Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;This is the deed<n id="2" /> God requires<n id="3" /> &#8211; to believe in the one whom he<n id="4" /> sent.&#8221;

They asked the parents,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Is this your son, whom you say<n id="2" /> was born blind? Then how does he now see?&#8221;

do you say about the one whom the Father set apart<n id="1" /> and sent into the world, &#8216;You are blaspheming,&#8217; because I said, &#8216;I am the Son of God&#8217;?

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom he<n id="1" /> had raised from the dead.

so that the word<n id="1" /> of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled. He said,<n id="2" /> &#8220;<b><i>Lord, who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lordi>b><n id="3" /> <b><i>been revealed?i>b>&#8221;<n id="4" />

One of his disciples, the one Jesus loved,<n id="1" /> was at the table<n id="2" /> to the right of Jesus in a place of honor.<n id="3" />

Now this<n id="1" /> is eternal life<n id="2" /> &#8211; that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ,<n id="3" /> whom you sent.

So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, &#8220;Woman,<n id="1" /> look, here is your son!&#8221;

But God raised him up,<n id="1" /> having released<n id="2" /> him from the pains<n id="3" /> of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodyblock">Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt<n id="1" /> that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified<n id="2" /> both Lord<n id="3" /> and Christ.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

You killed<n id="1" /> the Originator<n id="2" /> of life, whom God raised<n id="3" /> from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses!<n id="4" />

This one<n id="1" /> heaven must<n id="2" /> receive until the time all things are restored,<n id="3" /> which God declared<n id="4" /> from times long ago<n id="5" /> through his holy prophets.

So Peter went down<n id="1" /> to the men and said, &#8220;Here I am,<n id="2" /> the person you&#8217;re looking for. Why have you come?&#8221;

We<n id="1" /> are witnesses of all the things he did both in Judea<n id="2" /> and in Jerusalem.<n id="3" /> They<n id="4" /> killed him by hanging him on a tree,<n id="5" />

When he had seized him, he put him in prison, handing him over to four squads<n id="1" /> of soldiers to guard him. Herod<n id="2" /> planned<n id="3" /> to bring him out for public trial<n id="4" /> after the Passover.
