Acts 2:26-45 in English

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:

²⁷ Because thou wilt not leave my soul unto Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption.

²⁸ Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.

²⁹ Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day.

³⁰ Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set one upon his throne;

³¹ he foreseeing this spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left unto Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

³² This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are witnesses.

³³ Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear.

³⁴ For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

³⁵ Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

³⁶ Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.

³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

³⁸ And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.

⁴⁰ And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation.

⁴¹ They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added unto them in that day about three thousand souls.

⁴² And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers.

⁴³ And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

⁴⁴ And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

⁴⁵ and they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need.

²⁶ Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

²⁷ Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, 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 Christ to sit on his throne;

³¹ He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

³² This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

³³ Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

³⁴ For David is not ascended 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 hath made that 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 every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

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 did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

⁴¹ Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

⁴² And they continued stedfastly 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 goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:

²⁷ Because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption.

²⁸ Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.

²⁹ Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day.

³⁰ Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set one upon his throne;

³¹ he foreseeing this spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left in Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

³² This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are witnesses.

³³ Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear.

³⁴ For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

³⁵ Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

³⁶ Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.

³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

³⁸ And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

³⁹ For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.

⁴⁰ And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation.

⁴¹ They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added unto them in that day about three thousand souls.

⁴² And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the 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 they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need.

²⁶ Because of that I SYN joyfully praise you, O God. And I am completely confident that you(sg) will ◄ cause my body to become alive again/ raise me from the dead►.

²⁷ You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not even let my body decay, because I am devoted to you and always obey you.

²⁸ You have told me that you will cause my body to become alive again. You will make me very happy because you will be with me forever.”

²⁹ Peter continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that our royal ancestor, King David, died, and that his body was buried {that people buried his body}. And the place where they buried his body is still here today.

³⁰ So we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But because he was a prophet, he spoke about the Messiah. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king MTY like David was king. (OR, to be the Messiah who would rule God's people like David had ruled them.)

³¹ David knew beforehand what God would do, so he was able to say that God would cause the Messiah to live again after he died. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.”

³² “ After this man Jesus had died, God caused him to become alive again. All of us(exc), his followers, have seen and tell people that Jesus has become alive again.

³³ God has greatly honored Jesus by causing him to rule right beside him MTY in heaven. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from God his Father, just like God promised. So Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, and he has shown that by what you are seeing and hearing.

³⁴ We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself because David did not go up into heaven as Jesus did. Besides that, David himself said this about the Messiah: The Lord God said to my Lord the Messiah, ‘Reign here beside me,

³⁵ while I completely defeat MTY your enemies.’ ”

³⁶ Peter concluded, “So I want you and all other Israelites MTY to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both our Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. But God considers that you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”

³⁷ When the people heard what Peter said , they felt very guilty IDM. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we (exc) do so that God will forgive us ?”

³⁸ Peter answered them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then we(exc) will baptize you, if you now believe in Jesus Christ. Then God will give you the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ God has promised to do that MTY for you and your descendants, and for all others who believe in him, even those who live far away from here. The Lord our God will give his Spirit to everyone whom he invites to become his people!”

⁴⁰ Peter spoke much more and spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “ Ask God to save you so that he will not punish you when he punishes these evil people who have rejected Jesus!”

⁴¹ So the people who believed Peter's message were baptized. There were about three thousand SYN who joined the group of believers that day.

⁴² They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together with the other believers. And they continually ate together and celebrated the Lord's Supper, and continually prayed together.

⁴³ All the people SYN who were in Jerusalem were greatly revering God because the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.

⁴⁴ All of those who believed in Jesus were united and regularly met together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.

⁴⁵ From time to time some of them sold some of their land and some of the other things that they owned, and they would give some of the money from what they sold to others among them, according to what they needed.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,

²⁷ because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

²⁸ You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

²⁹ “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

³⁰ Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,

³¹ he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay.

³² This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.

³³ Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear.

³⁴ For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand

³⁵ until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’

³⁶ “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

³⁸ Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

⁴⁰ With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

⁴¹ Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

⁴² They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

⁴³ Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

⁴⁴ All who believed were together, and had all things in common.

⁴⁵ They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,

²⁷ because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

²⁸ You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

²⁹ “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

⁴⁰ With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

⁴³ Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

⁴⁴ All who believed were together, and had all things in common.

⁴⁵ They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

²⁶ And for this cause my heart was glad and my tongue full of joy, and my flesh will be resting in hope:

²⁷ For you will not let my soul be in hell and you will not give up your Holy One to destruction.

²⁸ You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face.

²⁹ My brothers, I may say to you openly that David came to his death, and was put in the earth, and his resting-place is with us today.

³⁰ But being a prophet, and having in mind the oath which God had given to him, that of the fruit of his body one would take his place as a king,

³¹ He, having knowledge of the future, was talking of the coming again of Christ from the dead, that he was not kept in hell and his body did not see destruction.

³² This Jesus God has given back to life, of which we all are witnesses.

³³ And so, being lifted up to the right hand of God, and having the Father's word that the Holy Spirit would come, he has sent this thing, which now you see and have knowledge of.

³⁴ For David has not gone up into heaven, but says, himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand,

³⁵ Till I put all those who are against you under your feet.

³⁶ For this reason, let all Israel be certain that this Jesus, whom you put to death on the cross, God has made Lord and Christ.

³⁷ Now when these words came to their ears their hearts were troubled, and they said to Peter and the other Apostles, Brothers, what are we to do?

³⁸ And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

³⁹ For the word of God is for you and for your children and for all those who are far off, even all those who may be marked out by the Lord our God.

⁴⁰ And with more such words he gave his witness, offering them salvation and saying, Come out from this evil generation.

⁴¹ Then those who gave hearing to his words had baptism: and about three thousand souls were joined to them that day.

⁴² And they kept their attention fixed on the Apostles' teaching and were united together in the taking of broken bread and in prayer.

⁴³ But fear came on every soul: and all sorts of wonders and signs were done by the Apostles.

⁴⁴ And all those who were of the faith kept together, and had all things in common;

⁴⁵ And exchanging their goods and property for money, they made division of it among them all, as they had need.

²⁶ Therefore has my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted; yea more, my flesh also shall dwell in hope,

²⁷ for thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor wilt thou give thy gracious one to see corruption.

²⁸ Thou hast made known to me the paths of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy countenance.

²⁹ Brethren, let it be allowed to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he has both died and been buried, and his monument is amongst us unto this day.

³⁰ Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, of the fruit of his loins to set upon his throne;

³¹ he, seeing it before, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither has he been left in hades nor his flesh seen corruption.

³² This Jesus has God raised up, whereof all we are witnesses.

³³ Having therefore been exalted 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 behold and hear.

³⁴ For David has not ascended into the heavens, but he says himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand

³⁵ until I have put thine enemies to be the footstool of thy feet.

³⁶ Let the whole house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

³⁷ And having heard it they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, What shall we do, brethren?

³⁸ And Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptised, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God may call.

⁴⁰ And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation.

⁴¹ Those then who had accepted his word were baptised; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

⁴² And they persevered in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles, in breaking of bread and prayers.

⁴³ And fear was upon every soul, and many wonders and signs took place through the apostles' means.

⁴⁴ And all that believed were together, and had all things common,

⁴⁵ and sold their possessions and substance, and distributed them to all, according as any one might have need.

²⁶ For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.

²⁷ Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy 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 Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.

³⁰ Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.

³¹ Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.

³² This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.

³³ Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.

³⁴ For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,

³⁵ Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.

³⁷ Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?

³⁸ But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.

⁴⁰ And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

⁴¹ They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

⁴² And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

⁴³ And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all.

⁴⁴ And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common.

⁴⁵ Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope.

²⁷ Because You will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

²⁸ You have made known to me the ways of life; You will fill me full of joy with Your presence.’

²⁹ “Men, brothers, let me speak with boldness to you about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to 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 seat Him on his throne,

³¹ foreseeing this, he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, ‘that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.’

³² This Jesus God has raised up, of which we all are witnesses.

³³ Therefore having being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

³⁴ For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand,

³⁵ till I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” ’

³⁶ “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

³⁷ Now having heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brothers, what shall we do?”

³⁸ Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

⁴⁰ And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation.”

⁴¹ Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added.

⁴² And they were continuing in the teaching of the apostles, and in fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

⁴³ Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.

⁴⁴ Now all who believed were together, and they had all things in common,

⁴⁵ and they were selling their possessions and goods, and were dividing them among all, to the degree that anyone had need.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Furthermore, even my flesh will repose upon hope,

²⁷ because You will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see decay.

²⁸ You have made known to me roads of life; with Your presence You make me full of gladness.’

²⁹ “Men, brothers, be it permitted to speak to you plainly about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

³⁰ So then, he being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath that of the fruit, according to flesh, of his loins He would raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne,

³¹ he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah, that His soul was not abandoned in Hades, nor did His flesh see decay.

³² “This Jesus God raised, to which we all are witnesses.

³³ Therefore, having been exalted to God's right hand, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this that you now see and hear.

³⁴ Further, David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand

³⁵ until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’

³⁶ Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified!”

³⁷ Now upon hearing this they were cut to the heart and said to Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?!”

³⁸ So Peter said to them: “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, upon the name of Jesus Christ, for forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far away—as many, that is, as the Lord our God may call.”

⁴⁰ With many different words he both testified and kept exhorting, saying, “Escape from this perverse generation!”

⁴¹ Then those who gladly received his word were baptized, and that day about three thousand souls were added.

⁴² And they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' teaching and in the fellowship, both in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers.

⁴³ Fear came upon every soul—many wonders and signs were taking place through the Apostles.

⁴⁴ Now all who believed were together and had all things in common;

⁴⁵ they started selling both possessions and goods and were distributing to all according as anyone had need.

²⁶ That's why I'm so happy! That's why my words are full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!

²⁷ For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay.

²⁸ You have revealed to me the ways of life. You will fill me with joy with your presence.’

²⁹ My brothers and sisters, let me tell you plainly that our ancestor David died and was buried, and his tomb is here with us to this day.

³⁰ But he was a prophet, and knew that God had promised on oath to place one of his descendants on his throne.

³¹ David saw what would happen and spoke about the resurrection of Christ—for Christ was not abandoned to the grave nor did he experience decay.

³² God has raised this Jesus from the dead, and we're all witnesses of that.

³³ Now he's been exalted to God's right hand, and has received from the Father the Holy Spirit whom he promised, and has poured out what you're seeing and hearing.

³⁴ For David didn't ascend into heaven, but he did say: the Lord told my Lord, ‘Sit down here at my right hand

³⁵ until I have made your enemies a stool to put your feet on.’

³⁶ Now let everyone in Israel be totally convinced of this: God has made this Jesus, who you killed on a cross, both Lord and Messiah!”

³⁷ When the people heard this they were conscience-stricken. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”

³⁸ “Repent!” Peter told them. “All of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ This promise is given to you, to your children, and to all who are far away—everyone the Lord our God calls.”

⁴⁰ Peter went on speaking, giving them much more evidence. He warned them, “Save yourselves from this perverted generation.”

⁴¹ Those who accepted what he'd said were baptized, adding about three thousand people to the group of believers that day.

⁴² They committed themselves to what the apostles had taught them, and to the fellowship of the believers, “breaking bread” and praying together.

⁴³ Everyone was in awe, and many miracles and signs were done through the apostles.

⁴⁴ All the believers were together and shared everything they had.

⁴⁵ They sold their property and belongings, sharing the proceeds with everyone as they needed.

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

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

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

²⁹ Men 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.

³⁰ Therefore, 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,

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

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

³³ Since 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.

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

³⁵ Vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.

³⁶ Therefore, 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.

³⁷ Now 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?

³⁸ Then 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.

³⁹ For 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.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁴ And all that beleeued, were in one place, and had all things common.

⁴⁵ And they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all me, as euery one had need.

²⁶ therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

²⁷ because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, 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 Christ to sit on his throne;

³¹ he seeing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

³² This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

³³ Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

³⁴ For David is not ascended 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 hath made that 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 every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

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 did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

⁴¹ Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

⁴² And they continued stedfastly 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 goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

²⁶ Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue exulted; moreover also, my flesh shall dwell in hope;

²⁷ because thou wilt not abandon my soul to the underworld, nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

²⁸ Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with thy countenance.”

²⁹ Brethren, I may speak to you with freedom of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us to this day.

³⁰ Being then a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath that he would set one sprung from his loins upon his throne,

³¹ he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that neither was he abandoned to the underworld, nor did his flesh see corruption.

³² This Jesus God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

³³ Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye both see and hear.

³⁴ For David did not ascend into the heavens; but he himself saith, The Lord said to my lord, “Sit thou on my right hand,

³⁵ until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”

³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.

³⁷ And when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what must we do?

³⁸ But Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized to the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.

⁴⁰ And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

⁴¹ They therefore received his word, and were baptized; and there were added on that day about three thousand souls.

⁴² And they were constantly attending on the teaching of the apostles, and the imparting of their substance, the breaking of bread, and the prayers.

⁴³ And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were wrought through the apostles.

⁴⁴ And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

⁴⁵ and they sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as any one had need.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; Yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;

²⁷ For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, Nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption.

²⁸ You have shown me the path to life, You will fill me with gladness in your presence.’

²⁹ Friends, I can speak to you the more confidently about the patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here amongst us to this very day.

³⁰ David, then, prophet as he was, knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to set one of his descendants on his throne, looked into the future,

³¹ and referred to the resurrection of the Christ when he said that he had not been abandoned to Hades, nor had his body undergone corruption.

³² It was this Jesus, whom God raised to life; and of that we are ourselves all witnesses.

³³ And now that he has been exalted to the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, he has begun to pour out that gift, as you yourselves now see and hear.

³⁴ It was not David who went up into heaven; for he himself says — ‘The Lord said to my master, “Sit on my right hand,

³⁵ Until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet.”’

³⁶ So let the whole nation of Israel know beyond all doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ — this Jesus whom you crucified.”

³⁷ When the people heard this, they were conscience-smitten, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Friends, what can we do?”

³⁸ “Repent,” answered Peter, “and be baptised every one of you in the faith of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise is for you and for your children, and also for all those now far away, who may be called by the Lord our God.”

⁴⁰ Peter spoke to them for a long time using many other arguments and pleaded with them — “Save yourselves from the perverse spirit of this age.”

⁴¹ So those who accepted his teaching were baptised, and about three thousand people joined the disciples on that day alone.

⁴² They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the Common life of the church, to the breaking of the bread and to the Prayers.

⁴³ A deep impression was made on everyone, and many wonders and signs were done at the hands of the apostles.

⁴⁴ All who became believers in Christ held everything for the common use;

⁴⁵ they sold their property and their goods, and shared the proceeds amongst them all, according to their individual needs.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; Yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;

²⁷ For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, Nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption.

²⁸ You have shown me the path to life, You will fill me with gladness in your presence.’

²⁹ Friends, I can speak to you the more confidently about the patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day.

³⁰ David, then, prophet as he was, knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to set one of his descendants on his throne, looked into the future,

³¹ and referred to the resurrection of the Christ when he said that he had not been abandoned to Hades, nor had his body undergone corruption.

³² It was this Jesus, whom God raised to life; and of that we are ourselves all witnesses.

³³ And now that he has been exalted to the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, he has begun to pour out that gift, as you yourselves now see and hear.

³⁴ It was not David who went up into heaven; for he himself says — ‘The Lord said to my master, “Sit on my right hand,

³⁶ So let the whole nation of Israel know beyond all doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ — this Jesus whom you crucified.”

³⁷ When the people heard this, they were conscience-smitten, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Friends, what can we do?”

³⁸ “Repent,” answered Peter, “and be baptized every one of you in the faith of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise is for you and for your children, and also for all those now far away, who may be called by the Lord our God.”

⁴⁰ Peter spoke to them for a long time using many other arguments and pleaded with them — “Save yourselves from the perverse spirit of this age.”

⁴¹ So those who accepted his teaching were baptized, and about three thousand people joined the disciples on that day alone.

⁴² They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the Common life of the church, to the breaking of the bread and to the Prayers.

⁴³ A deep impression was made on everyone, and many wonders and signs were done at the hands of the apostles.

⁴⁴ All who became believers in Christ held everything for the common use;

⁴⁵ they sold their property and their goods, and shared the proceeds among them all, according to their individual needs.

²⁹ Peter kept on talking. He said, “My friends, I can tell you, for sure, about our grand-father David of long ago. He was not talking about himself. You see, he died and people buried him. His grave is still here, and we can see it today. So we know he didn’t come alive again.

³⁰ But David was one of God’s men, and he wrote God’s messages for people. And God promised David that one day, some time later, a man from David’s own family will become the big boss of his people.

³¹ You see, God told David something that will happen later, so David wrote that message for us. That message was about the man God was going to send, and it tells us that God was going to make him alive again. It tells us God was not going to leave him in the grave or let his body rot away.

³² And now, all of us mob here can tell you that message is all about Jesus. He died, but then God made him alive again, and we all saw him alive again.

³³ Then God took him up into heaven. Now he is sitting right next to God, on God’s right side, and God gave him his power.

³⁴ You see, David didn’t go up into heaven, but Jesus did, so we know David didn’t write those words about himself, but he wrote them about Jesus. And David wrote some more words about Jesus too. He wrote, ‘God told my leader, “Sit with me, on my right side, until I beat all your enemies, and then you can put your feet on them to show that you are their boss.” ’ That’s in God’s book.”

³⁶ Then Peter said, “So, all of us Israel mob have to know this for sure. Yes, you got the soldiers to nail Jesus to a cross and kill him. But God made him alive again, and God made him our boss. Yes, he is the one God promised to send to save us.”

³⁷ All the people heard the things Peter said and they felt really ashamed. So they said to Peter, and to the other close followers of Jesus, “Friends, what can we do?”

³⁸ Peter told them, “You have to turn around and follow Jesus. Then let us baptise you to show that you turned away from the wrong things you are doing, and now you follow Jesus Christ. Then God will not pay you back for those bad things. And he will give you the Holy Spirit to live in you just like he promised. You see, God promised to give the Holy Spirit to everyone that he picks to be his own people. God promised this to you, and to your kids, and even to people in other countries a long way away.”

⁴⁰ And Peter told them a lot more things to be careful about. He kept telling them, “Let God save you so that he will not punish you along with all these crooks that don’t want Jesus.”

⁴¹ Then a lot of people believed the things Peter said. So the close followers of Jesus baptised them. They baptised about 3,000 people that day, and those people joined the other followers of Jesus.

⁴² They all kept meeting together with the Christians and they listened to everything the close followers of Jesus taught them. They were like a big family. They had meals together and remembered that Jesus died for them, and they prayed together to God.

⁴³ God gave power to the close followers of Jesus and they did powerful things. So all the people really respected God.

⁴⁴ The people that believed in Jesus met together and shared all the things they had with each other all the time.

⁴⁵ Some of them sold the things they owned and then gave that money to other people that needed it.

²⁶ Therfore dyd my hert reioyce and my tonge was glad. Moreover also my flesshe shall rest in hope

²⁷ because thou wilt not leve my soul in hell nether wilt suffre thyne holye to se corrupcion.

²⁸ Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe and shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce.

²⁹ Men and brethren let me frely speake vnto you of the partriarke David: For he is both deed and buryed and his sepulcre remayneth with vs vnto this daye.

³⁰ Therfore seinge he was a Prophet and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him that the frute of his loynes shuld sit on his seat (in that Christ shulde ryse agayne in the flesshe)

³¹ he sawe before: and spake in the resurreccion of Christ that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether his flesse shuld se corrupcion.

³² This Iesus hath God raysyd vp wherof we all are witnesses.

³³ Sence now that he by the right honde of God exalted is and hath receaved of the father the promyse of the holy goost he hath sheed forthe that which ye nowe se and heare.

³⁴ For David is not ascendyd into heaven: but he sayde. The Lorde sayde to my Lorde sit on my right honde

³⁵ vntill I make thy fooes thy fote stole.

³⁶ So therfore let all the housse of Israel knowe for a suerty that God hath made the same Iesus whom ye have crucified lorde and Christ.

³⁷ When they hearde this they were pricked in their hertes and sayd vnto Peter and vnto the other Apostles: Ye men and brethren what shall we do?

³⁸ Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of synnes and ye shall receave the gyfte of the holy goost.

³⁹ For the promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldren and to all that are afarre even as many as the Lorde oure God shall call.

⁴⁰ And with many other wordes bare he witnes and exhorted them sayinge: Save youre selves from this vntowarde generacion.

⁴¹ Then they that gladly receaved his preachynge were baptised: and the same daye ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules.

⁴² And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and felloushippe and in breakinge of breed and in prayer.

⁴³ And feare came over every soule. And many wondres and signes were shewed by the Apostles.

⁴⁴ And all that beleved kept them selves to gedder and had all thinges commen

⁴⁵ and solde their possessions and goodes and departed them to all men as every man had nede.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Also, my flesh will live in certain hope.

²⁷ For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

²⁸ You revealed to me the ways of life; you will make me full of gladness with your face.'

²⁹ Brothers, I can speak to you confidently about the patriarch David, he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

³⁰ Therefore, he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him, that he would set one of the fruit of his body upon his throne.

³¹ He saw what was to happen in the future and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, 'He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.'

³² This Jesus—God raised him up, of which we all are witnesses.

³³ Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promised Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out what you see and hear.

³⁴ For David did not ascend to the heaven, but he says, 'The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

³⁵ until I make your enemies the stool for your feet.”'

³⁶ Therefore, let all the house of Israel certainly know that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were pierced in their hearts, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

³⁸ Then Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, as many people as the Lord our God will call.”

⁴⁰ With many other words he testified and urged them; he said, “Save yourselves from this wicked generation.”

⁴¹ Then they received his word and were baptized, and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

⁴² They continued in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in prayers.

⁴³ Fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

⁴⁴ All who believed were together and had all things in common,

⁴⁵ and they sold their property and possessions and distributed them to all, according to the needs anyone had.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,

²⁷ because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

²⁸ You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

²⁹ “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

³⁰ Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,

³¹ he seeing afar spake of the resurrection of Christ, for neither he was left in hell, neither his flesh saw corruption.

³² God raised this Jesus, to whom we all be witnesses.

³³ Therefore he was enhanced by the right hand of God, and through the promise of the Holy Ghost that he took of the Father, he shedded out this Spirit, that ye see and hear.

³⁴ For David ascended not into heaven; but he saith, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right half,

³⁵ till I put thine enemies the stool of thy feet.

³⁶ Therefore most certainly know all the house of Israel, that God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus, whom ye crucified.

³⁷ When they heard these things, they were compunct in heart; and they said to Peter and to other apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

³⁸ And Peter said to them, Do ye penance, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, into remission of your sins; and ye shall take the gift of the Holy Ghost.

³⁹ For the promise or repromission is to you, and to your sons, and to all that be far, whichever or whomever our Lord God hath called.

⁴⁰ Also with other words full many he witnessed to them, and admonished them, and said, Be ye saved from this shrewd or this wicked generation.

⁴¹ Then they that received his word were baptized, and in that day souls were increased, about three thousand;

⁴² and they were lasting stably in the teaching of the apostles, and in communing of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

⁴³ And dread was made to each man. And many wonders and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and great dread was in all.

⁴⁴ And all that believed were together, and had all things common.

⁴⁵ They sold possessions and chattel, or substances, or goods, and parted those things to all men, as it was need to each.

²⁶ For this thing mine heart joyed, and my tongue made full out joy or gladded, and moreover my flesh shall rest in hope.

²⁷ For thou shalt not leave my soul in hell, neither thou shalt give thine Holy (One) to see corruption.

²⁸ Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt full-fill me with mirth with thy face (or thou shalt fill me full of joy by thy presence).

²⁹ Brethren, be it leaveful boldly to say to you of the patriarch David, for he is dead and buried, and his sepulchre is among us into this day. (Brothers, may it be lawful for me to boldly say this to you about the patriarch David, that he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us unto this day.)

³⁰ Therefore when he was a prophet, and knew, that with a great oath God had sworn to him, that of the fruit of his loins should one sit on his seat (or that a man from the fruit of his loins should sit on his throne),

³¹ he seeing afar spake of the resurrection of Christ (or he seeing far ahead spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah), for neither he was left in hell, neither his flesh saw corruption.

³² God raised this Jesus, to whom we all be witnesses.

³³ Therefore he was enhanced by the right hand of God, and through the promise of the Holy Ghost that he took of the Father, he shedded out this Spirit, that ye see and hear. (And so he was exalted, or raised up, by the right hand of God, and through the promise of the Holy Spirit that he received from the Father, he poured out this Spirit, that ye now see and hear.)

³⁴ For David ascended not into heaven; but he saith, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right half, (or Sit on my right side, or at my right hand),

³⁵ till I put thine enemies the stool of thy feet. (until I make thine enemies thy footstool.)

³⁶ Therefore most certainly know all the house of Israel, that God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus, whom ye crucified. (And so let all the house of Israel most certainly know, that God made this Jesus, whom ye crucified, both Lord and Messiah.)

³⁷ When they heard these things, they were compuncted in heart; and they said to Peter and to (the) other apostles, Brethren (or Brothers), what shall we do?

³⁸ And Peter said to them, Do ye penance, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, into remission of your sins; and ye shall take the gift of the Holy Ghost. (And Peter said to them, Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and then ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.)

³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your sons, and to all that be far (off), whichever our Lord God hath called. Forsooth repromission is to you, and to your sons, and to all that be far, whomever the Lord our God hath called to (him).

⁴⁰ Also with other words full many he witnessed to them, and admonished them, and said, Be ye saved from this shrewd or from this wicked generation. (And with a great many other words he testified to them, and admonished them, and said, Save yourselves from this depraved generation.)

⁴¹ Then they that received his word were baptized, and in (or on) that day souls were increased, about three thousand;

⁴² and they were lasting stably in the teaching of the apostles, and in (the) communing of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

⁴³ And dread was made to each man. And many wonders and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and great dread was in all. (And there was fearful reverence in each man. And many wonders and miracles were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and great and fearful reverence was in all.)

⁴⁴ And all that believed were together, and had all things (in) common.

⁴⁵ They sold (their) possessions and chattel, or substances, or goods, and parted those things to all men, as it was need(ful) to each. (They sold their possessions and goods, and divided those things to everyone, as it was needed by each person.)

²⁶ because of this was my heart cheered, and my tongue was glad, and yet — my flesh also shall rest on hope,

²⁷ because Thou wilt not leave my soul to hades, nor wilt Thou give Thy Kind One to see corruption;

²⁸ Thou didst make known to me ways of life, Thou shalt fill me with joy with Thy countenance.

²⁹ 'Men, brethren! it is permitted to speak with freedom unto you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us unto this day;

³⁰ a prophet, therefore, being, and knowing that with an oath God did swear to him, out of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit upon his throne,

³¹ having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again of the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

³² 'This Jesus did God raise up, of which we are all witnesses;

³³ at the right hand then of God having been exalted — also the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father — he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear;

³⁴ for David did not go up to the heavens, and he saith himself: The Lord saith to my lord, Sit thou at my right hand,

³⁵ till I make thy foes thy footstool;

³⁶ assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, that both Lord and Christ did God make him — this Jesus whom ye did crucify.'

³⁷ And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, 'What shall we do, men, brethren?'

³⁸ and Peter said unto them, 'Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,

³⁹ for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.'

⁴⁰ Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, 'Be saved from this perverse generation;'

⁴¹ then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls,

⁴² and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers.

⁴³ And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles,

⁴⁴ and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common,

⁴⁵ and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need.
