Acts 1:2

2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.

21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us,

Acts 1:22

22 beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

Acts 1:23

23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.

Acts 3:13

13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go.

Acts 3:15

15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.

Acts 3:16

16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.

Acts 3:18

18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer.

Acts 3:21

21 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.

Acts 3:25

25 And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’

Acts 4:12

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

Acts 4:20

20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

Acts 4:22

Acts 6:10

10 But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.

Acts 10:5

5 Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter.

Acts 10:6

Acts 14:15

11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”

Acts 15:17

17 that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who bear my name, says the Lord, who does these things’ —

Acts 19:25

25 He called them together, along with the workers in related trades, and said: “You know, my friends, that we receive a good income from this business.

Acts 21:24

24 Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law.

Acts 22:4

4 I persecuted the followers of this Way to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison,

Acts 22:5

5 as the high priest and all the Council can themselves testify. I even obtained letters from them to their associates in Damascus, and went there to bring these people as prisoners to Jerusalem to be punished.

Acts 22:8

8 “ ‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. “ ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied.

Acts 23:28

28 I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin.

Acts 23:29

29 I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law, but there was no charge against him that deserved death or imprisonment.

Acts 24:6

6 and even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.By

Acts 24:8

8 examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him.”

Acts 24:11
