அப்போஸ்தலர் 3

fullscreen11 குணமாக்கப்பட்ட சப்பாணி பேதுருவையும் யோவானையும் பற்றிக்கொண்டிருக்கையில், ஜனங்களெல்லாரும் பிரமித்து, சாலொமோன் மண்டபம் என்னப்பட்ட மண்டபத்திலே அவர்களிடத்திற்கு ஓடிவந்தார்கள்.

fullscreen12 பேதுரு அதைக் கண்டு ஜனங்களை நோக்கி: இஸ்ரவேலரே, இதைக்குறித்து நீங்கள் ஆச்சரியப்படுகிறதென்ன? நாங்கள் எங்கள் சுயசக்தியினாலாவது, எங்கள் சுயபக்தியினாலாவது, இவனை நடக்கப்பண்ணினோமென்று நீங்கள் எங்களை நோக்கிப் பார்க்கிறதென்ன?

fullscreen13 ஆபிரகாம் ஈசாக்கு யாக்கோபு என்பவர்களுடைய தேவனாகிய நம்முடைய பிதாக்களின் தேவன் தம்முடைய பிள்ளையாகிய இயேசுவை மகிமைப்படுத்தினார், அவரை நீங்கள் ஒப்புக்கொடுத்தீர்கள்; பிலாத்து அவரை விடுதலையாக்கத் தீர்மானித்தபோது, அவனுக்குமுன்பாக அவரை மறுதலித்தீர்கள்.

fullscreen14 பரிசுத்தமும் நீதியுமுள்ளவரை நீங்கள் மறுதலித்து, கொலைபாதகனை உங்களுக்காக விடுதலைபண்ணவேண்டுமென்று கேட்டு,

fullscreen15 ஜீவாதிபதியைக் கொலைசெய்தீர்கள்; அவரை தேவன் மரித்தோரிலிருந்தெழுப்பினார்; அதற்கு நாங்கள் சாட்சிகளாயிருக்கிறோம்.

fullscreen16 அவருடைய நாமத்தைப்பற்றும் விசுவாசத்தினால் அவருடைய நாமமே நீங்கள் பார்த்து அறிந்திருக்கிற இவனைப் பெலப்படுத்தினது; அவரால் உண்டாகிய விசுவாசம் உங்களெல்லாருக்கும் முன்பாக, இந்தச் சர்வாங்க சுகத்தை இவனுக்குக் கொடுத்தது.

fullscreen17 சகோதரரே, நீங்களும் உங்கள் அதிகாரிகளும் அறியாமைனாலே இதைச்செய்தீர்களென்று அறிந்திருக்கிறேன்.

fullscreen18 கிறிஸ்து பாடுபடவேண்டுமென்று தேவன் தம்முடைய தீர்க்கதரிசிகளெல்லாருடைய வாக்கிலும் முன்னறிவித்தவைகளை இவ்விதமாய் நிறைவேற்றினார்.

fullscreen19 ஆனபடியினாலே கர்த்தருடைய சந்நிதானத்திலிருந்து இளைப்பாறுதலின் காலங்கள் வரும்படிக்கும், முன்னே குறிக்கப்பட்ட இயேசுகிறிஸ்துவை அவர் உங்களிடத்தில் அனுப்பும்படிக்கும்,

fullscreen20 உங்கள் பாவங்கள் நிவிர்த்திசெய்யப்படும்பொருட்டு நீங்கள் மனந்திரும்பிக் குணப்படுங்கள்.

fullscreen21 உலகத்தோற்றமுதல் தேவன் தம்முடைய பரிசுத்த தீர்க்கதரிசிகளெல்லாருடைய வாக்கிலும் உரைத்தவைகளெல்லாம் நிறைவேறித் தீருங்காலங்கள் வருமளவும் பரலோகம் அவரை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளவேண்டும்.

fullscreen22 மோசே பிதாக்களை நோக்கி: நீங்கள் தேவனாகிய கர்த்தர் என்னைப்போல ஒரு தீர்க்கதரிசியை உங்களுக்காக உங்கள் சகோதரரிலிருந்து எழும்பப்பண்ணுவார்; அவர் உங்களுக்குச்சொல்லும் எல்லாவற்றிலும் அவருக்குச் செவிகொடுப்பீர்களாக.

fullscreen23 அந்தத் தீர்க்கதரிசியின் சொற்கேளாதவனோ, அவன் ஜனத்திலிராதபடிக்கு நிர்மூலமாக்கப்படுவான்.

fullscreen24 சாமுவேல் முதற்கொண்டு, எத்தனைபேர் தீர்க்கதரிசனம் உரைத்தார்களோ, அத்தனைபேரும் இந்த நாட்களை முன்னறிவித்தார்கள்.

fullscreen25 நீங்கள் அந்தத் தீர்க்கதரிசிகளுக்குப் புத்திரராயிருக்கிறீர்கள்; உன் சந்ததியினாலே பூமியிலுள்ள வம்சங்களெல்லாம் ஆசீர்வதிக்கப்படும் என்று தேவன் ஆபிரகாமுக்குச் சொல்லி, நம்முடைய முன்னோர்களோடே பண்ணின உடன்படிக்கைக்குப் புத்திரராயிருக்கிறீர்கள்.

11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.

2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

7 And he arose, and departed to his house.

8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
