Bible Reading for November 10

Acts 1
[1] The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began
both to do and teach,
[2] Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy
Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: [3] To
whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible
proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things
pertaining to the kingdom of God:
[4] And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they
should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father,
which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
[5] For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the
Holy Ghost not many days hence.
[6] When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying,
Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? [7] And
he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons,
which the Father hath put in his own power. [8] But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto
me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth. [9] And when he had spoken these things, while
they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
[10] And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold,
two men stood by them in white apparel; [11] Which also said, Ye men of
Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is
taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen
him go into heaven. [12] Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount
called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. [13] And
when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both
Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew,
and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the
brother of James.
[14] These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with
the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. [15] And in
those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the
number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) [16] Men and
brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy
Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide
to them that took Jesus.
[17] For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
[18] Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and
falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed
out. [19] And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as
that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The
field of blood.
[20] For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be
desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another
take. [21] Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time
that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, [22] Beginning from the
baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one
be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
[23] And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed
Justus, and Matthias.
[24] And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all
men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, [25] That he may take part
of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell,
that he might go to his own place. [26] And they gave forth their lots; and
the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Acts 2
[1] And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one
accord in one place.
[2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty
wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. [3] And there
appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of
them.
[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. [5] And there were
dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
[6] Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were
confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
[7] And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold,
are not all these which speak Galilaeans? [8] And how hear we every man in
our own tongue, wherein we were born? [9] Parthians, and Medes, and
Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia,
in Pontus, and Asia, [10] Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the
parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
[11] Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the
wonderful works of God.
[12] And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another,
What meaneth this?
[13] Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. [14] But Peter,
standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye
men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you,
and hearken to my words: [15] For these are not drunken, as ye suppose,
seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
[16] But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; [17] And it
shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my
Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
[18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days
of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: [19] And I will shew wonders in
heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour
of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it
shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall
be saved.
[22] Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved
of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in
the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: [23] Him, being delivered by
the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by
wicked hands have crucified and slain: [24] Whom God hath raised up, having
loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be
holden of it. [25] For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord
always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be
moved: [26] Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad;
moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
[27] Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption.
[28] Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full
of joy with thy countenance.
[29] Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David,
that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this
day. [30] Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an
oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he
would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; [31] He seeing this before
spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell,
neither his flesh did see corruption. [32] This Jesus hath God raised up,
whereof we all are witnesses. [33] Therefore being by the right hand of God
exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost,
he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
[34] For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The
LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, [35] Until I make thy
foes thy footstool. [36] Therefore let all the house of Israel know
assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both
Lord and Christ. [37] Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their
heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and
brethren, what shall we do?
[38] Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive
the gift of the Holy Ghost.
[39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are
afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. [40] And with many
other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this
untoward generation. [41] Then they that gladly received his word were
baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand
souls. [42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and
fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. [43] And fear came
upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
[44] And all that believed were together, and had all things common; [45]
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every
man had need.
[46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking
bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness
of heart,
[47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord
added to the church daily such as should be saved.
