About the woman, then--at the resurrection, whose wife is she to be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?"

As to the fact that the dead rise, even Moses indicated that, in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord--'The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

"Be on your guard against the Teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and like to be greeted in the streets with respect, and to have the best seats in the Synagogues, and places of honor at dinner.

When some of them spoke about the Temple being decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said:

Then he withdrew about a stone's throw, and knelt down and began to pray.

About an hour later another man declared positively: "This man also was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean!"

But Peter said: "I do not know what you are speaking about." Instantly, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.

When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, having heard a great deal about him; and he was hoping to see some sign given by him.

There were Mary of Magdala, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James. The other women, too, spoke about this to the Apostles.

It happened that very day that two of the disciples were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem,

Talking together, as they went, about all that had just taken place.

While they were talking about these things and discussing them, Jesus himself came up and went on their way with them;

"What things do you mean?" asked Jesus. "Why, about Jesus of Nazareth," they answered, "who, in the eyes of God and all the people, was a Prophet, whose power was felt in both his words and actions;

While they were still talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, [and said "Peace be with you."]

"This is what I told you," he said, "when I was still with you--that everything that had been written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms, must be fulfilled."

And now I am myself about to send upon you that which my Father has promised. But you must remain in the city until you have been invested with power from above."

"Who then are you?" they continued; "tell us, that we may have some answer to give to those who have sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

"Come, and you shall see," he replied. So they went, and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four in the afternoon.

Jacob's Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about mid-day.

So he asked them at what time the boy began to get better. "It was yesterday, about one o'clock," they said, "that the fever left him."

"Stand up," said Jesus, "take up your mat, and walk about."

The man was cured immediately, and took up his mat and began to walk about.

"The man who cured me," he answered, "said to me 'Take up your mat and walk about.'"

"Who was it," they asked, "that said to you 'Take up your mat and walk about'?"

"Make the people sit down," said Jesus. It was a grassy spot; so the men, who numbered about five thousand, sat down,

But Jesus, aware that his disciples were murmuring about it, said to them:

After this many of his disciples drew back, and did not go about with him any longer.

He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who was about to betray him, though he was one of the Twelve.

After this, Jesus went about in Galilee, for he would not do so in Judea, because the Jews were eager to put him to death.

And there were many whispers about him among the people, some saying 'He is a good man;' others: 'No! he is leading the people astray.'

No one, however, spoke freely about him, for fear of the Jews.

About the middle of the Festival week, Jesus went up into the Temple Courts, and began teaching.

The Pharisees heard the people whispering about him in this way, and so the Chief Priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him;

So there was a difference of opinion among them, and they again questioned the man; "What do you yourself say about him, for it is to you that he has given sight?"

But how it is that he can see now we do not know; nor do we know who it was that gave him his sight. Ask him--he is old enough- -he will tell you about himself."

"I know nothing about his being a bad man," he replied; "one thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I can see."

He does this because he is only a hired man and does not care about the sheep.

"John gave no sign of his mission," they said; "but everything that he said about this man was true."

"Are not there twelve hours in the day?" answered Jesus. "If a man walks about in the day-time, he does not stumble, because he can see the light of the sun;

But, if he walks about at night, he stumbles, because he has not the light."

Bethany being only about two miles from Jerusalem,

In consequence of this, Jesus did not go about publicly among the Jews any more, but left that neighborhood, and went into the country bordering on the Wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.

One of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was about to betray Jesus, asked:

I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but this is in fulfillment of the words of Scripture--'He that is eating my bread has lifted his heel against me.'

But I have spoken to you of these things that, when the time for them comes, you may remember that I told you about them myself.

What does he mean by 'In a little while'?" they said; "we do not know what he is speaking about."

I have spoken to you of all this in figures; a time is coming, however, when I shall not speak any longer to you in figures, but shall tell you about the Father plainly.

The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

Why question me? Question those who have listened to me as to what I have spoken about to them. They must know what I said."

"If I said anything wrong, give evidence about it," replied Jesus; "but if not, why do you strike me?"

"Do you ask me that yourself?" replied Jesus, "or did others say it to you about me?"

It was the Passover Preparation Day, and about noon. Then he said to the Jews: "Here is your King!"

But the rest of the disciples came in the boat (for they were only about a hundred yards from shore), dragging the net full of fish.

Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus: "Master, what about this man?"

Then the Apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called Olivet, which is about three quarters of a mile from the city.

About this time, at a meeting of the Brethren, when there were about a hundred and twenty present, Peter rose to speak.

"Brothers," he said, "it was necessary that the prediction of Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit made by the lips of David about Judas, who acted as guide to the men that arrested Jesus,

'It shall come about in the last days,' God says, 'That I will pour out my Spirit on all mankind; your sons and your daughters shall become Prophets, your young men shall see visions, and your old men dream dreams;

Brothers, I can speak to you the more confidently about the Patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day.

So those who accepted his teaching were baptized, and about three thousand people joined the disciples on that day alone.

And, leaping up, he stood and began to walk about, and then went with them into the Temple Courts, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

All the people saw him walking about and praising God;

Many, however, of those who had heard the Apostles' Message became believers in Christ, the number of the men alone amounting to about five thousand.

After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

When the Officer in charge at the Temple and the Chief Priests heard their story, they were perplexed about the Apostles and as to what all this would lead to.

About this time, when the number of the disciples was constantly increasing, complaints were made by the Jews of foreign birth against the native Jews, that their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution.

However, when they came to believe Philip, as he told them the Good News about the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

Then Philip began, and, taking this passage as his text, told him the Good News about Jesus.

"Lord," exclaimed Ananias, "I have heard from many people about this man--how much harm he has done at Jerusalem to your People there.

And so it came about that the Church, throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, enjoyed peace and became firmly established; and, ordering its life by reverence for the Lord and the help of the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.

One afternoon, about three o'clock, he distinctly saw in a vision an angel from God come to him, and call him by name.

On the next day, while these men were on their way, just as they were nearing the town, Peter went up on the housetop about mid-day to pray.

The story, I mean, of Jesus of Nazareth, and how God consecrated him his Christ by enduing him with the Holy Spirit and with power; and how he went about doing good and curing all who were under the power of the Devil, because God was with him.

Some of them, however, who were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, on coming to Antioch, addressed themselves also to the Jews of foreign birth, telling them the Good News about that Lord Jesus.

The news about them reached the ears of the Church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

And, when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And so it came about that, for a whole year, they attended the meetings of the Church there, and taught a large number of people; and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called 'Christians.'

The hand of the Lord is upon you even now, and you will be blind for a time and unable to see the sun." Immediately a mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went feeling about for some one to guide him.

When the Governor saw what had happened, he became a believer in Christ, being greatly impressed by the teaching about the Lord.

For about forty years 'he bore with them in the Desert';

For about four hundred and fifty years. In later times he gave them Judges, of whom the Prophet Samuel was the last.

And, after carrying out everything written about him, they took Jesus down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.

We also have good news to tell you, about the promise made to our ancestors--

Said loudly: "Stand upright on your feet." The man leaped up, and began walking about,

This gave rise to a serious dispute, and much discussion, between Paul and Barnabas and these men, and it was therefore settled that Paul and Barnabas and others of their number should go up to Jerusalem, to consult the Apostles and Officers of the Church about the matter under discussion.

About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and while the prisoners were listening to them,

He laid before them and explained that the Christ must undergo suffering and rise from the dead; and "It is this man," he declared, "who is the Christ--this Jesus about whom I am telling you."

Among others, some Epicurean and Stoic Philosophers joined issue with him. Some would ask "What is this prater wanting to make out?", while others would say "He seems to be a Preacher of foreign Deities." (This was because he was telling the Good News about Jesus and the Resurrection).

For as I was going about, looking at your sacred shrines, I came upon an altar with this inscription--'To an Unknown God.' What, therefore, you worship in ignorance, that I am now proclaiming to you.

On hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some began jeering, but others said that they would hear what he had to say about that another time.

But, since it is a dispute about words, and names, and your own Law, you must see to it yourselves. I do not choose to be a judge in such matters."

Then they all set upon Sosthenes, the President of the Synagogue, and beat him in front of the Bench, but Gallio did not trouble himself about any of these things.

He had been well-instructed in the Cause of the Lord, and with burning zeal he spoke of, and taught carefully, the facts about Jesus, though he knew of no baptism but John's.

There were about twelve of them in all.

Paul went to the Synagogue there, and for three months spoke out fearlessly, giving addresses and trying to convince his hearers, about the kingdom of God.

Just about that time a great disturbance arose about the Cause.

He was about to sail to Syria, when he learned that a plot had been laid against him by the Jews; so he decided to return by way of Macedonia.

And now, I tell you, I know that none of you will ever see my face again--you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the Kingdom.

Now they have heard it said about you, that you teach all Jews in foreign countries to forsake Moses, for you tell them not to circumcise their children or even to observe Jewish customs.

Join these men, share their purification, and bear their expenses, so that they may shave their heads; and then all will see that there is no truth in what they have been told about you, but that, on the contrary, you yourself rule your life in obedience to the Jewish Law.

Just as he was about to be taken into the Fort, Paul said to the Commanding Officer: "May I speak to you?" "Do you know Greek?" asked the Commanding Officer.
