This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

"For the promise was made unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar, even as many as the Lord God shall call."

Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius, and said, "Behold, I am he, whom ye seek, what is the cause wherefore ye are come?"

and said, 'Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms deeds are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done for to come. Now are we all here, present before God to hear all things that are commanded unto thee of God."

And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lift up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, "Gods are come down to us in the likeness of men."

and saying, "Sirs, why do ye this? We are mortal men like unto you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is,

The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, "These men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation."

and brought them to the officers, saying, "These men trouble our city, which are Jews

and preach ordinances which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, seeing we are Romans."

But Paul cried with a loud voice saying, "Do thyself no harm, for we are all here."

Then said Paul unto them, "They have beaten us, openly un-condemned, for all that we are Romans, and have cast us into prison: and now would they send us away privily? Nay not so, but let them come themselves and fetch us out."

Wherefore if Demetrius and the craftsmen which are with him, have any saying to any man: the law is open, and there are rulers. Let them accuse one another.

For we are in jeopardy to be accused of this day's business: forasmuch as there is no cause whereby we may give a reckoning of this concourse of people."

And now dear brethren I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build further, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, "Thou seest brother, how many thousand Jews there are which believe, and they are all zealous over the law.

And they are informed of thee that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the gentiles to forsake Moses, and sayest that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to live after the customs.

And he said, "The Jews are determined to desire thee that thou wouldest bring forth Paul tomorrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.

But follow not their minds: for there lie in wait for him of them, more than forty men, which have bound themselves with a vow, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him. And now are they ready, and look for thy promise."
