SOCIAL SERVICES: Tips for being a Nurturing Parent — Seek Help if You Need It: Being a parent is difficult. No one expects you to know how to do it all. Challenges such unemployment or a child with special needs can add to family tension. If you think stress may be affecting the way you treat your child, or if you want the extra support that most parents need at some point, try the following:
– Talk to someone. Tell a friend, healthcare provider, or a leader in your faith community about what you are experiencing.
– Call a helpline. Most states have helplines for parents. Childhelp USA offers a national 24-hour hotline (1-800-4-A-CHILD) for parents who need help or parenting advice.
– Seek counseling. Individual, couple, or family counseling can identify and reinforce healthy ways to communicate and parent.
– Accept help. You do not have to do it all. Accept offers of help from trusted family, friends, and neighbors. Do not be afraid to ask for help if you feel that you need it.

The Ministry with Lesbian and Gay Catholics will be celebrating 20 years of ministry with a Special Multi-lingual Mass on Saturday, May 6, 2006 at 6:00pm, at Blessed Sacrament Church, 6657 Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, CA. Lumen Christi Awards will be presented to 8 persons in recognition of their significant contribution to this ministry.

THE RETURN OF EASTER: The return of Easter should be to the Christian life the call of a trumpet. It is the news of a great victory. It is the solution of a great perplexity. It is the assurance of a great triumph.–Frederick Temple

SERVICIOS SOCIALES: Consejos para ser un padre que apoya y participa en el desarrollo de sus hijos. Ser padre es difícil. Nadie espera que usted lo sepa todo. Los retos tales como el desempleo o niños con necesidades especiales pueden aumentar a la tensión dentro de la familia. Si usted piensa que el estrés puede afectar la manera que usted trata a su hijo, o si usted sólo desea un apoyo extra que muchos padres necesitan en cierto momento, intente lo siguiente:
– Hable con alguien. Dígale a un amigo, proveedor e salúud o líder de su comunidad religiosa acerca de lo que usted está pasando.
– Llame a una línea de ayuda. Muchos estados tienen líneas telefónicas de asistencia para los padres. Childhelp USA ofrece una línea telefónica de 24 horas (1-800-422-4453) para los padres que necesitan consejería sobre la crianza de niños.
– Busque consejería. La consejería individual de parejas o de familias puede identificar y reforzar formas saludables para comunicarse y criar a sus hijos.

17I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.
Acts 2:14,22-33
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
14But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words.
22Ye 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 you also know:
23This same being delivered up, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.
24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it.
25For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.
26For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.
30Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.
31Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.
32This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.
33Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.
Matthew 28:8-15
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
8And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples.
9And behold Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet, and adored him.
10Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, there they shall see me.
11Who when they were departed, behold some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all things that had been done.
12And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers,
13Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night, and stole him away when we were asleep.
14And if the governor shall hear this, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day.
Acts 2:36-41
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
36Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.
37Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?
38But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.
40And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
41They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
John 20:11-18

11But Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping. Now as she was weeping, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
12And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.
13They say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them: Because they have taken away my Lord; and I know not where they have laid him.
14When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing; and she knew not that it was Jesus.
15Jesus saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, thinking it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16Jesus saith to her: Mary. She turning, saith to him: Rabboni (which is to say, Master).
17Jesus saith to her: Do not touch me, for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God.
18Mary Magdalen cometh, and telleth the disciples: I have seen the Lord, and these things he said to me.
Acts 3:1-10
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
1Now Peter and John went up into the temple at the ninth hour of prayer.
2And a certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb, was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple.
3He, when he had seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms.
4But Peter with John fastening his eyes upon him, said: Look upon us.
5But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them.
6But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise, and walk.
7And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet and soles received strength.
8And he leaping up, stood, and walked, and went in with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9And all the people saw him walking and praising God.
10And they knew him, that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.
Luke 24:13-35
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
13And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.
14And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15And it came to pass, that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also drawing near, went with them.
16But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.
17And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk, and are sad?
18And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger to Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?
19To 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;
20And how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21But we hoped, that it was he that should have redeemed Israel: and now besides all this, today is the third day since these things were done.
22Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us, who before it was light, were at the sepulchre,
23And not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive.
24And some of our people went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said, but him they found not.
25Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the prophets have spoken.
26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into his glory?
27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things that were concerning him.
28And they drew night to the town, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther.
29But 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.
30And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them.
31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him: and he vanished out of their sight.
32And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in this way, and opened to us the scriptures?
33And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were staying with them,
34Saying: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread.
Acts 3:11-26

11And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them to the porch which is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
12But Peter seeing, made answer to the people: Ye men of Israel, why wonder you at this? or why look you upon us, as if by our strength or power we had made this man to walk?
13The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released.
14But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you.
15But the author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.
16And in the faith of his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, hath his name strengthened; and the faith which is by him, hath given this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.
17And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance, as did also your rulers.
18But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19Be penitent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.
20That when the times of refreshment shall come from the presence of the Lord, and he shall send him who hath been preached unto you, Jesus Christ,
21Whom heaven indeed must receive, until the times of the restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the beginning of the world.
22For Moses said: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me: him you shall hear according to all things whatsoever he shall speak to you.
23And it shall be, that every soul which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24And all the prophets, from Samuel and afterwards, who have spoken, have told of these days.
25You are the children of the prophets, and of the testament which God made to our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26To you first God, raising up his Son, hath sent him to bless you; that every one may convert himself from his wickedness.
Luke 24:35-48

35And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread.
36Now 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.
37But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.
38And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39See 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.
40And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet.
41But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing to eat?
42And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb.
43And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.
44And 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.
45Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
46And 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:
47And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48And you are witnesses of these things.
Acts 4:1-12

1And as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the officer of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead:
3And they laid hands upon them, and put them in hold till the next day; for it was now evening.
4But many of them who had heard the word, believed; and the number of the men was made five thousand.
5And it came to pass on the morrow, that their princes, and ancients, and scribes, were gathered together in Jerusalem;
6And Annas the high priest, and Caiphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.
7And setting them in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name, have you done this?
8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them: Ye princes of the people, and ancients, hear:
9If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole:
10Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him this man standeth here before you whole.
11This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.

1After this, Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he shewed himself after this manner.
2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas, who is called Didymus, and Nathanael, who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
3Simon Peter saith to them: I go a fishing. They say to him: We also come with thee. And they went forth, and entered into the ship: and that night they caught nothing.
4But when the morning was come, Jesus stood on the shore: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5Jesus therefore said to them: Children, have you any meat? They answered him: No.
6He saith to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and you shall find. They cast therefore; and now they were not able to draw it, for the multitude of fishes.
7That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved, said to Peter: It is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him, (for he was naked,) and cast himself into the sea.
8But the other disciples came in the ship, (for they were not far from the land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
9As soon then as they came to land, they saw hot coals lying, and a fish laid thereon, and bread.
10Jesus saith to them: Bring hither of the fishes which you have now caught.
11Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, one hundred and fifty-three. And although there were so many, the net was not broken.
12Jesus saith to them: Come, and dine. And none of them who were at meat, durst ask him: Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13And Jesus cometh and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish in like manner.
14This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.
Acts 4:13-21

13Now seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered; and they knew them that they had been with Jesus.
14Seeing the man also who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15But they commanded them to go aside out of the council; and they conferred among themselves,
16Saying: What shall we do to these men? for indeed a known miracle hath been done by them, to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: it is manifest, and we cannot deny it.
17But that it may be no farther spread among the people, let us threaten them that they speak no more in this name to any man.
18And calling them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19But Peter and John answering, said to them: If it be just in the sight of God, to hear you rather than God, judge ye.
20For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
21But they threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass.

9But he rising early the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary Magdalen, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
10She went and told them that had been with him, who were mourning and weeping.
11And they hearing that he was alive, and had been seen by her, did not believe.
12And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them walking, as they were going into the country.
13And they going told it to the rest: neither did they believe them.
14At length he appeared to the eleven as they were at table: and he upbraided them with their incredulity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe them who had seen him after he was risen again.
15And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

32And the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul: neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed, was his own; but all things were common unto them.
33And with great power did the apostles give testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord; and great grace was in them all.
34For neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold,
35And laid it down before the feet of the apostles. And distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.

1After these things was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches.
3In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered; waiting for the moving of the water.
4And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water, was made whole, of whatsoever infirmity he lay under.
5And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.
6Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole?

19Now when it was late that same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you.
20And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.
21He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.
22When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
23Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.
24Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be to you.
27Then he saith to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither, and see my hands; and bring hither thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.
28Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God.
29Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed.
30Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
31But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his name.

8And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples.
9And behold Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet, and adored him.
10Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, there they shall see me.
11Who when they were departed, behold some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all things that had been done.
12And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers,
13Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night, and stole him away when we were asleep.
14And if the governor shall hear this, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day.

11But Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping. Now as she was weeping, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
12And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.
13They say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them: Because they have taken away my Lord; and I know not where they have laid him.
14When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing; and she knew not that it was Jesus.
15Jesus saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, thinking it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16Jesus saith to her: Mary. She turning, saith to him: Rabboni (which is to say, Master).
17Jesus saith to her: Do not touch me, for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God.

1After this, Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he shewed himself after this manner.
2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas, who is called Didymus, and Nathanael, who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
3Simon Peter saith to them: I go a fishing. They say to him: We also come with thee. And they went forth, and entered into the ship: and that night they caught nothing.
4But when the morning was come, Jesus stood on the shore: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5Jesus therefore said to them: Children, have you any meat? They answered him: No.
6He saith to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and you shall find. They cast therefore; and now they were not able to draw it, for the multitude of fishes.
7That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved, said to Peter: It is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him, (for he was naked,) and cast himself into the sea.
8But the other disciples came in the ship, (for they were not far from the land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
9As soon then as they came to land, they saw hot coals lying, and a fish laid thereon, and bread.
10Jesus saith to them: Bring hither of the fishes which you have now caught.
11Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, one hundred and fifty-three. And although there were so many, the net was not broken.
12Jesus saith to them: Come, and dine. And none of them who were at meat, durst ask him: Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13And Jesus cometh and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish in like manner.
14This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.

1Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him.
2In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy.
4For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.
5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth, that Christ is the truth.

    14But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words.
    22Ye 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 you also know:
    23This same being delivered up, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.
    24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it.
    25For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.
    26For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
    27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
    28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
    29Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.
    30Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.
    31Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.
    32This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.
    33Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.

    38But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
    39For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.

    1Now Peter and John went up into the temple at the ninth hour of prayer.
    2And a certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb, was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple.
    3He, when he had seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms.
    4But Peter with John fastening his eyes upon him, said: Look upon us.
    5But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them.
    6But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise, and walk.
    7And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet and soles received strength.
    8And he leaping up, stood, and walked, and went in with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

    14And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
    15And it came to pass, that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also drawing near, went with them.
    16But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.
    17And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk, and are sad?
    18And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger to Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?
    19To 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;
    20And how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
    21But we hoped, that it was he that should have redeemed Israel: and now besides all this, today is the third day since these things were done.
    22Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us, who before it was light, were at the sepulchre,
    23And not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive.
    24And some of our people went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said, but him they found not.
    25Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the prophets have spoken.
    26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into his glory?
    27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things that were concerning him.
    28And they drew night to the town, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther.
    29But 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.
    30And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them.
    31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him: and he vanished out of their sight.
