And it shall be in the last days, says God, I pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elder dream dreams: And also upon my servants and upon my maids in those days will I pour out from my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will give wonders in heaven above, and signs upon the earth below; blood, and fire, and steam of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and distinguished day of the Lord come: And it shall be, every one, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. Men, Israelites, bear these words; Jesus the Nazarite, a man elected by God for you by powers and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, (as also ye yourselves know:) This one, surrendered by the fixed counsel and foreknowledge of God, having taken by lawless hands, having fastened, ye slew: Whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death: as it was not possible for him to be holden of it. For David says about him, I saw beforehand the Lord before me always, for he is of my right hand, that I be not moved: For this my heart was gladdened, and my tongue was transported with joy; and yet also shall my flesh encamp in hope: For thou wilt not leave my soul in hades neither wilt thou give thy sanctified one to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou wilt fill me with gladness with thy face. Men, brethren, it is permitted to speak with freedom of speech to you of the patriarch David, for he died and was buried, and his tomb is with us even till this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God swore with an oath to him, of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up Christ to sit upon his throne: Foreknowing, he spake of the rising up of Christ, that his soul was not left in hades, neither did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus God raised up, of which all we are witnesses. Therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out this, which ye now see and hear. For David ascended not into the heavens: and he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand, Even till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all afar off, as many as the Lord our God should call.

And a messenger of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, Arise, and go at noon in the way going down from Jerusalem to Gaza, (this is desert.) And having risen, he went: and, behold, an Ethiopian man, an eunuch of great power of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come going to worship in Jerusalem, And he was returning, and sitting in his chariot he read the prophet Esaias.read more.
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 passage of the writing which he read was this, As a sheep for slaughter was he brought; and as a lamb before him shearing it dumb, so he opened not his mouth: In his humiliation was his judgment taken away: and his generation who shall recount? for his life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch having answered Philip, said, I pray thee, of whom speaks the prophet this of himself or of some other? And Philip having opened his mouth, and begun from this writing, announced to him the good news, Jesus. 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 ordered the chariot to stand: and both went down into the Water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he immersed him. And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: for he went his way rejoicing. And Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he announced the good news to all of the cities, even till he came to Cesarea.
And Paul waiting for them among the Athenians, his spirit was excited in him, seeing the city being addicted to idol worship.

And having taken him, they brought upon Mars' hill, saying, Can we know what this new teaching is, spoken by thee? For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we wish therefore to know what these things may be. (And all the Athenians and strangers being present, passed time in nothing else but to say or hear some thing new.) 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 having passed by, and beholding your venerations, I found also an altar upon which was inscribed, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom not knowing therefore ye reverence, him I announce to you. God having made the world and all things in it, he being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made by hands; Nor is served by men's hands, standing in need of anything, he giving to all life, and breath, and all things. And he made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having limited the times before arranged, and the bounds of their habitation; To seek the Lord, if perchance indeed they have felt for him, and found, although not being far from each one of us: For in him we live, and move, and are; as certain of the composers among you have said, For we also are his race. Being therefore the posterity of God, we ought not to think gold, or silver, or stone, an engraving of art, or meditation of man, the divinity to be like. Therefore truly, God having overlooked the times of ignorance, now announces to all men everywhere to repent: Wherefore he set a day, in which he is about to judge the habitable globe in justice by the man whom he appointed; having offered faith to all, having raised him from the dead. And having heard of the rising up of the dead, they treated with mockery; and said, We will hear thee again concerning this. And so Paul went forth from the midst of them. And certain men having joined him, believed: among whom also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.
