Jesus

and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man--a murderer--to be granted to you,

and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that is through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all.

and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil;

reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

and He may send Jesus Christ who before hath been preached to you,

`For Moses, indeed, unto the fathers said--A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me; him shall ye hear in all things, as many as he may speak unto you;

`And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word,

in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.'

And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all,
