ਐਕਟ 9: 26-31
9:26 And when he had arrived in Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. 9:27 But Barnabas took him aside and led him to the Apostles. And he explained to them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him, and how, in Damascus, he had acted faithfully in the name of Jesus. 9:28 And he was with them, entering and departing Jerusalem, and acting faithfully in the name of the Lord. 9:29 He also was speaking with the Gentiles and disputing with the Greeks. But they were seeking to kill him. 9:30 And when the brothers had realized this, they brought him to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus. 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. First Letter of John 3: 18-24
3:18 My little sons, let us not love in words only, but in works and in truth. 3:19 In this way, we will know that we are of the truth, and we will commend our hearts in his sight. 3:20 For even if our heart reproaches us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things. 3:21 Most beloved, if our heart does not reproach us, we can have confidence toward God; 3:22 and whatever we shall request of him, we shall receive from him. For we keep his commandments, and we do the things that are pleasing in his sight. 3:23 And this is his commandment: that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 3:24 And those who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And we know that he abides in us by this: by the Spirit, whom he has given to us. ਜੌਨ 15: 1- 8
15:1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 15:2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he will take away. And each one that does bear fruit, he will cleanse, so that it may bring forth more fruit. 15:3 You are clean now, because of the word that I have spoken to you. 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so also are you unable, unless you abide in me. 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without me, you are able to do nothing. 15:6 If anyone does not abide in me, he will be cast away, like a branch, and he will wither, and they will gather him and cast him into the fire, and he burns. 15:7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 15:8 In this, my Father is glorified: that you should bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.

ਐਕਟ 13: 44- 52
13:44 ਫਿਰ ਵੀ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ, 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, ਵੇਖੋ, 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. ਜੌਨ 14: 7- 14
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. ਆਮੀਨ, 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.

The Acts of the Apostles 13: 26-33
13:26 Noble brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, it is to you the Word of this salvation has been sent. 13:27 For those who were living in Jerusalem, and its rulers, heeding neither him, nor the voices of the Prophets that are read on every Sabbath, fulfilled these by judging him. 13:28 And although they found no case for death against him, they petitioned Pilate, so that they might put him to death. 13:29 And when they had fulfilled everything that had been written about him, taking him down from the tree, they placed him in a tomb. 13:30 ਫਿਰ ਵੀ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ, God raised him up from the dead on the third day. 13:31 And he was seen for many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who even now are his witnesses to the people. 13:32 And we are announcing to you that the Promise, which was made to our fathers, 13:33 has been fulfilled by God for our children by raising up Jesus, just as it has been written in the second Psalm also: ‘You are my Son. This day I have begotten you.’ Gospel
The Holy Gospel According to John 14: 1-6
14:1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also. 14:2 In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, I would have told you. For I go to prepare a place for you. 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will return again, and then I will take you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be. 14:4 And you know where I am going. And you know the way.” 14:5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
