¶1

Chapter L.—Peter’s Benediction.

¶2

“You therefore who are turned to the Lord by repentance, bend to Him your knees.”  When he had said this, all the multitude bent their knees to God; and Peter, looking towards heaven, prayed for them with tears that God, for His goodness, would deign to receive those betaking themselves to Him.  And after he had prayed and had instructed them to meet early the next day, he dismissed the multitude.  Then according to custom, having taken food, we went to sleep.
