²⁵ Now ^(A)there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that ^(B)the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

The Purpose of This Book

^30 (A)Now Jesus did many other signs ^(B)in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; ^31 (C)but these are written so that you may ^(D)believe that Jesus is the Christ, ^(E)the Son of God, and that by believing ^(F)you may have life ^(G)in his name.

³² And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of ^(A)Gideon, ^(B)Barak, ^(C)Samson, ^(D)Jephthah, of ^(E)David and ^(F)Samuel and the prophets—

³⁸ how ^(A)God anointed Jesus of Nazareth ^(B)with the Holy Spirit and with ^(C)power. He went about doing good and healing all ^(D)who were oppressed by the devil, ^(E)for God was with him.

³⁵ In all things ^(A)I have shown you that ^(B)by working hard in this way we must ^(C)help the weak and ^(D)remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed ^(E)to give than to receive.’”

^5 (A)the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers^[a] are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and ^(B)the poor have good news preached to them.
