John 8

1	Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2	And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3	And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4	They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5	Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6	This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7	So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8	And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9	And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10	When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11	She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12	Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13	The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14	Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15	Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16	And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17	It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18	I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19	Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20	These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21	Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22	Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23	And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24	I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
25	Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26	I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27	They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28	Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29	And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30	As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31	Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32	And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33	They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34	Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35	And the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth ever.
36	If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37	I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38	I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39	They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40	But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41	Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42	Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43	Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44	Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45	And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46	Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47	He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48	Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49	Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and ye do dishonor me.
50	And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51	Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52	Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53	Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54	Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoreth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55	Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56	Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57	Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58	Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59	Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Exodus 17

1	And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
2	Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
3	And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4	And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
5	And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
6	Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7	And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
8	Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9	And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
10	So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11	And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12	But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13	And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14	And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
15	And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi:
16	For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

1 Corinthians 4

1	Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2	Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3	But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
4	For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5	Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
6	And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
7	For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
8	Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9	For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
10	We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honorable, but we are despised.
11	Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place;
12	And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13	Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14	I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15	For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16	Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
17	For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
18	Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
19	But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
20	For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21	What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

Revelation 16

1	And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2	And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshiped his image.
3	And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4	And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5	And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6	For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7	And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8	And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9	And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10	And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11	And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
12	And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13	And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14	For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15	Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16	And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17	And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18	And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19	And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20	And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21	And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Job 6

1	But Job answered and said,
2	Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
3	For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
4	For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
5	Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6	Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7	The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
8	Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9	Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10	Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
11	What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
12	Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
13	Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
14	To him that is afflicted pity should be showed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
15	My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
16	Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
17	What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18	The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
19	The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
20	They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
21	For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
22	Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
23	Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24	Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25	How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
26	Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
27	Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
28	Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
29	Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
30	Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?

Psalms 104

1	Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty.
2	Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3	Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4	Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5	Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever.
6	Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7	At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8	They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
9	Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10	He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11	They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12	By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
13	He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
14	He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15	And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
16	The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
17	Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18	The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19	He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20	Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21	The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
22	The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23	Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labor until the evening.
24	O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25	So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26	There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
27	These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
28	That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
29	Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30	Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31	The glory of the LORD shall endure forever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32	He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33	I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34	My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35	Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

Proverbs 6

1	My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
2	Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3	Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
4	Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5	Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6	Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7	Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8	Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9	How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10	Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11	So shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth, and thy want as an armed man.
12	A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13	He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14	Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15	Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16	These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17	A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18	A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19	A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20	My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21	Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22	When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23	For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24	To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25	Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26	For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
27	Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28	Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29	So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
30	Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31	But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
32	But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
33	A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34	For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35	He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

Joshua 5

1	And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
2	At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
3	And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4	And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5	Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
6	For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land, which the LORD swore unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7	And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
8	And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
9	And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
10	And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
11	And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
12	And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13	And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14	And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
15	And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

Isaiah 4

1	And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
2	In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3	And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4	When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5	And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defense.
6	And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

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.
