Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.

And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What can this mean?

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Men of Judea, and all that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words.

"It shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams;

the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the day of the Lord cometh, the great and notable day.

Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God to you by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God wrought by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know,

this man, being delivered up by the settled purpose and foreknowledge of God, ye, by the hand of godless men, crucified and slew.

And a certain man lame from his birth was carried along, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who entered the temple;

and they recognized him as the man that sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.

But Peter seeing it, answered the people: Men of Israel, why wonder ye at this? Or why look ye earnestly on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man to walk?

And his name, through faith in his name, made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yea, the faith which is through him gave him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

Many however of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became five thousand.

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,by him doth this man stand here before you sound.

And there is salvation in no other; for there is not another name under heaven, that hath been given among men, by which we must be saved.

And when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they wondered; and they recognized them as having been with Jesus.

And seeing the man that had been cured standing with them, they could say nothing in reply.

saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a remarkable sign hath been wrought by them is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

For the man was above forty years old, on whom this sign of the healing had been wrought.

having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.

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

While it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie to men, but to God.

And the young men arose, and wrapt him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men, when they came in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.

and more and more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;

But one came and brought them word, Lo! the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.

But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, in high esteem with all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while,

For before these days arose Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and came to nought.

After this man arose Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the registering, and drew people away after him; he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this design or this work be of men, it will come to nought;

Therefore, brethren, look out among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint over this business;

And what was said pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch,

But Saul ravaged the church, entering house after house, and dragging both men and women, committed them to prison.

But before their arrival a certain man, named Simon, was in the city, a man practising sorcery, and amazing the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was some great person;

to whom they gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the Power of God, which is called Great.

But when they believed Philip, publishing the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

But Simon, seeing that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles hands, offered them money,

But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee! because thou didst think to obtain the gift of God with money.

And he arose and went; and lo! a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a high officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,

a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God always,

And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, who is surnamed Peter;

Now, while Peter was doubting within himself what the vision which he had seen meant, lo! the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simons house, and stood before the gate;

And while Peter was meditating on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men are seeking thee;

And Peter went down to the men and said, Behold, I am he whom ye are seeking; for what cause have ye come?

And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and to hear words from thee.

But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a Jew to keep company with one of another nation, or to come near him; but God showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

And Cornelius said, Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour was praying in my house; and lo! a man stood before me in bright clothing,

the word which he sent to the sons of Israel, publishing glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ; he is Lord of all men.

saying, Thou didst go in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

And lo! immediately there stood three men at the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.

And afterward they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

and having removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king, to whom he gave testimony, saying, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will do all my will."

From the seed of this man hath God, according to his promise, brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

But the Jews stirred up the women of rank who worshipped God, and the chief men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them from their borders.

And at Lystra there sat a certain man who had not the use of his feet, a cripple from his birth, who never had walked.

men who have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But Paul did not think it proper to take with them a man who had left them in Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia beseeching him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.

This woman followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who announce to you the way of salvation.
