jewish leaders, seized Jesus and bound him,

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

Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jewish people come together. I said nothing in secret.

Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"

Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

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

One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you."

Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." Therefore the Jewish leaders said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"

Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"

Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he went out again to the Jewish leaders, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.

So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.

The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.

And they kept coming up to him and saying, "Hail, King of the Jews." and they struck him with their hands.

Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, "Crucify. Crucify." Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him."

The Jewish leaders answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?"

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, saying, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

They shouted, "Away with him. Away with him. Crucify him." Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus.

where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.

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

For these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken."

Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jewish leaders, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put him."

Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,

They told her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him."

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."

Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabboni." which is to say, "Teacher."

The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."

Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God."

Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed."

Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing." They told him, "We are also coming with you." They went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.

Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."

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.

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.

So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, 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.

Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."

Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"

Jesus said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me."

This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?"

Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"

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."

"Men of Israel, hear these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,

him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

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

For David says concerning him, 'I saw the Lord always before my face, For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.

Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that one of his descendants would sit on his throne,

"Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified."

Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us."

He took him by the right hand, and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.

All the people saw him walking and praising God.

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.

When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, "You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

For Moses indeed said to the fathers, 'The Lord your God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.

God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to you first, to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from your wickedness."

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.

The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,

When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

We are witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."

For before these days Todah 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.

After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."

They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, and brought him in to the council,

For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us."

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

and said to him, 'Get out of your land, and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.'

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.

He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when he still had no child.

He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.

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

and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
