“Who is this man who told you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk'? ” they asked.

“so that all people may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

He asked this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do.

“What can we do to perform the works of God? ” they asked.

Then they said, “Sir, give us this bread always.”

“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws[fn] him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

“But there are some among you who don't believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning those who did not[fn] believe and the one who would betray him.)

He was referring to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son,[fn] one of the Twelve, because he was going to betray him.

(For not even his brothers believed in him.)

“The one who speaks on his own seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

“I know him because I am from him, and he sent me.”

However, many from the crowd believed in him and said, “When the Messiah comes, he won't perform more signs than this man has done, will he? ”

Then the Jews said to one another, “Where does he intend to go that we won't find him? He doesn't intend to go to the Jewish people dispersed[fn] among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does he?

He said this about the Spirit. Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit, for the Spirit[fn] had not yet been given[fn] because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

So the crowd was divided because of him.

At dawn he went to the temple again, and all the people were coming to him. He sat down and began to teach them.

They asked this to trap him, in order that they might have evidence to accuse him.

Jesus stooped down and started writing on the ground with his finger.

He spoke these words by the treasury, while teaching in the temple. But no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.

As he was saying these things, many believed in him.

“You do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say I don't know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I keep his word.

The Jews replied, “You aren't fifty years old yet, and you've seen Abraham? ”[fn]

So they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus was hidden[fn] and went out of the temple.[fn]

“Who is he, Sir, that I may believe in him? ” he asked.

Again the Jews picked up rocks to stone him.

He said this, and then he told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I'm on my way to wake him up.”

“I'm glad for you that I wasn't there so that you may believe. But let's go to him.”

As soon as Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.

“Where have you put him? ” he asked.

“Lord,” they told him, “come and see.”

So the Jews said, “See how he loved him! ”

Therefore, many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he did believed in him.

“If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

So from that day on they plotted to kill him.

The chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it so that they could arrest him.

Even though he had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him.

Nevertheless, many did believe in him even among the rulers, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, so that they would not be banned from the synagogue.

“If anyone hears my words and doesn't keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

For he knew who would betray him. This is why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

“Truly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master,[fn] and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him.

“If God is glorified in him,[fn] God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once.

“If you know me, you will also know[fn] my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

They answered him, “If this man weren't a criminal,[fn] we wouldn't have handed him over to you.”

The soldiers also twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on his head, and clothed him in a purple robe.

From that moment Pilate kept trying[fn] to release him. But the Jews shouted, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Anyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar! ”

They shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him! ”

Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your king? ”

“We have no king but Caesar! ” the chief priests answered.

So they said to one another, “Let's not tear it, but cast lots for it, to see who gets it.” This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled that says: They divided my clothes among themselves, and they cast lots for my clothing. This is what the soldiers did.

So she went running to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They've taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they've put him! ”

They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying? ”

“Because they've taken away my Lord,” she told them, “and I don't know where they've put him.”

“Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it that you're seeking? ”

Supposing he was the gardener, she replied, “Sir, if you've carried him away, tell me where you've put him, and I will take him away.”

“Come and have breakfast,” Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you? ” because they knew it was the Lord.

“For David says of him:

I saw the Lord ever before me;

because he is at my right hand,

I will not be shaken.

When Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Fellow Israelites, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us, as though we had made him walk by our own power or godliness?

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

“He didn't give him an inheritance in it ​— ​not even a foot of ground ​— ​but he promised to give it to him as a possession, and to his descendants after him, even though he was childless.

“When he was put outside, Pharaoh's daughter adopted and raised him as her own son.

When they heard these things, they were enraged[fn] and gnashed their teeth at him.

They yelled at the top of their voices, covered their ears, and together rushed against him.

But Peter told him, “May your silver be destroyed with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!

So he ordered the chariot to stop, and both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.

“But get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

“Get up and go to the street called Straight,” the Lord said to him, “to the house of Judas, and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, since he is praying there.

After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,

When he arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, since they did not believe he was a disciple.

He conversed and debated with the Hellenistic Jews, but they tried to kill him.

Peter stayed for some time in Joppa with Simon, a leather tanner.

A voice said to him, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat.”

Again, a second time, the voice said to him, “What God has made clean, do not call impure.”

“All the prophets testify about him that through his name everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins.”

and when he found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught large numbers. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.

After the arrest, he put him in prison and assigned four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

“Get dressed,” the angel told him, “and put on your sandals.” And he did. “Wrap your cloak around you,” he told him, “and follow me.”

Herod had been very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. Together they presented themselves before him. After winning over Blastus, who was in charge of the king's bedroom, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king's country.

“Though they found no grounds for the death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him killed.

When he wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers and sisters wrote to the disciples to welcome him. After he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.

and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? ”

“No,” they told him, “we haven't even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

There were many tears shed by everyone. They embraced Paul and kissed him,

for the mass of people followed, yelling, “Get rid of him! ”

“came and stood by me and said, ‘Brother Saul, regain your sight.' And in that very hour I looked up and saw him.

“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.'

The next day, since he wanted to find out exactly why Paul was being accused by the Jews, he released him[fn] and instructed the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin to convene. He brought Paul down and placed him before them.

“So now you, along with the Sanhedrin, make a request to the commander that he bring him down to you[fn] as if you were going to investigate his case more thoroughly. But, before he gets near, we are ready to kill him.”

“Don't let them persuade you, because there are more than forty of them lying in ambush ​— ​men who have bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, waiting for your consent.”

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]

Publius's father was in bed suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went to him, and praying and laying his hands on him, he healed him.

Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house. And he welcomed all who visited him,

He did not even spare his own Son but gave him up for us all. How will he not also with him grant us everything?

But someone somewhere has testified:

What is man that you remember him,

or the son of man that you care for him?

For Jesus is considered worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder has more honor than the house.

In the same way, Christ did not exalt himself to become a high priest, but God who said to him,

You are my Son;

today I have become your Father,[fn]

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, met Abraham and blessed him as he returned from defeating the kings,

but he became a priest with an oath made by the one who said to him:

Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Didn't God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can such faith save him?

See what great love[fn] the Father has given us that we should be called God's children ​— ​and we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it didn't know him.

unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous.

The one who believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. The one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony God has given about his Son.

This is the confidence we have before him: If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
