I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,

Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:

So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?

but you will be given power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem and all over Judea and Samaria and to the very ends of the earth."

And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them,'saying , Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words.

And I will give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

Men of Israel, give ear to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man who had the approval of God, as was made clear to you by the great works and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves have knowledge,

him, given up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, by the hand of lawless men, have crucified and slain.

Because thou wilt not leave my soul unto Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption.

But being a prophet, and having in mind the oath which God had given to him, that of the fruit of his body one would take his place as a king,

This Jesus God has given back to life, of which we all are witnesses.

And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

For the promise [of forgiveness and the Holy Spirit] is being given to you [Jews] and to your descendants and [also] to all those who are far away [i.e., Gentiles. See Eph. 2:17]. [This promise is] to as many as [respond to] the Lord, our God's call [through the Gospel, See II Thess. 2:14]."

And they went on to give constant attention - unto the teaching of the apostles, and unto the fellowship, unto the breaking of bread, and unto the prayers.

So when he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he began asking [them] for coins.

And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

And when Peter saw it he said to the people, You men of Israel, why are you so greatly surprised at this man? or why are you looking at us as if by our power or virtue we had given him the use of his legs?

The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release him,

But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked to have a murderer given to you.

And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

Who is to be kept in heaven till the time when all things are put right, of which God has given word by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been from the earliest times.

For Moses said, The Lord will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to everything which he will say to you.

And every soul who does not give attention to that prophet, will be cut off from among the people.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

But when they had given them orders to go out of the Sanhedrin, they had a discussion among themselves,

"What are we to do to these men?" they asked one another. "That a remarkable sign has been given through them is obvious to every one living in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

So they recalled the Apostles, and ordered them altogether to give up speaking or teaching in the name of Jesus.

But Peter and John in answer said to them, It is for you to say if it is right in the eyes of God to give attention to you more than to God:

Certainly we cannot give up speaking of what we have seen and heard."

And when they had said more sharp words to them, they let them go, not seeing what punishment they might give them, because of the people; for all men were giving praise to God for what had taken place.

And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and give to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word,

whilst Thou stretchest out Thine arm to cure men, and to give signs and marvels through the name of Thy holy Servant Jesus."

and with great power did the apostles give witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

And Peter said to her, Give me an answer: was this amount of money the price of the land? And she said, Yes, it was.

Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

And he seemed to them to be right: and they sent for the Apostles, and, after having them whipped and giving them orders to give no teaching in the name of Jesus, they let them go.

So the Twelve called the disciples together and said, “It is not appropriate for us to neglect [teaching] the word of God in order to serve tables and manage the distribution of food.

But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

And he said, My brothers and fathers, give hearing. The God of glory came to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he was living in Haran,

And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

So they, having given their witness and made clear the word of the Lord, went back to Jerusalem, giving the good news on their way in a number of the small towns of Samaria.

"When I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as he was first given to us.

If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid God?
