Book 44        Acts

44:001:001 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that
           Jesus began both to do and teach,

44:001:002 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through
           the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom
           he had chosen:

44:001:003 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many
           infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking
           of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

44:001:004 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that
           they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the
           promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

44:001:005 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized
           with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

44:001:006 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him,
           saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom
           to Israel?

44:001:007 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or
           the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

44:001:008 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
           upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
           and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part
           of the earth.

44:001:009 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was
           taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

44:001:010 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,
           behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

44:001:011 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up
           into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into
           heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go
           into heaven.

44:001:012 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called
           Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

44:001:013 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room,
           where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew,
           Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of
           Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

44:001:014 These all continued with one accord in prayer and
           supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus,
           and with his brethren.

44:001:015 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the
           disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about
           an hundred and twenty,)

44:001:016 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been
           fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake
           before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took
           Jesus.

44:001:017 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this
           ministry.

44:001:018 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity;
           and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all
           his bowels gushed out.

44:001:019 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch
           as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that
           is to say, The field of blood.

44:001:020 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be
           desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let
           another take.

44:001:021 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the
           time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

44:001:022 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he
           was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness
           with us of his resurrection.

44:001:023 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was
           surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

44:001:024 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the
           hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

44:001:025 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from
           which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own
           place.

44:001:026 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon
           Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

44:002:001 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all
           with one accord in one place.

44:002:002 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing
           mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were
           sitting.

44:002:003 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
           and it sat upon each of them.

44:002:004 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
           speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

44:002:005 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of
           every nation under heaven.

44:002:006 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together,
           and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak
           in his own language.

44:002:007 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another,
           Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

44:002:008 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were
           born?

44:002:009 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in
           Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and
           Asia,

44:002:010 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya
           about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

44:002:011 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the
           wonderful works of God.

44:002:012 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to
           another, What meaneth this?

44:002:013 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

44:002:014 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice,
           and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at
           Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

44:002:015 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the
           third hour of the day.

44:002:016 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

44:002:017 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will
           pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your
           daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see
           visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

44:002:018 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in
           those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

44:002:019 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the
           earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

44:002:020 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
           blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

44:002:021 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the
           name of the Lord shall be saved.

44:002:022 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man
           approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,
           which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves
           also know:

44:002:023 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
           foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have
           crucified and slain:

44:002:024 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death:
           because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

44:002:025 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always
           before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not
           be moved:

44:002:026 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad;
           moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

44:002:027 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou
           suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

44:002:028 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make
           me full of joy with thy countenance.

44:002:029 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the
           patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his
           sepulchre is with us unto this day.

44:002:030 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with
           an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to
           the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

44:002:031 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ,
           that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see
           corruption.

44:002:032 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

44:002:033 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having
           received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath
           shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

44:002:034 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith
           himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right
           hand,

44:002:035 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

44:002:036 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God
           hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord
           and Christ.

44:002:037 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart,
           and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and
           brethren, what shall we do?

44:002:038 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one
           of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
           and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

44:002:039 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all
           that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall
           call.

44:002:040 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying,
           Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

44:002:041 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the
           same day there were added unto them about three thousand
           souls.

44:002:042 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and
           fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

44:002:043 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were
           done by the apostles.

44:002:044 And all that believed were together, and had all things
           common;

44:002:045 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all
           men, as every man had need.

44:002:046 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and
           breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with
           gladness and singleness of heart,

44:002:047 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the
           Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

44:003:001 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the
           hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

44:003:002 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried,
           whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called
           Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

44:003:003 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an
           alms.

44:003:004 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look
           on us.

44:003:005 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of
           them.

44:003:006 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I
           have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise
           up and walk.

44:003:007 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and
           immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

44:003:008 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them
           into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

44:003:009 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

44:003:010 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the
           Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder
           and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

44:003:011 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all
           the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called
           Solomon's, greatly wondering.

44:003:012 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of
           Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on
           us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this
           man to walk?

44:003:013 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our
           fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up,
           and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was
           determined to let him go.

44:003:014 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a
           murderer to be granted unto you;

44:003:015 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the
           dead; whereof we are witnesses.

44:003:016 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man
           strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him
           hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you
           all.

44:003:017 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as
           did also your rulers.

44:003:018 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of
           all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so
           fulfilled.

44:003:019 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be
           blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the
           presence of the Lord.

44:003:020 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto
           you:

44:003:021 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of
           all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy
           prophets since the world began.

44:003:022 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the
           Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto
           me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say
           unto you.

44:003:023 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not
           hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

44:003:024 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow
           after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these
           days.

44:003:025 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which
           God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy
           seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

44:003:026 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him
           to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his
           iniquities.

44:004:001 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the
           captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

44:004:002 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached
           through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

44:004:003 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the
           next day: for it was now eventide.

44:004:004 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the
           number of the men was about five thousand.

44:004:005 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and
           elders, and scribes,

44:004:006 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and
           Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high
           priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

44:004:007 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what
           power, or by what name, have ye done this?

44:004:008 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye
           rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

44:004:009 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the
           impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

44:004:010 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel,
           that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye
           crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth
           this man stand here before you whole.

44:004:011 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,
           which is become the head of the corner.

44:004:012 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
           other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
           saved.

44:004:013 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and
           perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they
           marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been
           with Jesus.

44:004:014 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them,
           they could say nothing against it.

44:004:015 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the
           council, they conferred among themselves,

44:004:016 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a
           notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them
           that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

44:004:017 But that it spread no further among the people, let us
           straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man
           in this name.

44:004:018 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all
           nor teach in the name of Jesus.

44:004:019 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be
           right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto
           God, judge ye.

44:004:020 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and
           heard.

44:004:021 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go,
           finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the
           people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

44:004:022 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of
           healing was shewed.

44:004:023 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported
           all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

44:004:024 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God
           with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made
           heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

44:004:025 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the
           heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

44:004:026 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered
           together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

44:004:027 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast
           anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles,
           and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

44:004:028 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined
           before to be done.

44:004:029 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy
           servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

44:004:030 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and
           wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

44:004:031 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were
           assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy
           Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

44:004:032 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and
           of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things
           which he possessed was his own; but they had all things
           common.

44:004:033 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the
           resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them
           all.

44:004:034 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as
           were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the
           prices of the things that were sold,

44:004:035 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was
           made unto every man according as he had need.

44:004:036 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which
           is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and
           of the country of Cyprus,

44:004:037 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at
           the apostles' feet.

44:005:001 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold
           a possession,

44:005:002 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to
           it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles'
           feet.

44:005:003 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to
           lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of
           the land?

44:005:004 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was
           sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived
           this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but
           unto God.

44:005:005 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the
           ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these
           things.

44:005:006 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out,
           and buried him.

44:005:007 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his
           wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

44:005:008 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land
           for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

44:005:009 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed
           together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of
           them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall
           carry thee out.

44:005:010 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the
           ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and,
           carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

44:005:011 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as
           heard these things.

44:005:012 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders
           wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord
           in Solomon's porch.

44:005:013 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the
           people magnified them.

44:005:014 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both
           of men and women.)

44:005:015 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets,
           and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the
           shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

44:005:016 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto
           Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with
           unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

44:005:017 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him,
           (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with
           indignation,

44:005:018 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the
           common prison.

44:005:019 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors,
           and brought them forth, and said,

44:005:020 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words
           of this life.

44:005:021 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early
           in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they
           that were with him, and called the council together, and all
           the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison
           to have them brought.

44:005:022 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison,
           they returned and told,

44:005:023 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and
           the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had
           opened, we found no man within.

44:005:024 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the
           chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them
           whereunto this would grow.

44:005:025 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye
           put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the
           people.

44:005:026 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them
           without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should
           have been stoned.

44:005:027 And when they had brought them, they set them before the
           council: and the high priest asked them,

44:005:028 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not
           teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with
           your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

44:005:029 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought
           to obey God rather than men.

44:005:030 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and
           hanged on a tree.

44:005:031 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a
           Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of
           sins.

44:005:032 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the
           Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

44:005:033 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took
           counsel to slay them.

44:005:034 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named
           Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the
           people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little
           space;

44:005:035 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves
           what ye intend to do as touching these men.

44:005:036 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be
           somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined
           themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him,
           were scattered, and brought to nought.

44:005:037 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the
           taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished;
           and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

44:005:038 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them
           alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will
           come to nought:

44:005:039 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be
           found even to fight against God.

44:005:040 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles,
           and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in
           the name of Jesus, and let them go.

44:005:041 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing
           that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

44:005:042 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not
           to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

44:006:001 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was
           multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against
           the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily
           ministration.

44:006:002 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto
           them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word
           of God, and serve tables.

44:006:003 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest
           report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint
           over this business.

44:006:004 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the
           ministry of the word.

44:006:005 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose
           Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and
           Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas,
           and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

44:006:006 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed,
           they laid their hands on them.

44:006:007 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples
           multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the
           priests were obedient to the faith.

44:006:008 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and
           miracles among the people.

44:006:009 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the
           synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians,
           and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

44:006:010 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by
           which he spake.

44:006:011 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak
           blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.

44:006:012 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the
           scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to
           the council,

44:006:013 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not
           to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the
           law:

44:006:014 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall
           destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses
           delivered us.

44:006:015 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him,
           saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

44:007:001 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?

44:007:002 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of
           glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in
           Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

44:007:003 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
           kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

44:007:004 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in
           Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed
           him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.

44:007:005 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to
           set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him
           for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he
           had no child.

44:007:006 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a
           strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage,
           and entreat them evil four hundred years.

44:007:007 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge,
           said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me
           in this place.

44:007:008 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham
           begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac
           begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.

44:007:009 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt:
           but God was with him,

44:007:010 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him
           favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and
           he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

44:007:011 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and
           Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no
           sustenance.

44:007:012 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out
           our fathers first.

44:007:013 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren;
           and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

44:007:014 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all
           his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

44:007:015 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,

44:007:016 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre
           that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor
           the father of Sychem.

44:007:017 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had
           sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

44:007:018 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.

44:007:019 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated
           our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to
           the end they might not live.

44:007:020 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and
           nourished up in his father's house three months:

44:007:021 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and
           nourished him for her own son.

44:007:022 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and
           was mighty in words and in deeds.

44:007:023 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart
           to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

44:007:024 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and
           avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

44:007:025 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that
           God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

44:007:026 And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove,
           and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are
           brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?

44:007:027 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying,
           Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

44:007:028 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?

44:007:029 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land
           of Madian, where he begat two sons.

44:007:030 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in
           the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame
           of fire in a bush.

44:007:031 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew
           near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him,

44:007:032 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and
           the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled,
           and durst not behold.

44:007:033 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet:
           for the place where thou standest is holy ground.

44:007:034 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is
           in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to
           deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

44:007:035 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler
           and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a
           deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in
           the bush.

44:007:036 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and
           signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the
           wilderness forty years.

44:007:037 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A
           prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your
           brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

44:007:038 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the
           angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our
           fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

44:007:039 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them,
           and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

44:007:040 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for
           this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot
           not what is become of him.

44:007:041 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto
           the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

44:007:042 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of
           heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye
           house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and
           sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?

44:007:043 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your
           god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will
           carry you away beyond Babylon.

44:007:044 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness,
           as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make
           it according to the fashion that he had seen.

44:007:045 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus
           into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before
           the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

44:007:046 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle
           for the God of Jacob.

44:007:047 But Solomon built him an house.

44:007:048 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
           as saith the prophet,

44:007:049 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house
           will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my
           rest?

44:007:050 Hath not my hand made all these things?

44:007:051 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do
           always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

44:007:052 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and
           they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the
           Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and
           murderers:

44:007:053 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and
           have not kept it.

44:007:054 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and
           they gnashed on him with their teeth.

44:007:055 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly
           into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on
           the right hand of God,

44:007:056 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man
           standing on the right hand of God.

44:007:057 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears,
           and ran upon him with one accord,

44:007:058 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the
           witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose
           name was Saul.

44:007:059 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord
           Jesus, receive my spirit.

44:007:060 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay
           not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he
           fell asleep.

44:008:001 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there
           was a great persecution against the church which was at
           Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the
           regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

44:008:002 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great
           lamentation over him.

44:008:003 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every
           house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

44:008:004 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where
           preaching the word.

44:008:005 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached
           Christ unto them.

44:008:006 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things
           which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he
           did.

44:008:007 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many
           that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies,
           and that were lame, were healed.

44:008:008 And there was great joy in that city.

44:008:009 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in
           the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of
           Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

44:008:010 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest,
           saying, This man is the great power of God.

44:008:011 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had
           bewitched them with sorceries.

44:008:012 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning
           the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were
           baptized, both men and women.

44:008:013 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he
           continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles
           and signs which were done.

44:008:014 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that
           Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them
           Peter and John:

44:008:015 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they
           might receive the Holy Ghost:

44:008:016 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were
           baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

44:008:017 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy
           Ghost.

44:008:018 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles'
           hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

44:008:019 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay
           hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

44:008:020 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because
           thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with
           money.

44:008:021 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart
           is not right in the sight of God.

44:008:022 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if
           perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

44:008:023 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in
           the bond of iniquity.

44:008:024 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me,
           that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

44:008:025 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the
           Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many
           villages of the Samaritans.

44:008:026 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise,
           and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from
           Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

44:008:027 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an
           eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the
           Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had
           come to Jerusalem for to worship,

44:008:028 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the
           prophet.

44:008:029 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to
           this chariot.

44:008:030 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet
           Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

44:008:031 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And
           he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

44:008:032 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led
           as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his
           shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

44:008:033 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall
           declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

44:008:034 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom
           speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

44:008:035 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture,
           and preached unto him Jesus.

44:008:036 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water:
           and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me
           to be baptized?

44:008:037 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou
           mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ
           is the Son of God.

44:008:038 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went
           down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he
           baptized him.

44:008:039 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the
           Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and
           he went on his way rejoicing.

44:008:040 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he
           preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

44:009:001 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against
           the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

44:009:002 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that
           if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women,
           he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

44:009:003 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there
           shined round about him a light from heaven:

44:009:004 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him,
           Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

44:009:005 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus
           whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the
           pricks.

44:009:006 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou
           have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into
           the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

44:009:007 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing
           a voice, but seeing no man.

44:009:008 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened,
           he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him
           into Damascus.

44:009:009 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor
           drink.

44:009:010 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias;
           and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said,
           Behold, I am here, Lord.

44:009:011 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street
           which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas
           for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

44:009:012 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and
           putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

44:009:013 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man,
           how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

44:009:014 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all
           that call on thy name.

44:009:015 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen
           vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and
           kings, and the children of Israel:

44:009:016 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my
           name's sake.

44:009:017 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and
           putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even
           Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath
           sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled
           with the Holy Ghost.

44:009:018 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been
           scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was
           baptized.

44:009:019 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was
           Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

44:009:020 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he
           is the Son of God.

44:009:021 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he
           that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem,
           and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them
           bound unto the chief priests?

44:009:022 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the
           Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very
           Christ.

44:009:023 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel
           to kill him:

44:009:024 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the
           gates day and night to kill him.

44:009:025 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the
           wall in a basket.

44:009:026 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join
           himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and
           believed not that he was a disciple.

44:009:027 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and
           declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and
           that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at
           Damascus in the name of Jesus.

44:009:028 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.

44:009:029 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and
           disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay
           him.

44:009:030 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to
           Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

44:009:031 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee
           and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the
           Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

44:009:032 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters,
           he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

44:009:033 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept
           his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.

44:009:034 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee
           whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

44:009:035 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to
           the Lord.

44:009:036 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which
           by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of
           good works and almsdeeds which she did.

44:009:037 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and
           died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper
           chamber.

44:009:038 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples
           had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men,
           desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.

44:009:039 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they
           brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood
           by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which
           Dorcas made, while she was with them.

44:009:040 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed;
           and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she
           opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

44:009:041 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had
           called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

44:009:042 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in
           the Lord.

44:009:043 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with
           one Simon a tanner.

44:010:001 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a
           centurion of the band called the Italian band,

44:010:002 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house,
           which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

44:010:003 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day
           an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him,
           Cornelius.

44:010:004 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is
           it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are
           come up for a memorial before God.

44:010:005 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose
           surname is Peter:

44:010:006 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea
           side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

44:010:007 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he
           called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of
           them that waited on him continually;

44:010:008 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent
           them to Joppa.

44:010:009 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh
           unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about
           the sixth hour:

44:010:010 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while
           they made ready, he fell into a trance,

44:010:011 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon
           him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners,
           and let down to the earth:

44:010:012 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and
           wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

44:010:013 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

44:010:014 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing
           that is common or unclean.

44:010:015 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God
           hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

44:010:016 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again
           into heaven.

44:010:017 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he
           had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from
           Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before
           the gate,

44:010:018 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter,
           were lodged there.

44:010:019 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him,
           Behold, three men seek thee.

44:010:020 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting
           nothing: for I have sent them.

44:010:021 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from
           Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the
           cause wherefore ye are come?

44:010:022 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one
           that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of
           the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for
           thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

44:010:023 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow
           Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa
           accompanied him.

44:010:024 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius
           waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and
           near friends.

44:010:025 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down
           at his feet, and worshipped him.

44:010:026 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a
           man.

44:010:027 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that
           were come together.

44:010:028 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful
           thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto
           one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should
           not call any man common or unclean.

44:010:029 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was
           sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

44:010:030 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this
           hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold,
           a man stood before me in bright clothing,

44:010:031 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are
           had in remembrance in the sight of God.

44:010:032 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname
           is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by
           the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

44:010:033 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done
           that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present
           before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

44:010:034 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive
           that God is no respecter of persons:

44:010:035 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh
           righteousness, is accepted with him.

44:010:036 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching
           peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

44:010:037 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all
           Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John
           preached;

44:010:038 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
           with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that
           were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

44:010:039 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the
           land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged
           on a tree:

44:010:040 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

44:010:041 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God,
           even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from
           the dead.

44:010:042 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify
           that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of
           quick and dead.

44:010:043 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name
           whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

44:010:044 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all
           them which heard the word.

44:010:045 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished,
           as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also
           was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

44:010:046 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then
           answered Peter,

44:010:047 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized,
           which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

44:010:048 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.
           Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

44:011:001 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that
           the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

44:011:002 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the
           circumcision contended with him,

44:011:003 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat
           with them.

44:011:004 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and
           expounded it by order unto them, saying,

44:011:005 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a
           vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great
           sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even
           to me:

44:011:006 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered,
           and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and
           creeping things, and fowls of the air.

44:011:007 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and
           eat.

44:011:008 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath
           at any time entered into my mouth.

44:011:009 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath
           cleansed, that call not thou common.

44:011:010 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again
           into heaven.

44:011:011 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come
           unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

44:011:012 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting.
           Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered
           into the man's house:

44:011:013 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which
           stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for
           Simon, whose surname is Peter;

44:011:014 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house
           shall be saved.

44:011:015 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us
           at the beginning.

44:011:016 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John
           indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the
           Holy Ghost.

44:011:017 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto
           us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I
           could withstand God?

44:011:018 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and
           glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles
           granted repentance unto life.

44:011:019 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that
           arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus,
           and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews
           only.

44:011:020 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when
           they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching
           the LORD Jesus.

44:011:021 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number
           believed, and turned unto the Lord.

44:011:022 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church
           which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he
           should go as far as Antioch.

44:011:023 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad,
           and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would
           cleave unto the Lord.

44:011:024 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of
           faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

44:011:025 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

44:011:026 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it
           came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with
           the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were
           called Christians first in Antioch.

44:011:027 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

44:011:028 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by
           the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all
           the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

44:011:029 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability,
           determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in
           Judaea:

44:011:030 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of
           Barnabas and Saul.

44:012:001 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands
           to vex certain of the church.

44:012:002 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

44:012:003 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further
           to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

44:012:004 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and
           delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him;
           intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

44:012:005 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made
           without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

44:012:006 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night
           Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two
           chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

44:012:007 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light
           shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and
           raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell
           off from his hands.

44:012:008 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy
           sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy
           garment about thee, and follow me.

44:012:009 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was
           true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

44:012:010 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came
           unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to
           them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on
           through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

44:012:011 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a
           surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered
           me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of
           the people of the Jews.

44:012:012 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of
           Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many
           were gathered together praying.

44:012:013 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to
           hearken, named Rhoda.

44:012:014 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for
           gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the
           gate.

44:012:015 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly
           affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.

44:012:016 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the
           door, and saw him, they were astonished.

44:012:017 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace,
           declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the
           prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to
           the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.

44:012:018 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the
           soldiers, what was become of Peter.

44:012:019 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he
           examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to
           death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there
           abode.

44:012:020 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon:
           but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus
           the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because
           their country was nourished by the king's country.

44:012:021 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon
           his throne, and made an oration unto them.

44:012:022 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god,
           and not of a man.

44:012:023 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he
           gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up
           the ghost.

44:012:024 But the word of God grew and multiplied.

44:012:025 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had
           fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose
           surname was Mark.

44:013:001 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain
           prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called
           Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been
           brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

44:013:002 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost
           said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I
           have called them.

44:013:003 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on
           them, they sent them away.

44:013:004 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto
           Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

44:013:005 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God
           in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their
           minister.

44:013:006 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they
           found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name
           was Barjesus:

44:013:007 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a
           prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to
           hear the word of God.

44:013:008 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation)
           withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the
           faith.

44:013:009 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy
           Ghost, set his eyes on him.

44:013:010 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child
           of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not
           cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

44:013:011 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou
           shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And
           immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he
           went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

44:013:012 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being
           astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

44:013:013 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to
           Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to
           Jerusalem.

44:013:014 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in
           Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and
           sat down.

44:013:015 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers
           of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren,
           if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

44:013:016 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of
           Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

44:013:017 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and
           exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of
           Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

44:013:018 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in
           the wilderness.

44:013:019 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of
           Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

44:013:020 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of
           four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

44:013:021 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul
           the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space
           of forty years.

44:013:022 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to
           be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said,
           I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own
           heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

44:013:023 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised
           unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

44:013:024 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of
           repentance to all the people of Israel.

44:013:025 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that
           I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me,
           whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

44:013:026 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and
           whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this
           salvation sent.

44:013:027 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because
           they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which
           are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in
           condemning him.

44:013:028 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired
           they Pilate that he should be slain.

44:013:029 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they
           took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

44:013:030 But God raised him from the dead:

44:013:031 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from
           Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

44:013:032 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise
           which was made unto the fathers,

44:013:033 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he
           hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the
           second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

44:013:034 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no
           more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will
           give you the sure mercies of David.

44:013:035 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not
           suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

44:013:036 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will
           of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw
           corruption:

44:013:037 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

44:013:038 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through
           this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

44:013:039 And by him all that believe are justified from all things,
           from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

44:013:040 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of
           in the prophets;

44:013:041 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a
           work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe,
           though a man declare it unto you.

44:013:042 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles
           besought that these words might be preached to them the next
           sabbath.

44:013:043 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and
           religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking
           to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

44:013:044 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together
           to hear the word of God.

44:013:045 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with
           envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by
           Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

44:013:046 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary
           that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but
           seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of
           everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

44:013:047 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to
           be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for
           salvation unto the ends of the earth.

44:013:048 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and
           glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained
           to eternal life believed.

44:013:049 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the
           region.

44:013:050 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and
           the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul
           and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

44:013:051 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and
           came unto Iconium.

44:013:052 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy
           Ghost.

44:014:001 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together
           into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great
           multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.

44:014:002 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made
           their minds evil affected against the brethren.

44:014:003 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord,
           which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted
           signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

44:014:004 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with
           the Jews, and part with the apostles.

44:014:005 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and
           also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully,
           and to stone them,

44:014:006 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities
           of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

44:014:007 And there they preached the gospel.

44:014:008 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet,
           being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:

44:014:009 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and
           perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

44:014:010 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he
           leaped and walked.

44:014:011 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up
           their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are
           come down to us in the likeness of men.

44:014:012 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius,
           because he was the chief speaker.

44:014:013 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city,
           brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done
           sacrifice with the people.

44:014:014 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they
           rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

44:014:015 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of
           like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should
           turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made
           heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are
           therein:

44:014:016 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own
           ways.

44:014:017 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he
           did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons,
           filling our hearts with food and gladness.

44:014:018 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that
           they had not done sacrifice unto them.

44:014:019 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium,
           who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out
           of the city, supposing he had been dead.

44:014:020 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up,
           and came into the city: and the next day he departed with
           Barnabas to Derbe.

44:014:021 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had
           taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium,
           and Antioch,

44:014:022 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to
           continue in the faith, and that we must through much
           tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

44:014:023 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and
           had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on
           whom they believed.

44:014:024 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to
           Pamphylia.

44:014:025 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down
           into Attalia:

44:014:026 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been
           recommended to the grace of God for the work which they
           fulfilled.

44:014:027 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together,
           they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had
           opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

44:014:028 And there they abode long time with the disciples.

44:015:001 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the
           brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner
           of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

44:015:002 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and
           disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas,
           and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the
           apostles and elders about this question.

44:015:003 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed
           through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the
           Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

44:015:004 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of
           the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared
           all things that God had done with them.

44:015:005 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which
           believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and
           to command them to keep the law of Moses.

44:015:006 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of
           this matter.

44:015:007 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and
           said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good
           while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my
           mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

44:015:008 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving
           them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

44:015:009 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their
           hearts by faith.

44:015:010 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of
           the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to
           bear?

44:015:011 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ
           we shall be saved, even as they.

44:015:012 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to
           Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had
           wrought among the Gentiles by them.

44:015:013 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying,
           Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

44:015:014 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the
           Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

44:015:015 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

44:015:016 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle
           of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the
           ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

44:015:017 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the
           Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who
           doeth all these things.

44:015:018 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the
           world.

44:015:019 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from
           among the Gentiles are turned to God:

44:015:020 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions
           of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and
           from blood.

44:015:021 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him,
           being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

44:015:022 Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church,
           to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul
           and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief
           men among the brethren:

44:015:023 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles
           and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which
           are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.

44:015:024 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from
           us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls,
           saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we
           gave no such commandment:

44:015:025 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to
           send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

44:015:026 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord
           Jesus Christ.

44:015:027 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell
           you the same things by mouth.

44:015:028 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon
           you no greater burden than these necessary things;

44:015:029 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood,
           and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if
           ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

44:015:030 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when
           they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the
           epistle:

44:015:031 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

44:015:032 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted
           the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

44:015:033 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in
           peace from the brethren unto the apostles.

44:015:034 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

44:015:035 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and
           preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

44:015:036 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again
           and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached
           the word of the LORD, and see how they do.

44:015:037 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname
           was Mark.

44:015:038 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed
           from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

44:015:039 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they
           departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took
           Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;

44:015:040 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the
           brethren unto the grace of God.

44:015:041 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the
           churches.

44:016:001 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain
           disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain
           woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a
           Greek:

44:016:002 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra
           and Iconium.

44:016:003 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and
           circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those
           quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

44:016:004 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the
           decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and
           elders which were at Jerusalem.

44:016:005 And so were the churches established in the faith, and
           increased in number daily.

44:016:006 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of
           Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the
           word in Asia,

44:016:007 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into
           Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.

44:016:008 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

44:016:009 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man
           of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into
           Macedonia, and help us.

44:016:010 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured
           to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had
           called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

44:016:011 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course
           to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

44:016:012 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that
           part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city
           abiding certain days.

44:016:013 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side,
           where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake
           unto the women which resorted thither.

44:016:014 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the
           city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart
           the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were
           spoken of Paul.

44:016:015 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us,
           saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come
           into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.

44:016:016 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel
           possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought
           her masters much gain by soothsaying:

44:016:017 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men
           are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the
           way of salvation.

44:016:018 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned
           and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus
           Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

44:016:019 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was
           gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the
           marketplace unto the rulers,

44:016:020 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being
           Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

44:016:021 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive,
           neither to observe, being Romans.

44:016:022 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the
           magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat
           them.

44:016:023 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them
           into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

44:016:024 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner
           prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

44:016:025 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto
           God: and the prisoners heard them.

44:016:026 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the
           foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the
           doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

44:016:027 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and
           seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would
           have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been
           fled.

44:016:028 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm:
           for we are all here.

44:016:029 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling,
           and fell down before Paul and Silas,

44:016:030 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be
           saved?

44:016:031 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou
           shalt be saved, and thy house.

44:016:032 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that
           were in his house.

44:016:033 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their
           stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

44:016:034 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat
           before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his
           house.

44:016:035 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants,
           saying, Let those men go.

44:016:036 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The
           magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and
           go in peace.

44:016:037 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly
           uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and
           now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them
           come themselves and fetch us out.

44:016:038 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and
           they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

44:016:039 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and
           desired them to depart out of the city.

44:016:040 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of
           Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted
           them, and departed.

44:017:001 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia,
           they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:

44:017:002 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three
           sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

44:017:003 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered,
           and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I
           preach unto you, is Christ.

44:017:004 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas;
           and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief
           women not a few.

44:017:005 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto
           them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a
           company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the
           house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

44:017:006 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain
           brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have
           turned the world upside down are come hither also;

44:017:007 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the
           decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one
           Jesus.

44:017:008 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when
           they heard these things.

44:017:009 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other,
           they let them go.

44:017:010 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night
           unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the
           Jews.

44:017:011 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they
           received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the
           scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

44:017:012 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women
           which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

44:017:013 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word
           of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also,
           and stirred up the people.

44:017:014 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it
           were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.

44:017:015 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and
           receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come
           to him with all speed, they departed.

44:017:016 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was
           stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

44:017:017 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with
           the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met
           with him.

44:017:018 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the
           Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this
           babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of
           strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the
           resurrection.

44:017:019 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May
           we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?

44:017:020 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would
           know therefore what these things mean.

44:017:021 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent
           their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear
           some new thing.)

44:017:022 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men
           of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too
           superstitious.

44:017:023 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an
           altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom
           therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

44:017:024 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he
           is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with
           hands;

44:017:025 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed
           any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all
           things;

44:017:026 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on
           all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times
           before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

44:017:027 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after
           him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

44:017:028 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain
           also of your own poets have said, For we are also his
           offspring.

44:017:029 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to
           think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone,
           graven by art and man's device.

44:017:030 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now
           commandeth all men every where to repent:

44:017:031 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge
           the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained;
           whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath
           raised him from the dead.

44:017:032 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some
           mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this
           matter.

44:017:033 So Paul departed from among them.

44:017:034 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the
           which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris,
           and others with them.

44:018:001 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to
           Corinth;

44:018:002 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately
           come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that
           Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came
           unto them.

44:018:003 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and
           wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

44:018:004 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded
           the Jews and the Greeks.

44:018:005 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul
           was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that
           Jesus was Christ.

44:018:006 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his
           raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own
           heads; I am clean; from henceforth I will go unto the
           Gentiles.

44:018:007 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's
           house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house
           joined hard to the synagogue.

44:018:008 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the
           Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing
           believed, and were baptized.

44:018:009 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not
           afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

44:018:010 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee:
           for I have much people in this city.

44:018:011 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the
           word of God among them.

44:018:012 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made
           insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to
           the judgment seat,

44:018:013 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to
           the law.

44:018:014 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said
           unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked
           lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

44:018:015 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law,
           look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.

44:018:016 And he drave them from the judgment seat.

44:018:017 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the
           synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio
           cared for none of those things.

44:018:018 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then
           took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria,
           and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in
           Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

44:018:019 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself
           entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

44:018:020 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he
           consented not;

44:018:021 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this
           feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto
           you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.

44:018:022 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted
           the church, he went down to Antioch.

44:018:023 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went
           over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order,
           strengthening all the disciples.

44:018:024 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an
           eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

44:018:025 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being
           fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the
           things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

44:018:026 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when
           Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and
           expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

44:018:027 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren
           wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he
           was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:

44:018:028 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly,
           shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

44:019:001 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul
           having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and
           finding certain disciples,

44:019:002 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye
           believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard
           whether there be any Holy Ghost.

44:019:003 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And
           they said, Unto John's baptism.

44:019:004 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of
           repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe
           on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

44:019:005 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the
           Lord Jesus.

44:019:006 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost
           came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

44:019:007 And all the men were about twelve.

44:019:008 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space
           of three months, disputing and persuading the things
           concerning the kingdom of God.

44:019:009 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake
           evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them,
           and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of
           one Tyrannus.

44:019:010 And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they
           which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both
           Jews and Greeks.

44:019:011 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

44:019:012 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs
           or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil
           spirits went out of them.

44:019:013 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them
           to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD
           Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

44:019:014 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of
           the priests, which did so.

44:019:015 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul
           I know; but who are ye?

44:019:016 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and
           overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled
           out of that house naked and wounded.

44:019:017 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at
           Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord
           Jesus was magnified.

44:019:018 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their
           deeds.

44:019:019 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books
           together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the
           price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

44:019:020 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

44:019:021 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit,
           when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to
           Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see
           Rome.

44:019:022 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto
           him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for
           a season.

44:019:023 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.

44:019:024 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made
           silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the
           craftsmen;

44:019:025 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation,
           and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

44:019:026 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but
           almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and
           turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which
           are made with hands:

44:019:027 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at
           nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana
           should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed,
           whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

44:019:028 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath,
           and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

44:019:029 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having
           caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's
           companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the
           theatre.

44:019:030 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the
           disciples suffered him not.

44:019:031 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent
           unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself
           into the theatre.

44:019:032 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the
           assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore
           they were come together.

44:019:033 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting
           him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would
           have made his defence unto the people.

44:019:034 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about
           the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the
           Ephesians.

44:019:035 And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye
           men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that
           the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess
           Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?

44:019:036 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye
           ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

44:019:037 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither
           robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.

44:019:038 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him,
           have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are
           deputies: let them implead one another.

44:019:039 But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall
           be determined in a lawful assembly.

44:019:040 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's
           uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of
           this concourse.

44:019:041 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

44:020:001 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the
           disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into
           Macedonia.

44:020:002 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much
           exhortation, he came into Greece,

44:020:003 And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for
           him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return
           through Macedonia.

44:020:004 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of
           the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of
           Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

44:020:005 These going before tarried for us at Troas.

44:020:006 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened
           bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we
           abode seven days.

44:020:007 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came
           together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to
           depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

44:020:008 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they
           were gathered together.

44:020:009 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus,
           being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long
           preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the
           third loft, and was taken up dead.

44:020:010 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said,
           Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

44:020:011 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and
           eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he
           departed.

44:020:012 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little
           comforted.

44:020:013 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there
           intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding
           himself to go afoot.

44:020:014 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to
           Mitylene.

44:020:015 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against
           Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at
           Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.

44:020:016 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would
           not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible
           for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

44:020:017 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of
           the church.

44:020:018 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know,
           from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I
           have been with you at all seasons,

44:020:019 Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many
           tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait
           of the Jews:

44:020:020 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but
           have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house
           to house,

44:020:021 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
           repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

44:020:022 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not
           knowing the things that shall befall me there:

44:020:023 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that
           bonds and afflictions abide me.

44:020:024 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear
           unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and
           the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to
           testify the gospel of the grace of God.

44:020:025 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone
           preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

44:020:026 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from
           the blood of all men.

44:020:027 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of
           God.

44:020:028 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock,
           over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed
           the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

44:020:029 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves
           enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

44:020:030 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse
           things, to draw away disciples after them.

44:020:031 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three
           years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

44:020:032 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of
           his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an
           inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

44:020:033 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

44:020:034 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto
           my necessities, and to them that were with me.

44:020:035 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought
           to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord
           Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to
           receive.

44:020:036 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with
           them all.

44:020:037 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed
           him,

44:020:038 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they
           should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the
           ship.

44:021:001 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and
           had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and
           the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

44:021:002 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard,
           and set forth.

44:021:003 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left
           hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the
           ship was to unlade her burden.

44:021:004 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said
           to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to
           Jerusalem.

44:021:005 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went
           our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and
           children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on
           the shore, and prayed.

44:021:006 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship;
           and they returned home again.

44:021:007 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to
           Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one
           day.

44:021:008 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and
           came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip
           the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with
           him.

44:021:009 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did
           prophesy.

44:021:010 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea
           a certain prophet, named Agabus.

44:021:011 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound
           his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost,
           So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this
           girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

44:021:012 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that
           place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

44:021:013 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine
           heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at
           Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

44:021:014 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The
           will of the Lord be done.

44:021:015 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to
           Jerusalem.

44:021:016 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea,
           and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple,
           with whom we should lodge.

44:021:017 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us
           gladly.

44:021:018 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all
           the elders were present.

44:021:019 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what
           things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

44:021:020 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto
           him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are
           which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

44:021:021 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews
           which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that
           they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk
           after the customs.

44:021:022 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together:
           for they will hear that thou art come.

44:021:023 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which
           have a vow on them;

44:021:024 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges
           with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know
           that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee,
           are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and
           keepest the law.

44:021:025 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and
           concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they
           keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood,
           and from strangled, and from fornication.

44:021:026 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself
           with them entered into the temple, to signify the
           accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an
           offering should be offered for every one of them.

44:021:027 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were
           of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the
           people, and laid hands on him,

44:021:028 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that
           teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law,
           and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the
           temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

44:021:029 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an
           Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the
           temple.)

44:021:030 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and
           they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith
           the doors were shut.

44:021:031 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the
           chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an
           uproar.

44:021:032 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down
           unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the
           soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

44:021:033 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded
           him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and
           what he had done.

44:021:034 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude:
           and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he
           commanded him to be carried into the castle.

44:021:035 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne
           of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

44:021:036 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away
           with him.

44:021:037 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the
           chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou
           speak Greek?

44:021:038 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an
           uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men
           that were murderers?

44:021:039 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in
           Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee,
           suffer me to speak unto the people.

44:021:040 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs,
           and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was
           made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue,
           saying,

44:022:001 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make
           now unto you.

44:022:002 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to
           them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

44:022:003 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in
           Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel,
           and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the
           fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

44:022:004 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and
           delivering into prisons both men and women.

44:022:005 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the
           estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto
           the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were
           there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.

44:022:006 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come
           nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from
           heaven a great light round about me.

44:022:007 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me,
           Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

44:022:008 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am
           Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

44:022:009 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were
           afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

44:022:010 And I said, What shall I do, LORD? And the Lord said unto me,
           Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee
           of all things which are appointed for thee to do.

44:022:011 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being
           led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into
           Damascus.

44:022:012 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a
           good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,

44:022:013 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul,
           receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.

44:022:014 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that
           thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and
           shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.

44:022:015 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast
           seen and heard.

44:022:016 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash
           away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

44:022:017 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem,
           even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;

44:022:018 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly
           out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony
           concerning me.

44:022:019 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in
           every synagogue them that believed on thee:

44:022:020 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was
           standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the
           raiment of them that slew him.

44:022:021 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence
           unto the Gentiles.

44:022:022 And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up
           their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the
           earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

44:022:023 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw
           dust into the air,

44:022:024 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle,
           and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he
           might know wherefore they cried so against him.

44:022:025 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the
           centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man
           that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

44:022:026 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief
           captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a
           Roman.

44:022:027 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art
           thou a Roman? He said, Yea.

44:022:028 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I
           this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.

44:022:029 Then straightway they departed from him which should have
           examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he
           knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

44:022:030 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty
           wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his
           bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council
           to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.

44:023:001 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and
           brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until
           this day.

44:023:002 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him
           to smite him on the mouth.

44:023:003 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited
           wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and
           commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

44:023:004 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?

44:023:005 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high
           priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the
           ruler of thy people.

44:023:006 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and
           the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and
           brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope
           and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

44:023:007 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the
           Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.

44:023:008 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither
           angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.

44:023:009 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the
           Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in
           this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let
           us not fight against God.

44:023:010 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain,
           fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them,
           commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force
           from among them, and to bring him into the castle.

44:023:011 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of
           good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in
           Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

44:023:012 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and
           bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither
           eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

44:023:013 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.

44:023:014 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We
           have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat
           nothing until we have slain Paul.

44:023:015 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain
           that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would
           enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or
           ever he come near, are ready to kill him.

44:023:016 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he
           went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.

44:023:017 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said,
           Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a
           certain thing to tell him.

44:023:018 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and
           said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to
           bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto
           thee.

44:023:019 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him
           aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell
           me?

44:023:020 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou
           wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though
           they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.

44:023:021 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him
           of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with
           an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have
           killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from
           thee.

44:023:022 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and
           charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these
           things to me.

44:023:023 And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two
           hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore
           and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the
           night;

44:023:024 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring
           him safe unto Felix the governor.

44:023:025 And he wrote a letter after this manner:

44:023:026 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth
           greeting.

44:023:027 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of
           them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having
           understood that he was a Roman.

44:023:028 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused
           him, I brought him forth into their council:

44:023:029 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but
           to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of
           bonds.

44:023:030 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the
           man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his
           accusers also to say before thee what they had against him.
           Farewell.

44:023:031 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and
           brought him by night to Antipatris.

44:023:032 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and
           returned to the castle:

44:023:033 Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to
           the governor, presented Paul also before him.

44:023:034 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what
           province he was. And when he understood that he was of
           Cilicia;

44:023:035 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come.
           And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.

44:024:001 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the
           elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who
           informed the governor against Paul.

44:024:002 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him,
           saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that
           very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,

44:024:003 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with
           all thankfulness.

44:024:004 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I
           pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few
           words.

44:024:005 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of
           sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a
           ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:

44:024:006 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took,
           and would have judged according to our law.

44:024:007 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great
           violence took him away out of our hands,

44:024:008 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of
           whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things,
           whereof we accuse him.

44:024:009 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.

44:024:010 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to
           speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of
           many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully
           answer for myself:

44:024:011 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but
           twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.

44:024:012 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any
           man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues,
           nor in the city:

44:024:013 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.

44:024:014 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they
           call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all
           things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

44:024:015 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow,
           that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the
           just and unjust.

44:024:016 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience
           void to offence toward God, and toward men.

44:024:017 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and
           offerings.

44:024:018 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the
           temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.

44:024:019 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they
           had ought against me.

44:024:020 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil
           doing in me, while I stood before the council,

44:024:021 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among
           them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in
           question by you this day.

44:024:022 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect
           knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias
           the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost
           of your matter.

44:024:023 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have
           liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to
           minister or come unto him.

44:024:024 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife
           Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him
           concerning the faith in Christ.

44:024:025 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment
           to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this
           time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

44:024:026 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul,
           that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the
           oftener, and communed with him.

44:024:027 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and
           Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

44:025:001 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days
           he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

44:025:002 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him
           against Paul, and besought him,

44:025:003 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to
           Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

44:025:004 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and
           that he himself would depart shortly thither.

44:025:005 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down
           with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in
           him.

44:025:006 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went
           down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment
           seat commanded Paul to be brought.

44:025:007 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem
           stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints
           against Paul, which they could not prove.

44:025:008 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the
           Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have
           I offended any thing at all.

44:025:009 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul,
           and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of
           these things before me?

44:025:010 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I
           ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou
           very well knowest.

44:025:011 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of
           death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these
           things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto
           them. I appeal unto Caesar.

44:025:012 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered,
           Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.

44:025:013 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto
           Caesarea to salute Festus.

44:025:014 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's
           cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in
           bonds by Felix:

44:025:015 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the
           elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment
           against him.

44:025:016 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to
           deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have
           the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for
           himself concerning the crime laid against him.

44:025:017 Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on
           the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man
           to be brought forth.

44:025:018 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none
           accusation of such things as I supposed:

44:025:019 But had certain questions against him of their own
           superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul
           affirmed to be alive.

44:025:020 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him
           whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these
           matters.

44:025:021 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of
           Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to
           Caesar.

44:025:022 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man
           myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

44:025:023 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with
           great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with
           the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus'
           commandment Paul was brought forth.

44:025:024 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here
           present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude
           of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also
           here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

44:025:025 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of
           death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have
           determined to send him.

44:025:026 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord.
           Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially
           before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I
           might have somewhat to write.

44:025:027 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not
           withal to signify the crimes laid against him.

44:026:001 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for
           thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for
           himself:

44:026:002 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for
           myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I
           am accused of the Jews:

44:026:003 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and
           questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee
           to hear me patiently.

44:026:004 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among
           mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

44:026:005 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that
           after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a
           Pharisee.

44:026:006 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made
           of God, unto our fathers:

44:026:007 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God
           day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king
           Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

44:026:008 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God
           should raise the dead?

44:026:009 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things
           contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

44:026:010 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints
           did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the
           chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my
           voice against them.

44:026:011 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them
           to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I
           persecuted them even unto strange cities.

44:026:012 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission
           from the chief priests,

44:026:013 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above
           the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them
           which journeyed with me.

44:026:014 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice
           speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul,
           why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against
           the pricks.

44:026:015 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom
           thou persecutest.

44:026:016 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto
           thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness
           both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things
           in the which I will appear unto thee;

44:026:017 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto
           whom now I send thee,

44:026:018 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light,
           and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive
           forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are
           sanctified by faith that is in me.

44:026:019 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the
           heavenly vision:

44:026:020 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and
           throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles,
           that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for
           repentance.

44:026:021 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went
           about to kill me.

44:026:022 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this
           day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other
           things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should
           come:

44:026:023 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first
           that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the
           people, and to the Gentiles.

44:026:024 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud
           voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make
           thee mad.

44:026:025 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth
           the words of truth and soberness.

44:026:026 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak
           freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are
           hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

44:026:027 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou
           believest.

44:026:028 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a
           Christian.

44:026:029 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also
           all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether
           such as I am, except these bonds.

44:026:030 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the
           governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

44:026:031 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves,
           saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

44:026:032 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at
           liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

44:027:001 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy,
           they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named
           Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

44:027:002 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning
           to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian
           of Thessalonica, being with us.

44:027:003 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously
           entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to
           refresh himself.

44:027:004 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus,
           because the winds were contrary.

44:027:005 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia,
           we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

44:027:006 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing
           into Italy; and he put us therein.

44:027:007 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come
           over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed
           under Crete, over against Salmone;

44:027:008 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The
           fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

44:027:009 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now
           dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul
           admonished them,

44:027:010 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be
           with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship,
           but also of our lives.

44:027:011 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner
           of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

44:027:012 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the
           more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they
           might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an
           haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north
           west.

44:027:013 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had
           obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by
           Crete.

44:027:014 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind,
           called Euroclydon.

44:027:015 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the
           wind, we let her drive.

44:027:016 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we
           had much work to come by the boat:

44:027:017 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding
           the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the
           quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

44:027:018 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day
           they lightened the ship;

44:027:019 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling
           of the ship.

44:027:020 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no
           small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was
           then taken away.

44:027:021 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of
           them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and
           not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and
           loss.

44:027:022 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be
           no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.

44:027:023 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am,
           and whom I serve,

44:027:024 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar:
           and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

44:027:025 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it
           shall be even as it was told me.

44:027:026 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

44:027:027 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up
           and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they
           drew near to some country;

44:027:028 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had
           gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it
           fifteen fathoms.

44:027:029 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast
           four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

44:027:030 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when
           they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as
           though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,

44:027:031 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these
           abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

44:027:032 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her
           fall off.

44:027:033 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to
           take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have
           tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

44:027:034 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your
           health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any
           of you.

44:027:035 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to
           God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he
           began to eat.

44:027:036 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some
           meat.

44:027:037 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and
           sixteen souls.

44:027:038 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and
           cast out the wheat into the sea.

44:027:039 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they
           discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they
           were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

44:027:040 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed
           themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and
           hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

44:027:041 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship
           aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable,
           but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

44:027:042 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any
           of them should swim out, and escape.

44:027:043 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their
           purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast
           themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

44:027:044 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the
           ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to
           land.

44:028:001 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was
           called Melita.

44:028:002 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for
           they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the
           present rain, and because of the cold.

44:028:003 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them
           on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened
           on his hand.

44:028:004 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his
           hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a
           murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance
           suffereth not to live.

44:028:005 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

44:028:006 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen
           down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while,
           and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and
           said that he was a god.

44:028:007 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the
           island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us
           three days courteously.

44:028:008 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a
           fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and
           prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

44:028:009 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the
           island, came, and were healed:

44:028:010 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed,
           they laded us with such things as were necessary.

44:028:011 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria,
           which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and
           Pollux.

44:028:012 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

44:028:013 And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and
           after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to
           Puteoli:

44:028:014 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them
           seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

44:028:015 And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to
           meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom
           when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

44:028:016 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the
           prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered
           to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

44:028:017 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the
           chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together,
           he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed
           nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was
           I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the
           Romans.

44:028:018 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because
           there was no cause of death in me.

44:028:019 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to
           appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation
           of.

44:028:020 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you,
           and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I
           am bound with this chain.

44:028:021 And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of
           Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came
           shewed or spake any harm of thee.

44:028:022 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as
           concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken
           against.

44:028:023 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him
           into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the
           kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of
           the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till
           evening.

44:028:024 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some
           believed not.

44:028:025 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed,
           after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost
           by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

44:028:026 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear,
           and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not
           perceive:

44:028:027 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears
           are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest
           they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and
           understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I
           should heal them.

44:028:028 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is
           sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

44:028:029 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had
           great reasoning among themselves.

44:028:030 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and
           received all that came in unto him,

44:028:031 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which
           concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man
           forbidding him.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.

Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).

Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

Book 43        John

43:001:001 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
           the Word was God.

43:001:002 The same was in the beginning with God.

43:001:003 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
           made that was made.

43:001:004 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

43:001:005 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
           comprehended it not.

43:001:006 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

43:001:007 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light,
           that all men through him might believe.

43:001:008 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that
           Light.

43:001:009 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh
           into the world.

43:001:010 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the
           world knew him not.

43:001:011 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

43:001:012 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become
           the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

43:001:013 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
           nor of the will of man, but of God.

43:001:014 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
           beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
           Father,) full of grace and truth.

43:001:015 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of
           whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me:
           for he was before me.

43:001:016 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

43:001:017 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by
           Jesus Christ.

43:001:018 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which
           is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

43:001:019 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and
           Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

43:001:020 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the
           Christ.

43:001:021 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I
           am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

43:001:022 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an
           answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

43:001:023 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make
           straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

43:001:024 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

43:001:025 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou
           then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that
           prophet?

43:001:026 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there
           standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

43:001:027 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose
           shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

43:001:028 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John
           was baptizing.

43:001:029 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
           Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the
           world.

43:001:030 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is
           preferred before me: for he was before me.

43:001:031 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to
           Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

43:001:032 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from
           heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

43:001:033 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water,
           the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit
           descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which
           baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

43:001:034 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

43:001:035 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;

43:001:036 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb
           of God!

43:001:037 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed
           Jesus.

43:001:038 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto
           them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to
           say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

43:001:039 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he
           dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth
           hour.

43:001:040 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was
           Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

43:001:041 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We
           have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the
           Christ.

43:001:042 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he
           said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called
           Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

43:001:043 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and
           findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

43:001:044 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

43:001:045 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found
           him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write,
           Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

43:001:046 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out
           of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

43:001:047 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an
           Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

43:001:048 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus
           answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee,
           when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

43:001:049 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son
           of God; thou art the King of Israel.

43:001:050 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I
           saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see
           greater things than these.

43:001:051 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
           Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God
           ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

43:002:001 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and
           the mother of Jesus was there:

43:002:002 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

43:002:003 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him,
           They have no wine.

43:002:004 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine
           hour is not yet come.

43:002:005 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto
           you, do it.

43:002:006 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the
           manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three
           firkins apiece.

43:002:007 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they
           filled them up to the brim.

43:002:008 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the
           governor of the feast. And they bare it.

43:002:009 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made
           wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew
           the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the
           bridegroom,

43:002:010 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth
           good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is
           worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

43:002:011 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
           manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

43:002:012 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and
           his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not
           many days.

43:002:013 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to
           Jerusalem.

43:002:014 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and
           doves, and the changers of money sitting:

43:002:015 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them
           all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured
           out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

43:002:016 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence;
           make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

43:002:017 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of
           thine house hath eaten me up.

43:002:018 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest
           thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

43:002:019 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in
           three days I will raise it up.

43:002:020 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in
           building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

43:002:021 But he spake of the temple of his body.

43:002:022 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples
           remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed
           the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

43:002:023 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast
           day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles
           which he did.

43:002:024 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew
           all men,

43:002:025 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew
           what was in man.

43:003:001 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of
           the Jews:

43:003:002 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we
           know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do
           these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

43:003:003 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
           thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
           God.

43:003:004 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is
           old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and
           be born?

43:003:005 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
           be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
           kingdom of God.

43:003:006 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is
           born of the Spirit is spirit.

43:003:007 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

43:003:008 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound
           thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it
           goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

43:003:009 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

43:003:010 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel,
           and knowest not these things?

43:003:011 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and
           testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

43:003:012 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how
           shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

43:003:013 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down
           from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

43:003:014 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so
           must the Son of man be lifted up:

43:003:015 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
           eternal life.

43:003:016 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
           Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
           have everlasting life.

43:003:017 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
           but that the world through him might be saved.

43:003:018 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that
           believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not
           believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

43:003:019 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the
           world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their
           deeds were evil.

43:003:020 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh
           to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

43:003:021 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds
           may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

43:003:022 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land
           of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

43:003:023 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because
           there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

43:003:024 For John was not yet cast into prison.

43:003:025 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples
           and the Jews about purifying.

43:003:026 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was
           with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold,
           the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

43:003:027 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it
           be given him from heaven.

43:003:028 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the
           Christ, but that I am sent before him.

43:003:029 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of
           the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth
           greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy
           therefore is fulfilled.

43:003:030 He must increase, but I must decrease.

43:003:031 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the
           earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh
           from heaven is above all.

43:003:032 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no
           man receiveth his testimony.

43:003:033 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that
           God is true.

43:003:034 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God
           giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

43:003:035 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his
           hand.

43:003:036 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he
           that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath
           of God abideth on him.

43:004:001 When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that
           Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

43:004:002 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

43:004:003 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

43:004:004 And he must needs go through Samaria.

43:004:005 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar,
           near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son
           Joseph.

43:004:006 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied
           with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the
           sixth hour.

43:004:007 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith
           unto her, Give me to drink.

43:004:008 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

43:004:009 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou,
           being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria?
           for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

43:004:010 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of
           God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou
           wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee
           living water.

43:004:011 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with,
           and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living
           water?

43:004:012 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the
           well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his
           cattle?

43:004:013 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this
           water shall thirst again:

43:004:014 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him
           shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall
           be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

43:004:015 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I
           thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

43:004:016 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

43:004:017 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said
           unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

43:004:018 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is
           not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

43:004:019 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a
           prophet.

43:004:020 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in
           Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

43:004:021 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when
           ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem,
           worship the Father.

43:004:022 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for
           salvation is of the Jews.

43:004:023 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers
           shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the
           Father seeketh such to worship him.

43:004:024 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in
           spirit and in truth.

43:004:025 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is
           called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

43:004:026 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

43:004:027 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked
           with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why
           talkest thou with her?

43:004:028 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the
           city, and saith to the men,

43:004:029 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is
           not this the Christ?

43:004:030 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

43:004:031 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master,
           eat.

43:004:032 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

43:004:033 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man
           brought him ought to eat?

43:004:034 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that
           sent me, and to finish his work.

43:004:035 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh
           harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look
           on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

43:004:036 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto
           life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may
           rejoice together.

43:004:037 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another
           reapeth.

43:004:038 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other
           men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

43:004:039 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for
           the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that
           ever I did.

43:004:040 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him
           that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

43:004:041 And many more believed because of his own word;

43:004:042 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy
           saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is
           indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

43:004:043 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

43:004:044 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in
           his own country.

43:004:045 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received
           him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at
           the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

43:004:046 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the
           water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was
           sick at Capernaum.

43:004:047 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee,
           he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down,
           and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

43:004:048 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye
           will not believe.

43:004:049 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

43:004:050 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man
           believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went
           his way.

43:004:051 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told
           him, saying, Thy son liveth.

43:004:052 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And
           they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever
           left him.

43:004:053 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which
           Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and
           his whole house.

43:004:054 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was
           come out of Judaea into Galilee.

43:005:001 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
           Jerusalem.

43:005:002 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is
           called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

43:005:003 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind,
           halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

43:005:004 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and
           troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling
           of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease
           he had.

43:005:005 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and
           eight years.

43:005:006 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long
           time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

43:005:007 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the
           water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am
           coming, another steppeth down before me.

43:005:008 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

43:005:009 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed,
           and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

43:005:010 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the
           sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

43:005:011 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto
           me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

43:005:012 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee,
           Take up thy bed, and walk?

43:005:013 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had
           conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

43:005:014 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him,
           Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing
           come unto thee.

43:005:015 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which
           had made him whole.

43:005:016 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay
           him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

43:005:017 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I
           work.

43:005:018 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not
           only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his
           Father, making himself equal with God.

43:005:019 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
           unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth
           the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also
           doeth the Son likewise.

43:005:020 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that
           himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these,
           that ye may marvel.

43:005:021 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them;
           even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

43:005:022 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment
           unto the Son:

43:005:023 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the
           Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father
           which hath sent him.

43:005:024 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
           believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
           shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death
           unto life.

43:005:025 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now
           is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and
           they that hear shall live.

43:005:026 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to
           the Son to have life in himself;

43:005:027 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because
           he is the Son of man.

43:005:028 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all
           that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

43:005:029 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
           resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
           resurrection of damnation.

43:005:030 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
           judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the
           will of the Father which hath sent me.

43:005:031 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

43:005:032 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that
           the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

43:005:033 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

43:005:034 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say,
           that ye might be saved.

43:005:035 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for
           a season to rejoice in his light.

43:005:036 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works
           which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that
           I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

43:005:037 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness
           of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen
           his shape.

43:005:038 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath
           sent, him ye believe not.

43:005:039 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal
           life: and they are they which testify of me.

43:005:040 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

43:005:041 I receive not honour from men.

43:005:042 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43:005:043 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if
           another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

43:005:044 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and
           seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

43:005:045 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is
           one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

43:005:046 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he
           wrote of me.

43:005:047 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my
           words?

43:006:001 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which
           is the sea of Tiberias.

43:006:002 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his
           miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

43:006:003 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his
           disciples.

43:006:004 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

43:006:005 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company
           come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy
           bread, that these may eat?

43:006:006 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he
           would do.

43:006:007 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not
           sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

43:006:008 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith
           unto him,

43:006:009 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two
           small fishes: but what are they among so many?

43:006:010 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much
           grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five
           thousand.

43:006:011 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he
           distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that
           were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they
           would.

43:006:012 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up
           the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

43:006:013 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve
           baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which
           remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

43:006:014 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did,
           said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into
           the world.

43:006:015 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take
           him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a
           mountain himself alone.

43:006:016 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the
           sea,

43:006:017 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward
           Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to
           them.

43:006:018 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

43:006:019 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty
           furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh
           unto the ship: and they were afraid.

43:006:020 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

43:006:021 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and
           immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

43:006:022 The day following, when the people which stood on the other
           side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save
           that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus
           went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his
           disciples were gone away alone;

43:006:023 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the
           place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given
           thanks:)

43:006:024 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there,
           neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to
           Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

43:006:025 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they
           said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

43:006:026 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
           Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye
           did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

43:006:027 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat
           which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man
           shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

43:006:028 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work
           the works of God?

43:006:029 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God,
           that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

43:006:030 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then,
           that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

43:006:031 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He
           gave them bread from heaven to eat.

43:006:032 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
           Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father
           giveth you the true bread from heaven.

43:006:033 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and
           giveth life unto the world.

43:006:034 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

43:006:035 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that
           cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me
           shall never thirst.

43:006:036 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe
           not.

43:006:037 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
           cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

43:006:038 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the
           will of him that sent me.

43:006:039 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all
           which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise
           it up again at the last day.

43:006:040 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which
           seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting
           life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

43:006:041 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread
           which came down from heaven.

43:006:042 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose
           father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I
           came down from heaven?

43:006:043 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among
           yourselves.

43:006:044 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me
           draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

43:006:045 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of
           God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of
           the Father, cometh unto me.

43:006:046 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of
           God, he hath seen the Father.

43:006:047 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath
           everlasting life.

43:006:048 I am that bread of life.

43:006:049 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

43:006:050 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man
           may eat thereof, and not die.

43:006:051 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man
           eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that
           I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the
           world.

43:006:052 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can
           this man give us his flesh to eat?

43:006:053 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
           Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his
           blood, ye have no life in you.

43:006:054 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal
           life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

43:006:055 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

43:006:056 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in
           me, and I in him.

43:006:057 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father:
           so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

43:006:058 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your
           fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this
           bread shall live for ever.

43:006:059 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in
           Capernaum.

43:006:060 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this,
           said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

43:006:061 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it,
           he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

43:006:062 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was
           before?

43:006:063 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
           the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
           life.

43:006:064 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew
           from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who
           should betray him.

43:006:065 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come
           unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

43:006:066 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no
           more with him.

43:006:067 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

43:006:068 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou
           hast the words of eternal life.

43:006:069 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son
           of the living God.

43:006:070 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of
           you is a devil?

43:006:071 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was
           that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

43:007:001 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not
           walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

43:007:002 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.

43:007:003 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go
           into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that
           thou doest.

43:007:004 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he
           himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things,
           shew thyself to the world.

43:007:005 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

43:007:006 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your
           time is alway ready.

43:007:007 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify
           of it, that the works thereof are evil.

43:007:008 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for
           my time is not yet full come.

43:007:009 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in
           Galilee.

43:007:010 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto
           the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

43:007:011 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

43:007:012 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him:
           for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he
           deceiveth the people.

43:007:013 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

43:007:014 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the
           temple, and taught.

43:007:015 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters,
           having never learned?

43:007:016 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but
           his that sent me.

43:007:017 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,
           whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

43:007:018 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that
           seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no
           unrighteousness is in him.

43:007:019 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth
           the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

43:007:020 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth
           about to kill thee?

43:007:021 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and
           ye all marvel.

43:007:022 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is
           of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day
           circumcise a man.

43:007:023 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law
           of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I
           have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

43:007:024 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous
           judgment.

43:007:025 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they
           seek to kill?

43:007:026 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do
           the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

43:007:027 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh,
           no man knoweth whence he is.

43:007:028 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both
           know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself,
           but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

43:007:029 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

43:007:030 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him,
           because his hour was not yet come.

43:007:031 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ
           cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man
           hath done?

43:007:032 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things
           concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent
           officers to take him.

43:007:033 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you,
           and then I go unto him that sent me.

43:007:034 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am,
           thither ye cannot come.

43:007:035 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that
           we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the
           Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

43:007:036 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me,
           and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

43:007:037 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
           cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and
           drink.

43:007:038 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of
           his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

43:007:039 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on
           him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given;
           because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

43:007:040 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying,
           said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

43:007:041 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ
           come out of Galilee?

43:007:042 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of
           David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

43:007:043 So there was a division among the people because of him.

43:007:044 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands
           on him.

43:007:045 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and
           they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

43:007:046 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

43:007:047 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

43:007:048 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

43:007:049 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

43:007:050 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night,
           being one of them,)

43:007:051 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what
           he doeth?

43:007:052 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee?
           Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

43:007:053 And every man went unto his own house.

43:008:001 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

43:008:002 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and
           all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught
           them.

43:008:003 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken
           in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

43:008:004 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery,
           in the very act.

43:008:005 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned:
           but what sayest thou?

43:008:006 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse
           him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the
           ground, as though he heard them not.

43:008:007 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and
           said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him
           first cast a stone at her.

43:008:008 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

43:008:009 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own
           conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even
           unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman
           standing in the midst.

43:008:010 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman,
           he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath
           no man condemned thee?

43:008:011 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I
           condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

43:008:012 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of
           the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
           but shall have the light of life.

43:008:013 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of
           thyself; thy record is not true.

43:008:014 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of
           myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and
           whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I
           go.

43:008:015 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

43:008:016 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone,
           but I and the Father that sent me.

43:008:017 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men
           is true.

43:008:018 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent
           me beareth witness of me.

43:008:019 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered,
           Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye
           should have known my Father also.

43:008:020 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the
           temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet
           come.

43:008:021 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall
           seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot
           come.

43:008:022 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith,
           Whither I go, ye cannot come.

43:008:023 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above:
           ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

43:008:024 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for
           if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

43:008:025 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto
           them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

43:008:026 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that
           sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I
           have heard of him.

43:008:027 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

43:008:028 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of
           man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of
           myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

43:008:029 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me
           alone; for I do always those things that please him.

43:008:030 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

43:008:031 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye
           continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

43:008:032 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
           free.

43:008:033 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in
           bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

43:008:034 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
           committeth sin is the servant of sin.

43:008:035 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son
           abideth ever.

43:008:036 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free
           indeed.

43:008:037 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me,
           because my word hath no place in you.

43:008:038 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that
           which ye have seen with your father.

43:008:039 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus
           saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do
           the works of Abraham.

43:008:040 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the
           truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

43:008:041 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be
           not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

43:008:042 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love
           me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of
           myself, but he sent me.

43:008:043 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot
           hear my word.

43:008:044 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father
           ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode
           not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
           speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and
           the father of it.

43:008:045 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

43:008:046 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why
           do ye not believe me?

43:008:047 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them
           not, because ye are not of God.

43:008:048 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well
           that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

43:008:049 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father,
           and ye do dishonour me.

43:008:050 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and
           judgeth.

43:008:051 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he
           shall never see death.

43:008:052 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a
           devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If
           a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

43:008:053 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and
           the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

43:008:054 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it
           is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is
           your God:

43:008:055 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should
           say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I
           know him, and keep his saying.

43:008:056 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and
           was glad.

43:008:057 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old,
           and hast thou seen Abraham?

43:008:058 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before
           Abraham was, I am.

43:008:059 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid
           himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst
           of them, and so passed by.

43:009:001 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his
           birth.

43:009:002 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this
           man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

43:009:003 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents:
           but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

43:009:004 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:
           the night cometh, when no man can work.

43:009:005 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

43:009:006 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay
           of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with
           the clay,

43:009:007 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is
           by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and
           washed, and came seeing.

43:009:008 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him
           that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

43:009:009 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he
           said, I am he.

43:009:010 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

43:009:011 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay,
           and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of
           Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

43:009:012 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

43:009:013 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

43:009:014 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and
           opened his eyes.

43:009:015 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received
           his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and
           I washed, and do see.

43:009:016 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God,
           because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a
           man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a
           division among them.

43:009:017 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him,
           that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

43:009:018 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been
           blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents
           of him that had received his sight.

43:009:019 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was
           born blind? how then doth he now see?

43:009:020 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our
           son, and that he was born blind:

43:009:021 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath
           opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall
           speak for himself.

43:009:022 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews:
           for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess
           that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

43:009:023 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

43:009:024 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto
           him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

43:009:025 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know
           not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

43:009:026 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened
           he thine eyes?

43:009:027 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not
           hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his
           disciples?

43:009:028 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we
           are Moses' disciples.

43:009:029 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know
           not from whence he is.

43:009:030 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a
           marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet
           he hath opened mine eyes.

43:009:031 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a
           worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

43:009:032 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the
           eyes of one that was born blind.

43:009:033 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

43:009:034 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in
           sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

43:009:035 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found
           him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

43:009:036 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on
           him?

43:009:037 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he
           that talketh with thee.

43:009:038 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

43:009:039 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that
           they which see not might see; and that they which see might be
           made blind.

43:009:040 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these
           words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

43:009:041 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin:
           but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

43:010:001 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the
           door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the
           same is a thief and a robber.

43:010:002 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the
           sheep.

43:010:003 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and
           he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

43:010:004 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them,
           and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

43:010:005 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him:
           for they know not the voice of strangers.

43:010:006 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not
           what things they were which he spake unto them.

43:010:007 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto
           you, I am the door of the sheep.

43:010:008 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the
           sheep did not hear them.

43:010:009 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
           and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

43:010:010 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
           destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they
           might have it more abundantly.

43:010:011 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for
           the sheep.

43:010:012 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own
           the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the
           sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth
           the sheep.

43:010:013 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not
           for the sheep.

43:010:014 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of
           mine.

43:010:015 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay
           down my life for the sheep.

43:010:016 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also
           I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be
           one fold, and one shepherd.

43:010:017 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life,
           that I might take it again.

43:010:018 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have
           power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This
           commandment have I received of my Father.

43:010:019 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these
           sayings.

43:010:020 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear
           ye him?

43:010:021 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil.
           Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

43:010:022 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it
           was winter.

43:010:023 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

43:010:024 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How
           long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell
           us plainly.

43:010:025 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the
           works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

43:010:026 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said
           unto you.

43:010:027 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

43:010:028 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
           perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

43:010:029 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man
           is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

43:010:030 I and my Father are one.

43:010:031 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

43:010:032 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my
           Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

43:010:033 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee
           not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man,
           makest thyself God.

43:010:034 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye
           are gods?

43:010:035 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and
           the scripture cannot be broken;

43:010:036 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into
           the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of
           God?

43:010:037 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

43:010:038 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that
           ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in
           him.

43:010:039 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of
           their hand,

43:010:040 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at
           first baptized; and there he abode.

43:010:041 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but
           all things that John spake of this man were true.

43:010:042 And many believed on him there.

43:011:001 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the
           town of Mary and her sister Martha.

43:011:002 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and
           wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

43:011:003 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he
           whom thou lovest is sick.

43:011:004 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto
           death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be
           glorified thereby.

43:011:005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

43:011:006 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two
           days still in the same place where he was.

43:011:007 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into
           Judaea again.

43:011:008 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to
           stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

43:011:009 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any
           man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the
           light of this world.

43:011:010 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is
           no light in him.

43:011:011 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our
           friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of
           sleep.

43:011:012 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

43:011:013 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had
           spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

43:011:014 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

43:011:015 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the
           intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

43:011:016 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his
           fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

43:011:017 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave
           four days already.

43:011:018 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs
           off:

43:011:019 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them
           concerning their brother.

43:011:020 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went
           and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

43:011:021 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
           brother had not died.

43:011:022 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God,
           God will give it thee.

43:011:023 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

43:011:024 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
           resurrection at the last day.

43:011:025 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he
           that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

43:011:026 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
           Believest thou this?

43:011:027 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the
           Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

43:011:028 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary
           her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth
           for thee.

43:011:029 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto
           him.

43:011:030 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that
           place where Martha met him.

43:011:031 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted
           her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went
           out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep
           there.

43:011:032 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell
           down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been
           here, my brother had not died.

43:011:033 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also
           weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was
           troubled.

43:011:034 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord,
           come and see.

43:011:035 Jesus wept.

43:011:036 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

43:011:037 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the
           eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not
           have died?

43:011:038 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave.
           It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

43:011:039 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him
           that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh:
           for he hath been dead four days.

43:011:040 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou
           wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

43:011:041 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead
           was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I
           thank thee that thou hast heard me.

43:011:042 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the
           people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that
           thou hast sent me.

43:011:043 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
           Lazarus, come forth.

43:011:044 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with
           graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.
           Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

43:011:045 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the
           things which Jesus did, believed on him.

43:011:046 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told
           them what things Jesus had done.

43:011:047 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council,
           and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

43:011:048 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the
           Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

43:011:049 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that
           same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

43:011:050 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should
           die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

43:011:051 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that
           year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

43:011:052 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather
           together in one the children of God that were scattered
           abroad.

43:011:053 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put
           him to death.

43:011:054 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went
           thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city
           called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

43:011:055 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of
           the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
           themselves.

43:011:056 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as
           they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come
           to the feast?

43:011:057 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a
           commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should
           shew it, that they might take him.

43:012:001 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where
           Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the
           dead.

43:012:002 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus
           was one of them that sat at the table with him.

43:012:003 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly,
           and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her
           hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

43:012:004 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son,
           which should betray him,

43:012:005 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and
           given to the poor?

43:012:006 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he
           was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

43:012:007 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying
           hath she kept this.

43:012:008 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not
           always.

43:012:009 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and
           they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see
           Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

43:012:010 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus
           also to death;

43:012:011 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and
           believed on Jesus.

43:012:012 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when
           they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

43:012:013 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and
           cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in
           the name of the Lord.

43:012:014 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it
           is written,

43:012:015 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting
           on an ass's colt.

43:012:016 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but
           when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these
           things were written of him, and that they had done these
           things unto him.

43:012:017 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus
           out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

43:012:018 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard
           that he had done this miracle.

43:012:019 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how
           ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

43:012:020 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to
           worship at the feast:

43:012:021 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of
           Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

43:012:022 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip
           tell Jesus.

43:012:023 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the
           Son of man should be glorified.

43:012:024 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall
           into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it
           bringeth forth much fruit.

43:012:025 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his
           life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

43:012:026 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there
           shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my
           Father honour.

43:012:027 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me
           from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

43:012:028 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven,
           saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

43:012:029 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that
           it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

43:012:030 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me,
           but for your sakes.

43:012:031 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of
           this world be cast out.

43:012:032 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men
           unto me.

43:012:033 This he said, signifying what death he should die.

43:012:034 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that
           Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man
           must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

43:012:035 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light
           with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come
           upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither
           he goeth.

43:012:036 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the
           children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and
           did hide himself from them.

43:012:037 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they
           believed not on him:

43:012:038 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled,
           which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to
           whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

43:012:039 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said
           again,

43:012:040 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that
           they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their
           heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

43:012:041 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of
           him.

43:012:042 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him;
           but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest
           they should be put out of the synagogue:

43:012:043 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

43:012:044 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not
           on me, but on him that sent me.

43:012:045 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

43:012:046 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on
           me should not abide in darkness.

43:012:047 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him
           not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

43:012:048 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one
           that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall
           judge him in the last day.

43:012:049 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,
           he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should
           speak.

43:012:050 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
           whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me,
           so I speak.

43:013:001 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his
           hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the
           Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved
           them unto the end.

43:013:002 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the
           heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

43:013:003 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his
           hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

43:013:004 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a
           towel, and girded himself.

43:013:005 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash
           the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith
           he was girded.

43:013:006 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord,
           dost thou wash my feet?

43:013:007 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not
           now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

43:013:008 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus
           answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

43:013:009 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also
           my hands and my head.

43:013:010 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash
           his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not
           all.

43:013:011 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are
           not all clean.

43:013:012 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments,
           and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have
           done to you?

43:013:013 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

43:013:014 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye
           also ought to wash one another's feet.

43:013:015 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have
           done to you.

43:013:016 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater
           than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that
           sent him.

43:013:017 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

43:013:018 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that
           the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me
           hath lifted up his heel against me.

43:013:019 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass,
           ye may believe that I am he.

43:013:020 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I
           send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that
           sent me.

43:013:021 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and
           testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one
           of you shall betray me.

43:013:022 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he
           spake.

43:013:023 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples,
           whom Jesus loved.

43:013:024 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who
           it should be of whom he spake.

43:013:025 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is
           it?

43:013:026 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I
           have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to
           Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

43:013:027 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto
           him, That thou doest, do quickly.

43:013:028 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this
           unto him.

43:013:029 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that
           Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of
           against the feast; or, that he should give something to the
           poor.

43:013:030 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it
           was night.

43:013:031 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of
           man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

43:013:032 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in
           himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

43:013:033 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall
           seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot
           come; so now I say to you.

43:013:034 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another;
           as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

43:013:035 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye
           have love one to another.

43:013:036 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus
           answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but
           thou shalt follow me afterwards.

43:013:037 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I
           will lay down my life for thy sake.

43:013:038 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?
           Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till
           thou hast denied me thrice.

43:014:001 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe
           also in me.

43:014:002 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I
           would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

43:014:003 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,
           and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be
           also.

43:014:004 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

43:014:005 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
           and how can we know the way?

43:014:006 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
           no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

43:014:007 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and
           from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

43:014:008 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it
           sufficeth us.

43:014:009 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and
           yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath
           seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

43:014:010 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in
           me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but
           the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

43:014:011 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or
           else believe me for the very works' sake.

43:014:012 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the
           works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these
           shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

43:014:013 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that
           the Father may be glorified in the Son.

43:014:014 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

43:014:015 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

43:014:016 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
           Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

43:014:017 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
           because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know
           him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

43:014:018 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

43:014:019 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see
           me: because I live, ye shall live also.

43:014:020 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in
           me, and I in you.

43:014:021 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that
           loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
           and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

43:014:022 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou
           wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

43:014:023 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will
           keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come
           unto him, and make our abode with him.

43:014:024 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word
           which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

43:014:025 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with
           you.

43:014:026 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
           will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring
           all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
           you.

43:014:027 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the
           world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
           neither let it be afraid.

43:014:028 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again
           unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I
           go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

43:014:029 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it
           is come to pass, ye might believe.

43:014:030 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of
           this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

43:014:031 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the
           Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go
           hence.

43:015:001 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

43:015:002 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and
           every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may
           bring forth more fruit.

43:015:003 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto
           you.

43:015:004 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of
           itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye
           abide in me.

43:015:005 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and
           I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me
           ye can do nothing.

43:015:006 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is
           withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire,
           and they are burned.

43:015:007 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask
           what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

43:015:008 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so
           shall ye be my disciples.

43:015:009 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye
           in my love.

43:015:010 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as
           I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

43:015:011 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain
           in you, and that your joy might be full.

43:015:012 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have
           loved you.

43:015:013 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his
           life for his friends.

43:015:014 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

43:015:015 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth
           not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for
           all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known
           unto you.

43:015:016 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained
           you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your
           fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the
           Father in my name, he may give it you.

43:015:017 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

43:015:018 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it
           hated you.

43:015:019 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but
           because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of
           the world, therefore the world hateth you.

43:015:020 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not
           greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will
           also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will
           keep yours also.

43:015:021 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake,
           because they know not him that sent me.

43:015:022 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin:
           but now they have no cloak for their sin.

43:015:023 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

43:015:024 If I had not done among them the works which none other man
           did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and
           hated both me and my Father.

43:015:025 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that
           is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

43:015:026 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from
           the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from
           the Father, he shall testify of me:

43:015:027 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me
           from the beginning.

43:016:001 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be
           offended.

43:016:002 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time
           cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth
           God service.

43:016:003 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not
           known the Father, nor me.

43:016:004 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall
           come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these
           things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was
           with you.

43:016:005 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you
           asketh me, Whither goest thou?

43:016:006 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath
           filled your heart.

43:016:007 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you
           that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
           come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

43:016:008 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
           righteousness, and of judgment:

43:016:009 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

43:016:010 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no
           more;

43:016:011 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

43:016:012 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear
           them now.

43:016:013 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
           you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
           whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will
           shew you things to come.

43:016:014 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall
           shew it unto you.

43:016:015 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I,
           that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

43:016:016 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little
           while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

43:016:017 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this
           that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see
           me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and,
           Because I go to the Father?

43:016:018 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little
           while? we cannot tell what he saith.

43:016:019 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said
           unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A
           little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little
           while, and ye shall see me?

43:016:020 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament,
           but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but
           your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

43:016:021 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour
           is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she
           remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born
           into the world.

43:016:022 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again,
           and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from
           you.

43:016:023 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say
           unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he
           will give it you.

43:016:024 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall
           receive, that your joy may be full.

43:016:025 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time
           cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I
           shall shew you plainly of the Father.

43:016:026 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you,
           that I will pray the Father for you:

43:016:027 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me,
           and have believed that I came out from God.

43:016:028 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world:
           again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

43:016:029 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly,
           and speakest no proverb.

43:016:030 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not
           that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou
           camest forth from God.

43:016:031 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

43:016:032 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be
           scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and
           yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

43:016:033 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have
           peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good
           cheer; I have overcome the world.

43:017:001 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and
           said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son
           also may glorify thee:

43:017:002 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should
           give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

43:017:003 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only
           true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

43:017:004 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work
           which thou gavest me to do.

43:017:005 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with
           the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

43:017:006 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me
           out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me;
           and they have kept thy word.

43:017:007 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given
           me are of thee.

43:017:008 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and
           they have received them, and have known surely that I came out
           from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

43:017:009 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which
           thou hast given me; for they are thine.

43:017:010 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified
           in them.

43:017:011 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world,
           and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name
           those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we
           are.

43:017:012 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name:
           those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is
           lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be
           fulfilled.

43:017:013 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world,
           that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

43:017:014 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them,
           because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the
           world.

43:017:015 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but
           that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

43:017:016 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

43:017:017 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

43:017:018 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent
           them into the world.

43:017:019 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be
           sanctified through the truth.

43:017:020 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
           believe on me through their word;

43:017:021 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in
           thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may
           believe that thou hast sent me.

43:017:022 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that
           they may be one, even as we are one:

43:017:023 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in
           one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and
           hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

43:017:024 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be
           with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou
           hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of
           the world.

43:017:025 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have
           known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

43:017:026 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it:
           that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and
           I in them.

43:018:001 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his
           disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the
           which he entered, and his disciples.

43:018:002 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus
           ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

43:018:003 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from
           the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns
           and torches and weapons.

43:018:004 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him,
           went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

43:018:005 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I
           am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

43:018:006 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went
           backward, and fell to the ground.

43:018:007 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus
           of Nazareth.

43:018:008 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye
           seek me, let these go their way:

43:018:009 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them
           which thou gavest me have I lost none.

43:018:010 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high
           priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's
           name was Malchus.

43:018:011 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath:
           the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

43:018:012 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took
           Jesus, and bound him,

43:018:013 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to
           Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

43:018:014 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it
           was expedient that one man should die for the people.

43:018:015 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple:
           that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with
           Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

43:018:016 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other
           disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto
           her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

43:018:017 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not
           thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

43:018:018 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire
           of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and
           Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

43:018:019 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his
           doctrine.

43:018:020 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught
           in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always
           resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

43:018:021 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said
           unto them: behold, they know what I said.

43:018:022 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood
           by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest
           thou the high priest so?

43:018:023 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the
           evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

43:018:024 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

43:018:025 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore
           unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied
           it, and said, I am not.

43:018:026 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman
           whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the
           garden with him?

43:018:027 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

43:018:028 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment:
           and it was early; and they themselves went not into the
           judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they
           might eat the passover.

43:018:029 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation
           bring ye against this man?

43:018:030 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor,
           we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

43:018:031 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him
           according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is
           not lawful for us to put any man to death:

43:018:032 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake,
           signifying what death he should die.

43:018:033 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called
           Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

43:018:034 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did
           others tell it thee of me?

43:018:035 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief
           priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

43:018:036 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom
           were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I
           should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not
           from hence.

43:018:037 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus
           answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I
           born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should
           bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth
           heareth my voice.

43:018:038 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said
           this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I
           find in him no fault at all.

43:018:039 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at
           the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the
           King of the Jews?

43:018:040 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas.
           Now Barabbas was a robber.

43:019:001 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

43:019:002 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his
           head, and they put on him a purple robe,

43:019:003 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with
           their hands.

43:019:004 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them,
           Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find
           no fault in him.

43:019:005 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the
           purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

43:019:006 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they
           cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto
           them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in
           him.

43:019:007 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought
           to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

43:019:008 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more
           afraid;

43:019:009 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus,
           Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

43:019:010 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest
           thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to
           release thee?

43:019:011 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me,
           except it were given thee from above: therefore he that
           delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

43:019:012 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the
           Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not
           Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh
           against Caesar.

43:019:013 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus
           forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is
           called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

43:019:014 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the
           sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

43:019:015 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him.
           Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief
           priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

43:019:016 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And
           they took Jesus, and led him away.

43:019:017 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the
           place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

43:019:018 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either
           side one, and Jesus in the midst.

43:019:019 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the
           writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

43:019:020 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where
           Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written
           in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

43:019:021 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not,
           The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

43:019:022 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

43:019:023 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his
           garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and
           also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the
           top throughout.

43:019:024 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but
           cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might
           be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them,
           and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore
           the soldiers did.

43:019:025 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his
           mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary
           Magdalene.

43:019:026 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing
           by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy
           son!

43:019:027 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from
           that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

43:019:028 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
           accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I
           thirst.

43:019:029 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a
           spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his
           mouth.

43:019:030 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is
           finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

43:019:031 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the
           bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day,
           (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that
           their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

43:019:032 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and
           of the other which was crucified with him.

43:019:033 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already,
           they brake not his legs:

43:019:034 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and
           forthwith came there out blood and water.

43:019:035 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he
           knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

43:019:036 For these things were done, that the scripture should be
           fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

43:019:037 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom
           they pierced.

43:019:038 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of
           Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that
           he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him
           leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

43:019:039 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to
           Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
           about an hundred pound weight.

43:019:040 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen
           clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

43:019:041 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden;
           and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet
           laid.

43:019:042 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews'
           preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

43:020:001 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it
           was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken
           away from the sepulchre.

43:020:002 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other
           disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have
           taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not
           where they have laid him.

43:020:003 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came
           to the sepulchre.

43:020:004 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun
           Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

43:020:005 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes
           lying; yet went he not in.

43:020:006 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the
           sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

43:020:007 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the
           linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

43:020:008 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the
           sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

43:020:009 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise
           again from the dead.

43:020:010 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

43:020:011 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she
           wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

43:020:012 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head,
           and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

43:020:013 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto
           them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not
           where they have laid him.

43:020:014 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw
           Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

43:020:015 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest
           thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him,
           Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast
           laid him, and I will take him away.

43:020:016 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto
           him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

43:020:017 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended
           to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I
           ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and
           your God.

43:020:018 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen
           the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

43:020:019 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week,
           when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled
           for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and
           saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

43:020:020 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his
           side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.

43:020:021 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father
           hath sent me, even so send I you.

43:020:022 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto
           them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

43:020:023 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and
           whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

43:020:024 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with
           them when Jesus came.

43:020:025 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the
           LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands
           the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of
           the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not
           believe.

43:020:026 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and
           Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and
           stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

43:020:027 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold
           my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my
           side: and be not faithless, but believing.

43:020:028 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

43:020:029 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou
           hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet
           have believed.

43:020:030 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his
           disciples, which are not written in this book:

43:020:031 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the
           Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life
           through his name.

43:021:001 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples
           at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

43:021:002 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus,
           and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and
           two other of his disciples.

43:021:003 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto
           him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a
           ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

43:021:004 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore:
           but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

43:021:005 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They
           answered him, No.

43:021:006 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the
           ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they
           were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

43:021:007 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It
           is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,
           he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and
           did cast himself into the sea.

43:021:008 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were
           not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,)
           dragging the net with fishes.

43:021:009 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of
           coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

43:021:010 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now
           caught.

43:021:011 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great
           fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were
           so many, yet was not the net broken.

43:021:012 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the
           disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the
           Lord.

43:021:013 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish
           likewise.

43:021:014 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his
           disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

43:021:015 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son
           of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him,
           Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
           Feed my lambs.

43:021:016 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas,
           lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest
           that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

43:021:017 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
           thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third
           time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest
           all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto
           him, Feed my sheep.

43:021:018 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou
           girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when
           thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and
           another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest
           not.

43:021:019 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God.
           And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

43:021:020 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved
           following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and
           said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

43:021:021 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man
           do?

43:021:022 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come,
           what is that to thee? follow thou me.

43:021:023 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that
           disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall
           not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is
           that to thee?

43:021:024 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and
           wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

43:021:025 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the
           which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that
           even the world itself could not contain the books that should
           be written. Amen.

****** This file should be named bib4310h.htm or bib4310h.zip *******

Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks get a new NUMBER, bib4311h.htm
VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, bib4310ah.htm

This eBook was produced by David Widger
Additional credits are noted in the header.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.

Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).

Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03

Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90

Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
as it appears in our Newsletters.

Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):

is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.

Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).

Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03

Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90

Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
as it appears in our Newsletters.

Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):

donations from donors in these states who approach us with an offer to
donate.

International donations are accepted, but we don't know ANYTHING about
how to make them tax-deductible, or even if they CAN be made
deductible, and don't have the staff to handle it even if there are
ways.

**The Legal Small Print**

(Three Pages)

***START**THE SMALL PRINT!**FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN EBOOKS**START***
Why is this "Small Print!" statement here? You know: lawyers.
They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
your copy of this eBook, even if you got it for free from
someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
fault. So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how
you may distribute copies of this eBook if you want to.

*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS EBOOK
By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
eBook, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept
this "Small Print!" statement. If you do not, you can receive
a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this eBook by
sending a request within 30 days of receiving it to the person
you got it from. If you received this eBook on a physical
medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.

ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
distribute it in the United States without permission and
without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.

Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
any commercial products without permission.

To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
receive this eBook from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook) disclaims
all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

If you discover a Defect in this eBook within 90 days of
receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
time to the person you received it from. If you received it
on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
receive it electronically.

THIS EBOOK IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
TO THE EBOOK OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
may have other legal rights.

INDEMNITY
You will indemnify and hold Michael Hart, the Foundation,
and its trustees and agents, and any volunteers associated
with the production and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
texts harmless, from all liability, cost and expense, including
legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the
