And being assembled together, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, Which, he said, ye heard from me.

And he said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father established in his own authority.

And having said these things, as they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their eyes.

who also said, Men, Galileans, why stand ye gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into the sky will so come, in that same way as ye saw him going into the sky.

And in those days, Peter, having stood up in the midst of the disciples (and there was a multitude of names at the same place, about a hundred twenty), he said

And having prayed, they said, Thou, Lord, knowing the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou have chosen

But others, mocking said, They are filled of wine.

For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand

Now having heard this, they were pierced in the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, Men, brothers, what will we do?

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

And Peter, having gazed intently at him, with John, said, Look at us.

But Peter said, No silver and gold exists to me, but what I have, this I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk.

For Moses indeed said to the fathers, Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you, from your brothers, like me. Ye shall hear him in all things, as many as he might speak to you.

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

But Peter and John having replied to them, they said, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than God, judge ye.

And after being released, they went to their own men, and reported as many things as the chief priests and the elders said to them.

And those who heard lifted up a voice to God with one accord, and said, Thou Master, the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all things in them.

He who said through the mouth of thy boy David, Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?

And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. And not even one man said that anything of the things that was possessed by him was his own, but all things were common to them.

But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back from the price of the land?

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

But Peter said to her, How is it that it was agreed by you to challenge the Spirit of Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.

But an agent of Lord opened the prison doors by night, and after leading them out, he said,

And Peter and the apostles having answered, they said, We must obey God rather than men.

And he said to them, Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves what ye are going to do against these men.

And the twelve, having summoned the multitude of the disciples, they said, It is not right for us, having left the word of God behind, to serve tables.

Then they instigated men who said, We have heard him speaking blasphemous sayings against Moses and God.

And they put forward FALSE witnesses who said, This man does not cease speaking blasphemous sayings against the holy place, and the law.

And the high priest said, Are these things so?

And he said, Men, brothers, and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran.

And he said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and from thy kinfolk, and come into a land that I will show thee.

And I will judge the nation to whomever they will be in bondage, God said, and after these things they will come forth and serve me in this place.

And on the next day he was seen by them as they fought, and he was reconciling them for peace, having said, Men, ye are brothers. Why is it that ye wrong each other?

But the man doing wrong to his neighbor thrust him away, having said, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge over us?

And the Lord said to him, Put off the shoes from thy feet, for the place on which thou stand is holy ground.

This Moses whom they refused, having said, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge? This man God sent, a ruler and a liberator by the hand of the heavenly agent who appeared to him in the bush.

This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you, from your brothers, like me.

And he said, Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.

But Peter said to him, Thy silver with thee, may it be for destruction, because thou thought to obtain the gift of God by money.

And having answered, Simon said, Beg ye to the Lord for me, so that none of which things ye have spoken may come upon me.

And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and be joined to this chariot.

And after running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. And he said, Do thou also really understand the things that thou read?

And he said, For how can I unless some man may guide me? And he encouraged Philip, after coming up, to sit with him.

And having answered, the eunuch said to Philip, I ask thee, about whom does the prophet say this, about himself, or about some other man?

And he said, Who are thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecute.

Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold me, Lord.

And the Lord said to him, After rising, go into the street called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, a man named Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.

But the Lord said to him, Go, because this man is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before Gentiles and kings, and sons of Israel.

And Ananias departed and entered into the house. And having laid hands on him he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, he who appeared to thee on the road on which thou came, has sent me so that thou may receive sight, and be filled of Hol

And all those who heard were amazed, and said, Is this not the man who destroyed those in Jerusalem who call on this name? And he has come here for this, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests.

And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals thee. Arise and make thy bed. And straightaway he arose.

But Peter, having sent them all out, having knelt down, he prayed. And having turned to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And the woman opened her eyes. And when she saw Peter, she sat up.

And after gazing at him, and having become afraid, he said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy charities have come up for a memorial before God.

But Peter said, Not so, Lord, because I have never eaten anything profane or unclean.

And while Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men seek thee.

And having gone down to the men, Peter said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek. What is the cause for which ye are here?

And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and being well testified by the whole nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy agent to summon thee to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.

And he said to them, Ye understand how it is unlawful for a Jewish man to fraternize or to visit with a foreign man, and yet God demonstrated to me not to call one man profane or unclean.

And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour, and the ninth hour praying in my house. And behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel.

And having opened his mouth, Peter said, In truth, I am overwhelmed that God is not partial,

But I said, Not so, Lord, because nothing profane or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.

And he informed us how he saw the heavenly agent in his house, who stood and said to him, Send forth men to Joppa, and summon Simon, the man surnamed Peter,

And I remembered the saying of Lord, how he said, John indeed immersed in water, but ye will be immersed in Holy Spirit.

And the agent said to him, Gird thyself, and tie on thy sandals. And he did so. And he says to him, Throw on thy garment, and follow me.

And when Peter came to himself, he said, Now I know truly, that Lord dispatched his agent and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

And they said to her, Thou are mad. But she insisted to have it so. But they said, It is his heavenly agent.

But after motioning to them with the hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison. And he said, Report these things to James, and to the brothers. And having departed, he went to a different pl

And while they were serving the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate to me now Barnabas and Saul for the work that I have called them.

said, O man full of all deceit and all recklessness, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, will thou not cease distorting the straight ways of Lord?

And Paul having stood up, and having motioned with the hand, he said, Men, Israelites, and those who fear God, listen.

And having removed him, he raised up David for a king to them, also about whom he said, when he testified, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my heart, who will do all my purposes.

And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not, but behold, he comes after me of whom I am not worthy to loose the shoes of his feet.

But having spoken boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you, but since ye thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

said with a great voice, Stand correctly on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.

And when much debate occurred, Peter having risen up, he said to them, Men, brothers, ye know that from past days among us, God chose the Gentiles to hear through my mouth the word of the good-news, and to believe.

And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, After returning, surely we could help our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, how they fare.

And she did this on many days. But Paul, after being exasperated, and having turned, he said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.

And after bringing them to the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, disturb our city,

And after bringing them outside, he said, Sirs, what must I do so that I may be saved?

And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou will be saved, thou and thy household.

But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly, uncondemned men, being Romans, they cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out privately? Certainly not, but after coming, they shall lead us out.

And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, Whatever does this babbler want to say? But others, He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities, because he brought the good-news--Jesus and t

And having stood in the middle of the Areopagus, Paul said, Athenian men, I perceive you as deity-fearing in all things.

For in him we live, and move, and exist, as also some of the performers from you have said, For of him we are also offspring.

But when they heard the resurrection of the dead, of course they mocked, but others said, We will hear thee again about this.

But when they opposed and slandered him, having shaken out his clothes, he said to them, Your blood is upon your heads. I am clean. From henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

But when Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If therefore indeed it were some crime or evil reckless deed, O ye Jews, I would have tolerated you according to the matter.

but separated from them, having said, I must definitely keep the coming feast at Jerusalem, but I will return again to you, God willing. And he launched from Ephesus.

he said to them, Did ye receive Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, But we have not even heard if there is a Holy Spirit.

And he said to them, Into what then were ye immersed? And they said, Into John's immersion.

And Paul said, John indeed immersed an immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus, the Christ.

And having answered, the evil spirit said, I know Jesus and I recognize Paul, but who are ye?

Now when these things were fulfilled, Paul decided in the spirit, after passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, having said, After becoming there, I must also see Rome.

to whom also (having assembled the workmen about such things) he said, Men, ye know that our prosperity is from this work.

And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.

But Paul having come down, he fell on him, and having embraced him he said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

And when they came to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day in which I stepped in Asia, how I became with you all the time,

I gave you a glimpse of all things, that so laboring ye ought to aid the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

And having found disciples (we remained there seven days) who said to Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

And having come to us, and having taken Paul's belt, having bound both his feet and hands, he said, The Holy Spirit says these things: Thus the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him into the h
