2 ¶ Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because in it he had rested from all his work which God created in perfection.
4 ¶ These are the origins of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens
5 and every plant of the field before it was in the earth and all the grass of the field before it grew, for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and neither was there a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
8 ¶ And the LORD God had planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is desirable to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it was divided into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison; that is it which compasses the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 and the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon; this is the same that compasses the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel; this is that which goes toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 ¶ And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou may freely eat;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou dost eat of it thou shalt surely die.
18 ¶ And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living soul, that was its name.
20 And the man gave names to every beast, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every animal of the field; but for the man there was not found a help meet for him.
21 ¶ And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his sides and closed up the flesh in its place;
22 and the LORD God built that which he had taken from the side of the man into a woman and brought her unto the man.
23 And the man said, This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
2 ¶ Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? We have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he asked them where the Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda, for out of thee shall come a Leader that shall shepherd my people Israel.
7 Then Herod, calling the wise men unto him secretly, understood of them with diligence the time of the appearing of the star;
8 and sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go there and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again that I may come and worship him also.
9 ¶ When they had heard the king, they departed; and, behold, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it arrived and stood over where the young child was.
10 Seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And entering into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother; and falling down, they worshipped him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts: gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And being warned by divine revelation in dreams that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 ¶ And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in dreams, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt and remain there until I bring thee word, for Herod will seek the young child to kill him.
14 And awaking, he took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt
15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 ¶ Then Herod, seeing that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth and sent forth and killed all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had understood of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by the Lord through Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Rachel was weeping for her children and would not be comforted because they perished.
19 ¶ But when Herod was dead, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in dreams to Joseph in Egypt,
20 saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother and go into the land of Israel, for they are dead who sought the death of the young child.
21 And he arose and took the young child and his mother and came into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there; notwithstanding, being warned by divine revelation in dreams, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,
23 and he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophets, that he shall be called a Nazarene.

62 These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found; therefore, they were, as polluted, put from the priesthood.
63 And the Tirshatha said unto them that they should not eat of the most holy things until there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
64 ¶ The whole congregation united as one man was forty-two thousand three hundred and seventy,
65 besides their slaves and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven; and there were among them two hundred men and women who were singers.
66 Their horses were seven hundred and thirty-six; their mules, two hundred and forty-five;

68 And some of the heads of the fathers, when they came to the house of the LORD which was at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in his place.
69 They gave after their ability unto the treasure of the work sixty-one thousand drams of gold and five thousand pounds of silver and one hundred priests’ garments.
70 So the priests and the Levites and those of the people and the singers and the porters and the Nethinims dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
2 ¶ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
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.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 ¶ (And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.)
6 Now at this sound, the multitude came together and were confounded because each one heard them speak in his own tongue.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans?
8 And how do we hear each one speak in our own tongue, with which we were brought up?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and the dwellers in Mesopotamia and in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What does this mean?
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14 ¶ Then Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea and all ye that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known unto you and hearken to my words;
15 for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 and for certain on my slaves and on my handmaids I will pour out in those days of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy;
19 and I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke;
20 the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood before that great and notable day of the Lord shall come;
21 and it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Ye 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 midst of you, as ye yourselves also know,
23 him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain,
24 whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
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,
26 therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover even my flesh shall rest in hope
27 because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
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 the Christ to sit on his throne;
31 he, seeing this before, spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades, neither did his flesh see corruption.
32 This Jesus God has raised up, of whom we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being raised up by the right hand of God and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which ye now see and hear.
34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand
35 until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 ¶ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized each one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation.
41 So that those who gladly received his word were baptized, and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42 ¶ And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together and had all things common
45 and sold their possessions and property and distributed them to everyone, as each one had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food together with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 praising God and having grace with all the people. And the Lord added to the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} daily such as should be saved.
