Acts 1: 1-26

1 The³⁵⁸⁸ former⁴⁴¹³ treatise³⁰⁵⁶ have³³⁰³ I made,⁴¹⁶⁰ O⁵⁵⁹⁹ Theophilus,²³²¹ of⁴⁰¹² all³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁷³⁹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ began⁷⁵⁶ both⁵⁰³⁷ to do⁴¹⁶⁰ and²⁵³² teach,¹³²¹

2 Until⁸⁹¹ the day²²⁵⁰ in which³⁷³⁹ he was taken up,³⁵³ after that he through¹²²³ the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ had given commandments¹⁷⁸¹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² whom³⁷³⁹ he had chosen:¹⁵⁸⁶

3 To whom³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² he showed³⁹³⁶ himself¹⁴³⁸ alive²¹⁹⁸ after his⁸⁴⁶ passion³⁹⁵⁸ by¹⁷²² many⁴¹⁸³ infallible proofs,⁵⁰³⁹ being seen³⁷⁰⁰ of them⁸⁴⁶ forty⁵⁰⁶² days,²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² speaking³⁰⁰⁴ of the things³⁵⁸⁸ pertaining⁴⁰¹² to the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God:²³¹⁶

4 And,²⁵³² being assembled together with⁴⁸⁷¹ them, commanded³⁸⁵³ them⁸⁴⁶ that they should not³³⁶¹ depart⁵⁵⁶³ from⁵⁷⁵ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ but²³⁵ wait for⁴⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Father,³⁹⁶² which,³⁷³⁹ saith he, ye have heard¹⁹¹ of me.³⁴⁵⁰

5 For³⁷⁵⁴ John²⁴⁹¹ truly³³⁰³ baptized⁹⁰⁷ with water;⁵²⁰⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ ye⁵²¹⁰ shall be baptized⁹⁰⁷ with¹⁷²² the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ many⁴¹⁸³ days²²⁵⁰ hence.⁵⁰²⁵

6 When they³⁵⁸⁸ ³³⁰³ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ were come together,⁴⁹⁰⁵ they asked¹⁹⁰⁵ of him,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Lord,²⁹⁶² wilt thou¹⁴⁸⁷ at¹⁷²² this⁵¹²⁹ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ restore again⁶⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² to Israel?²⁴⁷⁴

7 And¹¹⁶¹ he said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ It is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ for you⁵²¹⁶ to know¹⁰⁹⁷ the times⁵⁵⁵⁰ or²²²⁸ the seasons,²⁵⁴⁰ which³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Father³⁹⁶² hath put⁵⁰⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² his own²³⁹⁸ power.¹⁸⁴⁹

8 But²³⁵ ye shall receive²⁹⁸³ power,¹⁴¹¹ after that the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ is come¹⁹⁰⁴ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ you:⁵²⁰⁹ and²⁵³² ye shall be²⁰⁷¹ witnesses³¹⁴⁴ unto me³⁴²⁷ both⁵⁰³⁷ in¹⁷²² Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ Judea,²⁴⁴⁹ and²⁵³² in Samaria,⁴⁵⁴⁰ and²⁵³² unto²¹⁹³ the uttermost part²⁰⁷⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth.¹⁰⁹³

9 And²⁵³² when he had spoken²⁰³⁶ these things,⁵⁰²³ while they⁸⁴⁶ beheld,⁹⁹¹ he was taken up;¹⁸⁶⁹ and²⁵³² a cloud³⁵⁰⁷ received⁵²⁷⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ out of⁵⁷⁵ their⁸⁴⁶ sight.³⁷⁸⁸

10 And²⁵³² while⁵⁶¹³ they looked steadfastly²²⁵⁸ ⁸¹⁶ toward¹⁵¹⁹ heaven³⁷⁷² as he⁸⁴⁶ went up,⁴¹⁹⁸ behold,²⁴⁰⁰ two¹⁴¹⁷ men⁴³⁵ ²⁵³² stood by³⁹³⁶ them⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² white³⁰²² apparel;²⁰⁶⁶

11 Which³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² said,²⁰³⁶ Ye men⁴³⁵ of Galilee,¹⁰⁵⁷ why⁵¹⁰¹ stand²⁴⁷⁶ ye gazing up¹⁶⁸⁹ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven?³⁷⁷² this same³⁷⁷⁸ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ which is taken up³⁵³ from⁵⁷⁵ you⁵²¹⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven,³⁷⁷² shall so³⁷⁷⁹ come²⁰⁶⁴ in like manner³⁷³⁹ ⁵¹⁵⁸ as ye have seen²³⁰⁰ him⁸⁴⁶ go⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven.³⁷⁷²

12 Then⁵¹¹⁹ returned⁵²⁹⁰ they unto¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ from⁵⁷⁵ the mount³⁷³⁵ called²⁵⁶⁴ Olivet,¹⁶³⁸ which is³⁶⁰³ from¹⁴⁵¹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ a²¹⁹² sabbath day's⁴⁵²¹ journey.³⁵⁹⁸

13 And²⁵³² when³⁷⁵³ they were come in,¹⁵²⁵ they went up³⁰⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ an upper room,⁵²⁵³ where³⁷⁵⁷ abode²²⁵⁸ ²⁶⁵⁰ both⁵⁰³⁷ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² James,²³⁸⁵ and²⁵³² John,²⁴⁹¹ and²⁵³² Andrew,⁴⁰⁶ Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ and²⁵³² Thomas,²³⁸¹ Bartholomew,⁹¹⁸ and²⁵³² Matthew,³¹⁵⁶ James²³⁸⁵ the son of Alphaeus,²⁵⁶ and²⁵³² Simon⁴⁶¹³ Zelotes,²²⁰⁸ and²⁵³² Judas²⁴⁵⁵ the brother of James.²³⁸⁵

14 These³⁷⁷⁸ all³⁹⁵⁶ continued²²⁵⁸ ⁴³⁴² with one accord³⁶⁶¹ in prayer⁴³³⁵ and²⁵³² supplication,¹¹⁶² with⁴⁸⁶² the women,¹¹³⁵ and²⁵³² Mary³¹³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ mother³³⁸⁴ of Jesus,²⁴²⁴ and²⁵³² with⁴⁸⁶² his⁸⁴⁶ brethren.⁸⁰

15 And²⁵³² in¹⁷²² those⁵⁰²⁵ days²²⁵⁰ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ stood up⁴⁵⁰ in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples,³¹⁰¹ and said,²⁰³⁶ (the⁵⁰³⁷ number³⁷⁹³ of names³⁶⁸⁶ together¹⁹⁰⁹ ⁸⁴⁶ were²²⁵⁸ about⁵⁶¹³ a hundred and twenty,)¹⁵⁴⁰ ¹⁵⁰¹

16 Men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ this⁵⁰²⁶ Scripture¹¹²⁴ must needs¹¹⁶³ have been fulfilled,⁴¹³⁷ which³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ by¹²²³ the mouth⁴⁷⁵⁰ of David¹¹³⁸ spake before⁴²⁷⁷ concerning⁴⁰¹² Judas,²⁴⁵⁵ which was¹⁰⁹⁶ guide³⁵⁹⁵ to them that took⁴⁸¹⁵ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

17 For³⁷⁵⁴ he was²²⁵⁸ numbered²⁶⁷⁴ with⁴⁸⁶² us,²²⁵⁴ and²⁵³² had obtained²⁹⁷⁵ part²⁸¹⁹ of this⁵⁰²⁶ ministry.¹²⁴⁸

18 Now³⁷⁶⁷ this man³⁷⁷⁸ ³³⁰³ purchased²⁹³² a field⁵⁵⁶⁴ with¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ reward³⁴⁰⁸ of iniquity;⁹³ and²⁵³² falling¹⁰⁹⁶ headlong,⁴²⁴⁸ he burst asunder²⁹⁹⁷ in the midst,³³¹⁹ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ bowels⁴⁶⁹⁸ gushed out.¹⁶³²

19 And²⁵³² it was¹⁰⁹⁶ known¹¹¹⁰ unto all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ dwellers²⁷³⁰ at Jerusalem;²⁴¹⁹ insomuch as⁵⁶²⁰ that¹⁵⁶⁵ field⁵⁵⁶⁴ is called²⁵⁶⁴ in their⁸⁴⁶ proper²³⁹⁸ tongue,¹²⁵⁸ Aceldama,¹⁸⁴ that is to say,⁵¹²³ The field⁵⁵⁶⁴ of blood.¹²⁹

20 For¹⁰⁶³ it is written¹¹²⁵ in¹⁷²² the book⁹⁷⁶ of Psalms,⁵⁵⁶⁸ Let his⁸⁴⁶ habitation¹⁸⁸⁶ be¹⁰⁹⁶ desolate,²⁰⁴⁸ and²⁵³² let no³³⁶¹ man²⁰⁷⁷ dwell²⁷³⁰ therein:¹⁷²² ⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ bishopric¹⁹⁸⁴ let another²⁰⁸⁷ take.²⁹⁸³

21 Wherefore³⁷⁶⁷ of¹¹⁶³ these men⁴³⁵ which have companied⁴⁹⁰⁵ with us²²⁵⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ the time⁵⁵⁵⁰ that¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ went in¹⁵²⁵ and²⁵³² out¹⁸³¹ among¹⁹⁰⁹ us,²²⁴⁸

22 Beginning⁷⁵⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ baptism⁹⁰⁸ of John,²⁴⁹¹ unto²¹⁹³ that same day²²⁵⁰ that³⁷³⁹ he was taken up³⁵³ from⁵⁷⁵ us,²²⁵⁷ must one¹⁵²⁰ be⁵¹³⁰ ordained¹⁰⁹⁶ to be a witness³¹⁴⁴ with⁴⁸⁶² us²²⁵⁴ of his⁸⁴⁶ resurrection.³⁸⁶

23 And²⁵³² they appointed²⁴⁷⁶ two,¹⁴¹⁷ Joseph²⁵⁰¹ called²⁵⁶⁴ Barsabas,⁹²³ who³⁷³⁹ was surnamed¹⁹⁴¹ Justus,²⁴⁵⁹ and²⁵³² Matthias.³¹⁵⁹

24 And²⁵³² they prayed,⁴³³⁶ and said,²⁰³⁶ Thou,⁴⁷⁷¹ Lord,²⁹⁶² which knowest the hearts²⁵⁸⁹ of all³⁹⁵⁶ men, show³²² whether³⁷³⁹ ¹⁵²⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ these⁵¹³⁰ two¹⁴¹⁷ thou hast chosen,¹⁵⁸⁶

25 That he may take²⁹⁸³ part²⁸¹⁹ of this⁵⁰²⁶ ministry¹²⁴⁸ and²⁵³² apostleship,⁶⁵¹ from¹⁵³⁷ which³⁷³⁹ Judas²⁴⁵⁵ by transgression fell,³⁸⁴⁵ that he might go⁴¹⁹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ his own²³⁹⁸ place.⁵¹¹⁷

26 And²⁵³² they gave forth¹³²⁵ their⁸⁴⁶ lots;²⁸¹⁹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ lot²⁸¹⁹ fell⁴⁰⁹⁸ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ Matthias;³¹⁵⁹ and²⁵³² he was numbered⁴⁷⁸⁵ with³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ eleven¹⁷³³ apostles.⁶⁵²

Acts 2: 1-47

1 And²⁵³² when the³⁵⁸⁸ day²²⁵⁰ of Pentecost⁴⁰⁰⁵ was fully come,⁴⁸⁴⁵ they were²²⁵⁸ all⁵³⁷ with one accord³⁶⁶¹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ one place.⁸⁴⁶

2 And²⁵³² suddenly⁸⁶⁹ there came¹⁰⁹⁶ a sound²²⁷⁹ from¹⁵³⁷ heaven³⁷⁷² as⁵⁶¹⁸ of a rushing⁵³⁴² mighty⁹⁷² wind,⁴¹⁵⁷ and²⁵³² it filled⁴¹³⁷ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ house³⁶²⁴ where³⁷⁵⁷ they were²²⁵⁸ sitting.²⁵²¹

3 And²⁵³² there appeared³⁷⁰⁰ unto them⁸⁴⁶ cloven¹²⁶⁶ tongues¹¹⁰⁰ like as⁵⁶¹⁶ of fire,⁴⁴⁴² and⁵⁰³⁷ it sat²⁵²³ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ each¹⁵³⁸ ¹⁵²⁰ of them.⁸⁴⁶

4 And²⁵³² they were all⁵³⁷ filled⁴¹³⁰ with the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² began⁷⁵⁶ to speak²⁹⁸⁰ with other²⁰⁸⁷ tongues,¹¹⁰⁰ as²⁵³¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ gave¹³²⁵ them⁸⁴⁶ utterance.⁶⁶⁹

5 And¹¹⁶¹ there were²²⁵⁸ dwelling²⁷³⁰ at¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ Jews,²⁴⁵³ devout²¹²⁶ men,⁴³⁵ out of⁵⁷⁵ every³⁹⁵⁶ nation¹⁴⁸⁴ under⁵²⁵⁹ heaven.³⁷⁷²

6 Now¹¹⁶¹ when this⁵⁰²⁶ was noised abroad,¹⁰⁹⁶ ⁵⁴⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude⁴¹²⁸ came together,⁴⁹⁰⁵ and²⁵³² were confounded,⁴⁷⁹⁷ because³⁷⁵⁴ that every man¹⁵³⁸ ¹⁵²⁰ heard¹⁹¹ them⁸⁴⁶ speak²⁹⁸⁰ in his own²³⁹⁸ language.¹²⁵⁸

7 And¹¹⁶¹ they were all³⁹⁵⁶ amazed¹⁸³⁹ and²⁵³² marveled,²²⁹⁶ saying³⁰⁰⁴ one to another,²⁴⁰ ⁴³¹⁴ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ are¹⁵²⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ these³⁷⁷⁸ which speak²⁹⁸⁰ Galilaeans?¹⁰⁵⁷

8 And²⁵³² how⁴⁴⁵⁹ hear¹⁹¹ we²²⁴⁹ every man¹⁵³⁸ in our²²⁵⁷ own²³⁹⁸ tongue,¹²⁵⁸ wherein¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ we were born?¹⁰⁸⁰

9 Parthians,³⁹³⁴ and²⁵³² Medes,³³⁷⁰ and²⁵³² Elamites,¹⁶³⁹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ dwellers²⁷³⁰ in Mesopotamia,³³¹⁸ and⁵⁰³⁷ in Judea,²⁴⁴⁹ and²⁵³² Cappadocia,²⁵⁸⁷ in Pontus,⁴¹⁹⁵ and²⁵³² Asia,⁷⁷³

10 ⁵⁰³⁷ Phrygia,⁵⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² Pamphylia,³⁸²⁸ in Egypt,¹²⁵ and²⁵³² in the³⁵⁸⁸ parts³³¹³ of Libya³⁰³³ about²⁵⁹⁶ Cyrene,²⁹⁵⁷ and²⁵³² strangers¹⁹²⁷ of Rome,⁴⁵¹⁴ ⁵⁰³⁷ Jews²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² proselytes,⁴³³⁹

11 Cretes²⁹¹² and²⁵³² Arabians,⁶⁹⁰ we do hear¹⁹¹ them⁸⁴⁶ speak²⁹⁸⁰ in our²²⁵¹ tongues¹¹⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ wonderful works³¹⁶⁷ of God.²³¹⁶

12 And¹¹⁶¹ they were all³⁹⁵⁶ amazed,¹⁸³⁹ and²⁵³² were in doubt,¹²⁸⁰ saying³⁰⁰⁴ one to another,²⁴³ ⁴³¹⁴ ²⁴³ What⁵¹⁰¹ meaneth²³⁰⁹ ³⁰² ¹⁵¹¹ this?⁵¹²⁴

13 ¹¹⁶¹ Others²⁰⁸⁷ mocking⁵⁵¹² said,³⁰⁰⁴ These men are¹⁵²⁶ full³³²⁵ of new wine.¹⁰⁹⁸

14 But¹¹⁶¹ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴ standing up²⁴⁷⁶ with⁴⁸⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ eleven,¹⁷³³ lifted up¹⁸⁶⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ and²⁵³² said⁶⁶⁹ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Ye men⁴³⁵ of Judea,²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² all⁵³⁷ ye that dwell²⁷³⁰ at Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ be²⁰⁷⁷ this⁵¹²⁴ known¹¹¹⁰ unto you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² hearken¹⁸⁰¹ to my³⁴⁵⁰ words:⁴⁴⁸⁷

15 For¹⁰⁶³ these³⁷⁷⁸ are not³⁷⁵⁶ drunken,³¹⁸⁴ as⁵⁶¹³ ye⁵²¹⁰ suppose,⁵²⁷⁴ seeing¹⁰⁶³ it is²⁰⁷⁶ but the third⁵¹⁵⁴ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ day.²²⁵⁰

16 But²³⁵ this⁵¹²⁴ is²⁰⁷⁶ that which was spoken²⁰⁴⁶ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet⁴³⁹⁶ Joel;²⁴⁹³

17 And²⁵³² it shall come to pass²⁰⁷¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ last²⁰⁷⁸ days,²²⁵⁰ saith³⁰⁰⁴ God,²³¹⁶ I will pour out¹⁶³² of⁵⁷⁵ my³⁴⁵⁰ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ flesh:⁴⁵⁶¹ and²⁵³² your⁵²¹⁶ sons⁵²⁰⁷ and²⁵³² your⁵²¹⁶ daughters²³⁶⁴ shall prophesy,⁴³⁹⁵ and²⁵³² your⁵²¹⁶ young men³⁴⁹⁵ shall see³⁷⁰⁰ visions,³⁷⁰⁶ and²⁵³² your⁵²¹⁶ old men⁴²⁴⁵ shall dream¹⁷⁹⁷ dreams:¹⁷⁹⁸

18 And²⁵³² ¹⁰⁶⁵ on¹⁹⁰⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ servants¹⁴⁰¹ and²⁵³² on¹⁹⁰⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ handmaidens¹³⁹⁹ I will pour out¹⁶³² in¹⁷²² those¹⁵⁶⁵ days²²⁵⁰ of⁵⁷⁵ my³⁴⁵⁰ Spirit;⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² they shall prophesy:⁴³⁹⁵

19 And²⁵³² I will show¹³²⁵ wonders⁵⁰⁵⁹ in¹⁷²² heaven³⁷⁷² above,⁵⁰⁷ and²⁵³² signs⁴⁵⁹² in¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ beneath;²⁷³⁶ blood,¹²⁹ and²⁵³² fire,⁴⁴⁴² and²⁵³² vapor⁸²² of smoke:²⁵⁸⁶

20 The³⁵⁸⁸ sun²²⁴⁶ shall be turned³³⁴⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ darkness,⁴⁶⁵⁵ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ moon⁴⁵⁸² into¹⁵¹⁹ blood,¹²⁹ before⁴²⁵⁰ that²²²⁸ great³¹⁷³ and²⁵³² notable²⁰¹⁶ day²²⁵⁰ of the Lord²⁹⁶² come:²⁰⁶⁴

21 And²⁵³² it shall come to pass,²⁰⁷¹ that whosoever³⁹⁵⁶ ³⁷³⁹ ³⁰² shall call on¹⁹⁴¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the Lord²⁹⁶² shall be saved.⁴⁹⁸²

22 Ye men⁴³⁵ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁵ hear¹⁹¹ these⁵¹²⁸ words;³⁰⁵⁶ Jesus²⁴²⁴ of Nazareth,³⁴⁸⁰ a man⁴³⁵ approved⁵⁸⁴ of⁵⁷⁵ God²³¹⁶ among¹⁵¹⁹ you⁵²⁰⁹ by miracles¹⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² wonders⁵⁰⁵⁹ and²⁵³² signs,⁴⁵⁹² which³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ did⁴¹⁶⁰ by¹²²³ him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of you,⁵²¹⁶ as²⁵³¹ ye⁸⁴⁶ yourselves also²⁵³² know:¹⁴⁹²

23 Him,⁵¹²⁶ being delivered¹⁵⁶⁰ by the³⁵⁸⁸ determinate³⁷²⁴ counsel¹⁰¹² and²⁵³² foreknowledge⁴²⁶⁸ of God,²³¹⁶ ye have taken,²⁹⁸³ and by¹²²³ wicked⁴⁵⁹ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ have crucified⁴³⁶² and slain:³³⁷

24 Whom³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ hath raised up,⁴⁵⁰ having loosed³⁰⁸⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ pains⁵⁶⁰⁴ of death:²²⁸⁸ because²⁵³⁰ it was²²⁵⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ possible¹⁴¹⁵ that he⁸⁴⁶ should be holden²⁹⁰² of⁵²⁵⁹ it.⁸⁴⁶

25 For¹⁰⁶³ David¹¹³⁸ speaketh³⁰⁰⁴ concerning¹⁵¹⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ I foresaw⁴³⁰⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² always¹²²³ ³⁹⁵⁶ before¹⁷⁹⁹ my face,³⁴⁵⁰ for³⁷⁵⁴ he is²⁰⁷⁶ on¹⁵³⁷ my³⁴⁵⁰ right hand,¹¹⁸⁸ that²⁴⁴³ I should not³³⁶¹ be moved:⁴⁵³¹

26 Therefore¹²²³ ⁵¹²⁴ did my³⁴⁵⁰ heart²⁵⁸⁸ rejoice,²¹⁶⁵ and²⁵³² my³⁴⁵⁰ tongue¹¹⁰⁰ was glad;²¹ moreover¹¹⁶¹ ²⁰⁸⁹ also²⁵³² my³⁴⁵⁰ flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ shall rest²⁶⁸¹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ hope:¹⁶⁸⁰

27 Because³⁷⁵⁴ thou wilt not³⁷⁵⁶ leave¹⁴⁵⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ soul⁵⁵⁹⁰ in¹⁵¹⁹ hell,⁸⁶ neither³⁷⁶¹ wilt thou suffer¹³²⁵ thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ Holy One³⁷⁴¹ to see¹⁴⁹² corruption.¹³¹²

28 Thou hast made known¹¹⁰⁷ to me³⁴²⁷ the ways³⁵⁹⁸ of life;²²²² thou shalt make me full⁴¹³⁷ ³¹⁶⁵ of joy²¹⁶⁷ with³³²⁶ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ countenance.⁴³⁸³

29 Men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ let¹⁸³² me freely³³²⁶ ³⁹⁵⁴ speak²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ of⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ patriarch³⁹⁶⁶ David,¹¹³⁸ that³⁷⁵⁴ he is both dead⁵⁰⁵³ ²⁵³² and²⁵³² buried,²²⁹⁰ and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ sepulcher³⁴¹⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ with¹⁷²² us²²⁵⁴ unto⁸⁹¹ this⁵⁰²⁶ day.²²⁵⁰

30 Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ being⁵²²⁵ a prophet,⁴³⁹⁶ and²⁵³² knowing¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ had sworn³⁶⁶⁰ with an oath³⁷²⁷ to him,⁸⁴⁶ that of¹⁵³⁷ the fruit²⁵⁹⁰ of his⁸⁴⁶ loins,³⁷⁵¹ according to²⁵⁹⁶ the flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ he would raise up⁴⁵⁰ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ to sit²⁵²³ on¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ throne;²³⁶²

31 He seeing this before⁴²⁷⁵ spake²⁹⁸⁰ of⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ resurrection³⁸⁶ of Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ soul⁵⁵⁹⁰ was not³⁷⁵⁶ left²⁶⁴¹ in¹⁵¹⁹ hell,⁸⁶ neither³⁷⁶¹ his⁸⁴⁶ flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ did see¹⁴⁹² corruption.¹³¹²

32 This⁵¹²⁶ Jesus²⁴²⁴ hath God²³¹⁶ raised up,⁴⁵⁰ whereof³⁷³⁹ we²²⁴⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ are²⁰⁷⁰ witnesses.³¹⁴⁴

33 Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ being by the³⁵⁸⁸ right hand¹¹⁸⁸ of God²³¹⁶ exalted,⁵³¹² and⁵⁰³⁷ having received²⁹⁸³ of³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Father³⁹⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ he hath shed forth¹⁶³² this,⁵¹²⁴ which³⁷³⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ now³⁵⁶⁸ see⁹⁹¹ and²⁵³² hear.¹⁹¹

34 For¹⁰⁶³ David¹¹³⁸ is not³⁷⁵⁶ ascended³⁰⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ heavens:³⁷⁷² but¹¹⁶¹ he⁸⁴⁶ saith³⁰⁰⁴ himself, The³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² said²⁰³⁶ unto my³⁴⁵⁰ Lord,²⁹⁶² Sit²⁵²¹ thou on¹⁵³⁷ my³⁴⁵⁰ right hand,¹¹⁸⁸

35 Until²¹⁹³ I make⁵⁰⁸⁷ ³⁰² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ foes²¹⁹⁰ thy footstool.⁵²⁸⁶ ⁴⁶⁷⁵ ⁴²²⁸

36 Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ let all³⁹⁵⁶ the house³⁶²⁴ of Israel²⁴⁷⁴ know¹⁰⁹⁷ assuredly,⁸⁰⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ hath made⁴¹⁶⁰ that same⁵¹²⁶ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ have crucified,⁴⁷¹⁷ both²⁵³² Lord²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

37 Now¹¹⁶¹ when they heard¹⁹¹ this, they were pricked²⁶⁶⁰ in their heart,²⁵⁸⁸ and⁵⁰³⁷ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ rest³⁰⁶² of the apostles,⁶⁵² Men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ what⁵¹⁰¹ shall we do?⁴¹⁶⁰

38 Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said⁵³⁴⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Repent,³³⁴⁰ and²⁵³² be baptized⁹⁰⁷ every one¹⁵³⁸ of you⁵²¹⁶ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ for¹⁵¹⁹ the remission⁸⁵⁹ of sins,²⁶⁶ and²⁵³² ye shall receive²⁹⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ gift¹⁴³¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

39 For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ is²⁰⁷⁶ unto you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² to your⁵²¹⁶ children,⁵⁰⁴³ and²⁵³² to all³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁵⁸⁸ are afar off,¹⁵¹⁹ ³¹¹² even as many as³⁷⁴⁵ ³⁰² the Lord²⁹⁶² our²²⁵⁷ God²³¹⁶ shall call.⁴³⁴¹

40 And⁵⁰³⁷ with many⁴¹¹⁹ other²⁰⁸⁷ words³⁰⁵⁶ did he testify¹²⁶³ and²⁵³² exhort,³⁸⁷⁰ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Save⁴⁹⁸² yourselves from⁵⁷⁵ this⁵⁰²⁶ untoward⁴⁶⁴⁶ generation.¹⁰⁷⁴

41 Then³⁷⁶⁷ they that gladly received⁵⁸⁸ ⁷⁸⁰ ³³⁰³ his⁸⁴⁶ word³⁰⁵⁶ were baptized:⁹⁰⁷ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ same¹⁵⁶⁵ day²²⁵⁰ there were added⁴³⁶⁹ unto them about⁵⁶¹⁶ three thousand⁵¹⁵³ souls.⁵⁵⁹⁰

42 And¹¹⁶¹ they continued steadfastly²²⁵⁸ ⁴³⁴² in the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles'⁶⁵² doctrine¹³²² and²⁵³² fellowship,²⁸⁴² and²⁵³² in breaking²⁸⁰⁰ of bread,⁷⁴⁰ and²⁵³² in prayers.⁴³³⁵

43 And¹¹⁶¹ fear⁵⁴⁰¹ came¹⁰⁹⁶ upon every³⁹⁵⁶ soul:⁵⁵⁹⁰ and⁵⁰³⁷ many⁴¹⁸³ wonders⁵⁰⁵⁹ and²⁵³² signs⁴⁵⁹² were done¹⁰⁹⁶ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles.⁶⁵²

44 And¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ that believed⁴¹⁰⁰ were²²⁵⁸ together,¹⁹⁰⁹ ⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² had²¹⁹² all things⁵³⁷ common;²⁸³⁹

45 And²⁵³² sold⁴⁰⁹⁷ their possessions²⁹³³ and²⁵³² goods,⁵²²³ and²⁵³² parted¹²⁶⁶ them⁸⁴⁶ to all³⁹⁵⁶ men, as²⁵³⁰ every man⁵¹⁰⁰ ³⁰² had²¹⁹² need.⁵⁵³²

46 And⁵⁰³⁷ they, continuing⁴³⁴² daily²⁵⁹⁶ ²²⁵⁰ with one accord³⁶⁶¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ and⁵⁰³⁷ breaking²⁸⁰⁶ bread⁷⁴⁰ from house to house,²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁶²⁴ did eat³³³⁵ their meat⁵¹⁶⁰ with¹⁷²² gladness²⁰ and²⁵³² singleness⁸⁵⁸ of heart,²⁵⁸⁸

47 Praising¹³⁴ God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² having²¹⁹² favor⁵⁴⁸⁵ with⁴³¹⁴ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ people.²⁹⁹² And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² added⁴³⁶⁹ to the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ daily²⁵⁹⁶ ²²⁵⁰ such as should be saved.⁴⁹⁸²

Acts 3: 1-26

1 Now¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² John²⁴⁹¹ went up³⁰⁵ together¹⁹⁰⁹ ⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ at¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ of prayer,⁴³³⁵ being the³⁵⁸⁸ ninth¹⁷⁶⁶ hour.

2 And²⁵³² a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man⁴³⁵ lame⁵⁵⁶⁰ from¹⁵³⁷ his⁸⁴⁸ mother's³³⁸⁴ womb²⁸³⁶ was carried,⁹⁴¹ whom³⁷³⁹ they laid⁵⁰⁸⁷ daily²⁵⁹⁶ ²²⁵⁰ at⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ gate²³⁷⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ which is called³⁰⁰⁴ Beautiful,⁵⁶¹¹ to ask¹⁵⁴ alms¹⁶⁵⁴ of³⁸⁴⁴ them that entered¹⁵³¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple;²⁴¹¹

3 Who³⁷³⁹ seeing¹⁴⁹² Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² John²⁴⁹¹ about³¹⁹⁵ to go¹⁵²⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ asked²⁰⁶⁵ an²⁹⁸³ alms.¹⁶⁵⁴

4 And¹¹⁶¹ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴ fastening his eyes⁸¹⁶ upon¹⁵¹⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ with⁴⁸⁶² John,²⁴⁹¹ said,²⁰³⁶ Look⁹⁹¹ on¹⁵¹⁹ us.²²⁴⁸

5 And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ gave heed¹⁹⁰⁷ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ expecting⁴³²⁸ to receive²⁹⁸³ something⁵¹⁰⁰ of³⁸⁴⁴ them.⁸⁴⁶

6 Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said,²⁰³⁶ Silver⁶⁹⁴ and²⁵³² gold⁵⁵⁵³ have⁵²²⁵ I³⁴²⁷ none;³⁷⁵⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ such³⁷³⁹ as I have²¹⁹² give¹³²⁵ I thee:⁴⁶⁷¹ In¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ of Nazareth³⁴⁸⁰ rise up¹⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² walk.⁴⁰⁴³

7 And²⁵³² he took⁴⁰⁸⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ by the³⁵⁸⁸ right¹¹⁸⁸ hand,⁵⁴⁹⁵ and lifted him up:¹⁴⁵³ and¹¹⁶¹ immediately³⁹¹⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ feet⁹³⁹ and²⁵³² ankle bones⁴⁹⁷⁴ received strength.⁴⁷³²

8 And²⁵³² he leaping up¹⁸¹⁴ stood,²⁴⁷⁶ and²⁵³² walked,⁴⁰⁴³ and²⁵³² entered¹⁵²⁵ with⁴⁸⁶² them⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ walking,⁴⁰⁴³ and²⁵³² leaping,²⁴² and²⁵³² praising¹³⁴ God.²³¹⁶

9 And²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² saw¹⁴⁹² him⁸⁴⁶ walking⁴⁰⁴³ and²⁵³² praising¹³⁴ God:²³¹⁶

10 And⁵⁰³⁷ they knew¹⁹²¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ it was²²⁵⁸ he³⁷⁷⁸ which sat²⁵²¹ for⁴³¹⁴ alms¹⁶⁵⁴ at¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Beautiful⁵⁶¹¹ gate⁴⁴³⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ temple:²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² they were filled⁴¹³⁰ with wonder²²⁸⁵ and²⁵³² amazement¹⁶¹¹ at¹⁹⁰⁹ that which had happened⁴⁸¹⁹ unto him.⁸⁴⁶

11 And¹¹⁶¹ as the³⁵⁸⁸ lame man⁵⁵⁶⁰ which was healed²³⁹⁰ held²⁹⁰² Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² John,²⁴⁹¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² ran together⁴⁹³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ porch⁴⁷⁴⁵ that is called²⁵⁶⁴ Solomon's,⁴⁶⁷² greatly wondering.¹⁵⁶⁹

12 And¹¹⁶¹ when Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ saw¹⁴⁹² it, he answered⁶¹¹ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² Ye men⁴³⁵ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁵ why⁵¹⁰¹ marvel²²⁹⁶ ye¹⁹⁰⁹ at this?⁵¹²⁹ or²²²⁸ why⁵¹⁰¹ look ye so earnestly⁸¹⁶ on us,²²⁵⁴ as though⁵⁶¹³ by our own²³⁹⁸ power¹⁴¹¹ or²²²⁸ holiness²¹⁵⁰ we had made⁴¹⁶⁰ this man⁸⁴⁶ to walk?⁴⁰⁴³

13 The³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of Abraham,¹¹ and²⁵³² of Isaac,²⁴⁶⁴ and²⁵³² of Jacob,²³⁸⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of our²²⁵⁷ fathers,³⁹⁶² hath glorified¹³⁹² his⁸⁴⁸ Son³⁸¹⁶ Jesus;²⁴²⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ delivered up,³⁸⁶⁰ and²⁵³² denied⁷²⁰ him⁸⁴⁶ in the presence²⁵⁹⁶ ⁴³⁸³ of Pilate,⁴⁰⁹¹ when he¹⁵⁶⁵ was determined²⁹¹⁹ to let him go.⁶³⁰

14 But¹¹⁶¹ ye⁵²¹⁰ denied⁷²⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy One⁴⁰ and²⁵³² the Just,¹³⁴² and²⁵³² desired¹⁵⁴ a⁴³⁵ murderer⁵⁴⁰⁶ to be granted⁵⁴⁸³ unto you;⁵²¹³

15 And¹¹⁶¹ killed⁶¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Prince⁷⁴⁷ of life,²²²² whom³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ hath raised¹⁴⁵³ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead;³⁴⁹⁸ whereof³⁷³⁹ we²²⁴⁹ are²⁰⁷⁰ witnesses.³¹⁴⁴

16 And²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ name³⁶⁸⁶ through¹⁹⁰⁹ faith⁴¹⁰² in his⁸⁴⁶ name³⁶⁸⁶ hath made this man strong,⁴⁷³² ⁵¹²⁶ whom³⁷³⁹ ye see²³³⁴ and²⁵³² know:¹⁴⁹² yea,²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ faith⁴¹⁰² which³⁵⁸⁸ is by¹²²³ him⁸⁴⁶ hath given¹³²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ this⁵⁰²⁶ perfect soundness³⁶⁴⁷ in the presence⁵⁶¹ of you⁵²¹⁶ all.³⁹⁵⁶

17 And²⁵³² now,³⁵⁶⁸ brethren,⁸⁰ I wot¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ through²⁵⁹⁶ ignorance⁵² ye did⁴²³⁸ it, as⁵⁶¹⁸ did also²⁵³² your⁵²¹⁶ rulers.⁷⁵⁸

18 But¹¹⁶¹ those things,³⁷³⁹ which God²³¹⁶ before had showed⁴²⁹³ by¹²²³ the mouth⁴⁷⁵⁰ of all³⁹⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ prophets,⁴³⁹⁶ that Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ should suffer,³⁹⁵⁸ he hath so³⁷⁷⁹ fulfilled.⁴¹³⁷

19 Repent³³⁴⁰ ye therefore,³⁷⁶⁷ and²⁵³² be converted,¹⁹⁹⁴ that your⁵²¹⁶ sins²⁶⁶ may be blotted out,¹⁸¹³ when³⁷⁰⁴ the times²⁵⁴⁰ of refreshing⁴⁰³ shall come²⁰⁶⁴ ³⁰² from⁵⁷⁵ the presence⁴³⁸³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord;²⁹⁶²

20 And²⁵³² he shall send⁶⁴⁹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ which before was preached⁴²⁹⁶ unto you:⁵²¹³

21 Whom³⁷³⁹ the heaven³⁷⁷² must¹¹⁶³ ³³⁰³ receive¹²⁰⁹ until⁸⁹¹ the times⁵⁵⁵⁰ of restitution⁶⁰⁵ of all things,³⁹⁵⁶ which³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ hath spoken²⁹⁸⁰ by¹²²³ the mouth⁴⁷⁵⁰ of all³⁹⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ holy⁴⁰ prophets⁴³⁹⁶ since the world began.⁵⁷⁵ ¹⁶⁵

22 For¹⁰⁶³ Moses³⁴⁷⁵ truly³³⁰³ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ fathers,³⁹⁶² A prophet⁴³⁹⁶ shall the Lord²⁹⁶² your⁵²¹⁶ God²³¹⁶ raise up⁴⁵⁰ unto you⁵²¹³ of¹⁵³⁷ your⁵²¹⁶ brethren,⁸⁰ like unto⁵⁶¹³ me;¹⁶⁹¹ him⁸⁴⁶ shall ye hear¹⁹¹ in²⁵⁹⁶ all things³⁹⁵⁶ whatsoever³⁷⁴⁵ ³⁰² he shall say²⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ you.⁵²⁰⁹

23 And¹¹⁶¹ it shall come to pass,²⁰⁷¹ that every³⁹⁵⁶ soul,⁵⁵⁹⁰ which³⁷⁴⁸ will not³³⁶¹ hear¹⁹¹ ³⁰² that¹⁵⁶⁵ prophet,⁴³⁹⁶ shall be destroyed¹⁸⁴² from¹⁵³⁷ among the³⁵⁸⁸ people.²⁹⁹²

24 Yea,¹¹⁶¹ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets⁴³⁹⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ Samuel⁴⁵⁴⁵ and²⁵³² those that follow after,²⁵¹⁷ as many as³⁷⁴⁵ have spoken,²⁹⁸⁰ have likewise²⁵³² foretold⁴²⁹³ of these⁵⁰²⁵ days.²²⁵⁰

25 Ye⁵²¹⁰ are²⁰⁷⁵ the children⁵²⁰⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets,⁴³⁹⁶ and²⁵³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ covenant¹²⁴² which³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ made¹³⁰³ with⁴³¹⁴ our²²⁵⁷ fathers,³⁹⁶² saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ Abraham,¹¹ And²⁵³² in thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ seed⁴⁶⁹⁰ shall all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ kindreds³⁹⁶⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ be blessed.¹⁷⁵⁷

26 Unto you⁵²¹³ first⁴⁴¹² God,²³¹⁶ having raised up⁴⁵⁰ his⁸⁴⁸ Son³⁸¹⁶ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ sent⁶⁴⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ to bless²¹²⁷ you,⁵²⁰⁹ in turning away⁶⁵⁴ every one¹⁵³⁸ of you from⁵⁷⁵ his⁵²¹⁶ iniquities.⁴¹⁸⁹

Acts 4: 1-37

1 And¹¹⁶¹ as they⁸⁴⁶ spake²⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ priests,²⁴⁰⁹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ captain⁴⁷⁵⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ Sadducees,⁴⁵²³ came upon²¹⁸⁶ them,⁸⁴⁶

2 Being grieved¹²⁷⁸ that they⁸⁴⁶ taught¹³²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² preached²⁶⁰⁵ through¹⁷²² Jesus²⁴²⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ resurrection³⁸⁶ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead.³⁴⁹⁸

3 And²⁵³² they laid hands on¹⁹¹¹ ⁵⁴⁹⁵ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² put⁵⁰⁸⁷ them in¹⁵¹⁹ hold⁵⁰⁸⁴ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ next day:⁸³⁹ for¹⁰⁶³ it was²²⁵⁸ now²²³⁵ eventide.²⁰⁷³

4 Howbeit¹¹⁶¹ many⁴¹⁸³ of them which heard¹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ believed;⁴¹⁰⁰ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ number⁷⁰⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ men⁴³⁵ was¹⁰⁹⁶ about⁵⁶¹⁶ five⁴⁰⁰² thousand.⁵⁵⁰⁵

5 And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow,⁸³⁹ that their⁸⁴⁶ rulers,⁷⁵⁸ and²⁵³² elders,⁴²⁴⁵ and²⁵³² scribes,¹¹²²

6 And²⁵³² Annas⁴⁵² the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest,⁷⁴⁹ and²⁵³² Caiaphas,²⁵³³ and²⁵³² John,²⁴⁹¹ and²⁵³² Alexander,²²³ and²⁵³² as many as³⁷⁴⁵ were²²⁵⁸ of¹⁵³⁷ the kindred¹⁰⁸⁵ of the high priest,⁷⁴⁸ were gathered together⁴⁸⁶³ at¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem.²⁴¹⁹

7 And²⁵³² when they had set²⁴⁷⁶ them⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ midst,³³¹⁹ they asked,⁴⁴⁴¹ By¹⁷²² what⁴¹⁶⁹ power,¹⁴¹¹ or²²²⁸ by¹⁷²² what⁴¹⁶⁹ name,³⁶⁸⁶ have ye⁵²¹⁰ done⁴¹⁶⁰ this?⁵¹²⁴

8 Then⁵¹¹⁹ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴ filled⁴¹³⁰ with the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Ye rulers⁷⁵⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² elders⁴²⁴⁵ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴

9 If¹⁴⁸⁷ we²²⁴⁹ this day⁴⁵⁹⁴ be examined³⁵⁰ of¹⁹⁰⁹ the good deed done²¹⁰⁸ to the impotent⁷⁷² man,⁴⁴⁴ by¹⁷²² what means⁵¹⁰¹ he³⁷⁷⁸ is made whole;⁴⁹⁸²

10 Be²⁰⁷⁷ it known¹¹¹⁰ unto you⁵²¹³ all,³⁹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² to all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ of Nazareth,³⁴⁸⁰ whom³⁷³⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ crucified,⁴⁷¹⁷ whom³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ raised¹⁴⁵³ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead,³⁴⁹⁸ even by¹⁷²² him⁵¹²⁹ doth this man³⁷⁷⁸ stand³⁹³⁶ here before¹⁷⁹⁹ you⁵²¹⁶ whole.⁵¹⁹⁹

11 This³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ stone³⁰³⁷ which was set at naught¹⁸⁴⁸ of⁵²⁵⁹ you⁵²¹⁶ builders,³⁶¹⁸ which is become¹⁰⁹⁶ the¹⁵¹⁹ head²⁷⁷⁶ of the corner.¹¹³⁷

12 Neither²⁵³² ³⁷⁵⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ there salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ in¹⁷²² any³⁷⁶² other:²⁴³ for¹⁰⁶³ there is²⁰⁷⁶ none³⁷⁷⁷ other²⁰⁸⁷ name³⁶⁸⁶ under⁵²⁵⁹ heaven³⁷⁷² given¹³²⁵ among¹⁷²² men,⁴⁴⁴ whereby¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ we²²⁴⁸ must¹¹⁶³ be saved.⁴⁹⁸²

13 Now¹¹⁶¹ when they saw²³³⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ boldness³⁹⁵⁴ of Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² John,²⁴⁹¹ and²⁵³² perceived²⁶³⁸ that³⁷⁵⁴ they were¹⁵²⁶ unlearned⁶² and²⁵³² ignorant²³⁹⁹ men,⁴⁴⁴ they marveled;²²⁹⁶ and⁵⁰³⁷ they took knowledge¹⁹²¹ of them,⁸⁴⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ they had been²²⁵⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² Jesus.²⁴²⁴

14 And¹¹⁶¹ beholding⁹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ which was healed²³²³ standing²⁴⁷⁶ with⁴⁸⁶² them,⁸⁴⁶ they could²¹⁹² say nothing against⁴⁷¹ ³⁷⁶² it.

15 But¹¹⁶¹ when they had commanded²⁷⁵³ them⁸⁴⁶ to go aside⁵⁶⁵ out¹⁸⁵⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸⁹² they conferred⁴⁸²⁰ among⁴³¹⁴ themselves,²⁴⁰

16 Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ What⁵¹⁰¹ shall we do⁴¹⁶⁰ to these⁵¹²⁵ men?⁴⁴⁴ for¹⁰⁶³ that³⁷⁵⁴ indeed³³⁰³ a notable¹¹¹⁰ miracle⁴⁵⁹² hath been done¹⁰⁹⁶ by¹²²³ them⁸⁴⁶ is manifest⁵³¹⁸ to all³⁹⁵⁶ them that dwell²⁷³⁰ in Jerusalem;²⁴¹⁹ and²⁵³² we cannot¹⁴¹⁰ ³⁷⁵⁶ deny⁷²⁰ it.

17 But²³⁵ that²⁴⁴³ it spread¹²⁶⁸ no³³⁶¹ further¹⁹⁰⁹ ⁴¹¹⁹ among¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² let us straitly threaten⁵⁴⁶ ⁵⁴⁷ them,⁸⁴⁶ that they speak²⁹⁸⁰ henceforth³³⁷¹ to no³³⁶⁷ man⁴⁴⁴ in¹⁹⁰⁹ this⁵¹²⁷ name.³⁶⁸⁶

18 And²⁵³² they called²⁵⁶⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ and commanded³⁸⁵³ them⁸⁴⁶ not³³⁶¹ to speak⁵³⁵⁰ at all²⁵²⁷ nor³³⁶⁶ teach¹³²¹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus.²⁴²⁴

19 But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² John²⁴⁹¹ answered⁶¹¹ and said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Whether¹⁴⁸⁷ it be²⁰⁷⁶ right¹³⁴² in the sight¹⁷⁹⁹ of God²³¹⁶ to hearken¹⁹¹ unto you⁵²¹⁶ more³¹²³ than²²²⁸ unto God,²³¹⁶ judge²⁹¹⁹ ye.

20 For¹⁰⁶³ we²²⁴⁹ cannot¹⁴¹⁰ ³⁷⁵⁶ but³³⁶¹ speak²⁹⁸⁰ the things which³⁷³⁹ we have seen¹⁴⁹² and²⁵³² heard.¹⁹¹

21 So¹¹⁶¹ when they³⁵⁸⁸ had further threatened⁴³²⁴ them, they let them go,⁶³⁰ ⁸⁴⁶ finding²¹⁴⁷ nothing³³⁶⁷ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ they might punish²⁸⁴⁹ them,⁸⁴⁶ because¹²²³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ people:²⁹⁹² for³⁷⁵⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ men glorified¹³⁹² God²³¹⁶ for¹⁹⁰⁹ that which was done.¹⁰⁹⁶

22 For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ was²²⁵⁸ above⁴¹¹⁹ forty⁵⁰⁶² years old,²⁰⁹⁴ on¹⁹⁰⁹ whom³⁷³⁹ this⁵¹²⁴ miracle⁴⁵⁹² of healing²³⁹² was showed.¹⁰⁹⁶

23 And¹¹⁶¹ being let go,⁶³⁰ they went²⁰⁶⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ their own company,²³⁹⁸ and²⁵³² reported⁵¹⁸ all that³⁷⁴⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests⁷⁴⁹ and²⁵³² elders⁴²⁴⁵ had said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them.⁸⁴⁶

24 And¹¹⁶¹ when they³⁵⁸⁸ heard¹⁹¹ that, they lifted up¹⁴² their voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ to⁴³¹⁴ God²³¹⁶ with one accord,³⁶⁶¹ and²⁵³² said,²⁰³⁶ Lord,¹²⁰³ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ art God,²³¹⁶ which hast made⁴¹⁶⁰ heaven,³⁷⁷² and²⁵³² earth,¹⁰⁹³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ sea,²²⁸¹ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁵⁸⁸ in¹⁷²² them⁸⁴⁶ is:

25 Who by¹²²³ the mouth⁴⁷⁵⁰ of thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ servant³⁸¹⁶ David¹¹³⁸ hast said,²⁰³⁶ Why²⁴⁴⁴ did the heathen¹⁴⁸⁴ rage,⁵⁴³³ and²⁵³² the people²⁹⁹² imagine³¹⁹¹ vain things?²⁷⁵⁶

26 The³⁵⁸⁸ kings⁹³⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ stood up,³⁹³⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ rulers⁷⁵⁸ were gathered⁴⁸⁶³ together¹⁹⁰⁹ ⁸⁴⁶ against²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² against²⁵⁹⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

27 For¹⁰⁶³ of¹⁹⁰⁹ a truth²²⁵ against¹⁹⁰⁹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ holy⁴⁰ child³⁸¹⁶ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ thou hast anointed,⁵⁵⁴⁸ both⁵⁰³⁷ Herod,²²⁶⁴ and²⁵³² Pontius⁴¹⁹⁴ Pilate,⁴⁰⁹¹ with⁴⁸⁶² the Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² the people²⁹⁹² of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ were gathered together,⁴⁸⁶³

28 For to do⁴¹⁶⁰ whatsoever³⁷⁴⁵ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ and²⁵³² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ counsel¹⁰¹² determined before⁴³⁰⁹ to be done.¹⁰⁹⁶

29 And²⁵³² now,³⁵⁶⁹ Lord,²⁹⁶² behold¹⁸⁹⁶ ¹⁹⁰⁹ their⁸⁴⁶ threatenings:⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² grant¹³²⁵ unto thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ servants,¹⁴⁰¹ that with³³²⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ boldness³⁹⁵⁴ they may speak²⁹⁸⁰ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ word,³⁰⁵⁶

30 By⁴⁵⁷¹ stretching forth¹⁶¹⁴ thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ heal;²³⁹² and²⁵³² that signs⁴⁵⁹² and²⁵³² wonders⁵⁰⁵⁹ may be done¹⁰⁹⁶ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ holy⁴⁰ child³⁸¹⁶ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

31 And²⁵³² when they⁸⁴⁶ had prayed,¹¹⁸⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ place⁵¹¹⁷ was shaken⁴⁵³¹ where¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ they were²²⁵⁸ assembled together;⁴⁸⁶³ and²⁵³² they were all⁵³⁷ filled⁴¹³⁰ with the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² they spake²⁹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²³¹⁶ with³³²⁶ boldness.³⁹⁵⁴

32 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude⁴¹²⁸ of them that believed⁴¹⁰⁰ were²²⁵⁸ of one³³⁹¹ heart²⁵⁸⁸ and²⁵³² of one soul:⁵⁵⁹⁰ neither²⁵³² ³⁷⁶¹ said³⁰⁰⁴ any¹⁵²⁰ of them that aught⁵¹⁰⁰ of the things which he possessed⁵²²⁴ ⁸⁴⁶ was¹⁵¹¹ his own;²³⁹⁸ but²³⁵ they⁸⁴⁶ had²²⁵⁸ all things⁵³⁷ common.²⁸³⁹

33 And²⁵³² with great³¹⁷³ power¹⁴¹¹ gave⁵⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² witness³¹⁴² of the³⁵⁸⁸ resurrection³⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus:²⁴²⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ great³¹⁷³ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ was²²⁵⁸ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ them⁸⁴⁶ all.³⁹⁵⁶

34 ¹⁰⁶³ Neither³⁷⁶¹ was⁵²²⁵ there any⁵¹⁰⁰ among¹⁷²² them⁸⁴⁶ that lacked:¹⁷²⁹ for¹⁰⁶³ as many as³⁷⁴⁵ were⁵²²⁵ possessors²⁹³⁵ of lands⁵⁵⁶⁴ or²²²⁸ houses³⁶¹⁴ sold⁴⁴⁵³ them, and brought⁵³⁴² the³⁵⁸⁸ prices⁵⁰⁹² of the things that were sold,⁴⁰⁹⁷

35 And²⁵³² laid them down⁵⁰⁸⁷ at³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles'⁶⁵² feet:⁴²²⁸ and¹¹⁶¹ distribution was made¹²³⁹ unto every man¹⁵³⁸ according as²⁵³⁰ ³⁰² he⁵¹⁰⁰ had²¹⁹² need.⁵⁵³²

36 And¹¹⁶¹ Joses,²⁵⁰⁰ who³⁵⁸⁸ by⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² was surnamed¹⁹⁴¹ Barnabas,⁹²¹ (which is,³⁶⁰³ being interpreted,³¹⁷⁷ The son⁵²⁰⁷ of consolation,) a³⁸⁷⁴ Levite,³⁰¹⁹ and of the country of Cyprus,¹⁰⁸⁵ ²⁹⁵³

37 Having⁵²²⁵ land,⁶⁸ sold⁴⁴⁵³ it, and brought⁵³⁴² the³⁵⁸⁸ money,⁵⁵³⁶ and²⁵³² laid⁵⁰⁸⁷ it at³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles'⁶⁵² feet.⁴²²⁸

Acts 5: 1-42

1 But¹¹⁶¹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man⁴³⁵ named³⁶⁸⁶ Ananias,³⁶⁷ with⁴⁸⁶² Sapphira⁴⁵⁵¹ his⁸⁴⁸ wife,¹¹³⁵ sold⁴⁴⁵³ a possession,²⁹³³

2 And²⁵³² kept back³⁵⁵⁷ part of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ price,⁵⁰⁹² his⁸⁴⁶ wife¹¹³⁵ also²⁵³² being privy⁴⁸⁹⁴ to it, and²⁵³² brought⁵³⁴² a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ part,³³¹³ and laid⁵⁰⁸⁷ it at³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles'⁶⁵² feet.⁴²²⁸

3 But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said,²⁰³⁶ Ananias,³⁶⁷ why¹³⁰² hath Satan⁴⁵⁶⁷ filled⁴¹³⁷ thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ heart²⁵⁸⁸ to lie⁵⁵⁷⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² to keep back³⁵⁵⁷ part of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ price⁵⁰⁹² of the³⁵⁸⁸ land?⁵⁵⁶⁴

4 While it remained,³³⁰⁶ was it not thine own?³³⁰⁶ ³⁷⁸⁰ ⁴⁶⁷¹ and²⁵³² after it was sold,⁴⁰⁹⁷ was⁵²²⁵ it not in¹⁷²² thine own⁴⁶⁷⁴ power?¹⁸⁴⁹ ³⁷⁵⁴ why⁵¹⁰¹ hast thou conceived⁵⁰⁸⁷ this⁵¹²⁴ thing⁴²²⁹ in¹⁷²² thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ heart?²⁵⁸⁸ thou hast not³⁷⁵⁶ lied⁵⁵⁷⁴ unto men,⁴⁴⁴ but²³⁵ unto God.²³¹⁶

5 And¹¹⁶¹ Ananias³⁶⁷ hearing¹⁹¹ these⁵¹²⁸ words³⁰⁵⁶ fell down,⁴⁰⁹⁸ and gave up the ghost:¹⁶³⁴ and²⁵³² great³¹⁷³ fear⁵⁴⁰¹ came¹⁰⁹⁶ on¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ them that heard¹⁹¹ these things.⁵⁰²³

6 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ young men³⁵⁰¹ arose,⁴⁵⁰ wound him up,⁴⁹⁵⁸ ⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² carried him out,¹⁶²⁷ and buried²²⁹⁰ him.

7 And¹¹⁶¹ it was¹⁰⁹⁶ about⁵⁶¹³ the space¹²⁹² of three⁵¹⁴⁰ hours⁵⁶¹⁰ after, when²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ wife,¹¹³⁵ not³³⁶¹ knowing¹⁴⁹² what was done,¹⁰⁹⁶ came in.¹⁵²⁵

8 And¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ answered⁶¹¹ unto her,⁸⁴⁶ Tell²⁰³⁶ me³⁴²⁷ whether¹⁴⁸⁷ ye sold⁵⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ land⁵⁵⁶⁴ for so much?⁵¹¹⁸ And¹¹⁶¹ she³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ Yea,³⁴⁸³ for so much.⁵¹¹⁸

9 Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ her,⁸⁴⁶ How⁵¹⁰¹ is it that³⁷⁵⁴ ye⁵²¹³ have agreed together⁴⁸⁵⁶ to tempt³⁹⁸⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of the Lord?²⁹⁶² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ feet⁴²²⁸ of them which have buried²²⁹⁰ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ husband⁴³⁵ are at¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ door,²³⁷⁴ and²⁵³² shall carry thee out.¹⁶²⁷ ⁴⁵⁷¹

10 Then¹¹⁶¹ fell she down⁴⁰⁹⁸ straightway³⁹¹⁶ at³⁸⁴⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ feet,⁴²²⁸ and²⁵³² yielded up the ghost:¹⁶³⁴ and¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ young men³⁴⁹⁵ came in,¹⁵²⁵ and found²¹⁴⁷ her⁸⁴⁶ dead,³⁴⁹⁸ and,²⁵³² carrying her forth,¹⁶²⁷ buried²²⁹⁰ her by⁴³¹⁴ her⁸⁴⁶ husband.⁴³⁵

11 And²⁵³² great³¹⁷³ fear⁵⁴⁰¹ came¹⁰⁹⁶ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ and²⁵³² upon¹⁹⁰⁹ as many as³⁹⁵⁶ heard¹⁹¹ these things.⁵⁰²³

12 And¹¹⁶¹ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² were many⁴¹⁸³ signs⁴⁵⁹² and²⁵³² wonders⁵⁰⁵⁹ wrought¹⁰⁹⁶ among¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ people;²⁹⁹² (and²⁵³² they were²²⁵⁸ all⁵³⁷ with one accord³⁶⁶¹ in¹⁷²² Solomon's⁴⁶⁷² porch.⁴⁷⁴⁵

13 And¹¹⁶¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ rest³⁰⁶² durst⁵¹¹¹ no man³⁷⁶² join²⁸⁵³ himself to them:⁸⁴⁶ but²³⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² magnified³¹⁷⁰ them.⁸⁴⁶

14 And¹¹⁶¹ believers⁴¹⁰⁰ were the more³¹²³ added⁴³⁶⁹ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² multitudes⁴¹²⁸ both⁵⁰³⁷ of men⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² women.)¹¹³⁵

15 Insomuch that⁵⁶²⁰ they brought forth¹⁶²⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ sick⁷⁷² into²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ streets,⁴¹¹³ and²⁵³² laid⁵⁰⁸⁷ them on¹⁹⁰⁹ beds²⁸²⁵ and²⁵³² couches,²⁸⁹⁵ that²⁴⁴³ at the least²⁵⁷⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ shadow⁴⁶³⁹ of Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ passing by²⁰⁶⁴ might overshadow¹⁹⁸² some⁵¹⁰⁰ of them.⁸⁴⁶

16 ¹¹⁶¹ There came⁴⁹⁰⁵ also²⁵³² a multitude⁴¹²⁸ out of the³⁵⁸⁸ cities⁴¹⁷² round about⁴⁰³⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ bringing⁵³⁴² sick folks,⁷⁷² and²⁵³² them which were vexed³⁷⁹¹ with⁵²⁵⁹ unclean¹⁶⁹ spirits:⁴¹⁵¹ and they³⁷⁴⁸ were healed²³²³ every one.⁵³⁷

17 Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest⁷⁴⁹ rose up,⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ they³⁵⁸⁸ that were with⁴⁸⁶² him,⁸⁴⁶ (which is⁵⁶⁰⁷ the sect¹³⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Sadducees,)⁴⁵²³ and were filled⁴¹³⁰ with indignation,²²⁰⁵

18 And²⁵³² laid¹⁹¹¹ their⁸⁴⁶ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles,⁶⁵² and²⁵³² put⁵⁰⁸⁷ them⁸⁴⁸ in¹⁷²² the common¹²¹⁹ prison.⁵⁰⁸⁴

19 But¹¹⁶¹ the angel³² of the Lord²⁹⁶² by¹²²³ night³⁵⁷¹ opened⁴⁵⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ prison⁵⁴³⁸ doors,²³⁷⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ brought them forth,¹⁸⁰⁶ ⁸⁴⁶ and said,²⁰³⁶

20 Go,⁴¹⁹⁸ ²⁵³² stand²⁴⁷⁶ and speak²⁹⁸⁰ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ to the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ words⁴⁴⁸⁷ of this⁵⁰²⁶ life.²²²²

21 And¹¹⁶¹ when they heard¹⁹¹ that, they entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ early in the morning,⁵²⁵⁹ ³⁷²² and²⁵³² taught.¹³²¹ But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest⁷⁴⁹ came,³⁸⁵⁴ and²⁵³² they³⁵⁸⁸ that were with⁴⁸⁶² him,⁸⁴⁶ and called the council together,⁴⁷⁷⁹ ³⁵⁸⁸ ⁴⁸⁹² and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ senate¹⁰⁸⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ and²⁵³² sent⁶⁴⁹ to¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ prison¹²⁰¹ to have them⁸⁴⁶ brought.⁷¹

22 But¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ officers⁵²⁵⁷ came,³⁸⁵⁴ and found²¹⁴⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ prison,⁵⁴³⁸ they¹¹⁶¹ returned,³⁹⁰ and told,⁵¹⁸

23 Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ The³⁵⁸⁸ prison¹²⁰¹ truly³³⁰³ found²¹⁴⁷ we shut²⁸⁰⁸ with¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ safety,⁸⁰³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ keepers⁵⁴⁴¹ standing²⁴⁷⁶ without¹⁸⁵⁴ before⁴²⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ doors:²³⁷⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ when we had opened,⁴⁵⁵ we found²¹⁴⁷ no man³⁷⁶² within.²⁰⁸⁰

24 Now¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ the⁵⁰³⁷ ³⁷³⁹ high priest²⁴⁰⁹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ captain⁴⁷⁵⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests⁷⁴⁹ heard¹⁹¹ these⁵¹²⁸ things,³⁰⁵⁶ they doubted¹²⁸⁰ of⁴⁰¹² them⁸⁴⁶ whereunto⁵¹⁰¹ this⁵¹²⁴ would grow.¹⁰⁹⁶ ³⁰²

25 Then¹¹⁶¹ came³⁸⁵⁴ one⁵¹⁰⁰ and told⁵¹⁸ them,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ men⁴³⁵ whom³⁷³⁹ ye put⁵⁰⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² prison⁵⁴³⁸ are¹⁵²⁶ standing²⁴⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² teaching¹³²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people.²⁹⁹²

26 Then⁵¹¹⁹ went⁵⁶⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ captain⁴⁷⁵⁵ with⁴⁸⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ officers,⁵²⁵⁷ and brought⁷¹ them⁸⁴⁶ without³³²⁶ ³⁷⁵⁶ violence:⁹⁷⁰ for¹⁰⁶³ they feared⁵³⁹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² lest³³⁶³ they should have been stoned.³⁰³⁴

27 And¹¹⁶¹ when they had brought⁷¹ them,⁸⁴⁶ they set²⁴⁷⁶ them before¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ council:⁴⁸⁹² and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest⁷⁴⁹ asked¹⁹⁰⁵ them,⁸⁴⁶

28 Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Did not³⁷⁵⁶ we straitly command³⁸⁵³ ³⁸⁵² you⁵²¹³ that ye should not³³⁶¹ teach¹³²¹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ this⁵¹²⁹ name?³⁶⁸⁶ and,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ ye have filled⁴¹³⁷ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ with your⁵²¹⁶ doctrine,¹³²² and²⁵³² intend¹⁰¹⁴ to bring¹⁸⁶³ this⁵¹²⁷ man's⁴⁴⁴ blood¹²⁹ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ us.²²⁴⁸

29 Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ other apostles⁶⁵² answered⁶¹¹ and said,²⁰³⁶ We ought¹¹⁶³ to obey³⁹⁸⁰ God²³¹⁶ rather³¹²³ than²²²⁸ men.⁴⁴⁴

30 The³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of our²²⁵⁷ fathers³⁹⁶² raised up¹⁴⁵³ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ slew¹³¹⁵ and hanged²⁹¹⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ a tree.³⁵⁸⁶

31 Him⁵¹²⁶ hath God²³¹⁶ exalted⁵³¹² with his⁸⁴⁸ right hand¹¹⁸⁸ to be a Prince⁷⁴⁷ and²⁵³² a Savior,⁴⁹⁹⁰ for to give¹³²⁵ repentance³³⁴¹ to Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ and²⁵³² forgiveness⁸⁵⁹ of sins.²⁶⁶

32 And²⁵³² we²²⁴⁹ are²⁰⁷⁰ his⁸⁴⁶ witnesses³¹⁴⁴ of these⁵¹³⁰ things;⁴⁴⁸⁷ and²⁵³² so is also¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ whom³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ hath given¹³²⁵ to them that obey³⁹⁸⁰ him.⁸⁴⁶

33 When¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ heard¹⁹¹ that, they were cut¹²⁸² to the heart, and²⁵³² took counsel¹⁰¹¹ to slay³³⁷ them.⁸⁴⁶

34 Then¹¹⁶¹ stood there up⁴⁵⁰ one⁵¹⁰⁰ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸⁹² a Pharisee,⁵³³⁰ named³⁶⁸⁶ Gamaliel,¹⁰⁵⁹ a doctor of the law,³⁵⁴⁷ had in reputation⁵⁰⁹³ among all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and commanded²⁷⁵³ to put⁴¹⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² forth¹⁸⁵⁴ a little space;¹⁰²⁴ ⁵¹⁰⁰

35 And⁵⁰³⁷ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Ye men⁴³⁵ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁵ take heed⁴³³⁷ to yourselves¹⁴³⁸ what⁵¹⁰¹ ye intend³¹⁹⁵ to do⁴²³⁸ as touching¹⁹⁰⁹ these⁵¹²⁵ men.⁴⁴⁴

36 For¹⁰⁶³ before⁴²⁵³ these⁵¹³⁰ days²²⁵⁰ rose up⁴⁵⁰ Theudas,²³³³ boasting³⁰⁰⁴ himself¹⁴³⁸ to be¹⁵¹¹ somebody;⁵¹⁰⁰ to whom³⁷³⁹ a number⁷⁰⁶ of men,⁴³⁵ about⁵⁶¹⁶ four hundred,⁵⁰⁷¹ joined⁴³⁴⁷ themselves: who³⁷³⁹ was slain;³³⁷ and²⁵³² all,³⁹⁵⁶ as many as³⁷⁴⁵ obeyed³⁹⁸² him,⁸⁴⁶ were scattered,¹²⁶² and²⁵³² brought¹⁰⁹⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ naught.³⁷⁶²

37 After³³²⁶ this man⁵¹²⁶ rose up⁴⁵⁰ Judas²⁴⁵⁵ of Galilee¹⁰⁵⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ days²²⁵⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ taxing,⁵⁸² and²⁵³² drew away⁸⁶⁸ much²⁴²⁵ people²⁹⁹² after³⁶⁹⁴ him:⁸⁴⁸ he also²⁵⁴⁸ perished;⁶²² and²⁵³² all,³⁹⁵⁶ even as many as³⁷⁴⁵ obeyed³⁹⁸² him,⁸⁴⁶ were dispersed.¹²⁸⁷

38 And²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ Refrain⁸⁶⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ these⁵¹³⁰ men,⁴⁴⁴ and²⁵³² let them alone:¹⁴³⁹ ⁸⁴⁶ for³⁷⁵⁴ if¹⁴³⁷ this³⁷⁷⁸ counsel¹⁰¹² or²²²⁸ this⁵¹²⁴ work²⁰⁴¹ be⁵⁶⁰⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ men,⁴⁴⁴ it will come to nought:²⁶⁴⁷

39 But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ it be²⁰⁷⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ God,²³¹⁶ ye cannot¹⁴¹⁰ ³⁷⁵⁶ overthrow²⁶⁴⁷ it;⁸⁴⁶ lest haply³³⁷⁹ ye be found²¹⁴⁷ even²⁵³² to fight against God.²³¹⁴

40 And¹¹⁶¹ to him⁸⁴⁶ they agreed:³⁹⁸² and²⁵³² when they had called⁴³⁴¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles,⁶⁵² and beaten¹¹⁹⁴ them, they commanded³⁸⁵³ that they should not³³⁶¹ speak²⁹⁸⁰ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus,²⁴²⁴ and²⁵³² let them go.⁶³⁰ ⁸⁴⁶

41 And³⁷⁶⁷ ³³⁰³ they³⁵⁸⁸ departed⁴¹⁹⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ the presence⁴³⁸³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸⁹² rejoicing⁵⁴⁶³ that³⁷⁵⁴ they were counted worthy²⁶⁶¹ to suffer shame⁸¹⁸ for⁵²²⁸ his⁸⁴⁶ name.³⁶⁸⁶

42 And⁵⁰³⁷ daily³⁹⁵⁶ ²²⁵⁰ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² in every house,²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁶²⁴ they ceased³⁹⁷³ not³⁷⁵⁶ to teach¹³²¹ and²⁵³² preach²⁰⁹⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

Acts 6: 1-15

1 And¹¹⁶¹ in¹⁷²² those⁵⁰²⁵ days,²²⁵⁰ when the number of the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ were multiplied,⁴¹²⁹ there arose¹⁰⁹⁶ a murmuring¹¹¹² of the³⁵⁸⁸ Grecians¹⁶⁷⁵ against⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Hebrews,¹⁴⁴⁵ because³⁷⁵⁴ their⁸⁴⁶ widows⁵⁵⁰³ were neglected³⁸⁶⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ daily²⁵²² ministration.¹²⁴⁸

2 Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ twelve¹⁴²⁷ called⁴³⁴¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude⁴¹²⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ unto them, and said,²⁰³⁶ It is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ reason⁷⁰¹ that we²²⁴⁸ should leave²⁶⁴¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God,²³¹⁶ and serve¹²⁴⁷ tables.⁵¹³²

3 Wherefore,³⁷⁶⁷ brethren,⁸⁰ look ye out¹⁹⁸⁰ among¹⁵³⁷ you⁵²¹⁶ seven²⁰³³ men⁴³⁵ of honest report,³¹⁴⁰ full⁴¹³⁴ of the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² wisdom,⁴⁶⁷⁸ whom³⁷³⁹ we may appoint²⁵²⁵ over¹⁹⁰⁹ this⁵⁰²⁶ business.⁵⁵³²

4 But¹¹⁶¹ we²²⁴⁹ will give ourselves continually⁴³⁴² to prayer,⁴³³⁵ and²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ ministry¹²⁴⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ word.³⁰⁵⁶

5 And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ saying³⁰⁵⁶ pleased⁷⁰⁰ the¹⁷⁹⁹ whole³⁹⁵⁶ multitude:⁴¹²⁸ and²⁵³² they chose¹⁵⁸⁶ Stephen,⁴⁷³⁶ a man⁴³⁵ full⁴¹³⁴ of faith⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² of the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ and²⁵³² Prochorus,⁴⁴⁰² and²⁵³² Nicanor,³⁵²⁷ and²⁵³² Timon,⁵⁰⁹⁶ and²⁵³² Parmenas,³⁹³⁷ and²⁵³² Nicolas³⁵³² a proselyte⁴³³⁹ of Antioch:⁴⁹¹

6 Whom³⁷³⁹ they set²⁴⁷⁶ before¹⁷⁹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles:⁶⁵² and²⁵³² when they had prayed,⁴³³⁶ they laid their hands on²⁰⁰⁷ ⁵⁴⁹⁵ them.⁸⁴⁶

7 And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²³¹⁶ increased;⁸³⁷ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ number⁷⁰⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ multiplied⁴¹²⁹ in¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ greatly;⁴⁹⁷⁰ and⁵⁰³⁷ a great⁴¹⁸³ company³⁷⁹³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ priests²⁴⁰⁹ were obedient⁵²¹⁹ to the³⁵⁸⁸ faith.⁴¹⁰²

8 And¹¹⁶¹ Stephen,⁴⁷³⁶ full⁴¹³⁴ of faith⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² power,¹⁴¹¹ did⁴¹⁶⁰ great³¹⁷³ wonders⁵⁰⁵⁹ and²⁵³² miracles⁴⁵⁹² among¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ people.²⁹⁹²

9 Then¹¹⁶¹ there arose⁴⁵⁰ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue,⁴⁸⁶⁴ which is called³⁰⁰⁴ the synagogue of the Libertines,³⁰³² and²⁵³² Cyrenians,²⁹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² Alexandrians,²²¹ and²⁵³² of them³⁵⁸⁸ of⁵⁷⁵ Cilicia²⁷⁹¹ and²⁵³² of Asia,⁷⁷³ disputing with⁴⁸⁰² Stephen.⁴⁷³⁶

10 And²⁵³² they were not able²⁴⁸⁰ ³⁷⁵⁶ to resist⁴³⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ wisdom⁴⁶⁷⁸ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ by which³⁷³⁹ he spake.²⁹⁸⁰

11 Then⁵¹¹⁹ they suborned⁵²⁶⁰ men,⁴³⁵ which said,³⁰⁰⁴ We have heard¹⁹¹ him⁸⁴⁶ speak²⁹⁸⁰ blasphemous⁹⁸⁹ words⁴⁴⁸⁷ against¹⁵¹⁹ Moses,³⁴⁷⁵ and²⁵³² against God.²³¹⁶

12 And⁵⁰³⁷ they stirred up⁴⁷⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ elders,⁴²⁴⁵ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ scribes,¹¹²² and²⁵³² came upon²¹⁸⁶ him, and caught⁴⁸⁸⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² brought⁷¹ him to¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸⁹²

13 And⁵⁰³⁷ set up²⁴⁷⁶ false⁵⁵⁷¹ witnesses,³¹⁴⁴ which said,³⁰⁰⁴ This³⁷⁷⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ ceaseth³⁹⁷³ not³⁷⁵⁶ to speak²⁹⁸⁰ blasphemous⁹⁸⁹ words⁴⁴⁸⁷ against²⁵⁹⁶ this⁵¹²⁷ holy⁴⁰ place,⁵¹¹⁷ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ law:³⁵⁵¹

14 For¹⁰⁶³ we have heard¹⁹¹ him⁸⁴⁶ say,³⁰⁰⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ this³⁷⁷⁸ Jesus²⁴²⁴ of Nazareth³⁴⁸⁰ shall destroy²⁶⁴⁷ this⁵¹²⁶ place,⁵¹¹⁷ and²⁵³² shall change²³⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ customs¹⁴⁸⁵ which³⁷³⁹ Moses³⁴⁷⁵ delivered³⁸⁶⁰ us.²²⁵⁴

15 And²⁵³² all⁵³⁷ that sat²⁵¹⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸⁹² looking steadfastly⁸¹⁶ on¹⁵¹⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ saw¹⁴⁹² his⁸⁴⁶ face⁴³⁸³ as it had been⁵⁶¹⁶ the face⁴³⁸³ of an angel.³²

Acts 7: 1-60

1 Then¹¹⁶¹ said²⁰³⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest,⁷⁴⁹ ¹⁴⁸⁷ ⁶⁸⁶ Are²¹⁹² these⁵⁰²³ things so?³⁷⁷⁹

2 And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said,⁵³⁴⁶ Men,⁴³⁵ brethren,⁸⁰ and²⁵³² fathers,³⁹⁶² hearken;¹⁹¹ The³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of glory¹³⁹¹ appeared³⁷⁰⁰ unto our²²⁵⁷ father³⁹⁶² Abraham,¹¹ when he was⁵⁶⁰⁷ in¹⁷²² Mesopotamia,³³¹⁸ before⁴²⁵⁰ ²²²⁸ he⁸⁴⁶ dwelt²⁷³⁰ in¹⁷²² Haran,⁵⁴⁸⁸

3 And²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ Get¹⁸³¹ thee out of¹⁵³⁷ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ country,¹⁰⁹³ and²⁵³² from¹⁵³⁷ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ kindred,⁴⁷⁷² and²⁵³² come¹²⁰⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ the land¹⁰⁹³ which³⁷³⁹ ³⁰² I shall show¹¹⁶⁶ thee.⁴⁶⁷¹

4 Then⁵¹¹⁹ came¹⁸³¹ he out of¹⁵³⁷ the land¹⁰⁹³ of the Chaldeans,⁵⁴⁶⁶ and dwelt²⁷³⁰ in¹⁷²² Haran:⁵⁴⁸⁸ and from thence,²⁵⁴⁷ when his⁸⁴⁶ father³⁹⁶² was dead,⁵⁹⁹ he removed³³⁵¹ him⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ this⁵⁰²⁶ land,¹⁰⁹³ wherein¹⁵¹⁹ ³⁷³⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ now³⁵⁶⁸ dwell.²⁷³⁰

5 And²⁵³² he gave¹³²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ none³⁷⁵⁶ inheritance²⁸¹⁷ in¹⁷²² it, no,⁸⁴⁶ not³⁷⁶¹ so much as to set his foot on:⁹⁶⁸ ⁴²²⁸ yet²⁵³² he promised¹⁸⁶¹ that he would give¹³²⁵ it⁸⁴⁶ to him⁸⁴⁶ for¹⁵¹⁹ a possession,²⁶⁹⁷ and²⁵³² to his⁸⁴⁶ seed⁴⁶⁹⁰ after³³²⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶ when as yet he⁸⁴⁶ had⁵⁶⁰⁷ no³⁷⁵⁶ child.⁵⁰⁴³

6 And¹¹⁶¹ God²³¹⁶ spake²⁹⁸⁰ on this wise,³⁷⁷⁹ That³⁷⁵⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ seed⁴⁶⁹⁰ should²⁰⁷¹ sojourn³⁹⁴¹ in¹⁷²² a strange²⁴⁵ land;¹⁰⁹³ and²⁵³² that they should bring them into bondage,¹⁴⁰² ⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² entreat them evil²⁵⁵⁹ four hundred⁵⁰⁷¹ years.²⁰⁹⁴

7 And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ nation¹⁴⁸⁴ to whom³⁷³⁹ they shall¹⁴³⁷ be in bondage¹³⁹⁸ will I¹⁴⁷³ judge,²⁹¹⁹ said²⁰³⁶ God:²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² after³³²⁶ that⁵⁰²³ shall they come forth,¹⁸³¹ and²⁵³² serve³⁰⁰⁰ me³⁴²⁷ in¹⁷²² this⁵¹²⁹ place.⁵¹¹⁷

8 And²⁵³² he gave¹³²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ the covenant¹²⁴² of circumcision:⁴⁰⁶¹ and²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ Abraham begat¹⁰⁸⁰ Isaac,²⁴⁶⁴ and²⁵³² circumcised⁴⁰⁵⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ eighth³⁵⁹⁰ day;²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² Isaac²⁴⁶⁴ begat Jacob;²³⁸⁴ and²⁵³² Jacob²³⁸⁴ begat the³⁵⁸⁸ twelve¹⁴²⁷ patriarchs.³⁹⁶⁶

9 And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ patriarchs,³⁹⁶⁶ moved with envy,²²⁰⁶ sold⁵⁹¹ Joseph²⁵⁰¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ Egypt:¹²⁵ but²⁵³² God²³¹⁶ was²²⁵⁸ with³³²⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶

10 And²⁵³² delivered¹⁸⁰⁷ him⁸⁴⁶ out of¹⁵³⁷ all³⁹⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ afflictions,²³⁴⁷ and²⁵³² gave¹³²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ favor⁵⁴⁸⁵ and²⁵³² wisdom⁴⁶⁷⁸ in the sight¹⁷²⁶ of Pharaoh⁵³²⁸ king⁹³⁵ of Egypt;¹²⁵ and²⁵³² he made²⁵²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ governor²²³³ over¹⁹⁰⁹ Egypt¹²⁵ and²⁵³² all³⁶⁵⁰ his⁸⁴⁸ house.³⁶²⁴

11 Now¹¹⁶¹ there came²⁰⁶⁴ a dearth³⁰⁴² over¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ land¹⁰⁹³ of Egypt¹²⁵ and²⁵³² Canaan,⁵⁴⁷⁷ and²⁵³² great³¹⁷³ affliction:²³⁴⁷ and²⁵³² our²²⁵⁷ fathers³⁹⁶² found²¹⁴⁷ no³⁷⁵⁶ sustenance.⁵⁵²⁷

12 But¹¹⁶¹ when Jacob²³⁸⁴ heard¹⁹¹ that there was⁵⁶⁰⁷ corn⁴⁶²¹ in¹⁷²² Egypt,¹²⁵ he sent out¹⁸²¹ our²²⁵⁷ fathers³⁹⁶² first.⁴⁴¹²

13 And²⁵³² at¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ second¹²⁰⁸ time Joseph²⁵⁰¹ was made known³¹⁹ to his⁸⁴⁸ brethren;⁸⁰ and²⁵³² Joseph's²⁵⁰¹ kindred¹⁰⁸⁵ was made¹⁰⁹⁶ known⁵³¹⁸ unto Pharaoh.⁵³²⁸

14 Then¹¹⁶¹ sent⁶⁴⁹ Joseph,²⁵⁰¹ and called³³³³ his⁸⁴⁸ father³⁹⁶² Jacob²³⁸⁴ to him, and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ kindred,⁴⁷⁷² threescore and fifteen¹⁴⁴⁰ ⁴⁰⁰² souls.⁵⁵⁹⁰

15 So¹¹⁶¹ Jacob²³⁸⁴ went down²⁵⁹⁷ into¹⁵¹⁹ Egypt,¹²⁵ and²⁵³² died,⁵⁰⁵³ he,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² our²²⁵⁷ fathers,³⁹⁶²

16 And²⁵³² were carried over³³⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ Shechem,⁴⁹⁶⁶ and²⁵³² laid⁵⁰⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ sepulcher³⁴¹⁸ that³⁷³⁹ Abraham¹¹ bought⁵⁶⁰⁸ for a sum⁵⁰⁹² of money⁶⁹⁴ of³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ sons⁵²⁰⁷ of Hamor¹⁶⁹⁷ the father of Shechem.⁴⁹⁶⁶

17 But¹¹⁶¹ when²⁵³¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ drew nigh,¹⁴⁴⁸ which³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ had sworn³⁶⁶⁰ to Abraham,¹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² grew⁸³⁷ and²⁵³² multiplied⁴¹²⁹ in¹⁷²² Egypt,¹²⁵

18 Till⁸⁹¹ ³⁷⁵⁷ another²⁰⁸⁷ king⁹³⁵ arose,⁴⁵⁰ which³⁷³⁹ knew¹⁴⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ Joseph.²⁵⁰¹

19 The same³⁷⁷⁸ dealt subtlely with²⁶⁸⁶ our²²⁵⁷ kindred,¹⁰⁸⁵ and evil entreated²⁵⁵⁹ our²²⁵⁷ fathers,³⁹⁶² so that they cast out⁴¹⁶⁰ ¹⁵⁷⁰ their⁸⁴⁶ young children,¹⁰²⁵ to the end they might not³³⁶¹ live.²²²⁵

20 In¹⁷²² which³⁷³⁹ time²⁵⁴⁰ Moses³⁴⁷⁵ was born,¹⁰⁸⁰ and²⁵³² was²²⁵⁸ exceeding fair,⁷⁹¹ and²⁵³² nourished up³⁹⁷ in¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁸ father's³⁹⁶² house³⁶²⁴ three⁵¹⁴⁰ months:³³⁷⁶

21 And¹¹⁶¹ when he⁸⁴⁶ was cast out,¹⁶²⁰ Pharaoh's⁵³²⁸ daughter²³⁶⁴ took him up,³³⁷ ⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² nourished³⁹⁷ him⁸⁴⁶ for¹⁵¹⁹ her own¹⁴³⁸ son.⁵²⁰⁷

22 And²⁵³² Moses³⁴⁷⁵ was learned³⁸¹¹ in all³⁹⁵⁶ the wisdom⁴⁶⁷⁸ of the Egyptians,¹²⁴ and¹¹⁶¹ was²²⁵⁸ mighty¹⁴¹⁵ in¹⁷²² words³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² deeds.²⁰⁴¹

23 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ he⁸⁴⁶ was full⁴¹³⁷ forty⁵⁰⁶³ years old,⁵⁵⁵⁰ it came³⁰⁵ into¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ heart²⁵⁸⁸ to visit¹⁹⁸⁰ his⁸⁴⁸ brethren⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel.²⁴⁷⁴

24 And²⁵³² seeing¹⁴⁹² one⁵¹⁰⁰ of them suffer wrong,⁹¹ he defended²⁹² him, and²⁵³² avenged⁴¹⁶⁰ ¹⁵⁵⁷ him that was oppressed,²⁶⁶⁹ and smote³⁹⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ Egyptian:¹²⁴

25 For¹¹⁶¹ he supposed³⁵⁴³ his⁸⁴⁸ brethren⁸⁰ would have understood⁴⁹²⁰ how that³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ by¹²²³ his⁸⁴⁶ hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ would deliver¹³²⁵ ⁴⁹⁹¹ them:⁸⁴⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ understood⁴⁹²⁰ not.³⁷⁵⁶

26 And⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ next¹⁹⁶⁶ day²²⁵⁰ he showed himself³⁷⁰⁰ unto them⁸⁴⁶ as they strove,³¹⁶⁴ and²⁵³² would have set them at one again,⁴⁹⁰⁰ ⁸⁴⁶ ¹⁵¹⁹ ¹⁵¹⁵ saying,²⁰³⁶ Sirs,⁴³⁵ ye⁵²¹⁰ are²⁰⁷⁵ brethren;⁸⁰ why²⁴⁴⁴ do ye wrong⁹¹ one to another?²⁴⁰

27 But¹¹⁶¹ he that did his neighbor wrong⁹¹ ⁴¹³⁹ thrust him away,⁶⁸³ ⁸⁴⁶ saying,²⁰³⁶ Who⁵¹⁰¹ made²⁵²⁵ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ a ruler⁷⁵⁸ and²⁵³² a judge¹³⁴⁸ over¹⁹⁰⁹ us?²²⁴⁸

28 Wilt²³⁰⁹ ³³⁶¹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ kill³³⁷ me,³¹⁶⁵ as thou didst³⁷³⁹ ⁵¹⁵⁸ ³³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Egyptian¹²⁴ yesterday?⁵⁵⁰⁴

29 Then¹¹⁶¹ fled⁵³⁴³ Moses³⁴⁷⁵ at¹⁷²² this⁵¹²⁹ saying,³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² was¹⁰⁹⁶ a stranger³⁹⁴¹ in¹⁷²² the land¹⁰⁹³ of Midian,³⁰⁹⁹ where³⁷⁵⁷ he begat¹⁰⁸⁰ two¹⁴¹⁷ sons.⁵²⁰⁷

30 And²⁵³² when forty⁵⁰⁶² years²⁰⁹⁴ were expired,⁴¹³⁷ there appeared³⁷⁰⁰ to him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ wilderness²⁰⁴⁸ of mount³⁷³⁵ Sinai⁴⁶¹⁴ an angel³² of the Lord²⁹⁶² in¹⁷²² a flame⁵³⁹⁵ of fire⁴⁴⁴² in a bush.⁹⁴²

31 When¹¹⁶¹ Moses³⁴⁷⁵ saw¹⁴⁹² it, he wondered²²⁹⁶ at the³⁵⁸⁸ sight:³⁷⁰⁵ and¹¹⁶¹ as he⁸⁴⁶ drew near⁴³³⁴ to behold²⁶⁵⁷ it, the voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ of the Lord²⁹⁶² came¹⁰⁹⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶

32 Saying, I¹⁴⁷³ am the³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ fathers,³⁹⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of Abraham,¹¹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of Isaac,²⁴⁶⁴ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of Jacob.²³⁸⁴ Then¹¹⁶¹ Moses³⁴⁷⁵ trembled,¹⁰⁹⁶ ¹⁷⁹⁰ and durst⁵¹¹¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ behold.²⁶⁵⁷

33 Then¹¹⁶¹ said²⁰³⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² to him,⁸⁴⁶ Put off³⁰⁸⁹ thy shoes⁵²⁶⁶ from thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ feet:⁴²²⁸ for¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ place⁵¹¹⁷ where¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ thou standest²⁴⁷⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ holy⁴⁰ ground.¹⁰⁹³

34 I have seen,¹⁴⁹² I have seen¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ affliction²⁵⁶¹ of my³⁴⁵⁰ people²⁹⁹² which³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² Egypt,¹²⁵ and²⁵³² I have heard¹⁹¹ their⁸⁴⁶ groaning,⁴⁷²⁶ and²⁵³² am come down²⁵⁹⁷ to deliver¹⁸⁰⁷ them.⁸⁴⁶ And²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ come,¹²⁰⁴ I will send⁶⁴⁹ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ Egypt.¹²⁵

35 This⁵¹²⁶ Moses³⁴⁷⁵ whom³⁷³⁹ they refused,⁷²⁰ saying,²⁰³⁶ Who⁵¹⁰¹ made²⁵²⁵ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ a ruler⁷⁵⁸ and²⁵³² a judge?¹³⁴⁸ the same⁵¹²⁶ did God²³¹⁶ send⁶⁴⁹ to be a ruler⁷⁵⁸ and²⁵³² a deliverer³⁰⁸⁶ by¹⁷²² the hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ of the angel³² which appeared³⁷⁰⁰ to him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ bush.⁹⁴²

36 He³⁷⁷⁸ brought them out,¹⁸⁰⁶ ⁸⁴⁶ after that he had showed⁴¹⁶⁰ wonders⁵⁰⁵⁹ and²⁵³² signs⁴⁵⁹² in¹⁷²² the land¹⁰⁹³ of Egypt,¹²⁵ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² the Red²⁰⁶³ sea,²²⁸¹ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ wilderness²⁰⁴⁸ forty⁵⁰⁶² years.²⁰⁹⁴

37 This³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ that Moses,³⁴⁷⁵ which said²⁰³⁶ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ A prophet⁴³⁹⁶ shall the Lord²⁹⁶² your⁵²¹⁶ God²³¹⁶ raise up⁴⁵⁰ unto you⁵²¹³ of¹⁵³⁷ your⁵²¹⁶ brethren,⁸⁰ like unto⁵⁶¹³ me;¹⁶⁹¹ him⁸⁴⁶ shall ye hear.¹⁹¹

38 This³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ he, that was¹⁰⁹⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ wilderness²⁰⁴⁸ with³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² which spake²⁹⁸⁰ to him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ mount³⁷³⁵ Sinai,⁴⁶¹⁴ and²⁵³² with our²²⁵⁷ fathers:³⁹⁶² who³⁷³⁹ received¹²⁰⁹ the lively²¹⁹⁸ oracles³⁰⁵¹ to give¹³²⁵ unto us:²²⁵⁴

39 To whom³⁷³⁹ our²²⁵⁷ fathers³⁹⁶² would²³⁰⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ obey,¹⁰⁹⁶ ⁵²⁵⁵ but²³⁵ thrust him from⁶⁸³ them, and²⁵³² in their⁸⁴⁸ hearts²⁵⁸⁸ turned back again⁴⁷⁶² into¹⁵¹⁹ Egypt,¹²⁵

40 Saying²⁰³⁶ unto Aaron,² Make⁴¹⁶⁰ us²²⁵⁴ gods²³¹⁶ to³⁷³⁹ go before⁴³¹³ us:²²⁵⁷ for¹⁰⁶³ as for this³⁷⁷⁸ Moses,³⁴⁷⁵ which³⁷³⁹ brought¹⁸⁰⁶ us²²⁴⁸ out of¹⁵³⁷ the land¹⁰⁹³ of Egypt,¹²⁵ we wot¹⁴⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ what⁵¹⁰¹ is become¹⁰⁹⁶ of him.⁸⁴⁶

41 And²⁵³² they made a calf³⁴⁴⁷ in¹⁷²² those¹⁵⁶⁵ days,²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² offered³²¹ sacrifice²³⁷⁸ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ idol,¹⁴⁹⁷ and²⁵³² rejoiced²¹⁶⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ works²⁰⁴¹ of their own⁸⁴⁸ hands.⁵⁴⁹⁵

42 Then¹¹⁶¹ God²³¹⁶ turned,⁴⁷⁶² and²⁵³² gave them up³⁸⁶⁰ ⁸⁴⁶ to worship³⁰⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ host⁴⁷⁵⁶ of heaven;³⁷⁷² as²⁵³¹ it is written¹¹²⁵ in¹⁷²² the book⁹⁷⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets,⁴³⁹⁶ O ye house³⁶²⁴ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ have ye³³⁶¹ offered⁴³⁷⁴ to me³⁴²⁷ slain beasts⁴⁹⁶⁸ and²⁵³² sacrifices²³⁷⁸ by the space of forty⁵⁰⁶² years²⁰⁹⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ wilderness?²⁰⁴⁸

43 Yea,²⁵³² ye took up³⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ tabernacle⁴⁶³³ of Moloch,³⁴³⁴ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ star⁷⁹⁸ of your⁵²¹⁶ god²³¹⁶ Remphan,⁴⁴⁸¹ figures⁵¹⁷⁹ which³⁷³⁹ ye made⁴¹⁶⁰ to worship⁴³⁵² them:⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² I will carry you away³³⁵¹ ⁵²⁰⁹ beyond¹⁹⁰⁰ Babylon.⁸⁹⁷

44 Our²²⁵⁷ fathers³⁹⁶² had²²⁵⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ tabernacle⁴⁶³³ of witness³¹⁴² in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ wilderness,²⁰⁴⁸ as he had appointed,¹²⁹⁹ speaking²⁹⁸⁰ unto Moses,³⁴⁷⁵ that he should make⁴¹⁶⁰ it⁸⁴⁶ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ fashion⁵¹⁷⁹ that³⁷³⁹ he had seen.³⁷⁰⁸

45 Which³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² our²²⁵⁷ fathers³⁹⁶² that came after¹²³⁷ brought in¹⁵²¹ with³³²⁶ Joshua²⁴²⁴ into¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ possession²⁶⁹⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ drove out¹⁸⁵⁶ before⁵⁷⁵ the face⁴³⁸³ of our²²⁵⁷ fathers,³⁹⁶² unto²¹⁹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ days²²⁵⁰ of David;¹¹³⁸

46 Who³⁷³⁹ found²¹⁴⁷ favor⁵⁴⁸⁵ before¹⁷⁹⁹ God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² desired¹⁵⁴ to find²¹⁴⁷ a tabernacle⁴⁶³⁸ for the³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of Jacob.²³⁸⁴

47 But¹¹⁶¹ Solomon⁴⁶⁷² built³⁶¹⁸ him⁸⁴⁶ a house.³⁶²⁴

48 Howbeit²³⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ most High⁵³¹⁰ dwelleth²⁷³⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² temples³⁴⁸⁵ made with hands;⁵⁴⁹⁹ as²⁵³¹ saith³⁰⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet,⁴³⁹⁶

49 Heaven³⁷⁷² is my³⁴²⁷ throne,²³⁶² and¹¹⁶¹ earth¹⁰⁹³ is my³⁴⁵⁰ footstool:⁵²⁸⁶ ⁴²²⁸ what⁴¹⁶⁹ house³⁶²⁴ will ye build³⁶¹⁸ me?³⁴²⁷ saith³⁰⁰⁴ the Lord:²⁹⁶² or²²²⁸ what⁵¹⁰¹ is the place⁵¹¹⁷ of my³⁴⁵⁰ rest?²⁶⁶³

50 Hath not³⁷⁸⁰ my³⁴⁵⁰ hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ made⁴¹⁶⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ these things?⁵⁰²³

51 Ye stiffnecked⁴⁶⁴⁴ and²⁵³² uncircumcised⁵⁶⁴ in heart²⁵⁸⁸ and²⁵³² ears,³⁷⁷⁵ ye⁵²¹⁰ do always¹⁰⁴ resist⁴⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost:⁴¹⁵¹ as⁵⁶¹³ your⁵²¹⁶ fathers³⁹⁶² did, so²⁵³² do ye.⁵²¹⁰

52 Which⁵¹⁰¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets⁴³⁹⁶ have not³⁷⁵⁶ your⁵²¹⁶ fathers³⁹⁶² persecuted?¹³⁷⁷ and²⁵³² they have slain⁶¹⁵ them which showed before⁴²⁹³ of⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ coming¹⁶⁶⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Just One;¹³⁴² of whom³⁷³⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ have been¹⁰⁹⁶ now³⁵⁶⁸ the betrayers⁴²⁷³ and²⁵³² murderers:⁵⁴⁰⁶

53 Who³⁷⁴⁸ have received²⁹⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ by¹⁵¹⁹ the disposition¹²⁹⁶ of angels,³² and²⁵³² have not³⁷⁵⁶ kept⁵⁴⁴² it.

54 When¹¹⁶¹ they heard¹⁹¹ these things,⁵⁰²³ they were cut¹²⁸² to⁸⁴⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ heart,²⁵⁸⁸ and²⁵³² they gnashed¹⁰³¹ on¹⁹⁰⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ with their teeth.³⁵⁹⁸

55 But¹¹⁶¹ he, being⁵²²⁵ full⁴¹³⁴ of the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ looked up steadfastly⁸¹⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven,³⁷⁷² and saw¹⁴⁹² the glory¹³⁹¹ of God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² Jesus²⁴²⁴ standing²⁴⁷⁶ on¹⁵³⁷ the right hand¹¹⁸⁸ of God,²³¹⁶

56 And²⁵³² said,²⁰³⁶ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I see²³³⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ heavens³⁷⁷² opened,⁴⁵⁵ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of man⁴⁴⁴ standing²⁴⁷⁶ on¹⁵³⁷ the right hand¹¹⁸⁸ of God.²³¹⁶

57 Then¹¹⁶¹ they cried out²⁸⁹⁶ with a loud³¹⁷³ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ and stopped⁴⁹¹² their⁸⁴⁸ ears,³⁷⁷⁵ and²⁵³² ran³⁷²⁹ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ with one accord,³⁶⁶¹

58 And²⁵³² cast¹⁵⁴⁴ him out¹⁸⁵⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city,⁴¹⁷² and stoned³⁰³⁶ him: and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ witnesses³¹⁴⁴ laid down⁶⁵⁹ their⁸⁴⁸ clothes²⁴⁴⁰ at³⁸⁴⁴ a young man's³⁴⁹⁴ feet,⁴²²⁸ whose name²⁵⁶⁴ was Saul.⁴⁵⁶⁹

59 And²⁵³² they stoned³⁰³⁶ Stephen,⁴⁷³⁶ calling upon¹⁹⁴¹ God, and²⁵³² saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus,²⁴²⁴ receive¹²⁰⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ spirit.⁴¹⁵¹

60 And¹¹⁶¹ he kneeled down,⁵⁰⁸⁷ ¹¹¹⁹ and cried²⁸⁹⁶ with a loud³¹⁷³ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ Lord,²⁹⁶² lay²⁴⁷⁶ not³³⁶¹ this⁵⁰²⁶ sin²⁶⁶ to their charge.⁸⁴⁶ And²⁵³² when he had said²⁰³⁶ this,⁵¹²⁴ he fell asleep.²⁸³⁷

Acts 8: 1-40

1 And¹¹⁶¹ Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ was²²⁵⁸ consenting⁴⁹⁰⁹ unto his⁸⁴⁶ death.³³⁶ And¹¹⁶¹ at¹⁷²² that¹⁵⁶⁵ time²²⁵⁰ there was¹⁰⁹⁶ a great³¹⁷³ persecution¹³⁷⁵ against¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ which³⁵⁸⁸ was at¹⁷²² Jerusalem;²⁴¹⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ they were all³⁹⁵⁶ scattered abroad¹²⁸⁹ throughout²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ regions⁵⁵⁶¹ of Judea²⁴⁴⁹ and²⁵³² Samaria,⁴⁵⁴⁰ except⁴¹³³ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles.⁶⁵²

2 And¹¹⁶¹ devout²¹²⁶ men⁴³⁵ carried⁴⁷⁹² Stephen⁴⁷³⁶ to his burial, and²⁵³² made⁴¹⁶⁰ great³¹⁷³ lamentation²⁸⁷⁰ over¹⁹⁰⁹ him.⁸⁴⁶

3 As for¹¹⁶¹ Saul,⁴⁵⁶⁹ he made havoc³⁰⁷⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ entering into¹⁵³¹ every house,²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁶²⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ haling⁴⁹⁵¹ men⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² women¹¹³⁵ committed³⁸⁶⁰ them to¹⁵¹⁹ prison.⁵⁴³⁸

4 Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ ³³⁰³ they that were scattered abroad¹²⁸⁹ went every where¹³³⁰ preaching²⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ word.³⁰⁵⁶

5 Then¹¹⁶¹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ went down²⁷¹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ the city⁴¹⁷² of Samaria,⁴⁵⁴⁰ and preached²⁷⁸⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ unto them.⁸⁴⁶

6 And⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ people³⁷⁹³ with one accord³⁶⁶¹ gave heed⁴³³⁷ unto those things which⁵²⁵⁹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ spake,³⁰⁰⁴ hearing¹⁹¹ and²⁵³² seeing⁹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ miracles⁴⁵⁹² which³⁷³⁹ he did.⁴¹⁶⁰

7 For¹⁰⁶³ unclean¹⁶⁹ spirits,⁴¹⁵¹ crying⁹⁹⁴ with loud³¹⁷³ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ came out¹⁸³¹ of many⁴¹⁸³ that were possessed²¹⁹² with them: and¹¹⁶¹ many⁴¹⁸³ taken with palsies,³⁸⁸⁶ and²⁵³² that were lame,⁵⁵⁶⁰ were healed.²³²³

8 And²⁵³² there was¹⁰⁹⁶ great³¹⁷³ joy⁵⁴⁷⁹ in¹⁷²² that¹⁵⁶⁵ city.⁴¹⁷²

9 But¹¹⁶¹ there was a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man,⁴³⁵ called³⁶⁸⁶ Simon,⁴⁶¹³ which beforetime⁴³⁹¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ same city⁴¹⁷² used sorcery,³⁰⁹⁶ and²⁵³² bewitched¹⁸³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people¹⁴⁸⁴ of Samaria,⁴⁵⁴⁰ giving out³⁰⁰⁴ that himself¹⁴³⁸ was¹⁵¹¹ some⁵¹⁰⁰ great one:³¹⁷³

10 To whom³⁷³⁹ they all³⁹⁵⁶ gave heed,⁴³³⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ the least³³⁹⁸ to²¹⁹³ the greatest,³¹⁷³ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ This man³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ great³¹⁷³ power¹⁴¹¹ of God.²³¹⁶

11 And¹¹⁶¹ to him⁸⁴⁶ they had regard,⁴³³⁷ because that of long²⁴²⁵ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ he had bewitched¹⁸³⁹ them⁸⁴⁶ with sorceries.³⁰⁹⁵

12 But¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ they believed⁴¹⁰⁰ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ preaching²⁰⁹⁷ the things³⁵⁸⁸ concerning⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ they were baptized,⁹⁰⁷ both⁵⁰³⁷ men⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² women.¹¹³⁵

13 Then¹¹⁶¹ Simon⁴⁶¹³ himself⁸⁴⁶ believed⁴¹⁰⁰ also:²⁵³² and²⁵³² when he was baptized,⁹⁰⁷ he continued²²⁵⁸ ⁴³⁴² with Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ and⁵⁰³⁷ wondered,¹⁸³⁹ beholding²³³⁴ the³¹⁷³ miracles¹⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² signs⁴⁵⁹² which were done.¹⁰⁹⁶

14 Now¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² which³⁵⁸⁸ were at¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁴ heard¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ Samaria⁴⁵⁴⁰ had received¹²⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God,²³¹⁶ they sent⁶⁴⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ them⁸⁴⁶ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² John:²⁴⁹¹

15 Who,³⁷⁴⁸ when they were come down,²⁵⁹⁷ prayed⁴³³⁶ for⁴⁰¹² them,⁸⁴⁶ that³⁷⁰⁴ they might receive²⁹⁸³ the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost:⁴¹⁵¹

16 (For¹⁰⁶³ as yet³⁷⁶⁸ he was²²⁵⁸ fallen¹⁹⁶⁸ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ none³⁷⁶² of them:⁸⁴⁶ ¹¹⁶¹ only³⁴⁴⁰ they were⁵²²⁵ baptized⁹⁰⁷ in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus.)²⁴²⁴

17 Then⁵¹¹⁹ laid²⁰⁰⁷ they their hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ on¹⁹⁰⁹ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² they received²⁹⁸³ the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

18 And¹¹⁶¹ when Simon⁴⁶¹³ saw²³⁰⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ through¹²²³ laying on¹⁹³⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles'⁶⁵² hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ was given,¹³²⁵ he offered⁴³⁷⁴ them⁸⁴⁶ money,⁵⁵³⁶

19 Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Give¹³²⁵ me also²⁵⁰⁴ this⁵⁰²⁶ power,¹⁸⁴⁹ that²⁴⁴³ on whomsoever³⁷³⁹ ³⁰² I lay²⁰⁰⁷ hands,⁵⁴⁹⁵ he may receive²⁹⁸³ the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

20 But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ Thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ money⁶⁹⁴ perish¹⁴⁹⁸ ¹⁵¹⁹ ⁶⁸⁴ with⁴⁸⁶² thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ because³⁷⁵⁴ thou hast thought³⁵⁴³ that the³⁵⁸⁸ gift¹⁴³¹ of God²³¹⁶ may be purchased²⁹³² with¹²²³ money.⁵⁵³⁶

21 Thou⁴⁶⁷¹ hast²⁰⁷⁶ neither³⁷⁵⁶ part³³¹⁰ nor³⁷⁶¹ lot²⁸¹⁹ in¹⁷²² this⁵¹²⁹ matter:³⁰⁵⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ heart²⁵⁸⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ right²¹¹⁷ in the sight¹⁷⁹⁹ of God.²³¹⁶

22 Repent³³⁴⁰ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ of⁵⁷⁵ this⁵⁰²⁶ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ wickedness,²⁵⁴⁹ and²⁵³² pray¹¹⁸⁹ God,²³¹⁶ if¹⁴⁸⁷ perhaps⁶⁸⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ thought¹⁹⁶³ of thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ heart²⁵⁸⁸ may be forgiven⁸⁶³ thee.⁴⁶⁷¹

23 For¹⁰⁶³ I perceive³⁷⁰⁸ that thou⁴⁵⁷¹ art⁵⁶⁰⁷ in¹⁵¹⁹ the gall⁵⁵²¹ of bitterness,⁴⁰⁸⁸ and²⁵³² in the bond⁴⁸⁸⁶ of iniquity.⁹³

24 Then¹¹⁶¹ answered⁶¹¹ Simon,⁴⁶¹³ and said,²⁰³⁶ Pray¹¹⁸⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² for⁵²²⁸ me,¹⁷⁰⁰ that³⁷⁰⁴ none³³⁶⁷ of these things which³⁷³⁹ ye have spoken²⁰⁴⁶ come¹⁹⁰⁴ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ me.¹⁶⁹¹

25 And³⁷⁶⁷ they,³⁵⁸⁸ when they³³⁰³ ³⁷⁶⁷ had testified¹²⁶³ and²⁵³² preached²⁹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² returned⁵²⁹⁰ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ and⁵⁰³⁷ preached the gospel²⁰⁹⁷ in many⁴¹⁸³ villages²⁹⁶⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Samaritans.⁴⁵⁴¹

26 And¹¹⁶¹ the angel³² of the Lord²⁹⁶² spake²⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Arise,⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² go⁴¹⁹⁸ toward²⁵⁹⁶ the south³³¹⁴ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ that goeth down²⁵⁹⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Gaza,¹⁰⁴⁸ which³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ desert.²⁰⁴⁸

27 And²⁵³² he arose⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² went:⁴¹⁹⁸ and,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ a man⁴³⁵ of Ethiopia,¹²⁸ an eunuch²¹³⁵ of great authority¹⁴¹³ under Candace²⁵⁸² queen⁹³⁸ of the Ethiopians,¹²⁸ who³⁷³⁹ had the charge²²⁵⁸ ¹⁹⁰⁹ of all³⁹⁵⁶ her⁸⁴⁸ treasure,¹⁰⁴⁷ and²⁵³² had³⁷³⁹ come²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ for to worship,⁴³⁵²

28 ⁵⁰³⁷ Was²²⁵⁸ returning,⁵²⁹⁰ and²⁵³² sitting²⁵²¹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ chariot⁷¹⁶ ²⁵³² read³¹⁴ Isaiah²²⁶⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet.⁴³⁹⁶

29 Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ said²⁰³⁶ unto Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ Go near,⁴³³⁴ and²⁵³² join thyself²⁸⁵³ to this⁵¹²⁹ chariot.⁷¹⁶

30 And¹¹⁶¹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ ran thither⁴³⁷⁰ to him, and heard¹⁹¹ him⁸⁴⁶ read³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet⁴³⁹⁶ Isaiah,²²⁶⁸ and²⁵³² said,²⁰³⁶ ⁶⁸⁷ ¹⁰⁶⁵ Understandest¹⁰⁹⁷ thou what³⁷³⁹ thou readest?³¹⁴

31 And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ ¹⁰⁶³ How⁴⁴⁵⁹ can¹⁴¹⁰ ³⁰² I, except³³⁶² some man⁵¹⁰⁰ should guide³⁵⁹⁴ me?³¹⁶⁵ And⁵⁰³⁷ he desired³⁸⁷⁰ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ that he would come up³⁰⁵ and sit²⁵²³ with⁴⁸⁶² him.⁸⁴⁶

32 ¹¹⁶¹ The³⁵⁸⁸ place⁴⁰⁴² of the³⁵⁸⁸ Scripture¹¹²⁴ which³⁷³⁹ he read³¹⁴ was²²⁵⁸ this,³⁷⁷⁸ He was led⁷¹ as⁵⁶¹³ a sheep⁴²⁶³ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the slaughter;⁴⁹⁶⁷ and²⁵³² like⁵⁶¹³ a lamb²⁸⁶ dumb⁸⁸⁰ before¹⁷²⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ shearer,²⁷⁵¹ so³⁷⁷⁹ opened⁴⁵⁵ he not³⁷⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ mouth:⁴⁷⁵⁰

33 In¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁶ humiliation⁵⁰¹⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ judgment²⁹²⁰ was taken away:¹⁴² and¹¹⁶¹ who⁵¹⁰¹ shall declare¹³³⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ generation?¹⁰⁷⁴ for³⁷⁵⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ life²²²² is taken¹⁴² from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth.¹⁰⁹³

34 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ eunuch²¹³⁵ answered⁶¹¹ Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ and said,²⁰³⁶ I pray¹¹⁸⁹ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ of⁴⁰¹² whom⁵¹⁰¹ speaketh³⁰⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet⁴³⁹⁶ this?⁵¹²⁴ of⁴⁰¹² himself,¹⁴³⁸ or²²²⁸ of⁴⁰¹² some other man?⁵¹⁰¹ ²⁰⁸⁷

35 Then¹¹⁶¹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ opened⁴⁵⁵ his⁸⁴⁸ mouth,⁴⁷⁵⁰ and²⁵³² began⁷⁵⁶ at⁵⁷⁵ the same⁵⁰²⁶ Scripture,¹¹²⁴ and preached²⁰⁹⁷ unto him⁸⁴⁶ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

36 And¹¹⁶¹ as⁵⁶¹³ they went⁴¹⁹⁸ on²⁵⁹⁶ their way,³⁵⁹⁸ they came²⁰⁶⁴ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ water:⁵²⁰⁴ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ eunuch²¹³⁵ said,⁵³⁴⁶ See,²⁴⁰⁰ here is water;⁵²⁰⁴ what⁵¹⁰¹ doth hinder²⁹⁶⁷ me³¹⁶⁵ to be baptized?⁹⁰⁷

37 And¹¹⁶¹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ said,²⁰³⁶ If¹⁴⁸⁷ thou believest⁴¹⁰⁰ with¹⁵³⁷ all³⁶⁵⁰ thine heart,²⁵⁸⁸ thou mayest.¹⁸³² And¹¹⁶¹ he answered⁶¹¹ and said,²⁰³⁶ I believe⁴¹⁰⁰ that Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ is¹⁵¹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of God.²³¹⁶

38 And²⁵³² he commanded²⁷⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ chariot⁷¹⁶ to stand still:²⁴⁷⁶ and²⁵³² they went down²⁵⁹⁷ both²⁹⁷ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ water,⁵²⁰⁴ both⁵⁰³⁷ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ eunuch;²¹³⁵ and²⁵³² he baptized⁹⁰⁷ him.⁸⁴⁶

39 And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ they were come up³⁰⁵ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ water,⁵²⁰⁴ the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of the Lord²⁹⁶² caught away⁷²⁶ Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ that²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ eunuch²¹³⁵ ³⁷⁵⁶ saw¹⁴⁹² him⁸⁴⁶ no more:³⁷⁶⁵ and¹⁰⁶³ he went⁴¹⁹⁸ on his⁸⁴⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ rejoicing.⁵⁴⁶³

40 But¹¹⁶¹ Philip⁵³⁷⁶ was found²¹⁴⁷ at¹⁵¹⁹ Azotus:¹⁰⁸ and²⁵³² passing through¹³³⁰ he preached²⁰⁹⁷ in all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ cities,⁴¹⁷² till²¹⁹³ he⁸⁴⁶ came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea.²⁵⁴²

Acts 9: 1-43

1 And¹¹⁶¹ Saul,⁴⁵⁶⁹ yet²⁰⁸⁹ breathing out¹⁷⁰⁹ threatenings⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² slaughter⁵⁴⁰⁸ against¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² went⁴³³⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest,⁷⁴⁹

2 And desired¹⁵⁴ of³⁸⁴⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ letters¹⁹⁹² to¹⁵¹⁹ Damascus¹¹⁵⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogues,⁴⁸⁶⁴ that³⁷⁰⁴ if¹⁴³⁷ he found²¹⁴⁷ any⁵¹⁰⁰ of this⁵⁶⁰⁷ way,³⁵⁹⁸ whether⁵⁰³⁷ they were men⁴³⁵ or²⁵³² women,¹¹³⁵ he might bring⁷¹ them bound¹²¹⁰ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem.²⁴¹⁹

3 And¹¹⁶¹ as he journeyed,⁴¹⁹⁸ he⁸⁴⁶ came near¹⁴⁴⁸ Damascus:¹¹⁵⁴ and²⁵³² suddenly¹⁸¹⁰ there shined round about⁴⁰¹⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ a light⁵⁴⁵⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ heaven:³⁷⁷²

4 And²⁵³² he fell⁴⁰⁹⁸ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth,¹⁰⁹³ and heard¹⁹¹ a voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto him,⁸⁴⁸ Saul,⁴⁵⁴⁹ Saul,⁴⁵⁴⁹ why⁵¹⁰¹ persecutest¹³⁷⁷ thou me?³¹⁶⁵

5 And¹¹⁶¹ he said,²⁰³⁶ Who⁵¹⁰¹ art¹⁴⁸⁸ thou, Lord?²⁹⁶² And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² said,²⁰³⁶ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ Jesus²⁴²⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ persecutest:¹³⁷⁷ it is hard⁴⁶⁴² for thee⁴⁶⁷¹ to kick²⁹⁷⁹ against⁴³¹⁴ the pricks.²⁷⁵⁹

6 And⁵⁰³⁷ he trembling⁵¹⁴¹ and²⁵³² astonished²²⁸⁴ said,²⁰³⁶ Lord,²⁹⁶² what⁵¹⁰¹ wilt²³⁰⁹ thou have me³¹⁶⁵ to do?⁴¹⁶⁰ And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² said unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ Arise,⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² go¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ city,⁴¹⁷² and²⁵³² it shall be told²⁹⁸⁰ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ thou must¹¹⁶³ do.⁴¹⁶⁰

7 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ men⁴³⁵ which journeyed with⁴⁹²² him⁸⁴⁶ stood²⁴⁷⁶ speechless,¹⁷⁶⁹ hearing¹⁹¹ a³³⁰³ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ seeing²³³⁴ no man.³³⁶⁷

8 And¹¹⁶¹ Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ arose¹⁴⁵³ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth;¹⁰⁹³ and¹¹⁶¹ when his⁸⁴⁸ eyes³⁷⁸⁸ were opened,⁴⁵⁵ he saw⁹⁹¹ no man:³⁷⁶² but¹¹⁶¹ they led him by the hand,⁵⁴⁹⁶ ⁸⁴⁶ and brought¹⁵²¹ him into¹⁵¹⁹ Damascus.¹¹⁵⁴

9 And²⁵³² he was²²⁵⁸ three⁵¹⁴⁰ days²²⁵⁰ without³³⁶¹ sight,⁹⁹¹ and²⁵³² neither³⁷⁵⁶ did eat⁵³¹⁵ nor³⁷⁶¹ drink.⁴⁰⁹⁵

10 And¹¹⁶¹ there was²²⁵⁸ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ disciple³¹⁰¹ at¹⁷²² Damascus¹¹⁵⁴ named³⁶⁸⁶ Ananias;³⁶⁷ and²⁵³² to⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ said²⁰³⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² in¹⁷²² a vision,³⁷⁰⁵ Ananias.³⁶⁷ And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ am here, Lord.²⁹⁶²

11 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² said unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ Arise,⁴⁵⁰ and go⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ street⁴⁵⁰⁵ which is called²⁵⁶⁴ Straight,²¹¹⁷ and²⁵³² inquire²²¹² in¹⁷²² the house³⁶¹⁴ of Judas²⁴⁵⁵ for one called³⁶⁸⁶ Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ of Tarsus:⁵⁰¹⁸ for,¹⁰⁶³ behold,²⁴⁰⁰ he prayeth,⁴³³⁶

12 And²⁵³² hath seen¹⁴⁹² in¹⁷²² a vision³⁷⁰⁵ a man⁴³⁵ named³⁶⁸⁶ Ananias³⁶⁷ coming in,¹⁵²⁵ and²⁵³² putting²⁰⁰⁷ his hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ on him,⁸⁴⁶ that³⁷⁰⁴ he might receive his sight.³⁰⁸

13 Then¹¹⁶¹ Ananias³⁶⁷ answered,⁶¹¹ Lord,²⁹⁶² I have heard¹⁹¹ by⁵⁷⁵ many⁴¹⁸³ of⁴⁰¹² this⁵¹²⁷ man,⁴³⁵ how much³⁷⁴⁵ evil²⁵⁵⁶ he hath done⁴¹⁶⁰ to thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ saints⁴⁰ at¹⁷²² Jerusalem:²⁴¹⁹

14 And²⁵³² here⁵⁶⁰² he hath²¹⁹² authority¹⁸⁴⁹ from³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests⁷⁴⁹ to bind¹²¹⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ that call on¹⁹⁴¹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ name.³⁶⁸⁶

15 But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ Go thy way:⁴¹⁹⁸ for³⁷⁵⁴ he³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ a chosen¹⁵⁸⁹ vessel⁴⁶³² unto me,³⁴²⁷ to bear⁹⁴¹ my³⁴⁵⁰ name³⁶⁸⁶ before¹⁷⁹⁹ the Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² kings,⁹³⁵ and⁵⁰³⁷ the children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel:²⁴⁷⁴

16 For¹⁰⁶³ I¹⁴⁷³ will show⁵²⁶³ him⁸⁴⁶ how great things³⁷⁴⁵ he⁸⁴⁶ must¹¹⁶³ suffer³⁹⁵⁸ for⁵²²⁸ my name's sake.³⁴⁵⁰ ³⁶⁸⁶

17 And¹¹⁶¹ Ananias³⁶⁷ went his way,⁵⁶⁵ and²⁵³² entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ house;³⁶¹⁴ and²⁵³² putting²⁰⁰⁷ his hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ on¹⁹⁰⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ said,²⁰³⁶ Brother⁸⁰ Saul,⁴⁵⁴⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² even Jesus,²⁴²⁴ that appeared³⁷⁰⁰ unto thee⁴⁶⁷¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ as³⁷³⁹ thou camest,²⁰⁶⁴ hath sent⁶⁴⁹ me,³¹⁶⁵ that³⁷⁰⁴ thou mightest receive thy sight,³⁰⁸ and²⁵³² be filled⁴¹³⁰ with the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

18 And²⁵³² immediately²¹¹² there fell⁶³⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ his⁸⁴⁶ eyes³⁷⁷⁸ as it had been⁵⁶¹⁶ scales:³⁰¹³ and⁵⁰³⁷ he received sight³⁰⁸ forthwith,³⁹¹⁶ and²⁵³² arose,⁴⁵⁰ and was baptized.⁹⁰⁷

19 And²⁵³² when he had received²⁹⁸³ meat,⁵¹⁶⁰ he was strengthened.¹⁷⁶⁵ Then¹¹⁶¹ was¹⁰⁹⁶ Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ days²²⁵⁰ with³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ which were at¹⁷²² Damascus.¹¹⁵⁴

20 And²⁵³² straightway²¹¹² he preached²⁷⁸⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogues,⁴⁸⁶⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ he³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of God.²³¹⁶

21 But¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ that heard¹⁹¹ him were amazed,¹⁸³⁹ and²⁵³² said;³⁰⁰⁴ Is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ this³⁷⁷⁸ he that destroyed⁴¹⁹⁹ them which called on¹⁹⁴¹ this⁵¹²⁴ name³⁶⁸⁶ in¹⁷²² Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ and²⁵³² came²⁰⁶⁴ hither⁵⁶⁰² for¹⁵¹⁹ that intent,⁵¹²⁴ that²⁴⁴³ he might bring⁷¹ them⁸⁴⁶ bound¹²¹⁰ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests?⁷⁴⁹

22 But¹¹⁶¹ Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ increased the more in strength,¹⁷⁴³ ³¹²³ and²⁵³² confounded⁴⁷⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ which dwelt²⁷³⁰ at¹⁷²² Damascus,¹¹⁵⁴ proving⁴⁸²² that³⁷⁵⁴ this³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ very Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

23 And¹¹⁶¹ after that⁵⁶¹³ many²⁴²⁵ days²²⁵⁰ were fulfilled,⁴¹³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ took counsel⁴⁸²³ to kill³³⁷ him:⁸⁴⁶

24 But¹¹⁶¹ their⁸⁴⁶ laying await¹⁹¹⁷ was known¹⁰⁹⁷ of Saul.⁴⁵⁶⁹ And⁵⁰³⁷ they watched³⁹⁰⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ gates⁴⁴³⁹ ⁵⁰³⁷ day²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² night³⁵⁷¹ to³⁷⁰⁴ kill³³⁷ him.⁸⁴⁶

25 Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ took²⁹⁸³ him⁸⁴⁶ by night,³⁵⁷¹ and let him down²⁵²⁴ ⁵⁴⁶⁵ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ wall⁵⁰³⁸ in¹⁷²² a basket.⁴⁷¹¹

26 And¹¹⁶¹ when Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ was come³⁸⁵⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ he attempted³⁹⁸⁷ to join himself²⁸⁵³ to the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples:³¹⁰¹ but²⁵³² they were all afraid⁵³⁹⁹ ³⁹⁵⁶ of him,⁸⁴⁶ and believed⁴¹⁰⁰ not³³⁶¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ he was²⁰⁷⁶ a disciple.³¹⁰¹

27 But¹¹⁶¹ Barnabas⁹²¹ took¹⁹⁴⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ and brought⁷¹ him to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles,⁶⁵² and²⁵³² declared¹³³⁴ unto them⁸⁴⁶ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ he had seen¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ way,³⁵⁹⁸ and²⁵³² that³⁷⁵⁴ he had spoken²⁹⁸⁰ to him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² how⁴⁴⁵⁹ he had preached boldly³⁹⁵⁵ at¹⁷²² Damascus¹¹⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus.²⁴²⁴

28 And²⁵³² he was²²⁵⁸ with³³²⁶ them⁸⁴⁶ coming in¹⁵³¹ and²⁵³² going out¹⁶⁰⁷ at¹⁷²² Jerusalem.²⁴¹⁹

29 And²⁵³² he spake boldly³⁹⁵⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus,²⁴²⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ disputed²⁹⁸⁰ ⁴⁸⁰² against⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Grecians:¹⁶⁷⁵ but¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ went about²⁰²¹ to slay³³⁷ him.⁸⁴⁶

30 Which when¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ knew,¹⁹²¹ they brought him down²⁶⁰⁹ ⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea,²⁵⁴² and²⁵³² sent him forth¹⁸²¹ ⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Tarsus.⁵⁰¹⁹

31 Then³⁷⁶⁷ ³³⁰³ had²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ churches¹⁵⁷⁷ rest¹⁵¹⁵ throughout²⁵⁹⁶ all³⁶⁵⁰ Judea²⁴⁴⁹ and²⁵³² Galilee¹⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² Samaria,⁴⁵⁴⁰ and were edified;³⁶¹⁸ and²⁵³² walking⁴¹⁹⁸ in the³⁵⁸⁸ fear⁵⁴⁰¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² in the³⁵⁸⁸ comfort³⁸⁷⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ were multiplied.⁴¹²⁹

32 And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ as Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ passed¹³³⁰ throughout¹²²³ all³⁹⁵⁶ quarters, he came down²⁷¹⁸ also²⁵³² to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ saints⁴⁰ which dwelt²⁷³⁰ at Lydda.³⁰⁶⁹

33 And¹¹⁶¹ there¹⁵⁶³ he found²¹⁴⁷ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man⁴⁴⁴ named³⁶⁸⁶ Aeneas,¹³² which had kept his bed²⁶²¹ ¹⁹⁰⁹ ²⁸⁹⁵ ¹⁵³⁷ eight³⁶³⁸ years,²⁰⁹⁴ and³⁷³⁹ was²²⁵⁸ sick of the palsy.³⁸⁸⁶

34 And²⁵³² Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Aeneas¹³² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ maketh thee whole:²³⁹⁰ ⁴⁵⁷¹ arise,⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² make thy bed.⁴⁷⁶⁶ ⁴⁵⁷² And²⁵³² he arose⁴⁵⁰ immediately.²¹¹²

35 And²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ that dwelt²⁷³⁰ at Lydda³⁰⁶⁹ and²⁵³² Sharon⁴⁵⁶⁵ saw¹⁴⁹² him,⁸⁴⁶ and³⁷⁴⁸ turned¹⁹⁹⁴ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶²

36 Now¹¹⁶¹ there was²²⁵⁸ at¹⁷²² Joppa²⁴⁴⁵ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ disciple³¹⁰² named³⁶⁸⁶ Tabitha,⁵⁰⁰⁰ which³⁷³⁹ by interpretation¹³²⁹ is called³⁰⁰⁴ Dorcas:¹³⁹³ this woman³⁷⁷⁸ was²²⁵⁸ full⁴¹³⁴ of good¹⁸ works²⁰⁴¹ and²⁵³² almsdeeds¹⁶⁵⁴ which³⁷³⁹ she did.⁴¹⁶⁰

37 And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶ in¹⁷²² those¹⁵⁶⁵ days,²²⁵⁰ that she⁸⁴⁶ was sick,⁷⁷⁰ and died:⁵⁹⁹ whom when¹¹⁶¹ they had washed,³⁰⁶⁸ they⁸⁴⁶ laid⁵⁰⁸⁷ her in¹⁷²² an upper chamber.⁵²⁵³

38 And¹¹⁶¹ forasmuch as Lydda³⁰⁶⁹ was⁵⁶⁰⁷ nigh to¹⁴⁵¹ Joppa,²⁴⁴⁵ and the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ had heard¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ was²⁰⁷⁶ there,¹⁷²² ⁸⁴⁶ they sent⁶⁴⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ two¹⁴¹⁷ men,⁴³⁵ desiring³⁸⁷⁰ him that he would not³³⁶¹ delay³⁶³⁵ to come¹³³⁰ to²¹⁹³ them.⁸⁴⁶

39 Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ arose⁴⁵⁰ and went with⁴⁹⁰⁵ them.⁸⁴⁶ When³⁷³⁹ he was come,³⁸⁵⁴ they brought³²¹ him into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ upper chamber:⁵²⁵³ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ widows⁵⁵⁰³ stood by³⁹³⁶ him⁸⁴⁶ weeping,²⁷⁹⁹ and²⁵³² showing¹⁹²⁵ the coats⁵⁵⁰⁹ and²⁵³² garments²⁴⁴⁰ which³⁷⁴⁵ Dorcas¹³⁹³ made,⁴¹⁶⁰ while she was⁵⁶⁰⁷ with³³²⁶ them.⁸⁴⁶

40 But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ put¹⁵⁴⁴ them all³⁹⁵⁶ forth,¹⁸⁵⁴ and kneeled down,⁵⁰⁸⁷ ¹¹¹⁹ and prayed;⁴³³⁶ and²⁵³² turning¹⁹⁹⁴ him to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ body⁴⁹⁸³ said,²⁰³⁶ Tabitha,⁵⁰⁰⁰ arise.⁴⁵⁰ And¹¹⁶¹ she³⁵⁸⁸ opened⁴⁵⁵ her⁸⁴⁸ eyes:³⁷⁸⁸ and²⁵³² when she saw¹⁴⁹² Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴ she sat up.³³⁹

41 And¹¹⁶¹ he gave¹³²⁵ her⁸⁴⁶ his hand,⁵⁴⁹⁵ and lifted her up,⁴⁵⁰ ⁸⁴⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ when he had called⁵⁴⁵⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ saints⁴⁰ and²⁵³² widows,⁵⁵⁰³ presented³⁹³⁶ her⁸⁴⁶ alive.²¹⁹⁸

42 And¹¹⁶¹ it was¹⁰⁹⁶ known¹¹¹⁰ throughout²⁵⁹⁶ all³⁶⁵⁰ Joppa;²⁴⁴⁵ and²⁵³² many⁴¹⁸³ believed⁴¹⁰⁰ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶²

43 And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ that he⁸⁴⁶ tarried³³⁰⁶ many²⁴²⁵ days²²⁵⁰ in¹⁷²² Joppa²⁴⁴⁵ with³⁸⁴⁴ one⁵¹⁰⁰ Simon⁴⁶¹³ a tanner.¹⁰³⁸

Acts 10: 1-48

1 There¹¹⁶¹ was²²⁵⁸ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man⁴³⁵ in¹⁷²² Caesarea²⁵⁴² called³⁶⁸⁶ Cornelius,²⁸⁸³ a centurion¹⁵⁴³ of¹⁵³⁷ the band⁴⁶⁸⁶ called²⁵⁶⁴ the Italian²⁴⁸³ band,

2 A devout²¹⁵² man, and²⁵³² one that feared⁵³⁹⁹ God²³¹⁶ with⁴⁸⁶² all³⁹⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ house,³⁶²⁴ which⁵⁰³⁷ gave⁴¹⁶⁰ much⁴¹⁸³ alms¹⁶⁵⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² prayed¹¹⁸⁹ to God²³¹⁶ always.¹²⁷⁵

3 He saw¹⁴⁹² in¹⁷²² a vision³⁷⁰⁵ evidently⁵³²⁰ about⁵⁶¹⁶ the ninth¹⁷⁶⁶ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ day²²⁵⁰ an angel³² of God²³¹⁶ coming in¹⁵²⁵ to⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² saying²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Cornelius.²⁸⁸³

4 And¹¹⁶¹ when he³⁵⁸⁸ looked⁸¹⁶ on him,⁸⁴⁶ he²⁵³² was¹⁰⁹⁶ afraid,¹⁷¹⁹ and said,²⁰³⁶ What⁵¹⁰¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ it, Lord?²⁹⁶² And¹¹⁶¹ he said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ prayers⁴³³⁵ and²⁵³² thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ alms¹⁶⁵⁴ are come up³⁰⁵ for¹⁵¹⁹ a memorial³⁴²² before¹⁷⁹⁹ God.²³¹⁶

5 And²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ send³⁹⁹² men⁴³⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Joppa,²⁴⁴⁵ and²⁵³² call for³³⁴³ one Simon,⁴⁶¹³ whose³⁷³⁹ surname is¹⁹⁴¹ Peter:⁴⁰⁷⁴

6 He³⁷⁷⁸ lodgeth³⁵⁷⁹ with³⁸⁴⁴ one⁵¹⁰⁰ Simon⁴⁶¹³ a tanner,¹⁰³⁸ whose³⁷³⁹ house³⁶¹⁴ is²⁰⁷⁶ by³⁸⁴⁴ the sea side:²²⁸¹ he³⁷⁷⁸ shall tell²⁹⁸⁰ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ thou⁴⁵⁷¹ oughtest¹¹⁶³ to do.⁴¹⁶⁰

7 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² which spake²⁹⁸⁰ unto Cornelius²⁸⁸³ was departed,⁵⁶⁵ he called⁵⁴⁵⁵ two¹⁴¹⁷ of his⁸⁴⁸ household servants,³⁶¹⁰ and²⁵³² a devout²¹⁵² soldier⁴⁷⁵⁷ of them that waited on him continually;⁴³⁴² ⁸⁴⁶

8 And²⁵³² when he had declared¹⁸³⁴ all⁵³⁷ these things unto them,⁸⁴⁶ he sent⁶⁴⁹ them⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Joppa.²⁴⁴⁵

9 On¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow,¹⁸⁸⁷ as they¹⁵⁶⁵ went on their journey,³⁵⁹⁶ and²⁵³² drew nigh¹⁴⁴⁸ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ city,⁴¹⁷² Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ went up³⁰⁵ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ housetop¹⁴³⁰ to pray⁴³³⁶ about⁴⁰¹² the sixth¹⁶²³ hour:⁵⁶¹⁰

10 And¹¹⁶¹ he became¹⁰⁹⁶ very hungry,⁴³⁶¹ and²⁵³² would²³⁰⁹ have eaten:¹⁰⁸⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ while they¹⁵⁶⁵ made ready,³⁹⁰³ he fell¹⁹⁶⁸ into¹⁹⁰⁹ a⁸⁴⁶ trance,¹⁶¹¹

11 And²⁵³² saw²³³⁴ heaven³⁷⁷² opened,⁴⁵⁵ and²⁵³² a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ vessel⁴⁶³² descending²⁵⁹⁷ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ as it had been⁵⁶¹³ a great³¹⁷³ sheet³⁶⁰⁷ knit¹²¹⁰ at the four⁵⁰⁶⁴ corners,⁷⁴⁶ and²⁵³² let down²⁵²⁴ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth:¹⁰⁹³

12 Wherein¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ were⁵²²⁵ all manner³⁹⁵⁶ of fourfooted beasts⁵⁰⁷⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth,¹⁰⁹³ and²⁵³² wild beasts,²³⁴² and²⁵³² creeping things,²⁰⁶² and²⁵³² fowls⁴⁰⁷¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ air.³⁷⁷²

13 And²⁵³² there came¹⁰⁹⁶ a voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ to⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ Rise,⁴⁵⁰ Peter;⁴⁰⁷⁴ kill,²³⁸⁰ and²⁵³² eat.⁵³¹⁵

14 But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said,²⁰³⁶ Not so,³³⁶⁵ Lord;²⁹⁶² for³⁷⁵⁴ I have never³⁷⁶³ eaten⁵³¹⁵ any thing³⁹⁵⁶ that is common²⁸³⁹ or²²²⁸ unclean.¹⁶⁹

15 And²⁵³² the voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ spake unto⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ again³⁸²⁵ the¹⁵³⁷ second time,¹²⁰⁸ What³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ hath cleansed,²⁵¹¹ that call not thou common.²⁸⁴⁰ ³³⁶¹ ⁴⁷⁷¹

16 ¹¹⁶¹ This⁵¹²⁴ was¹⁰⁹⁶ done¹⁹⁰⁹ thrice:⁵¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ vessel⁴⁶³² was received up³⁵³ again³⁸²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven.³⁷⁷²

17 Now¹¹⁶¹ while⁵⁶¹³ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ doubted¹²⁸⁰ in¹⁷²² himself¹⁴³⁸ what⁵¹⁰¹ this vision³⁷⁰⁵ which³⁷³⁹ he had seen¹⁴⁹² should mean,¹⁴⁹⁸ ³⁰² ²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ men⁴³⁵ which were sent⁶⁴⁹ from⁵⁷⁵ Cornelius²⁸⁸³ had made inquiry¹³³¹ for Simon's⁴⁶¹³ house,³⁶¹⁴ and stood²¹⁸⁶ before¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ gate,⁴⁴⁴⁰

18 And²⁵³² called,⁵⁴⁵⁵ and asked⁴⁴⁴¹ whether¹⁴⁸⁷ Simon,⁴⁶¹³ which was surnamed¹⁹⁴¹ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴ were lodged³⁵⁷⁹ there.¹⁷⁵⁹

19 While¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ thought¹⁷⁶⁰ on⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ vision,³⁷⁰⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ three⁵¹⁴⁰ men⁴³⁵ seek²²¹² thee.⁴⁵⁷¹

20 Arise⁴⁵⁰ therefore,²³⁵ and get thee down,²⁵⁹⁷ and²⁵³² go⁴¹⁹⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² them,⁸⁴⁶ doubting¹²⁵² nothing:³³⁶⁷ for¹³⁶⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ have sent⁶⁴⁹ them.⁸⁴⁶

21 Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ went down²⁵⁹⁷ to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ men⁴³⁵ which were sent⁶⁴⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ Cornelius;²⁸⁸³ and said,²⁰³⁶ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ he whom³⁷³⁹ ye seek:²²¹² what⁵¹⁰¹ is the³⁵⁸⁸ cause¹⁵⁶ wherefore¹²²³ ³⁷³⁹ ye are come?³⁹¹⁸

22 And¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ Cornelius²⁸⁸³ the centurion,¹⁵⁴³ a just¹³⁴² man,⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² one that feareth⁵³⁹⁹ God,²³¹⁶ and⁵⁰³⁷ of good report³¹⁴⁰ among⁵²⁵⁹ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ nation¹⁴⁸⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ was warned from God⁵⁵³⁷ by⁵²⁵⁹ a holy⁴⁰ angel³² to send for³³⁴³ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ house,³⁶²⁴ and²⁵³² to hear¹⁹¹ words⁴⁴⁸⁷ of³⁸⁴⁴ thee.⁴⁶⁷⁵

23 Then³⁷⁶⁷ called he them in,¹⁵²⁸ ⁸⁴⁶ and lodged³⁵⁷⁹ them. And¹¹⁶¹ on the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow¹⁸⁸⁷ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ went away¹⁸³¹ with⁴⁸⁶² them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² certain⁵¹⁰⁰ brethren⁸⁰ from⁵⁷⁵ Joppa²⁴⁴⁵ accompanied⁴⁹⁰⁵ him.⁸⁴⁶

24 And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow after¹⁸⁸⁷ they entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea.²⁵⁴² And¹¹⁶¹ Cornelius²⁸⁸³ waited for²²⁵⁸ ⁴³²⁸ them,⁸⁴⁶ and had called together⁴⁷⁷⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ kinsmen⁴⁷⁷³ and²⁵³² near³¹⁶ friends.⁵³⁸⁴

25 And¹¹⁶¹ as⁵⁶¹³ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ was¹⁰⁹⁶ coming in,¹⁵²⁵ Cornelius²⁸⁸³ met⁴⁸⁷⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶ and fell down⁴⁰⁹⁸ at¹⁹⁰⁹ his feet,⁴²²⁸ and worshipped⁴³⁵² him.

26 But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ took him up,¹⁴⁵³ ⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Stand up;⁴⁵⁰ I myself also²⁵⁰⁴ ⁸⁴⁶ am¹⁵¹⁰ a man.⁴⁴⁴

27 And²⁵³² as he talked with⁴⁹²⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶ he went in,¹⁵²⁵ and²⁵³² found²¹⁴⁷ many⁴¹⁸³ that were come together.⁴⁹⁰⁵

28 And⁵⁰³⁷ he said⁵³⁴⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Ye⁵²¹⁰ know¹⁹⁸⁷ how⁵⁶¹³ that it is²⁰⁷⁶ an unlawful thing¹¹¹ for a man⁴³⁵ that is a Jew²⁴⁵³ to keep company,²⁸⁵³ or²²²⁸ come unto⁴³³⁴ one of another nation;²⁴⁶ but²⁵³² God²³¹⁶ hath showed¹¹⁶⁶ me¹⁶⁹⁸ that I should not call³⁰⁰⁴ any³³⁶⁷ man⁴⁴⁴ common²⁸³⁹ or²²²⁸ unclean.¹⁶⁹

29 Therefore¹³⁵² ²⁵³² came²⁰⁶⁴ I unto you without gainsaying,³⁶⁹ as soon as I was sent for:³³⁴³ I ask⁴⁴⁴¹ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ for what⁵¹⁰¹ intent³⁰⁵⁶ ye have sent for³³⁴³ me?³¹⁶⁵

30 And²⁵³² Cornelius²⁸⁸³ said,⁵³⁴⁶ Four⁵⁰⁶⁷ days²²⁵⁰ ago⁵⁷⁵ I was²²⁵² fasting³⁵²² until³³⁶⁰ this⁵⁰²⁶ hour;⁵⁶¹⁰ and²⁵³² at the³⁵⁸⁸ ninth¹⁷⁶⁶ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ I prayed⁴³³⁶ in¹⁷²² my³⁴⁵⁰ house,³⁶²⁴ and,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ a man⁴³⁵ stood²⁴⁷⁶ before¹⁷⁹⁹ me³⁴⁵⁰ in¹⁷²² bright²⁹⁸⁶ clothing,²⁰⁶⁶

31 And²⁵³² said,⁵³⁴⁶ Cornelius,²⁸⁸³ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ prayer⁴³³⁵ is heard,¹⁵²² and²⁵³² thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ alms¹⁶⁵⁴ are had in remembrance³⁴¹⁵ in the sight¹⁷⁹⁹ of God.²³¹⁶

32 Send³⁹⁹² therefore³⁷⁶⁷ to¹⁵¹⁹ Joppa,²⁴⁴⁵ and²⁵³² call hither³³³³ Simon,⁴⁶¹³ whose³⁷³⁹ surname is¹⁹⁴¹ Peter;⁴⁰⁷⁴ he³⁷⁷⁸ is lodged³⁵⁷⁹ in¹⁷²² the house³⁶¹⁴ of one Simon⁴⁶¹³ a tanner¹⁰³⁸ by³⁸⁴⁴ the sea side:²²⁸¹ who,³⁷³⁹ when he cometh,³⁸⁵⁴ shall speak²⁹⁸⁰ unto thee.⁴⁶⁷¹

33 Immediately¹⁸²⁴ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ I sent³⁹⁹² to⁴³¹⁴ thee;⁴⁵⁷¹ and⁵⁰³⁷ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ hast well²⁵⁷³ done⁴¹⁶⁰ that thou art come.³⁸⁵⁴ Now³⁵⁶⁸ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ are we all here present³⁹¹⁸ ²²⁴⁹ ³⁹⁵⁶ before¹⁷⁹⁹ God,²³¹⁶ to hear¹⁹¹ all things³⁹⁵⁶ that are commanded⁴³⁶⁷ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ of⁵²⁵⁹ God.²³¹⁶

34 Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ opened⁴⁵⁵ his mouth,⁴⁷⁵⁰ and said,²⁰³⁶ Of¹⁹⁰⁹ a truth²²⁵ I perceive²⁶³⁸ that³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ no³⁷⁵⁶ respecter of persons:⁴³⁸¹

35 But²³⁵ in¹⁷²² every³⁹⁵⁶ nation¹⁴⁸⁴ he that feareth⁵³⁹⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² worketh²⁰³⁸ righteousness,¹³⁴³ is²⁰⁷⁶ accepted¹¹⁸⁴ with him.⁸⁴⁶

36 The³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ which³⁷³⁹ God sent⁶⁴⁹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ preaching²⁰⁹⁷ peace¹⁵¹⁵ by¹²²³ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷ (he³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ Lord²⁹⁶² of all:)³⁹⁵⁶

37 That word,⁴⁴⁸⁷ I say, ye⁵²¹⁰ know,¹⁴⁹² which was published¹⁰⁹⁶ throughout²⁵⁹⁶ all³⁶⁵⁰ Judea,²⁴⁴⁹ and began⁷⁵⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ Galilee,¹⁰⁵⁶ after³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ baptism⁹⁰⁸ which³⁷³⁹ John²⁴⁹¹ preached;²⁷⁸⁴

38 How⁵⁶¹³ God²³¹⁶ anointed⁵⁵⁴⁸ Jesus²⁴²⁴ of⁵⁷⁵ Nazareth³⁴⁷⁸ with the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² with power:¹⁴¹¹ who³⁷³⁹ went about¹³³⁰ doing good,²¹⁰⁹ and²⁵³² healing²³⁹⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ that were oppressed²⁶¹⁶ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ devil;¹²²⁸ for³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ was²²⁵⁸ with³³²⁶ him.⁸⁴⁶

39 And²⁵³² we²²⁴⁹ are²⁰⁷⁰ witnesses³¹⁴⁴ of all things³⁹⁵⁶ which³⁷³⁹ he did⁴¹⁶⁰ both⁵⁰³⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ land⁵⁵⁶¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² Jerusalem;²⁴¹⁹ whom³⁷³⁹ they slew³³⁷ and hanged²⁹¹⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ a tree:³⁵⁸⁶

40 Him⁵¹²⁶ God²³¹⁶ raised up¹⁴⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ third⁵¹⁵⁴ day,²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² showed him openly;¹³²⁵ ⁸⁴⁶ ¹⁰⁹⁶ ¹⁷¹⁷

41 Not³⁷⁵⁶ to all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² but²³⁵ unto witnesses³¹⁴⁴ chosen before⁴⁴⁰¹ of⁵²⁵⁹ God,²³¹⁶ even to us,²²⁵⁴ who³⁷⁴⁸ did eat⁴⁹⁰⁶ and²⁵³² drink with⁴⁸⁴⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ after he⁸⁴⁶ rose⁴⁵⁰ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead.³⁴⁹⁸

42 And²⁵³² he commanded³⁸⁵³ us²²⁵⁴ to preach²⁷⁸⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² to testify¹²⁶³ that³⁷⁵⁴ it is²⁰⁷⁶ he⁸⁴⁶ which was ordained³⁷²⁴ of⁵²⁵⁹ God²³¹⁶ to be the Judge²⁹²³ of quick²¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² dead.³⁴⁹⁸

43 To him⁵¹²⁹ give all the prophets witness,³¹⁴⁰ ³⁹⁵⁶ ³⁵⁸⁸ ⁴³⁹⁶ that through¹²²³ his⁸⁴⁶ name³⁶⁸⁶ whosoever³⁹⁵⁶ believeth⁴¹⁰⁰ in¹⁵¹⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ shall receive²⁹⁸³ remission⁸⁵⁹ of sins.²⁶⁶

44 While Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ yet²⁰⁸⁹ spake²⁹⁸⁰ these⁵⁰²³ words,⁴⁴⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ fell¹⁹⁶⁸ on¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ them which heard¹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word.³⁰⁵⁶

45 And²⁵³² they of the circumcision which believed⁴¹⁰³ ¹⁵³⁷ ⁴⁰⁶¹ were astonished,¹⁸³⁹ as many as³⁷⁴⁵ came with⁴⁹⁰⁵ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴ because³⁷⁵⁴ that on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ also²⁵³² was poured out¹⁶³² the³⁵⁸⁸ gift¹⁴³¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

46 For¹⁰⁶³ they heard¹⁹¹ them⁸⁴⁶ speak²⁹⁸⁰ with tongues,¹¹⁰⁰ and²⁵³² magnify³¹⁷⁰ God.²³¹⁶ Then⁵¹¹⁹ answered⁶¹¹ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴

47 Can¹⁴¹⁰ any man⁵¹⁰⁰ forbid²⁹⁶⁷ ³³⁸⁵ water,⁵²⁰⁴ that these⁵¹²⁸ should not³³⁶¹ be baptized,⁹⁰⁷ which³⁷⁴⁸ have received²⁹⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ as well as²⁵³¹ ²⁵³² we?²²⁴⁹

48 And⁵⁰³⁷ he commanded⁴³⁶⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ to be baptized⁹⁰⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶² Then⁵¹¹⁹ prayed²⁰⁶⁵ they him⁸⁴⁶ to tarry¹⁹⁶¹ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ days.²²⁵⁰

Acts 11: 1-30

1 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² and²⁵³² brethren⁸⁰ that were⁵⁶⁰⁷ in²⁵⁹⁶ Judea²⁴⁴⁹ heard¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ had also²⁵³² received¹²⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God.²³¹⁶

2 And²⁵³² when³⁷⁵³ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ was come up³⁰⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ they³⁵⁸⁸ that were of¹⁵³⁷ the circumcision⁴⁰⁶¹ contended¹²⁵² with⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶

3 Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Thou wentest in¹⁵²⁵ to⁴³¹⁴ men⁴³⁵ uncircumcised,²⁰³ and²⁵³² didst eat with⁴⁹⁰⁶ them.⁸⁴⁶

4 But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ rehearsed the matter from the beginning,⁷⁵⁶ and expounded¹⁶²⁰ it by order²⁵¹⁷ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴

5 I¹⁴⁷³ was²²⁵² in¹⁷²² the city⁴¹⁷² of Joppa²⁴⁴⁵ praying:⁴³³⁶ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² a trance¹⁶¹¹ I saw¹⁴⁹² a vision,³⁷⁰⁵ A certain⁵¹⁰⁰ vessel⁴⁶³² descend,²⁵⁹⁷ as it had been⁵⁶¹³ a great³¹⁷³ sheet,³⁶⁰⁷ let down²⁵²⁴ from¹⁵³⁷ heaven³⁷⁷² by four⁵⁰⁶⁴ corners;⁷⁴⁶ and²⁵³² it came²⁰⁶⁴ even to⁸⁹¹ me:¹⁷⁰⁰

6 Upon¹⁵¹⁹ the which³⁷³⁹ when I had fastened mine eyes,⁸¹⁶ I considered,²⁶⁵⁷ and²⁵³² saw¹⁴⁹² fourfooted beasts⁵⁰⁷⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth,¹⁰⁹³ and²⁵³² wild beasts,²³⁴² and²⁵³² creeping things,²⁰⁶² and²⁵³² fowls⁴⁰⁷¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ air.³⁷⁷²

7 And¹¹⁶¹ I heard¹⁹¹ a voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto me,³⁴²⁷ Arise,⁴⁵⁰ Peter;⁴⁰⁷⁴ slay²³⁸⁰ and²⁵³² eat.⁵³¹⁵

8 But¹¹⁶¹ I said,²⁰³⁶ Not so,³³⁶⁵ Lord:²⁹⁶² for³⁷⁵⁴ nothing³⁹⁵⁶ common²⁸³⁹ or²²²⁸ unclean¹⁶⁹ hath at any time³⁷⁶³ entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ mouth.⁴⁷⁵⁰

9 But¹¹⁶¹ the voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ answered⁶¹¹ me³⁴²⁷ again¹⁵³⁷ ¹²⁰⁸ from¹⁵³⁷ heaven,³⁷⁷² What³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ hath cleansed,²⁵¹¹ that call not thou common.²⁸⁴⁰ ³³⁶¹ ⁴⁷⁷¹

10 And¹¹⁶¹ this⁵¹²⁴ was done¹⁰⁹⁶ three times:⁵¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² all⁵³⁷ were drawn up³⁸⁵ again³⁸²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven.³⁷⁷²

11 And,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ immediately¹⁸²⁴ there were three⁵¹⁴⁰ men⁴³⁵ already come²¹⁸⁶ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ house³⁶¹⁴ where¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ I was,²²⁵² sent⁶⁴⁹ from⁵⁷⁵ Caesarea²⁵⁴² unto⁴³¹⁴ me.³¹⁶⁵

12 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ bade²⁰³⁶ me³⁴²⁷ go with⁴⁹⁰⁵ them,⁸⁴⁶ nothing³³⁶⁷ doubting.¹²⁵² Moreover¹¹⁶¹ these³⁷⁷⁸ six¹⁸⁰³ brethren⁸⁰ ²⁵³² accompanied²⁰⁶⁴ ⁴⁸⁶² me,¹⁶⁹⁸ and²⁵³² we entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ man's⁴³⁵ house:³⁶²⁴

13 And⁵⁰³⁷ he showed⁵¹⁸ us²²⁵⁴ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ he had seen¹⁴⁹² an angel³² in¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁶ house,³⁶²⁴ which stood²⁴⁷⁶ and²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Send⁶⁴⁹ men⁴³⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Joppa,²⁴⁴⁵ and²⁵³² call for³³⁴³ Simon,⁴⁶¹³ whose surname is¹⁹⁴¹ Peter;⁴⁰⁷⁴

14 Who³⁷³⁹ shall tell²⁹⁸⁰ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ words,⁴⁴⁸⁷ whereby¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ house³⁶²⁴ shall be saved.⁴⁹⁸²

15 And¹¹⁶¹ as I³¹⁶⁵ began⁷⁵⁶ to speak,²⁹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ fell¹⁹⁶⁸ on¹⁹⁰⁹ them,⁸⁴⁶ as⁵⁶¹⁸ ²⁵³² on¹⁹⁰⁹ us²²⁴⁸ at¹⁷²² the beginning.⁷⁴⁶

16 Then¹¹⁶¹ remembered³⁴¹⁵ I the³⁵⁸⁸ word⁴⁴⁸⁷ of the Lord,²⁹⁶² how⁵⁶¹³ that he said,³⁰⁰⁴ John²⁴⁹¹ indeed³³⁰³ baptized⁹⁰⁷ with water;⁵²⁰⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ ye⁵²¹⁰ shall be baptized⁹⁰⁷ with¹⁷²² the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

17 Forasmuch¹⁴⁸⁷ then³⁷⁶⁷ as God²³¹⁶ gave¹³²⁵ them⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ like²⁴⁷⁰ gift¹⁴³¹ as⁵⁶¹³ he did²⁵³² unto us,²²⁵⁴ who believed⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ;⁵⁵⁴⁷ what⁵¹⁰¹ was²²⁵² I, that I could¹⁴¹⁵ withstand²⁹⁶⁷ God?²³¹⁶

18 When¹¹⁶¹ they heard¹⁹¹ these things,⁵⁰²³ they held their peace,²²⁷⁰ and²⁵³² glorified¹³⁹² God,²³¹⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Then⁶⁸⁶ hath¹⁰⁶⁵ God²³¹⁶ also²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ granted¹³²⁵ repentance³³⁴¹ unto¹⁵¹⁹ life.²²²²

19 Now³⁷⁶⁷ they which were scattered abroad¹²⁸⁹ ³³⁰³ upon⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ persecution²³⁴⁷ that arose¹⁰⁹⁶ about¹⁹⁰⁹ Stephen⁴⁷³⁶ traveled¹³³⁰ as far as²¹⁹³ Phoenicia,⁵⁴⁰³ and²⁵³² Cyprus,²⁹⁵⁴ and²⁵³² Antioch,⁴⁹⁰ preaching²⁹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ to none³³⁶⁷ but¹⁵⁰⁸ unto the Jews²⁴⁵³ only.³⁴⁴⁰

20 And¹¹⁶¹ some⁵¹⁰⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ were²²⁵⁸ men⁴³⁵ of Cyprus²⁹⁵³ and²⁵³² Cyrene,²⁹⁵⁶ which,³⁷⁴⁸ when they were come¹⁵²⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Antioch,⁴⁹⁰ spake²⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Grecians,¹⁶⁷⁵ preaching²⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus.²⁴²⁴

21 And²⁵³² the hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ of the Lord²⁹⁶² was²²⁵⁸ with³³²⁶ them:⁸⁴⁶ and⁵⁰³⁷ a great⁴¹⁸³ number⁷⁰⁶ believed,⁴¹⁰⁰ and turned¹⁹⁹⁴ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶²

22 Then¹¹⁶¹ tidings of these things came³⁰⁵⁶ ⁴⁰¹² ⁸⁴⁶ ¹⁹¹ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ ears³⁷⁷⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ which³⁵⁸⁸ was in¹⁷²² Jerusalem:²⁴¹⁴ and²⁵³² they sent forth¹⁸²¹ Barnabas,⁹²¹ that he should go¹³³⁰ as far as²¹⁹³ Antioch.⁴⁹⁰

23 Who,³⁷³⁹ when he came,³⁸⁵⁴ and²⁵³² had seen¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of God,²³¹⁶ was glad,⁵⁴⁶³ and²⁵³² exhorted³⁸⁷⁰ them all,³⁹⁵⁶ that with purpose⁴²⁸⁶ of heart²⁵⁸⁸ they would cleave unto⁴³⁵⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶²

24 For³⁷⁵⁴ he was²²⁵⁸ a good¹⁸ man,⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² full⁴¹³⁴ of the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² of faith:⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² much²⁴²⁵ people³⁷⁹³ was added⁴³⁶⁹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶²

25 Then¹¹⁶¹ departed¹⁸³¹ Barnabas⁹²¹ to¹⁵¹⁹ Tarsus,⁵⁰¹⁹ for to seek³²⁷ Saul:⁴⁵⁶⁹

26 And²⁵³² when he had found²¹⁴⁷ him,⁸⁴⁶ he brought⁷¹ him⁸⁴⁶ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Antioch.⁴⁹⁰ And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ that a whole³⁶⁵⁰ year¹⁷⁶³ they⁸⁴⁶ assembled themselves⁴⁸⁶³ with¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ and²⁵³² taught¹³²¹ much²⁴²⁵ people.³⁷⁹³ And⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ were called⁵⁵³⁷ Christians⁵⁵⁴⁶ first⁴⁴¹² in¹⁷²² Antioch.⁴⁹⁰

27 And¹¹⁶¹ in¹⁷²² these⁵⁰²⁵ days²²⁵⁰ came²⁷¹⁸ prophets⁴³⁹⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁴ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Antioch.⁴⁹⁰

28 And¹¹⁶¹ there stood up⁴⁵⁰ one¹⁵²⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ named³⁶⁸⁶ Agabus,¹³ and signified⁴⁵⁹¹ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ that there should³¹⁹⁵ be¹⁵¹⁰ great³¹⁷³ dearth³⁰⁴² throughout¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ world:³⁶²⁵ which³⁷⁴⁸ ²⁵³² came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶ in the days of¹⁹⁰⁹ Claudius²⁸⁰⁴ Caesar.²⁵⁴¹

29 Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples,³¹⁰¹ every man¹⁵³⁸ according to²⁵³¹ his ability,⁵¹⁰⁰ ²¹⁴¹ determined³⁷²⁴ to send³⁹⁹² relief¹⁵¹⁹ ¹²⁴⁸ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ which dwelt²⁷³⁰ in¹⁷²² Judea:²⁴⁴⁹

30 Which³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² they did,⁴¹⁶⁰ and sent⁶⁴⁹ it to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ elders⁴²⁴⁵ by¹²²³ the hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ of Barnabas⁹²¹ and²⁵³² Saul.⁴⁵⁶⁹

Acts 12: 1-25

1 Now¹¹⁶¹ about²⁵⁹⁶ that¹⁵⁶⁵ time²⁵⁴⁰ Herod²²⁶⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ king⁹³⁵ stretched forth¹⁹¹¹ his hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ to vex²⁵⁵⁹ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ church.¹⁵⁷⁷

2 And¹¹⁶¹ he killed³³⁷ James²³⁸⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ brother⁸⁰ of John²⁴⁹¹ with the sword.³¹⁶²

3 And²⁵³² because he saw¹⁴⁹² it³⁷⁵⁴ pleased²⁰⁷⁶ ⁷⁰¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ he proceeded further⁴³⁶⁹ to take⁴⁸¹⁵ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ also.²⁵³² (Then¹¹⁶¹ were²²⁵⁸ the days²²⁵⁰ of unleavened bread.)¹⁰⁶

4 And²⁵³² when he³⁷³⁹ had apprehended⁴⁰⁸⁴ him, he put⁵⁰⁸⁷ him in¹⁵¹⁹ prison,⁵⁴³⁸ and delivered³⁸⁶⁰ him to four⁵⁰⁶⁴ quaternions⁵⁰⁶⁹ of soldiers⁴⁷⁵⁷ to keep⁵⁴⁴² him;⁸⁴⁶ intending¹⁰¹⁴ after³³²⁶ Easter³⁹⁵⁷ to bring him forth³²¹ ⁸⁴⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ people.²⁹⁹²

5 Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ was³³⁰³ kept⁵⁰⁸³ in¹⁷²² prison:⁵⁴³⁸ but¹¹⁶¹ prayer⁴³³⁵ was²²⁵⁸ made¹⁰⁹⁶ without ceasing¹⁶¹⁸ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ unto⁴³¹⁴ God²³¹⁶ for⁵²²⁸ him.⁸⁴⁶

6 And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ Herod²²⁶⁴ would³¹⁹⁵ have brought him forth,⁴²⁵⁴ ⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ same¹⁵⁶⁵ night³⁵⁷¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ was²²⁵⁸ sleeping²⁸³⁷ between³³⁴² two¹⁴¹⁷ soldiers,⁴⁷⁵⁷ bound¹²¹⁰ with two¹⁴¹⁷ chains:²⁵⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ the keepers⁵⁴⁴¹ before⁴²⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ door²³⁷⁴ kept⁵⁰⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ prison.⁵⁴³⁸

7 And,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the angel³² of the Lord²⁹⁶² came upon²¹⁸⁶ him, and²⁵³² a light⁵⁴⁵⁷ shined²⁹⁸⁹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ prison:³⁶¹² and¹¹⁶¹ he smote³⁹⁶⁰ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ on the³⁵⁸⁸ side,⁴¹²⁵ and raised him up,¹⁴⁵³ ⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Arise up⁴⁵⁰ quickly.¹⁷²² ⁵⁰³⁴ And²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ chains²⁵⁴ fell off¹⁶⁰¹ from¹⁵³⁷ his hands.⁵⁴⁹⁵

8 And⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ Gird thyself,⁴⁰²⁴ and²⁵³² bind⁵²⁶⁵ on thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ sandals.⁴⁵⁴⁷ And¹¹⁶¹ so³⁷⁷⁹ he did.⁴¹⁶⁰ And²⁵³² he saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Cast thy garment about⁴⁰¹⁶ ⁴⁶⁷⁵ ²⁴⁴⁰ thee, and²⁵³² follow¹⁹⁰ me.³⁴²⁷

9 And²⁵³² he went out,¹⁸³¹ and followed¹⁹⁰ him;⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² wist¹⁴⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ it was²⁰⁷⁶ true²²⁷ which was done¹⁰⁹⁶ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ angel;³² but¹¹⁶¹ thought¹³⁸⁰ he saw⁹⁹¹ a vision.³⁷⁰⁵

10 When¹¹⁶¹ they were past¹³³⁰ the first⁴⁴¹³ and²⁵³² the second¹²⁰⁸ ward,⁵⁴³⁸ they came²⁰⁶⁴ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ iron⁴⁶⁰³ gate⁴⁴³⁹ that leadeth⁵³⁴² unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ city;⁴¹⁷² which³⁷⁴⁸ opened⁴⁵⁵ to them⁸⁴⁶ of his own accord:⁸⁴⁴ and²⁵³² they went out,¹⁸³¹ and passed on⁴²⁸¹ through one³³⁹¹ street;⁴⁵⁰⁵ and²⁵³² forthwith²¹¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² departed⁸⁶⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ him.⁸⁴⁶

11 And²⁵³² when Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ was come¹⁰⁹⁶ to¹⁷²² himself,¹⁴³⁸ he said,²⁰³⁶ Now³⁵⁶⁸ I know¹⁴⁹² of a surety,²³⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ the Lord²⁹⁶² hath sent¹⁸²¹ his⁸⁴⁸ angel,³² and²⁵³² hath delivered¹⁸⁰⁷ me³¹⁶⁵ out of¹⁵³⁷ the hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ of Herod,²²⁶⁴ and²⁵³² from all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ expectation⁴³²⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews.²⁴⁵³

12 And⁵⁰³⁷ when he had considered⁴⁸⁹⁴ the thing, he came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ house³⁶¹⁴ of Mary³¹³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ mother³³⁸⁴ of John,²⁴⁹¹ whose surname¹⁹⁴¹ was Mark;³¹³⁸ where³⁷⁵⁷ many²⁴²⁵ were²²⁵⁸ gathered together⁴⁸⁶⁷ ²⁵³² praying.⁴³³⁶

13 And¹¹⁶¹ as Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ knocked²⁹²⁵ at the³⁵⁸⁸ door²³⁷⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ gate,⁴⁴⁴⁰ a damsel³⁸¹⁴ came⁴³³⁴ to hearken,⁵²¹⁹ named³⁶⁸⁶ Rhoda.⁴⁴⁹⁸

14 And²⁵³² when she knew¹⁹²¹ Peter's⁴⁰⁷⁴ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ she opened⁴⁵⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ gate⁴⁴⁴⁰ for⁵⁷⁵ gladness,⁵⁴⁷⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ ran in,¹⁵³² and told⁵¹⁸ how Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ stood²⁴⁷⁶ before⁴²⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ gate.⁴⁴⁴⁰

15 And¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ her,⁸⁴⁶ Thou art mad.³¹⁰⁵ But¹¹⁶¹ she³⁵⁸⁸ constantly affirmed¹³⁴⁰ that it was²¹⁹² even so.³⁷⁷⁹ Then¹¹⁶¹ said³⁰⁰⁴ they,³⁵⁸⁸ It is²⁰⁷⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ angel.³²

16 But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ continued¹⁹⁶¹ knocking:²⁹²⁵ and¹¹⁶¹ when they had opened⁴⁵⁵ the door, and saw¹⁴⁹² him,⁸⁴⁶ they were²⁵³² astonished.¹⁸³⁹

17 But¹¹⁶¹ he, beckoning²⁶⁷⁸ unto them⁸⁴⁶ with the³⁵⁸⁸ hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ to hold their peace,⁴⁶⁰¹ declared¹³³⁴ unto them⁸⁴⁶ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² had brought¹⁸⁰⁶ him⁸⁴⁶ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ prison.⁵⁴³⁸ And¹¹⁶¹ he said,²⁰³⁶ Go show⁵¹⁸ these things⁵⁰²³ unto James,²³⁸⁵ and²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren.⁸⁰ And²⁵³² he departed,¹⁸³¹ and went⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ another²⁰⁸⁷ place.⁵¹¹⁷

18 Now¹¹⁶¹ as soon as it was¹⁰⁹⁶ day,²²⁵⁰ there was²²⁵⁸ no³⁷⁵⁶ small³⁶⁴¹ stir⁵⁰¹⁷ among¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers,⁴⁷⁵⁷ what⁵¹⁰¹ was⁶⁸⁶ become¹⁰⁹⁶ of Peter.⁴⁰⁷⁴

19 And¹¹⁶¹ when Herod²²⁶⁴ had sought for¹⁹³⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² found²¹⁴⁷ him not,³³⁶¹ he examined³⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ keepers,⁵⁴⁴¹ and commanded²⁷⁵³ that they should be put to death.⁵²⁰ And²⁵³² he went down²⁷¹⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ Judea²⁴⁴⁹ to¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea,²⁵⁴² and there abode.¹³⁰⁴

20 And¹¹⁶¹ Herod²²⁶⁴ was²²⁵⁸ highly displeased²³⁷¹ with them of Tyre⁵¹⁸³ and²⁵³² Sidon:⁴⁶⁰⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ they came³⁹¹⁸ with one accord³⁶⁶¹ to⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ and,²⁵³² having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend,³⁹⁸² ⁹⁸⁶ ³⁵⁸⁸ ⁹³⁵ ¹⁹⁰⁹ ²⁸⁴⁶ desired¹⁵⁴ peace;¹⁵¹⁵ because their⁸⁴⁶ country⁵⁵⁶¹ was nourished⁵¹⁴² by⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ king's⁹³⁷ country.

21 And¹¹⁶¹ upon a set⁵⁰⁰² day²²⁵⁰ Herod,²²⁶⁴ arrayed¹⁷⁴⁶ in royal⁹³⁷ apparel,²⁰⁶⁶ ²⁵³² sat²⁵²³ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ his throne,⁹⁶⁸ and made an oration¹²¹⁵ unto⁴³¹⁴ them.⁸⁴⁶

22 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people¹²¹⁸ gave a shout,²⁰¹⁹ saying, It is the voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ of a god,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² not³⁷⁵⁶ of a man.⁴⁴⁴

23 And¹¹⁶¹ immediately³⁹¹⁶ the angel³² of the Lord²⁹⁶² smote³⁹⁶⁰ him,⁸⁴⁶ because⁴⁷³ ³⁷³⁹ he gave¹³²⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ God²³¹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ glory:¹³⁹¹ and²⁵³² he was¹⁰⁹⁶ eaten of worms,⁴⁶⁶² and gave up the ghost.¹⁶³⁴

24 But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²³¹⁶ grew⁸³⁷ and²⁵³² multiplied.⁴¹²⁹

25 And¹¹⁶¹ Barnabas⁹²¹ and²⁵³² Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ returned⁵²⁹⁰ from¹⁵³⁷ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ when they had fulfilled⁴¹³⁷ their ministry,¹²⁴⁸ and²⁵³² took with⁴⁸³⁸ them John,²⁴⁹¹ whose surname was¹⁹⁴¹ Mark.³¹³⁸

Acts 13: 1-52

1 Now¹¹⁶¹ there were²²⁵⁸ in²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ that was⁵⁶⁰⁷ at¹⁷²² Antioch⁴⁹⁰ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ prophets⁴³⁹⁶ and²⁵³² teachers;¹³²⁰ as⁵⁰³⁷ ³⁷³⁹ Barnabas,⁹²¹ and²⁵³² Simeon⁴⁸²⁶ that was called²⁵⁶⁴ Niger,³⁵²⁶ and²⁵³² Lucius³⁰⁶⁶ of Cyrene,²⁹⁵⁶ and⁵⁰³⁷ Manaen,³¹²⁷ which had been brought up with⁴⁹³⁹ Herod²²⁶⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ tetrarch,⁵⁰⁷⁶ and²⁵³² Saul.⁴⁵⁶⁹

2 As¹¹⁶¹ they⁸⁴⁶ ministered³⁰⁰⁸ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² fasted,³⁵²² the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ said,²⁰³⁶ Separate⁸⁷³ ¹²¹¹ me³⁴²⁷ ⁵⁰³⁷ Barnabas⁹²¹ and²⁵³² Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ for¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ work²⁰⁴¹ whereunto³⁷³⁹ I have called⁴³⁴¹ them.⁸⁴⁶

3 And when⁵¹¹⁹ they had fasted³⁵²² and²⁵³² prayed,⁴³³⁶ and²⁵³² laid²⁰⁰⁷ their hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ on them,⁸⁴⁶ they sent them away.⁶³⁰

4 So³⁷⁶⁷ they,³⁷⁷⁸ being³³⁰³ sent forth¹⁵⁹⁹ by⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ departed²⁷¹⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Seleucia;⁴⁵⁸¹ and⁵⁰³⁷ from thence¹⁵⁶⁴ they sailed⁶³⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Cyprus.²⁹⁵⁴

5 And²⁵³² when they were¹⁰⁹⁶ at¹⁷²² Salamis,⁴⁵²⁹ they preached²⁶⁰⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²³¹⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogues⁴⁸⁶⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews:²⁴⁵³ and¹¹⁶¹ they had²¹⁹² also²⁵³² John²⁴⁹¹ to their minister.⁵²⁵⁷

6 And¹¹⁶¹ when they had gone through¹³³⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ isle³⁵²⁰ unto⁸⁹¹ Paphos,³⁹⁷⁴ they found²¹⁴⁷ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ sorcerer,³⁰⁹⁷ a false prophet,⁵⁵⁷⁸ a Jew,²⁴⁵³ whose³⁷³⁹ name³⁶⁸⁶ was Barjesus:⁹¹⁹

7 Which³⁷³⁹ was²²⁵⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ deputy of the country,⁴⁴⁶ Sergius⁴⁵⁸⁸ Paulus,³⁹⁷² a prudent⁴⁹⁰⁸ man;⁴³⁵ who³⁷⁷⁸ called for⁴³⁴¹ Barnabas⁹²¹ and²⁵³² Saul,⁴⁵⁶⁹ and desired¹⁹³⁴ to hear¹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God.²³¹⁶

8 But¹¹⁶¹ Elymas¹⁶⁸¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sorcerer³⁰⁹⁷ (for¹⁰⁶³ so³⁷⁷⁹ is his name by interpretation)³¹⁷⁷ ⁸⁴⁶ ³⁶⁸⁶ withstood⁴³⁶ them,⁸⁴⁶ seeking²²¹² to turn away¹²⁹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ deputy⁴⁴⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ faith.⁴¹⁰²

9 Then¹¹⁶¹ Saul,⁴⁵⁶⁹ (who³⁵⁸⁸ also²⁵³² is called Paul,)³⁹⁷² filled⁴¹³⁰ with the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ ²⁵³² set his eyes⁸¹⁶ on¹⁵¹⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶

10 And said,²⁰³⁶ O⁵⁵⁹⁹ full⁴¹³⁴ of all³⁹⁵⁶ subtlety¹³⁸⁸ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ mischief,⁴⁴⁶⁸ thou child⁵²⁰⁷ of the devil,¹²²⁸ thou enemy²¹⁹⁰ of all³⁹⁵⁶ righteousness,¹³⁴³ wilt thou not³⁷⁵⁶ cease³⁹⁷³ to pervert¹²⁹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ right²¹¹⁷ ways³⁵⁹⁸ of the Lord?²⁹⁶²

11 And²⁵³² now,³⁵⁶⁸ behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² is upon¹⁹⁰⁹ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ and²⁵³² thou shalt be²⁰⁷¹ blind,⁵¹⁸⁵ not³³⁶¹ seeing⁹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sun²²⁴⁶ for⁸⁹¹ a season.²⁵⁴⁰ And¹¹⁶¹ immediately³⁹¹⁶ there fell¹⁹⁶⁸ on¹⁹⁰⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ a mist⁸⁸⁷ and²⁵³² a darkness;⁴⁶⁵⁵ and²⁵³² he went about⁴⁰¹³ seeking²²¹² some to lead him by the hand.⁵⁴⁹⁷

12 Then⁵¹¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ deputy,⁴⁴⁶ when he saw¹⁴⁹² what was done,¹⁰⁹⁶ believed,⁴¹⁰⁰ being astonished¹⁶⁰⁵ at¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ doctrine¹³²² of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶²

13 Now¹¹⁶¹ when Paul³⁹⁷² and his company⁴⁰¹² loosed³²¹ from⁵⁷⁵ Paphos,³⁹⁷⁴ they came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Perga⁴⁰¹¹ in Pamphylia:³⁸²⁸ and¹¹⁶¹ John²⁴⁹¹ departing⁶⁷² from⁵⁷⁵ them⁸⁴⁶ returned⁵²⁹⁰ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem.²⁴¹⁴

14 But¹¹⁶¹ when they⁸⁴⁶ departed¹³³⁰ from⁵⁷⁵ Perga,⁴⁰¹¹ they came³⁸⁵⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Antioch⁴⁹⁰ in Pisidia,⁴⁰⁹⁹ and²⁵³² went¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue⁴⁸⁶⁴ on the³⁵⁸⁸ sabbath⁴⁵²¹ day,²²⁵⁰ and sat down.²⁵²³

15 And¹¹⁶¹ after³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ reading³²⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets⁴³⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ rulers of the synagogue⁷⁵² sent⁶⁴⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Ye men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ if¹⁴⁸⁷ ye have²⁰⁷⁶ ¹⁷²² ⁵²¹³ any word³⁰⁵⁶ of exhortation³⁸⁷⁴ for⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² say on.³⁰⁰⁴

16 Then¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² stood up,⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² beckoning²⁶⁷⁸ with his hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ said,²⁰³⁶ Men⁴³⁵ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁵ and²⁵³² ye that fear⁵³⁹⁹ God,²³¹⁶ give audience.¹⁹¹

17 The³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of this⁵¹²⁷ people²⁹⁹² of Israel²⁴⁷⁴ chose¹⁵⁸⁶ our²²⁵⁷ fathers,³⁹⁶² and²⁵³² exalted⁵³¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² when¹⁷²² they dwelt as strangers³⁹⁴⁰ in¹⁷²² the land¹⁰⁹³ of Egypt,¹²⁵ and²⁵³² with³³²⁶ a high⁵³⁰⁸ arm¹⁰²³ brought¹⁸⁰⁶ he them⁸⁴⁶ out of¹⁵³⁷ it.⁸⁴⁶

18 And²⁵³² about⁵⁶¹³ the time⁵⁵⁵⁰ of forty years⁵⁰⁶³ suffered he their manners⁵¹⁵⁹ ⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ wilderness.²⁰⁴⁸

19 And²⁵³² when he had destroyed²⁵⁰⁷ seven²⁰³³ nations¹⁴⁸⁴ in¹⁷²² the land¹⁰⁹³ of Canaan,⁵⁴⁷⁷ he divided their land to them by lot.²⁶²⁴ ⁸⁴⁶ ¹⁰⁹³ ⁸⁴⁶

20 And²⁵³² after³³²⁶ that⁵⁰²³ he gave¹³²⁵ unto them judges²⁹²³ about the space of⁵⁶¹³ four hundred⁵⁰⁷¹ and²⁵³² fifty⁴⁰⁰⁴ years,²⁰⁹⁴ until²¹⁹³ Samuel⁴⁵⁴⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet.⁴³⁹⁶

21 And afterward²⁵⁴⁷ they desired¹⁵⁴ a king:⁹³⁵ and²⁵³² God²³¹⁶ gave¹³²⁵ unto them⁸⁴⁶ Saul⁴⁵⁴⁹ the son⁵²⁰⁷ of Kish,²⁷⁹⁷ a man⁴³⁵ of¹⁵³⁷ the tribe⁵⁴⁴³ of Benjamin,⁹⁵⁸ by the space of forty⁵⁰⁶² years.²⁰⁹⁴

22 And²⁵³² when he had removed³¹⁷⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ he raised up¹⁴⁵³ unto them⁸⁴⁶ David¹¹³⁸ to be their king;¹⁵¹⁹ ⁹³⁵ to whom³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² he gave testimony,³¹⁴⁰ and said,²⁰³⁶ I have found²¹⁴⁷ David¹¹³⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ son of Jesse,²⁴²¹ a man⁴³⁵ after²⁵⁹⁶ mine own³⁴⁵⁰ heart,²⁵⁸⁸ which³⁷³⁹ shall fulfil⁴¹⁶⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ my³⁴⁵⁰ will.²³⁰⁷

23 Of⁵⁷⁵ this man's⁵¹²⁷ seed⁴⁶⁹⁰ hath God²³¹⁶ according²⁵⁹⁶ to his promise¹⁸⁶⁰ raised¹⁴⁵³ unto Israel²⁴⁷⁴ a Savior,⁴⁹⁹⁰ Jesus:²⁴²⁴

24 When John²⁴⁹¹ had first preached⁴²⁹⁶ before⁴²⁵³ his⁸⁴⁶ coming¹⁵²⁹ ⁴³⁸³ the baptism⁹⁰⁸ of repentance³³⁴¹ to all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² of Israel.²⁴⁷⁴

25 And¹¹⁶¹ as⁵⁶¹³ John²⁴⁹¹ fulfilled⁴¹³⁷ his course,¹⁴⁰⁸ he said,³⁰⁰⁴ Whom⁵¹⁰¹ think⁵²⁸² ye that I³¹⁶⁵ am?¹⁵¹¹ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ he. But,²³⁵ behold,²⁴⁰⁰ there cometh²⁰⁶⁴ one after³³²⁶ me,¹⁶⁹¹ whose³⁷³⁹ shoes⁵²⁶⁶ of his feet⁴²²⁸ I am¹⁵¹⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ worthy⁵¹⁴ to loose.³⁰⁸⁹

26 Men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ children⁵²⁰⁷ of the stock¹⁰⁸⁵ of Abraham,¹¹ and²⁵³² whosoever among¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ feareth⁵³⁹⁹ God,²³¹⁶ to you⁵²¹³ is the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of this⁵⁰²⁶ salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ sent.⁶⁴⁹

27 For¹⁰⁶³ they that dwell²⁷³⁰ at¹⁷²² Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ and²⁵³² their⁸⁴⁶ rulers,⁷⁵⁸ because they knew him not,⁵⁰ ⁵¹²⁶ nor²⁵³² yet the³⁵⁸⁸ voices⁵⁴⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets⁴³⁹⁶ which are read³¹⁴ every²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁹⁵⁶ sabbath day,⁴⁵²¹ they have fulfilled⁴¹³⁷ them in condemning²⁹¹⁹ him.

28 And²⁵³² though they found²¹⁴⁷ no³³⁶⁷ cause¹⁵⁶ of death²²⁸⁸ in him, yet desired¹⁵⁴ they Pilate⁴⁰⁹¹ that he⁸⁴⁶ should be slain.³³⁷

29 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ they had fulfilled⁵⁰⁵⁵ all⁵³⁷ that was written¹¹²⁵ of⁴⁰¹² him,⁸⁴⁶ they took him down²⁵⁰⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ tree,³⁵⁸⁶ and laid⁵⁰⁸⁷ him in¹⁵¹⁹ a sepulcher.³⁴¹⁹

30 But¹¹⁶¹ God²³¹⁶ raised¹⁴⁵³ him⁸⁴⁶ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead:³⁴⁹⁸

31 And he³⁷³⁹ was seen³⁷⁰⁰ many⁴¹¹⁹ days²²⁵⁰ of them which came up with⁴⁸⁷² him⁸⁴⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ Galilee¹⁰⁵⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ who³⁷⁴⁸ are¹⁵²⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ witnesses³¹⁴⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ people.²⁹⁹²

32 And²⁵³² we²²⁴⁹ declare unto you glad tidings,²⁰⁹⁷ ⁵²⁰⁹ how that the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ which was made¹⁰⁹⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ fathers,³⁹⁶²

33 ³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ hath fulfilled¹⁶⁰³ the same⁵⁰²⁶ unto us²²⁵⁴ their⁸⁴⁶ children,⁵⁰⁴³ in that he hath raised up Jesus again;⁴⁵⁰ ²⁴²⁴ as⁵⁶¹³ it is also²⁵³² written¹¹²⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ second¹²⁰⁸ psalm,⁵⁵⁶⁸ Thou⁴⁷⁷¹ art¹⁴⁸⁸ my³⁴⁵⁰ Son,⁵²⁰⁷ this day⁴⁵⁹⁴ have I¹⁴⁷³ begotten¹⁰⁸⁰ thee.⁴⁵⁷¹

34 And¹¹⁶¹ as concerning that³⁷⁵⁴ he raised him up⁴⁵⁰ ⁸⁴⁶ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead,³⁴⁹⁸ now no more³³⁷¹ to³¹⁹⁵ return⁵²⁹⁰ to¹⁵¹⁹ corruption,¹³¹² he said²⁰⁴⁶ on this wise,³⁷⁷⁹ I will give¹³²⁵ you⁵²¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ sure⁴¹⁰³ mercies³⁷⁴¹ of David.¹¹³⁸

35 Wherefore¹³⁵² he saith³⁰⁰⁴ also²⁵³² in¹⁷²² another²⁰⁸⁷ psalm, Thou shalt not³⁷⁵⁶ suffer¹³²⁵ thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ Holy One³⁷⁴¹ to see¹⁴⁹² corruption.¹³¹²

36 For¹⁰⁶³ David,¹¹³⁸ after he³³⁰³ had served⁵²⁵⁶ his own²³⁹⁸ generation¹⁰⁷⁴ by the³⁵⁸⁸ will¹⁰¹² of God,²³¹⁶ fell on sleep,²⁸³⁷ and²⁵³² was laid⁴³⁶⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ his⁸⁴⁸ fathers,³⁹⁶² and²⁵³² saw¹⁴⁹² corruption:¹³¹²

37 But¹¹⁶¹ he, whom³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ raised again,¹⁴⁵³ saw¹⁴⁹² no³⁷⁵⁶ corruption.¹³¹²

38 Be²⁰⁷⁷ it known¹¹¹⁰ unto you⁵²¹³ therefore,³⁷⁶⁷ men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ through¹²²³ this man⁵¹²⁷ is preached²⁶⁰⁵ unto you⁵²¹³ the forgiveness⁸⁵⁹ of sins:²⁶⁶

39 And²⁵³² by¹⁷²² him⁵¹²⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ that believe⁴¹⁰⁰ are justified¹³⁴⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ all things,³⁹⁵⁶ from which³⁷³⁹ ye could¹⁴¹⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ be justified¹³⁴⁴ by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ of Moses.³⁴⁷⁵

40 Beware⁹⁹¹ therefore,³⁷⁶⁷ lest³³⁶¹ that come¹⁹⁰⁴ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ you,⁵²⁰⁹ which is spoken of²⁰⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets;⁴³⁹⁶

41 Behold,¹⁴⁹² ye despisers,²⁷⁰⁷ and²⁵³² wonder,²²⁹⁶ and²⁵³² perish:⁸⁵³ for³⁷⁵⁴ I¹⁴⁷³ work²⁰³⁸ a work²⁰⁴¹ in¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ days,²²⁵⁰ a work²⁰⁴¹ which³⁷³⁹ ye shall in no wise³³⁶⁴ believe,⁴¹⁰⁰ though¹⁴³⁷ a man⁵¹⁰⁰ declare¹⁵⁵⁵ it unto you.⁵²¹³

42 And¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ were gone¹⁸²⁶ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue,⁴⁸⁶⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ besought³⁸⁷⁰ that these⁵⁰²³ words⁴⁴⁸⁷ might be preached²⁹⁸⁰ to them⁸⁴⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ next³³⁴² sabbath.⁴⁵²¹

43 Now¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ congregation⁴⁸⁶⁴ was broken up,³⁰⁸⁹ many⁴¹⁸³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² religious⁴⁵⁷⁶ proselytes⁴³³⁹ followed¹⁹⁰ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Barnabas:⁹²¹ who,³⁷⁴⁸ speaking to⁴³⁵⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ persuaded³⁹⁸² them⁸⁴⁶ to continue¹⁹⁶¹ in the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of God.²³¹⁶

44 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ next²⁰⁶⁴ sabbath day⁴⁵²¹ came almost the whole city together⁴⁸⁶³ ⁴⁹⁷⁵ ³⁵⁸⁸ ³⁹⁵⁶ ⁴¹⁷² to hear¹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God.²³¹⁶

45 But¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ saw¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ multitudes,³⁷⁹³ they were filled⁴¹³⁰ with envy,²²⁰⁵ and²⁵³² spake against⁴⁸³ those things which were spoken³⁰⁰⁴ by⁵²⁵⁹ Paul,³⁹⁷² contradicting⁴⁸³ and²⁵³² blaspheming.⁹⁸⁷

46 Then¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Barnabas⁹²¹ waxed bold,³⁹⁵⁵ and said,²⁰³⁶ It was²²⁵⁸ necessary³¹⁶ that the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²³¹⁶ should first⁴⁴¹² have been spoken²⁹⁸⁰ to you:⁵²¹³ but¹¹⁶¹ seeing¹⁸⁹⁴ ye put it from you,⁶⁸³ ⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² judge²⁹¹⁹ yourselves¹⁴³⁸ unworthy³⁷⁵⁶ ⁵¹⁴ of everlasting¹⁶⁶ life,²²²² lo,²⁴⁰⁰ we turn⁴⁷⁶² to¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles.¹⁴⁸⁴

47 For¹⁰⁶³ so³⁷⁷⁹ hath the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² commanded¹⁷⁸¹ us,²²⁵⁴ saying, I have set⁵⁰⁸⁷ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ to be a light¹⁵¹⁹ ⁵⁴⁵⁷ of the Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ that thou⁴⁵⁷¹ shouldest be¹⁵¹¹ for¹⁵¹⁹ salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ unto²¹⁹³ the ends²⁰⁷⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth.¹⁰⁹³

48 And¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ heard¹⁹¹ this, they were glad,⁵⁴⁶³ and²⁵³² glorified¹³⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord:²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² as many as³⁷⁴⁵ were²²⁵⁸ ordained⁵⁰²¹ to¹⁵¹⁹ eternal¹⁶⁶ life²²²² believed.⁴¹⁰⁰

49 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² was published¹³⁰⁸ throughout¹²²³ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ region.⁵⁵⁶¹

50 But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ stirred up³⁹⁵¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ devout⁴⁵⁷⁶ and²⁵³² honorable²¹⁵⁸ women,¹¹³⁵ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ chief men⁴⁴¹³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city,⁴¹⁷² and²⁵³² raised¹⁸⁹² persecution¹³⁷⁵ against¹⁹⁰⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Barnabas,⁹²¹ and²⁵³² expelled¹⁵⁴⁴ them⁸⁴⁶ out of⁵⁷⁵ their⁸⁴⁸ coasts.³⁷²⁵

51 But¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ shook off¹⁶²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ dust²⁸⁶⁸ of their⁸⁴⁸ feet⁴²²⁸ against¹⁹⁰⁹ them,⁸⁴⁶ and came²⁰⁶⁴ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Iconium.²⁴³⁰

52 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ were filled⁴¹³⁷ with joy,⁵⁴⁷⁹ and²⁵³² with the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

Acts 14: 1-28

1 And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶ in¹⁷²² Iconium,²⁴³⁰ that they⁸⁴⁶ went¹⁵²⁵ both together²⁵⁹⁶ ⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue⁴⁸⁶⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ spake,²⁹⁸⁰ that⁵⁶²⁰ a great⁴¹⁸³ multitude⁴¹²⁸ both⁵⁰³⁷ of the Jews²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² also of the Greeks¹⁶⁷² believed.⁴¹⁰⁰

2 But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ unbelieving⁵⁴⁴ Jews²⁴⁵³ stirred up¹⁸⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² made their minds evil affected²⁵⁵⁹ ⁵⁵⁹⁰ against²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren.⁸⁰

3 Long²⁴²⁵ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ ³³⁰³ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ abode¹³⁰⁴ they speaking boldly³⁹⁵⁵ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² which³⁵⁸⁸ gave testimony³¹⁴⁰ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of his⁸⁴⁸ grace,⁵⁴⁸⁵ and²⁵³² granted¹³²⁵ signs⁴⁵⁹² and²⁵³² wonders⁵⁰⁵⁹ to be done¹⁰⁹⁶ by¹²²³ their⁸⁴⁶ hands.⁵⁴⁹⁵

4 But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude⁴¹²⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city⁴¹⁷² was divided:⁴⁹⁷⁷ and²⁵³² part³⁵⁸⁸ ³³⁰³ held²²⁵⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ and¹¹⁶¹ part³⁵⁸⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles.⁶⁵²

5 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ there was¹⁰⁹⁶ an assault³⁷³⁰ made both⁵⁰³⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² also of the Jews²⁴⁵³ with⁴⁸⁶² their⁸⁴⁶ rulers,⁷⁵⁸ to use them despitefully,⁵¹⁹⁵ and²⁵³² to stone³⁰³⁶ them,⁸⁴⁶

6 They were aware of⁴⁸⁹⁴ it, and fled²⁷⁰³ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Lystra³⁰⁸² and²⁵³² Derbe,¹¹⁹¹ cities⁴¹⁷² of Lycaonia,³⁰⁷¹ and²⁵³² into the³⁵⁸⁸ region that lieth round about:⁴⁰⁶⁶

7 And there²⁵⁴⁶ they preached the gospel.²²⁵⁸ ²⁰⁹⁷

8 And²⁵³² there sat²⁵²¹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man⁴³⁵ at¹⁷²² Lystra,³⁰⁸² impotent¹⁰² in his feet,⁴²²⁸ being⁵²²⁵ a cripple⁵⁵⁶⁰ from¹⁵³⁷ his⁸⁴⁸ mother's³³⁸⁴ womb,²⁸³⁶ who³⁷³⁹ never³⁷⁶³ had walked:⁴⁰⁴³

9 The same³⁷⁷⁸ heard¹⁹¹ Paul³⁹⁷² speak:²⁹⁸⁰ who³⁷³⁹ steadfastly beholding⁸¹⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² perceiving¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ he had²¹⁹² faith⁴¹⁰² to be healed,⁴⁹⁸²

10 Said²⁰³⁶ with a loud³¹⁷³ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ Stand⁴⁵⁰ upright³⁷¹⁷ on¹⁹⁰⁹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ feet.⁴²²⁸ And he leaped²⁴² and²⁵³² walked.⁴⁰⁴³

11 And¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ people³⁷⁹³ saw¹⁴⁹² what³⁷³⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² had done,⁴¹⁶⁰ they lifted up¹⁸⁶⁹ their⁸⁴⁸ voices,⁵⁴⁵⁶ saying³⁰⁰⁴ in the speech of Lycaonia,³⁰⁷² The³⁵⁸⁸ gods²³¹⁶ are come down²⁵⁹⁷ to⁴³¹⁴ us²²⁴⁸ in the likeness³⁶⁶⁶ of men.⁴⁴⁴

12 And⁵⁰³⁷ they called²⁵⁶⁴ Barnabas,⁹²¹ ³³⁰³ Jupiter;²²⁰³ and¹¹⁶¹ Paul,³⁹⁷² Mercurius,²⁰⁶⁰ because¹⁸⁹⁴ he⁸⁴⁶ was²²⁵⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief speaker.²²³³ ³⁰⁵⁶

13 Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ priest²⁴⁰⁹ of Jupiter,²²⁰³ which was⁵⁶⁰⁷ before⁴²⁵³ their⁸⁴⁶ city,⁴¹⁷² brought⁵³⁴² oxen⁵⁰²² and²⁵³² garlands⁴⁷²⁵ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ gates,⁴⁴⁴⁰ and would²³⁰⁹ have done sacrifice²³⁸⁰ with⁴⁸⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ people.³⁷⁹³

14 Which when¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles,⁶⁵² Barnabas⁹²¹ and²⁵³² Paul,³⁹⁷² heard¹⁹¹ of, they rent¹²⁸⁴ their⁸⁴⁸ clothes,²⁴⁴⁰ and ran in¹⁵³⁰ among¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,³⁷⁹³ crying out,²⁸⁹⁶

15 And²⁵³² saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Sirs,⁴³⁵ why⁵¹⁰¹ do⁴¹⁶⁰ ye these things?⁵⁰²³ We²²⁴⁹ also²⁵³² are²⁰⁷⁰ men⁴⁴⁴ of like passions³⁶⁶³ with you,⁵²¹³ and preach²⁰⁹⁷ unto you⁵²⁰⁹ that ye should turn¹⁹⁹⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ these⁵¹³⁰ vanities³¹⁵² unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ living²¹⁹⁸ God,²³¹⁶ which³⁷³⁹ made⁴¹⁶⁰ heaven,³⁷⁷² and²⁵³² earth,¹⁰⁹³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ sea,²²⁸¹ and²⁵³² all things³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁵⁸⁸ are therein:¹⁷²² ⁸⁴⁶

16 Who³⁷³⁹ in¹⁷²² times¹⁰⁷⁴ past³⁹⁴⁴ suffered¹⁴³⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ nations¹⁴⁸⁴ to walk⁴¹⁹⁸ in their own⁸⁴⁸ ways.³⁵⁹⁸

17 Nevertheless²⁵⁴⁴ he left⁸⁶³ not³⁷⁵⁶ himself¹⁴³⁸ without witness,²⁶⁷ in that he did good,¹⁵ and gave¹³²⁵ us²²⁵⁴ rain⁵²⁰⁵ from heaven,³⁷⁷¹ and²⁵³² fruitful²⁵⁹³ seasons,²⁵⁴⁰ filling¹⁷⁰⁵ our²²⁵⁷ hearts²⁵⁸⁸ with food⁵¹⁶⁰ and²⁵³² gladness.²¹⁶⁷

18 And²⁵³² with these⁵⁰²³ sayings³⁰⁰⁴ scarce³⁴³³ restrained²⁶⁶⁴ they the³⁵⁸⁸ people,³⁷⁹³ that they had not³³⁶¹ done sacrifice²³⁸⁰ unto them.⁸⁴⁶

19 And¹¹⁶¹ there came thither¹⁹⁰⁴ certain Jews²⁴⁵³ from⁵⁷⁵ Antioch⁴⁹⁰ and²⁵³² Iconium,²⁴³⁰ who²⁵³² persuaded³⁹⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ people,³⁷⁹³ and,²⁵³² having stoned³⁰³⁴ Paul,³⁹⁷² drew⁴⁹⁵¹ him out¹⁸⁵⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city,⁴¹⁷² supposing³⁵⁴³ he⁸⁴⁶ had been dead.²³⁴⁸

20 Howbeit,¹¹⁶¹ as the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ stood round about²⁹⁴⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ he rose up,⁴⁵⁰ and came¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ city:⁴¹⁷² and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ next day¹⁸⁸⁷ he departed¹⁸³¹ with⁴⁸⁶² Barnabas⁹²¹ to¹⁵¹⁹ Derbe.¹¹⁹¹

21 And⁵⁰³⁷ when they had preached the gospel²⁰⁹⁷ to that¹⁵⁶⁵ city,⁴¹⁷² and²⁵³² had taught³¹⁰⁰ many,²⁴²⁵ they returned again⁵²⁹⁰ to¹⁵¹⁹ Lystra,³⁰⁸² and²⁵³² to Iconium,²⁴³⁰ and²⁵³² Antioch,⁴⁹⁰

22 Confirming¹⁹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ souls⁵⁵⁹⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples,³¹⁰¹ and exhorting³⁸⁷⁰ them to continue¹⁶⁹⁶ in the³⁵⁸⁸ faith,⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² that³⁷⁵⁴ we²²⁴⁸ must¹¹⁶³ through¹²²³ much⁴¹⁸³ tribulation²³⁴⁷ enter¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God.²³¹⁶

23 And¹¹⁶¹ when they had ordained⁵⁵⁰⁰ them⁸⁴⁶ elders⁴²⁴⁵ in every church,²⁵⁹⁶ ¹⁵⁷⁷ and had prayed⁴³³⁶ with³³²⁶ fasting,³⁵²¹ they commended³⁹⁰⁸ them⁸⁴⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² on¹⁵¹⁹ whom³⁷³⁹ they believed.⁴¹⁰⁰

24 And²⁵³² after they had passed throughout¹³³⁰ Pisidia,⁴⁰⁹⁹ they came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Pamphylia.³⁸²⁸

25 And²⁵³² when they had preached²⁹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² Perga,⁴⁰¹¹ they went down²⁵⁹⁷ into¹⁵¹⁹ Attalia:⁸²⁵

26 And thence²⁵⁴⁷ sailed⁶³⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Antioch,⁴⁹⁰ from whence³⁶⁰⁶ they had been²²⁵⁸ recommended³⁸⁶⁰ to the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of God²³¹⁶ for¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ work²⁰⁴¹ which³⁷³⁹ they fulfilled.⁴¹³⁷

27 And¹¹⁶¹ when they were come,³⁸⁵⁴ and²⁵³² had gathered the church together,⁴⁸⁶³ ³⁵⁸⁸ ¹⁵⁷⁷ they rehearsed³¹² all that³⁷⁴⁵ God²³¹⁶ had done⁴¹⁶⁰ with³³²⁶ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² how³⁷⁵⁴ he had opened⁴⁵⁵ the door²³⁷⁴ of faith⁴¹⁰² unto the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles.¹⁴⁸⁴

28 And¹¹⁶¹ there¹⁵⁶³ they abode¹³⁰⁴ long³⁷⁵⁶ ³⁶⁴¹ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ with⁴⁸⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples.³¹⁰¹

Acts 15: 1-41

1 And²⁵³² certain men⁵¹⁰⁰ which came down²⁷¹⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ Judea²⁴⁴⁹ taught¹³²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren,⁸⁰ and said, Except³³⁶² ye be circumcised⁴⁰⁵⁹ after the³⁵⁸⁸ manner¹⁴⁸⁵ of Moses,³⁴⁷⁵ ye cannot¹⁴¹⁰ ³⁷⁵⁶ be saved.⁴⁹⁸²

2 When therefore³⁷⁶⁷ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Barnabas⁹²¹ had¹⁰⁹⁶ no³⁷⁵⁶ small³⁶⁴¹ dissension⁴⁷¹⁴ and²⁵³² disputation⁴⁸⁰³ with⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ they determined⁵⁰²¹ that Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Barnabas,⁹²¹ and²⁵³² certain⁵¹⁰⁰ other²⁴³ of¹⁵³⁷ them,⁸⁴⁶ should go up³⁰⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² and²⁵³² elders⁴²⁴⁵ about⁴⁰¹² this⁵¹²⁷ question.²²¹³

3 And³⁷⁶⁷ being³³⁰³ brought on their way⁴³¹¹ by⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ they³⁵⁸⁸ passed through¹³³⁰ Phoenicia⁵⁴⁰³ and²⁵³² Samaria,⁴⁵⁴⁰ declaring¹⁵⁵⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ conversion¹⁹⁹⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles:¹⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² they caused⁴¹⁶⁰ great³¹⁷³ joy⁵⁴⁷⁹ unto all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren.⁸⁰

4 And¹¹⁶¹ when they were come³⁸⁵⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ they were received⁵⁸⁸ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ and²⁵³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² and²⁵³² elders,⁴²⁴⁵ and⁵⁰³⁷ they declared³¹² all things that³⁷⁴⁵ God²³¹⁶ had done⁴¹⁶⁰ with³³²⁶ them.⁸⁴⁶

5 But¹¹⁶¹ there rose up¹⁸¹⁷ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ sect¹³⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisees⁵³³⁰ which believed,⁴¹⁰⁰ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ That³⁷⁵⁴ it was needful¹¹⁶³ to circumcise⁴⁰⁵⁹ them,⁸⁴⁶ and⁵⁰³⁷ to command³⁸⁵³ them to keep⁵⁰⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ of Moses.³⁴⁷⁵

6 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² and²⁵³² elders⁴²⁴⁵ came together⁴⁸⁶³ for to consider¹⁴⁹² of⁴⁰¹² this⁵¹²⁷ matter.³⁰⁵⁶

7 And¹¹⁶¹ when there had been¹⁰⁹⁶ much⁴¹⁸³ disputing,⁴⁸⁰³ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ rose up,⁴⁵⁰ and said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ ye⁵²¹⁰ know¹⁹⁸⁷ how that³⁷⁵⁴ a good while ago⁵⁷⁵ ⁷⁴⁴ ²²⁵⁰ God²³¹⁶ made choice¹⁵⁸⁶ among¹⁷²² us,²²⁵⁴ that the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ by¹²²³ my³⁴⁵⁰ mouth⁴⁷⁵⁰ should hear¹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel,²⁰⁹⁸ and²⁵³² believe.⁴¹⁰⁰

8 And²⁵³² God,²³¹⁶ which knoweth the hearts,²⁵⁸⁹ bare them witness,³¹⁴⁰ ⁸⁴⁶ giving¹³²⁵ them⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ even as²⁵³¹ he did²⁵³² unto us;²²⁵⁴

9 And²⁵³² put no difference¹²⁵² ³⁷⁶² between³³⁴² ⁵⁰³⁷ us²²⁵⁷ and²⁵³² them,⁸⁴⁶ purifying²⁵¹¹ their⁸⁴⁶ hearts²⁵⁸⁸ by faith.⁴¹⁰²

10 Now³⁵⁶⁸ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ why⁵¹⁰¹ tempt³⁹⁸⁵ ye God,²³¹⁶ to put²⁰⁰⁷ a yoke²²¹⁸ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ neck⁵¹³⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples,³¹⁰¹ which³⁷³⁹ neither³⁷⁷⁷ our²²⁵⁷ fathers³⁹⁶² nor³⁷⁷⁷ we²²⁴⁹ were able²⁴⁸⁰ to bear?⁹⁴¹

11 But²³⁵ we believe⁴¹⁰⁰ that through¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ we shall be saved,⁴⁹⁸² even as they.²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁷³⁹ ⁵¹⁵⁸ ²⁵⁴⁸

12 Then¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude⁴¹²⁸ kept silence,⁴⁶⁰¹ and²⁵³² gave audience¹⁹¹ to Barnabas⁹²¹ and²⁵³² Paul,³⁹⁷² declaring¹⁸³⁴ what³⁷⁴⁵ miracles⁴⁵⁹² and²⁵³² wonders⁵⁰⁵⁹ God²³¹⁶ had wrought⁴¹⁶⁰ among¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ by¹²²³ them.⁸⁴⁶

13 And¹¹⁶¹ after they⁸⁴⁶ had held their peace,⁴⁶⁰¹ James²³⁸⁵ answered,⁶¹¹ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ hearken¹⁹¹ unto me:³⁴⁵⁰

14 Simeon⁴⁸²⁶ hath declared¹⁸³⁴ how²⁵³¹ God²³¹⁶ at the first⁴⁴¹² did visit¹⁹⁸⁰ the Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ to take²⁹⁸³ out of¹⁵³⁷ them a people²⁹⁹² for¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ name.³⁶⁸⁶

15 And²⁵³² to this⁵¹²⁹ agree⁴⁸⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ words³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets;⁴³⁹⁶ as²⁵³¹ it is written,¹¹²⁵

16 After³³²⁶ this⁵⁰²³ I will return,³⁹⁰ and²⁵³² will build again⁴⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ tabernacle⁴⁶³³ of David,¹¹³⁸ which is fallen down;⁴⁰⁹⁸ and²⁵³² I will build again⁴⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ ruins²⁶⁷⁹ thereof,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² I will set it up:⁴⁶¹ ⁸⁴⁶

17 That³⁷⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ residue²⁶⁴⁵ of men⁴⁴⁴ might seek after¹⁵⁶⁷ ³⁰² the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ whom³⁷³⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ name³⁶⁸⁶ is called,¹⁹⁴¹ saith³⁰⁰⁴ ⁸⁴⁶ the Lord,²⁹⁶² who doeth⁴¹⁶⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ these things.⁵⁰²³

18 Known¹¹¹⁰ unto God²³¹⁶ are²⁰⁷⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ works²⁰⁴¹ from⁵⁷⁵ the beginning of the world.¹⁶⁵

19 Wherefore¹³⁵² my¹⁴⁷³ sentence is,²⁹¹⁹ that we trouble³⁹²⁶ not³³⁶¹ them, which from⁵⁷⁵ among the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ are turned¹⁹⁹⁴ to¹⁹⁰⁹ God:²³¹⁶

20 But²³⁵ that we write¹⁹⁸⁹ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ that they abstain⁵⁶⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ pollutions²³⁴ of idols,¹⁴⁹⁷ and²⁵³² from fornication,⁴²⁰² and²⁵³² from things strangled,⁴¹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² from blood.¹²⁹

21 For¹⁰⁶³ Moses³⁴⁷⁵ of old time¹⁵³⁷ ⁷⁴⁴ ¹⁰⁷⁴ hath²¹⁹² in every city²⁵⁹⁶ ⁴¹⁷² them that preach²⁷⁸⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ being read³¹⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogues⁴⁸⁶⁴ every²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁹⁵⁶ sabbath day.⁴⁵²¹

22 Then⁵¹¹⁹ pleased¹³⁸⁰ it the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² and²⁵³² elders,⁴²⁴⁵ with⁴⁸⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ whole³⁶⁵⁰ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ to send³⁹⁹² chosen¹⁵⁸⁶ men⁴³⁵ of¹⁵³⁷ their own company⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Antioch⁴⁹⁰ with⁴⁸⁶² Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Barnabas:⁹²¹ namely, Judas²⁴⁵⁵ surnamed¹⁹⁴¹ Barsabas,⁹²³ and²⁵³² Silas,⁴⁶⁰⁹ chief²²³³ men⁴³⁵ among¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren:⁸⁰

23 And they wrote¹¹²⁵ letters by¹²²³ them⁸⁴⁸ after this manner;³⁵⁹² The³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² and elders⁴²⁴⁵ and²⁵³² brethren⁸⁰ send greeting⁵⁴⁶³ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ which³⁵⁸⁸ are of¹⁵³⁷ the Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ in²⁵⁹⁶ Antioch⁴⁹⁰ and²⁵³² Syria⁴⁹⁴⁷ and²⁵³² Cilicia.²⁷⁹¹

24 Forasmuch as¹⁸⁹⁴ we have heard,¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ which went out¹⁸³¹ from¹⁵³⁷ us²²⁵⁷ have troubled⁵⁰¹⁵ you⁵²⁰⁹ with words,³⁰⁵⁶ subverting³⁸⁴ your⁵²¹⁶ souls,⁵⁵⁹⁰ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Ye must be circumcised,⁴⁰⁵⁹ and²⁵³² keep⁵⁰⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ law:³⁵⁵¹ to whom³⁷³⁹ we gave no such commandment:¹²⁹¹ ³⁷⁵⁶

25 It seemed good¹³⁸⁰ unto us,²²⁵⁴ being assembled¹⁰⁹⁶ with one accord,³⁶⁶¹ to send³⁹⁹² chosen¹⁵⁸⁶ men⁴³⁵ unto⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ with⁴⁸⁶² our²²⁵⁷ beloved²⁷ Barnabas⁹²¹ and²⁵³² Paul,³⁹⁷²

26 Men⁴⁴⁴ that have hazarded³⁸⁶⁰ their⁸⁴⁸ lives⁵⁵⁹⁰ for⁵²²⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

27 We have sent⁶⁴⁹ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ Judas²⁴⁵⁵ and²⁵³² Silas,⁴⁶⁰⁹ who⁸⁴⁶ shall also²⁵³² tell⁵¹⁸ you the³⁵⁸⁸ same things⁸⁴⁶ by mouth.¹²²³ ³⁰⁵⁶

28 For¹⁰⁶³ it seemed good¹³⁸⁰ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² to us,²²⁵⁴ to lay²⁰⁰⁷ upon you⁵²¹³ no³³⁶⁷ greater⁴¹¹⁹ burden⁹²² than⁴¹³³ these⁵¹³⁰ necessary things;¹⁸⁷⁶

29 That ye abstain⁵⁶⁷ from meats offered to idols,¹⁴⁹⁴ and²⁵³² from blood,¹²⁹ and²⁵³² from things strangled,⁴¹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² from fornication:⁴²⁰² from¹⁵³⁷ which³⁷³⁹ if ye keep¹³⁰¹ yourselves,¹⁴³⁸ ye shall do⁴²³⁸ well,²⁰⁹⁵ Fare ye well.⁴⁵¹⁷

30 So³⁷⁶⁷ when they³⁵⁸⁸ were³³⁰³ dismissed,⁶³⁰ they came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Antioch:⁴⁹⁰ and²⁵³² when they had gathered the multitude together,⁴⁸⁶³ ³⁵⁸⁸ ⁴¹²⁸ they delivered¹⁹²⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ epistle:¹⁹⁹²

31 Which when¹¹⁶¹ they had read,³¹⁴ they rejoiced⁵⁴⁶³ for¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ consolation.³⁸⁷⁴

32 And⁵⁰³⁷ Judas²⁴⁵⁵ and²⁵³² Silas,⁴⁶⁰⁹ being⁵⁶⁰⁷ prophets⁴³⁹⁶ also²⁵³² themselves,⁸⁴⁸ exhorted³⁸⁷⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ with¹²²³ many⁴¹⁸³ words,³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² confirmed¹⁹⁹¹ them.

33 And¹¹⁶¹ after they had tarried⁴¹⁶⁰ there a space,⁵⁵⁵⁰ they were let go⁶³⁰ in³³²⁶ peace¹⁵¹⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles.⁶⁵²

34 Notwithstanding¹¹⁶¹ it pleased¹³⁸⁰ Silas⁴⁶⁰⁹ to abide¹⁹⁶¹ there⁸⁴⁷ still.

35 Paul³⁹⁷² also¹¹⁶¹ and²⁵³² Barnabas⁹²¹ continued¹³⁰⁴ in¹⁷²² Antioch,⁴⁹⁰ teaching¹³²¹ and²⁵³² preaching²⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² with³³²⁶ many⁴¹⁸³ others²⁰⁸⁷ also.²⁵³²

36 And¹¹⁶¹ some⁵¹⁰⁰ days²²⁵⁰ after³³²⁶ Paul³⁹⁷² said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ Barnabas,⁹²¹ Let us go again¹⁹⁹⁴ ¹²¹¹ and visit¹⁹⁸⁰ our²²⁵⁷ brethren⁸⁰ in²⁵⁹⁶ every³⁹⁵⁶ city⁴¹⁷² where¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ we have preached²⁶⁰⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² and see how⁴⁴⁵⁹ they do.²¹⁹²

37 And¹¹⁶¹ Barnabas⁹²¹ determined¹⁰¹¹ to take with⁴⁸³⁸ them John,²⁴⁹¹ whose surname was²⁵⁶⁴ Mark.³¹³⁸

38 But¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² thought not good⁵¹⁵ ³³⁶¹ to take him with⁴⁸³⁸ ⁵¹²⁶ them, who departed⁸⁶⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ them⁸⁴⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ Pamphylia,³⁸²⁸ and²⁵³² went not with⁴⁹⁰⁵ ³³⁶¹ them⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ work.²⁰⁴¹

39 And³⁷⁶⁷ the contention was so sharp between³⁹⁴⁸ ¹⁰⁹⁶ them, that⁵⁶²⁰ they⁸⁴⁶ departed asunder⁶⁷³ one from the other:⁵⁷⁵ ²⁴⁰ and⁵⁰³⁷ so Barnabas⁹²¹ took³⁸⁸⁰ Mark,³¹³⁸ and sailed¹⁶⁰² unto¹⁵¹⁹ Cyprus;²⁹⁵⁴

40 And¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² chose¹⁹⁵¹ Silas,⁴⁶⁰⁹ and departed,¹⁸³¹ being recommended³⁸⁶⁰ by⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of God.²³¹⁶

41 And¹¹⁶¹ he went through¹³³⁰ Syria⁴⁹⁴⁷ and²⁵³² Cilicia,²⁷⁹¹ confirming¹⁹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ churches.¹⁵⁷⁷

Acts 16: 1-40

1 Then¹¹⁶¹ came²⁶⁵⁸ he to¹⁵¹⁹ Derbe¹¹⁹¹ and²⁵³² Lystra:³⁰⁸² and,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ disciple³¹⁰¹ was²²⁵⁸ there,¹⁵⁶³ named³⁶⁸⁶ Timothy,⁵⁰⁹⁵ the son⁵²⁰⁷ of a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ woman,¹¹³⁵ which was a Jewess,²⁴⁵³ and believed;⁴¹⁰³ but¹¹⁶¹ his father²⁹⁶² was a Greek:¹⁶⁷²

2 Which³⁷³⁹ was well reported of³¹⁴⁰ by⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ that were at¹⁷²² Lystra³⁰⁸² and²⁵³² Iconium.²⁴³⁰

3 Him⁵¹²⁶ would²³⁰⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² have to go forth¹⁸³¹ with⁴⁸⁶² him;⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² took²⁹⁸³ and circumcised⁴⁰⁵⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ because of¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ which were⁵⁶⁰⁷ in¹⁷²² those¹⁵⁶⁵ quarters:⁵¹¹⁷ for¹⁰⁶³ they knew¹⁴⁹² all⁵³⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ his⁸⁴⁸ father³⁹⁶² was⁵²²⁵ a Greek.¹⁶⁷²

4 And¹¹⁶¹ as⁵⁶¹³ they went through¹²⁷⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ cities,⁴¹⁷² they delivered³⁸⁶⁰ them⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ decrees¹³⁷⁸ for to keep,⁵⁴⁴² that were ordained²⁹¹⁹ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² and²⁵³² elders⁴²⁴⁵ which³⁵⁸⁸ were at¹⁷²² Jerusalem.²⁴¹⁹

5 And³⁷⁶⁷ so³³⁰³ were the³⁵⁸⁸ churches¹⁵⁷⁷ established⁴⁷³² in the³⁵⁸⁸ faith,⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² increased⁴⁰⁵² in number⁷⁰⁶ daily.²⁵⁹⁶ ²²⁵⁰

6 Now¹¹⁶¹ when they had gone throughout¹³³⁰ Phrygia⁵⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ region⁵⁵⁶¹ of Galatia,¹⁰⁵⁴ and were forbidden²⁹⁶⁷ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ to preach²⁹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² Asia,⁷⁷³

7 After they were come²⁰⁶⁴ to²⁵⁹⁶ Mysia,³⁴⁶⁵ they attempted³⁹⁸⁵ to go⁴¹⁹⁸ into²⁵⁹⁶ Bithynia:⁹⁷⁸ but²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ suffered¹⁴³⁹ them⁸⁴⁶ not.³⁷⁵⁶

8 And¹¹⁶¹ they passing by³⁹²⁸ Mysia³⁴⁶⁵ came down²⁵⁹⁷ to¹⁵¹⁹ Troas.⁵¹⁷⁴

9 And²⁵³² a vision³⁷⁰⁵ appeared³⁷⁰⁰ to Paul³⁹⁷² in¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ night;³⁵⁷¹ there stood²²⁵⁸ ²⁴⁷⁶ a man⁴³⁵ of Macedonia,³¹¹⁰ and²⁵³² prayed³⁸⁷⁰ him,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Come over¹²²⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ Macedonia,³¹⁰⁹ and help⁹⁹⁷ us.²²⁵⁴

10 And¹¹⁶¹ after⁵⁶¹³ he had seen¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ vision,³⁷⁰⁵ immediately²¹¹² we endeavored²²¹² to go¹⁸³¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ Macedonia,³¹⁰⁹ assuredly gathering⁴⁸²² that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² had called⁴³⁴¹ us²²⁴⁸ for to preach the gospel²⁰⁹⁷ unto them.⁸⁴⁶

11 Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ loosing³²¹ from⁵⁷⁵ Troas,⁵¹⁷⁴ we came with a straight course²¹¹³ to¹⁵¹⁹ Samothracia,⁴⁵⁴³ and⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ next¹⁹⁶⁶ day to¹⁵¹⁹ Neapolis;³⁴⁹⁶

12 And⁵⁰³⁷ from thence¹⁵⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Philippi,⁵³⁷⁵ which³⁷⁴⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the chief⁴⁴¹³ city⁴¹⁷² of that part³³¹⁰ of Macedonia,³¹⁰⁹ and a colony:²⁸⁶² and¹¹⁶¹ we were²²⁵⁸ in¹⁷²² that⁵⁰²⁶ city⁴¹⁷² abiding¹³⁰⁴ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ days.²²⁵⁰

13 And⁵⁰³⁷ on²²⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ sabbath⁴⁵²¹ we went¹⁸³¹ out¹⁸⁵⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city⁴¹⁷² by³⁸⁴⁴ a river side,⁴²¹⁵ where³⁷⁵⁷ prayer⁴³³⁵ was wont³⁵⁴³ to be made;¹⁵¹¹ and²⁵³² we sat down,²⁵²³ and spake²⁹⁸⁰ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ women¹¹³⁵ which resorted⁴⁹⁰⁵ thither.

14 And²⁵³² a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ woman¹¹³⁵ named³⁶⁸⁶ Lydia,³⁰⁷⁰ a seller of purple,⁴²¹¹ of the city⁴¹⁷² of Thyatira,²³⁶³ which worshipped⁴⁵⁷⁶ God,²³¹⁶ heard¹⁹¹ us: whose³⁷³⁹ heart²⁵⁸⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² opened,¹²⁷² that she attended⁴³³⁷ unto the things which were spoken²⁹⁸⁰ of⁵²⁵⁹ Paul.³⁹⁷²

15 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ she was baptized,⁹⁰⁷ and²⁵³² her⁸⁴⁸ household,³⁶²⁴ she besought³⁸⁷⁰ us, saying,³⁰⁰⁴ If¹⁴⁸⁷ ye have judged²⁹¹⁹ me³¹⁶⁵ to be¹⁵¹¹ faithful⁴¹⁰³ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² come¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ house,³⁶²⁴ and abide³³⁰⁶ there. And²⁵³² she constrained³⁸⁴⁹ us.²²⁴⁸

16 And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ as we²²⁵⁷ went⁴¹⁹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ prayer,⁴³³⁵ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ damsel³⁸¹⁴ possessed²¹⁹² with a spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of divination⁴⁴³⁶ met⁵²⁸ us,²²⁵⁴ which³⁷⁴⁸ brought³⁹³⁰ her⁸⁴⁸ masters²⁹⁶² much⁴¹⁸³ gain²⁰³⁹ by soothsaying:³¹³²

17 The same³⁷⁷⁸ followed²⁶²⁸ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² us,²²⁵⁴ and cried,²⁸⁹⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ These³⁷⁷⁸ men⁴⁴⁴ are¹⁵²⁶ the servants¹⁴⁰¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ most high⁵³¹⁰ God,²³¹⁶ which³⁷⁴⁸ show²⁶⁰⁵ unto us²²⁵⁴ the way³⁵⁹⁸ of salvation.⁴⁹⁹¹

18 And¹¹⁶¹ this⁵¹²⁴ did⁴¹⁶⁰ she¹⁹⁰⁹ many⁴¹⁸³ days.²²⁵⁰ But¹¹⁶¹ Paul,³⁹⁷² being grieved,¹²⁷⁸ turned¹⁹⁹⁴ and²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ I command³⁸⁵³ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ to come¹⁸³¹ out of⁵⁷⁵ her.⁸⁴⁶ And²⁵³² he came out¹⁸³¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ hour.⁵⁶¹⁰

19 And¹¹⁶¹ when her⁸⁴⁸ masters²⁹⁶² saw¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ hope¹⁶⁸⁰ of their⁸⁴⁸ gains²⁰³⁹ was gone,¹⁸³¹ they caught¹⁹⁴⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Silas,⁴⁶⁰⁹ and drew¹⁶⁷⁰ them into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ marketplace⁵⁸ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ rulers,⁷⁵⁸

20 And²⁵³² brought⁴³¹⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ magistrates,⁴⁷⁵⁵ saying,²⁰³⁶ These³⁷⁷⁸ men,⁴⁴⁴ being⁵²²⁵ Jews,²⁴⁵³ do exceedingly trouble¹⁶¹³ our²²⁵⁷ city,⁴¹⁷²

21 And²⁵³² teach²⁶⁰⁵ customs,¹⁴⁸⁵ which³⁷³⁹ are not lawful¹⁸³² ³⁷⁵⁶ for us²²⁵⁴ to receive,³⁸⁵⁸ neither³⁷⁶¹ to observe,⁴¹⁶⁰ being⁵⁶⁰⁷ Romans.⁴⁵¹⁴

22 And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude³⁷⁹³ rose up together⁴⁹¹¹ against²⁵⁹⁶ them:⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ magistrates⁴⁷⁵⁵ rent off⁴⁰⁴⁸ their⁸⁴⁶ clothes,²⁴⁴⁰ and commanded²⁷⁵³ to beat⁴⁴⁶³ them.

23 And⁵⁰³⁷ when they had laid²⁰⁰⁷ many⁴¹⁸³ stripes⁴¹²⁷ upon them,⁸⁴⁶ they cast⁹⁰⁶ them into¹⁵¹⁹ prison,⁵⁴³⁸ charging³⁸⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ jailer¹²⁰⁰ to keep⁵⁰⁸³ them⁸⁴⁶ safely:⁸⁰⁶

24 Who,³⁷³⁹ having received²⁹⁸³ such⁵¹⁰⁸ a charge,³⁸⁵² thrust⁹⁰⁶ them⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ inner²⁰⁸² prison,⁵⁴³⁸ and²⁵³² made their feet fast⁸⁰⁵ ⁸⁴⁶ ⁴²²⁸ in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ stocks.³⁵⁸⁶

25 And¹¹⁶¹ at²⁵⁹⁶ midnight³³¹⁷ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Silas⁴⁶⁰⁹ prayed,⁴³³⁶ and²⁵³² sang praises⁵²¹⁴ unto God:²³¹⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ prisoners¹¹⁹⁸ heard¹⁸⁷⁴ them.⁸⁴⁶

26 And¹¹⁶¹ suddenly⁸⁶⁹ there was¹⁰⁹⁶ a great³¹⁷³ earthquake,⁴⁵⁷⁸ so that⁵⁶²⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ foundations²³¹⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ prison¹²⁰¹ were shaken:⁴⁵³¹ and⁵⁰³⁷ immediately³⁹¹⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ doors²³⁷⁴ were opened,⁴⁵⁵ and²⁵³² every one's³⁹⁵⁶ bands¹¹⁹⁹ were loosed.⁴⁴⁷

27 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ keeper of the prison¹²⁰⁰ awaking out of his sleep,¹⁰⁹⁶ ¹⁸⁵³ and²⁵³² seeing¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ prison⁵⁴³⁸ doors²³⁷⁴ open,⁴⁵⁵ he drew out⁴⁶⁸⁵ his sword,³¹⁶² and would³¹⁹⁵ have killed³³⁷ himself,¹⁴³⁸ supposing³⁵⁴³ that the³⁵⁸⁸ prisoners¹¹⁹⁸ had been fled.¹⁶²⁸

28 But¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² cried⁵⁴⁵⁵ with a loud³¹⁷³ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Do⁴²³⁸ thyself⁴⁵⁷² no³³⁶⁷ harm:²⁵⁵⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ we are²⁰⁷⁰ all⁵³⁷ here.¹⁷⁵⁹

29 Then¹¹⁶¹ he called¹⁵⁴ for a light,⁵⁴⁵⁷ and sprang in,¹⁵³⁰ and²⁵³² came¹⁰⁹⁶ trembling,¹⁷⁹⁰ and fell down before⁴³⁶³ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Silas,⁴⁶⁰⁹

30 And²⁵³² brought⁴²⁵⁴ them⁸⁴⁶ out,¹⁸⁵⁴ and said,⁵³⁴⁶ Sirs,²⁹⁶² what⁵¹⁰¹ must¹¹⁶³ I³¹⁶⁵ do⁴¹⁶⁰ to²⁴⁴³ be saved?⁴⁹⁸²

31 And¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ Believe⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² thou⁴⁷⁷¹ shalt be saved,⁴⁹⁸² and²⁵³² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ house.³⁶²⁴

32 And²⁵³² they spake²⁹⁸⁰ unto him⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² to all³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁵⁸⁸ were in¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁸ house.³⁶¹⁴

33 And²⁵³² he took³⁸⁸⁰ them⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ same¹⁵⁶⁵ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ night,³⁵⁷¹ and washed³⁰⁶⁸ their⁵⁷⁵ stripes;⁴¹²⁷ and²⁵³² was baptized,⁹⁰⁷ he⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ his,⁸⁴⁶ straightway.³⁹¹⁶

34 And⁵⁰³⁷ when he had brought³²¹ them⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ house,³⁶²⁴ he set meat before³⁹⁰⁸ ⁵¹³² them, and²⁵³² rejoiced,²¹ believing⁴¹⁰⁰ in God²³¹⁶ with all his house.³⁸³²

35 And¹¹⁶¹ when it was¹⁰⁹⁶ day,²²⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ magistrates⁴⁷⁵⁵ sent⁶⁴⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sergeants,⁴⁴⁶⁵ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Let those men go.⁶³⁰ ¹⁵⁶⁵ ⁴⁴⁴

36 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ keeper of the prison¹²⁰⁰ told⁵¹⁸ this⁵¹²⁸ saying³⁰⁵⁶ to⁴³¹⁴ Paul,³⁹⁷² The³⁵⁸⁸ magistrates⁴⁷⁵⁵ have sent⁶⁴⁹ to²⁴⁴³ let you go:⁶³⁰ now³⁵⁶⁸ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ depart,¹⁸³¹ and go⁴¹⁹⁸ in¹⁷²² peace.¹⁵¹⁵

37 But¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² said⁵³⁴⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ They have beaten¹¹⁹⁴ us²²⁴⁸ openly¹²¹⁹ uncondemned,¹⁷⁸ being⁵²²⁵ Romans,⁴⁵¹⁴ and⁴⁴⁴ have cast⁹⁰⁶ us into¹⁵¹⁹ prison;⁵⁴³⁸ and²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ do they thrust us out¹⁵⁴⁴ ²²⁴⁸ privily?²⁹⁷⁷ nay³⁷⁵⁶ verily;¹⁰⁶³ but²³⁵ let them come²⁰⁶⁴ themselves⁸⁴⁸ and fetch us out.¹⁸⁰⁶ ²²⁴⁸

38 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sergeants⁴⁴⁶⁵ told³¹² these⁵⁰²³ words⁴⁴⁸⁷ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ magistrates:⁴⁷⁵⁵ and²⁵³² they feared,⁵³⁹⁹ when they heard¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ they were¹⁵²⁶ Romans.⁴⁵¹⁴

39 And²⁵³² they came²⁰⁶⁴ and besought³⁸⁷⁰ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² brought them out,¹⁸⁰⁶ and desired²⁰⁶⁵ them to depart out¹⁸³¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city.⁴¹⁷²

40 And¹¹⁶¹ they went¹⁸³¹ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ prison,⁵⁴³⁸ and entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the house of Lydia:³⁰⁷⁰ and²⁵³² when they had seen¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren,⁸⁰ they comforted³⁸⁷⁰ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² departed.¹⁸³¹

Acts 17: 1-34

1 Now¹¹⁶¹ when they had passed through¹³⁵³ Amphipolis²⁹⁵ and²⁵³² Apollonia,⁶²⁴ they came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Thessalonica,²³³² where³⁶⁹⁹ was²²⁵⁸ a synagogue⁴⁸⁶⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews:²⁴⁵³

2 And¹¹⁶¹ Paul,³⁹⁷² as his manner was,²⁵⁹⁶ ¹⁴⁸⁶ went in¹⁵²⁵ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² three⁵¹⁴⁰ sabbath days⁴⁵²¹ reasoned¹²⁵⁶ with them⁸⁴⁶ out of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Scriptures,¹¹²⁴

3 Opening¹²⁷² and²⁵³² alleging,³⁹⁰⁸ that³⁷⁵⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ must needs¹¹⁶³ have suffered,³⁹⁵⁸ and²⁵³² risen again⁴⁵⁰ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead;³⁴⁹⁸ and²⁵³² that³⁷⁵⁴ this³⁷⁷⁸ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ I¹⁴⁷³ preach²⁶⁰⁵ unto you,⁵²¹³ is²⁰⁷⁶ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

4 And²⁵³² some⁵¹⁰⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ believed,³⁹⁸² and²⁵³² consorted with⁴³⁴⁵ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Silas;⁴⁶⁰⁹ and⁵⁰³⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ devout⁴⁵⁷⁶ Greeks¹⁶⁷² a great⁴¹⁸³ multitude,⁴¹²⁸ and⁵⁰³⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ chief⁴⁴¹³ women¹¹³⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ a few.³⁶⁴¹

5 But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ which believed not,⁵⁴⁴ moved with envy,²²⁰⁶ ²⁵³² took unto⁴³⁵⁵ them certain⁵¹⁰⁰ lewd⁴¹⁹⁰ fellows⁴³⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ baser sort,⁶⁰ and²⁵³² gathered a company,³⁷⁹² and set all the city on an uproar,²³⁵⁰ ³⁵⁸⁸ ⁴¹⁷² and⁵⁰³⁷ assaulted²¹⁸⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ house³⁶¹⁴ of Jason,²³⁹⁴ and sought²²¹² to⁸⁴⁶ bring them out⁷¹ to¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people.¹²¹⁸

6 And¹¹⁶¹ when they found²¹⁴⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ not,³³⁶¹ they drew⁴⁹⁵¹ Jason²³⁹⁴ and²⁵³² certain⁵¹⁰⁰ brethren⁸⁰ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ rulers of the city,⁴¹⁷³ crying,⁹⁹⁴ These³⁷⁷⁸ that have turned the world upside down³⁸⁷ ³⁵⁸⁸ ³⁶²⁵ are come³⁹¹⁸ hither¹⁷⁵⁹ also;²⁵³²

7 Whom³⁷³⁹ Jason²³⁹⁴ hath received:⁵²⁶⁴ and²⁵³² these³⁷⁷⁸ all³⁹⁵⁶ do⁴²³⁸ contrary⁵⁶¹ to the³⁵⁸⁸ decrees¹³⁷⁸ of Caesar,²⁵⁴¹ saying³⁰⁰⁴ that there is¹⁵¹¹ another²⁰⁸⁷ king,⁹³⁵ one Jesus.²⁴²⁴

8 And¹¹⁶¹ they troubled⁵⁰¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ people³⁷⁹³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ rulers of the city,⁴¹⁷³ when they heard¹⁹¹ these things.⁵⁰²³

9 And²⁵³² when they had taken²⁹⁸³ security²⁴²⁵ of³⁸⁴⁴ Jason,²³⁹⁴ and²⁵³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ other,³⁰⁶² they let them go.⁶³⁰ ⁸⁴⁶

10 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ immediately²¹¹² sent away¹⁵⁹⁹ ⁵⁰³⁷ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Silas⁴⁶⁰⁹ by¹²²³ night³⁵⁷¹ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Berea:⁹⁶⁰ who³⁷⁴⁸ coming³⁸⁵⁴ thither went⁵⁴⁹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue⁴⁸⁶⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews.²⁴⁵³

11 These³⁷⁷⁸ were²²⁵⁸ more noble²¹⁰⁴ than those³⁵⁸⁸ in¹⁷²² Thessalonica,²³³² in that they³⁷⁴⁸ received¹²⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ with³³²⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ readiness of mind,⁴²⁸⁸ and searched³⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ Scriptures¹¹²⁴ daily,²⁵⁹⁶ ²²⁵⁰ whether¹⁴⁸⁷ those things⁵⁰²³ were²¹⁹² so.³⁷⁷⁹

12 Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ many⁴¹⁸³ ³³⁰³ of¹⁵³⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ believed;⁴¹⁰⁰ also²⁵³² of honorable²¹⁵⁸ women¹¹³⁵ which were Greeks,¹⁶⁷⁴ and²⁵³² of men,⁴³⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ a few.³⁶⁴¹

13 But¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ of⁵⁷⁵ Thessalonica²³³² had knowledge¹⁰⁹⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²³¹⁶ was preached²⁶⁰⁵ of⁵²⁵⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² at¹⁷²² Berea,⁹⁶⁰ they came²⁰⁶⁴ thither also,²⁵⁴⁶ and stirred up⁴⁵³¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people.³⁷⁹³

14 And¹¹⁶¹ then⁵¹¹⁹ immediately²¹¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ sent away¹⁸²¹ Paul³⁹⁷² to go⁴¹⁹⁸ as it were⁵⁶¹³ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea:²²⁸¹ but¹¹⁶¹ ⁵⁰³⁷ Silas⁴⁶⁰⁹ and²⁵³² Timothy⁵⁰⁹⁵ abode⁵²⁷⁸ there¹⁵⁶³ still.

15 And¹¹⁶¹ they that conducted²⁵²⁵ Paul³⁹⁷² brought⁷¹ him⁸⁴⁶ unto²¹⁹³ Athens:¹¹⁶ and²⁵³² receiving²⁹⁸³ a commandment¹⁷⁸⁵ unto⁴³¹⁴ Silas⁴⁶⁰⁹ and²⁵³² Timothy⁵⁰⁹⁵ for to come²⁰⁶⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ with all speed,⁵⁶¹³ ⁵⁰³³ they departed.¹⁸²⁶

16 Now¹¹⁶¹ while Paul³⁹⁷² waited for¹⁵⁵¹ them⁸⁴⁶ at¹⁷²² Athens,¹¹⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ was stirred³⁹⁴⁷ in¹⁷²² him,⁸⁴⁶ when he saw²³³⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ city⁴¹⁷² wholly given to idolatry.²⁷¹²

17 Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ disputed¹²⁵⁶ he³³⁰³ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue⁴⁸⁶⁴ with the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² with the³⁵⁸⁸ devout persons,⁴⁵⁷⁶ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ market⁵⁸ daily²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁹⁵⁶ ²²⁵⁰ with⁴³¹⁴ them that met with³⁹⁰⁹ him.

18 Then¹¹⁶¹ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ philosophers⁵³⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Epicureans,¹⁹⁴⁶ and²⁵³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ Stoics,⁴⁷⁷⁰ encountered⁴⁸²⁰ him.⁸⁴⁶ And²⁵³² some⁵¹⁰⁰ said,³⁰⁰⁴ What⁵¹⁰¹ will²³⁰⁹ ³⁰² this³⁷⁷⁸ babbler⁴⁶⁹¹ say?³⁰⁰⁴ ¹¹⁶¹ other³⁵⁸⁸ some, He seemeth¹³⁸⁰ to be¹⁵¹¹ a setter forth²⁶⁰⁴ of strange³⁵⁸¹ gods:¹¹⁴⁰ because³⁷⁵⁴ he preached²⁰⁹⁷ unto them⁸⁴⁶ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ resurrection.³⁸⁶

19 And⁵⁰³⁷ they took¹⁹⁴⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ and brought⁷¹ him unto¹⁹⁰⁹ Areopagus,⁶⁹⁷ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ May¹⁴¹⁰ we know¹⁰⁹⁷ what⁵¹⁰¹ this³⁷⁷⁸ new²⁵³⁷ doctrine,¹³²² whereof³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁴⁶⁷⁵ speakest,²⁹⁸⁰ is?

20 For¹⁰⁶³ thou bringest¹⁵³³ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ strange things³⁵⁷⁹ to¹⁵¹⁹ our²²⁵⁷ ears:¹⁸⁹ we would¹⁰¹⁴ know¹⁰⁹⁷ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ what⁵¹⁰¹ these things⁵⁰²³ mean.²³⁰⁹ ³⁰² ¹⁵¹¹

21 (For¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the Athenians¹¹⁷ and²⁵³² strangers³⁵⁸¹ which were there¹⁹²⁷ spent their time²¹¹⁹ in¹⁵¹⁹ nothing³⁷⁶² else,²⁰⁸⁷ but²²²⁸ either to tell,³⁰⁰⁴ or²⁵³² to hear¹⁹¹ some⁵¹⁰⁰ new thing.)²⁵³⁷

22 Then¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² stood²⁴⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of Mars' hill,⁶⁹⁷ and said,⁵³⁴⁶ Ye men⁴³⁵ of Athens,¹¹⁷ I perceive²³³⁴ that in²⁵⁹⁶ all things³⁹⁵⁶ ye⁵²⁰⁹ are⁵⁶¹³ too superstitious.¹¹⁷⁴

23 For¹⁰⁶³ as I passed by,¹³³⁰ and²⁵³² beheld³³³ your⁵²¹⁶ devotions,⁴⁵⁷⁴ I found²¹⁴⁷ an²⁵³² altar¹⁰⁴¹ with this inscription,¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ ¹⁹²⁴ TO THE UNKNOWN⁵⁷ GOD.²³¹⁶ Whom³⁷³⁹ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ ye ignorantly⁵⁰ worship,²¹⁵¹ him⁵¹²⁶ declare²⁶⁰⁵ I¹⁴⁷³ unto you.⁵²¹³

24 God²³¹⁶ that made⁴¹⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ world²⁸⁸⁹ and²⁵³² all things³⁹⁵⁶ therein,¹⁷²² ⁸⁴⁶ seeing that he³⁷⁷⁸ is⁵²²⁵ Lord²⁹⁶² of heaven³⁷⁷² and²⁵³² earth,¹⁰⁹³ dwelleth²⁷³⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² temples³⁴⁸⁵ made with hands;⁵⁴⁹⁹

25 Neither³⁷⁶¹ is worshiped²³²³ with⁵²⁵⁹ men's⁴⁴⁴ hands,⁵⁴⁹⁵ as though he needed⁴³²⁶ any thing,⁵¹⁰⁰ seeing he⁸⁴⁶ giveth¹³²⁵ to all³⁹⁵⁶ life,²²²² and²⁵³² breath,⁴¹⁵⁷ and all things;²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁹⁵⁶

26 And⁵⁰³⁷ hath made⁴¹⁶⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ one¹⁵²⁰ blood¹²⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ nations¹⁴⁸⁴ of men⁴⁴⁴ for to dwell²⁷³⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ face⁴³⁸³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth,¹⁰⁹³ and hath determined³⁷²⁴ the times²⁵⁴⁰ before appointed,⁴³⁸⁴ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ bounds³⁷³⁴ of their⁸⁴⁸ habitation;²⁷³³

27 That they should seek²²¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² if¹⁴⁸⁷ haply⁶⁸⁶ ¹⁰⁶⁵ they might feel after⁵⁵⁸⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² find²¹⁴⁷ him, though²⁵⁴⁴ he be⁵²²⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ far³¹¹² from⁵⁷⁵ every¹⁵³⁸ one¹⁵²⁰ of us:²²⁵⁷

28 For¹⁰⁶³ in¹⁷²² him⁸⁴⁶ we live,²¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² move,²⁷⁹⁵ and²⁵³² have our being;²⁰⁷⁰ as⁵⁶¹³ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ also²⁵³² of your own²⁵⁹⁶ ⁵²⁰⁹ poets⁴¹⁶³ have said,²⁰⁴⁶ For¹⁰⁶³ we are²⁰⁷⁰ also²⁵³² his⁵¹²⁰ offspring.¹⁰⁸⁵

29 Forasmuch then³⁷⁶⁷ as we are⁵²²⁵ the offspring¹⁰⁸⁵ of God,²³¹⁶ we ought³⁷⁸⁴ not³⁷⁵⁶ to think³⁵⁴³ that the³⁵⁸⁸ Godhead²³⁰⁴ is¹⁵¹¹ like unto³⁶⁶⁴ gold,⁵⁵⁵⁷ or²²²⁸ silver,⁶⁹⁶ or²²²⁸ stone,³⁰³⁷ graven⁵⁴⁸⁰ by art⁵⁰⁷⁸ and²⁵³² man's⁴⁴⁴ device.¹⁷⁶¹

30 And³⁷⁶⁷ ³³⁰³ the³⁵⁸⁸ times⁵⁵⁵⁰ of this ignorance⁵² God²³¹⁶ winked⁵²³⁷ at; but now³⁵⁶⁹ commandeth³⁸⁵³ all³⁹⁵⁶ men⁴⁴⁴ every where³⁸³⁷ to repent:³³⁴⁰

31 Because¹³⁶⁰ he hath appointed²⁴⁷⁶ a day,²²⁵⁰ in¹⁷²² the which³⁷³⁹ he will³¹⁹⁵ judge²⁹¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ world³⁶²⁵ in¹⁷²² righteousness¹³⁴³ by¹⁷²² that man⁴³⁵ whom³⁷³⁹ he hath ordained;³⁷²⁴ whereof he hath given³⁹³⁰ assurance⁴¹⁰² unto all³⁹⁵⁶ men, in that he hath raised⁴⁵⁰ him⁸⁴⁶ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead.³⁴⁹⁸

32 And¹¹⁶¹ when they heard¹⁹¹ of the resurrection³⁸⁶ of the dead,³⁴⁹⁸ some³⁵⁸⁸ ³³⁰³ mocked:⁵⁵¹² and¹¹⁶¹ others³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ We will hear¹⁹¹ thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ again³⁸²⁵ of⁴⁰¹² this⁵¹²⁷ matter.

33 ²⁵³² So³⁷⁷⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² departed¹⁸³¹ from¹⁵³⁷ among³³¹⁹ them.⁸⁴⁶

34 Howbeit¹¹⁶¹ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ men⁴³⁵ cleaved²⁸⁵³ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² believed:⁴¹⁰⁰ among¹⁷²² the which³⁷³⁹ was Dionysius¹³⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Areopagite,⁶⁹⁸ and²⁵³² a woman¹¹³⁵ named³⁶⁸⁶ Damaris,¹¹⁵² and²⁵³² others²⁰⁸⁷ with⁴⁸⁶² them.⁸⁴⁶

Acts 18: 1-28

1 ¹¹⁶¹ After³³²⁶ these things⁵⁰²³ Paul³⁹⁷² departed⁵⁵⁶³ from¹⁵³⁷ Athens¹¹⁶ and came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Corinth;²⁸⁸²

2 And²⁵³² found²¹⁴⁷ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ Jew²⁴⁵³ named³⁶⁸⁶ Aquila,²⁰⁷ born¹⁰⁸⁵ in Pontus,⁴¹⁹³ lately⁴³⁷³ come²⁰⁶⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ Italy,²⁴⁸² with²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁸ wife¹¹³⁵ Priscilla; because that⁴²⁵² (Claudius²⁸⁰⁴ had commanded¹²⁹⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ Jews²⁴⁵³ to depart⁵⁵⁶³ from¹⁵³⁷ Rome:)⁴⁵¹⁶ and came⁴³³⁴ unto them.⁸⁴⁶

3 And²⁵³² because he was¹⁵¹¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ same craft,³⁶⁷³ he abode³³⁰⁶ with³⁸⁴⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² wrought:²⁰³⁸ for¹⁰⁶³ by their occupation⁵⁰⁷⁸ they were²²⁵⁸ tentmakers.⁴⁶³⁵

4 And¹¹⁶¹ he reasoned¹²⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue⁴⁸⁶⁴ every²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁹⁵⁶ sabbath,⁴⁵²¹ and⁵⁰³⁷ persuaded³⁹⁸² the Jews²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² the Greeks.¹⁶⁷²

5 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ ⁵⁰³⁷ Silas⁴⁶⁰⁹ and²⁵³² Timothy⁵⁰⁹⁵ were come²⁷¹⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ Macedonia,³¹⁰⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² was pressed⁴⁹¹² in the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ and testified¹²⁶³ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ that Jesus²⁴²⁴ was Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

6 And¹¹⁶¹ when they⁸⁴⁶ opposed themselves,⁴⁹⁸ and²⁵³² blasphemed,⁹⁸⁷ he shook¹⁶²¹ his raiment,²⁴⁴⁰ and said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Your⁵²¹⁶ blood¹²⁹ be upon¹⁹⁰⁹ your own⁵²¹⁶ heads;²⁷⁷⁶ I¹⁴⁷³ am clean:²⁵¹³ from⁵⁷⁵ henceforth³⁵⁶⁸ I will go⁴¹⁹⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles.¹⁴⁸⁴

7 And²⁵³² he departed³³²⁷ thence,¹⁵⁶⁴ and entered²⁰⁶⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man's house,³⁶¹⁴ named³⁶⁸⁶ Justus,²⁴⁵⁹ one that worshipped⁴⁵⁷⁶ God,²³¹⁶ whose³⁷³⁹ house³⁶¹⁴ joined hard²²⁵⁸ ⁴⁹²⁷ to the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue.⁴⁸⁶⁴

8 And¹¹⁶¹ Crispus,²⁹²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief ruler of the synagogue,⁷⁵² believed⁴¹⁰⁰ on the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² with⁴⁸⁶² all³⁶⁵⁰ his⁸⁴⁸ house;³⁶²⁴ and²⁵³² many⁴¹⁸³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Corinthians²⁸⁸¹ hearing¹⁹¹ believed,⁴¹⁰⁰ and²⁵³² were baptized.⁹⁰⁷

9 Then¹¹⁶¹ spake²⁰³⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² to Paul³⁹⁷² in¹⁷²² the night³⁵⁷¹ by¹²²³ a vision,³⁷⁰⁵ Be not afraid,⁵³⁹⁹ ³³⁶¹ but²³⁵ speak,²⁹⁸⁰ and²⁵³² hold not thy peace:⁴⁶²³ ³³⁶¹

10 For¹³⁶⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ with³³²⁶ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ and²⁵³² no man³⁷⁶² shall set on²⁰⁰⁷ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ to hurt²⁵⁵⁹ thee:⁴⁵⁷¹ for¹³⁶⁰ I³⁴²⁷ have²⁰⁷⁶ much⁴¹⁸³ people²⁹⁹² in¹⁷²² this⁵⁰²⁶ city.⁴¹⁷²

11 And⁵⁰³⁷ he continued²⁵²³ there a year¹⁷⁶³ and²⁵³² six¹⁸⁰³ months,³³⁷⁶ teaching¹³²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²³¹⁶ among¹⁷²² them.⁸⁴⁶

12 And¹¹⁶¹ when Gallio¹⁰⁵⁸ was the deputy⁴⁴⁵ of Achaia,⁸⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ made insurrection with one accord against²⁷²¹ ³⁶⁶¹ Paul,³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² brought⁷¹ him⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ judgment seat,⁹⁶⁸

13 Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ This³⁷⁷⁸ fellow persuadeth³⁷⁴ men⁴⁴⁴ to worship⁴⁵⁷⁶ God²³¹⁶ contrary³⁸⁴⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ law.³⁵⁵¹

14 And¹¹⁶¹ when Paul³⁹⁷² was now about³¹⁹⁵ to open⁴⁵⁵ his mouth,⁴⁷⁵⁰ Gallio¹⁰⁵⁸ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ If¹⁴⁸⁷ it³³⁰³ ³⁷⁶⁷ were²²⁵⁸ a⁵¹⁰⁰ matter of wrong⁹² or²²²⁸ wicked⁴¹⁹⁰ lewdness,⁴⁴⁶⁷ O⁵⁵⁹⁹ ye Jews,²⁴⁵³ reason³⁰⁵⁶ would that I should bear with⁴³⁰ ³⁰² you:⁵²¹⁶

15 But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ it be²⁰⁷⁶ a question²²¹³ of⁴⁰¹² words³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² names,³⁶⁸⁶ and²⁵³² of²⁵⁹⁶ your⁵²⁰⁹ law,³⁵⁵¹ look³⁷⁰⁰ ye⁸⁴⁶ to it; for¹⁰⁶³ I¹⁴⁷³ will¹⁰¹⁴ be¹⁵¹¹ no³⁷⁵⁶ judge²⁹²³ of such⁵¹³⁰ matters.

16 And²⁵³² he drove⁵⁵⁶ them⁸⁴⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ judgment seat.⁹⁶⁸

17 Then¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Greeks¹⁶⁷² took¹⁹⁴⁹ Sosthenes,⁴⁹⁸⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief ruler of the synagogue,⁷⁵² and beat⁵¹⁸⁰ him before¹⁷¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ judgment seat.⁹⁶⁸ And²⁵³² Gallio¹⁰⁵⁸ cared for³¹⁹⁹ none³⁷⁶² of those things.⁵¹³⁰

18 And¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² after this tarried⁴³⁵⁷ there yet²⁰⁸⁹ a good while,²⁴²⁵ ²²⁵⁰ and then took his leave⁶⁵⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren,⁸⁰ and sailed thence¹⁶⁰² into¹⁵¹⁹ Syria,⁴⁹⁴⁷ and²⁵³² with⁴⁸⁶² him⁸⁴⁶ Priscilla⁴²⁵² and²⁵³² Aquila;²⁰⁷ having shorn²⁷⁵¹ his head²⁷⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² Cenchrea:²⁷⁴⁷ for¹⁰⁶³ he had²¹⁹² a vow.²¹⁷¹

19 And¹¹⁶¹ he came²⁶⁵⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Ephesus,²¹⁸¹ and left them²⁵⁴⁸ ²⁶⁴¹ there:⁸⁴⁷ but¹¹⁶¹ he⁸⁴⁸ himself entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue,⁴⁸⁶⁴ and reasoned¹²⁵⁶ with the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews.²⁴⁵³

20 When¹¹⁶¹ they⁸⁴⁶ desired²⁰⁶⁵ him to tarry³³⁰⁶ longer⁴¹¹⁹ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ with³⁸⁴⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ he consented¹⁹⁶² not;³⁷⁵⁶

21 But²³⁵ bade them farewell,⁶⁵⁷ ⁸⁴⁶ saying,²⁰³⁶ I³¹⁶⁵ must¹¹⁶³ by all means³⁸⁴³ keep⁴¹⁶⁰ this feast¹⁸⁵⁹ that cometh²⁰⁶⁴ in¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem:²⁴¹⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ I will return³⁴⁴ again³⁸²⁵ unto⁴³¹⁴ you,⁵²⁰⁹ if God²³¹⁶ will.²³⁰⁹ And²⁵³² he sailed³²¹ from⁵⁷⁵ Ephesus.²¹⁸¹

22 And²⁵³² when he had landed²⁷¹⁸ at¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea,²⁵⁴² and gone up,³⁰⁵ and²⁵³² saluted⁷⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ he went down²⁵⁹⁷ to¹⁵¹⁹ Antioch.⁴⁹⁰

23 And²⁵³² after he had spent⁴¹⁶⁰ some⁵¹⁰⁰ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ there, he departed,¹⁸³¹ and went over¹³³⁰ all the³⁵⁸⁸ country⁵⁵⁶¹ of Galatia¹⁰⁵⁴ and²⁵³² Phrygia⁵⁴³⁵ in order,²⁵¹⁷ strengthening¹⁹⁹¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples.³¹⁰¹

24 And¹¹⁶¹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ Jew²⁴⁵³ named³⁶⁸⁶ Apollos,⁶²⁵ born¹⁰⁸⁵ at Alexandria,²²¹ an eloquent³⁰⁵² man,⁴³⁵ and⁵⁶⁰⁷ mighty¹⁴¹⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ Scriptures,¹¹²⁴ came²⁶⁵⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Ephesus.²¹⁸¹

25 This man³⁷⁷⁸ was²²⁵⁸ instructed²⁷²⁷ in the³⁵⁸⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord;²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² being fervent²²⁰⁴ in the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ he spake²⁹⁸⁰ and²⁵³² taught¹³²¹ diligently¹⁹⁹ the things³⁵⁸⁸ of⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² knowing¹⁹⁸⁷ only³⁴⁴⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ baptism⁹⁰⁸ of John.²⁴⁹¹

26 And⁵⁰³⁷ he³⁷⁷⁸ began⁷⁵⁶ to speak boldly³⁹⁵⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue:⁴⁸⁶⁴ ¹¹⁶¹ whom⁸⁴⁶ when Aquila²⁰⁷ and²⁵³² Priscilla⁴²⁵² had heard,¹⁹¹ they took him unto⁴³⁵⁵ ⁸⁴⁶ them, and²⁵³² expounded¹⁶²⁰ unto him⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ of God²³¹⁶ more perfectly.¹⁹⁷

27 And¹¹⁶¹ when he⁸⁴⁶ was disposed¹⁰¹⁴ to pass¹³³⁰ into¹⁵¹⁹ Achaia,⁸⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ wrote,¹¹²⁵ exhorting⁴³⁸⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ to receive⁵⁸⁸ him:⁸⁴⁶ who,³⁷³⁹ when he was come,³⁸⁵⁴ helped⁴⁸²⁰ them much⁴¹⁸³ which had believed⁴¹⁰⁰ through¹²²³ grace:⁵⁴⁸⁵

28 For¹⁰⁶³ he mightily²¹⁵⁹ convinced¹²⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ and that publicly,¹²¹⁹ showing¹⁹²⁵ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Scriptures¹¹²⁴ that Jesus²⁴²⁴ was¹⁵¹¹ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

Acts 19: 1-41

1 And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ that, while Apollos⁶²⁵ was¹⁵¹¹ at¹⁷²² Corinth,²⁸⁸² Paul³⁹⁷² having passed through¹³³⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ upper⁵¹⁰ coasts³³¹³ came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Ephesus:²¹⁸¹ and²⁵³² finding²¹⁴⁷ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ disciples,³¹⁰¹

2 He said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Have¹⁴⁸⁷ ye received²⁹⁸³ the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ since ye believed?⁴¹⁰⁰ And¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ We have not so much as²³⁵ ³⁷⁶¹ heard¹⁹¹ whether¹⁴⁸⁷ there be²⁰⁷⁶ any Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

3 And⁵⁰³⁷ he said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Unto¹⁵¹⁹ what⁵¹⁰¹ then³⁷⁶⁷ were ye baptized?⁹⁰⁷ And¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ Unto¹⁵¹⁹ John's²⁴⁹¹ baptism.⁹⁰⁸

4 Then¹¹⁶¹ said²⁰³⁶ Paul,³⁹⁷² John²⁴⁹¹ verily³³⁰³ baptized⁹⁰⁷ with the baptism⁹⁰⁸ of repentance,³³⁴¹ saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² that²⁴⁴³ they should believe⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁵¹⁹ him which should come²⁰⁶⁴ after³³²⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶ that is,⁵¹²³ on¹⁵¹⁹ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

5 When¹¹⁶¹ they heard¹⁹¹ this, they were baptized⁹⁰⁷ in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus.²⁴²⁴

6 And²⁵³² when Paul³⁹⁷² had laid²⁰⁰⁷ his hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ upon them,⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ came²⁰⁶⁴ on¹⁹⁰⁹ them;⁸⁴⁶ and⁵⁰³⁷ they spake²⁹⁸⁰ with tongues,¹¹⁰⁰ and²⁵³² prophesied.⁴³⁹⁵

7 And¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the men⁴³⁵ were²²⁵⁸ about⁵⁶¹⁶ twelve.¹¹⁷⁷

8 And¹¹⁶¹ he went¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue,⁴⁸⁶⁴ and spake boldly³⁹⁵⁵ for the space of¹⁹⁰⁹ three⁵¹⁴⁰ months,³³⁷⁶ disputing¹²⁵⁶ and²⁵³² persuading³⁹⁸² the things³⁵⁸⁸ concerning⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God.²³¹⁶

9 But¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ divers⁵¹⁰⁰ were hardened,⁴⁶⁴⁵ and²⁵³² believed not,⁵⁴⁴ but spake evil²⁵⁵¹ of that way³⁵⁹⁸ before¹⁷⁹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude,⁴¹²⁸ he departed⁸⁶⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ them,⁸⁴⁶ and separated⁸⁷³ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples,³¹⁰¹ disputing¹²⁵⁶ daily²⁵⁹⁶ ²²⁵⁰ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ school⁴⁹⁸¹ of one⁵¹⁰⁰ Tyrannus.⁵¹⁸¹

10 And¹¹⁶¹ this⁵¹²⁴ continued¹⁰⁹⁶ by the space of¹⁹⁰⁹ two¹⁴¹⁷ years;²⁰⁹⁴ so that⁵⁶²⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ they which dwelt²⁷³⁰ in Asia⁷⁷³ heard¹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus,²⁴²⁴ both⁵⁰³⁷ Jews²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² Greeks.¹⁶⁷²

11 And⁵⁰³⁷ God²³¹⁶ wrought⁴¹⁶⁰ special³⁷⁵⁶ ⁵¹⁷⁷ miracles¹⁴¹¹ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ of Paul:³⁹⁷²

12 So that⁵⁶²⁰ ²⁵³² from⁵⁷⁵ his⁸⁴⁶ body⁵⁵⁵⁹ were brought²⁰¹⁸ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sick⁷⁷⁰ handkerchiefs⁴⁶⁷⁶ or²²²⁸ aprons,⁴⁶¹² and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ diseases³⁵⁵⁴ departed⁵²⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ them,⁸⁴⁶ and⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ evil⁴¹⁹⁰ spirits⁴¹⁵¹ went¹⁸³¹ out of⁵⁷⁵ them.⁸⁴⁶

13 Then¹¹⁶¹ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ vagabond⁴⁰²² Jews,²⁴⁵³ exorcists,¹⁸⁴⁵ took upon²⁰²¹ them to call³⁶⁸⁷ over¹⁹⁰⁹ them which had²¹⁹² evil⁴¹⁹⁰ spirits⁴¹⁵¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus,²⁴²⁴ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ We adjure³⁷²⁶ you⁵²⁰⁹ by Jesus²⁴²⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² preacheth.²⁷⁸⁴

14 And¹¹⁶¹ there were²²⁵⁸ seven²⁰³³ sons⁵²⁰⁷ of one Sceva,⁴⁶³⁰ a Jew,²⁴⁵³ and chief of the priests,⁷⁴⁹ which did⁴¹⁶⁰ so.⁵¹²⁴

15 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ evil⁴¹⁹⁰ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ answered⁶¹¹ and said,²⁰³⁶ Jesus²⁴²⁴ I know,¹⁰⁹⁷ and²⁵³² Paul³⁹⁷² I know;¹⁹⁸⁷ but¹¹⁶¹ who⁵¹⁰¹ are²⁰⁷⁵ ye?⁵²¹⁰

16 And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ in¹⁷²² whom³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ evil⁴¹⁹⁰ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ was²²⁵⁸ leaped²¹⁷⁷ on¹⁹⁰⁹ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² overcame²⁶³⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ and prevailed²⁴⁸⁰ against²⁵⁹⁶ them,⁸⁴⁶ so that⁵⁶²⁰ they fled¹⁶²⁸ out of¹⁵³⁷ that¹⁵⁶⁵ house³⁶²⁴ naked¹¹³¹ and²⁵³² wounded.⁵¹³⁵

17 And¹¹⁶¹ this⁵¹²⁴ was¹⁰⁹⁶ known¹¹¹⁰ to all³⁹⁵⁶ the Jews²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² Greeks¹⁶⁷² also⁵⁰³⁷ dwelling²⁷³⁰ at Ephesus;²¹⁸¹ and²⁵³² fear⁵⁴⁰¹ fell¹⁹⁶⁸ on¹⁹⁰⁹ them⁸⁴⁶ all,³⁹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ was magnified.³¹⁷⁰

18 And⁵⁰³⁷ many⁴¹⁸³ that believed⁴¹⁰⁰ came,²⁰⁶⁴ and confessed,¹⁸⁴³ and²⁵³² showed³¹² their⁸⁴⁸ deeds.⁴²³⁴

19 ¹¹⁶¹ Many²⁴²⁵ of them also which used⁴²³⁸ curious arts⁴⁰²¹ brought their books together,⁴⁸⁵¹ ⁹⁷⁶ and burned²⁶¹⁸ them before¹⁷⁹⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ men: and²⁵³² they counted⁴⁸⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ price⁵⁰⁹² of them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² found²¹⁴⁷ it fifty thousand⁴⁰⁰² ³⁴⁶¹ pieces of silver.⁶⁹⁴

20 So³⁷⁷⁹ mightily²⁵⁹⁶ ²⁹⁰⁴ grew⁸³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² prevailed.²⁴⁸⁰

21 ¹¹⁶¹ After⁵⁶¹³ these things⁵⁰²³ were ended,⁴¹³⁷ Paul³⁹⁷² purposed⁵⁰⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ when he had passed through¹³³⁰ Macedonia³¹⁰⁹ and²⁵³² Achaia,⁸⁸² to go⁴¹⁹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ saying,²⁰³⁶ After I³¹⁶⁵ have been¹⁰⁹⁶ there,¹⁵⁶³ I³¹⁶⁵ must¹¹⁶³ also²⁵³² see¹⁴⁹² Rome.⁴⁵¹⁶

22 So¹¹⁶¹ he sent⁶⁴⁹ into¹⁵¹⁹ Macedonia³¹⁰⁹ two¹⁴¹⁷ of them that ministered¹²⁴⁷ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Timothy⁵⁰⁹⁵ and²⁵³² Erastus;²⁰³⁷ but he⁸⁴⁶ himself stayed¹⁹⁰⁷ in¹⁵¹⁹ Asia⁷⁷³ for a season.⁵⁵⁵⁰

23 And¹¹⁶¹ the same²⁵⁹⁶ ¹⁵⁶⁵ time²⁵⁴⁰ there arose¹⁰⁹⁶ no³⁷⁵⁶ small³⁶⁴¹ stir⁵⁰¹⁷ about⁴⁰¹² that way.³⁵⁹⁸

24 For¹⁰⁶³ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man named³⁶⁸⁶ Demetrius,¹²¹⁶ a silversmith,⁶⁹⁵ which made⁴¹⁶⁰ silver⁶⁹³ shrines³⁴⁸⁵ for Diana,⁷³⁵ brought³⁹³⁰ no³⁷⁵⁶ small³⁶⁴¹ gain²⁰³⁹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ craftsmen;⁵⁰⁷⁹

25 Whom³⁷³⁹ he called together⁴⁸⁶⁷ with²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ workmen²⁰⁴⁰ of⁴⁰¹² like occupation,⁵¹⁰⁸ and said,²⁰³⁶ Sirs,⁴³⁵ ye know¹⁹⁸⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ by¹⁵³⁷ this⁵⁰²⁶ craft²⁰³⁹ we have²⁰⁷⁶ our²²⁵⁷ wealth.²¹⁴²

26 Moreover²⁵³² ye see²³³⁴ and²⁵³² hear,¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ not³⁷⁵⁶ alone³⁴⁴⁰ at Ephesus,²¹⁸¹ but²³⁵ almost⁴⁹⁷⁵ throughout all³⁹⁵⁶ Asia,⁷⁷³ this³⁷⁷⁸ Paul³⁹⁷² hath persuaded³⁹⁸² and turned away³¹⁷⁹ much²⁴²⁵ people,³⁷⁹³ saying³⁰⁰⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ they be¹⁵²⁶ no³⁷⁵⁶ gods,²³¹⁶ which³⁵⁸⁸ are made¹⁰⁹⁶ with¹²²³ hands:⁵⁴⁹⁵

27 So that¹¹⁶¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ only³⁴⁴⁰ this⁵¹²⁴ our²²⁵⁴ craft³³¹³ is in danger²⁷⁹³ to be set at naught;²⁰⁶⁴ ¹⁵¹⁹ ⁵⁵⁷ but²³⁵ also²⁵³² that the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ great³¹⁷³ goddess²²⁹⁹ Diana⁷³⁵ should be despised,¹⁵¹⁹ ³⁷⁶² ³⁰⁴⁹ and¹¹⁶¹ her⁸⁴⁸ magnificence³¹⁶⁸ should³¹⁹⁵ be²⁵³² destroyed,²⁵⁰⁷ whom³⁷³⁹ all³⁶⁵⁰ Asia⁷⁷³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ world³⁶²⁵ worshippeth.⁴⁵⁷⁶

28 And¹¹⁶¹ when they heard¹⁹¹ these sayings, they were¹⁰⁹⁶ full⁴¹³⁴ of wrath,²³⁷² and²⁵³² cried out,²⁸⁹⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Great³¹⁷³ is Diana⁷³⁵ of the Ephesians.²¹⁸⁰

29 And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ whole³⁶⁵⁰ city⁴¹⁷² was filled⁴¹³⁰ with confusion:⁴⁷⁹⁹ and⁵⁰³⁷ having caught⁴⁸⁸⁴ Gaius¹⁰⁵⁰ and²⁵³² Aristarchus,⁷⁰⁸ men of Macedonia,³¹¹⁰ Paul's³⁹⁷² companions in travel,⁴⁸⁹⁸ they rushed³⁷²⁹ with one accord³⁶⁶¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ theater.²³⁰²

30 And¹¹⁶¹ when Paul³⁹⁷² would¹⁰¹⁴ have entered in¹⁵²⁵ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,¹²¹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ suffered¹⁴³⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ not.³⁷⁵⁶

31 And¹¹⁶¹ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ of²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ chief of Asia,⁷⁷⁵ which were⁵⁶⁰⁷ his⁸⁴⁶ friends,⁵³⁸⁴ sent³⁹⁹² unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ desiring³⁸⁷⁰ him that he would not³³⁶¹ adventure¹³²⁵ himself¹⁴³⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ theater.²³⁰²

32 Some therefore cried one thing,²⁴³ ³³⁰³ ³⁷⁶⁷ ²⁸⁹⁶ and some²⁴³ another:⁵¹⁰⁰ for¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ assembly¹⁵⁷⁷ was²²⁵⁸ confused;⁴⁷⁹⁷ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ more part⁴¹¹⁹ knew¹⁴⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ wherefore⁵¹⁰¹ ¹⁷⁵² they were come together.⁴⁹⁰⁵

33 And¹¹⁶¹ they drew⁴²⁶⁴ Alexander²²³ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude,³⁷⁹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ putting him forward.⁴²⁶¹ ⁸⁴⁶ And¹¹⁶¹ Alexander²²³ beckoned²⁶⁷⁸ with the³⁵⁸⁸ hand,⁵⁴⁹⁵ and would²³⁰⁹ have made his defense⁶²⁶ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ people.¹²¹⁸

34 But¹¹⁶¹ when they knew¹⁹²¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ he was²⁰⁷⁶ a Jew,²⁴⁵³ all with one voice¹⁰⁹⁶ ⁵⁴⁵⁶ ³³⁹¹ ¹⁵³⁷ ³⁹⁵⁶ about the space of⁵⁶¹³ ¹⁹⁰⁹ two¹⁴¹⁷ hours⁵⁶¹⁰ cried out,²⁸⁹⁶ Great³¹⁷³ is Diana⁷³⁵ of the Ephesians.²¹⁸⁰

35 And¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ town clerk¹¹²² had appeased²⁶⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,³⁷⁹³ he said,⁵³⁴⁶ Ye men⁴³⁵ of Ephesus,²¹⁸⁰ ¹⁰⁶³ what⁵¹⁰¹ man⁴⁴⁴ is²⁰⁷⁶ there that³⁷³⁹ knoweth¹⁰⁹⁷ not³⁷⁵⁶ how that the³⁵⁸⁸ city⁴¹⁷² of the Ephesians²¹⁸⁰ is⁵⁶⁰⁷ a worshiper³⁵¹¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ great³¹⁷³ goddess²²⁹⁹ Diana,⁷³⁵ and²⁵³² of the image which fell down from Jupiter?¹³⁵⁶

36 Seeing then³⁷⁶⁷ that these things⁵¹³⁰ cannot be spoken against,⁵⁶⁰⁷ ³⁶⁸ ye⁵²⁰⁹ ²⁰⁷⁶ ought¹¹⁶³ to be⁵²²⁵ quiet,²⁶⁸⁷ and²⁵³² to do⁴²³⁸ nothing³³⁶⁷ rashly.⁴³¹²

37 For¹⁰⁶³ ye have brought⁷¹ hither these⁵¹²⁸ men,⁴³⁵ which are neither³⁷⁷⁷ robbers of churches,²⁴¹⁷ nor³⁷⁷⁷ yet blasphemers⁹⁸⁷ of your⁵²¹⁶ goddess.²²⁹⁹

38 Wherefore³⁷⁶⁷ if¹⁴⁸⁷ ³³⁰³ Demetrius,¹²¹⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ craftsmen⁵⁰⁷⁹ which are with⁴⁸⁶² him,⁸⁴⁶ have²¹⁹² a matter³⁰⁵⁶ against⁴³¹⁴ any man,⁵¹⁰⁰ the law is open,⁶⁰ ⁷¹ and²⁵³² there are¹⁵²⁶ deputies:⁴⁴⁶ let them implead¹⁴⁵⁸ one another.²⁴⁰

39 But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ ye inquire¹⁹³⁴ any thing⁵¹⁰⁰ concerning⁴⁰¹² other matters,²⁰⁸⁷ it shall be determined¹⁹⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² a lawful¹⁷⁷² assembly.¹⁵⁷⁷

40 For¹⁰⁶³ we are in danger²⁷⁹³ to²⁵³² be called in question¹⁴⁵⁸ for⁴⁰¹² this day's⁴⁵⁹⁴ uproar,⁴⁷¹⁴ there being⁵²²⁵ no³³⁶⁷ cause¹⁵⁸ whereby⁴⁰¹² ³⁷³⁹ we may¹⁴¹⁰ give⁵⁹¹ an account³⁰⁵⁶ of this⁵⁰²⁶ concourse.⁴⁹⁶³

41 And²⁵³² when he had thus⁵⁰²³ spoken,²⁰³⁶ he dismissed⁶³⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ assembly.¹⁵⁷⁷

Acts 20: 1-38

1 And¹¹⁶¹ after the³⁵⁸⁸ uproar²³⁵¹ was ceased,³⁹⁷³ Paul³⁹⁷² called unto⁴³⁴¹ him the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples,³¹⁰¹ and²⁵³² embraced⁷⁸² them, and departed¹⁸³¹ for to go⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ Macedonia.³¹⁰⁹

2 And¹¹⁶¹ when he had gone over¹³³⁰ those¹⁵⁶⁵ parts,³³¹³ and²⁵³² had given³⁸⁷⁰ them⁸⁴⁶ much⁴¹⁸³ exhortation,³⁰⁵⁶ he came²⁰⁶⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ Greece,¹⁶⁷¹

3 And⁵⁰³⁷ there abode⁴¹⁶⁰ three⁵¹⁴⁰ months.³³⁷⁶ And when⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ laid wait for¹⁹¹⁷ ¹⁰⁹⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶ as he was about³¹⁹⁵ to sail³²¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ Syria,⁴⁹⁴⁷ he purposed¹⁰⁹⁶ ¹¹⁰⁶ to return⁵²⁹⁰ through¹²²³ Macedonia.³¹⁰⁹

4 And¹¹⁶¹ there accompanied⁴⁹⁰² him⁸⁴⁶ into⁸⁹¹ Asia⁷⁷³ Sopater⁴⁹⁸⁶ of Berea;⁹⁶¹ and¹¹⁶¹ of the Thessalonians,²³³¹ Aristarchus⁷⁰⁸ and²⁵³² Secundus;⁴⁵⁸⁰ and²⁵³² Gaius¹⁰⁵⁰ of Derbe,¹¹⁹⁰ and²⁵³² Timothy;⁵⁰⁹⁵ and¹¹⁶¹ of Asia,⁷⁷⁴ Tychicus⁵¹⁹⁰ and²⁵³² Trophimus.⁵¹⁶¹

5 These³⁷⁷⁸ going before⁴²⁸¹ tarried³³⁰⁶ for us²²⁴⁸ at¹⁷²² Troas.⁵¹⁷⁴

6 And¹¹⁶¹ we²²⁴⁹ sailed away¹⁶⁰² from⁵⁷⁵ Philippi⁵³⁷⁵ after³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ days²²⁵⁰ of unleavened bread,¹⁰⁶ and²⁵³² came²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ them⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Troas⁵¹⁷⁴ in⁸⁹¹ five⁴⁰⁰² days;²²⁵⁰ where³⁷⁵⁷ we abode¹³⁰⁴ seven²⁰³³ days.²²⁵⁰

7 And¹¹⁶¹ upon¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ first³³⁹¹ day of the³⁵⁸⁸ week,⁴⁵²¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ came together⁴⁸⁶³ to break²⁸⁰⁶ bread,⁷⁴⁰ Paul³⁹⁷² preached¹²⁵⁶ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ ready³¹⁹⁵ to depart¹⁸²⁶ on the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow;¹⁸⁸⁷ and⁵⁰³⁷ continued³⁹⁰⁵ his speech³⁰⁵⁶ until³³⁶⁰ midnight.³³¹⁷

8 And¹¹⁶¹ there were²²⁵⁸ many²⁴²⁵ lights²⁹⁸⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ upper chamber,⁵²⁵³ where³⁷⁵⁷ they were²²⁵⁸ gathered together.⁴⁸⁶³

9 And¹¹⁶¹ there sat²⁵²¹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ a window²³⁷⁶ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ young man³⁴⁹⁴ named³⁶⁸⁶ Eutychus,²¹⁶¹ being fallen into²⁷⁰² a deep⁹⁰¹ sleep:⁵²⁵⁸ and as Paul³⁹⁷² was¹⁹⁰⁹ long⁴¹¹⁹ preaching,¹²⁵⁶ he sunk down²⁷⁰² with⁵⁷⁵ sleep,⁵²⁵⁸ and fell⁴⁰⁹⁸ down²⁷³⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ third loft,⁵¹⁵² and²⁵³² was taken up¹⁴² dead.³⁴⁹⁸

10 And¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² went down,²⁵⁹⁷ and fell on¹⁹⁶⁸ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² embracing⁴⁸⁴³ him said,²⁰³⁶ Trouble not yourselves;²³⁵⁰ ³³⁶¹ for¹⁰⁶³ his⁸⁴⁶ life⁵⁵⁹⁰ is²⁰⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² him.⁸⁴⁶

11 When¹¹⁶¹ he therefore was come up again,³⁰⁵ and²⁵³² had broken²⁸⁰⁶ bread,⁷⁴⁰ and²⁵³² eaten,¹⁰⁸⁹ and⁵⁰³⁷ talked³⁶⁵⁶ a long while,¹⁹⁰⁹ ²⁴²⁵ even till⁸⁹¹ break of day,⁸²⁷ so³⁷⁷⁹ he departed.¹⁸³¹

12 And¹¹⁶¹ they brought⁷¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ young man³⁸¹⁶ alive,²¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² were not³⁷⁵⁶ a little³³⁵⁷ comforted.³⁸⁷⁰

13 And¹¹⁶¹ we²²⁴⁹ went before⁴²⁸¹ to¹⁹⁰⁹ ship,⁴¹⁴³ and sailed³²¹ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Assos,⁷⁸⁹ there¹⁵⁶⁴ intending³¹⁹⁵ to take in³⁵³ Paul:³⁹⁷² for¹⁰⁶³ so³⁷⁷⁹ had²²⁵⁸ he appointed,¹²⁹⁹ minding³¹⁹⁵ himself⁸⁴⁶ to go afoot.³⁹⁷⁸

14 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ he met⁴⁸²⁰ with us²²⁵⁴ at¹⁵¹⁹ Assos,⁷⁸⁹ we took him in,³⁵³ ⁸⁴⁶ and came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Mitylene.³⁴¹²

15 And we sailed thence,²⁵⁴⁷ ⁶³⁶ and came²⁶⁵⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ next¹⁹⁶⁶ day over against⁴⁸¹ Chios;⁵⁵⁰⁸ and¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ next²⁰⁸⁷ day we arrived³⁸⁴⁶ at¹⁵¹⁹ Samos,⁴⁵⁴⁴ and²⁵³² tarried³³⁰⁶ at¹⁷²² Trogyllium;⁵¹⁷⁵ and the³⁵⁸⁸ next²¹⁹² day we came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Miletus.³³⁹⁹

16 For¹⁰⁶³ Paul³⁹⁷² had determined²⁹¹⁹ to sail by³⁸⁹⁶ Ephesus,²¹⁸¹ because³⁷⁰⁴ he⁸⁴⁶ would¹⁰⁹⁶ not³³⁶¹ spend the time⁵⁵⁵¹ in¹⁷²² Asia:⁷⁷³ for¹⁰⁶³ he hasted,⁴⁶⁹² if¹⁴⁸⁷ it were²²⁵⁸ possible¹⁴¹⁵ for him,⁸⁴⁶ to be¹⁰⁹⁶ at¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ day²²⁵⁰ of Pentecost.⁴⁰⁰⁵

17 And¹¹⁶¹ from⁵⁷⁵ Miletus³³⁹⁹ he sent³⁹⁹² to¹⁵¹⁹ Ephesus,²¹⁸¹ and called³³³³ the³⁵⁸⁸ elders⁴²⁴⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ church.¹⁵⁷⁷

18 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ they were come³⁸⁵⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ he said²⁰³⁶ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Ye⁵²¹⁰ know,¹⁹⁸⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ the first⁴⁴¹³ day²²⁵⁰ that⁵⁷⁵ ³⁷³⁹ I came¹⁹¹⁰ into¹⁵¹⁹ Asia,⁷⁷³ after what manner⁴⁴⁵⁹ I have been¹⁰⁹⁶ with³³²⁶ you⁵²¹⁶ at all³⁹⁵⁶ seasons,⁵⁵⁵⁰

19 Serving¹³⁹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² with³³²⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ humility of mind,⁵⁰¹² and²⁵³² with many⁴¹⁸³ tears,¹¹⁴⁴ and²⁵³² temptations,³⁹⁸⁶ which befell⁴⁸¹⁹ me³⁴²⁷ by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ lying in wait¹⁹¹⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews:²⁴⁵³

20 And how⁵⁶¹³ I kept back⁵²⁸⁸ nothing³⁷⁶² that was profitable⁴⁸⁵¹ unto you,³³⁶¹ but have showed³¹² you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² have taught¹³²¹ you⁵²⁰⁹ publicly,¹²¹⁹ and²⁵³² from house to house,²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁶²⁴

21 Testifying¹²⁶³ both⁵⁰³⁷ to the Jews,²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² also to the Greeks,¹⁶⁷² repentance³³⁴¹ toward¹⁵¹⁹ God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² faith⁴¹⁰² toward¹⁵¹⁹ our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

22 And²⁵³² now,³⁵⁶⁸ behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ go⁴¹⁹⁸ bound¹²¹⁰ in the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ not³³⁶¹ knowing¹⁴⁹² the things that shall befall⁴⁸⁷⁶ me³⁴²⁷ there:¹⁷²² ⁸⁴⁶

23 Save⁴¹³³ that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ witnesseth¹²⁶³ in every city,²⁵⁹⁶ ⁴¹⁷² saying³⁰⁰⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ bonds¹¹⁹⁹ and²⁵³² afflictions²³⁴⁷ abide³³⁰⁶ me.³¹⁶⁵

24 But²³⁵ none of these things move me,⁴¹⁶⁰ ³⁰⁵⁶ ³⁷⁶² neither³⁷⁶¹ count²¹⁹² I my³⁴⁵⁰ life⁵⁵⁹⁰ dear⁵⁰⁹³ unto myself,¹⁶⁸³ so that⁵⁶¹³ I might finish⁵⁰⁴⁸ my³⁴⁵⁰ course¹⁴⁰⁸ with³³²⁶ joy,⁵⁴⁷⁹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ ministry,¹²⁴⁸ which³⁷³⁹ I have received²⁹⁸³ of³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus,²⁴²⁴ to testify¹²⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel²⁰⁹⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of God.²³¹⁶

25 And²⁵³² now,³⁵⁶⁸ behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ know¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ ye⁵²¹⁰ all,³⁹⁵⁶ among¹⁷²² whom³⁷³⁹ I have gone¹³³⁰ preaching²⁷⁸⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God,²³¹⁶ shall see³⁷⁰⁰ my³⁴⁵⁰ face⁴³⁸³ no more.³⁷⁶⁵

26 Wherefore¹³⁵² I take you to record³¹⁴³ ⁵²¹³ this⁴⁵⁹⁴ day,²²⁵⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ I¹⁴⁷³ am pure²⁵¹³ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ blood¹²⁹ of all³⁹⁵⁶ men.

27 For¹⁰⁶³ I have not³⁷⁵⁶ shunned⁵²⁸⁸ to³³⁶¹ declare³¹² unto you⁵²¹³ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ counsel¹⁰¹² of God.²³¹⁶

28 Take heed⁴³³⁷ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ unto yourselves,¹⁴³⁸ and²⁵³² to all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ flock,⁴¹⁶⁸ over¹⁷²² the which³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ hath made⁵⁰⁸⁷ you⁵²⁰⁹ overseers,¹⁹⁸⁵ to feed⁴¹⁶⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ of God,²³¹⁶ which³⁷³⁹ he hath purchased⁴⁰⁴⁶ with¹²²³ his own²³⁹⁸ blood.¹²⁹

29 For¹⁰⁶³ I¹⁴⁷³ know¹⁴⁹² this,⁵¹²⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ after³³²⁶ my³⁴⁵⁰ departing⁸⁶⁷ shall grievous⁹²⁶ wolves³⁰⁷⁴ enter in¹⁵²⁵ among¹⁵¹⁹ you,⁵²⁰⁹ not³³⁶¹ sparing⁵³³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ flock.⁴¹⁶⁸

30 Also²⁵³² of¹⁵³⁷ your own selves⁵²¹⁶ ⁸⁴⁶ shall men⁴³⁵ arise,⁴⁵⁰ speaking²⁹⁸⁰ perverse things,¹²⁹⁴ to draw away⁶⁴⁵ disciples³¹⁰¹ after³⁶⁹⁴ them.⁸⁴⁶

31 Therefore¹³⁵² watch,¹¹²⁷ and remember,³⁴²¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ by the space of three years⁵¹⁴⁸ I ceased³⁹⁷³ not³⁷⁵⁶ to warn³⁵⁶⁰ every¹⁵³⁸ one¹⁵²⁰ night³⁵⁷¹ and²⁵³² day²²⁵⁰ with³³²⁶ tears.¹¹⁴⁴

32 And²⁵³² now,³⁵⁶⁹ brethren,⁸⁰ I commend³⁹⁰⁸ you⁵²⁰⁹ to God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of his⁸⁴⁶ grace,⁵⁴⁸⁵ which is able¹⁴¹⁰ to build you up,²⁰²⁶ and²⁵³² to give¹³²⁵ you⁵²¹³ an inheritance²⁸¹⁷ among¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ them which are sanctified.³⁷

33 I have coveted¹⁹³⁷ no man's³⁷⁶² silver,⁶⁹⁴ or²²²⁸ gold,⁵⁵⁵³ or²²²⁸ apparel.²⁴⁴¹

34 Yea,¹¹⁶¹ ye⁸⁴⁶ yourselves know,¹⁰⁹⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ these³⁷⁷⁸ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ have ministered⁵²⁵⁶ unto my³⁴⁵⁰ necessities,⁵⁵³² and²⁵³² to them that were⁵⁶⁰⁷ with³³²⁶ me.¹⁷⁰⁰

35 I have showed⁵²⁶³ you⁵²¹³ all things,³⁹⁵⁶ how that³⁷⁵⁴ so³⁷⁷⁹ laboring²⁸⁷² ye ought¹¹⁶³ to support⁴⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ weak,⁷⁷⁰ and⁵⁰³⁷ to remember³⁴²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ words³⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus,²⁴²⁴ how³⁷⁵⁴ he⁸⁴⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ It is²⁰⁷⁶ more³¹²³ blessed³¹⁰⁷ to give¹³²⁵ than²²²⁸ to receive.²⁹⁸³

36 And²⁵³² when he had thus⁵⁰²³ spoken,²⁰³⁶ he kneeled down,⁵⁰⁸⁷ ⁸⁴⁶ ¹¹¹⁹ and prayed⁴³³⁶ with⁴⁸⁶² them⁸⁴⁶ all.³⁹⁵⁶

37 And¹¹⁶¹ they all wept sore,¹⁰⁹⁶ ²⁴²⁵ ²⁸⁰⁵ ³⁹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² fell¹⁹⁶⁸ on¹⁹⁰⁹ Paul's³⁹⁷² neck,⁵¹³⁷ and kissed²⁷⁰⁵ him,⁸⁴⁶

38 Sorrowing³⁶⁰⁰ most of all³¹²² for¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ words³⁰⁵⁶ which³⁷³⁹ he spake,²⁰⁴⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ they should³¹⁹⁵ see²³³⁴ his⁸⁴⁸ face⁴³⁸³ no more.³⁷⁶⁵ And¹¹⁶¹ they accompanied⁴³¹¹ him⁸⁴⁶ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship.⁴¹⁴³

Acts 21: 1-40

1 And¹¹⁶¹ it⁵⁶¹³ came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ that after we²²⁴⁸ were gotten⁶⁴⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ them,⁸⁴⁶ and had launched,³²¹ we came²⁰⁶⁴ with a straight course²¹¹³ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Coos,²⁹⁷² and¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ day following¹⁸³⁶ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Rhodes,⁴⁴⁹⁹ and from thence²⁵⁴⁷ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Patara:³⁹⁵⁹

2 And²⁵³² finding²¹⁴⁷ a ship⁴¹⁴³ sailing over¹²⁷⁶ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Phoenicia,⁵⁴⁰³ we went aboard,¹⁹¹⁰ and set forth.³²¹

3 Now¹¹⁶¹ when we had discovered³⁹⁸ Cyprus,²⁹⁵⁴ we²⁵³² left²⁶⁴¹ it⁸⁴⁶ on the left hand,²¹⁷⁶ and sailed⁴¹²⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ Syria,⁴⁹⁴⁷ and²⁵³² landed²⁶⁰⁹ at¹⁵¹⁹ Tyre:⁵¹⁸⁴ for¹⁰⁶³ there¹⁵⁶⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship⁴¹⁴³ was²²⁵⁸ to unlade⁶⁷⁰ her burden.¹¹¹⁷

4 And²⁵³² finding⁴²⁹ disciples³¹⁰¹ we tarried¹⁹⁶¹ there⁸⁴⁷ seven²⁰³³ days:²²⁵⁰ who³⁷⁴⁸ said³⁰⁰⁴ to Paul³⁹⁷² through¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ that he should not³³⁶¹ go up³⁰⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem.²⁴¹⁹

5 And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ we²²⁴⁸ had¹⁰⁹⁶ accomplished¹⁸²² those days,²²⁵⁰ we departed¹⁸³¹ and went our way;⁴¹⁹⁸ and they all³⁹⁵⁶ brought us on our way,⁴³¹¹ ²²⁴⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² wives¹¹³⁵ and²⁵³² children,⁵⁰⁴³ till²¹⁹³ we were out¹⁸⁵⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city:⁴¹⁷² and²⁵³² we kneeled down⁵⁰⁸⁷ ¹¹¹⁹ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ shore,¹²³ and prayed.⁴³³⁶

6 And²⁵³² when we had taken our leave⁷⁸² one of another,²⁴⁰ we took ship;¹⁹¹⁰ ¹⁵¹⁹ ⁴¹⁴³ and¹¹⁶¹ they¹⁵⁶⁵ returned⁵²⁹⁰ home again.¹⁵¹⁹ ²³⁹⁸

7 And¹¹⁶¹ when we²²⁴⁹ had finished¹²⁷⁴ our course⁴¹⁴⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ Tyre,⁵¹⁸⁴ we came²⁶⁵⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Ptolemais,⁴⁴²⁴ and²⁵³² saluted⁷⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren,⁸⁰ and abode³³⁰⁶ with³⁸⁴⁴ them⁸⁴⁶ one³³⁹¹ day.²²⁵⁰

8 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ next¹⁸⁸⁷ day we that were of Paul's company⁴⁰¹² ³⁹⁷² departed,¹⁸³¹ and came²⁰⁶⁴ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea:²⁵⁴² and²⁵³² we entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ house³⁶²⁴ of Philip⁵³⁷⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ evangelist,²⁰⁹⁹ which was⁵⁶⁰⁷ was⁵⁶⁰⁷ one of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ seven;²⁰³³ and abode³³⁰⁶ with³⁸⁴⁴ him.⁸⁴⁶

9 And¹¹⁶¹ the same man⁵¹²⁹ had²²⁵⁸ four⁵⁰⁶⁴ daughters,²³⁶⁴ virgins,³⁹³³ which did prophesy.⁴³⁹⁵

10 And¹¹⁶¹ as we²²⁵⁷ tarried¹⁹⁶¹ there many⁴¹¹⁹ days,²²⁵⁰ there came down²⁷¹⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ Judea²⁴⁴⁹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ prophet,⁴³⁹⁶ named³⁶⁸⁶ Agabus.¹³

11 And²⁵³² when he was come²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ us,²²⁴⁸ he²⁵³² took¹⁴² Paul's³⁹⁷² girdle,²²²³ and⁵⁰³⁷ bound¹²¹⁰ his own⁸⁴⁸ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ and²⁵³² feet,⁴²²⁸ and said,²⁰³⁶ Thus³⁵⁹² saith³⁰⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ So³⁷⁷⁹ shall the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ at¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ bind¹²¹⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ man⁴³⁵ that³⁷³⁹ owneth²⁰⁷⁶ this³⁷⁷⁸ girdle,²²²³ and²⁵³² shall deliver³⁸⁶⁰ him into¹⁵¹⁹ the hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ of the Gentiles.¹⁴⁸⁴

12 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ we heard¹⁹¹ these things,⁵⁰²³ both⁵⁰³⁷ we,²²⁴⁹ and²⁵³² they of that place,¹⁷⁸⁶ besought³⁸⁷⁰ him⁸⁴⁶ not³³⁶¹ to go up³⁰⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem.²⁴¹⁹

13 Then¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² answered,⁶¹¹ What⁵¹⁰¹ mean⁴¹⁶⁰ ye to weep²⁷⁹⁹ and²⁵³² to break⁴⁹¹⁹ mine³⁴⁵⁰ heart?²⁵⁸⁸ for¹⁰⁶³ I¹⁴⁷³ am²¹⁹² ready²⁰⁹³ not³⁷⁵⁶ to be bound¹²¹⁰ only,³⁴⁴⁰ but²³⁵ also²⁵³² to die⁵⁹⁹ at¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ for⁵²²⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus.²⁴²⁴

14 And¹¹⁶¹ when he⁸⁴⁶ would not³³⁶¹ be persuaded,³⁹⁸² we ceased,²²⁷⁰ saying,²⁰³⁶ The³⁵⁸⁸ will²³⁰⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² be done.¹⁰⁹⁶

15 And¹¹⁶¹ after³³²⁶ those⁵⁰²⁵ days²²⁵⁰ we took up our carriages,⁶⁴³ and went up³⁰⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem.²⁴¹⁹

16 There¹¹⁶¹ went⁴⁹⁰⁵ with⁴⁸⁶² us²²⁵⁴ also²⁵³² certain of the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ of⁵⁷⁵ Caesarea,²⁵⁴² and brought⁷¹ with them one⁵¹⁰⁰ Mnason³⁴¹⁶ of Cyprus,²⁹⁵³ an old⁷⁴⁴ disciple,³¹⁰¹ with³⁸⁴⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ we should lodge.³⁵⁷⁹

17 And¹¹⁶¹ when we²²⁵⁷ were come¹⁰⁹⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ received¹²⁰⁹ us²²⁴⁸ gladly.⁷⁸⁰

18 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ day following¹⁹⁶⁶ Paul³⁹⁷² went in¹⁵²⁴ with⁴⁸⁶² us²²⁵⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ James;²³⁸⁵ and⁵⁰³⁷ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ elders⁴²⁴⁵ were present.³⁸⁵⁴

19 And²⁵³² when he had saluted⁷⁸² them,⁸⁴⁶ he declared¹⁸³⁴ particularly²⁵⁹⁶ ¹⁵²⁰ ¹⁵³⁸ what things³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ had wrought⁴¹⁶⁰ among¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ by¹²²³ his⁸⁴⁸ ministry.¹²⁴⁸

20 And¹¹⁶¹ when they³⁵⁸⁸ heard¹⁹¹ it, they glorified¹³⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² and⁵⁰³⁷ said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Thou seest,²³³⁴ brother,⁸⁰ how many⁴²¹⁴ thousands³⁴⁶¹ of Jews²⁴⁵³ there are¹⁵²⁶ which believe;⁴¹⁰⁰ and²⁵³² they are⁵²²⁵ all³⁹⁵⁶ zealous²²⁰⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ law:³⁵⁵¹

21 And¹¹⁶¹ they are informed²⁷²⁷ of⁴⁰¹² thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ that³⁷⁵⁴ thou teachest¹³²¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the Jews²⁴⁵³ which³⁵⁸⁸ are among²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ to forsake⁶⁴⁶ Moses,³⁴⁷⁵ saying³⁰⁰⁴ that they⁸⁴⁶ ought not³³⁶¹ to circumcise⁴⁰⁵⁹ their children,⁵⁰⁴³ neither³³⁶⁶ to walk⁴⁰⁴³ after the³⁵⁸⁸ customs.¹⁴⁸⁵

22 What⁵¹⁰¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ it therefore?³⁷⁶⁷ the multitude⁴¹²⁸ must¹¹⁶³ needs³⁸⁴³ come together:⁴⁹⁰⁵ for¹⁰⁶³ they will hear¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ thou art come.²⁰⁶⁴

23 Do⁴¹⁶⁰ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ this⁵¹²⁴ that³⁷³⁹ we say³⁰⁰⁴ to thee:⁴⁶⁷¹ We²²⁵⁴ have¹⁵²⁶ four⁵⁰⁶⁴ men⁴³⁵ which have²¹⁹² a vow²¹⁷¹ on¹⁹⁰⁹ them;¹⁴³⁸

24 Them⁵¹²⁸ take,³⁸⁸⁰ and purify⁴⁸ thyself with⁴⁸⁶² them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² be at charges¹¹⁵⁹ with¹⁹⁰⁹ them,⁸⁴⁶ that²⁴⁴³ they may shave³⁵⁸⁷ their heads:²⁷⁷⁶ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ may know¹⁰⁹⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ those things, whereof³⁷³⁹ they were informed²⁷²⁷ concerning⁴⁰¹² thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ are²⁰⁷⁶ nothing;³⁷⁶² but²³⁵ that thou⁸⁴⁸ thyself also²⁵³² walkest orderly,⁴⁷⁴⁸ and keepest⁵⁴⁴² the³⁵⁸⁸ law.³⁵⁵¹

25 ¹¹⁶¹ As touching⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ which believe,⁴¹⁰⁰ we²²⁴⁹ have written¹⁹⁸⁹ and concluded²⁹¹⁹ that they⁸⁴⁶ observe⁵⁰⁸³ no³³⁶⁷ such thing,⁵¹⁰⁸ save¹⁵⁰⁸ only that they keep⁵⁴⁴² themselves⁸⁴⁶ from⁵⁰³⁷ things offered to idols,¹⁴⁹⁴ and²⁵³² from blood,¹²⁹ and²⁵³² from strangled,⁴¹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² from fornication.⁴²⁰²

26 Then⁵¹¹⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² took³⁸⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ men,⁴³⁵ and the³⁵⁸⁸ next²¹⁹² day²²⁵⁰ purifying⁴⁸ himself with⁴⁸⁶² them⁸⁴⁶ entered¹⁵²⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ to signify¹²²⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ accomplishment¹⁶⁰⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ days²²⁵⁰ of purification,⁴⁹ until²¹⁹³ ³⁷⁵⁷ that an offering⁴³⁷⁶ should be offered⁴³⁷⁴ for⁵²²⁸ every¹⁵³⁸ one¹⁵²⁰ of them.⁸⁴⁶

27 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ seven²⁰³³ days²²⁵⁰ were almost³¹⁹⁵ ended,⁴⁹³¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ which were of⁵⁷⁵ Asia,⁷⁷³ when they saw²³⁰⁰ him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ stirred up⁴⁷⁹⁷ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,³⁷⁹³ and²⁵³² laid¹⁹¹¹ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ on¹⁹⁰⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶

28 Crying out,²⁸⁹⁶ Men⁴³⁵ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁵ help:⁹⁹⁷ This³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ man,⁴⁴⁴ that teacheth¹³²¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ men every where³⁸³⁷ against²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ law,³⁵⁵¹ and²⁵³² this⁵¹²⁷ place:⁵¹¹⁷ and⁵⁰³⁷ further²⁰⁸⁹ brought¹⁵²¹ Greeks¹⁶⁷² also²⁵³² into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² hath polluted²⁸⁴⁰ this⁵¹²⁶ holy⁴⁰ place.⁵¹¹⁷

29 (For¹⁰⁶³ they had²²⁵⁸ seen before⁴³⁰⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ city⁴¹⁷² Trophimus⁵¹⁶¹ an Ephesian,²¹⁸⁰ whom³⁷³⁹ they supposed³⁵⁴³ that³⁷⁵⁴ Paul³⁹⁷² had brought¹⁵²¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple.)²⁴¹¹

30 And⁵⁰³⁷ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ city⁴¹⁷² was moved,²⁷⁹⁵ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² ran together:¹⁰⁹⁶ ⁴⁸⁹⁰ and²⁵³² they took¹⁹⁴⁹ Paul,³⁹⁷² and drew¹⁶⁷⁰ him⁸⁴⁶ out¹⁸⁵⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ temple:²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² forthwith²¹¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ doors²³⁷⁴ were shut.²⁸⁰⁸

31 And¹¹⁶¹ as they went about²²¹² to kill⁶¹⁵ him,⁸⁴⁶ tidings⁵³³⁴ came³⁰⁵ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ band,⁴⁶⁸⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ all³⁶⁵⁰ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ was in an uproar.⁴⁷⁹⁷

32 Who³⁷³⁹ immediately¹⁸²⁴ took³⁸⁸⁰ soldiers⁴⁷⁵⁷ and²⁵³² centurions,¹⁵⁴³ and ran down²⁷⁰¹ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ them:⁸⁴⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ when they³⁵⁸⁸ saw¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers,⁴⁷⁵⁷ they left³⁹⁷³ beating⁵¹⁸⁰ of Paul.³⁹⁷²

33 Then⁵¹¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ came near,¹⁴⁴⁸ and took¹⁹⁴⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² commanded²⁷⁵³ him to be bound¹²¹⁰ with two¹⁴¹⁷ chains;²⁵⁴ and²⁵³² demanded⁴⁴⁴¹ who⁵¹⁰¹ he was,¹⁴⁹⁸ ³⁰² and²⁵³² what⁵¹⁰¹ he had²⁰⁷⁶ done.⁴¹⁶⁰

34 And¹¹⁶¹ some cried one thing, some another,²⁴³ ⁹⁹⁴ ²⁴³ ⁵¹⁰⁰ among¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude:³⁷⁹³ and¹¹⁶¹ when he could¹⁴¹⁰ not³³⁶¹ know¹⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ certainty⁸⁰⁴ for¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ tumult,²³⁵¹ he commanded²⁷⁵³ him⁸⁴⁶ to be carried⁷¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ castle.³⁹²⁵

35 And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ he came¹⁰⁹⁶ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ stairs,³⁰⁴ so it was,⁴⁸¹⁹ that he⁸⁴⁶ was borne⁹⁴¹ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers⁴⁷⁵⁷ for¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ violence⁹⁷⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ people.³⁷⁹³

36 For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude⁴¹²⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² followed after,¹⁹⁰ crying,²⁸⁹⁶ Away¹⁴² with him.⁸⁴⁶

37 And⁵⁰³⁷ as Paul³⁹⁷² was³¹⁹⁵ to be led¹⁵²¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ castle,³⁹²⁵ he said³⁰⁰⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain,⁵⁵⁰⁶ ¹⁴⁸⁷ May¹⁸³² I³⁴²⁷ speak²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ thee?⁴⁵⁷¹ ¹¹⁶¹ Who³⁵⁸⁸ said,⁵³⁴⁶ Canst thou speak Greek?¹⁰⁹⁷ ¹⁶⁷⁶

38 Art¹⁴⁸⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ that⁶⁸⁶ Egyptian,¹²⁴ which before⁴²⁵³ these⁵¹³⁰ days²²⁵⁰ madest an uproar,³⁸⁷ and²⁵³² leddest out¹⁸⁰⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ wilderness²⁰⁴⁸ four thousand⁵⁰⁷⁰ men⁴³⁵ that were murderers?⁴⁶⁰⁷

39 But¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² said,²⁰³⁶ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ a man⁴⁴⁴ which³³⁰³ am a Jew²⁴⁵³ of Tarsus,⁵⁰¹⁸ a city in Cilicia,²⁷⁹¹ a citizen⁴¹⁷⁷ of no³⁷⁵⁶ mean⁷⁶⁷ city:⁴¹⁷² and,¹¹⁶¹ I beseech¹¹⁸⁹ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ suffer²⁰¹⁰ me³⁴²⁷ to speak²⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ people.²⁹⁹²

40 And¹¹⁶¹ when he⁸⁴⁶ had given him license,²⁰¹⁰ Paul³⁹⁷² stood²⁴⁷⁶ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ stairs,³⁰⁴ and beckoned²⁶⁷⁸ with the³⁵⁸⁸ hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ people.²⁹⁹² And¹¹⁶¹ when there was made¹⁰⁹⁶ a great⁴¹⁸³ silence,⁴⁶⁰² he spake unto⁴³⁷⁷ them in the³⁵⁸⁸ Hebrew¹⁴⁴⁶ tongue,¹²⁵⁸ saying,³⁰⁰⁴

Acts 22: 1-30

1 Men,⁴³⁵ brethren,⁸⁰ and²⁵³² fathers,³⁹⁶² hear¹⁹¹ ye my³⁴⁵⁰ defense⁶²⁷ which I make now³⁵⁶⁸ unto⁴³¹⁴ you.⁵²⁰⁹

2 (And¹¹⁶¹ when they heard¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ he spake⁴³⁷⁷ in the³⁵⁸⁸ Hebrew¹⁴⁴⁶ tongue¹²⁵⁸ to them,⁸⁴⁶ they kept³⁹³⁰ the more³¹²³ silence:²²⁷¹ and²⁵³² he saith,)⁵³⁴⁶

3 I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ verily³³⁰³ a man⁴³⁵ which am a Jew,²⁴⁵³ born¹⁰⁸⁰ in¹⁷²² Tarsus,⁵⁰¹⁹ a city in Cilicia,²⁷⁹¹ yet¹¹⁶¹ brought up³⁹⁷ in¹⁷²² this⁵⁰²⁶ city⁴¹⁷² at³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ feet⁴²²⁸ of Gamaliel,¹⁰⁵⁹ and taught³⁸¹¹ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the perfect manner¹⁹⁵ of the law³⁵⁵¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ fathers,³⁹⁷¹ and was⁵²²⁵ zealous²²⁰⁷ toward God,²³¹⁶ as²⁵³¹ ye⁵²¹⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ are²⁰⁷⁵ this day.⁴⁵⁹⁴

4 And I³⁷³⁹ persecuted¹³⁷⁷ this⁵⁰²⁶ way³⁵⁹⁸ unto⁸⁹¹ the death,²²⁸⁸ binding¹¹⁹⁵ and²⁵³² delivering³⁸⁶⁰ into¹⁵¹⁹ prisons⁵⁴³⁸ both⁵⁰³⁷ men⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² women.¹¹³⁵

5 As⁵⁶¹³ also²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest⁷⁴⁹ doth bear me witness,³¹⁴⁰ ³⁴²⁷ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ estate of the elders:⁴²⁴⁴ from³⁸⁴⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² I received¹²⁰⁹ letters¹⁹⁹² unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren,⁸⁰ and went⁴¹⁹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Damascus,¹¹⁵⁴ to bring⁷¹ ²⁵³² them which were⁵⁶⁰⁷ there¹⁵⁶⁶ bound¹²¹⁰ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ for to²⁴⁴³ be punished.⁵⁰⁹⁷

6 And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ that, as I³⁴²⁷ made my journey,⁴¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² was come nigh¹⁴⁴⁸ unto Damascus¹¹⁵⁴ about⁴⁰¹² noon,³³¹⁴ suddenly¹⁸¹⁰ there shone⁴⁰¹⁵ from¹⁵³⁷ heaven³⁷⁷² a great²⁴²⁵ light⁵⁴⁵⁷ round about⁴⁰¹² me.¹⁶⁹¹

7 And⁵⁰³⁷ I fell⁴⁰⁹⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ ground,¹⁴⁷⁵ and²⁵³² heard¹⁹¹ a voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto me,³⁴²⁷ Saul,⁴⁵⁴⁹ Saul,⁴⁵⁴⁹ why⁵¹⁰¹ persecutest¹³⁷⁷ thou me?³¹⁶⁵

8 And¹¹⁶¹ I¹⁴⁷³ answered,⁶¹¹ Who⁵¹⁰¹ art¹⁴⁸⁸ thou, Lord?²⁹⁶² And⁵⁰³⁷ he said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ me,³¹⁶⁵ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ Jesus²⁴²⁴ of Nazareth,³⁴⁸⁰ whom³⁷³⁹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ persecutest.¹³⁷⁷

9 And¹¹⁶¹ they that were⁵⁶⁰⁷ with⁴⁸⁶² me¹⁶⁹⁸ saw²³⁰⁰ indeed³³⁰³ the³⁵⁸⁸ light,⁵⁴⁵⁷ and²⁵³² were¹⁰⁹⁶ afraid;¹⁷¹⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ they heard¹⁹¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ of him that spake²⁹⁸⁰ to me.³⁴²⁷

10 And¹¹⁶¹ I said,²⁰³⁶ What⁵¹⁰¹ shall I do,⁴¹⁶⁰ Lord?²⁹⁶² And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ me,³¹⁶⁵ Arise,⁴⁵⁰ and go⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ Damascus;¹¹⁵⁴ and there²⁵⁴⁶ it shall be told²⁹⁸⁰ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ of⁴⁰¹² all things³⁹⁵⁶ which³⁷³⁹ are appointed⁵⁰²¹ for thee⁴⁶⁷¹ to do.⁴¹⁶⁰

11 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ I could not³⁷⁵⁶ see¹⁶⁸⁹ for⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ glory¹³⁹¹ of that¹⁵⁶⁵ light,⁵⁴⁵⁷ being led by the hand⁵⁴⁹⁶ of⁵²⁵⁹ them that were with⁴⁸⁹⁵ me,³⁴²⁷ I came²⁰⁶⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ Damascus.¹¹⁵⁴

12 And¹¹⁶¹ one⁵¹⁰⁰ Ananias,³⁶⁷ a devout²¹⁵² man⁴³⁵ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ law,³⁵⁵¹ having a good report³¹⁴⁰ of⁵²⁵⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ which dwelt²⁷³⁰ there,

13 Came²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ me,³¹⁶⁵ and²⁵³² stood,²¹⁸⁶ and said²⁰³⁶ unto me,³⁴²⁷ Brother⁸⁰ Saul,⁴⁵⁴⁹ receive thy sight.³⁰⁸ And the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ I²⁵⁰⁴ looked up³⁰⁸ upon¹⁵¹⁹ him.⁸⁴⁶

14 And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ The³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of our²²⁵⁷ fathers³⁹⁶² hath chosen⁴⁴⁰⁰ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ that thou shouldest know¹⁰⁹⁷ his⁸⁴⁸ will,²³⁰⁷ and²⁵³² see¹⁴⁹² that Just One,¹³⁴² and²⁵³² shouldest hear¹⁹¹ the voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ his⁸⁴⁸ mouth.⁴⁷⁵⁰

15 For³⁷⁵⁴ thou shalt be²⁰⁷¹ his⁸⁴⁶ witness³¹⁴⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ men⁴⁴⁴ of what³⁷³⁹ thou hast seen³⁷⁰⁸ and²⁵³² heard.¹⁹¹

16 And²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ why⁵¹⁰¹ tarriest³¹⁹⁵ thou? arise,⁴⁵⁰ and be baptized,⁹⁰⁷ and²⁵³² wash away⁶²⁸ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ sins,²⁶⁶ calling on¹⁹⁴¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶²

17 And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ that, when I³⁴²⁷ was come again⁵²⁹⁰ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ even²⁵³² while I³⁴⁵⁰ prayed⁴³³⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ I³¹⁶⁵ was¹⁰⁹⁶ in¹⁷²² a trance;¹⁶¹¹

18 And²⁵³² saw¹⁴⁹² him⁸⁴⁶ saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto me,³⁴²⁷ Make haste,⁴⁶⁹² and²⁵³² get¹⁸³¹ thee quickly¹⁷²² ⁵⁰³⁴ out of¹⁵³⁷ Jerusalem:²⁴¹⁹ for¹³⁶⁰ they will not³⁷⁵⁶ receive³⁸⁵⁸ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ testimony³¹⁴¹ concerning⁴⁰¹² me.¹⁷⁰⁰

19 And I²⁵⁰⁴ said,²⁰³⁶ Lord,²⁹⁶² they⁸⁴⁶ know¹⁹⁸⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ I¹⁴⁷³ imprisoned²²⁵² ⁵⁴³⁹ and²⁵³² beat¹¹⁹⁴ in every synagogue²⁵⁹⁶ ⁴⁸⁶⁴ them that believed⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ thee:⁴⁵⁷¹

20 And²⁵³² when³⁷⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ blood¹²⁹ of thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ martyr³¹⁴⁴ Stephen⁴⁷³⁶ was shed,¹⁶³² I⁸⁴⁸ also²⁵³² was²²⁵² standing by,²¹⁸⁶ and²⁵³² consenting⁴⁹⁰⁹ unto his⁸⁴⁸ death,³³⁶ and²⁵³² kept⁵⁴⁴² the³⁵⁸⁸ raiment²⁴⁴⁰ of them that slew³³⁷ him.⁸⁴⁶

21 And²⁵³² he said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ me,³¹⁶⁵ Depart:⁴¹⁹⁸ for³⁷⁵⁴ I¹⁴⁷³ will send¹⁸²¹ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ far hence³¹¹² unto¹⁵¹⁹ the Gentiles.¹⁴⁸⁴

22 And¹¹⁶¹ they gave him audience¹⁹¹ ⁸⁴⁶ unto⁸⁹¹ this⁵¹²⁷ word,³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² then lifted up¹⁸⁶⁹ their⁸⁴⁸ voices,⁵⁴⁵⁶ and said,³⁰⁰⁴ Away¹⁴² with such⁵¹⁰⁸ a fellow from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth:¹⁰⁹³ for¹⁰⁶³ it is not fit²⁵²⁰ ³⁷⁵⁶ that he⁸⁴⁶ should live.²¹⁹⁸

23 And¹¹⁶¹ as they⁸⁴⁶ cried out,²⁹⁰⁵ and²⁵³² cast off⁴⁴⁹⁵ their clothes,²⁴⁴⁰ and²⁵³² threw⁹⁰⁶ dust²⁸⁶⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ air,¹⁰⁹

24 The³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ commanded²⁷⁵³ him⁸⁴⁶ to be brought⁷¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ castle,³⁹²⁵ and bade²⁰³⁶ that he⁸⁴⁶ should be examined⁴²⁶ by scourging;³¹⁴⁸ that²⁴⁴³ he might know¹⁹²¹ wherefore¹²²³ ³⁷³⁹ ¹⁵⁶ they cried so against²⁰¹⁹ ³⁷⁷⁹ him.⁸⁴⁶

25 And¹¹⁶¹ as⁵⁶¹³ they bound⁴³⁸⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ with thongs,²⁴³⁸ Paul³⁹⁷² said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ the centurion¹⁵⁴³ that stood by,²⁴⁷⁶ ¹⁴⁸⁷ Is it lawful¹⁸³² for you⁵²¹³ to scourge³¹⁴⁷ a man⁴⁴⁴ that is a Roman,⁴⁵¹⁴ and²⁵³² uncondemned?¹⁷⁸

26 When¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ centurion¹⁵⁴³ heard¹⁹¹ that, he went⁴³³⁴ and told⁵¹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain,⁵⁵⁰⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Take heed³⁷⁰⁸ what⁵¹⁰¹ thou³¹⁹⁵ doest:⁴¹⁶⁰ for¹⁰⁶³ this³⁷⁷⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ is²⁰⁷⁶ a Roman.⁴⁵¹⁴

27 Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ came,⁴³³⁴ and said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Tell³⁰⁰⁴ me,³⁴²⁷ ¹⁴⁸⁷ art¹⁴⁸⁸ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ a Roman?⁴⁵¹⁴ ¹¹⁶¹ He³⁵⁸⁸ said,⁵³⁴⁶ Yea.³⁴⁸³

28 And⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ answered,⁶¹¹ With a great⁴¹⁸³ sum²⁷⁷⁴ obtained²⁹³² I¹⁴⁷³ this⁵⁰²⁶ freedom.⁴¹⁷⁴ And¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² said,⁵³⁴⁶ But¹¹⁶¹ I¹⁴⁷³ was²⁵³² free born.¹⁰⁸⁰

29 Then³⁷⁶⁷ straightway²¹¹² they departed⁸⁶⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ which should³¹⁹⁵ have examined⁴²⁶ him:⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ also¹¹⁶¹ was afraid,⁵³⁹⁹ after he knew¹⁹²¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ he was²⁰⁷⁶ a Roman,⁴⁵¹⁴ and²⁵³² because³⁷⁵⁴ he had²²⁵⁸ bound¹²¹⁰ him.⁸⁴⁶

30 On¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow,¹⁸⁸⁷ because he would¹⁰¹⁴ have known¹⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ certainty⁸⁰⁴ wherefore⁵¹⁰¹ he was accused²⁷²³ of³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ he loosed³⁰⁸⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ his bands,¹¹⁹⁹ and²⁵³² commanded²⁷⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests⁷⁴⁹ and²⁵³² all³⁶⁵⁰ their⁸⁴⁸ council⁴⁸⁹² to appear,²⁰⁶⁴ and²⁵³² brought Paul down,²⁶⁰⁹ ³⁹⁷² and set²⁴⁷⁶ him before¹⁵¹⁹ them.⁸⁴⁶

Acts 23: 1-35

1 And¹¹⁶¹ Paul,³⁹⁷² earnestly beholding⁸¹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸⁹² said,²⁰³⁶ Men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ have lived⁴¹⁷⁶ in all³⁹⁵⁶ good¹⁸ conscience⁴⁸⁹³ before God²³¹⁶ unto⁸⁹¹ this⁵⁰²⁶ day.²²⁵⁰

2 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest⁷⁴⁹ Ananias³⁶⁷ commanded²⁰⁰⁴ them that stood by³⁹³⁶ him⁸⁴⁶ to smite⁵¹⁸⁰ him⁸⁴⁸ on the³⁵⁸⁸ mouth.⁴⁷⁵⁰

3 Then⁵¹¹⁹ said²⁰³⁶ Paul³⁹⁷² unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ God²³¹⁶ shall³¹⁹⁵ smite⁵¹⁸⁰ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ thou whited²⁸⁶⁷ wall:⁵¹⁰⁹ for²⁵³² sittest²⁵²¹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ to judge²⁹¹⁹ me³¹⁶⁵ after²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ law,³⁵⁵¹ and²⁵³² commandest²⁷⁵³ me³¹⁶⁵ to be smitten⁵¹⁸⁰ contrary to the law?³⁸⁹¹

4 And¹¹⁶¹ they that stood by³⁹³⁶ said,²⁰³⁶ Revilest³⁰⁵⁸ thou God's²³¹⁶ high priest?⁷⁴⁹

5 Then⁵⁰³⁷ said⁵³⁴⁶ Paul,³⁹⁷² I wist¹⁴⁹² not,³⁷⁵⁶ brethren,⁸⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ he was²⁰⁷⁶ the high priest:⁷⁴⁹ for¹⁰⁶³ it is written,¹¹²⁵ Thou shalt not³⁷⁵⁶ speak²⁰⁴⁶ evil²⁵⁶⁰ of the ruler⁷⁵⁸ of thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ people.²⁹⁹²

6 But¹¹⁶¹ when Paul³⁹⁷² perceived¹⁰⁹⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ one¹⁵²⁰ part³³¹³ were²⁰⁷⁶ Sadducees,⁴⁵²³ and¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ other²⁰⁸⁷ Pharisees,⁵³³⁰ he cried out²⁸⁹⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸⁹² Men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ a Pharisee,⁵³³⁰ the son⁵²⁰⁷ of a Pharisee:⁵³³⁰ of⁴⁰¹² the hope¹⁶⁸⁰ and²⁵³² resurrection³⁸⁶ of the dead³⁴⁹⁸ I¹⁴⁷³ am called in question.²⁹¹⁹

7 And¹¹⁶¹ when he⁸⁴⁶ had so⁵¹²⁴ said,²⁹⁸⁰ there arose¹⁰⁹⁶ a dissension⁴⁷¹⁴ between the³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisees⁵³³⁰ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ Sadducees:⁴⁵²³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude⁴¹²⁸ was divided.⁴⁹⁷⁷

8 For¹⁰⁶³ the³³⁰³ Sadducees⁴⁵²³ say³⁰⁰⁴ that there is¹⁵¹¹ no³³⁶¹ resurrection,³⁸⁶ neither³³⁶⁶ angel,³² nor³³⁸³ spirit:⁴¹⁵¹ but¹¹⁶¹ the Pharisees⁵³³⁰ confess³⁶⁷⁰ both.²⁹⁷

9 And¹¹⁶¹ there arose¹⁰⁹⁶ a great³¹⁷³ cry:²⁹⁰⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ scribes¹¹²² that were of the³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisees'⁵³³⁰ part³³¹³ arose,⁴⁵⁰ and strove,¹²⁶⁴ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ We find²¹⁴⁷ no³⁷⁶² evil²⁵⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² this⁵¹²⁹ man:⁴⁴⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ a spirit⁴¹⁵¹ or²²²⁸ an angel³² hath spoken²⁹⁸⁰ to him,⁸⁴⁶ let us not³³⁶¹ fight against God.²³¹³

10 And¹¹⁶¹ when there arose¹⁰⁹⁶ a great⁴¹⁸³ dissension,⁴⁷¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain,⁵⁵⁰⁶ fearing²¹²⁵ lest³³⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² should have been pulled in pieces¹²⁸⁸ of⁵²⁵⁹ them,⁸⁴⁶ commanded²⁷⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers⁴⁷⁵³ to go down,²⁵⁹⁷ and to take him by force⁷²⁶ ⁸⁴⁶ from¹⁵³⁷ among³³¹⁹ them,⁸⁴⁸ and⁵⁰³⁷ to bring⁷¹ him into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ castle.³⁹²⁵

11 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ night³⁵⁷¹ following¹⁹⁶⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² stood by²¹⁸⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶ and said,²⁰³⁶ Be of good cheer,²²⁹³ Paul:³⁹⁷² for¹⁰⁶³ as⁵⁶¹³ thou hast testified¹²⁶³ of⁴⁰¹² me¹⁷⁰⁰ in¹⁷²² Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ so³⁷⁷⁹ must¹¹⁶³ thou⁴⁵⁷¹ bear witness³¹⁴⁰ also²⁵³² at¹⁵¹⁹ Rome.⁴⁵¹⁶

12 And¹¹⁶¹ when it was¹⁰⁹⁶ day,²²⁵⁰ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ banded together,⁴¹⁶⁰ ⁴⁹⁶³ and bound themselves under a curse,³³² ¹⁴³⁸ saying³⁰⁰⁴ that they would neither³³⁸³ eat⁵³¹⁵ nor³³⁸³ drink⁴⁰⁹⁵ till²¹⁹³ ³⁷⁵⁷ they had killed⁶¹⁵ Paul.³⁹⁷²

13 And¹¹⁶¹ they were²²⁵⁸ more⁴¹¹⁹ than forty⁵⁰⁶² which had made⁴¹⁶⁰ this⁵⁰²⁶ conspiracy.⁴⁹⁴⁵

14 And they³⁷⁴⁸ came⁴³³⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests⁷⁴⁹ and²⁵³² elders,⁴²⁴⁵ and said,²⁰³⁶ We have bound ourselves under a great curse,³³² ¹⁴³⁸ ³³¹ that we will eat¹⁰⁸⁹ nothing³³⁶⁷ until²¹⁹³ ³⁷⁵⁷ we have slain⁶¹⁵ Paul.³⁹⁷²

15 Now³⁵⁶⁸ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ ye⁵²¹⁰ with⁴⁸⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ council⁴⁸⁹² signify¹⁷¹⁸ to the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ that³⁷⁰⁴ he bring him down²⁶⁰⁹ ⁸⁴⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ tomorrow,⁸³⁹ as though⁵⁶¹³ ye would³¹⁹⁵ inquire¹²³¹ something more perfectly¹⁹⁷ concerning⁴⁰¹² him:⁸⁴⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ we,²²⁴⁹ or ever⁴²⁵³ he⁸⁴⁶ come near,¹⁴⁴⁸ are²⁰⁷⁰ ready²⁰⁹² to kill³³⁷ him.⁸⁴⁶

16 And¹¹⁶¹ when Paul's³⁹⁷² sister's⁷⁹ son⁵²⁰⁷ heard¹⁹¹ of their lying in wait,¹⁷⁴⁹ he went³⁸⁵⁴ and²⁵³² entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ castle,³⁹²⁵ and told⁵¹⁸ Paul.³⁹⁷²

17 Then¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² called one of the centurions unto⁴³⁴¹ ¹⁵²⁰ ³⁵⁸⁸ ¹⁵⁴³ him, and said,⁵³⁴⁶ Bring⁵²⁰ this⁵¹²⁶ young man³⁴⁹⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain:⁵⁵⁰⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ he hath²¹⁹² a certain thing⁵¹⁰⁰ to tell⁵¹⁸ him.⁸⁴⁶

18 So³⁷⁶⁷ he³⁵⁸⁸ ³³⁰³ took³⁸⁸⁰ him,⁸⁴⁶ and brought⁷¹ him to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain,⁵⁵⁰⁶ and²⁵³² said,⁵³⁴⁶ Paul³⁹⁷² the³⁵⁸⁸ prisoner¹¹⁹⁸ called me unto⁴³⁴¹ ³¹⁶⁵ him, and prayed²⁰⁶⁵ me to bring⁷¹ this⁵¹²⁶ young man³⁴⁹⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ who hath²¹⁹² something⁵¹⁰⁰ to say²⁹⁸⁰ unto thee.⁴⁶⁷¹

19 Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ took¹⁹⁴⁹ him⁸⁴⁸ by the³⁵⁸⁸ hand,⁵⁴⁹⁵ and²⁵³² went with him aside⁴⁰² privately,²⁵⁹⁶ ²³⁹⁸ and asked⁴⁴⁴¹ him, What⁵¹⁰¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ that³⁷³⁹ thou hast²¹⁹² to tell⁵¹⁸ me?³⁴²⁷

20 And¹¹⁶¹ he said,²⁰³⁶ The³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ have agreed⁴⁹³⁴ to desire²⁰⁶⁵ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ that³⁷⁰⁴ thou wouldest bring down²⁶⁰⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² tomorrow⁸³⁹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸⁹² as though⁵⁶¹³ they would³¹⁹⁵ inquire⁴⁴⁴¹ somewhat⁵¹⁰⁰ of⁴⁰¹² him⁸⁴⁶ more perfectly.¹⁹⁷

21 But³⁷⁶⁷ do not³³⁶¹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ yield³⁹⁸² unto them:⁸⁴⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ there lie in wait¹⁷⁴⁸ for him⁸⁴⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ more⁴¹¹⁹ than forty⁵⁰⁶² men,⁴³⁵ which³⁷⁴⁸ have bound themselves with an oath,³³² ¹⁴³⁸ that they will neither³³⁸³ eat⁵³¹⁵ nor³³⁸³ drink⁴⁰⁹⁵ till²¹⁹³ ³⁷⁵⁷ they have killed³³⁷ him:⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ are¹⁵²⁶ they ready,²⁰⁹² looking for⁴³²⁷ a promise¹⁸⁶⁰ from⁵⁷⁵ thee.⁴⁶⁷⁵

22 So³⁷⁶⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ then³³⁰³ let the young man depart,⁶³⁰ ³⁵⁸⁸ ³⁴⁹⁴ and charged³⁸⁵³ him, See thou tell¹⁵⁸³ no man³³⁶⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ thou hast showed¹⁷¹⁸ these things⁵⁰²³ to⁴³¹⁴ me.³¹⁶⁵

23 And²⁵³² he called unto⁴³⁴¹ him two¹⁴¹⁷ centurions,¹⁵⁴³ saying,²⁰³⁶ Make ready²⁰⁹⁰ two hundred¹²⁵⁰ soldiers⁴⁷⁵⁷ to³⁷⁰⁴ go⁴¹⁹⁸ to²¹⁹³ Caesarea,²⁵⁴² and²⁵³² horsemen²⁴⁶⁰ threescore and ten,¹⁴⁴⁰ and²⁵³² spearmen¹¹⁸⁷ two hundred,¹²⁵⁰ at⁵⁷⁵ the third⁵¹⁵⁴ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ night;³⁵⁷¹

24 And⁵⁰³⁷ provide³⁹³⁶ them beasts,²⁹³⁴ that²⁴⁴³ they may set Paul on,¹⁹¹³ ³⁹⁷² and bring him safe¹²⁹⁵ unto⁴³¹⁴ Felix⁵³⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ governor.²²³²

25 And he wrote¹¹²⁵ a letter¹⁹⁹² after⁴⁰²³ this⁵¹²⁶ manner:⁵¹⁷⁹

26 Claudius²⁸⁰⁴ Lysias³⁰⁷⁹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ most excellent²⁹⁰³ governor²²³² Felix⁵³⁴⁴ sendeth greeting.⁵⁴⁶³

27 This⁵¹²⁶ man⁴³⁵ was taken⁴⁸¹⁵ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² should³¹⁹⁵ have been killed³³⁷ of⁵²⁵⁹ them:⁸⁴⁶ then came²¹⁸⁶ I with⁴⁸⁶² an army,⁴⁷⁵³ and rescued¹⁸⁰⁷ him,⁸⁴⁶ having understood³¹²⁹ that³⁷⁵⁴ he was²⁰⁷⁶ a Roman.⁴⁵¹⁴

28 And¹¹⁶¹ when I would¹⁰¹⁴ have known¹⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ cause¹⁵⁶ wherefore¹²²³ ³⁷³⁹ they accused¹⁴⁵⁸ him,⁸⁴⁶ I brought him forth²⁶⁰⁹ ⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ their⁸⁴⁸ council:⁴⁸⁹²

29 Whom³⁷³⁹ I perceived²¹⁴⁷ to be accused¹⁴⁵⁸ of⁴⁰¹² questions²²¹³ of their⁸⁴⁸ law,³⁵⁵¹ but¹¹⁶¹ to have²¹⁹² nothing³³⁶⁷ laid to his charge¹⁴⁶² worthy⁵¹⁴ of death²²⁸⁸ or²²²⁸ of bonds.¹¹⁹⁹

30 And¹¹⁶¹ when it was told³³⁷⁷ me³⁴²⁷ how that⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ laid wait¹⁹¹⁷ ³¹⁹⁵ ¹⁵¹⁰ for¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ man,⁴³⁵ I sent³⁹⁹² straightway¹⁸²⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ and gave commandment³⁸⁵³ to his accusers²⁷²⁵ also²⁵³² to say³⁰⁰⁴ before¹⁹⁰⁹ thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ what³⁵⁸⁸ they had against⁴³¹⁴ him.⁸⁴⁶ Farewell.⁴⁵¹⁷

31 Then³⁷⁶⁷ ³³⁰³ the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers,⁴⁷⁵⁷ as²⁵⁹⁶ it was commanded¹²⁹⁹ them,⁸⁴⁶ took³⁵³ Paul,³⁹⁷² and brought⁷¹ him by¹²²³ night³⁵⁷¹ to¹⁵¹⁹ Antipatris.⁴⁹⁴

32 On¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow¹⁸⁸⁷ they left¹⁴³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ horsemen²⁴⁶⁰ to go⁴¹⁹⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² him,⁸⁴⁶ and returned⁵²⁹⁰ to¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ castle:³⁹²⁵

33 Who,³⁷⁴⁸ when they came¹⁵²⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea,²⁵⁴² and²⁵³² delivered³²⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ epistle¹⁹⁹² to the³⁵⁸⁸ governor,²²³² presented³⁹³⁶ Paul³⁹⁷² also²⁵³² before him.⁸⁴⁶

34 And¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ governor²²³² had read³¹⁴ the letter, he²⁵³² asked¹⁹⁰⁵ of¹⁵³⁷ what⁴¹⁶⁹ province¹⁸⁸⁵ he was.²⁰⁷⁶ And²⁵³² when he understood⁴⁴⁴¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ he was of⁵⁷⁵ Cilicia;²⁷⁹¹

35 I will hear¹²⁵¹ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ said⁵³⁴⁶ he, when³⁷⁵² thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ accusers²⁷²⁵ are also²⁵³² come.³⁸⁵⁴ And⁵⁰³⁷ he commanded²⁷⁵³ him⁸⁴⁶ to be kept⁵⁴⁴² in¹⁷²² Herod's²²⁶⁴ judgment hall.⁴²³²

Acts 24: 1-27

1 And¹¹⁶¹ after³³²⁶ five⁴⁰⁰² days²²⁵⁰ Ananias³⁶⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest⁷⁴⁹ descended²⁵⁹⁷ with³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ elders,⁴²⁴⁵ and²⁵³² with a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ orator⁴⁴⁸⁹ named Tertullus,⁵⁰⁶¹ who³⁷⁴⁸ informed¹⁷¹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ governor²²³² against²⁵⁹⁶ Paul.³⁹⁷²

2 And¹¹⁶¹ when he⁸⁴⁶ was called forth,²⁵⁶⁴ Tertullus⁵⁰⁶¹ began⁷⁵⁶ to accuse²⁷²³ him, saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Seeing that by¹²²³ thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ we enjoy⁵¹⁷⁷ great⁴¹⁸³ quietness,¹⁵¹⁵ and²⁵³² that very worthy deeds²⁷³⁵ are done¹⁰⁹⁶ unto this⁵¹²⁹ nation¹⁴⁸⁴ by¹²²³ thy⁴⁶⁷⁴ providence,⁴³⁰⁷

3 We accept⁵⁸⁸ it⁵⁰³⁷ always,³⁸³⁹ and²⁵³² in all places,³⁸³⁷ most noble²⁹⁰³ Felix,⁵³⁴⁴ with³³²⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ thankfulness.²¹⁶⁹

4 Notwithstanding,¹¹⁶¹ that²⁴⁴³ I be not further tedious¹⁴⁶⁵ ³³⁶¹ ¹⁹⁰⁹ ⁴¹¹⁹ unto thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ I pray³⁸⁷⁰ thee that thou⁴⁵⁷¹ wouldest hear¹⁹¹ us²²⁵⁷ of thy⁴⁶⁷⁴ clemency¹⁹³² a few words.⁴⁹³⁵

5 For¹⁰⁶³ we have found²¹⁴⁷ this⁵¹²⁶ man⁴³⁵ a pestilent³⁰⁶¹ fellow, and²⁵³² a mover²⁷⁹⁵ of sedition⁴⁷¹⁴ among all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ throughout²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ world,³⁶²⁵ and⁵⁰³⁷ a ringleader⁴⁴¹⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ sect¹³⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Nazarenes:³⁴⁸⁰

6 Who³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² hath gone about³⁹⁸⁵ to profane⁹⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple:²⁴¹¹ whom³⁷³⁹ we took,²⁹⁰² and²⁵³² would²³⁰⁹ have judged²⁹¹⁹ according²⁵⁹⁶ to our²²⁵¹ law.³⁵⁵¹

7 But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ Lysias³⁰⁷⁹ came³⁹²⁸ upon us, and with³³²⁶ great⁴¹⁸³ violence⁹⁷⁰ took him away⁵²⁰ out of¹⁵³⁷ our²²⁵⁷ hands,⁵⁴⁹⁵

8 Commanding²⁷⁵³ his⁸⁴⁸ accusers²⁷²⁵ to come²⁰⁶⁴ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ thee:⁴⁵⁷¹ by examining³⁵⁰ of³⁸⁴⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ thyself⁸⁴⁶ mayest¹⁴¹⁰ take knowledge¹⁹²¹ of⁴⁰¹² all³⁹⁵⁶ these things,⁵¹³⁰ whereof³⁷³⁹ we²²⁴⁹ accuse²⁷²³ him.⁸⁴⁶

9 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ also²⁵³² assented,⁴⁹³⁴ saying⁵³³⁵ that these things⁵⁰²³ were²¹⁹² so.³⁷⁷⁹

10 Then¹¹⁶¹ Paul,³⁹⁷² after that the³⁵⁸⁸ governor²²³² had beckoned³⁵⁰⁶ unto him⁸⁴⁶ to speak,³⁰⁰⁴ answered,⁶¹¹ Forasmuch as I know¹⁹⁸⁷ that thou⁴⁵⁷¹ hast been⁵⁶⁰⁷ of¹⁵³⁷ many⁴¹⁸³ years²⁰⁹⁴ a judge²⁹²³ unto this⁵¹²⁹ nation,¹⁴⁸⁴ I do the more cheerfully²¹¹⁵ answer⁶²⁶ for⁴⁰¹² myself:¹⁶⁸³

11 Because that thou⁴⁶⁷⁵ mayest¹⁴¹⁰ understand,¹⁰⁹⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ there are¹⁵²⁶ ³⁴²⁷ yet but³⁷⁵⁶ ⁴¹¹⁹ ²²²⁸ twelve¹¹⁷⁷ days²²⁵⁰ since⁵⁷⁵ ³⁷³⁹ I went up³⁰⁵ to¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ for to worship.⁴³⁵²

12 And²⁵³² they neither³⁷⁷⁷ found²¹⁴⁷ me³¹⁶⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ disputing¹²⁵⁶ with⁴³¹⁴ any man,⁵¹⁰⁰ neither²²²⁸ raising up⁴¹⁶⁰ ¹⁹⁹⁹ the people,³⁷⁹³ neither³⁷⁷⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogues,⁴⁸⁶⁴ nor³⁷⁷⁷ in²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ city:⁴¹⁷²

13 Neither³⁷⁷⁷ can¹⁴¹⁰ they prove³⁹³⁶ the things whereof⁴⁰¹² ³⁷³⁹ they now³⁵⁶⁸ accuse²⁷²³ me.³⁴⁵⁰

14 But¹¹⁶¹ this⁵¹²⁴ I confess³⁶⁷⁰ unto thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ after²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ which³⁷³⁹ they call³⁰⁰⁴ heresy,¹³⁹ so³⁷⁷⁹ worship³⁰⁰⁰ I the God²³¹⁶ of my fathers,³⁹⁷¹ believing⁴¹⁰⁰ all things³⁹⁵⁶ which are written¹¹²⁵ in²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ and²⁵³² in the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets:⁴³⁹⁶

15 And have²¹⁹² hope¹⁶⁸⁰ toward¹⁵¹⁹ God,²³¹⁶ which³⁷³⁹ they³⁷⁷⁸ themselves⁸⁴⁶ also²⁵³² allow,⁴³²⁷ that there shall³¹⁹⁵ be¹⁵¹⁰ a resurrection³⁸⁶ of the dead,³⁴⁹⁸ both⁵⁰³⁷ of the just¹³⁴² and²⁵³² unjust.⁹⁴

16 And¹¹⁶¹ herein¹⁷²² ⁵¹²⁹ do I exercise⁷⁷⁸ myself,⁸⁴⁶ to have²¹⁹² always¹²⁷⁵ a conscience⁴⁸⁹³ void of offense⁶⁷⁷ toward⁴³¹⁴ God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² toward men.⁴⁴⁴

17 Now¹¹⁶¹ after¹²²³ many⁴¹¹⁹ years²⁰⁹⁴ I came³⁸⁵⁴ to bring⁴¹⁶⁰ alms¹⁶⁵⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ nation,¹⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² offerings.⁴³⁷⁶

18 Whereupon¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ ¹¹⁶¹ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ Jews²⁴⁵³ from⁵⁷⁵ Asia⁷⁷³ found²¹⁴⁷ me³¹⁶⁵ purified⁴⁸ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ neither³⁷⁵⁶ with³³²⁶ multitude,³⁷⁹³ nor³⁷⁶¹ with³³²⁶ tumult.²³⁵¹

19 Who³⁷³⁹ ought¹¹⁶³ to have been here³⁹¹⁸ before¹⁹⁰⁹ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ and²⁵³² object,²⁷²³ if they had aught¹⁵³⁶ ²¹⁹² against⁴³¹⁴ me.³¹⁶⁵

20 Or²²²⁸ else let these³⁷⁷⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ here say,²⁰³⁶ if they have found any¹⁵³⁶ ²¹⁴⁷ evil doing⁹² in¹⁷²² me,¹⁶⁹⁸ while I³⁴⁵⁰ stood²⁴⁷⁶ before¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸⁹²

21 Except²²²⁸ it be for⁴⁰¹² this⁵⁰²⁶ one³³⁹¹ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ that³⁷³⁹ I cried²⁸⁹⁶ standing²⁴⁷⁶ among¹⁷²² them,⁸⁴⁶ ³⁷⁵⁴ Touching⁴⁰¹² the resurrection³⁸⁶ of the dead³⁴⁹⁸ I¹⁴⁷³ am called in question²⁹¹⁹ by⁵²⁵⁹ you⁵²¹⁶ this day.⁴⁵⁹⁴

22 And¹¹⁶¹ when Felix⁵³⁴⁴ heard¹⁹¹ these things,⁵⁰²³ having more perfect knowledge¹⁴⁹² ¹⁹⁷ of⁴⁰¹² that way,³⁵⁹⁸ he deferred³⁰⁶ them,⁸⁴⁶ and said,²⁰³⁶ When³⁷⁵² Lysias³⁰⁷⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ shall come down,²⁵⁹⁷ I will know the uttmost¹²³¹ of your matter.²⁵⁹⁶ ⁵²⁰⁹

23 And⁵⁰³⁷ he commanded¹²⁹⁹ a centurion¹⁵⁴³ to keep⁵⁰⁸³ Paul,³⁹⁷² and⁵⁰³⁷ to let him have²¹⁹² liberty,⁴²⁵ and²⁵³² that he should forbid²⁹⁶⁷ none³³⁶⁷ of his⁸⁴⁶ acquaintance²³⁹⁸ to minister⁵²⁵⁶ or²²²⁸ come unto⁴³³⁴ him.⁸⁴⁶

24 And¹¹⁶¹ after³³²⁶ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ days,²²⁵⁰ when Felix⁵³⁴⁴ came³⁸⁵⁴ with⁴⁸⁶² his⁸⁴⁸ wife¹¹³⁵ Drusilla,¹⁴⁰⁹ which was⁵⁶⁰⁷ a Jewess,²⁴⁵³ he sent for³³⁴³ Paul,³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² heard¹⁹¹ him⁸⁴⁶ concerning⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ faith⁴¹⁰² in¹⁵¹⁹ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

25 And¹¹⁶¹ as he⁸⁴⁶ reasoned¹²⁵⁶ of⁴⁰¹² righteousness,¹³⁴³ ²⁵³² temperance,¹⁴⁶⁶ and²⁵³² judgment²⁹¹⁷ to come,¹⁵¹⁰ Felix⁵³⁴⁴ trembled,¹⁰⁹⁶ ¹⁷¹⁹ and answered,⁶¹¹ Go thy way⁴¹⁹⁸ for this time;³⁵⁶⁸ ²¹⁹² when¹¹⁶¹ I have³³³⁵ a convenient season,²⁵⁴⁰ I will call for³³³³ thee.⁴⁵⁷¹

26 He¹¹⁶¹ hoped¹⁶⁷⁹ also²⁵³² that³⁷⁵⁴ money⁵⁵³⁶ should have been given¹³²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ of⁵²⁵⁹ Paul,³⁹⁷² that³⁷⁰⁴ he might loose³⁰⁸⁹ him:⁸⁴⁶ wherefore¹³⁵² he²⁵³² sent for³³⁴³ him⁸⁴⁶ the more often,⁴⁴³⁷ and communed³⁶⁵⁶ with him.⁸⁴⁶

27 But¹¹⁶¹ after two years⁴¹³⁷ ¹³³³ Porcius⁴²⁰¹ Festus⁵³⁴⁷ came into Felix' room:²⁹⁸³ ¹²⁴⁰ ⁵³⁴⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ Felix,⁵³⁴⁴ willing²³⁰⁹ to show²⁶⁹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ a pleasure,⁵⁴⁸⁵ left²⁶⁴¹ Paul³⁹⁷² bound.¹²¹⁰

Acts 25: 1-27

1 Now³⁷⁶⁷ when Festus⁵³⁴⁷ was come into¹⁹¹⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ province,¹⁸⁸⁵ after³³²⁶ three⁵¹⁴⁰ days²²⁵⁰ he ascended³⁰⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ Caesarea²⁵⁴² to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem.²⁴¹⁴

2 Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest⁷⁴⁹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ chief⁴⁴¹³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ informed¹⁷¹⁸ him⁸⁴⁶ against²⁵⁹⁶ Paul,³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² besought³⁸⁷⁰ him,⁸⁴⁶

3 And desired¹⁵⁴ favor⁵⁴⁸⁵ against²⁵⁹⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶ that³⁷⁰⁴ he would send for³³⁴³ him⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ laying wait⁴¹⁶⁰ ¹⁷⁴⁷ in²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ to kill³³⁷ him.⁸⁴⁶

4 But³⁷⁶⁷ ³³⁰³ Festus⁵³⁴⁷ answered,⁶¹¹ that Paul³⁹⁷² should be kept⁵⁰⁸³ at¹⁷²² Caesarea,²⁵⁴² and¹¹⁶¹ that he himself¹⁴³⁸ would³¹⁹⁵ depart¹⁶⁰⁷ shortly¹⁷²² ⁵⁰³⁴ thither.

5 Let them³⁵⁸⁸ therefore,³⁷⁶⁷ said⁵³⁴⁶ he, which among¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ are able,¹⁴¹⁵ go down with⁴⁷⁸² me, and accuse²⁷²³ this⁵¹²⁹ man,⁴³⁵ if there be any¹⁵³⁶ ²⁰⁷⁶ wickedness⁸²⁴ in¹⁷²² him.⁸⁴⁶

6 And¹¹⁶¹ when he had tarried¹³⁰⁴ among¹⁷²² them⁸⁴⁶ more⁴¹¹⁹ than²²²⁸ ten¹¹⁷⁶ days,²²⁵⁰ he went down²⁵⁹⁷ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea;²⁵⁴² and the³⁵⁸⁸ next day¹⁸⁸⁷ sitting²⁵²³ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ judgment seat⁹⁶⁸ commanded²⁷⁵³ Paul³⁹⁷² to be brought.⁷¹

7 And¹¹⁶¹ when he⁸⁴⁶ was come,³⁸⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ which came down²⁵⁹⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁴ stood round about,⁴⁰²⁶ and laid⁵³⁴² many⁴¹⁸³ and²⁵³² grievous⁹²⁶ complaints¹⁵⁷ against²⁵⁹⁶ Paul,³⁹⁷² which³⁷³⁹ they could²⁴⁸⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ prove.⁵⁸⁴

8 While he⁸⁴⁶ answered for himself,⁶²⁶ Neither³⁷⁷⁷ against¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ neither³⁷⁷⁷ against¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ nor³⁷⁷⁷ yet against¹⁵¹⁹ Caesar,²⁵⁴¹ have I offended²⁶⁴ any thing⁵¹⁰⁰ at all.

9 But¹¹⁶¹ Festus,⁵³⁴⁷ willing²³⁰⁹ to do²⁶⁹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ a pleasure,⁵⁴⁸⁵ answered⁶¹¹ Paul,³⁹⁷² and said,²⁰³⁶ Wilt²³⁰⁹ thou go up³⁰⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ and there¹⁵⁶³ be judged²⁹¹⁹ of⁴⁰¹² these things⁵¹³⁰ before¹⁹⁰⁹ me?¹⁷⁰⁰

10 Then¹¹⁶¹ said²⁰³⁶ Paul,³⁹⁷² I stand¹⁵¹⁰ ²⁴⁷⁶ at¹⁹⁰⁹ Caesar's²⁵⁴¹ judgment seat,⁹⁶⁸ where³⁷⁵⁷ I³¹⁶⁵ ought¹¹⁶³ to be judged:²⁹¹⁹ to the Jews²⁴⁵³ have I done no wrong,⁹¹ ³⁷⁶² as⁵⁶¹³ ²⁵³² thou⁴⁷⁷¹ very well²⁵⁷³ knowest.¹⁹²¹

11 For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴³⁷ I³³⁰³ be an offender,⁹¹ or²⁵³² have committed⁴²³⁸ any thing⁵¹⁰⁰ worthy⁵¹⁴ of death,²²⁸⁸ I refuse³⁸⁶⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ to die:⁵⁹⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ there be²⁰⁷⁶ none³⁷⁶² of these things whereof³⁷³⁹ these³⁷⁷⁸ accuse²⁷²³ me,³⁴⁵⁰ no man³⁷⁶² may¹⁴¹⁰ deliver⁵⁴⁸³ me³¹⁶⁵ unto them.⁸⁴⁶ I appeal¹⁹⁴¹ unto Caesar.²⁵⁴¹

12 ¹¹⁶¹ Then⁵¹¹⁹ Festus,⁵³⁴⁷ when he had conferred⁴⁸¹⁴ with³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸²⁴ answered,⁶¹¹ Hast thou appealed¹⁹⁴¹ unto Caesar?²⁵⁴¹ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ Caesar²⁵⁴¹ shalt thou go.⁴¹⁹⁸

13 And¹¹⁶¹ after¹²³⁰ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ days²²⁵⁰ king⁹³⁵ Agrippa⁶⁷ and²⁵³² Bernice⁹⁵⁹ came²⁶⁵⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea²⁵⁴² to salute⁷⁸² Festus.⁵³⁴⁷

14 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ they had been¹³⁰⁴ there¹⁵⁶³ many⁴¹¹⁹ days,²²⁵⁰ Festus⁵³⁴⁷ declared³⁹⁴ Paul's³⁹⁷² cause²⁵⁹⁶ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ king,⁹³⁵ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ There is²⁰⁷⁶ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man⁴³⁵ left in bonds²⁶⁴¹ ¹¹⁹⁸ by⁵²⁵⁹ Felix:⁵³⁴⁴

15 About⁴⁰¹² whom,³⁷³⁹ when I³⁴⁵⁰ was¹⁰⁹⁶ at¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests⁷⁴⁹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ elders⁴²⁴⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ informed¹⁷¹⁸ me, desiring¹⁵⁴ to have judgment¹³⁴⁹ against²⁵⁹⁶ him.⁸⁴⁶

16 To⁴³¹⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ I answered,⁶¹¹ It³⁷⁵⁴ is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ the manner¹⁴⁸⁵ of the Romans⁴⁵¹⁴ to deliver⁵⁴⁸³ any⁵¹⁰⁰ man⁴⁴⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ die,⁶⁸⁴ before⁴²⁵⁰ that²²²⁸ he which is accused²⁷²³ have²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ accusers²⁷²⁵ face to face,²⁵⁹⁶ ⁴³⁸³ and⁵⁰³⁷ have license²⁹⁸³ ⁵¹¹⁷ to answer for himself⁶²⁷ concerning⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ crime laid against him.¹⁴⁶²

17 Therefore,³⁷⁶⁷ when they⁸⁴⁶ were come⁴⁹⁰⁵ hither,¹⁷⁵⁹ without any³³⁶⁷ delay³¹¹ on the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow¹⁸³⁶ I sat²⁵²³ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ judgment seat,⁹⁶⁸ and commanded²⁷⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ man⁴³⁵ to be brought forth.⁷¹

18 Against⁴⁰¹² whom³⁷³⁹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ accusers²⁷²⁵ stood up,²⁴⁷⁶ they brought²⁰¹⁸ none³⁷⁶² accusation¹⁵⁶ of such things³⁷³⁹ as I¹⁴⁷³ supposed:⁵²⁸²

19 But¹¹⁶¹ had²¹⁹² certain⁵¹⁰⁰ questions²²¹³ against⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ of⁴⁰¹² their own²³⁹⁸ superstition,¹¹⁷⁵ and²⁵³² of⁴⁰¹² one⁵¹⁰⁰ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ which was dead,²³⁴⁸ whom³⁷³⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² affirmed⁵³³⁵ to be alive.²¹⁹⁸

20 And¹¹⁶¹ because I¹⁴⁷³ doubted⁶³⁹ of¹⁵¹⁹ such manner of questions,²²¹⁴ ⁴⁰¹² ⁵¹²⁷ I asked³⁰⁰⁴ him whether¹⁴⁸⁷ he would¹⁰¹⁴ go⁴¹⁹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ and there²⁵⁴⁶ be judged²⁹¹⁹ of⁴⁰¹² these matters.⁵¹³⁰

21 But¹¹⁶¹ when Paul³⁹⁷² had appealed¹⁹⁴¹ to be⁸⁴⁶ reserved⁵⁰⁸³ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ hearing¹²³³ of Augustus,⁴⁵⁷⁵ I commanded²⁷⁵³ him⁸⁴⁶ to be kept⁵⁰⁸³ till²¹⁹³ ³⁷⁵⁷ I might send³⁹⁹² him⁸⁴⁶ to⁴³¹⁴ Caesar.²⁵⁴¹

22 Then¹¹⁶¹ Agrippa⁶⁷ said⁵³⁴⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ Festus,⁵³⁴⁷ I would¹⁰¹⁴ also²⁵³² hear¹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ myself.⁸⁴⁸ ¹¹⁶¹ Tomorrow,⁸³⁹ said⁵³⁴⁶ he,³⁵⁸⁸ thou shalt hear¹⁹¹ him.⁸⁴⁶

23 And³⁷⁶⁷ on the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow,¹⁸⁸⁷ when Agrippa⁶⁷ was come,²⁰⁶⁴ and²⁵³² Bernice,⁹⁵⁹ with³³²⁶ great⁴¹⁸³ pomp,⁵³²⁵ and²⁵³² was entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ place of hearing,²⁰¹ with⁴⁸⁶² ⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief captains,⁵⁵⁰⁶ and²⁵³² principal²⁵⁹⁶ ¹⁸⁵¹ men⁴³⁵ of⁵⁶⁰⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ city,⁴¹⁷² at²⁵³² Festus'⁵³⁴⁷ commandment²⁷⁵³ Paul³⁹⁷² was brought forth.⁷¹

24 And²⁵³² Festus⁵³⁴⁷ said,⁵³⁴⁶ King⁹³⁵ Agrippa,⁶⁷ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ men⁴³⁵ which are here present⁴⁸⁴⁰ with us,²²⁵⁴ ye see²³³⁴ this man,⁵¹²⁶ about⁴⁰¹² whom³⁷³⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude⁴¹²⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ have dealt¹⁷⁹³ with me,³⁴²⁷ both⁵⁰³⁷ at¹⁷²² Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ and²⁵³² also here,¹⁷⁵⁹ crying¹⁹¹⁶ that he⁸⁴⁶ ought¹¹⁶³ not³³⁶¹ to live²¹⁹⁸ any longer.³³⁷¹

25 But¹¹⁶¹ when I¹⁴⁷³ found²⁶³⁸ that he⁸⁴⁶ had committed⁴²³⁸ nothing³³⁶⁷ worthy⁵¹⁴ of death,²²⁸⁸ and¹¹⁶¹ that he⁵¹²⁷ himself⁸⁴⁸ hath²⁵³² appealed¹⁹⁴¹ to Augustus,⁴⁵⁷⁵ I have determined²⁹¹⁹ to send³⁹⁹² him.⁸⁴⁶

26 Of⁴⁰¹² whom³⁷³⁹ I have²¹⁹² no³⁷⁵⁶ certain thing⁸⁰⁴ ⁵¹⁰⁰ to write¹¹²⁵ unto my lord.²⁹⁶² Wherefore¹³⁵² I have brought him forth⁴²⁵⁴ ⁸⁴⁶ before¹⁹⁰⁹ you,⁵²¹⁶ and²⁵³² especially³¹²² before¹⁹⁰⁹ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ O king⁹³⁵ Agrippa,⁶⁷ that,³⁷⁰⁴ after examination³⁵¹ had,¹⁰⁹⁶ I might have²¹⁹² somewhat⁵¹⁰⁰ to write.¹¹²⁵

27 For¹⁰⁶³ it seemeth¹³⁸⁰ to me³⁴²⁷ unreasonable²⁴⁹ to send³⁹⁹² a prisoner,¹¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² not³³⁶¹ withal²⁵³² to signify⁴⁵⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ crimes¹⁵⁶ laid against²⁵⁹⁶ him.⁸⁴⁶

Acts 26: 1-32

1 Then¹¹⁶¹ Agrippa⁶⁷ said⁵³⁴⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ Paul,³⁹⁷² Thou⁴⁶⁷¹ art permitted²⁰¹⁰ to speak³⁰⁰⁴ for⁵²²⁸ thyself.⁴⁵⁷² Then⁵¹¹⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² stretched forth¹⁶¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ hand,⁵⁴⁹⁵ and answered for himself:⁶²⁶

2 I think²²³³ myself¹⁶⁸³ happy,³¹⁰⁷ king⁹³⁵ Agrippa,⁶⁷ because I shall³¹⁹⁵ answer for myself⁶²⁶ this day⁴⁵⁹⁴ before¹⁹⁰⁹ thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ touching⁴⁰¹² all³⁹⁵⁶ the things whereof³⁷³⁹ I am accused¹⁴⁵⁸ of⁵²⁵⁹ the Jews:²⁴⁵³

3 Especially³¹²² because I know¹⁴⁹² thee⁴⁵⁷¹ to be⁵⁶⁰⁷ expert¹¹⁰⁹ in all³⁹⁵⁶ customs¹⁴⁸⁵ and⁵⁰³⁷ ²⁵³² questions²²¹³ which are among²⁵⁹⁶ the Jews:²⁴⁵³ wherefore¹³⁵² I beseech¹¹⁸⁹ thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ to hear¹⁹¹ me³⁴⁵⁰ patiently.³¹¹⁶

4 My³⁴⁵⁰ manner of life⁹⁸¹ ³³⁰³ ³⁷⁶⁷ from¹⁵³⁷ my youth,³⁵⁰³ which was¹⁰⁹⁶ at⁵⁷⁵ the first⁷⁴⁶ among¹⁷²² mine own³⁴⁵⁰ nation¹⁴⁸⁴ at¹⁷²² Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ know²⁴⁶⁷ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews;²⁴⁵³

5 Which knew⁴²⁶⁷ me³¹⁶⁵ from the beginning,⁵⁰⁹ if¹⁴³⁷ they would²³⁰⁹ testify,³¹⁴⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ after²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ most straitest¹⁹⁶ sect¹³⁹ of our²²⁵¹ religion²³⁵⁶ I lived²¹⁹⁸ a Pharisee.⁵³³⁰

6 And²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ I stand²⁴⁷⁶ and am judged²⁹¹⁹ for¹⁹⁰⁹ the hope¹⁶⁸⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ made¹⁰⁹⁶ of⁵²⁵⁹ God²³¹⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ our fathers:³⁹⁶²

7 Unto¹⁵¹⁹ which³⁷³⁹ promise our²²⁵⁷ twelve tribes,¹⁴²⁹ instantly¹⁷²² ¹⁶¹⁶ serving³⁰⁰⁰ God day²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² night,³⁵⁷¹ hope¹⁶⁷⁹ to come.²⁶⁵⁸ For⁴⁰¹² which³⁷³⁹ hope's¹⁶⁸⁰ sake, king⁹³⁵ Agrippa,⁶⁷ I am accused¹⁴⁵⁸ of⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews.²⁴⁵³

8 Why⁵¹⁰¹ should it be thought²⁹¹⁹ a thing incredible⁵⁷¹ with³⁸⁴⁴ you,⁵²¹³ that¹⁴⁸⁷ God²³¹⁶ should raise¹⁴⁵³ the dead?³⁴⁹⁸

9 I¹⁴⁷³ verily³³⁰³ ³⁷⁶⁷ thought¹³⁸⁰ with myself,¹⁶⁸³ that I ought¹¹⁶³ to do⁴²³⁸ many things⁴¹⁸³ contrary¹⁷²⁷ to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ of Nazareth.³⁴⁸⁰

10 Which thing³⁷³⁹ I also²⁵³² did⁴¹⁶⁰ in¹⁷²² Jerusalem:²⁴¹⁴ and²⁵³² many⁴¹⁸³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ saints⁴⁰ did I¹⁴⁷³ shut up²⁶²³ in prison,⁵⁴³⁸ having received²⁹⁸³ authority¹⁸⁴⁹ from³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests;⁷⁴⁹ and⁵⁰³⁷ when they⁸⁴⁶ were put to death,³³⁷ I gave my voice against²⁷⁰² ⁵⁵⁸⁶ them.

11 And²⁵³² I punished⁵⁰⁹⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ oft⁴¹⁷⁸ in every²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁹⁵⁶ synagogue,⁴⁸⁶⁴ and compelled³¹⁵ them to blaspheme;⁹⁸⁷ and⁵⁰³⁷ being exceedingly mad against¹⁶⁹³ ⁴⁰⁵⁷ them,⁸⁴⁶ I persecuted¹³⁷⁷ them even²¹⁹³ ²⁵³² unto¹⁵¹⁹ strange¹⁸⁵⁴ cities.⁴¹⁷²

12 Whereupon¹⁷²² ³⁷³⁹ as²⁵³² I went⁴¹⁹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Damascus¹¹⁵⁴ with³³²⁶ authority¹⁸⁴⁹ and²⁵³² commission²⁰¹¹ from³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests,⁷⁴⁹

13 At midday,³³¹⁹ ²²⁵⁰ O king,⁹³⁵ I¹⁴⁹² saw in²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ way³⁵⁹⁸ a light⁵⁴⁵⁷ from heaven,³⁷⁷¹ above⁵²²⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ brightness²⁹⁸⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ sun,²²⁴⁶ shining round about⁴⁰³⁴ me³¹⁶⁵ and²⁵³² them which journeyed⁴¹⁹⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² me.¹⁶⁹⁸

14 And¹¹⁶¹ when we²²⁵⁷ were all³⁹⁵⁶ fallen²⁶⁶⁷ to¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth,¹⁰⁹³ I heard¹⁹¹ a voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ speaking²⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ me,³¹⁶⁵ and²⁵³² saying³⁰⁰⁴ in the³⁵⁸⁸ Hebrew¹⁴⁴⁶ tongue,¹²⁵⁸ Saul,⁴⁵⁴⁹ Saul,⁴⁵⁴⁹ why⁵¹⁰¹ persecutest¹³⁷⁷ thou me?³¹⁶⁵ it is hard⁴⁶⁴² for thee⁴⁶⁷¹ to kick²⁹⁷⁹ against⁴³¹⁴ the pricks.²⁷⁵⁹

15 And¹¹⁶¹ I¹⁴⁷³ said,²⁰³⁶ Who⁵¹⁰¹ art¹⁴⁸⁸ thou, Lord?²⁹⁶² And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ Jesus²⁴²⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ persecutest.¹³⁷⁷

16 But²³⁵ rise,⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² stand²⁴⁷⁶ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ feet:⁴²²⁸ for¹⁰⁶³ I have appeared³⁷⁰⁰ unto thee⁴⁶⁷¹ for¹⁵¹⁹ this⁵¹²⁴ purpose, to make⁴⁴⁰⁰ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ a minister⁵²⁵⁷ and²⁵³² a witness³¹⁴⁴ both⁵⁰³⁷ of these things which³⁷³⁹ thou hast seen,¹⁴⁹² and⁵⁰³⁷ of those things in the which³⁷³⁹ I will appear³⁷⁰⁰ unto thee;⁴⁶⁷¹

17 Delivering¹⁸⁰⁷ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ from¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² from the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ unto¹⁵¹⁹ whom³⁷³⁹ now³⁵⁶⁸ I send⁶⁴⁹ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹

18 To open⁴⁵⁵ their⁸⁴⁶ eyes,³⁷⁸⁸ and to turn¹⁹⁹⁴ them from⁵⁷⁵ darkness⁴⁶⁵⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ light,⁵⁴⁵⁷ and²⁵³² from the³⁵⁸⁸ power¹⁸⁴⁹ of Satan⁴⁵⁶⁷ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ God,²³¹⁶ that³⁵⁸⁸ they⁸⁴⁶ may receive²⁹⁸³ forgiveness⁸⁵⁹ of sins,²⁶⁶ and²⁵³² inheritance²⁸¹⁹ among¹⁷²² them³⁵⁸⁸ which are sanctified³⁷ by faith⁴¹⁰² that³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁵¹⁹ me.¹⁶⁹¹

19 Whereupon,³⁶⁰⁶ O king⁹³⁵ Agrippa,⁶⁷ I was¹⁰⁹⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ disobedient⁵⁴⁵ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ heavenly³⁷⁷⁰ vision:³⁷⁰¹

20 But²³⁵ showed⁵¹⁸ first⁴⁴¹² unto them³⁵⁸⁸ of¹⁷²² Damascus,¹¹⁵⁴ and²⁵³² at Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ throughout¹⁵¹⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ coasts⁵⁵⁶¹ of Judea,²⁴⁴⁹ and²⁵³² then to the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ that they should repent³³⁴⁰ and²⁵³² turn¹⁹⁹⁴ to¹⁹⁰⁹ God,²³¹⁶ and do⁴²³⁸ works²⁰⁴¹ meet⁵¹⁴ for repentance.³³⁴¹

21 For these causes¹⁷⁵² ⁵¹³⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ caught⁴⁸¹⁵ me³¹⁶⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ and went about³⁹⁸⁷ to kill¹³¹⁵ me.

22 Having therefore³⁷⁶⁷ obtained⁵¹⁷⁷ help¹⁹⁴⁷ of³⁸⁴⁴ God,²³¹⁶ I continue²⁴⁷⁶ unto⁸⁹¹ this⁵⁰²⁶ day,²²⁵⁰ witnessing³¹⁴⁰ both⁵⁰³⁷ to small³³⁹⁸ and²⁵³² great,³¹⁷³ saying³⁰⁰⁴ none³⁷⁶² other things¹⁶²² than those which³⁷³⁹ ⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets⁴³⁹⁶ and²⁵³² Moses³⁴⁷⁵ did say²⁹⁸⁰ should³¹⁹⁵ come:¹⁰⁹⁶

23 That¹⁴⁸⁷ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ should suffer,³⁸⁰⁵ and that¹⁴⁸⁷ he should be the first⁴⁴¹³ that should rise¹⁵³⁷ ³⁸⁶ from the dead,³⁴⁹⁸ and should³¹⁹⁵ show²⁶⁰⁵ light⁵⁴⁵⁷ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles.¹⁴⁸⁴

24 And¹¹⁶¹ as he⁸⁴⁶ thus⁵⁰²³ spake for himself,⁶²⁶ Festus⁵³⁴⁷ said⁵³⁴⁶ with a loud³¹⁷³ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ Paul,³⁹⁷² thou art beside thyself;³¹⁰⁵ much⁴¹⁸³ learning¹¹²¹ doth make⁴⁰⁶² thee⁴⁵⁷¹ mad.³¹³⁰

25 But¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said,⁵³⁴⁶ I am not mad,³¹⁰⁵ ³⁷⁵⁶ most noble²⁹⁰³ Festus;⁵³⁴⁷ but²³⁵ I speak forth⁶⁶⁹ the words⁴⁴⁸⁷ of truth²²⁵ and²⁵³² soberness.⁴⁹⁹⁷

26 For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ king⁹³⁵ knoweth¹⁹⁸⁷ of⁴⁰¹² these things,⁵¹³⁰ before⁴³¹⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² I speak²⁹⁸⁰ freely:³⁹⁵⁵ for¹⁰⁶³ I am persuaded³⁹⁸² that none³⁷⁵⁶ ⁵¹⁰⁰ of these things⁵¹³⁰ are hidden²⁹⁹⁰ from him;⁸⁴⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ this thing⁵¹²⁴ was²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ done⁴²³⁸ in¹⁷²² a corner.¹¹³⁷

27 King⁹³⁵ Agrippa,⁶⁷ believest⁴¹⁰⁰ thou the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets?⁴³⁹⁶ I know¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ thou believest.⁴¹⁰⁰

28 Then¹¹⁶¹ Agrippa⁶⁷ said⁵³⁴⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ Paul,³⁹⁷² Almost¹⁷²² ³⁶⁴¹ thou persuadest³⁹⁸² me³¹⁶⁵ to be¹⁰⁹⁶ a Christian.⁵⁵⁴⁶

29 And¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² said,²⁰³⁶ I would²¹⁷² ³⁰² to God,²³¹⁶ that not³⁷⁵⁶ only³⁴⁴⁰ thou,⁴⁵⁷¹ but²³⁵ also²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ that hear¹⁹¹ me³⁴⁵⁰ this day,⁴⁵⁹⁴ were¹⁰⁹⁶ both²⁵³² almost,¹⁷²² ³⁶⁴¹ and²⁵³² altogether¹⁷²² ⁴¹⁸³ such⁵¹⁰⁸ as³⁶⁹⁷ I²⁵⁰⁴ am,¹⁵¹⁰ except³⁹²⁴ these⁵¹³⁰ bonds.¹¹⁹⁹

30 And²⁵³² when he⁸⁴⁶ had thus⁵⁰²³ spoken,²⁰³⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ king⁹³⁵ rose up,⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ governor,²²³² and⁵⁰³⁷ Bernice,⁹⁵⁹ and²⁵³² they that sat with⁴⁷⁷⁵ them:⁸⁴⁶

31 And²⁵³² when they were gone aside,⁴⁰² they talked²⁹⁸⁰ between themselves,⁴³¹⁴ ²⁴⁰ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ This³⁷⁷⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ doeth⁴²³⁸ nothing³⁷⁶² worthy⁵¹⁴ of death²²⁸⁸ or²²²⁸ of bonds.¹¹⁹⁹

32 Then¹¹⁶¹ said⁵³⁴⁶ Agrippa⁶⁷ unto Festus,⁵³⁴⁷ This³⁷⁷⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ might¹⁴¹⁰ have been set at liberty,⁶³⁰ if¹⁴⁸⁷ he had not³³⁶¹ appealed¹⁹⁴¹ unto Caesar.²⁵⁴¹

Acts 27: 1-44

1 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ it was determined²⁹¹⁹ that we²²⁴⁸ should sail⁶³⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ Italy,²⁴⁸² they delivered³⁸⁶⁰ ⁵⁰³⁷ Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² certain⁵¹⁰⁰ other²⁰⁸⁷ prisoners¹²⁰² unto one named³⁶⁸⁶ Julius,²⁴⁵⁷ a centurion¹⁵⁴³ of Augustus'⁴⁵⁷⁵ band.⁴⁶⁸⁶

2 And¹¹⁶¹ entering into¹⁹¹⁰ a ship⁴¹⁴³ of Adramyttium,⁹⁸ we launched,³²¹ meaning³¹⁹⁵ to sail⁴¹²⁶ by the³⁵⁸⁸ coasts⁵¹¹⁷ of²⁵⁹⁶ Asia;⁷⁷³ one Aristarchus,⁷⁰⁸ a Macedonian³¹¹⁰ of Thessalonica,²³³¹ being⁵⁶⁰⁷ with⁴⁸⁶² us.²²⁵⁴

3 And⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ next²⁰⁸⁷ day we touched²⁶⁰⁹ at¹⁵¹⁹ Sidon.⁴⁶⁰⁵ And⁵⁰³⁷ Julius²⁴⁵⁷ courteously⁵³⁶⁴ entreated⁵⁵³⁰ Paul,³⁹⁷² and gave him liberty²⁰¹⁰ to go⁴¹⁹⁸ unto⁴³¹⁴ his friends⁵³⁸⁴ to refresh himself.⁵¹⁷⁷ ¹⁹⁵⁸

4 And when we had launched from thence,²⁵⁴⁷ ³²¹ we sailed under⁵²⁸⁴ Cyprus,²⁹⁵⁴ because the³⁵⁸⁸ winds⁴¹⁷ were¹⁵¹¹ contrary.¹⁷²⁷

5 And⁵⁰³⁷ when we had sailed over¹²⁷⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea³⁹⁸⁹ of²⁵⁹⁶ Cilicia²⁷⁹¹ and²⁵³² Pamphylia,³⁸²⁸ we came²⁷¹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Myra,³⁴⁶⁰ a city of Lycia.³⁰⁷³

6 And there²⁵⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ centurion¹⁵⁴³ found²¹⁴⁷ a ship⁴¹⁴³ of Alexandria²²² sailing⁴¹²⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ Italy;²⁴⁸² and he put¹⁶⁸⁸ us²²⁴⁸ therein.¹⁵¹⁹ ⁸⁴⁶

7 And¹¹⁶¹ when we had sailed slowly¹⁰²⁰ many²⁴²⁵ days,²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² scarce³⁴³³ were come¹⁰⁹⁶ over against²⁵⁹⁶ Cnidus,²⁸³⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ wind⁴¹⁷ not³³⁶¹ suffering⁴³³⁰ us,²²⁴⁸ we sailed under⁵²⁸⁴ Crete,²⁹¹⁴ over against²⁵⁹⁶ Salmone;⁴⁵³⁴

8 And,⁵⁰³⁷ hardly³⁴³³ passing³⁸⁸¹ it,⁸⁴⁶ came²⁰⁶⁴ unto¹⁵¹⁹ a⁵¹⁰⁰ place⁵¹¹⁷ which is called²⁵⁶⁴ The fair²⁵⁶⁸ havens; nigh¹⁴⁵¹ whereunto³⁷³⁹ was²²⁵⁸ the city⁴¹⁷² of Lasea.²⁹⁹⁶

9 Now¹¹⁶¹ when much²⁴²⁵ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ was spent,¹²³⁰ and²⁵³² when sailing⁴¹⁴⁴ was⁵⁶⁰⁷ now²²³⁵ dangerous,²⁰⁰⁰ because²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ fast³⁵²¹ was now already past,³⁹²⁸ ²²³⁵ Paul³⁹⁷² admonished³⁸⁶⁷ them,

10 And said³⁰⁰⁴ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Sirs,⁴³⁵ I perceive²³³⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ this voyage⁴¹⁴⁴ will³¹⁹⁵ be¹⁵¹⁰ with³³²⁶ hurt⁵¹⁹⁶ and²⁵³² much⁴¹⁸³ damage,²²⁰⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ only³⁴⁴⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ lading⁵⁴¹⁴ and²⁵³² ship,⁴¹⁴³ but²³⁵ also²⁵³² of our²²⁵⁷ lives.⁵⁵⁹⁰

11 Nevertheless¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ centurion¹⁵⁴³ believed³⁹⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ master²⁹⁴² and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ owner of the ship,³⁴⁹⁰ more³¹²³ than²²²⁸ those things which were spoken³⁰⁰⁴ by⁵²⁵⁹ Paul.³⁹⁷²

12 And¹¹⁶¹ because the³⁵⁸⁸ haven³⁰⁴⁰ was⁵²²⁵ not commodious⁴²⁸ to⁴³¹⁴ winter in,³⁹¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ more part⁴¹¹⁹ advised⁵⁰⁸⁷ ¹⁰¹² to depart³²¹ thence also,²⁵⁴⁷ if by any means¹⁵¹³ they might¹⁴¹⁰ attain²⁶⁵⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Phenice,⁵⁴⁰⁵ and there to winter;³⁹¹⁴ which is an haven³⁰⁴⁰ of Crete,²⁹¹⁴ and lieth⁹⁹¹ toward²⁵⁹⁶ the southwest³⁰⁴⁷ and²⁵³² northwest.⁵⁵⁶⁶

13 And¹¹⁶¹ when the south wind³⁵⁵⁸ blew softly,⁵²⁸⁵ supposing¹³⁸⁰ that they had obtained²⁹⁰² their purpose,⁴²⁸⁶ loosing¹⁴² ⁷⁸⁸ thence, they sailed close by³⁸⁸¹ Crete.²⁹¹⁴

14 But¹¹⁶¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ long⁴¹⁸³ after³³²⁶ there arose⁹⁰⁶ against²⁵⁹⁶ it⁸⁴⁶ a tempestuous⁵¹⁸⁹ wind,⁴¹⁷ called²⁵⁶⁴ Euroclydon.²¹⁴⁸

15 And¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ ship⁴¹⁴³ was caught,⁴⁸⁸⁴ and²⁵³² could¹⁴¹⁰ not³³⁶¹ bear up⁵⁰³ into the³⁵⁸⁸ wind,⁴¹⁷ we let her drive.¹⁹²⁹ ⁵³⁴²

16 And¹¹⁶¹ running under⁵²⁹⁵ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ island³⁵¹⁹ which is called²⁵⁶⁴ Clauda,²⁸⁰² we had much work²⁴⁸⁰ ³⁴³³ to come by¹⁰⁹⁶ ⁴⁰³¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ boat:⁴⁶²⁷

17 Which³⁷³⁹ when they had taken up,¹⁴² they used⁵⁵³⁰ helps,⁹⁹⁶ undergirding⁵²⁶⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship;⁴¹⁴³ and,⁵⁰³⁷ fearing⁵³⁹⁹ lest³³⁶¹ they should fall¹⁶⁰¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ quicksands,⁴⁹⁵⁰ struck sail,⁵⁴⁶⁵ ⁴⁶³² and so³⁷⁷⁹ were driven.⁵³⁴²

18 And¹¹⁶¹ we²²⁵⁷ being exceedingly⁴⁹⁷¹ tossed with a tempest,⁵⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ next¹⁸³⁶ day they lightened the ship;⁴¹⁶⁰ ¹⁵⁴⁶

19 And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ third⁵¹⁵⁴ day we cast out⁴⁴⁹⁶ with our own hands⁸⁴⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ tackling⁴⁶³¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ ship.⁴¹⁴³

20 And¹¹⁶¹ when neither³³⁸³ sun²²⁴⁶ nor³³⁸³ stars⁷⁹⁸ in¹⁹⁰⁹ many⁴¹¹⁹ days²²⁵⁰ appeared,²⁰¹⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ no³⁷⁵⁶ small³⁶⁴¹ tempest⁵⁴⁹⁴ lay on¹⁹⁴⁵ us, all³⁹⁵⁶ hope¹⁶⁸⁰ that we²²⁴⁸ should be saved⁴⁹⁸² was then³⁰⁶³ taken away.⁴⁰¹⁴

21 But¹¹⁶¹ after⁵²²⁵ long⁴¹⁸³ abstinence⁷⁷⁶ Paul³⁹⁷² stood forth²⁴⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of them,⁸⁴⁸ and said,²⁰³⁶ ⁵⁵⁹⁹ Sirs,⁴³⁵ ye should¹¹⁶³ have³³⁰³ hearkened³⁹⁸⁰ unto me,³⁴²⁷ and not³³⁶¹ have loosed³²¹ from⁵⁷⁵ Crete,²⁹¹⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ to have gained²⁷⁷⁰ this⁵⁰²⁶ harm⁵¹⁹⁶ and²⁵³² loss.²²⁰⁹

22 And²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁹ I exhort³⁸⁶⁷ you⁵²⁰⁹ to be of good cheer:²¹¹⁴ for¹⁰⁶³ there shall be²⁰⁷¹ no³⁷⁶² loss⁵⁸⁰ of any man's life⁵⁵⁹⁰ among¹⁵³⁷ you,⁵²¹⁶ but⁴¹³³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ ship.⁴¹⁴³

23 For¹⁰⁶³ there stood by³⁹³⁶ me³⁴²⁷ this⁵⁰²⁶ night³⁵⁷¹ the angel³² of God,²³¹⁶ whose³⁷³⁹ I am,¹⁵¹⁰ and²⁵³² whom³⁷³⁹ I serve,³⁰⁰⁰

24 Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Fear⁵³⁹⁹ not,³³⁶¹ Paul;³⁹⁷² thou⁴⁵⁷¹ must¹¹⁶³ be brought before³⁹³⁶ Caesar:²⁵⁴¹ and,²⁵³² lo,²⁴⁰⁰ God²³¹⁶ hath given⁵⁴⁸³ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ them that sail⁴¹²⁶ with³³²⁶ thee.⁴⁶⁷⁵

25 Wherefore,¹³⁵² sirs,⁴³⁵ be of good cheer:²¹¹⁴ for¹⁰⁶³ I believe⁴¹⁰⁰ God,²³¹⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ it³⁷⁷⁹ shall be²⁰⁷¹ even as²⁵⁹⁶ ³⁷³⁹ ⁵¹⁵⁸ it was told²⁹⁸⁰ me.³⁴²⁷

26 Howbeit¹¹⁶¹ we²²⁴⁸ must¹¹⁶³ be cast¹⁶⁰¹ upon¹⁵¹⁹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ island.³⁵²⁰

27 But¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ the fourteenth⁵⁰⁶⁵ night³⁵⁷¹ was come,¹⁰⁹⁶ as we²²⁵⁷ were driven up and down¹³⁰⁸ in¹⁷²² Adria,⁹⁹ about²⁵⁹⁶ midnight³³¹⁹ ³⁵⁷¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ shipmen³⁴⁹² deemed⁵²⁸² that they⁸⁴⁸ drew near⁴³¹⁷ to some⁵¹⁰⁰ country;⁵⁵⁶¹

28 And²⁵³² sounded,¹⁰⁰¹ and found²¹⁴⁷ it twenty¹⁵⁰¹ fathoms:³⁷¹² and¹¹⁶¹ when they had gone a little further,¹³³⁹ ¹⁰²⁴ they sounded¹⁰⁰¹ again,³⁸²⁵ and²⁵³² found²¹⁴⁷ it fifteen¹¹⁷⁸ fathoms.³⁷¹²

29 Then⁵⁰³⁷ fearing⁵³⁹⁹ lest³³⁸¹ we should have fallen¹⁶⁰¹ upon¹⁵¹⁹ rocks,⁵¹³⁸ ⁵¹¹⁷ they cast⁴⁴⁹⁶ four⁵⁰⁶⁴ anchors⁴⁵ out¹⁵³⁷ of the stern,⁴⁴⁰³ and wished²¹⁷² for the day.²²⁵⁰ ¹⁰⁹⁶

30 And¹¹⁶¹ as the³⁵⁸⁸ shipmen³⁴⁹² were about²²¹² to flee⁵³⁴³ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship,⁴¹⁴³ when²⁵³² they had let down⁵⁴⁶⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ boat⁴⁶²⁷ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea,²²⁸¹ under color⁴³⁹² as though⁵⁶¹³ they would³¹⁹⁵ have cast¹⁶¹⁴ anchors⁴⁵ out of¹⁵³⁷ the foreship,⁴⁴⁰⁸

31 Paul³⁹⁷² said²⁰³⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ centurion¹⁵⁴³ and²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers,⁴⁷⁵⁷ Except³³⁶² these³⁷⁷⁸ abide³³⁰⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ ship,⁴¹⁴³ ye⁵²¹⁰ cannot¹⁴¹⁰ ³⁷⁵⁶ be saved.⁴⁹⁸²

32 Then⁵¹¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers⁴⁷⁵⁷ cut off⁶⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ ropes⁴⁹⁷⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ boat,⁴⁶²⁷ and²⁵³² let¹⁴³⁹ her⁸⁴⁶ fall off.¹⁶⁰¹

33 And¹¹⁶¹ while⁸⁹¹ ³⁷³⁹ the day²²⁵⁰ was³¹⁹⁵ coming on,¹⁰⁹⁶ Paul³⁹⁷² besought³⁸⁷⁰ them all⁵³⁷ to take³³³⁵ meat,⁵¹⁶⁰ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ This day⁴⁵⁹⁴ is the fourteenth⁵⁰⁶⁵ day²²⁵⁰ that ye have tarried⁴³²⁸ and continued¹³⁰⁰ fasting,⁷⁷⁷ having taken⁴³⁵⁵ nothing.³³⁶⁷

34 Wherefore¹³⁵² I pray³⁸⁷⁰ you⁵²⁰⁹ to take⁴³⁵⁵ some meat:⁵¹⁶⁰ for¹⁰⁶³ this⁵¹²⁴ is⁵²²⁵ for⁴³¹⁴ your⁵²¹² health:⁴⁹⁹¹ for¹⁰⁶³ there shall not an hair²³⁵⁹ fall⁴⁰⁹⁸ from¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ head²⁷⁷⁶ of any³⁷⁶² of you.⁵²¹⁶

35 And¹¹⁶¹ when he had thus⁵⁰²³ spoken,²⁰³⁶ he²⁵³² took²⁹⁸³ bread,⁷⁴⁰ and gave thanks²¹⁶⁸ to God²³¹⁶ in presence¹⁷⁹⁹ of them all:³⁹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² when he had broken²⁸⁰⁶ it, he began⁷⁵⁶ to eat.²⁰⁶⁸

36 Then¹¹⁶¹ were¹⁰⁹⁶ they all³⁹⁵⁶ of good cheer,²¹¹⁵ and they⁸⁴⁸ also²⁵³² took⁴³⁵⁵ some meat.⁵¹⁶⁰

37 And¹¹⁶¹ we were²²⁵⁸ in all³⁹⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ ship⁴¹⁴³ two hundred threescore and sixteen¹²⁵⁰ ¹⁴⁴⁰ ¹⁸⁰³ souls.⁵⁵⁹⁰

38 And¹¹⁶¹ when they had eaten enough,²⁸⁸⁰ ⁵¹⁶⁰ they lightened²⁸⁹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship,⁴¹⁴³ and cast out¹⁵⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ wheat⁴⁶²¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea.²²⁸¹

39 And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ it was¹⁰⁹⁶ day,²²⁵⁰ they knew¹⁹²¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ land:¹⁰⁹³ but¹¹⁶¹ they discovered²⁶⁵⁷ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ creek²⁸⁵⁹ with²¹⁹² a shore,¹²³ into¹⁵¹⁹ the which³⁷³⁹ they were minded,¹⁰¹¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ it were possible,¹⁴¹⁰ to thrust in¹⁸⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship.⁴¹⁴³

40 And²⁵³² when they had taken up⁴⁰¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ anchors,⁴⁵ they committed¹⁴³⁹ themselves unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea,²²⁸¹ and²⁶⁰ loosed⁴⁴⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ rudder⁴⁰⁷⁹ bands,²²⁰² and²⁵³² hoisted up¹⁸⁶⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ mainsail⁷³⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ wind,⁴¹⁵⁴ and made²⁷²² toward¹⁵¹⁹ shore.¹²³

41 And¹¹⁶¹ falling⁴⁰⁴⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ a place⁵¹¹⁷ where two seas met,¹³³⁷ they ran the ship aground;²⁰²⁷ ³⁵⁸⁸ ³⁴⁹¹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ forepart⁴⁴⁰⁸ ³³⁰³ stuck fast,²⁰⁴³ and remained³³⁰⁶ unmovable,⁷⁶¹ but¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ hinder part⁴⁴⁰³ was broken³⁰⁸⁹ with⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ violence⁹⁷⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ waves.²⁹⁴⁹

42 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers'⁴⁷⁵⁷ counsel¹⁰¹² was¹⁰⁹⁶ to²⁴⁴³ kill⁶¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ prisoners,¹²⁰² lest any of them³³⁶¹ ⁵¹⁰⁰ should swim out,¹⁵⁷⁹ and escape.¹³⁰⁹

43 But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ centurion,¹⁵⁴³ willing¹⁰¹⁴ to save¹²⁹⁵ Paul,³⁹⁷² kept²⁹⁶⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ from their purpose;¹⁰¹³ and⁵⁰³⁷ commanded²⁷⁵³ that they which could¹⁴¹⁰ swim²⁸⁶⁰ should cast⁶⁴¹ themselves first⁴⁴¹³ into the sea, and get¹⁸²⁶ to¹⁹⁰⁹ land:¹⁰⁹³

44 And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ rest,³⁰⁶² some³⁷³⁹ on¹⁹⁰⁹ boards,⁴⁵⁴⁸ and¹¹⁶¹ some³⁷³⁹ ³³⁰³ on¹⁹⁰⁹ broken pieces⁵¹⁰⁰ of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship.⁴¹⁴³ And²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ that they escaped all safe¹²⁹⁵ ³⁹⁵⁶ to¹⁹⁰⁹ land.¹⁰⁹³

Acts 28: 1-31

1 And²⁵³² when they were escaped,¹²⁹⁵ then⁵¹¹⁹ they knew¹⁹²¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ island³⁵²⁰ was called²⁵⁶⁴ Melita.³¹⁹⁴

2 And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ barbarous people⁹¹⁵ showed³⁹³⁰ us²²⁵⁴ no³⁷⁵⁶ little⁵¹⁷⁷ kindness:⁵³⁶³ for¹⁰⁶³ they kindled³⁸¹ a fire,⁴⁴⁴³ and received⁴³⁵⁵ us²²⁴⁸ every one,³⁹⁵⁶ because¹²²³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ present²¹⁸⁶ rain,⁵²⁰⁵ and²⁵³² because¹²²³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ cold.⁵⁵⁹²

3 And¹¹⁶¹ when Paul³⁹⁷² had gathered⁴⁹⁶² a bundle⁴¹²⁸ of sticks,⁵⁴³⁴ and²⁵³² laid²⁰⁰⁷ them on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ fire,⁴⁴⁴³ there came¹⁸³¹ a viper²¹⁹¹ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ heat,²³²⁹ and fastened²⁵¹⁰ on his⁸⁴⁸ hand.⁵⁴⁹⁵

4 And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ barbarians⁹¹⁵ saw¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ venomous beast²³⁴² hang²⁹¹⁰ on¹⁵³⁷ his⁸⁴⁸ hand,⁵⁴⁹⁵ they said³⁰⁰⁴ among⁴³¹⁴ themselves,²⁴⁰ No doubt³⁸⁴³ this³⁷⁷⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ is²⁰⁷⁶ a murderer,⁵⁴⁰⁶ whom,³⁷³⁹ though he hath escaped¹²⁹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea,²²⁸¹ yet vengeance¹³⁴⁹ suffereth¹⁴³⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ to live.²¹⁹⁸

5 And³⁷⁶⁷ he³⁵⁸⁸ ³³⁰³ shook off⁶⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ beast²³⁴² into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ fire,⁴⁴⁴² and felt³⁹⁵⁸ no³⁷⁶² harm.²⁵⁵⁶

6 Howbeit¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ looked⁴³²⁸ when he⁸⁴⁶ should³¹⁹⁵ have swollen,⁴⁰⁹² or²²²⁸ fallen down²⁶⁶⁷ dead³⁴⁹⁸ suddenly:⁸⁶⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ after they⁸⁴⁶ had looked⁴³²⁸ a great while,¹⁹⁰⁹ ⁴¹⁸³ and²⁵³² saw²³³⁴ no harm³³⁶⁷ ⁸²⁴ come¹⁰⁹⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ they changed their minds,³³²⁸ and said³⁰⁰⁴ that he⁸⁴⁶ was¹⁵¹¹ a god.²³¹⁶

7 ¹¹⁶¹ In¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ same quarters⁴⁰¹² ¹⁵⁶⁵ ⁵¹¹⁷ were⁵²²⁵ possessions⁵⁵⁶⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ chief man⁴⁴¹³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ island,³⁵²⁰ whose name³⁶⁸⁶ was Publius;⁴¹⁹⁶ who³⁷³⁹ received³²⁴ us,²²⁴⁸ and lodged³⁵⁷⁹ us three⁵¹⁴⁰ days²²⁵⁰ courteously.⁵³⁹⁰

8 And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ that the³⁵⁸⁸ father³⁹⁶² of Publius⁴¹⁹⁶ lay²⁶²¹ sick⁴⁹¹² of a fever⁴⁴⁴⁶ and²⁵³² of a bloody flux:¹⁴²⁰ to⁴³¹⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² entered in,¹⁵²⁵ and²⁵³² prayed,⁴³³⁶ and laid²⁰⁰⁷ his hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ on him,⁸⁴⁶ and healed²³⁹⁰ him.⁸⁴⁶

9 So³⁷⁶⁷ when this⁵¹²⁷ was done,¹⁰⁹⁶ others³⁰⁶² also,²⁵³² which had²¹⁹² diseases⁷⁶⁹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ island,³⁵²⁰ came,⁴³³⁴ and²⁵³² were healed:²³²³

10 Who³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² honored⁵⁰⁹² us²²⁴⁸ with many⁴¹⁸³ honors;⁵⁰⁹¹ and²⁵³² when we departed,³²¹ they laded²⁰⁰⁷ us with such things as were necessary.⁴³¹⁴ ⁵⁵³²

11 And¹¹⁶¹ after³³²⁶ three⁵¹⁴⁰ months³³⁷⁶ we departed³²¹ in¹⁷²² a ship⁴¹⁴³ of Alexandria,²²² which had wintered³⁹¹⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ isle,³⁵²⁰ whose sign³⁹⁰² was Castor and Pollux.¹³⁵⁹

12 And²⁵³² landing²⁶⁰⁹ at¹⁵¹⁹ Syracuse,⁴⁹⁴⁶ we tarried¹⁹⁶¹ there three⁵¹⁴⁰ days.²²⁵⁰

13 And from thence³⁶⁰⁶ we fetched a compass,⁴⁰²² and came²⁶⁵⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Rhegium:⁴⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² after³³²⁶ one³³⁹¹ day²²⁵⁰ the south wind³⁵⁵⁸ blew,¹⁹²⁰ and we came²⁰⁶⁴ the next day¹²⁰⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Puteoli:⁴²²³

14 Where³⁷⁵⁷ we found²¹⁴⁷ brethren,⁸⁰ and were desired³⁸⁷⁰ to tarry¹⁹⁶¹ with¹⁹⁰⁹ them⁸⁴⁶ seven²⁰³³ days:²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ we went²⁰⁶⁴ toward¹⁵¹⁹ Rome.⁴⁵¹⁶

15 And from thence,²⁵⁴⁷ when the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ heard¹⁹¹ of⁴⁰¹² us,²²⁵⁷ they came¹⁸³¹ to¹⁵¹⁹ meet⁵²⁹ us²²⁵⁴ as far as⁸⁹¹ Appii⁶⁷⁵ Forum,⁵⁴¹⁰ and²⁵³² The Three⁵¹⁴⁰ Taverns:⁴⁹⁹⁹ whom³⁷³⁹ when Paul³⁹⁷² saw,¹⁴⁹² he thanked²¹⁶⁸ God,²³¹⁶ and took²⁹⁸³ courage.²²⁹⁴

16 And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ we came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Rome,⁴⁵¹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ centurion¹⁵⁴³ delivered³⁸⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ prisoners¹¹⁹⁸ to the³⁵⁸⁸ captain of the guard:⁴⁷⁵⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² was suffered²⁰¹⁰ to dwell³³⁰⁶ by²⁵⁹⁶ himself¹⁴³⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² a soldier⁴⁷⁵⁷ that kept⁵⁴⁴² him.⁸⁴⁶

17 And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ that after³³²⁶ three⁵¹⁴⁰ days²²⁵⁰ Paul³⁹⁷² called the chief of the Jews together:⁴⁷⁷⁹ ³⁵⁸⁸ ⁵⁶⁰⁷ ⁴⁴¹³ ³⁵⁸⁸ ²⁴⁵³ and¹¹⁶¹ when they⁸⁴⁸ were come together,⁴⁹⁰⁵ he said³⁰⁰⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ though I¹⁴⁷³ have committed⁴¹⁶⁰ nothing³⁷⁶² against¹⁷²⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² or²²²⁸ customs¹⁴⁸⁵ of our fathers,³⁹⁷¹ yet was I delivered³⁸⁶⁰ prisoner¹¹⁹⁸ from¹⁵³⁷ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Romans.⁴⁵¹⁴

18 Who,³⁷⁴⁸ when they had examined³⁵⁰ me,³¹⁶⁵ would¹⁰¹⁴ have let me go,⁶³⁰ because there was⁵²²⁵ no³³⁶⁷ cause¹⁵⁶ of death²²⁸⁸ in¹⁷²² me.¹⁶⁹⁸

19 But¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ spake against⁴⁸³ it, I was constrained³¹⁵ to appeal unto¹⁹⁴¹ Caesar;²⁵⁴¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ that⁵⁶¹³ I had²¹⁹² aught⁵¹⁰⁰ to accuse²⁷²³ my³⁴⁵⁰ nation¹⁴⁸⁴ of.

20 For¹²²³ this⁵⁰²⁶ cause¹⁵⁶ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ have I called³⁸⁷⁰ for you,⁵²⁰⁹ to see¹⁴⁹² you, and²⁵³² to speak with⁴³⁵⁴ you: because¹⁷⁵² that for¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ hope¹⁶⁸⁰ of Israel²⁴⁷⁴ I am bound⁴⁰²⁹ with this⁵⁰²⁶ chain.²⁵⁴

21 And¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ We²²⁴⁹ neither³⁷⁷⁷ received¹²⁰⁹ letters¹¹²¹ out of⁵⁷⁵ Judea²⁴⁴⁹ concerning⁴⁰¹² thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ neither³⁷⁷⁷ any⁵¹⁰⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ that came³⁸⁵⁴ showed⁵¹⁸ or²²²⁸ spake²⁹⁸⁰ any⁵¹⁰⁰ harm⁴¹⁹⁰ of⁴⁰¹² thee.⁴⁶⁷⁵

22 But¹¹⁶¹ we desire⁵¹⁵ to hear¹⁹¹ of³⁸⁴⁴ thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ what³⁷³⁹ thou thinkest:⁵⁴²⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ as³³⁰³ concerning⁴⁰¹² this⁵⁰²⁶ sect,¹³⁹ we²²⁵⁴ know²⁰⁷⁶ ¹¹¹⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ every where³⁸³⁷ it is spoken against.⁴⁸³

23 And¹¹⁶¹ when they had appointed⁵⁰²¹ him⁸⁴⁶ a day,²²⁵⁰ there came²²⁴⁰ many⁴¹¹⁹ to⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ his lodging;³⁵⁷⁸ to whom³⁷³⁹ he expounded¹⁶²⁰ and testified¹²⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God,²³¹⁶ ⁵⁰³⁷ persuading³⁹⁸² them⁸⁴⁶ concerning⁴⁰¹² Jesus,²⁴²⁴ both⁵⁰³⁷ out of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ of Moses,³⁴⁷⁵ and²⁵³² out of the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets,⁴³⁹⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ morning⁴⁴⁰⁴ till²¹⁹³ evening.²⁰⁷³

24 And²⁵³² some³⁵⁸⁸ ³³⁰³ believed³⁹⁸² the things which were spoken,³⁰⁰⁴ and¹¹⁶¹ some³⁵⁸⁸ believed not.⁵⁶⁹

25 And¹¹⁶¹ when they agreed not⁵⁶⁰⁷ ⁸⁰⁰ among⁴³¹⁴ themselves,²⁴⁰ they departed,⁶³⁰ after that Paul³⁹⁷² had spoken²⁰³⁶ one¹⁵²⁰ word,⁴⁴⁸⁷ Well²⁵⁷³ spake²⁹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ by¹²²³ Isaiah²²⁶⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet⁴³⁹⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ our²²⁵⁷ fathers,³⁹⁶²

26 Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Go⁴¹⁹⁸ unto⁴³¹⁴ this⁵¹²⁶ people,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² say,²⁰³⁶ Hearing¹⁸⁹ ye shall hear,¹⁹¹ and²⁵³² shall not³³⁶⁴ understand;⁴⁹²⁰ and²⁵³² seeing⁹⁹¹ ye shall see,⁹⁹¹ and²⁵³² not³³⁶⁴ perceive:¹⁴⁹²

27 For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ heart²⁵⁸⁸ of this⁵¹²⁷ people²⁹⁹² is waxed gross,³⁹⁷⁵ and²⁵³² their ears³⁷⁷⁵ are dull of hearing,¹⁹¹ ⁹¹⁷ and²⁵³² their⁸⁴⁸ eyes³⁷⁸⁸ have they closed;²⁵⁷⁶ lest³³⁷⁹ they should see¹⁴⁹² with their eyes,³⁷⁸⁸ and²⁵³² hear¹⁹¹ with their ears,³⁷⁷⁵ and²⁵³² understand⁴⁹²⁰ with their heart,²⁵⁸⁸ and²⁵³² should be converted,¹⁹⁹⁴ and²⁵³² I should heal²³⁹⁰ them.⁸⁴⁶

28 Be²⁰⁷⁷ it known¹¹¹⁰ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ unto you,⁵²¹³ that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ salvation⁴⁹⁹² of God²³¹⁶ is sent⁶⁴⁹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² that they⁸⁴⁶ will hear¹⁹¹ it.

29 And²⁵³² when he⁸⁴⁶ had said²⁰³⁶ these words,⁵⁰²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews²⁴⁵³ departed,⁵⁶⁵ and had²¹⁹² great⁴¹⁸³ reasoning⁴⁸⁰³ among¹⁷²² themselves.¹⁴³⁸

30 And¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² dwelt³³⁰⁶ two whole years¹³³³ ³⁶⁵⁰ in¹⁷²² his own²³⁹⁸ hired house,³⁴¹⁰ and²⁵³² received⁵⁸⁸ all³⁹⁵⁶ that came in¹⁵³¹ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶

31 Preaching²⁷⁸⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² teaching¹³²¹ those things³⁵⁸⁸ which concern⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ with³³²⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ confidence,³⁹⁵⁴ no man forbidding him.²⁰⁹
