And, as they were gazing intently into the heaven, while He was ascending, behold, also two men stood by them in white apparel,

who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into the heaven? This Jesus, Who was taken up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld Him ascending into Heaven."

This man, therefore, acquired a field with the reward of unrighteousness; and, falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out;

"It is needful, therefore, that one of these men??ho accompanied us all the time that the Lord went in and out among us,

And, praying, they said, "Thou, Lord, Who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two Thou didst choose,

Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven;

And they were all amazed, and perplexed, saying one to another, "What does this mean?"

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and declared to them, "Men of Judaea, and all those dwelling in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and give ear to my words;

'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 shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come.

"Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus, the Nazarene, a man accredited from God to you by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did through Him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know;

This Man, delivered up by the settled counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, having fastened to the cross, through the hand of lawless ones, did slay:

And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, was being carried along, whom they were wont to lay daily at the gate of the temple??hich was called "Beautiful"??o ask alms of those entering the temple;

And Peter, seeing it, spake to the people, "Men of Israel, why do ye wonder at this? Or why look ye so intently on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk

but ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked that a man?? murderer??e granted to you;

And His name, by the faith of His name, gave strength to this man, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is through Him gave him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

And many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand.

if we are this day examined in regard to a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this person has been made whole;

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, Whom ye crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, in Him does this man stand here before you well!

And in no one else is there salvation; for neither is there any other name under Heaven, that has been given among men, in Which we must be saved."

Now, beholding the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and ignorant men, they were wondering; they also were recognizing them, that they had been with Jesus;

and, seeing the man who had been healed, standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

saying, "What shall we do to these men? for, indeed, that a notable sign has been done through them is manifest to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it;

but, that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak no more to any man in This Name."

for the man, on whom this sign of healing had been done, was more than forty years old.

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

While remaining, did it not remain your own? and, when sold, did it not continue in your own authority? Why did you conceive in your heart this thing? You did not lie to men, but to God."

but the young men, rising up, wrapped him round; and, bearing him out, buried him.

And she immediately fell at his feet, and expired; and, coming in, the young men found her dead; and, carrying her forth, they buried her by her husband.

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

But a certain one, coming near, told them, "Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people!"

saying, "We strictly charged you not to teach in This Name; and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching! and intend to bring upon us the blood of This Man!"

But Peter and the apostles, answering, said, "It is proper to obey God rather than men.

But a certain one, having risen up in the council?? Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people??rdered to put the men without a little while.

And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves with regard to these men, what ye are about to do;

for before these days arose Theudas, alleging that he himself was somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves; who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were disbanded, and came to nothing.

And now I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for, if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown;

but look ye out, brethren, from among yourselves, seven well-attested men, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint over this business;

And the saying was pleasing to the 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 Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch;

Then they suborned men, who said, "We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and against God."

and set up false witnesses, who said, "This man does not cease speaking words against this holy place, and the law;

and they were removed to Shechem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Emmor, in Shechem.

This man led them out, having wrought wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

and he said, "Behold I see Heaven opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God!"

and, having thrust him forth outside of the city, they kept stoning him! And the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul.

And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

But Saul was laying waste the assembly, entering house after house; and, dragging men and women, was committing them to prison.

But a certain man, Simon by name, was in the city before, using sorcery, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, affirming himself to be some great one;

to whom all were giving heed, from small to great, saying, "This man is the power of God, which is called Great."

But, when they believed Philip proclaiming the glad tidings concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being immersed, both men and women.

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

But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought to acquire the gift of God with money!

And, having arisen, he went on; and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a state-officer of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;

asked from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that, if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

And the men who were journeying with him were standing speechless; hearing, indeed, the voice, but beholding no one.

and in a vision he saw a man, Ananias by name, coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive sight."

And Ananias answered, "Lord, I heard from many concerning this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem;

And he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name, for eight years lying prostrate on a couch, who was paralyzed.

And, Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent to him two men, entreating him, "Delay not to come to us!"

New a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of a band, called the Italian band??2 devout, and fearing God with all his house, giving many alms to the people, and praying to God continually??3 saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius!"

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

Now, as Peter was much perplexed in himself as to what the vision which he saw might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood at the gate;

And, while Peter was earnestly considering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are seeking you.

And Peter, going down to the men, said, "Behold, I am he whom ye are seeking; what is the cause for which ye are present?"

And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and one fearing God, well reported of also by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy angel to send for you to his house, and to hear words from you."

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

and he says to them, "Ye know that it is unlawful for a Jew to join himself with, or come to, one of another race; and yet God showed me that I should call no man common or unclean.

And Cornelius said, "Four days ago, until this hour, I was praying during the ninth hour in my house; and, behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,

saying, that he went in to men holding uncircumcision, and ate with them!

And, behold, immediately there stood three men at the house in which we were, having been sent to me from Caesarea.

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

And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene; who, indeed, having come to Antioch, were speaking to the Greeks also, publishing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.

And Paul, standing up, and beckoning with his hand, said, "Men of Israel, and ye who fear God, hearken!

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

and, having removed him, He raised up for them David to be their king; to whom bearing testimony, He said, 'I found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My will.'

But the Jews urged on the devout and reputable women, and the principal men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders;

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

And the multitudes, seeing what Paul did, lifted up their voice in the language of Lycaonia, saying, "The gods, made like to men, came down to us!"

and saying, "Men, why do ye these things? We also are men of like nature with you, proclaiming to you glad tidings, that ye should turn from these vanities to the living God, Who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them;

that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, even all the gentiles upon whom My name has been called,'

Then it seemed good to the apostles and elders, with the whole assembly, to send men, chosen from themselves, to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; Judas who is surnamed Barsabas, and Silas??eading men among the brethren;

it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, having chosen men, to send to you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

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

And a vision appeared to Paul by night: a certain man of Macedonia was standing, and beseeching him, saying, "Crossing over into Macedonia, help us!"

The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying, saying, "These men are servants of the Most High God; who, indeed, declare to you a way of salvation."

and, leading them forward to the magistrates, they said, "These men, being Jews, are greatly disturbing our city;

And, when it was day, the magistrates sent forth the serjeants, saying, "Release these men."

But the Jews, moved with jealousy, and taking to themselves certain evil men of the rabble, and gathering a multitude, were setting the city in an uproar; and, assaulting the house of Jason, they were seeking them to lead them, forth to the populace.

Many, of them, therefore, believed; also, of the reputable Grecian women, and of men, not a few.

for you bring to our ears certain strange things; we wish, therefore, to know what these things mean."

And Paul, having taken his stand in the midst of Mars Hill, said, "Men of Athens, in all respects I observe that ye are more than usually regardful of the deities;

and He made of one every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having marked out their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;
