Christ's charge to Pete".

Yea, Lord; thou knowest that love thee. He saith unto him, Feed i my lambs.

16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that ! love thee, He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.k

17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved 7 because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me ? and he said unto him, Lord, thou m knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee," When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird o thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

19 This spake he, signifying by what death p he should glorify God And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow q me.

20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

21 Peter, seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

22 Jesus saith unto him, if I will that he tarry till I come, r what is that to thee? Follow s thou me.

23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

25 And u there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the v books that should be written Amen.

12 Then q returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath-day's journey.

13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, r and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with thes women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of the names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which t the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide u to them that took Jesus.

17 For hev was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

18 Now w this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let y his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and, z His 3 bishopric let another take.

21 Wherefore of these men a which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

6 Now 1 when this was noised abroad the multitude came together, and were 2 confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

with the Holy Ghost.

15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing i it is but the third hour of the day.

16 But this is that which was k 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 hand-maidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and s they shall prophesy :

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

20 Then 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 o 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 miraclesp and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye g yourselves also know:

23 Him, being r delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye s have taken, and t by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

24 Whom u God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible v that he should be holden of it.

25 For David speaketh w 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.

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 h of Israel know assuredly, that i God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord k and Christ./

Peter preacheth to the people that came to see a lame man restored to his feet, etc.

N

TOW Peter and John went up together into the temple at a the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

2 And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate b of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask aims of them that entered into the temple;

3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked an alms.

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes, upon him, with John, said, Look

on us.

5 And he gave heed unto them expecting to receive something of them.

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In c the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ancle-bones received strength.

8 And he, leaping d up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porche that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power f or holiness we had made this man to walk?

13 The God g of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, h hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him k in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

14 But ye denied the Holy One m and the Just, n and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; 15 And killed the Prince of life,
