Acts 2:26

26For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Acts 11:1-18
View in: NAB
1And the apostles and brethren, who were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
2And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3Saying: Why didst thou go in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them?
4But Peter began and declared to them the matter in order, saying:
5I was in the city of Joppe praying, and I saw in an ecstasy of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even unto me.
6Into which looking, I considered, and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth, and beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air:
7And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
8And I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.
9And the voice answered again from heaven: What God hath made clean, do not thou call common.
10And this was done three times: and all were taken up again into heaven.
11And behold, immediately there were three men come to the house wherein I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
12And the Spirit said to me, that I should go with them, nothing doubting. And these six brethren went with me also: and we entered into the man’s house.
13And he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing, and saying to him: Send to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
14Who shall speak to thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.
15And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning.
16And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17If then God gave them the same grace, as to us also who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, that could withstand God?
18Having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying: God then hath also to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.
John 10:11-18
View in: NAB
11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
12But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth: and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep:
13And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.
14I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me.
15As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.
16And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.
17Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself, and I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
Acts 11:19-26
View in: NAB
19Now they who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose on occasion of Stephen, went about as far as Phenice and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none, but to the Jews only.
20But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were entered into Antioch, spoke also to the Greeks, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believing, were converted to the Lord.
22And the tidings came to the ears of the church that was at Jerusalem, touching these things: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
23Who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced: and he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord.
24For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
25And Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Saul: whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch.
26And they conversed there in the church a whole year; and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians.
John 10:22-30

22And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: and it was winter.
23And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24The Jews therefore came round about him, and said to him: How long dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.
26But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
27My sheep hear my voice: and I know them, and they follow me.
28And I give them life everlasting; and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall pluck them out of my hand.
29That which my Father hath given me, is greater than all: and no one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father.
30I and the Father are one.

44But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me.
45And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
46I am come a light into the world; that whosoever believeth in me, may not remain in darkness.
47And if any man hear my words, and keep them not, I do not judge him: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48He that despiseth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.
50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak.
Acts 13:13-25

13Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.
14But they passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down.
15And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak.
16Then Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.
17The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out from thence,
18And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert.
19And destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, divided their land among them, by lot,
20As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet.
21And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.
22And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.
23Of this man’s seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.
25And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
John 13:16-20
View in: NAB
16Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
17If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.
18I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me, shall lift up his heel against me.
19At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
20Amen, amen I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

26Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent.
27For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.
28And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.
29And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.
30But God raised him up from the dead the third day:
31Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.
32And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,
33This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

1Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be.
4And whither I go you know, and the way you know.
5Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.

View in: NAB
44But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God.
45And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.
46Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles.
47For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.
48And the Gentiles hearing it, were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting, believed.
49And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country.
50But the Jews stirred up religious and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas: and cast them out of their coasts.
51But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.
52And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.

7If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father also: and from henceforth you shall know him, and you have seen him.

10Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works.
11Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
12Otherwise believe for the very works’ sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he do.
13Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.
Acts 6:1-7

1And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2Then the twelve calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5And the saying was liked by all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch.
6These they set before the apostles; and they praying, imposed hands upon them.
7And the word of the Lord increased; and the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly: a great multitude also of the priests obeyed the faith.

4Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and made honourable by God:

6Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded.
7To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
8And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.

48He that despiseth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.
50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak.
John 13:16-20

16Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
17If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.
18I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me, shall lift up his heel against me.
19At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
20Amen, amen I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

1Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be.
4And whither I go you know, and the way you know.
5Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.

7If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father also: and from henceforth you shall know him, and you have seen him.
8Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father, and it is enough for us.
9Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you; and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou, Shew us the Father?
10Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works.
11Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
12Otherwise believe for the very works’ sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he do.
13Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.

4Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and made honourable by God:
5Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded.
7To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
8And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.
9But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
