Red Letter is Jesus’ words as recorded in the four Gospels, the Book of Acts, and Revelation (KJV). Jesus’ red letter words are preceded by grey commentary stating (a) the place where he spoke, and (b) to whom or of what he was speaking. Text in black is a complement to his words or actions.
Recognizing that the Father and the Holy Ghost are also God, and that their recorded statements are equally true, Red Letter includes their holy words. Their quoted words are bolded.
Chapter 1
During the 40 days after his resurrection, to the disciples
4commanded them that they should not depart
from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father,
which, ye have heard of me. 5For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
7It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Chapter 9
On the road to Damascus, to Saul (who is Paul)
4Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
At Damascus, to Ananias in a vision
10Ananias.
11Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, 12and hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
15Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: 16for I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
Chapter 10
On a housetop in Joppa, to Peter, concerning the vision of the unclean animals.
13Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have
never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15And the voice spake unto him again the second time,
What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
Chapter 13
In the church at Antioch, to certain prophets and teachers
2The Holy Ghost said,
Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
