彼得開始按着次序對他們敘陳說：

我們極感謝地領受。

因為聖靈和我們定意、不把更大的重擔放在你們身上，只提這些必須作的事：

所以我以為不可難為外國人中那些轉向上帝的；

我們就同心合意、定意揀選人，差他們、同我們親愛的巴拿巴和保羅、去見你們；

既有許多人着手將我們中間確曾發生過的事實按次敘說，

再者，傳道人除了做智慧師之外，他還繼續將知識教訓一切人；他又衡量，又考查，又編撰許多箴言。

你行了這些事，我緘不作聲；你想我和你一樣。其實我要責備你，要將這些事擺在你眼前呢。

至於兄弟亞波羅、我許多次勸他同弟兄們到你們那裏去，他總沒有意思現在就去；幾時有了機會，他就去的。

永恆主我的上帝啊，你奇妙的作為、你行的許多大事、你向我們所懷的意念、沒有甚麼能跟你並列的。我要講述或說明，則多到不能數算。
