What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was made known, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father, and was made known to us), what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that ye also may have fellowship with us. Even also our fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And Peter and the apostles having answered, they said, We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye murdered, having hung on a tree. God exalted this man with his right hand, a Pathfinder and a Savior to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins. read more.
And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.

ye know, the word having occurred throughout the whole of Judea beginning from Galilee after the immersion that John preached-- Jesus of Nazareth--how God anointed him with Holy Spirit and with power, who passed through doing good, and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him. And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, whom also they killed, having hung on a tree. read more.
This man God raised up the third day, and granted him to become manifest, not to all the people, but to witnesses who were previously chosen by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he arose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to solemnly testify that this is the man designated by God, Judge of the living and the dead. To this man all the prophets testify, that every man who believes in him, to receive remission of sins through his name.

A man came to be who was sent from God, his name was John. This man came for testimony so that he might testify about the light, so that all might believe through him. That man was not the light, but that he might testify about the light. read more.
He was the TRUE light coming into the world that enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, and the world knew him not. He came to his own, and his own did not accept him. But as many as did accept him, to them he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were begotten, not from blood, nor from a will of flesh, nor from a will of man, but from God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. And we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John testified about him, and cried out, saying, This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me came to be before me, because he was before me.

so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. read more.
For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself. And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man. Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice, and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment. I can from myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge. And my judgment is righteous because I seek not my will, but the will of the Father who sent me. If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid. There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he testifies about me is valid. Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. But I do not take the testimony from man. However, I say these things, so that ye may be saved. That man was the lamp that burns and shines, and ye were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light. But I have testimony greater than of John, for the works that the Father has given me so that I might complete them, the same works that I do, they testify about me that the Father has sent me. And the Father, he who sent me, has testified about me.Ye have neither heard his voice, nor have ever seen his appearance. And ye have not his word dwelling in you, because ye do not believe that man whom he sent for this. Ye search the scriptures, because ye think to have eternal life in them, and those are testifying about me. And ye will not come to me, so that ye may have life. I do not receive glory from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God within yourselves. I have come in my Father's name, and ye do not accept me. If another man should come in his own name, ye will accept that man. How can ye believe, who receive glory from each other, and seek not the glory from the only God? Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. The man who accuses you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped. For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for that man wrote about me. But if ye believe not the writings of that man, how will ye believe my sayings?

For I am LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior. I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead. Since thou have been precious in my sight, [and] honorable, and I have loved thee, therefore I will give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life. Fear not, for I am with thee. I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west. read more.
I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Keep not back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made. Bring forth the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, It is tru Ye are my witnesses, says LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen, that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after me. I, even I, am LORD, and besides me there is no savior. I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shown, and there was no strange [god] among you. Therefore ye are my witnesses, says LORD, and I am God.

Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen. Thus says LORD who made thee, and formed thee from the womb, who will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him who is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring. read more.
And they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses. One shall say, I am LORD's, and another shall call [himself] by the name of Jacob, and another shall subscribe with his hand to LORD, and surname [himself] by the name of Israel. Thus says LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, LORD of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? And let them declare the things that are coming, and that shall come to pass. Fear ye not, nor be afraid. Have I not declared to thee of old, and shown it? And ye are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Yea, there is no Rock. I know not any.

Indeed therefore having come together, they questioned him, saying, Lord, do thou restore the kingdom to Israel at this time? And he said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father established in his own authority. But ye will receive the power of the Holy Spirit that comes upon you. And ye will be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and as far as of the extremity of the earth. read more.
And having said these things, as they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their eyes. And while they were gazing at his going into the sky, behold, two men had also stood by them in white apparel, who also said, Men, Galileans, why stand ye gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into the sky will so come, in that same way as ye saw him going into the sky.

And as the lame man who was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, amazed. And Peter having seen, he responded to the people, Men, Israelites, why do ye marvel at this man? Or why do ye stare at us, as by our own power or piety we have made him to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Boy Jesus, whom ye actually delivered up and denied him in the presence of Pilate who preferred to release that man. read more.
But ye denied the Holy and Righteous, and asked for a man, a murderer to be granted to you. And ye killed the Pathfinder of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

Simon Peter, a bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as all things of his divine power to us, things toward life and piety, which were granted through the knowledge of him who called us through glory and virtue. read more.
Because of which, the precious and greatest promises have been given to us, so that through these ye might become companions of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in lust. Now this same thing also, having applied all eagerness, furnish in your faith, virtue, and in virtue, knowledge, and in knowledge, self-control, and in self-control, perseverance, and in perseverance, piety, and in piety, brotherly affection, and in brotherly affection, love. For these things existing in you and abounding, it leads to not being idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he in whom these things are not present is blind, being near-sighted, having deliberately forgotten the purification of his former sins. Therefore, brothers, instead be diligent to make your calling and selection sure, for doing these things, ye would, no, not ever stumble. For so the entrance will be furnished to you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Therefore I will not neglect to always remind you about these things, although having known them, and having been established in the present truth. But I think it right, inasmuch as I am in this tent, to arouse you in memory. Knowing that the putting off of my tent is imminent, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ indicated to me. And also I will endeavor for you to always have, after my departure, the memory of these things to apply. For we revealed to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, not men who followed in cunningly devised myths, but men who became eyewitnesses of the majesty of that man.

For we revealed to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, not men who followed in cunningly devised myths, but men who became eyewitnesses of the majesty of that man. For having received from God the Father honor and glory from a voice of such kind brought to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I am well pleased. And we heard this voice, which was brought out of heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.

And having responded, Peter said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If thou desire, we could make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him.

so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. read more.
For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself. And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man. Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice, and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment. I can from myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge. And my judgment is righteous because I seek not my will, but the will of the Father who sent me. If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid. There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he testifies about me is valid. Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. But I do not take the testimony from man. However, I say these things, so that ye may be saved. That man was the lamp that burns and shines, and ye were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light. But I have testimony greater than of John, for the works that the Father has given me so that I might complete them, the same works that I do, they testify about me that the Father has sent me. And the Father, he who sent me, has testified about me.Ye have neither heard his voice, nor have ever seen his appearance. And ye have not his word dwelling in you, because ye do not believe that man whom he sent for this.

The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid. Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I might testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I go, but ye do not know where I come from and where I go. Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man. read more.
But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me. And also it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid. I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye did not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me. But ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. read more.
And I give them eternal life, and they will, no, not perish into the age, and not any will snatch them out of my hand. My Father who has given to me, is greater than all, and not one is able to snatch out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one. Therefore again the Jews took up stones so that they might stone him. Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father. Because of them, which work do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, We stone thee not about a good work, but about blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, make thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods? If he designated those men gods, for whom the word of God came to be (and the scripture cannot be broken), whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, do ye say, Thou blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God? If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me. But if I am doing them, even though ye do not believe me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the him.

And Jesus answered them saying, The hour has come that the Son of man should be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat that falls into the ground dies, it remains alone, but if it dies it bears much fruit.

Father, save me from this hour. But because of this I came to this hour. Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came out of heaven, saying, I both glorified it, and I will glorify again. The multitude therefore that stood by and heard, said thunder occurred, others said, A heavenly agent has spoken to him. Jesus answered and said, This voice occurred not for my sake, but for your sakes.

And who is he who overcomes the world, if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

And thine eyes shall not pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

I am the TRUE grapevine, and my Father is the farmer. Every branch in me not bearing fruit, he removes it. And every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it, so that it may bear more fruit. Now ye are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. read more.
Dwell in me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it dwells in the grapevine, so neither ye, if ye do not dwell in me. I am the grapevine, ye are the branches. He who dwells in me, and I in him, this man bears much fruit, because without me ye can do nothing. If any man does not dwell in me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered. And they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and are burned. If ye dwell in me, and my sayings dwell in you, ye will ask whatever ye may want, and it will be done to you. By this my Father is glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye will become my disciples. As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Dwell ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye will dwell in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and dwell in his love. These things I have spoken to you that my joy may dwell in you, and your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that ye love each other, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that some man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do as many things as I command you. I no longer call you bondmen, because the bondman does not know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I made known to you. Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and appointed you, so that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit may remain, so that anything whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, he may give you. These things I command you, so that ye may love each other. If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you. If ye were of the world, the world would love its own, but because ye are not of the world (instead I chose you out of the world), because of this the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, A bondman is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you because of my name, because they have not known him who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works that no other man has done, they would not have had sin, but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. But, that the word that is written in their law may be fulfilled, They hated me without cause. But when the helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me. And ye also testify, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye murdered, having hung on a tree.
