Then Paul arose, and waving his hand, said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hear me. read more.
The God of this people Israel selected our fathers, and exalted the people during their abode in the land of Egypt, and with a mighty arm brought he them out of it. And about the space of forty years he bore with their behaviour in the wilderness. And destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he distributed their territory to them by lot. And after these things, during a space of about four hundred and fifty years, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. And from that time they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years. And removing him, he raised up unto them David to be king; respecting whom also he spake testifying, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall perform all my intentions." From this man's seed according to the promise hath God raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus: John having preached before his first coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. But as John was finishing his course, he said, Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not [the Messiah]. But, behold! he is coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose. Men and brethren, children of the race of Abraham, and all among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. For they who dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, being ignorant of him, and the words of the prophets that are read every sabbath-day, by condemning him have fulfilled them. And though they found no cause of death in him, they besought Pilate that he might be killed. But when they had finished all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. But God raised him from the dead: and he was seen many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people. And we preach to you the promise made to our fathers; for this hath God fulfilled to their children, even to us, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee." But that he raised him from the dead, no more in future to return to corruption, he hath thus spoken, "I will give you the holy things of David, which are sure." Wherefore also he saith in another place, "Thou wilt not permit thy Holy One to see corruption." For David indeed, after having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw corruption. But he, whom God raised up, saw no corruption. Be it therefore known unto you, men and brethren, that through this man remission of sin is proclaimed to you: and by this man shall every one who believeth be justified from all things, from which it was not possible that he should be justified by the law of Moses. Take heed then, that this come not upon you, which is spoken by the prophets; "Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I do a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though one declare it unto you." But when the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles entreated that these words might be spoken to them the following sabbath. And when the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, exhorting them, persuaded them to abide stedfast in the grace of God. And on the next sabbath almost all the city thronged together to hear the word of God. But the Jews seeing the multitude, were filled with envy, and opposed the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling. Then Paul and Barnabas speaking with undaunted boldness, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken unto you: but since ye have thrust it from you, and judged yourselves not worthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath the Lord enjoined us, "I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou mightest be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth." Now when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and they believed, even as many as were ordained to life eternal. So the word of the Lord was diffused through the whole region. Then the Jews stirred up the devout women, and those who were respectable, and the principal persons of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders. But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

I am the good shepherd, and know my own [sheep], and am known of my own. As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: these also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, one shepherd. read more.

THESE things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee: even as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that with regard to all those whom thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life: and this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the Messiah.
