Acts 2

Clinging to a Counterfeit Cross
Introduction

1  The apostles, filled with the Holy Ghost, and speaking divers languages, are admired by some, and derided by others;
14  whom Peter disproves;
37  he baptizes a great number that were converted;
41  who afterwards devoutly and charitably converse together; the apostles working many miracles, and God daily increasing his church.
