And, while they were looking steadfastly into heaven as he was going his way, then lo! two men had taken their stand beside them, in white garments, -

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.

This man therefore had possessed himself of a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, - and falling headlong burst asunder in the midst, and forth gushed all his bowels;

For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let his encampment become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein! And - his overseership, let a different man take!

It is needful then that, of the men who companied with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out over us,

And, praying, they said - Thou Lord! observer of the hearts of all men! shew forth whom thou hast chosen, - of these two, one; -

Now there were in Jerusalem sojourning Jews, reverent men from every nation who were under heaven;

But, taking his stand, Peter with the eleven lifted up his voice, and sounded out unto them - Ye men of Judaea, and all ye who are sojourning in Jerusalem! Let, this, unto you be known, and give ear unto my declarations; -

For not, as, ye, suppose, are these men drunken, for it is the third hour of the day; -

And it shall be, in the last days saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and, your young men, visions shall see and, your elders, in dreams shall dream, -

And, even upon my men-servants and upon my maid-servants in those days, will I pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy;

The sun, shall be turned into darkness and, the moon, into blood, - before the coming of the day of the Lord, the great and manifest day ;

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,

The same, by the marked out counsel and foreknowledge of God given up, through the hands of lawless men, suspending, ye slew,

Because thou wilt not abandon my soul unto hades, neither wilt thou give thy man of lovingkindness to see corruption;

And, a certain man, who had been, lame from his mother's womb, was being carried, - whom they used to lay daily at the door of the temple - the door called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them who were entering into the temple:

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?

But, ye, denied, the Holy and Righteous One, and claimed a man that was a murderer to be granted you;

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!

Howbeit, many of them that heard the word, believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand.

If, we, this day, are to be examined for doing good to a sick man, - in whom, this, man hath been made well,

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.

And there is in no one else, salvation, for, neither is there any other name, under heaven, which hath been set forth among men, in which we must needs be saved.

And, looking at Peter's boldness of speech, and John's, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, that they had been with Jesus;

Seeing, the man also standing, with them, even the man who had been cured, they had nothing wherewith to contradict.

Saying - What are we to do with these men? For, indeed, that a notable sign hath come to pass through their means, unto all who are dwelling in Jerusalem, is manifest, and we cannot deny it !

Nevertheless, lest it further spread abroad among the people, let us charge them with threats, to be no more speaking upon this name, to any soul of man.

For, more than forty years old, was the man, upon whom had taken place, this healing sign.

Having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the feet of the Apostles.

But, a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

While it remained, was it not, as thine own, it remained? and, when sold, was it not, in thine own authority, that it still continued? Why was it that thou didst contrive in thy heart this deed? Thou hast not dealt falsely with men but, with God.

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

And she fell instantly at his feet, and expired. And the young men, coming in, found her dead; and, bearing her forth, they buried her with her husband.

And, the more, were being added, when they believed in the Lord, throngs both of men and women; -

But some one, entering, brought tidings unto them - Lo! the men whom ye put in the prison, are in the temple, standing, and teaching the people!

Saying - Strictly, did we charge you not to be teaching upon this name; and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are minded to bring down upon us, the blood of this man.

But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said - It is needful to be yielding obedience unto God rather than unto men: -

But a certain man, rising up in the high-council, by name Gamaliel, a law-teacher honoured by all the people, gave orders to put the men, outside, for a little, -

And said unto them - Men of Israel! be taking heed unto yourselves, what ye are about to inflict upon these men.

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.

Now, therefore, I say unto you - stand aloof from these men, and let them alone; because if, of men, be this project or this work, it will be overthrown, -

But look out for yourselves, brethren, seven men from among you, who can be well-attested, full of Spirit and wisdom, - whom we will appoint over this need;

And the word was pleasing in the sight of all the throng; and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith and Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicholaus, a proselyte of Antioch;

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

And they set up false witnesses, who said - This man, ceaseth not speaking things against this holy place and the law;

On the following day also, he appeared unto them, as they were contending, and would have reconciled them in peace, saying - Men! ye are, brothers! Wherefore wrong ye one another?

And said - Lo! I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man, standing, on the right hand of God.

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.

But, Saul, went on to lay waste the assembly, along the houses, going in, and, dragging off both men and women, was

But, a certain man named Simon, was already in the city, practising magical arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, - saying that himself was someone great:

But, when they believed Philip telling the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they proceeded to be immersed, both men and women.

But Simon, seeing that, through means of the laying on of the hands of the Apostles, the Spirit was being given, offered unto them money,

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, arising, he journeyed. And lo! a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, one in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure whohad come to worship in Jerusalem;

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

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.

And Ananias, answered - Lord! I have heard from many concerning this man, how many evil things unto thy saints he hath done in Jerusalem;

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;

And he found there a certain man, by name Aeneas, who, for eight years, had been lying prostrate upon a bed, for he was paralysed.

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!

But, a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italian, -

Now, therefore, send men unto Joppa, and fetch one Simon who is surnamed Peter, -

Now, on the morrow, as those men were journeying, and, unto the city, drawing near, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour;

And, as within himself Peter was doubting what the vision which he had seen might mean, lo! the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

And, as Peter was pondering over the vision, the Spirit said - Lo! two men, seeking thee.

And Peter, going down unto the men, said - Lo! I, am he whom ye are seeking: What is the cause, for which ye are come?

And they said - Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well-attested by the whole nation of the Jews, hath been divinely instructed by a holy messenger to send for thee unto his house, and to hear words from thee.

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

And said unto the - Ye, well know, how unlawful it is, for, a Jew, to be joining himself or coming in unto one of another race. And yet, unto me, hath God pointed out that I should be calling no man, common or unclean.

And Cornelius said - Four days ago, counting unto this very hour, I was keeping, the ninth hour, as one of prayer, in my house. And lo! a man stood before me, in bright clothing,

Surely then, the water, can no man forbid, that these should not be immersed, - seeing that, the Holy Spirit, they have received, as well as we.

Saying - he went in unto men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.

And lo! immediately, three men halted at the house wherein we were, sent from Caesarea unto me.

And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also; and we entered into the house of the man,

Because he was a good man, and full of Holy Spirit and faith; and a considerable multitude were added unto the Lord.

And, the populace, began to shout - A god's, voice, and not, a man's!

And, passing through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false-prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus;

Who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. The same, calling for Barnabas and Saul, sought to hear the word of God.

And Paul, standing up, and making a sign with his hand, said - Ye men of Israel! and such as revere God! hearken: -

And, from that time, they asked for themselves a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years;

From this man's seed, hath God, according to promise, brought unto Israel, a saviour - Jesus:

Wherefore also, in a different place , he saith - Thou wilt not give thy man of lovingkindness to see corruption.

Be it known unto you, therefore, brethren, - that, through this man, unto you, remission of sins is declared;

And, from all things from which ye could not, by the law of Moses, be justified, by this man, everyone that believeth, is justified.

But, the Jews, urged on the devout women of the higher class, and the chief men of the city, and roused up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, - and thrust them out from their bounds.

And, a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, was sitting, - lame from his mother's womb, who never had walked.

This man, hearkened unto Paul, as he was speaking, - who, looking steadfastly at him, and seeing he had faith to be made well,

And, the multitudes, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia - The gods, made like unto men, have come down unto us!

and saying - Men! Why, these things, are ye doing? We also, of like nature with you, are men, bringing you the good news, that from these vain things, ye should be turning unto a living God: - Who made heaven and the earth and the sea and all things therein;

That the residues of men may seek out the Lord, and all the nations upon whom my name hath been called, saith the Lord that doeth these things,

Then, seemed it good unto the Apostles and the Elders with the whole Assembly to send chosen men from among them unto Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, - even Judas who is called Barsabbas, and Silas, men taking a lead among the brethren:

It seemed good unto us, coming to be of one accord, that we should choose men and send them unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, -

men who have given up their lives in behalf of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And, a vision, by night, unto Paul appeared: - A man of Macedonia, there was, standing and beseeching him, and saying - Come over into Macedonia, and bring us succour!

The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying aloud, saying - These men, are servants of the Most High God, - who, indeed, are declaring unto you a way of salvation.

and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said - These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,

And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying - Let those men go!
