"You people, stubborn in will, heathenish in hearts and ears, you are always resisting the Holy Spirit, as your forefathers did, too.

Which of the prophets did your forefathers fail to persecute? They killed the prophets who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, and now you have betrayed and murdered Him,

you who received the law by order of the angels, and yet you did not obey it!"

And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and did gnash the teeth at him;

And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and did rush with one accord upon him,

and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning him -- and the witnesses did put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul --

And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.

And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John,

who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, --

They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news.

Now the passage of scripture the man was reading was this: "He was led like a sheep to slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch went on his way rejoicing and did not see Philip again.

did ask from him letters to Damascus, unto the synagogues, that if he may find any being of the way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, the men who were traveling with Saul were standing speechless, for they heard the voice but didn't see anyone.

and for three days he could not see, and he did not eat or drink anything.

And Ananias answered, 'Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem,

And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him his hands, said, 'Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me -- Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming -- that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.'

Everyone who heard him was astonished and said, "This is the man who harassed those who were calling on Jesus' name in Jerusalem, isn't it? Didn't he come here to bring them in chains to the high priests?"

and the disciples having taken him, by night did let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.

Now when Saul arrived at Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples there, but they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe that he was really a disciple.

and Barnabas having taken him, brought him unto the apostles, and did declare to them how in the way he saw the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the name of Jesus.

and all those dwelling at Lydda, and Saron saw him, and did turn to the Lord.

Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said, 'Tabitha, arise;' and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,

He was a devout man who feared God, as did everyone in his home. He gave many gifts to the poor among the people and always prayed to God.

And Peter said, 'Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;'

and there is a voice again a second time unto him: 'What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;'

and on the morrow they did enter into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kindred and near friends,

When Peter went into the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet and did homage to him.

Peter, however, lifted him up, saying as he did so: "Stand up, I am only a man like yourself."

And he said unto them, 'Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean;

therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?'

Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou did well having come. Now therefore we are all present in the sight of God, to hear all the things commanded thee by God.

Jesus who is from Nazareth -- how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him;

We are witnesses of everything that He did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. Yet they murdered Him by hanging Him upon a tree.

'This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest,

Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

"No one can refuse the use of water, can he, for these to be baptized, since they have received the Holy Spirit just as we did ourselves?"

And the apostles and the brethren who are in Judea heard that also the nations did receive the word of God,

Saying - he went in unto men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.

And Peter having begun, did expound to them in order saying,

but I said, Lord, by no means: for I never did eat any thing impure, and defiled.

and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou -- declare not thou common.

and the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter into the house of the man,

When I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them as He did upon us at the beginning,

and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit;

Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, 'Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'

and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord.

and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they a whole year did assemble together in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, the disciples also were divinely called first in Antioch Christians.

and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world -- which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar --

Then the disciples determined to send relief, every one according to his ability, to the brethren who dwelt in Judea: Which also they did,

And this they did and sent it to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.

whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.

Then the angel said to him, "Tighten your belt and put on your shoes? He did so. Then the angel said to him, "Put on your coat and follow me!"

So he went out and followed him; and he did not know, that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.

and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him.

And Peter having come to himself, said, 'Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews;'

On recognizing Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed that she didn't open the gate but ran back inside and announced that Peter was standing at the gate.

and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command them to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he was abiding there.

But the angel of the Lord at once struck him down, because he did not give the glory to God; he was eaten by worms, and so died.

And the word of God did grow and did multiply,

and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with them John, who was surnamed Mark.

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire to hear the word of God,

then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

And those about Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, did turn back to Jerusalem,

the God of this people Israel did choose our fathers, and the people He did exalt in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm did He bring them out of it;

and about a period of forty years He did suffer their manners in the wilderness,

and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He did divide by lot to them their land.

and thereafter they asked for a king, and God did give to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

and having removed him, He did raise up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, he said, I found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who shall do all My will.

Of this one's seed God, according to promise, did raise to Israel a Saviour -- Jesus,

for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, this one not having known, also the voices of the prophets, which every sabbath are being read -- having judged him -- did fulfil,

and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain,

and when they did complete all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb;

and God did raise him out of the dead,

and he was seen for many days of those who did come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus -- I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David;

For David, after having served God's purpose in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid among his forefathers, and so he did experience decay,

but He whom God raised to life did not experience it.

and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes did follow Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.

and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul -- contradicting and speaking evil.

And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the Lord, and did believe -- as many as were appointed to life age-during;

And the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the first men of the city, and did raise persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and did put them out from their borders;

And it came to pass in Iconium, that they did enter together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spake, so that there believed both of Jews and Greeks a great multitude;

and the unbelieving Jews did stir up and made evil the souls of the nations against the brethren;

long time, indeed, therefore, did they abide speaking boldly in the Lord, who is testifying to the word of His grace, and granting signs and wonders to come to pass through their hands.

they having become aware, did flee to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about,

And there was a certain man sitting there in Lystra, impotent in his feet, being lame from the womb of his mother, who never did walk about.

and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, did lift up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, 'The gods, having become like men, did come down unto us;'

And the priest of the Zeus that is before their city, oxen and garlands unto the porches having brought, with the multitudes did wish to sacrifice,

and having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having rent their garments, did spring into the multitude, crying

who in the past generations did suffer all the nations to go on in their ways,

though He did not fail to furnish evidences about Himself, in constantly showing His kindness to you, in sending you rain from heaven and fruit-producing seasons, in giving you food and happiness to your heart's content."

and these things saying, scarcely did they restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

and thence did sail to Antioch, whence they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled;

and having come and gathered together the assembly, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He did open to the nations a door of faith;

And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them;

Then arose there up certain of the sect of the Pharisees, which did believe: saying that it was needful to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
