And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.

And in those days Peter got up among the brothers (there were about one hundred and twenty of them), and said,

But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice, O men of Judaea, and all you who are living in Jerusalem, take note of this and give ear to my words.

Now when these words came to their ears their hearts were troubled, and they said to Peter and the other Apostles, Brothers, what are we to do?

And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

Now Peter and John were going up to the Temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer;

He then, seeing Peter and John going into the Temple, made a request to them.

And Peter, looking at him, with John, said, Keep your eyes on us.

But Peter said, I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up on your feet.

And while he kept his hands on Peter and John, all the people came running together to the covered way which is named Solomon's, full of wonder.

And when Peter saw it he said to the people, You men of Israel, why are you so greatly surprised at this man? or why are you looking at us as if by our power or virtue we had given him the use of his legs?

Then sending for Peter and John, they said, By what power and in whose name have you done this?

Then Peter, being full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, O you rulers of the people and men of authority,

Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus.

But Peter and John in answer said to them, It is for you to say if it is right in the eyes of God to give attention to you more than to God:

But Peter said, Ananias, why has the Evil One put it into your heart to be false to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

And Peter said to her, Give me an answer: was this amount of money the price of the land? And she said, Yes, it was.

But Peter said to her, Why have you made an agreement together to be false to the Spirit of the Lord? See, the feet of the young men who have put the body of your husband in the earth, are at the door, and they will take you out.

And they even took into the streets people who were ill, and put them on beds, so that when Peter went by, some of them might be in his shade.

But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said, We have to do the orders of God, not of man.

But they were not able to get the better of him, for his words were full of wisdom and of the Spirit.

Now when the Apostles at Jerusalem had news that the people of Samaria had taken the word of God into their hearts, they sent to them Peter and John;

But Peter said, May your money come to destruction with you, because you had the idea that what is freely given by God may be got for a price.

For I see that you are prisoned in bitter envy and the chains of sin.

And it came about that while Peter was going through all parts of the country he came to the saints who were living at Lydda.

And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you well: get up and make your bed. And straight away he got up.

And because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having knowledge that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to come to them straight away.

And Peter went with them. And when he had come, they took him into the room: and all the widows were there, weeping and putting before him the coats and clothing which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

But Peter made them all go outside, and went down on his knees in prayer; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, get up. And, opening her eyes, she saw Peter and got up.

Now send men to Joppa, and get one Simon, named Peter,

Now the day after, when they were on their journey and were near the town, Peter went up to the top of the house for prayer, about the sixth hour:

And a voice came to him, saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.

But Peter said, No, Lord; for I have never taken food which is common or unclean.

Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,

To see if Simon, named Peter, was living there.

And, while Peter was turning the vision over in his mind, the Spirit said to him, See, three men are looking for you.

And Peter went down to the men, and said, I am the man you are looking for: why have you come?

And when Peter came in, Cornelius came to him and, falling down at his feet, gave him worship.

But Peter, lifting him up, said, Get up, for I am a man as you are.

Send, then, to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you; he is living in the house of Simon, a leather-worker, by the sea.

Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons:

While Peter was saying these words, the Holy Spirit came on all those who were hearing the word.

And the Jews of the faith, who had come with Peter, were full of wonder, because the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles,

And they were talking in tongues, and giving glory to God. Then Peter said,

And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,

But Peter gave them an account of it all in order, saying to them,

And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.

And he gave us an account of how he had seen the angel in his house, saying, Send to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you;

And when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he went on to take Peter in addition. This was at the time of the feast of unleavened bread.

So Peter was kept in prison: but the church made strong prayer to God for him.

And when Herod was about to take him out, the same night Peter was sleeping in chains between two armed men, and the watchmen were keeping watch before the door of the prison.

And a great light was seen shining in the room, and an angel of the Lord came to Peter and, touching him on his side so that he came out of his sleep, said, Get up quickly. And his chains came off his hands.

And when Peter came to his senses he said, Now, truly, I am certain that the Lord has sent his angel and taken me out of the hands of Herod, against all the hopes of the Jews.

And hearing the voice of Peter, in her joy she went running, without opening the door, to say that Peter was outside.

But Peter went on giving blows on the door: and when it was open and they saw him, they were full of wonder.

Now when it was day, the armed men were greatly troubled about what had become of Peter.

But those Jews who had not the faith, made the minds of the Gentiles bitter against the brothers.

And when there had been much discussion, Peter got up and said to them, My brothers, you have knowledge that some time back it was God's pleasure that by my mouth the good news might be given to the Gentiles so that they might have faith.

So then, because these things may not be doubted, it would be better for you to be quiet, and do nothing unwise.

And after parting from them, we put out to sea and came straight to Cos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from there to Patara:

And it would have been better if they had come here to make a statement, if they have anything against me.

And when they had been without food for a long time, Paul got up among them and said, Friends, it would have been better if you had given attention to me and not gone sailing out from Crete, to undergo this damage and loss.
