the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive; because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

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."

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

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

I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.

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

"I have said all these things to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.

Truly, truly, I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God."

Look, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

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

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.

I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them."

that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."

When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"

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.

that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

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

Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I would not be delivered to the Jewish leaders. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

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."

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

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.

But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty."

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.

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

Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

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."

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

Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."

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."

Then he said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing."

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."

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.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth."

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

"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 it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell therein;' and, 'Let another take his office.'

But Peter, standing up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke out to them, "You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

'It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

It will be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'

"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.

Being therefore exalted by 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.

praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

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

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?

But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a man who was a murderer to be granted to you,

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.

But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Messiah should suffer, he thus fulfilled.

"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,

whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets.

It will be, that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.'

You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'In your seed will all the families of the earth be blessed.'

But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

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

if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,

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.

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

And there is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven, that is given among men by which we must be saved."

saying, "What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

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 an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,

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

But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the men out for a little while.

He said to them, "You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.

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.

Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of man, it will be overthrown.

But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them, and you would be found even to be fighting against God."

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

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.
