And when they were come into the city, they went up to the upper chamber, where were staying both Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude the brother of James.

And in those days Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, (the crowd of names who were together was about a hundred and twenty,)

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke forth to them, Men of Judaea, and all ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give heed to my words:

And having heard it they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, What shall we do, brethren?

And Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptised, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

And Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, which is the ninth hour;

who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, asked to receive alms.

And Peter, looking stedfastly upon him with John, said, Look on us.

But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean rise up and walk.

And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

And Peter, seeing it, answered the people, Men of Israel, why are ye astonished at this? or why do ye gaze on us as if we had by our own power or piety made him to walk?

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel,

But seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and uninstructed men, they wondered; and they recognised them that they were with Jesus.

But Peter and John answering said to them, If it be righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge ye;

But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldest lie to the Holy Spirit, and put aside for thyself a part of the price of the estate?

And Peter answered her, Tell me if ye gave the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.

And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo, the feet of those that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

so that they brought out the sick into the streets and put them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter, when he came, might overshadow some one of them.

But Peter answering, and the apostles, said, God must be obeyed rather than men.

And the apostles who were in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John;

And Peter said to him, Thy money go with thee to destruction, because thou hast thought that the gift of God can be obtained by money.

Now it came to pass that Peter, passing through all quarters, descended also to the saints who inhabited Lydda.

And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus, the Christ, heals thee: rise up, and make thy couch for thyself. And straightway he rose up.

But Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, beseeching him, Thou must not delay coming to us.

And Peter rising up went with them, whom, when arrived, they brought up into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping and shewing him the body-coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

But Peter, putting them all out, and kneeling down, prayed. And, turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, sat up.

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

And on the morrow, as these were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat.

And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.

And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

and having called some one, they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.

But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;

And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?

And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did him homage.

But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: I myself also am a man.

Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea who when he is come will speak to thee.

And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,

While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.

And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out:

for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,

But Peter began and set forth the matter to them in order, saying,

And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.

and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he went on to take Peter also: (and they were the days of unleavened bread:)

Peter therefore was kept in the prison; but unceasing prayer was made by the assembly to God concerning him.

And when Herod was going to bring him forth, that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards before the door kept the prison.

And lo, an angel of the Lord came there, and a light shone in the prison: and having smitten the side of Peter, he roused him up, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off his hands.

And Peter, being come to himself, said, Now I know certainly that the Lord has sent forth his angel and has taken me out of the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

and having recognised the voice of Peter, through joy did not open the entry, but running in, reported that Peter was standing before the entry.

But Peter continued knocking: and having opened, they saw him and were astonished.

And when it was day there was no small disturbance among the soldiers, what then was become of Peter.

And he was in bitter hostility with the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came to him with one accord, and, having gained Blastus the king's chamberlain, sought peace, because their country was nourished by the king's.

And much discussion having taken place, Peter, standing up, said to them, Brethren, ye know that from the earliest days God amongst you chose that the nations by my mouth should hear the word of the glad tidings and believe.

For a certain man by name Demetrius, a silver-beater, making silver temples of Artemis, brought no small gain to the artisans;

And when, having got away from them, we at last sailed away, we came by a direct course to Cos, and on the morrow to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.
