SER. II. of the New Testament, which ascribes the salvation of man, to, who in the beginning was with God, and was God—by whom all things were created—who in the fulness of time took flesh, and dwelt among men—offered himself a sacrifice for our sins—rose from the dead—ascended up on high—and ever liveth to make intercession for us.

", a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know; him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands, have crucified and slain.—This hath God raised up.—Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same  whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." Acts, ii. 22, 23, 32, 36.

"I am, whom thou persecutest." Acts, xxii. 8.
