- 11:1 And the apostles and brothers that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
- 11:2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
- 11:3 Saying, You went in to men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.
- 11:4 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order to them, saying,
- 11:5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
- 11:6 On the which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw four footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
- 11:7 And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
- 11:8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean has at any time entered into my mouth.
- 11:9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God has cleansed, that call not you common.
- 11:10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
- 11:11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come to the house where I was, sent from Caesarea to me.
- 11:12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brothers accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house:
- 11:13 And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
- 11:14 Who shall tell you words, whereby you and all your house shall be saved.
- 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
- 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
- 11:17 For as much then as God gave them the like gift as he did to us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
- 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then has God also to the Gentiles granted repentance to life.
- 11:19 Now they which were scattered abroad on the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but to the Jews only.
- 11:20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the LORD Jesus.
- 11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
- 11:22 Then tidings of these things came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
- 11:23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would hold to the Lord.
- 11:24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added to the Lord.
- 11:25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
- 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
- 11:27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch.
- 11:28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
- 11:29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brothers which dwelled in Judaea:
- 11:30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

- 10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
- 10:2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
- 10:3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
- 10:4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms are come up for a memorial before God.
- 10:5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
- 10:6 He lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell you what you ought to do.
- 10:7 And when the angel which spoke to Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
- 10:8 And when he had declared all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
- 10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
- 10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
- 10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending on him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
- 10:12 Wherein were all manner of four footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
- 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
- 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
- 10:15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time, What God has cleansed, that call not you common.
- 10:16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
- 10:17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,
- 10:18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
- 10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek you.
- 10:20 Arise therefore, and get you down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
- 10:21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom you seek: what is the cause why you are come?
- 10:22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that fears God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for you into his house, and to hear words of you.
- 10:23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
- 10:24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
- 10:25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
- 10:26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
- 10:27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
- 10:28 And he said to them, You know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation; but God has showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
- 10:29 Therefore came I to you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent you have sent for me?
- 10:30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
- 10:31 And said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
- 10:32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call here Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he comes, shall speak to you.
- 10:33 Immediately therefore I sent to you; and you have well done that you are come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded you of God.
- 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
- 10:35 But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him.
- 10:36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
- 10:37 That word, I say, you know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
- 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
- 10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
- 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;
- 10:41 Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
- 10:42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
- 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whoever believes in him shall receive remission of sins.
- 10:44 While Peter yet spoke these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
- 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
- 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
- 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
- 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Acts 9
2017年7月28日 by Leave a Comment
- 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
- 9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
- 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
- 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecute you me?
- 9:5 And he said, Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom you persecute: it is hard for you to kick against the pricks.
- 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what will you have me to do? And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.
- 9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
- 9:8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
- 9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
- 9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
- 9:11 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prays,
- 9:12 And has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
- 9:13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem:
- 9:14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on your name.
- 9:15 But the Lord said to him, Go your way: for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
- 9:16 For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
- 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared to you in the way as you came, has sent me, that you might receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
- 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight immediately, and arose, and was baptized.
- 9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
- 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
- 9:21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came here for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?
- 9:22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelled at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
- 9:23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
- 9:24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
- 9:25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
- 9:26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
- 9:27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
- 9:28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
- 9:29 And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
- 9:30 Which when the brothers knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
- 9:31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
- 9:32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelled at Lydda.
- 9:33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
- 9:34 And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you whole: arise, and make your bed. And he arose immediately.
- 9:35 And all that dwelled at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
- 9:36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and giving of alms which she did.
- 9:37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
- 9:38 And for as much as Lydda was near to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
- 9:39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
- 9:40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
- 9:41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
- 9:42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
- 9:43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

- 8:1 And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
- 8:2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
- 8:3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
- 8:4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
- 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ to them.
- 8:6 And the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
- 8:7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
- 8:8 And there was great joy in that city.
- 8:9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
- 8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
- 8:11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
- 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
- 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
- 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John:
- 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
- 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen on none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
- 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
- 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
- 8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
- 8:20 But Peter said to him, Your money perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
- 8:21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter: for your heart is not right in the sight of God.
- 8:22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
- 8:23 For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
- 8:24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray you to the LORD for me, that none of these things which you have spoken come on me.
- 8:25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
- 8:26 And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert.
- 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
- 8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
- 8:29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.
- 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understand you what you read?
- 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
- 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
- 8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
- 8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
- 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus.
- 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what does hinder me to be baptized?
- 8:37 And Philip said, If you believe with all your heart, you may. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
- 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
- 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
- 8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
Acts 7

- 7:1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
- 7:2 And he said, Men, brothers, and fathers, listen; The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelled in Charran,
- 7:3 And said to him, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and come into the land which I shall show you.
- 7:4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelled in Charran: and from there, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein you now dwell.
- 7:5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
- 7:6 And God spoke on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.
- 7:7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
- 7:8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.
- 7:9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
- 7:10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
- 7:11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
- 7:12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
- 7:13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers; and Joseph’s kindred was made known to Pharaoh.
- 7:14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, three score and fifteen souls.
- 7:15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
- 7:16 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulcher that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.
- 7:17 But when the time of the promise drew near, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
- 7:18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
- 7:19 The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
- 7:20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months:
- 7:21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
- 7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
- 7:23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers the children of Israel.
- 7:24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
- 7:25 For he supposed his brothers would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
- 7:26 And the next day he showed himself to them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, you are brothers; why do you wrong one to another?
- 7:27 But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
- 7:28 Will you kill me, as you did the Egyptian yesterday?
- 7:29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
- 7:30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
- 7:31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came to him,
- 7:32 Saying, I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and dared not behold.
- 7:33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off your shoes from your feet: for the place where you stand is holy ground.
- 7:34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you into Egypt.
- 7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
- 7:36 He brought them out, after that he had showed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
- 7:37 This is that Moses, which said to the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you of your brothers, like to me; him shall you hear.
- 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spoke to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give to us:
- 7:39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
- 7:40 Saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
- 7:41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
- 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O you house of Israel, have you offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
- 7:43 Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which you made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
- 7:44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
- 7:45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David;
- 7:46 Who found favor before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
- 7:47 But Solomon built him an house.
- 7:48 However, the most High dwells not in temples made with hands; as said the prophet,
- 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will you build me? said the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
- 7:50 Has not my hand made all these things?
- 7:51 You stiff necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
- 7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers:
- 7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
- 7:54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
- 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
- 7:56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
- 7:57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran on him with one accord,
- 7:58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
- 7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling on God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
- 7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

- 6:1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
- 6:2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
- 6:3 Why, brothers, look you out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
- 6:4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
- 6:5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
- 6:6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
- 6:7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
- 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
- 6:9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
- 6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke.
- 6:11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
- 6:12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came on him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
- 6:13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceases not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
- 6:14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
- 6:15 And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

- 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
- 5:2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
- 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
- 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not your own? and after it was sold, was it not in your own power? why have you conceived this thing in your heart? you have not lied to men, but to God.
- 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
- 5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
- 5:7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
- 5:8 And Peter answered to her, Tell me whether you sold the land for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
- 5:9 Then Peter said to her, How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried your husband are at the door, and shall carry you out.
- 5:10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
- 5:11 And great fear came on all the church, and on as many as heard these things.
- 5:12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders worked among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
- 5:13 And of the rest dared no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
- 5:14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
- 5:15 So that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
- 5:16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about to Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
- 5:17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
- 5:18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
- 5:19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
- 5:20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
- 5:21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
- 5:22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,
- 5:23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
- 5:24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
- 5:25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
- 5:26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
- 5:27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
- 5:28 Saying, Did not we straightly command you that you should not teach in this name? and, behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.
- 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
- 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you slew and hanged on a tree.
- 5:31 Him has God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
- 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God has given to them that obey him.
- 5:33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
- 5:34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
- 5:35 And said to them, You men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do as touching these men.
- 5:36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nothing.
- 5:37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
- 5:38 And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing:
- 5:39 But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it; lest haply you be found even to fight against God.
- 5:40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
- 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
- 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
Acts 4

- 4:1 And as they spoke to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came on them,
- 4:2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
- 4:3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold to the next day: for it was now eventide.
- 4:4 However, many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
- 4:5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
- 4:6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
- 4:7 And when they had set them in the middle, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have you done this?
- 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them, You rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
- 4:9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the weak man, by what means he is made whole;
- 4:10 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, even by him does this man stand here before you whole.
- 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nothing of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
- 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
- 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
- 4:14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
- 4:15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
- 4:16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle has been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
- 4:17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straightly threaten them, that they speak from now on to no man in this name.
- 4:18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
- 4:19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, judge you.
- 4:20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
- 4:21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
- 4:22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was showed.
- 4:23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
- 4:24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, you are God, which have made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
- 4:25 Who by the mouth of your servant David have said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
- 4:26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
- 4:27 For of a truth against your holy child Jesus, whom you have anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
- 4:28 For to do whatever your hand and your counsel determined before to be done.
- 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant to your servants, that with all boldness they may speak your word,
- 4:30 By stretching forth your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of your holy child Jesus.
- 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
- 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
- 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was on them all.
- 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
- 4:35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made to every man according as he had need.
- 4:36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
- 4:37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

- 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
- 3:2 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;
- 3:3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
- 3:4 And Peter, fastening his eyes on him with John, said, Look on us.
- 3:5 And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something of them.
- 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
- 3:7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
- 3:8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
- 3:9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
- 3:10 And they knew 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 to him.
- 3:11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
- 3:12 And when Peter saw it, he answered to the people, You men of Israel, why marvel you at this? or why look you so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
- 3:13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus; whom you delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
- 3:14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted to you;
- 3:15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God has raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
- 3:16 And his name through faith in his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know: yes, the faith which is by him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
- 3:17 And now, brothers, I know that through ignorance you did it, as did also your rulers.
- 3:18 But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he has so fulfilled.
- 3:19 Repent you therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
- 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached to you:
- 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
- 3:22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you of your brothers, like to me; him shall you hear in all things whatever he shall say to you.
- 3:23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
- 3:24 Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
- 3:25 You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
- 3:26 To you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

- 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
- 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
- 2:3 And there appeared to them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat on each of them.
- 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
- 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
- 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
- 2:7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
- 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
- 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
- 2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
- 2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
- 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What means this?
- 2:13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
- 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, You men of Judaea, and all you that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and listen to my words:
- 2:15 For these are not drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
- 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
- 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
- 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
- 2:19 And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
- 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
- 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
- 2:22 You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the middle of you, as you yourselves also know:
- 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
- 2:24 Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be held of it.
- 2:25 For David speaks concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
- 2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
- 2:27 Because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
- 2:28 You have made known to me the ways of life; you shall make me full of joy with your countenance.
- 2:29 Men and brothers, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day.
- 2:30 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;
- 2:31 He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
- 2:32 This Jesus has God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
- 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.
- 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he said himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit you on my right hand,
- 2:35 Until I make your foes your footstool.
- 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made the same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
- 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brothers, what shall we do?
- 2:38 Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
- 2:39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
- 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
- 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added to them about three thousand souls.
- 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
- 2:43 And fear came on every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
- 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
- 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
- 2:46 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,
- 2:47 Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
