44:002:030 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;
44:002:031 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
44:002:032 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
44:002:033 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.
44:002:034 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
44:002:035 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
44:002:036 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
44:002:037 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?
44:002:038 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.
44:002:039 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.
44:002:040 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
44:002:041 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
44:002:042 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
44:002:043 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44:002:044 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
44:002:045 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
44:002:046 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
44:002:047 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
44:003:001 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
44:003:002 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
44:003:003 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
44:003:004 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
44:003:005 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
44:003:006 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
44:003:007 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
44:003:008 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
44:003:009 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
44:003:010 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
44:003:011 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
44:003:012 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
44:003:013 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
44:003:014 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
44:003:015 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
44:003:016 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
44:003:017 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
44:003:018 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
44:003:019 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
44:003:020 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
44:003:021 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
44:003:022 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
44:003:023 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
44:003:024 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
44:003:025 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
44:003:026 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
44:004:001 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
44:004:002 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
44:004:003 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
44:004:004 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
44:004:005 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
44:004:006 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
44:004:007 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
44:004:008 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
44:004:009 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
44:004:010 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
44:004:011 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
44:004:012
