ACTS of the APOSTLES
Chapter 2, Verses 5-41
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”
14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:17 “‘In the last days, God says,22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
21 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
32 "God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. 33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

Good Morning, Dan! :-)
I like #19 where it looks like two Pharisees arguing about Peter’s preaching. “Didn’t we just get rid of this guys master? Who does he think he is? Why isn’t he scared?”
Mary-Lou! Excited about tonight’s Wild Card game, or still boycotting?
Two millennia later, they’re still befuddled by us.
What “Wild card Game”?
I honestly don’t know what that is.
Just an explanation on #5 by Filippino Lippi. Peter did many miracles himself, in this case, raising the son of Theophilus, who had previously imprisoned Peter. Paul, wanting to befriend Theophilus, told him that Peter could resurrect the boy who had been dead for 14 years. Peter did the miracle and Thephilus and 10,0000 Antiochians were subsequently converted and baptized.
According to the Golden Legend (a wonderful medieval book containing a wealth of historical and traditional information and which was widely read during the Middle Ages): “Suddenly a light appeared there, and all the sick people were healed. And that same day the Holy Ghost showed so greatly his grace, that from the least unto the most, all believed in our Lord Jesus Christ. And there were baptized in seven days more than ten thousand persons of men, women, and children, and also Theophilus, the lord and provost of the city, to whom St. Peter had raised his son which had been fourteen years dead.
And some say that of his palace he made a church in the which all the people set up a chair for St. Peter to sit in more higher, for to preach the doctrine of Jesus Christ, and the better to be heard and seen. And of the exalting thus of St. Peter into this chair, this feast taketh the name of the chairing of St. Peter. And in this church was St. Peter seven years, and from thence he went to Rome and governed the church of Rome twenty-five years.”
So, I guess that's a "No."
Ah, I see now this is from a much later instance of Peter preaching. I wondered whether it belonged with this narrative, because the boy seemed incongruous; but I decided to include it anyway, because of its caption, of course—but also because I might not have another opportunity, because art likely will be so scarce on those later instances that I won’t be able to present them.
Well, I go out with my brother and his wife every Tuesday, so it will probably be on the TV at the restaurant.
First I ever heard of that. Knew the disciples raised peol,e fro. The dead. But one that was dead 14 years dead? Pretty amazing
He -the one on the right is (might be) the only one in the entire painting actually looking at Peter. The Roman's back/head is purposefully turned away = Roman empire rejecting...soon to fall itself (in 300 or so years).
The curved(?) columns, but cracked! The floor beneath Peter's feet, cracked! = Jewish 'temple'/rites cracked? Think so/my guess.
According to the Golden Legend.....
Whatever the veracity of this story is, the people of Antioch welcomed Peter’s preaching and built a chair for him to be placed above everyone else while he taught them about Jesus.
Was that the photo you posted (I tnjnk it was you?) In the last thread showing the elaborate church of Peter i think it was? (Now I gotta go back and look lol)
