Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I depart, for if I do not depart, the helper will not come to you. But whenever I go, I will send him to you.

Therefore Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, Do ye inquire among yourselves about this, because I said, A little while, and ye do not look at me, and, Again a little while, and ye will see me?

His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speak plainly, and speak not one veiled word.

just as thou gave him authority over all flesh, so that all things that thou have given him, he will give them eternal life.

Now Judas, the man betraying him, had also known the place, because Jesus also often gathered there with his disciples.

Jesus therefore knowing all the things that were coming upon him, after going forth, he says to them, Whom seek ye?

They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas, the man betraying him had also stood with them.

So the band, and the chief captain, and the subordinates of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound him,

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

Jesus answered him, I spoke in public to the world. I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple where the Jews always gather together, and I spoke nothing in secret.

Jesus answered him, If I spoke wrongly, testify about the wrong, but if correctly, why strike me?

Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, Are thou not also of his disciples? That man therefore denied, and said, I am not.

One of the bondmen of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?

They answered and said to him, If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to thee.

Pilate therefore said to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted for us to kill any man,

Pilate therefore again entered into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, Are thou the king of the Jews?

Pilate therefore said to him, Then thou a king? Jesus answered, Thou say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I would testify to the truth. Every man who is of the truth hears m

Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find not one cause in him.

Therefore Pilate then took Jesus and scourged him.

And the soldiers having woven a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and put around him a purple garment.

And they said, Hail, king of the Jews! And they gave him slaps.

Therefore Pilate again went forth outside, and says to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, so that ye may know that I find not one cause in him.

When therefore the chief priests and the subordinates saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Ye take ye him and crucify, for I find no cause in him.

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.

And he went into the Praetorium again, and says to Jesus, Where are thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

Pilate therefore says to him, Thou do not speak to me? Know thou not that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?

Jesus answered him, Thou would have no authority against me, unless it were given thee from above. Because of this he who delivered me to thee has greater sin.

From this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou are not Caesar's friend. Every man who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.

But they cried out, Away, away, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king except Caesar.

Therefore he then delivered him to them, so that he might be crucified, and they took and led Jesus away.

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

The soldiers therefore came, and indeed broke the legs of the first, and of the other man who was crucified with him.

But having come to Jesus, when they saw him now having died, they did not break his legs.

For these things happened so that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him will be broken.

And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because of fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might remove the body of Jesus, and Pilate allowed him. Therefore he came and removed the bod

Therefore she runs and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him.

Simon Peter therefore comes following him, and he entered into the sepulcher. And he sees the linen cloths lying,

And those men say to her, Woman, why weep thou? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

Jesus says to her, Woman, why weep thou? Whom seek thou? That woman, supposing that he is the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou have taken him, tell me where thou have laid him, and I will take him away.

Jesus says to her, Mary. After turning around, that woman says to him, Rabboni, which says, Teacher.

The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I may see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will, no, no

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

Jesus says to him, Because thou have seen me, thou have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.

Simon Peter says to them, I am going to harvest fish. They say to him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and straightaway entered into the boat. And in that night they caught nothing.

Therefore Jesus says to them, Children, have ye anything eatable? They answered him, No.

Jesus says to them, Come, eat breakfast. And none of the disciples dared to query him, Who are thou? knowing that it is the Lord.

So when they ate breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me more than these things? He says to him, Yea, Lord. Thou know that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.

He says to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me? He says to him, Yea, Lord. Thou know that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my sheep.

He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do thou love me? And he said to him, Lord, thou know all things. Thou know that I love thee. Jesus says t

Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he will glorify God. And after saying this, he says to him, Follow me.

Jesus says to him, If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me.

This saying therefore went forth among the brothers, that that disciple does not die. And yet Jesus did not say to him, that he does not die, but, If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to thee?

Indeed therefore having come together, they questioned him, saying, Lord, do thou restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?

And having said these things, as they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their eyes.

who also said, Men, Galileans, why stand ye gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into the sky will so come, in that same way as ye saw him going into the sky.

Men, Israelites, hear ye these words. Jesus the Nazarene, a man shown by God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know,

whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

For David speaks for him: I beheld the Lord always before me, because he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved.

Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, to raise the Christ from the fruit of his loins according to flesh to sit upon his throne.

Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.

And Peter, having gazed intently at him, with John, said, Look at us.

And after taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up. And immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.

And all the people saw him walking and praising God,

and they recognized him, that this was the man who sat for charity at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled of astonishment and amazement at that which happened to him.

And Peter having seen, he responded to the people, Men, Israelites, why do ye marvel at this man? Or why do ye stare at us, as by our own power or piety we have made him to walk?

The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Boy Jesus, whom ye actually delivered up and denied him in the presence of Pilate who preferred to release that man.

And by faith in his name, this man whom ye see and know, his name has made strong. And faith through him has given him this complete soundness in the presence of you all.

For Moses indeed said to the fathers, Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you, from your brothers, like me. Ye shall hear him in all things, as many as he might speak to you.

To you first, having raised up his Boy Jesus, God sent him blessing you, in turning away each man from your evils.

And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. And not even one man said that anything of the things that was possessed by him was his own, but all things were common to them.

having sold a field that was possessed by him, brought the money and placed it at the apostles' feet.

And after rising the young men wrapped him, and having carried him out they buried him.

But after rising up, the high priest and all those with him (being the sect of the Sadducees) were filled of envy.

And having heard, they entered into the temple at early morning, and taught. But the high priest having arrived, and those with him, they called the council together, and all the senate of the sons of Israel. And they sent to the p

And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.

For before these days Theudas rose up saying himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, bonded themselves, who was killed. And all, as many as were persuaded by him, were dispersed and developed into nothi

After this man Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the registration, and drew a considerable crowd behind him. That man was also destroyed, and all, as many as were persuaded by him, were scattered.

And they were persuaded by him. And after summoning the apostles, having beat them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

Then they instigated men who said, We have heard him speaking blasphemous sayings against Moses and God.

And they incited the people, and the elders, and the scholars. And after approaching, they seized him, and brought him to the council.

For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place, and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us.

And all who sat in the council, having gazed upon him, saw his face like a face of a heavenly agent.

And he said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and from thy kinfolk, and come into a land that I will show thee.

Then after coming out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran. And from there, after his father died, God resettled him in this land in which ye now dwell.

And he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep. And he promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, although there was no child by him.

And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. And Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

And the patriarchs, being envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. And God was with him,

and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he appointed him governor over Egypt and his entire house.

And when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter took him away, and reared him for a son to herself.

But when a forty year time span was fulfilled by him, it came into his heart to go help his brothers, the sons of Israel.

And after seeing a certain man suffering wrong, he defended him, and did vengeance for the man being oppressed, having smitten the Egyptian.

But the man doing wrong to his neighbor thrust him away, having said, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge over us?

And forty years having been fulfilled, an agent of Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai in a flame of fire of a bush.

And when Moses looked, he wondered at the sight. And as he approached to examine, a voice of Lord came to him,

And the Lord said to him, Put off the shoes from thy feet, for the place on which thou stand is holy ground.

This Moses whom they refused, having said, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge? This man God sent, a ruler and a liberator by the hand of the heavenly agent who appeared to him in the bush.

This is he who became in the congregation in the wilderness with the heavenly agent who spoke to him on the mount Sinai, and of our fathers who received living oracles to give to us.

after saying to Aaron, Make gods for us who will lead us. For this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.

But Solomon built him a house.
