In my first book, Theophilus, I wrote about everything Jesus did and taught from the beginning,

he looked ahead and spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah: "He was not abandoned to Hades, and his flesh did not experience decay.'

After all, David did not go up to heaven, but he said, "The Lord told my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,

They made Peter and John stand in front of them and began asking, "By what power or by what name did you do this?"

As long as it remained unsold, wasn't it your own? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? So how could you have thought of doing what you did? You didn't lie only to men, but also to God!"

So Peter asked her, "Tell me, did you sell the land for that price?" She answered, "Yes, that was the price."

When the Temple police got there, they did not find them in the prison. They came back and reported,

He said, "We gave you strict orders not to teach in his name, didn't we? Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to bring this man's blood on us!"

He supposed that his brothers would understand that God was using him to rescue them, but they didn't understand.

"I am the God of your ancestors the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' Moses became terrified and didn't dare to look.

It was this Moses who told the Israelis, "God will raise up a prophet for you from among your own brothers, just as he did me.'

So God turned away from them and gave them over to worship the heavenly bodies. As it is written in the book of the Prophets: "O house of Israel, you didn't offer me slaughtered animals and sacrifices those 40 years in the wilderness, did you?

Which of the prophets did your ancestors fail to persecute? They killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One, and now you have become his betrayers and murderers.

When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch went on his way rejoicing and did not see Philip again.

Meanwhile, the men who were traveling with Saul were standing speechless, for they heard the voice but didn't see anyone.

For three days he couldn't see, and he didn't eat or drink anything.

Everyone who heard him was astonished and said, "This is the man who harassed those who were calling on Jesus' name in Jerusalem, isn't it? Didn't he come here to bring them in chains to the high priests?"

He was a devout man who feared God, as did everyone in his home. He gave many gifts to the poor among the people and always prayed to God.

and that is why I didn't hesitate when I was sent for. Now may I ask why you sent for me?"

We are witnesses of everything Jesus did in the land of the Jews, including Jerusalem.

"No one can stop us from using water to baptize these people who have received the Holy Spirit in the same way that we did, can they?"

Then the angel told him, "Tuck in your shirt and put on your sandals!" He did this. Then the angel told him, "Put on your coat and follow me!"

On recognizing Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed that she didn't open the gate but ran back inside and announced that Peter was standing at the gate.

Herod searched for him but didn't find him, so he questioned the guards and ordered them to be executed. Then he left Judea, went down to Caesarea, and stayed there for a while.

Immediately the angel of the Lord struck him down because he did not give glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and died.

However, the man whom God raised did not experience decay.

God, who knows everyone's heart, showed them he approved by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.

Both Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch to teach and proclaim the word of the Lord, as did many others.

but Paul did not think it was right to take along the man who had deserted them in Pamphylia and who had not gone with them into the work.

They went as far as Mysia and tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them,

When they didn't find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials and shouted, "These fellows who have turned the world upside down have come here, too,

and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered him, "No, we haven't even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."

Meanwhile, some were shouting one thing and some another, since the crowd was confused, and most of them didn't know why they were meeting.

"He told me, "I'm Jesus from Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.' The men who were with me saw the light but didn't understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

Paul answered, "I didn't realize, brothers, that he is the high priest. After all, it is written, "You must not speak evil about a ruler of your people.'"

When his accusers stood up, they didn't accuse him of any of the crimes I was expecting.

That is what I did in Jerusalem. I received authority from the high priests and locked many of the saints in prison. And when I cast my vote against them, they were put to death.

When day came, they didn't recognize the land, but they could see a bay with a beach on which they planned to run the ship ashore, if possible.
