12 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince, who stands for the children of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there began to be a nation until that same time. And at that time, your people shall be delivered; everyone who shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake; some to everlasting life, and some to shame and perpetual contempt.
3 And those who are wise, shall shine; as the brightness of the sky. And those who turn many to righteousness, shall shine as the stars, forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, till the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro. And knowledge shall be increased.
13 But go your way, till the end. For you shall rest, and arise for your portion, at the end of days.”
4 And as they spoke to the people, the priests and the Captain of the Temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
2 annoyed that they taught the people and preached the resurrection from the dead in Jesus’ Name.
3 And they laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day. For it was now evening.
4 However, many of those who heard the Word, believed. And the number of the men was about five thousand.
5 And on the next day it so happened that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, were gathered together at Jerusalem;
6 and Annas, the High Priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were in the family of the High Priest.
7 And when they had set them before them, they asked, “By what power, or in what Name, have you done this?”
8 Then Peter, full of the Holy Ghost, said to them, “Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel!
9 “If we are being examined today regarding the good deed done to the impotent man (or, by what means he is made whole),
10 “be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth - Whom you have crucified, Whom God raised again from the dead - by Him does this man stand here before you, whole.
11 “This is the Stone cast aside by you builders, which has become the Cornerstone.
12 “Nor is there salvation in any other. For among men there is given no other Name under heaven whereby we must be saved.”
16 “These things I have said to you so that you should not be made to stumble.
2 “They shall excommunicate you. Indeed, the time shall come that whoever kills you will think that he does God a service.
3 “And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father or Me.
4 “But these things I have told you so that when the hour shall come, you might remember that I told them to you. And these things I did not say to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
5 “But now I go My way to Him Who sent Me. And none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
6 “But because I have said these things to you, your hearts are full of sorrow.
7 “Yet I tell you the truth. It is expedient for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. But if I depart, I will send Him to you.
8 “And when He comes, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment.
9 “Concerning sin, because they did not believe in Me;
10 “concerning righteousness, because I go to My Father, and you shall see Me no more;
11 “concerning judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.”
12 “I still have many things to say to you. But you cannot bear them now.
13 “However, when He Who is the Spirit of Truth comes, He will lead you into all Truth. For He shall not speak from Himself. But whatever He shall hear, He shall speak. And He will show you the things to come.
14 “He shall glorify Me. For He shall receive that which is Mine and shall show it to you.
15 “All things that the Father has, are Mine. Therefore, I said that He shall take that which is Mine, and show it to you.
