What do these testify against you? But Jesus remained silent. And the chief priest answered and said to him: I adjure you, by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God? Jesus said to him: You have said. Moreover, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the Almighty, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.

I was daily with you in the temple, and taught, and you did not take me; but this is so, that the scriptures may be fulfilled. And they all forsook him and fled. And there followed him a certain young man, who had a linen garment around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him; and he left the linen garment, and fled from them naked. And they led Jesus away to the chief priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes. And Peter followed him, at a distance, even into the palace of the chief priest, and sat with the attendants, and warmed himself at the fire. And the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin sought for testimony against Jesus, in order to put him to death, and found none. For many testified falsely against him, and their testimony did not agree. And some rose up, and testified falsely against him, saying: We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands. And not even in this did their testimony agree. And the chief priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying: Do you make no answer? What do these testify against you? But he was silent, and made no answer. Again, the chief priest asked him, and said to him: Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? Jesus replied: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming with the clouds of heaven. And the chief priest rent his clothes, and said: What further need have we of witnesses? You have heard his impious speech. What think you? They all condemned him to be a subject of death. And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him with their fists, and to say to him: Give a response. And the attendants struck him with their open hands.

And they took him, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the chief priest. But Peter followed at a distance. read more.
And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat down in the midst of them. And a certain maid-servant saw him sitting by the fire; and, looking intently at him, she said: This man also was with him. But he denied, saying: "Woman, I know him not. And after a little, another saw him, and said: You also are one of them. Peter replied: Man, I am not. And about one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean. But Peter said: Man, I know not what you say. And immediately, while he was speaking, the cock crew. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. And Peter went out and wept bitterly. And the men that had Jesus in custody mocked him, and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying: Give a response; who is it that struck you? And many other impious things they said to him. And when it was day, the elders of the people, the chief priests also and scribes, met together, and led him up to the Sanhedrin, and said: If you are the Christ, tell us. But he said to them: If I tell you, you will not believe; and if I also ask you a question, you will not answer me, nor let me go. Henceforth the Son of man shall sit on the right hand of the power of God. And they all said: You are, then, the Son of God? He said to them: You say that I am. They replied: What further need have we of testimony? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.

While they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, being vexed because they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

But many of those who heard the word, believed: and the number of the men was about five thousand. And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes, and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest, met together in Jerusalem. And when they had made them stand in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name have you done this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, if we are this day examined with respect unto the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he has been saved, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him does this man stand before you in health. This is the stone that was rejected with contempt by you builders, which has become the head of the corner. And there is salvation in no other; nor, indeed, is there another name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved. Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and plain men, they were astonished; and they also recognized them, that they had been with Jesus; and, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply. But, having commanded them to go aside out of the Sanhedrin, they consulted with one another, saying: What shall we do with these men? For that an evident sign has been done by them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem, and we can not deny it. But that it may spread no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, so that they speak no more to any man in this name. And they called them in, and commanded them to speak no more at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus. Bat Peter and John answering them, said: Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge you. For we can not but speak the things that we have seen and heard. And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing for which they could punish them, because of the people; for they all glorified God on ac count of that which had been done;

Then there arose some who be longed to the synagogue called the synagogue of the Freedmen, and some of the Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia, and they disputed with Stephen. And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke. Then they instigated men to say: We have heard him speak impious words against Moses, and against God. read more.
And they excited the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and took him by violence, and brought him into the Sanhedrin. And they brought forward false witnesses, who said: This man ceases not to speak words against this holy place, and the law. For we have heard him say, that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us. And all that sat in the Sanhedrin, looking earnestly upon him, saw his face that it was like the face of an angel.

And the chief priest said: Are these things so? He replied: Brethren and fathers, hear: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, and said to him: Get out from your land, and from your kindred, and come into a land that I will show you. read more.
Then he departed from the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran; and thence, after his father died, he removed into this land, in which you now dwell. And he gave him no inheritance in it, not a foot breadth: and yet he promised to give it for a possession to him, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no child. And God spoke thus: That his posterity should sojourn in a strange land, and they should enslave them and afflict them, for four hundred years. And the nation to which they shall be in bondage I will judge, said God; and after that, they shall come forth and serve me in this place. And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and thus he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot the twelve patriarchs. And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, and delivered him from all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharoah, king of Egypt: and he made him governor over Egypt, and his whole house. And there came a famine, and great affliction on the whole land of Egypt, and of Chanaan: and our fathers found no sustenance. But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time: and, on their second visit, Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and the kindred of Joseph were made known to Pharaoh. And Joseph sent and called to him his father Jacob, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls. And Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers; and they were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulcher which Abraham bought for its value in silver, from the sons of Emmor, the father of Sychem. And as the time of the promise which God had made with an oath to Abraham drew near, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt, till another king arose, who knew not Joseph. He dealt insidiously with our race, and afflicted our fathers, so that they exposed their infants, in order that they might not live. At which time Moses was born; and he was exceedingly beautiful, and was nursed three months in his father's house. But having been exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and educated him as her own son. And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. When he had completed his fortieth year, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel. And seeing one of them unjustly treated, he defended and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian. And he supposed that his brethren would understand that, by his hand, God would give them salvation: but they under stood not. And on the next day he showed himself to them, as they were fighting, and endeavored to persuade them to peace, saying, Men, you are brothers: why do you injure one another? But he that was doing the injury to his neighbor, thrust him. away, saying, Who made you a ruler or a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday? And at that saying Moses fled, and became a resident in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons. And when forty years were completed, there appeared to him, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight, and as he was drawing near to observe it, the voice of the Lord came to him: I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abra ham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not observe it. Then said the Lord to him: Loose your shoes from your feet; for the place in which you stand is holy ground. I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and I have come down to deliver them; and now come, and I will send you into Egypt. This Moses, whom they rejected, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? him God sent as a ruler and as a redeemer, by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush. He brought them out, after he had performed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness, forty years. This is that Moses, who said to the sons of Israel, A prophet like me will the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren; him shall you hear. This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers; he received the living oracles, that he might give them to us. To him our fathers were not willing to be obedient; but they rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt, saying to Aaron: Make us gods that shall go be fore us; for, as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has become of him. And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. But God turned and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: Your victims and your sacrifices did you offer to me for forty years in the wilderness, house of Israel? Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your God Remphan, images which you made to worship; and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, built as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to build it, according to the pattern which he had seen: which our fathers, who were with Joshua, received by succession, and brought into the land possessed by the Gentiles, whom God continued to drive out from the face of our fathers till the -days of David, who found favor before God, and desired to find a dwelling-place for the God of Jacob. But Solomon built him a house. Yet the Most High dwells not in temples made with hands, as says the prophet: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What house will -you build me? says the Lord; or what is the place of my rest? Has not my hand made all these things? You stiff-necked, and uncircumcised in heart and in ears, you do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so also do you. Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? They slew also those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you have now become the betrayers and murderers; who received the law by the appointment of angels, and have not kepi, it. "When they heard these things, they were enraged in their hearts, and gnashed upon him with their teeth. But being full of the Holy Spirit, he looked earnestly up into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; and he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God. And they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and, with one consent, rushed upon him, and drove him out of the city, and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man called Saul. And they stoned Stephen while he was calling on the Lord, and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Then he departed from the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran; and thence, after his father died, he removed into this land, in which you now dwell. And he gave him no inheritance in it, not a foot breadth: and yet he promised to give it for a possession to him, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no child.
