Saint Joseph the Worker

26Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent. 27For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them. 28And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him. 29And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre. 30But God raised him up from the dead the third day: 31Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people. 32And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers, 33This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

1Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be. 4And whither I go you know, and the way you know. 5Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.
