[He said], "Brothers, it was necessary that the Scriptures be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke through King David about Judas, who guided the soldiers who came to arrest Jesus.

(Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.

Suddenly, a sound like the roar of a mighty windstorm came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

And tongues spreading out like a fire appeared to them and came to rest on each one of them.

now many devout Jews were residing at Jerusalem, who came from all quarters of the world.

When that sound came, a crowd quickly gathered, startled because each one heard the disciples speaking in his own language.

My brothers, I may say to you openly that David came to his death, and was put in the earth, and his resting-place is with us today.

Now when these words came to their ears their hearts were troubled, and they said to Peter and the other Apostles, Brothers, what are we to do?

A sense of fear came over everyone, and many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles.

And leaping out, he stood, and continued to walk around, and came into the temple with them, walking around and leaping, and praising God.

While he was holding on to Peter and John, all the people came running to them in what was called "Solomon's Colonnade". They were dumbfounded.

And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, this one whom you see and know, His name made firm. And the faith which came through Him has given him this perfect soundness before you.

And all the prophets from Samuel and those who came after, every one of them, gave word of these days.

And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

and the Saducees came upon them, Being grieved that they had healed the lame man, and preached thro' Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

But many of them that heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

And being dismissed they came to their friends, and related to them what the chief priests and elders said to them.

The kings of the earth were lifted up, the rulers came together, against the Lord, and against his Christ:

For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

was not the estate your own estate? and was not the price for which it was sold, all in your own hands? how came such a design as this in your heart? thou hast not lyed unto men, but unto God.

And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

So the young men came, wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.

And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

insomuch that they brought the sick out into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at lest the shadow of Peter, as he came by, might pass over some of them.

There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

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 the attendants who went for them could not find them in the jail, and so came back and

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

But when these words came to their ears, they were cut to the heart, and had a mind to put them to death.

for before these days rose up Theudas, saying, that himself was some one, to whom a number of men did join themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nought.

After him, at the time of the Census, came Judas, the Galilaean, and was the leader in a revolt. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.

And he said, My brothers and fathers, give hearing. The God of glory came to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he was living in Haran,

and said to him, 'Go forth from your country, and from your kindred, and came into the land which I will show you,'

Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.

At which time Moses came to birth, and he was very beautiful; and he was kept for three months in his father's house:

And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

When he saw one of them being hurt unfairly, Moses came to his defense and avenged the person who was mistreated by striking down the Egyptian.

And the next day he came to them, as they were two of them fighting, and would have persuaded them to agree, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren, why do ye injure one another?

At the end of forty years, an angel came to him in the waste land of Sinai, in the flame of a burning thorn-tree.

The same, is he that came to be in the assembly in the desert, with the messenger who was speaking with him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, he who welcomed living utterances, to give unto us:

Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

but it was Solomon who came to build a house for Him.

And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;

Then came Philip into a city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.

And there came to be great joy in that city.

But when the people came to believe the good news proclaimed by Philip about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were constantly baptized.

So Simon himself came to believe too, and after he was baptized he continued to be devoted to Philip, and he was always thrilled at seeing such great signs and wonder-works continuously performed.

Then they put their hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came on them.

And he arose and went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia which was a chamberlain and of great authority with Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, and had the rule of all her treasure, came to Jerusalem for to pray.

And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both came down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away; the official saw him no more, for he went on home rejoicing;

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

But Saul still breathing out threatnings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest, and desired of him letters to the synagogues at Damascus,

And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

And he saw in a vision a man named Ananias who came in and laid a hand on him, so that he might receive sight.

And Ananias went and entered into the house, and laying hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me, Jesus who appeared to you on the way which you came, that you may receive sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

And when he had taken food his strength came back. And for some days he kept with the disciples who were in Damascus.

He lost no time in preaching throughout the synagogues that Jesus was the Son of God ??21 to the amazement of all his hearers, who said, "Is this not the man who in Jerusalem harried those who invoke this Name, the man who came here for the express purpose of carrying them all in chains to the high priests?"

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

But their plot came to the ears of Saul, and, although they kept watch on the gates day and night in order to make away with him,

And when he came to Jerusalem, he made an attempt to be joined to the disciples, but they were all in fear of him, not taking him for a disciple.

Barnabas, however, came to his assistance. He brought Saul to the Apostles, and related to them how, on his journey, he had seen the Lord, and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had fearlessly taught in the name of Jesus.

And so it came about that the Church, throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, enjoyed peace and became firmly established; and, ordering its life by reverence for the Lord and the help of the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.

And all the inhabitants of Lydda and of the Plain of Sharon saw him, and came over to the Lord's side.

And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.

And Peter arose and came with them; and when he had come they led him into the upper room, and all the widows stood by weeping and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.

This became known all over Joppa, and many came to believe in the Lord.

And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

About three o'clock one afternoon he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God who came in and said to him, "Cornelius."

and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, 'What is it, Lord?' And he said to him, 'Thy prayers and thy kind acts came up for a memorial before God,

AM], while he was wide awake, he had a vision in which an angel of God came to him [and spoke his name] "Cornelius."

And he was hungry and wished to eat; and while they were preparing a trance came upon him,

and he saw the heaven open, and a certain vessel like a great sheet came down, and resting upon the earth with four rope ends:

And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

A second time the voice came to him, "The things that God has cleansed you must not call unclean."
