And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, you have heard of me.

For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power.

But you shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit has come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, You men of Judea, and all you that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

For these are not drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he said himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit on my right hand,

Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he has so fulfilled.

And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day: for it was now evening.

But many of them who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

But that it spread no further among the people, let us sternly threaten them, that they speak no longer to any man in this name.

But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge you.

For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that any of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

While it remained, was it not your own? and after it was sold, was it not in your own power? why have you conceived this thing in your heart? you have not lied unto men, but unto God.

And of the rest dared no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,

And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,

Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing outside before the doors: but when we had opened it, we found no man within.

Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles outside a little while;

But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it; lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God.

But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

Then said the Lord to him, Put off your shoes from your feet: for the place where you stand is holy ground.

Whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

But there was a certain man, called Simon, who previously in the same city used sorcery, and amazed the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:

But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

But Peter said unto him, Your money perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

But the Lord said unto him, Go your way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came here for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?

But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this one is the very Christ.

But their plot was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Hellenists: but they went about to slay him.

But when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been in bed eight years, and was paralyzed.

And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you whole: arise, and make your bed. And he arose immediately.

But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.

But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

And he said unto them, You know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God has showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him.

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.

But Peter reviewed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it in order unto them, saying,

But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean has at any time entered into my mouth.

But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God has cleansed, that call not you common.

And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

And he went out, and followed him; and knew not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.

And they said unto her, You are mad. But she continued to affirm that it was so. Then they said, It is his angel.

But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.

But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go show these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.

And when Herod had sought him, and found him not, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and there abode.

And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was fed by the king's country.

But the word of God grew and multiplied.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing you put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

But the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their district.

But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds embittered against the brethren.

But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, It is needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

Now therefore why test God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

But that we write unto them, that they abstain from defilements of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
