And, when they had entered, into the upper-story went they up, where remained behind - both 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 these days, Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, - and there was a multitude of names, of one accord, about a hundred and twenty, -

But, taking his stand, Peter with the eleven lifted up his voice, and sounded out unto them - Ye men of Judaea, and all ye who are sojourning in Jerusalem! Let, this, unto you be known, and give ear unto my declarations; -

And, when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles - What are we to do, brethren?

And Peter said unto them - Repent ye, and let each one of you be immersed, in the name of Jesus Christ, into the remission of your sins, - and ye shall receive the free-gift of the Holy Spirit;

Now, Peter and John, were going up into the temple, for the hour of prayer - the ninth;

Who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, was requesting to receive, an alms.

But Peter looking steadfastly at him - with John - said: Look on us!

But Peter said - Silver and gold, have none, but, what I have, the same, unto thee do give: - In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, Walk!

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

And Peter, seeing it, made answer unto the people: - Ye men of Israel! Why marvel ye at this man? Or, upon us, why are ye intently looking, as though, by our own power or godliness, we had made him walk?

Then Peter, filled with Holy Spirit, said unto them - Ye rulers of the people, and elders!

And, looking at Peter's boldness of speech, and John's, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, that they had been with Jesus;

But, Peter and John, answering, said unto them - Whether it be right in presence of God, unto you, to be hearkening, rather than unto God, judge!

But Peter said - Ananias! wherefore did Satan fill thy heart, that thou shouldst deal falsely with the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the field?

And Peter began to say unto her - Tell me! was it, for so much, ye gave up the field? And she said - Yea! for so much.

And, Peter, said unto her - Why was it agreed by you to put to the proof the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of them that have buried thy husband, are at the door, and they shall bear thee forth.

So that, even into the broad-ways, were they bringing forth the sick, and laying them on small couches and beds, in order that, if Peter were coming along, even perchance his shadow, might overshadow some one of them.

But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said - It is needful to be yielding obedience unto God rather than unto men: -

And the Apostles who were in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had welcomed the word of God, sent out unto them Peter and John;

And Peter said unto him - Thy silver, with thee, go to destruction! Because, the free-gift of God, thou didst suppose could, with money, be obtained!

And it came to pass that, Peter, going through all quarters went down unto the saints also dwelling in Lydda.

And Peter said unto him - Aeneas! Jesus Christ healeth thee! Arise, and smooth thy bed for thyself. And, straightway, he arose.

Now, Lydda being nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was therein, sent off two men unto him, beseeching him - Do not delay to come through unto us!

And Peter, arising, went with them, - whom, when he arrived, they brought up into the upper room; and there stood by him all the widows, weeping, and showing the tunics and mantles - whatsoever things Dorcas was making while she was with them.

But Peter, putting them all outside, knelt down and prayed; and, turning towards the body, said - Tabitha, arise! And she, opening her eyes and seeing Peter, sat up.

Now, therefore, send men unto Joppa, and fetch one Simon who is surnamed Peter, -

Now, on the morrow, as those men were journeying, and, unto the city, drawing near, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour;

And there came a voice unto him - Rise, Peter! slay and eat.

But Peter said - By no means, Lord! because, at no time, have I eaten anything common or unclean.

And, as within himself Peter was doubting what the vision which he had seen might mean, lo! the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

And, calling, enquired whether, Simon who was surnamed Peter, was there being entertained.

And, as Peter was pondering over the vision, the Spirit said - Lo! two men, seeking thee.

And Peter, going down unto the men, said - Lo! I, am he whom ye are seeking: What is the cause, for which ye are come?

And, when it came about that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and, falling at his feet, did homage.

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

Send, therefore, unto Joppa, and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter. The same is being entertained in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea.

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

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

And the faithful, of the circumcision, who had come with Peter, were amazed, - in that, upon the nations also, the free-gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out;

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

And, when Peter came up unto Jerusalem, they of the circumcision began to find fault with him,

But Peter, making a beginning, went on to set forth the matter unto them in order, saying -

Moreover heard a voice also, saying unto me - Rise, Peter! slay and eat.

And he related to us how he had seen the messenger in his house, standing, and saying - Send away unto Joppa, and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter;

And, seeing that it was acceptable unto the Jews, he went on to apprehend Peter also (now they were the days of unleavened bread), -

Peter, therefore, was kept in the prison; but, prayer, was, earnestly, being made by the assembly, unto God, concerning him.

And, when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that night, was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, guards, also, before the door, were keeping the prison.

And lo! a messenger of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in the cell; and, smiting the side of Peter, he roused him up, saying - Rise up quickly! And his chains fell off out of his hands.

And, Peter, coming to himself said - Now, know I, of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his messenger, and taken me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

And, recognizing the voice of Peter, by reason of her joy, she opened not the porch, - but, running in, bare tidings that Peter was standing before the porch. But, they, unto her, said - Thou art raving

And, Peter, continued knocking; and, opening, they saw him, and were amazed.

And, when it became day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what, then, Peter had become!

And, when much discussion had arisen, Peter standing up, said unto them - Brethren! Ye yourselves, well know that, in days long past, amongst you, God chose that, through my mouth, the nations should hear the word of the glad tidings, and believe.

And it came to pass, when we set sail, having torn ourselves from them, running a straight course, we came unto Cos, and, on the next day, unto Rhodes, - and from thence unto Patara;
