Acts

And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

And a certain man lame from his mother"s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles" doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
