<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,<n id="2" /> and the crowd was pressing around him<n id="3" /> to hear the word of God.

He<n id="1" /> saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.

Then<n id="1" /> he came up<n id="2" /> and touched<n id="3" /> the bier,<n id="4" /> and those who carried it stood still. He<n id="5" /> said, &#8220;Young man, I say to you, get up!&#8221;

But I tell you most certainly,<n id="1" /> there are some standing here who will not<n id="2" /> experience<n id="3" /> death before they see the kingdom of God.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

So<n id="1" /> if<n id="2" /> Satan too is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? I ask you this because<n id="3" /> you claim that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

But stay alert at all times,<n id="1" /> praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that must<n id="2" /> happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.&#8221;p>

And all those who knew Jesus<n id="1" /> stood at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee saw<n id="2" /> these things.p>

Thus they were looking for Jesus,<n id="1" /> and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts,<n id="2" /> &#8220;What do you think? That he won&#8217;t come to the feast?&#8221;

The crowd that stood there and heard the voice<n id="1" /> said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to him.<n id="2" />

They replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Jesus the Nazarene.&#8221; He told them, &#8220;I am he.&#8221; (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, was standing there with them.)<n id="2" />

When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,<n id="1" /> but she did not know that it was Jesus.p>

<p class="bodytext">When it was already very early morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

He<n id="1" /> jumped up,<n id="2" /> stood and began walking around, and he entered the temple courts<n id="3" /> with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

&#8220;We found the jail locked securely and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them,<n id="1" /> we found no one inside.&#8221;

They brought forward false witnesses who said, &#8220;This man does not stop saying things against this holy place<n id="1" /> and the law.<n id="2" />

<b><i>But the Lord said to him,i>b> &#8216;<i><b>Take the sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy groundb>.i><n id="1" />

But Stephen,<n id="1" /> full<n id="2" /> of the Holy Spirit, looked intently<n id="3" /> toward heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing<n id="4" /> at the right hand of God.

&#8220;Look!&#8221; he said.<n id="1" /> &#8220;I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!&#8221;

Then he fell<n id="1" /> to his knees and cried out with a loud voice, &#8220;Lord, do not hold this sin against them!&#8221;<n id="2" /> When<n id="3" /> he had said this, he died.<n id="4" />

So he ordered the chariot to stop, and both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water,<n id="1" /> and Philip baptized<n id="2" /> him.
