Acts 11: 1- 18

11:1	Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
11:2	Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
11:3	saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
11:4	And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:
11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
11:6	And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
11:7	Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
11:8	But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’
11:9	Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’
11:10	Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.
11:11	And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
11:12	Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.
11:13	And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
11:14	And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’
11:15	And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
11:17	Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”
11:18	Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

John 10: 1- 10

10:1	“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2	But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3	To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4	And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5	But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6	Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7	Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8	All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9	I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10	The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

Acts 13: 14, 43- 52

13:14	Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
13:43	And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
13:44	Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
13:45	Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
13:46	Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
13:47	For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
13:48	Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
13:49	Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
13:50	But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
13:51	But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
13:52	The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 7: 9, 14- 17

7:9	After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
7:14	And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb.
7:15	Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them.
7:16	They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat.
7:17	For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

John 10: 27- 30

10:27	My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
10:28	And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
10:29	What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
10:30	I and the Father are one.”

Acts 9: 31- 42

9:31	Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
9:32	Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
9:33	But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
9:34	And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
9:35	And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
9:37	And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
9:38	Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
9:39	Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
9:40	And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
9:41	And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
9:42	Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

John 6: 60- 69

6:60	He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
6:61	Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
6:62	But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
6:63	Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
6:64	It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
6:65	But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
6:66	And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
6:67	After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
6:68	Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
6:69	Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Acts 9: 1- 20

9:1	Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
9:2	and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
9:3	And as he made the journey, it happened that he was approaching Damascus. And suddenly, a light from heaven shone around him.
9:4	And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
9:5	And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goad.”
9:6	And he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
9:7	And the Lord said to him, “Rise up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do.” Now the men who were accompanying him were standing stupefied, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no one.
9:8	Then Saul rose up from the ground. And upon opening his eyes, he saw nothing. So leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9:9	And in that place, he was without sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank.
9:10	Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
9:11	And the Lord said to him: “Rise up and go into the street that is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, the one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying.”
9:12	(And Paul saw a man named Ananias entering and imposing hands upon him, so that he might receive his sight.)
9:13	But Ananias responded: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
9:14	And he has authority here from the leaders of the priests to bind all who invoke your name.”
9:15	Then the Lord said to him: “Go, for this one is an instrument chosen by me to convey my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.
9:16	For I will reveal to him how much he must suffer on behalf of my name.”
9:17	And Ananias departed. And he entered the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you on the way by which you arrived, sent me so that you would receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
9:18	And immediately, it was as if scales had fallen from his eyes, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
9:19	And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.
9:20	And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.

John 6: 52- 59

6:52	If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
6:53	Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
6:55	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:56	For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:57	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
6:58	Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
6:59	This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

Acts 8: 26- 40

8:26	Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
8:27	And rising up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
8:28	And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
8:30	And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
8:31	And he said, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and sit with him.
8:32	Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
8:33	He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
8:34	Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
8:35	Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
8:36	And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
8:37	Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
8:38	And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.
8:39	And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, rejoicing.
8:40	Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.

John 6: 44- 51

6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
6:49	Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50	This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.

Acts 8: 1- 8

8:1	Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
8:2	But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
8:3	Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
8:4	Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
8:5	Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
8:6	And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
8:7	For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8:8	And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.

John 6: 35- 40

6:35	Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
6:36	But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
6:37	All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
6:38	For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39	Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
6:40	So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Acts 6: 8- 15

6:8	Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9	But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10	But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11	Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
6:12	And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
6:13	And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
6:14	For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
6:15	And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.

John 6: 22- 29

6:22	On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
6:23	Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
6:24	Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
6:25	And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
6:26	Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
6:27	Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
6:28	Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
6:29	Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”

Acts 5: 27- 32, 40 -41

5:27	And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
5:28	and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
5:29	But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
5:30	The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
5:31	It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
5:32	And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.

Revelation 5: 11- 14

5:11	And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
5:12	saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
5:13	And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.”
5:14	And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.

John 21: 1- 19

21:1	After this, Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this way.
21:2	These were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called the Twin, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
21:3	Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “And we are going with you.” And they went and climbed into the ship. And in that night, they caught nothing.
21:4	But when morning arrived, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
21:5	Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any food?” They answered him, “No.”
21:6	He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find some.” Therefore, they cast it out, and then they were not able to draw it in, because of the multitude of fish.
21:7	Therefore, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he had heard that it was the Lord, wrapped his tunic around himself, (for he was naked) and he cast himself into the sea.
21:8	Then the other disciples arrived in a boat, (for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits) dragging the net with the fish.
21:9	Then, when they climbed down to the land they saw burning coals prepared, and fish already placed above them, and bread.
21:10	Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
21:11	Simon Peter climbed up and drew in the net to land: full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
21:12	Jesus said to them, “Approach and dine.” And not one of them sitting down to eat dared to ask him, “Who are you?” For they knew that it was the Lord.
21:13	And Jesus approached, and he took bread, and he gave it to them, and similarly with the fish.
21:14	This was now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he had resurrected from the dead.
21:15	Then, when they had dined, 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, “Feed my lambs.”
21:16	He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
21:17	He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.
21:18	Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
21:19	Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

John 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

Acts 5: 34- 42

5:34	But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.
5:35	And he said to them: “Men of Israel, you should be careful in your intentions about these men.
5:36	For before these days, Theudas stepped forward, asserting himself to be someone, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined with him. But he was killed, and all who believed in him were scattered, and they were reduced to nothing.
5:37	After this one, Judas the Galilean stepped forward, in the days of the enrollment, and he turned the people toward himself. But he also perished, and all of them, as many as had joined with him, were dispersed.
5:38	And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.
5:39	Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.
5:42	And every day, in the temple and among the houses, they did not cease to teach and to evangelize Christ Jesus.

John 6: 1- 15

6:1	After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
6:2	And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
6:3	Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
6:4	Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
6:5	And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6:6	But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
6:7	Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
6:8	One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
6:9	“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
6:10	Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
6:11	Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
6:12	Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
6:13	And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
6:14	Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
6:15	And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.

Acts 11: 1- 18

11:1	Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
11:2	Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
11:3	saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
11:4	And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:
11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
11:6	And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
11:7	Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
11:8	But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’
11:9	Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’
11:10	Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.
11:11	And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
11:12	Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.
11:13	And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
11:14	And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’
11:15	And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
11:17	Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”
11:18	Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

John 10: 1- 10

10:1	“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2	But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3	To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4	And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5	But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6	Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7	Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8	All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9	I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10	The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

Acts 13: 14, 43- 52

13:14	Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
13:43	And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
13:44	Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
13:45	Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
13:46	Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
13:47	For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
13:48	Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
13:49	Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
13:50	But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
13:51	But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
13:52	The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 7: 9, 14- 17

7:9	After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
7:14	And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb.
7:15	Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them.
7:16	They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat.
7:17	For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

John 10: 27- 30

10:27	My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
10:28	And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
10:29	What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
10:30	I and the Father are one.”

Acts 9: 31- 42

9:31	Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
9:32	Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
9:33	But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
9:34	And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
9:35	And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
9:37	And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
9:38	Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
9:39	Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
9:40	And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
9:41	And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
9:42	Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

John 6: 60- 69

6:60	He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
6:61	Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
6:62	But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
6:63	Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
6:64	It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
6:65	But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
6:66	And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
6:67	After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
6:68	Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
6:69	Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Acts 9: 1- 20

9:1	Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
9:2	and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
9:3	And as he made the journey, it happened that he was approaching Damascus. And suddenly, a light from heaven shone around him.
9:4	And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
9:5	And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goad.”
9:6	And he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
9:7	And the Lord said to him, “Rise up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do.” Now the men who were accompanying him were standing stupefied, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no one.
9:8	Then Saul rose up from the ground. And upon opening his eyes, he saw nothing. So leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9:9	And in that place, he was without sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank.
9:10	Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
9:11	And the Lord said to him: “Rise up and go into the street that is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, the one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying.”
9:12	(And Paul saw a man named Ananias entering and imposing hands upon him, so that he might receive his sight.)
9:13	But Ananias responded: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
9:14	And he has authority here from the leaders of the priests to bind all who invoke your name.”
9:15	Then the Lord said to him: “Go, for this one is an instrument chosen by me to convey my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.
9:16	For I will reveal to him how much he must suffer on behalf of my name.”
9:17	And Ananias departed. And he entered the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you on the way by which you arrived, sent me so that you would receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
9:18	And immediately, it was as if scales had fallen from his eyes, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
9:19	And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.
9:20	And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.

John 6: 52- 59

6:52	If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
6:53	Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
6:55	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:56	For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:57	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
6:58	Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
6:59	This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

Acts 8: 26- 40

8:26	Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
8:27	And rising up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
8:28	And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
8:30	And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
8:31	And he said, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and sit with him.
8:32	Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
8:33	He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
8:34	Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
8:35	Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
8:36	And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
8:37	Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
8:38	And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.
8:39	And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, rejoicing.
8:40	Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.

John 6: 44- 51

6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
6:49	Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50	This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.

Acts 8: 1- 8

8:1	Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
8:2	But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
8:3	Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
8:4	Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
8:5	Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
8:6	And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
8:7	For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8:8	And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.

John 6: 35- 40

6:35	Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
6:36	But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
6:37	All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
6:38	For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39	Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
6:40	So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Acts 6: 8- 15

6:8	Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9	But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10	But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11	Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
6:12	And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
6:13	And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
6:14	For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
6:15	And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.

John 6: 22- 29

6:22	On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
6:23	Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
6:24	Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
6:25	And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
6:26	Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
6:27	Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
6:28	Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
6:29	Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”

Acts 5: 27- 32, 40 -41

5:27	And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
5:28	and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
5:29	But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
5:30	The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
5:31	It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
5:32	And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.

Revelation 5: 11- 14

5:11	And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
5:12	saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
5:13	And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.”
5:14	And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.

John 21: 1- 19

21:1	After this, Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this way.
21:2	These were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called the Twin, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
21:3	Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “And we are going with you.” And they went and climbed into the ship. And in that night, they caught nothing.
21:4	But when morning arrived, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
21:5	Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any food?” They answered him, “No.”
21:6	He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find some.” Therefore, they cast it out, and then they were not able to draw it in, because of the multitude of fish.
21:7	Therefore, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he had heard that it was the Lord, wrapped his tunic around himself, (for he was naked) and he cast himself into the sea.
21:8	Then the other disciples arrived in a boat, (for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits) dragging the net with the fish.
21:9	Then, when they climbed down to the land they saw burning coals prepared, and fish already placed above them, and bread.
21:10	Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
21:11	Simon Peter climbed up and drew in the net to land: full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
21:12	Jesus said to them, “Approach and dine.” And not one of them sitting down to eat dared to ask him, “Who are you?” For they knew that it was the Lord.
21:13	And Jesus approached, and he took bread, and he gave it to them, and similarly with the fish.
21:14	This was now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he had resurrected from the dead.
21:15	Then, when they had dined, 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, “Feed my lambs.”
21:16	He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
21:17	He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.
21:18	Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
21:19	Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

John 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

Acts 5: 34- 42

5:34	But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.
5:35	And he said to them: “Men of Israel, you should be careful in your intentions about these men.
5:36	For before these days, Theudas stepped forward, asserting himself to be someone, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined with him. But he was killed, and all who believed in him were scattered, and they were reduced to nothing.
5:37	After this one, Judas the Galilean stepped forward, in the days of the enrollment, and he turned the people toward himself. But he also perished, and all of them, as many as had joined with him, were dispersed.
5:38	And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.
5:39	Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.
5:42	And every day, in the temple and among the houses, they did not cease to teach and to evangelize Christ Jesus.

John 6: 1- 15

6:1	After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
6:2	And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
6:3	Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
6:4	Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
6:5	And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6:6	But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
6:7	Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
6:8	One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
6:9	“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
6:10	Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
6:11	Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
6:12	Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
6:13	And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
6:14	Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
6:15	And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.

Acts 11: 1- 18

11:1	Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
11:2	Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
11:3	saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
11:4	And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:
11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
11:6	And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
11:7	Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
11:8	But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’
11:9	Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’
11:10	Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.
11:11	And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
11:12	Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.
11:13	And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
11:14	And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’
11:15	And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
11:17	Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”
11:18	Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

John 10: 1- 10

10:1	“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2	But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3	To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4	And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5	But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6	Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7	Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8	All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9	I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10	The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

Acts 13: 14, 43- 52

13:14	Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
13:43	And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
13:44	Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
13:45	Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
13:46	Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
13:47	For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
13:48	Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
13:49	Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
13:50	But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
13:51	But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
13:52	The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 7: 9, 14- 17

7:9	After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
7:14	And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb.
7:15	Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them.
7:16	They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat.
7:17	For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

John 10: 27- 30

10:27	My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
10:28	And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
10:29	What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
10:30	I and the Father are one.”

Acts 9: 31- 42

9:31	Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
9:32	Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
9:33	But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
9:34	And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
9:35	And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
9:37	And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
9:38	Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
9:39	Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
9:40	And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
9:41	And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
9:42	Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

John 6: 60- 69

6:60	He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
6:61	Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
6:62	But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
6:63	Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
6:64	It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
6:65	But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
6:66	And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
6:67	After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
6:68	Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
6:69	Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Acts 9: 1- 20

9:1	Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
9:2	and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
9:3	And as he made the journey, it happened that he was approaching Damascus. And suddenly, a light from heaven shone around him.
9:4	And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
9:5	And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goad.”
9:6	And he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
9:7	And the Lord said to him, “Rise up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do.” Now the men who were accompanying him were standing stupefied, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no one.
9:8	Then Saul rose up from the ground. And upon opening his eyes, he saw nothing. So leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9:9	And in that place, he was without sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank.
9:10	Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
9:11	And the Lord said to him: “Rise up and go into the street that is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, the one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying.”
9:12	(And Paul saw a man named Ananias entering and imposing hands upon him, so that he might receive his sight.)
9:13	But Ananias responded: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
9:14	And he has authority here from the leaders of the priests to bind all who invoke your name.”
9:15	Then the Lord said to him: “Go, for this one is an instrument chosen by me to convey my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.
9:16	For I will reveal to him how much he must suffer on behalf of my name.”
9:17	And Ananias departed. And he entered the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you on the way by which you arrived, sent me so that you would receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
9:18	And immediately, it was as if scales had fallen from his eyes, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
9:19	And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.
9:20	And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.

John 6: 52- 59

6:52	If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
6:53	Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
6:55	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:56	For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:57	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
6:58	Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
6:59	This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

Acts 8: 26- 40

8:26	Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
8:27	And rising up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
8:28	And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
8:30	And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
8:31	And he said, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and sit with him.
8:32	Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
8:33	He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
8:34	Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
8:35	Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
8:36	And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
8:37	Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
8:38	And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.
8:39	And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, rejoicing.
8:40	Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.

John 6: 44- 51

6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
6:49	Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50	This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.

Acts 8: 1- 8

8:1	Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
8:2	But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
8:3	Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
8:4	Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
8:5	Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
8:6	And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
8:7	For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8:8	And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.

John 6: 35- 40

6:35	Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
6:36	But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
6:37	All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
6:38	For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39	Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
6:40	So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Acts 6: 8- 15

6:8	Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9	But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10	But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11	Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
6:12	And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
6:13	And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
6:14	For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
6:15	And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.

John 6: 22- 29

6:22	On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
6:23	Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
6:24	Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
6:25	And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
6:26	Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
6:27	Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
6:28	Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
6:29	Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”

Acts 5: 27- 32, 40 -41

5:27	And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
5:28	and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
5:29	But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
5:30	The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
5:31	It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
5:32	And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.

Revelation 5: 11- 14

5:11	And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
5:12	saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
5:13	And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.”
5:14	And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.

John 21: 1- 19

21:1	After this, Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this way.
21:2	These were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called the Twin, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
21:3	Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “And we are going with you.” And they went and climbed into the ship. And in that night, they caught nothing.
21:4	But when morning arrived, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
21:5	Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any food?” They answered him, “No.”
21:6	He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find some.” Therefore, they cast it out, and then they were not able to draw it in, because of the multitude of fish.
21:7	Therefore, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he had heard that it was the Lord, wrapped his tunic around himself, (for he was naked) and he cast himself into the sea.
21:8	Then the other disciples arrived in a boat, (for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits) dragging the net with the fish.
21:9	Then, when they climbed down to the land they saw burning coals prepared, and fish already placed above them, and bread.
21:10	Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
21:11	Simon Peter climbed up and drew in the net to land: full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
21:12	Jesus said to them, “Approach and dine.” And not one of them sitting down to eat dared to ask him, “Who are you?” For they knew that it was the Lord.
21:13	And Jesus approached, and he took bread, and he gave it to them, and similarly with the fish.
21:14	This was now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he had resurrected from the dead.
21:15	Then, when they had dined, 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, “Feed my lambs.”
21:16	He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
21:17	He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.
21:18	Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
21:19	Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

John 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

Acts 5: 34- 42

5:34	But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.
5:35	And he said to them: “Men of Israel, you should be careful in your intentions about these men.
5:36	For before these days, Theudas stepped forward, asserting himself to be someone, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined with him. But he was killed, and all who believed in him were scattered, and they were reduced to nothing.
5:37	After this one, Judas the Galilean stepped forward, in the days of the enrollment, and he turned the people toward himself. But he also perished, and all of them, as many as had joined with him, were dispersed.
5:38	And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.
5:39	Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.
5:42	And every day, in the temple and among the houses, they did not cease to teach and to evangelize Christ Jesus.

John 6: 1- 15

6:1	After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
6:2	And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
6:3	Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
6:4	Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
6:5	And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6:6	But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
6:7	Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
6:8	One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
6:9	“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
6:10	Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
6:11	Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
6:12	Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
6:13	And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
6:14	Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
6:15	And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.

Acts 11: 1- 18

11:1	Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
11:2	Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
11:3	saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
11:4	And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:
11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
11:6	And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
11:7	Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
11:8	But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’
11:9	Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’
11:10	Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.
11:11	And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
11:12	Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.
11:13	And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
11:14	And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’
11:15	And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
11:17	Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”
11:18	Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

John 10: 1- 10

10:1	“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2	But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3	To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4	And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5	But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6	Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7	Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8	All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9	I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10	The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

Acts 13: 14, 43- 52

13:14	Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
13:43	And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
13:44	Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
13:45	Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
13:46	Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
13:47	For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
13:48	Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
13:49	Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
13:50	But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
13:51	But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
13:52	The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 7: 9, 14- 17

7:9	After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
7:14	And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb.
7:15	Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them.
7:16	They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat.
7:17	For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

John 10: 27- 30

10:27	My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
10:28	And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
10:29	What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
10:30	I and the Father are one.”

Acts 9: 31- 42

9:31	Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
9:32	Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
9:33	But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
9:34	And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
9:35	And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
9:37	And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
9:38	Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
9:39	Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
9:40	And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
9:41	And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
9:42	Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

John 6: 60- 69

6:60	He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
6:61	Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
6:62	But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
6:63	Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
6:64	It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
6:65	But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
6:66	And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
6:67	After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
6:68	Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
6:69	Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Acts 9: 1- 20

9:1	Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
9:2	and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
9:3	And as he made the journey, it happened that he was approaching Damascus. And suddenly, a light from heaven shone around him.
9:4	And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
9:5	And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goad.”
9:6	And he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
9:7	And the Lord said to him, “Rise up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do.” Now the men who were accompanying him were standing stupefied, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no one.
9:8	Then Saul rose up from the ground. And upon opening his eyes, he saw nothing. So leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9:9	And in that place, he was without sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank.
9:10	Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
9:11	And the Lord said to him: “Rise up and go into the street that is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, the one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying.”
9:12	(And Paul saw a man named Ananias entering and imposing hands upon him, so that he might receive his sight.)
9:13	But Ananias responded: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
9:14	And he has authority here from the leaders of the priests to bind all who invoke your name.”
9:15	Then the Lord said to him: “Go, for this one is an instrument chosen by me to convey my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.
9:16	For I will reveal to him how much he must suffer on behalf of my name.”
9:17	And Ananias departed. And he entered the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you on the way by which you arrived, sent me so that you would receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
9:18	And immediately, it was as if scales had fallen from his eyes, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
9:19	And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.
9:20	And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.

John 6: 52- 59

6:52	If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
6:53	Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
6:55	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:56	For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:57	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
6:58	Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
6:59	This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

Acts 8: 26- 40

8:26	Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
8:27	And rising up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
8:28	And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
8:30	And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
8:31	And he said, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and sit with him.
8:32	Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
8:33	He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
8:34	Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
8:35	Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
8:36	And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
8:37	Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
8:38	And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.
8:39	And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, rejoicing.
8:40	Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.

John 6: 44- 51

6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
6:49	Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50	This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.

Acts 8: 1- 8

8:1	Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
8:2	But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
8:3	Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
8:4	Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
8:5	Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
8:6	And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
8:7	For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8:8	And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.

John 6: 35- 40

6:35	Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
6:36	But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
6:37	All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
6:38	For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39	Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
6:40	So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Acts 6: 8- 15

6:8	Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9	But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10	But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11	Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
6:12	And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
6:13	And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
6:14	For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
6:15	And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.

John 6: 22- 29

6:22	On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
6:23	Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
6:24	Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
6:25	And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
6:26	Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
6:27	Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
6:28	Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
6:29	Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”

Acts 5: 27- 32, 40 -41

5:27	And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
5:28	and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
5:29	But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
5:30	The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
5:31	It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
5:32	And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.

Revelation 5: 11- 14

5:11	And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
5:12	saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
5:13	And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.”
5:14	And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.

John 21: 1- 19

21:1	After this, Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this way.
21:2	These were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called the Twin, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
21:3	Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “And we are going with you.” And they went and climbed into the ship. And in that night, they caught nothing.
21:4	But when morning arrived, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
21:5	Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any food?” They answered him, “No.”
21:6	He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find some.” Therefore, they cast it out, and then they were not able to draw it in, because of the multitude of fish.
21:7	Therefore, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he had heard that it was the Lord, wrapped his tunic around himself, (for he was naked) and he cast himself into the sea.
21:8	Then the other disciples arrived in a boat, (for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits) dragging the net with the fish.
21:9	Then, when they climbed down to the land they saw burning coals prepared, and fish already placed above them, and bread.
21:10	Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
21:11	Simon Peter climbed up and drew in the net to land: full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
21:12	Jesus said to them, “Approach and dine.” And not one of them sitting down to eat dared to ask him, “Who are you?” For they knew that it was the Lord.
21:13	And Jesus approached, and he took bread, and he gave it to them, and similarly with the fish.
21:14	This was now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he had resurrected from the dead.
21:15	Then, when they had dined, 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, “Feed my lambs.”
21:16	He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
21:17	He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.
21:18	Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
21:19	Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

John 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

Acts 5: 34- 42

5:34	But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.
5:35	And he said to them: “Men of Israel, you should be careful in your intentions about these men.
5:36	For before these days, Theudas stepped forward, asserting himself to be someone, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined with him. But he was killed, and all who believed in him were scattered, and they were reduced to nothing.
5:37	After this one, Judas the Galilean stepped forward, in the days of the enrollment, and he turned the people toward himself. But he also perished, and all of them, as many as had joined with him, were dispersed.
5:38	And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.
5:39	Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.
5:42	And every day, in the temple and among the houses, they did not cease to teach and to evangelize Christ Jesus.

John 6: 1- 15

6:1	After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
6:2	And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
6:3	Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
6:4	Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
6:5	And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6:6	But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
6:7	Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
6:8	One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
6:9	“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
6:10	Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
6:11	Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
6:12	Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
6:13	And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
6:14	Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
6:15	And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.

Acts 11: 1- 18

11:1	Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
11:2	Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
11:3	saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
11:4	And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:
11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
11:6	And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
11:7	Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
11:8	But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’
11:9	Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’
11:10	Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.
11:11	And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
11:12	Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.
11:13	And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
11:14	And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’
11:15	And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
11:17	Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”
11:18	Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

John 10: 1- 10

10:1	“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2	But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3	To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4	And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5	But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6	Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7	Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8	All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9	I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10	The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

Acts 13: 14, 43- 52

13:14	Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
13:43	And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
13:44	Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
13:45	Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
13:46	Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
13:47	For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
13:48	Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
13:49	Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
13:50	But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
13:51	But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
13:52	The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 7: 9, 14- 17

7:9	After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
7:14	And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb.
7:15	Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them.
7:16	They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat.
7:17	For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

John 10: 27- 30

10:27	My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
10:28	And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
10:29	What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
10:30	I and the Father are one.”

Acts 9: 31- 42

9:31	Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
9:32	Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
9:33	But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
9:34	And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
9:35	And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
9:37	And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
9:38	Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
9:39	Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
9:40	And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
9:41	And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
9:42	Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

John 6: 60- 69

6:60	He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
6:61	Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
6:62	But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
6:63	Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
6:64	It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
6:65	But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
6:66	And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
6:67	After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
6:68	Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
6:69	Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Acts 9: 1- 20

9:1	Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
9:2	and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
9:3	And as he made the journey, it happened that he was approaching Damascus. And suddenly, a light from heaven shone around him.
9:4	And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
9:5	And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goad.”
9:6	And he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
9:7	And the Lord said to him, “Rise up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do.” Now the men who were accompanying him were standing stupefied, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no one.
9:8	Then Saul rose up from the ground. And upon opening his eyes, he saw nothing. So leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9:9	And in that place, he was without sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank.
9:10	Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
9:11	And the Lord said to him: “Rise up and go into the street that is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, the one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying.”
9:12	(And Paul saw a man named Ananias entering and imposing hands upon him, so that he might receive his sight.)
9:13	But Ananias responded: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
9:14	And he has authority here from the leaders of the priests to bind all who invoke your name.”
9:15	Then the Lord said to him: “Go, for this one is an instrument chosen by me to convey my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.
9:16	For I will reveal to him how much he must suffer on behalf of my name.”
9:17	And Ananias departed. And he entered the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you on the way by which you arrived, sent me so that you would receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
9:18	And immediately, it was as if scales had fallen from his eyes, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
9:19	And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.
9:20	And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.

John 6: 52- 59

6:52	If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
6:53	Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
6:55	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:56	For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:57	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
6:58	Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
6:59	This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

Acts 8: 26- 40

8:26	Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
8:27	And rising up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
8:28	And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
8:30	And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
8:31	And he said, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and sit with him.
8:32	Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
8:33	He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
8:34	Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
8:35	Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
8:36	And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
8:37	Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
8:38	And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.
8:39	And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, rejoicing.
8:40	Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.

John 6: 44- 51

6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
6:49	Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50	This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.

Acts 8: 1- 8

8:1	Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
8:2	But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
8:3	Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
8:4	Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
8:5	Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
8:6	And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
8:7	For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8:8	And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.

John 6: 35- 40

6:35	Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
6:36	But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
6:37	All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
6:38	For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39	Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
6:40	So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Acts 6: 8- 15

6:8	Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9	But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10	But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11	Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
6:12	And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
6:13	And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
6:14	For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
6:15	And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.

John 6: 22- 29

6:22	On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
6:23	Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
6:24	Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
6:25	And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
6:26	Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
6:27	Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
6:28	Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
6:29	Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”

Acts 5: 27- 32, 40 -41

5:27	And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
5:28	and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
5:29	But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
5:30	The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
5:31	It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
5:32	And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.

Revelation 5: 11- 14

5:11	And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
5:12	saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
5:13	And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.”
5:14	And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.

John 21: 1- 19

21:1	After this, Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this way.
21:2	These were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called the Twin, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
21:3	Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “And we are going with you.” And they went and climbed into the ship. And in that night, they caught nothing.
21:4	But when morning arrived, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
21:5	Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any food?” They answered him, “No.”
21:6	He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find some.” Therefore, they cast it out, and then they were not able to draw it in, because of the multitude of fish.
21:7	Therefore, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he had heard that it was the Lord, wrapped his tunic around himself, (for he was naked) and he cast himself into the sea.
21:8	Then the other disciples arrived in a boat, (for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits) dragging the net with the fish.
21:9	Then, when they climbed down to the land they saw burning coals prepared, and fish already placed above them, and bread.
21:10	Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
21:11	Simon Peter climbed up and drew in the net to land: full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
21:12	Jesus said to them, “Approach and dine.” And not one of them sitting down to eat dared to ask him, “Who are you?” For they knew that it was the Lord.
21:13	And Jesus approached, and he took bread, and he gave it to them, and similarly with the fish.
21:14	This was now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he had resurrected from the dead.
21:15	Then, when they had dined, 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, “Feed my lambs.”
21:16	He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
21:17	He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.
21:18	Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
21:19	Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

John 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

Acts 5: 34- 42

5:34	But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.
5:35	And he said to them: “Men of Israel, you should be careful in your intentions about these men.
5:36	For before these days, Theudas stepped forward, asserting himself to be someone, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined with him. But he was killed, and all who believed in him were scattered, and they were reduced to nothing.
5:37	After this one, Judas the Galilean stepped forward, in the days of the enrollment, and he turned the people toward himself. But he also perished, and all of them, as many as had joined with him, were dispersed.
5:38	And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.
5:39	Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.
5:42	And every day, in the temple and among the houses, they did not cease to teach and to evangelize Christ Jesus.

John 6: 1- 15

6:1	After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
6:2	And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
6:3	Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
6:4	Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
6:5	And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6:6	But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
6:7	Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
6:8	One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
6:9	“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
6:10	Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
6:11	Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
6:12	Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
6:13	And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
6:14	Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
6:15	And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.

Acts 11: 1- 18

11:1	Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
11:2	Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
11:3	saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
11:4	And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:
11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
11:6	And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
11:7	Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
11:8	But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’
11:9	Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’
11:10	Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.
11:11	And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
11:12	Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.
11:13	And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
11:14	And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’
11:15	And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
11:17	Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”
11:18	Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

John 10: 1- 10

10:1	“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2	But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3	To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4	And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5	But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6	Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7	Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8	All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9	I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10	The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

Acts 13: 14, 43- 52

13:14	Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
13:43	And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
13:44	Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
13:45	Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
13:46	Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
13:47	For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
13:48	Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
13:49	Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
13:50	But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
13:51	But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
13:52	The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 7: 9, 14- 17

7:9	After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
7:14	And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb.
7:15	Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them.
7:16	They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat.
7:17	For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

John 10: 27- 30

10:27	My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
10:28	And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
10:29	What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
10:30	I and the Father are one.”

Acts 9: 31- 42

9:31	Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
9:32	Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
9:33	But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
9:34	And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
9:35	And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
9:37	And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
9:38	Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
9:39	Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
9:40	And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
9:41	And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
9:42	Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

John 6: 60- 69

6:60	He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
6:61	Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
6:62	But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
6:63	Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
6:64	It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
6:65	But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
6:66	And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
6:67	After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
6:68	Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
6:69	Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Acts 9: 1- 20

9:1	Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
9:2	and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
9:3	And as he made the journey, it happened that he was approaching Damascus. And suddenly, a light from heaven shone around him.
9:4	And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
9:5	And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goad.”
9:6	And he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
9:7	And the Lord said to him, “Rise up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do.” Now the men who were accompanying him were standing stupefied, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no one.
9:8	Then Saul rose up from the ground. And upon opening his eyes, he saw nothing. So leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9:9	And in that place, he was without sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank.
9:10	Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
9:11	And the Lord said to him: “Rise up and go into the street that is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, the one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying.”
9:12	(And Paul saw a man named Ananias entering and imposing hands upon him, so that he might receive his sight.)
9:13	But Ananias responded: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
9:14	And he has authority here from the leaders of the priests to bind all who invoke your name.”
9:15	Then the Lord said to him: “Go, for this one is an instrument chosen by me to convey my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.
9:16	For I will reveal to him how much he must suffer on behalf of my name.”
9:17	And Ananias departed. And he entered the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you on the way by which you arrived, sent me so that you would receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
9:18	And immediately, it was as if scales had fallen from his eyes, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
9:19	And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.
9:20	And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.

John 6: 52- 59

6:52	If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
6:53	Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
6:55	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:56	For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:57	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
6:58	Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
6:59	This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

Acts 8: 26- 40

8:26	Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
8:27	And rising up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
8:28	And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
8:30	And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
8:31	And he said, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and sit with him.
8:32	Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
8:33	He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
8:34	Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
8:35	Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
8:36	And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
8:37	Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
8:38	And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.
8:39	And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, rejoicing.
8:40	Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.

John 6: 44- 51

6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
6:49	Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50	This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.

Acts 8: 1- 8

8:1	Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
8:2	But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
8:3	Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
8:4	Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
8:5	Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
8:6	And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
8:7	For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8:8	And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.

John 6: 35- 40

6:35	Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
6:36	But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
6:37	All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
6:38	For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39	Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
6:40	So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Acts 6: 8- 15

6:8	Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9	But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10	But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11	Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
6:12	And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
6:13	And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
6:14	For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
6:15	And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.

John 6: 22- 29

6:22	On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
6:23	Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
6:24	Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
6:25	And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
6:26	Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
6:27	Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
6:28	Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
6:29	Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”

Acts 5: 27- 32, 40 -41

5:27	And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
5:28	and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
5:29	But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
5:30	The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
5:31	It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
5:32	And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.

Revelation 5: 11- 14

5:11	And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
5:12	saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
5:13	And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.”
5:14	And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.

John 21: 1- 19

21:1	After this, Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this way.
21:2	These were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called the Twin, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
21:3	Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “And we are going with you.” And they went and climbed into the ship. And in that night, they caught nothing.
21:4	But when morning arrived, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
21:5	Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any food?” They answered him, “No.”
21:6	He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find some.” Therefore, they cast it out, and then they were not able to draw it in, because of the multitude of fish.
21:7	Therefore, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he had heard that it was the Lord, wrapped his tunic around himself, (for he was naked) and he cast himself into the sea.
21:8	Then the other disciples arrived in a boat, (for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits) dragging the net with the fish.
21:9	Then, when they climbed down to the land they saw burning coals prepared, and fish already placed above them, and bread.
21:10	Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
21:11	Simon Peter climbed up and drew in the net to land: full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
21:12	Jesus said to them, “Approach and dine.” And not one of them sitting down to eat dared to ask him, “Who are you?” For they knew that it was the Lord.
21:13	And Jesus approached, and he took bread, and he gave it to them, and similarly with the fish.
21:14	This was now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he had resurrected from the dead.
21:15	Then, when they had dined, 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, “Feed my lambs.”
21:16	He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
21:17	He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.
21:18	Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
21:19	Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

John 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

Acts 5: 34- 42

5:34	But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.
5:35	And he said to them: “Men of Israel, you should be careful in your intentions about these men.
5:36	For before these days, Theudas stepped forward, asserting himself to be someone, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined with him. But he was killed, and all who believed in him were scattered, and they were reduced to nothing.
5:37	After this one, Judas the Galilean stepped forward, in the days of the enrollment, and he turned the people toward himself. But he also perished, and all of them, as many as had joined with him, were dispersed.
5:38	And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.
5:39	Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.
5:42	And every day, in the temple and among the houses, they did not cease to teach and to evangelize Christ Jesus.

John 6: 1- 15

6:1	After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
6:2	And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
6:3	Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
6:4	Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
6:5	And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6:6	But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
6:7	Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
6:8	One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
6:9	“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
6:10	Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
6:11	Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
6:12	Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
6:13	And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
6:14	Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
6:15	And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.

Acts 11: 1- 18

11:1	Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
11:2	Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
11:3	saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
11:4	And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:
11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
11:6	And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
11:7	Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
11:8	But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’
11:9	Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’
11:10	Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.
11:11	And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
11:12	Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.
11:13	And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
11:14	And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’
11:15	And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
11:17	Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”
11:18	Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

John 10: 1- 10

10:1	“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2	But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3	To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4	And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5	But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6	Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7	Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8	All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9	I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10	The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

Acts 13: 14, 43- 52

13:14	Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
13:43	And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
13:44	Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
13:45	Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
13:46	Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
13:47	For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
13:48	Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
13:49	Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
13:50	But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
13:51	But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
13:52	The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 7: 9, 14- 17

7:9	After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
7:14	And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb.
7:15	Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them.
7:16	They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat.
7:17	For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

John 10: 27- 30

10:27	My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
10:28	And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
10:29	What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
10:30	I and the Father are one.”

Acts 9: 31- 42

9:31	Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
9:32	Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
9:33	But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
9:34	And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
9:35	And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
9:37	And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
9:38	Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
9:39	Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
9:40	And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
9:41	And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
9:42	Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

John 6: 60- 69

6:60	He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
6:61	Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
6:62	But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
6:63	Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
6:64	It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
6:65	But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
6:66	And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
6:67	After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
6:68	Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
6:69	Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Acts 9: 1- 20

9:1	Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
9:2	and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
9:3	And as he made the journey, it happened that he was approaching Damascus. And suddenly, a light from heaven shone around him.
9:4	And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
9:5	And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goad.”
9:6	And he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
9:7	And the Lord said to him, “Rise up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do.” Now the men who were accompanying him were standing stupefied, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no one.
9:8	Then Saul rose up from the ground. And upon opening his eyes, he saw nothing. So leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9:9	And in that place, he was without sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank.
9:10	Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
9:11	And the Lord said to him: “Rise up and go into the street that is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, the one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying.”
9:12	(And Paul saw a man named Ananias entering and imposing hands upon him, so that he might receive his sight.)
9:13	But Ananias responded: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
9:14	And he has authority here from the leaders of the priests to bind all who invoke your name.”
9:15	Then the Lord said to him: “Go, for this one is an instrument chosen by me to convey my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.
9:16	For I will reveal to him how much he must suffer on behalf of my name.”
9:17	And Ananias departed. And he entered the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you on the way by which you arrived, sent me so that you would receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
9:18	And immediately, it was as if scales had fallen from his eyes, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
9:19	And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.
9:20	And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.

John 6: 52- 59

6:52	If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
6:53	Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
6:55	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:56	For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:57	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
6:58	Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
6:59	This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

Acts 8: 26- 40

8:26	Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
8:27	And rising up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
8:28	And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
8:30	And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
8:31	And he said, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and sit with him.
8:32	Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
8:33	He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
8:34	Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
8:35	Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
8:36	And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
8:37	Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
8:38	And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.
8:39	And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, rejoicing.
8:40	Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.

John 6: 44- 51

6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
6:49	Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50	This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.

Acts 8: 1- 8

8:1	Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
8:2	But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
8:3	Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
8:4	Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
8:5	Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
8:6	And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
8:7	For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8:8	And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.

John 6: 35- 40

6:35	Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
6:36	But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
6:37	All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
6:38	For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39	Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
6:40	So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Acts 6: 8- 15

6:8	Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9	But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10	But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11	Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
6:12	And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
6:13	And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
6:14	For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
6:15	And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.

John 6: 22- 29

6:22	On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
6:23	Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
6:24	Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
6:25	And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
6:26	Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
6:27	Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
6:28	Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
6:29	Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”

Acts 5: 27- 32, 40 -41

5:27	And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
5:28	and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
5:29	But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
5:30	The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
5:31	It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
5:32	And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.

Revelation 5: 11- 14

5:11	And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
5:12	saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
5:13	And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.”
5:14	And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.

John 21: 1- 19

21:1	After this, Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this way.
21:2	These were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called the Twin, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
21:3	Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “And we are going with you.” And they went and climbed into the ship. And in that night, they caught nothing.
21:4	But when morning arrived, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
21:5	Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any food?” They answered him, “No.”
21:6	He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find some.” Therefore, they cast it out, and then they were not able to draw it in, because of the multitude of fish.
21:7	Therefore, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he had heard that it was the Lord, wrapped his tunic around himself, (for he was naked) and he cast himself into the sea.
21:8	Then the other disciples arrived in a boat, (for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits) dragging the net with the fish.
21:9	Then, when they climbed down to the land they saw burning coals prepared, and fish already placed above them, and bread.
21:10	Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
21:11	Simon Peter climbed up and drew in the net to land: full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
21:12	Jesus said to them, “Approach and dine.” And not one of them sitting down to eat dared to ask him, “Who are you?” For they knew that it was the Lord.
21:13	And Jesus approached, and he took bread, and he gave it to them, and similarly with the fish.
21:14	This was now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he had resurrected from the dead.
21:15	Then, when they had dined, 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, “Feed my lambs.”
21:16	He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
21:17	He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.
21:18	Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
21:19	Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

John 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

Acts 5: 34- 42

5:34	But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.
5:35	And he said to them: “Men of Israel, you should be careful in your intentions about these men.
5:36	For before these days, Theudas stepped forward, asserting himself to be someone, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined with him. But he was killed, and all who believed in him were scattered, and they were reduced to nothing.
5:37	After this one, Judas the Galilean stepped forward, in the days of the enrollment, and he turned the people toward himself. But he also perished, and all of them, as many as had joined with him, were dispersed.
5:38	And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.
5:39	Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.
5:42	And every day, in the temple and among the houses, they did not cease to teach and to evangelize Christ Jesus.

John 6: 1- 15

6:1	After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
6:2	And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
6:3	Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
6:4	Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
6:5	And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6:6	But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
6:7	Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
6:8	One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
6:9	“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
6:10	Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
6:11	Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
6:12	Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
6:13	And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
6:14	Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
6:15	And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.

Acts 11: 1- 18

11:1	Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
11:2	Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
11:3	saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
11:4	And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:
11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
11:6	And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
11:7	Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
11:8	But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’
11:9	Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’
11:10	Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.
11:11	And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
11:12	Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.
11:13	And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
11:14	And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’
11:15	And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
11:17	Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”
11:18	Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

John 10: 1- 10

10:1	“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2	But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3	To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4	And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5	But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6	Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7	Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8	All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9	I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10	The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

Acts 13: 14, 43- 52

13:14	Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
13:43	And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
13:44	Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
13:45	Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
13:46	Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
13:47	For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
13:48	Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
13:49	Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
13:50	But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
13:51	But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
13:52	The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 7: 9, 14- 17

7:9	After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
7:14	And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb.
7:15	Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them.
7:16	They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat.
7:17	For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

John 10: 27- 30

10:27	My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
10:28	And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
10:29	What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
10:30	I and the Father are one.”

Acts 9: 31- 42

9:31	Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
9:32	Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
9:33	But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
9:34	And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
9:35	And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
9:37	And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
9:38	Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
9:39	Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
9:40	And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
9:41	And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
9:42	Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

John 6: 60- 69

6:60	He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
6:61	Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
6:62	But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
6:63	Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
6:64	It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
6:65	But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
6:66	And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
6:67	After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
6:68	Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
6:69	Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Acts 9: 1- 20

9:1	Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
9:2	and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
9:3	And as he made the journey, it happened that he was approaching Damascus. And suddenly, a light from heaven shone around him.
9:4	And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
9:5	And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goad.”
9:6	And he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
9:7	And the Lord said to him, “Rise up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do.” Now the men who were accompanying him were standing stupefied, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no one.
9:8	Then Saul rose up from the ground. And upon opening his eyes, he saw nothing. So leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9:9	And in that place, he was without sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank.
9:10	Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
9:11	And the Lord said to him: “Rise up and go into the street that is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, the one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying.”
9:12	(And Paul saw a man named Ananias entering and imposing hands upon him, so that he might receive his sight.)
9:13	But Ananias responded: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
9:14	And he has authority here from the leaders of the priests to bind all who invoke your name.”
9:15	Then the Lord said to him: “Go, for this one is an instrument chosen by me to convey my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.
9:16	For I will reveal to him how much he must suffer on behalf of my name.”
9:17	And Ananias departed. And he entered the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you on the way by which you arrived, sent me so that you would receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
9:18	And immediately, it was as if scales had fallen from his eyes, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
9:19	And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.
9:20	And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.

John 6: 52- 59

6:52	If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
6:53	Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
6:55	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:56	For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:57	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
6:58	Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
6:59	This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

Acts 8: 26- 40

8:26	Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
8:27	And rising up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
8:28	And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
8:30	And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
8:31	And he said, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and sit with him.
8:32	Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
8:33	He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
8:34	Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
8:35	Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
8:36	And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
8:37	Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
8:38	And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.
8:39	And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, rejoicing.
8:40	Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.

John 6: 44- 51

6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
6:49	Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50	This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.

Acts 8: 1- 8

8:1	Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
8:2	But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
8:3	Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
8:4	Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
8:5	Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
8:6	And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
8:7	For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8:8	And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.

John 6: 35- 40

6:35	Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
6:36	But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
6:37	All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
6:38	For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39	Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
6:40	So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Acts 6: 8- 15

6:8	Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9	But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10	But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11	Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
6:12	And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
6:13	And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
6:14	For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
6:15	And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.

John 6: 22- 29

6:22	On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
6:23	Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
6:24	Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
6:25	And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
6:26	Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
6:27	Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
6:28	Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
6:29	Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”

Acts 5: 27- 32, 40 -41

5:27	And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
5:28	and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
5:29	But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
5:30	The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
5:31	It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
5:32	And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.

Revelation 5: 11- 14

5:11	And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
5:12	saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
5:13	And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.”
5:14	And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.

John 21: 1- 19

21:1	After this, Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this way.
21:2	These were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called the Twin, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
21:3	Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “And we are going with you.” And they went and climbed into the ship. And in that night, they caught nothing.
21:4	But when morning arrived, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
21:5	Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any food?” They answered him, “No.”
21:6	He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find some.” Therefore, they cast it out, and then they were not able to draw it in, because of the multitude of fish.
21:7	Therefore, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he had heard that it was the Lord, wrapped his tunic around himself, (for he was naked) and he cast himself into the sea.
21:8	Then the other disciples arrived in a boat, (for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits) dragging the net with the fish.
21:9	Then, when they climbed down to the land they saw burning coals prepared, and fish already placed above them, and bread.
21:10	Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
21:11	Simon Peter climbed up and drew in the net to land: full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
21:12	Jesus said to them, “Approach and dine.” And not one of them sitting down to eat dared to ask him, “Who are you?” For they knew that it was the Lord.
21:13	And Jesus approached, and he took bread, and he gave it to them, and similarly with the fish.
21:14	This was now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he had resurrected from the dead.
21:15	Then, when they had dined, 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, “Feed my lambs.”
21:16	He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
21:17	He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.
21:18	Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
21:19	Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

John 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

Acts 5: 34- 42

5:34	But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.
5:35	And he said to them: “Men of Israel, you should be careful in your intentions about these men.
5:36	For before these days, Theudas stepped forward, asserting himself to be someone, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined with him. But he was killed, and all who believed in him were scattered, and they were reduced to nothing.
5:37	After this one, Judas the Galilean stepped forward, in the days of the enrollment, and he turned the people toward himself. But he also perished, and all of them, as many as had joined with him, were dispersed.
5:38	And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.
5:39	Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.
5:42	And every day, in the temple and among the houses, they did not cease to teach and to evangelize Christ Jesus.

John 6: 1- 15

6:1	After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
6:2	And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
6:3	Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
6:4	Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
6:5	And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6:6	But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
6:7	Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
6:8	One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
6:9	“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
6:10	Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
6:11	Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
6:12	Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
6:13	And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
6:14	Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
6:15	And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.

Acts 11: 1- 18

11:1	Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
11:2	Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
11:3	saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
11:4	And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:
11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
11:6	And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
11:7	Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
11:8	But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’
11:9	Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’
11:10	Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.
11:11	And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
11:12	Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.
11:13	And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
11:14	And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’
11:15	And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
11:17	Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”
11:18	Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

John 10: 1- 10

10:1	“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2	But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3	To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4	And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5	But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6	Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7	Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8	All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9	I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10	The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

Acts 13: 14, 43- 52

13:14	Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
13:43	And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
13:44	Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
13:45	Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
13:46	Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
13:47	For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
13:48	Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
13:49	Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
13:50	But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
13:51	But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
13:52	The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 7: 9, 14- 17

7:9	After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
7:14	And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb.
7:15	Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them.
7:16	They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat.
7:17	For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

John 10: 27- 30

10:27	My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
10:28	And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
10:29	What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
10:30	I and the Father are one.”

Acts 9: 31- 42

9:31	Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
9:32	Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
9:33	But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
9:34	And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
9:35	And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
9:37	And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
9:38	Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
9:39	Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
9:40	And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
9:41	And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
9:42	Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

John 6: 60- 69

6:60	He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
6:61	Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
6:62	But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
6:63	Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
6:64	It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
6:65	But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
6:66	And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
6:67	After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
6:68	Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
6:69	Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Acts 9: 1- 20

9:1	Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
9:2	and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
9:3	And as he made the journey, it happened that he was approaching Damascus. And suddenly, a light from heaven shone around him.
9:4	And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
9:5	And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goad.”
9:6	And he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
9:7	And the Lord said to him, “Rise up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do.” Now the men who were accompanying him were standing stupefied, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no one.
9:8	Then Saul rose up from the ground. And upon opening his eyes, he saw nothing. So leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9:9	And in that place, he was without sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank.
9:10	Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
9:11	And the Lord said to him: “Rise up and go into the street that is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, the one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying.”
9:12	(And Paul saw a man named Ananias entering and imposing hands upon him, so that he might receive his sight.)
9:13	But Ananias responded: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
9:14	And he has authority here from the leaders of the priests to bind all who invoke your name.”
9:15	Then the Lord said to him: “Go, for this one is an instrument chosen by me to convey my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.
9:16	For I will reveal to him how much he must suffer on behalf of my name.”
9:17	And Ananias departed. And he entered the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you on the way by which you arrived, sent me so that you would receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
9:18	And immediately, it was as if scales had fallen from his eyes, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
9:19	And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.
9:20	And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.

John 6: 52- 59

6:52	If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
6:53	Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
6:55	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:56	For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:57	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
6:58	Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
6:59	This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

Acts 8: 26- 40

8:26	Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
8:27	And rising up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
8:28	And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
8:30	And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
8:31	And he said, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and sit with him.
8:32	Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
8:33	He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
8:34	Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
8:35	Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
8:36	And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
8:37	Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
8:38	And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.
8:39	And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, rejoicing.
8:40	Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.

John 6: 44- 51

6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
6:49	Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50	This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.

Acts 8: 1- 8

8:1	Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
8:2	But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
8:3	Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
8:4	Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
8:5	Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
8:6	And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
8:7	For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8:8	And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.

John 6: 35- 40

6:35	Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
6:36	But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
6:37	All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
6:38	For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39	Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
6:40	So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Acts 6: 8- 15

6:8	Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9	But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10	But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11	Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
6:12	And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
6:13	And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
6:14	For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
6:15	And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.

John 6: 22- 29

6:22	On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
6:23	Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
6:24	Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
6:25	And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
6:26	Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
6:27	Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
6:28	Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
6:29	Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”

Acts 5: 27- 32, 40 -41

5:27	And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
5:28	and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
5:29	But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
5:30	The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
5:31	It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
5:32	And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.

Revelation 5: 11- 14

5:11	And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
5:12	saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
5:13	And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.”
5:14	And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.

John 21: 1- 19

21:1	After this, Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this way.
21:2	These were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called the Twin, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
21:3	Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “And we are going with you.” And they went and climbed into the ship. And in that night, they caught nothing.
21:4	But when morning arrived, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
21:5	Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any food?” They answered him, “No.”
21:6	He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find some.” Therefore, they cast it out, and then they were not able to draw it in, because of the multitude of fish.
21:7	Therefore, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he had heard that it was the Lord, wrapped his tunic around himself, (for he was naked) and he cast himself into the sea.
21:8	Then the other disciples arrived in a boat, (for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits) dragging the net with the fish.
21:9	Then, when they climbed down to the land they saw burning coals prepared, and fish already placed above them, and bread.
21:10	Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
21:11	Simon Peter climbed up and drew in the net to land: full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
21:12	Jesus said to them, “Approach and dine.” And not one of them sitting down to eat dared to ask him, “Who are you?” For they knew that it was the Lord.
21:13	And Jesus approached, and he took bread, and he gave it to them, and similarly with the fish.
21:14	This was now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he had resurrected from the dead.
21:15	Then, when they had dined, 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, “Feed my lambs.”
21:16	He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
21:17	He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.
21:18	Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
21:19	Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

John 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

Acts 5: 34- 42

5:34	But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.
5:35	And he said to them: “Men of Israel, you should be careful in your intentions about these men.
5:36	For before these days, Theudas stepped forward, asserting himself to be someone, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined with him. But he was killed, and all who believed in him were scattered, and they were reduced to nothing.
5:37	After this one, Judas the Galilean stepped forward, in the days of the enrollment, and he turned the people toward himself. But he also perished, and all of them, as many as had joined with him, were dispersed.
5:38	And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.
5:39	Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.
5:42	And every day, in the temple and among the houses, they did not cease to teach and to evangelize Christ Jesus.

John 6: 1- 15

6:1	After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
6:2	And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
6:3	Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
6:4	Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
6:5	And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6:6	But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
6:7	Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
6:8	One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
6:9	“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
6:10	Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
6:11	Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
6:12	Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
6:13	And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
6:14	Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
6:15	And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.

Acts 11: 1- 18

11:1	Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
11:2	Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
11:3	saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
11:4	And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:
11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
11:6	And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
11:7	Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
11:8	But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’
11:9	Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’
11:10	Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.
11:11	And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
11:12	Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.
11:13	And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
11:14	And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’
11:15	And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.
11:16	Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
11:17	Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”
11:18	Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

John 10: 1- 10

10:1	“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2	But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3	To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4	And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5	But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6	Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7	Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8	All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9	I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10	The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

Acts 13: 14, 43- 52

13:14	Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
13:43	And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
13:44	Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
13:45	Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
13:46	Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
13:47	For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
13:48	Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
13:49	Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
13:50	But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
13:51	But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
13:52	The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 7: 9, 14- 17

7:9	After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
7:14	And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb.
7:15	Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them.
7:16	They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat.
7:17	For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

John 10: 27- 30

10:27	My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
10:28	And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
10:29	What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
10:30	I and the Father are one.”

Acts 9: 31- 42

9:31	Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
9:32	Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
9:33	But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
9:34	And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
9:35	And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
9:37	And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
9:38	Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
9:39	Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
9:40	And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
9:41	And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
9:42	Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

John 6: 60- 69

6:60	He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
6:61	Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
6:62	But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
6:63	Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
6:64	It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
6:65	But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
6:66	And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
6:67	After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
6:68	Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
6:69	Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Acts 9: 1- 20

9:1	Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
9:2	and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
9:3	And as he made the journey, it happened that he was approaching Damascus. And suddenly, a light from heaven shone around him.
9:4	And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
9:5	And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goad.”
9:6	And he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
9:7	And the Lord said to him, “Rise up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do.” Now the men who were accompanying him were standing stupefied, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no one.
9:8	Then Saul rose up from the ground. And upon opening his eyes, he saw nothing. So leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9:9	And in that place, he was without sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank.
9:10	Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
9:11	And the Lord said to him: “Rise up and go into the street that is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, the one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying.”
9:12	(And Paul saw a man named Ananias entering and imposing hands upon him, so that he might receive his sight.)
9:13	But Ananias responded: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
9:14	And he has authority here from the leaders of the priests to bind all who invoke your name.”
9:15	Then the Lord said to him: “Go, for this one is an instrument chosen by me to convey my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.
9:16	For I will reveal to him how much he must suffer on behalf of my name.”
9:17	And Ananias departed. And he entered the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you on the way by which you arrived, sent me so that you would receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
9:18	And immediately, it was as if scales had fallen from his eyes, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
9:19	And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.
9:20	And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.

John 6: 52- 59

6:52	If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
6:53	Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
6:55	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:56	For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:57	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
6:58	Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
6:59	This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

Acts 8: 26- 40

8:26	Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
8:27	And rising up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
8:28	And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
8:30	And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
8:31	And he said, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and sit with him.
8:32	Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
8:33	He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
8:34	Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
8:35	Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
8:36	And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
8:37	Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
8:38	And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.
8:39	And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, rejoicing.
8:40	Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.

John 6: 44- 51

6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
6:49	Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50	This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.

Acts 8: 1- 8

8:1	Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
8:2	But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
8:3	Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
8:4	Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
8:5	Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
8:6	And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
8:7	For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8:8	And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.

John 6: 35- 40

6:35	Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
6:36	But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
6:37	All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
6:38	For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39	Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
6:40	So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Acts 6: 8- 15

6:8	Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9	But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10	But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11	Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
6:12	And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
6:13	And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
6:14	For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
6:15	And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.

John 6: 22- 29

6:22	On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
6:23	Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
6:24	Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
6:25	And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
6:26	Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
6:27	Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
6:28	Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
6:29	Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”

Acts 5: 27- 32, 40 -41

5:27	And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
5:28	and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
5:29	But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
5:30	The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
5:31	It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
5:32	And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.

Revelation 5: 11- 14

5:11	And I saw, and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, (and their number was thousands of thousands)
5:12	saying with a great voice: “The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
5:13	And every creature that is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and all that is within the sea: I heard them all saying: “To the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and authority, forever and ever.”
5:14	And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces, and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.

John 21: 1- 19

21:1	After this, Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this way.
21:2	These were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called the Twin, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
21:3	Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “And we are going with you.” And they went and climbed into the ship. And in that night, they caught nothing.
21:4	But when morning arrived, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
21:5	Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any food?” They answered him, “No.”
21:6	He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find some.” Therefore, they cast it out, and then they were not able to draw it in, because of the multitude of fish.
21:7	Therefore, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he had heard that it was the Lord, wrapped his tunic around himself, (for he was naked) and he cast himself into the sea.
21:8	Then the other disciples arrived in a boat, (for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits) dragging the net with the fish.
21:9	Then, when they climbed down to the land they saw burning coals prepared, and fish already placed above them, and bread.
21:10	Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
21:11	Simon Peter climbed up and drew in the net to land: full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
21:12	Jesus said to them, “Approach and dine.” And not one of them sitting down to eat dared to ask him, “Who are you?” For they knew that it was the Lord.
21:13	And Jesus approached, and he took bread, and he gave it to them, and similarly with the fish.
21:14	This was now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he had resurrected from the dead.
21:15	Then, when they had dined, 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, “Feed my lambs.”
21:16	He said to him again: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
21:17	He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” And so he said to him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.
21:18	Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
21:19	Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, brothers, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, too, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

John 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

Acts 5: 34- 42

5:34	But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.
5:35	And he said to them: “Men of Israel, you should be careful in your intentions about these men.
5:36	For before these days, Theudas stepped forward, asserting himself to be someone, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined with him. But he was killed, and all who believed in him were scattered, and they were reduced to nothing.
5:37	After this one, Judas the Galilean stepped forward, in the days of the enrollment, and he turned the people toward himself. But he also perished, and all of them, as many as had joined with him, were dispersed.
5:38	And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.
5:39	Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.
5:40	And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
5:41	And indeed, they went forth from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer insult on behalf of the name of Jesus.
5:42	And every day, in the temple and among the houses, they did not cease to teach and to evangelize Christ Jesus.

John 6: 1- 15

6:1	After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
6:2	And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
6:3	Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
6:4	Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
6:5	And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
6:6	But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
6:7	Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
6:8	One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
6:9	“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
6:10	Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
6:11	Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
6:12	Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
6:13	And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
6:14	Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
6:15	And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.
