The Acts of the Apostles 5: 27-33

5:27	And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
5:28	ka mea: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. Inaha hoki, 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.”
5:33	When they had heard these things, they were deeply wounded, and they were planning to put them to death.

The Holy Gospel According to John 3: 31-36

3:31	Ko ia e haere mai ana i runga, kei runga ake i nga mea katoa. Ko ia no raro, no te whenua, e korero ana ia mo te whenua. Ko ia e haere mai ana i te rangi kei runga ake i nga mea katoa.
3:32	Me nga mea i kite ai, i rongo ai ia, e whakaatu ana ia mo tenei. A kahore tetahi e tango i tana whakaaturanga.
3:33	Ki te whakaae tetahi ki tana whakaaturanga, kua whakaae ia he pono te Atua.
3:34	Ko ta te Atua i tono mai ai, e korero ana ia i nga kupu a te Atua. E kore hoki te Wairua e homai e te Atua i runga i te mehua.
3:35	E aroha ana te Matua ki te Tama, kua hoatu ano e ia nga mea katoa ki tona ringa.
3:36	Ko te tangata e whakapono ana ki te Tama, he ora tonu tona. Tena ko te tangata e kore e whakapono ki te Tama, e kore ia e kite i te ora; engari ka mau tonu te riri o te Atua ki runga ki a ia.
