Luke 14

1	And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2	And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3	And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4	And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
5	And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
6	And they could not answer him again to these things.
7	And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
8	When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him;
9	And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10	But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
11	For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12	Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.
13	But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14	And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15	And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16	Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17	And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18	And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19	And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20	And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21	So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22	And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23	And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24	For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25	And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26	If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27	And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28	For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29	Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30	Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31	Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32	Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth ambassadors, and desireth conditions of peace.
33	So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34	Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35	It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Exodus 8

1	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2	And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
3	And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading troughs:
4	And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
5	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6	And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7	And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8	Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
9	And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
10	And he said, Tomorrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
11	And the frogs shall depart from thee and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
12	And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
13	And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14	And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
15	But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
16	And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
17	And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18	And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
19	Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
20	And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21	Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
22	And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
23	And I will put a division between my people and thy people: tomorrow shall this sign be.
24	And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
25	And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
26	And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
27	We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
28	And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me.
29	And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
30	And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
31	And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
32	And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.

Philippians 1

1	Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
2	Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3	I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4	Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5	For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
6	Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
7	Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
8	For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9	And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10	That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ;
11	Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12	But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
13	So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
14	And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15	Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16	The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17	But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel.
18	What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretense, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19	For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20	According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
21	For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22	But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23	For I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24	Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25	And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
26	That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
27	Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28	And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29	For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30	Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Revelation 15

1	And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
2	And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
3	And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
4	Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
5	And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
6	And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
7	And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth forever and ever.
8	And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

Song of Solomon 4

1	Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
2	Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
3	Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
4	Thy neck is like the tower of David built for an armory, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
5	Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
6	Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7	Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
8	Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9	Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
10	How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
11	Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
12	A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
13	Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
14	Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15	A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
16	Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

Psalms 58

1	To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2	Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3	The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4	Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5	Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6	Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7	Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8	As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9	Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10	The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11	So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

Proverbs 27

1	Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2	Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3	A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
4	Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5	Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6	Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7	The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8	As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9	Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
10	Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.
11	My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12	A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13	Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14	He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15	A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16	Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which betrayeth itself.
17	Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18	Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honored.
19	As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
20	Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21	As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
22	Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23	Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24	For riches are not forever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25	The hay appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26	The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27	And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

1 Samuel 9

1	Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
2	And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
3	And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.
4	And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
5	And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us.
6	And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can show us our way that we should go.
7	Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
8	And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
9	(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was formerly called a Seer.)
10	Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.
11	And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?
12	And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came today to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people today in the high place:
13	As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.
14	And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.
15	Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
16	Tomorrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
17	And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spoke to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
18	Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is.
19	And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me today, and tomorrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.
20	And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house?
21	And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me?
22	And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlor, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons.
23	And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee.
24	And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! set it before thee, and eat: for unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.
25	And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house.
26	And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
27	And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand thou still a while, that I may show thee the word of God.

Isaiah 58

1	Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2	Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3	Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labors.
4	Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5	Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6	Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7	Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8	Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rearward.
9	Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10	And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
11	And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12	And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13	If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14	Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

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.
