“and

they will support you with their hands,

“Master,” Simon replied, “we've worked hard all night long and caught nothing. But if you say so, I'll let down the nets.”[fn]

Then he ordered him to tell no one: “But go and show yourself to the priest, and offer what Moses commanded for your cleansing as a testimony to them.”

Seeing their faith he said, “Friend,[fn] your sins are forgiven.”

“Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Get up and walk'?

John responded, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he does not follow us.”

The seventy-two[fn] returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”

At that time he[fn] rejoiced in the Holy[fn] Spirit and said, “I praise[fn] you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure.[fn]

He answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,” and “your neighbor as yourself.”

“I'll get up, go to my father, and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.

The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I'm no longer worthy to be called your son.'

“‘Your brother is here,' he told him, ‘and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'[fn]

“until I make your enemies your footstool.'

“But I have prayed for you[fn] that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

“Go call your husband,” he told her, “and come back here.”

“For you've had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”

“Go,” Jesus told him, “your son will live.” The man believed what[fn] Jesus said to him and departed.

The father realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” So he himself believed, along with his whole household.

“Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk.”

and so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath. The law prohibits you from picking up your mat.”

So his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea so that your disciples can see your works that you are doing.

Then they asked him, “Where is your Father? ”

“You know neither me nor my Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew me, you would also know my Father.”

“He's a prophet,” he said.

Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes? ”

“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.

Daughter Zion. Look, your King is coming,

sitting on a donkey's colt.

“Father, glorify your name.”[fn]

Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly I tell you, a rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times.

“I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect[fn] them by your name that you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one.

“I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

“I made your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have loved me with may be in them and I may be in them.”

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son.”

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Don't be faithless, but believe.”

“Ananias,” Peter asked, “why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the proceeds of the land?

Then Peter said to her, “Why did you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

“and said to him: Leave your country and relatives, and come to the land that I will show you.

Paul said in a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet! ” And he jumped up and began to walk around.

They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved ​— ​you and your household.”

When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to ridicule him, but others said, “We'd like to hear from you again about this.”

Paul said, “I am a Jewish man from Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of an important city. Now I ask you, let me speak to the people.”

“And now, why are you delaying? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.'

“and saw him telling me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.'

“And when the blood of your witness Stephen was being shed, I stood there giving approval[fn] and guarding the clothes of those who killed him.'

“I did not know, brothers, that he was the high priest,” replied Paul. “For it is written, You must not speak evil of a ruler of your people.”

he said, “I will give you a hearing whenever your accusers also get here.” He ordered that he be kept under guard in Herod's palace.[fn]

“You can verify for yourself that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.

“But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and a witness of what you have seen and will see of me.

Because of your hardened and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment is revealed.

Circumcision benefits you if you observe the law, but if you are a lawbreaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

Absolutely not! Let God be true, even though everyone is a liar, as it is written:

That you may be justified in your words

and triumph when you judge.

He believed, hoping against hope, so that he became the father of many nations according to what had been spoken: So will your descendants be.

But the righteousness that comes from faith speaks like this: Do not say in your heart, “Who will go up to heaven? ” that is, to bring Christ down

On the contrary, what does it say? The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. This is the message of faith that we proclaim:

Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and they are trying to take my life!

But

If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

For in so doing

you will be heaping fiery coals on his head.

The commandments, Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal;[fn] do not covet; and any other commandment, are summed up by this commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself.

But you, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.[fn]

For if your brother or sister is hurt by what you eat, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy, by what you eat, someone for whom Christ died.

It is a good thing not to eat meat, or drink wine, or do anything that makes your brother or sister stumble.[fn]

and so that Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,

Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,

and I will sing praise to your name.

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don't need you! ” Or again, the head can't say to the feet, “I don't need you! ”

Where, death, is your victory?

Where, death, is your sting?

For he says:

At an acceptable time I listened to you,

and in the day of salvation I helped you.

See, now is the acceptable time; now is the day of salvation!

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring to one, and to your seed, who is Christ.

For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise,

Don't let anyone despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love,[fn] in faith, and in purity.

Practice these things; be committed to them, so that your progress may be evident to all.

Don't continue drinking only water, but use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

Remembering your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.

But as for you, exercise self-control in everything, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.

Proclaim these things; encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard[fn] you.

I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers,

But I didn't want to do anything without your consent, so that your good deed might not be out of obligation, but of your own free will.

Yes, brother, may I benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters;

I will sing hymns to you in the congregation.

Then I said, “See —

I have come to do your will, God.”

he then says, See, I have come to do your will.[fn] He takes away the first to establish the second.

Indeed, if you fulfill the royal law prescribed in the Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing well.

But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.”[fn] Show me your faith without works, and I will show you faith by my works.

I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, in keeping with a command we have received from the Father.

The children of your elect sister send you greetings.

Dear friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and are in good health, just as your whole life is going well.[fn]

They have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner worthy of God,

“I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate evil people. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars.

“But I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first.

“I know your[fn] affliction and poverty, but you are rich. I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

“I know your works ​— ​your love, faithfulness,[fn] service, and endurance. I know that your last works are greater than the first.

“Write to the angel[fn] of the church in Sardis: Thus says the one who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know your works; you have a reputation[fn] for being alive, but you are dead.

“I know your works. Look, I have placed before you an open door that no one can close because you have but little power; yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one takes your crown.

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot.

“I advise you to buy from me gold refined in the fire so that you may be rich, white clothes so that you may be dressed and your shameful nakedness not be exposed, and ointment to spread on your eyes so that you may see.

Our Lord and God,[fn]

you are worthy to receive

glory and honor and power,

because you have created all things,

and by your will

they exist and were created.

And they sang a new song:

You are worthy to take the scroll

and to open its seals,

because you were slaughtered,

and you purchased[fn] people[fn]

for God by your blood

from every tribe and language

and people and nation.

So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take and eat it; it will be bitter in your stomach, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty,

who is and who was,[fn]

Another angel came out of the temple, crying out in a loud voice to the one who was seated on the cloud, “Use your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come, since the harvest of the earth is ripe.”

Great and awe-inspiring are your works,

because all the nations were deceived

by your sorcery.
