Acts 1:1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus
began both to do and teach,

Acts 1:2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the
Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

Acts 1:3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many
infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things
pertaining to the kingdom of God:

Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they
should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father,
which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with
the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying,
Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

Acts 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the
seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon
you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea,
and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was
taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Acts 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,
behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into
heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come
in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Acts 1:12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet,
which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

Acts 1:13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where
abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas,
Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and
Judas the brother of James.

Acts 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication,
with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

Acts 1:15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples,
and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

Acts 1:16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled,
which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas,
which was guide to them that took Jesus.

Acts 1:17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this
ministry.

Acts 1:18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and
falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed
out.

Acts 1:19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as
that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The
field of blood.

Acts 1:20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be
desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishopric let another take.

Acts 1:21 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time
that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

Acts 1:22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was
taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his
resurrection.

Acts 1:23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed
Justus, and Matthias.

Acts 1:24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of
all men, show whether of these two thou hast chosen,

Acts 1:25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which
Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

Acts 1:26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias;
and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with
one accord in one place.

Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty
wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it
sat upon each of them.

Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak
with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every
nation under heaven.

Acts 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and
were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

Acts 2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another,
Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

Acts 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

Acts 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in
Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

Acts 2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about
Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

Acts 2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the
wonderful works of God.

Acts 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to
another, What meaneth this?

Acts 2:13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and
said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this
known unto you, and hearken to my words:

Acts 2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the
third hour of the day.

Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour
out 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:

Acts 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those
days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Acts 2:19 And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth
beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,
before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name
of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man
approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by
him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge
of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because
it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

Acts 2:25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always
before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

Acts 2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover
also my flesh shall rest in hope:

Acts 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Acts 2:28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me
full of joy with thy countenance.

Acts 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch
David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this
day.

Acts 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an
oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would
raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that
his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

Acts 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having
received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this,
which ye now see and hear.

Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself,
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

Acts 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God
hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and
said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall
we do?

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that
are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save
yourselves from this untoward generation.

Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the
same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and
fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Acts 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were
done by the apostles.

Acts 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

Acts 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men,
as every man had need.

Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and
breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and
singleness of heart,

Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord
added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of
prayer, being the ninth hour.

Acts 3:2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom
they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask
alms of them that entered into the temple;

Acts 3:3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an
alms.

Acts 3:4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

Acts 3:5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have
give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

Acts 3:7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and
immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

Acts 3:8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the
temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

Acts 3:9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

Acts 3:10 And they knew 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.

Acts 3:11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the
people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly
wondering.

Acts 3:12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of
Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by
our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our
fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in
the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

Acts 3:14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to
be granted unto you;

Acts 3:15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead;
whereof we are witnesses.

Acts 3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong,
whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this
perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

Acts 3:17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did
also your rulers.

Acts 3:18 But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all
his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be
blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the
Lord;

Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto
you:

Acts 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all
things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the
world began.

Acts 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord
your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear
in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

Acts 3:23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear
that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

Acts 3:24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after,
as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

Acts 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God
made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the
kindreds of the earth be blessed.

Acts 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to
bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Acts 4:1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of
the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

Acts 4:2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through
Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

Acts 4:3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next
day: for it was now eventide.

Acts 4:4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number
of the men was about five thousand.

Acts 4:5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders,
and scribes,

Acts 4:6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander,
and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together
at Jerusalem.

Acts 4:7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power,
or by what name, have ye done this?

Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers
of the people, and elders of Israel,

Acts 4:9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent
man, by what means he is made whole;

Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from
the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

Acts 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which
is become the head of the corner.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other
name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived
that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took
knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

Acts 4:14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they
could say nothing against it.

Acts 4:15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council,
they conferred among themselves,

Acts 4:16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable
miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in
Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

Acts 4:17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly
threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

Acts 4:18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor
teach in the name of Jesus.

Acts 4:19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be
right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

Acts 4:20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

Acts 4:21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go,
finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men
glorified God for that which was done.

Acts 4:22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of
healing was showed.

Acts 4:23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all
that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

Acts 4:24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with
one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth,
and the sea, and all that in them is:

Acts 4:25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the
heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

Acts 4:26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered
together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

Acts 4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast
anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of
Israel, were gathered together,

Acts 4:28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to
be done.

Acts 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy
servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

Acts 4:30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders
may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were
assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they
spake the word of God with boldness.

Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of
one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed
was his own; but they had all things common.

Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection
of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

Acts 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were
possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things
that were sold,

Acts 4:35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was
made unto every man according as he had need.

Acts 4:36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is,
being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of
Cyprus,

Acts 4:37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the
apostles' feet.

Acts 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a
possession,

Acts 5:2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it,
and brought a certain part, and laid it, at the apostles' feet.

Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie
to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

Acts 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold,
was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine
heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Acts 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost:
and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

Acts 5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and
buried him.

Acts 5:7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not
knowing what was done, came in.

Acts 5:8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for
so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

Acts 5:9 Then Peter 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 shall carry thee out.

Acts 5:10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the
ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth,
buried her by her husband.

Acts 5:11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard
these things.

Acts 5:12 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.

Acts 5:13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people
magnified them.

Acts 5:14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of
men and women.)

Acts 5:15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and
laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing
by might overshadow some of them.

Acts 5:16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto
Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean
spirits: and they were healed every one.

Acts 5:17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him,
(which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

Acts 5:18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common
prison.

Acts 5:19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and
brought them forth, and said,

Acts 5:20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of
this life.

Acts 5:21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in
the morning, 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 to have them brought.

Acts 5:22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they
returned, and told,

Acts 5:23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the
keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no
man within.

Acts 5:24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the
chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would
grow.

Acts 5:25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put
in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

Acts 5:26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without
violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

Acts 5:27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council:
and the high priest asked them,

Acts 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach
in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and
intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to
obey God rather than men.

Acts 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on
a tree.

Acts 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a
Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy
Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Acts 5:33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel
to slay them.

Acts 5:34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named
Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and
commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

Acts 5:35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what
ye intend to do as touching these men.

Acts 5:36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself 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 scattered, and brought to
nought.

Acts 5:37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing,
and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many
as obeyed him, were dispersed.

Acts 5:38 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 come to nought:

Acts 5:39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be
found even to fight against God.

Acts 5:40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and
beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus,
and let them go.

Acts 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that
they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

Acts 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to
teach and preach Jesus Christ.

Acts 6:1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied,
there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their
widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

Acts 6:2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them,
and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve
tables.

Acts 6:3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest
report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this
business.

Acts 6:4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the
ministry of the word.

Acts 6:5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen,
a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and
Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

Acts 6:6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they
laid their hands on them.

Acts 6:7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples
multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were
obedient to the faith.

Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and
miracles among the people.

Acts 6:9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the
synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of
Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

Acts 6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by
which he spake.

Acts 6:11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak
blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.

Acts 6:12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes,
and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,

Acts 6:13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to
speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:

Acts 6:14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall
destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.

Acts 6:15 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw
his face as it had been the face of an angel.

Acts 7:1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?

Acts 7:2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory
appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt
in Charran,

Acts 7:3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.

Acts 7:4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in
Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this
land, wherein ye now dwell.

Acts 7:5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set
his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession,
and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.

Acts 7:6 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.

Acts 7:7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said
God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

Acts 7:8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat
Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob
begat the twelve patriarchs.

Acts 7:9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but
God was with him,

Acts 7:10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour
and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor
over Egypt and all his house.

Acts 7:11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan,
and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

Acts 7:12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our
fathers first.

Acts 7:13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and
Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

Acts 7:14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his
kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

Acts 7:15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,

Acts 7:16 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that
Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.

Acts 7:17 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to
Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

Acts 7:18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.

Acts 7:19 The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our
fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not
live.

Acts 7:20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and
nourished up in his father's house three months:

Acts 7:21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and
nourished him for her own son.

Acts 7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was
mighty in words and in deeds.

Acts 7:23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to
visit his brethren the children of Israel.

Acts 7:24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged
him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

Acts 7:25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by
his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

Acts 7:26 And the next day he showed himself 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?

Acts 7:27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who
made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

Acts 7:28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?

Acts 7:29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of
Madian, where he begat two sons.

Acts 7:30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the
wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.

Acts 7:31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near
to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,

Acts 7:32 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.

Acts 7:33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for
the place where thou standest is holy ground.

Acts 7:34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in
Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And
now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

Acts 7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a
judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the
angel which appeared to him in the bush.

Acts 7:36 He brought them out, after that he had showed wonders and signs in
the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

Acts 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A
prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto
me; him shall ye hear.

Acts 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the
angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received
the lively oracles to give unto us:

Acts 7:39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and
in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

Acts 7:40 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this
Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of
him.

Acts 7:41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the
idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

Acts 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven;
as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye
offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the
wilderness?

Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god
Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away
beyond Babylon.

Acts 7:44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he
had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the
fashion that he had seen.

Acts 7:45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into
the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our
fathers, unto the days of David;

Acts 7:46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for
the God of Jacob.

Acts 7:47 But Solomon built him an house.

Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as
saith the prophet,

Acts 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye
build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

Acts 7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always
resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

Acts 7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they
have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye
have been now the betrayers and murderers:

Acts 7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have
not kept it.

Acts 7:54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they
gnashed on him with their teeth.

Acts 7:55 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,

Acts 7:56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man
standing on the right hand of God.

Acts 7:57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and
ran upon him with one accord,

Acts 7:58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses
laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.

Acts 7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus,
receive my spirit.

Acts 7:60 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.

Acts 8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was
a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were
all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the
apostles.

Acts 8:2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great
lamentation over him.

Acts 8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every
house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

Acts 8:4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where
preaching the word.

Acts 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ
unto them.

Acts 8:6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which
Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

Acts 8:7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that
were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame,
were healed.

Acts 8:8 And there was great joy in that city.

Acts 8:9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the
same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that
himself was some great one:

Acts 8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest,
saying, This man is the great power of God.

Acts 8:11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had
bewitched them with sorceries.

Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the
kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and
women.

Acts 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he
continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which
were done.

Acts 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria
had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

Acts 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might
receive the Holy Ghost:

Acts 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were
baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

Acts 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy
Ghost.

Acts 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands
the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

Acts 8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands,
he may receive the Holy Ghost.

Acts 8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou
hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

Acts 8:21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is
not right in the sight of God.

Acts 8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps
the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

Acts 8:23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the
bond of iniquity.

Acts 8:24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that
none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

Acts 8:25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the
Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the
Samaritans.

Acts 8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go
toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which
is desert.

Acts 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch
of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge
of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

Acts 8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

Acts 8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to
this chariot.

Acts 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet
Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

Acts 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he
desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

Acts 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a
sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he
not his mouth:

Acts 8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall
declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

Acts 8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom
speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

Acts 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and
preached unto him Jesus.

Acts 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and
the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou
mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God.

Acts 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down
both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

Acts 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the
Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his
way rejoicing.

Acts 8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in
all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

Acts 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the
disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

Acts 9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if
he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them
bound unto Jerusalem.

Acts 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there
shined round about him a light from heaven:

Acts 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul,
Saul, why persecutest thou me?

Acts 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom
thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Acts 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me
to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall
be told thee what thou must do.

Acts 9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a
voice, but seeing no man.

Acts 9:8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he
saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

Acts 9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

Acts 9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and
to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here,
Lord.

Acts 9:11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is
called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of
Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

Acts 9:12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and
putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

Acts 9:13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how
much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

Acts 9:14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that
call on thy name.

Acts 9:15 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:

Acts 9:16 For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's
sake.

Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting
his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto
thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy
sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales:
and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

Acts 9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul
certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

Acts 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is
the Son of God.

Acts 9:21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that
destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for
that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?

Acts 9:22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews
which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

Acts 9:23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to
kill him:

Acts 9:24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the
gates day and night to kill him.

Acts 9:25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall
in a basket.

Acts 9:26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to
the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a
disciple.

Acts 9:27 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 he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

Acts 9:28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.

Acts 9:29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed
against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

Acts 9:30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea,
and sent him forth to Tarsus.

Acts 9:31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and
Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the
comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

Acts 9:32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he
came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

Acts 9:33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his
bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.

Acts 9:34 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole:
arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

Acts 9:35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the
Lord.

Acts 9:36 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.

Acts 9:37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died:
whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.

Acts 9:38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had
heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he
would not delay to come to them.

Acts 9:39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they
brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping,
and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

Acts 9:40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and
turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and
when she saw Peter, she sat up.

Acts 9:41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had
called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

Acts 9:42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the
Lord.

Acts 9:43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one
Simon a tanner.

Acts 10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion
of the band called the Italian band,

Acts 10:2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which
gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

Acts 10:3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an
angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

Acts 10:4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it,
Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a
memorial before God.

Acts 10:5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname
is Peter:

Acts 10:6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea
side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

Acts 10:7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he
called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited
on him continually;

Acts 10:8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them
to Joppa.

Acts 10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto
the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

Acts 10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they
made ready, he fell into a trance,

Acts 10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him,
as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the
earth:

Acts 10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and
wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

Acts 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

Acts 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing
that is common or unclean.

Acts 10:15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath
cleansed, that call not thou common.

Acts 10:16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into
heaven.

Acts 10:17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had
seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made
inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

Acts 10:18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter,
were lodged there.

Acts 10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him,
Behold, three men seek thee.

Acts 10:20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting
nothing: for I have sent them.

Acts 10:21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from
Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore
ye are come?

Acts 10:22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that
feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned
from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words
of thee.

Acts 10:23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter
went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

Acts 10:24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius
waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

Acts 10:25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at
his feet, and worshipped him.

Acts 10:26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

Acts 10:27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were
come together.

Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing
for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation;
but God hath showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Acts 10:29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was
sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

Acts 10:30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour;
and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me
in bright clothing,

Acts 10:31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had
in remembrance in the sight of God.

Acts 10:32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is
Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who,
when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

Acts 10:33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done
that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear
all things that are commanded thee of God.

Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that
God is no respecter of persons:

Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh
righteousness, is accepted with him.

Acts 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching
peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

Acts 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all
Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth 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.

Acts 10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land
of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

Acts 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;

Acts 10:41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God,
even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

Acts 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify
that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name
whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

Acts 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all
them which heard the word.

Acts 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as
many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the
gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then
answered Peter,

Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized,
which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.
Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Acts 11:1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the
Gentiles had also received the word of God.

Acts 11:2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the
circumcision contended with him,

Acts 11:3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with
them.

Acts 11:4 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it
by order unto them, saying,

Acts 11:5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a
vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from
heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

Acts 11:6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and
saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and
fowls of the air.

Acts 11:7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

Acts 11:8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at
any time entered into my mouth.

Acts 11:9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath
cleansed, that call not thou common.

Acts 11:10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into
heaven.

Acts 11:11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto
the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

Acts 11:12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover
these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

Acts 11:13 And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which
stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname
is Peter;

Acts 11:14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall
be saved.

Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at
the beginning.

Acts 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John
indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Acts 11:17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us,
who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

Acts 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and
glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance
unto life.

Acts 11:19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that
arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch,
preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

Acts 11:20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they
were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.

Acts 11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number
believed, and turned unto the Lord.

Acts 11:22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church
which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far
as Antioch.

Acts 11:23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and
exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

Acts 11:24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith:
and much people was added unto the Lord.

Acts 11:25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it
came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and
taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Acts 11:27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

Acts 11:28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the
Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came
to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

Acts 11:29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability,
determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:

Acts 11:30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of
Barnabas and Saul.

Acts 12:1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to
vex certain of the church.

Acts 12:2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

Acts 12:3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to
take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

Acts 12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and
delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after
Easter to bring him forth to the people.

Acts 12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without
ceasing of the church unto God for him.

Acts 12:6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter
was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers
before the door kept the prison.

Acts 12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light
shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up,
saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

Acts 12:8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy
sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee,
and follow me.

Acts 12:9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true
which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

Acts 12:10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto
the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own
accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the
angel departed from him.

Acts 12:11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a
surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the
hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

Acts 12:12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of
Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered
together praying.

Acts 12:13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to
hearken, named Rhoda.

Acts 12:14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for
gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.

Acts 12:15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed
that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.

Acts 12:16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door,
and saw him, they were astonished.

Acts 12:17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace,
declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he
said, Go show these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed,
and went into another place.

Acts 12:18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the
soldiers, what was become of Peter.

Acts 12:19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined
the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down
from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.

Acts 12:20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but
they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's
chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished
by the king's country.

Acts 12:21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his
throne, and made an oration unto them.

Acts 12:22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god,
and not of a man.

Acts 12:23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave
not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

Acts 12:24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.

Acts 12:25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had
fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

Acts 13:1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets
and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of
Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and
Saul.

Acts 13:2 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.

Acts 13:3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them,
they sent them away.

Acts 13:4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto
Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

Acts 13:5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in
the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.

Acts 13:6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a
certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:

Acts 13:7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a
prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of
God.

Acts 13:8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation)
withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

Acts 13:9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost,
set his eyes on him,

Acts 13:10 And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of
the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the
right ways of the Lord?

Acts 13:11 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.

Acts 13:12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being
astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

Acts 13:13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to
Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

Acts 13:14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in
Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

Acts 13:15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of
the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word
of exhortation for the people, say on.

Acts 13:16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of
Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

Acts 13:17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted
the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high
arm brought he them out of it.

Acts 13:18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in
the wilderness.

Acts 13:19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan,
he divided their land to them by lot.

Acts 13:20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four
hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

Acts 13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul
the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

Acts 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be
their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the
son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

Acts 13:23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto
Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

Acts 13:24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of
repentance to all the people of Israel.

Acts 13:25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I
am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his
feet I am not worthy to loose.

Acts 13:26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever
among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

Acts 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they
knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath
day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

Acts 13:28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they
Pilate that he should be slain.

Acts 13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they
took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

Acts 13:30 But God raised him from the dead:

Acts 13:31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from
Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

Acts 13:32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which
was made unto the fathers,

Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he
hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou
art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

Acts 13:34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no
more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure
mercies of David.

Acts 13:35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption.

Acts 13:36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of
God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

Acts 13:37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

Acts 13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through
this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from
which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Acts 13:40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in
the prophets;

Acts 13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work
in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare
it unto you.

Acts 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles
besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

Acts 13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and
religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them,
persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

Acts 13:44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to
hear the word of God.

Acts 13:45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy,
and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and
blaspheming.

Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary
that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put
it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to
the Gentiles.

Acts 13:47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be
a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of
the earth.

Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified
the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

Acts 13:49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

Acts 13:50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the
chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and
expelled them out of their coasts.

Acts 13:51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came
unto Iconium.

Acts 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

Acts 14:1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into
the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the
Jews and also of the Greeks believed.

Acts 14:2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their
minds evil affected against the brethren.

Acts 14:3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which
gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be
done by their hands.

Acts 14:4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the
Jews, and part with the apostles.

Acts 14:5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also
of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,

Acts 14:6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of
Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

Acts 14:7 And there they preached the gospel.

Acts 14:8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being
a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:

Acts 14:9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and
perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

Acts 14:10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped
and walked.

Acts 14:11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their
voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the
likeness of men.

Acts 14:12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because
he was the chief speaker.

Acts 14:13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought
oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the
people.

Acts 14:14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent
their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

Acts 14:15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like
passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities
unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things
that are therein:

Acts 14:16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

Acts 14:17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did
good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts
with food and gladness.

Acts 14:18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that
they had not done sacrifice unto them.

Acts 14:19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who
persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city,
supposing he had been dead.

Acts 14:20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and
came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

Acts 14:21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had
taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to
continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into
the kingdom of God.

Acts 14:23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had
prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.

Acts 14:24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to
Pamphylia.

Acts 14:25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into
Attalia:

Acts 14:26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been
recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.

Acts 14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together,
they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door
of faith unto the Gentiles.

Acts 14:28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.

Acts 15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren,
and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be
saved.

Acts 15:2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and
disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain
other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about
this question.

Acts 15:3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through
Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused
great joy unto all the brethren.

Acts 15:4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the
church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God
had done with them.

Acts 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which
believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them
to keep the law of Moses.

Acts 15:6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this
matter.

Acts 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said
unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice
among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel,
and believe.

Acts 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them
the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

Acts 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts
by faith.

Acts 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of
the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we
shall be saved, even as they.

Acts 15:12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to
Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among
the Gentiles by them.

Acts 15:13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men
and brethren, hearken unto me:

Acts 15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles,
to take out of them a people for his name.

Acts 15:15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

Acts 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of
David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I
will set it up:

Acts 15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the
Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these
things.

Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

Acts 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from
among the Gentiles are turned to God:

Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of
idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him,
being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

Acts 15:22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church,
to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas;
namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:

Acts 15:23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles
and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the
Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:

Acts 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us
have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be
circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

Acts 15:25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send
chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

Acts 15:26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ.

Acts 15:27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you
the same things by mouth.

Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you
no greater burden than these necessary things;

Acts 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and
from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves,
ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

Acts 15:30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they
had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:

Acts 15:31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

Acts 15:32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the
brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

Acts 15:33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in
peace from the brethren unto the apostles.

Acts 15:34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

Acts 15:35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and
preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

Acts 15:36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and
visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord,
and see how they do.

Acts 15:37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was
Mark.

Acts 15:38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed
from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

Acts 15:39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed
asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;

Acts 15:40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the
brethren unto the grace of God.

Acts 15:41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.

Acts 16:1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple
was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess,
and believed; but his father was a Greek:

Acts 16:2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and
Iconium.

Acts 16:3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised
him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that
his father was a Greek.

Acts 16:4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the
decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were
at Jerusalem.

Acts 16:5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased
in number daily.

Acts 16:6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of
Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

Acts 16:7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia:
but the Spirit suffered them not.

Acts 16:8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

Acts 16:9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of
Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

Acts 16:10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to
go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to
preach the gospel unto them.

Acts 16:11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to
Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

Acts 16:12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part
of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.

Acts 16:13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where
prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which
resorted thither.

Acts 16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city
of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that
she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

Acts 16:15 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 there. And she constrained us.

Acts 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel
possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much
gain by soothsaying:

Acts 16:17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are
the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation.

Acts 16:18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and
said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of
her. And he came out the same hour.

Acts 16:19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone,
they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the
rulers,

Acts 16:20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being
Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

Acts 16:21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive,
neither to observe, being Romans.

Acts 16:22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the
magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.

Acts 16:23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them
into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

Acts 16:24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner
prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God:
and the prisoners heard them.

Acts 16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the
foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were
opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

Acts 16:27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing
the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself,
supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

Acts 16:28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for
we are all here.

Acts 16:29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling,
and fell down before Paul and Silas,

Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
be saved, and thy house.

Acts 16:32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that
were in his house.

Acts 16:33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their
stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

Acts 16:34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before
them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

Acts 16:35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying,
Let those men go.

Acts 16:36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The
magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.

Acts 16:37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned,
being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out
privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

Acts 16:38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they
feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

Acts 16:39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and
desired them to depart out of the city.

Acts 16:40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of
Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

Acts 17:1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they
came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:

Acts 17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath
days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

Acts 17:3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and
risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is
Christ.

Acts 17:4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and
of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

Acts 17:5 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them
certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all
the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring
them out to the people.

Acts 17:6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren
unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside
down are come hither also;

Acts 17:7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees
of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.

Acts 17:8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they
heard these things.

Acts 17:9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they
let them go.

Acts 17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night
unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they
received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures
daily, whether those things were so.

Acts 17:12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which
were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

Acts 17:13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of
God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the
people.

Acts 17:14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were
to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.

Acts 17:15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and
receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all
speed, they departed.

Acts 17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred
in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

Acts 17:17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with
the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.

Acts 17:18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks,
encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He
seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them
Jesus, and the resurrection.

Acts 17:19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we
know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?

Acts 17:20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would
know therefore what these things mean.

Acts 17:21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their
time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)

Acts 17:22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of
Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.

Acts 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar
with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly
worship, him declare I unto you.

Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is
Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Acts 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any
thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all
the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the
bounds of their habitation;

Acts 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after
him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also
of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to
think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art
and man's device.

Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth
all men every where to repent:

Acts 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the
world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath
given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Acts 17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked:
and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

Acts 17:33 So Paul departed from among them.

Acts 17:34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which
was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

Acts 18:1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

Acts 18:2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come
from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all
Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

Acts 18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and
wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

Acts 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the
Jews and the Greeks.

Acts 18:5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was
pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.

Acts 18:6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his
raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean:
from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

Acts 18:7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house,
named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the
synagogue.

Acts 18:8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the
Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and
were baptized.

Acts 18:9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not
afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

Acts 18:10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee:
for I have much people in this city.

Acts 18:11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word
of God among them.

Acts 18:12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made
insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment
seat,

Acts 18:13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the
law.

Acts 18:14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto
the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason
would that I should bear with you:

Acts 18:15 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look
ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.

Acts 18:16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.

Acts 18:17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the
synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of
those things.

Acts 18:18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took
his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him
Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

Acts 18:19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself
entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

Acts 18:20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he
consented not;

Acts 18:21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this
feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will.
And he sailed from Ephesus.

Acts 18:22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the
church, he went down to Antioch.

Acts 18:23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went
over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the
disciples.

Acts 18:24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent
man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

Acts 18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent
in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing
only the baptism of John.

Acts 18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila
and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the
way of God more perfectly.

Acts 18:27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote,
exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them
much which had believed through grace:

Acts 18:28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, showing by
the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

Acts 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul
having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain
disciples,

Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye
believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there
be any Holy Ghost.

Acts 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they
said, Unto John's baptism.

Acts 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of
repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which
should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord
Jesus.

Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on
them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

Acts 19:7 And all the men were about twelve.

Acts 19:8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of
three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of
God.

Acts 19:9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of
that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the
disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

Acts 19:10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they
which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

Acts 19:11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

Acts 19:12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or
aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of
them.

Acts 19:13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to
call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We
adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

Acts 19:14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the
priests, which did so.

Acts 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I
know; but who are ye?

Acts 19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and
overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house
naked and wounded.

Acts 19:17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at
Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was
magnified.

Acts 19:18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their
deeds.

Acts 19:19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books
together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them,
and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

Acts 19:20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

Acts 19:21 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.

Acts 19:22 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him,
Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.

Acts 19:23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.

Acts 19:24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made
silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;

Acts 19:25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and
said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

Acts 19:26 Moreover 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:

Acts 19:27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought;
but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and
her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

Acts 19:28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and
cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

Acts 19:29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught
Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they
rushed with one accord into the theatre.

Acts 19:30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the
disciples suffered him not.

Acts 19:31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent
unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.

Acts 19:32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the
assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come
together.

Acts 19:33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting
him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his
defence unto the people.

Acts 19:34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about
the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

Acts 19:35 And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men
of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the
Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which
fell down from Jupiter?

Acts 19:36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought
to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

Acts 19:37 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers
of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.

Acts 19:38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him,
have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let
them implead one another.

Acts 19:39 But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be
determined in a lawful assembly.

Acts 19:40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's
uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.

Acts 19:41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

Acts 20:1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the
disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.

Acts 20:2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much
exhortation, he came into Greece,

Acts 20:3 And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him,
as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.

Acts 20:4 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the
Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus;
and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

Acts 20:5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.

Acts 20:6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened
bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came
together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the
morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

Acts 20:8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were
gathered together.

Acts 20:9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus,
being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down
with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

Acts 20:10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said,
Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

Acts 20:11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and
eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

Acts 20:12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little
comforted.

Acts 20:13 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there
intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go
afoot.

Acts 20:14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to
Mitylene.

Acts 20:15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios;
and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next
day we came to Miletus.

Acts 20:16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not
spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at
Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

Acts 20:17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the
church.

Acts 20:18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from
the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at
all seasons,

Acts 20:19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears,
and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

Acts 20:20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but
have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance
toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Acts 20:22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not
knowing the things that shall befall me there:

Acts 20:23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that
bonds and afflictions abide me.

Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear
unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry,
which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of
God.

Acts 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone
preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

Acts 20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the
blood of all men.

Acts 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of
God.

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over
the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God,
which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves
enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Acts 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse
things, to draw away disciples after them.

Acts 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I
ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his
grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all
them which are sanctified.

Acts 20:33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

Acts 20:34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my
necessities, and to them that were with me.

Acts 20:35 I have showed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to
support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It
is more blessed to give than to receive.

Acts 20:36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with
them all.

Acts 20:37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,

Acts 20:38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they
should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.

Acts 21:1 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had
launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto
Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

Acts 21:2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and
set forth.

Acts 21:3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand,
and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade
her burden.

Acts 21:4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to
Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

Acts 21:5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our
way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were
out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.

Acts 21:6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and
they returned home again.

Acts 21:7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to
Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

Acts 21:8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came
unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which
was one of the seven; and abode with him.

Acts 21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

Acts 21:10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a
certain prophet, named Agabus.

Acts 21:11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound
his own hands and feet, 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.

Acts 21:12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place,
besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

Acts 21:13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart?
for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name
of the Lord Jesus.

Acts 21:14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will
of the Lord be done.

Acts 21:15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to
Jerusalem.

Acts 21:16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and
brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should
lodge.

Acts 21:17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us
gladly.

Acts 21:18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all
the elders were present.

Acts 21:19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what
things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

Acts 21:20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto
him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe;
and they are all zealous of the law:

Acts 21:21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews
which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to
circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

Acts 21:22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for
they will hear that thou art come.

Acts 21:23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which
have a vow on them;

Acts 21:24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with
them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things,
whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself
also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

Acts 21:25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and
concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves
from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from
fornication.

Acts 21:26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with
them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of
purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

Acts 21:27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of
Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid
hands on him,

Acts 21:28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth
all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and
further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy
place.

Acts 21:29 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an
Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

Acts 21:30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they
took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.

Acts 21:31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief
captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

Acts 21:32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto
them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating
of Paul.

Acts 21:33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him
to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

Acts 21:34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and
when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be
carried into the castle.

Acts 21:35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of
the soldiers for the violence of the people.

Acts 21:36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with
him.

Acts 21:37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief
captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

Acts 21:38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an
uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were
murderers?

Acts 21:39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in
Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak
unto the people.

Acts 21:40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and
beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great
silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

Acts 22:1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now
unto you.

Acts 22:2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them,
they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

Acts 22:3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in
Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught
according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous
toward God, as ye all are this day.

Acts 22:4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering
into prisons both men and women.

Acts 22:5 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 went
to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be
punished.

Acts 22:6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh
unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round
about me.

Acts 22:7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me,
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

Acts 22:8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am
Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

Acts 22:9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid;
but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

Acts 22:10 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.

Acts 22:11 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.

Acts 22:12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good
report of all the Jews which dwelt there,

Acts 22:13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive
thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.

Acts 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou
shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice
of his mouth.

Acts 22:15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen
and heard.

Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away
thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Acts 22:17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem,
even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;

Acts 22:18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out
of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.

Acts 22:19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every
synagogue them that believed on thee:

Acts 22:20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was
standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that
slew him.

Acts 22:21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto
the Gentiles.

Acts 22:22 And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up
their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not
fit that he should live.

Acts 22:23 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust
into the air,

Acts 22:24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle,
and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore
they cried so against him.

Acts 22:25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion
that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and
uncondemned?

Acts 22:26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief
captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.

Acts 22:27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou
a Roman? He said, Yea.

Acts 22:28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this
freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.

Acts 22:29 Then straightway they departed from him which should have
examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was
a Roman, and because he had bound him.

Acts 22:30 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty
wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and
commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul
down, and set him before them.

Acts 23:1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren,
I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.

Acts 23:2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to
smite him on the mouth.

Acts 23:3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall:
for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten
contrary to the law?

Acts 23:4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?

Acts 23:5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest:
for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

Acts 23:6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the
other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a
Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am
called in question.

Acts 23:7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the
Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.

Acts 23:8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither
angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.

Acts 23:9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the
Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if
a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

Acts 23:10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain,
fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the
soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him
into the castle.

Acts 23:11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of
good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou
bear witness also at Rome.

Acts 23:12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and
bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink
till they had killed Paul.

Acts 23:13 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.

Acts 23:14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have
bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have
slain Paul.

Acts 23:15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain
that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would inquire
something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are
ready to kill him.

Acts 23:16 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he
went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.

Acts 23:17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring
this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell
him.

Acts 23:18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said,
Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man
unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.

Acts 23:19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him
aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?

Acts 23:20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou
wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would
inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.

Acts 23:21 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of
them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they
will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready,
looking for a promise from thee.

Acts 23:22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged
him, See thou tell no man that thou hast showed these things to me.

Acts 23:23 And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two
hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and
spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;

Acts 23:24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him
safe unto Felix the governor.

Acts 23:25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:

Acts 23:26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth
greeting.

Acts 23:27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of
them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was
a Roman.

Acts 23:28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him,
I brought him forth into their council:

Acts 23:29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to
have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

Acts 23:30 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man,
I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say
before thee what they had against him. Farewell.

Acts 23:31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and
brought him by night to Antipatris.

Acts 23:32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned
to the castle:

Acts 23:33 Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the
governor, presented Paul also before him.

Acts 23:34 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what
province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;

Acts 23:35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And
he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.

Acts 24:1 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the
elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor
against Paul.

Acts 24:2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him,
saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy
deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,

Acts 24:3 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all
thankfulness.

Acts 24:4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray
thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.

Acts 24:5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of
sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect
of the Nazarenes:

Acts 24:6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and
would have judged according to our law.

Acts 24:7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence
took him away out of our hands,

Acts 24:8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom
thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.

Acts 24:9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.

Acts 24:10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to
speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge
unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:

Acts 24:11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but
twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.

Acts 24:12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man,
neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:

Acts 24:13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.

Acts 24:14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call
heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are
written in the law and in the prophets:

Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that
there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void
of offence toward God, and toward men.

Acts 24:17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and
offerings.

Acts 24:18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple,
neither with multitude, nor with tumult.

Acts 24:19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had
ought against me.

Acts 24:20 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil
doing in me, while I stood before the council,

Acts 24:21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among
them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you
this day.

Acts 24:22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge
of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall
come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.

Acts 24:23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have
liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or
come unto him.

Acts 24:24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla,
which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in
Christ.

Acts 24:25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to
come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a
convenient season, I will call for thee.

Acts 24:26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that
he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with
him.

Acts 24:27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and
Felix, willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

Acts 25:1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he
ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

Acts 25:2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him
against Paul, and besought him,

Acts 25:3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to
Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

Acts 25:4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and
that he himself would depart shortly thither.

Acts 25:5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down
with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.

Acts 25:6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went
down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded
Paul to be brought.

Acts 25:7 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem
stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which
they could not prove.

Acts 25:8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the
Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any
thing at all.

Acts 25:9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and
said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before
me?

Acts 25:10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought
to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.

Acts 25:11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of
death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these
accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

Acts 25:12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered,
Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.

Acts 25:13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto
Caesarea to salute Festus.

Acts 25:14 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's
cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

Acts 25:15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the
elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.

Acts 25:16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver
any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to
face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against
him.

Acts 25:17 Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the
morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.

Acts 25:18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none
accusation of such things as I supposed:

Acts 25:19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition,
and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

Acts 25:20 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him
whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.

Acts 25:21 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of
Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

Acts 25:22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself.
To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

Acts 25:23 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great
pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and
principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.

Acts 25:24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present
with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt
with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live
any longer.

Acts 25:25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death,
and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

Acts 25:26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore
I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king
Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.

Acts 25:27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not
withal to signify the crimes laid against him.

Acts 26:1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for
thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:

Acts 26:2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for
myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of
the Jews:

Acts 26:3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and
questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me
patiently.

Acts 26:4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine
own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

Acts 26:5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that
after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

Acts 26:6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of
God unto our fathers:

Acts 26:7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day
and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of
the Jews.

Acts 26:8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God
should raise the dead?

Acts 26:9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things
contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

Acts 26:10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I
shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when
they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

Acts 26:11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to
blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto
strange cities.

Acts 26:12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission
from the chief priests,

Acts 26:13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above
the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed
with me.

Acts 26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice
speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Acts 26:15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou
persecutest.

Acts 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee
for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things
which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto
thee;

Acts 26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom
now I send thee,

Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and
from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Acts 26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the
heavenly vision:

Acts 26:20 But showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and
throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they
should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

Acts 26:21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about
to kill me.

Acts 26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day,
witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which
the prophets and Moses did say should come:

Acts 26:23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that
should rise from the dead, and should show light unto the people, and to the
Gentiles.

Acts 26:24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice,
Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

Acts 26:25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the
words of truth and soberness.

Acts 26:26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak
freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for
this thing was not done in a corner.

Acts 26:27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou
believest.

Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a
Christian.

Acts 26:29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all
that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except
these bonds.

Acts 26:30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor,
and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

Acts 26:31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves,
saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

Acts 26:32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at
liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

Acts 27:1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they
delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion
of Augustus' band.

Acts 27:2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to
sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,
being with us.

Acts 27:3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously
entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh
himself.

Acts 27:4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus,
because the winds were contrary.

Acts 27:5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we
came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

Acts 27:6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into
Italy; and he put us therein.

Acts 27:7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over
against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against
Salmone;

Acts 27:8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair
havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

Acts 27:9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous,
because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

Acts 27:10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be
with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our
lives.

Acts 27:11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of
the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

Acts 27:12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more
part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to
Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the
south west and north west.

Acts 27:13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had
obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

Acts 27:14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind,
called Euroclydon.

Acts 27:15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the
wind, we let her drive.

Acts 27:16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had
much work to come by the boat:

Acts 27:17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the
ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and
so were driven.

Acts 27:18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they
lightened the ship;

Acts 27:19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of
the ship.

Acts 27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no
small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

Acts 27:21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them,
and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from
Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

Acts 27:22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no
loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.

Acts 27:23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am,
and whom I serve,

Acts 27:24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and,
lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

Acts 27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it
shall be even as it was told me.

Acts 27:26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

Acts 27:27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and
down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some
country;

Acts 27:28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone
a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

Acts 27:29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast
four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

Acts 27:30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they
had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have
cast anchors out of the foreship,

Acts 27:31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these
abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

Acts 27:32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall
off.

Acts 27:33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take
meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and
continued fasting, having taken nothing.

Acts 27:34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your
health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

Acts 27:35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to
God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

Acts 27:36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

Acts 27:37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen
souls.

Acts 27:38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast
out the wheat into the sea.

Acts 27:39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered
a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were
possible, to thrust in the ship.

Acts 27:40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves
unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the
wind, and made toward shore.

Acts 27:41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship
aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder
part was broken with the violence of the waves.

Acts 27:42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of
them should swim out, and escape.

Acts 27:43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their
purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first
into the sea, and get to land:

Acts 27:44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the
ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

Acts 28:1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was
called Melita.

Acts 28:2 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they
kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and
because of the cold.

Acts 28:3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on
the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

Acts 28:4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand,
they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he
hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

Acts 28:5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

Acts 28:6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down
dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come
to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

Acts 28:7 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the
island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days
courteously.

Acts 28:8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a
fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his
hands on him, and healed him.

Acts 28:9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the
island, came, and were healed:

Acts 28:10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed,
they laded us with such things as were necessary.

Acts 28:11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which
had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.

Acts 28:12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

Acts 28:13 And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and
after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:

Acts 28:14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them
seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

Acts 28:15 And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet
us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he
thanked God, and took courage.

Acts 28:16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners
to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a
soldier that kept him.

Acts 28:17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief
of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men
and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs
of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of
the Romans.

Acts 28:18 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because
there was no cause of death in me.

Acts 28:19 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal
unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

Acts 28:20 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and
to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this
chain.

Acts 28:21 And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea
concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came showed or spake any
harm of thee.

Acts 28:22 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as
concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

Acts 28:23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him
into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God,
persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the
prophets, from morning till evening.

Acts 28:24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed
not.

Acts 28:25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after
that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet
unto our fathers,

Acts 28:26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and
shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

Acts 28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are
dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with
their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and
should be converted, and I should heal them.

Acts 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent
unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

Acts 28:29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had
great reasoning among themselves.

Acts 28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and
received all that came in unto him,

Acts 28:31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which
concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
