- When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
- And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.
- Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord God.’
- Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.”
- Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all. - But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
- Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.
- You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
- And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
- And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
- Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
- Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
- For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
- Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near. - Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
- Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.
- Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.
- For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
“Seek Me and live.” - For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
- For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
- If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
- While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
- And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
- Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?
