For the promise ¹  is for you and your children, and for all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

So those who accepted ¹  his message ²  were baptized, and that day about three thousand people ³  were added. ⁴ 

Every day ¹  they continued to gather together by common consent in the temple courts, ²  breaking bread from ³  house to house, sharing their food with glad ⁴  and humble hearts, ⁵ 

This one ¹  heaven must ²  receive until the time all things are restored, ³  which God declared ⁴  from times long ago ⁵  through his holy prophets.

And all the prophets, from Samuel and those who followed him, have spoken about and announced ¹  these days.

But many of those who had listened to ¹  the message ²  believed, and the number of the men ³  came to about five thousand.

if ¹  we are being examined ²  today for a good deed ³  done to a sick man – by what means this man was healed ⁴  –

Yet ¹  they were not able to resist ²  the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.

They brought forward false witnesses who said, “This man does not stop saying things against this holy place ¹  and the law. ²
