And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance, as did your rulers also; and those things which God proclaimed through the mouth of all the prophets that his Christ should suffer, he hath thus fulfilled.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; and upon my servants and my handmaidens I will pour out of my Spirit on those days, and they shall prophesy. And I will give wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire, and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great day of the Lord shall come. And it shall come to pass, that every one who may call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Israelitish men, hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man having been demonstrated unto you from God by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did through Him in your midst, as yourselves know; Him by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, having been delivered, you having nailed up, slew through the hand of lawless men; whom God raised up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was impossible that he should be held by it. For David says in reference to him, I foresaw my Lord always before me, because he is on my right hand, in order that I may not be moved. Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue was glad, and my flesh shall indeed still rest in hope, because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with gladness with thy countenance. Men, brethren, it is lawful to speak to you with boldness concerning the patriarch David, because he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet and knowing that God swore with an oath, that from the fruit of his loins One should sit upon the throne; foreseeing he spoke concerning the resurrection of Christ, that He was not left in Hades, neither did His flesh see corruption. This Jesus God raised up, whose witnesses we are. Therefore on the right hand of God exalted, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, has poured out this which you both see and hear. For David hath not ascended into the heavens, but he says, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thy enemies the footstool of thy feet. Then let all the house of Israel assuredly know that God hath made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. And hearing, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, Men, brethren, what must we do? And Peter said to them, Repent, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all who are afar off, so many as the Lord our God may call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying, Be saved from this wicked generation.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; and upon my servants and my handmaidens I will pour out of my Spirit on those days, and they shall prophesy. And I will give wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire, and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great day of the Lord shall come.

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with gladness with thy countenance. Men, brethren, it is lawful to speak to you with boldness concerning the patriarch David, because he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet and knowing that God swore with an oath, that from the fruit of his loins One should sit upon the throne; foreseeing he spoke concerning the resurrection of Christ, that He was not left in Hades, neither did His flesh see corruption. This Jesus God raised up, whose witnesses we are. Therefore on the right hand of God exalted, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, has poured out this which you both see and hear. For David hath not ascended into the heavens, but he says, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thy enemies the footstool of thy feet. Then let all the house of Israel assuredly know that God hath made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. And hearing, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, Men, brethren, what must we do? And Peter said to them, Repent, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all who are afar off, so many as the Lord our God may call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying, Be saved from this wicked generation.
Temple » Herod the great's temple » Peter heals the lame man at the gate of
And Peter and John went up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth. And a certain man, being lame from his mother's womb was habitually carried, whom they placed daily at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those entering into the temple; who seeing Peter and John about to come into the temple, asked to receive alms. read more.
And Peter along with John, fixing his attention on him, said, Look unto us. And he gave attention to them, expecting to receive something from them. Peter said, Silver and gold do not belong to me; but I give thee that which I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk about. And taking him by the right hand he raised him up; and immediately the bottoms of his feet and his ankle-bones were strengthened. And leaping out, he stood, and continued to walk around, and came into the temple with them, walking around and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking round and praising God. And they recognized him, that he was the one sitting for alms at Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with astonishment and delight at that which had happened to him. And he holding on to Peter and John; all the people ran together to them in the porch called Solomon's, exceedingly astonished. And Peter seeing them, responded to the people; Israelitish men, why are you astonished at this, or why do you look upon us as having by our own power or holiness, made this man to walk about? The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Child, Jesus, who you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate having decided to release Him. And you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and ask that a man who was a murderer should be delivered unto you, and you slew the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, whose witnesses we are. And through the faith of his name, his name hath made sound this one who you see and know, and through him faith has given unto him this soundness, in the presence of you all.

Witness » Who is a witness of the lord
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of the life; and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto us; that which we have seen and heard we also proclaim to you, in order that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
But Peter and the apostles responding said, It behooves us to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you have slain, hanging him on the wood; Him hath God exalted at His own right hand, a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance and remission of sins to Israel. read more.
And we are witnesses of these words, and the Holy Ghost, whom God has given to those who obey him.
And we are witnesses of these words, and the Holy Ghost, whom God has given to those who obey him.
This word you know, which was throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; Jesus, the one from Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Ghost and power: who went about doing good, and healing all oppressed by the devil: because God is with Him. And we are witnesses in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they even slew, hanging him on the wood. read more.
God raised him on the third day, and gave him to be made manifest; not to all the people, but to the witnesses having been chosen of God, to us, who ate and drank along with him after He arose from the dead: and He commanded us to preach to the people, and to witness that He is the One ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead. And to Him give all the prophets witness, that every one believing on him receives the remission of sins through His name.

There was a man having been sent from God, whose name was John; The same came for a witness, that he might bear witness concerning the light, in order that all through him might believe. He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness concerning the light. read more.
That was the true light, which lighteth every man, coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But so many as received Him, to them gave He the right to become the children of God, to those believing on His name: who were born not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. The Word was made flesh, and tented among us (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten with the Father), full of grace and truth. John beareth witness concerning Him, and cried out saying; This is He of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me has been before me:

John beareth witness concerning Him, and cried out saying; This is He of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me has been before me:
in order that all may honor the Son, as they may honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father who sent Him. Truly, truly, I say unto you, that every one hearing my word, and believing on Him that sent me hath eternal life, and doth not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. Truly, truly, I say unto you, that the hour cometh and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and having heard will live. read more.
For as the Father hath life in Himself, so also He has given to His Son to have life also in Himself. And He hath given Him authority to execute the judgment, because He is the Son of man. Do not be astonished at this: because the hour cometh, in which all who are in their graves will hear His voice, and come forth; those having done good, unto the resurrection of life; and those having done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. I am not able to do anything of myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One having sent me. If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true. There is another who testifieth concerning me; and you know that the testimony which He testifies concerning me is true. You sent to John, and he witnessed to the truth: but I do not receive the witness with man: but I speak these things that you may be saved. He was a bright and shining light: and you were willing to rejoice for an hour in that light. But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works that the Father hath given me that I may perfect them, these works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father having sent me, He hath testified concerning me: never have you heard His voice, neither have you seen His face: and you have not His word abiding in you: because you do not believe Him whom He has sent. Search the Scriptures, because in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify concerning me; and you do not wish to come unto me, in order that you may have life. I do not receive glory with men; but I know you that you have not the love of God in you. I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not receive me: if another may come in his own name, you will receive him. How are you able to believe, receiving glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is with God only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one accusing you, in whom you have hoped. For if you were believing Moses, you were believing me; for he wrote concerning me. For if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
For as the Father hath life in Himself, so also He has given to His Son to have life also in Himself. And He hath given Him authority to execute the judgment, because He is the Son of man. Do not be astonished at this: because the hour cometh, in which all who are in their graves will hear His voice, and come forth; those having done good, unto the resurrection of life; and those having done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

Therefore indeed having assembled, they asked Him saying, Lord, do you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? He said to them; It is not your province, to know the times or seasons, which the Father placed in His own authority. But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost having come upon you, and shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and all Judea, and in Samaria, and into the extremity of the earth. read more.
And having spoken these words, they looking, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him from their eyes. And while they were gazing up into the heaven, He going, and behold, two men stood by them in white garments, who also said, Ye Galilean men, why stand you looking up into the heaven? this same Jesus, the One having been received up into the heaven, will so come in the manner in which you saw Him going up into the heaven.

And he holding on to Peter and John; all the people ran together to them in the porch called Solomon's, exceedingly astonished. And Peter seeing them, responded to the people; Israelitish men, why are you astonished at this, or why do you look upon us as having by our own power or holiness, made this man to walk about?

Simon Peter, the servant of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those receiving like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the perfect knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

through which precious and greatest promises have been given unto us; that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world through lust. And in harmony with this same thing also, add to your faith heroism; and to heroism, knowledge; and to knowledge holiness; and to holiness patience; and patience, godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness divine love. For these things, being in you and overflowing, render you neither barren nor unfruitful in the perfect knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; for he unto whom these things are not present is blind, not seeing afar off, having received the forgetfulness of his purgation from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be the more diligent to make your calling and election sure: for doing these things you can never fall. For in this way an entrance will be administered unto you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Therefore I will be about to always remind you concerning these things, even though knowing them, and being established in the present truth. But I consider it righteous, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by remembrance; knowing that the laying aside of my tabernacle is swift, as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me. And I will endeavor to have each one of you after my departure make mention of these things. For not having followed cunningly devised fables, have we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having been eyewitnesses of his majesty.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show unto his servants the thing which it behooves speedily to come to pass; and he signified having sent by his angel to his servant John; who witnessed the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as to so many things as he saw.
