28Thou hast made knownG1107 to meG1473 the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; thou shalt makeG4137 meG1473 fullG4137 of joyG2167 withG3326 thyG4771 countenanceG3588G4383. 29MenG435 and brethrenG80, letG1832 meG3004 freelyG3954 speakG3004 untoG4314 youG4771 ofG4012 the patriarchG3588G3966 DavidG1138, thatG3754 he isG5053 bothG2532 deadG5053 andG2532 buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 sepulchreG3588G3418 isG1510 withG1722 usG1473 untoG891 thisG3778 dayG3588G2250. 30ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, thatG3660 ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3588G3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG3588G5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG3588G2362; 31He seeing thisG4308 before spakeG2980 ofG4012 the resurrectionG3588G386 of ChristG3588G5547, thatG3754 hisG846 soulG3588G5590 wasG2641 notG3756 leftG2641 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 hisG846 fleshG3588G4561 did seeG3708 corruptionG1312. 32ThisG3778 JesusG3588G2424 hathG450 GodG3588G2316 raised upG450, whereofG3739 weG1473 allG3956 areG1510 witnessesG3144. 33ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG3588G2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3588G3962 the promiseG1860 of theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG3778, whichG3739 yeG4771 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191. 34ForG1063 DavidG1138 isG305 notG3756 ascendedG305 intoG1519 the heavensG3588G3772: butG1161 he saithG3004 himselfG846, The LordG3588G2962 saidG3004 untoG3588G2962 myG1473 LordG3588G2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG1473 right handG1188, 35UntilG2193 I makeG5087 thyG4771 foesG2190 thyG4771 footstoolG5286. 36ThereforeG3767 letG1097 allG3956 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 assuredlyG806, thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 hath madeG4160 thatG3778 sameG846 JesusG3588G2424, whomG3739 yeG4771 have crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547. 37
Now whenG1161 they heardG191 this, they were prickedG2660 in their heartG3588G2588, andG5037 saidG3004 untoG4314 PeterG3588G4074 andG2532 to the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, MenG435 and brethrenG80, whatG5101 shall we doG4160? 38ThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, RepentG3340, andG2532 be baptizedG907 every oneG1538 of youG4771 inG1909 the nameG3588G3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 ye shall receiveG2983 the giftG3588G1431 of theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151. 39ForG1063 the promiseG3588G1860 isG1510 unto youG4771, andG2532 toG3588G5043 yourG4771 childrenG3588G5043, andG2532 to allG3956 thatG3588 areG1519 afar offG3117, even as many asG3745 the LordG2962 ourG1473 GodG3588G2316 shall callG4341. 40AndG5037 withG3056 manyG4119 otherG2087 wordsG3056 did he testifyG1263 andG2532 exhortG3870, sayingG3004, Save yourselvesG4982 fromG575 thisG3778 untowardG4646 generationG3588G1074. 41
ThenG3767 theyG907 thatG588 gladlyG780 receivedG588 hisG846 wordG3588G3056 were baptizedG907: andG2532 the sameG1565 dayG3588G2250 there were addedG4369 unto them aboutG5616 three thousandG5153 soulsG5590. 42AndG1161 they continued stedfastlyG4342 inG3588G1322 the apostles’G3588G652 doctrineG3588G1322 andG2532 fellowshipG3588G2842, andG2532 in breakingG3588G2800 of breadG3588G740, andG2532 in prayersG3588G4335. 43AndG1161 fearG5401 came uponG1096 everyG3956 soulG5590: andG5037 manyG4183 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 were doneG1096 byG1223 the apostlesG3588G652. 44AndG1161 allG3956 that believedG4100 wereG1510 togetherG1909, andG2532 hadG2192 all thingsG537 commonG2839; 45AndG2532 sold theirG4097 possessionsG3588G2933 andG2532 goodsG3588G5223, andG2532 partedG1266 themG846 to allG3956 men, asG2530 everyG302 manG5100 hadG2192 needG5532. 46AndG5037 they, continuingG4342 dailyG2596G2250 with one accordG3661 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, andG5037 breakingG2806 breadG740 fromG2596 house to houseG3624, did eat theirG3335 meatG5160 withG1722 gladnessG20 andG2532 singlenessG858 of heartG2588, 47PraisingG134 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 havingG2192 favourG5485 withG4314 allG3650 the peopleG3588G2992. AndG1161 the LordG2962 addedG4369 to the AssemblyG3588G1577 dailyG2250 suchG3588 asG2596 should be savedG4982.
