They glorified

Then they threatened them still further and let them go; on account of the people they found themselves unable to find any means of punishing them, for everybody was glorifying God over what had happened

On hearing this they desisted and glorified God, saying, "So God has actually allowed the Gentiles to repent and live!"

So he told them this parable,

that you may unite in a chorus of praise and glory to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

which made them praise God for me.

when he comes to be glorified in his saints and marvelled at in all believers on that day (for our testimony has found confirmation in your lives).

Then I heard a cry like the shout of a great host and the sound of many waves and the roar of heavy thunder ??"Hallelujah! now the Lord our God almighty reigns!

How

So those who accepted what he said were baptized; about three thousand souls were brought in, that day.

(A number of those who heard them speak believed, bringing up their numbers to [about] five thousand.)

And they

"I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel in all the strictness of our ancestral Law, ardent for God as you all are to-day.

I can vouch for their zeal for God; only, it is not zeal with knowledge.

and how I outstripped many of my own age and race in my special ardour for the ancestral traditions of my house.
