“… So Jesus said again, “Amen, amen, I say to you,
I am the Gate for the sheep.
All who came before me are thieves and robbers,
but the sheep did not listen to them.
I am the Gate.
Whoever enters through Me will be saved,
and will come in and go out and find pasture.
A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy;
I came so that they might have Life and have it more abundantly.'”

“… there was a disciple named Tabitha
… completely occupied with good deeds and almsgiving.
… she fell sick and died …
… Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed.
… turned to her body and said, ‘Tabitha, rise up.’
She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up.
He gave her his hand and raised her up,
and when he had called the holy ones and the widows,
he presented her alive.
This became known all over Joppa,
and many came to believe in the Lord.”

“… Jesus said to them,
‘Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood,
you do not have life within you.
Whoever eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood
has Eternal Life,
and I will raise him on the last day.
For My Flesh is True Food,
and My Blood is True Drink.
Whoever eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood
remains in Me and I in Him.
Just as the Living Father sent Me
and I have Life because of the Father,
so also the one who feeds on Me will have Life because of Me.
This is the Bread that came down from Heaven.
Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died,
whoever eats this Bread will Live forever.’ …”

“Jesus said …
* * *
I am the Bread of Life.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
this is the bread that comes down from heaven
so that one may eat it and not die.
I am the Living Bread that came down from Heaven;
whoever eats this Bread will live forever;
and the Bread that I will give
is my Flesh for the life of the world.'”

“Jesus said to Thomas, ‘I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.
If you know Me, then you will also know my Father.
From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.’
… The Words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own.
The Father who dwells in Me is doing His Works.
Believe Me that I AM in the Father and the Father is in Me,
or else, believe because of the Works themselves.
Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever believes in Me will do the Works that I do,
and will do greater ones than these,
because I AM going to the Father.
And whatever you ask in My Name, I will do,
so that the Father may be Glorified in the Son.
If you ask anything of Me in My Name, I will do it.'”

“… #Jesus said to them, ‘I AM the Bread of Life;
whoever comes to Me will never hunger,
and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.”

“Stephen, filled with Grace and Power,
was working great wonders and signs among the people.
Certain members of the so-called Synagogue of Freedmen,
Cyreneans, and Alexandrians,
and people from Cilicia and Asia,
came forward and debated with Stephen,
but they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
… They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes,
accosted him, seized him,
and brought him before the Sanhedrin.
They presented false witnesses ….
All those who sat in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him
and saw that his face was like the face of an angel.”

“… The sea was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.
When they had rowed about three or four miles,
they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat,
and they began to be afraid.
But he said to them, ‘It is I. Do not be afraid.’
They wanted to take him into the boat,
but the boat immediately arrived at the shore
to which they were heading.”
