They, therefore, having come together, began to question him, saying - Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto Israel?

And having said these things, as they were beholding, he was lifted up, and a cloud caught him away from their eyes.

Who also said - Men of Galilee! why stand ye looking into heaven? This Jesus who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like manner as ye yourselves have gazed upon him going into heaven.

Ye men of Israel! hear these words: - Jesus the Nazarene, a man pointed out of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did through him in your midst, just as ye yourselves know,

Whom, God, raised up, loosing the pangs of death, inasmuch as it was, not possible, for him to continue held fast by it.

For, David, saith concerning him - I foresaw the Lord before me continually, because he is, on my right hand, that I may not be shaken;

Being then, a prophet, and knowing that, with an oath, God had sworn unto him, of the fruit of his loins, to seat on his throne,

Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know: that, both Lord and Christ, hath God made him, even the same Jesus whom, ye, crucified!

For, unto you, is the promise, and unto your children, - and unto all them who are afar off: as many soever as the Lord our God shall call unto him.

But Peter looking steadfastly at him - with John - said: Look on us!

And, laying hold of him by the right hand, he raised him up; and, instantly, were his feet and ankles strengthened; -

And all the people saw him, walking and praising God;

And they began to recognise him, that, the same, was he who, for the alms, used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; - and they were filled with amazement and transport at what had happened unto him.

And Peter, seeing it, made answer unto the people: - Ye men of Israel! Why marvel ye at this man? Or, upon us, why are ye intently looking, as though, by our own power or godliness, we had made him walk?

The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, - the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus: - whom, ye, indeed, delivered up and denied to Pilate's, face when he had adjudged to release him;

And, by the faith of his name, unto this man whom ye see and know, hath his name given strength, - yea, the faith which is through him, hath given unto him this perfect soundness, over against you all!

And he may send forth him who had been fore-appointed for you - Christ Jesus:

Moses, indeed, said - A prophet, unto you, shall the Lord God raise up among your brethren, like unto me: unto him, shall ye hearken respecting all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you.

Unto you first, God - having raised up his Servant - hath sent him forth, ready to bless you, when ye are turning away, each one, from your wickednesses.

Be it known unto you all, and unto all the people of Israel: that, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, - whom, ye, crucified, whom, God, raised from among the dead, in him, doth, this man stand by, in your presence, whole.

But the young men, rising up, wrapped him about, and, bearing him forth, buried him.

But the High-priest, arising, and all who were with him, - being the sect of the Sadducees, - were filled with jealousy,

Now, when they heard this, they entered, under the dawn, into the temple, and began teaching. And the High-priest and they who were with him, arriving, called together the high-council, and all the senate of the sons of Israel; and sent off unto the prison, to have them brought.

The God of our fathers, hath raised up Jesus, - whom, ye, got into your hands, suspending him upon a tree: -

Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand, - to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.

And, we, are witnesses of these things, - also the Holy Spirit, which God hath given unto them who are yielding obedience unto him.

For, before these days, there rose up one Theudas, affirming, himself, to be somebody, - unto whom was inclined a number of men, about four hundred; who was slain, and, all as many as had been trusting in him, were disbanded, and came to nothing.

After him, rose up Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the enrolling, and drew a people into revolt after him; and, he, perished, and, all, as many as had trusted in him, were scattered.

And they were persuaded by him; and, calling unto them the Apostles, they, with beating, charged them not be speaking upon the name of Jesus; and let them go.

Then, they set on men who were saying - We have heard him speaking profane things against Moses and God.

And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes; and, coming upon him, they caught him away, and led him into the high-council.

For we have heard him saying - This Jesus the Nazarene, will overthrow this place, and will change the customs which, Moses, delivered unto us.

And, looking steadfastly at him, all they who were sitting in the high-council, saw his face, as if the face of a messenger;

And said unto him - Get thee forth, out of thy land, and from among thy kindred, and come unto the land which, unto thee, I will point out.

Then, coming forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran; and, from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, in which, ye, now dwell;

And gave him no inheritance therein, not even a place to set his foot on; and yet promised to give it unto him in possession, and unto his seed after him, when as yet he had not a child.

And he gave unto him a covenant of circumcision; and, thus, he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs.

And, the patriarchs, being jealous of Joseph, gave him up into Egypt; and, God, was, with him,

And rescued him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt and all his house.

But, when he was exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh rescued him, and nourished him for herself, as a son.

And, when there was being fulfilled unto him a period of forty years, it came up on his heart to look after his brethren the sons of Israel;

And, seeing one being wronged, he defended him, and avenged him that was getting worn out, smiting the Egyptian.

But, he that was wronging his neighbour, thrust him away, saying - Who hath appointed, thee, to be ruler and judge over us?

And, when forty years were fulfilled, there appeared unto him, in the desert of Mount Sinai, a messenger, in a flame of fire, in a bush.

And the Lord said unto him - Loose the sandals of thy feet; for, the place whereon thou art standing, is, hallowed ground.

The same Moses whom they had refused, saying - Who hath appointed thee to be ruler and judge? the same, both as ruler and redeemer, did God send, by the hand of the messenger who had appeared unto him in the bush:

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:

Unto whom, our fathers would not become obedient, but thrust him away, and turned in their hearts unto Egypt,

Saying unto Aaron - Make as gods who shall go before us; for, as for this Moses who brought us forth out of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him!

But, Solomon, built him a house.

And, while they were hearing these things, they were being pierced in their hearts, and began gnashing their teeth against him.

And, crying out with a loud voice, they held their ears, and rushed with one accord upon him;

And, thrusting him forth outside the city, proceeded to stone him. And, the witnesses, laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

Howbeit reverent men assisted at the burial of Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

And the multitudes began to give heed unto the things that were being spoken by Philip, with one accord, when they heard him, and saw the signs which he was working.

And they were giving heed to him, because that, for a considerable time, with his magical arts, he had astonished them.

And Peter said unto him - Thy silver, with thee, go to destruction! Because, the free-gift of God, thou didst suppose could, with money, be obtained!

And, running near, Philip heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said - Dost thou, then, understand what thou art reading?

And, he, said - How indeed should be able - unless someone shall guide me? And he called upon Philip, to come up and sit with him.

Now, the passage of Scripture which he was reading, was, this: - As a sheep, unto slaughter, was he led, and, as a lamb, before him that sheareth it, is dumb, so, he openeth not his mouth.

And Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, told him the glad tidings of Jesus.

And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down, both, into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, - and he immersed him.

But, when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more; for he was going on his way rejoicing.

asked from him letters for Damascus, unto the synagogues; to the end that, if he should find, any, who were of The Way, whether men or women, he might bring them, bound, unto Jerusalem.

But, as he was journeying, it came to pass that he was drawing near unto Damascus, and, suddenly, there flashed around him a light out of heaven;

And, falling unto the earth, he heard a voice saying unto him - Saul! Saul! why, me, art thou persecuting?

But, the men who were accompanying him, stood speechless, - hearing, indeed, the voice, but beholding no one.

And Saul arose from the earth, and, his eyes being opened, he could see nothing; and, taking him by the hand, they led him into Damascus, -

Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias; and, the Lord, said unto him in a vision - Ananias! And, he, said - Lo! I, am here , Lord!

And the Lord said unto him - Rise! go into the street which is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, one Saul, by name, of Tarsus. For lo! he is praying, -

And hath seen a man in a vision, Ananias by name, coming in and laying on him his hands, to the intent he should see.

But the Lord said unto him - Be going thy way; for, a choice vessel unto me, is this man, to bear my name before both thenations and kings, and the sons of Israel;

For, I, will let him understand how many things he must needs, for my name, suffer.

And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and, laying upon him his hands, said - Saul, brother! The Lord, hath sent me, - Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way by which thou wast coming, - that thou mayest recover sight, and be filled with Holy Spirit.

And, straightway, there fell from him - from his eyes, - as it were scales; he recovered sight also, and, arising, was immersed:

Now, when a considerable number of days were being fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;

But their plot was made known unto Saul, - and they were even narrowly watching the gates, both day and night, that they might kill him;

But the disciples, taking him by night, through the wall, let him down, lowering him in a basket.

And, when he had arrived in Jerusalem, he made attempts to join himself unto the disciples; and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

But, Barnabas, taking him, brought him unto the apostles, and related unto them, - how, in the way, he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken unto him; and how, in Damascus, he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.

And was both speaking and discussing with the Grecian Jews, - but, they, were setting to work to kill him.

And the brethren, discovering it, brought him down into Caesarea, and sent him away unto Tarsus.

And Peter said unto him - Aeneas! Jesus Christ healeth thee! Arise, and smooth thy bed for thyself. And, straightway, he arose.

And all who dwelt in Lydda and Saron, saw him, - and, they, turned unto the Lord.

Now, Lydda being nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was therein, sent off two men unto him, beseeching him - Do not delay to come through unto us!

And Peter, arising, went with them, - whom, when he arrived, they brought up into the upper room; and there stood by him all the widows, weeping, and showing the tunics and mantles - whatsoever things Dorcas was making while she was with them.

Saw, in a vision, manifestly, as if about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God, coming in unto him, and saying unto him - Cornelius!

And he, looking steadfastly at him, and becoming full of fear, said - What is it, Lord? And he said unto him - Thy prayers and thine alms, have gone up for a memorial before God.

And, when the messenger who had been speaking with him had departed, calling two of the domestics, and a devout soldier of them that constantly attended him,

But he became hungry, and wished to eat, - and, while they were making ready, there came upon him a trance;

And there came a voice unto him - Rise, Peter! slay and eat.

And a voice came again, a second time, unto him - What things, God, hath cleansed, be not, thou, making common.

Inviting them in, therefore, he entertained them; but, on the morrow, he rose up and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren who were from Joppa went with him;

And, when it came about that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and, falling at his feet, did homage.

But, Peter, raised him up, saying - Arise! I also myself, am, a man.

And, conversing with him, he went in, and findeth many come together;

But, in every nation, he that feareth him and worketh righteousness, is acceptable unto him.

How God anointed him with Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the adversary, because, God, was with him.

The same, God raised up on the third day, and gave him to become, manifest,

Not unto all the people, but unto witnesses who had been fore-appointed by God, unto us, who, indeed, did eat and drink with him after his rising from among the dead.
