Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Acts of the Apostles: Arranged for Families and Sunday Schools; With Notes and Questions
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said (the number of the names to gether were about a hundred and twenty), Men and brethren, this Scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was num bered with us, and had obtained part of this minis try. N ow this man purchased a field with the te ward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jeru salem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue Aceldama, ' that is to say, 'the field of blood.' For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein'; and, His bishopric let another take.' Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up fi'om us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
