15Â And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak.

20Â As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet.
21Â And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.
22Â And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.
23 Of this man’s seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24Â John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.
