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.

which, if they were to be written particularly, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that were written.

And when they were come together, they asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?

And while they were stedfastly looking up to heaven, as he went up,

And when they were come in, they went up into the upper-room, where both Peter and James, and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Jude the brother of James tarried.

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 they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

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

And they were amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What can this mean?

And hearing this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

Then they, gladly receiving his word, were baptized; and there were added to them that day about three thousand souls.

And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were wrought by the apostles.

And all that believed were together, and had all things common,

Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added daily to the church those who were saved.

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 taking him by the right-hand, he lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle-bones were strengthened,

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.

And as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple,

And on the morrow were gathered together at Jerusalem their rulers,

and elders, and scribes, And Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high-priest.

And seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and understanding that they were illiterate and uneducated men, they marvelled, and took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

The kings of the earth set themselves in array, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ.

For of a truth, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed,

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.

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 many signs and wonders were wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles: (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's portico:

And multitudes both of men and women believing were the more added to the Lord:)

And multitudes also of the cities round about, came together to Jerusalem, bringing persons sick and troubled by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.

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

were filled with zeal, And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them into the common prison.

And hearing this, they went into the temple early in the morning and taught. But the high priest being come, and they that were with him, called together the council, even the whole senate of the children of Israel,

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.

After this man rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the inrolment, and drew away much people after him; he also perished, and all who had hearkened to him were dispersed.

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

Now in these days, the disciples multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

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 they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.

And all that were sitting in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face, as the face of an angel.

And were carried over to Shechem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money, of Hamor, the father of Shechem.

And the next day, he shewed himself to them, as they were quarrelling, and would have persuaded them to peace, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren: why do ye wrong one another?

And hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and gnashed their teeth upon him.

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.

Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went every where, preaching the word.

For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many that had them, and many sick of the palsy and lame were healed.

But when they believed Philip, preaching the things of the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

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

And the apostles who were at Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John:

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

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

And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together 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.

Wherein were all four-footed creatures of the earth, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

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

While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all that were hearing the word.

And the believers of the circumcision, as many as came with Peter, were amazed, that the gift of the Holy Ghost was poured out on the Gentiles also.

Now the apostles and brethren who were in Judea heard, that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

and being in a trance, I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down from heaven by the four corners, and it came even to me:

This was done thrice, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

When they heard these things, they were quiet, and glorified God, saying, Then God hath given to the Gentiles also repentance unto life.

And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who coming into Antioch, spake to the Greeks, preaching the Lord Jesus.

And a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught a considerable multitude: and the disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.

(Then were the days of unleavened bread.) Whom having apprehended, he put in prison, delivering him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him forth to the people after the passover.

And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.

And having considered, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together praying.

But Peter continued knocking. And opening the door, they saw him and were astonished.

Now there were in the church that was at Antioch, certain prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

And as they were ministring to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.

And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.

And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought them, that these words might be spoken to them on the sabbath between.

But the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and spake against the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

And the Gentiles hearing it were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life, believed.

And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.

And being come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and the apostles, and elders; and they declared all things which God had done with them.

Now therefore why endeavour ye to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

And after they had tarried a space, they were dismissed with peace by the brethren to the apostles.

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

And as they went through the cities, they gave them the decrees, which were determined by the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem to keep.

And the churches were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

And we abode in that city certain days. And on the sabbath we went out of the city, by the river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and sitting down, we spake to the women who were come together.

And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to assent to the things which were spoken by Paul.

And as we were going to prayer, a certain damsel, possest by a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by prophesying.

And suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

And the jailor awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, drew his sword, and was going to kill himself, supposing the prisoners were fled.

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

And the serjeants reported these words to the pretors; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.

And some of them believed, and were joined to Paul and Silas, and a great number of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the principal women.

These were more ingenuous than those of Thessalonica, receiving the word with all readiness of mind, and daily searching the scriptures, whether those things were so?

Then the brethren sent away Paul immediately, to go as it were to the sea; but Silas and Timothy continued there.

And as he was of the same trade, he abode with them and wrought, for they were tent-makers by trade.

And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and testified to the Jews, that Jesus was the Christ.

And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.

And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were an act of injustice or wicked licentiousness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you.

He said to them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.

And hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

And they were in all about twelve men. And going into the synagogue,
