For David ascended not into the heavens: and he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand,

And having heard, they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the sent, What shall we do, men, brethren?

And Peter said to them, Repent, and be each of you immersed in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

And Peter, having looked intently upon him with John, said, Look upon us.

And Peter said, Silver and gold are not to me; but what I have, this I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarite, arise and walk.

For Moses truly said to the fathers, That a prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you from your brethren, like me; him shall ye hear according to all whatever he speak to you.

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

And Peter and John having answered to them, said, If it is just before God to hear you rather than God, judge ye.

And having been loosed, they came to their own, and announced to them what the chief priests and elders said.

And they, having heard, lifted up the voice unanimously to God, and said, Sovereign, thou God having made heaven, and earth, and sea, and all things which in them:

Having said by the mouth of David thy servant, That why were the nations insolent, and did the people practise vain things

And the heart and soul of the multitude of them believing were one: and not one said any of the things being to him to be his own; but all were common to them.

And Peter said, Ananias, wherefore filled Satan thy heart, for thee to belie the Holy Spirit, and separate from the price of the farm

And Peter answered to her, Tell me, if for so much ye sold the farm? And she said, Yes, for so much.

And Peter said to her, For what was it agreed by you to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them having interred thy husband at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

And a messenger of the Lord by night opened the doors of the prison, and having brought them forth, said,

And Peter having answered, and the sent, said, We must obey God rather than men.

And he said to them, Men, Israelites, attend to yourselves on account of these men, what ye are about to do.

And the twelve having called the multitude of the disciples, said, It is not pleasing for us, having left the word of God, to serve tables.

And the chief priest said, Hold these things thus?

And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye: The God of glory was sent to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

And he said to him, Come out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.

And the nation which they serve will I judge, said God: and after these shall they go out, and shall serve me in this place.

And the following day he was seen to those contending, and he compelled them to peace, having said, Men, ye are brethren; wherefore injure ye one another?

And he injuring the neighbor repulsed him, having said, Who set thee a ruler and judge over us?

And the Lord said to him, Loose the shoes of thy feet: for the place in which thou standest is holy land.

This Moses which they denied, having said, Who set thee ruler and judge? this, God sent, a ruler and redeemer by the hand of the messenger having been seen to him in the bramble.

This is Moses, having said to the sons of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you of your brethren, like me; him shall ye hear.

Having said to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us: for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has been to him.

And he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.

And having set the knees, he cried with a great voice, Lord, wouldest thou not set this sin to them. And having said this he was set to sleep.

And Peter said to him, May thy silver be for ruin with thee, for thou thoughtest the gift of God to be purchased for money.

And Simon having answered, said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that nothing which ye have spoken come upon me.

And the Spirit said to Philip, Come near, and be joined to this chariot.

And Philip running near, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and he said, Truly knowest thou what thou readest?

And he said, How can I, except somebody guide me? And he called upon Philip coming up to sit with him.

And the eunuch having answered Philip, said, I pray thee, of whom speaks the prophet this of himself or of some other?

And as they went in the way, they came to some water: and the eunuch said, Behold water; what hinders me to be immersed?

And Philip said, If thou believest from the whole heart, it is lawful. And having answered, he said, I believe the Son of God to be Jesus Christ.

And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom thou drivest out: hard for thee to kick against goads.

And he trembling and amazed said, Lord, What wilt thou me to do? And the Lord to him, Arise, and come into the city, and it shall be spoken to thee what thou must do.

And a certain disciple was in Damascus, Ananias by name; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I, Lord.

And the Lord said to him, Go: for he is a vessel of choice to me, to lift up my name before nations, and kings, and the sons of Israel:

And Ananias departed, and came into the house; and having put hands upon him said, Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me, Jesus, he seen to thee in the way which thou earnest, so that thou mightest look up, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

And all they hearing were affected in mind, and said: Is not this he having laid waste in Jerusalem those calling upon this name, and he has come here for this, that he might bring them having been bound to the chief priests?

And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ heals thee; arise, and cover thyself. And he arose quickly.

And Peter having put them all without, having set the knees, prayed; and having turned back to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and having seen Peter, sat up.

And having looked at him intently, and being afraid, he said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms went up for remembrance before God.

And Peter said, By no means, Lord; for never ate I anything common or unclean.

And Peter reflecting concerning the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee.

And Peter having come down to the men sent from Cornelius to him, said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what the cause for which ye are present?

And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and fearing God, and witnessed of by the whole nation of the Jews, received intimation of the divine will by a holy messenger to send for thee to his house, and hear words of thee.

And he said to them, Ye know that it is violating law for a man a Jew to join himself, or come near to a strange tribe: and God shewed me to call no man common or unclean.

And Cornelius said, From the fourth day till this hour I was fasting; and the ninth hour praying in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

And Peter having opened the month; said, Of a truth I comprehend that God is no respecter of faces!

And I said, By no means, Lord: for anything common or unclean never came into my month.

And the spirit said to me to come with them, discussing nothing. And these six brethren came also with me, and we came to the man's house:

And he announced to us how he saw a messenger in his house, having stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and send for Simon, surnamed Peter

And I remembered the word of the Lord, when he said, John truly immersed with water; but ye shall be immersed with the Holy Spirit.

And the messenger said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy small sandals. And he did so. And he said to him, Put round thy garment, and follow me.

And Peter being as himself, said, Now know I truly that the Lord sent his messenger, and took me out of the hands of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

And they said to her, Thou art mad. And she was strengthened to have it so. And they said, It is his messenger.

And having shaken with the hand at them to be silent, he related to them how the Lord brought him out of prison. And he said, Announce these things to James, and the brethren. And having come out, he went to another place.

And they serving the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate to me Barnabas and Saul to the work which I have called them.

And Saul, (also Paul,) filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking intently upon him, said,

And Paul having risen, and shaken with the hand, said, Men, Israelites, and ye fearing God, hear ye.

And having removed him, he raised up to them David for king; to whom also having testified, he said, I found David of Jesse, a man according to my heart, who shall do all my desires.

And as John completed the course, be said, Whom think ye me to be? I am not. But, behold, he comes after me, whose shoes of the feet I am not worthy to loose.

And that he raised him from the dead, no more about to return to corruption, so he said, That I will give you the holy, faithful things of David.

And the Jews, having seen the crowds, were filled with envy, and spake against the things said by Paul, contradicting and defaming.

And Paul and Barnabas speaking freely, said, To you was it first necessary for the word of God to be spoken: but since ye reject it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the nations.

Said with a great voice, Stand up upon thy feet upright.:And he leaped and walked.

And much discussion having been, Peter having risen up, said to them, Men, brethren, ye know that from ancient days God chose among us, through my month for the nations to hear the word of good news, and believe.

And after certain days said Paul to Barnabas, Now having turned back, let us review our brethren in every city in which we announced the word of the Lord, how they hold.

And this did she for many days. And Paul, having been exercised, and having turned back to the spirit, said, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.

And having brought them to the generals, they said, These the men who cause disturbance to our city, being Jews,

And bringing them out, he said, Lords, what must I do that I might be saved

And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

But Paul said to them, Having stripped us publicly not condemned, being Roman men, they cast into prison and now do they cast us out secretly? not so; but having come themselves, let them bring us out.

And certain of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers deliberated with him. And certain said, What may this idle, talkative man wish to say? and others, He seems to be a declarer of strange demons: because he announced to them good news, and the rising up.

And Paul having stood in the midst of Mars' hill, said, Men, Athenians, I see that in all things ye have a superstitious fear of divinity.

For in him we live, and move, and are; as certain of the composers among you have said, For we also are his race.

And having heard of the rising up of the dead, they treated with mockery; and said, We will hear thee again concerning this.

And they opposing, and blaspheming, having shaken off the garments violently, he said to them, Your blood upon your head; I clean: from now will I go to the nations.

And the Lord said through a vision by night to Paul, Fear not, but speak, and thou shouldest not be silent:

And Paul being about to open the mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If therefore it were truly any injustice or wicked, criminal action, O Jews, against the word, I should have borne with you:

He said to them, Having believed, have ye received the Holy Spirit? And they said to him, But neither heard we if there be a Holy Spirit.

And he said to them, Into what then were ye immersed? And they. said, Into John's immersion.

And Paul said, John truly immersed the immersion of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.

And the evil spirit having answered, said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

Whom having collected together and the workmen of such things, he said, Men, ye know that out of this work is our good food.

And having said these, he loosed the assembly.

And Paul having gone down, fell upon him, and embracing, said, Be not disturbed, for his soul is in him.

And when they came to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day in which I embarked for Asia, how I was with you all the time

I shewed you all things, that so being wearied ye must support the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that himself said, It is happy to give rather than receive.

And having said these, having placed his knees, he prayed with them all.

And having found disciples, we remained there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem.

And having come to us, and lifted up Paul's girdle, and bound his hands and feet, he said, Thus says the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle, shall the Jews so bind in Jerusalem, and they shall deliver him into the hands of the nations.

And they having heard, honoured the Lord, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many ten thousands of Jews there are having believed: and all are zealous of the law:

And being about to be brought into the camp, Paul says to the captain of a thousand, Is it lawful for me to speak anything to thee? and he said, Hast thou knowledge in Greek?
