And I say to you, after this you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven.

This is done so that the scriptures will be fulfilled. They all left him, and fled. A young man followed him. He was wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. They tried to grab him.

Peter replied: Man I am not! Another hour passed. Someone else said: It is true this man was with him for he is a Galilean. Peter responded: I do not know what you are talking about! Immediately, while he spoke he heard the cockcrow. The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him: Before the cockcrow this day you will deny me three times. He left there and wept bitterly. The men that held Jesus mocked him and beat him. They blindfolded him, and asked him, saying: Prophesy: who is it that struck you? They reviled him and spoke many things against him. The next day the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together. They included chief priests and scribes. They led him away to their council, saying: If you are the Christ, tell us. But he said to them: If I tell you, you will not believe: and if I ask you, you will not answer. Soon the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God. They all asked: Are you the Son of God? He said to them: You say that I am. They responded: What further need do we have for witnesses? We have heard this from his mouth.

They stood them in their presence and asked: By what power or by what name do you do this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said: You rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, If we are on trial for a good deed done to a sick man, concerning how this man was made well; Let it be known to you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you impaled and whom God raised from the dead, even by him this man stands before you healed. This is the stone that was rejected by you builders. It became the chief corner stone. There is no salvation in anyone else. For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. They observed the confidence of Peter and John. Yet they thought they were uneducated (not formally educated) and ordinary men. They were amazed and recognized them as having been with Jesus. Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply. They ordered them to leave the council. Then they conferred among themselves. They said: What shall we do to these men? The fact that a notable miracle has been done by them is evident to all who live in Jerusalem. And we cannot deny it. We must warn these men not to speak about it in order to stop this from spreading further among the people. They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. Peter and John answered: You judge whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God. We cannot stop speaking the things we have seen and heard. When they further threatened them, they let them go. They found no basis for punishment because of the people for all men glorified God for that which was done.

The high priest asked: Are these things so? He said: Men, brothers and fathers, listen; The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran. He said to him: 'Get out of your country and away from your relatives. Go to the land that I will show you. read more.
He went out of the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran. After his father died, God moved him to this land, where you now dwell. He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. Yet he promised that he would give it to him and his seed after him for a possession. This promise was made before he had a child. God spoke to this effect, that his seed would be alien residents in a strange land. They would enslave them, and mistreat them for four hundred years. I will judge the nation to whom they shall be in bondage,' said God, 'and after they will come serve me in this place.' He gave him the covenant of circumcision. Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became father to Jacob and Jacob fathered the twelve family heads. The family heads were jealous of Joseph and sold him as a slave into Egypt. However, God was with him. And God delivered him out of all his afflictions. He gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Pharaoh made him governor over Egypt and his entire house. A famine and great suffering came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan. Our fathers found no food. When Jacob heard there was food in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit. The second time Joseph got acquainted with his brothers and Pharaoh was told about Joseph's family. Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all his family, seventy-five people. Jacob went down into Egypt and died, he and our fathers. Their bodies were brought to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem. When the time of God's promise to Abraham drew near, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt. Another king arose. He did not know Joseph. He dealt treacherously with our people and oppressed our fathers so that they cast out their young children and they did not survive. Moses was born then. He was divinely beautiful. He was nursed three months in his father's house. And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him and nourished him as her own son. Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. When he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers the children of Israel. Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged the oppressed one by killing the Egyptian. He supposed his brothers would understand how God by his hand would deliver them but they did not understand. The next day he appeared to them while they were fighting. He wanted to unite them and said, 'You are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?' The one who was treating his neighbor unjustly pushed him away, saying: 'Who made you our ruler and judge? Will you kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?' When he heard this talk Moses fled and became a stranger in the land of Median, where he became father to two sons. At the end of forty years, Jehovah's angel appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai in a flame of fire in a bush. (Exodus 3:3) When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. He drew near to look at it and the voice of Jehovah came to him. He said: I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled and did not dare to look further. Jehovah said: Take the sandals from your feet for the place where you stand is holy ground. (Exodus 3:5) I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come to deliver them. Come, I will send you into Egypt. This Moses whom they refused, saying: Who made you ruler and judge? God sent him to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush. He brought them out. He showed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. This is the Moses that said to the children of Israel, your God will raise up a prophet like me from your brothers. This one was with our father in the congregation in the wilderness. The angel spoke to him on Mount Sinai. He received the living oracles to give to us. Our fathers would not obey him. They sent him away, and in their hearts turned back again to Egypt. They said to Aaron: Make us gods to go in front of us. We do not know what happened to this Moses, who led us out of Egypt. They made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven. It is written in the book of the prophets: O you house of Israel, have you offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan. You made figures to worship them. I will carry you away beyond Babylon. Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Joshua into the possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, until the days of David; Who found favor before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. But Solomon built him a house. The most High does not dwell in houses made with hands as the prophet says, Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool. What house will you build me? Said Jehovah God. What is the place of my rest? (Isaiah 66:1) Did my hand make all these things? You obstinate men who are uncircumcised in heart and ears. You always resist the Holy Spirit as your fathers did. Which of the prophets have your fathers not persecuted? They killed those who announced in advance the coming of the righteous one whom you have betrayed and murdered. You have received the law by the disposition of angels and have not obeyed it. When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart. They gnashed their teeth at him. Being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. He said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God. Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord. They threw him out of the city, and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet. His name was Saul. They stoned Stephen. He called out: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!

Even so their witness did not agree. The high priest stood in the middle of them, and said to Jesus: Do you not answer? What is it these say against you? But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioned him: Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One? Jesus said: I am and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. Violently parting his robes, the high priest said: What need do we have for more witnesses? We have heard his words against God. What is your opinion? They all said he should be put to death. Some spit on him and covering his face they gave him blows. Guess who hit you, they said. The leaders took him and beat him with their hands.
