And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,

And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.

(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.

And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)

And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rushing of a violent wind, and all the house where they were was full of it.

And when this sound came to their ears, they all came together, and were greatly surprised because every man was hearing the words of the disciples in his special 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?

But fear came on every soul: and all sorts of wonders and signs were done by the Apostles.

And while he kept his hands on Peter and John, all the people came running together to the covered way which is named Solomon's, full of wonder.

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

And while they were talking to the people, the priests and the captain of the Temple and the Sadducees came up to them,

And at these words, Ananias went down on the earth, and his life went from him: and great fear came on all who were present.

And about three hours after, his wife, having no knowledge of what had taken place, came in.

And straight away she went down at his feet, and her life went from her: and the young men came in and saw her dead, and they took her out and put her in the earth with her husband.

Then great fear came on all the church and on all who had knowledge of these things.

And numbers of people came together from the towns round about Jerusalem, with those who were ill and those who were troubled with unclean spirits: and they were all made well.

But the men who were sent saw that they were not in the prison, and came back with the news,

And someone came and said to them, The men, whom you put in prison, are in the Temple 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 this there was Theudas, who said he was someone important, to whom about four hundred men gave their support: he was put to death, and his band was broken up and came to nothing.

And the people, with the rulers and the scribes, were moved against him, and they came and took him before the Sanhedrin,

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,

For unclean spirits came out from those who had them, crying with a loud voice; and a number of those who were ill and broken in body were made well.

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

And while they were going on their way, they came to some water, and the Ethiopian said, See, here is water; why may I not have baptism?

And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away; and the Ethiopian saw him no more, for he went on his way full of joy.

But Philip came to Azotus, and went through all the towns, preaching the good news, till he came to Caesarea.

And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;

And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.

Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,

And the day after that, they came to Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having got together his relations and his near friends.

And when Peter came in, Cornelius came to him and, falling down at his feet, gave him worship.

And so I came without question, when I was sent for. What then is your purpose in sending for me?

Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead.

While Peter was saying these words, the Holy Spirit came on all those who were hearing the word.

And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,

I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:

And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.

And at that minute, three men, sent from Caesarea, came to the house where we were.

And the Spirit gave me orders to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers came with me; and we went into that man's house:

And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.

Now in those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

And one of them, named Agabus, said publicly through the Spirit that there would be serious need of food all over the earth: which came about in the time of Claudius.

And a great light was seen shining in the room, and an angel of the Lord came to Peter and, touching him on his side so that he came out of his sleep, said, Get up quickly. And his chains came off his hands.

And when they had gone past the first and second watchmen they came to the iron door into the town, which came open by itself: and they went out and down one street; and then the angel went away.

And when Peter came to his senses he said, Now, truly, I am certain that the Lord has sent his angel and taken me out of the hands of Herod, against all the hopes of the Jews.

And he gave a blow on the door, and a young girl came to it, named Rhoda.

Then Paul and those who were with him went by ship from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and there John went away from them and came back to Jerusalem.

But they, going through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia; and they went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath and were seated.

But when this came to the ears of the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, they went running out among the people, parting their clothing, and crying out,

But some Jews came to that place from Antioch and Iconium, and got control over the people; and after stoning Paul, they had him pulled out of the town, taking him for dead.

She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.

And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
