They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

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

When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.

Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

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.

Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them; surely they know what I said."

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."

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

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

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

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

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."

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.

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.

Then they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, "They parted my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things.

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 Jewish leaders, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies would not 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.

but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

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

So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, according to Jewish burial practice.

Then because of the Jewish Preparation Day (for the tomb was nearby) they put Jesus there.

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."

Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first.

For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

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."

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.

Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven them. Whoever's sins you retain, they have been retained."

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."

He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." They cast it therefore, and now they weren't able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.

So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish placed on it, and bread.

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."

There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself would not have room for the books that would be written.

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.

While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.

When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

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

They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen

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

Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

They were all amazed and marveled, saying, "Behold, are not all these who speak Galileans?

They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, "What does this mean?"

Others, mocking, said, "They are filled with new wine."

Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"

They continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,

A certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they put 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.

Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days.

As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,

being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

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

When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they were amazed. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

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

But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

But so that this spreads no further among the people, let us threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone in this name."

They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

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.

Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with with one accord, and said, "Sovereign Lord, it is you who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

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.

And the full number 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.

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

But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."

She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

They even carried out the sick into the streets, and put them on cots and mats, so that as Peter came by at the least his shadow would fall on some of them.

Crowds also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.

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.

But the officers who came did not find them in the prison. They returned and reported,

Now when the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.

Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and wanted to kill them.

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.

They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.

Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming that Jesus is the Messiah.

And these words pleased the whole gathering. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch;

whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

They weren't able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

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,

God spoke in this way: that his seed would live as foreigners in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.
