Prologue

The former account I made, O (A)Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, (B)until the day in which [a]He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit (C)had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, (D)to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many [b]infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

The Holy Spirit Promised

(E)And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have (F)heard from Me; (G)for John truly baptized with water, (H)but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them, (I)“It is not for you to (J)know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. (K)But you shall receive power (L)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and (M)you shall be [c]witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and (N)Samaria, and to the (O)end of the earth.”

Jesus Ascends to Heaven(P)

(Q)Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, (R)He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them (S)in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, (T)will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

The Upper Room Prayer Meeting

12 (U)Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. 13 And when they had entered, they went up (V)into the upper room where they were staying: (W)Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and (X)Simon the Zealot; and (Y)Judas the son of James. 14 (Z)These all continued with one [d]accord in prayer [e]and supplication, with (AA)the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with (AB)His brothers.

Matthias Chosen(AC)

15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the [f]disciples (altogether the number (AD)of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, 16 “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, (AE)which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, (AF)who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; 17 for (AG)he was numbered with us and obtained a part in (AH)this ministry.”

18 (AI)(Now this man purchased a field with (AJ)the [g]wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his [h]entrails gushed out. 19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)

20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms:

(AK)‘Let his dwelling place be [i]desolate,
And let no one live in it’;

and,

(AL)‘Let another take his [j]office.’

21 “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John to that day when (AM)He was taken up from us, one of these must (AN)become a witness with us of His resurrection.”

23 And they proposed two: Joseph called (AO)Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, (AP)who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen 25 (AQ)to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” 26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Coming of the Holy Spirit

When (AR)the Day of Pentecost had fully come, (AS)they were all [k]with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and (AT)it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them [l]divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And (AU)they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began (AV)to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

The Crowd’s Response

And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, (AW)devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the (AX)multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak (AY)Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own [m]language in which we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and (AZ)Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and [n]Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” 12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”

13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”

Peter’s Sermon(BA)

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, (BB)since it is only [o]the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 ‘And(BC) it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
(BD)That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and (BE)your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
(BF)And they shall prophesy.
19 (BG)I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 (BH)The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
21 And it shall come to pass
That (BI)whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.’

22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you (BJ)by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— 23 Him, (BK)being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, (BL)you [p]have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 (BM)whom God raised up, having [q]loosed the [r]pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him:

(BN)‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see (BO)corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’

29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you (BP)of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, (BQ)and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, [s]according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, (BR)that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 (BS)This Jesus God has raised up, (BT)of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore (BU)being exalted [t]to (BV)the right hand of God, and (BW)having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He (BX)poured out this which you now see and hear.

34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:

(BY)‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

37 Now when they heard this, (BZ)they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”

38 Then Peter said to them, (CA)“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the [u]remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and (CB)to your children, and (CC)to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

A Vital Church Grows

40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this [v]perverse generation.” 41 Then those who [w]gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 42 (CD)And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ [x]doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and (CE)many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and (CF)had all things in common, 45 and [y]sold their possessions and goods, and (CG)divided[z] them among all, as anyone had need.

46 (CH)So continuing daily with one accord (CI)in the temple, and (CJ)breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And (CK)the Lord added [aa]to the church daily those who were being saved.

A Lame Man Healed

Now Peter and John went up together (CL)to the temple at the hour of prayer, (CM)the ninth hour. And (CN)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, (CO)to [ab]ask alms from those who entered the temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: (CP)In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, (CQ)leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. (CR)And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who (CS)sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Preaching in Solomon’s Portico

11 Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch (CT)which is called Solomon’s, greatly amazed. 12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 (CU)The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, (CV)glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you (CW)delivered up and (CX)denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. 14 But you denied (CY)the Holy One (CZ)and the Just, and (DA)asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and killed the [ac]Prince of life, (DB)whom God raised from the dead, (DC)of which we are witnesses. 16 (DD)And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

17 “Yet now, brethren, I know that (DE)you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But (DF)those things which God foretold (DG)by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19 (DH)Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send [ad]Jesus Christ, who was [ae]preached to you before, 21 (DI)whom heaven must receive until the times of (DJ)restoration of all things, (DK)which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since [af]the world began. 22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, (DL)‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ 24 Yes, and (DM)all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also [ag]foretold these days. 25 (DN)You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, (DO)‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 26 To you (DP)first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, (DQ)in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”

Peter and John Arrested

Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the (DR)Sadducees came upon them, being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

Addressing the Sanhedrin

And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, as well as (DS)Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, (DT)“By what power or by what name have you done this?”

(DU)Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, (DV)that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, (DW)whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the (DX)‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 (DY)Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

The Name of Jesus Forbidden

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, (DZ)and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed (EA)standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 saying, (EB)“What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a [ah]notable miracle has been done through them is (EC)evident[ai] to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.”

18 (ED)So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, (EE)“Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 (EF)For we cannot but speak the things which (EG)we have seen and heard.” 21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, (EH)because of the people, since they all (EI)glorified God for (EJ)what had been done. 22 For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.

Prayer for Boldness(EK)

23 And being let go, (EL)they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, (EM)You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who [aj]by the mouth of Your servant David have said:

(EN)‘Why did the nations rage,
And the people plot vain things?
26 The kings of the earth took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the Lord and against His Christ.’

27 “For (EO)truly against (EP)Your holy Servant Jesus, (EQ)whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 (ER)to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants (ES)that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, (ET)and that signs and wonders may be done (EU)through the name of (EV)Your holy Servant Jesus.”

31 And when they had prayed, (EW)the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, (EX)and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

Sharing in All Things

32 Now the multitude of those who believed (EY)were of one heart and one soul; (EZ)neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with (FA)great power the apostles gave (FB)witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And (FC)great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; (FD)for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 (FE)and laid them at the apostles’ feet; (FF)and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

36 And [ak]Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of [al]Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 (FG)having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

Lying to the Holy Spirit

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. (FH)But Peter said, “Ananias, why has (FI)Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”

Then Ananias, hearing these words, (FJ)fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. And the young men arose and (FK)wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.

Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?”

She said, “Yes, for so much.”

Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together (FL)to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 (FM)Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 11 (FN)So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.

Continuing Power in the Church

12 And (FO)through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. (FP)And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. 13 Yet (FQ)none of the rest dared join them, (FR)but the people esteemed them highly. 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, (FS)that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. 16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing (FT)sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

Imprisoned Apostles Freed

17 (FU)Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with [am]indignation, 18 (FV)and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison. 19 But at night (FW)an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 20 “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people (FX)all the words of this life.”

21 And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught. (FY)But the high priest and those with him came and called the [an]council together, with all the [ao]elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

Apostles on Trial Again

22 But when the officers came and did not find them in the prison, they returned and reported, 23 saying, “Indeed we found the prison shut securely, and the guards standing [ap]outside before the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside!” 24 Now when [aq]the high priest, (FZ)the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they wondered what the outcome would be. 25 So one came and told them, [ar]saying, “Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!”

26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them without violence, (GA)for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, 28 saying, (GB)“Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, (GC)and intend to bring this Man’s (GD)blood on us!”

29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: (GE)“We ought to obey God rather than men. 30 (GF)The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by (GG)hanging on a tree. 31 (GH)Him God has exalted to His right hand to be (GI)Prince and (GJ)Savior, (GK)to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And (GL)we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit (GM)whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

Gamaliel’s Advice

33 When they heard this, they were (GN)furious[as] and plotted to kill them. 34 Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named (GO)Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them: “Men of Israel, [at]take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men. 36 For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, [au]joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing. 37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed. 38 And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; 39 (GP)but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found (GQ)to fight against God.”

40 And they agreed with him, and when they had (GR)called for the apostles (GS)and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 So they departed from the presence of the council, (GT)rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for [av]His name. 42 And daily (GU)in the temple, and in every house, (GV)they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

Seven Chosen to Serve

Now in those days, (GW)when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the (GX)Hellenists,[aw] because their widows were neglected (GY)in the daily distribution. Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, (GZ)“It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. Therefore, brethren, (HA)seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this (HB)business; but we (HC)will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, (HD)a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and (HE)Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and (HF)Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, whom they set before the apostles; and (HG)when they had prayed, (HH)they laid hands on them.

Then (HI)the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many (HJ)of the priests were obedient to the faith.

Stephen Accused of Blasphemy

And Stephen, full of [ax]faith and power, did great (HK)wonders and signs among the people. Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen. 10 And (HL)they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. 11 (HM)Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12 And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council. 13 They also set up false witnesses who said, “This man does not cease to speak [ay]blasphemous words against this holy place and the law; 14 (HN)for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.” 15 And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel.

Stephen’s Address: The Call of Abraham

Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?”

And he said, (HO)“Brethren and fathers, listen: The (HP)God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in (HQ)Haran, and said to him, (HR)‘Get out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.’ Then (HS)he came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was (HT)dead, He moved him to this land in which you now dwell. And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, (HU)He promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him. But God spoke in this way: (HV)that his descendants would dwell in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into (HW)bondage and oppress them four hundred years. (HX)‘And the nation to whom they will be in bondage I will (HY)judge,’ said God, (HZ)‘and after that they shall come out and serve Me in this place.’ (IA)Then He gave him the covenant of circumcision; (IB)and so Abraham begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; (IC)and Isaac begot Jacob, and (ID)Jacob begot the twelve patriarchs.

The Patriarchs in Egypt

(IE)“And the patriarchs, becoming envious, (IF)sold Joseph into Egypt. (IG)But God was with him 10 and delivered him out of all his troubles, (IH)and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. 11 (II)Now a famine and great [az]trouble came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers found no sustenance. 12 (IJ)But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. 13 And the (IK)second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to the Pharaoh. 14 (IL)Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob and (IM)all his relatives to him, [ba]seventy-five people. 15 (IN)So Jacob went down to Egypt; (IO)and he died, he and our fathers. 16 And (IP)they were carried back to Shechem and laid in (IQ)the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.

God Delivers Israel by Moses

17 “But when (IR)the time of the promise drew near which God had sworn to Abraham, (IS)the people grew and multiplied in Egypt 18 till another king (IT)arose who did not know Joseph. 19 This man dealt treacherously with our people, and oppressed our forefathers, (IU)making them expose their babies, so that they might not live. 20 (IV)At this time Moses was born, and (IW)was well pleasing to God; and he was brought up in his father’s house for three months. 21 But (IX)when he was set out, (IY)Pharaoh’s daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son. 22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was (IZ)mighty in words and deeds.

23 (JA)“Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. 24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended and avenged him who was oppressed, and struck down the Egyptian. 25 For he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not understand. 26 And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brethren; why do you wrong one another?’ 27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, (JB)‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? 28 Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?’ 29 (JC)Then, at this saying, Moses fled and became a dweller in the land of Midian, where he (JD)had two sons.

30 (JE)“And when forty years had passed, an Angel [bb]of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai. 31 When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he drew near to observe, the voice of the Lord came to him, 32 saying, (JF)‘I am the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ And Moses trembled and dared not look. 33 (JG)‘Then the Lord said to him, “Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground. 34 I have surely (JH)seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt; I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will (JI)send you to Egypt.” ’

35 “This Moses whom they rejected, saying, (JJ)‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’ is the one God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer (JK)by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 (JL)He brought them out, after he had (JM)shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, (JN)and in the Red Sea, (JO)and in the wilderness forty years.

Israel Rebels Against God

37 “This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, (JP)‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. (JQ)Him[bc] you shall hear.’

38 (JR)“This is he who was in the [bd]congregation in the wilderness with (JS)the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, (JT)the one who received the living (JU)oracles[be] to give to us, 39 whom our fathers (JV)would not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt, 40 (JW)saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’ 41 (JX)And they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and (JY)rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 42 Then (JZ)God turned and gave them up to worship (KA)the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets:

(KB)‘Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness,
O house of Israel?
43 You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
And the star of your god Remphan,
Images which you made to worship;
And (KC)I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’

God’s True Tabernacle

44 “Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses (KD)to make it according to the pattern that he had seen, 45 (KE)which our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the Gentiles, (KF)whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the (KG)days of David, 46 (KH)who found favor before God and (KI)asked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob. 47 (KJ)But Solomon built Him a house.

48 “However, (KK)the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says:

49 ‘Heaven(KL) is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
What house will you build for Me? says the Lord,
Or what is the place of My rest?
50 Has My hand not (KM)made all these things?’

Israel Resists the Holy Spirit

51 You (KN)stiff-necked[bf] and (KO)uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. 52 (KP)Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of (KQ)the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, 53 (KR)who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.

Stephen the Martyr

54 (KS)When they heard these things they were [bg]cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. 55 But he, (KT)being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the (KU)glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 56 and said, “Look! (KV)I see the heavens opened and the (KW)Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; 58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And (KX)the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, (KY)receive my spirit.” 60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, (KZ)“Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Saul Persecutes the Church

Now Saul was consenting to his death.

At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and (LA)they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and (LB)made great lamentation over him.

As for Saul, (LC)he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.

Christ Is Preached in Samaria

Therefore (LD)those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. Then (LE)Philip went down to [bh]the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For (LF)unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. And there was great joy in that city.

The Sorcerer’s Profession of Faith

But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously (LG)practiced [bi]sorcery in the city and (LH)astonished the [bj]people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” 11 And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his [bk]sorceries for a long time. 12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things (LI)concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. 13 Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.

The Sorcerer’s Sin

14 Now when the (LJ)apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, 15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them (LK)that they might receive the Holy Spirit. 16 For (LL)as yet He had fallen upon none of them. (LM)They had only been baptized in (LN)the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then (LO)they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”

20 But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because (LP)you thought that (LQ)the gift of God could be purchased with money! 21 You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your (LR)heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God (LS)if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are (LT)poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.”

24 Then Simon answered and said, (LU)“Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me.”

25 So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

Christ Is Preached to an Ethiopian(LV)

26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to (LW)Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is [bl]desert. 27 So he arose and went. And behold, (LX)a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and (LY)had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”

30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”

31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:

(LZ)“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
(MA)So He opened not His mouth.
33 In His humiliation His (MB)justice was taken away,
And who will declare His generation?
For His life is (MC)taken from the earth.”

34 So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, (MD)and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. (ME)What hinders me from being baptized?”

37 [bm]Then Philip said, (MF)“If you believe with all your heart, you may.”

And he answered and said, (MG)“I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”

38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. 39 Now when they came up out of the water, (MH)the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at [bn]Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to (MI)Caesarea.

The Damascus Road: Saul Converted(MJ)

Then (MK)Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked (ML)letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

(MM)As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, (MN)why are you persecuting Me?”

And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”

Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. [bo]It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”

Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

And (MO)the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one. Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Ananias Baptizes Saul

10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus (MP)named Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.”

And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”

11 So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul (MQ)of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying. 12 And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”

13 Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, (MR)how much [bp]harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all (MS)who call on Your name.”

15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for (MT)he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before (MU)Gentiles, (MV)kings, and the (MW)children[bq] of Israel. 16 For (MX)I will show him how many things he must suffer for My (MY)name’s sake.”

17 (MZ)And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and (NA)laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord [br]Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and (NB)be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized.

19 So when he had received food, he was strengthened. (NC)Then Saul spent some days with the disciples at Damascus.

Saul Preaches Christ

20 Immediately he preached [bs]the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.

21 Then all who heard were amazed, and said, (ND)“Is this not he who destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and has come here for that purpose, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”

22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, (NE)and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

Saul Escapes Death

23 Now after many days were past, (NF)the Jews plotted to kill him. 24 (NG)But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night, to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night and (NH)let him down through the wall in a large basket.

Saul at Jerusalem

26 And (NI)when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple. 27 (NJ)But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, (NK)and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 So (NL)he was with them at Jerusalem, coming in and going out. 29 And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus and disputed against the (NM)Hellenists,[bt] (NN)but they attempted to kill him. 30 When the brethren found out, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him out to Tarsus.

The Church Prospers

31 (NO)Then the [bu]churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were (NP)edified.[bv] And walking in the (NQ)fear of the Lord and in the (NR)comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were (NS)multiplied.

Aeneas Healed

32 Now it came to pass, as Peter went (NT)through all parts of the country, that he also came down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda. 33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years and was paralyzed. 34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, (NU)Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately. 35 So all who dwelt at Lydda and (NV)Sharon saw him and (NW)turned to the Lord.

Dorcas Restored to Life

36 At Joppa there was a certain disciple named [bw]Tabitha, which is translated [bx]Dorcas. This woman was full (NX)of good works and charitable deeds which she did. 37 But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in (NY)an upper room. 38 And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them. 39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them. 40 But Peter (NZ)put them all out, and (OA)knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he (OB)said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. 41 Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive. 42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, (OC)and many believed on the Lord. 43 So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with (OD)Simon, a tanner.

Cornelius Sends a Delegation

10 There was a certain man in (OE)Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian [by]Regiment, (OF)a devout man and one who (OG)feared God with all his household, who gave [bz]alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. About [ca]the ninth hour of the day (OH)he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”

And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?”

So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. Now (OI)send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter. He is lodging with (OJ)Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. (OK)He[cb] will tell you what you must do.” And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually. So when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.

Peter’s Vision

The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, (OL)Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about [cc]the sixth hour. 10 Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 11 and (OM)saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”

14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! (ON)For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”

15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, (OO)“What God has [cd]cleansed you must not call common.” 16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.

Summoned to Caesarea

17 Now while Peter [ce]wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate. 18 And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.

19 While Peter thought about the vision, (OP)the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you. 20 (OQ)Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”

21 Then Peter went down to the men [cf]who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?”

22 And they said, “Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and (OR)has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.” 23 Then he invited them in and lodged them.

On the next day Peter went away with them, (OS)and some brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

Peter Meets Cornelius

24 And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, (OT)“Stand up; I myself am also a man.” 27 And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together. 28 Then he said to them, “You know how (OU)unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But (OV)God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 29 Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?”

30 So Cornelius said, [cg]“Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, (OW)a man stood before me (OX)in bright clothing, 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, (OY)your prayer has been heard, and (OZ)your [ch]alms are remembered in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. [ci]When he comes, he will speak to you.’ 33 So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”

Preaching to Cornelius’ Household

34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: (PA)“In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But (PB)in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is (PC)accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the [cj]children of Israel, (PD)preaching peace through Jesus Christ—(PE)He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and (PF)began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 how (PG)God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who (PH)went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, (PI)for God was with Him. 39 And we are (PJ)witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom [ck]they (PK)killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him (PL)God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, 41 (PM)not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us (PN)who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42 And (PO)He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify (PP)that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge (PQ)of the living and the dead. 43 (PR)To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, (PS)whoever believes in Him will receive (PT)remission[cl] of sins.”

The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, (PU)the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 (PV)And [cm]those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, (PW)because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.

Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit (PX)just as we have? 48 (PY)And he commanded them to be baptized (PZ)in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
