⁵And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

⁶But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

⁷And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

⁸And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

⁹And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

⁹And as I may so say, Leui also who receiueth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

¹⁰For hee was yet in the loynes of his Father when Melchisedec met him.

²⁶Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

²⁷For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

²⁸And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

²⁹And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

³⁰But God raised him from the dead:

³¹And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

³²And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

³³God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

³⁴And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

³⁵Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

³⁶For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

³⁷But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

³⁸¶ Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

³⁹And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

²⁶Men and brethren, children of the stocke of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the word of this saluation sent.

²⁷For they that dwell at Hierusalem, & their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the Prophets which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.

^28*And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slaine.

²⁹And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and layd him in a Sepulchre.

^30*But God raised him frō the dead:

³¹And he was seene many dayes of them which came vp with him from Galilee to Hierusalem, who are his witnesses vnto the people.

³²And we declare vnto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made vnto the fathers,

³³God hath fulfilled the same vnto vs their children, in that he hath raised vp Iesus againe, as it is also written in the ^*second Psalme: Thou art my Sonne, this day haue I begotten thee.

³⁴And as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, now no more to returne to corruption, he said on this wise, ^*I will giue you the sure ^†mercies of Dauid.

³⁵Wherfore he saith also in another Psalme, ^*Thou shalt not suffer thine holy one to see corruption.

³⁶For Dauid after he had serued his ^‖owne generation by the will of God, ^*fell on sleepe, and was laide vnto his fathers, and saw corruption:

³⁷But hee whom God raised againe, saw no corruption.

³⁸¶ Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.

³⁹And by him all y ^t beleeue, are iustified from all things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses.

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 that 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 Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

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 Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

^16*But this is that which was spoken by the Prophet Ioel,

¹⁷And it shall come to passe in the last dayes (saith God) I will powre out of my Spirit vpon all flesh: and your sonnes and your daughters shall prophesie, and your yong men shall see visions, and your old men shall dreame dreames:

¹⁸And on my seruants, and on my handmaidens, I will powre out in those daies of my Spirit, and they shall prophesie:

¹⁹And I wil shew wonders in heauen aboue, and signes in the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke.

^20*The Sunne shall be turned into darkenesse, and the Moone into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come.

^21*And it shall come to passe, that whosoeuer shall call on the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued.

²²Yee men of Israel, heare these words, Iesus of Nazareth, a man approued of God among you, by miracles, wonders, and signes, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yee your selues also know:

²³Him, being deliuered by the determinate counsell and foreknowledge of God, yee haue taken, and by wicked hands, haue crucified, and slaine:

²⁴Whom God hath raised vp, hauing loosed the paines of death: because it was not possible that hee should be holden of it.

²⁵For Dauid speaketh concerning him, ^*I foresaw the Lord alwayes before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moued.

²⁶Therefore did my heart reioyce, and my tongue was glad: Moreouer also, my flesh shall rest in hope,

²⁷Because thou wilt not leaue my soule in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.

²⁸Thou hast made knowen to mee the wayes of life, thou shalt make mee full of ioy with thy countenance.

²⁹Men and brethren, ^‖let me freely speake vnto you ^*of the Patriarch Dauid, that he is both dead & buried, and his sepulchre is with vs vnto this day:

³⁰Therefore being a Prophet, ^*and knowing that God had sworne with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loines, according to the flesh, hee would raise vp Christ, to sit on his throne:

³¹He seeing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, ^*that his soule was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

³²This Iesus hath God raised vp, whereof we all are witnesses.

³³Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and hauing receiued of the Father the promise of the holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and heare.

³⁴For Dauid is not ascended into the heauens, but he saith himselfe, ^*The Lord said vnto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

³⁵Untill I make thy foes thy footstoole.

³⁶Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Iesus, whom ye haue crucified, both Lord and Christ.

²²For 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.

²³And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

²⁴Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

²⁵Ye 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.

²⁶Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

^22*For Moses truely said vnto the fathers, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise vp vnto you of your brethren, like vnto me; him shall yee heare in all things whatsoeuer he shal say vnto you.

²³And it shall come to passe, that euery soule which will not heare that Prophet, shalbe destroyed from among the people.

²⁴Yea and all the Prophets from Samuel, and those that follow after, as many as haue spoken, haue likewise foretold of these dayes.

²⁵Yee are the children of the Prophets, and of the couenant which God made with our fathers, ^*saying vnto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kinreds of the earth be blessed.

²⁶Unto you first, God hauing raised vp his Sonne Iesus, sent him to blesse you, in turning away euery one of you from his iniquities.

⁹For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

⁹For as yet they knew not the Scripture, that hee must rise againe from the dead.

²⁶Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

²⁷And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁶Ought not Christ to haue suffered these things, and to enter into his glorie?

²⁷And beginning at Moses, and all the Prophets, hee expounded vnto them in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himselfe.

⁴⁴And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

⁴⁴And hee said vnto them, These are the words which I spake vnto you, while I was yet with you, y ^t all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, & in the Prophets, and in the Psalmes concerning me.

¹²Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

¹²Therefore many of them beleeued: also of honourable women which were Greekes, and of men not a few.

⁴³Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴³Now when the Congregation was broken vp, many of the Iewes, and religious Proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, perswaded them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

⁴But the multitude of the city was diuided: and part held with the Iewes, and part with the Apostles.

⁵And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.

⁵And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gaue their owne selues to the Lord, and vnto vs, by the will of God.

⁵⁰But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

⁵⁰But the Iewes stirred vp the deuout and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

²²Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:

²²Then pleased it the Apostles and Elders with the whole Church, to send chosen men of their owne company to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas: namely, Iudas surnamed Barsabas, & Silas, chiefe men among the brethren,

²⁴And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

²⁴And some beleeued the things which were spoken, and some beleeued not.

¹⁷Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

¹⁸And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

^17*Wherefore come out from among them, and bee yee separate, saieth the Lord, and touch not the vncleane thing, and I will receiue you,

^18*And will bee a Father vnto you, and ye shall bee my sonnes and daughters, saith the Lord Almightie.

¹¶ And it came to passe in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Iewes, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Iewes, and also of the Greekes, beleeued.

²⁷We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

²⁷Wee haue sent therefore Iudas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

³²And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

³²And Iudas and Silas, being Prophets also themselues, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them:

⁴⁰And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

³Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

³Him would Paul haue to go forth with him, and tooke, and circumcised him, because of the Iewes which were in those quarters: for they knew all, that his father was a Greeke.

¹⁷Therefore disputed he in the Synagogue with the Iewes, and with the deuout persons, and in the market dayly with them that met with him.

³⁴Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
