Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spirit<n id="1" /> will receive from me what is mine<n id="2" /> and will tell it to you.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;I have told you these things in obscure figures of speech;<n id="1" /> a time<n id="2" /> is coming when I will no longer speak to you in obscure figures, but will tell you<n id="3" /> plainly<n id="4" /> about the Father.

At that time<n id="1" /> you will ask in my name, and I do not say<n id="2" /> that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

And now, Father, glorify me at your side<n id="1" /> with the glory I had with you before the world was created.<n id="2" />p>

Righteous Father, even if the world does not know you, I know you, and these men<n id="1" /> know that you sent me.

So Jesus said to them again, &#8220;Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, I also send you.&#8221;

While he was with them,<n id="1" /> he declared,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Do not leave Jerusalem,<n id="3" /> but wait there<n id="4" /> for what my<n id="5" /> Father promised,<n id="6" /> which you heard about from me.<n id="7" />

He told them, &#8220;You are not permitted to know<n id="1" /> the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority.

who said by the Holy Spirit through<n id="1" /> your servant David our forefather,<n id="2" />p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8216;<b><i>Why do the nationsi>b><n id="3" /> <b><i>rage,i>b><n id="4" />p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>and the peoples plot foolishi>b><n id="5" /> <b><i>things?i>b>p>

Then a famine occurred throughout<n id="1" /> Egypt and Canaan, causing<n id="2" /> great suffering, and our<n id="3" /> ancestors<n id="4" /> could not find food.

This was the one who exploited<n id="1" /> our people<n id="2" /> and was cruel to our ancestors,<n id="3" /> forcing them to abandon<n id="4" /> their infants so they would die.<n id="5" />

At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful<n id="1" /> to God. For<n id="2" /> three months he was brought up in his father&#8217;s house,

&#8216;<b><i>I am the God of your forefathers,i>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>the God of Abraham, Isaac,i>b><n id="2" /> <b><i>and Jacobi>b>.&#8217;<n id="3" /> Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look more closely.<n id="4" />

Our<n id="1" /> ancestors<n id="2" /> were unwilling to obey<n id="3" /> him, but pushed him aside<n id="4" /> and turned back to Egypt in their hearts,

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;You stubborn<n id="1" /> people, with uncircumcised<n id="2" /> hearts and ears!<n id="3" /> You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, like your ancestors<n id="4" /> did!

And we proclaim to you the good news about the promise to our ancestors,<n id="1" />

For David, after he had served<n id="1" /> God&#8217;s purpose in his own generation, died,<n id="2" /> was buried with his ancestors,<n id="3" /> and experienced<n id="4" /> decay,

So now why are you putting God to the test<n id="1" /> by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke<n id="2" /> that neither our ancestors<n id="3" /> nor we have been able to bear?

<t /><p class="bodytext">He also came to Derbe<n id="1" /> and to Lystra.<n id="2" /> A disciple<n id="3" /> named Timothy was there, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer,<n id="4" /> but whose father was a Greek.<n id="5" />

To all those loved by God in Rome,<n id="1" /> called to be saints:<n id="2" /> Grace and peace to you<n id="3" /> from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!p>
