And other fell in good earth, and gave fruit coming up and increasing; and one brought thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred. And he said to them, He having ears to hear, let him hear. And when he was alone, they about him with the twelve asked him of the parable. And he said to them, To you has it been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to those without, all are in parables: That seeing they might see, and not know; and hearing they might hear, and not understand; lest they turn back, and their sins be remitted to them.

And these are they sown in thorns; these are they hearing the word. And the cares of this time, and the deceit of riches, and eager desires about remaining things, coming in, choke the word, and it is unfruitful.

But Jesus was silent. And the chief priest having answered, said to him, I cause thee to swear by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art Christ, the Son of God. And Jesus says to him, Thou hast said: but I say to you, from henceforth ye shall see the Son of man, sitting from the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

For Moses truly said to the fathers, That a prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you from your brethren, like me; him shall ye hear according to all whatever he speak to you. And it shall be, whoever hears not that prophet, shall be destroyed from the people. And all the prophets from Samuel, and those in order, as many as spake, also announced beforehand these days.

And the priests and the prophets will say to the chiefs, and to all the people, saying, The judgment of death for this man, for he prophesied against this city, as ye heard with your ears. And Jeremiah will say to all the chiefs and to all the people, saying, Jehovah sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words which ye heard. And now make good your ways and your doings, and hear to the voice of Jehovah your God; and Jehovah will lament for the evil which he spake against you. And I, behold me in your hand do to me as the good and right in your eyes: But knowing, ye shall know that if ye put me to death, that ye give innocent blood upon yourselves and upon this city, and to her inhabitants: for in truth Jehovah sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words.

But the word of none do I make mine own, neither have I my soul highly prized to myself, in order to finish my course with joy, and the service which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the good news of the grace of God. And now, behold, I know that all ye shall see my face no more, among whom I passed through, proclaiming the kingdom of God. Wherefore I testify to you in this day, that I pure from the blood of all. For I concealed not to announce to you all the counsel of God. Attend therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit set you inspectors, to feed the church of God, which he acquired by his own blood. For I know this, that there shall come in after my departure grievous wolves to you, not sparing the flock. And of yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to tear away disciples after them. Wherefore watch ye, remembering that the space of three years night and day I ceased not reminding each one with tears. And now I commit you, brethren, to God, and to the word of his grace, being able to build up, and give you inheritance among all the consecrated. Silver or gold, or clothing, of none have I eagerly desired. And ye yourselves know, that to my necessities, and to those being with me, these hands served. I shewed you all things, that so being wearied ye must support the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that himself said, It is happy to give rather than receive.

Go ye, and having stood, speak in the temple all the words of this life. And having heard, they came in by morning to the temple, and taught. But the chief priest having approached, and they with him, called the council together, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison for them to be brought. And the attendants having come near, found them not in the prison, and having returned, they announced, Saying, That we truly found the prison shut with all security, and the watch standing without before the doors: and having opened, we found none within. And when the priest and captain of the temple and chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt of them, what this might be. And a certain one having come near, announced to them, saying, That, behold, the men which ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

And Peter having answered, and the sent, said, We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew with your own hands, having hung him upon a tree.

And he said to them, Men, Israelites, attend to yourselves on account of these men, what ye are about to do. For before these days Theudas arose, saying himself to be somebody: which a number of men followed, about four hundred, who was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were destroyed, and were for nothing.
