42And they were persevering in the teaching of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all.

44And all those who believed, were together, and had all things common.

45Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.

46And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they took their food with gladness and simplicity of heart;

47Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord increased daily together such as should be saved.

2Let Israel now say that he is good: that his mercy lasts forever.

3Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy lasts forever.

4Let them that fear the Lord now say, that his mercy lasts forever.

13Being pushed I was overturned that I might fall: but the Lord supported me.

14The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation.

15The voice of rejoicing and of salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous.

22The stone which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner.

23This is the Lord's doing: and it is wonderful in our eyes.

24This is the day which the Lord has made: let us be glad and rejoice in it.

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has regenerated us to a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4To an gift incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you,

5Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith to salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.

6In which you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:

7That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found to praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

8Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;

9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

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 showed 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 has sent me, I also send you.

22When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive you 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 comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be to you.

27Then he says to Thomas: Put in your finger here, and see my hands; and bring here your 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 says to him: Because you have seen me, Thomas, you have believed: blessed are those that have not seen, and have believed.

30Many other signs also did Jesus before 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.
