¶ Therefore said the wisdom of God: I will send them prophets and Apostles, and of them they shall slay and persecute:
the remnant took his servants, and intreated them ungodly, and slew them.
Truly ye bear witness, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.
And that repentance, and remission of sins, should be preached in his name among all nations. And the beginning must be at Ierusalem.
They shall excommunicate you: yee the time shall come, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth God true service.
but ye shall receive power of the holy ghost which shall come on you. And ye shall be witnesses unto me in Ierusalem, and in all iewery, and in Samary, and even unto the world's end.
¶ In those days came prophets from Ierusalem unto Antioche.
And when the blood of thy witness Stephen was shed, I also stood by, and consented unto his death and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
Then they gave a shout with a loud voice, and stopped their ears and all ran upon him at once,
Saul made havoc of the congregation entering into every house, and drew out both man and woman, and thrust them into prison.
but unto them which are called both of Jews and greeks we preach Christ the power of god, and the wisdom of god.
And unto him pertain ye, in Christ Iesu, which of god is made unto us wisdom, and also righteousness, and sanctifying, and redemption.
¶ And the very same, made some Apostles, some prophets, some Evangelists, some Shepherds, some Teachers:
in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
for they shed out the blood of saints, and prophets, and therefore hast thou given them blood to drink: for they are worthy.
¶ Rejoice over her thou heaven, and ye holy Apostles, and prophets: for God hath given your judgement on her.
