And when they were come in to the city, they went up into an upper room, where Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude the brother of James, usually abode.

And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, (now the number of the persons that were together was about an hundred and twenty,)

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:

Now when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

And Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Spirit:

Now Peter and John were going up to the temple together at the hour of prayer, which is the ninth hour.

who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked alms of them.

But Peter, and John, looking earnestly at him said, Look on us.

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

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?

Then Peter filled with the holy Spirit said unto them, Ye rulers of the people,

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 Peter and John answered them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge ye:

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan so filled thine heart, that thou shouldst lie to the holy Ghost, and keep back part of the price of the land?

And Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.

Then Peter said unto her, Wherefore have ye agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold the feet of those, who have been burying thy husband, now at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

insomuch that they brought the sick out into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at lest the shadow of Peter, as he came by, might pass over some of them.

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

Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John:

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

And it came to pass that as Peter was going through all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda.

And Peter said unto him, Eneas, Jesus the Messiah, healeth thee. Arise, and make thy bed. And he rose up immediately.

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.

Then Peter arose, and went with them: and when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood round him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made when she was with them.

But Peter, putting them all out, kneeled down and prayed: and then turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

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

On the morrow, while they were on their journey, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

And there was a voice which said to him, Rise, Peter, kill and eat.

But Peter said, By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing polluted or unclean.

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 called, and asked, if Simon sirnamed Peter lodged there.

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?

Then he invited them in, and entertained them that night. And on the morrow Peter set out with them; and some of the brethren from Joppa went with him.

And as Peter came in, Cornelius met him, and falling down at his feet did him reverence.

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

Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, who is sirnamed Peter, (he lodgeth in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side,) who when he cometh, will talk with thee.

Then Peter opened his mouth and 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 them that heard the word.

And those of the circumcision that were believers, who came with Peter, were astonished, that the gift of the holy Spirit was conferred upon the Gentiles also:

Then said Peter, Can any one forbid water, that these persons should not be baptized, who have received the holy Spirit, as well as we?

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, those that were of the circumcision contended with him, saying,

But Peter began and laid the matter in order before them,

And I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter, kill and eat.

whose sirname is Peter, who will tell thee things, by which thou shalt be saved and all thy family.

And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also, (in the days of unleavened bread:)

Peter was therefore kept in custody: but incessant prayer was made to God for him by the church.

And when Herod was about to bring him forth, that very night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the guards at the door watched the prison.

And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the room; and smiting Peter on the side, he waked him, and said, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

And Peter being come to himself said, Now I know truly, that the Lord hath sent his angel and hath delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

And when Peter knocked at the door of the porch, a servant named Rhoda came to ask who was there.

And knowing Peter's voice, through excess of joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them, that Peter was standing at the door.

But Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door, they saw him, and were astonished.

Now as soon as it was day, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.

And after much debate, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know that a good while ago, God, who was among us, chose that the Gentiles should hear by my mouth the word of the gospel, and believe.

Now as soon as we had parted from them, and set sail, we came in a strait course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
