After Jesus had said this he was greatly moved and said solemnly, "I tell you, it is one of you that will betray me!"

and God will through himself honor him; he will honor him immediately.

My children, I am to be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, but, as I said to the Jews, where I am going you cannot follow,

By this they will all know that you are my disciples??y your love for one another."

Simon Peter said to him, "Master, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "I am going where you cannot follow me now, but you will follow me later."

Peter said to him, "Master, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

Jesus answered, "You will lay down your life for me? I tell you, before a cock crows, you will disown me thrice over!

And if I go and make it ready, I will come back and take you with me, so that you may be where I am.

Philip said to him, "Master, let us see the Father, and it will satisfy us."

I tell you, whoever believes in me will do such things as I do, and things greater yet, because I am going to the Father.

Anything you ask for as followers of mine I will grant, so that the Father may be honored through the Son.

I will grant anything you ask me for as my followers.

"If you really love me, you will observe my commands.

And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you always.

In a little while the world will not see me any more, but you will still see me, because I shall live on, and you will live on too.

When that day comes you will know that I am in union with my Father and you are with me and I am with you.

It is he who has my commands and observes them that really loves me, and whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and show myself to him."

Jesus answered, "Anyone who loves me will observe my teaching, and my Father will love him and we will come to him and live with him.

No one who does not love me will observe my teaching, and yet the teaching you are listening to is not mine but is that of him who has sent me.

but the Helper, the holy Spirit which the Father will send in my place, will teach you everything and remind you of everything that I have told you.

You must remain united to me and I will remain united to you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains united to the vine, you cannot unless you remain united to me.

I am the vine, you are the branches. Anyone who remains united to me, with me united to him, will be very fruitful, for you cannot do anything apart from me.

If you keep my commands you will retain my love, just as I have observed the Father's commands and retain his love.

Remember what I said to you: No slave is greater than his master. If they have persecuted me they will persecute you too. If they have observed my teaching, they will observe yours too.

But they will do all this to you on my account, because they do not understand him who sent me.

When the Helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father??hat Spirit of Truth that comes from the Father??e will bear testimony to me,

They will exclude you from their synagogues; why, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is doing religious service to God.

They will do this because they do not know the Father or me.

Yet it is only the truth when I tell you that it is better for you that I should go away. For if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you, but if I go I will send him to you.

When he comes, he will bring conviction to the world about sin and uprightness and judgment;

but when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth, for he will not speak for himself but will tell what he hears, and will announce to you the things that are to come.

He will do honor to me, for he will take what is mine and communicate it to you.

All that the Father has belongs to me. That is why I said that he will take what is mine and communicate it to you.

"In a little while you will not see me any longer, and a little while after, you will see me again."

Then some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean when he tells us, 'In a little while you will not see me any longer, and a little while after, you will see me again,' and 'Because I am going away to the Father'?"

Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him a question, and he said to them, "Are you asking one another about my saying 'In a little while you will not see me any longer, and a little while after, you will see me again'?

I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world will be happy; you will grieve, but your grief will change to happiness.

So you, too, are sorrowful now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will be happy, and no one will rob you of your happiness.

When that time comes, you will not ask me any questions; I tell you, whatever you ask the Father for, he will give you as my followers.

Hitherto you have not asked for anything as my followers, but now ask, and you will receive, so that your happiness may be complete.

"I have said all this to you in figurative language, but a time is coming when I shall not do so any longer, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

When that time comes you will ask as my followers, and I do not promise to intercede with the Father for you,

Why, a time is coming??t has already come!??hen you will all be scattered to your homes and will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

I have made your self known to them and I will do so still, so that the love which you have had for me may be in their hearts, and I may be there also."

Why do you question me? Ask those who have heard me what it was that I said to them. They will know what I have said."

And Pilate went outside again and said to the Jews, "See! I will bring him out to you, to show you that I can find nothing to charge him with."

For this happened to fulfil what the Scripture says: "Not one of its bones will be broken."

Jesus said to her, "Why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She, supposing that he was the gardener, said to him, "If it was you, sir, that carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."

"Receive the holy Spirit! If you forgive any men's sins, they are forgiven them, and if you fix any men's sins upon them, they will remain fixed."

So the rest of the disciples said to him, "We have seen the Master!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the marks of the nails in his hands, and put my finger into them, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!"

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.

"Throw your net in on the right of the boat," he said to them, "and you will find them." They did so, and they could not haul it in for the quantity of fish in it.

I tell you, when you were young, you used to put on your own girdle and go where you pleased, but when you grow old, you will stretch our your hands and someone else will put a girdle on you and take you where you have no wish to go"

"for John baptized people in water, but in a few days you will be baptized in the holy Spirit."

but you will be given power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem and all over Judea and Samaria and to the very ends of the earth."

and said to them, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into the sky? This very Jesus who has been caught up from you into heaven will come in just the way that you have seen him go up to heaven."

" 'It will come about in the last days, God says, That I will pour out my Spirit upon all mankind; Your sons and daughters will become prophets, Your young men will have visions, And your old men will have dreams.

Even on my slaves, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, And they will become prophets.

I will show wonders in the sky above, And signs on the earth below, Blood and fire and thick smoke.

The sun will turn to darkness, And the moon to blood, Before the coming of the great, splendid Day of the Lord.

Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'

Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices, And my body will still live in hope.

For you will not desert my soul in death, You will not let your Holy One be destroyed.

You have made the ways of life known to me, And you will fill me with joy in your presence.'

Peter said to them, "You must repent, and every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, in order to have your sins forgiven; then you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit,

But Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but I will give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!"

So repent and turn to God, to have your sins wiped out, and happier times will come from the presence of the Lord,

and he will send Jesus, your destined Christ.

Moses said, 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, as he raised me up. You must listen to everything that he tells you.

Anyone that will not listen to that prophet will be annihilated from among the people.'

You are the descendants of the prophets and the heirs of the agreement that God made with your forefathers when he said to Abraham, 'Through your posterity all the families of the earth will be blessed.'

to carry out what your hand and will had destined should happen.

Peter said to her, "How could you two agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? There at the door are the footsteps of the men who buried your husband, and they will carry you out also."

So in the present case, I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this idea or movement is of human origin, it will come to naught,

but if it is from God, you will not be able to stop it. You may actually find yourselves fighting God!"

You, brothers, must pick out from your number seven men of good standing, who are wise and full of the Spirit, and we will put them in charge of this matter,

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

and he said to him, 'Leave your country and your relatives and come to the country that I will show you.'

This was what God said: 'His descendants will be strangers, living in a foreign land, and they will be enslaved and misused for four hundred years,

and I will sentence the nation that has enslaved them,' God said, 'and afterward they will leave that country and worship me on this spot.'

I have seen all the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groans, and I have come down to save them. So come! I will make you my messenger to Egypt!'

This was the Moses who said to the descendants of Israel, 'God will make a prophet rise from among your brothers to teach you, just as he made me rise.'

You offered me the tent of Moloch and the star of your god Rompha, The images you had made to worship! So I will deport you beyond Babylon.'

His sentence ended in his humiliation. Who will tell the story of his posterity? For his life is perished from the earth."

"But get up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do."

For I am going to show him what he will have to endure for my sake."

with all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles, and wild birds in it.

It is of him that all the prophets bear witness that everyone that believes in him will have his sins forgiven in his name."

and when I looked at it, I saw in it quadrupeds, wild animals, reptiles, and wild birds.

and he will tell you things that will save you and your whole household.'

and I remembered the saying of the Lord, 'John baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the holy Spirit.'

and said, "You monster of underhandedness and cunning! You son of the devil! You enemy of all that is right! Will you never stop trying to make the Lord's straight paths crooked?

The Lord's hand is right upon you, and you will be blind and unable even to see the sun for a time." Instantly a mist of darkness fell upon him, and he groped about for someone to lead him by the hand.

Then he removed him and raised David up to be their king, bearing this testimony to him: 'I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my own heart, who will do all that I desire.'

Now as evidence that he has raised him from the dead, never again to return to decay, he said this: 'I will fulfil to you my sacred promises to David.'

For in another psalm he says, 'You will not let your Holy One undergo decay.'

" 'Look, you scoffers! Then wonder and begone! For I am doing something in your times Which you will never believe even when it is related to you!' "

" 'Afterward I will return, and rebuild David's fallen dwelling. I will rebuild its very ruins, and set it up again,

that you avoid whatever has been sacrificed to idols, the tasting of blood and of the meat of animals that have been strangled, and immorality. Keep yourselves free from these things and you will get on well. Goodbye."

"Believe in the Lord Jesus," they said, "and you and your household will be saved!"
