Matthew 2

1	Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2	saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3	When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4	And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5	And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6	And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7	Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8	And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9	When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10	When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11	And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12	And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13	And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14	When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15	And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16	Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17	Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18	In Ramah was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19	But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20	saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
21	And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22	But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23	And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

Genesis 2

1	Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2	And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3	And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4	These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5	And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6	But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7	And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8	And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9	And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10	And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11	The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12	And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13	And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14	And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15	And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16	And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17	But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
18	And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.
19	And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20	And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him.
21	And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22	And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23	And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24	Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25	And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Romans 2

1	Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2	But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3	And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4	Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5	But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6	Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7	To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life:
8	But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9	Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10	But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11	For there is no respect of persons with God.
12	For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13	(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14	For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15	Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16	In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17	Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18	And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19	And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20	An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21	Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22	Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23	Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God?
24	For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25	For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26	Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27	And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28	For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29	But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

1 Thessalonians 2

1	For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2	But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
3	For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4	But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
5	For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:
6	Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7	But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8	So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
9	For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10	Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblamably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11	As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
12	That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13	For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
14	For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15	Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16	Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17	But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18	Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19	For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
20	For ye are our glory and joy.

Job 2

1	Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
2	And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
3	And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4	And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
5	But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
6	And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
7	So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8	And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
9	Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
10	But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
11	Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
12	And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
13	So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.

Psalms 2

1	Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2	The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3	Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4	He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5	Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6	Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7	I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8	Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9	Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10	Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11	Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12	Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Proverbs 2

1	My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2	So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3	Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4	If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5	Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6	For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7	He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8	He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9	Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10	When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11	Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12	To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13	Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14	Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15	Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16	To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17	Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18	For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19	None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20	That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21	For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22	But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Joshua 2

1	And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into a harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
2	And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither tonight of the children of Israel to search out the country.
3	And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.
4	And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I knew not whence they were:
5	And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
6	But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
7	And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
8	And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
9	And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
10	For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
11	And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
12	Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:
13	And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
14	And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
15	Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
16	And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
17	And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
18	Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.
19	And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
20	And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
21	And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
22	And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
23	So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them:
24	And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.

Isaiah 2

1	The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2	And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3	And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4	And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5	O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6	Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7	Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
8	Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
9	And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10	Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
11	The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
12	For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13	And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14	And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15	And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16	And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17	And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18	And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19	And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20	In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21	To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22	Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?

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.
