14But Peter, standing up with the
eleven,
lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye
that
dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15For these are not drunken, as ye suppose,
seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16But this is that which was spoken by the
prophet Joel;
17And 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:
18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I
will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and
signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and
the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
21And it shall come to pass, that whosoever
shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22Ye men of
23Him, being delivered by the determinate
counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands
have
crucified and slain:
24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the
pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of
it.
25For 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:
26Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my
tongue
was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life;
thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto
you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his
sepulchre
is with us unto this day.
30Therefore 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;
31He seeing this before spake of the
resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his
flesh
did see corruption.
32This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we
all
are witnesses.
33Therefore 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.
34For David is not ascended into the heavens:
but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right
hand,
35Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36Therefore let all the house of
37Now 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?
38Then 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.
39For 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.
40And with many other words did he testify and
exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41Then they that gladly received his word were
baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three
thousand
souls.
5Then Philip went down to the city of
6And the people with one accord gave heed unto
those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which
he did.
7For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice,
came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with
palsies,
and that were lame, were healed.
8And there was great joy in that city.
9But there was a certain man, called Simon,
which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the
people of
10To whom they all gave heed, from the least
to
the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11And to him they had regard, because that of
long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12But when they believed Philip preaching the
things concerning the
13Then Simon himself believed also: and when
he
was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the
miracles
and signs which were done.
EUNUCH
35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began
at
the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36And as they went on their way, they came
unto
a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth
hinder me
to be baptized?
37And Philip said, If thou believest with all
thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that
Jesus Christ
is the Son of God.
38And he commanded the chariot to stand still:
and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and
he
baptized him.
39And when they were come up out of the water,
the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no
more: and
he went on his way rejoicing.
SAUL
17And Ananias went his way, and entered
into the
house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even
Jesus,
that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that
thou
mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18And immediately there fell from his eyes as
it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was
baptized.
CORNELIUS
34Then Peter opened his mouth, and
said, Of a
truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35But in every nation he that feareth him, and
worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36The word which God sent unto the children of
37That word, I say, ye know, which was
published throughout all Judaea, and began from
38How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the
Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all
that were
oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39And we are witnesses of all things which he
did both in the land of the Jews, and in
40Him God raised up the third day, and shewed
him openly;
41Not to all the people, but unto witnesses
chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he
rose
from the dead.
42And he commanded us to preach unto the
people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be
the Judge
of quick and dead.
43To him give all the prophets witness, that
through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of
sins.
44While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy
Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45And they of the circumcision which believed
were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the
Gentiles also
was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46For they heard them speak with tongues, and
magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47Can any man forbid water, that these should
not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48And he commanded them to be baptized in the
name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
THE JAILER
30And brought them out, and said, Sirs,
what must I
do to be saved?
31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32And they spake unto him the word of the
Lord,
and to all that were in his house.
33And he took them the same hour of the night,
and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
34And when he had brought them into his house,
he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his
house.
13And on the sabbath we went out of the
city by a
river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and
spake unto
the women which resorted thither.
14And a certain woman named
15And when she was baptized, and her
household, she
besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord,
come into
my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
18 “And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”
19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”
20 “Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of
the
world. Amen.”
15 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all
the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature.”
16 “He that believeth and is baptized shall be
saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
PREACHING…
14 “How then shall they call on him in whom
they have
not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not
heard?
and how shall they hear without a preacher?”
FAITH…
6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
8 “Though he were a Son, yet learned he
obedience by
the things which he suffered;”
9 “And being made perfect, he became the
author
of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;”
REPENTANCE…
3 “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent,
ye shall
all likewise perish.”
CONFESSION…
10 “For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
BAPTISM…
SALVATION…
10 “Therefore I endure all things for the
elect's
sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus
with
eternal glory.”
