This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead.

Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after He had said this, He told him, “Follow Me.”

Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after He had said this, He told him, “Follow Me.”

Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. However, Jesus did not say that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you?”

This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who has written them down. And we know that his testimony is true.

So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”

After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.

“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”

He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”

This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

…to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”

And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.

No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.

Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”

With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”

And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of this fact.

By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.

But in this way God has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.

They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

…then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

…then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’

But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”

When the believers heard this, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them.

In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.

“Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”

“Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”

When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.

“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”

“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”

When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.

At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men confirmed to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will assign this responsibility to them

This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, as well as Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.

…where they presented false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.

For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”

So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God brought him out of that place and into this land where you are now living.

‘But I will punish the nation that enslaves them,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come forth and worship Me in this place.’

At this remark, Moses fled to the land of Midian, where he lived as a foreigner and had two sons.

This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ is the one whom God sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’

They said to Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us! As for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.’

On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were enraged, and they gnashed their teeth at him.

At this they covered their ears, cried out in a loud voice, and rushed together at him.

Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

…and all the people, from the least to the greatest, heeded his words and said, “This man is the divine power called the Great Power.”

“Give me this power as well,” he said, “so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”

The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.

Then Philip began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.

“Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel.

All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”

All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”

When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.

This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.

This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.

Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me

He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.

When they heard this, they had no further objections, and they glorified God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

When news of this reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted through the Spirit that a great famine would sweep across the whole world. (This happened under Claudius.)

This they did, sending their gifts to the elders with Barnabas and Saul.

And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

And when he had realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.

And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”

All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.

From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.

Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.

As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.

For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”

When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.

This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.

But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,

“Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.

And after engaging these men in sharp debate, Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.

So the apostles and elders met to look into this matter.

The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:

‘After this I will return and rebuild the fallen tent of David. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,

…and sent them with this letter: The apostles and the elders, your brothers, To the brothers among the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings.

This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”

She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.

On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
