Today, we are reading John 3; Numbers 34; 1 Corinthians 10; 1 Timothy 5; Job 28; Psalms 38; Proverbs 28; 2 Samuel 9; Jeremiah 22; Acts 2.

John 3

1	There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2	The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3	Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4	Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5	Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6	That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7	Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8	The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9	Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10	Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11	Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12	If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13	And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14	And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15	That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16	For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17	For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18	He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19	And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20	For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21	But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22	After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23	And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24	For John was not yet cast into prison.
25	Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26	And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27	John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28	Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29	He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30	He must increase, but I must decrease.
31	He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32	And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33	He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
34	For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35	The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36	He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Numbers 34

1	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2	Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof: )
3	Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outermost coast of the salt sea eastward:
4	And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
5	And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6	And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
7	And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
8	From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
9	And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
10	And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
11	And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
12	And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
13	And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
14	For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
15	The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
17	These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18	And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19	And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20	And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21	Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23	The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29	These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

1 Corinthians 10

1	Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2	And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3	And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4	And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5	But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6	Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7	Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8	Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9	Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10	Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11	Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12	Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13	There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14	Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
15	I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
16	The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17	For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
18	Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19	What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20	But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
21	Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
22	Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23	All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24	Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
25	Whatsoever is sold in the meat market, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
26	For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.
27	If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
28	But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof:
29	Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
30	For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31	Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
32	Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
33	Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

1 Timothy 5

1	Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2	The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
3	Honor widows that are widows indeed.
4	But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
5	Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6	But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7	And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8	But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9	Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
10	Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
11	But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
12	Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
13	And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14	I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15	For some are already turned aside after Satan.
16	If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
17	Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine.
18	For the Scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his reward.
19	Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20	Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
21	I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
22	Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
23	Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
24	Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
25	Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

Job 28

1	Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
2	Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
3	He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
4	The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
5	As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
6	The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
7	There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
8	The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
9	He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
10	He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
11	He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
12	But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
13	Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14	The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15	It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
16	It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17	The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
18	No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19	The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20	Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21	Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22	Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23	God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24	For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
25	To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26	When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27	Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28	And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Psalms 38

1	A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2	For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3	There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4	For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5	My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6	I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7	For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8	I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9	Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10	My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11	My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12	They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
13	But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14	Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15	For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
16	For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17	For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18	For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19	But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20	They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
21	Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
22	Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

Proverbs 28

1	The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
2	For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
3	A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
4	They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5	Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
6	Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7	Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
8	He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9	He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10	Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
11	The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12	When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
13	He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
14	Happy is the man that feareth always: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
15	As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16	The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17	A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18	Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19	He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
20	A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21	To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
22	He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23	He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favor than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24	Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
25	He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
26	He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
27	He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
28	When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

2 Samuel 9

1	And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
2	And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
3	And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
4	And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.
5	Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
6	Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
7	And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely show thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
8	And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
9	Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
10	Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11	Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.
12	And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
13	So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.

Jeremiah 22

1	Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
2	And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
3	Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
4	For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
5	But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
6	For thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.
7	And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
8	And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city?
9	Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them.
10	Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
11	For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
12	But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
13	Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbor's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
14	That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
15	Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
16	He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.
17	But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
18	Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
19	He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20	Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
21	I spoke unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.
22	The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
23	O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
24	As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;
25	And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26	And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bore thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
27	But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
28	Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
29	O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
30	Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.

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.
