10 Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from II Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we do hear them speaking in our 12 tongues the mighty works of God. And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying 13 one to another, What meaneth this? But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, saying, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear 15 unto my words. For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is but the third hour 16 of the day; but this is that which hath been spoken by the prophet Joel;

And your young men shall see visions,

Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of 22 Nazareth, a man approved of God unto you by Gr. powers. mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know; him, being delivered up by 23 the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay whom God raised up, having loosed 24 the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. For David saith 25 concerning him,

I beheld the Lord always before my face; For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

Therefore my heart was glad, and my 26 tongue rejoiced;

hope:

Because thou wilt not leave my soul in 27

Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see

Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.

Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the 29 patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing 30 that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set one upon his throne; he foreseeing this spake of the re- 31 surrection of the Christ, that neither was he left in Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. Or, of whom This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all 32 are witnesses. Being therefore by the right 33 hand of God exalted, and having received of

the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear. 3+ For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself,

Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? 38 And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye 39 shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the 40 Lord our God shall call unto him. And with

many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked

And fear came upon every soul and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all 45 things common; and they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as 46 any man had need. And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they did take their food with gladness and singleness of heart,

Now Peter and John were going up into the 1 3 temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man that was lame from 2 his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; who seeing Peter and John about 3 to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with 4 John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed 5 unto them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, Silver and gold have I 6 none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk. And he took him by the right hand, and raised 7 him up and immediately his feet and his anklebones received strength. And leaping up, he 8 stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him 9 walking and praising God: and they took 10 knowledge of him, that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

And as he held Peter and John, all the 11 people ran together unto them in the 2 porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the 12 people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this man? or why fasten ye your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk? The God of Abraham, 13 and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his 'Servant Jesus; whom ye de
