And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

But he that did his neighbor wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

And when forty years had expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina, an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.

When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight; and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came to him,

Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.

This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, A prophet will the Lord your God raise up to you of your brethren, like me; him will ye hear.

This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the living oracles to give to us:

Whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

Saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

But Solomon built him a house.

When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.

And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

And to him they had regard, because that for a long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up, and sit with him.

Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus.

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

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

And desired from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he should find any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined around him a light from heaven:

And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth,

And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.

For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord (even Jesus that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

But all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?

And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.

But their laying in wait, was known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.

And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.

And as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.

Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

He saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.

And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God.

And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;

And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

And the voice spoke to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee.

Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye have come?

Then he called them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.

But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up: I myself also am a man.

And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that had come together.

But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

That God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.

Him God raised the third day, and showed him openly;

Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

To him give all the prophets testimony, that through his name whoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they requested him to tarry certain days.

And when Peter had come to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.

Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing by the church to God for him.

And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

And behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison; and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals; and so he did. And he saith to him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

And he went out, and followed him, and knew not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

When they were past the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.

But he beckoning to them with the hand to hold their peace, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, show these things to James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.

And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and there abode.

And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon. But they came with one accord to him, and having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace, because their country was nourished by the king's country.

And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten by worms, and died.

Then Saul (who also is called Paul) filled with the Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him,

And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

And when he had removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king: to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall fulfill all my will.

For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the words of the prophets which are read every sabbath, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet they desired Pilate that he should be put to death.

And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.

But God raised him from the dead:

And he was seen many days by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

And as concerning that he raised him from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch, and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

But as the disciples stood around him, he rose, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.

But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those quarters: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

And they that conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.

Now, while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

Therefore he disputed in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
