In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach

Theophilus, I wrote about Jesus in my earlier book. I wrote about all he did and taught

In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach,

In my first book I told you, Theophilus, about everything Jesus began to do and teach

I wrote the first narrative, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach

The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach,

The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

I wrote the first narrative, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach

The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

So it seemed good to me as well, because I have followed all things carefully from the beginning, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,

He said to them,“ What things?”“ The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied,“ a man who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet before God and all the people;

Jesus went throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of disease and sickness among the people.So a report about him spread throughout Syria. People brought to him all who suffered with various illnesses and afflictions, those who had seizures, paralytics, and those possessed by demons, and he healed them.

While this was happening, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.Jesus replied,“ I have spoken publicly to the world. I always taught in the synagogues and in the temple courts, where all the Jewish people assemble together. I have said nothing in secret.Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said. They know what I said.”

At that very time Jesus cured many people of diseases, sicknesses, and evil spirits, and granted sight to many who were blind.So he answered them,“ Go tell John what you have seen and heard: The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.Blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.”

For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps.He committed no sin nor was deceit found in his mouth.When he was maligned, he did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened no retaliation, but committed himself to God who judges justly.

So Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years old. He was the son( as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

“ Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man clearly attested to you by God with powerful deeds, wonders, and miraculous signs that God performed among you through him, just as you yourselves know–

Jesus said to them,“ I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?”The Jewish leaders replied,“ We are not going to stone you for a good deed but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are claiming to be God.”Jesus answered,“ Is it not written in your law,‘ I said, you are gods’?If those people to whom the word of God came were called‘ gods’( and the scripture cannot be broken),do you say about the one whom the Father set apart and sent into the world,‘ You are blaspheming,’ because I said,‘ I am the Son of God’?If I do not perform the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may come to know and understand that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.”
