And while they were looking stedfastly toward heaven, as He went up, behold two men in white stood by them;

who said, Ye men of Galilee, why do ye stand gazing up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in the manner ye have seen Him going into heaven.

and said, Men and brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the holy Ghost spake by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus:

(Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling down on his face, burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out:

Wherefore it is necessary that one of these men, who have been conversant with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and out among us,

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

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

But Peter standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and listen to my words:

for these men are not drunk, as ye suppose; for it is but the third hour of the day.

"And it shall come to pass in the last days (saith God) that 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 that great and illustrious day of the Lord come.

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and prodigies, and signs, which God wrought by Him in the midst of you,

Men and brethren, allow me to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he is dead and buried, and his sepulchre is among us to this day.

And a certain man who had been lame from his birth was carried along; whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those that were going into the temple:

And as the lame man that was healed had hold of Peter and John, all the people being astonished ran together to them to the porch called Solomon's porch.

And Peter seeing this said to the people, Men of Israel, why marvel ye at this, or why look ye so earnestly on us, as if by our own power or piety we had made this man able to walk?

And through faith in his name, hath strengthened this man, whom ye see and know: his name, I say, and saith in Him, hath wrought this perfect cure before you all.

But many of them who heard the word, believed: and the number of the men was about five thousand.

and elders of Israel, if we are this day examined about the benefit done to the impotent man,

by what means he is cured, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, but whom God hath raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole.

And there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we can be saved.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were plain and illiterate men, they were amazed; and they knew them again that they had been with Jesus:

but seeing the man that was cured standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

and conferred among themselves, saying, What shall we do with these men? for that indeed an evident miracle hath been wrought by them is manifest to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

But that it may spread no farther among the people, let us severely charge them to speak no more to any man in this name.

For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miraculous cure was wrought.

a Levite, by birth a Cyprian, having an estate, sold it and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.

But a certain man named Ananias, together with Sapphira his wife,

While it remained, did it not remain thy own? and when sold, was it not in thy own power? what is the meaning that thou hast taken this into thine heart? Thou hast not lyed to men, but to God.

And some of the young men arose, and wrapped him up; and they carried him out, and buried him.

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

And true believers were the more willingly added to the Lord, even multitudes both of men and women.

when there came one and told them, saying, behold, the men whom ye put in prison, are in the temple teaching the people.

saying, Did not we strictly charge you not to teach in this name? and behold ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and would bring this man's blood upon us.

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

Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves, what ye are about to do, as to these men.

For some time ago one Theudas arose, pretending to be some extraordinary person, to whom was joined a number of men, about four hundred: who was slain, and all that followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.

And therefore as to the present affair I advise you to refrain from these men and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing;

Wherefore, brethren, look out from among you seven men of good character, full of the holy Spirit, and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this matter:

And the advice 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.

and were carried to Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre which he had bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.

and he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.

and cast him out of the city and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man, whose name was Saul.

And some pious men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation for him.

But Saul made havock of the church, entring into the houses, and dragging out men and women, committed them to prison.

But there was before in the city a man named Simon practising magic and bewitching the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great person.

Whom they all greatly regarded, from the lest to the greatest, saying, This man is as the great power of God.

But as they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women;

And when Simon saw that the holy Spirit was given by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money,

But Peter said unto him, Let thy money perish with thee, since thou thoughtest to purchase the gift of God with money.

And he arose and went; and behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, and her high-treasurer, who had come to Jerusalem to worship,

that if he should find any of this persuasion, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

And the men that went along with him, stood astonished, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.

for behold he is praying, and hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand upon him, that he might recover his sight.

And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much mischief he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

And there he found a man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, with the palsy.

And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter was there sent two men to him, intreating him that he would not delay to come to them.

Now there was a certain man at Cesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band: a pious man,

And now send men to Joppa, and fetch hither one Simon, whose sirname is Peter.

Now while Peter was doubting in himself what might be the meaning of the vision which he had seen, behold the men that were sent from Cornelius, having enquired for Simon's house, stood at the door;

And as Peter was pondering upon the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold there are three men enquiring for thee:

Then Peter went down to the men that were sent to him from Cornelius, and said, Behold I am the person whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye are come?

And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of a good character among all the nation of the Jews, hath been warned from God by an holy angel, to send for thee to his house, and to hear what thou shalt say.

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

And he said unto them, Ye know how unlawful it is for a man that is a Jew, to associate with or go to the house of one of another nation: but God hath shewn me, that I should not call any man polluted or unclean.

And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting till this hour, and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, when behold a man stood before me in bright raiment,

Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and didst eat with them.

And behold at that very time there came three men to the house where I was, sent from Cesarea to me.

And the Spirit ordered me to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brethren also came with me, and we entred into the man's house;

and he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and fetch hither Simon,

For he was a good man, and full of the holy Spirit, and of faith: and many were added unto the Lord.

And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man:

Then Paul stood up, and made a sign with his hand, and said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

And then they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the Son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.

And having removed him, He raised up David for their king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will perform all my will.

Of this man's seed, according to the promise, hath God raised up to Israel Jesus the Saviour:

---Men and brethren, children of the race of Abraham, and all those among you that fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

And there was sitting at Lystra, a man disabled in his feet, who had never walked at all, being lame from his birth.

This man heard Paul speaking; who looking earnestly at him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

And the people, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voice, saying in the Lycaonian tongue, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

crying out, and saying, "Sirs, why do ye these things? we also are men subject to the like infirmities with you, and we preach the gospel unto you, that ye may turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea,

Then it seemed good to the apostles, and elders, and the whole church, to send men chose from among themselves to Antioch along with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas sirnamed Barsabas, and Silas; leading men among the brethren:

it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you, with our beloved brethren Barnabas and Paul,

And Paul saw a vision in the night, There stood a certain man of Macedonia, intreating him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.

And when they brought them to the governors, they said, These men cause great disturbance in our city, for they are Jews, and teach customs,

And therefore many of them believed: and of the Grecian women of quality, and of men likewise not a few.

For thou bringest strange things to our ears; we would therefore know what these things mean.

Then Paul stood up in the midst of the Areopagus and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that you are indeed over-much religious:

nor is He served by the hands of men, as needing any thing: for He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

and hath made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having determined the seasons before-appointed them, and the bounds of their habitation;

Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to imagine that the Deity is like to gold, or silver, or stone, carved by the art and device of man.

Wherefore though God overlooked the times of this ignorance, He now requireth all men every where to repent.

Because He hath fixed a day, in which He will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom He hath appointed thereto; having given assurance of it to all men, by raising Him from the dead.

for I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands on thee to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city."
