Matthew(i)
14 But Peter stepped forth wyth the eleuen, and lyfte vp his voyce, and sayed vnto them: Ye men of Iewrye, and all ye that inhabite Hierusalem: be thys knowen vnto you, and wyth youre eares heare my wordes.
15 These art not drounke, as ye suppose, for it is yet but the thyrde houre of the day.
16 But thys is that which was spoken by the Prophet Iohel:
17 It shal be in the laste daies saith God, of my spirite: I wil pour out vpon all flesh. And your sonnes and daughters shal prophesie, & your youngmen shal se visions, and your oldmen shall dreame dreames.
18 And on my seruauntes and on my handmaydens, I wyll pour out of my spirite in those dayes, and they shall prophesye.
19 And I wyll shewe wounders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the earth beneth, bloude & fyre, and the vapoure of smoke.
20 The sonne shalbe turned into darckenes, and the mone into bloude, before that greate and notable day of the Lorde come.
21 And it shall be, that whosoeuer shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saued.
22 Ye men of Israel heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth, a man approued of God amonge you wyth miracles, woundres, and signes whiche God dyd by hym in the middes of you, as ye your selues knowe:
23 hym haue ye taken by the handes of vnryghtuous persons after he was delyuered by the determinate counsell and for knowledge of God, and haue crucifyed and slayne:
24 whom God hath raysed vp and lowsed the sorowes of deathe, because it was vnpossible that he shoulde be holden of it.
25 For Dauid speaketh of hym afore hand. I sawe the Lorde alwayes before me: For he is on my ryghte hande, that I shoulde not be moued.
26 Therefore dyd my herte reioice, and my tounge was glad. Moreouer also my fleshe shall reste in hope,
27 because thou wylt not leaue my soule in hel, neyther wylte suffer thine holy, to se corruption.
28 Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe, and shalte make me full of ioye, wt thy countenaunce.
29 Men and brethren, let me frely speake vnto you of the patriarche Dauid: For he is both dead and buryed, and hys sepulchre remaineth wyth vs vnto this daye.
30 Therfore seiyng he was a Prophet, and knew that God had sworne wyth an othe to hym, that the fruyte of hys loynes shoulde sit on hys seat (in that Christ shoulde ryse agayne in the flesh)
31 he sawe before: and spake of the resurreccion of Christ, that hys soule shoulde not be lefte in hell: neyther hys fleshe should se corruption.
32 Thys Iesus hath God raised vp wher of we all are witnesses.
33 Sence nowe that he by the ryght hand of God is exalted, and hath receiued of the father the promyse of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth, that whyche ye now se and heare.
34 For Dauid is not ascended into heauen: but he sayd: The Lord said to my Lord, syt on my ryght hande
35 vntyll I make thy fooes thy fote stole.
36 So therefore let all the house of Israell knowe for a surety, that God hath made the same Iesus whom ye haue crucifyed, bothe Lord and Christe.
37 When they hearde this, they were prycked in their hertes, and sayd vnto Peter and vnto the other Apostles. Ye men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptysed euerye one of you in the name of Iesus Christe for the remission of sinnes, and ye shall receiue the gifte of the holye ghost.
39 For the promyse was made vnto you and to your chyldren, & to all that are a farre, euen as manye as the Lorde oure God shall call.
40 And wyth manye other wordes bare he wytnes and exhorted them saiynge: Saue your selues from thys vntowarde generacion.
41 Then they that gladlye receiued his preachinge, were baptysed, and the same daye there were added vnto them about thre thousande soules.
