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

And He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

O Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, our heart is wide open.

for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

Therefore, having obtained help from God, to this day I stand, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said would come to be;

that the Christ would suffer, that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.

So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he explained and testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening.

And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

Then He said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.

And He said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,

And immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.

But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

explaining and setting forth that the Christ needed to suffer and rise again from the dead, and that this Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.

Then certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, What does this empty talker want to say? And others, He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign demons, because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.

Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, We command you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.

but we preach Christ crucified, truly to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,

For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

searching for what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand of the sufferings of Christ and the glories after these things.

To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven; things which angels desire to look into.
