Deut 12 The repeated point that God was going to choose the place of worship seen in this chapter forces us to realise that our worship should be according to God’s plan, not our own.

1. These are the statutes <2706> and judgments <4941>, which ye shall observe <8104>(8799) to do <6213>(8800) in the land <776>, which the LORD <3068> God <430> of thy fathers <1> giveth <5414>(8804) thee to possess <3423>(8800) it, all the days <3117> that ye live <2416> upon the earth <127>.
2. Ye shall utterly <6>(8763) destroy <6>(8762) all the places <4725>, wherein the nations <1471> which <834> ye shall possess <3423>(8802) served <5647>(8804) their gods <430>, upon the high <7311>(8802) mountains <2022>, and upon the hills <1389>, and under every green <7488> tree <6086>:
3. And ye shall overthrow <5422>(8765) their altars <4196>, and break <7665>(8765) their pillars <4676>, and burn <8313>(8799) their groves <842> with fire <784>; and ye shall hew down <1438>(8762) the graven images <6456> of their gods <430>, and destroy <6>(8765) the names <8034> of them out of that place <4725>.
4. Ye shall not do so <6213>(8799) unto the LORD <3068> your God <430>.
5. But unto the place <4725> which the LORD <3068> your God <430> shall choose <977>(8799) out of all your tribes <7626> to put <7760>(8800) his name <8034> there, even unto his habitation <7933> shall ye seek <1875>(8799), and thither thou shalt come <935>(8804):
6. And thither ye shall bring <935>(8689) your burnt offerings <5930>, and your sacrifices <2077>, and your tithes <4643>, and heave offerings <8641> of your hand <3027>, and your vows <5088>, and your freewill offerings <5071>, and the firstlings <1062> of your herds <1241> and of your flocks <6629>:
7. And there ye shall eat <398>(8804) before <6440> the LORD <3068> your God <430>, and ye shall rejoice <8055>(8804) in all that ye put <4916> your hand <3027> unto, ye and your households <1004>, wherein the LORD <3068> thy God <430> hath blessed <1288>(8765) thee.
8. Ye shall not do <6213>(8799) after all the things that we do <6213>(8802) here this day <3117>, every man <376> whatsoever is right <3477> in his own eyes <5869>.
9. For ye are not as yet come <935>(8804) to the rest <4496> and to the inheritance <5159>, which the LORD <3068> your God <430> giveth <5414>(8802) you.
10. But when ye go over <5674>(8804) Jordan <3383>, and dwell <3427>(8804) in the land <776> which the LORD <3068> your God <430> giveth you to inherit <5157>(8688), and when he giveth you rest <5117>(8689) from all your enemies <341>(8802) round about <5439>, so that ye dwell <3427>(8804) in safety <983>;
11. Then there shall be a place <4725> which the LORD <3068> your God <430> shall choose <977>(8799) to cause his name <8034> to dwell <7931>(8763) there; thither shall ye bring <935>(8686) all that I command <6680>(8764) you; your burnt offerings <5930>, and your sacrifices <2077>, your tithes <4643>, and the heave offering <8641> of your hand <3027>, and all your choice <4005> vows <5088> which ye vow <5087>(8799) unto the LORD <3068>:
12. And ye shall rejoice <8055>(8804) before <6440> the LORD <3068> your God <430>, ye, and your sons <1121>, and your daughters <1323>, and your menservants <5650>, and your maidservants <519>, and the Levite <3881> that is within your gates <8179>; forasmuch <3588> as he hath no part <2506> nor inheritance <5159> with you.
13. Take heed <8104>(8734) to thyself that thou offer <5927>(8686) not thy burnt offerings <5930> in every place <4725> that thou seest <7200>(8799):
14. But in the place <4725> which the LORD <3068> shall choose <977>(8799) in one <259> of thy tribes <7626>, there thou shalt offer <5927>(8686) thy burnt offerings <5930>, and there thou shalt do <6213>(8799) all that I command <6680>(8764) thee.
15. Notwithstanding thou mayest kill <2076>(8799) and eat <398>(8804) flesh <1320> in all thy gates <8179>, whatsoever thy soul <5315> lusteth after <185>, according to the blessing <1293> of the LORD <3068> thy God <430> which he hath given <5414>(8804) thee: the unclean <2931> and the clean <2889> may eat <398>(8799) thereof, as of the roebuck <6643>, and as of the hart <354>.
16. Only ye shall not eat <398>(8799) the blood <1818>; ye shall pour <8210>(8799) it upon the earth <776> as water <4325>.
17. Thou mayest <3201>(8799) not eat <398>(8800) within thy gates <8179> the tithe <4643> of thy corn <1715>, or of thy wine <8492>, or of thy oil <3323>, or the firstlings <1062> of thy herds <1241> or of thy flock <6629>, nor any of thy vows <5088> which thou vowest <5087>(8799), nor thy freewill offerings <5071>, or heave offering <8641> of thine hand <3027>:
18. But thou must eat <398>(8799) them before <6440> the LORD <3068> thy God <430> in the place <4725> which the LORD <3068> thy God <430> shall choose <977>(8799), thou, and thy son <1121>, and thy daughter <1323>, and thy manservant <5650>, and thy maidservant <519>, and the Levite <3881> that is within thy gates <8179>: and thou shalt rejoice <8055>(8804) before <6440> the LORD <3068> thy God <430> in all that thou puttest <4916> thine hands <3027> unto.
19. Take heed <8104>(8734) to thyself that thou forsake <5800>(8799) not the Levite <3881> as long as thou livest <3117> upon the earth <127>.
20. When the LORD <3068> thy God <430> shall enlarge <7337>(8686) thy border <1366>, as he hath promised <1696>(8765) thee, and thou shalt say <559>(8804), I will eat <398>(8799) flesh <1320>, because thy soul <5315> longeth <183>(8762) to eat <398>(8800) flesh <1320>; thou mayest eat <398>(8799) flesh <1320>, whatsoever thy soul <5315> lusteth after <185>.
21. If the place <4725> which the LORD <3068> thy God <430> hath chosen <977>(8799) to put <7760>(8800) his name <8034> there be too far <7368>(8799) from thee, then thou shalt kill <2076>(8804) of thy herd <1241> and of thy flock <6629>, which the LORD <3068> hath given <5414>(8804) thee, as I have commanded <6680>(8765) thee, and thou shalt eat <398>(8804) in thy gates <8179> whatsoever thy soul <5315> lusteth after <185>.
22. Even as the roebuck <6643> and the hart <354> is eaten <398>(8735), so thou shalt eat <398>(8799) them: the unclean <2931> and the clean <2889> shall eat <398>(8799) of them alike <3162>.
23. Only be sure <2388>(8798) that thou eat <398>(8800) not the blood <1818>: for the blood <1818> is the life <5315>; and thou mayest not eat <398>(8799) the life <5315> with the flesh <1320>.
24. Thou shalt not eat <398>(8799) it; thou shalt pour <8210>(8799) it upon the earth <776> as water <4325>.
25. Thou shalt not eat <398>(8799) it; that it may go well <3190>(8799) with thee, and with thy children <1121> after <310> thee, when thou shalt do <6213>(8799) that which is right <3477> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>.
26. Only thy holy things <6944> which thou hast, and thy vows <5088>, thou shalt take <5375>(8799), and go <935>(8804) unto the place <4725> which the LORD <3068> shall choose <977>(8799):
27. And thou shalt offer <6213>(8804) thy burnt offerings <5930>, the flesh <1320> and the blood <1818>, upon the altar <4196> of the LORD <3068> thy God <430>: and the blood <1818> of thy sacrifices <2077> shall be poured out <8210>(8735) upon the altar <4196> of the LORD <3068> thy God <430>, and thou shalt eat <398>(8799) the flesh <1320>.
28. Observe <8104>(8798) and hear <8085>(8804) all these words <1697> which I command <6680>(8764) thee, that it may go well <3190>(8799) with thee, and with thy children <1121> after <310> thee for <5704> ever <5769>, when thou doest <6213>(8799) that which is good <2896> and right <3477> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068> thy God <430>.
29. When the LORD <3068> thy God <430> shall cut off <3772>(8686) the nations <1471> from before <6440> thee, whither thou goest <935>(8802) to possess <3423>(8800) them, and thou succeedest <3423>(8804) them, and dwellest <3427>(8804) in their land <776>;
30. Take heed <8104>(8734) to thyself that thou be not snared <5367>(8735) by following <310> them, after <310> that they be destroyed <8045>(8736) from before <6440> thee; and that thou enquire <1875>(8799) not after their gods <430>, saying <559>(8800), How did these nations <1471> serve <5647>(8799) their gods <430>? even so will I do <6213>(8799) likewise <1571>.
31. Thou shalt not do <6213>(8799) so unto the LORD <3068> thy God <430>: for every abomination <8441> to the LORD <3068>, which he hateth <8130>(8804), have they done <6213>(8804) unto their gods <430>; for even their sons <1121> and their daughters <1323> they have burnt <8313>(8799) in the fire <784> to their gods <430>.
32. What thing <1697> soever I command <6680>(8764) you, observe <8104>(8799) to do <6213>(8800) it: thou shalt not add <3254>(8686) thereto, nor diminish <1639>(8799) from it.

1. Keep <8104>(8798) thy foot <7272> when thou goest <3212>(8799) to the house <1004> of God <430>, and be more ready <7138> to hear <8085>(8800), than to give <5414>(8800) the sacrifice <2077> of fools <3684>: for they consider <3045>(8802) not that they do <6213>(8800) evil <7451>.
2. Be not rash <926>(8762) with thy mouth <6310>, and let not thine heart <3820> be hasty <4116>(8762) to utter <3318>(8687) any thing <1697> before <6440> God <430>: for God <430> is in heaven <8064>, and thou upon earth <776>: therefore let thy words <1697> be few <4592>.
3. For a dream <2472> cometh <935>(8802) through the multitude <7230> of business <6045>; and a fool's <3684> voice <6963> is known by multitude <7230> of words <1697>.
4. When thou vowest <5087>(8799) a vow <5088> unto God <430>, defer <309>(8762) not to pay <7999>(8763) it; for he hath no pleasure <2656> in fools <3684>: pay <7999>(8761) that which thou hast vowed <5087>(8799).
5. Better <2896> is it that thou shouldest not vow <5087>(8799), than that thou shouldest vow <5087>(8799) and not pay <7999>(8762).
6. Suffer <5414>(8799) not thy mouth <6310> to cause thy flesh <1320> to sin <2398>(8687); neither say <559>(8799) thou before <6440> the angel <4397>, that it was an error <7684>: wherefore should God <430> be angry <7107>(8799) at thy voice <6963>, and destroy <2254>(8765) the work <4639> of thine hands <3027>?
7. For in the multitude <7230> of dreams <2472> and many <7235>(8687) words <1697> there are also divers vanities <1892>: but fear <3372>(8798) thou God <430>.
8. If thou seest <7200>(8799) the oppression <6233> of the poor <7326>(8802), and violent <1499> perverting of judgment <4941> and justice <6664> in a province <4082>, marvel <8539>(8799) not at the matter <2656>: for he that is higher <1364> than the highest <1364> regardeth <8104>(8802); and there be higher <1364> than they <5921>.
9. Moreover the profit <3504> of the earth <776> is for all: the king <4428> himself is served <5647>(8738) by the field <7704>.
10. He that loveth <157>(8802) silver <3701> shall not be satisfied <7646>(8799) with silver <3701>; nor he that loveth <157>(8802) abundance <1995> with increase <8393>: this is also vanity <1892>.
11. When goods <2896> increase <7235>(8800), they are increased <7231>(8804) that eat <398>(8802) them: and what good <3788> is there to the owners <1167> thereof, saving <518> the beholding <7207>(8675) <7212>(8801) of them with their eyes <5869>?
12. The sleep <8142> of a labouring man <5647>(8802) is sweet <4966>, whether he eat <398>(8799) little <4592> or much <7235>(8687): but the abundance <7647> of the rich <6223> will not suffer <3240>(8688) him to sleep <3462>(8800).
13. There is <3426> a sore <2470>(8802) evil <7451> which I have seen <7200>(8804) under the sun <8121>, namely, riches <6239> kept <8104>(8803) for the owners <1167> thereof to their hurt <7451>.
14. But those riches <6239> perish <6>(8804) by evil <7451> travail <6045>: and he begetteth <3205>(8689) a son <1121>, and there is nothing <3972> in his hand <3027>.
15. As he came forth <3318>(8804) of his mother's <517> womb <990>, naked <6174> shall he return <7725>(8799) to go <3212>(8800) as he came <935>(8804), and shall take <5375>(8799) nothing <3972> of his labour <5999>, which he may carry away <3212>(8686) in his hand <3027>.
16. And this <2090> also is a sore <2470>(8802) evil <7451>, that in all points <5980> as he came <935>(8804), so shall he go <3212>(8799): and what profit <3504> hath he that hath laboured <5998>(8799) for the wind <7307>?
17. All his days <3117> also he eateth <398>(8799) in darkness <2822>, and he hath much <7235>(8687) sorrow <3707>(8804) and wrath <7110> with his sickness <2483>.
18. Behold that which I have seen <7200>(8804): it is good <2896> and comely <3303> for one to eat <398>(8800) and to drink <8354>(8800), and to enjoy <7200>(8800) the good <2896> of all his labour <5999> that he taketh <5998>(8799) under the sun <8121> all <4557> the days <3117> of his life <2416>, which God <430> giveth <5414>(8804) him: for it is his portion <2506>.
19. Every man <120> also to whom God <430> hath given <5414>(8804) riches <6239> and wealth <5233>, and hath given him power <7980>(8689) to eat <398>(8800) thereof, and to take <5375>(8800) his portion <2506>, and to rejoice <8055>(8800) in his labour <5999>; this <2090> is the gift <4991> of God <430>.
20. For he shall not much <7235>(8687) remember <2142>(8799) the days <3117> of his life <2416>; because God <430> answereth <6031>(8688) him in the joy <8057> of his heart <3820>.
Notes that are not verse specific
The giving of the Holy Spirit echoes an aspect of Luke's gospel record. The opening of Luke has a powerful outpouring of inspired words with the words of Zacharias, Mary, Simeon and Anna. This is matched with the giving of the Holy Spirit to the apostles.

DEVOTED LIVES
Three thousand new believers, determined to start a new life in Christ, were baptised. The decision to make a change in your way of life is easy - it is carrying it through that can be difficult. So these new believers devoted themselves to four things to help them concentrate on living the new life.
-
They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching. This meant a new set of beliefs, new principles to be guided by, to teach, discuss and to think about. It was a positive base for their new life.
-
They devoted themselves to the fellowship. They realised that to be successful they needed the support of like minded believers to encourage them and help them in the way.
-
They devoted themselves to the breaking of bread. This was the way Jesus said he wanted to be remembered. "Do this in remembrance of me," he said. Regular meeting for breaking bread keeps our focus on Christ.
-
And they devoted themselves to prayer. Without the help of God we will flounder. Prayer also keeps us focused and gives us strength.
If we, like the early believers, devote ourselves to these four things, it will greatly help us in our life in Christ.

1. And <2532> when <1722> the day <2250> of Pentecost <4005> was fully come <4845>(5745), they were <2258>(5713) all <537> with one accord <3661> in <1909> one place <846>.
2. And <2532> suddenly <869> there came <1096>(5633) a sound <2279> from <1537> heaven <3772> as <5618> of a rushing <5342>(5730) mighty <972> wind <4157>, and <2532> it filled <4137>(5656) all <3650> the house <3624> where <3757> they were <2258>(5713) sitting <2521>(5740).
3. And <2532> there appeared <3700>(5681) unto them <846> cloven <1266>(5730) tongues <1100> like as <5616> of fire <4442>, and <5037> it sat <2523>(5656) upon <1909> each <1538> <1520> of them <846>.
4. And <2532> they were <4130> <0> all <537> filled <4130>(5681) with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, and <2532> began <756>(5662) to speak with <2980>(5721) other <2087> tongues <1100>, as <2531> the Spirit <4151> gave <1325>(5707) them <846> utterance <669>(5738).
5. And <1161> there were <2258>(5713) dwelling <2730>(5723) at <1722> Jerusalem <2419> Jews <2453>, devout <2126> men <435>, out of <575> every <3956> nation <1484> under <5259> heaven <3772>.
6. Now <1161> when this <5026> was <1096>(5637) noised abroad <5456>, the multitude <4128> came together <4905>(5627), and <2532> were confounded <4797>(5681), because <3754> that every <1538> man <1520> heard <191>(5707) them <846> speak <2980>(5723) in his own <2398> language <1258>.
7. And <1161> they were <1839> <0> all <3956> amazed <1839>(5710) and <2532> marvelled <2296>(5707), saying <3004>(5723) one to another <4314> <240>, Behold <2400>(5628), are <1526>(5748) not <3756> all <3956> these <3778> which <3588> speak <2980>(5723) Galilaeans <1057>?
8. And <2532> how <4459> hear <191>(5719) we <2249> every <1538> man in our <2257> own <2398> tongue <1258>, wherein <1722> <3739> we were born <1080>(5681)?
9. Parthians <3934>, and <2532> Medes <3370>, and <2532> Elamites <1639>, and <2532> the dwellers <2730>(5723) in Mesopotamia <3318>, and <5037> in Judaea <2449>, and <2532> Cappadocia <2587>, in Pontus <4195>, and <2532> Asia <773>,
10. <5037> Phrygia <5435>, and <5037> <2532> Pamphylia <3828>, in Egypt <125>, and <2532> in the parts <3313> of Libya <3033> about <2596> Cyrene <2957>, and <2532> strangers <1927>(5723) of Rome <4514>, <5037> Jews <2453> and <5037> <2532> proselytes <4339>,
11. Cretes <2912> and <2532> Arabians <690>, we do hear <191>(5719) them <846> speak <2980>(5723) in our <2251> tongues <1100> the wonderful works <3167> of God <2316>.
12. And <1161> they were <1839> <0> all <3956> amazed <1839>(5710), and <2532> were in doubt <1280>(5707), saying <3004>(5723) one <243> to <4314> another <243>, What <5101> meaneth <2309>(5722) <302> <1511>(5750) this <5124>?
13. <1161> Others <2087> mocking <5512>(5723) said <3004>(5707), <3754> These men are <1526>(5748) full <3325>(5772) of new wine <1098>.
14. But <1161> Peter <4074>, standing up <2476>(5685) with <4862> the eleven <1733>, lifted up <1869>(5656) his <848> voice <5456>, and <2532> said <669>(5662) unto them <846>, Ye men <435> of Judaea <2453>, and <2532> all <537> ye that dwell <2730>(5723) at Jerusalem <2419>, be <2077>(5749) this <5124> known <1110> unto you <5213>, and <2532> hearken <1801>(5663) to my <3450> words <4487>:
15. For <1063> these <3778> are <3184> <0> not <3756> drunken <3184>(5719), as <5613> ye <5210> suppose <5274>(5719), seeing <1063> it is <2076>(5748) but the third <5154> hour <5610> of the day <2250>.
16. But <235> this <5124> is <2076>(5748) that which was spoken <2046>(5772) by <1223> the prophet <4396> Joel <2493>;
17. And <2532> it shall come to pass <2071>(5704) in <1722> the last <2078> days <2250>, saith <3004>(5719) God <2316>, I will pour out <1632>(5692) of <575> my <3450> Spirit <4151> upon <1909> all <3956> flesh <4561>: and <2532> your <5216> sons <5207> and <2532> your <5216> daughters <2364> shall prophesy <4395>(5692), and <2532> your <5216> young men <3495> shall see <3700>(5695) visions <3706>, and <2532> your <5216> old men <4245> shall dream <1798> dreams <1797>(5701):
18. And <2532> <1065> on <1909> my <3450> servants <1401> and <2532> on <1909> my <3450> handmaidens <1399> I will pour out <1632>(5692) in <1722> those <1565> days <2250> of <575> my <3450> Spirit <4151>; and <2532> they shall prophesy <4395>(5692):
19. And <2532> I will shew <1325>(5692) wonders <5059> in <1722> heaven <3772> above <507>, and <2532> signs <4592> in <1909> the earth <1093> beneath <2736>; blood <129>, and <2532> fire <4442>, and <2532> vapour <822> of smoke <2586>:
20. The sun <2246> shall be turned <3344>(5691) into <1519> darkness <4655>, and <2532> the moon <4582> into <1519> blood <129>, before <2228> <4250> that great <3173> and <2532> notable <2016> day <2250> of the Lord <2962> come <2064>(5629):
21. And <2532> it shall come to pass <2071>(5704), that whosoever <3739> <3956> <302> shall call on <1941>(5672) the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> shall be saved <4982>(5701).
22. Ye men <435> of Israel <2475>, hear <191>(5657) these <5128> words <3056>; Jesus <2424> of Nazareth <3480>, a man <435> approved <584>(5772) of <575> God <2316> among <1519> you <5209> by miracles <1411> and <2532> wonders <5059> and <2532> signs <4592>, which <3739> God <2316> did <4160>(5656) by <1223> him <846> in <1722> the midst <3319> of you <5216>, as <2531> ye yourselves <846> also <2532> know <1492>(5758):
23. Him <5126>, being delivered <1560> by the determinate <3724>(5772) counsel <1012> and <2532> foreknowledge <4268> of God <2316>, ye have taken <2983>(5631), and by <1223> wicked <459> hands <5495> have crucified <4362>(5660) and slain <337>(5627):
24. Whom <3739> God <2316> hath raised up <450>(5656), having loosed <3089>(5660) the pains <5604> of death <2288>: because <2530> it was <2258>(5713) not <3756> possible <1415> that he <846> should be holden <2902>(5745) of <5259> it <846>.
25. For <1063> David <1138> speaketh <3004>(5719) concerning <1519> him <846>, I foresaw <4308>(5710) the Lord <2962> always <1223> <3956> before <1799> my <3450> face, for <3754> he is <2076>(5748) on <1537> my <3450> right hand <1188>, that <2443> I should <4531> <0> not <3363> be moved <4531>(5686):
26. Therefore <1223> <5124> did <2165> <0> my <3450> heart <2588> rejoice <2165>(5681), and <2532> my <3450> tongue <1100> was glad <21>(5662); moreover <1161> <2089> also <2532> my <3450> flesh <4561> shall rest <2681>(5692) in <1909> hope <1680>:
27. Because <3754> thou wilt <1459> <0> not <3756> leave <1459>(5692) my <3450> soul <5590> in <1519> hell <86>, neither <3761> wilt thou suffer <1325>(5692) thine <4675> Holy One <3741> to see <1492>(5629) corruption <1312>.
28. Thou hast made known <1107>(5656) to me <3427> the ways <3598> of life <2222>; thou shalt make <4137> <0> me <3165> full <4137>(5692) of joy <2167> with <3326> thy <4675> countenance <4383>.
29. Men <435> and brethren <80>, let <2036> <0> me <1832>(5752) freely <3326> <3954> speak <2036>(5629) unto <4314> you <5209> of <4012> the patriarch <3966> David <1138>, that <3754> he is <5053> <0> both <2532> dead <5053>(5656) and <2532> buried <2290>(5648), and <2532> his <846> sepulchre <3418> is <2076>(5748) with <1722> us <2254> unto <891> this <5026> day <2250>.
30. Therefore <3767> being <5225>(5723) a prophet <4396>, and <2532> knowing <1492>(5761) that <3754> God <2316> had sworn <3660>(5656) with an oath <3727> to him <846>, that of <1537> the fruit <2590> of his <846> loins <3751>, according to <2596> the flesh <4561>, he would raise up <450>(5693) Christ <5547> to sit <2523>(5658) on <1909> his <846> throne <2362>;
31. He seeing this before <4275>(5631) spake <2980>(5656) of <4012> the resurrection <386> of Christ <5547>, that <3754> his <846> soul <5590> was <2641> <0> not <3756> left <2641>(5681) in <1519> hell <86>, neither <3761> his <846> flesh <4561> did see <1492>(5627) corruption <1312>.
32. This <5126> Jesus <2424> hath <450> <0> God <2316> raised up <450>(5656), whereof <3739> we <2249> all <3956> are <2070>(5748) witnesses <3144>.
33. Therefore <3767> being <5312> <0> by the right hand <1188> of God <2316> exalted <5312>(5685), and <5037> having received <2983>(5631) of <3844> the Father <3962> the promise <1860> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, he hath shed forth <1632>(5656) this <5124>, which <3739> ye <5210> now <3568> see <991>(5719) and <2532> hear <191>(5719).
34. For <1063> David <1138> is not <3756> ascended <305>(5627) into <1519> the heavens <3772>: but <1161> he saith <3004>(5719) himself <846>, The LORD <2962> said <2036>(5627) unto my <3450> Lord <2962>, Sit thou <2521>(5737) on <1537> my <3450> right hand <1188>,
35. Until <2193> I make <302> <5087>(5632) thy <4675> foes <2190> thy <4675> footstool <4228> <5286>.
36. Therefore <3767> let <1097> <0> all <3956> the house <3624> of Israel <2474> know <1097>(5720) assuredly <806>, that <3754> God <2316> hath made <4160>(5656) that same <5126> Jesus <2424>, whom <3739> ye <5210> have crucified <4717>(5656), both <2532> Lord <2962> and <2532> Christ <5547>.
37. Now <1161> when they heard <191>(5660) this, they were pricked <2660>(5648) in their heart <2588>, and <5037> said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> Peter <4074> and <2532> to the rest <3062> of the apostles <652>, Men <435> and brethren <80>, what <5101> shall we do <4160>(5692)?
38. Then <1161> Peter <4074> said <5346>(5713) unto <4314> them <846>, Repent <3340>(5657), and <2532> be baptized <907>(5682) every one <1538> of you <5216> in <1909> the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for <1519> the remission <859> of sins <266>, and <2532> ye shall receive <2983>(5695) the gift <1431> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.
39. For <1063> the promise <1860> is <2076>(5748) unto you <5213>, and <2532> to your <5216> children <5043>, and <2532> to all <3956> that are afar off <1519> <3112>, even as many as <3745> the Lord <2962> our <2257> God <2316> shall call <302> <4341>(5667).
40. And <5037> with many <4119> other <2087> words <3056> did he testify <1263>(5711) and <2532> exhort <3870>(5707), saying <3004>(5723), Save yourselves <4982>(5682) from <575> this <5026> untoward <4646> generation <1074>.
41. Then <3303> <3767> they that gladly <780> received <588>(5666) his <846> word <3056> were baptized <907>(5681): and <2532> the same <1565> day <2250> there were added <4369>(5681) unto them about <5616> three thousand <5153> souls <5590>.
42. And <1161> they continued <2258>(5713) stedfastly <4342>(5723) in the apostles <652>' doctrine <1322> and <2532> fellowship <2842>, and <2532> in breaking <2800> of bread <740>, and <2532> in prayers <4335>.
43. And <1161> fear <5401> came upon <1096>(5633) every <3956> soul <5590>: and <5037> many <4183> wonders <5059> and <2532> signs <4592> were done <1096>(5711) by <1223> the apostles <652>.
44. And <1161> all <3956> that believed <4100>(5723) were <2258>(5713) together <1909> <846>, and <2532> had <2192>(5707) all things <537> common <2839>;
45. And <2532> sold <4097>(5707) their possessions <2933> and <2532> goods <5223>, and <2532> parted <1266>(5707) them <846> to all <3956> men, as <2530> every man <5100> had <302> <2192>(5707) need <5532>.
46. And <5037> they, continuing <4342>(5723) daily <2596> <2250> with one accord <3661> in <1722> the temple <2411>, and <5037> breaking <2806>(5723) bread <740> from <2596> house to house <3624>, did eat <3335>(5707) their meat <5160> with <1722> gladness <20> and <2532> singleness <858> of heart <2588>,
47. Praising <134>(5723) God <2316>, and <2532> having <2192>(5723) favour <5485> with <4314> all <3650> the people <2992>. And <1161> the Lord <2962> added <4369>(5707) to the church <1577> daily <2596> <2250> such as should be saved <4982>(5746).
