And as they were looking intently to heaven, he going, behold, two men were standing before them in white raiment;

And they said, Galilean men, why stand ye looking to heaven this Jesus, taken up from you to heaven, so shall he come which manner ye saw him going to heaven.

Men, brethren, this writing must be filled up, which the Holy Spirit spake before by mouth of David concerning Judas, being guide to them having taken Jesus.

Therefore must there, of these men having come with us in all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in and came out among us,

And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, circumspect men, from every nation of those under heaven.

And all were affected in mind, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What may this mean to be?

And Peter, having stood with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Men Jews, and all ye dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and hear ye my words:

And it shall be in the last days, says God, I pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elder dream dreams:

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

Men, Israelites, bear these words; Jesus the Nazarite, a man elected by God for you by powers and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, (as also ye yourselves know:)

Men, brethren, it is permitted to speak with freedom of speech to you of the patriarch David, for he died and was buried, and his tomb is with us even till this day.

And having heard, they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the sent, What shall we do, men, brethren?

And ye denied the Holy and Just, and demanded a man, a murderer, to be yielded to you.

And many of them having heard the word, believed; and the number of men was about five thousand.

If we are this day examined of the kindness of the sick man, by whom he has been saved;

And salvation is in no other: for neither is another name given under heaven among men, in which we must be saved.

And seeing the freedom of speech of Peter and John, and comprehending that they are illiterate men, and private individuals, they wondered; and they knew them, that they were with Jesus.

And seeing the man healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict.

Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that truly a known sign has been by them, manifest to all them dwelling in Jerusalem: and we cannot deny.

But that it be not more and more exposed to the wind among the people, let us threaten them with a threat, to speak no more in this name to any man.

For the man was more than forty years, upon whom this sign of healing was done.

And a certain one having come near, announced to them, saying, That, behold, the men which ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

For before these days Theudas arose, saying himself to be somebody: which a number of men followed, about four hundred, who was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were destroyed, and were for nothing.

Therefore, survey, brethren, seven men of you, being witnesses full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom ye shall set over this need.

And the word pleased before all the multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

And having risen, he went: and, behold, an Ethiopian man, an eunuch of great power of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come going to worship in Jerusalem,

And the men journeying with him stood astonished, hearing the voice truly, and seeing no one.

And he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and having put hand upon him, so that he might look up and see again.

And a certain man was in Cesarea by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italian,

And now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon, who is called Peter:

And as Peter was doubting in himself what the vision might be which he saw, and behold, the man sent from Cornelius having asked for Simon's house, stood at the gate,

And Peter reflecting concerning the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee.

And Peter having come down to the men sent from Cornelius to him, said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what the cause for which ye are present?

And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and fearing God, and witnessed of by the whole nation of the Jews, received intimation of the divine will by a holy messenger to send for thee to his house, and hear words of thee.
