The women who told the apostles about it were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some others.

They were talking with each other about all these things that had taken place.

He asked them, "What are you discussing with each other as you're walking along?" They stood still and looked gloomy.

Then they asked each other, "Our hearts kept burning within us as he was talking to us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us, didn't they?"

This happened in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

so they went to John and told him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the one about whom you testified look, he's baptizing, and everyone is going to him!"

I have sent you to harvest what you have not worked for. Others have worked, and you have adopted their work as your own."

How can you believe when you accept each other's praise and do not look for the praise that comes from the only God?

After this, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, to Tiberias).

The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea noticed that only one boat had been there, and no other, and that Jesus had not gotten into that boat with his disciples. Instead, his disciples had gone away by themselves.

Other small boats from Tiberias arrived near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

When they had found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

Then the Jewish leaders debated angrily with each other, asking, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

And there was a great deal of discussion about him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He is a good man," while others were saying, "No, he is deceiving the crowds!"

while others were saying, "This is the Messiah!"

Some were saying, "It's him," while others were saying, "No, but it's someone like him." But he himself kept saying, "It's me!"

Some of the Pharisees began to remark, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a sinful man perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

"Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the person who doesn't enter the sheepfold through the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a bandit.

I have other sheep that don't belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they'll listen to my voice. So there will be one flock and one shepherd.

Others were saying, "These are not the words of a man who is demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can it?"

Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again!" The crowd standing there heard this and said that it was thunder. Others were saying, "An angel has spoken to him."

At this point, some of his disciples asked each other, "What does he mean by telling us, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again,' and, "because I am going to the Father'?"

Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since the other disciple was known to the high priest, he accompanied Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

Peter, however, stood outside the gate. So this other disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter inside.

Jesus replied, "Are you asking this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about me?"

There they crucified him, along with two others, one on each side of him with Jesus in the middle.

So they told each other, "Let's not tear it. Instead, let's throw dice to see who gets it." This was to fulfill the Scripture that says, "They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they threw dice." So that is what the soldiers did.

So the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man and then of the other man who had been crucified with him.

So she ran off and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus kept loving. She told them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"

So Peter and the other disciple took off for the tomb.

The two of them were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and came to the tomb first.

Then the other disciple, who arrived at the tomb first, went inside, looked, and believed.

She saw two angels in white clothes who were sitting down, one at the head and the other at the foot of the place where Jesus' body had been lying.

So the other disciples kept telling him, "We've seen the Lord!" But he told them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands, put my finger into them, and put my hand into his side, I'll never believe!"

Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not recorded in this book.

Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two of his other disciples were together.

But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish. They were only about 200 cubits away from the shore.

Of course, Jesus also did many other things, and I suppose that if every one of them were written down, the world couldn't contain the books that would be written.

But others kept saying in derision, "They're drunk on sweet wine!"

When the crowd that had gathered heard this, they were pierced to the heart. They asked Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what should we do?"

United in purpose, they went to the Temple every day, ate at each other's homes, and shared their food with glad and humble hearts.

There is no salvation by anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people by which we must be saved."

None of the others dared join them, although the rest of the people continued to hold them in high regard.

The other people told her, "You're out of your mind!" But she kept insisting that it was so. Then they said, "It's his angel."

But the people of the city were divided. Some were with the Jews, while others were with the apostles.

Paul and Barnabas had quite a dispute and argument with them. So Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to confer with the apostles and elders about this question.

Both Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch to teach and proclaim the word of the Lord, as did many others.

Around midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

When they didn't find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials and shouted, "These fellows who have turned the world upside down have come here, too,

but after they had gotten a bond from Jason and the others, they let them go.

So he began holding discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and other worshipers, as well as every day in the public square with anyone who happened to be there.

Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also debated with him. Some asked, "What is this blabbermouth trying to say?" while others said, "He seems to be preaching about foreign gods." This was because Paul was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.

Now all the Athenians and the foreigners living there used to spend their time doing nothing else other than listening to the latest ideas or repeating them.

When they heard about a resurrection of the dead, some began joking about it, while others said, "We will hear you again about this."

Some men joined him and became believers. With them were Dionysius, who was a member of the Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and some others along with them.

He called a meeting of these men and others who were engaged in similar trades and said, "Men, you well know that we get a good income from this business.

and said goodbye to each other. Then we reboarded the ship, and they went back home.

When Paul saw that some of them were Sadducees and others were Pharisees, he shouted in the Council, "Brothers, I'm a Pharisee and a descendant of Pharisees. I'm on trial concerning the hope that the dead will be resurrected."

As they were leaving, they began to say to each other, "This man hasn't been doing anything to deserve death or imprisonment."

When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were transferred to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the emperor's division.

The rest were to follow, some on planks and others on various pieces of the ship. In this way everyone got to shore safely.

From morning until evening, he continued to explain the kingdom of God to them, trying to convince them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets. Some of them were convinced by what he said, but others wouldn't believe.

that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

Although they know God's just requirement that those who practice such things deserve to die they not only do these things but even applaud others who practice them.

as you teach others, do you fail to teach yourself? As you preach against stealing, do you steal?

do not boast about being better than the other branches. If you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

In the same way, even though we are many people, we are one body in the Messiah and individual parts connected to each other.

If your gift is serving, devote yourself to serving others. If it is teaching, devote yourself to teaching others.

If it is encouraging, devote yourself to encouraging others. If it is sharing, share generously. If it is leading, lead enthusiastically. If it is helping, help cheerfully.

Be devoted to each other with mutual affection. Excel at showing respect for each other.

Live in harmony with each other. Do not be arrogant, but associate with humble people. Do not think that you are wiser than you really are.

For the commandments, "You must not commit adultery; you must not murder; you must not steal; you must not covet," and every other commandment are summed up in this statement: "You must love your neighbor as yourself."

Therefore, let's no longer criticize each other. Instead, make up your mind not to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

Now may God, the source of endurance and encouragement, allow you to live in harmony with each other as you follow the Messiah Jesus,

I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are filled with goodness and full of all the knowledge you need to be able to instruct each other.

After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that is Jesus the Messiah.

Instead, you yourselves practice doing wrong and cheating others, and brothers at that!

Keep on running away from sexual immorality. Any other sin that a person commits is outside his body, but the person who sins sexually sins against his own body.

Do not withhold yourselves from each other unless you agree to do so just for a set time, in order to devote yourselves to prayer. Then you should come together again so that Satan does not tempt you through your lack of self-control.

If I am not an apostle to other people, surely I am one to you, for you are the evidence of my apostolic authority from the Lord.

We have the right to take a believing wife with us like the other apostles, the Lord's brothers, and Cephas, don't we?

If others enjoy this right over you, don't we have a stronger claim? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we tolerate everything in order not to put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of the Messiah.

No, I keep on disciplining my body, making it serve me so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified.

Therefore, my brothers, when you gather to eat, wait for each other.

If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you gather it may not bring judgment on you. And when I come I will give instructions concerning the other matters.

so that there might be no disharmony in the body, but that its parts should have the same concern for each other.

God has appointed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then those who perform miracles, those who have gifts of healing, those who help others, administrators, and those who speak various kinds of languages.

It's good for you to give thanks, but it does not build up the other person.

But in church I would rather speak five words with my mind to instruct others than 10,000 words in a foreign language.

Two or three prophets should speak, and others should weigh carefully what is said.

Therefore, my brothers, desire the ability to prophesy, and do not prevent others from speaking in foreign languages.

But by God's grace I am what I am, and his grace shown to me was not wasted. Instead, I worked harder than all the others not I, of course, but God's grace that was with me.

So, whether it was I or the others, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

If we have set our hopes on the Messiah in this life only, we deserve more pity than any other people.

Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but he was not inclined to do so just now. However, he will visit you when the time is right.

who comforts us in all our suffering, so that we may be able to comfort others in all their suffering, as we ourselves are being comforted by God.

To some people we are a deadly fragrance, while to others we are a living fragrance. Who is qualified for this?

At least we are not commercializing God's word like so many others. Instead, we speak with sincerity in the Messiah's name, like people who are sent from God and are accountable to God.

In fact, that which once had glory lost its glory, because the other glory surpassed it.

I am not commanding you but testing the genuineness of your love by the enthusiasm of others.
