The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes.

Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person. Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped him.

him God raised up the third day, and ordained that he should be visibly manifested; not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he was arisen from the dead. And hath commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to bear our testimony that this is the person who is ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead. To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one who believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins.

A man was sent from God, whose name was John. He came for a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not the Light, but sent that he should bear testimony concerning the Light. read more.
He was that true Light, which illumines every man by his coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his peculiar people, and his peculiar people did not receive him. But as many as did receive him, on them he bestowed authority to become children of God, even on those who believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became incarnate, and tabernacled with us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was.

in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. read more.
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself; and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation. I am not able to perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me. Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth. But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe. He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult in his light. But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not glory from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone? Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope. For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write. But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?

They then accordingly assembling together, asked him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time reestablish the kingdom of Israel? But he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times and the seasons, which the Father hath reserved under his own authority. But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses for me, both in Jerusalem, and throughout all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the extremity of the earth. read more.
And as he was speaking these things, while they were looking upon him, he was taken up; and a cloud enveloping him hid him from their eyes. And as they looked up earnestly into the heaven, while he was passing, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; who also said to them, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in the same manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

But as the lame man that was cured held fast Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them into the portico called Solomon's, in vast amazement. Then Peter observing it, addressed himself to the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why gaze ye upon us, as if by our own power or piety we had enabled this man to walk? The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him. read more.
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and besought that a man, a murderer, might as a favour be given unto you; but ye slew the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead: of which we are witnesses.

SIMON Peter, the servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained with us the same precious faith by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ: grace unto you and peace be multiplied through the knowledge of God, even Jesus our Lord, as his divine power hath freely given us all things tending to life and godliness, through the acknowledgment of him who hath called us to glory and fortitude: read more.
whereby superlatively great and precious promises are freely given to us: that by these ye might become partakers of a divine nature, having fled far away from the corruption that is in the world through inordinate concupiscence.??5 And for this very purpose employing the greatest diligence, lead up in the train of your faith courage; and with courage intelligence; and with intelligence moderation; and with moderation patience; and with patience piety; and with piety fraternal affection; and with fraternal affection love. For if these things are in your possession, and abounding, they will render you neither inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that hath no possession of these things, is blind, dim-sighted, sinking into oblivion of his purification from the sins of his former days. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make sure your calling and election: for by doing these things, ye shall never at any time stumble: but an entrance will thus be richly afforded you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore I will not be negligent continually to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth. Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this frail tabernacle, to rouse up your attention by reminding you: knowing that the deposition of this frail tabernacle of mine is hastily approaching, as our Lord Jesus Christ hath made evident to me. I will endeavour then that even after my decease, ye may always have wherewith to preserve the remembrance of these things. For we have not followed artfully devised fables, when we made known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
