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.

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 the Spirit said to Philip, Go, and join yourself to that chariot. And Philip running forth, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said; Whether do you understand what you are reading? And he said, How could I, unless some one shall guide me? And he called upon Philip coming up, to sit with him; and the place of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led like a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before the one shearing him is dumb, so he opens not his mouth. In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare His generation? because his life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch responding to Philip, said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet speak this? concerning himself, or some other man? Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from the same scripture, preached Jesus to him. And while they were journeying along the road, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch says, Behold water; what doth hinder me from being baptized? OMITTED TEXT And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both came down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more: for he went on his way rejoicing. And Philip was found at Azotus: and going through he preached the gospel to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

And taking him, they led him to the Areopagus, saying; Are we able to know what is this new teaching, spoken by thee? For you bring certain strange things to our hearing: therefore we desire to know what these things wish to be. But all the Athenians and itinerant strangers were accustomed to devote their time to nothing else, than to tell something new, or to hear something. And Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said, Athenian men, I perceive that in all things you are very religious. For going through, and seeing your devotions, I also found an altar on which it was superscribed, To THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore I now preach unto you Him whom you are ignorantly worshiping. God having made the world and all things which are in it, being himself Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; neither is he worshiped by human hands, as if needing something, Himself having given life, and breath, and all things to all; and of (one) man he created every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined their predestinated times, and the boundaries of their habitation; that they should seek God, if perhaps indeed they might feel after him, and find him, though not being far from each one of you. For in him we live and move and have our being, as indeed certain ones of your own poets have said, For we are truly his offspring. Then being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that divinity is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the invention of art and the device of man. Then indeed God winking at the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent: as He has appointed a day, in which he is about to judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; giving faith to all, having raised Him from the dead. And having heard the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: others said; We will hear thee concerning this even again. So Paul went out from their midst. But certain men, having adhered to him, believed; among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman Damarias by name, and others along with them.
