Since now that he by the righthand of God exalted is, and hath received of the father the promise of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth that which ye now see and hear.

"For the promise was made unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar, even as many as the Lord God shall call."

"When the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt

Of this man's seed hath God, according to his promise, brought forth to the people of Israel a saviour, one Jesus,

But follow not their minds: for there lie in wait for him of them, more than forty men, which have bound themselves with a vow, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him. And now are they ready, and look for thy promise."

unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, King Agrippa am I accused of the Jews.
