Men of Israel, give ear to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man who had the approval of God, as was made clear to you by the great works and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves have knowledge,

He, having knowledge of the future, was talking of the coming again of Christ from the dead, that he was not kept in hell and his body did not see destruction.

And now, my brothers, I am conscious that you did this, as did your rulers, without knowledge.

And Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

And Jacob went down to Egypt, and came to his end there, and so did our fathers;

And he was hoping that his brothers would see that God had sent him to be their saviour; but they did not see.

And straight away the angel of the Lord sent a disease on him, because he did not give the glory to God: and his flesh was wasted away by worms, and so he came to his end.

But he, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction.

But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy.

And he said to them, Did you get the Holy Spirit when you had faith? And they said to him, No, we have had no knowledge of the Holy Spirit.

And he said, What sort of baptism did you have? And they said, The baptism of John.
