The same Jesus, hath God raised up, whereof, all we, are witnesses! By the right hand of God, therefore, having been exalted, also, the promise of the Holy Spirit, having received from the Father, He hath poured out this which, yourselves, do see and hear. For, David, hath not ascended into the heavens; but he saith, himself, - Said the Lord unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know: that, both Lord and Christ, hath God made him, even the same Jesus whom, ye, crucified! And, when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles - What are we to do, brethren? And Peter said unto them - Repent ye, and let each one of you be immersed, in the name of Jesus Christ, into the remission of your sins, - and ye shall receive the free-gift of the Holy Spirit; For, unto you, is the promise, and unto your children, - and unto all them who are afar off: as many soever as the Lord our God shall call unto him. And, with many different words, bare he frail witness, and went on exhorting them saying - Be saved from this perverse generation! They, therefore, who welcomed his word, were immersed; and there were added, on that day, about three thousand souls. And they went on to give constant attention - unto the teaching of the apostles, and unto the fellowship, unto the breaking of bread, and unto the prayers.

And, the word of the Lord, went on growing and multiplying.
