This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief; and as he had the money box, he used to take what was put into it.

Jesus said, "Let her alone, she has kept this for the day of my burial.

His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.

For this reason the people went to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

"Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, for this purpose I came to this hour.

Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not for mine.

Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

He said this to show by what death he was to die.

The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever; and how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from them.

Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

But no one at the table knew why he said this to him.

By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me.

By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

This I command you, that you love one another.

But all this they will do to you for my name's sake, because they do not know him who sent me.

But this is to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'

"I have said all this to you so that you will not go astray.

of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

Then some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'; and, 'because I go to the Father'?"

"I have said this to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

Now we are sure that you know all things, and have no need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God."

And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

This happened so that the words which he had spoken would be fulfilled, "Of those whom you gave me I have lost none."

Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

Then the girl who kept the door said to Peter, "You are not also one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."

And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?"

So Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken would be fulfilled, showing by what death he was going to die.

Jesus answered, "Do you say this on your own, or did others say it to you about me?"

Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingship is not from here."

Pilate said to him, "You are a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say what I ama king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice."

Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again, and told them, "I find no crime in him.

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

From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Anyone who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar."

Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'This man said, I am King of the Jews.'"

So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be." This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." This is what the soldiers did.

After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst."

After this Josnt of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.

Saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

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

And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

After this Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way he showed himself:

This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

This he said to show by what death he would glorify God. And after this he said to him, "Follow me."

When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"

Then the saying spread among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"

This is the disciple who testifies to these things, and who wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"

And after he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched him go into heaven."

For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry."

(Now this man bought a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.

to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside, to go to his own place."

And at this sound the crowd came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

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

But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: "Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words.

but this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

this man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put him to death.

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

This Jesus God raised up again, and of that we are all witnesses.

Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you see and hear.

Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."

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

And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this perverse generation."

And when Peter saw this he addressed the people, "Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

but killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.

And his name, by faith in his name, has made this man strong whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Jesus has given him perfect health in the presence of you all.

And when they had set them in the midst, they began to inquire, "By what power or by what name did you do this?"

if we are being examined today for a good deed done to a cripple, as to how this man has been healed,

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man stands before you healed.

But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no longer to any one in this name."

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

And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God together and said, "Sovereign Lord, it is you who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them,

For truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

"Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life."

And when they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest and his associates came, they called the Council together, even all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and sent orders to the prison house for them to be brought.

Now when the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed about them, wondering what would come of this.

saying, "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's blood upon us."

When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to kill them.

After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.

So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will fail;

Therefore, brethren, pick out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint to this duty.

They put forward false witnesses who said, "This man never stops speaking against this holy place, and the law;

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

Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. From there, after his father died, God had him move to this country in which you are now living.

But God spoke to this effect, that his descendants would be aliens in a foreign land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.

'But I will judge the nation which they serve,' said God, 'and after that they will come out and worship me in this place.'

At this time Moses was born, and was beautiful before God. And he was brought up for three months in his father's house;

At this remark Moses fled, and became an exile in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
