While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.

And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.

My prayer is not that you will take them out of the world, but that you will keep them from the Evil One.

Even as you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.

My prayer is not for them only, but for all who will have faith in me through their word;

May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.

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

I in them, and you in me, so that they may be made completely one, and so that it may become clear to all men that you have sent me and that they are loved by you as I am loved by you.

Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

Father of righteousness, I have knowledge of you, though the world has not; and to these it is clear that you sent me;

And I have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them.

Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.

(He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?

Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly.

Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.

Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?

Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done?

Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

Then Pilate said to him, You say nothing to me? is it not clear to you that I have power to let you go free and power to put you to death on the cross?

Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

They said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I have no knowledge where they have put him.

Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you!

And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you.

So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief.

And after eight days, his disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were shut, Jesus came, and taking his place in the middle of them, he said, May peace be with you!

Then he said to Thomas, Put out your finger, and see my hands; and put your hand here into my side: and be no longer in doubt but have belief.

And Thomas said in answer, My Lord and my God!

Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me!

But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.

Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.

Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.

He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

Now this he said, pointing out the sort of death by which he would give God glory. And after saying this, he said to him, Come after me.

Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.

So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?

And Jesus did such a number of other things that, if every one was recorded, it is my opinion that even the world itself is not great enough for the books there would be.

But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,

But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice, O men of Judaea, and all you who are living in Jerusalem, take note of this and give ear to my words.

And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:

And on my men-servants and my women-servants I will send my Spirit, and they will be prophets.

For David said of him, I saw the Lord before my face at all times, for he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved:

And for this cause my heart was glad and my tongue full of joy, and my flesh will be resting in hope:

For you will not let my soul be in hell and you will not give up your Holy One to destruction.

You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face.

My brothers, I may say to you openly that David came to his death, and was put in the earth, and his resting-place is with us today.

For David has not gone up into heaven, but says, himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand,

For the word of God is for you and for your children and for all those who are far off, even all those who may be marked out by the Lord our God.

And now, my brothers, I am conscious that you did this, as did your rulers, without knowledge.

So then, let your hearts be changed and be turned to God, so that your sins may be completely taken away, and times of blessing may come from the Lord;

And that he may send the Christ who was marked out for you from the first, even Jesus:

For Moses said, The Lord will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to everything which he will say to you.

And in no other is there salvation: for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, through which we may have salvation.

But so that it may not go farther among the people, let us put them in fear of punishment if they say anything in future in this name.

While your hand is stretched out to do works of mercy; so that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.

And Peter said to her, Give me an answer: was this amount of money the price of the land? And she said, Yes, it was.

Take then from among you seven men of good name, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, to whom we may give control of this business.

And he said, My brothers and fathers, give hearing. The God of glory came to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he was living in Haran,

And I will be the judge, said God, of that nation which made them servants: and after that, they will come out and give me worship in this place.

Will you put me to death as you did the Egyptian yesterday?

Truly, I have seen the sorrows of my people in Egypt, and their cries have come to my ears, and I have come down to make them free: and now, come, I will send you to Egypt.

This is the same Moses, who said to the children of Israel, God will give you a prophet from among your brothers, like me.

But God was turned from them and let them give worship to the stars of heaven, as it says in the book of the prophets, Did you make offerings to me of sheep and oxen for forty years in the waste land, O house of Israel?

Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is a resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, says the Lord, or what is my place of rest?

Did not my hand make all these things?

You whose hearts are hard and whose ears are shut to me; you are ever working against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

And Stephen, while he was being stoned, made prayer to God, saying, Lord Jesus, take my spirit.

Give me this power, so that when I put my hands on anyone he may get the Holy Spirit.

But Peter said, May your money come to destruction with you, because you had the idea that what is freely given by God may be got for a price.

Let your heart be changed, and make prayer to God that you may have forgiveness for your evil thoughts.

And Simon, answering, said, Make prayer for me to the Lord, so that these things which you have said may not come on me.

And while they were going on their way, they came to some water, and the Ethiopian said, See, here is water; why may I not have baptism?

And he went down on the earth, and a voice said to him, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?

And he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands on him, so that he may be able to see.

But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:

For I will make clear to him what troubles he will have to undergo for me.

And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.

And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:

And so I came without question, when I was sent for. What then is your purpose in sending for me?

And Cornelius said, Four days from now I was in my house in prayer at the ninth hour; and I saw before me a man in shining clothing,

Will any man say that these may not have baptism who have been given the Holy Spirit as we have?

I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:

And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.

But I said, No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever come into my mouth.

And the Spirit gave me orders to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers came with me; and we went into that man's house:

Who will say words to you through which you and all your family may get salvation.

And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.

And hearing these things they said nothing more, but gave glory to God, saying, Then to the Gentiles as to us has God given a change of heart, so that they may have life.

Then the angel said, Put on your shoes and get ready to go. And he did so. And he said, Put your coat round you and come with me.

And when Peter came to his senses he said, Now, truly, I am certain that the Lord has sent his angel and taken me out of the hands of Herod, against all the hopes of the Jews.

And while they were doing the Lord's work, and going without food, the Holy Spirit said, Let Barnabas and Saul be given to me for the special work for which they have been marked out by me.
