Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,

All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

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.

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.

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."

Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"

Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jewish people come together. I said nothing in secret.

Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"

Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."

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.

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

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

Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."

Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

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."

The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."

He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." They cast it therefore, and now they weren't able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

Truly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you do not want to go."

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.

The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."

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,

who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."

Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

They were all amazed and marveled, saying, "Behold, are not all these who speak Galileans?

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

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.

Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

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.'

Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;

All the people saw him walking and praising God.

And as he held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

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

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

Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days.

Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.

While you kept it, did not it remain your own? After it was sold, was not it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God."

Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard it.

But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."

Great fear came on the whole church, and on all who heard these things.

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.

After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

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."

But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word."

And these words pleased the whole gathering. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch;
