And ye killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead; of whom we are witnesses. And by faith of his name, this, whom ye see and know, his name made firm, and faith which by him, gave him this completeness before you all. And now, brethren, I know that ye did in ignorance, as also your rulers. But God, announced these things beforehand by the mouth of all his prophets, for Christ to suffer, he so completed. Therefore repent, and return, for your sins to be wiped out, so that times of refreshment might come from the face of the Lord; And he send Jesus Christ, before proclaimed to you, Whom heaven must truly receive till time of restoration of all which God spake by the mouth of all his holy prophets from forever. For Moses truly said to the fathers, That a prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you from your brethren, like me; him shall ye hear according to all whatever he speak to you. And it shall be, whoever hears not that prophet, shall be destroyed from the people. And all the prophets from Samuel, and those in order, as many as spake, also announced beforehand these days. Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God set with our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all families of earth be praised. To you first God, having raised up his child Jesus, sent him praising you, in turning away each from your wickedness.

Go ye, and having stood, speak in the temple all the words of this life. And having heard, they came in by morning to the temple, and taught. But the chief priest having approached, and they with him, called the council together, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison for them to be brought. And the attendants having come near, found them not in the prison, and having returned, they announced, Saying, That we truly found the prison shut with all security, and the watch standing without before the doors: and having opened, we found none within. And when the priest and captain of the temple and chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt of them, what this might be. And a certain one having come near, announced to them, saying, That, behold, the men which ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. Then the commander having gone with attendants, brought them, not with force: for they feared the people, lest they might be stoned.

After this Judas the Galilean arose in the days of enrolling, and misled enough people after him: and he perished; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered.

And by him they were persuaded: and having called the sent, having stripped, they enjoined not to speak in the name of Jesus, and loosed them.

And having known Peter's voice, from joy she opened not the gate, and running, announced Peter to stand before the gate. And they said to her, Thou art mad. And she was strengthened to have it so. And they said, It is his messenger. And Peter continued knocking: and having opened, they saw him, and were moved. And having shaken with the hand at them to be silent, he related to them how the Lord brought him out of prison. And he said, Announce these things to James, and the brethren. And having come out, he went to another place. And it being day, not a little trouble was among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. And Herod having sought him, and not found, having examined the watch, commanded them to be removed. And having come down from Judea to Cesarea, he tarried.
And having seized, he put him in prison, having delivered to four quaternions of soldiers to watch him; wishing after the pascha to bring him to the people. Truly therefore was Peter kept in prison: and prayer was made continually by the church to God for him. And when Herod was about to bring him before, in that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the watch before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the messenger of the Lord stood before, and a light shone in the dwelling: and having struck Peter's side, he raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from the hands. And the messenger said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy small sandals. And he did so. And he said to him, Put round thy garment, and follow me. And having come out, he followed him; and knew not that it is true that being done by the messenger; and seemed to see a vision. And having passed by the first and second watch, they came to the iron gate leading to the city; which of its free will was opened to them: and having come out, they advanced one street; and quickly the messenger departed from him. And Peter being as himself, said, Now know I truly that the Lord sent his messenger, and took me out of the hands of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews. And being conscious, he came to the house of Mary mother of John, surnamed Mark; where were sufficient assembled, and praying. And Peter having knocked at the door of the gate, a young girl came near to listen, by name Rhoda. And having known Peter's voice, from joy she opened not the gate, and running, announced Peter to stand before the gate. And they said to her, Thou art mad. And she was strengthened to have it so. And they said, It is his messenger. And Peter continued knocking: and having opened, they saw him, and were moved.

Go ye, and having stood, speak in the temple all the words of this life. And having heard, they came in by morning to the temple, and taught. But the chief priest having approached, and they with him, called the council together, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison for them to be brought. And the attendants having come near, found them not in the prison, and having returned, they announced, Saying, That we truly found the prison shut with all security, and the watch standing without before the doors: and having opened, we found none within. And when the priest and captain of the temple and chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt of them, what this might be. And a certain one having come near, announced to them, saying, That, behold, the men which ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. Then the commander having gone with attendants, brought them, not with force: for they feared the people, lest they might be stoned. And having brought them, they set in the council: and the chief priest asked them, Saying, Did we not announce to you by order, not to teach by this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye desire to bring upon us this man's blood. And Peter having answered, and the sent, said, We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew with your own hands, having hung him upon a tree. This, God exalted, a Chief and Saviour, with his right hand to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. And we are his witnesses of these words; and the Holy Spirit, whom God gave to them obeying him. And having heard, they gnashed the teeth with rage, and consulted to kill them. And a certain Pharisee having risen up in the council, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honoured by all the people, urged to put the sent without a little while. And he said to them, Men, Israelites, attend to yourselves on account of these men, what ye are about to do. For before these days Theudas arose, saying himself to be somebody: which a number of men followed, about four hundred, who was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were destroyed, and were for nothing. After this Judas the Galilean arose in the days of enrolling, and misled enough people after him: and he perished; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered. And now say I to you, Depart from these men, and leave them; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it shall be destroyed: And if it is of God, ye cannot destroy it; lest ye also be found contenders against God. And by him they were persuaded: and having called the sent, having stripped, they enjoined not to speak in the name of Jesus, and loosed them.
