"Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen.

"You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. You are doing just as your fathers did.

But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am just a man."

"Can anyone refuse the water for these people to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?"

As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning.

And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he also did to us;

But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are."

With this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written,

"I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated under Gamaliel, strictly according to the law of our fathers, being zealous for God just as you all are today.
