:

They told her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”


:

When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.


:

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”


:

Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”


:

Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers, and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”


:

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.


:

When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”


:

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.


:

Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”


:

When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!


:

Whoever’s sins you forgive, they are forgiven them. Whoever’s sins you retain, they have been retained.”


:

But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.


:

The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”


:

After eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace be to you.”


:

Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”


:

Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”


:

Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.”


:

Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;


:

but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.


:

After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.


:

Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.


:

Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.


:

But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.


:

Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”


:

He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.


:

That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.


:

But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.


:

So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.


:

Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”


:

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.


:

Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.


:

Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.


:

This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.


:

So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”


:

He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”


:

He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.


:

Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you don’t want to go.”


:

Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”


:

Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”


:

Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”


:

Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”


:

This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”


:

This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.


:

There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.


:

The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,


:

until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.


:

To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God’s Kingdom.


:

Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.


:

For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”


:

Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”


:

He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.


:

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”


:

When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.


:

While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,


:

who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”


:

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.


:

When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.


:

All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.


:

In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,


:

“Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.


:

For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.


:

Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headlong, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.


:

It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’


:

For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell therein;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’


:

“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,


:

beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”


:

They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.


:

They prayed, and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen


:

to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”


:

They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.


:

Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.


:

Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.


:

Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.


:

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.


:

Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.


:

When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.


:

They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?


:

How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?


:

Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,


:

Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,


:

Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”


:

They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, “What does this mean?”


:

Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”


:

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.


:

For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.


:

But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:


:

It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.


:

Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.


:

I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.


:

The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.


:

It will be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’


:

“Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,


:

him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;


:

whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.


:

For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.


:

Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;


:

because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.


:

You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’


:

“Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.


:

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