Acts 13:16-43

And Paul having risen, and shaken with the hand, said, Men, Israelites, and ye fearing God, hear ye. God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in sojourning the land of Egypt, and with high arm brought them out of it. And about forty years time he bare them in the desert. read more.
And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he gave them to inherit this land by lot. And after these, about four hundred and fifty years he gave judges, even to Samuel the prophet. And thence they desired a king; and God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years. 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. From the seed of this has God according to promise raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus: John having proclaimed before the face of his coming the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel. 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. Men, brethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent. For they dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, and the voices of the prophets which being read in every sabbath, having judged, they filled up. And having found no cause of death, they desired Pilate to have him slain. And when they finished all things written concerning him, having taken down from the wood, they put in a tomb. And God raised him from the dead: Who was seen for many days to them having come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people. And we announce good news to you, the promise made to our fathers, For this has God completed to us, their children, having raised up Jesus; as it has also been written in the second Psalms, Thou art my Son; to day have I begotten thee. 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. For also in another, he says, Thou shalt not give thy Holy one to see corruption. For David, truly having served his own generation by the will of God, was set to sleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption: But whom God raised up, he saw no corruption. Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that for him remission of sins is announced to you. And from all which ye could not be justified by Moses' law, every one believing in him is justified. See ye, therefore, that that spoken by the prophets come not upon you. See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, which ye would not believe if any recount to you. And the Jews having gone out of the synagogue, the nations besought to have these words spoken in the sabbath between. And the synagogue having been dissolved, many of the Jews and strangers worshipping, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to remain in the grace of God.

Acts 8:27-38

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

Acts 8:5-12

And a certain man, Simon by name, was before in the city using magic, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be somebody great: To whom attended from little to great, saying, This is the great power of God. And they attended to him, because for a sufficient time they were astonished by magics. And when they believed Philip announcing the good news of the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women.

And all the prophets propphesying thus, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead and prosper: and Jehovah gave into the hand of the king. And the messenger who went to call for Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets with one mouth good to the king; and now will thy word be as one of them, and speak good. And Micaiah will say, Jehovah lives, for what God shall say I shall speak it. And he will come to the king, and the king will say to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to war, or shall I desist? And he will say, Go ye up and prosper, and they shall be given into your hand. And the king will say to him, Even how many times do I cause thee to swear that thou wilt speak to me only the truth in the name of Jehovah? And he will say, I saw all Israel being dispersed upon the mountains as sheep which not to them a shepherd: and Jehovah will say, No lords to these; they shall turn back each to his house in peace. And the king of Israel will say to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say to thee, He will not prophesy good to me, but for evil? And he will say, Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah; I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the army of the heavens standing upon his right and his left. And Jehovah will say, Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel, and he shall go up and fall in Ramoth-Gilead? And this will say, saying, according to this, and this, saying according to this And a spirit will come forth and stand before Jehovah, and say, I will persuade. And Jehovah will say, In what? And he will say, I will go forth and be for a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets. And he will say, Thou shalt persuade, and also thou shalt prevail: go and do thus. And now behold Jehovah gave a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of these thy prophets, and Jehovah spake evil against thee. And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah, will draw near and strike Micaiah upon the cheek, and he will say, Which way passed the spirit of Jehovah from me to speak with thee? And Micaiah will say, Behold thee seeing in that day which thou shalt go to a chamber in a chamber to hide thyself. And the king of Israel will say, Take ye Micaiah and turn him back to Amon chief of the city, and to Joash son of the king; And say, Thus said the king, Put ye this in the house of the prison, and feed him with bread of oppression and water of oppression till my turning back in peace.

And in that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and he will say to him, In thy relying upon the king of Aram, and thou didst not rely upon Jehovah thy God, for this the power of the king of Aram escaped from thy hand. Were not the Cushites and the Lubims for an army for multitude, for chariots, and for horsemen to a great multitude? and in thy relying upon Jehovah he gave them into thy hand. For Jehovah, his eyes run to and fro in all the earth to strengthen himself with the perfected heart of them to him. Thou wert foolish for this that from now there is wars with thee. read more.

2 Chronicles 15:1-15

And Azariah son of Oded, upon him was the spirit of God. And he will go forth before Asa, and say to him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; Jehovah is with you in your being with him; and if ye will seek him he will be found to you; and if ye will forsake him, he will forsake you. And many days to Israel for not a God of truth, and for no priest teaching, and for no law. read more.

And ye, be ye strong, and your hands shall not be relaxed; for there is a reward to your work. And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he strengthened himself, and he will put away the abominations from all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities which he took from mount Ephraim, and he will renew the altar of Jehovah which was before the porch of Jehovah. And he will gather all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them from Ephraim and Manasseh and from Simeon: for they fell to him from Israel for multitude in their seeing that Jehovah his God was with him. And they will gather together at Jerusalem in the third month, for the fifteenth year to the kingdom of Asa. And they will sacrifice to Jehovah in that day from the spoil they brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. And they will come into a covenant to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; And every one who will not seek for Jehovah God of Israel shall be put to death, from small and even to great, from man and even to woman. And they will swear to Jehovah with a great voice, and with shouting and with trumpets and with horns. And all Judah will rejoice at the oath: for with all their heart they sware, and with all their desire they sought him, and he will be found to them: and Jehovah will give rest to them from round about.

Acts 2:14-41

And Peter, having stood with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Men Jews, and all ye dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and hear ye my words: For not, as ye suppose, are these intoxicated, (for it is the third hour of the day.) But this is that spoken by the prophet Joel; read more.
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. Therefore let all the house of Israel know certainly, that God made him Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified. 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. 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 with many other words he appealed earnestly and besought, saying, Be ye saved from this crooked generation. Then truly they having gladly received his word were immersed: and in that day were added about three thousand souls.
