The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s.

    She
    
    Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
    For your love is better than wine;
        your anointing oils are fragrant;
    your name is oil poured out;
        therefore virgins love you.
    Draw me after you; let us run.
        The king has brought me into his chambers.
    
    
    Others
    
    We will exult and rejoice in you;
        we will extol your love more than wine;
        rightly do they love you.
    
    
    She
    
    I am very dark, but lovely,
        O daughters of Jerusalem,
    like the tents of Kedar,
        like the curtains of Solomon.
    Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
        because the sun has looked upon me.
    My mother’s sons were angry with me;
        they made me keeper of the vineyards,
        but my own vineyard I have not kept!
    Tell me, you whom my soul loves,
        where you pasture your flock,
        where you make it lie down at noon;
    for why should I be like one who veils herself
        beside the flocks of your companions?
    
    
        He
    
    If you do not know,
        O most beautiful among women,
    follow in the tracks of the flock,
        and pasture your young goats
        beside the shepherds’ tents.
    
    
    I compare you, my love,
        to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.
    Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
        your neck with strings of jewels.
    
    
    Others
    
    We will make for you ornaments of gold,
        studded with silver.
    
    
    She
    
    While the king was on his couch,
        my nard gave forth its fragrance.
    My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh
        that lies between my breasts.
    My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
        in the vineyards of Engedi.
    
    
    He
    
    Behold, you are beautiful, my love;
        behold, you are beautiful;
        your eyes are doves.
    
    
    She
    
    Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly delightful.
    Our couch is green;
        the beams of our house are cedar;
        our rafters are pine. (ESV)

I am a rose of Sharon,
        a lily of the valleys.
    
    
    He
    
    As a lily among brambles,
        so is my love among the young women.
    
    
    She
    
    As an apple tree among the trees of the forest,
        so is my beloved among the young men.
    With great delight I sat in his shadow,
        and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
    He brought me to the banqueting house,
        and his banner over me was love.
    Sustain me with raisins;
        refresh me with apples,
        for I am sick with love.
    His left hand is under my head,
        and his right hand embraces me!
    I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
        by the gazelles or the does of the field,
    that you not stir up or awaken love
        until it pleases.
    
    
        The voice of my beloved!
        Behold, he comes,
    leaping over the mountains,
        bounding over the hills.
    My beloved is like a gazelle
        or a young stag.
    Behold, there he stands
        behind our wall,
    gazing through the windows,
        looking through the lattice.
    My beloved speaks and says to me:
    “Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
        and come away,
    for behold, the winter is past;
        the rain is over and gone.
    The flowers appear on the earth,
        the time of singing has come,
    and the voice of the turtledove
        is heard in our land.
    The fig tree ripens its figs,
        and the vines are in blossom;
        they give forth fragrance.
    Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
        and come away.
    O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
        in the crannies of the cliff,
    let me see your face,
        let me hear your voice,
    for your voice is sweet,
        and your face is lovely.
    Catch the foxes for us,
        the little foxes
    that spoil the vineyards,
        for our vineyards are in blossom.”
    
    
    My beloved is mine, and I am his;
        he grazes among the lilies.
    Until the day breathes
        and the shadows flee,
    turn, my beloved, be like a gazelle
        or a young stag on cleft mountains. (ESV)

On my bed by night
    I sought him whom my soul loves;
        I sought him, but found him not.
    I will rise now and go about the city,
        in the streets and in the squares;
    I will seek him whom my soul loves.
        I sought him, but found him not.
    The watchmen found me
        as they went about in the city.
    “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
    Scarcely had I passed them
        when I found him whom my soul loves.
    I held him, and would not let him go
        until I had brought him into my mother’s house,
        and into the chamber of her who conceived me.
    I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
        by the gazelles or the does of the field,
    that you not stir up or awaken love
        until it pleases.
    
    
        What is that coming up from the wilderness
        like columns of smoke,
    perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
        with all the fragrant powders of a merchant?
    Behold, it is the litter of Solomon!
    Around it are sixty mighty men,
        some of the mighty men of Israel,
    all of them wearing swords
        and expert in war,
    each with his sword at his thigh,
        against terror by night.
    King Solomon made himself a carriage
        from the wood of Lebanon.
    He made its posts of silver,
        its back of gold, its seat of purple;
    its interior was inlaid with love
        by the daughters of Jerusalem.
    Go out, O daughters of Zion,
        and look upon King Solomon,
    with the crown with which his mother crowned him
        on the day of his wedding,
        on the day of the gladness of his heart. (ESV)

“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know—this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. For David says concerning him,

    “‘I saw the Lord always before me,
        for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
    therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
        my flesh also will dwell in hope.
    For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,
        or let your Holy One see corruption.
    You have made known to me the paths of life;
        you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
    
    
      “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,

    “‘The Lord said to my Lord,
    “Sit at my right hand,
        until I make your enemies your footstool.”’
    
    
      Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

  Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “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. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

  And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. (ESV)
