Acts 13:16-34

¹⁶Then Paul stode vp and beckened with the honde and sayde: Men of Israel and ye that feare God geve audiece.

¹⁷The God of this people chose oure fathers and exalted the people when they dwelt as straugers in the londe of Egypt and with a mighty arme brought them oute of it

¹⁸and aboute the tyme of .xl. yeares suffred he their maners in the wyldernes.

¹⁹And he destroyed .vii. nacions in the londe of Canaan and devided their londe to them by lot.

²⁰And after warde he gave vnto them iudges aboute the space of .iiii.C. and .l. yeres vnto the tyme of Samuel the Prophet.

²¹And after that they desyred a kinge and God gave vnto them Saul the sonne of Cis a man of the tribe of Beniamin by the space of .xl. yeres.

²²And after he had put him doune he set vp David to be their kynge of whome he reported sayinge: I have founde David the sonne of Iesse a man after myne awne hert he shall fulfill all my will.

²³Of this manes seed hath God (accordinge to his promes) brought forth to the people of Israel a saviour one Iesus

²⁴when Iohn had fyrst preached before his cominge the baptyme of repentaunce to Israel.

²⁵And when Iohn had fulfylled his course he sayde: whome ye thinke that I am the same am I not. But beholde ther cometh one after me whose shewes of his fete I am not worthy to lowse.

²⁶Ye men and brethren chyldren of the generacion of Abraham and whosoever amonge you feareth God to you is this worde of salvacion sent.

²⁷The inhabiters of Ierusalem and their rulers because they knewe him not nor yet the voyces of the Prophetes which are redde every Saboth daye they have fulfilled them in condempninge him.

²⁸And when they founde no cause of deeth in him yet desyred they Pylate to kyll him.

²⁹And when they had fulfilled all that were written of him they toke him doune from the tree and put him in a sepulcre.

³⁰But God raysed him agayne from deeth

³¹and he was sene many dayes of them which came with him from Galile to Ierusalem. Which are his witnesses vnto the people.

³²And we declare vnto you how that the promes made vnto the fathers

³³God hath fulfilled vnto vs their chyldren in that he reysed vp Iesus agayne even as it is written in the fyrste psalme: Thou arte my sonne this same daye begat I the.

³⁴As concernynge that he reysed him vp from deeth now no more to returne to corrupcion he sayde on this wyse: The holy promyses made to David I will geve them faithfully to you.
