And, being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which said He, "Ye heard from Me;

Being, therefore, exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He was pouring forth this which ye both see and hear.

for the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those afar off??s many as the Lord our God shall call to Him."

From the seed of this one, God, according to promise, brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus;

And we declare to you good tidings of the promise made to the fathers,

Be not, therefore, persuaded by them; for more than forty men of them are lying in wait for him; who, indeed, bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor drink, till they should kill him; and now they are ready, expecting the promise from you."

And now, for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers, I have taken my stand to be judged;

unto which promise our twelve-tribed nation, earnestly serving day and night, is hoping to attain; concerning which hope, O King, I am being accused by Jews.
