John 13

1	Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2	And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
3	Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
4	He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
5	After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6	Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7	Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8	Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9	Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10	Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
11	For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12	So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13	Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14	If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15	For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16	Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
17	If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
18	I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
19	Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
20	Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
21	When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22	Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23	Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24	Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
25	He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
26	Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27	And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28	Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
29	For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
30	He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
31	Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32	If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
33	Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
34	A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35	By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36	Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
37	Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
38	Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

Deuteronomy 17

1	Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavoredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
2	If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
3	And hath gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
4	And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
5	Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
6	At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
7	The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
8	If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
9	And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall show thee the sentence of judgment:
10	And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall show thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:
11	According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall show thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
12	And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
13	And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
14	When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
15	Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
16	But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
17	Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
18	And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
19	And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
20	That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.

Romans 14

1	Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2	For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3	Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4	Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5	One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6	He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7	For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8	For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9	For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10	But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at naught thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11	For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12	So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13	Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14	I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15	But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16	Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17	For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18	For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19	Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
20	For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offense.
21	It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
22	Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
23	And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

1 John 5

1	Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2	By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3	For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4	For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5	Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6	This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7	For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8	And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
9	If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10	He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11	And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12	He that hath the Son hath life: and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13	These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14	And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15	And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16	If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17	All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18	We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19	And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20	And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21	Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Ecclesiastes 4

1	So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
2	Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
3	Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
4	Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
5	The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
6	Better is a handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
7	Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
8	There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
9	Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
10	For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
11	Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
12	And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
13	Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
14	For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.
15	I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
16	There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Psalms 20

1	To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2	Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3	Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4	Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel.
5	We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions.
6	Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7	Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
8	They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9	Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

Proverbs 15

1	A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2	The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3	The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4	A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5	A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6	In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7	The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8	The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9	The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10	Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11	Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12	A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13	A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14	The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15	All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16	Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17	Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18	A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19	The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20	A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21	Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22	Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
23	A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24	The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25	The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26	The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27	He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28	The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29	The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30	The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31	The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
32	He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
33	The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility.

1 Chronicles 19

1	Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
2	And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
3	But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
4	Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.
5	Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
6	And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah.
7	So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8	And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
9	And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
10	Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11	And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12	And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
13	Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.
14	So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
15	And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16	And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
17	And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
18	But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
19	And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.

Ezekiel 47

1	Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
2	Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3	And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
4	Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
5	Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
6	And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7	Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8	Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9	And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
10	And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11	But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12	And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
13	Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
14	And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15	And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
16	Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
17	And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18	And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
19	And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20	The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
21	So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
22	And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23	And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.

Acts 2

1	And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2	And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3	And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4	And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5	And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6	Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7	And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8	And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9	Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10	Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11	Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12	And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13	Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14	But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15	For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16	But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17	And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18	And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19	And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
20	The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21	And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22	Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23	Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24	Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25	For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
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 sepulcher 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 steadfastly 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.
46	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,
47	Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
