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

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

Then fled Moses at that saying, and was a stranger in the land of Midian; Where he begat two sons.

This is he that was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. This man received the word of life to give unto us,

Saul had pleasure in his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the congregation which was at Jerusalem, and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Jewry and Samaria, except the apostles.

And there was great joy in that city.

And there was a certain man called Simon, which beforetime in the same city, used witchcraft and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he was a man that could do great things.

Then Simon himself believed also, and was baptised. And continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were showed.

For as yet he was come on none of them: But they were baptised only in the name of Christ Jesus.

When Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands on them, the holy ghost was given: he offered them money, saying,

And he arose and went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia which was a chamberlain and of great authority with Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, and had the rule of all her treasure, came to Jerusalem for to pray.

The tenor of the scripture which he read was this, "He was led as a sheep to be slain: And like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.

Because of his humbleness, he was not esteemed. Who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth."

but Philip was found at Azotus. And he walked throughout the country preaching in their cities, till he came to Caesarea.

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

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 immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales and he received his sight, and arose and was baptised.

And received meat and was comforted. Then was Saul a certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

And straightway he preached Christ in the Synagogues how that he was the son of God.

But Saul increased in strength; And confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus affirming that this was very Christ.

But their layings wait was known of Saul. And they watched at the gates day and night to kill him.

And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to couple himself with the disciples, and they were all afraid of him and believed not that he was a disciple.

There was at Joppa a certain woman, which was a disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: the same was full of good works and alms deeds, which she did.

And it chanced in those days that she was sick and died. When they had washed her and laid her in a chamber -

Because Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there - they sent unto him, desiring him that he would not be grieved to come unto them.

Peter arose and came with them: And when he was come, they brought him into the chamber, and all the widows stood round about him weeping and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.

And it was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.

There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a captain of the soldiers of Italy,

When he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it Lord?" He said unto him, "Thy prayers and thy alms are come up into remembrance before God.

When the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him,

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

This was done thrice; And the vessel was received up again into heaven.

And called out one and asked whether Simon, which was also called Peter, were lodged there.

And they said unto him, "Cornelius the captain, a just man and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the people of the Jews, was warned by a holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee."

therefore came I unto you without saying nay, as soon as I was sent for. I ask therefore: for what intent have ye sent for me?"

which preaching was published throughout all Jewry, and began in Galilee, after the baptism preached by John;

How God had anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy ghost, and with power; which Jesus went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devils, for God was with him.

And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the gentiles also was shed out the gift of the holy ghost.

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision reasoned with him, saying,

"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision; A certain vessel descend, as it had been a large linen cloth, let down from heaven by the four corners; And it came to me:

And this was done three times. And all were taken up again into heaven.

And behold immediately were there three men come unto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea unto me.

Forasmuch then as God gave them like gifts, as he did unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ: what was I that I should have withstood God?"

And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned unto the Lord.

Tidings of these things came unto the ears of the congregation, which was in Jerusalem; And they sent forth Barnabas that he should go unto Antioch.

Which when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad: and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would continually cleave unto the Lord.

For he was a good man, and full of the holy ghost and of faith. And much people was added unto the Lord.

Then was Peter kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing of the congregation unto God for him.

And behold, the angel of the Lord was there present, and a light shined in the lodge. And he smote Peter on the side, and stirred him up, saying, "Arise up quickly." And his chains fell off from his hands.

And he came out, and followed him: and wist not that it was truth which was done by the angel; but thought he had seen a vision.

And when Peter was come to himself, he said, "Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the waiting for of the people of the Jews."

And as he considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of one John, which was called Mark also, where many were gathered together in prayer.

And they said unto her, "Thou art mad." And she bare them down that it was even so. Then said they, "It is his angel."

As soon as it was day there was no little ado among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.

Herod was displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon. And they came all at once, and made intercession unto Blastus the king's chamberlain, and desired peace, because their country was nourished by the king's land.

And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the honour, and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

And Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their office, and took with them John, which was also called Mark.

When they had gone throughout the Isle unto the city of Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer: a false prophet, which was a Jew,

named Barjesus: which was with the ruler of the country, one Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. The same ruler called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

But the sorcerer Elymas - for so was his name by interpretation - withstood them, and sought to turn away the ruler from the faith.

and he was seen many days of them, which came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem which are his witnesses unto the people.

Howbeit David, after he had in his time fulfilled the will of God, he slept, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption.

When the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and virtuous converts followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.

Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, "It was meet that the word of God should first have been preached to you. But seeing ye put it from you, and think yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the gentiles.

And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

When there was a fault made, both of the gentiles and also of the Jews with their rulers, to put them to shame and to stone them:

And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the preacher.

And when there was risen dissension and disputing not a little unto Paul and Barnabas, against them: they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should ascend to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

Then arose there up certain of the sect of the Pharisees, which did believe: saying that it was needful to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

And when there was much disputing, Peter rose up and said unto them, "Ye men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago, God chose among us that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel and believe.

Then all the multitude was peaced and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul which told what signs and wonders God had showed among the gentiles by them.

And so sharp was the dissension between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: so that Barnabas took Mark and sailed unto Cyprus.

Then came he to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there named Timothy, a woman's son which was a Jewess and believed: but his father was a Greek.

The same, Paul would that he should go forth with him, and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters, for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

When she was baptised, and her household, she besought us saying, "If ye think that I believe on the Lord come into my house, and abide there." And she constrained us.

And when her master and mistress saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,

And suddenly, there was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the prison was shaken, and by and by all the doors opened, and every man's bonds were loosed.

And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds, and was baptised, with all that belonged unto him, straightway.

And when it was day, the officers sent the ministers saying, "Let those men go."

As they made their journey through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica where was a synagogue of the Jews.

And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them: and three Sabbath days declared out of the scripture unto them,

opening and alleging that Christ must needs have suffered and risen again from death. And that this Jesus was Christ, whom, said he, "I preach to you."

When the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came there and moved the people:

While Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was moved in him to see the city given to worshipping of images.

For as I passed by and beheld the manner how ye worship your gods, I found an altar wherein was written, Unto the unknown God. Whom ye then ignorantly worship, him show I unto you:

Howbeit, certain men clave unto Paul and believed, among the which was Dionysius a senator, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

And because he was of the same craft he abode with them and wrought: their craft was to make tents.

When Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the spirit, to testify to the Jews that Jesus was very Christ.

When Gallio was ruler of the country of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrong, or an evil deed to ye, reason would that I should hear you:

The same was informed in the way of the Lord, and he spake fervently in the spirit, and taught diligently the things of the Lord, and knew but the baptism of John only.

And when he was disposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him. After he was come thither he helped them much, which had believed through grace.

And mightily he overcame the Jews and that openly showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

It fortuned, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul passed through the upper coasts, and came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples

And the man in whom the evil spirit was, ran on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also, which dwelt at Ephesus, and fear came on them all. And they magnified the name of the Lord Jesus.

For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith which made silver shrines for Diana, was not a little beneficial unto the craftsmen:

And all the city was on a roar, and they rushed into the common hall with one assent, and caught Gaius, and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions.

Some cried one thing, and some another and the congregation was all out of quiet, and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.

When they knew that he was a Jew, there arose a shout almost for the space of two hours of all men crying, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians."
