Part 4

44:003:010 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.

44:003:011 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

44:003:012 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 or holiness we had made this man to walk?

44:003:013 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

44:003:014 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

44:003:015 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

44:003:016 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

44:003:017 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

44:003:018 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

44:003:019 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

44:003:020 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

44:003:021 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

44:003:022 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

44:003:023 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

44:003:024 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

44:003:025 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

44:003:026 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

44:004:001 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

44:004:002 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

44:004:003 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.

44:004:004 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

44:004:005 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

44:004:006 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

44:004:007 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?

44:004:008 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

44:004:009 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

44:004:010 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

44:004:011 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
