1 The first account, O Theophilus, I composed, about all that Jesus began to do and teach,
2 until the day when He was taken up to heaven, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen,

1 And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all together in one place.

1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer.
2 And a man who had been lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they used to set down daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, in order to beg alms of those who were entering the temple.

1 Now as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,
2 being greatly agitated because they were teaching the people and proclaiming ain Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
