Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple. That disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

But Peter stood at the door without: therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spake to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

He saith, I am not. And the servants and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold) stood and warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them and warmed himself.

Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I was continually teaching in the synagogue and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort, and in secret have I said nothing.

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not.

Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's palace, and it was early: and they went not into the palace themselves, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

So the saying of Jesus was fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

Pilate said to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest. I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth.

Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

he was the more afraid, And returned into the palace and saith to Jesus, Whence art thou?

(It was then the preparation of the passover, and about the third hour:) And saith to the Jews, Behold your king.

And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross: and the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Many of the Jews read this inscription; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his vesture: now the vesture was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar. And filling a sponge with vinegar, and putting it on a stalk of hyssop, they put it to his mouth.

Now because it was the preparation, lest the bodies should remain upon the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a great day) the Jews besought Pilate, that their legs might be broken, and they might be taken away.

Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him.

But coming to Jesus, when they saw he was dead already, they brake not his legs.

Now in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which no man had ever been laid.

There therefore they laid Jesus, because of the preparation -day of the Jews; for the sepulchre was nigh.

The first day of the week, cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, to the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin that was about his head,

And having said this, she turned herself back, and seeth Jesus standing, but knew not that it was Jesus.

But Thomas called Didymus, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

When the morning was come, Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved saith to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter hearing that it was the Lord, girt on his upper coat (for he was stript) and threw himself into the sea.

Simon Peter went on board, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three; and tho' there were so many, the net was not broken.

Jesus saith to them, Come ye and dine. And none of the disciples presumed to ask him, Who art thou? Knowing that it was the Lord.

This was the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.

He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my sheep. He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.

Verily, verily I say unto thee, when thou wast young, thou didst gird thyself, and walk whither thou wouldest: but when thou art old, thou shalt stretch out thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

Until the day he was taken up, after having thro' the Holy Ghost given commandment to the apostles, whom he had chosen:

And having spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their sight.

And in these days, Peter standing up in the midst of the disciples, (the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty) said,

Men, brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spake before by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.

For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

And it was known to all that dwell at Jerusalem, so that that field is called, in their own tongue, Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.

Wherefore of these men who have been with us all the time that the Lord Jesus was going in and out over us,

Beginning from the baptism of John, till the day that he was taken up from us, one must be ordained, to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

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

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

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

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

And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together and were confounded, because every man heard them speaking in his own language.

But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel,

Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death, as it was not possible that he should be held under it.

He foreseeing this, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades, neither did his flesh see corruption.

And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that were entering into the temple, Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple,

And they knew him, that this was he who had sat for alms at the beautiful gate of the temple, and were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had befallen him.

The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his son Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and renounced him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to release him.

who was before appointed, Whom heaven must receive, till the times of the restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets.

And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold till the next day: for it was now evening.

But many of them who had heard the word, believed. And the number of the men was about five thousand.

This is the stone which was set at nought by you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

And having threatened them again, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for they all glorified God for that which was done.

For the man on whom this miracle of healing had been wrought, was above forty years old.

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

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart, and of one soul: and not so much as one said that ought of the things which he had, was his own, but they had all things common.

And the apostles gave forth their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great power, and great grace was upon them all.

For neither was there any one among them that lacked: for whosoever were possessors of houses or lands sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

And laid them down at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was made to every one, according as any had need.

And to keep back part of the price of the land? While it remained, did it not remain thine? And when it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

But the high priest arising, and all that were with him, which was the sect of the Saducees,

For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody, to whom was joined a number of men, about four hundred, who was slain, and all who hearkened to him were scattered and came to nothing.

And the word of God grew, and the number of disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem greatly: and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

And coming out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran. And from thence, after his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.

And the patriachs moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; but God was with him,

But Jacob hearing there was corn in Egypt, sent our fathers first.

And the second time, Joseph was made known to his brethren, and Joseph's kindred was discovered to Pharoah.

In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding beautiful, who was nursed three months in his father's house.

And when he was exposed, Pharoah's daughter took him up, and brought him up for her own son.

And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

But when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.

And seeing one wronged, he defended and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian.

And Moses fled at that saying, and was a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.

This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the Angel who spake to him in mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received the living oracles to give to us:

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

And kneeling down, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And having said this, he fell asleep: And Saul was consenting to his death.

And at that time there was a great persecution against the church, which was in Jerusalem. And they were all scattered abroad through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

And there was great joy in that city.

But a certain man, named Simon, had been before in the city, using magic, and astonishing the Samaritans, saying, that he was some great one.

And Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he continued with Philip, and was astonished, beholding the signs and mighty miracles which were done.

For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

And Simon seeing that thro' laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Ghost was given,

And he arose and went. And lo an Ethiopian, an eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure,

and had come to Jerusalem to worship, Was returning, and sitting in his chariot, read the prophet Isaiah.

And he desired Philip to come up, and sit with him. The portion of scripture which he was reading, was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.

In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth.

But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Cesarea.

And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias.

And immediately as it were scales fell from his eyes, and he recovered his sight, and arose and was baptized.

And having received food, he was strengthened.

And he was certain days with the disciples in Damascus: And straightway he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

But their lying in wait was known by Saul: and they guarded the gates day and night to kill him.

And coming to Jerusalem, he endeavoured to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

And he was with them, coming in and going out at Jerusalem.

Then the church through all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria had peace: and being built up, and walking in the fear of God, and the comfort of the Holy Ghost, was multiplied.

Now there was at Joppa, a certain disciple, named Tabitha, which is by interpretation Dorcas; this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
