Therefore indeed having assembled, they asked Him saying, Lord, do you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?

And having spoken these words, they looking, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him from their eyes.

And while they were gazing up into the heaven, He going, and behold, two men stood by them in white garments, who also said,

Then they returned into Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, being a journey of a Sabbath day.

And when they came in, they went up into the upper room, where Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James, were abiding.

They were all persevering of one accord in prayer along with the women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.

And they nominated two, Joseph, called Barsabas who was called Justus, and Matthias.

And praying they said, Thou, O Lord, Heart-searcher of all, show up the one of these two, whom thou hast chosen

And they gave lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all of one accord in the same place.

And suddenly there was a sound from heaven as of a mighty, rushing wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

and this report prevailing, the multitude came together and was confounded, because they were hearing them speaking each one in his own dialect.

And they were all astounded and marveled, saying, Are not all these who are speaking, Galileans?

and upon my servants and my handmaidens I will pour out of my Spirit on those days, and they shall prophesy.

And hearing, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, Men, brethren, what must we do?

Then indeed having received his word they were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added unto them;

and they were persevering in the teaching of the apostles and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

and they sold their possessions and personalities, and divided the same unto all, as each one had need.

And daily of one accord in the temple they were persevering; and breaking bread from house to house, they received their food with gladness and purity of heart,

And a certain man, being lame from his mother's womb was habitually carried, whom they placed daily at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those entering into the temple;

And they recognized him, that he was the one sitting for alms at Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with astonishment and delight at that which had happened to him.

And they speaking to the people, the priests and captain of the temple and the Sadducees rose up against them,

being grieved because they were teaching the people and preaching the resurrection of the dead through Jesus;

and they laid hands on them and put them in prison till the morrow; for it was already evening.

And seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and apprehending that they are unlearned and ignorant men, they continued to be astonished, and recognized them, that they were with Jesus;

and seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

And having commanded them to depart out from the assembly, they conferred with one another,

And having called them, they command them, not at all to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.

And they having threatened them, in addition sent them away, finding nothing to the end that they can punish them, on account of the people, because all continued to glorify God over that which had taken place;

And having been released they came to their own people, and proclaimed so many things as the chief priests and elders said to them.

And having heard, they unanimously lifted up their voice to God, and said, O Lord, thou having created the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things which are in them,

For in truth they were assembled together in this city, against thy holy Child Jesus, whom thou didst anoint; both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,

And they praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

For no one among them was in need; for so many possessions of lands or houses as belonged to them, selling, they were bringing the prices of the things having been sold,

And Peter said to her; Why has it been agreed with you to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of those having buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.

And many miracles and wonders were wrought by the hands of the apostles among the people. And they were all of one accord in Solomon's porch.

so that they were carrying the sick into the streets, and placing them on couches and beds, in order that the shadow of Peter passing along might cast a shadow on some one of them.

And hearing, they came into the temple at daydawn, and were teaching. And the high priest coming and those with him, called together the sanhedrim and all the eldership of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to bring them.

And when the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, what this might be.

Then the captain along with the officers, having gone away, led them, not with violence, for they feared the people lest they might be stoned.

And leading them, they placed them in the council, and the chief priests asked them, saying,

And hearing, they were cut through and were minded to kill them.

And they obeyed him, and having called the apostles, beating them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and sent them away.

Then they departed from the face of the sanhedrim, rejoicing indeed, because they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of his name.

And all day in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not teaching and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

And the word was pleasing before all the multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas,

the Antiochian proselyte, whom they placed before the apostles, and having prayed, they placed their hands on them.

and they were not able to resist the wisdom and spirit with which he was speaking.

Then they bribed men, saying, that we have heard him speaking words blasphemous against Moses and God.

And they excited the people and the elders and scribes, and coming upon him, seized him, and led him into the council,

and they raised up false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against this holy place and the law;

And thus God spoke, that his seed shall sojourn in a strange land, and they will enslave it and oppress it four hundred years.

And the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, says God, and after these things they shall come out and serve me in this place.

And they were carried over into Shechem, and buried in a tomb which Abraham purchased from the sons of Emmor in Shechem with a sum of money.

He dealing fraudulently with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their infants, so that they should not live.

And he supposed that his brethren would understand that God through his hand is giving them salvation: but they did not recognize it.

And this Moses whom they denied, saying, Who hath established thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent a ruler and deliverer, with the hand of an angel having appeared unto him in a bush.

And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? and they slew those proclaiming concerning the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you became:

And hearing these words, they were cut through their hearts and gnashed their teeth at him.

And crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears, and unanimously rushed on him,

and casting him out from the city, they began to stone him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, called Saul:

Therefore indeed, being dispersed abroad, they went everywhere preaching the word:

And the multitudes were unanimously giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, while they were hearing and seeing the miracles which he was performing.

And they gave heed to him, because for a long time he had deceived them with his magic arts.

But when they believed Philip preaching the gospel concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

who, having come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.

For he had not yet fallen on any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

Then indeed, witnessing and speaking the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

And while they were journeying along the road, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch says, Behold water; what doth hinder me from being baptized?

And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both came down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more: for he went on his way rejoicing.

And Saul arose from the ground; and his eyes being open, he saw nothing: but leading him by the hand, they led him into Damascus;

but their plot was made known to Saul. And they were keeping the gates both day and night in order that they might kill him:

and he was speaking and arguing against the Hellenists, and they undertook to kill him.

And it came to pass during those days, she being sick, died: and washing her, they placed her in an upper chamber.

And Peter rising up came along with them; whom, on arrival, they led to the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing him the chitoons and himations, so many as Dorcas made, while with them.

And on the following day, they traveling, and drawing nigh the city, Peter went up on the house to pray about the sixth hour.

And he became hungry, and wished to eat: but they getting it ready, an ecstasy came on him,

and having called, they were asking, if Simon, called Peter, lodges there.

And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, and being of good report by all the nation of the Jews, was warned by a holy angel to send for thee to come into his house, and to hear words with thee.

And on the following day they came into Caesarea; and Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his own relatives and near friends.

And we are witnesses in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they even slew, hanging him on the wood.

for they were hearing them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.

And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to tarry some days.

And hearing these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then God has also given unto the Gentiles repentance unto life.

And the word was heard in the ears of the church in Jerusalem concerning them: and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

And it happened unto them, a whole year indeed they assembled in the church, and taught a great multitude: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

And they determined that each one of them should send to the ministry to the brethren dwelling in Judea, as each one of the disciples was prosperous;

and this they did, sending to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

And having come through the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and having come out, they came on to the first street; and the angel immediately departed from him.

And they said to her, You are gone mad; but she persisted that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.

But Peter remained knocking: and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished.

And Herod having sought him, and found him not, condemning the guards, commanded that they should be put to death; and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he tarried.

And he was very angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians: and they unanimously came to him, and having persuaded Blastus who was over the chamber of the king, they continued to seek peace; because their country is supported by the kings.

And they ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Now separate unto me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

Then they having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, sent them away.

Then they indeed, having been sent away by the Holy Ghost, came down to Seleucia; and thence sailed away to Cyprus.
