Luke 20:12 And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also and cast him out. Luke 20:13 Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be, when they see him, they will reverence him. Luke 20:14 Whom, when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. Luke 20:15 So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? Luke 20:16 He will come and will destroy these husbandmen and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid. Luke 20:17 But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Luke 20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Luke 20:19 And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them.
Luke 20:20 And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor. Luke 20:21 And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth. Luke 20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no? Luke 20:23 But he, considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me? Luke 20:24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him: Caesar's. Luke 20:25 And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things, that are Caesar's: and to God the things that are God's. Luke 20:26 And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace. Luke 20:27 And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection: and they asked him, Luke 20:28 Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
Luke 20:29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died without children. Luke 20:30 And the next took her to wife: and he also died childless. Luke 20:31 And the third took her. And in like manner, all the seven: and they left no children and died. Luke 20:32 Last of all the woman died also. Luke 20:33 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife. Luke 20:34 And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry and are given in marriage: Luke 20:35 But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world and of the resurrection from the dead shall neither be married nor take wives. Luke 20:36 Neither can they die any more for they are equal to the angels and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Luke 20:37 Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed at the bush, when he called the Lord: The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Luke 20:38 For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him. Luke 20:39 And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well. Luke 20:40 And after that they durst not ask him any more questions. Luke 20:41 But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?
Luke 20:42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, Luke 20:43 Till I make thy enemies thy footstool. Luke 20:44 David then calleth him Lord. And how is he his son? Luke 20:45 And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples: Luke 20:46 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes and love salutations in the market place and the first chairs in the synagogues and the chief rooms at feasts: Luke 20:47 Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation. Luke 21:1 And looking on, he saw the rich men cast their gifts into the treasury. Luke 21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in two brass mites. Luke 21:3 And he said: Verily, I say to you that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all. Luke 21:4 For all these have of their abundance cast into the offerings of God: but she of her want hath cast in all the living that she had. Luke 21:5 And some saying of the temple that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said: Luke 21:6 These things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.
Luke 21:7 And they asked him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when they shall begin to come to pass? Luke 21:8 Who said: Take heed you be not seduced: for many will come in my name, saying: I am he and the time is at hand. Go ye not therefore after them. Luke 21:9 And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified. These things must first come to pass: but the end is not yet presently. Luke 21:10 Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Luke 21:11 And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places and pestilences and famines and terrors from heaven: and there shall be great signs. Luke 21:12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name's sake. Luke 21:13 And it shall happen unto you for a testimony. Luke 21:14 Lay it up therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer: Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.
Luke 21:16 And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren and kinsmen and friends: and some of you they will put to death. Luke 21:17 And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. Luke 21:18 But a hair of your head shall not perish. Luke 21:19 In your patience you shall possess your souls. Luke 21:20 And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army, then know that the desolation thereof is at hand. Luke 21:21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains: and those who are in the midst thereof depart out: and those who are in the countries not enter into it. Luke 21:22 For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written. Luke 21:23 But woe to them that are with child and give suck in those days: for there shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captives into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles till the times of the nations be fulfilled.
Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea, and of the waves: Luke 21:26 Men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved. Luke 21:27 And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty. Luke 21:28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand. Luke 21:29 And he spoke to them a similitude. See the fig tree and all the trees: Luke 21:30 When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh; Luke 21:31 So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand. Luke 21:32 Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away till all things be fulfilled. Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and the cares of this life: and that day come upon you suddenly. Luke 21:35 For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.
Luke 21:36 Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:37 And in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple: but at night going out, he abode in the mount that is called Olivet. Luke 21:38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him. Luke 22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the pasch, was at hand. Luke 22:2 And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people. Luke 22:3 And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve. Luke 22:4 And he went and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them. Luke 22:5 And they were glad and covenanted to give him money. Luke 22:6 And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude. Luke 22:7 And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed. Luke 22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat. Luke 22:9 But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare?
Luke 22:10 And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in. Luke 22:11 And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee: Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples? Luke 22:12 And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished. And there prepare. Luke 22:13 And they going, found as he had said to them and made ready the pasch. Luke 22:14 And when the hour was come, he sat down: and the twelve apostles with him. Luke 22:15 And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer. Luke 22:16 For I say to you that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. Luke 22:17 And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks and said: Take and divide it among you. Luke 22:18 For I say to you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come. Luke 22:19 And taking bread, he gave thanks and brake and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.
Luke 22:20 In like manner, the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you. Luke 22:21 But yet behold: the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. Luke 22:22 And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed. Luke 22:23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. Luke 22:24 And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater. Luke 22:25 And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them are called beneficent. Luke 22:26 But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger: and he that is the leader, as he that serveth. Luke 22:27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at table or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth. Luke 22:28 And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations: Luke 22:29 And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom; Luke 22:30 That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:31 And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren. Luke 22:33 Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison and to death. Luke 22:34 And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them: Luke 22:35 When I sent you without purse and scrip and shoes, did you want anything? Luke 22:36 But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and he that hath not, let him sell his coat and buy a sword. Luke 22:37 For I say to you that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me. And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end. Luke 22:38 But they said: Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them: It is enough. Luke 22:39 And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
Luke 22:40 And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation. Luke 22:41 And he was withdrawn away from them a stone's cast. And kneeling down, he prayed. Luke 22:42 Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done. Luke 22:43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer. Luke 22:44 And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground. Luke 22:45 And when he rose up from prayer and was come to the disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow. Luke 22:46 And he said to them: Why sleep you? Arise: pray: lest you enter into temptation. Luke 22:47 As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him. Luke 22:48 And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss? Luke 22:49 And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword? Luke 22:50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. Luke 22:51 But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
Luke 22:52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and magistrates of the temple and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs? Luke 22:53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour and the power of darkness. Luke 22:54 And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off. Luke 22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them. Luke 22:56 Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him. Luke 22:57 But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not. Luke 22:58 And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not. Luke 22:59 And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him: for he is also a Galilean. Luke 22:60 And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew.
Luke 22:61 And the Lord turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny thrice. Luke 22:62 And Peter going out, wept bitterly. Luke 22:63 And the men that held him mocked him and struck him. Luke 22:64 And they blindfolded him and smote his face. And they asked him saying: Prophesy: Who is it that struck thee? Luke 22:65 And blaspheming, many other things they said against him. Luke 22:66 And as soon as it was day, the ancients of the people and the chief priests and scribes came together. And they brought him into their council saying: If thou be the Christ, tell us. Luke 22:67 And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me. Luke 22:68 And if I shall also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go. Luke 22:69 But hereafter the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God. Luke 22:70 Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who said: You say that I am. Luke 22:71 And they said: What need we any further testimony? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth. Luke 23:1 And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.
Luke 23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar and saying that he is Christ the king. Luke 23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it. Luke 23:4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no cause in this man. Luke 23:5 But they were more earnest, saying: He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place. Luke 23:6 But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee? Luke 23:7 And when he understood that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem in those days. Luke 23:8 And Herod seeing Jesus, was very glad: for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him. Luke 23:9 And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing. Luke 23:10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, earnestly accusing him. Luke 23:11 And Herod with his army set him at nought and mocked him, putting on him a white garment: and sent him back to Pilate.
Luke 23:12 And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day: for before they were enemies one to another. Luke 23:13 And Pilate, calling together the chief priests and the magistrates and the people, Luke 23:14 Said to them: You have presented unto me this man as one that perverteth the people. And behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him. Luke 23:15 No, nor Herod neither. For, I sent you to him: and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him. Luke 23:16 I will chastise him therefore and release him. Luke 23:17 Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day. Luke 23:18 But the whole multitude together cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: Luke 23:19 Who, for a certain sedition made in the city and for a murder, was cast into prison. Luke 23:20 And Pilate again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus. Luke 23:21 But they cried again, saying: Crucify him, Crucify him. Luke 23:22 And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore and let him go.
Luke 23:23 But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed. Luke 23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. Luke 23:25 And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition had been cast into prison, whom they had desired. But Jesus he delivered up to their will. Luke 23:26 And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus. Luke 23:27 And there followed him a great multitude of people and of women, who bewailed and lamented him. Luke 23:28 But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves and for your children. Luke 23:29 For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren and the wombs that have not borne and the paps that have not given suck. Luke 23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains: Fall upon us. And to the hills: Cover us. Luke 23:31 For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry? Luke 23:32 And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.
Luke 23:33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified him there: and the robbers, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Luke 23:34 And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots. Luke 23:35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers with them derided him, saying: He saved others: let him save himself, if he be Christ, the elect of God. Luke 23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar, Luke 23:37 And saying: If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. Luke 23:38 And there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Luke 23:39 And one of those robbers who were hanged blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. Luke 23:40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing; thou art under the same condemnation? Luke 23:41 And we indeed justly: for we receive the due reward of our deeds. But this man hath done no evil. Luke 23:42 And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.
Luke 23:43 And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee: This day thou shalt be with me in paradise. Luke 23:44 And it was almost the sixth hour: and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. Luke 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. Luke 23:46 And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost. Luke 23:47 Now, the centurion, seeing what was done, glorified God, saying: Indeed this was a just man. Luke 23:48 And all the multitude of them that were come together to that sight and saw the things that were done returned, striking their breasts. Luke 23:49 And all his acquaintance and the women that had followed him from Galilee stood afar off, beholding these things. Luke 23:50 And behold there was a man named Joseph who was a counsellor, a good and a just man, Luke 23:51 (The same had not consented to their counsel and doings) of Arimathea, a city of Judea: who also himself looked for the kingdom of God. Luke 23:52 This man went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. Luke 23:53 And taking him down, he wrapped him in fine linen and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewed in stone, wherein never yet any man had been laid.
Luke 23:54 And it was the day of the Parasceve: and the sabbath drew on. Luke 23:55 And the women that were come with him from Galilee, following after, saw the sepulchre and how his body was laid. Luke 23:56 And returning, they prepared spices and ointments: and on the sabbath day they rested, according to the commandment. Luke 24:1 And on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared. Luke 24:2 And they found the stone rolled back from the sepulchre. Luke 24:3 And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. Luke 24:4 And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold, two men stood by them, in shining apparel. Luke 24:5 And as they were afraid and bowed down their countenance towards the ground, they said unto them: Why seek you the living with the dead? Luke 24:6 He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto you, when he was yet in Galilee, Luke 24:7 Saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and the third day rise again. Luke 24:8 And they remembered his words. Luke 24:9 And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
Luke 24:10 And it was Mary Magdalen and Joanna and Mary of James and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles. Luke 24:11 And these words seemed to them as idle tales: and they did not believe them. Luke 24:12 But Peter rising up, ran to the sepulchre and, stooping down, he saw the linen cloths laid by themselves: and went away wondering in himself at that which was come to pass. Luke 24:13 And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus. Luke 24:14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. Luke 24:15 And it came to pass that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also, drawing near, went with them. Luke 24:16 But their eyes were held, that they should not know him. Luke 24:17 And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk and are sad? Luke 24:18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?
Luke 24:19 To whom he said: What things? And they said: Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people. Luke 24:20 And how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death and crucified him. Luke 24:21 But we hoped that it was he that should have redeemed Israel. And now besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done. Luke 24:22 Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us who, before it was light, were at the sepulchre, Luke 24:23 And not finding his body, came, saying that they had all seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive. Luke 24:24 And some of our people went to the sepulchre and found it so as the women had said: but him they found not. Luke 24:25 Then he said to them: O foolish and slow of heart to believe in all things, Which the prophets have spoken. Luke 24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and so, to enter into his glory? Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things that were concerning him. Luke 24:28 And they drew nigh to the town whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther.
Luke 24:29 But they constrained him, saying: Stay with us, because it is towards evening and the day is now far spent. And he went in with them. Luke 24:30 And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread and blessed and brake and gave to them. Luke 24:31 And their eyes were opened: and they knew him. And he vanished out of their sight. Luke 24:32 And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in the way and opened to us the scriptures? Luke 24:33 And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were with them, Luke 24:34 Saying: The Lord is risen indeed and hath appeared to Simon. Luke 24:35 And they told what things were done in the way: and how they knew him in the breaking of bread. Luke 24:36 Now, whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them and saith to them: Peace be to you. It is I: Fear not. Luke 24:37 But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit. Luke 24:38 And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Luke 24:39 See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have. Luke 24:40 And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet. Luke 24:41 But while they yet believed not and wondered for joy, he said: Have you here any thing to eat? Luke 24:42 And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish and a honeycomb. Luke 24:43 And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them. Luke 24:44 And he said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, concerning me. Luke 24:45 Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. Luke 24:46 And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead, the third day: Luke 24:47 And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Luke 24:48 And you are witnesses of these things. Luke 24:49 And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high.
Luke 24:50 And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. Luke 24:51 And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, he departed from them and was carried up to heaven. Luke 24:52 And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy. Luke 24:53 And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word: and the Word was with God: and the Word was God. John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. John 1:3 All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made. John 1:4 In him was life: and the life was the light of men. John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. John 1:7 This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him. John 1:8 He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light. John 1:9 That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. John 1:10 He was in the world: and the world was made by him: and the world knew him not. John 1:11 He came unto his own: and his own received him not. John 1:12 But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. John 1:13 Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth. John 1:15 John beareth witness of him and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me is preferred before me: because he was before me. John 1:16 And of his fulness we all have received: and grace for grace.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the Bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 1:19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou? John 1:20 And he confessed and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ. John 1:21 And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No. John 1:22 They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself? John 1:23 He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias. John 1:24 And they that were sent were of the Pharisees. John 1:25 And they asked him and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet? John 1:26 John answered them, saying: I baptize with water: but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not. John 1:27 The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.
John 1:28 These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. John 1:29 The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him; and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. Behold him who taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:30 This is he of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me. John 1:31 And I knew him not: but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. John 1:32 And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven; and he remained upon him. John 1:33 And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. John 1:34 And I saw: and I gave testimony that this is the Son of God. John 1:35 The next day again John stood and two of his disciples. John 1:36 And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. John 1:37 And the two disciples heard him speak: and they followed Jesus.
John 1:38 And Jesus turning and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him: Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where dwellest thou? John 1:39 He saith to them: Come and see. They came and saw where he abode: and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about the tenth hour. John 1:40 And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John and followed him. John 1:41 He findeth first his brother Simon and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona. Thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter. John 1:43 On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee: and he findeth Philip, And Jesus saith to him: follow me. John 1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. John 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses, in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth. John 1:46 And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.
