Book 44 Acts
44:001:001 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
44:001:002 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
44:001:003 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
44:001:004 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
44:001:005 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
44:001:006 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
44:001:007 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
44:001:008 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
44:001:009 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
44:001:010 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
44:001:011 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
44:001:012 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
44:001:013 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
44:001:014 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
44:001:015 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
44:001:016 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
44:001:017 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
44:001:018 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
44:001:019 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
44:001:020 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
44:001:021 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
44:001:022 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
44:001:023 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
44:001:024 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
44:001:025 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
44:001:026 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
44:002:001 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
44:002:002 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
44:002:003 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
44:002:004 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
44:002:005 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
44:002:006 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
44:002:007 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
44:002:008 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
44:002:009 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
44:002:010 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
44:002:011 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
44:002:012 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
44:002:013 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
44:002:014 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
44:002:015 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
44:002:016 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
44:002:017 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:
44:002:018 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
44:002:019 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
44:002:020 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
44:002:021 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
44:002:022 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:
44:002:023 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
44:002:024 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
44:002:025 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:
44:002:026 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
44:002:027 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
44:002:028 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
44:002:029 Men and brethren, let me freely
