13. How Shall Ye Believe My Words?

After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

 

 

***The 15th day of the third month***

***The first day of the week***

***Also, 6/04/30***

 

 

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For (it is written) an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, “Wilt thou be made whole?”

The impotent man answered him, “Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.”

Jesus saith unto him, “Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.”

And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, “It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.”

He answered them, “He that made me whole, the same said unto me, ‘Take up thy bed, and walk.’”

Then asked they him, “What man is that which said unto thee, ‘Take up thy bed, and walk?’”

And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, “Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.”

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

But Jesus answered them, “My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.”

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Then answered Jesus and said unto them, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, ‘The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.’ For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.”

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, ‘He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.’”

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, ‘The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.’ For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.”

“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have poihsanteV good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have praxanteV evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”

“Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.”

“But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.”

“But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me.”

“Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.”

“And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.”

“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”

“And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.”

“I receive not glory from men.”

“All I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory that cometh from God only?”

“Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?”

20. As Ye Would That Men Should Do to You, Do Ye Also to Them Likewise

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

 

 

***The 11th day of the third month***

***The second day of the week***

***Also, 5/21/31***

 

 

And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; And he ordained the twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils: Simon he surnamed Peter; And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: And Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus (even Lebbaeus Thaddeus, also called Judas (not Iscariot)) the brother of James, and Simon the Canaanite, also called Zelotes, And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, ‘He is beside himself.’

28. There Is Nothing from without tou Anqrwpou, That Entering into Auton Can Defile Auton

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, “Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.”

And he called the multitude, and said unto them, “Listen and consider: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth ton anqrwpon; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth ton anqrwpon.”

Then assembled unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

And when he had called all the multitude unto him, he said unto them, “Hearken unto me every one of you, and consider: There is nothing from without tou anqrwpou, that entering into auton can defile auton: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.”

75. I Will Pour Out of My Spirit Upon All Flesh

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, “Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?”

“And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.”

And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, “What meaneth this?”

Others mocking said, “These men are full of new wine.”

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, “Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; ‘‘And it shall come to pass in the last days,’ saith God, ‘I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’’”

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.”

“For David speaketh concerning him, ‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.’”

“Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.”

“This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.”

“Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.”

“For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, ‘The Lord said unto my Lord, ‘Sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.’’”

“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”

Then Peter said unto them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”

“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.”

And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this untoward generation.’

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

76. Where Jesus Had Appointed Them

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

 

 

77. And, Lo, I Am with You Alway, Even unto the End of the World.

Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat.

And he said unto them, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to all creation. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”

And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, “All authority is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”

“Go ye therefore, and maqhteusate all nations: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

Amen.
