They therefore having come together asked him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom of Israel?

And having said these words, as they were looking on he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their sight.

and they said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking at heaven? This Jesus taken up from you to heaven shall so come in the manner in which you have seen him go to heaven.

Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazoraean, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and prodigies and miracles, which God performed by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves know,

him has God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, as it was not possible that he should be held by it.

For David says of him, I saw the Lord always before me, he is on my right hand that I should not be moved;

Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God swore with an oath to him to set a descendant of his on his throne,

But Peter looking steadily at him with John, said, Look on us.

And taking him by the right hand he raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened,

And all the people saw him walking and praising God;

and they knew him, that he was the one who sat for charity at the beautiful gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and astonishment at what had happened to him.

And Peter seeing it answered the people, Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this? or why do you look intently at us as if by our power or piety we had made him walk?

The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied before Pilate when he decided to release him;

And by the faith of his name, his name has made strong this man whom you behold and know, and the faith which is by him has given him this entire soundness before you all.

Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you, of your brothers, like me; him shall you hear in all things which he shall speak to you;

And all the prophets, from Samuel and those following him in order, who have spoken, have also announced these days.

God having raised up his servant has sent him to you first, to bless you by turning each [one of you] from your evil ways.

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazoraean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him has this man stood before you sound.

And the young men arose and laid him out, and having carried him out buried him.

And the chief priest arose, and all those with him, being the sect of the Sadducees, and were filled with wrath,

And hearing this they entered into the temple early in the morning and taught. And the chief priest coming, and those with him, called the Sanhedrim together, and all the eldership of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

him has God exalted, a Prince and Saviour at his right hand, to give a change of mind to Israel and the forgiveness of sins.

And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit which God has given to those that obey him.

For before these days Theudas arose, saying that he was somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, adhered, who was destroyed, and all who obeyed him passed away and came to nothing.

After him arose Judas the Galilean, in the days of the census, and drew away people after him; and he was destroyed, and all who obeyed him were dispersed.

And they were persuaded by him, and calling the apostles and scourging them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.

Then they bribed men who said, We heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.

And they stirred up both the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and coming suddenly they seized him and led him to the Sanhedrim,

for we have heard him say, that Jesus this Nazoraean will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses gave us.

And all who sat in the Sanhedrin looking steadily at him saw his face like the face of an angel.

and said to him, Go out from your country and your kindred, and come to a land which I will show you.

And [God] gave him no inheritance in it, not the breadth of a foot, and promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no son.

And he gave him the ordinance of circumcision; and so he begat Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

And the patriarchs envying Joseph sold him into Egypt; and God was with him

and delivered him from all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and [he] made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

and they carried him back to Shechem and buried him in the tomb which Abraham bought for money of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem.

but being exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up and nourished him as her own son.

And seeing one injured he defended him, and executed judgment for the oppressed, smiting the Egyptian.

But he that injured his neighbor repelled him, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

And forty years being completed there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, an angel in a flame of fire, in a bush.

And the Lord said to him, Put off your shoes from your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy ground.

This is the Moses whom they denied, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? Him did God send to be a ruler and a redeemer by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.

This is he that was with the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received the living oracles to give us,

whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him away and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,

saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us; for this Moses who led us up out of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.

Our fathers in the wilderness received the tabernacle of the testimony, as he that spoke to Moses charged him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen;

And Solomon built him a house.

And when they heard these things they were enraged in their minds and gnashed their teeth upon him.

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

and casting him out of the city, stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man called Saul,

And pious men buried Stephen and made a great lamentation for him.

And the multitudes attended with one accord to the things said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the miracles which he performed.

And they attended to him because for a long time he had astonished them with his magic arts.

But Peter said to him, Your money go to perdition with you; because you have thought to purchase the gift of God with money.

And Philip running forward heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and he said, Do you really understand what you read?

And he said [No]; for how can I unless some one teaches me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

And the passage of Scripture which he was reading, was this; As a sheep is led to slaughter, and as a lamb before one that shears him is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.

And Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him the good news of Jesus.

And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

And when they went up from the water the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more; for he went his way rejoicing.

and asked of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of that way, he might bring them bound, men and women, to Jerusalem.

And he was going and had come nigh to Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven,

and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, Why do you persecute me?

And the men travelling with him stood amazed, hearing indeed the voice, but beholding no one.

And Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw nothing; and leading him by the hand they conducted him to Damascus.

And there was a certain disciple at Damascus by the name of Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

And the Lord said to him, Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for [a man] by the name of Saul of Tarsus; for behold, he prays,

and has seen a man by the name of Ananias coming and putting a hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name both before nations and kings, and the children of Israel;

for I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name.

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 all that heard him were astonished and said, Is not this he that destroyed those who called on this name at Jerusalem, and has come here for this purpose, that he might lead them bound to the chief priests?

And when some days had passed, the Jews took counsel to kill him;

and their design was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him;

but the disciples took him by night and sent him away by the wall, letting him down in a store-basket.

And going to Jerusalem he endeavored to join the disciples; and they all feared him, not believing that he was a disciple.

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

and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord; and he spoke and disputed with the Hellenists; and they undertook to kill him;

but the brothers knowing it led him away to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.

And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus Christ cures you; arise and make your bed for yourself. And he immediately arose;

and all those who lived at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and turned to the Lord.

But Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter was there sent two men to him requesting, Do not delay to come to us.

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.

saw clearly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.

And looking steadily at him and being afraid, he said, What is wanted, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and charities have come up as a memorial before God.

And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of the house servants, and a pious soldier of those that attended constantly on him,

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

And a voice came to him, Arise, Peter, kill and eat.

And a voice came to him again, a second time, What God has purified, regard not common.

And while Peter was considering of the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men seek you;

Then he called them in and entertained them. And the next day he arose and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.

And when Peter came in Cornelius met him, and falling down at his feet worshipped him.

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

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

but in every nation he that fears him and does righteousness is acceptable to him.

Jesus from Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and power, who went about doing good and curing all that were subjugated by the devil, for God was with him;

and we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the land of Judea, and at Jerusalem, whom also they killed, hanging him on a cross.

This [man] did God raise up on the third day, and permitted him to be made manifest,

not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, to us, who eat and drank with him after he rose from the dead;

To him all the prophets bear witness, that every one who believes in him has forgiveness of sins through his name.
