¹⁵So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
¹⁶He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
¹⁷He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
¹⁸Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
¹⁹Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
²⁰Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
²¹Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
²²Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
²³This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”
²⁴This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
²⁵There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.

¹⁹They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
²⁰For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
²¹Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
²²Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
²³For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.
²⁴The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.
²⁵He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.
²⁶He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,
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.
²⁸‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

¹⁹They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
²⁰But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
²¹The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
²²The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
²³who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
²⁴For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
²⁵Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
²⁶When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
²⁹As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
³⁰which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

¹⁹The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
²⁰Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.
²¹These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
²²Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
²³Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
²⁴Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
²⁵He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
²⁶If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
²⁷“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But I came to this time for this cause.
²⁸Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
²⁹Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
³⁰Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
³¹Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
³²And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
³³But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
³⁴The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of Man?”
³⁵Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
³⁶While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.

¹⁶Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
¹⁷The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
¹⁸He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
¹⁹Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
²⁰Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
²¹In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”
