Acts 2:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 [a]And it shall be, that whosoever shall [b]call on the Name of the Lord, shall be saved.
22 [c]Ye men of Israel, hear these words, JESUS of Nazareth, a man [d]approved of God among you with great works, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him, I say, being delivered by the determinate counsel, and [e]foreknowledge of God, after you had taken, with wicked [f]hands you have crucified and [g]slain.
