And Peter, having seen, answered to the people, men, Israelites, why wonder ye at this? or why look ye intently at us, as by our own power or devotion having made him to walk? The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, God of our fathers, has honoured his child Jesus; whom ye have delivered up, and denied him before the face of Pilate, he having judged to loose.

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.

If we are this day examined of the kindness of the sick man, by whom he has been saved; Be it known to all you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarite, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in this he stands before you whole.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to utter. And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, circumspect men, from every nation of those under heaven. And there having been this voice, the multitude came together, and were disturbed, for each one heard them speaking in his own dialect. And all were affected in mind and wondered, saying to one another, Behold, are not these speaking Galileans And how hear we each in our own dialect, in which we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they dwelling in Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, And Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and parts of Lybia that near Cyrene, and Romans arriving as strangers, and Jews, and strangers, Cretes and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God. And all were affected in mind, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What may this mean to be? And others mocking. said, That they are filled with new wine. And Peter, having stood with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Men Jews, and all ye dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and hear ye my words: For not, as ye suppose, are these intoxicated, (for it is the third hour of the day.) But this is that spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall be in the last days, says God, I 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 elder dream dreams: And also upon my servants and upon my maids in those days will I pour out from my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will give wonders in heaven above, and signs upon the earth below; blood, and fire, and steam of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and distinguished day of the Lord come: And it shall be, every one, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. Men, Israelites, bear these words; Jesus the Nazarite, a man elected by God for you by powers and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, (as also ye yourselves know:) This one, surrendered by the fixed counsel and foreknowledge of God, having taken by lawless hands, having fastened, ye slew: Whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death: as it was not possible for him to be holden of it. For David says about him, I saw beforehand the Lord before me always, for he is of my right hand, that I be not moved: For this my heart was gladdened, and my tongue was transported with joy; and yet also shall my flesh encamp in hope: For thou wilt not leave my soul in hades neither wilt thou give thy sanctified one to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou wilt fill me with gladness with thy face. Men, brethren, it is permitted to speak with freedom of speech to you of the patriarch David, for he died and was buried, and his tomb is with us even till this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God swore with an oath to him, of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up Christ to sit upon his throne: Foreknowing, he spake of the rising up of Christ, that his soul was not left in hades, neither did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus God raised up, of which all we are witnesses. Therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out this, which ye now see and hear. For David ascended not into the heavens: and he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand, Even till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. Therefore let all the house of Israel know certainly, that God made him Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified. And having heard, they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the sent, What shall we do, men, brethren? And Peter said to them, Repent, and be each of you immersed in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all afar off, as many as the Lord our God should call. And with many other words he appealed earnestly and besought, saying, Be ye saved from this crooked generation. Then truly they having gladly received his word were immersed: and in that day were added about three thousand souls.
