11:1Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha. ^11:2It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick. ^11:3The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for whom you have affection is sick." ^11:4But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it." ^11:5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. ^11:6When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed at that time two days in the place where he was. ^11:7Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let’s go into Judea again."

11:24Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

12:9A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. ^12:10But the chief priests conspired to also put Lazarus to death, ^12:11because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

12:17The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying. ^12:18For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

20:1Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was yet dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb. ^20:2She ran therefore, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!"

21:1After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way. ^21:2Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. ^21:3Simon Peter said to them, "I’m going fishing."

They told him, "We are also coming with you." They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing. ^21:4But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus. ^21:5Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?"

They answered him, "No."

21:11Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.

3:11As the lame man who was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

4:1As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them, ^4:2being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. ^4:3They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening. ^4:4But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

10:34Peter opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism; ^10:35but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him. ^10:36The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ — he is Lord of all — ^10:37that spoken word you yourselves know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; ^10:38even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. ^10:39We are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree. ^10:40God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed, ^10:41not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. ^10:42He charged us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead. ^10:43All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins."

13:16Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen. ^13:17The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it. ^13:18For about the time of forty years he put up with them in the wilderness. ^13:19When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred fifty years. ^13:20After these things he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. ^13:21Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. ^13:22When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’ ^13:23From this man’s seed, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise, ^13:24before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ^13:25As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’ ^13:26Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you. ^13:27For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. ^13:28Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed. ^13:29When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb. ^13:30But God raised him from the dead, ^13:31and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people. ^13:32We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers, ^13:33that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm,

‘You are my Son.
Today I have become your father.’

13:34"Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’ ^13:35Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’ ^13:36For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw decay. ^13:37But he whom God raised up saw no decay. ^13:38Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins, ^13:39and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. ^13:40Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:

17:1Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. ^17:2Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures, ^17:3explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer, and to rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ."

17:22Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus, and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things. ^17:23For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you. ^17:24The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands, ^17:25neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things. ^17:26He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation, ^17:27that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ^17:28‘For in him we live, and move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’ ^17:29Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and device of man. ^17:30The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all men everywhere should repent, ^17:31because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead."

17:32Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We want to hear you yet again concerning this."

23:6But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!"

24:10When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, "Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense, ^24:11seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem. ^24:12In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city. ^24:13Nor can they prove to you the things whereof they now accuse me. ^24:14But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets; ^24:15having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. ^24:16Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men. ^24:17Now after some years, I came to bring gifts to the needy to my nation, and offerings; ^24:18amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult. ^24:19They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me. ^24:20Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council, ^24:21unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’"

26:1Agrippa said to Paul, "You may speak for yourself."

Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense. ^26:2"I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you this day concerning all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews, ^26:3especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.

26:19"Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, ^26:20but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance. ^26:21For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple, and tried to kill me. ^26:22Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses did say should come, ^26:23how the Christ must suffer, and how he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles."

28:9As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!"
