Line 6: Line 6:

[3] To them he presented himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.

[4] And while staying with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me,

[5] for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."

[7] He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.

[8] But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Sama'ria and to the end of the earth."

[9] And when he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

[10] And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes,

Line 17: Line 17:

[14] All these with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

[15] In those days Peter stood up among the brethren (the company of persons was in all about a hundred and twenty), and said,

−

[16] "Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus.

[18] (Now this man bought a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.

[19] And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akel'dama, that is, Field of Blood.)

[20] For it is written in the book of Psalms, `Let his habitation become desolate,

and let there be no one to live in it';

Line 27: Line 27:

[22] beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us -- one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection."

[23] And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsab'bas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthi'as.

[26] And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthi'as; and he was enrolled with the eleven apostles.

Line 87: Line 87:

[39] For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him."

[40] And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation."

−

[41] So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

[46] And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts,

[47] praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

Line 132: Line 132:

[8] Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders,

[9] if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a cripple, by what means this man has been healed,

−

[10] be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man is standing before you well.

+

[12] And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

[13] Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they wondered; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

[14] But seeing the man that had been healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition.

Line 162: Line 162:

[35] and laid it at the apostles' feet; and distribution was made to each as any had need.

[36] Thus Joseph who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas (which means, Son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,

==Acts.5==

[1] But a man named Anani'as with his wife Sapphi'ra sold a piece of property,

Line 197: Line 198:

[32] And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him."

[33] When they heard this they were enraged and wanted to kill them.

−

[34] But a Pharisee in the council named Gama'li-el, a teacher of the law, held in honor by all the people, stood up and ordered the men to be put outside for a while.

[34] But a Pharisee in the council named Gama'li-el, a teacher of the law, held in honor by all the people, stood up and ordered the men to be put outside for a while.

[35] And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you do with these men.

[36] For before these days Theu'das arose, giving himself out to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him; but he was slain and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.

[37] After him Judas the Galilean arose in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him; he also perished, and all who followed him were scattered.

[38] So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this undertaking is of men, it will fail;

−

[39] but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!"

+

[39] but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!"

[40] So they took his advice, and when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

[41] Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.

Line 284: Line 285:

[51] "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.

[52] Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered,

−

[53] you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it."

+

[53] you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it."

[54] Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth against him.

[55] But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God;

[56] and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God."~~~~

[56] and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God."

[57] But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together upon him.

[58] Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

[59] And as they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

−

[60] And he knelt down and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Line 390: Line 391:

[7] When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those that waited on him,

[8] and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

[9] The next day, as they were on their journey and coming near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

[9] The next day, as they were on their journey and coming near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

[10] And he became hungry and desired something to eat; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance

[11] and saw the heaven opened, and something descending, like a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth.

Line 397: Line 398:

[14] But Peter said, "No, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."

[15] And the voice came to him again a second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call common."

−

[16] This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.

[17] Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate

[18] and called out to ask whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.

Line 422: Line 423:

[39] And we are witnesses to all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree;

[40] but God raised him on the third day and made him manifest;

[41] not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

[43] To him all the prophets bear witness that every one who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."

Line 568: Line 569:

[20] But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city; and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.

[21] When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Ico'nium and to Antioch,

[22] strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.

[23] And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed.

[24] Then they passed through Pisid'ia, and came to Pamphyl'ia.

Line 574: Line 575:

[26] and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

[27] And when they arrived, they gathered the church together and declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.

==Acts.15==

[1] But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

Line 853: Line 855:

[1] "Brethren and fathers, hear the defense which I now make before you."

[2] And when they heard that he addressed them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet. And he said:

−

[3] "I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cili'cia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gama'li-el, educated according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as you all are this day.

[4] I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women,

[5] as the high priest and the whole council of elders bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brethren, and I journeyed to Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.

Line 880: Line 882:

[28] The tribune answered, "I bought this citizenship for a large sum." Paul said, "But I was born a citizen."

[29] So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him instantly; and the tribune also was afraid, for he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had bound him.

−

[30] But on the morrow, desiring to know the real reason why the Jews accused him, he unbound him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down and set him before them.

Line 932: Line 934:

[13] Neither can they prove to you what they now bring up against me.

Line 943: Line 945:

[24] After some days Felix came with his wife Drusil'la, who was a Jewess; and he sent for Paul and heard him speak upon faith in Christ Jesus. [25] And as he argued about justice and self-control and future judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, "Go away for the present; when I have an opportunity I will summon you."

[26] At the same time he hoped that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him.
