13The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his son JESUS, whom you indeed delivered and denied before the face of Pilate, he judging him to be released.The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his sonne IESVS, vvhom you in deede deliuered and denied before the face of Pilate, he iudging him to be released.Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob, Deus patrum nostrorum glorificavit filium suum Jesum, quem vos quidem tradidistis, et negastis ante faciem Pilati, judicante illo dimitti.

19Be penitent therefore and convert, that your sins may be put out.Be Penitent therfore & conuert, that your sinnes may be put out.Pœnitemini igitur et convertimini, ut deleantur peccata vestra :
20that, when the times shall come of refreshing by the sight of our Lord, and he shall send him that hath been preached unto you JESUS CHRIST,that, vvhen the times shal come of refreshing by the sight of our Lord, and he shal send him that hath been preached vnto you IESVS CHRIST,ut cum venerint tempora refrigerii a conspectu Domini, et miserit eum qui prædicatus est vobis, Jesum Christum,

23And it shall be, every soul that shall not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed out of the people.And it shal be, euery soule that shal not heare that prophet, shal be destroied out of the people.Erit autem : omnis anima quæ non audierit prophetam illum, exterminabitur de plebe.

Annotations
6That which I have. This power of working miracles was in Peter, and Peter properly did give this man his health, though he received that force and virtue of God, and in & by him executed the same. Therefore he saith, That which I have, I give to thee, and the Heretics are ridiculous that note here, a miracle done by Christ by the hands of the Apostles, to make the simple believe that they had no more to do then a dead instrument in the workman's hand.
12By our power. When the Apostles remit sins, or do any other miracles, they do it not by any humane, proper, or natural power in themselves: but of supernatural force given them from above, to prove that the faith of Christ is true, and that he is God whom the Jews crucified, in whose name and faith they work, and not in their own.
