the world, but that thou keep them from evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word; that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us that the world may believe that thou didst send me. And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.

Father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me; for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me. And I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.

JOHN XIV, XX

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me. I will not leave you desolate;

I come unto you. In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. If any man loveth me, I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.

When therefore Jesus was risen from the dead, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when he had said this, he manifested unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.

But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciple therefore came and told him, saying, We have seen the Lord! But Thomas said unto them, Except I myself shall see in his hands the prints of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

Now after eight days again the disciples were within, and Thomas was with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God! Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

THE ACTS

OF THE APOSTLES

ACTS II

Now when the day of Pentecost was fully come, the apostles were all with one accord in one place. And they went up into the upper chamber; and were continuing stedfastly with one accord in prayer. And suddenly there came

a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem devout men, out of every nation under heaven. And

when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were astonished, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galileans? And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judæa and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we do

hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God. And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this? Then Peter lifted up his voice, and spake unto them, saying:

Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words. For this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel:

It shall come to pass in the latter days, saith the Lord,

That I will pour forth my Spirit upon all flesh;

And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

And your young men shall see visions,

And your old men shall dream dreams:
Yea, and upon my servants and upon my
handmaids

In those days will I pour forth my Spirit.

And the promise is to you, and to your children, and to them that are afar off, even as many as shall call upon the name of the Lord.

ACTS III

Now Peter and John were going up together into the temple at the hour of prayer. And a certain man lame from birth was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple. And when he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked

to receive an alms of them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength. And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God: and they took knowledge of him, that it was he that sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this man? or why fasten ye your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk? The God of our fathers hath glorified his servant Jesus. And by faith in his name hath his name made this man strong, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is through him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

ACTS IV, V

And as Peter and John spake unto the people, the priests and the captain of the temple
