(Jɔn 21:1-3) Afta dat, Jizɔs sho insɛf bak to in lanin bɔy dɛn, we dɛn bin de [nia] Lek Taybiryɔs. Na di tin dis we bi: ² Saymɔn Pita; Tɔmɔs, we dɛn kɔl “Twin”; Natanyɛl we kɔmɔt Kena we de na Galili; Zɛbidi in pikin dɛn; ɛn tu ɔda wan pan Jizɔs in lanin bɔy dɛn ɔl bin de wan ples. ³ Saymɔn Pita tɛl dɛn se, in de go fishin. Dɛn se, “Wi go fala yu go.” So dɛn tek bot go fishin ol nɛt, bɔt dɛn nɔ kech natin.

(Jɔn 21:4-14) Na mɔnin bifo san kɔmɔt, Jizɔs go tinap na di bich, bɔt di lanin bɔy dɛn nɔ bin no se na Jizɔs. ⁵ Nain Jizɔs se, “E padi!

(Jɔn 20:1-18) On the first day of the week, Mary Magʹda·lene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and she saw that the stone had already been taken away from the tomb. ² So she came running to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, for whom Jesus had affection, and she said to them: “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” ³ Then Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb. ⁴ The two of them began running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first. ⁵ Stooping forward, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. ⁶ Then Simon Peter also came, following him, and he went into the tomb. And he saw the linen cloths lying there. ⁷ The cloth that had been on his head was not lying with the other cloth bands but was rolled up in a place by itself. ⁸ Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed. ⁹ For they did not yet understand the scripture that he must rise from the dead. ¹⁰ So the disciples went back to their homes. ¹¹ Mary, however, kept standing outside near the tomb, weeping. While she was weeping, she stooped forward to look into the tomb, ¹² and she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and one at the feet. ¹³ And they said to her: “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them: “They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have laid him.” ¹⁴ After saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus said to her: “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She, thinking it was the gardener, said to him: “Sir, if you have carried him off, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” ¹⁶ Jesus said to her: “Mary!” On turning around, she said to him in Hebrew: “Rab·boʹni!” (which means “Teacher!”) ¹⁷ Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’” ¹⁸ Mary Magʹda·lene came and brought the news to the disciples: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what he had said to her.

(Di Apɔsul Dɛn Wok [Akt] 2:1-21) Now while the day of the Festival of Pentecost was in progress, they were all together at the same place. ² Suddenly there was a noise from heaven, just like that of a rushing, stiff breeze, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³ And tongues as if of fire became visible to them and were distributed, and one came to rest on each one of them, ⁴ and they all became filled with holy spirit and started to speak in different languages, just as the spirit enabled them to speak. ⁵ At that time devout Jews from every nation under heaven were staying in Jerusalem. ⁶ So when this sound occurred, a crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. ⁷ Indeed, they were utterly amazed and said: “See here, all these who are speaking are Gal·i·leʹans, are they not? ⁸ How is it, then, that each one of us is hearing his own native language? ⁹ Parʹthi·ans, Medes, and Eʹlam·ites, the inhabitants of Mes·o·po·taʹmi·a, Ju·deʹa and Cap·pa·doʹci·a, Ponʹtus and the province of Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygʹi·a and Pam·phylʹi·a, Egypt and the regions of Libʹy·a near Cy·reʹne, sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, ¹¹ Creʹtans, and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages about the magnificent things of God.” ¹² Yes, they were all astonished and perplexed, saying to one another: “What does this mean?” ¹³ However, others mocked them and said: “They are full of sweet wine.” ¹⁴ But Peter stood up with the Eleven and spoke to them in a loud voice: “Men of Ju·deʹa and all you inhabitants of Jerusalem, let this be known to you and listen carefully to my words. ¹⁵ These people are, in fact, not drunk, as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day. ¹⁶ On the contrary, this is what was said through the prophet Joel: ¹⁷ ‘“And in the last days,” God says, “I will pour out some of my spirit on every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams, ¹⁸ and even on my male slaves and on my female slaves I will pour out some of my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. ¹⁹ And I will give wonders in heaven above and signs on earth below—blood and fire and clouds of smoke. ²⁰ The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and illustrious day of Jehovah comes. ²¹ And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”’

(Di Apɔsul Dɛn Wok [Akt] 5:27-42) So they brought them and stood them before the Sanʹhe·drin. Then the high priest questioned them ²⁸ and said: “We strictly ordered you not to keep teaching on the basis of this name, and yet look! you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you are determined to bring the blood of this man upon us.” ²⁹ In answer Peter and the other apostles said: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men. ³⁰ The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a stake. ³¹ God exalted this one as Chief Agent and Savior to his right hand, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. ³² And we are witnesses of these matters, and so is the holy spirit, which God has given to those obeying him as ruler.” ³³ When they heard this, they were infuriated and wanted to do away with them. ³⁴ But a Pharisee named Ga·maʹli·el rose in the Sanʹhe·drin; he was a Law teacher esteemed by all the people, and he gave the command to put the men outside for a little while. ³⁵ Then he said to them: “Men of Israel, be careful as to what you intend to do about these men. ³⁶ For instance, before these days Theuʹdas rose up, saying he himself was somebody, and a number of men, about 400, joined his party. But he was done away with, and all those who were following him were dispersed and came to nothing. ³⁷ After him, Judas the Gal·i·leʹan rose up in the days of the registration, and he drew followers after himself. That man also perished, and all those who were following him were scattered. ³⁸ So under the present circumstances, I say to you, do not meddle with these men, but let them alone. For if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; ³⁹ but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them. Otherwise, you may even be found fighters against God himself.” ⁴⁰ At this they took his advice, and they summoned the apostles, flogged them, and ordered them to stop speaking on the basis of Jesus’ name, and let them go. ⁴¹ So they went out from before the Sanʹhe·drin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy to be dishonored in behalf of his name. ⁴² And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.

(Di Apɔsul Dɛn Wok [Akt] 6:1-15) Now in those days when the disciples were increasing, the Greek-speaking Jews began complaining against the Hebrew-speaking Jews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution. ² So the Twelve called the multitude of the disciples together and said: “It is not right for us to leave the word of God to distribute food to tables. ³ So, brothers, select for yourselves seven reputable men from among you, full of spirit and wisdom, that we may appoint them over this necessary matter; ⁴ but we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” ⁵ What they said was pleasing to the whole multitude, and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith and holy spirit, as well as Philip, Prochʹo·rus, Ni·caʹnor, Tiʹmon, Parʹme·nas, and Nic·o·laʹus, a proselyte of Antioch. ⁶ They brought them to the apostles, and after praying, they laid their hands on them. ⁷ Consequently, the word of God continued to spread, and the number of the disciples kept multiplying very much in Jerusalem; and a large crowd of priests began to be obedient to the faith. ⁸ Now Stephen, full of divine favor and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people. ⁹ But some men of the so-called Synagogue of the Freedmen came forward, along with some Cy·reʹni·ans and Alexandrians, and some from Ci·liʹcia and Asia, to dispute with Stephen. ¹⁰ But they could not hold their own against the wisdom and the spirit with which he was speaking. ¹¹ Then they secretly persuaded men to say: “We have heard him speaking blasphemous things against Moses and God.” ¹² And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and coming upon him suddenly, they forcibly seized him and led him to the Sanʹhe·drin. ¹³ And they brought forward false witnesses, who said: “This man does not stop speaking things against this holy place and against the Law. ¹⁴ For instance, we have heard him say that this Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ will throw down this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.” ¹⁵ And as all those sitting in the Sanʹhe·drin stared at him, they saw that his face was like an angel’s face.
