Luke 4

1	And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2	Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
3	And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4	And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5	And the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6	And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7	If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8	And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9	And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
10	For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11	And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12	And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13	And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
14	And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
15	And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
16	And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17	And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18	The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19	To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20	And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21	And he began to say unto them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22	And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
23	And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
24	And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country,
25	But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26	But unto none of them was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27	And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28	And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29	And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30	But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
31	And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
32	And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
33	And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
34	saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
35	And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
36	And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
37	And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
38	And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
39	And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
40	Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41	And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
42	And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
43	And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
44	And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

Genesis 39

1	And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither.
2	And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3	And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4	And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5	And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
6	And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favored.
7	And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8	But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
9	There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10	And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11	And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
12	And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
13	And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14	That she called unto the men of her house, and spoke unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
15	And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
16	And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
17	And she spoke unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
18	And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
19	And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
20	And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
21	But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22	And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
23	The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.

Hebrews 5

1	For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2	Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
3	And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
4	And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
5	So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee.
6	As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
7	Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8	Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9	And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10	Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11	Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12	For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13	For every one that useth milk is unskillfull in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14	But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

1 Peter 4

1	Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2	That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
3	For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4	Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5	Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6	For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7	But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
8	And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
9	Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
10	As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11	If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
12	Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13	But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14	If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15	But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
16	Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17	For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18	And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19	Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Job 40

1	Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
2	Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3	Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
4	Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5	Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6	Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7	Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
8	Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9	Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
10	Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11	Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12	Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13	Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
14	Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
15	Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16	Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17	He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18	His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19	He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20	Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21	He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22	The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23	Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24	He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

Psalms 76

1	To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2	In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3	There broke he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4	Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5	The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6	At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7	Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8	Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9	When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
10	Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
11	Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12	He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Proverbs 9

1	Wisdom hath built her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2	She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3	She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4	Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5	Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6	Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7	He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8	Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9	Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10	The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11	For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12	If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
13	A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14	For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15	To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16	Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17	Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18	But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

Ezra 10

1	Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.
2	And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.
3	Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
4	Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.
5	Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they swore.
6	Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.
7	And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
8	And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
9	Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
10	And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
11	Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.
12	Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
13	But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
14	Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.
15	Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
16	And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
17	And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
18	And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19	And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.
20	And of the sons of Immer; Hanani, and Zebadiah.
21	And of the sons of Harim; Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah.
22	And of the sons of Pashur; Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethaneel, Jozabad, and Elasah.
23	Also of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah, (the same is Kelita,) Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.
24	Of the singers also; Eliashib: and of the porters; Shallum, and Telem, and Uri.
25	Moreover of Israel: of the sons of Parosh; Ramiah, and Jeziah, and Malchiah, and Miamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah.
26	And of the sons of Elam; Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Eliah.
27	And of the sons of Zattu; Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza.
28	Of the sons also of Bebai; Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, and Athlai.
29	And of the sons of Bani; Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, and Ramoth.
30	And of the sons of Pahath-moab; Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezaleel, and Binnui, and Manasseh.
31	And of the sons of Harim; Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchiah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,
32	Benjamin, Malluch, and Shemariah.
33	Of the sons of Hashum; Mattenai, Mattathah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, and Shimei.
34	Of the sons of Bani; Maadai, Amram, and Uel,
35	Benaiah, Bedeiah, Chelluh,
36	Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib,
37	Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasau,
38	And Bani, and Binnui, Shimei,
39	And Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah,
40	Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai,
41	Azareel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah,
42	Shallum, Amariah, and Joseph.
43	Of the sons of Nebo; Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jadau, and Joel, Benaiah.
44	All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children.

Habakkuk 2

1	I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2	And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3	For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4	Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5	Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
6	Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7	Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8	Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9	Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10	Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11	For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12	Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!
13	Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labor in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14	For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
15	Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16	Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
17	For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
18	What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19	Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
20	But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

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.
