{\MTB THE
\par }{\MT ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
former
treatise
I
made,
O
Theophilus,
concerning
all
that
Jesus
began
both
to
do
and
to
teach,
\VS{2}until
the
day
in
which
he
was
received
up,
after
that
he
had
given
commandment
through
the
Holy
Ghost
unto
the apostles
whom
he
had
chosen:
\VS{3}To
whom
he
also
shewed
himself
alive
after
his
passion
by
many
proofs,
appearing
unto
them
by
the
space
of
forty
days,
and
speaking
the
things
concerning
the
kingdom
of
God:
\VS{4}and,
being
assembled
together
with
them,
he
charged
them
not
to
depart
from
Jerusalem,
but
to
wait
for
the
promise
of
the
Father,
which,
{\ADD{
said
he}},
ye
heard
from
me:
\VS{5}For
John
indeed baptized
with
water;
but
ye
shall
be baptized
with
the
Holy
Ghost
not
many
days
hence.
\VS{6}They
therefore,
when
they
were
come
together,
asked
him,
saying,
Lord,
dost
thou
at
this
time
restore
the
kingdom
to
Israel?
\VS{7}And
he
said
unto
them,
It
is
not
for
you
to
know
times
or
seasons,
which
the
Father
hath
set
within
his
own
authority.
\VS{8}But
ye
shall
receive
power,
when
the
Holy
Ghost
is
come
upon
you:
and
ye
shall
be
my
witnesses
both
in
Jerusalem,
and
in
all
Judaea
and
Samaria,
and
unto
the
uttermost
part
of
the
earth.
\VS{9}And
when
he
had
said
these
things,
as
they
were
looking,
he
was
taken
up;
and
a
cloud
received
him
out
of
their
sight.
\VS{10}And
while
they
were
looking
stedfastly
into
heaven
as
he
went,
behold,
two
men
stood
by
them
in
white
apparel;
\VS{11}which
also
said,
Ye
men
of
Galilee,
why
stand
ye
looking
into
heaven?
this
Jesus,
which
was
received
up
from
you
into
heaven,
shall
so
come
in
like
manner
as
ye
beheld
him
going
into
heaven.
\VS{12}Then
returned
they
unto
Jerusalem
from
the
mount
called
Olivet,
which
is
nigh
unto
Jerusalem,
a
sabbath
day’s
journey
off.
\VS{13}And
when
they
were
come
in,
they
went
up
into
the
upper
chamber,
where
they
were
abiding;
both
Peter
and
John
and
James
and Andrew,
Philip
and
Thomas, Bartholomew
and
Matthew,
James
{\ADD{
the
son
}}of Alphaeus,
and
Simon
the Zealot,
and
Judas
{\ADD{
the
son
}}of
James.
\VS{14}These
all
with
one
accord
continued
stedfastly
in
prayer,
with
the
women,
and
Mary
the
mother
of
Jesus,
and
with
his
brethren.
\VS{15}And
in
these
days
Peter
stood
up
in
the
midst
of
the
brethren,
and
said (and
there
was
a
multitude
of
persons
{\ADD{
gathered
}}together,
about
a
hundred
and
twenty),
\VS{16}Brethren,
it
was
needful
that
the
scripture
should
be
fulfilled,
which
the
Holy
Ghost
spake
before
by
the
mouth
of
David
concerning
Judas,
who
was
guide
to
them
that
took
Jesus.
\VS{17}For
he
was
numbered
among
us,
and
received
his
portion
in
this
ministry.
\VS{18}(Now
this
man
obtained
a
field
with
the
reward
of
his
iniquity;
and
falling
headlong,
he
burst
asunder
in
the
midst,
and
all
his
bowels
gushed
out.
\VS{19}And
it
became
known
to
all
the
dwellers
at
Jerusalem; insomuch
that
in
their
language
that
field
was
called Akeldama,
that
is,
The
field
of
blood.)
\VS{20}For
it
is
written
in
the
book
of
Psalms,
Let
his
habitation
be
made
desolate,
And
let
no
man
dwell
therein:
and,
His
office
let
another
take.
\VS{21}Of
the
men
therefore
which
have
companied
with
us
all
the
time
that
the
Lord
Jesus
went
in
and
went
out
among
us,
\VS{22}beginning
from
the baptism
of
John,
unto
the
day
that
he
was
received
up
from
us,
of
these
must
one
become
a
witness
with
us
of
his resurrection.
\VS{23}And
they
put
forward
two,
Joseph
called Barsabbas,
who
was
surnamed
Justus,
and
Matthias.
\VS{24}And
they
prayed,
and
said,
Thou,
Lord,
which
knowest
the
hearts
of
all
men,
shew
of
these
two
the
one
whom
thou
hast
chosen,
\VS{25}to
take
the
place
in
this
ministry
and apostleship,
from
which
Judas
fell
away,
that
he
might
go
to
his
own
place.
\VS{26}And
they
gave
lots
for
them;
and
the
lot
fell
upon
Matthias;
and
he
was
numbered
with
the
eleven apostles.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
when
the
day
of
Pentecost
was
now
come,
they
were
all
together
in
one
place.
\VS{2}And
suddenly
there
came
from
heaven
a
sound
as
of
the
rushing
of
a
mighty
wind,
and
it
filled
all
the
house
where
they
were
sitting.
\VS{3}And
there
appeared
unto
them
tongues
parting
asunder,
like
as
of
fire;
and
it
sat
upon
each
one
of
them.
\VS{4}And
they
were
all
filled
with
the
Holy
Spirit,
and
began
to
speak
with
other
tongues,
as
the
Spirit
gave
them
utterance.
\VS{5}Now
there
were
dwelling
at
Jerusalem
Jews,
devout
men,
from
every
nation
under
heaven.
\VS{6}And
when
this
sound
was
heard,
the
multitude
came
together,
and
were
confounded,
because
that
every
man
heard
them
speaking
in
his
own
language.
\VS{7}And
they
were
all
amazed
and
marveled,
saying,
Behold,
are
not
all
these
which
speak Galilaeans?
\VS{8}And
how
hear
we,
every
man
in
our
own
language,
wherein
we
were
born?
\VS{9}Parthians
and
Medes
and
Elamites,
and
the
dwellers
in
Mesopotamia,
in
Judaea
and
Cappadocia,
in
Pontus
and
Asia,
\VS{10}in
Phrygia
and
Pamphylia,
in
Egypt
and
the
parts
of
Libya
about
Cyrene,
and
sojourners
from
Rome,
both
Jews
and
proselytes,
\VS{11}Cretans
and
Arabians,
we
do
hear
them
speaking
in
our
tongues
the
mighty
works
of
God.
\VS{12}And
they
were
all
amazed,
and
were
perplexed,
saying
one
to
another,
What
meaneth
this?
\VS{13}But
others
mocking
said,
They
are
filled
with
new
wine.
\VS{14}But
Peter,
standing
up
with
the
eleven,
lifted
up
his
voice,
and
spake
forth
unto
them,
{\ADD{
saying}},
Ye
men
of Judaea,
and
all
ye
that
dwell
at
Jerusalem,
be
this
known
unto
you,
and
give
ear
unto
my
words.
\VS{15}For
these
are
not
drunken,
as
ye
suppose;
seeing
it
is
{\ADD{
but
}}the
third
hour
of
the
day;
\VS{16}but
this
is
that
which
hath
been
spoken
by
the
prophet
Joel;
\VS{17}And
it
shall
be
in
the
last
days,
saith
God,
I
will
pour
forth
of
my
Spirit
upon
all
flesh:
And
your
sons
and
your
daughters
shall
prophesy,
And
your
young
men
shall
see
visions,
And
your
old
men
shall
dream
dreams:
\VS{18}Yea
and
on
my
servants
and
on
my
handmaidens
in
those
days
Will
I
pour
forth
of
my
Spirit;
and
they
shall
prophesy.
\VS{19}And
I
will
shew
wonders
in
the
heaven
above,
And
signs
on
the
earth
beneath;
Blood,
and
fire,
and
vapour
of
smoke:
\VS{20}The
sun
shall
be
turned
into
darkness,
And
the
moon
into
blood,
Before
the
day
of
the
Lord
come,
That
great
and
notable
{\ADD{
day}}:
\VS{21}And
it
shall
be,
that
whosoever
shall
call
on
the
name
of
the
Lord
shall
be
saved.
\VS{22}Ye
men
of
Israel,
hear
these
words:
Jesus
of
Nazareth,
a
man
approved
of
God
unto
you
by
mighty
works
and
wonders
and
signs,
which
God
did
by
him
in
the
midst
of
you,
even
as
ye
yourselves
know;
\VS{23}him,
being
delivered
up
by
the
determinate
counsel
and
foreknowledge
of
God,
ye
by
the
hand
of
lawless
men
did crucify
and
slay:
\VS{24}whom
God
raised
up,
having
loosed
the
pangs
of
death:
because
it
was
not
possible
that
he
should
be
holden
of
it.
\VS{25}For
David
saith
concerning
him,
I
beheld
the
Lord
always
before
my
face;
For
he
is
on
my
right
hand,
that
I
should
not
be
moved:
\VS{26}Therefore
my
heart
was
glad,
and
my
tongue
rejoiced;
Moreover
my
flesh
also
shall
dwell
in
hope:
\VS{27}Because
thou
wilt
not
leave
my
soul
in Hades,
Neither
wilt
thou
give
thy
Holy
One
to
see
corruption.
\VS{28}Thou
madest
known
unto
me
the
ways
of
life;
Thou
shalt
make
me
full
of
gladness
with
thy
countenance.
\VS{29}Brethren,
I
may
say
unto
you
freely
of
the
patriarch
David,
that
he
both
died
and
was
buried,
and
his
tomb
is
with
us
unto
this
day.
\VS{30}Being
therefore
a
prophet,
and
knowing
that
God
had
sworn
with
an
oath
to
him,
that
of
the
fruit
of
his
loins
he
would
set
{\ADD{
one
}}upon
his
throne;
\VS{31}he foreseeing
{\ADD{
this
}}spake
of
the resurrection
of
the
Christ,
that
neither
was
he
left
in Hades,
nor
did
his
flesh
see
corruption.
\VS{32}This
Jesus
did
God
raise
up,
whereof
we
all
are
witnesses.
\VS{33}Being
therefore
by
the
right
hand
of
God
exalted,
and
having
received
of
the
Father
the
promise
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
he
hath
poured
forth
this,
which
ye
see
and
hear.
\VS{34}For
David
ascended
not
into
the
heavens:
but
he
saith
himself,
The
Lord
said
unto
my
Lord,
Sit
thou
on
my
right
hand,
\VS{35}Till
I
make
thine
enemies
the
footstool
of
thy
feet.
\VS{36}Let
all
the
house
of
Israel
therefore
know
assuredly,
that
God
hath
made
him
both
Lord
and
Christ,
this
Jesus
whom
ye
crucified.
\VS{37}Now
when
they
heard
{\ADD{
this}},
they
were
pricked
in
their
heart,
and
said
unto
Peter
and
the
rest
of
the apostles,
Brethren,
what
shall
we
do?
\VS{38}And
Peter
{\ADD{
said
}}unto
them,
Repent
ye,
and
be baptized
every
one
of
you
in
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ
unto
the
remission
of
your
sins;
and
ye
shall
receive
the
gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost.
\VS{39}For
to
you
is
the
promise,
and
to
your
children,
and
to
all
that
are
afar
off,
{\ADD{
even
}}as
many
as
the
Lord
our
God
shall
call
unto
him.
\VS{40}And
with
many
other
words
he
testified,
and
exhorted
them,
saying,
Save
yourselves
from
this
crooked
generation.
\VS{41}They
then
that
received
his
word
were baptized:
and
there
were
added
{\ADD{
unto
them
}}in
that
day
about
three
thousand
souls.
\VS{42}And
they
continued
stedfastly
in
the apostles’
teaching
and
fellowship,
in
the
breaking
of
bread
and
the
prayers.
\VS{43}And
fear
came
upon
every
soul:
and
many
wonders
and
signs
were
done
by
the apostles.
\VS{44}And
all
that
believed
were
together,
and
had
all
things
common;
\VS{45}and
they
sold
their
possessions
and
goods,
and
parted
them
to
all,
according
as
any
man
had
need.
\VS{46}And
day
by
day,
continuing
stedfastly
with
one
accord
in
the
temple,
and
breaking
bread
at
home,
they
did
take
their
food
with
gladness
and singleness
of
heart,
\VS{47}praising
God,
and
having
favour
with
all
the
people.
And
the
Lord
added
to
them
day
by
day
those
that
were
being
saved.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Peter
and
John
were
going
up
into
the
temple
at
the
hour
of
prayer,
{\ADD{
being
}}the
ninth
{\ADD{
hour}}.
\VS{2}And
a
certain
man
that
was
lame
from
his
mother’s
womb
was
carried,
whom
they
laid
daily
at
the
door
of
the
temple
which
is
called
Beautiful,
to
ask
alms
of
them
that
entered
into
the
temple;
\VS{3}who
seeing
Peter
and
John
about
to
go
into
the
temple,
asked
to
receive
an
alms.
\VS{4}And
Peter, fastening
his
eyes
upon
him,
with
John,
said,
Look
on
us.
\VS{5}And
he
gave
heed
unto
them,
expecting
to
receive
something
from
them.
\VS{6}But
Peter
said,
Silver
and
gold
have
I
none;
but
what
I
have,
that
give
I
thee.
In
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ
of
Nazareth,
walk.
\VS{7}And
he
took
him
by
the
right
hand,
and
raised
him
up:
and
immediately
his
feet
and
his ankle-bones
received
strength.
\VS{8}And
leaping
up,
he
stood,
and
began
to
walk;
and
he
entered
with
them
into
the
temple,
walking,
and
leaping,
and
praising
God.
\VS{9}And
all
the
people
saw
him
walking
and
praising
God:
\VS{10}and
they
took
knowledge
of
him,
that
it
was
he
which
sat
for
alms
at
the
Beautiful
Gate
of
the
temple:
and
they
were
filled
with
wonder
and
amazement
at
that
which
had
happened
unto
him.
\VS{11}And
as
he
held
Peter
and
John,
all
the
people
ran
together
unto
them
in
the
porch
that
is
called
Solomon’s,
greatly
wondering.
\VS{12}And
when
Peter
saw
it,
he
answered
unto
the
people,
Ye
men
of
Israel,
why
marvel
ye
at
this
man?
or
why
fasten
ye
your
eyes
on
us,
as
though
by
our
own
power
or
godliness
we
had
made
him
to
walk?
\VS{13}The
God
of
Abraham,
and
of
Isaac,
and
of
Jacob,
the
God
of
our
fathers,
hath
glorified
his
Servant
Jesus;
whom
ye
delivered
up,
and
denied
before
the
face
of
Pilate,
when
he
had
determined
to
release
him.
\VS{14}But
ye
denied
the
Holy
and
Righteous
One,
and
asked
for
a
murderer
to
be
granted
unto
you,
\VS{15}and
killed
the
Prince
of
life;
whom
God
raised
from
the
dead;
whereof
we
are
witnesses.
\VS{16}And
by
faith
in
his
name
hath
his
name
made
this
man
strong,
whom
ye
behold
and
know:
yea,
the
faith
which
is
through
him
hath
given
him
this
perfect
soundness
in
the
presence
of
you
all.
\VS{17}And
now,
brethren,
I
wot
that
in
ignorance
ye
did
it,
as
did
also
your
rulers.
\VS{18}But
the
things
which
God foreshewed
by
the
mouth
of
all
the
prophets,
that
his
Christ
should
suffer,
he
thus
fulfilled.
\VS{19}Repent
ye
therefore,
and
turn
again,
that
your
sins
may
be
blotted
out,
that
so
there
may
come
seasons
of
refreshing
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord;
\VS{20}and
that
he
may
send
the
Christ
who
hath
been
appointed
for
you,
{\ADD{
even
}}Jesus:
\VS{21}whom
the
heaven
must
receive
until
the
times
of restoration
of
all
things,
whereof
God
spake
by
the
mouth
of
his
holy
prophets
which
have
been
since
the
world
began.
\VS{22}Moses
indeed
said,
A
prophet
shall
the
Lord
God
raise
up
unto
you
from
among
your
brethren,
like
unto
me;
to
him
shall
ye
hearken
in
all
things
whatsoever
he
shall
speak
unto
you.
\VS{23}And
it
shall
be,
that
every
soul,
which
shall
not
hearken
to
that
prophet,
shall
be
utterly
destroyed
from
among
the
people.
\VS{24}Yea
and
all
the
prophets
from
Samuel
and
them
that
followed
after,
as
many
as
have
spoken,
they
also
told
of
these
days.
\VS{25}Ye
are
the
sons
of
the
prophets,
and
of
the
covenant
which
God
made
with
your
fathers,
saying
unto
Abraham,
And
in
thy
seed
shall
all
the
families
of
the
earth
be
blessed.
\VS{26}Unto
you
first
God,
having
raised
up
his
Servant,
sent
him
to
bless
you,
in
turning
away
every
one
of
you
from
your
iniquities.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
as
they
spake
unto
the
people,
the
priests
and
the
captain
of
the
temple
and
the
Sadducees
came
upon
them,
\VS{2}being
sore
troubled
because
they
taught
the
people,
and
proclaimed
in
Jesus
the resurrection
from
the
dead.
\VS{3}And
they
laid
hands
on
them,
and
put
them
in
ward
unto
the
morrow:
for
it
was
now
eventide.
\VS{4}But
many
of
them
that
heard
the
word
believed;
and
the
number
of
the
men
came
to
be
about
five
thousand.
\VS{5}And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
morrow,
that
their
rulers
and
elders
and
scribes
were
gathered
together
in
Jerusalem;
\VS{6}and Annas
the
high
priest
{\ADD{
was
there}},
and
Caiaphas,
and
John,
and Alexander,
and
as
many
as
were
of
the
kindred
of
the
high
priest.
\VS{7}And
when
they
had
set
them
in
the
midst,
they
inquired,
By
what
power,
or
in
what
name,
have
ye
done
this?
\VS{8}Then
Peter,
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost,
said
unto
them,
Ye
rulers
of
the
people,
and
elders,
\VS{9}if
we
this
day
are
examined
concerning
a
good
deed
done
to
an
impotent
man,
by
what
means
this
man
is
made
whole;
\VS{10}be
it
known
unto
you
all,
and
to
all
the
people
of
Israel,
that
in
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ
of
Nazareth,
whom
ye
crucified,
whom
God
raised
from
the
dead,
{\ADD{
even
}}in
him
doth
this
man
stand
here
before
you
whole.
\VS{11}He
is
the
stone
which
was
set
at
nought
of
you
the
builders,
which
was
made
the
head
of
the
corner.
\VS{12}And
in
none
other
is
there
salvation:
for
neither
is
there
any
other
name
under
heaven,
that
is
given
among
men,
wherein
we
must
be
saved.
\VS{13}Now
when
they
beheld
the
boldness
of
Peter
and
John,
and
had
perceived
that
they
were
unlearned
and
ignorant
men,
they
marveled;
and
they
took
knowledge
of
them,
that
they
had
been
with
Jesus.
\VS{14}And
seeing
the
man
which
was
healed
standing
with
them,
they
could
say
nothing
against
it.
\VS{15}But
when
they
had
commanded
them
to
go
aside
out
of
the
council,
they
conferred
among
themselves,
\VS{16}saying,
What
shall
we
do
to
these
men?
for
that
indeed
a
notable
miracle
hath
been
wrought
through
them,
is
manifest
to
all
that
dwell
in
Jerusalem;
and
we
cannot
deny
it.
\VS{17}But
that
it
spread
no
further
among
the
people,
let
us
threaten
them,
that
they
speak
henceforth
to
no
man
in
this
name.
\VS{18}And
they
called
them,
and
charged
them
not
to
speak
at
all
nor
teach
in
the
name
of
Jesus.
\VS{19}But
Peter
and
John
answered
and
said
unto
them,
Whether
it
be
right
in
the
sight
of
God
to
hearken
unto
you
rather
than
unto
God,
judge
ye:
\VS{20}for
we
cannot
but
speak
the
things
which
we
saw
and
heard.
\VS{21}And
they,
when
they
had
further
threatened
them,
let
them
go,
finding
nothing
how
they
might
punish
them,
because
of
the
people;
for
all
men
glorified
God
for
that
which
was
done.
\VS{22}For
the
man
was
more
than
forty
years
old,
on
whom
this
miracle
of
healing
was
wrought.
\VS{23}And
being
let
go,
they
came
to
their
own
company,
and
reported
all
that
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders
had
said
unto
them.
\VS{24}And
they,
when
they
heard
it,
lifted
up
their
voice
to
God
with
one
accord,
and
said,
O
Lord,
thou
that
didst
make
the
heaven
and
the
earth
and
the
sea,
and
all
that
in
them
is:
\VS{25}who
by
the
Holy
Ghost,
{\ADD{
by
}}the
mouth
of
our
father
David
thy
servant,
didst
say,
Why
did
the
Gentiles
rage,
And
the
peoples
imagine
vain
things?
\VS{26}The
kings
of
the
earth
set
themselves
in
array,
And
the
rulers
were
gathered
together,
Against
the
Lord,
and
against
his
Anointed:
\VS{27}for
of
a
truth
in
this
city
against
thy
holy
Servant
Jesus,
whom
thou
didst
anoint,
both
Herod
and
Pontius
Pilate,
with
the
Gentiles
and
the
peoples
of
Israel,
were
gathered
together,
\VS{28}to
do
whatsoever
thy
hand
and
thy
counsel foreordained
to
come
to
pass.
\VS{29}And
now,
Lord,
look
upon
their threatenings:
and
grant
unto
thy
servants
to
speak
thy
word
with
all
boldness,
\VS{30}while
thou stretchest
forth
thy
hand
to
heal;
and
that
signs
and
wonders
may
be
done
through
the
name
of
thy
holy
Servant
Jesus.
\VS{31}And
when
they
had
prayed,
the
place
was
shaken
wherein
they
were
gathered
together;
and
they
were
all
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost,
and
they
spake
the
word
of
God
with
boldness.
\VS{32}And
the
multitude
of
them
that
believed
were
of
one
heart
and
soul:
and
not
one
{\ADD{
of
them
}}said
that aught
of
the
things
which
he
possessed
was
his
own;
but
they
had
all
things
common.
\VS{33}And
with
great
power
gave
the apostles
their
witness
of
the resurrection
of
the
Lord
Jesus:
and
great
grace
was
upon
them
all.
\VS{34}For
neither
was
there
among
them
any
that
lacked:
for
as
many
as
were
possessors
of
lands
or
houses
sold
them,
and
brought
the
prices
of
the
things
that
were
sold,
\VS{35}and
laid
them
at
the apostles’
feet:
and distribution
was
made
unto
each,
according
as
any
one
had
need.
\VS{36}And
Joseph,
who
by
the apostles
was
surnamed Barnabas (which
is,
being
interpreted,
Son
of
exhortation),
a
Levite,
a
man
of
Cyprus
by
race,
\VS{37}having
a
field,
sold
it,
and
brought
the
money,
and
laid
it
at
the apostles’
feet.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
a
certain
man
named Ananias,
with
Sapphira
his
wife,
sold
a
possession,
\VS{2}and
kept
back
{\ADD{
part
}}of
the
price,
his
wife
also
being
privy
to
it,
and
brought
a
certain
part,
and
laid
it
at
the apostles’
feet.
\VS{3}But
Peter
said, Ananias,
why
hath
Satan
filled
thy
heart
to
lie
to
the
Holy
Ghost,
and
to
keep
back
{\ADD{
part
}}of
the
price
of
the
land?
\VS{4}Whiles
it
remained,
did
it
not
remain
thine
own?
and
after
it
was
sold,
was
it
not
in
thy
power?
How
is
it
that
thou
hast
conceived
this
thing
in
thy
heart?
thou
hast
not
lied
unto
men,
but
unto
God.
\VS{5}And Ananias
hearing
these
words
fell
down
and
gave
up
the
ghost:
and
great
fear
came
upon
all
that
heard
it.
\VS{6}And
the
young
men
arose
and
wrapped
him
round,
and
they
carried
him
out
and
buried
him.
\VS{7}And
it
was
about
the
space
of
three
hours
after,
when
his
wife,
not
knowing
what
was
done,
came
in.
\VS{8}And
Peter
answered
unto
her,
Tell
me
whether
ye
sold
the
land
for
so
much.
And
she
said,
Yea,
for
so
much.
\VS{9}But
Peter
{\ADD{
said
}}unto
her,
How
is
it
that
ye
have
agreed
together
to
tempt
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord?
behold,
the
feet
of
them
which
have
buried
thy
husband
are
at
the
door,
and
they
shall
carry
thee
out.
\VS{10}And
she
fell
down
immediately
at
his
feet,
and
gave
up
the
ghost:
and
the
young
men
came
in
and
found
her
dead,
and
they
carried
her
out
and
buried
her
by
her
husband.
\VS{11}And
great
fear
came
upon
the
whole
church,
and
upon
all
that
heard
these
things.
\VS{12}And
by
the
hands
of
the apostles
were
many
signs
and
wonders
wrought
among
the
people;
and
they
were
all
with
one
accord
in
Solomon’s
porch.
\VS{13}But
of
the
rest
durst
no
man
join
himself
to
them:
howbeit
the
people
magnified
them;
\VS{14}and
believers
were
the
more
added
to
the
Lord,
multitudes
both
of
men
and
women;
\VS{15}insomuch
that
they
even
carried
out
the
sick
into
the
streets,
and
laid
them
on
beds
and
couches,
that,
as
Peter
came
by,
at
the
least
his
shadow
might
overshadow
some
one
of
them.
\VS{16}And
there
also
came
together
the
multitude
from
the
cities
round
about
Jerusalem,
bringing
sick
folk,
and
them
that
were
vexed
with
unclean
spirits:
and
they
were
healed
every
one.
\VS{17}But
the
high
priest
rose
up,
and
all
they
that
were
with
him (which
is
the sect
of
the
Sadducees),
and
they
were
filled
with
jealousy,
\VS{18}and
laid
hands
on
the apostles,
and
put
them
in
public
ward.
\VS{19}But
an
angel
of
the
Lord
by
night
opened
the
prison
doors,
and
brought
them
out,
and
said,
\VS{20}Go
ye,
and
stand
and
speak
in
the
temple
to
the
people
all
the
words
of
this
Life.
\VS{21}And
when
they
heard
{\ADD{
this}},
they
entered
into
the
temple
about
daybreak,
and
taught.
But
the
high
priest
came,
and
they
that
were
with
him,
and
called
the
council
together,
and
all
the
senate
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and
sent
to
the prison-house
to
have
them
brought.
\VS{22}But
the
officers
that
came
found
them
not
in
the
prison;
and
they
returned,
and
told,
\VS{23}saying,
The prison-house
we
found
shut
in
all
safety,
and
the
keepers
standing
at
the
doors:
but
when
we
had
opened,
we
found
no
man
within.
\VS{24}Now
when
the
captain
of
the
temple
and
the
chief
priests
heard
these
words,
they
were
much
perplexed
concerning
them
whereunto
this
would
grow.
\VS{25}And
there
came
one
and
told
them,
Behold,
the
men
whom
ye
put
in
the
prison
are
in
the
temple
standing
and
teaching
the
people.
\VS{26}Then
went
the
captain
with
the
officers,
and
brought
them,
{\ADD{
but
}}without
violence;
for
they
feared
the
people,
lest
they
should
be
stoned.
\VS{27}And
when
they
had
brought
them,
they
set
them
before
the
council.
And
the
high
priest
asked
them,
\VS{28}saying,
We
straitly
charged
you
not
to
teach
in
this
name:
and
behold,
ye
have
filled
Jerusalem
with
your
teaching,
and
intend
to
bring
this
man’s
blood
upon
us.
\VS{29}But
Peter
and
the apostles
answered
and
said,
We
must
obey
God
rather
than
men.
\VS{30}The
God
of
our
fathers
raised
up
Jesus,
whom
ye
slew,
hanging
him
on
a
tree.
\VS{31}Him
did
God
exalt
with
his
right
hand
{\ADD{
to
be
}}a
Prince
and
a
Saviour,
for
to
give
repentance
to
Israel,
and
remission
of
sins.
\VS{32}And
we
are
witnesses
of
these
things;
and
{\ADD{
so
is
}}the
Holy
Ghost,
whom
God
hath
given
to
them
that
obey
him.
\VS{33}But
they,
when
they
heard
this,
were
cut
to
the
heart,
and
were
minded
to
slay
them.
\VS{34}But
there
stood
up
one
in
the
council,
a
Pharisee,
named
Gamaliel,
a
doctor
of
the
law,
had
in
honour
of
all
the
people,
and
commanded
to
put
the
men
forth
a
little
while.
\VS{35}And
he
said
unto
them,
Ye
men
of
Israel,
take
heed
to
yourselves
as
touching
these
men,
what
ye
are
about
to
do.
\VS{36}For
before
these
days
rose
up
Theudas,
giving
himself
out
to
be
somebody;
to
whom
a
number
of
men,
about
four
hundred,
joined
themselves:
who
was
slain;
and
all,
as
many
as
obeyed
him,
were
dispersed,
and
came
to
nought.
\VS{37}After
this
man
rose
up
Judas
of
Galilee
in
the
days
of
the
enrollment,
and
drew
away
{\ADD{
some
of
the
}}people
after
him:
he
also
perished;
and
all,
as
many
as
obeyed
him,
were
scattered
abroad.
\VS{38}And
now
I
say
unto
you,
Refrain
from
these
men,
and
let
them
alone:
for
if
this
counsel
or
this
work
be
of
men,
it
will
be
overthrown:
\VS{39}but
if
it
is
of
God,
ye
will
not
be
able
to
overthrow
them;
lest
haply
ye
be
found
even
to
be
fighting
against
God.
\VS{40}And
to
him
they
agreed:
and
when
they
had
called
the apostles
unto
them,
they
beat
them
and
charged
them
not
to
speak
in
the
name
of
Jesus,
and
let
them
go.
\VS{41}They
therefore
departed
from
the
presence
of
the
council,
rejoicing
that
they
were
counted
worthy
to
suffer
dishonour
for
the
Name.
\VS{42}And
every
day,
in
the
temple
and
at
home,
they
ceased
not
to
teach
and
to
preach
Jesus
{\ADD{
as
}}the
Christ.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
in
these
days,
when
the
number
of
the
disciples
was
multiplying,
there
arose
a
murmuring
of
the Grecian
Jews
against
the
Hebrews,
because
their
widows
were
neglected
in
the
daily
ministration.
\VS{2}And
the
twelve
called
the
multitude
of
the
disciples
unto
them,
and
said,
It
is
not
fit
that
we
should
forsake
the
word
of
God,
and
serve
tables.
\VS{3}Look
ye
out
therefore,
brethren,
from
among
you
seven
men
of
good
report,
full
of
the
Spirit
and
of
wisdom,
whom
we
may
appoint
over
this
business.
\VS{4}But
we
will
continue
stedfastly
in
prayer,
and
in
the
ministry
of
the
word.
\VS{5}And
the
saying
pleased
the
whole
multitude:
and
they
chose
Stephen,
a
man
full
of
faith
and
of
the
Holy
Spirit,
and
Philip,
and
Prochorus,
and
Nicanor,
and
Timon,
and
Parmenas,
and
Nicolas
a
proselyte
of Antioch:
\VS{6}whom
they
set
before
the apostles:
and
when
they
had
prayed,
they
laid
their
hands
on
them.
\VS{7}And
the
word
of
God
increased;
and
the
number
of
the
disciples
multiplied
in
Jerusalem
exceedingly;
and
a
great
company
of
the
priests
were
obedient
to
the
faith.
\VS{8}And
Stephen,
full
of
grace
and
power,
wrought
great
wonders
and
signs
among
the
people.
\VS{9}But
there
arose
certain
of
them
that
were
of
the
synagogue
called
{\ADD{
the
synagogue
}}of
the
Libertines,
and
of
the
Cyrenians,
and
of
the Alexandrians,
and
of
them
of
Cilicia
and
Asia,
disputing
with
Stephen.
\VS{10}And
they
were
not
able
to
withstand
the
wisdom
and
the
Spirit
by
which
he
spake.
\VS{11}Then
they
suborned
men,
which
said,
We
have
heard
him
speak blasphemous
words
against
Moses,
and
{\ADD{
against
}}God.
\VS{12}And
they
stirred
up
the
people,
and
the
elders,
and
the
scribes,
and
came
upon
him,
and
seized
him,
and
brought
him
into
the
council,
\VS{13}and
set
up
false
witnesses,
which
said,
This
man
ceaseth
not
to
speak
words
against
this
holy
place,
and
the
law:
\VS{14}for
we
have
heard
him
say,
that
this
Jesus
of
Nazareth
shall
destroy
this
place,
and
shall
change
the
customs
which
Moses
delivered
unto
us.
\VS{15}And
all
that
sat
in
the
council, fastening
their
eyes
on
him,
saw
his
face
as
it
had
been
the
face
of
an
angel.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
high
priest
said,
Are
these
things
so?
\VS{2}And
he
said,
Brethren
and
fathers,
hearken.
The
God
of
glory
appeared
unto
our
father
Abraham,
when
he
was
in
Mesopotamia,
before
he
dwelt
in
Haran,
\VS{3}and
said
unto
him,
Get
thee
out
of
thy
land,
and
from
thy
kindred,
and
come
into
the
land
which
I
shall
shew
thee.
\VS{4}Then
came
he
out
of
the
land
of
the Chaldaeans,
and
dwelt
in
Haran:
and
from
thence,
when
his
father
was
dead,
{\ADD{
God
}}removed
him
into
this
land,
wherein
ye
now
dwell:
\VS{5}and
he
gave
him
none
inheritance
in
it,
no,
not
so
much
as
to
set
his
foot
on:
and
he
promised
that
he
would
give
it
to
him
in
possession,
and
to
his
seed
after
him,
when
{\ADD{
as
yet
}}he
had
no
child.
\VS{6}And
God
spake
on
this
wise,
that
his
seed
should
sojourn
in
a
strange
land,
and
that
they
should
bring
them
into
bondage,
and
entreat
them
evil,
four
hundred
years.
\VS{7}And
the
nation
to
which
they
shall
be
in
bondage
will
I
judge,
said
God:
and
after
that
shall
they
come
forth,
and
serve
me
in
this
place.
\VS{8}And
he
gave
him
the
covenant
of
circumcision:
and
so
{\ADD{
Abraham
}}begat
Isaac,
and
circumcised
him
the
eighth
day;
and
Isaac
{\ADD{
begat
}}Jacob,
and
Jacob
the
twelve
patriarchs.
\VS{9}And
the
patriarchs,
moved
with
jealousy
against
Joseph,
sold
him
into
Egypt:
and
God
was
with
him,
\VS{10}and
delivered
him
out
of
all
his
afflictions,
and
gave
him
favour
and
wisdom
before
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt;
and
he
made
him
governor
over
Egypt
and
all
his
house.
\VS{11}Now
there
came
a
famine
over
all
Egypt
and
Canaan,
and
great
affliction:
and
our
fathers
found
no
sustenance.
\VS{12}But
when
Jacob
heard
that
there
was
corn
in
Egypt,
he
sent
forth
our
fathers
the
first
time.
\VS{13}And
at
the
second
time
Joseph
was
made
known
to
his
brethren;
and
Joseph’s
race
became
manifest
unto
Pharaoh.
\VS{14}And
Joseph
sent,
and
called
to
him
Jacob
his
father,
and
all
his
kindred,
threescore
and
fifteen
souls.
\VS{15}And
Jacob
went
down
into
Egypt;
and
he
died,
himself,
and
our
fathers;
\VS{16}and
they
were
carried
over
unto
Shechem,
and
laid
in
the
tomb
that
Abraham
bought
for
a
price
in
silver
of
the
sons
of
Hamor
in
Shechem.
\VS{17}But
as
the
time
of
the
promise
drew
nigh,
which
God vouchsafed
unto
Abraham,
the
people
grew
and
multiplied
in
Egypt,
\VS{18}till
there
arose
another
king
over
Egypt,
which
knew
not
Joseph.
\VS{19}The
same
dealt
subtilly
with
our
race,
and
evil
entreated
our
fathers,
that
they
should
cast
out
their
babes
to
the
end
they
might
not
live.
\VS{20}At
which
season
Moses
was
born,
and
was
exceeding
fair;
and
he
was
nourished
three
months
in
his
father’s
house:
\VS{21}and
when
he
was
cast
out,
Pharaoh’s
daughter
took
him
up,
and
nourished
him
for
her
own
son.
\VS{22}And
Moses
was
instructed
in
all
the
wisdom
of
the
Egyptians;
and
he
was
mighty
in
his
words
and
works.
\VS{23}But
when
he
was well-nigh
forty
years
old,
it
came
into
his
heart
to
visit
his
brethren
the
children
of
Israel.
\VS{24}And
seeing
one
{\ADD{
of
them
}}suffer
wrong,
he
defended
him,
and
avenged
him
that
was
oppressed,
smiting
the
Egyptian:
\VS{25}and
he
supposed
that
his
brethren
understood
how
that
God
by
his
hand
was
giving
them
deliverance;
but
they
understood
not.
\VS{26}And
the
day
following
he
appeared
unto
them
as
they
strove,
and
would
have
set
them
at
one
again,
saying, Sirs,
ye
are
brethren;
why
do
ye
wrong
one
to
another?
\VS{27}But
he
that
did
his
neighbour
wrong
thrust
him
away,
saying,
Who
made
thee
a
ruler
and
a
judge
over
us?
\VS{28}Wouldest
thou
kill
me,
as
thou
killedst
the
Egyptian
yesterday?
\VS{29}And
Moses
fled
at
this
saying,
and
became
a
sojourner
in
the
land
of
Midian,
where
he
begat
two
sons.
\VS{30}And
when
forty
years
were
fulfilled,
an
angel
appeared
to
him
in
the
wilderness
of
mount
Sinai,
in
a
flame
of
fire
in
a
bush.
\VS{31}And
when
Moses
saw
it,
he
wondered
at
the
sight:
and
as
he
drew
near
to
behold,
there
came
a
voice
of
the
Lord,
\VS{32}I
am
the
God
of
thy
fathers,
the
God
of
Abraham,
and
of
Isaac,
and
of
Jacob.
And
Moses
trembled,
and
durst
not
behold.
\VS{33}And
the
Lord
said
unto
him,
Loose
the
shoes
from
thy
feet:
for
the
place
whereon
thou
standest
is
holy
ground.
\VS{34}I
have
surely
seen
the
affliction
of
my
people
which
is
in
Egypt,
and
have
heard
their
groaning,
and
I
am
come
down
to
deliver
them:
and
now
come,
I
will
send
thee
into
Egypt.
\VS{35}This
Moses
whom
they
refused,
saying,
Who
made
thee
a
ruler
and
a
judge?
him
hath
God
sent
{\ADD{
to
be
}}both
a
ruler
and
a
deliverer
with
the
hand
of
the
angel
which
appeared
to
him
in
the
bush.
\VS{36}This
man
led
them
forth,
having
wrought
wonders
and
signs
in
Egypt,
and
in
the
Red
sea,
and
in
the
wilderness
forty
years.
\VS{37}This
is
that
Moses,
which
said
unto
the
children
of
Israel,
A
prophet
shall
God
raise
up
unto
you
from
among
your
brethren,
like
unto
me.
\VS{38}This
is
he
that
was
in
the
church
in
the
wilderness
with
the
angel
which
spake
to
him
in
the
mount
Sinai,
and
with
our
fathers:
who
received
living
oracles
to
give
unto
us:
\VS{39}to
whom
our
fathers
would
not
be
obedient,
but
thrust
him
from
them,
and
turned
back
in
their
hearts
unto
Egypt,
\VS{40}saying
unto
Aaron,
Make
us
gods
which
shall
go
before
us:
for
as
for
this
Moses,
which
led
us
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
we
wot
not
what
is
become
of
him.
\VS{41}And
they
made
a
calf
in
those
days,
and
brought
a
sacrifice
unto
the
idol,
and
rejoiced
in
the
works
of
their
hands.
\VS{42}But
God
turned,
and
gave
them
up
to
serve
the
host
of
heaven;
as
it
is
written
in
the
book
of
the
prophets,
Did
ye
offer
unto
me
slain
beasts
and
sacrifices
Forty
years
in
the
wilderness,
O
house
of
Israel?
\VS{43}And
ye
took
up
the
tabernacle
of
Moloch,
And
the
star
of
the
god
Rephan,
The
figures
which
ye
made
to
worship
them:
And
I
will
carry
you
away
beyond
Babylon.
\VS{44}Our
fathers
had
the
tabernacle
of
the
testimony
in
the
wilderness,
even
as
he
appointed
who
spake
unto
Moses,
that
he
should
make
it
according
to
the
figure
that
he
had
seen.
\VS{45}Which
also
our
fathers,
in
their
turn,
brought
in
with
Joshua
when
they
entered
on
the
possession
of
the
nations,
which
God
thrust
out
before
the
face
of
our
fathers,
unto
the
days
of
David;
\VS{46}who
found
favour
in
the
sight
of
God,
and
asked
to
find
a
habitation
for
the
God
of
Jacob.
\VS{47}But
Solomon
built
him
a
house.
\VS{48}Howbeit
the
Most
High
dwelleth
not
in
{\ADD{
houses
}}made
with
hands;
as
saith
the
prophet,
\VS{49}The
heaven
is
my
throne,
And
the
earth
the
footstool
of
my
feet:
What
manner
of
house
will
ye
build
me?
saith
the
Lord:
Or
what
is
the
place
of
my
rest?
\VS{50}Did
not
my
hand
make
all
these
things?
\VS{51}Ye
stiffnecked
and
uncircumcised
in
heart
and
ears,
ye
do
always
resist
the
Holy
Ghost:
as
your
fathers
did,
so
do
ye.
\VS{52}Which
of
the
prophets
did
not
your
fathers
persecute?
and
they
killed
them
which
shewed
before
of
the
coming
of
the
Righteous
One;
of
whom
ye
have
now
become
betrayers
and
murderers;
\VS{53}ye
who
received
the
law
as
it
was
ordained
by
angels,
and
kept
it
not.
\VS{54}Now
when
they
heard
these
things,
they
were
cut
to
the
heart,
and
they
gnashed
on
him
with
their
teeth.
\VS{55}But
he,
being
full
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
looked
up
stedfastly
into
heaven,
and
saw
the
glory
of
God,
and
Jesus
standing
on
the
right
hand
of
God,
\VS{56}and
said,
Behold,
I
see
the
heavens
opened,
and
the
Son
of
man
standing
on
the
right
hand
of
God.
\VS{57}But
they
cried
out
with
a
loud
voice,
and
stopped
their
ears,
and
rushed
upon
him
with
one
accord;
\VS{58}and
they
cast
him
out
of
the
city,
and
stoned
him:
and
the
witnesses
laid
down
their
garments
at
the
feet
of
a
young
man
named
Saul.
\VS{59}And
they
stoned
Stephen,
calling
upon
{\ADD{
the
Lord}},
and
saying,
Lord
Jesus,
receive
my
spirit.
\VS{60}And
he
kneeled
down,
and
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
Lord,
lay
not
this
sin
to
their
charge.
And
when
he
had
said
this,
he
fell
asleep.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Saul
was
consenting
unto
his
death.
And
there
arose
on
that
day
a
great
persecution
against
the
church
which
was
in
Jerusalem;
and
they
were
all
scattered
abroad
throughout
the
regions
of
Judaea
and
Samaria,
except
the apostles.
\VS{2}And
devout
men
buried
Stephen,
and
made
great
lamentation
over
him.
\VS{3}But
Saul
laid
waste
the
church,
entering
into
every
house,
and
haling
men
and
women
committed
them
to
prison.
\VS{4}They
therefore
that
were
scattered
abroad
went
about
preaching
the
word.
\VS{5}And
Philip
went
down
to
the
city
of
Samaria,
and
proclaimed
unto
them
the
Christ.
\VS{6}And
the
multitudes
gave
heed
with
one
accord
unto
the
things
that
were
spoken
by
Philip,
when
they
heard,
and
saw
the
signs
which
he
did.
\VS{7}For
{\ADD{
from
}}many
of
those
which
had
unclean
spirits,
they
came
out,
crying
with
a
loud
voice:
and
many
that
were palsied,
and
that
were
lame,
were
healed.
\VS{8}And
there
was
much
joy
in
that
city.
\VS{9}But
there
was
a
certain
man,
Simon
by
name,
which
beforetime
in
the
city
used
sorcery,
and
amazed
the
people
of
Samaria,
giving
out
that
himself
was
some
great
one:
\VS{10}to
whom
they
all
gave
heed,
from
the
least
to
the
greatest,
saying,
This
man
is
that
power
of
God
which
is
called
Great.
\VS{11}And
they
gave
heed
to
him,
because
that
of
long
time
he
had
amazed
them
with
his
sorceries.
\VS{12}But
when
they
believed
Philip
preaching
good
tidings
concerning
the
kingdom
of
God
and
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ,
they
were baptized,
both
men
and
women.
\VS{13}And
Simon
also
himself
believed:
and
being baptized,
he
continued
with
Philip;
and
beholding
signs
and
great
miracles
wrought,
he
was
amazed.
\VS{14}Now
when
the apostles
which
were
at
Jerusalem
heard
that
Samaria
had
received
the
word
of
God,
they
sent
unto
them
Peter
and
John:
\VS{15}who,
when
they
were
come
down,
prayed
for
them,
that
they
might
receive
the
Holy
Ghost:
\VS{16}for
as
yet
he
was
fallen
upon
none
of
them:
only
they
had
been baptized
into
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus.
\VS{17}Then
laid
they
their
hands
on
them,
and
they
received
the
Holy
Ghost.
\VS{18}Now
when
Simon
saw
that
through
the
laying
on
of
the apostles’
hands
the
Holy
Ghost
was
given,
he
offered
them
money,
\VS{19}saying,
Give
me
also
this
power,
that
on
whomsoever
I
lay
my
hands,
he
may
receive
the
Holy
Ghost.
\VS{20}But
Peter
said
unto
him,
Thy
silver
perish
with
thee,
because
thou
hast
thought
to
obtain
the
gift
of
God
with
money.
\VS{21}Thou
hast
neither
part
nor
lot
in
this
matter:
for
thy
heart
is
not
right
before
God.
\VS{22}Repent
therefore
of
this
thy
wickedness,
and
pray
the
Lord,
if
perhaps
the
thought
of
thy
heart
shall
be
forgiven
thee.
\VS{23}For
I
see
that
thou
art
in
the
gall
of
bitterness
and
in
the
bond
of
iniquity.
\VS{24}And
Simon
answered
and
said,
Pray
ye
for
me
to
the
Lord,
that
none
of
the
things
which
ye
have
spoken
come
upon
me.
\VS{25}They
therefore,
when
they
had
testified
and
spoken
the
word
of
the
Lord,
returned
to
Jerusalem,
and
preached
the
gospel
to
many
villages
of
the
Samaritans.
\VS{26}But
an
angel
of
the
Lord
spake
unto
Philip,
saying,
Arise,
and
go
toward
the
south
unto
the
way
that
goeth
down
from
Jerusalem
unto
Gaza:
the
same
is
desert.
\VS{27}And
he
arose
and
went:
and
behold,
a
man
of
Ethiopia,
a
eunuch
of
great
authority
under
Candace,
queen
of
the
Ethiopians,
who
was
over
all
her
treasure,
who
had
come
to
Jerusalem
for
to
worship;
\VS{28}and
he
was
returning
and
sitting
in
his
chariot,
and
was
reading
the
prophet
Isaiah.
\VS{29}And
the
Spirit
said
unto
Philip,
Go
near,
and
join
thyself
to
this
chariot.
\VS{30}And
Philip
ran
to
him,
and
heard
him
reading
Isaiah
the
prophet,
and
said,
Understandest
thou
what
thou readest?
\VS{31}And
he
said,
How
can
I,
except
some
one
shall
guide
me?
And
he
besought
Philip
to
come
up
and
sit
with
him.
\VS{32}Now
the
place
of
the
scripture
which
he
was
reading
was
this,
He
was
led
as
a
sheep
to
the
slaughter;
And
as
a
lamb
before
his
shearer
is
dumb,
So
he
openeth
not
his
mouth:
\VS{33}In
his
humiliation
his
judgment
was
taken
away:
His
generation
who
shall
declare?
For
his
life
is
taken
from
the
earth.
\VS{34}And
the
eunuch
answered
Philip,
and
said,
I
pray
thee,
of
whom
speaketh
the
prophet
this?
of
himself,
or
of
some
other?
\VS{35}And
Philip
opened
his
mouth,
and
beginning
from
this
scripture,
preached
unto
him
Jesus.
\VS{36}And
as
they
went
on
the
way,
they
came
unto
a
certain
water;
and
the
eunuch
saith,
Behold,
{\ADD{
here
is
}}water;
what
doth
hinder
me
to
be baptized?
\VS{37}\FTNT{*}{{\FR 8:37 }
Some ancient authorities insert, wholly or in part, ver. 37
And Phillip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.}
\VS{38}And
he
commanded
the
chariot
to
stand
still:
and
they
both
went
down
into
the
water,
both
Philip
and
the
eunuch;
and
he baptized
him.
\VS{39}And
when
they
came
up
out
of
the
water,
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
caught
away
Philip;
and
the
eunuch
saw
him
no
more,
for
he
went
on
his
way
rejoicing.
\VS{40}But
Philip
was
found
at Azotus:
and
passing
through
he
preached
the
gospel
to
all
the
cities,
till
he
came
to
Caesarea.

\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
Saul,
yet
breathing threatening
and
slaughter
against
the
disciples
of
the
Lord,
went
unto
the
high
priest,
\VS{2}and
asked
of
him
letters
to
Damascus
unto
the
synagogues,
that
if
he
found
any
that
were
of
the
Way,
whether
men
or
women,
he
might
bring
them
bound
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{3}And
as
he
journeyed,
it
came
to
pass
that
he
drew
nigh
unto
Damascus:
and
suddenly
there
shone
round
about
him
a
light
out
of
heaven:
\VS{4}and
he
fell
upon
the
earth,
and
heard
a
voice
saying
unto
him,
Saul,
Saul,
why
persecutest
thou
me?
\VS{5}And
he
said,
Who
art
thou,
Lord?
And
he
{\ADD{
said}},
I
am
Jesus
whom
thou
persecutest:
\VS{6}but
rise,
and
enter
into
the
city,
and
it
shall
be
told
thee
what
thou
must
do.
\VS{7}And
the
men
that
journeyed
with
him
stood
speechless,
hearing
the
voice,
but
beholding
no
man.
\VS{8}And
Saul
arose
from
the
earth;
and
when
his
eyes
were
opened,
he
saw
nothing;
and
they
led
him
by
the
hand,
and
brought
him
into
Damascus.
\VS{9}And
he
was
three
days
without
sight,
and
did
neither
eat
nor
drink.
\VS{10}Now
there
was
a
certain
disciple
at
Damascus,
named Ananias;
and
the
Lord
said
unto
him
in
a
vision, Ananias.
And
he
said,
Behold,
I

}}unto
him,
Arise,
and
go
to
the
street
which
is
called
Straight,
and
inquire
in
the
house
of
Judas
for
one
named
Saul,
a
man
of
Tarsus:
for
behold,
he
prayeth;
\VS{12}and
he
hath
seen
a
man
named Ananias
coming
in,
and
laying
his
hands
on
him,
that
he
might
receive
his
sight.
\VS{13}But Ananias
answered,
Lord,
I
have
heard
from
many
of
this
man,
how
much
evil
he
did
to
thy
saints
at
Jerusalem:
\VS{14}and
here
he
hath
authority
from
the
chief
priests
to
bind
all
that
call
upon
thy
name.
\VS{15}But
the
Lord
said
unto
him,
Go
thy
way:
for
he
is
a
chosen
vessel
unto
me,
to
bear
my
name
before
the
Gentiles
and
kings,
and
the
children
of
Israel:
\VS{16}for
I
will
shew
him
how
many
things
he
must
suffer
for
my
name’s
sake.
\VS{17}And Ananias
departed,
and
entered
into
the
house;
and
laying
his
hands
on
him
said,
Brother
Saul,
the
Lord,
{\ADD{
even
}}Jesus,
who
appeared
unto
thee
in
the
way
which
thou
camest,
hath
sent
me,
that
thou
mayest
receive
thy
sight,
and
be
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost.
\VS{18}And
straightway
there
fell
from
his
eyes
as
it
were
scales,
and
he
received
his
sight;
and
he
arose
and
was baptized;
\VS{19}and
he
took
food
and
was
strengthened.
And
he
was
certain
days
with
the
disciples
which
were
at
Damascus.
\VS{20}And
straightway
in
the
synagogues
he
proclaimed
Jesus,
that
he
is
the
Son
of
God.
\VS{21}And
all
that
heard
him
were
amazed,
and
said,
Is
not
this
he
that
in
Jerusalem
made havock
of
them
which
called
on
this
name?
and
he
had
come
hither
for
this
intent,
that
he
might
bring
them
bound
before
the
chief
priests.
\VS{22}But
Saul
increased
the
more
in
strength,
and
confounded
the
Jews
which
dwelt
at
Damascus,
proving
that
this
is
the
Christ.
\VS{23}And
when
many
days
were
fulfilled,
the
Jews
took
counsel
together
to
kill
him:
\VS{24}but
their
plot
became
known
to
Saul.
And
they
watched
the
gates
also
day
and
night
that
they
might
kill
him:
\VS{25}but
his
disciples
took
him
by
night,
and
let
him
down
through
the
wall,
lowering
him
in
a
basket.
\VS{26}And
when
he
was
come
to
Jerusalem,
he
assayed
to
join
himself
to
the
disciples:
and
they
were
all
afraid
of
him,
not
believing
that
he
was
a
disciple.
\VS{27}But Barnabas
took
him,
and
brought
him
to
the apostles,
and
declared
unto
them
how
he
had
seen
the
Lord
in
the
way,
and
that
he
had
spoken
to
him,
and
how
at
Damascus
he
had
preached
boldly
in
the
name
of
Jesus.
\VS{28}And
he
was
with
them
going
in
and
going
out
at
Jerusalem,
\VS{29}preaching
boldly
in
the
name
of
the
Lord:
and
he
spake
and
disputed
against
the Grecian
Jews;
but
they
went
about
to
kill
him.
\VS{30}And
when
the
brethren
knew
it,
they
brought
him
down
to
Caesarea,
and
sent
him
forth
to
Tarsus.
\VS{31}So
the
church
throughout
all
Judaea
and
Galilee
and
Samaria
had
peace,
being
edified;
and,
walking
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
and
in
the
comfort
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
was
multiplied.
\VS{32}And
it
came
to
pass,
as
Peter
went
throughout
all
parts,
he
came
down
also
to
the
saints
which
dwelt
at
Lydda.
\VS{33}And
there
he
found
a
certain
man
named AEneas,
which
had
kept
his
bed
eight
years;
for
he
was palsied.
\VS{34}And
Peter
said
unto
him, AEneas,
Jesus
Christ
healeth
thee:
arise,
and
make
thy
bed.
And
straightway
he
arose.
\VS{35}And
all
that
dwelt
at
Lydda
and
in
Sharon
saw
him,
and
they
turned
to
the
Lord.
\VS{36}Now
there
was
at
Joppa
a
certain
disciple
named
Tabitha,
which
by
interpretation
is
called
Dorcas:
this
woman
was
full
of
good
works
and
almsdeeds
which
she
did.
\VS{37}And
it
came
to
pass
in
those
days,
that
she
fell
sick,
and
died:
and
when
they
had
washed
her,
they
laid
her
in
an
upper
chamber.
\VS{38}And
as
Lydda
was
nigh
unto
Joppa,
the
disciples,
hearing
that
Peter
was
there,
sent
two
men
unto
him, entreating
him,
Delay
not
to
come
on
unto
us.
\VS{39}And
Peter
arose
and
went
with
them.
And
when
he
was
come,
they
brought
him
into
the
upper
chamber:
and
all
the
widows
stood
by
him
weeping,
and
shewing
the
coats
and
garments
which
Dorcas
made,
while
she
was
with
them.
\VS{40}But
Peter
put
them
all
forth,
and
kneeled
down,
and
prayed;
and
turning
to
the
body,
he
said,
Tabitha,
arise.
And
she
opened
her
eyes;
and
when
she
saw
Peter,
she
sat
up.
\VS{41}And
he
gave
her
his
hand,
and
raised
her
up;
and
calling
the
saints
and
widows,
he
presented
her
alive.
\VS{42}And
it
became
known
throughout
all
Joppa:
and
many
believed
on
the
Lord.
\VS{43}And
it
came
to
pass,
that
he
abode
many
days
in
Joppa
with
one
Simon
a
tanner.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
{\ADD{
there
was
}}a
certain
man
in
Caesarea,
Cornelius
by
name,
a
centurion
of
the
band
called
the
Italian
band,
\VS{2}a
devout
man,
and
one
that
feared
God
with
all
his
house,
who
gave
much
alms
to
the
people,
and
prayed
to
God
alway.
\VS{3}He
saw
in
a
vision
openly,
as
it
were
about
the
ninth
hour
of
the
day,
an
angel
of
God
coming
in
unto
him,
and
saying
to
him,
Cornelius.
\VS{4}And
he, fastening
his
eyes
upon
him,
and
being
affrighted,
said,
What
is
it,
Lord?
And
he
said
unto
him,
Thy
prayers
and
thine
alms
are
gone
up
for
a
memorial
before
God.
\VS{5}And
now
send
men
to
Joppa,
and
fetch
one
Simon,
who
is
surnamed
Peter:
\VS{6}he
lodgeth
with
one
Simon
a
tanner,
whose
house
is
by
the
sea
side.
\VS{7}And
when
the
angel
that
spake
unto
him
was
departed,
he
called
two
of
his household-servants,
and
a
devout
soldier
of
them
that
waited
on
him
continually;
\VS{8}and
having
rehearsed
all
things
unto
them,
he
sent
them
to
Joppa.
\VS{9}Now
on
the
morrow,
as
they
were
on
their
journey,
and
drew
nigh
unto
the
city,
Peter
went
up
upon
the
housetop
to
pray,
about
the
sixth
hour:
\VS{10}and
he
became
hungry,
and
desired
to
eat:
but
while
they
made
ready,
he
fell
into
a
trance;
\VS{11}and
he
beholdeth
the
heaven
opened,
and
a
certain
vessel
descending,
as
it
were
a
great
sheet,
let
down
by
four
corners
upon
the
earth:
\VS{12}wherein
were
all
manner
of
fourfooted
beasts
and
creeping
things
of
the
earth
and
fowls
of
the
heaven.
\VS{13}And
there
came
a
voice
to
him,
Rise,
Peter;
kill
and
eat.
\VS{14}But
Peter
said,
Not
so,
Lord;
for
I
have
never
eaten
anything
that
is
common
and
unclean.
\VS{15}And
a
voice
{\ADD{
came
}}unto
him
again
the
second
time,
What
God
hath
cleansed,
make
not
thou
common.
\VS{16}And
this
was
done
thrice:
and
straightway
the
vessel
was
received
up
into
heaven.
\VS{17}Now
while
Peter
was
much
perplexed
in
himself
what
the
vision
which
he
had
seen
might
mean,
behold,
the
men
that
were
sent
by
Cornelius,
having
made
inquiry
for
Simon’s
house,
stood
before
the
gate,
\VS{18}and
called
and
asked
whether
Simon,
which
was
surnamed
Peter,
were
lodging
there.
\VS{19}And
while
Peter
thought
on
the
vision,
the
Spirit
said
unto
him,
Behold,
three
men
seek
thee.
\VS{20}But
arise,
and
get
thee
down,
and
go
with
them,
nothing
doubting:
for
I
have
sent
them.
\VS{21}And
Peter
went
down
to
the
men,
and
said,
Behold,
I
am
he
whom
ye
seek:
what
is
the
cause
wherefore
ye
are
come?
\VS{22}And
they
said,
Cornelius
a
centurion,
a
righteous
man
and
one
that
feareth
God,
and
well
reported
of
by
all
the
nation
of
the
Jews,
was
warned
{\ADD{
of
God
}}by
a
holy
angel
to
send
for
thee
into
his
house,
and
to
hear
words
from
thee.
\VS{23}So
he
called
them
in
and
lodged
them.
And
on
the
morrow
he
arose
and
went
forth
with
them,
and
certain
of
the
brethren
from
Joppa
accompanied
him.
\VS{24}And
on
the
morrow
they
entered
into
Caesarea.
And
Cornelius
was
waiting
for
them,
having
called
together
his
kinsmen
and
his
near
friends.
\VS{25}And
when
it
came
to
pass
that
Peter
entered,
Cornelius
met
him,
and
fell
down
at
his
feet,
and
worshipped
him.
\VS{26}But
Peter
raised
him
up,
saying,
Stand
up;
I
myself
also
am
a
man.
\VS{27}And
as
he
talked
with
him,
he
went
in,
and
findeth
many
come
together:
\VS{28}and
he
said
unto
them,
Ye
yourselves
know
how
that
it
is
an unlawful
thing
for
a
man
that
is
a
Jew
to
join
himself
or
come
unto
one
of
another
nation;
and
{\ADD{
yet
}}unto
me
hath
God
shewed
that
I
should
not
call
any
man
common
or
unclean:
\VS{29}wherefore
also
I
came
without gainsaying,
when
I
was
sent
for.
I
ask
therefore
with
what
intent
ye
sent
for
me.
\VS{30}And
Cornelius
said,
Four
days
ago,
until
this
hour,
I
was
keeping
the
ninth
hour
of
prayer
in
my
house;
and
behold,
a
man
stood
before
me
in
bright
apparel,
\VS{31}and
saith,
Cornelius,
thy
prayer
is
heard,
and
thine
alms
are
had
in
remembrance
in
the
sight
of
God.
\VS{32}Send
therefore
to
Joppa,
and
call
unto
thee
Simon,
who
is
surnamed
Peter;
he
lodgeth
in
the
house
of
Simon
a
tanner,
by
the
sea
side.
\VS{33}Forthwith
therefore
I
sent
to
thee;
and
thou
hast
well
done
that
thou
art
come.
Now
therefore
we
are
all
here
present
in
the
sight
of
God,
to
hear
all
things
that
have
been
commanded
thee
of
the
Lord.
\VS{34}And
Peter
opened
his
mouth,
and
said,
Of
a
truth
I
perceive
that
God
is
no respecter
of
persons:
\VS{35}but
in
every
nation
he
that
feareth
him,
and
worketh
righteousness,
is
acceptable
to
him.
\VS{36}The
word
which
he
sent
unto
the
children
of
Israel,
preaching
good
tidings
of
peace
by
Jesus
Christ (he
is
Lord
of
all)—
\VS{37}that
saying
ye
yourselves
know,
which
was
published
throughout
all
Judaea,
beginning
from
Galilee,
after
the baptism
which
John
preached;
\VS{38}{\ADD{
even
}}Jesus
of
Nazareth,
how
that
God
anointed
him
with
the
Holy
Ghost
and
with
power:
who
went
about
doing
good,
and
healing
all
that
were
oppressed
of
the
devil;
for
God
was
with
him.
\VS{39}And
we
are
witnesses
of
all
things
which
he
did
both
in
the
country
of
the
Jews,
and
in
Jerusalem;
whom
also
they
slew,
hanging
him
on
a
tree.
\VS{40}Him
God
raised
up
the
third
day,
and
gave
him
to
be
made
manifest,
\VS{41}not
to
all
the
people,
but
unto
witnesses
that
were
chosen
before
of
God,
{\ADD{
even
}}to
us,
who
did
eat
and
drink
with
him
after
he
rose
from
the
dead.
\VS{42}And
he
charged
us
to
preach
unto
the
people,
and
to
testify
that
this
is
he
which
is
ordained
of
God
{\ADD{
to
be
}}the
Judge
of
quick
and
dead.
\VS{43}To
him
bear
all
the
prophets
witness,
that
through
his
name
every
one
that
believeth
on
him
shall
receive
remission
of
sins.
\VS{44}While
Peter
yet
spake
these
words,
the
Holy
Ghost
fell
on
all
them
which
heard
the
word.
\VS{45}And
they
of
the
circumcision
which
believed
were
amazed,
as
many
as
came
with
Peter,
because
that
on
the
Gentiles
also
was
poured
out
the
gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost.
\VS{46}For
they
heard
them
speak
with
tongues,
and
magnify
God.
Then
answered
Peter,
\VS{47}Can
any
man
forbid
the
water,
that
these
should
not
be baptized,
which
have
received
the
Holy
Ghost
as
well
as
we?
\VS{48}And
he
commanded
them
to
be baptized
in
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ.
Then
prayed
they
him
to
tarry
certain
days.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
the apostles
and
the
brethren
that
were
in
Judaea
heard
that
the
Gentiles
also
had
received
the
word
of
God.
\VS{2}And
when
Peter
was
come
up
to
Jerusalem,
they
that
were
of
the
circumcision
contended
with
him,
\VS{3}saying,
Thou
wentest
in
to
men
uncircumcised,
and
didst
eat
with
them.
\VS{4}But
Peter
began,
and
expounded
{\ADD{
the
matter
}}unto
them
in
order,
saying,
\VS{5}I
was
in
the
city
of
Joppa
praying:
and
in
a
trance
I
saw
a
vision,
a
certain
vessel
descending,
as
it
were
a
great
sheet
let
down
from
heaven
by
four
corners;
and
it
came
even
unto
me:
\VS{6}upon
the
which
when
I
had
fastened
mine
eyes,
I
considered,
and
saw
the
fourfooted
beasts
of
the
earth
and
wild
beasts
and
creeping
things
and
fowls
of
the
heaven.
\VS{7}And
I
heard
also
a
voice
saying
unto
me,
Rise,
Peter;
kill
and
eat.
\VS{8}But
I
said,
Not
so,
Lord:
for
nothing
common
or
unclean
hath
ever
entered
into
my
mouth.
\VS{9}But
a
voice
answered
the
second
time
out
of
heaven,
What
God
hath
cleansed,
make
not
thou
common.
\VS{10}And
this
was
done
thrice:
and
all
were
drawn
up
again
into
heaven.
\VS{11}And
behold,
forthwith
three
men
stood
before
the
house
in
which
we
were,
having
been
sent
from
Caesarea
unto
me.
\VS{12}And
the
Spirit
bade
me
go
with
them,
making
no
distinction.
And
these
six
brethren
also
accompanied
me;
and
we
entered
into
the
man’s
house:
\VS{13}and
he
told
us
how
he
had
seen
the
angel
standing
in
his
house,
and
saying,
Send
to
Joppa,
and
fetch
Simon,
whose
surname
is
Peter;
\VS{14}who
shall
speak
unto
thee
words,
whereby
thou
shalt
be
saved,
thou
and
all
thy
house.
\VS{15}And
as
I
began
to
speak,
the
Holy
Ghost
fell
on
them,
even
as
on
us
at
the
beginning.
\VS{16}And
I
remembered
the
word
of
the
Lord,
how
that
he
said,
John
indeed baptized
with
water;
but
ye
shall
be baptized
with
the
Holy
Ghost.
\VS{17}If
then
God
gave
unto
them
the
like
gift
as
{\ADD{
he
did
}}also
unto
us,
when
we
believed
on
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
who
was
I,
that
I
could
withstand
God?
\VS{18}And
when
they
heard
these
things,
they
held
their
peace,
and
glorified
God,
saying,
Then
to
the
Gentiles
also
hath
God
granted
repentance
unto
life.
\VS{19}They
therefore
that
were
scattered
abroad
upon
the
tribulation
that
arose
about
Stephen
travelled
as
far
as
Phoenicia,
and
Cyprus,
and Antioch,
speaking
the
word
to
none
save
only
to
Jews.
\VS{20}But
there
were
some
of
them,
men
of
Cyprus
and
Cyrene,
who,
when
they
were
come
to Antioch,
spake
unto
the
Greeks
also,
preaching
the
Lord
Jesus.
\VS{21}And
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
with
them:
and
a
great
number
that
believed
turned
unto
the
Lord.
\VS{22}And
the
report
concerning
them
came
to
the
ears
of
the
church
which
was
in
Jerusalem:
and
they
sent
forth Barnabas
as
far
as Antioch:
\VS{23}who,
when
he
was
come,
and
had
seen
the
grace
of
God,
was
glad;
and
he
exhorted
them
all,
that
with
purpose
of
heart
they
would
cleave
unto
the
Lord:
\VS{24}for
he
was
a
good
man,
and
full
of
the
Holy
Ghost
and
of
faith:
and
much
people
was
added
unto
the
Lord.
\VS{25}And
he
went
forth
to
Tarsus
to
seek
for
Saul:
\VS{26}and
when
he
had
found
him,
he
brought
him
unto Antioch.
And
it
came
to
pass,
that
even
for
a
whole
year
they
were
gathered
together
with
the
church,
and
taught
much
people;
and
that
the
disciples
were
called
Christians
first
in Antioch.
\VS{27}Now
in
these
days
there
came
down
prophets
from
Jerusalem
unto Antioch.
\VS{28}And
there
stood
up
one
of
them
named Agabus,
and
signified
by
the
Spirit
that
there
should
be
a
great
famine
over
all
the
world:
which
came
to
pass
in
the
days
of
Claudius.
\VS{29}And
the
disciples,
every
man
according
to
his
ability,
determined
to
send
relief
unto
the
brethren
that
dwelt
in
Judaea:
\VS{30}which
also
they
did,
sending
it
to
the
elders
by
the
hand
of Barnabas
and
Saul.

\par }\Chap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
about
that
time
Herod
the
king
put
forth
his
hands
to
afflict
certain
of
the
church.
\VS{2}And
he
killed
James
the
brother
of
John
with
the
sword.
\VS{3}And
when
he
saw
that
it
pleased
the
Jews,
he
proceeded
to
seize
Peter
also.
And
{\ADD{
those
}}were
the
days
of
unleavened
bread.
\VS{4}And
when
he
had
taken
him,
he
put
him
in
prison,
and
delivered
him
to
four
quaternions
of
soldiers
to
guard
him;
intending
after
the
Passover
to
bring
him
forth
to
the
people.
\VS{5}Peter
therefore
was
kept
in
the
prison:
but
prayer
was
made
earnestly
of
the
church
unto
God
for
him.
\VS{6}And
when
Herod
was
about
to
bring
him
forth,
the
same
night
Peter
was
sleeping
between
two
soldiers,
bound
with
two
chains:
and
guards
before
the
door
kept
the
prison.
\VS{7}And
behold,
an
angel
of
the
Lord
stood
by
him,
and
a
light
shined
in
the
cell:
and
he
smote
Peter
on
the
side,
and
awoke
him,
saying,
Rise
up
quickly.
And
his
chains
fell
off
from
his
hands.
\VS{8}And
the
angel
said
unto
him,
Gird
thyself,
and
bind
on
thy
sandals.
And
he
did
so.
And
he
saith
unto
him,
Cast
thy
garment
about
thee,
and
follow
me.
\VS{9}And
he
went
out,
and
followed;
and
he
wist
not
that
it
was
true
which
was
done
by
the
angel,
but
thought
he
saw
a
vision.
\VS{10}And
when
they
were
past
the
first
and
the
second
ward,
they
came
unto
the
iron
gate
that
leadeth
into
the
city;
which
opened
to
them
of
its
own
accord:
and
they
went
out,
and
passed
on
through
one
street;
and
straightway
the
angel
departed
from
him.
\VS{11}And
when
Peter
was
come
to
himself,
he
said,
Now
I
know
of
a
truth,
that
the
Lord
hath
sent
forth
his
angel
and
delivered
me
out
of
the
hand
of
Herod,
and
from
all
the
expectation
of
the
people
of
the
Jews.
\VS{12}And
when
he
had
considered
{\ADD{
the
thing}},
he
came
to
the
house
of
Mary
the
mother
of
John
whose
surname
was
Mark;
where
many
were
gathered
together
and
were
praying.
\VS{13}And
when
he
knocked
at
the
door
of
the
gate,
a
maid
came
to
answer,
named
Rhoda.
\VS{14}And
when
she
knew
Peter’s
voice,
she
opened
not
the
gate
for
joy,
but
ran
in,
and
told
that
Peter
stood
before
the
gate.
\VS{15}And
they
said
unto
her,
Thou
art
mad.
But
she
confidently
affirmed
that
it
was
even
so.
And
they
said,
It
is
his
angel.
\VS{16}But
Peter
continued
knocking:
and
when
they
had
opened,
they
saw
him,
and
were
amazed.
\VS{17}But
he,
beckoning
unto
them
with
the
hand
to
hold
their
peace,
declared
unto
them
how
the
Lord
had
brought
him
forth
out
of
the
prison.
And
he
said,
Tell
these
things
unto
James,
and
to
the
brethren.
And
he
departed,
and
went
to
another
place.
\VS{18}Now
as
soon
as
it
was
day,
there
was
no
small
stir
among
the
soldiers,
what
was
become
of
Peter.
\VS{19}And
when
Herod
had
sought
for
him,
and
found
him
not,
he
examined
the
guards,
and
commanded
that
they
should
be
put
to
death.
And
he
went
down
from
Judaea
to
Caesarea,
and
tarried
there.
\VS{20}Now
he
was
highly
displeased
with
them
of
Tyre
and
Sidon:
and
they
came
with
one
accord
to
him,
and,
having
made Blastus
the
king’s
chamberlain
their
friend,
they
asked
for
peace,
because
their
country
was
fed
from
the
king’s
country.
\VS{21}And
upon
a
set
day
Herod
arrayed
himself
in
royal
apparel,
and
sat
on
the
throne,
and
made
an
oration
unto
them.
\VS{22}And
the
people
shouted,
{\ADD{
saying}},
The
voice
of
a
god,
and
not
of
a
man.
\VS{23}And
immediately
an
angel
of
the
Lord
smote
him,
because
he
gave
not
God
the
glory:
and
he
was
eaten
of
worms,
and
gave
up
the
ghost.
\VS{24}But
the
word
of
God
grew
and
multiplied.
\VS{25}And Barnabas
and
Saul
returned
from
Jerusalem,
when
they
had
fulfilled
their
ministration,
taking
with
them
John
whose
surname
was
Mark.

\par }\Chap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
there
were
at Antioch,
in
the
church
that
was
{\ADD{
there}},
prophets
and
teachers, Barnabas,
and Symeon
that
was
called
Niger,
and
Lucius
of
Cyrene,
and
Manaen
the foster-brother
of
Herod
the
tetrarch,
and
Saul.
\VS{2}And
as
they
ministered
to
the
Lord,
and
fasted,
the
Holy
Ghost
said,
Separate
me Barnabas
and
Saul
for
the
work
whereunto
I
have
called
them.
\VS{3}Then,
when
they
had
fasted
and
prayed
and
laid
their
hands
on
them,
they
sent
them
away.
\VS{4}So
they,
being
sent
forth
by
the
Holy
Ghost,
went
down
to
Seleucia;
and
from
thence
they
sailed
to
Cyprus.
\VS{5}And
when
they
were
at
Salamis,
they
proclaimed
the
word
of
God
in
the
synagogues
of
the
Jews:
and
they
had
also
John
as
their
attendant.
\VS{6}And
when
they
had
gone
through
the
whole
island
unto
Paphos,
they
found
a
certain
sorcerer,
a
false
prophet,
a
Jew,
whose
name
was Bar-Jesus;
\VS{7}which
was
with
the proconsul,
Sergius
Paulus,
a
man
of
understanding.
The
same
called
unto
him Barnabas
and
Saul,
and
sought
to
hear
the
word
of
God.
\VS{8}But
Elymas
the
sorcerer (for
so
is
his
name
by
interpretation)
withstood
them,
seeking
to
turn
aside
the proconsul
from
the
faith.
\VS{9}But
Saul,
who
is
also
{\ADD{
called
}}Paul,
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost,
fastened
his
eyes
on
him,
\VS{10}and
said,
O
full
of
all
guile
and
all
villany,
thou
son
of
the
devil,
thou
enemy
of
all
righteousness,
wilt
thou
not
cease
to
pervert
the
right
ways
of
the
Lord?
\VS{11}And
now,
behold,
the
hand
of
the
Lord
is
upon
thee,
and
thou
shalt
be
blind,
not
seeing
the
sun
for
a
season.
And
immediately
there
fell
on
him
a
mist
and
a
darkness;
and
he
went
about
seeking
some
to
lead
him
by
the
hand.
\VS{12}Then
the proconsul,
when
he
saw
what
was
done,
believed,
being
astonished
at
the
teaching
of
the
Lord.
\VS{13}Now
Paul
and
his
company
set
sail
from
Paphos,
and
came
to
Perga
in
Pamphylia:
and
John
departed
from
them
and
returned
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{14}But
they,
passing
through
from
Perga,
came
to Antioch
of
Pisidia;
and
they
went
into
the
synagogue
on
the
sabbath
day,
and
sat
down.
\VS{15}And
after
the
reading
of
the
law
and
the
prophets
the
rulers
of
the synagogue
sent
unto
them,
saying,
Brethren,
if
ye
have
any
word
of
exhortation
for
the
people,
say
on.
\VS{16}And
Paul
stood
up,
and
beckoning
with
the
hand
said,
Men
of
Israel,
and
ye
that
fear
God,
hearken.
\VS{17}The
God
of
this
people
Israel
chose
our
fathers,
and
exalted
the
people
when
they
sojourned
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
with
a
high
arm
led
he
them
forth
out
of
it.
\VS{18}And
for
about
the
time
of
forty
years
suffered
he
their
manners
in
the
wilderness.
\VS{19}And
when
he
had
destroyed
seven
nations
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
he
gave
{\ADD{
them
}}their
land
for
an
inheritance,
for
about
four
hundred
and
fifty
years:
\VS{20}and
after
these
things
he
gave
{\ADD{
them
}}judges
until
Samuel
the
prophet.
\VS{21}And
afterward
they
asked
for
a
king:
and
God
gave
unto
them
Saul
the
son
of
Kish,
a
man
of
the
tribe
of
Benjamin,
for
the
space
of
forty
years.
\VS{22}And
when
he
had
removed
him,
he
raised
up
David
to
be
their
king;
to
whom
also
he
bare
witness,
and
said,
I
have
found
David
the
son
of
Jesse,
a
man
after
my
heart,
who
shall
do
all
my
will.
\VS{23}Of
this
man’s
seed
hath
God
according
to
promise
brought
unto
Israel
a
Saviour,
Jesus;
\VS{24}when
John
had
first
preached
before
his
coming
the baptism
of
repentance
to
all
the
people
of
Israel.
\VS{25}And
as
John
was
fulfilling
his
course,
he
said,
What
suppose
ye
that
I
am?
I
am
not
{\ADD{
he}}.
But
behold,
there
cometh
one
after
me,
the
shoes
of
whose
feet
I
am
not
worthy
to
unloose.
\VS{26}Brethren,
children
of
the
stock
of
Abraham,
and
those
among
you
that
fear
God,
to
us
is
the
word
of
this
salvation
sent
forth.
\VS{27}For
they
that
dwell
in
Jerusalem,
and
their
rulers,
because
they
knew
him
not,
nor
the
voices
of
the
prophets
which
are
read
every
sabbath,
fulfilled
{\ADD{
them
}}by
condemning
{\ADD{
him}}.
\VS{28}And
though
they
found
no
cause
of
death
{\ADD{
in
him}},
yet
asked
they
of
Pilate
that
he
should
be
slain.
\VS{29}And
when
they
had
fulfilled
all
things
that
were
written
of
him,
they
took
him
down
from
the
tree,
and
laid
him
in
a
tomb.
\VS{30}But
God
raised
him
from
the
dead:
\VS{31}and
he
was
seen
for
many
days
of
them
that
came
up
with
him
from
Galilee
to
Jerusalem,
who
are
now
his
witnesses
unto
the
people.
\VS{32}And
we
bring
you
good
tidings
of
the
promise
made
unto
the
fathers,
\VS{33}how
that
God
hath
fulfilled
the
same
unto
our
children,
in
that
he
raised
up
Jesus;
as
also
it
is
written
in
the
second
psalm,
Thou
art
my
Son,
this
day
have
I
begotten
thee.
\VS{34}And
as
concerning
that
he
raised
him
up
from
the
dead,
now
no
more
to
return
to
corruption,
he
hath
spoken
on
this
wise,
I
will
give
you
the
holy
and
sure
{\ADD{
blessings
}}of
David.
\VS{35}Because
he
saith
also
in
another
{\ADD{
psalm}},
Thou
wilt
not
give
thy
Holy
One
to
see
corruption.
\VS{36}For
David,
after
he
had
in
his
own
generation
served
the
counsel
of
God,
fell
on
sleep,
and
was
laid
unto
his
fathers,
and
saw
corruption:
\VS{37}but
he
whom
God
raised
up
saw
no
corruption.
\VS{38}Be
it
known
unto
you
therefore,
brethren,
that
through
this
man
is
proclaimed
unto
you
remission
of
sins:
\VS{39}and
by
him
every
one
that
believeth
is
justified
from
all
things,
from
which
ye
could
not
be
justified
by
the
law
of
Moses.
\VS{40}Beware
therefore,
lest
that
come
upon
{\ADD{
you}},
which
is
spoken
in
the
prophets;
\VS{41}Behold,
ye
despisers,
and
wonder,
and
perish;
For
I
work
a
work
in
your
days,
A
work
which
ye
shall
in
no
wise
believe,
if
one
declare
it
unto
you.
\VS{42}And
as
they
went
out,
they
besought
that
these
words
might
be
spoken
to
them
the
next
sabbath.
\VS{43}Now
when
the
synagogue
broke
up,
many
of
the
Jews
and
of
the
devout
proselytes
followed
Paul
and Barnabas:
who,
speaking
to
them,
urged
them
to
continue
in
the
grace
of
God.
\VS{44}And
the
next
sabbath
almost
the
whole
city
was
gathered
together
to
hear
the
word
of
God.
\VS{45}But
when
the
Jews
saw
the
multitudes,
they
were
filled
with
jealousy,
and contradicted
the
things
which
were
spoken
by
Paul,
and
blasphemed.
\VS{46}And
Paul
and Barnabas
spake
out
boldly,
and
said,
It
was
necessary
that
the
word
of
God
should
first
be
spoken
to
you.
Seeing
ye
thrust
it
from
you,
and
judge
yourselves
unworthy
of
eternal
life,
lo,
we
turn
to
the
Gentiles.
\VS{47}For
so
hath
the
Lord
commanded
us,
{\ADD{
saying}},
I
have
set
thee
for
a
light
of
the
Gentiles,
That
thou shouldest
be
for
salvation
unto
the
uttermost
part
of
the
earth.
\VS{48}And
as
the
Gentiles
heard
this,
they
were
glad,
and
glorified
the
word
of
God:
and
as
many
as
were
ordained
to
eternal
life
believed.
\VS{49}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
was
spread
abroad
throughout
all
the
region.
\VS{50}But
the
Jews
urged
on
the
devout
women
of
honourable
estate,
and
the
chief
men
of
the
city,
and
stirred
up
a
persecution
against
Paul
and Barnabas,
and
cast
them
out
of
their
borders.
\VS{51}But
they
shook
off
the
dust
of
their
feet
against
them,
and
came
unto
Iconium.
\VS{52}And
the
disciples
were
filled
with
joy
and
with
the
Holy
Ghost.

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
in
Iconium,
that
they
entered
together
into
the
synagogue
of
the
Jews,
and
so
spake,
that
a
great
multitude
both
of
Jews
and
of
Greeks
believed.
\VS{2}But
the
Jews
that
were
disobedient
stirred
up
the
souls
of
the
Gentiles,
and
made
them
evil
affected
against
the
brethren.
\VS{3}Long
time
therefore
they
tarried
{\ADD{
there
}}speaking
boldly
in
the
Lord,
which
bare
witness
unto
the
word
of
his
grace,
granting
signs
and
wonders
to
be
done
by
their
hands.
\VS{4}But
the
multitude
of
the
city
was
divided;
and
part
held
with
the
Jews,
and
part
with
the apostles.
\VS{5}And
when
there
was
made
an onset
both
of
the
Gentiles
and
of
the
Jews
with
their
rulers,
to
entreat
them
shamefully,
and
to
stone
them,
\VS{6}they
became
aware
of
it,
and
fled
unto
the
cities
of
Lycaonia,
Lystra
and
Derbe,
and
the
region
round
about:
\VS{7}and
there
they
preached
the
gospel.
\VS{8}And
at
Lystra
there
sat
a
certain
man,
impotent
in
his
feet,
a
cripple
from
his
mother’s
womb,
who
never
had
walked.
\VS{9}The
same
heard
Paul
speaking:
who, fastening
his
eyes
upon
him,
and
seeing
that
he
had
faith
to
be
made
whole,
\VS{10}said
with
a
loud
voice,
Stand
upright
on
thy
feet.
And
he
leaped
up
and
walked.
\VS{11}And
when
the
multitudes
saw
what
Paul
had
done,
they
lifted
up
their
voice,
saying
in
the
speech
of
Lycaonia,
The
gods
are
come
down
to
us
in
the
likeness
of
men.
\VS{12}And
they
called Barnabas,
Jupiter;
and
Paul, Mercury,
because
he
was
the
chief
speaker.
\VS{13}And
the
priest
of
Jupiter
whose
{\ADD{
temple
}}was
before
the
city,
brought
oxen
and
garlands
unto
the
gates,
and
would
have
done
sacrifice
with
the
multitudes.
\VS{14}But
when
the apostles, Barnabas
and
Paul,
heard
of
it,
they
rent
their
garments,
and
sprang
forth
among
the
multitude,
crying
out
\VS{15}and
saying, Sirs,
why
do
ye
these
things?
We
also
are
men
of
like
passions
with
you,
and
bring
you
good
tidings,
that
ye
should
turn
from
these
vain
things
unto
the
living
God,
who
made
the
heaven
and
the
earth
and
the
sea,
and
all
that
in
them
is:
\VS{16}who
in
the
generations
gone
by
suffered
all
the
nations
to
walk
in
their
own
ways.
\VS{17}And
yet
he
left
not
himself
without
witness,
in
that
he
did
good,
and
gave
you
from
heaven
rains
and
fruitful
seasons,
filling
your
hearts
with
food
and
gladness.
\VS{18}And
with
these
sayings
scarce
restrained
they
the
multitudes
from
doing
sacrifice
unto
them.
\VS{19}But
there
came
Jews
thither
from Antioch
and
Iconium:
and
having
persuaded
the
multitudes,
they
stoned
Paul,
and
dragged
him
out
of
the
city,
supposing
that
he
was
dead.
\VS{20}But
as
the
disciples
stood
round
about
him,
he
rose
up,
and
entered
into
the
city:
and
on
the
morrow
he
went
forth
with Barnabas
to
Derbe.
\VS{21}And
when
they
had
preached
the
gospel
to
that
city,
and
had
made
many
disciples,
they
returned
to
Lystra,
and
to
Iconium,
and
to Antioch,
\VS{22}confirming
the
souls
of
the
disciples,
exhorting
them
to
continue
in
the
faith,
and
that
through
many
tribulations
we
must
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
God.
\VS{23}And
when
they
had
appointed
for
them
elders
in
every
church,
and
had
prayed
with
fasting,
they
commended
them
to
the
Lord,
on
whom
they
had
believed.
\VS{24}And
they
passed
through
Pisidia,
and
came
to
Pamphylia.
\VS{25}And
when
they
had
spoken
the
word
in
Perga,
they
went
down
to Attalia;
\VS{26}and
thence
they
sailed
to Antioch,
from
whence
they
had
been
committed
to
the
grace
of
God
for
the
work
which
they
had
fulfilled.
\VS{27}And
when
they
were
come,
and
had
gathered
the
church
together,
they
rehearsed
all
things
that
God
had
done
with
them,
and
how
that
he
had
opened
a
door
of
faith
unto
the
Gentiles.
\VS{28}And
they
tarried
no
little
time
with
the
disciples.

\par }\Chap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
certain
men
came
down
from
Judaea
and
taught
the
brethren,
{\ADD{
saying}},
Except
ye
be
circumcised
after
the
custom
of
Moses,
ye
cannot
be
saved.
\VS{2}And
when
Paul
and Barnabas
had
no
small
dissension
and questioning
with
them,
{\ADD{
the
brethren
}}appointed
that
Paul
and Barnabas,
and
certain
other
of
them,
should
go
up
to
Jerusalem
unto
the apostles
and
elders
about
this
question.
\VS{3}They
therefore,
being
brought
on
their
way
by
the
church,
passed
through
both
Phoenicia
and
Samaria,
declaring
the
conversion
of
the
Gentiles:
and
they
caused
great
joy
unto
all
the
brethren.
\VS{4}And
when
they
were
come
to
Jerusalem,
they
were
received
of
the
church
and
the apostles
and
the
elders,
and
they
rehearsed
all
things
that
God
had
done
with
them.
\VS{5}But
there
rose
up
certain
of
the sect
of
the
Pharisees
who
believed,
saying,
It
is
needful
to
circumcise
them,
and
to
charge
them
to
keep
the
law
of
Moses.
\VS{6}And
the apostles
and
the
elders
were
gathered
together
to
consider
of
this
matter.
\VS{7}And
when
there
had
been
much questioning,
Peter
rose
up,
and
said
unto
them,
Brethren,
ye
know
how
that
a
good
while
ago
God
made
choice
among
you,
that
by
my
mouth
the
Gentiles
should
hear
the
word
of
the
gospel,
and
believe.
\VS{8}And
God,
which
knoweth
the
heart,
bare
them
witness,
giving
them
the
Holy
Ghost,
even
as
he
did
unto
us;
\VS{9}and
he
made
no
distinction
between
us
and
them,
cleansing
their
hearts
by
faith.
\VS{10}Now
therefore
why
tempt
ye
God,
that
ye
should
put
a
yoke
upon
the
neck
of
the
disciples,
which
neither
our
fathers
nor
we
were
able
to
bear?
\VS{11}But
we
believe
that
we
shall
be
saved
through
the
grace
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
in
like
manner
as
they.
\VS{12}And
all
the
multitude
kept
silence;
and
they
hearkened
unto Barnabas
and
Paul rehearsing
what
signs
and
wonders
God
had
wrought
among
the
Gentiles
by
them.
\VS{13}And
after
they
had
held
their
peace,
James
answered,
saying,
Brethren,
hearken
unto
me:
\VS{14}Symeon
hath
rehearsed
how
first
God
did
visit
the
Gentiles,
to
take
out
of
them
a
people
for
his
name.
\VS{15}And
to
this
agree
the
words
of
the
prophets;
as
it
is
written,
\VS{16}After
these
things
I
will
return,
And
I
will
build
again
the
tabernacle
of
David,
which
is
fallen;
And
I
will
build
again
the
ruins
thereof,
And
I
will
set
it
up:
\VS{17}That
the
residue
of
men
may
seek
after
the
Lord,
And
all
the
Gentiles,
upon
whom
my
name
is
called,
\VS{18}Saith
the
Lord,
who
maketh
these
things
known
from
the
beginning
of
the
world.
\VS{19}Wherefore
my
judgment
is,
that
we
trouble
not
them
which
from
among
the
Gentiles
turn
to
God;
\VS{20}but
that
we
write
unto
them,
that
they
abstain
from
the pollutions
of
idols,
and
from
fornication,
and
from
what
is
strangled,
and
from
blood.
\VS{21}For
Moses
from
generations
of
old
hath
in
every
city
them
that
preach
him,
being
read
in
the
synagogues
every
sabbath.
\VS{22}Then
it
seemed
good
to
the apostles
and
the
elders,
with
the
whole
church,
to
choose
men
out
of
their
company,
and
send
them
to Antioch
with
Paul
and Barnabas;
{\ADD{
namely}},
Judas
called Barsabbas,
and
Silas,
chief
men
among
the
brethren:
\VS{23}and
they
wrote
{\ADD{
thus
}}by
them,
The apostles
and
the
elder
brethren
unto
the
brethren
which
are
of
the
Gentiles
in Antioch
and
Syria
and
Cilicia,
greeting:
\VS{24}Forasmuch
as
we
have
heard
that
certain
which
went
out
from
us
have
troubled
you
with
words, subverting
your
souls;
to
whom
we
gave
no
commandment;
\VS{25}it
seemed
good
unto
us,
having
come
to
one
accord,
to
choose
out
men
and
send
them
unto
you
with
our
beloved Barnabas
and
Paul,
\VS{26}men
that
have
hazarded
their
lives
for
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{27}We
have
sent
therefore
Judas
and
Silas,
who
themselves
also
shall
tell
you
the
same
things
by
word
of
mouth.
\VS{28}For
it
seemed
good
to
the
Holy
Ghost,
and
to
us,
to
lay
upon
you
no
greater
burden
than
these
necessary
things;
\VS{29}that
ye
abstain
from
things
sacrificed
to
idols,
and
from
blood,
and
from
things
strangled,
and
from
fornication;
from
which
if
ye
keep
yourselves,
it
shall
be
well
with
you.
Fare
ye
well.
\VS{30}So
they,
when
they
were
dismissed,
came
down
to Antioch;
and
having
gathered
the
multitude
together,
they
delivered
the
epistle.
\VS{31}And
when
they
had
read
it,
they
rejoiced
for
the
consolation.
\VS{32}And
Judas
and
Silas,
being
themselves
also
prophets,
exhorted
the
brethren
with
many
words,
and
confirmed
them.
\VS{33}And
after
they
had
spent
some
time
{\ADD{
there}},
they
were
dismissed
in
peace
from
the
brethren
unto
those
that
had
sent
them
forth.
\VS{34}\FTNT{*}{{\FR 15:34 }
Some ancient authorities insert, with variations, ver. 34
But it seemed good unto Silas to abide there.}
\VS{35}But
Paul
and Barnabas
tarried
in Antioch,
teaching
and
preaching
the
word
of
the
Lord,
with
many
others
also.
\VS{36}And
after
some
days
Paul
said
unto Barnabas,
Let
us
return
now
and
visit
the
brethren
in
every
city
wherein
we
proclaimed
the
word
of
the
Lord,
{\ADD{
and
see
}}how
they
fare.
\VS{37}And Barnabas
was
minded
to
take
with
them
John
also,
who
was
called
Mark.
\VS{38}But
Paul
thought
not
good
to
take
with
them
him
who
withdrew
from
them
from
Pamphylia,
and
went
not
with
them
to
the
work.
\VS{39}And
there
arose
a
sharp
contention,
so
that
they
parted
asunder
one
from
the
other,
and Barnabas
took
Mark
with
him,
and
sailed
away
unto
Cyprus;
\VS{40}but
Paul
chose
Silas,
and
went
forth,
being
commended
by
the
brethren
to
the
grace
of
the
Lord.
\VS{41}And
he
went
through
Syria
and
Cilicia,
confirming
the
churches.

\par }\Chap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
came
also
to
Derbe
and
to
Lystra:
and
behold,
a
certain
disciple
was
there,
named
Timothy,
the
son
of
a
Jewess
which
believed;
but
his
father
was
a
Greek.
\VS{2}The
same
was
well
reported
of
by
the
brethren
that
were
at
Lystra
and
Iconium.
\VS{3}Him
would
Paul
have
to
go
forth
with
him;
and
he
took
and
circumcised
him
because
of
the
Jews
that
were
in
those
parts:
for
they
all
knew
that
his
father
was
a
Greek.
\VS{4}And
as
they
went
on
their
way
through
the
cities,
they
delivered
them
the
decrees
for
to
keep,
which
had
been
ordained
of
the apostles
and
elders
that
were
at
Jerusalem.
\VS{5}So
the
churches
were
strengthened
in
the
faith,
and
increased
in
number
daily.
\VS{6}And
they
went
through
the
region
of
Phrygia
and
Galatia,
having
been
forbidden
of
the
Holy
Ghost
to
speak
the
word
in
Asia;
\VS{7}and
when
they
were
come
over
against
Mysia,
they
assayed
to
go
into Bithynia;
and
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
suffered
them
not;
\VS{8}and
passing
by
Mysia,
they
came
down
to
Troas.
\VS{9}And
a
vision
appeared
to
Paul
in
the
night;
There
was
a
man
of
Macedonia
standing,
beseeching
him,
and
saying,
Come
over
into
Macedonia,
and
help
us.
\VS{10}And
when
he
had
seen
the
vision,
straightway
we
sought
to
go
forth
into
Macedonia,
concluding
that
God
had
called
us
for
to
preach
the
gospel
unto
them.
\VS{11}Setting
sail
therefore
from
Troas,
we
made
a
straight
course
to
Samothrace,
and
the
day
following
to
Neapolis;
\VS{12}and
from
thence
to
Philippi,
which
is
a
city
of
Macedonia,
the
first
of
the
district,
a
{\ADD{Roman
}}colony:
and
we
were
in
this
city
tarrying
certain
days.
\VS{13}And
on
the
sabbath
day
we
went
forth
without
the
gate
by
a
river
side,
where
we
supposed
there
was
a
place
of
prayer;
and
we
sat
down,
and
spake
unto
the
women
which
were
come
together.
\VS{14}And
a
certain
woman
named
Lydia,
a
seller
of
purple,
of
the
city
of
Thyatira,
one
that
worshipped
God,
heard
us:
whose
heart
the
Lord
opened,
to
give
heed
unto
the
things
which
were
spoken
by
Paul.
\VS{15}And
when
she
was baptized,
and
her
household,
she
besought
us,
saying,
If
ye
have
judged
me
to
be
faithful
to
the
Lord,
come
into
my
house,
and
abide
{\ADD{
there}}.
And
she
constrained
us.
\VS{16}And
it
came
to
pass,
as
we
were
going
to
the
place
of
prayer,
that
a
certain
maid
having
a
spirit
of
divination
met
us,
which
brought
her
masters
much
gain
by
soothsaying.
\VS{17}The
same
following
after
Paul
and
us
cried
out,
saying,
These
men
are
servants
of
the
Most
High
God,
which
proclaim
unto
you
the
way
of
salvation.
\VS{18}And
this
she
did
for
many
days.
But
Paul,
being
sore
troubled,
turned
and
said
to
the
spirit,
I
charge
thee
in
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ
to
come
out
of
her.
And
it
came
out
that
very
hour.
\VS{19}But
when
her
masters
saw
that
the
hope
of
their
gain
was
gone,
they
laid
hold
on
Paul
and
Silas,
and
dragged
them
into
the marketplace
before
the
rulers,
\VS{20}and
when
they
had
brought
them
unto
the
magistrates,
they
said,
These
men,
being
Jews,
do
exceedingly
trouble
our
city,
\VS{21}and
set
forth
customs
which
it
is
not
lawful
for
us
to
receive,
or
to
observe,
being
Romans.
\VS{22}And
the
multitude
rose
up
together
against
them:
and
the
magistrates
rent
their
garments
off
them,
and
commanded
to
beat
them
with
rods.
\VS{23}And
when
they
had
laid
many
stripes
upon
them,
they
cast
them
into
prison,
charging
the
jailor
to
keep
them
safely:
\VS{24}who,
having
received
such
a
charge,
cast
them
into
the
inner
prison,
and
made
their
feet
fast
in
the
stocks.
\VS{25}But
about
midnight
Paul
and
Silas
were
praying
and
singing
hymns
unto
God,
and
the
prisoners
were
listening
to
them;
\VS{26}and
suddenly
there
was
a
great
earthquake,
so
that
the
foundations
of
the prison-house
were
shaken:
and
immediately
all
the
doors
were
opened;
and
every
one’s
bands
were
loosed.
\VS{27}And
the
jailor
being
roused
out
of
sleep,
and
seeing
the
prison
doors
open,
drew
his
sword,
and
was
about
to
kill
himself,
supposing
that
the
prisoners
had
escaped.
\VS{28}But
Paul
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
saying,
Do
thyself
no
harm:
for
we
are
all
here.
\VS{29}And
he
called
for
lights,
and
sprang
in,
and,
trembling
for
fear,
fell
down
before
Paul
and
Silas,
\VS{30}And
brought
them
out,
and
said,
Sirs,
what
must
I
do
to
be
saved?
\VS{31}And
they
said,
Believe
on
the
Lord
Jesus,
and
thou
shalt
be
saved,
thou
and
thy
house.
\VS{32}And
they
spake
the
word
of
the
Lord
unto
him,
with
all
that
were
in
his
house.
\VS{33}And
he
took
them
the
same
hour
of
the
night,
and
washed
their
stripes;
and
was baptized,
he
and
all
his,
immediately.
\VS{34}And
he
brought
them
up
into
his
house,
and
set
meat
before
them,
and
rejoiced
greatly,
with
all
his
house,
having
believed
in
God.
\VS{35}But
when
it
was
day,
the
magistrates
sent
the
serjeants,
saying,
Let
those
men
go.
\VS{36}And
the
jailor
reported
the
words
to
Paul,
{\ADD{
saying}},
The
magistrates
have
sent
to
let
you
go:
now
therefore
come
forth,
and
go
in
peace.
\VS{37}But
Paul
said
unto
them,
They
have
beaten
us
publicly, uncondemned,
men
that
are
Romans,
and
have
cast
us
into
prison;
and
do
they
now
cast
us
out
privily?
nay
verily;
but
let
them
come
themselves
and
bring
us
out.
\VS{38}And
the
serjeants
reported
these
words
unto
the
magistrates:
and
they
feared,
when
they
heard
that
they
were
Romans;
\VS{39}and
they
came
and
besought
them;
and
when
they
had
brought
them
out,
they
asked
them
to
go
away
from
the
city.
\VS{40}And
they
went
out
of
the
prison,
and
entered
into
{\ADD{
the
house
of
}}Lydia:
and
when
they
had
seen
the
brethren,
they
comforted
them,
and
departed.

\par }\Chap{17}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
when
they
had
passed
through Amphipolis
and Apollonia,
they
came
to
Thessalonica,
where
was
a
synagogue
of
the
Jews:
\VS{2}and
Paul,
as
his
custom
was,
went
in
unto
them,
and
for
three
sabbath
days
reasoned
with
them
from
the
scriptures,
\VS{3}opening
and
alleging,
that
it behoved
the
Christ
to
suffer,
and
to
rise
again
from
the
dead;
and
that
this
Jesus,
whom,
{\ADD{
said
he}},
I
proclaim
unto
you,
is
the
Christ.
\VS{4}And
some
of
them
were
persuaded,
and
consorted
with
Paul
and
Silas;
and
of
the
devout
Greeks
a
great
multitude,
and
of
the
chief
women
not
a
few.
\VS{5}But
the
Jews,
being
moved
with
jealousy,
took
unto
them
certain
vile
fellows
of
the
rabble,
and
gathering
a
crowd,
set
the
city
on
an
uproar;
and assaulting
the
house
of
Jason,
they
sought
to
bring
them
forth
to
the
people.
\VS{6}And
when
they
found
them
not,
they
dragged
Jason
and
certain
brethren
before
the
rulers
of
the
city,
crying,
These
that
have
turned
the
world
upside
down
are
come
hither
also;
\VS{7}whom
Jason
hath
received:
and
these
all
act
contrary
to
the
decrees
of
Caesar,
saying
that
there
is
another
king,
{\ADD{
one
}}Jesus.
\VS{8}And
they
troubled
the
multitude
and
the
rulers
of
the
city,
when
they
heard
these
things.
\VS{9}And
when
they
had
taken
security
from
Jason
and
the
rest,
they
let
them
go.
\VS{10}And
the
brethren
immediately
sent
away
Paul
and
Silas
by
night
unto Beroea:
who
when
they
were
come
thither
went
into
the
synagogue
of
the
Jews.
\VS{11}Now
these
were
more
noble
than
those
in
Thessalonica,
in
that
they
received
the
word
with
all
readiness
of
mind, examining
the
scriptures
daily,
whether
these
things
were
so.
\VS{12}Many
of
them
therefore
believed;
also
of
the
Greek
women
of
honourable
estate,
and
of
men,
not
a
few.
\VS{13}But
when
the
Jews
of
Thessalonica
had
knowledge
that
the
word
of
God
was
proclaimed
of
Paul
at Beroea
also,
they
came
thither
likewise,
stirring
up
and
troubling
the
multitudes.
\VS{14}And
then
immediately
the
brethren
sent
forth
Paul
to
go
as
far
as
to
the
sea:
and
Silas
and
Timothy
abode
there
still.
\VS{15}But
they
that
conducted
Paul
brought
him
as
far
as Athens:
and
receiving
a
commandment
unto
Silas
and
Timothy
that
they
should
come
to
him
with
all
speed,
they
departed.
\VS{16}Now
while
Paul
waited
for
them
at Athens,
his
spirit
was
provoked
within
him,
as
he
beheld
the
city
full
of
idols.
\VS{17}So
he
reasoned
in
the
synagogue
with
the
Jews
and
the
devout
persons,
and
in
the marketplace
every
day
with
them
that
met
with
him.
\VS{18}And
certain
also
of
the
Epicurean
and
Stoic
philosophers
encountered
him.
And
some
said,
What
would
this
babbler
say?
other
some,
He
seemeth
to
be
a setter
forth
of
strange
gods:
because
he
preached
Jesus
and
the resurrection.
\VS{19}And
they
took
hold
of
him,
and
brought
him
unto
the Areopagus,
saying,
May
we
know
what
this
new
teaching
is,
which
is
spoken
by
thee?
\VS{20}For
thou
bringest
certain
strange
things
to
our
ears:
we
would
know
therefore
what
these
things
mean.
\VS{21}(Now
all
the Athenians
and
the
strangers
sojourning
there
spent
their
time
in
nothing
else,
but
either
to
tell
or
to
hear
some
new
thing.)
\VS{22}And
Paul
stood
in
the
midst
of
the Areopagus,
and
said,
Ye
men
of Athens,
in
all
things
I
perceive
that
ye
are
somewhat
superstitious.
\VS{23}For
as
I
passed
along,
and
observed
the
objects
of
your
worship,
I
found
also
an
altar
with
this
inscription,
TO
AN
UNKNOWN
GOD.
What
therefore
ye
worship
in
ignorance,
this
set
I
forth
unto
you.
\VS{24}The
God
that
made
the
world
and
all
things
therein,
he,
being
Lord
of
heaven
and
earth,
dwelleth
not
in
temples
made
with
hands;
\VS{25}neither
is
he
served
by
men’s
hands,
as
though
he
needed
anything,
seeing
he
himself
giveth
to
all
life,
and
breath,
and
all
things;
\VS{26}and
he
made
of
one
every
nation
of
men
for
to
dwell
on
all
the
face
of
the
earth,
having
determined
{\ADD{
their
}}appointed
seasons,
and
the
bounds
of
their
habitation;
\VS{27}that
they
should
seek
God,
if
haply
they
might
feel
after
him,
and
find
him,
though
he
is
not
far
from
each
one
of
us:
\VS{28}for
in
him
we
live,
and
move,
and
have
our
being;
as
certain
even
of
your
own
poets
have
said,
For
we
are
also
his
offspring.
\VS{29}Being
then
the
offspring
of
God,
we
ought
not
to
think
that
the
Godhead
is
like
unto
gold,
or
silver,
or
stone,
graven
by
art
and
device
of
man.
\VS{30}The
times
of
ignorance
therefore
God
overlooked;
but
now
he
commandeth
men
that
they
should
all
everywhere
repent:
\VS{31}inasmuch
as
he
hath
appointed
a
day,
in
the
which
he
will
judge
the
world
in
righteousness
by
the
man
whom
he
hath
ordained;
whereof
he
hath
given
assurance
unto
all
men,
in
that
he
hath
raised
him
from
the
dead.
\VS{32}Now
when
they
heard
of
the resurrection
of
the
dead,
some
mocked;
but
others
said,
We
will
hear
thee
concerning
this
yet
again.
\VS{33}Thus
Paul
went
out
from
among
them.
\VS{34}But
certain
men
clave
unto
him,
and
believed:
among
whom
also
was
Dionysius
the Areopagite,
and
a
woman
named
Damaris,
and
others
with
them.

\par }\Chap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After
these
things
he
departed
from Athens,
and
came
to
Corinth.
\VS{2}And
he
found
a
certain
Jew
named Aquila,
a
man
of
Pontus
by
race,
lately
come
from
Italy,
with
his
wife
Priscilla,
because
Claudius
had
commanded
all
the
Jews
to
depart
from
Rome:
and
he
came
unto
them;
\VS{3}and
because
he
was
of
the
same
trade,
he
abode
with
them,
and
they
wrought;
for
by
their
trade
they
were
tentmakers.
\VS{4}And
he
reasoned
in
the
synagogue
every
sabbath,
and
persuaded
Jews
and
Greeks.
\VS{5}But
when
Silas
and
Timothy
came
down
from
Macedonia,
Paul
was
constrained
by
the
word,
testifying
to
the
Jews
that
Jesus
was
the
Christ.
\VS{6}And
when
they
opposed
themselves,
and
blasphemed,
he
shook
out
his
raiment,
and
said
unto
them,
Your
blood
{\ADD{
be
}}upon
your
own
heads;
I
am
clean:
from
henceforth
I
will
go
unto
the
Gentiles.
\VS{7}And
he
departed
thence,
and
went
into
the
house
of
a
certain
man
named
Titus
Justus,
one
that
worshipped
God,
whose
house
joined
hard
to
the
synagogue.
\VS{8}And
Crispus,
the
ruler
of
the synagogue,
believed
in
the
Lord
with
all
his
house;
and
many
of
the
Corinthians
hearing
believed,
and
were baptized.
\VS{9}And
the
Lord
said
unto
Paul
in
the
night
by
a
vision,
Be
not
afraid,
but
speak,
and
hold
not
thy
peace:
\VS{10}for
I
am
with
thee,
and
no
man
shall
set
on
thee
to
harm
thee:
for
I
have
much
people
in
this
city.
\VS{11}And
he
dwelt
{\ADD{
there
}}a
year
and
six
months,
teaching
the
word
of
God
among
them.
\VS{12}But
when
Gallio
was proconsul
of Achaia,
the
Jews
with
one
accord
rose
up
against
Paul,
and
brought
him
before
the judgment-seat,
\VS{13}saying,
This
man
persuadeth
men
to
worship
God
contrary
to
the
law.
\VS{14}But
when
Paul
was
about
to
open
his
mouth,
Gallio
said
unto
the
Jews,
If
indeed
it
were
a
matter
of
wrong
or
of
wicked
villany,
O
ye
Jews,
reason
would
that
I
should
bear
with
you:
\VS{15}but
if
they
are
questions
about
words
and
names
and
your
own
law,
look
to
it
yourselves;
I
am
not
minded
to
be
a
judge
of
these
matters.
\VS{16}And
he
drave
them
from
the judgment-seat.
\VS{17}And
they
all
laid
hold
on
Sosthenes,
the
ruler
of
the synagogue,
and
beat
him
before
the judgment-seat.
And
Gallio
cared
for
none
of
these
things.
\VS{18}And
Paul,
having
tarried
after
this
yet
many
days,
took
his
leave
of
the
brethren,
and
sailed
thence
for
Syria,
and
with
him
Priscilla
and Aquila;
having
shorn
his
head
in Cenchreae:
for
he
had
a
vow.
\VS{19}And
they
came
to
Ephesus,
and
he
left
them
there:
but
he
himself
entered
into
the
synagogue,
and
reasoned
with
the
Jews.
\VS{20}And
when
they
asked
him
to
abide
a
longer
time,
he
consented
not;
\VS{21}but
taking
his
leave
of
them,
and
saying,
I
will
return
again
unto
you,
if
God
will,
he
set
sail
from
Ephesus.
\VS{22}And
when
he
had
landed
at
Caesarea,
he
went
up
and
saluted
the
church,
and
went
down
to Antioch.
\VS{23}And
having
spent
some
time
{\ADD{
there}},
he
departed,
and
went
through
the
region
of
Galatia
and
Phrygia
in
order, stablishing
all
the
disciples.
\VS{24}Now
a
certain
Jew
named Apollos,
an Alexandrian
by
race,
a
learned
man,
came
to
Ephesus;
and
he
was
mighty
in
the
scriptures.
\VS{25}This
man
had
been
instructed
in
the
way
of
the
Lord;
and
being
fervent
in
spirit,
he
spake
and
taught
carefully
the
things
concerning
Jesus,
knowing
only
the baptism
of
John:
\VS{26}and
he
began
to
speak
boldly
in
the
synagogue.
But
when
Priscilla
and Aquila
heard
him,
they
took
him
unto
them,
and
expounded
unto
him
the
way
of
God
more
carefully.
\VS{27}And
when
he
was
minded
to
pass
over
into Achaia,
the
brethren
encouraged
him,
and
wrote
to
the
disciples
to
receive
him:
and
when
he
was
come,
he
helped
them
much
which
had
believed
through
grace:
\VS{28}for
he
powerfully confuted
the
Jews,
{\ADD{
and
that
}}publicly,
shewing
by
the
scriptures
that
Jesus
was
the
Christ.

\par }\Chap{19}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass,
that,
while Apollos
was
at
Corinth,
Paul
having
passed
through
the
upper
country
came
to
Ephesus,
and
found
certain
disciples:
\VS{2}and
he
said
unto
them,
Did
ye
receive
the
Holy
Ghost
when
ye
believed?
And
they
{\ADD{
said
}}unto
him,
Nay,
we
did
not
so
much
as
hear
whether
the
Holy
Ghost
was
{\ADD{
given}}.
\VS{3}And
he
said,
Into
what
then
were
ye baptized?
And
they
said,
Into
John’s baptism.
\VS{4}And
Paul
said,
John baptized
with
the baptism
of
repentance,
saying
unto
the
people,
that
they
should
believe
on
him
which
should
come
after
him,
that
is,
on
Jesus.
\VS{5}And
when
they
heard
this,
they
were baptized
into
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus.
\VS{6}And
when
Paul
had
laid
his
hands
upon
them,
the
Holy
Ghost
came
on
them;
and
they
spake
with
tongues,
and
prophesied.
\VS{7}And
they
were
in
all
about
twelve
men.
\VS{8}And
he
entered
into
the
synagogue,
and
spake
boldly
for
the
space
of
three
months,
reasoning
and
persuading
{\ADD{
as
to
}}the
things
concerning
the
kingdom
of
God.
\VS{9}But
when
some
were
hardened
and
disobedient,
speaking
evil
of
the
Way
before
the
multitude,
he
departed
from
them,
and
separated
the
disciples,
reasoning
daily
in
the
school
of
Tyrannus.
\VS{10}And
this
continued
for
the
space
of
two
years;
so
that
all
they
which
dwelt
in
Asia
heard
the
word
of
the
Lord,
both
Jews
and
Greeks.
\VS{11}And
God
wrought
special
miracles
by
the
hands
of
Paul:
\VS{12}insomuch
that
unto
the
sick
were
carried
away
from
his
body
handkerchiefs
or
aprons,
and
the
diseases
departed
from
them,
and
the
evil
spirits
went
out.
\VS{13}But
certain
also
of
the strolling
Jews,
exorcists,
took
upon
them
to
name
over
them
which
had
the
evil
spirits
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
saying,
I
adjure
you
by
Jesus
whom
Paul
preacheth.
\VS{14}And
there
were
seven
sons
of
one
Sceva,
a
Jew,
a
chief
priest,
which
did
this.
\VS{15}And
the
evil
spirit
answered
and
said
unto
them,
Jesus
I
know,
and
Paul
I
know;
but
who
are
ye?
\VS{16}And
the
man
in
whom
the
evil
spirit
was
leaped
on
them,
and mastered
both
of
them,
and
prevailed
against
them,
so
that
they
fled
out
of
that
house
naked
and
wounded.
\VS{17}And
this
became
known
to
all,
both
Jews
and
Greeks,
that
dwelt
at
Ephesus;
and
fear
fell
upon
them
all,
and
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
was
magnified.
\VS{18}Many
also
of
them
that
had
believed
came,
confessing,
and
declaring
their
deeds.
\VS{19}And
not
a
few
of
them
that
practised
curious
arts
brought
their
books
together,
and
burned
them
in
the
sight
of
all:
and
they
counted
the
price
of
them,
and
found
it
fifty
thousand
pieces
of
silver.
\VS{20}So
mightily
grew
the
word
of
the
Lord
and
prevailed.
\VS{21}Now
after
these
things
were
ended,
Paul
purposed
in
the
spirit,
when
he
had
passed
through
Macedonia
and Achaia,
to
go
to
Jerusalem,
saying,
After
I
have
been
there,
I
must
also
see
Rome.
\VS{22}And
having
sent
into
Macedonia
two
of
them
that
ministered
unto
him,
Timothy
and
Erastus,
he
himself
stayed
in
Asia
for
a
while.
\VS{23}And
about
that
time
there
arose
no
small
stir
concerning
the
Way.
\VS{24}For
a
certain
man
named
Demetrius,
a
silversmith,
which
made
silver
shrines
of Diana,
brought
no
little
business
unto
the
craftsmen;
\VS{25}whom
he
gathered
together,
with
the
workmen
of
like
occupation,
and
said, Sirs,
ye
know
that
by
this
business
we
have
our
wealth.
\VS{26}And
ye
see
and
hear,
that
not
alone
at
Ephesus,
but
almost
throughout
all
Asia,
this
Paul
hath
persuaded
and
turned
away
much
people,
saying
that
they
be
no
gods,
which
are
made
with
hands:
\VS{27}and
not
only
is
there
danger
that
this
our
trade
come
into disrepute;
but
also
that
the
temple
of
the
great
goddess Diana
be
made
of
no
account,
and
that
she
should
even
be
deposed
from
her
magnificence,
whom
all
Asia
and
the
world
worshippeth.
\VS{28}And
when
they
heard
this,
they
were
filled
with
wrath,
and
cried
out,
saying,
Great
{\ADD{
is
}}Diana
of
the
Ephesians.
\VS{29}And
the
city
was
filled
with
the
confusion:
and
they
rushed
with
one
accord
into
the
theatre,
having
seized
Gaius
and Aristarchus,
men
of
Macedonia,
Paul’s
companions
in
travel.
\VS{30}And
when
Paul
was
minded
to
enter
in
unto
the
people,
the
disciples
suffered
him
not.
\VS{31}And
certain
also
of
the
chief
officers
of
Asia,
being
his
friends,
sent
unto
him,
and
besought
him
not
to
adventure
himself
into
the
theatre.
\VS{32}Some
therefore
cried
one
thing,
and
some
another:
for
the
assembly
was
in
confusion;
and
the
more
part
knew
not
wherefore
they
were
come
together.
\VS{33}And
they
brought Alexander
out
of
the
multitude,
the
Jews
putting
him
forward.
And Alexander
beckoned
with
the
hand,
and
would
have
made
a
defence
unto
the
people.
\VS{34}But
when
they
perceived
that
he
was
a
Jew,
all
with
one
voice
about
the
space
of
two
hours
cried
out,
Great
{\ADD{
is
}}Diana
of
the
Ephesians.
\VS{35}And
when
the
townclerk
had
quieted
the
multitude,
he
saith,
Ye
men
of
Ephesus,
what
man
is
there
who
knoweth
not
how
that
the
city
of
the
Ephesians
is temple-keeper
of
the
great Diana,
and
of
the
{\ADD{
image
}}which
fell
down
from
Jupiter?
\VS{36}Seeing
then
that
these
things
cannot
be gainsaid,
ye
ought
to
be
quiet,
and
to
do
nothing
rash.
\VS{37}For
ye
have
brought
{\ADD{
hither
}}these
men,
which
are
neither
robbers
of
temples
nor blasphemers
of
our
goddess.
\VS{38}If
therefore
Demetrius,
and
the
craftsmen
that
are
with
him,
have
a
matter
against
any
man,
the
courts
are
open,
and
there
are proconsuls:
let
them
accuse
one
another.
\VS{39}But
if
ye
seek
anything
about
other
matters,
it
shall
be
settled
in
the
regular
assembly.
\VS{40}For
indeed
we
are
in
danger
to
be
accused
concerning
this
day’s
riot,
there
being
no
cause
{\ADD{
for
it}}:
and
as
touching
it
we
shall
not
be
able
to
give
account
of
this
concourse.
\VS{41}And
when
he
had
thus
spoken,
he
dismissed
the
assembly.

\par }\Chap{20}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
after
the
uproar
was
ceased,
Paul
having
sent
for
the
disciples
and
exhorted
them,
took
leave
of
them,
and
departed
for
to
go
into
Macedonia.
\VS{2}And
when
he
had
gone
through
those
parts,
and
had
given
them
much
exhortation,
he
came
into
Greece.
\VS{3}And
when
he
had
spent
three
months
{\ADD{
there}},
and
a
plot
was
laid
against
him
by
the
Jews,
as
he
was
about
to
set
sail
for
Syria,
he
determined
to
return
through
Macedonia.
\VS{4}And
there
accompanied
him
as
far
as Asia
Sopater
of Beroea,
{\ADD{
the
son
}}of
Pyrrhus;
and
of
the
Thessalonians, Aristarchus
and
Secundus;
and
Gaius
of
Derbe,
and
Timothy;
and
of Asia,
Tychicus
and
Trophimus.
\VS{5}But
these
had
gone
before,
and
were
waiting
for
us
at
Troas.
\VS{6}And
we
sailed
away
from
Philippi
after
the
days
of
unleavened
bread,
and
came
unto
them
to
Troas
in
five
days;
where
we
tarried
seven
days.
\VS{7}And
upon
the
first
day
of
the
week,
when
we
were
gathered
together
to
break
bread,
Paul discoursed
with
them,
intending
to
depart
on
the
morrow;
and
prolonged
his
speech
until
midnight.
\VS{8}And
there
were
many
lights
in
the
upper
chamber,
where
we
were
gathered
together.
\VS{9}And
there
sat
in
the
window
a
certain
young
man
named
Eutychus,
borne
down
with
deep
sleep;
and
as
Paul discoursed
yet
longer,
being
borne
down
by
his
sleep
he
fell
down
from
the
third
story,
and
was
taken
up
dead.
\VS{10}And
Paul
went
down,
and
fell
on
him,
and
embracing
him
said,
Make
ye
no ado;
for
his
life
is
in
him.
\VS{11}And
when
he
was
gone
up,
and
had
broken
the
bread,
and
eaten,
and
had
talked
with
them
a
long
while,
even
till
break
of
day,
so
he
departed.
\VS{12}And
they
brought
the
lad
alive,
and
were
not
a
little
comforted.
\VS{13}But
we,
going
before
to
the
ship,
set
sail
for Assos,
there
intending
to
take
in
Paul:
for
so
had
he
appointed,
intending
himself
to
go
by
land.
\VS{14}And
when
he
met
us
at Assos,
we
took
him
in,
and
came
to
Mitylene.
\VS{15}And sailing
from
thence,
we
came
the
following
day
over
against
Chios;
and
the
next
day
we
touched
at
Samos;
and
the
day
after
we
came
to
Miletus.
\VS{16}For
Paul
had
determined
to
sail
past
Ephesus,
that
he
might
not
have
to
spend
time
in
Asia;
for
he
was
hastening,
if
it
were
possible
for
him,
to
be
at
Jerusalem
the
day
of
Pentecost.
\VS{17}And
from
Miletus
he
sent
to
Ephesus,
and
called
to
him
the
elders
of
the
church.
\VS{18}And
when
they
were
come
to
him,
he
said
unto
them,
Ye
yourselves
know,
from
the
first
day
that
I
set
foot
in
Asia,
after
what
manner
I
was
with
you
all
the
time,
\VS{19}serving
the
Lord
with
all
lowliness
of
mind,
and
with
tears,
and
with
trials
which
befell
me
by
the
plots
of
the
Jews:
\VS{20}how
that
I
shrank
not
from
declaring
unto
you
anything
that
was
profitable,
and
teaching
you
publicly,
and
from
house
to
house,
\VS{21}testifying
both
to
Jews
and
to
Greeks
repentance
toward
God,
and
faith
toward
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{22}And
now,
behold,
I
go
bound
in
the
spirit
unto
Jerusalem,
not
knowing
the
things
that
shall
befall
me
there:
\VS{23}save
that
the
Holy
Ghost
testifieth
unto
me
in
every
city,
saying
that
bonds
and
afflictions
abide
me.
\VS{24}But
I
hold
not
my
life
of
any
account,
as
dear
unto
myself,
so
that
I
may
accomplish
my
course,
and
the
ministry
which
I
received
from
the
Lord
Jesus,
to
testify
the
gospel
of
the
grace
of
God.
\VS{25}And
now,
behold,
I
know
that
ye
all,
among
whom
I
went
about
preaching
the
kingdom,
shall
see
my
face
no
more.
\VS{26}Wherefore
I
testify
unto
you
this
day,
that
I
am
pure
from
the
blood
of
all
men.
\VS{27}For
I
shrank
not
from
declaring
unto
you
the
whole
counsel
of
God.
\VS{28}Take
heed
unto
yourselves,
and
to
all
the
flock,
in
the
which
the
Holy
Ghost
hath
made
you
bishops,
to
feed
the
church
of
God,
which
he
purchased
with
his
own
blood.
\VS{29}I
know
that
after
my
departing
grievous
wolves
shall
enter
in
among
you,
not
sparing
the
flock;
\VS{30}and
from
among
your
own
selves
shall
men
arise,
speaking
perverse
things,
to
draw
away
the
disciples
after
them.
\VS{31}Wherefore
watch
ye,
remembering
that
by
the
space
of
three
years
I
ceased
not
to
admonish
every
one
night
and
day
with
tears.
\VS{32}And
now
I
commend
you
to
God,
and
to
the
word
of
his
grace,
which
is
able
to
build
{\ADD{
you
}}up,
and
to
give
{\ADD{
you
}}the
inheritance
among
all
them
that
are
sanctified.
\VS{33}I
coveted
no
man’s
silver,
or
gold,
or
apparel.
\VS{34}Ye
yourselves
know
that
these
hands
ministered
unto
my
necessities,
and
to
them
that
were
with
me.
\VS{35}In
all
things
I
gave
you
an
example,
how
that
so
labouring
ye
ought
to
help
the
weak,
and
to
remember
the
words
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
how
he
himself
said,
It
is
more
blessed
to
give
than
to
receive.
\VS{36}And
when
he
had
thus
spoken,
he
kneeled
down,
and
prayed
with
them
all.
\VS{37}And
they
all
wept
sore,
and
fell
on
Paul’s
neck,
and
kissed
him,
\VS{38}Sorrowing
most
of
all
for
the
word
which
he
had
spoken,
that
they
should
behold
his
face
no
more.
And
they
brought
him
on
his
way
unto
the
ship.

\par }\Chap{21}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
when
it
came
to
pass
that
we
were
parted
from
them,
and
had
set
sail,
we
came
with
a
straight
course
unto
Cos,
and
the
next
day
unto
Rhodes,
and
from
thence
unto
Patara:
\VS{2}and
having
found
a
ship
crossing
over
unto
Phoenicia,
we
went
aboard,
and
set
sail.
\VS{3}And
when
we
had
come
in
sight
of
Cyprus,
leaving
it
on
the
left
hand,
we
sailed
unto
Syria,
and
landed
at
Tyre:
for
there
the
ship
was
to unlade
her
burden.
\VS{4}And
having
found
the
disciples,
we
tarried
there
seven
days:
and
these
said
to
Paul
through
the
Spirit,
that
he
should
not
set
foot
in
Jerusalem.
\VS{5}And
when
it
came
to
pass
that
we
had
accomplished
the
days,
we
departed
and
went
on
our
journey;
and
they
all,
with
wives
and
children,
brought
us
on
our
way,
till
we
were
out
of
the
city:
and
kneeling
down
on
the beach,
we
prayed,
\VS{6}and
bade
each
other
farewell;
and
we
went
on
board
the
ship,
but
they
returned
home
again.
\VS{7}And
when
we
had
finished
the
voyage
from
Tyre,
we
arrived
at
Ptolemais;
and
we
saluted
the
brethren,
and
abode
with
them
one
day.
\VS{8}And
on
the
morrow
we
departed,
and
came
unto
Caesarea:
and
entering
into
the
house
of
Philip
the
evangelist,
who
was
one
of
the
seven,
we
abode
with
him.
\VS{9}Now
this
man
had
four
daughters,
virgins,
which
did
prophesy.
\VS{10}And
as
we
tarried
there
many
days,
there
came
down
from
Judaea
a
certain
prophet,
named Agabus.
\VS{11}And
coming
to
us,
and
taking
Paul’s
girdle,
he
bound
his
own
feet
and
hands,
and
said,
Thus
saith
the
Holy
Ghost,
So
shall
the
Jews
at
Jerusalem
bind
the
man
that owneth
this
girdle,
and
shall
deliver
him
into
the
hands
of
the
Gentiles.
\VS{12}And
when
we
heard
these
things,
both
we
and
they
of
that
place
besought
him
not
to
go
up
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{13}Then
Paul
answered,
What
do
ye,
weeping
and
breaking
my
heart?
for
I
am
ready
not
to
be
bound
only,
but
also
to
die
at
Jerusalem
for
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus.
\VS{14}And
when
he
would
not
be
persuaded,
we
ceased,
saying,
The
will
of
the
Lord
be
done.
\VS{15}And
after
these
days
we
took
up
our
baggage,
and
went
up
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{16}And
there
went
with
us
also
{\ADD{
certain
}}of
the
disciples
from
Caesarea,
bringing
{\ADD{
with
them
}}one
Mnason
of
Cyprus,
an
early
disciple,
with
whom
we
should
lodge.
\VS{17}And
when
we
were
come
to
Jerusalem,
the
brethren
received
us
gladly.
\VS{18}And
the
day
following
Paul
went
in
with
us
unto
James;
and
all
the
elders
were
present.
\VS{19}And
when
he
had
saluted
them,
he
rehearsed
one
by
one
the
things
which
God
had
wrought
among
the
Gentiles
by
his
ministry.
\VS{20}And
they,
when
they
heard
it,
glorified
God;
and
they
said
unto
him,
Thou
seest,
brother,
how
many
thousands
there
are
among
the
Jews
of
them
which
have
believed;
and
they
are
all
zealous
for
the
law:
\VS{21}and
they
have
been
informed
concerning
thee,
that
thou
teachest
all
the
Jews
which
are
among
the
Gentiles
to
forsake
Moses,
telling
them
not
to
circumcise
their
children,
neither
to
walk
after
the
customs.
\VS{22}What
is
it
therefore?
they
will
certainly
hear
that
thou
art
come.
\VS{23}Do
therefore
this
that
we
say
to
thee:
We
have
four
men
which
have
a
vow
on
them;
\VS{24}these
take,
and
purify
thyself
with
them,
and
be
at
charges
for
them,
that
they
may
shave
their
heads:
and
all
shall
know
that
there
is
no
truth
in
the
things
whereof
they
have
been
informed
concerning
thee;
but
that
thou
thyself
also
walkest
orderly,
keeping
the
law.
\VS{25}But
as
touching
the
Gentiles
which
have
believed,
we
wrote,
giving
judgment
that
they
should
keep
themselves
from
things
sacrificed
to
idols,
and
from
blood,
and
from
what
is
strangled,
and
from
fornication.
\VS{26}Then
Paul
took
the
men,
and
the
next
day
purifying
himself
with
them
went
into
the
temple,
declaring
the
fulfillment
of
the
days
of
purification,
until
the
offering
was
offered
for
every
one
of
them.
\VS{27}And
when
the
seven
days
were
almost
completed,
the
Jews
from
Asia,
when
they
saw
him
in
the
temple,
stirred
up
all
the
multitude,
and
laid
hands
on
him,
\VS{28}crying
out,
Men
of
Israel,
help:
This
is
the
man,
that
teacheth
all
men
everywhere
against
the
people,
and
the
law,
and
this
place:
and
moreover
he
brought
Greeks
also
into
the
temple,
and
hath
defiled
this
holy
place.
\VS{29}For
they
had
before
seen
with
him
in
the
city
Trophimus
the
Ephesian,
whom
they
supposed
that
Paul
had
brought
into
the
temple.
\VS{30}And
all
the
city
was
moved,
and
the
people
ran
together:
and
they
laid
hold
on
Paul,
and
dragged
him
out
of
the
temple:
and
straightway
the
doors
were
shut.
\VS{31}And
as
they
were
seeking
to
kill
him,
tidings
came
up
to
the
chief
captain
of
the
band,
that
all
Jerusalem
was
in
confusion.
\VS{32}And
forthwith
he
took
soldiers
and
centurions,
and
ran
down
upon
them:
and
they,
when
they
saw
the
chief
captain
and
the
soldiers,
left
off
beating
Paul.
\VS{33}Then
the
chief
captain
came
near,
and
laid
hold
on
him,
and
commanded
him
to
be
bound
with
two
chains;
and
inquired
who
he
was,
and
what
he
had
done.
\VS{34}And
some
shouted
one
thing,
some
another,
among
the
crowd:
and
when
he
could
not
know
the
certainty
for
the
uproar,
he
commanded
him
to
be
brought
into
the
castle.
\VS{35}And
when
he
came
upon
the
stairs,
so
it
was,
that
he
was
borne
of
the
soldiers
for
the
violence
of
the
crowd;
\VS{36}for
the
multitude
of
the
people
followed
after,
crying
out,
Away
with
him.
\VS{37}And
as
Paul
was
about
to
be
brought
into
the
castle,
he
saith
unto
the
chief
captain,
May
I
say
something
unto
thee?
And
he
said,
Dost
thou
know
Greek?
\VS{38}Art
thou
not
then
the
Egyptian,
which
before
these
days
stirred
up
to
sedition
and
led
out
into
the
wilderness
the
four
thousand
men
of
the
Assassins?
\VS{39}But
Paul
said,
I
am
a
Jew,
of
Tarsus
in
Cilicia,
a
citizen
of
no
mean
city:
and
I
beseech
thee,
give
me
leave
to
speak
unto
the
people.
\VS{40}And
when
he
had
given
him
leave,
Paul,
standing
on
the
stairs,
beckoned
with
the
hand
unto
the
people;
and
when
there
was
made
a
great
silence,
he
spake
unto
them
in
the
Hebrew
language,
saying,

\par }\Chap{22}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Brethren
and
fathers,
hear
ye
the
defence
which
I
now
make
unto
you.
\VS{2}And
when
they
heard
that
he
spake
unto
them
in
the
Hebrew
language,
they
were
the
more
quiet:
and
he
saith,
\VS{3}I
am
a
Jew,
born
in
Tarsus
of
Cilicia,
but
brought
up
in
this
city,
at
the
feet
of
Gamaliel,
instructed
according
to
the strict
manner
of
the
law
of
our
fathers,
being
zealous
for
God,
even
as
ye
all
are
this
day:
\VS{4}and
I
persecuted
this
Way
unto
the
death,
binding
and
delivering
into
prisons
both
men
and
women.
\VS{5}As
also
the
high
priest
doth
bear
me
witness,
and
all
the
estate
of
the
elders:
from
whom
also
I
received
letters
unto
the
brethren,
and
journeyed
to
Damascus,
to
bring
them
also
which
were
there
unto
Jerusalem
in
bonds,
for
to
be
punished.
\VS{6}And
it
came
to
pass,
that,
as
I
made
my
journey,
and
drew
nigh
unto
Damascus,
about
noon,
suddenly
there
shone
from
heaven
a
great
light
round
about
me.
\VS{7}And
I
fell
unto
the
ground,
and
heard
a
voice
saying
unto
me,
Saul,
Saul,
why
persecutest
thou
me?
\VS{8}And
I
answered,
Who
art
thou,
Lord?
And
he
said
unto
me,
I
am
Jesus
of
Nazareth,
whom
thou
persecutest.
\VS{9}And
they
that
were
with
me
beheld
indeed
the
light,
but
they
heard
not
the
voice
of
him
that
spake
to
me.
\VS{10}And
I
said,
What
shall
I
do,
Lord?
And
the
Lord
said
unto
me,
Arise,
and
go
into
Damascus;
and
there
it
shall
be
told
thee
of
all
things
which
are
appointed
for
thee
to
do.
\VS{11}And
when
I
could
not
see
for
the
glory
of
that
light,
being
led
by
the
hand
of
them
that
were
with
me,
I
came
into
Damascus.
\VS{12}And
one Ananias,
a
devout
man
according
to
the
law,
well
reported
of
by
all
the
Jews
that
dwelt
there,
\VS{13}came
unto
me,
and
standing
by
me
said
unto
me,
Brother
Saul,
receive
thy
sight.
And
in
that
very
hour
I
looked
up
on
him.
\VS{14}And
he
said,
The
God
of
our
fathers
hath
appointed
thee
to
know
his
will,
and
to
see
the
Righteous
One,
and
to
hear
a
voice
from
his
mouth.
\VS{15}For
thou
shalt
be
a
witness
for
him
unto
all
men
of
what
thou
hast
seen
and
heard.
\VS{16}And
now
why
tarriest
thou?
arise,
and
be baptized,
and
wash
away
thy
sins,
calling
on
his
name.
\VS{17}And
it
came
to
pass,
that,
when
I
had
returned
to
Jerusalem,
and
while
I
prayed
in
the
temple,
I
fell
into
a
trance,
\VS{18}and
saw
him
saying
unto
me,
Make
haste,
and
get
thee
quickly
out
of
Jerusalem:
because
they
will
not
receive
of
thee
testimony
concerning
me.
\VS{19}And
I
said,
Lord,
they
themselves
know
that
I
imprisoned
and
beat
in
every
synagogue
them
that
believed
on
thee:
\VS{20}and
when
the
blood
of
Stephen
thy
witness
was
shed,
I
also
was
standing
by,
and
consenting,
and
keeping
the
garments
of
them
that
slew
him.
\VS{21}And
he
said
unto
me,
Depart:
for
I
will
send
thee
forth
far
hence
unto
the
Gentiles.
\VS{22}And
they
gave
him
audience
unto
this
word;
and
they
lifted
up
their
voice,
and
said,
Away
with
such
a
fellow
from
the
earth:
for
it
is
not
fit
that
he
should
live.
\VS{23}And
as
they
cried
out,
and
threw
off
their
garments,
and
cast
dust
into
the
air,
\VS{24}the
chief
captain
commanded
him
to
be
brought
into
the
castle,
bidding
that
he
should
be
examined
by
scourging,
that
he
might
know
for
what
cause
they
so
shouted
against
him.
\VS{25}And
when
they
had
tied
him
up
with
the
thongs,
Paul
said
unto
the
centurion
that
stood
by,
Is
it
lawful
for
you
to
scourge
a
man
that
is
a
Roman,
and uncondemned?
\VS{26}And
when
the
centurion
heard
it,
he
went
to
the
chief
captain,
and
told
him,
saying,
What
art
thou
about
to
do?
for
this
man
is
a
Roman.
\VS{27}And
the
chief
captain
came,
and
said
unto
him,
Tell
me,
art
thou
a
Roman?
And
he
said,
Yea.
\VS{28}And
the
chief
captain
answered,
With
a
great
sum
obtained
I
this
citizenship.
And
Paul
said,
But
I
am
{\ADD{
a Roman
}}born.
\VS{29}They
then
which
were
about
to
examine
him
straightway
departed
from
him:
and
the
chief
captain
also
was
afraid,
when
he
knew
that
he
was
a
Roman,
and
because
he
had
bound
him.
\VS{30}But
on
the
morrow,
desiring
to
know
the
certainty,
wherefore
he
was
accused
of
the
Jews,
he
loosed
him,
and
commanded
the
chief
priests
and
all
the
council
to
come
together,
and
brought
Paul
down,
and
set
him
before
them.

\par }\Chap{23}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Paul,
looking
stedfastly
on
the
council,
said,
Brethren,
I
have
lived
before
God
in
all
good
conscience
until
this
day.
\VS{2}And
the
high
priest Ananias
commanded
them
that
stood
by
him
to
smite
him
on
the
mouth.
\VS{3}Then
said
Paul
unto
him,
God
shall
smite
thee,
thou
whited
wall:
and
sittest
thou
to
judge
me
according
to
the
law,
and
commandest
me
to
be
smitten
contrary
to
the
law?
\VS{4}And
they
that
stood
by
said, Revilest
thou
God’s
high
priest?
\VS{5}And
Paul
said,
I
wist
not,
brethren,
that
he
was
high
priest:
for
it
is
written,
Thou
shalt
not
speak
evil
of
a
ruler
of
thy
people.
\VS{6}But
when
Paul
perceived
that
the
one
part
were
Sadducees,
and
the
other
Pharisees,
he
cried
out
in
the
council,
Brethren,
I
am
a
Pharisee,
a
son
of
Pharisees:
touching
the
hope
and resurrection
of
the
dead
I
am
called
in
question.
\VS{7}And
when
he
had
so
said,
there
arose
a
dissension
between
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees:
and
the
assembly
was
divided.
\VS{8}For
the
Sadducees
say
that
there
is
no resurrection,
neither
angel,
nor
spirit:
but
the
Pharisees
confess
both.
\VS{9}And
there
arose
a
great
clamour:
and
some
of
the
scribes
of
the
Pharisees’
part
stood
up,
and
strove,
saying,
We
find
no
evil
in
this
man:
and
what
if
a
spirit
hath
spoken
to
him,
or
an
angel?
\VS{10}And
when
there
arose
a
great
dissension,
the
chief
captain,
fearing
lest
Paul
should
be
torn
in
pieces
by
them,
commanded
the
soldiers
to
go
down
and
take
him
by
force
from
among
them,
and
bring
him
into
the
castle.
\VS{11}And
the
night
following
the
Lord
stood
by
him,
and
said,
Be
of
good
cheer:
for
as
thou
hast
testified
concerning
me
at
Jerusalem,
so
must
thou
bear
witness
also
at
Rome.
\VS{12}And
when
it
was
day,
the
Jews
banded
together,
and
bound
themselves
under
a
curse,
saying
that
they
would
neither
eat
nor
drink
till
they
had
killed
Paul.
\VS{13}And
they
were
more
than
forty
which
made
this
conspiracy.
\VS{14}And
they
came
to
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders,
and
said,
We
have
bound
ourselves
under
a
great
curse,
to
taste
nothing
until
we
have
killed
Paul.
\VS{15}Now
therefore
do
ye
with
the
council
signify
to
the
chief
captain
that
he
bring
him
down
unto
you,
as
though
ye
would
judge
of
his
case
more
exactly:
and
we,
or
ever
he
come
near,
are
ready
to
slay
him.
\VS{16}But
Paul’s
sister’s
son
heard
of
their
lying
in
wait,
and
he
came
and
entered
into
the
castle,
and
told
Paul.
\VS{17}And
Paul
called
unto
him
one
of
the
centurions,
and
said,
Bring
this
young
man
unto
the
chief
captain:
for
he
hath
something
to
tell
him.
\VS{18}So
he
took
him,
and
brought
him
to
the
chief
captain,
and
saith,
Paul
the
prisoner
called
me
unto
him,
and
asked
me
to
bring
this
young
man
unto
thee,
who
hath
something
to
say
to
thee.
\VS{19}And
the
chief
captain
took
him
by
the
hand,
and
going
aside
asked
him
privately,
What
is
that
thou
hast
to
tell
me?
\VS{20}And
he
said,
The
Jews
have
agreed
to
ask
thee
to
bring
down
Paul
tomorrow
unto
the
council,
as
though
thou
wouldest
inquire
somewhat
more
exactly
concerning
him.
\VS{21}Do
not
thou
therefore
yield
unto
them:
for
there
lie
in
wait
for
him
of
them
more
than
forty
men,
which
have
bound
themselves
under
a
curse,
neither
to
eat
nor
to
drink
till
they
have
slain
him:
and
now
are
they
ready,
looking
for
the
promise
from
thee.
\VS{22}So
the
chief
captain
let
the
young
man
go,
charging
him,
Tell
no
man
that
thou
hast signified
these
things
to
me.
\VS{23}And
he
called
unto
him
two
of
the
centurions,
and
said,
Make
ready
two
hundred
soldiers
to
go
as
far
as
Caesarea,
and
horsemen
threescore
and
ten,
and
spearmen
two
hundred,
at
the
third
hour
of
the
night:
\VS{24}and
{\ADD{
he
bade
them
}}provide
beasts,
that
they
might
set
Paul
thereon,
and
bring
him
safe
unto
Felix
the
governor.
\VS{25}And
he
wrote
a
letter
after
this
form:
\VS{26}Claudius
Lysias
unto
the
most
excellent
governor
Felix,
greeting.
\VS{27}This
man
was
seized
by
the
Jews,
and
was
about
to
be
slain
of
them,
when
I
came
upon
them
with
the
soldiers,
and
rescued
him,
having
learned
that
he
was
a
Roman.
\VS{28}And
desiring
to
know
the
cause
wherefore
they
accused
him,
I
brought
him
down
unto
their
council:
\VS{29}whom
I
found
to
be
accused
about
questions
of
their
law,
but
to
have
nothing
laid
to
his
charge
worthy
of
death
or
of
bonds.
\VS{30}And
when
it
was shewn
to
me
that
there
would
be
a
plot
against
the
man,
I
sent
him
to
thee
forthwith,
charging
his
accusers
also
to
speak
against
him
before
thee.
\VS{31}So
the
soldiers,
as
it
was
commanded
them,
took
Paul,
and
brought
him
by
night
to Antipatris.
\VS{32}But
on
the
morrow
they
left
the
horsemen
to
go
with
him,
and
returned
to
the
castle:
\VS{33}and
they,
when
they
came
to
Caesarea,
and
delivered
the
letter
to
the
governor,
presented
Paul
also
before
him.
\VS{34}And
when
he
had
read
it,
he
asked
of
what
province
he
was;
and
when
he
understood
that
he
was
of
Cilicia,
\VS{35}I
will
hear
thy
cause,
said
he,
when
thine
accusers
also
are
come:
and
he
commanded
him
to
be
kept
in
Herod’s
palace.

\par }\Chap{24}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
after
five
days
the
high
priest Ananias
came
down
with
certain
elders,
and
{\ADD{
with
}}an
orator,
one
Tertullus;
and
they
informed
the
governor
against
Paul.
\VS{2}And
when
he
was
called,
Tertullus
began
to
accuse
him,
saying,
Seeing
that
by
thee
we
enjoy
much
peace,
and
that
by
thy
providence
evils
are
corrected
for
this
nation,
\VS{3}we
accept
it
in
all
ways
and
in
all
places,
most
excellent
Felix,
with
all
thankfulness.
\VS{4}But,
that
I
be
not
further
tedious
unto
thee,
I
entreat
thee
to
hear
us
of
thy
clemency
a
few
words.
\VS{5}For
we
have
found
this
man
a
pestilent
fellow,
and
a
mover
of insurrections
among
all
the
Jews
throughout
the
world,
and
a
ringleader
of
the sect
of
the
Nazarenes:
\VS{6}who
moreover
assayed
to
profane
the
temple:
on
whom
also
we
laid
hold:
\VS{7}\FTNT{*}{{\FR 24:7 }
Some ancient authorities insert
and we would have judged him according to our law. 7 But the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, 8 commanding his accusers to come before thee.}
\VS{8}from
whom
thou
wilt
be
able,
by examining
him
thyself,
to
take
knowledge
of
all
these
things,
whereof
we
accuse
him.
\VS{9}And
the
Jews
also
joined
in
the
charge, affirming
that
these
things
were
so.
\VS{10}And
when
the
governor
had
beckoned
unto
him
to
speak,
Paul
answered,
Forasmuch
as
I
know
that
thou
hast
been
of
many
years
a
judge
unto
this
nation,
I
do
cheerfully
make
my
defence:
\VS{11}seeing
that
thou
canst
take
knowledge,
that
it
is
not
more
than
twelve
days
since
I
went
up
to
worship
at
Jerusalem:
\VS{12}and
neither
in
the
temple
did
they
find
me
disputing
with
any
man
or
stirring
up
a
crowd,
nor
in
the
synagogues,
nor
in
the
city.
\VS{13}Neither
can
they
prove
to
thee
the
things
whereof
they
now
accuse
me.
\VS{14}But
this
I
confess
unto
thee,
that
after
the
Way
which
they
call
a sect,
so
serve
I
the
God
of
our
fathers,
believing
all
things
which
are
according
to
the
law,
and
which
are
written
in
the
prophets:
\VS{15}having
hope
toward
God,
which
these
also
themselves
look
for,
that
there
shall
be
a resurrection
both
of
the
just
and
unjust.
\VS{16}Herein
do
I
also
exercise
myself
to
have
a
conscience
void
of
offence
toward
God
and
men
alway.
\VS{17}Now
after
many
years
I
came
to
bring
alms
to
my
nation,
and
offerings:
\VS{18}amidst
which
they
found
me
purified
in
the
temple,
with
no
crowd,
nor
yet
with
tumult:
but
{\ADD{
there
were
}}certain
Jews
from
Asia—
\VS{19}who
ought
to
have
been
here
before
thee,
and
to
make
accusation,
if
they
had aught
against
me.
\VS{20}Or
else
let
these
men
themselves
say
what wrong-doing
they
found,
when
I
stood
before
the
council,
\VS{21}except
it
be
for
this
one
voice,
that
I
cried
standing
among
them,
Touching
the resurrection
of
the
dead
I
am
called
in
question
before
you
this
day.
\VS{22}But
Felix,
having
more
exact
knowledge
concerning
the
Way,
deferred
them,
saying,
When
Lysias
the
chief
captain
shall
come
down,
I
will
determine
your
matter.
\VS{23}And
he
gave
order
to
the
centurion
that
he
should
be
kept
in
charge,
and
should
have indulgence;
and
not
to
forbid
any
of
his
friends
to
minister
unto
him.
\VS{24}But
after
certain
days,
Felix
came
with
Drusilla,
his
wife,
which
was
a
Jewess,
and
sent
for
Paul,
and
heard
him
concerning
the
faith
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{25}And
as
he
reasoned
of
righteousness,
and
temperance,
and
the
judgment
to
come,
Felix
was
terrified,
and
answered,
Go
thy
way
for
this
time;
and
when
I
have
a
convenient
season,
I
will
call
thee
unto
me.
\VS{26}He
hoped
withal
that
money
would
be
given
him
of
Paul:
wherefore
also
he
sent
for
him
the
oftener,
and
communed
with
him.
\VS{27}But
when
two
years
were
fulfilled,
Felix
was
succeeded
by
Porcius
Festus;
and
desiring
to
gain
favour
with
the
Jews,
Felix
left
Paul
in
bonds.

\par }\Chap{25}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Festus
therefore,
having
come
into
the
province,
after
three
days
went
up
to
Jerusalem
from
Caesarea.
\VS{2}And
the
chief
priests
and
the
principal
men
of
the
Jews
informed
him
against
Paul;
and
they
besought
him,
\VS{3}asking
favour
against
him,
that
he
would
send
for
him
to
Jerusalem;
laying
wait
to
kill
him
on
the
way.
\VS{4}Howbeit
Festus
answered,
that
Paul
was
kept
in
charge
at
Caesarea,
and
that
he
himself
was
about
to
depart
{\ADD{
thither
}}shortly.
\VS{5}Let
them
therefore,
saith
he,
which
are
of
power
among
you,
go
down
with
me,
and
if
there
is
anything
amiss
in
the
man,
let
them
accuse
him.
\VS{6}And
when
he
had
tarried
among
them
not
more
than
eight
or
ten
days,
he
went
down
unto
Caesarea;
and
on
the
morrow
he
sat
on
the judgment-seat,
and
commanded
Paul
to
be
brought.
\VS{7}And
when
he
was
come,
the
Jews
which
had
come
down
from
Jerusalem
stood
round
about
him,
bringing
against
him
many
and
grievous
charges,
which
they
could
not
prove;
\VS{8}while
Paul
said
in
his
defence,
Neither
against
the
law
of
the
Jews,
nor
against
the
temple,
nor
against
Caesar,
have
I
sinned
at
all.
\VS{9}But
Festus,
desiring
to
gain
favour
with
the
Jews,
answered
Paul,
and
said,
Wilt
thou
go
up
to
Jerusalem,
and
there
be
judged
of
these
things
before
me?
\VS{10}But
Paul
said,
I
am
standing
before
Caesar’s judgment-seat,
where
I
ought
to
be
judged:
to
the
Jews
have
I
done
no
wrong,
as
thou
also
very
well
knowest.
\VS{11}If
then
I
am
a wrong-doer,
and
have
committed
anything
worthy
of
death,
I
refuse
not
to
die:
but
if
none
of
those
things
is
{\ADD{
true}},
whereof
these
accuse
me,
no
man
can
give
me
up
unto
them.
I
appeal
unto
Caesar.
\VS{12}Then
Festus,
when
he
had
conferred
with
the
council,
answered,
Thou
hast
appealed
unto
Caesar:
unto
Caesar shalt
thou
go.
\VS{13}Now
when
certain
days
were
passed, Agrippa
the
king
and Bernice
arrived
at
Caesarea,
and
saluted
Festus.
\VS{14}And
as
they
tarried
there
many
days,
Festus
laid
Paul’s
case
before
the
king,
saying,
There
is
a
certain
man
left
a
prisoner
by
Felix:
\VS{15}about
whom,
when
I
was
at
Jerusalem,
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders
of
the
Jews
informed
{\ADD{
me}},
asking
for
sentence
against
him.
\VS{16}To
whom
I
answered,
that
it
is
not
the
custom
of
the
Romans
to
give
up
any
man,
before
that
the
accused
have
the
accusers
face
to
face,
and
have
had
opportunity
to
make
his
defence
concerning
the
matter
laid
against
him.
\VS{17}When
therefore
they
were
come
together
here,
I
made
no
delay,
but
on
the
next
day
sat
down
on
the judgment-seat,
and
commanded
the
man
to
be
brought.
\VS{18}Concerning
whom,
when
the
accusers
stood
up,
they
brought
no
charge
of
such
evil
things
as
I
supposed;
\VS{19}but
had
certain
questions
against
him
of
their
own
religion,
and
of
one
Jesus,
who
was
dead,
whom
Paul
affirmed
to
be
alive.
\VS{20}And
I,
being
perplexed
how
to
inquire
concerning
these
things,
asked
whether
he
would
go
to
Jerusalem,
and
there
be
judged
of
these
matters.
\VS{21}But
when
Paul
had
appealed
to
be
kept
for
the
decision
of
the
emperor,
I
commanded
him
to
be
kept
till
I
should
send
him
to
Caesar.
\VS{22}And Agrippa
{\ADD{
said
}}unto
Festus,
I
also
could
wish
to
hear
the
man
myself.
Tomorrow,
saith
he,
thou
shalt
hear
him.
\VS{23}So
on
the
morrow,
when Agrippa
was
come,
and Bernice,
with
great
pomp,
and
they
were
entered
into
the
place
of
hearing,
with
the
chief
captains,
and
the
principal
men
of
the
city,
at
the
command
of
Festus
Paul
was
brought
in.
\VS{24}And
Festus
saith,
King Agrippa,
and
all
men
which
are
here
present
with
us,
ye
behold
this
man,
about
whom
all
the
multitude
of
the
Jews
made
suit
to
me,
both
at
Jerusalem
and
here,
crying
that
he
ought
not
to
live
any
longer.
\VS{25}But
I
found
that
he
had
committed
nothing
worthy
of
death:
and
as
he
himself
appealed
to
the
emperor
I
determined
to
send
him.
\VS{26}Of
whom
I
have
no
certain
thing
to
write
unto
my
lord.
Wherefore
I
have
brought
him
forth
before
you,
and
specially
before
thee,
king Agrippa,
that,
after examination
had,
I
may
have
somewhat
to
write.
\VS{27}For
it
seemeth
to
me unreasonable,
in
sending
a
prisoner,
not
withal
to
signify
the
charges
against
him.

\par }\Chap{26}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Agrippa
said
unto
Paul,
Thou
art
permitted
to
speak
for
thyself.
Then
Paul
stretched
forth
his
hand,
and
made
his
defence:
\VS{2}I
think
myself
happy,
king Agrippa,
that
I
am
to
make
my
defence
before
thee
this
day
touching
all
the
things
whereof
I
am
accused
by
the
Jews:
\VS{3}especially
because
thou
art
expert
in
all
customs
and
questions
which
are
among
the
Jews:
wherefore
I
beseech
thee
to
hear
me
patiently.
\VS{4}My
manner
of
life
then
from
my
youth
up,
which
was
from
the
beginning
among
mine
own
nation,
and
at
Jerusalem,
know
all
the
Jews;
\VS{5}having
knowledge
of
me
from
the
first,
if
they
be
willing
to
testify,
how
that
after
the straitest sect
of
our
religion
I
lived
a
Pharisee.
\VS{6}And
now
I
stand
{\ADD{
here
}}to
be
judged
for
the
hope
of
the
promise
made
of
God
unto
our
fathers;
\VS{7}unto
which
{\ADD{
promise
}}our
twelve
tribes,
earnestly
serving
{\ADD{
God
}}night
and
day,
hope
to
attain.
And
concerning
this
hope
I
am
accused
by
the
Jews,
O
king!
\VS{8}Why
is
it
judged incredible
with
you,
if
God
doth
raise
the
dead?
\VS{9}I
verily
thought
with
myself,
that
I
ought
to
do
many
things
contrary
to
the
name
of
Jesus
of
Nazareth.
\VS{10}And
this
I
also
did
in
Jerusalem:
and
I
both
shut
up
many
of
the
saints
in
prisons,
having
received
authority
from
the
chief
priests,
and
when
they
were
put
to
death,
I
gave
my
vote
against
them.
\VS{11}And
punishing
them
oftentimes
in
all
the
synagogues,
I
strove
to
make
them
blaspheme;
and
being
exceedingly
mad
against
them,
I
persecuted
them
even
unto
foreign
cities.
\VS{12}Whereupon
as
I
journeyed
to
Damascus
with
the
authority
and
commission
of
the
chief
priests,
\VS{13}at
midday,
O
king,
I
saw
on
the
way
a
light
from
heaven,
above
the
brightness
of
the
sun,
shining
round
about
me
and
them
that
journeyed
with
me.
\VS{14}And
when
we
were
all
fallen
to
the
earth,
I
heard
a
voice
saying
unto
me
in
the
Hebrew
language,
Saul,
Saul,
why
persecutest
thou
me?
it
is
hard
for
thee
to
kick
against
the
goad.
\VS{15}And
I
said,
Who
art
thou,
Lord?
And
the
Lord
said,
I
am
Jesus
whom
thou
persecutest.
\VS{16}But
arise,
and
stand
upon
thy
feet:
for
to
this
end
have
I
appeared
unto
thee,
to
appoint
thee
a
minister
and
a
witness
both
of
the
things
wherein
thou
hast
seen
me,
and
of
the
things
wherein
I
will
appear
unto
thee;
\VS{17}delivering
thee
from
the
people,
and
from
the
Gentiles,
unto
whom
I
send
thee,
\VS{18}to
open
their
eyes,
that
they
may
turn
from
darkness
to
light,
and
from
the
power
of
Satan
unto
God,
that
they
may
receive
remission
of
sins
and
an
inheritance
among
them
that
are
sanctified
by
faith
in
me.
\VS{19}Wherefore,
O
king Agrippa,
I
was
not
disobedient
unto
the
heavenly
vision:
\VS{20}but
declared
both
to
them
of
Damascus
first,
and
at
Jerusalem,
and
throughout
all
the
country
of
Judaea,
and
also
to
the
Gentiles,
that
they
should
repent
and
turn
to
God,
doing
works
worthy
of
repentance.
\VS{21}For
this
cause
the
Jews
seized
me
in
the
temple,
and
assayed
to
kill
me.
\VS{22}Having
therefore
obtained
the
help
that
is
from
God,
I
stand
unto
this
day
testifying
both
to
small
and
great,
saying
nothing
but
what
the
prophets
and
Moses
did
say
should
come;
\VS{23}how
that
the
Christ
must
suffer,
{\ADD{
and
}}how
that
he
first
by
the resurrection
of
the
dead
should
proclaim
light
both
to
the
people
and
to
the
Gentiles.
\VS{24}And
as
he
thus
made
his
defence,
Festus
saith
with
a
loud
voice,
Paul,
thou
art
mad;
thy
much
learning
doth
turn
thee
to
madness.
\VS{25}But
Paul
saith,
I
am
not
mad,
most
excellent
Festus;
but
speak
forth
words
of
truth
and
soberness.
\VS{26}For
the
king
knoweth
of
these
things,
unto
whom
also
I
speak
freely:
for
I
am
persuaded
that
none
of
these
things
is
hidden
from
him;
for
this
hath
not
been
done
in
a
corner.
\VS{27}King Agrippa,
believest
thou
the
prophets?
I
know
that
thou
believest.
\VS{28}And Agrippa
{\ADD{
said
}}unto
Paul,
With
but
little persuasion
thou
wouldest
fain
make
me
a
Christian.
\VS{29}And
Paul
{\ADD{
said}},
I
would
to
God,
that
whether
with
little
or
with
much,
not
thou
only,
but
also
all
that
hear
me
this
day,
might
become
such
as
I
am,
except
these
bonds.
\VS{30}And
the
king
rose
up,
and
the
governor,
and Bernice,
and
they
that
sat
with
them:
\VS{31}and
when
they
had
withdrawn,
they
spake
one
to
another,
saying,
This
man
doeth
nothing
worthy
of
death
or
of
bonds.
\VS{32}And Agrippa
said
unto
Festus,
This
man
might
have
been
set
at
liberty,
if
he
had
not
appealed
unto
Caesar.

\par }\Chap{27}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
when
it
was
determined
that
we
should
sail
for
Italy,
they
delivered
Paul
and
certain
other
prisoners
to
a
centurion
named
Julius,
of
the
Augustan
band.
\VS{2}And
embarking
in
a
ship
of Adramyttium,
which
was
about
to
sail
unto
the
places
on
the
coast
of
Asia,
we
put
to
sea, Aristarchus,
a
Macedonian
of
Thessalonica,
being
with
us.
\VS{3}And
the
next
day
we
touched
at
Sidon:
and
Julius
treated
Paul
kindly,
and
gave
him
leave
to
go
unto
his
friends
and
refresh
himself.
\VS{4}And
putting
to
sea
from
thence,
we
sailed
under
the lee
of
Cyprus,
because
the
winds
were
contrary.
\VS{5}And
when
we
had
sailed
across
the
sea
which
is
off
Cilicia
and
Pamphylia,
we
came
to
Myra,
{\ADD{
a
city
}}of
Lycia.
\VS{6}And
there
the
centurion
found
a
ship
of Alexandria
sailing
for
Italy;
and
he
put
us
therein.
\VS{7}And
when
we
had
sailed
slowly
many
days,
and
were
come
with
difficulty
over
against
Cnidus,
the
wind
not
further
suffering
us,
we
sailed
under
the lee
of
Crete,
over
against
Salmone;
\VS{8}and
with
difficulty coasting
along
it
we
came
unto
a
certain
place
called
Fair Havens;
nigh
whereunto
was
the
city
of
Lasea.
\VS{9}And
when
much
time
was
spent,
and
the
voyage
was
now
dangerous,
because
the
Fast
was
now
already
gone
by,
Paul
admonished
them,
\VS{10}and
said
unto
them, Sirs,
I
perceive
that
the
voyage
will
be
with
injury
and
much
loss,
not
only
of
the
lading
and
the
ship,
but
also
of
our
lives.
\VS{11}But
the
centurion
gave
more
heed
to
the
master
and
to
the
owner
of
the
ship,
than
to
those
things
which
were
spoken
by
Paul.
\VS{12}And
because
the
haven
was
not commodious
to
winter
in,
the
more
part
advised
to
put
to
sea
from
thence,
if
by
any
means
they
could
reach
Phoenix,
and
winter
{\ADD{
there}};
{\ADD{
which
is
}}a
haven
of
Crete,
looking north-east
and south-east.
\VS{13}And
when
the
south
wind
blew
softly,
supposing
that
they
had
obtained
their
purpose,
they
weighed anchor
and
sailed
along
Crete,
close
in
shore.
\VS{14}But
after
no
long
time
there
beat
down
from
it
a
tempestuous
wind,
which
is
called Euraquilo:
\VS{15}and
when
the
ship
was
caught,
and
could
not
face
the
wind,
we
gave
way
{\ADD{
to
it}},
and
were
driven.
\VS{16}And
running
under
the lee
of
a
small
island
called
Cauda,
we
were
able,
with
difficulty,
to
secure
the
boat:
\VS{17}and
when
they
had hoisted
it
up,
they
used
helps, under-girding
the
ship;
and,
fearing
lest
they
should
be
cast
upon
the
Syrtis,
they
lowered
the
gear,
and
so
were
driven.
\VS{18}And
as
we
laboured
exceedingly
with
the
storm,
the
next
day
they
began
to
throw
{\ADD{
the freight
}}overboard;
\VS{19}and
the
third
day
they
cast
out
with
their
own
hands
the
tackling
of
the
ship.
\VS{20}And
when
neither
sun
nor
stars
shone
upon
{\ADD{
us
}}for
many
days,
and
no
small
tempest
lay
on
{\ADD{
us}},
all
hope
that
we
should
be
saved
was
now
taken
away.
\VS{21}And
when
they
had
been
long
without
food,
then
Paul
stood
forth
in
the
midst
of
them,
and
said, Sirs,
ye
should
have
hearkened
unto
me,
and
not
have
set
sail
from
Crete,
and
have
gotten
this
injury
and
loss.
\VS{22}And
now
I exhort
you
to
be
of
good
cheer:
for
there
shall
be
no
loss
of
life
among
you,
but
{\ADD{
only
}}of
the
ship.
\VS{23}For
there
stood
by
me
this
night
an
angel
of
the
God
whose
I
am,
whom
also
I
serve,
\VS{24}saying,
Fear
not,
Paul;
thou
must
stand
before
Caesar:
and
lo,
God
hath
granted
thee
all
them
that
sail
with
thee.
\VS{25}Wherefore, sirs,
be
of
good
cheer:
for
I
believe
God,
that
it
shall
be
even
so
as
it
hath
been
spoken
unto
me.
\VS{26}Howbeit
we
must
be
cast
upon
a
certain
island.
\VS{27}But
when
the
fourteenth
night
was
come,
as
we
were
driven
to
and
fro
in
the
{\ADD{
sea
of
}}Adria,
about
midnight
the
sailors surmised
that
they
were
drawing
near
to
some
country;
\VS{28}and
they
sounded,
and
found
twenty
fathoms:
and
after
a
little
space,
they
sounded
again,
and
found
fifteen
fathoms.
\VS{29}And
fearing
lest
haply
we
should
be
cast ashore
on
rocky
ground,
they
let
go
four anchors
from
the
stern,
and
wished
for
the
day.
\VS{30}And
as
the
sailors
were
seeking
to
flee
out
of
the
ship,
and
had
lowered
the
boat
into
the
sea,
under
colour
as
though
they
would
lay
out anchors
from
the
foreship,
\VS{31}Paul
said
to
the
centurion
and
to
the
soldiers,
Except
these
abide
in
the
ship,
ye
cannot
be
saved.
\VS{32}Then
the
soldiers
cut
away
the
ropes
of
the
boat,
and
let
her
fall
off.
\VS{33}And
while
the
day
was
coming
on,
Paul
besought
them
all
to
take
some
food,
saying,
This
day
is
the
fourteenth
day
that
ye
wait
and
continue
fasting,
having
taken
nothing.
\VS{34}Wherefore
I
beseech
you
to
take
some
food:
for
this
is
for
your
safety:
for
there
shall
not
a
hair
perish
from
the
head
of
any
of
you.
\VS{35}And
when
he
had
said
this,
and
had
taken
bread,
he
gave
thanks
to
God
in
the
presence
of
all:
and
he
brake
it,
and
began
to
eat.
\VS{36}Then
were
they
all
of
good
cheer,
and
themselves
also
took
food.
\VS{37}And
we
were
in
all
in
the
ship
two
hundred
threescore
and
sixteen
souls.
\VS{38}And
when
they
had
eaten
enough,
they
lightened
the
ship,
throwing
out
the
wheat
into
the
sea.
\VS{39}And
when
it
was
day,
they
knew
not
the
land:
but
they
perceived
a
certain
bay
with
a beach,
and
they
took
counsel
whether
they
could
drive
the
ship
upon
it.
\VS{40}And
casting
off
the anchors,
they
left
them
in
the
sea,
at
the
same
time loosing
the
bands
of
the
rudders;
and
hoisting
up
the foresail
to
the
wind,
they
made
for
the beach.
\VS{41}But
lighting
upon
a
place
where
two
seas
met,
they
ran
the
vessel
aground;
and
the
foreship
struck
and
remained unmoveable,
but
the
stern
began
to
break
up
by
the
violence
{\ADD{
of
the
waves}}.
\VS{42}And
the
soldiers’
counsel
was
to
kill
the
prisoners,
lest
any
{\ADD{
of
them
}}should
swim
out,
and
escape.
\VS{43}But
the
centurion,
desiring
to
save
Paul,
stayed
them
from
their
purpose;
and
commanded
that
they
which
could
swim
should
cast
themselves
overboard,
and
get
first
to
the
land:
\VS{44}and
the
rest,
some
on
planks,
and
some
on
{\ADD{
other
}}things
from
the
ship.
And
so
it
came
to
pass,
that
they
all
escaped
safe
to
the
land.

\par }\Chap{28}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
when
we
were
escaped,
then
we
knew
that
the
island
was
called
Melita.
\VS{2}And
the barbarians
shewed
us
no
common
kindness:
for
they
kindled
a
fire,
and
received
us
all,
because
of
the
present
rain,
and
because
of
the
cold.
\VS{3}But
when
Paul
had
gathered
a
bundle
of
sticks,
and
laid
them
on
the
fire,
a
viper
came
out
by
reason
of
the
heat,
and
fastened
on
his
hand.
\VS{4}And
when
the barbarians
saw
the
beast
hanging
from
his
hand,
they
said
one
to
another,
No
doubt
this
man
is
a
murderer,
whom,
though
he
hath
escaped
from
the
sea,
yet
Justice
hath
not
suffered
to
live.
\VS{5}Howbeit
he
shook
off
the
beast
into
the
fire,
and
took
no
harm.
\VS{6}But
they
expected
that
he
would
have
swollen,
or
fallen
down
dead
suddenly:
but
when
they
were
long
in
expectation,
and
beheld
nothing
amiss
came
to
him,
they
changed
their
minds,
and
said
that
he
was
a
god.
\VS{7}Now
in
the neighbourhood
of
that
place
were
lands
belonging
to
the
chief
man
of
the
island,
named
Publius;
who
received
us,
and
entertained
us
three
days
courteously.
\VS{8}And
it
was
so,
that
the
father
of
Publius
lay
sick
of
fever
and
dysentery:
unto
whom
Paul
entered
in,
and
prayed,
and
laying
his
hands
on
him
healed
him.
\VS{9}And
when
this
was
done,
the
rest
also
which
had
diseases
in
the
island
came,
and
were
cured:
\VS{10}who
also
honoured
us
with
many
honours;
and
when
we
sailed,
they
put
on
board
such
things
as
we
needed.
\VS{11}And
after
three
months
we
set
sail
in
a
ship
of Alexandria,
which
had
wintered
in
the
island,
whose
sign
was
The
Twin
Brothers.
\VS{12}And
touching
at
Syracuse,
we
tarried
there
three
days.
\VS{13}And
from
thence
we
made
a
circuit,
and
arrived
at
Rhegium:
and
after
one
day
a
south
wind
sprang
up,
and
on
the
second
day
we
came
to
Puteoli:
\VS{14}where
we
found
brethren,
and
were
entreated
to
tarry
with
them
seven
days:
and
so
we
came
to
Rome.
\VS{15}And
from
thence
the
brethren,
when
they
heard
of
us,
came
to
meet
us
as
far
as
The
Market
of Appius,
and
The
Three
Taverns:
whom
when
Paul
saw,
he
thanked
God,
and
took
courage.
\VS{16}And
when
we
entered
into
Rome,
Paul
was
suffered
to
abide
by
himself
with
the
soldier
that
guarded
him.
\VS{17}And
it
came
to
pass,
that
after
three
days
he
called
together
those
that
were
the
chief
of
the
Jews:
and
when
they
were
come
together,
he
said
unto
them,
I,
brethren,
though
I
had
done
nothing
against
the
people,
or
the
customs
of
our
fathers,
yet
was
delivered
prisoner
from
Jerusalem
into
the
hands
of
the
Romans:
\VS{18}who,
when
they
had
examined
me,
desired
to
set
me
at
liberty,
because
there
was
no
cause
of
death
in
me.
\VS{19}But
when
the
Jews
spake
against
it,
I
was
constrained
to
appeal
unto
Caesar;
not
that
I
had aught
to
accuse
my
nation
of.
\VS{20}For
this
cause
therefore
did
I
entreat
you
to
see
and
to
speak
with
{\ADD{
me}}:
for
because
of
the
hope
of
Israel
I
am
bound
with
this
chain.
\VS{21}And
they
said
unto
him,
We
neither
received
letters
from
Judaea
concerning
thee,
nor
did
any
of
the
brethren
come
hither
and
report
or
speak
any
harm
of
thee.
\VS{22}But
we
desire
to
hear
of
thee
what
thou
thinkest:
for
as
concerning
this sect,
it
is
known
to
us
that
everywhere
it
is
spoken
against.
\VS{23}And
when
they
had
appointed
him
a
day,
they
came
to
him
into
his
lodging
in
great
number;
to
whom
he
expounded
{\ADD{
the
matter}},
testifying
the
kingdom
of
God,
and
persuading
them
concerning
Jesus,
both
from
the
law
of
Moses
and
from
the
prophets,
from
morning
till
evening.
\VS{24}And
some
believed
the
things
which
were
spoken,
and
some disbelieved.
\VS{25}And
when
they
agreed
not
among
themselves,
they
departed,
after
that
Paul
had
spoken
one
word,
Well
spake
the
Holy
Ghost
by
Isaiah
the
prophet
unto
your
fathers,
\VS{26}saying,
Go
thou
unto
this
people,
and
say,
By
hearing
ye
shall
hear,
and
shall
in
no
wise
understand;
And
seeing
ye
shall
see,
and
shall
in
no
wise
perceive:
\VS{27}For
this
people’s
heart
is
waxed
gross,
And
their
ears
are
dull
of
hearing,
And
their
eyes
they
have
closed;
Lest
haply
they
should
perceive
with
their
eyes,
And
hear
with
their
ears,
And
understand
with
their
heart,
And
should
turn
again,
And
I
should
heal
them.
\VS{28}Be
it
known
therefore
unto
you,
that
this
salvation
of
God
is
sent
unto
the
Gentiles:
they
will
also
hear.
\VS{29}\FTNT{*}{{\FR 28:29 }
Some ancient authorities insert ver. 29
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having much disputing among themselves.}
\VS{30}And
he
abode
two
whole
years
in
his
own
hired
dwelling,
and
received
all
that
went
in
unto
him,
\VS{31}preaching
the
kingdom
of
God,
and
teaching
the
things
concerning
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
with
all
boldness,
none
forbidding
him.
