I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Father! as to that which thou hast given me, I desire that they also be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me; for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus saith to them, I am he. Now Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them.

As soon then as he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

Again therefore he asked them, Whom do ye seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not.

Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governors palace; and it was early. And they did not themselves go into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

They answered and said to him, If he had not been doing evil, we would not have delivered him up to thee.

Then they cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and they gave him blows on the face.

When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify! crucify! Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him; for I find nothing criminal in him.

Upon this they cried out, Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

Then therefore he delivered him up to them to be crucified. They therefore took Jesus;

where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. That the scripture might be fulfilled: "They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots." These things the soldiers did.

A vessel was brought full of vinegar; and putting a sponge filled with vinegar upon a stalk of hyssop, they raised it to his mouth.

The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, for that sabbath was a great day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they broke not his legs;

And again another scripture saith, "They shall look on him whom they pierced."

And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but concealing it for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. They came therefore and took him away.

Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews in preparing for burial.

There then, on account of the Jews preparationday, they laid Jesus; for the tomb was at hand.

She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they set out for the tomb.

And they ran both together; and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb.

For not even yet did they know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.

Whosever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whosever ye retain, they are retained.

Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.

Simon Peter saith to them, I am going a fishing. They say to him, We also will go with thee. They set out and went into the boat, and on that night caught nothing.

Then Jesus saith to them, Children, have ye any fish? They answered him, No.

And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye will find. And they cast it, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of the fishes.

And the other disciples came in the boat, (for they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with the fishes.

When therefore they had come to land, they see a fire of coals there, and a fish lying thereon, and bread.

So when they had breakfasted, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs.

They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?

And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,

Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbathdays journey.

And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the brother of James.

And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen

And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

And on the day of Pentecost they were all together in one place.

And suddenly there came out of heaven a sound, as of a rushing mighty wind; and it filled the whole house where they were sitting;

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, even as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And they were amazed, and marveled, saying, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans?

And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What can this mean?

Others making sport of it, said, They are full of new wine.

and even on my servants, and on my handmaids, I will pour out of my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

And when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what must we do?

They therefore received his word, and were baptized; and there were added on that day about three thousand souls.

And they were constantly attending on the teaching of the apostles, and the imparting [of their substance], the breaking of bread, and the prayers.

and they sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as any one had need.

And attending daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread in a private house, they partook of their food with gladness and singleness of heart,

And a certain man lame from his birth was carried along, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who entered the temple;

and they recognized him as the man that sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.

And while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

being indignant that they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

And they laid hands upon them, and put them in prison until the next day; for it was now evening.

And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, did ye do this?

And when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they wondered; and they recognized them as having been with Jesus.

And seeing the man that had been cured standing with them, they could say nothing in reply.

But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, in the name of Jesus.

So, having further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for that which had been done.

And being released they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

And on hearing it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art he that made heaven and earth and sea, and all things that are in them;

And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart, and of one soul; and not one of them said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of those who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.

And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men, when they came in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.

And many signs and wonders were wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles; and they were all with one accord in Solomons porch.

so that in the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, in order that at least the shadow of Peter, as he passed, might overshadow some of them.

The multitude also belonging to the cities around came together to Jerusalem bringing the sick, and those plagued by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.

And hearing this, they went into the temple at daybreak and taught. But the highpriest and they that were with him came and called together the council, and all the elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

But the officers that came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and brought word,

And when the priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, to what this would come.

Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence, that they might not be stoned; for they feared the people.

And having brought them, they set them before the council. And the highpriest questioned them,

But when they heard this, they were filled with rage, and were resolving to kill them.

And they were persuaded by him; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

They therefore went away from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame in behalf of that name;

and every day, in the temple, and in houses, they ceased not to teach, and to publish the glad tidings concerning Jesus the Christ.

And what was said pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch,

whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.

Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and God.

And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him to the council,

And God spoke in this manner: "That his posterity should sojourn in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into bondage, and illtreat them four hundred years;

and the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge," said God; "and after that they shall come forth, and shall worship me in this place."

And they were removed to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.

The same dealt subtly with our race, and illtreated our fathers, so that they should cast out their infants, that they might not be preserved alive.

For he supposed his brethren would understand that God through his hand would give them salvation; but they understood not.

And the next day he showed himself to them as they were contending, and urged them to peace, saying, Ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one another?

This Moses, whom they denied, saying, "Who made thee a ruler and a judge?" this very man did God send both as a ruler and a redeemer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
