And Simon answered and said to him, Master, we have labored all night and taken nothing; but at your word I will let down the net. And doing this he enclosed a great number of fishes; and their net broke.

And Peter began and related to them in order, saying, I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw a vision in a trance, a vessel like a great sheet descending, let down by the four corners from heaven, and it came to me; and looking into it attentively I perceived and saw the quadrupeds of the earth and wild beasts and reptiles and birds of heaven. And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter, kill and eat. And I said, By no means, Lord, for nothing common or impure has ever entered into my mouth. And a voice answered from heaven a second time, What God has purified do not you regard common. And this was done thrice, and again all were taken up to heaven. And behold, immediately three men came to the house in which I was, being sent for me from Caesarea. And the Spirit told me to go with them. And these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the house of the man. And he told us how he had seen the angel in his house standing and saying to him, Send to Joppa and call Simon who is called Peter, who will speak words to you by which you shall be saved and all your house. And when I began to speak the Holy Spirit fell on them as also on us in the beginning. And I remembered the word of the Lord how he said, John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit. If therefore God gave the gift equally to them and to us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I should be able to forbid God? And hearing these things they were silent, and glorified God, saying, Then to the gentiles also has God indeed given the change of mind to life.

And after there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, Men and brothers, you know that in former days God chose among you that the gentiles should hear by my mouth the word of the gospel and believe. And the heart-searching God testified to them, giving to them the Holy Spirit even as to us, and made no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by the faith. read more.

SIMEON Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

and seeing Peter warming himself, looked at him, and said, You also were with Jesus the Nazarene. But he denied it, saying, I do not know [him]; neither do I know what you say. And he went out into the porch, and a cock crew. And the female servant seeing him said to those standing by, This is one of them. read more.
But he again denied it. And after a short time those standing by again said to Peter, You are certainly one of them, for you are also a Galilean. And he cursed and swore, I know not this man of whom you speak.

Then Peter answered and said, Behold we have left all and followed you; what shall we have therefore?

But Peter followed him at a distance, even to the court of the chief priest, and going in sat with the officers to see the end.

But he again denied it. And after a short time those standing by again said to Peter, You are certainly one of them, for you are also a Galilean. And he cursed and swore, I know not this man of whom you speak.

Simon Peter, and Thomas called the Twin, and Nathaniel who was from Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, I am going a fishing. They said to him, We will also go with you. They went out and entered into the ship; and on that night caught nothing, read more.
but when it was now morning Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them, Children, have you any thing to eat? They answered him, No. And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship and you shall find. Then they cast it, and they were not able to draw it from the number of fishes. Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord. Then Simon Peter, hearing that it was the Lord, girded on his coat, for he was naked, and cast himself into the lake. But the other disciples came with the boat, drawing the net of fishes, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits distant. Then when they came to land they saw coals placed, and a fish laid upon [them], and bread. Jesus said to them, Bring of the fish that you have now caught. Simon Peter went and drew the net to the land, full of great fishes a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many the net was not broken. Jesus said to them, Come and breakfast. No one of the disciples dared to ask him, Who are you? for they knew that he was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave them, and the fish likewise. This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he had arisen from the dead. When therefore they had breakfasted, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these? He said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I am a friend to you. He said to him, Feed my lambs. Again he said to him a second time; Simon, son of John, do you love me? He said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I am a friend to you. He said to him, Feed my sheep. He said to him a third time; Simon, son of John, are you a friend to me? Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, Are you a friend to me? and he said to him, Lord you know all things; you know that I am a friend to you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep. I tell you most truly, that when you were young you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you become old, you shall stretch out your hands and another shall bind you and carry you where you would not; but he said this signifying by what death he should glorify God; and having said this, he said to him, Follow me. And Peter turning around saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also reclined at the supper on his breast and said, Lord, who is it that is to betray you? Peter seeing him said to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man [do]? Jesus said to him, If I wish him to continue till I come, what is that to you? follow me. The report then went out among the brothers that this disciple would not die; but Jesus said not to him, He shall not die; but, If I wish him to continue till I come, what is that to you?

Then he came to Simon Peter; he said to him, Lord, do you wash my feet? Jesus answered and said to him, What I do you know not now, but you shall know hereafter. Peter said to him, You shall never by any means wash my feet. He answered him, Unless I wash you you have no part with me. read more.
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head. Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs only that his feet should be washed, but is wholly pure; and you are pure, but not all. For he knew him that was to betray him; therefore, he said, You are not all pure.

And Peter answered and said to him, Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters. And he said, Come. And Peter going down from the ship walked on the waters to go to Jesus. But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink, cried, saying, Lord save me! read more.
and Jesus immediately stretching out his hand, took hold of him and said, Man of little faith, why did you doubt?

And in those days Peter standing up in the midst of the brothers, said??he multitude together was about a hundred and twenty??16 Men and brothers, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who became a guide to them that apprehended Jesus; For he was numbered with us, and obtained the inheritance of this service. This man therefore purchased a field with the price of the wickedness, and falling headlong burst in the middle and all his bowels were poured out; read more.
and this became known to all who lived at Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their language Aceldamach, which is Field of blood. For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his dwelling be desolate and let no one dwell in it, and his superintendency let another take. It is necessary therefore that one of the men who have gone with us all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John till the day on which he was taken up from us, should be made with us a witness of his resurrection.

While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.

And on the next day, as they were pursuing their journey and had come nigh to the city, Peter went upon the house to pray, about the sixth hour. And he was hungry and wished to eat; and while they were preparing a trance came upon him, and he beheld heaven opened, and a certain vessel like a great sheet descending, let down by four corners to the earth, read more.
in which were all the quadrupeds and reptiles of the earth, and birds of heaven. And a voice came to him, Arise, Peter, kill and eat. But Peter said, By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten any thing common and impure. And a voice came to him again, a second time, What God has purified, regard not common. And this was done thrice, and immediately the vessel was taken up to heaven.

And there was at Joppa a certain female disciple called Tabitha, which being interpreted is called, Dorcas; she was full of good works and charities which she bestowed. And in those days she was sick and died; and having washed they put her in an upper room. But Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter was there sent two men to him requesting, Do not delay to come to us. read more.
And Peter arose and came with them; and when he had come they led him into the upper room, and all the widows stood by weeping and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made while she was with them. And Peter putting them all out knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter sat up. And giving her his hand he raised her up, and calling the saints and widows presented her living. And this was known in all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord. And Peter continued many days at Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit; for it had not yet fallen on any of them, only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. read more.
And Simon seeing that the Holy Spirit was given by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, offered them money,

And Simon seeing that the Holy Spirit was given by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, offered them money, saying, Give me this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hand he may receive the Holy Spirit. But Peter said to him, Your money go to perdition with you; because you have thought to purchase the gift of God with money. read more.
You have no part nor inheritance in this work; for your heart is not right before God. Turn your mind therefore from this your wickedness, and pray the Lord if perhaps the thought of your mind may be forgiven you; for I see you are in the gall of bitterness and bond of wickedness. And Simon answered and said, Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have said may come upon me.

And the chief priest arose, and all those with him, being the sect of the Sadducees, and were filled with wrath, and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison. But an angel of the Lord opening the prison doors by night led them out and said, read more.
Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. And hearing this they entered into the temple early in the morning and taught. And the chief priest coming, and those with him, called the Sanhedrim together, and all the eldership of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. But the officers going did not find them in the prison; and returning they reported, saying, The prison found we shut with all safety, and the guards standing before the doors, but opening we found no one within. And when they heard these words, both the priest and the commander of the temple and the chief priests doubted concerning them, what this could mean. But some one came and told them, Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. Then the commander going away with the officers brought them without violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned; and having brought them they placed them before the Sanhedrim. And the chief priest asked them, saying, We charged you strictly not to teach in this name, and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and wish to bring this man's blood on us. And Peter answering, and the apostles, said, It is necessary to obey God rather than man. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you took and hung on a cross; him has God exalted, a Prince and Saviour at his right hand, to give a change of mind to Israel and the forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit which God has given to those that obey him. And when they heard this they were highly offended, and took counsel to kill them. But a certain Pharisee in the Sanhedrim, by the name of Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, in honor with all the people, standing up requested them to put the men out a little while; and he said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you are about to do to these men. For before these days Theudas arose, saying that he was somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, adhered, who was destroyed, and all who obeyed him passed away and came to nothing. After him arose Judas the Galilean, in the days of the census, and drew away people after him; and he was destroyed, and all who obeyed him were dispersed. And now I tell you, abstain from these men, and let them alone; because if this design, or this work, is from men, it will be destroyed; but if it is from God, you cannot destroy them; lest you be found at some time to be fighting against God. And they were persuaded by him, and calling the apostles and scourging them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. They went therefore from the presence of the Sanhedrim, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer shame for the name of [Christ]; and every day in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not teaching and preaching the good news of Christ Jesus.

And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also,??nd it was during the days of unleavened bread,??4 and having seized he put him in prison, committing him to four companies of four soldiers each to guard him, wishing after the passover to bring him before the people. Peter therefore was kept by the guard; but prayer was made incessantly by the church to God for him. And when Herod was about to bring him forward, on that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards kept watch before the door. read more.
And behold, an angel of the Lord came, and a light shone in the building; and striking Peter on the side he awoke him saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said to him, Gird yourself, and tie on your sandals. And he did so. And he said to him, Put your cloak about you, and follow me. And going out he followed him, and knew not that it was real which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision. And passing through the first guard, and the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city, which opened to them of itself, and going out they went forward one street, and immediately the angel left him. And Peter coming to himself said, Now I know that the Lord has really sent his angel and delivered me from the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the Jews. And considering within himself he came to the house of Mary the mother of John called Mark, where a great number were assembled together and praying. And knocking at the door of the gate, a female servant, called Rhoda, came to listen, and knowing the voice of Peter she did not open the gate from joy, but ran in and told that Peter stood before the gate. But they said to her, You are mad. But she asserted strongly that it was so. And they said, It is his angel. But Peter continued knocking; and having opened they saw him, and were astonished. And making signs to them with his hand to be silent, he related how the Lord had conducted him out of the prison, and said, Tell these things to James and the brothers. And going out he departed to another place. And when it was day there was no small stir among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. And Herod seeking and not finding him, examined the guards, and commanded them to be put to death, and going down from Judea to Caesarea remained [there].

And Peter passing through all places, went down also to the saints living at Lydda. And he found there a certain man by the name of AEneas, who had lain on a bed for eight years, and was a paralytic. And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus Christ cures you; arise and make your bed for yourself. And he immediately arose;

But Peter standing up with the eleven lifted up his voice and said to them, Men of Judea, and all who live at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and attend to my words. For these are not drunk as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day [9 A.M.], but this is what was said by the prophet; read more.
In the last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; and upon my male servants and upon my female servants in those days will I pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. And I will show prodigies in heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and a cloud of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and illustrious day of the Lord comes. And whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazoraean, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and prodigies and miracles, which God performed by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves know, this man, delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have affixed to the cross, and killed by the hand of the wicked, him has God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, as it was not possible that he should be held by it. For David says of him, I saw the Lord always before me, he is on my right hand that I should not be moved; therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue was glad, and my flesh, moreover, shall also live in hope; for thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see destruction. Thou hast made me know the ways of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy presence. Men and brothers, let me speak to you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God swore with an oath to him to set a descendant of his on his throne, foreseeing he spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that he was not left in hades neither did his flesh see destruction. This Jesus has God raised up, whose witnesses we all are. Being therefore exalted on the right hand of God, and receiving the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured this out which you both see and hear. For David ascended not to heaven, but he says, The Lord said to my lord, Sit on my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool. Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly, that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ. And hearing [this] they were distressed in mind, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brothers, what shall we do? And Peter said to them, Change your minds, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and your children, and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

And Simon and those with him followed him, and said to him, All men seek you.

And the servants and officers having made a fire because it was cold, stood and warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.

And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, Are you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.

Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have words of eternal life,

And immediately leaving their nets they followed him.

so that they brought the sick into the streets and placed them on little beds and couches, that as Peter passed along even his shadow might overshadow some of them.

And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus Christ cures you; arise and make your bed for yourself. And he immediately arose;

And Peter putting them all out knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter sat up.

And Peter putting them all out knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter sat up.

But Peter standing up with the eleven lifted up his voice and said to them, Men of Judea, and all who live at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and attend to my words.

so that they brought the sick into the streets and placed them on little beds and couches, that as Peter passed along even his shadow might overshadow some of them.

And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite to the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked him privately, Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?

And one Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, and he kept back a part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and bringing a certain part laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart that you should lie to the Holy Spirit, and that you should keep back a part of the price of the land? read more.
Continuing unsold was it not yours, and when it was sold was it not at your disposal? Why did you propose this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down and expired; and great fear was upon all who heard. And the young men arose and laid him out, and having carried him out buried him. And after an interval of about three hours, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. And Peter answered her, Tell me whether you sold the field for so much? And she said, Yes; for so much. And Peter said to her, Why have you agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those that buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out. And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men coming in found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband. And great fear was on all the assembly [church], and on all that heard of these things.

And while they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the commander of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, being displeased because they taught the people and declared by Jesus the resurrection of the dead; and they laid hands on them and put them in prison till the next day; for it was now evening. read more.
But many of those that heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand. And on the next day the rulers, and elders, and scribes assembled at Jerusalem, and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and all that were of the family of the chief priesthood, and placing them in the midst, asked, By what power, or by what name, have you done this? Then Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel, if we are to-day examined concerning the good work done to the sick man, by what means he has been cured, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazoraean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him has this man stood before you sound. This is the stone rejected by you builders, which has become the head of a corner. And there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name given under heaven among men, by which we can be saved. And seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and supposing that they were illiterate and common men, they wondered, and perceived that they had been with Jesus; and seeing the man standing with them cured, they could not dispute it. And commanding them to withdraw from the Sanhedrim, they conferred one with another, saying, What shall we do to these men? for that a notable miracle has been performed by them is manifest to all that live at Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it; but that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them severely, [and charge them] to speak no more to any man in this name. And calling them, they charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge; for we cannot but tell what we have seen and heard. And threatening them still further, they dismissed them, not being able to punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for what was done; for the man was more than forty years old on whom this miracle of the cure was performed. And being dismissed they came to their friends, and related to them what the chief priests and elders said to them.

And taking him by the right hand he raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened,

And Peter remembering, said to him, Rabbi, behold the fig tree which you cursed is dried up.

And Peter said to him, Lord, do you speak this parable to us, or also to all?

Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Till seven times?

And Peter answered and said to him, Explain the parable to us.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? And all denying, Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitudes press upon and throng you, and do you say, Who touched me?

But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goes before you to Galilee; there you shall see him as he said to you.

And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go, prepare for us the passover, that we may eat.

And the apostles at Jerusalem hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John,

They then having fully testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the good news to many villages of the Samaritans.

And when they came, they went up into the upper room where staid Peter and John, and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the [brother] of James.

And Peter putting them all out knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter sat up.

And on the next day, as they were pursuing their journey and had come nigh to the city, Peter went upon the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

And on the next day, as they were pursuing their journey and had come nigh to the city, Peter went upon the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? And all denying, Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitudes press upon and throng you, and do you say, Who touched me?

From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and raised on the third day. And Peter taking hold of him said, rebuking him, Far be it from you, Lord! This shall not be to you. But he turned and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan! You are an offense to me! For you regard not the things of God, but those of men.

And he spoke this word plainly; and Peter taking hold of him, rebuked him.

And Peter turning around saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also reclined at the supper on his breast and said, Lord, who is it that is to betray you? Peter seeing him said to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man [do]? Jesus said to him, If I wish him to continue till I come, what is that to you? follow me.

Peter said to him, You shall never by any means wash my feet. He answered him, Unless I wash you you have no part with me.

And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also,??nd it was during the days of unleavened bread,??4 and having seized he put him in prison, committing him to four companies of four soldiers each to guard him, wishing after the passover to bring him before the people. Peter therefore was kept by the guard; but prayer was made incessantly by the church to God for him. And when Herod was about to bring him forward, on that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards kept watch before the door. read more.
And behold, an angel of the Lord came, and a light shone in the building; and striking Peter on the side he awoke him saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said to him, Gird yourself, and tie on your sandals. And he did so. And he said to him, Put your cloak about you, and follow me. And going out he followed him, and knew not that it was real which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision. And passing through the first guard, and the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city, which opened to them of itself, and going out they went forward one street, and immediately the angel left him. And Peter coming to himself said, Now I know that the Lord has really sent his angel and delivered me from the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the Jews. And considering within himself he came to the house of Mary the mother of John called Mark, where a great number were assembled together and praying. And knocking at the door of the gate, a female servant, called Rhoda, came to listen, and knowing the voice of Peter she did not open the gate from joy, but ran in and told that Peter stood before the gate. But they said to her, You are mad. But she asserted strongly that it was so. And they said, It is his angel. But Peter continued knocking; and having opened they saw him, and were astonished. And making signs to them with his hand to be silent, he related how the Lord had conducted him out of the prison, and said, Tell these things to James and the brothers. And going out he departed to another place. And when it was day there was no small stir among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. And Herod seeking and not finding him, examined the guards, and commanded them to be put to death, and going down from Judea to Caesarea remained [there].

But there were also false prophets among the people, as there shall also be false teachers among you, who shall bring in by stealth destructive heresies, even denying the master that bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction; and many shall follow their lewdness, on account of whom the way of truth shall be reviled,

Peter therefore was kept by the guard; but prayer was made incessantly by the church to God for him. And when Herod was about to bring him forward, on that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards kept watch before the door.

And Peter seeing it answered the people, Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this? or why do you look intently at us as if by our power or piety we had made him walk? The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied before Pilate when he decided to release him; but you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked a murderer to be given you, read more.
but killed the Prince of life, whom God has raised from the dead, whose witnesses we are. And by the faith of his name, his name has made strong this man whom you behold and know, and the faith which is by him has given him this entire soundness before you all. And now, brothers, I know that you did it without knowledge, as did also your rulers; but what God had before declared by the mouth of all the prophets that his Anointed should suffer, he has so accomplished. Change your minds, therefore, and turn yourselves, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and he send to you Jesus Christ before appointed, whom heaven must receive till the times of the restoration of all things of which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since the world began. Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you, of your brothers, like me; him shall you hear in all things which he shall speak to you; and every soul which will not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from the people. And all the prophets, from Samuel and those following him in order, who have spoken, have also announced these days. You are the children of the prophets, and of the promise which God promised to our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. God having raised up his servant has sent him to you first, to bless you by turning each [one of you] from your evil ways.

But Peter standing up with the eleven lifted up his voice and said to them, Men of Judea, and all who live at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and attend to my words. For these are not drunk as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day [9 A.M.], but this is what was said by the prophet; read more.
In the last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; and upon my male servants and upon my female servants in those days will I pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. And I will show prodigies in heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and a cloud of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and illustrious day of the Lord comes. And whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazoraean, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and prodigies and miracles, which God performed by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves know, this man, delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have affixed to the cross, and killed by the hand of the wicked, him has God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, as it was not possible that he should be held by it. For David says of him, I saw the Lord always before me, he is on my right hand that I should not be moved; therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue was glad, and my flesh, moreover, shall also live in hope; for thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see destruction. Thou hast made me know the ways of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy presence. Men and brothers, let me speak to you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God swore with an oath to him to set a descendant of his on his throne, foreseeing he spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that he was not left in hades neither did his flesh see destruction. This Jesus has God raised up, whose witnesses we all are. Being therefore exalted on the right hand of God, and receiving the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured this out which you both see and hear. For David ascended not to heaven, but he says, The Lord said to my lord, Sit on my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool. Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly, that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ. And hearing [this] they were distressed in mind, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brothers, what shall we do? And Peter said to them, Change your minds, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and your children, and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

and Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who said, Before a cock crows you will deny me thrice; and he went out and wept bitterly.

But Peter said to him, Your money go to perdition with you; because you have thought to purchase the gift of God with money.

knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is at hand, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

And on the next day, as they were pursuing their journey and had come nigh to the city, Peter went upon the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

And Simon Peter seeing it fell on his knees to Jesus, saying, Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.

Again he said to him a second time; Simon, son of John, do you love me? He said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I am a friend to you. He said to him, Feed my sheep.

And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons,

Then he began to curse and swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately a cock crew;

And again he denied with an oath, saying, I know not the man.

Then he began to curse and swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately a cock crew;

Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear; and the name of the servant was Malchus.

And behold, one of those with Jesus, stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking the servant of the chief priest cut off his ear.

But Peter sat without in the court; and a female servant came to him, saying, You also were with Jesus the Galilean. But he denied it before all, saying, I know not what you say. And going out into the porch, another [female servant] saw him, and said to those there, This man was also with Jesus the Nazoraean. read more.
And again he denied with an oath, saying, I know not the man. But after a little while those standing by came forward, and said to Peter, Certainly you are also one of them, for your speech makes you manifest. Then he began to curse and swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately a cock crew;

and seeing Peter warming himself, looked at him, and said, You also were with Jesus the Nazarene. But he denied it, saying, I do not know [him]; neither do I know what you say. And he went out into the porch, and a cock crew. And the female servant seeing him said to those standing by, This is one of them. read more.
But he again denied it. And after a short time those standing by again said to Peter, You are certainly one of them, for you are also a Galilean. And he cursed and swore, I know not this man of whom you speak.

And they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and sat down, Peter sat in the midst of them. And a certain female servant seeing him sitting by the light, and looking steadily at him, said, This man also was with him. But he denied him, saying, I do not know him, woman. read more.
And after a little, another seeing him, said, You also are one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. And about an hour intervening, another strongly affirmed, saying, Certainly, this man was also with him; for he is also a Galilean. But Peter said, Man, I know not what you say. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, a cock crew.
