Moreouer also my fleshe shall reste in hope, 27 Because thou wylt not leaue my soule in hell, neither wylt thou suffer thyne holy one to see corruption. 28 Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe, thou shalt make me full of ioy with thy countenaunce. 29 Ye men and brethren, let me freely speake vnto you of the patriarke Dauid: For he is both dead and buryed, and his sepulchre remayneth with vs vnto this day. 30 Therfore, seeyng he was a prophete, and knewe that God had sworne with an oth to hym, that Christe, as concernyng the fleshe, should come of the fruite of his loynes, & should syt on his seate: 31 He knowyng this before, spake of the resurrection of Christe, that his soule shoulde not be left in hell, neither his fleshe shoulde see corruption. 32 This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses. 33 Then sence that he by the ryght hande of God was exalted, and hath receaued of the father the promise of the holy ghost, he hath shed foorth this, which ye nowe see, and heare. 34 For Dauid is not ascended into heaue, but he sayeth: The Lorde sayde to my Lorde, syt thou on my ryght, 35 Untill I make thy foes thy footstoole. 36 Therfore, let all the house of Israel know for a suretie, that God hath made that same Iesus, whom ye haue crucified, Lorde and Christe. 37 Nowe when they hearde this, they were pricked in their heartes, and sayde vnto Peter, & vnto the other Apostles: Ye men & brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter sayde vnto them: Repent, and be baptized euery one of you in the name of Iesus Christe, for the remission of sinnes, and ye shall receaue the gyft of the holy ghost. 39 For the promise was made vnto you, and to your chyldren, and to all that are a farre of, euen as many as the Lorde our God shall call. 40 And with many other wordes bare he witnesse, and exhorted them, saying: Saue your selues from this vntowarde generation. 41 Then they that gladly receaued his worde, were baptized: And the same day there were added vnto them, about three thousande soules.
