Part 3

44:002:029 Men 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.

44:002:030 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;

44:002:031 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

44:002:032 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

44:002:033 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.

44:002:034 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

44:002:035 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

44:002:036 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

44:002:037 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?

44:002:038 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.

44:002:039 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.

44:002:040 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

44:002:041 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

44:002:042 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

44:002:043 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

44:002:044 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

44:002:045 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

44:002:046 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,

44:002:047 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

44:003:001 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

44:003:002 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

44:003:003 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

44:003:004 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

44:003:005 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

44:003:006 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

44:003:007 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

44:003:008 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

44:003:009 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
