For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.

So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?

But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.

Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.

And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:

And on my men-servants and my women-servants I will send my Spirit, and they will be prophets.

And wonders will be seen in heaven, and signs on the earth, blood and fire and smoke:

The sun will become dark and the moon will be turned to blood, before that great day of the Lord comes in glory:

And whoever makes his prayer to the Lord will have salvation.

And for this cause my heart was glad and my tongue full of joy, and my flesh will be resting in hope:

For you will not let my soul be in hell and you will not give up your Holy One to destruction.

You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face.

And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

And every soul who does not give attention to that prophet, will be cut off from among the people.

You are the sons of the prophets, and of the agreement which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, Through your seed a blessing will come on all the families of the earth.

But Peter said to her, Why have you made an agreement together to be false to the Spirit of the Lord? See, the feet of the young men who have put the body of your husband in the earth, are at the door, and they will take you out.

And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing:

But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God.

Then we will give all our time to prayer and the teaching of the word.

For he has said in our hearing that this Jesus of Nazareth will put this place to destruction and make changes in the rules which were handed down to us by Moses.

And said to him, Go out of your land, and away from your family, and come into the land to which I will be your guide.

And I will be the judge, said God, of that nation which made them servants: and after that, they will come out and give me worship in this place.

Will you put me to death as you did the Egyptian yesterday?

Truly, I have seen the sorrows of my people in Egypt, and their cries have come to my ears, and I have come down to make them free: and now, come, I will send you to Egypt.

This is the same Moses, who said to the children of Israel, God will give you a prophet from among your brothers, like me.

And you took up the tent of Moloch and the star of the god Rephan, images which you made to give worship to them: and I will take you away, farther than Babylon.

Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is a resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, says the Lord, or what is my place of rest?

But get up, and go into the town, and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.

For I will make clear to him what troubles he will have to undergo for me.

To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.

Will any man say that these may not have baptism who have been given the Holy Spirit as we have?

Who will say words to you through which you and all your family may get salvation.

And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.

O you, who are full of false tricks and evil ways, a son of the Evil One, hating all righteousness, will you for ever be turning people from the right ways of the Lord?

And now, see, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind and not able to see the sun for a time. And straight away a dark mist came down on him; and he went about looking for a guide.

And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of David.

Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction.

See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear to you.

Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles.

But we have faith that we will get salvation through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way as they.

After these things I will come back, and will put up the tent of David which has been broken down, building up again its broken parts and making it complete:

And so we have sent Judas and Silas, who will say the same things to you themselves, by word of mouth.

To keep from things offered to false gods, and from blood, and from things put to death in ways which are against the law, and from the evil desires of the body; if you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. May you be happy.

And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.

But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.

And they took him to Mars' Hill, saying, Will you make clear to us what is this new teaching of yours?

Because a day has been fixed in which all the world will be judged in righteousness by the man who has been marked out by him for this work; of which he has given a sign to all men by giving him back from the dead.

And when they put themselves against him, and said evil words, he said, shaking his clothing, Your blood be on your heads, I am clean: from now I will go to the Gentiles.

For I am with you, and no one will make an attack on you to do you damage: for I have a number of people in this town.

But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things.

And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus.

And there is danger, not only that our trade may be damaged in the opinion of men, but that the holy place of the great goddess Diana may be no longer honoured, and that she to whom all Asia and the world give worship, will be put down from her high position.

And now, as you see, I am going to Jerusalem, a prisoner in spirit, having no knowledge of what will come to me there:

And now I am conscious that you, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom, will not see my face again.

I am conscious that after I am gone, evil wolves will come in among you, doing damage to the flock;

And from among yourselves will come men who will give wrong teaching, turning away the disciples after them.

And he came to us, and took the band of Paul's clothing, and putting it round his feet and hands, said, The Holy Spirit says these words, So will the Jews do to the man who is the owner of this band, and they will give him up into the hands of the Gentiles.

What then is the position? They will certainly get news that you have come.

Go with these, and make yourself clean with them, and make the necessary payments for them, so that they may be free from their oath: and everyone will see that the statements made about you are not true, but that you put yourself under rule, and keep the law.

Of which the high priest will be a witness, and all the rulers, from whom I had letters to the brothers; and I went into Damascus, to take those who were there as prisoners to Jerusalem for punishment.

And I said, What have I to do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Get up, and go into Damascus; and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.

For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and of what has come to your ears.

And I saw him saying to me, Go out of Jerusalem straight away because they will not give hearing to your witness about me.

And he said to me, Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.

Then Paul said to him, God will give blows to you, you whitewashed wall: are you here to be my judge by law, and by your orders am I given blows against the law?

And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome.

So now, will you and the Sanhedrin make a request to the military authorities to have him sent down to you, as if you were desiring to go into the business in greater detail; and we, before ever he gets to you, will be waiting to put him to death.

I will give hearing to your cause, he said, when those who are against you have come. And he gave orders for him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.

And from whom you will be able, by questioning him yourself, to get knowledge of all the things which we say against him.

But this I will say openly to you, that I do give worship to the God of our fathers after that Way, which to them is not the true religion: but I have belief in all the things which are in the law and in the books of the prophets:

Hoping in God for that which they themselves are looking for, that there will be a coming back from the dead for upright men and wrongdoers.

But Felix, who had a more detailed knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, When Lysias, the chief captain, comes down, I will give attention to your business.

And while he was talking about righteousness and self-control and the judging which was to come, Felix had great fear and said, Go away for the present, and when the right time comes I will send for you.

But Festus, desiring to get the approval of the Jews, said to Paul, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and be judged before me there in connection with these things?

Then Festus, having had a discussion with the Jews, made answer, You have said, Let my cause come before Caesar; to Caesar you will go.

But get up on your feet: for I have come to you for this purpose, to make you a servant and a witness of the things in which you have seen me, and of those in which you will see me;

And I will keep you safe from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,

And Agrippa said to Paul, A little more and you will be making me a Christian.

Saying, Have no fear, Paul, for you will come before Caesar, and God has given to you all those who are sailing with you.

And so, O men, be of good heart, for I have faith in God that it will be as he said to me.

But we will be sent on to a certain island.

But Paul said to the captain and his men, If you do not keep these men in the ship, you will not be safe.

So I make request to you to take food; for this is for your salvation: not a hair from the head of any of you will come to destruction.

And when the people saw it hanging on his hand, they said to one another, Without doubt this man has put someone to death, and though he has got safely away from the sea, God will not let him go on living.

Go to this people and say, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:

Be certain, then, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will give hearing.
