Tindakan 6: 1- 7

6:1 Pada hari-hari itu, as the number of disciples was increasing, there occurred a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, because their widows were treated with disdain in the daily ministration.
6:2 And so the twelve, calling together the multitude of the disciples, dikatakan: “It is not fair for us to leave behind the Word of God to serve at tables also.
6:3 Karena itu, kakak beradik, search among yourselves for seven men of good testimony, filled with the Holy Spirit and with wisdom, whom we may appoint over this work.
6:4 Namun sungguh, we will be continually in prayer and in the ministry of the Word.”
6:5 And the plan pleased the entire multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and with the Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas, a new arrival from Antioch.
6:6 These they set before the sight of the Apostles, and while praying, they imposed hands on them.
6:7 And the Word of the Lord was increasing, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied exceedingly. And even a large group of the priests were obedient to the faith.

First Peter 2: 4- 9

2:4 And approaching him as if he were a living stone, rejected by men, tentu, but elect and honored by God,
2:5 be also yourselves like living stones, built upon him, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, so as to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
2:6 Karena ini, Scripture asserts: "Melihat, I am setting in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious. And whoever will have believed in him will not be confounded.”
2:7 Karena itu, to you who believe, he is honor. But to those who do not believe, the stone which the builders have rejected, the same has been made into the head of the corner,
2:8 and a stone of offense, and a rock of scandal, to those who are offended by the Word; neither do they believe, though they also have been built upon him.
2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, an acquired people, so that you may announce the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Yohanes 14: 1- 12

14:1 “Jangan biarkan hatimu gelisah. Anda percaya pada Tuhan. Percayalah padaku juga.
14:2 Di rumah Ayahku, terdapat banyak tempat tinggal. Jika tidak ada, Aku akan memberitahumu. Sebab Aku pergi untuk menyediakan tempat bagimu.
14:3 Dan jika saya pergi dan menyiapkan tempat untuk Anda, Saya akan kembali lagi, dan kemudian aku akan membawamu ke diriku sendiri, sehingga di mana saya berada, Anda juga mungkin.
14:4 Dan Anda tahu ke mana saya pergi. Dan kau tahu jalannya.”
14:5 kata Tomas kepadanya, "Yang mulia, kami tidak tahu ke mana Anda pergi, jadi bagaimana kita bisa tahu jalannya?”
14:6 kata Yesus kepadanya: “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, "Yang mulia, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9 kata Yesus kepadanya: “Have I been with you for so long, dan kamu belum mengenalku? 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. Amin, Amin, saya katakan kepada Anda, 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.
