Acts 2:23-43

²³Him, I say, being deliuered by the determinate counsell, and foreknowledge of God, after you had taken, with wicked handes you haue crucified and slaine.

²⁴Whome God hath raised vp, and loosed the sorrowes of death, because it was vnpossible that he should be holden of it.

²⁵For Dauid sayeth concerning him, I beheld the Lord alwaies before me: for hee is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken.

²⁶Therefore did mine heart reioyce, and my tongue was glad, and moreouer also my flesh shall rest in hope,

²⁷Because thou wilt not leaue my soule in graue, neither wilt suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.

²⁸Thou hast shewed me the waies of life, and shalt make me full of ioy with thy countenance.

²⁹Men and brethren, I may boldly speake vnto you of the Patriarke Dauid, that hee is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre remaineth with vs vnto this day.

³⁰Therefore, seeing hee was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that of the fruite of his loynes hee woulde raise vp Christ concerning the flesh, to set him vpon his throne,

³¹Hee knowing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soule shoulde not bee left in graue, neither his flesh shoulde see corruption.

³²This Iesus hath God raised vp, whereof we all are witnesses.

³³Since then that he by the right hande of God hath bene exalted, and hath receiued of his Father the promise of the holy Ghost, hee hath shed foorth this which yee nowe see and heare.

³⁴For Dauid is not ascended into heauen, but he sayth, The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hande,

³⁵Vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.

³⁶Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a suretie, that God hath made him both Lord, and Christ, this Iesus, I say, whome yee haue crucified.

³⁷Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their heartes, and said vnto Peter and the other Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we doe?

³⁸Then Peter said vnto them, Amend your liues, and bee baptized euery one of you in the Name of Iesus Christ for the remission of sinnes: and ye shall receiue the gift of the holy Ghost.

³⁹For the promise is made vnto you, and to your children, and to all that are a farre off, euen as many as the Lord our God shall call.

⁴⁰And with many other words he besought and exhorted them, saying, Saue your selues from this froward generation.

⁴¹Then they that gladly receiued his word, were baptized: and the same day there were added to the Church about three thousand soules.

⁴²And they continued in the Apostles doctrine, and fellowship, and breaking of bread, and prayers.

⁴³And feare came vpon euery soule: and many wonders and signes were done by ye Apostles.
