CHAPTER 2.
1 The apostles, filled with the Holy Ghost, and
speaking divers languages, are admired by some,
and derided by others. 14 Whom Peter disprov
ing, and showing that the apostles spake by the
power of the Holy Ghost, that Jenis was risen
from the dead, ascended into heaven, had pour-ness,
ed down the sume Holy Ghost, and was the
Messias, a man known to them to be approved
af God by his miracles, wonders, and signs, and
not crucified without his determinate counsel
and foreknowledge: $7 he baptizeth a great
number that were converted. 41 Who afterwards
devoutly and charitably converse together: the

apostles working many miracles, and God daily
increasing his church.

ND when the day of Pentecost was
Ahen they were all B with

one accord ẞ 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 2 cloven
tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon
each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost, and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave thein

utterance.

5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

6 Now when this was noised abroad 3, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were B all 8 amazed and marvelled, saying yone to anothery, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans?

8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, 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 pro-
selytes,

11 Cretes and Arabians, we do 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
meaneth this?

13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine".

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as ye 1 Thess. 5.suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

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 10 approved 10 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 deter-
minate counsel and foreknowledge of God.
ye B have taken, and 8 by y wicked
handsy have crucified and slain:"
24 Whom God hath raised up, having
loosed the 11 pains 11 of death: because it
was not possible that he should be hold-
en of it.

25 For David speaketh 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 also my flesh shall 12 rest in hope 12:

27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in 13 hell 13, 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 14 with thy countenance.

29 15 Men and brethren 15, 16 let me 16
freely speak unto you "of the patriarch
David, that he
17 is both dead and
baried 17, 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, Baccording to the flesh, he would
raise up Christ B to sit on his throne;

11 And as Bthe lame man which was healed 8 held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly i John 10. wondering.

12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

the cure not to have been wrought by his or

John's own power, or holiness, but by God, and
his Son Jesus, and through faith in his name:

Jesus. 17 Which because they did it through
ignorance, and that thereby were fulfill d God's
determinate counsel, and the scriptures: 19 he
exhorteth them by repentance and faith to seek
remission of their sins, and salvation in the

2 And a certain man lame from his
mother's womb was carried 2, 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 Who seeing Peter and John about to
go into the temple asked an alms.

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon
him with John, said, Look on us.

to preach openly to all: 21 when, after their
teaching accordingly in the temple, 29 and before
the council, 33 they are in danger to be killed,

sellor among the Jews, they be kept alive, 40

B

UT a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

2 And kept back1 part of the price. his wife also being privy to it. brought a certain part, and laid it at and the apostles' feet.

3 But Peter said. Ananias, why hath
Satan filled thine heart to lie to the
Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of
the price of the land?

4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine
own? and after it was sold, was it not
in thine own power? why hast thou con-
ceived this thing in thine heart? thou
hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell
down, and gave up the ghost: and great
fear came on all them that heard these
things.

6 And the young men arose, wound
him up 3, and carried him out, and buried

him.

7 And it was about the space of three
hours after, when his wife, not knowing
what was done, came in.

8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell
me whether ye sold the land for so
much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her. How is it
that ye have agreed together to tempt1
the Spirit of the Lord behold, the feet of
them which have buried thy husband are
at the door, and shall carry thee out.
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.

11 And great fear came upon all the
church, and upon as many as heard these
things.

12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's

ND in those days, when the num-
Aber of the disciples was multiplied,
there arose a murmuring of the Gre
cians against the Hebrews, because their
widows were neglected in the daily

God rightly, and how God chose the fathers 20

dead, he removed him into this land,
wherein ye now dwell.
