John:13:1-17:26
nasb@John:13:1 @Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,
nasb@John:13:2 @even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.
nasb@John:13:3" @This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
nasb@John:13:4" @ I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.
nasb@John:13:5" @Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
nasb@John:13:6" @ I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
nasb@John:13:7" @Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;
nasb@John:13:8 @for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
nasb@John:13:9" @ I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;
nasb@John:13:10 @and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
nasb@John:13:11" @I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.
nasb@John:13:12" @While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
nasb@John:13:13" @But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.
nasb@John:13:14" @I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
nasb@John:13:15" @I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.
nasb@John:13:16" @ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
nasb@John:13:17" @ Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.
nasb@John:13:18" @As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
nasb@John:13:19" @For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
nasb@John:13:20" @I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;
nasb@John:13:21 @that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
nasb@John:13:22" @The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;
nasb@John:13:23 @I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
nasb@John:13:24" @Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
nasb@John:13:25" @O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;
nasb@John:13:26 @and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
nasb@John:14:1 @When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in which He entered with His disciples.
nasb@John:14:2 @Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
nasb@John:14:3 @Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
nasb@John:14:4 @So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and said to them, " Whom do you seek?"
nasb@John:14:5 @They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.
nasb@John:14:6 @So when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.
nasb@John:14:7 @Therefore He again asked them, " Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene."
nasb@John:14:8 @Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,"
nasb@John:14:9 @to fulfill the word which He spoke, " Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one."
nasb@John:14:10 @Simon Peter then, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave's name was Malchus.
nasb@John:14:11 @So Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?"
nasb@John:14:12 @So the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him,
nasb@John:14:13 @and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
nasb@John:14:14 @Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.
nasb@John:14:15 @Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest,
nasb@John:14:16 @but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
nasb@John:14:17 @Then the slave-girl who kept the door said to Peter, " You are not also one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."
nasb@John:14:18 @Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
nasb@John:14:19 @The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.
nasb@John:14:20 @Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.
nasb@John:14:21" @Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said."
nasb@John:14:22 @When He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, "Is that the way You answer the high priest?"
nasb@John:14:23 @Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?"
nasb@John:14:24 @So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
nasb@John:14:25 @Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, " You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."
nasb@John:14:26 @One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"
nasb@John:14:27 @Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
nasb@John:14:28 @Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
nasb@John:14:29 @Therefore Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?"
nasb@John:14:30 @They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you."
nasb@John:14:31 @So Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "We are not permitted to put anyone to death,"
nasb@John:14:32 @to fulfill the word of Jesus which He spoke, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.
nasb@John:14:33 @Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, " Are You the King of the Jews?"
nasb@John:14:34 @Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?"
nasb@John:14:35 @Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?"
nasb@John:14:36 @Jesus answered, " My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."
nasb@John:14:37 @Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, " You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
nasb@John:14:38 @Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, " I find no guilt in Him.
nasb@John:14:39" @ But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?"
nasb@John:14:40 @So they cried out again, saying, " Not this Man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
nasb@John:15:1 @Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him.
nasb@John:15:2 @And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him;
nasb@John:15:3 @and they began to come up to Him and say, " Hail, King of the Jews!" and to give Him slaps in the face.
nasb@John:15:4 @Pilate came out again and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him."
nasb@John:15:5 @Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the Man!"
nasb@John:15:6 @So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, "Crucify, crucify!" Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him."
nasb@John:15:7 @The Jews answered him, " We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God."
nasb@John:15:8 @Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;
nasb@John:15:9 @and he entered into the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
nasb@John:15:10 @So Pilate said to Him, "You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?"
nasb@John:15:11 @Jesus answered, " You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."
nasb@John:15:12 @As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, " If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar."
nasb@John:15:13 @Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
nasb@John:15:14 @Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"
nasb@John:15:15 @So they cried out, " Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
nasb@John:15:16 @So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.
nasb@John:15:17 @They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.
nasb@John:15:18 @There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.
nasb@John:15:19 @Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, " JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
nasb@John:15:20 @Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin and in Greek.
nasb@John:15:21 @So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, "Do not write, ' The King of the Jews'; but that He said, 'I am King of the Jews.'"
nasb@John:15:22 @Pilate answered, " What I have written I have written."
nasb@John:15:23 @Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece.
nasb@John:15:24 @So they said to one another, " Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; this was to fulfill the Scripture- "THEY DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS."
nasb@John:15:25 @Therefore the soldiers did these things. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
nasb@John:15:26 @When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, " Woman, behold, your son!"
nasb@John:15:27 @Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour the disciple took her into his own household.
nasb@John:15:28 @After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, " I am thirsty."
nasb@John:15:29 @A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.
nasb@John:15:30 @Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, " It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
nasb@John:15:31 @Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
nasb@John:15:32 @So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him;
nasb@John:15:33 @but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
nasb@John:15:34 @But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
nasb@John:15:35 @And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
nasb@John:15:36 @For these things came to pass to fulfill the Scripture, " NOT A BONE OF HIM SHALL BE BROKEN."
nasb@John:15:37 @And again another Scripture says, " THEY SHALL LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED."
nasb@John:15:38 @After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.
nasb@John:15:39 @Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.
nasb@John:15:40 @So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
nasb@John:15:41 @Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
nasb@John:15:42 @Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
nasb@John:16:1 @Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.
nasb@John:16:2 @So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, " They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."
nasb@John:16:3 @So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb.
nasb@John:16:4 @The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;
nasb@John:16:5 @and stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.
nasb@John:16:6 @And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there,
nasb@John:16:7 @and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.
nasb@John:16:8 @So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.
nasb@John:16:9 @For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.
nasb@John:16:10 @So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
nasb@John:16:11 @But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;
nasb@John:16:12 @and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying.
nasb@John:16:13 @And they said to her, " Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."
nasb@John:16:14 @When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.
nasb@John:16:15 @Jesus said to her, " Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away."
nasb@John:16:16 @Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, " Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).
nasb@John:16:17 @Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"
nasb@John:16:18 @Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her.
nasb@John:16:19 @So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, " Peace be with you."
nasb@John:16:20 @And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
nasb@John:16:21 @So Jesus said to them again, " Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
nasb@John:16:22 @And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
nasb@John:16:23" @ If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained."
nasb@John:16:24 @But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
nasb@John:16:25 @So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."
nasb@John:16:26 @After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, " Peace be with you."
nasb@John:16:27 @Then He said to Thomas, " Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing."
nasb@John:16:28 @Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"
nasb@John:16:29 @Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."
nasb@John:16:30 @Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
nasb@John:16:31 @but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.
nasb@John:17:1 @After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way.
nasb@John:17:2 @Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.
nasb@John:17:3 @Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will also come with you." They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.
nasb@John:17:4 @But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
nasb@John:17:5 @So Jesus said to them, "Children, you do not have any fish, do you?" They answered Him, "No."
nasb@John:17:6 @And He said to them, " Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch." So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.
nasb@John:17:7 @Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.
nasb@John:17:8 @But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.
nasb@John:17:9 @So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread.
nasb@John:17:10 @Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have now caught."
nasb@John:17:11 @Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.
nasb@John:17:12 @Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples ventured to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord.
nasb@John:17:13 @Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
nasb@John:17:14 @This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.
nasb@John:17:15 @So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My lambs."
nasb@John:17:16 @He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, " Shepherd My sheep."
nasb@John:17:17 @He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, " Tend My sheep.
nasb@John:17:18" @Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go."
nasb@John:17:19 @Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, " Follow Me!"
nasb@John:17:20 @Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"
nasb@John:17:21 @So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?"
nasb@John:17:22 @Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!"
nasb@John:17:23 @Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"
nasb@John:17:24 @This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
nasb@John:17:25 @And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.
nasb@Acts:1:1 @The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach,
nasb@Acts:1:2 @until the day when He was taken up to heaven, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen.
nasb@Acts:1:3 @To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.
nasb@Acts:1:4 @Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me;
nasb@Acts:1:5 @for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
nasb@Acts:1:6 @So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
nasb@Acts:1:7 @He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;
nasb@Acts:1:8 @but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."
nasb@Acts:1:9 @And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
nasb@Acts:1:10 @And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.
nasb@Acts:1:11 @They also said, " Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."
nasb@Acts:1:12 @Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
nasb@Acts:1:13 @When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
nasb@Acts:1:14 @These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
nasb@Acts:1:15 @At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together), and said,
nasb@Acts:1:16" @Brethren, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.
nasb@Acts:1:17" @For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry."
nasb@Acts:1:18 @(Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.
nasb@Acts:1:19 @And it became known to all who were living in Jerusalem; so that in their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
nasb@Acts:1:20" @For it is written in the book of Psalms, ' LET HIS HOMESTEAD BE MADE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE DWELL IN IT'; and, ' LET ANOTHER MAN TAKE HIS OFFICE.'
nasb@Acts:1:21" @Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us--
nasb@Acts:1:22 @beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us--one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."
nasb@Acts:1:23 @So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias.
nasb@Acts:1:24 @And they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen
nasb@Acts:1:25 @to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place."
nasb@Acts:1:26 @And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.
nasb@Acts:2:1 @When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
nasb@Acts:2:2 @And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
nasb@Acts:2:3 @And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.
nasb@Acts:2:4 @And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.
nasb@Acts:2:5 @Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.
nasb@Acts:2:6 @And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language.
nasb@Acts:2:7 @They were amazed and astonished, saying, "Why, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
nasb@Acts:2:8" @And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?
nasb@Acts:2:9" @Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
nasb@Acts:2:10 @Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
nasb@Acts:2:11 @Cretans and Arabs--we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God."
nasb@Acts:2:12 @And they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"
nasb@Acts:2:13 @But others were mocking and saying, " They are full of sweet wine."
nasb@Acts:2:14 @But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them- "Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words.
nasb@Acts:2:15" @For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day;
nasb@Acts:2:16 @but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel-
nasb@Acts:2:17 @' AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;
nasb@Acts:2:18 @EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT And they shall prophesy.
nasb@Acts:2:19 @'AND I WILL GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW, BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.
nasb@Acts:2:20 @'THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME.
nasb@Acts:2:21 @'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'
nasb@Acts:2:22" @Men of Israel, listen to these words- Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know--
nasb@Acts:2:23 @this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.
nasb@Acts:2:24" @But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.
nasb@Acts:2:25" @For David says of Him, ' I SAW THE LORD ALWAYS IN MY PRESENCE; FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN.
nasb@Acts:2:26 @'THEREFORE MY HEART WAS GLAD AND MY TONGUE EXULTED; MOREOVER MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE;
nasb@Acts:2:27 @BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT ABANDON MY SOUL TO HADES, NOR ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO UNDERGO DECAY.
nasb@Acts:2:28 @'YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE; YOU WILL MAKE ME FULL OF GLADNESS WITH YOUR PRESENCE.'
nasb@Acts:2:29" @Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
nasb@Acts:2:30" @And so, because he was a prophet and knew that GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH TO SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS ON HIS THRONE,
nasb@Acts:2:31 @he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh SUFFER DECAY.
nasb@Acts:2:32" @This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses.
nasb@Acts:2:33" @Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear.
nasb@Acts:2:34" @For it was not David who ascended into heaven, but he himself says- ' THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,
nasb@Acts:2:35 @UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET."'
nasb@Acts:2:36" @Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ--this Jesus whom you crucified."
nasb@Acts:2:37 @Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?"
nasb@Acts:2:38 @Peter said to them, " Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
nasb@Acts:2:39" @For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself."
nasb@Acts:2:40 @And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation!"
nasb@Acts:2:41 @So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.
nasb@Acts:2:42 @They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
nasb@Acts:2:43 @Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.
nasb@Acts:2:44 @And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common;
nasb@Acts:2:45 @and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.
nasb@Acts:2:46 @Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,
nasb@Acts:2:47 @praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.
nasb@Acts:3:1 @Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer.
nasb@Acts:3:2 @And a man who had been lame from his mother's womb was being carried along, whom they used to set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, in order to beg alms of those who were entering the temple.
nasb@Acts:3:3 @When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he began asking to receive alms.
nasb@Acts:3:4 @But Peter, along with John, fixed his gaze on him and said, "Look at us!"
nasb@Acts:3:5 @And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
nasb@Acts:3:6 @But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you- In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene--walk!"
nasb@Acts:3:7 @And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.
nasb@Acts:3:8 @With a leap he stood upright and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
nasb@Acts:3:9 @And all the people saw him walking and praising God;
nasb@Acts:3:10 @and they were taking note of him as being the one who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple to beg alms, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
nasb@Acts:3:11 @While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the so-called portico of Solomon, full of amazement.
nasb@Acts:3:12 @But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, "Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why do you gaze at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?
nasb@Acts:3:13" @ The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, the one whom you delivered and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him.
nasb@Acts:3:14" @But you disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
nasb@Acts:3:15 @but put to death the Prince of life, the one whom God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are witnesses.
nasb@Acts:3:16" @And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.
nasb@Acts:3:17" @And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers did also.
