And, as he held fast Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them, in the portico which is called Solomon's, - greatly amazed.

The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, - the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus: - whom, ye, indeed, delivered up and denied to Pilate's, face when he had adjudged to release him;

But, ye, denied, the Holy and Righteous One, and claimed a man that was a murderer to be granted you;

But, the Princely Leader of Life, ye slew: - whom, God, raised from among the dead, whereof, we, are witnesses.
