Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the Word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

But I saw none of the other apostles except Jacob, the Lord's brother.

Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

Then Peter opened his mouth and said: In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.

The Word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all);

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

And when they had come and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they brought great joy to all the brethren.

The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to Him shall be the cleansing of the peoples.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Jehovah; and all the families of the nations shall bow down before You.

Oh, sing unto Jehovah a new song! Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Jehovah made the heavens.

Ascribe unto Jehovah, O families of the peoples, ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.

O bow down before Jehovah in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth.

And in that day there shall be the Root of Jesse, standing as a banner for the people; to Him the nations shall resort; and His resting place shall be glorious.

until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is esteemed as a forest.

The wilderness and the desert shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.

It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah and the majesty of our God.

Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; My Elect, in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He shall bring forth justice to the nations.

I, Jehovah, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand, and will keep You, and give You as a covenant to the people, as a Light to the nations;

And He said, It is but a little thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You for a light to the nations, to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.

Jehovah has bared His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

And the nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawning.

And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah will name.

O Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations shall come to You from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

And I will sow her unto Me in the earth. And I will have mercy on No Mercy. And I will say to those who were Not My People, You are My people! And they shall say, You are My God!

In that day I will raise up the covert of David that has fallen, and I will wall up its breaks. And I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

so that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations who are called by My name, declares Jehovah who does this.

And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers on the grass, which does not wait for man, nor delay for the sons of men.

Jehovah will be terrifying to them, for He will make lean all the gods of the earth. Each man from his place and all the islands of the nations will bow to Him.

For then I will transform to the peoples a pure language, to call on the name of Jehovah, to serve Him with one purpose.

And many nations shall be joined to Jehovah in that day, and they shall be My people. And I will dwell in your midst; and you shall know that Jehovah of Hosts has sent Me to you.

Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: There shall yet come people, and the inhabitants of many cities.

And many people and strong nations shall come to seek Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to make supplication before Jehovah.

For from the east to the west, My name shall be great among the nations, and everywhere incense shall be offered to My name; and a pure food offering; for My name shall be great among the nations, says Jehovah of Hosts.

And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven.

And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side; and they were afraid.

a Light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the Glory of Your people Israel.

Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, and sing unto Your name.

And again: Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles. Praise Him, all you peoples.
