5 And there were sojourning in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven;

6 and when this was told abroad, the whole of these assembled together; and were confounded, because every one heard them speaking in his own language:

7 and they were amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak, Galileans?

8 and how is it, that we each hear them speaking in our own tongue in which we were born?

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and Idumæa;

10 and in Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia; in Phrygia, and Pamphylia;

11 in Egypt, and in the parts of Lybia about Cyrene; and strangers from Rome, both Jews and proselytes; Cretes and Arabians;

12 we hear them speaking,

in our tongues, the wonderful works of God!

13 and they were all amazed, and doubted, saying one to another, What will this thing be? 14 but others, mocking together, said, They are full of new wine:

15 But Peter standing up, with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Ye Jews, and all ye who sojourn in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words:

16 for, these are not drunken, as ye suppose, since it is but the third hour of the day;

17 but, this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel;

"into blood, before that great "and notable day of the Lord "cometh :

66

22 " and it shall come to

pass, that whoever shall call 66 on the name of the Lord, "shall be saved."

23 Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man marked out to you by God, by miracles, and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know;

24 him, being delivered up to you by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have crucified, and have slain by the hands of Gentiles:

25 whom God hath raised again, having loosed the bands of death; because it was not Matt. xvi. 14. possible that he should be withheld by it:

Ps. xvi. 3. c. xiii. 35.

c. xiii. 36.

26 for, David saith concern

ing him, "I saw the Lord

66

66

always before me, for he is

on my right hand, that I "should not be moved:

27 "therefore my heart re"joiced, and my tongue was glad:

28 moreover, my flesh also "shall rest in hope; for thou "wilt not leave my soul in "death, nor suffer thy Holy "One to see corruption:

29" thou hast made known "to me the ways of life; thou "wilt fill me with joy by thy "countenance."

30 Brethren, I may boldly say to you, of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this day:

31 but, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, That of the fruit of his loins, accord- Ps. cxxxii. 11. ing to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne;

32 he spake of the resurrection of the Christ, foreseeing, that he was not left in death, neither did his flesh see corruption:

33 this Jesus, God hath raised again, of which all we are witnesses:

34 being, therefore, exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye now see and hear:

35 for, David ascended not into the heavens; but he saith himself, "The LORD said to Ps. cx. 1. "my Lord, Sit thou on my

right hand, until I make "thine enemies thy footstool:" 36 let all the house of Israel, therefore, know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.

37 And when they heard these words, they were stung to their heart; and said to Peter, and

to the rest of the apostles,
Brethren, what shall we do?
38 and Peter said to them,
Repent, and be ye every one
baptized in the name of Jesus
Christ, for the remission of
your sins; and ye will receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit :

39 for, the promise is to you, and to your children, and to

all that are afar off; even to John, vi. 44. as many as the Lord our God shall call to Him:

40 and with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

41 Then, they that received his word were baptized; and the same day, were added to them about three thousand souls:

42 and they continued steadfastly in the doctrine and fellowship of the apostles, and in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

5 and he gave attention to them, expecting to receive something from them:

6 but Peter said, Silver and gold I have not, but what I have, that I give thee; In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk:

7 and taking him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankle-bones received strength: 8 and leaping up, he stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple; walk

God:

9 and all the people saw him walking, and praising God:

10 and they knew that he was the same that sat for alins at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement, at that which had happened to him.

11 And, as he kept close to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in amazement, to the porch that is called Solomon's:

12 and when Peter saw them, he made answer to the people, saying, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why gaze ye on us, as if we, by our own power or holiness, had made this man to walk?

13 the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye, indeed, delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him;

14 and ye denied the Holy and the Just One, and asked that a murderer should be granted to you:

15 and ye killed the Author of life; whom God hath raised from the dead; whose witnesses

we are:

16 and his name, through faith in his name, hath given

see and know; yea, the faith which is through him, hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. 17 And now, brethren, I know that yedid it through ignorance, as also did your rulers;

18 but, God hath thus fulfilled the words which he had before declared through the mouth of all his prophets, namely, that the Christ should suffer:

19 repent, therefore, and turn ye to the blotting out of your sins, when the season of revival shall come, from the presence of the Lord;

20 and when he shall send forth Jesus Christ, who hath been before manifested to you;

21 whom heaven must receive, until the times of the establishing of all the things, of which God hath always spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets :

15.

22 for Moses said, "The Deut. xviii. "Lord your God will raise up 66 to you, from among your "brethren, a Prophet, like to "me: to him ye shall hearken, "in all things that he shall 'say to you:

23

"and it shall come to pass, "that every soul that will not "hearken to that prophet shall Heb. ii. 3. "be destroyed from among the 'people :"

24 and all the prophets also that have spoken, from Samuel

clared these days.

25 Ye are children of those prophets, and of the Covenant which God covenanted with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in thy seed shall all "the families of the earth be "blessed :"

26 to you, first, God, who hath raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, by turning every one of you from his iniquities.

CHAPTER IV.

7 and when they had set them in the midst, they asked them, By what authority, or in what name, have ye done this?

8 then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,

9 Ye rulers and elders of the people! since we are questioned this day concerning the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he hath been cured;

10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel,

ing to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them;

2 being greatly disturbed by their teaching the people, and proclaiming, in Jesus, the resurrection from the dead:

3 and they laid hands on them, and put them in confinement until the next day; for it was now evening:

4 nevertheless, many of those that heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes ;

6 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and all that were of the family of the high priest

of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, but whom God hath raised from the dead, even by that name doth this man stand before you whole:

11 He is the stone that was set at nought by you builders, but which is become the headstone of the corner:

12 and there is no salvation by any other name; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved.
