Acts 1


  • 1. The former <4413> treatise <3056> have I made <4160>, O Theophilus <2321>, of all <3956> that Jesus <2424> began <756> both <5037> to do <4160> and teach <1321>,
  • 2 Until <891> the day <2250> in which <3739> he was taken <353> up, after that he through <1223> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> had given commandments <1781> unto the apostles <652> whom <3739> he had chosen <1586>:
  • 3 To whom <3739> also <2532> he shewed <3936> himself <1438> alive <2198> after <3326> his passion <3958> by many <4183> infallible proofs <5039>, being seen <3700> of them forty <5062> days <2250>, and speaking <3004> of the things pertaining <4012> to the kingdom <932> of God <2316>:
  • 4 And, being assembled <4871> together <4811> with [them], commanded <3853> them that they should not depart <5562> from Jerusalem <2414>, but wait <4037> for the promise <1860> of the Father <3962>, which <3739>, [saith he], ye have heard <191> of me.
  • 5 For John <2491> truly <3303> baptized <907> with water <5204>; but ye shall be baptized <907> with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> not many <4183> days <2250> hence <5025>.
  • 6. When they therefore <3767> were come <4905> together <4905>, they asked <1905> of him, saying <3004>, Lord <2962>, wilt thou at <1722> this <5129> time <5550> restore <600> again <600> the kingdom <932> to Israel <2474>?
  • 7 And he said <2036> unto them, It is not for you to know <1097> the times <5550> or <2228> the seasons <2540>, which <3739> the Father <3962> hath put <5087> in his own <2398> power <1849>.
  • 8 But ye shall receive <2983> power <1411>, after that the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> is come <1904> upon you: and ye shall be witnesses <3144> unto me both <5037> in Jerusalem <2419>, and in all <3956> Judaea <2449>, and in Samaria <4540>, and unto the uttermost <2078> part of the earth <1093>.
  • 9 And when he had spoken <2036> these <5023> things, while they beheld <991>, he was taken <1869> up; and a cloud <3507> received <5274> him out of their sight <3788>.
  • 10 And while <5613> they looked <816> stedfastly <816> toward <1519> heaven <3772> as he went <4198> up, behold <2400>, two <1417> men <435> stood <2936> by them in white <3022> apparel <2066>;
  • 11 Which <3739> also <2532> said <2036>, Ye men <435> of Galilee <1056>, why <5101> stand <2476> ye gazing <1689> up into <1519> heaven <3772>? this <3778> same <3778> Jesus <2424>, which <3588> is taken <353> up from you into <1519> heaven <3772>, shall so <3779> come <2064> in like <3779> manner <5158> as ye have seen <2300> him go <4198> into <1519> heaven <3772>.
  • 12. Then <5119> returned <5290> they unto Jerusalem <2419> from the mount <3735> called <2564> Olivet <1638>, which <3739> is from Jerusalem <2419> a sabbath <4521> day's journey <3598>.
  • 13 And when <3753> they were come <1525> in, they went <305> up into <1519> an upper <5253> room <5253>, where <3757> abode <2650> both <5037> Peter <4074>, and James <2385>, and John <2491>, and Andrew <406>, Philip <5376>, and Thomas <2381>, Bartholomew <918>, and Matthew <3156>, James <2385> [the son] of Alphaeus <256>, and Simon <4613> Zelotes <2208>, and Judas <2455> [the brother] of James <2385>.
  • 14 These <3778> all <3956> continued <4342> with one <3661> accord <3661> in prayer <4335> and supplication <1162>, with the women <1135>, and Mary <3137> the mother <3384> of Jesus <2424>, and with his brethren <80>.
  • 15. And in those <5025> days <2250> Peter <4074> stood <450> up in the midst <3319> of the disciples <3101>, and said <2036>, (the number <3793> of names <3686> together <846> were about <5613> an hundred <1540> and twenty <1501>,)
  • 16 Men <435> [and] brethren <80>, this <5026> scripture <1124> must <1163> needs have been fulfilled <4137>, which <3739> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> by the mouth <4750> of David <1138> spake <4277> before <4277> concerning <4012> Judas <2455>, which <3588> was guide <3595> to them that took <4815> Jesus <2424>.
  • 17 For he was numbered <2674> with us, and had obtained <2975> part <2819> of this <5026> ministry <1248>.
  • 18 Now <3767> this <3778> man purchased <2932> a field <5564> with the reward <3408> of iniquity <93>; and falling <1096> headlong <4248>, he burst <2997> asunder <2977> in the midst <3319>, and all <3956> his bowels <4698> gushed <1632> out.
  • 19 And it was known <1110> unto all <3956> the dwellers <2730> at Jerusalem <2419>; insomuch <5620> as that field <5564> is called <2564> in their proper <2398> tongue <1258>, Aceldama <184>, that is to say, The field <5564> of blood <129>.
  • 20 For it is written <1125> in the book <976> of Psalms <5568>, Let his habitation <1886> be desolate <2048>, and let no <3361> man dwell <2730> therein <846>: and his bishoprick <1984> let another <2087> take <2983>.
  • 21 Wherefore <3767> of these <5130> men which have companied <4905> with us all <3956> the time <5550> that the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> went <1831> in and out among <1909> us,
  • 22 Beginning <756> from the baptism <908> of John <2491>, unto that same day <2250> that he was taken <353> up from us, must <1163> one <1520> be ordained <1096> to be a witness <3144> with us of his resurrection <386>.
  • 23 And they appointed <2476> two <1417>, Joseph <2501> called <2564> Barsabas <923>, who <3739> was surnamed <1941> Justus <2459>, and Matthias <3159>.
  • 24 And they prayed <4336>, and said <2036>, Thou, Lord <2962>, which knowest <2589> the hearts <2589> of all <3956> [men], shew <322> whether <1520> of these <5130> two <1417> thou hast chosen <1586>,
  • 25 That he may take <2983> part <2819> of this <5026> ministry <1248> and apostleship <651>, from which <3739> Judas <2455> by transgression <3845> fell, that he might go <4198> to his own <2398> place <5117>.
  • 26 And they gave <1325> forth their lots <2819>; and the lot <2819> fell <4098> upon Matthias <3159>; and he was numbered <4785> with the eleven <1733> apostles <652>.
  • Acts 2
  • 1. And when <3588> the day <2250> of Pentecost <4005> was fully <4845> come <4845>, they were all <537> with one <3661> accord <3661> in one <848> place.
  • 2 And suddenly <869> there came <1096> a sound <2279> from heaven <3772> as of a rushing <5342> mighty <972> wind <4157>, and it filled <4137> all <3650> the house <3624> where <3757> they were sitting <2521>.
  • 3 And there appeared <3700> unto them cloven <1266> tongues <1100> like <5616> as of fire <4442>, and it sat <2523> upon each <1538> of them.
  • 4 And they were all <537> filled <4130> with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, and began <756> to speak <2980> with other <2087> tongues <1100>, as the Spirit <4151> gave <1325> them utterance <669>.
  • 5. And there were dwelling <2730> at <1722> Jerusalem <2419> Jews <2453>, devout <2126> men <435>, out of every <3956> nation <1484> under <5259> heaven <3772>.
  • 6 Now <1161> when this <5026> was noised <5408> abroad <5456>, the multitude <4128> came <4905> together <4905>, and were confounded <4797>, because <3754> that every <1538> man <1520> heard <191> them speak <2980> in his own <2398> language <1258>.
  • 7 And they were all <3956> amazed <1839> and marvelled <2296>, saying <3004> one <240> to another <240>, Behold <2400>, are not all <3956> these <3778> which <3588> speak <2980> Galilaeans <1057>?
  • 8 And how <4459> hear <191> we every <1538> man <1520> in our own <2398> tongue <1258>, wherein <3757> we were born <1080>?
  • 9 Parthians <3934>, and Medes <3370>, and Elamites <1639>, and the dwellers <2730> in Mesopotamia <3318>, and in Judaea <2449>, and Cappadocia <2587>, in Pontus <4195>, and Asia <773>,
  • 10 Phrygia <5435>, and Pamphylia <3828>, in Egypt <125>, and in the parts <3313> of Libya <3033> about <2596> Cyrene <2957>, and strangers <1927> of Rome <4516>, Jews <2453> and proselytes <4339>,
  • 11 Cretes <2912> and Arabians <690>, we do hear <191> them speak <2980> in our tongues <1100> the wonderful <3167> works of God <2316>.
  • 12 And they were all <3956> amazed <1839>, and were in doubt <1280>, saying <3004> one <243> to another <243>, What <5101> meaneth <1511> this <5124>?
  • 13 Others <2087> mocking <5512> said <3004>, These men are full <3325> of new <1098> wine <1098>.
  • 14. But Peter <4074>, standing <2476> up with the eleven <1733>, lifted <1869> up his voice <5456>, and said <669> unto them, Ye men <435> of Judaea <2453>, and all <537> [ye] that dwell <2730> at Jerusalem <2419>, be this <5124> known <1110> unto you, and hearken <1801> to my words <4487>:
  • 15 For these <3778> are not drunken <3184>, as ye suppose <5274>, seeing <1063> it is [but] the third <5154> hour <5610> of the day <2250>.
  • 16 But this <5124> is that which was spoken <2046> by the prophet <4396> Joel <2493>;
  • 17 And it shall come <1511> to pass in the last <2078> days <2250>, saith <3004> God <2316>, I will pour <1632> out of my Spirit <4151> upon all <3956> flesh <4561>: and your <5216> sons <5207> and your <5216> daughters <2364> shall prophesy <4395>, and your <5216> young <3495> men <3495> shall see <3070> visions <3706>, and your <5216> old <4245> men shall dream <1798> dreams <1797>:
  • 18 And on <1909> my servants <1401> and on <1909> my handmaidens <1399> I will pour <1632> out in those <1565> days <2250> of my Spirit <4151>; and they shall prophesy <4395>:
  • 19 And I will shew <1325> wonders <5059> in heaven <3772> above <507>, and signs <4591> in the earth <1093> beneath <2736>; blood <129>, and fire <4442>, and vapour <822> of smoke <2586>:
  • 20 The sun <2246> shall be turned <4762> into <1519> darkness <4655>, and the moon <4582> into <1519> blood <129>, before <2228> that great <3173> and notable <2016> day <2250> of the Lord <2962> come <2064>:
  • 21 And it shall come <1511> to pass, [that] whosoever <3739> shall call <1941> on <1941> the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> shall be saved <4982>.
  • 22 Ye men <435> of Israel <2475>, hear <191> these <5128> words <3056>; Jesus <2424> of Nazareth <3478>, a man <435> approved <584> of God <2316> among <1519> you by miracles <1411> and wonders <5059> and signs <4591>, which <3739> God <2316> did <4160> by him in the midst <3319> of you, as ye yourselves <846> also <2532> know <1492>:
  • 23 Him, being delivered <1560> by the determinate <3724> counsel <1012> and foreknowledge <4268> of God <2316>, ye have taken <2983>, and by wicked <459> hands <5495> have crucified <4362> and slain <337>:
  • 24 Whom <3739> God <2316> hath raised <450> up, having loosed <3089> the pains <5604> of death <2288>: because <2530> it was not possible <1415> that he should be holden <2902> of it.
  • 25 For David <1138> speaketh <3004> concerning <1519> him, I foresaw <4308> the Lord <2962> always <3956> before <1799> my face <1799>, for he is on <1537> my right <1188> hand, that I should not be moved <4531>:
  • 26 Therefore <5124> did my heart <2588> rejoice <2165>, and my tongue <1100> was glad <21>; moreover <2089> also <2532> my flesh <4561> shall rest <2681> in hope <1680>:
  • 27 Because <3754> thou wilt not leave <1459> my soul <5590> in hell <86>, neither <3761> wilt thou suffer <1325> thine <4675> Holy <3741> One to see <1492> corruption <1312>.
  • 28 Thou hast made <1107> known <1107> to me the ways <3598> of life <2222>; thou shalt make <4137> me full <4137> of joy <2167> with thy countenance <4383>.
  • 29 Men <435> [and] brethren <80>, let <1832> me freely <3954> speak <2036> unto you of the patriarch <3966> David <1138>, that he is both <2532> dead <5053> and buried <2290>, and his sepulchre <3418> is with us unto this <5026> day <2250>.
  • 30 Therefore <3767> being <5225> a prophet <4396>, and knowing <1492> that God <2316> had sworn <3660> with an oath <3727> to him, that of the fruit <2590> of his loins <3751>, according <2596> to the flesh <4561>, he would raise <450> up Christ <5547> to sit <2523> on <1909> his throne <2362>;
  • 31 He seeing <4275> this before <4275> spake <2980> of the resurrection <386> of Christ <5547>, that his soul <5590> was not left <2641> in hell <86>, neither <3761> his flesh <4561> did see <1492> corruption <1312>.
  • 32 This <5126> Jesus <2424> hath God <2316> raised <450> up, whereof <3739> we all <3956> are witnesses <3144>.
  • 33 Therefore <3767> being by the right <1188> hand of God <2316> exalted <5312>, and having received <2983> of the Father <3962> the promise <1860> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, he hath shed <1632> forth <1632> this <5124>, which <3739> ye now <3568> see <991> and hear <191>.
  • 34 For David <1138> is not ascended <305> into <1519> the heavens <3772>: but he saith <3004> himself <846>, The LORD <2962> said <2036> unto my Lord <2962>, Sit <2521> thou on <1537> my right <1188> hand,
  • 35 Until <2193> I make <5087> thy foes <2190> thy footstool <5286>.
  • 36 Therefore <3767> let all <3956> the house <3624> of Israel <2474> know <1097> assuredly <806>, that God <2316> hath made <4160> that same <5126> Jesus <2424>, whom <3739> ye have crucified <4717>, both <2532> Lord <2962> and Christ <5547>.
  • 37. Now <1161> when they heard <191> [this], they were pricked <2660> in their heart <2588>, and said <2036> unto Peter <4074> and to the rest <3062> of the apostles <652>, Men <435> [and] brethren <80>, what <5101> shall we do <4160>?
  • 38 Then <1161> Peter <4074> said <5346> unto them, Repent <3340>, and be baptized <907> every <1538> one of you in the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for the remission <859> of sins <266>, and ye shall receive <2983> the gift <1431> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.
  • 39 For the promise <1860> is unto you, and to your <5216> children <5043>, and to all <3956> that are afar <3112> off, [even] as many <3745> as the Lord <2962> our God <2316> shall call <4341>.
  • 40 And with many <4119> other <2087> words <3056> did he testify <1263> and exhort <3870>, saying <3004>, Save <4982> yourselves from this <5026> untoward <4646> generation <1074>.
  • 41 Then <3767> they that gladly <780> received <588> his word <3056> were baptized <907>: and the same <1565> day <2250> there were added <4369> [unto them] about <5616> three <5153> thousand <5153> souls <5590>.
  • 42. And they continued <4342> stedfastly <4342> in the apostles <652>' doctrine <1322> and fellowship <2842>, and in breaking <2800> of bread <740>, and in prayers <4335>.
  • 43 And fear <5401> came <1096> upon every <3956> soul <5590>: and many <4183> wonders <5059> and signs <4591> were done <1096> by the apostles <652>.
  • 44 And all <3956> that believed <4100> were together <846>, and had <2192> all <537> things common <2839>;
  • 45 And sold <4097> their possessions <2933> and goods <5223>, and parted <1266> them to all <3956> [men], as every <5100> man had <2192> need <5532>.
  • 46 And they, continuing <4342> daily <2250> with one <3661> accord <3661> in the temple <2411>, and breaking <2806> bread <740> from house <3624> to house <3624>, did eat <3335> their meat <5160> with gladness <20> and singleness <858> of heart <2588>,
  • 47 Praising <134> God <2316>, and having <2192> favour <5485> with all <3650> the people <2992>. And the Lord <2962> added <4369> to the church <1577> daily <2250> such as should be saved <4982>.
  • Acts 3
  • 1. Now <1161> Peter <4074> and John <2491> went <305> up together <846> into <1519> the temple <2411> at <1909> the hour <5610> of prayer <4335>, [being] the ninth <1766> [hour].
  • 2 And a certain <5100> man <435> lame <5560> from his mother's <3384> womb <2836> was carried <941>, whom <3739> they laid <5087> daily <2250> at <4314> the gate <2374> of the temple <2411> which <3588> is called <3004> Beautiful <5611>, to ask <154> alms <1654> of them that entered <1531> into <1519> the temple <2411>;
  • 3 Who <3739> seeing <1492> Peter <4074> and John <2491> about <3195> to go <1524> into <1519> the temple <2411> asked <2065> an alms <1654>.
  • 4 And Peter <4074>, fastening <816> his eyes upon him with John <2491>, said <2036>, Look <991> on <1519> us.
  • 5 And he gave <1907> heed <1907> unto them, expecting <4328> to receive <2983> something <5100> of them.
  • 6 Then <1161> Peter <4074> said <2036>, Silver <694> and gold <5553> have <5225> I none <3756>; but such as I have <2192> give <1325> I thee: In the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> of Nazareth <3478> rise <1453> up and walk <4043>.
  • 7 And he took <4084> him by the right <1188> hand <5495>, and lifted <1453> [him] up: and immediately <3916> his feet <939> and ankle <4974> bones <4974> received <4732> strength <4732>.
  • 8 And he leaping <1814> up stood <2476>, and walked <4043>, and entered <1525> with them into <1519> the temple <2411>, walking <4043>, and leaping <242>, and praising <134> God <2316>.
  • 9 And all <3956> the people <2992> saw <1492> him walking <4043> and praising <134> God <2316>:
  • 10 And they knew <1921> that it was he which <3588> sat <2521> for alms <1654> at <1909> the Beautiful <5611> gate <4439> of the temple <2411>: and they were filled <4130> with wonder <2285> and amazement <1611> at <1909> that which had happened <4819> unto him.
  • 11 And as the lame <5560> man which was healed <2390> held <2902> Peter <4074> and John <2491>, all <3956> the people <2992> ran <4936> together <846> unto them in the porch <4745> that is called <2564> Solomon's <4672>, greatly <1569> wondering <1569>.
  • 12. And when Peter <4074> saw <1492> [it], he answered <611> unto the people <2992>, Ye men <435> of Israel <2475>, why <5101> marvel <2296> ye at <1909> this <5129>? or <2228> why <5101> look <816> ye so earnestly <816> on <1909> us, as though by our own <2398> power <1411> or <2228> holiness <2150> we had made <4160> this <846> man to walk <4043>?
  • 13 The God <2316> of Abraham <11>, and of Isaac <2464>, and of Jacob <2384>, the God <2316> of our fathers <3962>, hath glorified <1392> his Son <3816> Jesus <2424>; whom <3739> ye delivered <3860> up, and denied <720> him in the presence <4383> of Pilate <4091>, when he was determined <2919> to let <630> [him] go <630>.
  • 14 But ye denied <720> the Holy <40> One and the Just <1342>, and desired <154> a murderer <5406> to be granted <5483> unto you;
  • 15 And killed <615> the Prince <747> of life <2222>, whom <3739> God <2316> hath raised <1453> from the dead <3498>; whereof <3739> we are witnesses <3144>.
  • 16 And his name <3686> through <1909> faith <4102> in his name <3686> hath made <4732> this <5026> man strong <4732>, whom <3739> ye see <2334> and know <1492>: yea <2532>, the faith <4102> which is by him hath given <1325> him this <5126> perfect <3647> soundness <3647> in the presence <561> of you all <3956>.
  • 17 And now <3568>, brethren <80>, I wot <1492> that through <2596> ignorance <52> ye did <4238> [it], as [did] also <2532> your <5216> rulers <758>.
  • 18 But those things, which <3739> God <2316> before <4293> had shewed <4293> by the mouth <4750> of all <3956> his prophets <4396>, that Christ <5547> should suffer <3958>, he hath so <3779> fulfilled <4137>.
  • 19 Repent <3340> ye therefore <3767>, and be converted <1994>, that your <5216> sins <266> may be blotted <1813> out, when <3704> the times <2540> of refreshing <403> shall come <2064> from the presence <4383> of the Lord <2962>;
  • 20 And he shall send <649> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, which before <4296> was preached <4296> unto you:
  • 21 Whom <3739> the heaven <3772> must <1163> receive <1209> until <891> the times <5550> of restitution <605> of all <3956> things, which <3739> God <2316> hath spoken <2980> by the mouth <4750> of all <3956> his holy <40> prophets <4396> since <575> the world <165> began.
  • 22 For Moses <3475> truly <3303> said <2036> unto the fathers <3962>, A prophet <4396> shall the Lord <2962> your <5216> God <2316> raise <450> up unto you of your <5216> brethren <80>, like <3945> unto me; him shall ye hear <191> in all <3956> things whatsoever <302> he shall say <2980> unto you.
  • 23 And it shall come <1511> to pass, [that] every <3956> soul <5590>, which <302> will not hear <191> that prophet <4396>, shall be destroyed <1842> from among the people <2992>.
  • 24 Yea <1161>, and all <3956> the prophets <4396> from Samuel <4545> and those <3588> that follow <2517> after <2517>, as many <3745> as have spoken <2980>, have likewise <2532> foretold <4293> of these <5025> days <2250>.
  • 25 Ye are the children <5207> of the prophets <4396>, and of the covenant <1242> which <3739> God <2316> made <1303> with our fathers <3962>, saying <3004> unto Abraham <11>, And in thy seed <4690> shall all <3956> the kindreds <3965> of the earth <1093> be blessed <1757>.
  • 26 Unto you first <4412> God <2316>, having raised <450> up his Son <3816> Jesus <2424>, sent <649> him to bless <2127> you, in turning <654> away <654> every <1538> one of you from his iniquities <4189>.
  • Acts 4
  • 1. And as they spake <2980> unto the people <2992>, the priests <2409>, and the captain <4755> of the temple <2411>, and the Sadducees <4523>, came <2186> upon them,
  • 2 Being grieved <1278> that they taught <1321> the people <2992>, and preached <2605> through <1722> Jesus <2424> the resurrection <386> from the dead <3498>.
  • 3 And they laid <1911> hands <5495> on them, and put <5087> [them] in hold <5084> unto the next <839> day <839>: for it was now <2236> eventide <2073>.
  • 4 Howbeit many <4183> of them which heard <191> the word <3056> believed <4100>; and the number <706> of the men <435> was about <5616> five <4002> thousand <5505>.
  • 5. And it came <1096> to pass on <1909> the morrow <839>, that their rulers <758>, and elders <4245>, and scribes <1122>,
  • 6 And Annas <452> the high <749> priest <749>, and Caiaphas <2533>, and John <2491>, and Alexander <223>, and as many <3745> as were of the kindred <1085> of the high <749> priest <748>, were gathered <4863> together <4863> at <1519> Jerusalem <2419>.
  • 7 And when they had set <2476> them in the midst <3319>, they asked <4441>, By what <4169> power <1411>, or <2228> by what <4169> name <3686>, have ye done <4160> this <5124>?
  • 8 Then <5119> Peter <4074>, filled <4130> with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, said <2036> unto them, Ye rulers <758> of the people <2992>, and elders <4245> of Israel <2474>,
  • 9 If <1487> we this <4594> day <4594> be examined <350> of the good <2108> deed <2108> done to the impotent <772> man <444>, by what <5101> means he is made <4982> whole <4982>;
  • 10 Be it known <1110> unto you all <3956>, and to all <3956> the people <2992> of Israel <2474>, that by the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> of Nazareth <3478>, whom <3739> ye crucified <4717>, whom <3739> God <2316> raised <1453> from the dead <3498>, [even] by him doth this man stand <3936> here <3936> before <1799> you whole <5199>.
  • 11 This is the stone <3037> which <3588> was set <1848> at <1848> nought <1848> of you builders <3618>, which <3588> is become <1519> the head <2776> of the corner <1137>.
  • 12 Neither <3756> is there salvation <4991> in any <3762> other <243>: for there is none <3777> other <2087> name <3686> under <5259> heaven <3772> given <1325> among <1722> men <444>, whereby <3739> we must <1163> be saved <4982>.
  • 13 Now <1161> when they saw <2334> the boldness <3954> of Peter <4074> and John <2491>, and perceived <2638> that they were unlearned <62> and ignorant <2399> men <444>, they marvelled <2296>; and they took <1921> knowledge <1921> of them, that they had been <2258> with Jesus <2424>.
  • 14 And beholding <991> the man <444> which was healed <2323> standing <2476> with them, they could <2192> say <471> nothing <3762> against <471> it.
  • 15. But when they had commanded <2753> them to go <565> aside <565> out of the council <4892>, they conferred <4820> among <4315> themselves <240>,
  • 16 Saying <3004>, What <5101> shall we do <4160> to these <5125> men <444>? for that indeed <3303> a notable <1110> miracle <4592> hath been done <1096> by them [is] manifest <5319> to all <3956> them that dwell <2730> in Jerusalem <2419>; and we cannot <1410> deny <720> [it].
  • 17 But that it spread <1268> no <3361> further <4208> among <1519> the people <2992>, let us straitly <547> threaten <546> them, that they speak <2980> henceforth <3371> to no <3367> man <444> in this <5129> name <3686>.
  • 18 And they called <2564> them, and commanded <3853> them not to speak <5350> at <2527> all <2527> nor <3366> teach <1321> in the name <3686> of Jesus <2424>.
  • 19 But Peter <4074> and John <2491> answered <611> and said <2036> unto them, Whether <1487> it be right <1342> in the sight <1799> of God <2316> to hearken <191> unto you more <3123> than <2228> unto God <2316>, judge <2919> ye.
  • 20 For we cannot <1410> but speak <2980> the things which <3739> we have seen <1492> and heard <191>.
  • 21 So <1161> when they had further threatened <4324> them, they let them go <630>, finding <2147> nothing <3367> how <4459> they might punish <2849> them, because <1223> of the people <2992>: for all <3956> [men] glorified <1392> God <2316> for that which was done <1096>.
  • 22 For the man <444> was above <4117> forty <5062> years <2094> old, on <1909> whom <3739> this <5124> miracle <4592> of healing <2392> was shewed <1096>.
  • 23. And being let go <630>, they went <2064> to their own <2398> company <2398>, and reported <518> all <3745> that the chief <749> priests <749> and elders <4245> had said <2036> unto them.
  • 24 And when they heard <191> that, they lifted <142> up their voice <5456> to God <2316> with one <3661> accord <3661>, and said <2036>, Lord <1203>, thou [art] God <2316>, which <3588> hast made <4160> heaven <3772>, and earth <1093>, and the sea <2281>, and all <3956> that in them is:
  • 25 Who <3588> by the mouth <4750> of thy servant <3816> David <1138> hast said <2036>, Why <2444> did the heathen <1484> rage <5433>, and the people <2992> imagine <3191> vain <2756> things?
  • 26 The kings <935> of the earth <1093> stood <3936> up, and the rulers <758> were gathered <4863> together <846> against <2596> the Lord <2962>, and against <2596> his Christ <5547>.
  • 27 For of a truth <225> against <1909> thy holy <40> child <3816> Jesus <2424>, whom <3739> thou hast anointed <5548>, both <5037> Herod <2264>, and Pontius <4194> Pilate <4091>, with the Gentiles <1484>, and the people <2992> of Israel <2474>, were gathered <4863> together <4863>,
  • 28 For to do <4160> whatsoever <3745> thy hand <5495> and thy counsel <1012> determined <4309> before <4309> to be done <1096>.
  • 29 And now <3568>, Lord <2962>, behold <1896> their threatenings <547>: and grant <1325> unto thy servants <1401>, that with all <3956> boldness <3954> they may speak <2980> thy word <3056>,
  • 30 By stretching <1614> forth <1614> thine <4675> hand <5495> to heal <2392>; and that signs <4591> and wonders <5059> may be done <1096> by the name <3686> of thy holy <40> child <3816> Jesus <2424>.
  • 31 And when they had prayed <1189>, the place <5117> was shaken <4531> where <3739> they were assembled <4863> together <4863>; and they were all <537> filled <4130> with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, and they spake <2980> the word <3056> of God <2316> with boldness <3954>.
  • 32. And the multitude <4128> of them that believed <4100> were of one heart <2588> and of one <3391> soul <5590>: neither <3761> said <3004> any <1520> [of them] that ought <5100> of the things which he possessed <5224> was his own <2398>; but they had <1510> all <537> things common <2839>.
  • 33 And with great <3173> power <1411> gave <591> the apostles <652> witness <3142> of the resurrection <386> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>: and great <3173> grace <5485> was upon them all <3956>.
  • 34 Neither <3761> was there any <5100> among <1722> them that lacked <1729>: for as many <3745> as were possessors <2935> of lands <5564> or <2228> houses <3614> sold <4453> them, and brought <5342> the prices <5092> of the things that were sold <4097>,
  • 35 And laid <5087> [them] down at <3844> the apostles <652>' feet <4228>: and distribution <1239> was made <1239> unto every <1538> man according <2530> as he had <2192> need <5532>.
  • 36 And Joses <2500>, who <3588> by the apostles <652> was surnamed <1941> Barnabas <921>, (which is, being interpreted <3177>, The son <5207> of consolation <3874>,) a Levite <3019>, [and] of the country <1085> of Cyprus <2954>,
  • 37 Having <846> land <68>, sold <4453> [it], and brought <5342> the money <5536>, and laid <5087> [it] at <3844> the apostles <652>' feet <4228>.
  • Acts 5
  • 1. But a certain <5100> man <435> named <3686> Ananias <367>, with Sapphira <4551> his wife <1135>, sold <4453> a possession <2933>,
  • 2 And kept <3557> back <3557> [part] of the price <5092>, his wife <1135> also <2532> being privy <4894> [to it], and brought <5342> a certain <5100> part <3313>, and laid <5087> [it] at <3844> the apostles <652>' feet <4228>.
  • 3 But Peter <4074> said <2036>, Ananias <367>, why <1302> hath Satan <4567> filled <4137> thine <4675> heart <2588> to lie <5574> to the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, and to keep <3557> back <3557> [part] of the price <5092> of the land <5564>?
  • 4 Whiles it remained <3306>, was it not thine <4671> own? and after it was sold <4097>, was it not in thine <4674> own power <1849>? why <5101> hast thou conceived <5087> this <5124> thing <4229> in thine <4675> heart <2588>? thou hast not lied <5574> unto men <444>, but unto God <2316>.
  • 5 And Ananias <367> hearing <191> these <5128> words <3056> fell <4098> down, and gave up the ghost <1634>: and great <3173> fear <5401> came <1096> on <1909> all <3956> them that heard <191> these <5023> things.
  • 6 And the young <3501> men arose <450>, wound <4958> him up, and carried <1627> [him] out, and buried <2290> [him].
  • 7 And it was about <5613> the space <1292> of three <5140> hours <5610> after, when his wife <1135>, not knowing <1492> what <3588> was done <1096>, came <1525> in.
  • 8 And Peter <4074> answered <611> unto her, Tell <2036> me whether <1487> ye sold <591> the land <5564> for so <5118> much <5118>? And she said <2036>, Yea <3483>, for so <5118> much <5118>.
  • 9 Then <1161> Peter <4074> said <2036> unto her, How <5101> is it that ye have agreed <4856> together <4856> to tempt <3985> the Spirit <4151> of the Lord <2962>? behold <2400>, the feet <4228> of them which have buried <2290> thy husband <435> [are] at <1909> the door <2374>, and shall carry <1627> thee out.
  • 10 Then <1161> fell <4098> she down straightway <3916> at <3844> his feet <4228>, and yielded <1634> up the ghost <1634>: and the young <3495> men <3495> came <1525> in, and found <2147> her dead <3498>, and, carrying <1627> [her] forth <1627>, buried <2290> [her] by her husband <435>.
  • 11 And great <3173> fear <5401> came <1096> upon all <3650> the church <1577>, and upon as many as heard <191> these <5023> things.
  • 12. And by the hands <5495> of the apostles <652> were many <4183> signs <4591> and wonders <5059> wrought <1096> among <1722> the people <2992>; (and they were all <537> with one <3661> accord <3661> in Solomon's <4672> porch <4745>.
  • 13 And of the rest <3062> durst <5111> no <3762> man <3762> join <2853> himself to them: but the people <2992> magnified <3170> them.
  • 14 And believers <4100> were the more <3123> added <4369> to the Lord <2962>, multitudes <4128> both <5037> of men <435> and women <1135>.)
  • 15 Insomuch <5620> that they brought <1627> forth <1627> the sick <772> into <2596> the streets <4113>, and laid <5087> [them] on <1909> beds <2825> and couches <2895>, that at <2579> the least <2579> the shadow <4639> of Peter <4074> passing <2064> by might overshadow <1982> some <5100> of them.
  • 16 There came <4905> also <2532> a multitude <4128> [out] of the cities <4172> round <4038> about <4038> unto Jerusalem <2419>, bringing <5342> sick <772> folks, and them which were vexed <3791> with unclean <169> spirits <4151>: and they were healed <2323> every <537> one.
  • 17. Then <1161> the high <749> priest <749> rose <450> up, and all <3956> they that were with him, (which is the sect <139> of the Sadducees <4523>,) and were filled <4137> with indignation <2205>,
  • 18 And laid <1911> their hands <5495> on <1909> the apostles <652>, and put <5087> them in the common <1219> prison <5084>.
  • 19 But the angel <32> of the Lord <2962> by night <3571> opened <455> the prison <5438> doors <2374>, and brought <1806> them forth <1806>, and said <2036>,
  • 20 Go <4198>, stand <2476> and speak <2980> in the temple <2411> to the people <2992> all <3956> the words <4487> of this <5026> life <2222>.
  • 21 And when they heard <191> [that], they entered <1525> into <1519> the temple <2411> early <3722> in the morning, and taught <1321>. But the high <749> priest <749> came <3854>, and they that were with him, and called <4779> the council <4892> together <4779>, and all <3956> the senate <1087> of the children <5207> of Israel <2474>, and sent <649> to the prison <1201> to have them brought <71>.
  • 22 But when the officers <5257> came <3854>, and found <2147> them not in the prison <5438>, they returned <390>, and told <518>,
  • 23 Saying <3004>, The prison <1201> truly <3303> found <2147> we shut <2808> with all <3956> safety <803>, and the keepers <5441> standing <2476> without <1854> before <4253> the doors <2374>: but when we had opened <455>, we found <2147> no <3762> man <3762> within <2080>.
  • 24 Now <1161> when <5613> the high <2409> priest <749> and the captain <4755> of the temple <2411> and the chief <749> priests <749> heard <191> these <5128> things <3056>, they doubted <1280> of them whereunto <5101> this <5124> would grow <1096>.
  • 25 Then <1161> came <3854> one <5100> and told <518> them, saying <3004>, Behold <2400>, the men <435> whom <3739> ye put <5087> in prison <5438> are standing <2476> in the temple <2411>, and teaching <1321> the people <2992>.
  • 26. Then <5119> went <565> the captain <4755> with the officers <5257>, and brought <71> them without <3326> violence <970>: for they feared <5399> the people <2992>, lest <3361> they should have been stoned <3034>.
  • 27 And when they had brought <71> them, they set <2476> [them] before <1722> the council <4892>: and the high <749> priest <749> asked <1905> them,
  • 28 Saying <3004>, Did not we straitly command <3853> you that ye should not teach <1321> in this <5129> name <3686>? and, behold <2400>, ye have filled <4137> Jerusalem <2419> with your <5216> doctrine <1322>, and intend <1014> to bring <1863> this <5127> man's <444> blood <129> upon us.
  • 29 Then <1161> Peter <4074> and the [other] apostles <652> answered <611> and said <2036>, We ought <1163> to obey <3980> God <2316> rather <3123> than <2228> men <444>.
  • 30 The God <2316> of our fathers <3962> raised <1453> up Jesus <2424>, whom <3739> ye slew <1315> and hanged <2910> on <1909> a tree <3586>.
  • 31 Him hath God <2316> exalted <5312> with his right <1188> hand [to be] a Prince <747> and a Saviour <4990>, for to give <1325> repentance <3341> to Israel <2474>, and forgiveness <859> of sins <266>.
  • 32 And we are his witnesses <3144> of these <5130> things <4487>; and [so is] also <2532> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, whom <3739> God <2316> hath given <1325> to them that obey <3980> him.
  • 33 When they heard <191> [that], they were cut <1282> [to the heart], and took <1011> counsel <1011> to slay <337> them.
  • 34 Then <1161> stood <450> there up one <5100> in the council <4892>, a Pharisee <5330>, named <3686> Gamaliel <1059>, a doctor <3547> of the law <3547>, had in reputation <5093> among all <3956> the people <2992>, and commanded <2753> to put <4160> the apostles <652> forth <1854> a little <1024> space <1024>;
  • 35 And said <2036> unto them, Ye men <435> of Israel <2475>, take heed <4337> to yourselves <1438> what <5101> ye intend <3195> to do <4238> as touching <1909> these <5125> men <444>.
  • 36 For before <4253> these <5130> days <2250> rose <450> up Theudas <2333>, boasting <3004> himself <1438> to be somebody <5100>; to whom <3739> a number <706> of men <435>, about <5616> four hundred <5071>, joined <4347> themselves: who <3739> was slain <337>; and all <3956>, as many <3745> as obeyed <3982> him, were scattered <1262>, and brought <1096> to nought <3762>.
  • 37 After <3326> this <5126> man rose <450> up Judas <2455> of Galilee <1056> in the days <2250> of the taxing <583>, and drew <868> away <868> much <2425> people <2992> after <3694> him: he also <2548> perished <622>; and all <3956>, [even] as many <3745> as obeyed <3982> him, were dispersed <1287>.
  • 38 And now <3568> I say <3004> unto you, Refrain <868> from these <5130> men <444>, and let <1439> them alone <1439>: for if <1437> this <5124> counsel <1012> or <2228> this <5124> work <2041> be of men <444>, it will come <2647> to nought <2647>:
  • 39 But if <1487> it be of God <2316>, ye cannot <1410> overthrow <2647> it; lest <3379> haply <3379> ye be found <2147> even <2532> to fight <2314> against God <2314>.
  • 40 And to him they agreed <3982>: and when they had called <4341> the apostles <652>, and beaten <1194> [them], they commanded <3853> that they should not speak <2980> in the name <3686> of Jesus <2424>, and let <630> them go <630>.
  • 41 And they departed <4198> from the presence <4383> of the council <4892>, rejoicing <5463> that they were counted <2661> worthy <2661> to suffer <818> shame for his name <3686>.
  • 42 And daily <2250> in the temple <2411>, and in every <2596> house <3624>, they ceased <3973> not to teach <1321> and preach <2097> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
  • Acts 6
  • 1. And in those <5025> days <2250>, when the number of the disciples <3101> was multiplied <4129>, there arose <1096> a murmuring <1112> of the Grecians <1675> against <4314> the Hebrews <1445>, because <3754> their widows <5503> were neglected <3865> in the daily <2522> ministration <1248>.
  • 2 Then <1161> the twelve <1427> called <4341> the multitude <4128> of the disciples <3101> [unto them], and said <2036>, It is not reason <701> that we should leave <2641> the word <3056> of God <2316>, and serve <1247> tables <5132>.
  • 3 Wherefore <3767>, brethren <80>, look <1980> ye out among <1537> you seven <2033> men <435> of honest report <3140>, full <4134> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> and wisdom <4678>, whom <3739> we may appoint <2525> over <1909> this <5026> business <5532>.
  • 4 But we will give <4342> ourselves continually <4342> to prayer <4335>, and to the ministry <1248> of the word <3056>.
  • 5 And the saying <3056> pleased <700> the whole <3956> multitude <4128>: and they chose <1586> Stephen <4736>, a man <435> full <4134> of faith <4102> and of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, and Philip <5376>, and Prochorus <4402>, and Nicanor <3527>, and Timon <5096>, and Parmenas <3937>, and Nicolas <3532> a proselyte <4339> of Antioch <491>:
  • 6 Whom <3739> they set <2476> before <1799> the apostles <652>: and when they had prayed <4336>, they laid <2007> [their] hands <5495> on <2007> them.
  • 7 And the word <3056> of God <2316> increased <837>; and the number <706> of the disciples <3101> multiplied <4129> in Jerusalem <2419> greatly <4970>; and a great <4183> company <3793> of the priests <2409> were obedient <5219> to the faith <4102>.
  • 8. And Stephen <4736>, full <4134> of faith <4102> and power <1411>, did <4160> great <3173> wonders <5059> and miracles <4592> among <1722> the people <2992>.
  • 9 Then <1161> there arose <450> certain <5100> of the synagogue <4864>, which <3588> is called <3004> [the synagogue <4864>] of the Libertines <3032>, and Cyrenians <2956>, and Alexandrians <221>, and of them of Cilicia <2791> and of Asia <773>, disputing <4802> with Stephen <4736>.
  • 10 And they were not able <2480> to resist <436> the wisdom <4678> and the spirit <4151> by which <3739> he spake <2980>.
  • 11 Then <5119> they suborned <5260> men <435>, which said <3004>, We have heard <191> him speak <2980> blasphemous <989> words <4487> against <1519> Moses <3475>, and [against] God <2316>.
  • 12 And they stirred <4787> up the people <2992>, and the elders <4245>, and the scribes <1122>, and came <2186> upon [him], and caught <4884> him, and brought <71> [him] to the council <4892>,
  • 13 And set <2476> up false <5571> witnesses <3144>, which said <3004>, This <5127> man <444> ceaseth <3973> not to speak <2980> blasphemous <989> words <4487> against <2596> this <3778> holy <40> place <5117>, and the law <3551>:
  • 14 For we have heard <191> him say <3004>, that this <5126> Jesus <2424> of Nazareth <3478> shall destroy <2647> this <3778> place <5117>, and shall change <236> the customs <1485> which <3739> Moses <3475> delivered <3860> us.
  • 15 And all <537> that sat <2516> in the council <4892>, looking <816> stedfastly <816> on <1519> him, saw <1492> his face <4383> as it had been the face <4383> of an angel <32>.
  • Acts 7
  • 1. Then <1161> said <2036> the high <749> priest <749>, Are these <5023> things so <3779>?
  • 2 And he said <5346>, Men <435>, brethren <80>, and fathers <3962>, hearken <191>; The God <2316> of glory <1391> appeared <3700> unto our father <3962> Abraham <11>, when he was in Mesopotamia <3318>, before <2228> he dwelt <2730> in Charran <5488>,
  • 3 And said <2036> unto him, Get <1831> thee out of thy country <1093>, and from thy kindred <4772>, and come <1204> into <1519> the land <1093> which <3739> I shall shew <1166> thee.
  • 4 Then <5119> came <1831> he out of the land <1093> of the Chaldaeans <5466>, and dwelt <2730> in Charran <5488>: and from thence <1564>, when <3326> his father <3962> was dead <599>, he removed <3351> him into <1519> this <5026> land <1093>, wherein <3757> ye now <3568> dwell <2730>.
  • 5 And he gave <1325> him none <3756> inheritance <2817> in it, no, not [so much as] to set <968> his foot <4228> on: yet <2532> he promised <1861> that he would give <1325> it to him for a possession <2697>, and to his seed <4690> after <3326> him, when [as yet] he had <5607> no <3756> child <5043>.
  • 6 And God <2316> spake <2980> on this <3779> wise <3779>, That his seed <4690> should sojourn <3941> in a strange <245> land <1093>; and that they should bring <1402> them into bondage <1402>, and entreat <2559> [them] evil <2559> four hundred <5071> years <2094>.
  • 7 And the nation <1484> to whom <3739> they shall be in bondage <1398> will I judge <2919>, said <2036> God <2316>: and after <3326> that shall they come <1834> forth <1831>, and serve <3000> me in this <5129> place <5117>.
  • 8 And he gave <1325> him the covenant <1242> of circumcision <4061>: and so <3779> [Abraham] begat <1080> Isaac <2464>, and circumcised <4059> him the eighth <3590> day <2250>; and Isaac <2464> [begat] Jacob <2384>; and Jacob <2384> [begat] the twelve <1427> patriarchs <3966>.
  • 9 And the patriarchs <3966>, moved <2206> with envy <2206>, sold <591> Joseph <2501> into <1519> Egypt <125>: but God <2316> was with him,
  • 10 And delivered <1807> him out of all <3956> his afflictions <2347>, and gave <1325> him favour <5485> and wisdom <4678> in the sight <1726> of Pharaoh <5328> king <935> of Egypt <125>; and he made <2525> him governor <2233> over <1909> Egypt <125> and all <3650> his house <3624>.
  • 11 Now <1161> there came <2064> a dearth <3042> over <1909> all <3650> the land <1093> of Egypt <125> and Chanaan <5477>, and great <3173> affliction <2347>: and our fathers <3962> found <2147> no <3756> sustenance <5527>.
  • 12 But when Jacob <2384> heard <191> that there was corn <4621> in Egypt <125>, he sent <1821> out our fathers <3962> first <4412>.
  • 13 And at <1722> the second <1208> [time] Joseph <2501> was made <319> known <319> to his brethren <80>; and Joseph's <2501> kindred <1085> was made <1096> known <5318> unto Pharaoh <5328>.
  • 14 Then <1161> sent <649> Joseph <2501>, and called <3333> his father <3962> Jacob <2384> to [him], and all <3956> his kindred <4772>, threescore <1440> and fifteen <4002> souls <5590>.
  • 15 So <1161> Jacob <2384> went <2597> down <2597> into <1519> Egypt <125>, and died <5053>, he, and our fathers <3962>,
  • 16 And were carried <3346> over <3346> into <1519> Sychem <4966>, and laid <5087> in the sepulchre <3418> that Abraham <11> bought <5608> for a sum <5092> of money <694> of the sons <5207> of Emmor <1697> [the father] of Sychem <4966>.
  • 17. But when <2531> the time <5550> of the promise <1860> drew nigh <1448>, which <3739> God <2316> had sworn <3660> to Abraham <11>, the people <2992> grew <837> and multiplied <4129> in Egypt <125>,
  • 18 Till <3757> another <2087> king <935> arose <450>, which <3739> knew <1492> not Joseph <2501>.
  • 19 The same <3778> dealt <2686> subtilly <2686> with our kindred <1085>, and evil <2559> entreated <2559> our fathers <3962>, so that they cast <1570> out their young <1025> children <1025>, to the end <1519> they might not live <2225>.
  • 20 In which <3739> time <2540> Moses <3475> was born <1080>, and was exceeding <2316> fair <791>, and nourished <396> up in his father's <3962> house <3624> three <5140> months <3376>:
  • 21 And when he was cast <1620> out, Pharaoh's <5328> daughter <2364> took <337> him up, and nourished <397> him for her own <1438> son <5207>.
  • 22 And Moses <3475> was learned <3811> in all <3956> the wisdom <4678> of the Egyptians <124>, and was mighty <1415> in words <3056> and in deeds <2041>.
  • 23 And when <5613> he was full <4137> forty <5063> years <5063> old <5550>, it came <305> into <1909> his heart <2588> to visit <1980> his brethren <80> the children <5207> of Israel <2474>.
  • 24 And seeing <1492> one <5100> [of them] suffer wrong <91>, he defended <292> [him], and avenged <1557> him that was oppressed <2669>, and smote <3960> the Egyptian <124>:
  • 25 For he supposed <3543> his brethren <80> would have understood <4920> how that God <2316> by his hand <5495> would deliver <1325> them: but they understood <4920> not.
  • 26 And the next <1966> day <2250> he shewed <3700> himself unto them as they strove <3164>, and would have set <4900> them at <1519> one <1515> again <1515>, saying <2036>, Sirs <435>, ye are brethren <80>; why <2444> do <91> ye wrong <91> one <240> to another <240>?
  • 27 But he that did <91> his neighbour <4139> wrong <91> thrust <683> him away <683>, saying <2036>, Who <5101> made <2525> thee a ruler <758> and a judge <1348> over <1909> us?
  • 28 Wilt <2309> thou kill <337> me, as thou diddest <337> the Egyptian <124> yesterday <5504>?
  • 29 Then <1161> fled <5343> Moses <3475> at <1722> this <5129> saying <3056>, and was a stranger <3941> in the land <1093> of Madian <3099>, where <3757> he begat <1080> two <1417> sons <5207>.
  • 30. And when forty <5062> years <2094> were expired <4137>, there appeared <3700> to him in the wilderness <2048> of mount <3735> Sina <4614> an angel <32> of the Lord <2962> in a flame <5395> of fire <4442> in a bush <942>.
  • 31 When Moses <3475> saw <1492> [it], he wondered <2296> at the sight <3705>: and as he drew <4334> near <4334> to behold <2657> [it], the voice <5456> of the Lord <2962> came <1096> unto him,
  • 32 [Saying], I [am] the God <2316> of thy fathers <3962>, the God <2316> of Abraham <11>, and the God <2316> of Isaac <2464>, and the God <2316> of Jacob <2384>. Then <1161> Moses <3475> trembled <1096>, and durst <5111> not behold <2657>.
  • 33 Then <1161> said <2036> the Lord <2962> to him, Put <3089> off <3089> thy shoes <5266> from thy feet <4228>: for the place <5117> where <3739> thou standest <2476> is holy <40> ground <1093>.
  • 34 I have seen <1492>, I have seen <1492> the affliction <2561> of my people <2992> which <3588> is in Egypt <125>, and I have heard <191> their groaning <4726>, and am come <2597> down <2597> to deliver <1807> them. And now <3568> come <1204>, I will send <649> thee into <1519> Egypt <125>.
  • 35 This <5126> Moses <3475> whom <3739> they refused <720>, saying <2036>, Who <5101> made <2525> thee a ruler <758> and a judge <1348>? the same <5126> did God <2316> send <649> [to be] a ruler <758> and a deliverer <3086> by the hand <5495> of the angel <32> which <3588> appeared <3700> to him in the bush <942>.
  • 36 He brought <1806> them out, after that he had shewed <4160> wonders <5059> and signs <4591> in the land <1093> of Egypt <125>, and in the Red <2281> sea <2281>, and in the wilderness <2048> forty <5062> years <2094>.
  • 37 This <3778> is that Moses <3475>, which <3588> said <2036> unto the children <5207> of Israel <2474>, A prophet <4396> shall the Lord <2962> your <5216> God <2316> raise <450> up unto you of your <5216> brethren <80>, like <5613> unto me; him shall ye hear <191>.
  • 38 This <3778> is he, that was in the church <1577> in the wilderness <2048> with the angel <32> which <3588> spake <2980> to him in the mount <3735> Sina <4614>, and [with] our fathers <3962>: who <3739> received <1209> the lively <2198> oracles <3051> to give <1325> unto us:
  • 39 To whom <3739> our fathers <3962> would <2309> not obey <1036>, but thrust <683> [him] from them, and in their hearts <2588> turned <4762> back <4762> again <4762> into <1519> Egypt <125>,
  • 40 Saying <2036> unto Aaron <2>, Make <4160> us gods <2316> to go <4313> before <4313> us: for [as for] this <3778> Moses <3475>, which <3739> brought <1806> us out of the land <1093> of Egypt <125>, we wot <1492> not what <5101> is become <1096> of him.
  • 41 And they made <3447> a calf <3447> in those <1565> days <2250>, and offered <321> sacrifice <2378> unto the idol <1497>, and rejoiced <2165> in the works <2041> of their own hands <5495>.
  • 42. Then <1161> God <2316> turned <4762>, and gave <3860> them up to worship <3000> the host <4756> of heaven <3772>; as it is written <1125> in the book <976> of the prophets <4396>, O ye house <3624> of Israel <2474>, have ye offered <4374> to me slain <4968> beasts <4968> and sacrifices <2378> [by the space of] forty <5062> years <2094> in the wilderness <2048>?
  • 43 Yea <2532>, ye took <353> up the tabernacle <4633> of Moloch <3434>, and the star <798> of your <5216> god <2316> Remphan <4481>, figures <5179> which <3739> ye made <4160> to worship <4352> them: and I will carry <3351> you away <3351> beyond <1900> Babylon <897>.
  • 44 Our fathers <3962> had <1510> the tabernacle <4633> of witness <3142> in the wilderness <2048>, as he had appointed <1299>, speaking <2980> unto Moses <3475>, that he should make <4160> it according <2596> to the fashion <5179> that he had seen <3708>.
  • 45 Which <3739> also <2532> our fathers <3962> that came <1237> after <3326> brought <1521> in with Jesus <2424> into <1722> the possession <2697> of the Gentiles <1484>, whom <3739> God <2316> drave <1856> out before <575> the face <4383> of our fathers <3962>, unto the days <2250> of David <1138>;
  • 46 Who <3739> found <2147> favour <5485> before <1799> God <2316>, and desired <154> to find <2147> a tabernacle <4638> for the God <2316> of Jacob <2384>.
  • 47 But Solomon <4672> built <3618> him an house <3624>.
  • 48 Howbeit <235> the most <5310> High <5310> dwelleth <2730> not in temples <3485> made <5499> with hands <5499>; as saith <3004> the prophet <4396>,
  • 49 Heaven <3772> [is] my throne <2362>, and earth <1093> [is] my footstool <5286>: what <4169> house <3624> will ye build <3618> me? saith <3004> the Lord <2962>: or <2228> what <5101> [is] the place <5117> of my rest <2663>?
  • 50 Hath not my hand <5495> made <4160> all <3956> these <5023> things?
  • 51. Ye stiffnecked <4644> and uncircumcised <564> in heart <2588> and ears <3775>, ye do always <104> resist <496> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>: as your <5216> fathers <3962> [did], so <2532> [do] ye.
  • 52 Which <5101> of the prophets <4396> have not your <5216> fathers <3962> persecuted <1377>? and they have slain <615> them which <3588> shewed <4293> before <4293> of the coming <1660> of the Just <1342> One; of whom <3739> ye have been <1096> now <3568> the betrayers <4273> and murderers <5406>:
  • 53 Who <3748> have received <2983> the law <3551> by the disposition <1296> of angels <32>, and have not kept <5442> [it].
  • 54. When they heard <191> these <5023> things, they were cut <1282> to the heart <2588>, and they gnashed <1031> on <1909> him with [their] teeth <3599>.
  • 55 But he, being <5225> full <4134> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, looked <816> up stedfastly <816> into <1519> heaven <3772>, and saw <1492> the glory <1391> of God <2316>, and Jesus <2424> standing <2476> on <1537> the right <1188> hand of God <2316>,
  • 56 And said <2036>, Behold <2400>, I see <2334> the heavens <3772> opened <455>, and the Son <5207> of man <444> standing <2476> on <1537> the right <1188> hand of God <2316>.
  • 57 Then <1161> they cried <2896> out with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, and stopped <4912> their ears <3775>, and ran <3729> upon him with one <3661> accord <3661>,
  • 58 And cast <1544> [him] out of the city <4172>, and stoned <3036> [him]: and the witnesses <3144> laid <659> down their clothes <2440> at <3844> a young <3494> man's <3494> feet <4228>, whose name <2564> was Saul <4569>.
  • 59 And they stoned <3036> Stephen <4736>, calling <1941> upon [God], and saying <3007>, Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, receive <1209> my spirit <4151>.
  • 60 And he kneeled <1119> down, and cried <2896> with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, Lord <2962>, lay <2476> not this <5026> sin <266> to their charge <2476>. And when he had said <2036> this <5124>, he fell asleep <2837>.
  • Acts 8
  • 1. And Saul <4569> was consenting <4909> unto his death <336>. And at <1722> that time <2250> there was a great <3173> persecution <1375> against <1909> the church <1577> which <3588> was at <1722> Jerusalem <2414>; and they were all <3956> scattered <1289> abroad <1289> throughout <2596> the regions <5561> of Judaea <2449> and Samaria <4540>, except <4133> the apostles <652>.
  • 2 And devout <2126> men <435> carried <4792> Stephen <4736> [to his burial], and made <4160> great <3173> lamentation <2870> over <1909> him.
  • 3 As for Saul <4569>, he made havock <3075> of the church <1577>, entering <1531> into <1531> every <2596> house <3624>, and haling <4951> men <435> and women <1135> committed <3860> [them] to prison <5438>.
  • 4. Therefore <3767> they that were scattered <1289> abroad <1289> went <1330> every <1330> where <1330> preaching <2097> the word <3056>.
  • 5 Then <1161> Philip <5376> went <2718> down <2718> to the city <4172> of Samaria <4540>, and preached <2784> Christ <5547> unto them.
  • 6 And the people <3793> with one <3661> accord <3661> gave <4337> heed <4337> unto those <3588> things which Philip <5376> spake <3004>, hearing <191> and seeing <991> the miracles <4592> which he did <4160>.
  • 7 For unclean <169> spirits <4151>, crying <994> with loud <3173> voice <5456>, came <1831> out of many <4183> that were possessed <2192> [with them]: and many <4183> taken with palsies <3886>, and that were lame <5560>, were healed <2323>.
  • 8 And there was great <3173> joy <5479> in that city <4172>.
  • 9 But there was a certain <5100> man <435>, called <3686> Simon <4613>, which beforetime <4391> in the same city <4172> used <3096> sorcery <3096>, and bewitched <1839> the people <1484> of Samaria <4540>, giving <3004> out that himself <1448> was some <5100> great <3173> one:
  • 10 To whom <3739> they all <3956> gave <4337> heed <4337>, from the least <3398> to the greatest <3173>, saying <3007>, This <3778> man is the great <3173> power <1411> of God <2316>.
  • 11 And to him they had regard <4337>, because <1223> that of long <2425> time <5550> he had bewitched <1839> them with sorceries <3095>.
  • 12 But when <3753> they believed <4100> Philip <5376> preaching <2097> the things concerning <4012> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, and the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, they were baptized <907>, both <5037> men <435> and women <1135>.
  • 13 Then <1161> Simon <4613> himself <846> believed <4100> also <2532>: and when he was baptized <907>, he continued <4342> with Philip <5376>, and wondered <1839>, beholding <2334> the miracles <1411> and signs <4591> which were done <1096>.
  • 14. Now <1161> when the apostles <652> which <3588> were at <1722> Jerusalem <2414> heard <191> that Samaria <4540> had received <1209> the word <3056> of God <2316>, they sent <649> unto them Peter <4074> and John <2491>:
  • 15 Who <3748>, when they were come <2597> down <2597>, prayed <4336> for them, that they might receive <2983> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>:
  • 16 (For as yet <3768> he was fallen <1968> upon none <3762> of them: only <3440> they were baptized <907> in the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.)
  • 17 Then <5119> laid <2007> they [their] hands <5495> on <1909> them, and they received <2983> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.
  • 18 And when Simon <4613> saw <2300> that through <1223> laying <1936> on <1936> of the apostles <652>' hands <5495> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> was given <1325>, he offered <4374> them money <5536>,
  • 19 Saying <3007>, Give <1325> me also <2504> this <5026> power <1849>, that on <2007> whomsoever <302> I lay <2007> hands <5495>, he may receive <2983> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.
  • 20 But Peter <4074> said <2036> unto him, Thy money <694> perish <684> with thee, because <3754> thou hast thought <3543> that the gift <1431> of God <2316> may be purchased <2932> with money <5536>.
  • 21 Thou hast <2076> neither <3756> part <3310> nor <3761> lot <2819> in this <5129> matter <3056>: for thy heart <2588> is not right <2117> in the sight <1799> of God <2316>.
  • 22 Repent <3340> therefore <3767> of this <5026> thy wickedness <2549>, and pray <1189> God <2316>, if <1487> perhaps <686> the thought <1963> of thine <4671> heart <2588> may be forgiven <863> thee.
  • 23 For I perceive <3708> that thou art in the gall <5521> of bitterness <4088>, and [in] the bond <4886> of iniquity <93>.
  • 24 Then <1161> answered <611> Simon <4613>, and said <2036>, Pray <1189> ye to the Lord <2962> for me, that none <3367> of these things which <3739> ye have spoken <2046> come <1904> upon me.
  • 25 And they, when they had testified <1263> and preached <2980> the word <3056> of the Lord <2962>, returned <5290> to Jerusalem <2419>, and preached <2097> the gospel <2097> in many <4183> villages <2968> of the Samaritans <4541>.
  • 26. And the angel <32> of the Lord <2962> spake <2980> unto Philip <5376>, saying <3007>, Arise <450>, and go <4198> toward <2596> the south <3314> unto the way <3598> that goeth <2597> down <2597> from Jerusalem <2419> unto Gaza <1048>, which <3778> is desert <2048>.
  • 27 And he arose <450> and went <4198>: and, behold <2400>, a man <435> of Ethiopia <128>, an eunuch <2135> of great authority <1413> under Candace <2582> queen <938> of the Ethiopians <128>, who <3739> had the charge <1909> of all <3956> her treasure <1047>, and had come <2064> to Jerusalem <2419> for to worship <4352>,
  • 28 Was returning <5290>, and sitting <2521> in his chariot <716> read <314> Esaias <2268> the prophet <4396>.
  • 29 Then <1161> the Spirit <4151> said <2036> unto Philip <5376>, Go <4334> near <4334>, and join <2853> thyself to this <5129> chariot <716>.
  • 30 And Philip <5376> ran <4370> thither <4370> to [him], and heard <191> him read <314> the prophet <4396> Esaias <2268>, and said <2036>, Understandest <1097> thou what <3739> thou readest <314>?
  • 31 And he said <2036>, How <4459> can <1410> I, except <3362> some <5100> man should guide <3594> me? And he desired <3870> Philip <5376> that he would come <305> up and sit <2523> with him.
  • 32 The place <4042> of the scripture <1124> which he read <314> was this <3778>, He was led <71> as a sheep <4263> to the slaughter <4967>; and like <5613> a lamb <286> dumb <880> before <1726> his shearer <2751>, so <3779> opened <455> he not his mouth <4750>:
  • 33 In his humiliation <5014> his judgment <2920> was taken <142> away: and who <5101> shall declare <1334> his generation <1074>? for his life <2222> is taken <142> from the earth <1093>.
  • 34 And the eunuch <2135> answered <611> Philip <5376>, and said <2036>, I pray <1189> thee, of whom <5101> speaketh <3004> the prophet <4396> this <5124>? of himself <1438>, or <2228> of some <5100> other <2087> man?
  • 35 Then <1161> Philip <5376> opened <455> his mouth <4750>, and began <756> at <575> the same <5026> scripture <1124>, and preached <2097> unto him Jesus <2424>.
  • 36 And as they went <4198> on <2596> [their] way <3598>, they came <2064> unto a certain <5100> water <5204>: and the eunuch <2135> said <5346>, See <2400>, [here is] water <5204>; what <5101> doth hinder <2967> me to be baptized <907>?
  • 37 And Philip <5376> said <2036>, If <1487> thou believest <4100> with all <3650> thine <3588> heart <2588>, thou mayest <1832>. And he answered <611> and said <2036>, I believe <4100> that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> is the Son <5207> of God <2316>.
  • 38 And he commanded <2753> the chariot <716> to stand <2476> still <2476>: and they went <2597> down <2597> both <297> into <1519> the water <5204>, both <5037> Philip <5376> and the eunuch <2135>; and he baptized <907> him.
  • 39 And when <3753> they were come <305> up out of the water <5204>, the Spirit <4151> of the Lord <2962> caught <726> away <726> Philip <5376>, that the eunuch <2135> saw <1492> him no <3765> more <3765>: and he went <4198> on his way <3598> rejoicing <5463>.
  • 40 But Philip <5376> was found <2147> at <1519> Azotus <108>: and passing <1330> through <1223> he preached <2097> in all <3956> the cities <4172>, till <2193> he came <2064> to Caesarea <2542>.
  • Acts 9
  • 1. And Saul <4569>, yet <2089> breathing <1709> out threatenings <547> and slaughter <5408> against <1519> the disciples <3101> of the Lord <2962>, went <4334> unto the high <749> priest <749>,
  • 2 And desired <154> of him letters <1992> to Damascus <1154> to the synagogues <4864>, that if <1437> he found <2147> any <5100> of this <3588> way <3598>, whether <5037> they were men <435> or <2532> women <1135>, he might bring <71> them bound <1210> unto Jerusalem <2419>.
  • 3 And as he journeyed <4198>, he came <1096> near <1448> Damascus <1154>: and suddenly <1810> there shined <4015> round <4015> about <4015> him a light <5457> from heaven <3772>:
  • 4 And he fell <4098> to the earth <1093>, and heard <191> a voice <5456> saying <3007> unto him, Saul <4569>, Saul <4569>, why <5101> persecutest <1377> thou me?
  • 5 And he said <2036>, Who <5101> art <1488> thou, Lord <2962>? And the Lord <2962> said <2036>, I am <1510> Jesus <2424> whom <3739> thou persecutest <1377>: [it is] hard <4642> for thee to kick <2979> against <4314> the pricks <2759>.
  • 6 And he trembling <5141> and astonished <2284> said <2036>, Lord <2962>, what <5101> wilt <2309> thou have me to do <4160>? And the Lord <2962> [said <2036>] unto him, Arise <450>, and go <1525> into <1519> the city <4172>, and it shall be told <2980> thee what <5101> thou must <1163> do <4160>.
  • 7 And the men <435> which <3588> journeyed <4922> with him stood <2476> speechless <1769>, hearing <191> a voice <5456>, but seeing <2334> no <3367> man <3367>.
  • 8 And Saul <4569> arose <1453> from the earth <1093>; and when his eyes <3788> were opened <455>, he saw <991> no <3762> man <3762>: but they led <5496> him by the hand <5496>, and brought <1521> [him] into <1519> Damascus <1154>.
  • 9 And he was three <5140> days <2250> without <3361> sight <991>, and neither <3756> did eat <5315> nor <3761> drink <4095>.
  • 10. And there was a certain <5100> disciple <3101> at <1722> Damascus <1154>, named <3686> Ananias <367>; and to him said <2036> the Lord <2962> in a vision <3705>, Ananias <367>. And he said <2036>, Behold <2400>, I [am here], Lord <2962>.
  • 11 And the Lord <2962> [said] unto him, Arise <450>, and go <4198> into <1909> the street <4505> which <3588> is called <2564> Straight <2117>, and enquire <2212> in the house <3614> of Judas <2455> for [one] called <3686> Saul <4569>, of Tarsus <5018>: for, behold <2400>, he prayeth <4336>,
  • 12 And hath seen <1492> in a vision <3705> a man <435> named <3686> Ananias <367> coming <1525> in, and putting <2007> [his] hand <5495> on <2007> him, that he might receive <308> his sight <308>.
  • 13 Then <1161> Ananias <367> answered <611>, Lord <2962>, I have heard <191> by many <4183> of this <5127> man <435>, how <3745> much <3745> evil <2556> he hath done <4160> to thy saints <40> at <1722> Jerusalem <2419>:
  • 14 And here <5602> he hath <2192> authority <1849> from the chief <749> priests <749> to bind <1210> all <3956> that call <1941> on thy name <3686>.
  • 15 But the Lord <2962> said <2036> unto him, Go <4198> thy way: for he is a chosen <1589> vessel <4632> unto me, to bear <941> my name <3686> before <1799> the Gentiles <1484>, and kings <935>, and the children <5207> of Israel <2474>:
  • 16 For I will shew <5263> him how <3745> great <3745> things he must <1163> suffer <3958> for my name's <3686> sake.
  • 17 And Ananias <367> went <565> his way, and entered <1525> into <1519> the house <3614>; and putting <2007> his hands <5495> on <1909> him said <2036>, Brother <80> Saul <4569>, the Lord <2962>, [even] Jesus <2424>, that appeared <3700> unto thee in the way <3598> as thou camest <2064>, hath sent <649> me, that thou mightest receive <308> thy sight <308>, and be filled <4130> with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.
  • 18 And immediately <2112> there fell <634> from his eyes <3788> as it had been scales <3013>: and he received <308> sight <308> forthwith <3916>, and arose <450>, and was baptized <907>.
  • 19 And when he had received <2983> meat <5160>, he was strengthened <1765>. Then <1161> was Saul <4569> certain <5100> days <2250> with the disciples <3101> which were at <1722> Damascus <1154>.
  • 20 And straightway <2112> he preached <2784> Christ <5547> in the synagogues <4864>, that he is the Son <5207> of God <2316>.
  • 21 But all <3956> that heard <191> [him] were amazed <1839>, and said <3004>; Is not this <3778> he that destroyed <4199> them which <3588> called <1941> on <1941> this <5124> name <3686> in Jerusalem <2419>, and came <2064> hither <5602> for that intent, that he might bring <71> them bound <1210> unto the chief <749> priests <749>?
  • 22 But Saul <4569> increased <1743> the more <3123> in strength <1743>, and confounded <4797> the Jews <2453> which <3588> dwelt <2730> at <1722> Damascus <1154>, proving <4822> that this <3778> is very <846> Christ <5547>.
  • 23. And after <5613> that many <2425> days <2250> were fulfilled <4137>, the Jews <2453> took <4823> counsel <4823> to kill <337> him:
  • 24 But their laying <1917> await <1917> was known <1097> of Saul <4569>. And they watched <3906> the gates <4439> day <2250> and night <3571> to kill <337> him.
  • 25 Then <1161> the disciples <3101> took <2983> him by night <3571>, and let <2524> [him] down <2524> by the wall <5038> in a basket <4711>.
  • 26 And when Saul <4569> was come <3854> to Jerusalem <2419>, he assayed <3987> to join <2853> himself to the disciples <3101>: but they were all <3956> afraid <5399> of him, and believed <4100> not that he was a disciple <3101>.
  • 27 But Barnabas <921> took <1949> him, and brought <71> [him] to the apostles <652>, and declared <1334> unto them how <4459> he had seen <1492> the Lord <2962> in the way <3598>, and that he had spoken <2980> to him, and how <4459> he had preached <3954> boldly <3955> at <1722> Damascus <1154> in the name <3686> of Jesus <2424>.
  • 28 And he was with them coming <1531> in and going <1607> out at <1722> Jerusalem <2419>.
  • 29 And he spake <2980> boldly <3955> in the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and disputed <4802> against <4314> the Grecians <1675>: but they went <2021> about <2021> to slay <337> him.
  • 30 [Which] when the brethren <80> knew <1921>, they brought <2609> him down <2609> to Caesarea <2542>, and sent <1821> him forth <1821> to Tarsus <5019>.
  • 31 Then <3767> had <2192> the churches <1577> rest <1515> throughout <2596> all <3650> Judaea <2449> and Galilee <1056> and Samaria <4540>, and were edified <3618>; and walking <4198> in the fear <5401> of the Lord <2962>, and in the comfort <3874> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, were multiplied <4129>.
  • 32. And it came <1096> to pass <1330>, as Peter <4074> passed <1330> throughout <1223> all <3956> [quarters], he came <2718> down <2718> also <2532> to the saints <40> which <3588> dwelt <2730> at Lydda <3069>.
  • 33 And there <1563> he found <2147> a certain <5100> man <444> named <3686> Aeneas <132>, which had kept <2621> his bed <2895> eight <3638> years <2094>, and was sick <3885> of the palsy <3886>.
  • 34 And Peter <4074> said <2036> unto him, Aeneas <132>, Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> maketh <2390> thee whole <2390>: arise <450>, and make <4766> thy bed <4766>. And he arose <450> immediately <2112>.
  • 35 And all <3956> that dwelt <2730> at Lydda <3069> and Saron <4565> saw <1492> him, and turned <1994> to the Lord <2962>.
  • 36. Now <1161> there was at <1722> Joppa <2445> a certain <5100> disciple <3102> named <3686> Tabitha <5000>, which <3739> by interpretation <1329> is called <3004> Dorcas <1393>: this <3778> woman was full <4134> of good <18> works <2041> and almsdeeds <1654> which <3739> she did <4160>.
  • 37 And it came <1096> to pass in those <1565> days <2250>, that she was sick <770>, and died <599>: whom when they had washed <3068>, they laid <5087> [her] in an upper <5253> chamber <5253>.
  • 38 And forasmuch <5607> as Lydda <3069> was nigh <1451> to Joppa <2445>, and the disciples <3101> had heard <191> that Peter <4074> was there <846>, they sent <649> unto him two <1417> men <435>, desiring <3870> [him] that he would not delay <3635> to come <1330> to them.
  • 39 Then <1161> Peter <4074> arose <450> and went <4905> with them. When he was come <3854>, they brought <321> him into <1519> the upper <5253> chamber <5253>: and all <3956> the widows <5503> stood <3936> by him weeping <2799>, and shewing <1925> the coats <5509> and garments <2440> which <3745> Dorcas <1393> made <4160>, while she was with them.
  • 40 But Peter <4074> put <1544> them all <3956> forth <1854>, and kneeled <1119> down, and prayed <4336>; and turning <1994> [him] to the body <4983> said <2036>, Tabitha <5000>, arise <450>. And she opened <455> her eyes <3788>: and when she saw <1492> Peter <4074>, she sat <339> up.
  • 41 And he gave <1325> her [his] hand <5495>, and lifted <450> her up, and when he had called <5455> the saints <40> and widows <5503>, presented <3936> her alive <2198>.
  • 42 And it was known <1110> throughout <2596> all <3650> Joppa <2445>; and many <4183> believed <4100> in the Lord <2962>.
  • 43 And it came <1096> to pass, that he tarried <3306> many <2425> days <2250> in Joppa <2445> with one <5100> Simon <4613> a tanner <1038>.
  • Acts 10
  • 1. There was a certain <5100> man <435> in Caesarea <2542> called <3686> Cornelius <2883>, a centurion <1543> of the band <4686> called <2564> the Italian <2483> [band <4686>],
  • 2 [A] devout <2152> [man], and one that feared <5399> God <2316> with all <3956> his house <3624>, which gave <4160> much <4183> alms <1654> to the people <2992>, and prayed <1189> to God <2316> alway <1275>.
  • 3 He saw <1492> in a vision <3705> evidently <5320> about <5616> the ninth <1766> hour <5610> of the day <2250> an angel <32> of God <2316> coming <1525> in to him, and saying <2036> unto him, Cornelius <2883>.
  • 4 And when he looked <816> on him, he was afraid <1719>, and said <2036>, What <5101> is it, Lord <2962>? And he said <2036> unto him, Thy prayers <4335> and thine <3588> alms <1654> are come <305> up for a memorial <3422> before <1799> God <2316>.
  • 5 And now <3568> send <3992> men <435> to Joppa <2445>, and call <3343> for [one] Simon <4613>, whose <3739> surname <1941> is Peter <4074>:
  • 6 He lodgeth <3579> with one <5100> Simon <4613> a tanner <1038>, whose <3739> house <3614> is by the sea <2281> side <3844>: he shall tell <2980> thee what <5101> thou oughtest <1163> to do <4160>.
  • 7 And when <5613> the angel <32> which <3588> spake <2980> unto Cornelius <2883> was departed <565>, he called <5455> two <1417> of his household <3610> servants, and a devout <2152> soldier <4757> of them that waited <4342> on <4342> him continually <4342>;
  • 8 And when he had declared <1834> all <537> [these] things unto them, he sent <649> them to Joppa <2445>.
  • 9. On the morrow <1887>, as they went <3596> on their journey <3596>, and drew nigh <1448> unto the city <4172>, Peter <4074> went <305> up upon the housetop <1430> to pray <4336> about <4012> the sixth <1623> hour <5610>:
  • 10 And he became <1096> very <4361> hungry <4361>, and would <2309> have eaten <1089>: but while they made <3903> ready <3903>, he fell <1968> into <1909> a trance <1611>,
  • 11 And saw <2334> heaven <3772> opened <455>, and a certain <5100> vessel <4632> descending <2597> unto him, as it had been a great <3173> sheet <3607> knit <1210> at the four <5064> corners <746>, and let <2524> down <2524> to the earth <1093>:
  • 12 Wherein <3757> were all <3956> manner <1485> of fourfooted <5074> beasts <5074> of the earth <1093>, and wild <2342> beasts <2342>, and creeping <2062> things, and fowls <4071> of the air <3772>.
  • 13 And there came <1096> a voice <5456> to him, Rise <450>, Peter <4074>; kill <2380>, and eat <5315>.
  • 14 But Peter <4074> said <2036>, Not so <3365>, Lord <2962>; for I have never <3763> eaten <5315> any <3956> thing that is common <2839> or <2228> unclean <169>.
  • 15 And the voice <5456> [spake] unto him again <3825> the second <1208> time, What <3739> God <2316> hath cleansed <2511>, [that] call <2840> not thou common <2840>.
  • 16 This <5124> was done <1096> thrice <5151>: and the vessel <4632> was received <353> up again <3825> into <1519> heaven <3772>.
  • 17 Now <1161> while <5613> Peter <4074> doubted <1280> in himself <1438> what <5101> this <3588> vision <3705> which <3739> he had seen <1492> should mean <1498>, behold <2400>, the men <435> which <3588> were sent <649> from Cornelius <2883> had made <1239> enquiry <1331> for Simon's <4613> house <3614>, and stood <2186> before <1909> the gate <4440>,
  • 18 And called <5455>, and asked <4441> whether <1487> Simon <4613>, which <3588> was surnamed <1941> Peter <4074>, were lodged <3579> there <1759>.
  • 19. While Peter <4074> thought <1760> on <4012> the vision <3705>, the Spirit <4151> said <2036> unto him, Behold <2400>, three <5140> men <435> seek <2212> thee.
  • 20 Arise <450> therefore <235>, and get <2597> thee down <2597>, and go <4198> with them, doubting <1252> nothing <3367>: for I have sent <649> them.
  • 21 Then <1161> Peter <4074> went <2597> down <2597> to the men <435> which <3588> were sent <649> unto him from Cornelius <2883>; and said <2036>, Behold <2400>, I am <1510> he whom <3739> ye seek <2212>: what <5101> [is] the cause <156> wherefore <3739> ye are come <3918>?
  • 22 And they said <2036>, Cornelius <2883> the centurion <1543>, a just <1342> man <435>, and one that feareth <5399> God <2316>, and of good <18> report <3140> among <5259> all <3650> the nation <1484> of the Jews <2453>, was warned <5537> from God by an holy <40> angel <32> to send <3343> for thee into <1519> his house <3624>, and to hear <191> words <4487> of thee.
  • 23 Then <3767> called <1528> he them in, and lodged <3579> [them]. And on the morrow <1887> Peter <4074> went <1831> away <1831> with them, and certain <5100> brethren <80> from Joppa <2445> accompanied <4905> him.
  • 24 And the morrow <1887> after <3326> they entered <1525> into <1519> Caesarea <2542>. And Cornelius <2883> waited <4328> for them, and had called <4779> together <4779> his kinsmen <4773> and near <316> friends <5384>.
  • 25 And as Peter <4074> was coming <1525> in, Cornelius <2883> met <4876> him, and fell <4098> down at <1909> his feet <4228>, and worshipped <4352> [him].
  • 26 But Peter <4074> took <1453> him up, saying <3004>, Stand <450> up; I myself also <2504> am <1510> a man <444>.
  • 27 And as he talked <4926> with him, he went <1525> in, and found <2147> many <4183> that were come <4905> together <4905>.
  • 28 And he said <5346> unto them, Ye know <1987> how <5613> that it is an unlawful <111> thing for a man <435> that is a Jew <2453> to keep <2853> company <2853>, or <2228> come <4334> unto one of another <246> nation <246>; but God <2316> hath shewed <1166> me that I should not call <3004> any <3367> man <444> common <2839> or <2228> unclean <169>.
  • 29 Therefore <1352> came <2064> I [unto you] without <369> gainsaying <369>, as soon as I was sent <3343> for: I ask <4441> therefore <3767> for what <5101> intent <3056> ye have sent <3343> for me?
  • 30 And Cornelius <2883> said <5346>, Four <5067> days <2250> ago <575> I was fasting <3522> until <3360> this <5026> hour <5610>; and at the ninth <1766> hour <5610> I prayed <4336> in my house <3624>, and, behold <2400>, a man <435> stood <2476> before <1799> me in bright <2986> clothing <2066>,
  • 31 And said <5346>, Cornelius <2883>, thy prayer <4335> is heard <1522>, and thine <4675> alms <1654> are had in remembrance <3415> in the sight <1799> of God <2316>.
  • 32 Send <3992> therefore <3767> to Joppa <2445>, and call <3333> hither <3333> Simon <4613>, whose <3739> surname <1941> is Peter <4074>; he is lodged <3579> in the house <3614> of [one] Simon <4613> a tanner <1038> by the sea <2281> side <3844>: who <3739>, when he cometh <3854>, shall speak <2980> unto thee.
  • 33 Immediately <1824> therefore <3767> I sent <3992> to thee; and thou hast well <2573> done <4160> that thou art come <3854>. Now <3568> therefore <3767> are we all <3956> here <3918> present <3918> before <1799> God <2316>, to hear <191> all <3956> things that are commanded <4367> thee of God <2316>.
  • 34. Then <1161> Peter <4074> opened <455> [his] mouth <4750>, and said <2036>, Of a truth <225> I perceive <2638> that God <2316> is no <3756> respecter <4381> of persons <4381>:
  • 35 But in every <3956> nation <1484> he that feareth <5399> him, and worketh <2038> righteousness <1343>, is accepted <1184> with him.
  • 36 The word <3056> which <3739> [God] sent <649> unto the children <5207> of Israel <2474>, preaching <2097> peace <1515> by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>: (he is Lord <2962> of all <3956>:)
  • 37 That word <4487>, [I say], ye know <1492>, which was published <1096> throughout <2596> all <3650> Judaea <2449>, and began <756> from Galilee <1056>, after <3326> the baptism <908> which <3739> John <2491> preached <2784>;
  • 38 How <5613> God <2316> anointed <5548> Jesus <2424> of Nazareth <3478> with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> and with power <1411>: who <3739> went <1330> about <1330> doing <2109> good <2109>, and healing <2390> all <3956> that were oppressed <2616> of the devil <1228>; for God <2316> was with him.
  • 39 And we are witnesses <3144> of all <3956> things which <3739> he did <4160> both <5037> in the land <5561> of the Jews <2453>, and in Jerusalem <2419>; whom <3739> they slew <337> and hanged <2910> on <1909> a tree <3586>:
  • 40 Him God <2316> raised <1453> up the third <5154> day <2250>, and shewed <1096> him openly <1717>;
  • 41 Not to all <3956> the people <2992>, but unto witnesses <3144> chosen <4401> before <4401> of God <2316>, [even] to us, who <3748> did eat <4906> and drink <4844> with him after <3326> he rose <450> from the dead <3498>.
  • 42 And he commanded <3853> us to preach <2784> unto the people <2992>, and to testify <1263> that it is he which <3588> was ordained <3724> of God <2316> [to be] the Judge <2923> of quick <2198> and dead <3498>.
  • 43 To him give all <3956> the prophets <4396> witness <3140>, that through <1223> his name <3686> whosoever <3588> believeth <4100> in him shall receive <2983> remission <859> of sins <266>.
  • 44. While Peter <4074> yet <2089> spake <2980> these <5023> words <4487>, the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> fell <1968> on <1909> all <3956> them which heard <191> the word <3056>.
  • 45 And they of the circumcision <4061> which believed <4103> were astonished <1839>, as many <3745> as came <4905> with Peter <4074>, because <3754> that on <1909> the Gentiles <1484> also <2532> was poured <1632> out the gift <1431> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.
  • 46 For they heard <191> them speak <2980> with tongues <1100>, and magnify <3170> God <2316>. Then <5119> answered <611> Peter <4074>,
  • 47 Can <1410> any <5100> man <5100> forbid <2967> water <5204>, that these <5128> should not be baptized <907>, which <3748> have received <2983> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> as well <2532> as we?
  • 48 And he commanded <4367> them to be baptized <907> in the name <3686> of the Lord <2962>. Then <5119> prayed <2065> they him to tarry <1961> certain <5100> days <2250>.
  • Acts 11
  • 1. And the apostles <652> and brethren <80> that were in Judaea <2449> heard <191> that the Gentiles <1484> had also <2532> received <1209> the word <3056> of God <2316>.
  • 2 And when <3753> Peter <4074> was come <305> up to Jerusalem <2414>, they that were of the circumcision <4061> contended <1252> with him,
  • 3 Saying <3004>, Thou wentest <1525> in to men <435> uncircumcised <2192>, and didst eat <4906> with them.
  • 4 But Peter <4074> rehearsed <756> [the matter] from the beginning <756>, and expounded <1620> [it] by order <2517> unto them, saying <3004>,
  • 5 I was in the city <4172> of Joppa <2445> praying <4336>: and in a trance <1611> I saw <1492> a vision <3705>, A certain <5100> vessel <4632> descend <2597>, as it had been a great <3173> sheet <3607>, let <2524> down <2524> from heaven <3772> by four <5064> corners <746>; and it came <2064> even <891> to me:
  • 6 Upon the which <3739> when I had fastened <816> mine eyes, I considered <2657>, and saw <1492> fourfooted <5074> beasts <5074> of the earth <1093>, and wild <2342> beasts <2342>, and creeping <2062> things, and fowls <4071> of the air <3772>.
  • 7 And I heard <191> a voice <5456> saying <3004> unto me, Arise <450>, Peter <4074>; slay <2380> and eat <5315>.
  • 8 But I said <2036>, Not so <3365>, Lord <2962>: for nothing <3763> common <2839> or <2228> unclean <169> hath at <3763> any <3763> time entered <1525> into <1519> my mouth <4750>.
  • 9 But the voice <5456> answered <611> me again <1208> from heaven <3772>, What <3739> God <2316> hath cleansed <2511>, [that] call <2840> not thou common <2839>.
  • 10 And this <5124> was done <1096> three <5151> times <5151>: and all <537> were drawn <385> up again <3825> into <1519> heaven <3772>.
  • 11 And, behold <2400>, immediately <1824> there were three <5140> men <435> already come <2186> unto the house <3614> where <3739> I was, sent <649> from Caesarea <2542> unto me.
  • 12 And the Spirit <4151> bade <2036> me go <4905> with them, nothing <3367> doubting <1252>. Moreover <1161> these <3778> six <1803> brethren <80> accompanied <4862> me, and we entered <1525> into <1519> the man's <435> house <3624>:
  • 13 And he shewed <518> us how <4459> he had seen <1492> an angel <32> in his house <3624>, which stood <2476> and said <2036> unto him, Send <649> men <435> to Joppa <2445>, and call <3343> for Simon <4613>, whose <3588> surname <1941> is Peter <4074>;
  • 14 Who <3739> shall tell <2980> thee words <4487>, whereby <3739> thou and all <3956> thy house <3624> shall be saved <4982>.
  • 15 And as I began <756> to speak <2980>, the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> fell <1968> on <1909> them, as on <1909> us at <1722> the beginning <746>.
  • 16 Then <1161> remembered <3415> I the word <4487> of the Lord <2962>, how <5613> that he said <3004>, John <2491> indeed <3303> baptized <907> with water <5204>; but ye shall be baptized <907> with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.
  • 17 Forasmuch <1487> then <3767> as God <2316> gave <1325> them the like <2470> gift <1431> as [he did] unto us, who believed <4100> on <1909> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; what <5101> was I, that I could <1415> withstand <2967> God <2316>?
  • 18 When they heard <191> these <5023> things, they held <2270> their peace <2270>, and glorified <1392> God <2316>, saying <3004>, Then <686> hath God <2316> also <2532> to the Gentiles <1484> granted <1325> repentance <3341> unto life <2222>.
  • 19. Now <3767> they which were scattered <1289> abroad <1289> upon the persecution <2347> that arose <1096> about <1909> Stephen <4736> travelled <1330> as far <2193> as Phenice <5403>, and Cyprus <2954>, and Antioch <490>, preaching <2980> the word <3056> to none <3367> but unto the Jews <2453> only <3440>.
  • 20 And some <5100> of them were men <435> of Cyprus <2954> and Cyrene <2957>, which <3748>, when they were come <1525> to Antioch <490>, spake <2980> unto the Grecians <1675>, preaching <2097> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.
  • 21 And the hand <5495> of the Lord <2962> was with them: and a great <4183> number <706> believed <4100>, and turned <1994> unto the Lord <2962>.
  • 22 Then <1161> tidings <3056> of these <846> things came <191> unto the ears <3775> of the church <1577> which <3588> was in Jerusalem <2414>: and they sent <1821> forth <1821> Barnabas <921>, that he should go <1330> as far <2193> as Antioch <490>.
  • 23 Who <3739>, when he came <3854>, and had seen <1492> the grace <5485> of God <2316>, was glad <5463>, and exhorted <3870> them all <3956>, that with purpose <4286> of heart <2588> they would cleave <4347> unto the Lord <2962>.
  • 24 For he was a good <18> man <435>, and full <4134> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> and of faith <4102>: and much <2425> people <3793> was added <4369> unto the Lord <2962>.
  • 25 Then <1161> departed <1831> Barnabas <921> to Tarsus <5019>, for to seek <327> Saul <4569>:
  • 26 And when he had found <2147> him, he brought <71> him unto Antioch <490>. And it came <1096> to pass, that a whole <3650> year <1763> they assembled <4863> themselves with the church <1577>, and taught <1321> much <2425> people <3793>. And the disciples <3101> were called <5537> Christians <5546> first <4412> in Antioch <490>.
  • 27. And in these <5125> days <2250> came <2718> prophets <4396> from Jerusalem <2414> unto Antioch <490>.
  • 28 And there stood <450> up one <1520> of them named <3686> Agabus <13>, and signified <4591> by the Spirit <4151> that there should <3195> be great <3173> dearth <3042> throughout <1909> all <3650> the world <3625>: which <3748> came <1096> to pass in the days <1909> of Claudius <2804> Caesar <2541>.
  • 29 Then <1161> the disciples <3101>, every <1538> man <1538> according <2531> to his ability <2141>, determined <3724> to send <3992> relief <1248> unto the brethren <80> which dwelt <2730> in Judaea <2449>:
  • 30 Which <3739> also <2532> they did <4160>, and sent <649> it to the elders <4245> by the hands <5495> of Barnabas <921> and Saul <4569>.
  • Acts 12
  • 1. Now <1161> about <2596> that time <2540> Herod <2264> the king <935> stretched <1911> forth <1911> [his] hands <5495> to vex <2559> certain <5100> of the church <1577>.
  • 2 And he killed <337> James <2385> the brother <80> of John <2491> with the sword <3162>.
  • 3 And because he saw <1492> it pleased <701> the Jews <2453>, he proceeded <4369> further to take <4815> Peter <4074> also <2532>. (Then were the days <2250> of unleavened <106> bread.)
  • 4 And when he had apprehended <4084> him, he put <5087> [him] in prison <5438>, and delivered <3860> [him] to four <5064> quaternions <5069> of soldiers <4757> to keep <5442> him; intending <1011> after <3326> Easter <3957> to bring <321> him forth <321> to the people <2992>.
  • 5. Peter <4074> therefore <3767> was kept <5083> in prison <5438>: but prayer <4335> was made <1096> without <1618> ceasing <1618> of the church <1577> unto God <2316> for him.
  • 6 And when <3753> Herod <2264> would <3195> have brought <4254> him forth <4254>, the same <1565> night <3571> Peter <4074> was sleeping <2837> between <3342> two <1417> soldiers <4757>, bound <1210> with two <1417> chains <254>: and the keepers <5441> before <4253> the door <2374> kept <5083> the prison <5438>.
  • 7 And, behold <2400>, the angel <32> of the Lord <2962> came <2186> upon [him], and a light <5457> shined <2989> in the prison <3612>: and he smote <3960> Peter <4074> on the side <4125>, and raised <1453> him up, saying <3004>, Arise <450> up quickly <5034>. And his chains <254> fell <1601> off <1601> from [his] hands <5495>.
  • 8 And the angel <32> said <2036> unto him, Gird <2224> thyself, and bind <5265> on <5265> thy sandals <4547>. And so <3779> he did <4160>. And he saith <3004> unto him, Cast <4016> thy garment <2440> about <4016> thee, and follow <190> me.
  • 9 And he went <1831> out, and followed <190> him; and wist <1492> not that it was true <227> which <3588> was done <1096> by the angel <32>; but thought <1380> he saw <991> a vision <3705>.
  • 10 When they were past <1330> the first <4413> and the second <1208> ward <5438>, they came <2064> unto the iron <4603> gate <4439> that leadeth <5342> unto the city <4172>; which <3748> opened <455> to them of his own <848> accord <844>: and they went <1831> out, and passed <4281> on through one <3391> street <4505>; and forthwith <2112> the angel <32> departed <868> from him.
  • 11 And when Peter <4074> was come <1096> to himself <1438>, he said <2036>, Now <3568> I know <1492> of a surety <230>, that the Lord <2962> hath sent <1821> his angel <32>, and hath delivered <1807> me out of the hand <5495> of Herod <2264>, and [from] all <3956> the expectation <4329> of the people <2992> of the Jews <2453>.
  • 12 And when he had considered <4894> [the thing], he came <2064> to the house <3614> of Mary <3137> the mother <3384> of John <2491>, whose <3588> surname <1941> was Mark <3138>; where <3757> many <2425> were gathered <4863> together <4867> praying <4336>.
  • 13 And as Peter <4074> knocked <2925> at the door of the gate <4440>, a damsel <3814> came <4334> to hearken <5219>, named <3686> Rhoda <4498>.
  • 14 And when she knew <1921> Peter's <4074> voice <5456>, she opened <455> not the gate <4440> for gladness <5479>, but ran <1532> in, and told <518> how Peter <4074> stood <2476> before <4253> the gate <4440>.
  • 15 And they said <2036> unto her, Thou art mad <3105>. But she constantly <1340> affirmed <1340> that it was even so <3779>. Then <1161> said <3004> they, It is his angel.
  • 16 But Peter <4074> continued <1961> knocking <2925>: and when they had opened <455> [the door], and saw <1492> him, they were astonished <1839>.
  • 17 But he, beckoning <2678> unto them with the hand <5495> to hold <4601> their peace <4601>, declared <1334> unto them how <4459> the Lord <2962> had brought <1806> him out of the prison <5438>. And he said <2036>, Go shew <518> these <5023> things unto James <2385>, and to the brethren <80>. And he departed <1831>, and went <4198> into <1519> another <2087> place <5117>.
  • 18 Now <1161> as soon <1096> as it was day <2250>, there was no <3756> small <3641> stir <5017> among <1722> the soldiers <4757>, what <686> was become <1096> of Peter <4074>.
  • 19 And when Herod <2264> had sought <1934> for him, and found <2147> him not, he examined <350> the keepers <5441>, and commanded <2753> that [they] should be put <520> to death <520>. And he went <2718> down <2718> from Judaea <2449> to Caesarea <2542>, and [there] abode <1304>.
  • 20. And Herod <2264> was highly <2371> displeased <2371> with them of Tyre <5183> and Sidon <4605>: but they came <3918> with one <3661> accord <3661> to him, and, having made <3982> Blastus <986> the king's <935> chamberlain <2846> their friend <3982>, desired <154> peace <1515>; because <1223> their country <5561> was nourished <5142> by the king's <937> [country <5561>].
  • 21 And upon a set <5002> day <2250> Herod <2264>, arrayed <1746> in royal <937> apparel <2066>, sat <2523> upon his throne <968>, and made <1215> an oration <1215> unto them.
  • 22 And the people <1218> gave a shout <2019>, [saying, It is] the voice <5456> of a god <2316>, and not of a man <444>.
  • 23 And immediately <3916> the angel <32> of the Lord <2962> smote <3960> him, because <3739> he gave <1325> not God <2316> the glory <1391>: and he was eaten <4662> of worms <4662>, and gave up the ghost <1634>.
  • 24 But the word <3056> of God <2316> grew <837> and multiplied <4129>.
  • 25 And Barnabas <921> and Saul <4569> returned <5290> from Jerusalem <2419>, when they had fulfilled <4137> [their] ministry <1248>, and took <4838> with them John <2491>, whose <3588> surname <1941> was Mark <3138>.
  • Acts 13
  • 1. Now <1161> there were in the church <1577> that was at <1722> Antioch <490> certain <5100> prophets <4396> and teachers <1320>; as Barnabas <921>, and Simeon <4826> that was called <2564> Niger <3526>, and Lucius <3066> of Cyrene <2957>, and Manaen <3127>, which had been brought <4939> up with Herod <2264> the tetrarch <5076>, and Saul <4569>.
  • 2 As they ministered <3008> to the Lord <2962>, and fasted <3522>, the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> said <2036>, Separate <873> me Barnabas <921> and Saul <4569> for the work <2041> whereunto <3739> I have called <4341> them.
  • 3 And when they had fasted <3522> and prayed <4336>, and laid <2007> [their] hands <5495> on <2007> them, they sent <630> [them] away <630>.
  • 4. So <3767> they, being sent <1599> forth <1599> by the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, departed <2718> unto Seleucia <4581>; and from thence <1564> they sailed <636> to Cyprus <2954>.
  • 5 And when they were at <1722> Salamis <4529>, they preached <2605> the word <3056> of God <2316> in the synagogues <4864> of the Jews <2453>: and they had <2192> also <2532> John <2491> to [their] minister <5257>.
  • 6 And when they had gone <1330> through <1330> the isle <3520> unto Paphos <3974>, they found <2147> a certain <5100> sorcerer <3097>, a false <5578> prophet <5578>, a Jew <2453>, whose <3739> name <3686> [was] Barjesus <919>:
  • 7 Which <3739> was with the deputy <446> of the country, Sergius <4588> Paulus <3972>, a prudent <4908> man <435>; who <3778> called <4341> for Barnabas <921> and Saul <4569>, and desired <1934> to hear <191> the word <3056> of God <2316>.
  • 8 But Elymas <1681> the sorcerer <3097> (for so <3779> is his name <3686> by interpretation <3177>) withstood <436> them, seeking <2212> to turn <1294> away <1294> the deputy <446> from the faith <4102>.
  • 9 Then <1161> Saul <4569>, (who also <2532> [is called] Paul <3972>,) filled <4130> with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, set <816> his eyes on <1519> him,
  • 10 And said <2036>, O full <4134> of all <3956> subtilty <1388> and all <3956> mischief <4468>, [thou] child <5207> of the devil <1228>, [thou] enemy <2190> of all <3956> righteousness <1343>, wilt thou not cease <3973> to pervert <1294> the right <2117> ways <3598> of the Lord <2962>?
  • 11 And now <3568>, behold <2400>, the hand <5495> of the Lord <2962> [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind <5185>, not seeing <991> the sun <2246> for a season <2540>. And immediately <3916> there fell <1968> on <1909> him a mist <887> and a darkness <4655>; and he went <4013> about <4013> seeking <2212> some to lead <5497> him by the hand <5497>.
  • 12 Then <5119> the deputy <446>, when he saw <1492> what <3588> was done <1096>, believed <4100>, being astonished <1605> at <1909> the doctrine <1322> of the Lord <2962>.
  • 13 Now <1161> when Paul <3972> and his company <4012> loosed <321> from Paphos <3974>, they came <2064> to Perga <4011> in Pamphylia <3828>: and John <2491> departing <672> from them returned <5290> to Jerusalem <2414>.
  • 14. But when they departed <1330> from Perga <4011>, they came <3854> to Antioch <490> in Pisidia <4099>, and went <1525> into <1519> the synagogue <4864> on the sabbath <4521> day <2250>, and sat <2523> down <2523>.
  • 15 And after <3326> the reading <320> of the law <3551> and the prophets <4396> the rulers <752> of the synagogue <752> sent <649> unto them, saying <3004>, [Ye] men <435> [and] brethren <80>, if <1487> ye have <2076> any <5150> word <3056> of exhortation <3874> for the people <2992>, say <3004> on.
  • 16 Then <1161> Paul <3972> stood <450> up, and beckoning <2678> with [his] hand <5495> said <2036>, Men <435> of Israel <2475>, and ye that fear <5399> God <2316>, give audience <191>.
  • 17 The God <2316> of this <5127> people <2992> of Israel <2474> chose <1586> our fathers <3962>, and exalted <5312> the people <2992> when <3588> they dwelt <3940> as strangers <3940> in the land <1093> of Egypt <125>, and with an high <5308> arm <1023> brought <1806> he them out of it.
  • 18 And about <5613> the time <5550> of forty <5063> years <5063> suffered <5159> he their manners <5159> in the wilderness <2048>.
  • 19 And when he had destroyed <2507> seven <2033> nations <1484> in the land <1093> of Chanaan <5477>, he divided <2624> their land <1093> to them by lot <2624>.
  • 20 And after <3326> that he gave <1325> [unto them] judges <2923> about <5613> the space of four <5071> hundred <5071> and fifty <4004> years <2094>, until <2193> Samuel <4545> the prophet <4396>.
  • 21 And afterward <2547> they desired <154> a king <935>: and God <2316> gave <1325> unto them Saul <4569> the son <5207> of Cis <2797>, a man <435> of the tribe <5443> of Benjamin <958>, by the space of forty <5062> years <2094>.
  • 22 And when he had removed <3179> him, he raised <1453> up unto them David <1138> to be their king <935>; to whom <3739> also <2532> he gave <3140> testimony <3140>, and said <2036>, I have found <2147> David <1138> the [son] of Jesse <2421>, a man <435> after <2596> mine <3450> own heart <2588>, which <3739> shall fulfil <4160> all <3956> my will <2307>.
  • 23 Of this <5127> man's seed <4690> hath God <2316> according <2596> to [his] promise <1860> raised <1453> unto Israel <2474> a Saviour <4990>, Jesus <2424>:
  • 24 When John <2491> had first preached <4296> before <4383> his coming <1529> the baptism <908> of repentance <3341> to all <3956> the people <2992> of Israel <2474>.
  • 25 And as John <2491> fulfilled <4137> his course <1408>, he said <3004>, Whom <5101> think <5282> ye that I am <1511>? I am <1510> not [he]. But, behold <2400>, there cometh <2064> one after <3326> me, whose <3739> shoes <5266> of [his] feet <4228> I am <1510> not worthy <514> to loose <3089>.
  • 26 Men <435> [and] brethren <80>, children <5207> of the stock <1085> of Abraham <11>, and whosoever <3588> among <1722> you feareth <5399> God <2316>, to you is the word <3056> of this <5026> salvation <4991> sent <649>.
  • 27 For they that dwell <2730> at <1722> Jerusalem <2419>, and their rulers <758>, because they knew <50> him not, nor <2532> yet the voices <5456> of the prophets <4396> which <3588> are read <314> every <3956> sabbath <4521> day, they have fulfilled <4137> [them] in condemning <2919> [him].
  • 28 And though they found <2147> no <3367> cause <156> of death <2288> [in him], yet desired <154> they Pilate <4091> that he should be slain <337>.
  • 29 And when <5613> they had fulfilled <5055> all <537> that was written <1125> of him, they took <2507> [him] down <2507> from the tree <3586>, and laid <5087> [him] in a sepulchre <3419>.
  • 30 But God <2316> raised <1453> him from the dead <3498>:
  • 31 And he was seen <3700> many <4119> days <2250> of them which came <4872> up with him from Galilee <1056> to Jerusalem <2419>, who <3748> are his witnesses <3144> unto the people <2992>.
  • 32 And we declare <2097> unto you glad <2097> tidings <2097>, how that the promise <1860> which was made <1096> unto the fathers <3962>,
  • 33 God <2316> hath fulfilled <1603> the same <5026> unto us their children <5043>, in that he hath raised <450> up Jesus <2424> again <450>; as it is also <2532> written <1125> in the second <1208> psalm <5568>, Thou art <1488> my Son <5207>, this <4594> day <4594> have I begotten <1080> thee.
  • 34 And as concerning <3754> that he raised <450> him up from the dead <3498>, [now] no <3371> more <2001> to return <5290> to corruption <1312>, he said <5346> on this <3779> wise <3779>, I will give <1325> you the sure <4103> mercies <3741> of David <1138>.
  • 35 Wherefore <1352> he saith <3004> also <2532> in another <2087> [psalm], Thou shalt not suffer <1325> thine <4675> Holy <3741> One to see <1492> corruption <1312>.
  • 36 For David <1138>, after he had served <5256> his own <2398> generation <1074> by the will <1012> of God <2316>, fell on sleep <2837>, and was laid <4369> unto his fathers <3962>, and saw <1492> corruption <1312>:
  • 37 But he, whom <3739> God <2316> raised <1453> again <1453>, saw <1492> no <3756> corruption <1312>.
  • 38 Be it known <1110> unto you therefore <3767>, men <435> [and] brethren <80>, that through <1223> this <5127> man is preached <2605> unto you the forgiveness <859> of sins <266>:
  • 39 And by him all <3956> that believe <4100> are justified <1344> from all <3956> things, from which <3739> ye could <1410> not be justified <1344> by the law <3551> of Moses <3475>.
  • 40 Beware <991> therefore <3767>, lest <3361> that come <1904> upon you, which is spoken <2046> of in the prophets <4396>;
  • 41 Behold <1492>, ye despisers <2707>, and wonder <2296>, and perish <853>: for I work <2038> a work <2038> in your <5216> days <2250>, a work <2041> which ye shall in no <3364> wise believe <4100>, though <1437> a man <5100> declare <1555> it unto you.
  • 42. And when the Jews <2453> were gone <1826> out of the synagogue <4864>, the Gentiles <1484> besought <3870> that these <5023> words <4487> might be preached <2980> to them the next <3342> sabbath <4521>.
  • 43 Now <1161> when the congregation <4864> was broken <3089> up, many <4183> of the Jews <2453> and religious <4576> proselytes <4339> followed <190> Paul <3972> and Barnabas <921>: who <3748>, speaking <4354> to them, persuaded <3982> them to continue <1961> in the grace <5485> of God <2316>.
  • 44 And the next <2064> sabbath <4521> day came <4863> almost <4975> the whole <3956> city <4172> together <4863> to hear <191> the word <3056> of God <2316>.
  • 45 But when the Jews <2453> saw <1492> the multitudes <3793>, they were filled <4130> with envy <2205>, and spake <483> against <483> those <3588> things which were spoken <3004> by Paul <3972>, contradicting <483> and blaspheming <987>.
  • 46 Then <1161> Paul <3972> and Barnabas <921> waxed <3955> bold <3955>, and said <2036>, It was necessary <316> that the word <3056> of God <2316> should first <4412> have been spoken <2980> to you: but seeing <1894> ye put <683> it from you, and judge <2919> yourselves <1438> unworthy <514> of everlasting <166> life <2222>, lo <2400>, we turn <4762> to the Gentiles <1484>.
  • 47 For so <3779> hath the Lord <2962> commanded <1781> us, [saying], I have set <5087> thee to be a light <5457> of the Gentiles <1484>, that thou shouldest be for salvation <4991> unto the ends <2078> of the earth <1093>.
  • 48 And when the Gentiles <1484> heard <191> this, they were glad <5463>, and glorified <1392> the word <3056> of the Lord <2962>: and as many <3745> as were ordained <5021> to eternal <166> life <2222> believed <4100>.
  • 49 And the word <3056> of the Lord <2962> was published <1308> throughout <1223> all <3650> the region <5561>.
  • 50 But the Jews <2453> stirred <3951> up the devout <4576> and honourable <2158> women <1135>, and the chief <4413> men of the city <4172>, and raised <1892> persecution <1375> against <1909> Paul <3972> and Barnabas <921>, and expelled <1544> them out of their coasts <3725>.
  • 51 But they shook <1621> off <1621> the dust <2868> of their feet <4228> against <1909> them, and came <2064> unto Iconium <2430>.
  • 52 And the disciples <3101> were filled <4137> with joy <5479>, and with the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.
  • Acts 14
  • 1. And it came <1096> to pass in Iconium <2430>, that they went <1525> both together <846> into <1519> the synagogue <4864> of the Jews <2453>, and so <3779> spake <2980>, that a great <4183> multitude <4128> both <5037> of the Jews <2453> and also <2532> of the Greeks <1672> believed <4100>.
  • 2 But the unbelieving <544> Jews <2453> stirred <1892> up the Gentiles <1484>, and made <2559> their minds <5590> evil <2559> affected <2559> against <2596> the brethren <80>.
  • 3 Long <2425> time <5550> therefore <3767> abode <1304> they speaking boldly <3955> in the Lord <2962>, which <3588> gave <3140> testimony <3140> unto the word <3056> of his grace <5485>, and granted <1325> signs <4591> and wonders <5059> to be done <1096> by their hands <5495>.
  • 4 But the multitude <4128> of the city <4172> was divided <4977>: and part held <2258> with the Jews <2453>, and part with the apostles <652>.
  • 5 And when <5613> there was an assault <3730> made <1096> both <5037> of the Gentiles <1484>, and also of the Jews <2453> with their rulers <758>, to use <5195> [them] despitefully <5195>, and to stone <3036> them,
  • 6 They were ware <4894> of [it], and fled <2703> unto Lystra <3082> and Derbe <1191>, cities <4172> of Lycaonia <3071>, and unto the region <4066> that lieth round <4066> about <4066>:
  • 7 And there <1563> they preached <2097> the gospel <2097>.
  • 8. And there sat <2521> a certain <5100> man <435> at <1722> Lystra <3082>, impotent <102> in his feet <4228>, being <5225> a cripple <5560> from his mother's <3384> womb <2836>, who <3739> never <3763> had walked <4043>:
  • 9 The same <3778> heard <191> Paul <3972> speak <2980>: who <3739> stedfastly <816> beholding <816> him, and perceiving <1492> that he had <2192> faith <4102> to be healed <4982>,
  • 10 Said <2036> with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, Stand <450> upright <3717> on <1909> thy feet <4228>. And he leaped <242> and walked <4043>.
  • 11 And when the people <3793> saw <1492> what <3739> Paul <3972> had done <4160>, they lifted <1869> up their voices <5456>, saying <3004> in the speech <3072> of Lycaonia <3071>, The gods <2316> are come <2597> down <2597> to us in the likeness <3666> of men <444>.
  • 12 And they called <2564> Barnabas <921>, Jupiter <2203>; and Paul <3972>, Mercurius <2060>, because <1894> he was the chief <2233> speaker <3056>.
  • 13 Then <1161> the priest <2409> of Jupiter <2203>, which <3588> was before <4253> their city <4172>, brought <5342> oxen <5022> and garlands <4725> unto the gates <4440>, and would <2309> have done sacrifice <2380> with the people <3793>.
  • 14 [Which] when the apostles <652>, Barnabas <921> and Paul <3972>, heard <191> [of], they rent <1284> their clothes <2440>, and ran <1530> in among <1519> the people <3793>, crying <2896> out,
  • 15 And saying <3004>, Sirs <435>, why <5101> do <4160> ye these <5130> things? We also <2532> are men <444> of like <3663> passions <3663> with you, and preach <2097> unto you that ye should turn <1994> from these <5023> vanities <3152> unto the living <2198> God <2316>, which <3739> made <4160> heaven <3772>, and earth <1093>, and the sea <2281>, and all <3956> things that are therein <846>:
  • 16 Who <3739> in times <1074> past <3944> suffered <1439> all <3956> nations <1484> to walk <4198> in their own <848> ways <3598>.
  • 17 Nevertheless <2544> he left <863> not himself <1438> without <267> witness <267>, in that he did <15> good <15>, and gave <1325> us rain <5205> from heaven <3771>, and fruitful <2593> seasons <2540>, filling <1705> our hearts <2588> with food <5160> and gladness <2167>.
  • 18 And with these <5023> sayings <3004> scarce <3433> restrained <2664> they the people <3793>, that they had not done sacrifice <2380> unto them.
  • 19. And there came <1904> thither <1904> [certain] Jews <2453> from Antioch <490> and Iconium <2430>, who <2532> persuaded <3982> the people <3793>, and, having stoned <3034> Paul <3972>, drew <4951> [him] out of the city <4172>, supposing <3543> he had been dead <2348>.
  • 20 Howbeit, as the disciples <3101> stood <2944> round <2944> about <2944> him, he rose <450> up, and came <1525> into <1519> the city <4172>: and the next <1887> day <1887> he departed <1831> with Barnabas <921> to Derbe <1191>.
  • 21 And when they had preached <2097> the gospel <2097> to that city <4172>, and had taught <3100> many <2425>, they returned <5290> again <5290> to Lystra <3082>, and [to] Iconium <2430>, and Antioch <490>,
  • 22 Confirming <1991> the souls <5590> of the disciples <3101>, [and] exhorting <3870> them to continue <1696> in the faith <4102>, and that we must <1163> through <1223> much <4183> tribulation <2347> enter <1525> into <1519> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
  • 23 And when they had ordained <5500> them elders <4245> in every <2596> church <1577>, and had prayed <4336> with fasting <3521>, they commended <3908> them to the Lord <2962>, on <1519> whom <3739> they believed <4100>.
  • 24 And after they had passed <1330> throughout <1330> Pisidia <4099>, they came <2064> to Pamphylia <3828>.
  • 25 And when they had preached <2980> the word <3056> in Perga <4011>, they went <2597> down <2597> into <1519> Attalia <825>:
  • 26 And thence <1564> sailed <636> to Antioch <490>, from whence <3606> they had been recommended <3860> to the grace <5485> of God <2316> for the work <2041> which <3739> they fulfilled <4137>.
  • 27 And when they were come <3854>, and had gathered <4863> the church <1577> together <4863>, they rehearsed <312> all <3745> that God <2316> had done <4160> with them, and how he had opened <455> the door <2374> of faith <4102> unto the Gentiles <1484>.
  • 28 And there <1563> they abode <1304> long <3641> time <5550> with the disciples <3101>.
  • Acts 15
  • 1. And certain <5100> men which came <2718> down <2718> from Judaea <2449> taught <1321> the brethren <80>, [and said], Except <3362> ye be circumcised <4059> after the manner <1485> of Moses <3475>, ye cannot <1410> be saved <4982>.
  • 2 When therefore <3767> Paul <3972> and Barnabas <921> had <1096> no <3756> small <3641> dissension <4714> and disputation <4803> with them, they determined <5021> that Paul <3972> and Barnabas <921>, and certain <5100> other <243> of them, should go <305> up to Jerusalem <2419> unto the apostles <652> and elders <4245> about <4012> this <5127> question <2213>.
  • 3 And being brought <4311> on their way <4311> by the church <1577>, they passed <1330> through <1330> Phenice <5403> and Samaria <4540>, declaring <1555> the conversion <1995> of the Gentiles <1484>: and they caused <4160> great <3173> joy <5479> unto all <3956> the brethren <80>.
  • 4 And when they were come <3854> to Jerusalem <2419>, they were received <588> of the church <1577>, and [of] the apostles <652> and elders <4245>, and they declared <312> all <3745> things that God <2316> had done <4160> with them.
  • 5 But there rose <1817> up certain <5100> of the sect <139> of the Pharisees <5330> which believed <4100>, saying <3004>, That it was needful <1163> to circumcise <4059> them, and to command <3853> [them] to keep <5083> the law <3551> of Moses <3475>.
  • 6. And the apostles <652> and elders <4245> came <4863> together <4863> for to consider <1492> of this <5127> matter <3056>.
  • 7 And when there had been <1096> much <4183> disputing <4803>, Peter <4074> rose <450> up, and said <2036> unto them, Men <435> [and] brethren <80>, ye know <1987> how that a good while <2250> ago <575> God <2316> made <1586> choice <1586> among <1722> us, that the Gentiles <1484> by my mouth <4750> should hear <191> the word <3056> of the gospel <2098>, and believe <4100>.
  • 8 And God <2316>, which knoweth <2589> the hearts <2589>, bare <3140> them witness <3140>, giving <1325> them the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, even <2532> as [he did] unto us;
  • 9 And put <1252> no <3762> difference <1252> between <3342> us and them, purifying <2511> their hearts <2588> by faith <4102>.
  • 10 Now <3568> therefore <3767> why <5101> tempt <3985> ye God <2316>, to put <2007> a yoke <2218> upon the neck <5137> of the disciples <3101>, which <3739> neither <3777> our fathers <3962> nor <3777> we were able <2480> to bear <941>?
  • 11 But we believe <4100> that through <1223> the grace <5485> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> we shall be saved <4982>, even <2548> as they.
  • 12 Then <1161> all <3956> the multitude <4128> kept <4601> silence <4601>, and gave audience <191> to Barnabas <921> and Paul <3972>, declaring <1834> what <3745> miracles <4592> and wonders <5059> God <2316> had wrought <4160> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484> by them.
  • 13 And after <3326> they had held <4601> their peace <4601>, James <2385> answered <611>, saying <3004>, Men <435> [and] brethren <80>, hearken <191> unto me:
  • 14 Simeon <4826> hath declared <1834> how <2531> God <2316> at the first <4412> did visit <1980> the Gentiles <1484>, to take <2983> out of them a people <2992> for his name <3686>.
  • 15 And to this <5129> agree <4856> the words <3056> of the prophets <4396>; as it is written <1125>,
  • 16 After <3326> this <5023> I will return <390>, and will build <456> again <456> the tabernacle <4633> of David <1138>, which <3588> is fallen <4098> down; and I will build <456> again <456> the ruins <2679> thereof <846>, and I will set <461> it up:
  • 17 That the residue <2645> of men <444> might seek <1567> after <1567> the Lord <2962>, and all <3956> the Gentiles <1484>, upon whom <3739> my name <3686> is called <1941>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>, who <3588> doeth <4160> all <3956> these <5023> things.
  • 18 Known <1110> unto God <2316> are all <3956> his works <2041> from the beginning of the world <165>.
  • 19 Wherefore <1352> my sentence <2919> is, that we trouble <3926> not them, which <3588> from among <575> the Gentiles <1484> are turned <1994> to God <2316>:
  • 20 But that we write <1989> unto them, that they abstain <567> from pollutions <234> of idols <1497>, and [from] fornication <4202>, and [from] things strangled <4156>, and [from] blood <129>.
  • 21 For Moses <3475> of old <744> time <1074> hath <2192> in every <2596> city <4172> them that preach <2784> him, being read <314> in the synagogues <4864> every <3956> sabbath <4521> day.
  • 22. Then <5119> pleased <1380> it the apostles <652> and elders <4245>, with the whole <3650> church <1577>, to send <3992> chosen <1586> men <435> of their own company to Antioch <490> with Paul <3972> and Barnabas <921>; [namely], Judas <2455> surnamed <1941> Barsabas <923>, and Silas <4609>, chief <2233> men <435> among <1722> the brethren <80>:
  • 23 And they wrote <1125> [letters] by them after this <3592> manner <3592>; The apostles <652> and elders <4245> and brethren <80> [send] greeting <5463> unto the brethren <80> which <3588> are of the Gentiles <1484> in Antioch <490> and Syria <4947> and Cilicia <2791>:
  • 24 Forasmuch <1894> as we have heard <191>, that certain <5100> which went <1831> out from us have troubled <5015> you with words <3056>, subverting <384> your <5216> souls <5590>, saying <3004>, [Ye must] be circumcised <4059>, and keep <5083> the law <3551>: to whom <3739> we gave <1291> no <3756> [such] commandment <1291>:
  • 25 It seemed <1380> good unto us, being assembled <1096> with one <3661> accord <3661>, to send <3992> chosen <1586> men <435> unto you with our beloved <27> Barnabas <921> and Paul <3972>,
  • 26 Men <444> that have hazarded <3860> their lives <5590> for the name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
  • 27 We have sent <649> therefore <3767> Judas <2455> and Silas <4609>, who <846> shall also <2532> tell <518> [you] the same <846> things by mouth <3056>.
  • 28 For it seemed <1380> good to the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, and to us, to lay <2007> upon you no <3367> greater <4119> burden <922> than <4133> these <5130> necessary <1876> things;
  • 29 That ye abstain <567> from meats offered <1494> to idols <1494>, and from blood <129>, and from things strangled <4156>, and from fornication <4202>: from which <3739> if ye keep <1301> yourselves <1438>, ye shall do <4238> well <2095>. Fare <4517> ye well <2095>.
  • 30 So <3767> when they were dismissed <630>, they came <2064> to Antioch <490>: and when they had gathered <4863> the multitude <4128> together <4863>, they delivered <1929> the epistle <1992>:
  • 31 [Which] when they had read <314>, they rejoiced <5463> for the consolation <3874>.
  • 32 And Judas <2455> and Silas <4609>, being <5607> prophets <4396> also <2532> themselves <846>, exhorted <3870> the brethren <80> with many <4183> words <3056>, and confirmed <1991> [them].
  • 33 And after they had tarried <4160> [there] a space <5550>, they were let <630> go <630> in peace <1515> from the brethren <80> unto the apostles.
  • 34 Notwithstanding it pleased <1380> Silas <4609> to abide <1961> there <847> still.
  • 35 Paul <3972> also <1161> and Barnabas <921> continued <1304> in Antioch <490>, teaching <1321> and preaching <2097> the word <3056> of the Lord <2962>, with many <4183> others <2087> also <2532>.
  • 36. And some <5100> days <2250> after <3326> Paul <3972> said <2036> unto Barnabas <921>, Let us go <1994> again <1994> and visit <1980> our brethren <80> in every <3956> city <4172> where <3739> we have preached <2605> the word <3056> of the Lord <2962>, [and see] how <4459> they do <2192>.
  • 37 And Barnabas <921> determined <1011> to take <4838> with them John <2491>, whose <3588> surname <2564> was Mark <3138>.
  • 38 But Paul <3972> thought not good <515> to take <4838> him with them, who <3588> departed <868> from them from Pamphylia <3828>, and went <4905> not with them to the work <2041>.
  • 39 And the contention <3948> was so <5620> sharp between them, that they departed <673> asunder <673> one <240> from the other <240>: and so <5037> Barnabas <921> took <3880> Mark <3138>, and sailed <1602> unto Cyprus <2954>;
  • 40 And Paul <3972> chose <1951> Silas <4609>, and departed <1831>, being recommended <3860> by the brethren <80> unto the grace <5485> of God <2316>.
  • 41 And he went <1330> through <1350> Syria <4947> and Cilicia <2791>, confirming <1991> the churches <1577>.
  • Acts 16
  • 1. Then <1161> came <2658> he to Derbe <1191> and Lystra <3082>: and, behold <2400>, a certain <5100> disciple <3101> was there <1563>, named <3686> Timotheus <5095>, the son <5207> of a certain <5100> woman <1135>, which was a Jewess <2453>, and believed <4103>; but his father <3962> [was] a Greek <1672>:
  • 2 Which <3739> was well <3140> reported <3140> of by the brethren <80> that were at <1722> Lystra <3082> and Iconium <2430>.
  • 3 Him would <2309> Paul <3972> have to go <1831> forth <1831> with him; and took <2983> and circumcised <4059> him because <1223> of the Jews <2453> which <3588> were in those <1565> quarters <5117>: for they knew <1492> all <537> that his father <3962> was a Greek <1672>.
  • 4 And as they went <1279> through <1279> the cities <4172>, they delivered <3860> them the decrees <1378> for to keep <5442>, that were ordained <2919> of the apostles <652> and elders <4245> which <3588> were at <1722> Jerusalem <2419>.
  • 5 And so <3767> were the churches <1577> established <4732> in the faith <4102>, and increased <4052> in number <706> daily <2250>.
  • 6. Now <1161> when they had gone <1330> throughout <1330> Phrygia <5435> and the region <5561> of Galatia <1054>, and were forbidden <2967> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> to preach <2980> the word <3056> in Asia <773>,
  • 7 After they were come <2064> to Mysia <3465>, they assayed <3985> to go <4198> into <2596> Bithynia <978>: but the Spirit <4151> suffered <1439> them not.
  • 8 And they passing <3928> by Mysia <3465> came <2597> down <2597> to Troas <5174>.
  • 9 And a vision <3705> appeared <3700> to Paul <3972> in the night <3571>; There stood <2476> a man <435> of Macedonia <3110>, and prayed <3870> him, saying <3004>, Come <1224> over <1224> into <1519> Macedonia <3109>, and help <997> us.
  • 10 And after <5613> he had seen <1492> the vision <3705>, immediately <2112> we endeavoured <2212> to go <1831> into <1519> Macedonia <3109>, assuredly <4822> gathering <4822> that the Lord <2962> had called <4341> us for to preach <2097> the gospel <2097> unto them.
  • 11 Therefore <3767> loosing <321> from Troas <5174>, we came <2113> with a straight <2113> course <2113> to Samothracia <4543>, and the next <1966> [day] to Neapolis <3496>;
  • 12 And from thence <1564> to Philippi <5375>, which <3748> is the chief <4413> city <4172> of that part <3310> of Macedonia <3109>, [and] a colony <2862>: and we were in that city <4172> abiding <1304> certain <5100> days <2250>.
  • 13 And on the sabbath <4521> we went <1831> out of the city <4172> by a river <4215> side <3844>, where prayer <4335> was wont <3543> to be made <1511>; and we sat <2523> down <2523>, and spake <2980> unto the women <1135> which resorted <4905> [thither].
  • 14 And a certain <5100> woman <1135> named <3686> Lydia <3070>, a seller <4211> of purple <4211>, of the city <4172> of Thyatira <2363>, which worshipped <4576> God <2316>, heard <191> [us]: whose <3739> heart <2588> the Lord <2962> opened <1272>, that she attended <4337> unto the things which were spoken <2980> of Paul <3972>.
  • 15 And when <5613> she was baptized <907>, and her household <3624>, she besought <3870> [us], saying <3004>, If <1487> ye have judged <2919> me to be faithful <4103> to the Lord <2962>, come <1525> into <1519> my house <3624>, and abide <3306> [there]. And she constrained <3849> us.
  • 16. And it came <1096> to pass, as we went <4198> to prayer <4335>, a certain <5100> damsel <3814> possessed <2192> with a spirit <4151> of divination <4436> met <528> us, which <3748> brought <3930> her masters <2962> much <4183> gain <2039> by soothsaying <3132>:
  • 17 The same <3778> followed <2628> Paul <3972> and us, and cried <2896>, saying <3004>, These <3778> men <444> are the servants <1401> of the most <5310> high <5310> God <2316>, which <3748> shew <2605> unto us the way <3598> of salvation <4991>.
  • 18 And this <5124> did <4160> she many <4183> days <2250>. But Paul <3972>, being grieved <1278>, turned <1994> and said <2036> to the spirit <4151>, I command <3853> thee in the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> to come <1831> out of her. And he came <1831> out the same <846> hour <5610>.
  • 19 And when her masters <2962> saw <1492> that the hope <1680> of their gains <2039> was gone <1831>, they caught <1949> Paul <3972> and Silas <4609>, and drew <1670> [them] into <1519> the marketplace <58> unto the rulers <758>,
  • 20 And brought <4317> them to the magistrates <4755>, saying <2036>, These <3778> men <444>, being <5225> Jews <2453>, do exceedingly <1613> trouble <1613> our city <4172>,
  • 21 And teach <2605> customs <1485>, which <3739> are not lawful <1832> for us to receive <3858>, neither <3761> to observe <4160>, being <5605> Romans <4514>.
  • 22 And the multitude <3793> rose <4911> up together <4911> against <2596> them: and the magistrates <4755> rent <4048> off <4048> their clothes <2440>, and commanded <2753> to beat <4463> [them].
  • 23 And when they had laid <2007> many <4183> stripes <4127> upon them, they cast <906> [them] into <1519> prison <5438>, charging <3853> the jailor <1200> to keep <5083> them safely <806>:
  • 24 Who <3739>, having received <2983> such <5108> a charge <3852>, thrust <906> them into <1519> the inner <2082> prison <5438>, and made <805> their feet <4228> fast <805> in the stocks <3586>.
  • 25. And at <2596> midnight <3317> Paul <3972> and Silas <4609> prayed <4336>, and sang <5214> praises unto God <2316>: and the prisoners <1198> heard <1874> them.
  • 26 And suddenly <869> there was a great <3173> earthquake <4578>, so <5620> that the foundations <2310> of the prison <1201> were shaken <4531>: and immediately <3916> all <3956> the doors <2374> were opened <455>, and every <3956> one's bands <1199> were loosed <447>.
  • 27 And the keeper <1200> of the prison <1200> awaking <1853> out of his sleep <1853>, and seeing <1492> the prison <5438> doors <2374> open <455>, he drew <4685> out his sword <3162>, and would <3195> have killed <337> himself <1438>, supposing <3543> that the prisoners <1198> had been fled <1628>.
  • 28 But Paul <3972> cried <5455> with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, saying <3004>, Do <4238> thyself <4572> no <3367> harm <2556>: for we are all <537> here <1759>.
  • 29 Then <1161> he called <154> for a light <5457>, and sprang <1530> in, and came <1096> trembling <1790>, and fell <4363> down before <4363> Paul <3972> and Silas <4609>,
  • 30 And brought <4254> them out, and said <5346>, Sirs <2962>, what <5101> must <1163> I do <4160> to be saved <4982>?
  • 31 And they said <2036>, Believe <4100> on <1909> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and thou shalt be saved <4982>, and thy house <3624>.
  • 32 And they spake <2980> unto him the word <3056> of the Lord <2962>, and to all <3956> that were in his house <3614>.
  • 33 And he took <3880> them the same <1565> hour <5610> of the night <3571>, and washed <3068> [their] stripes <4127>; and was baptized <907>, he and all <3956> his, straightway <3916>.
  • 34 And when he had brought <321> them into <1519> his house <3624>, he set <3908> meat <5132> before <3908> them, and rejoiced <21>, believing <4100> in God <2316> with all <3832> his house <3832>.
  • 35. And when it was day <2250>, the magistrates <4755> sent <649> the serjeants <4465>, saying <3004>, Let <630> those <1565> men <444> go <630>.
  • 36 And the keeper <1200> of the prison <1200> told <518> this <5128> saying <3056> to Paul <3972>, The magistrates <4755> have sent <649> to let <630> you go <630>: now <3568> therefore <3767> depart <1831>, and go <4198> in peace <1515>.
  • 37 But Paul <3972> said <5346> unto them, They have beaten <1194> us openly <1219> uncondemned <178>, being <5225> Romans <4514>, and have cast <906> [us] into <1519> prison <5438>; and now <3568> do they thrust <1544> us out privily <2977>? nay <3756> verily <1063>; but let them come <2064> themselves <846> and fetch <1806> us out.
  • 38 And the serjeants <4465> told <312> these <5023> words <4487> unto the magistrates <4755>: and they feared <5399>, when they heard <191> that they were Romans <4514>.
  • 39 And they came <2064> and besought <3870> them, and brought <1806> [them] out, and desired <2065> [them] to depart <1831> out of the city <4172>.
  • 40 And they went <1831> out of the prison <5438>, and entered <1525> into <1519> [the house of] Lydia <3070>: and when they had seen <1492> the brethren <80>, they comforted <3870> them, and departed <1831>.
  • Acts 17
  • 1. Now <1161> when they had passed <1353> through <1653> Amphipolis <295> and Apollonia <624>, they came <2064> to Thessalonica <2332>, where <3699> was a synagogue <4864> of the Jews <2453>:
  • 2 And Paul <3972>, as his manner <1485> was, went <1525> in unto them, and three <5140> sabbath <4521> days reasoned <1256> with them out of the scriptures <1124>,
  • 3 Opening <1272> and alleging <3908>, that Christ <5547> must <1163> needs have suffered <3958>, and risen <450> again <450> from the dead <3498>; and that this <3778> Jesus <2424>, whom <3739> I preach <2605> unto you, is Christ <5547>.
  • 4 And some <5100> of them believed <3982>, and consorted <4345> with Paul <3972> and Silas <4609>; and of the devout <4576> Greeks <1672> a great <4183> multitude <4128>, and of the chief <4413> women <1135> not a few <3641>.
  • 5 But the Jews <2453> which believed <544> not, moved <2206> with envy <2206>, took <4355> unto them certain <5100> lewd <4190> fellows <435> of the baser <60> sort, and gathered <3792> a company <3792>, and set <2350> all the city <4172> on an uproar <2350>, and assaulted <2186> the house <3614> of Jason <2394>, and sought <2212> to bring <71> them out to the people <1218>.
  • 6 And when they found <2147> them not, they drew <4951> Jason <2394> and certain <5100> brethren <80> unto the rulers <4173> of the city <4173>, crying <994>, These <3778> that have turned <387> the world <3625> upside <389> down <387> are come <3918> hither <1759> also <2532>;
  • 7 Whom <3739> Jason <2394> hath received <5264>: and these <3778> all <3956> do <4160> contrary <561> to the decrees <1378> of Caesar <2541>, saying <3004> that there is another <2087> king <935>, [one] Jesus <2424>.
  • 8 And they troubled <5015> the people <3793> and the rulers <4173> of the city <4173>, when they heard <191> these <5023> things.
  • 9 And when they had taken <2983> security <2425> of Jason <2394>, and of the other <3062>, they let <630> them go <630>.
  • 10. And the brethren <80> immediately <2112> sent <1599> away <1599> Paul <3972> and Silas <4609> by night <3571> unto Berea <960>: who <3748> coming <3854> [thither <3854>] went <549> into <1519> the synagogue <4864> of the Jews <2453>.
  • 11 These <3778> were more noble <2104> than those <3588> in Thessalonica <2332>, in that they received <1209> the word <3056> with all <3956> readiness <4288> of mind <4288>, and searched <350> the scriptures <1124> daily <2250>, whether <1487> those <5023> things were so <3779>.
  • 12 Therefore <3767> many <4183> of them believed <4100>; also <2532> of honourable <2158> women <1135> which <3588> were Greeks <1674>, and of men <435>, not a few <3641>.
  • 13 But when <5613> the Jews <2453> of Thessalonica <2332> had knowledge <1097> that the word <3056> of God <2316> was preached <2605> of Paul <3972> at <1722> Berea <960>, they came <2064> thither <1563> also <2546>, and stirred <4531> up the people <3793>.
  • 14 And then <5119> immediately <2112> the brethren <80> sent <1821> away <1821> Paul <3972> to go <4198> as it were to the sea <2281>: but Silas <4609> and Timotheus <5095> abode <5278> there <1563> still.
  • 15 And they that conducted <2525> Paul <3972> brought <71> him unto Athens <116>: and receiving <2983> a commandment <1785> unto Silas <4609> and Timotheus <5095> for to come <2064> to him with all <5033> speed <5033>, they departed <1826>.
  • 16. Now <1161> while Paul <3972> waited <1551> for them at <1722> Athens <116>, his spirit <4151> was stirred <3947> in him, when he saw <2334> the city <4172> wholly given to idolatry <2712>.
  • 17 Therefore <3767> disputed <1256> he in the synagogue <4864> with the Jews <2453>, and with the devout <4576> persons, and in the market <58> daily <2250> with them that met <3909> with him.
  • 18 Then <1161> certain <5100> philosophers <5386> of the Epicureans <1946>, and of the Stoicks <4770>, encountered <4820> him. And some <5100> said <3004>, What <5101> will <2309> this <3778> babbler <4691> say <3004>? other <1161> some <3588>, He seemeth <1380> to be a setter <2604> forth <2604> of strange <3581> gods <1140>: because <3754> he preached <2907> unto them Jesus <2424>, and the resurrection <386>.
  • 19 And they took <1949> him, and brought <71> him unto Areopagus <697>, saying <3004>, May <1410> we know <1097> what <5101> this <3778> new <2537> doctrine <1322>, whereof thou speakest <2980>, [is]?
  • 20 For thou bringest <1533> certain <5100> strange <3579> things to our ears <189>: we would know <1097> therefore <3767> what <5101> these <5023> things mean <1511>.
  • 21 (For all <3956> the Athenians <117> and strangers <3581> which <3588> were there <1927> spent <2119> their time <2119> in nothing <3762> else <2087>, but either <2228> to tell <3004>, or <2532> to hear <191> some <5100> new <2537> thing.)
  • 22. Then <1161> Paul <3972> stood <2476> in the midst <3319> of Mars <697>' hill <697>, and said <5346>, [Ye] men <435> of Athens <117>, I perceive <2334> that in all <3956> things ye are too <1174> superstitious <1174>.
  • 23 For as I passed <1330> by, and beheld <333> your <5216> devotions <4574>, I found <2147> an altar <1041> with this <3739> inscription <1924>, TO THE UNKNOWN <57> GOD <2316>. Whom <3739> therefore <3767> ye ignorantly <50> worship <2151>, him declare <2605> I unto you.
  • 24 God <2316> that made <4160> the world <2889> and all <3956> things therein <846>, seeing that he is Lord <2962> of heaven <3772> and earth <1093>, dwelleth <2730> not in temples <3485> made <5499> with hands <5499>;
  • 25 Neither <3761> is worshipped <2323> with men's <444> hands <5495>, as though he needed <4326> any <5100> thing, seeing he giveth <1325> to all <3956> life <2222>, and breath <4157>, and all <3956> things;
  • 26 And hath made <4160> of one <1520> blood <129> all <3956> nations <1484> of men <444> for to dwell <2730> on <1909> all <3956> the face <4383> of the earth <1093>, and hath determined <3724> the times <2540> before <4384> appointed <4384>, and the bounds <3734> of their habitation <2733>;
  • 27 That they should seek <2212> the Lord <2962>, if <1487> haply <686> they might feel <5584> after him, and find <2147> him, though <2544> he be not far <3112> from every <1538> one <1520> of us:
  • 28 For in him we live <2198>, and move <2795>, and have our being <2070>; as certain <5100> also <2532> of your <5209> own <2596> poets <4163> have said <2046>, For we are also <2532> his offspring <1085>.
  • 29 Forasmuch then <3767> as we are the offspring <1085> of God <2316>, we ought <3784> not to think <3543> that the Godhead <2304> is like <3664> unto gold <5557>, or <2228> silver <696>, or <2228> stone <3037>, graven <5480> by art <5078> and man's <444> device <1761>.
  • 30 And the times <5550> of this <3588> ignorance <52> God <2316> winked <5237> at; but now <3568> commandeth <3853> all <3956> men <444> every <3837> where <3837> to repent <3340>:
  • 31 Because <1360> he hath appointed <2476> a day <2250>, in the which <3739> he will <3195> judge <2919> the world <3625> in righteousness <1343> by [that] man <435> whom <3739> he hath ordained <3724>; [whereof] he hath given <3930> assurance <4102> unto all <3956> [men], in that he hath raised <450> him from the dead <3498>.
  • 32. And when they heard <191> of the resurrection <386> of the dead <3498>, some <3588> mocked <5512>: and others <3588> said <2036>, We will hear <191> thee again <3825> of this <5127> [matter].
  • 33 So <3779> Paul <3972> departed <1831> from among <3319> them.
  • 34 Howbeit certain <5100> men <435> clave <2853> unto him, and believed <4100>: among <1722> the which <3739> [was] Dionysius <1354> the Areopagite <698>, and a woman <1135> named <3686> Damaris <1152>, and others <2087> with them.
  • Acts 18
  • 1. After <3326> these <5023> things Paul <3972> departed <5562> from Athens <116>, and came <2064> to Corinth <2882>;
  • 2 And found <2147> a certain <5100> Jew <2453> named <3686> Aquila <207>, born <1085> in Pontus <4195>, lately <4373> come <2064> from Italy <2482>, with his wife <1135> Priscilla <4252>; (because that Claudius <2804> had commanded <1299> all <3956> Jews <2453> to depart <5562> from Rome <4516>:) and came <4334> unto them.
  • 3 And because <1223> he was of the same <3673> craft <3673>, he abode <3306> with them, and wrought <2038>: for by their occupation <5078> they were tentmakers <4635>.
  • 4 And he reasoned <1256> in the synagogue <4864> every <3956> sabbath <4521>, and persuaded <3982> the Jews <2453> and the Greeks <1672>.
  • 5 And when <5613> Silas <4609> and Timotheus <5095> were come <2718> from Macedonia <3109>, Paul <3972> was pressed <4912> in the spirit <4151>, and testified <1263> to the Jews <2453> [that] Jesus <2424> [was] Christ <5547>.
  • 6 And when they opposed <498> themselves, and blasphemed <987>, he shook <1621> [his] raiment <2440>, and said <2036> unto them, Your <546> blood <129> [be] upon your <546> own heads <2776>; I [am] clean <2513>: from henceforth <3568> I will go <4198> unto the Gentiles <1484>.
  • 7. And he departed <1831> thence <1564>, and entered <2064> into <1519> a certain <5100> [man's] house <3614>, named <3686> Justus <2459>, [one] that worshipped <4576> God <2316>, whose <3739> house <3614> joined <4927> hard <4927> to the synagogue <4864>.
  • 8 And Crispus <2921>, the chief <752> ruler <752> of the synagogue <752>, believed <4100> on the Lord <2962> with all <3650> his house <3624>; and many <4183> of the Corinthians <2881> hearing <191> believed <4100>, and were baptized <907>.
  • 9 Then <1161> spake <2036> the Lord <2962> to Paul <3972> in the night <3571> by a vision <3705>, Be not afraid <5399>, but speak <2980>, and hold <4623> not thy peace <4623>:
  • 10 For I am <1510> with thee, and no <3762> man <3762> shall set <2007> on <2007> thee to hurt <2559> thee: for I have <2076> much <4183> people <2992> in this <5026> city <4172>.
  • 11 And he continued <2523> [there] a year <1763> and six <1803> months <3376>, teaching <1321> the word <3056> of God <2316> among <1722> them.
  • 12. And when Gallio <1058> was the deputy <446> of Achaia <882>, the Jews <2453> made <2721> insurrection <2721> with one <3361> accord <3661> against Paul <3972>, and brought <71> him to the judgment <968> seat <968>,
  • 13 Saying <3004>, This <3778> [fellow] persuadeth <374> men <444> to worship <4576> God <2316> contrary <3844> to the law <3551>.
  • 14 And when Paul <3972> was now <1161> about <3195> to open <455> [his] mouth <4750>, Gallio <1058> said <2036> unto the Jews <2453>, If <1487> it were a matter of wrong <92> or <2228> wicked <4190> lewdness <4467>, O [ye] Jews <2453>, reason <3056> would that I should bear <430> with you:
  • 15 But if <1487> it be a question <2213> of words <3056> and names <3686>, and [of] your <5209> law <3551>, look <3700> ye [to it]; for I will <1014> be no <3756> judge <2923> of such <5130> [matters].
  • 16 And he drave <556> them from the judgment <968> seat <968>.
  • 17 Then <1161> all <3956> the Greeks <1672> took <1949> Sosthenes <4988>, the chief <752> ruler <752> of the synagogue <752>, and beat <5180> [him] before <1715> the judgment <968> seat <968>. And Gallio <1058> cared <3199> for none <3762> of those <5130> things.
  • 18. And Paul <3972> [after this] tarried <4357> [there] yet <2089> a good <2425> while <2250>, and then took <657> his leave <657> of the brethren <80>, and sailed <1602> thence into <1519> Syria <4947>, and with him Priscilla <4252> and Aquila <207>; having shorn <2751> [his] head <2776> in Cenchrea <2747>: for he had <2192> a vow <2171>.
  • 19 And he came <2658> to Ephesus <2181>, and left <2641> them there <847>: but he himself <846> entered <1525> into <1519> the synagogue <4864>, and reasoned <1256> with the Jews <2453>.
  • 20 When they desired <2065> [him] to tarry <3306> longer <4119> time <5550> with them, he consented <1962> not;
  • 21 But bade <657> them farewell <657>, saying <2036>, I must <1163> by all <3843> means <3843> keep <4160> this <3588> feast <1859> that cometh <2064> in Jerusalem <2414>: but I will return <344> again <3825> unto you, if God <2316> will <2309>. And he sailed <321> from Ephesus <2181>.
  • 22 And when he had landed <2718> at <1519> Caesarea <2542>, and gone <305> up, and saluted <782> the church <1577>, he went <2597> down <2597> to Antioch <490>.
  • 23 And after he had spent <4160> some <5100> time <5550> [there], he departed <1831>, and went <1330> over <1330> [all] the country <5561> of Galatia <1054> and Phrygia <5435> in order <2517>, strengthening <1991> all <3956> the disciples <3101>.
  • 24. And a certain <5100> Jew <2453> named <3686> Apollos <625>, born <1085> at Alexandria <221>, an eloquent <3052> man <435>, [and] mighty <1415> in the scriptures <1124>, came <2658> to Ephesus <2181>.
  • 25 This <3778> man was instructed <2727> in the way <3598> of the Lord <2962>; and being fervent <2204> in the spirit <4151>, he spake <2980> and taught <1321> diligently <199> the things of the Lord <2962>, knowing <1987> only <3440> the baptism <908> of John <2491>.
  • 26 And he began <756> to speak boldly <3955> in the synagogue <4864>: whom <846> when Aquila <207> and Priscilla <4252> had heard <191>, they took <4355> him unto [them], and expounded <1620> unto him the way <3598> of God <2316> more <197> perfectly <197>.
  • 27 And when he was disposed <1014> to pass <1330> into <1519> Achaia <882>, the brethren <80> wrote <1125>, exhorting <4389> the disciples <3101> to receive <588> him: who <3739>, when he was come <3854>, helped <4820> them much <4183> which had believed <4100> through <1223> grace <5485>:
  • 28 For he mightily <2159> convinced <1246> the Jews <2453>, [and that] publickly <1219>, shewing <1925> by the scriptures <1124> that Jesus <2424> was Christ <5547>.
  • Acts 19
  • 1. And it came <1096> to pass, that, while <3588> Apollos <625> was at <1722> Corinth <2882>, Paul <3972> having passed <1330> through <1330> the upper <510> coasts <3313> came <2064> to Ephesus <2181>: and finding <2147> certain <5100> disciples <3101>,
  • 2 He said <2036> unto them, Have ye received <2983> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> since ye believed <4100>? And they said <2036> unto him, We have not so <3761> much <3761> as heard <191> whether <1487> there be any Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.
  • 3 And he said <2036> unto them, Unto what <5101> then <3767> were ye baptized <907>? And they said <2036>, Unto John's <2491> baptism <908>.
  • 4 Then <1161> said <2036> Paul <3972>, John <2491> verily <3303> baptized <907> with the baptism <908> of repentance <3341>, saying <3004> unto the people <2992>, that they should believe <4100> on <1519> him which should come <2064> after <3326> him, that is, on <1519> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
  • 5 When they heard <191> [this], they were baptized <907> in the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.
  • 6 And when Paul <3972> had laid <2007> [his] hands <5495> upon them, the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> came <2064> on <1909> them; and they spake <2980> with tongues <1100>, and prophesied <4395>.
  • 7 And all <3956> the men <435> were about <5616> twelve <1177>.
  • 8. And he went <1525> into <1519> the synagogue <4864>, and spake boldly <3955> for the space <1909> of three <5140> months <3376>, disputing <1256> and persuading <3982> the things concerning <4012> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
  • 9 But when <5613> divers <5100> were hardened <4645>, and believed <544> not, but spake <2551> evil of that way <3598> before <1799> the multitude <4128>, he departed <868> from them, and separated <873> the disciples <3101>, disputing <1256> daily <2250> in the school <4981> of one <5100> Tyrannus <5181>.
  • 10 And this <5124> continued <1096> by the space <1909> of two <1417> years <2094>; so <5620> that all <3956> they which dwelt <2730> in Asia <773> heard <191> the word <3056> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, both <5037> Jews <2453> and Greeks <1672>.
  • 11 And God <2316> wrought <4160> special <5177> miracles <1411> by the hands <5495> of Paul <3972>:
  • 12 So <5620> that from his body <5559> were brought <2018> unto the sick <770> handkerchiefs <4676> or <2228> aprons <4612>, and the diseases <3554> departed <525> from them, and the evil <4190> spirits <4151> went <1831> out of them.
  • 13. Then <1161> certain <5100> of the vagabond <4022> Jews <2453>, exorcists <1845>, took <2021> upon them to call <3687> over <1909> them which had <2192> evil <4190> spirits <4151> the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, saying <3004>, We adjure <3726> you by Jesus <2424> whom <3739> Paul <3972> preacheth <2784>.
  • 14 And there were seven <2033> sons <5207> of [one] Sceva <4630>, a Jew <2453>, [and] chief <749> of the priests <749>, which did <4160> so <5124>.
  • 15 And the evil <4190> spirit <4151> answered <611> and said <2036>, Jesus <2424> I know <1097>, and Paul <3972> I know <1987>; but who <5101> are ye?
  • 16 And the man <444> in whom <3739> the evil <4190> spirit <4151> was leaped <2177> on <1909> them, and overcame <2634> them, and prevailed <2480> against <2596> them, so <5620> that they fled <1628> out of that house <3624> naked <1131> and wounded <5135>.
  • 17 And this <5124> was known <1110> to all <3956> the Jews <2453> and Greeks <1672> also <2532> dwelling <2730> at Ephesus <2181>; and fear <5401> fell <1968> on <1909> them all <3956>, and the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> was magnified <3170>.
  • 18 And many <4183> that believed <4100> came <2064>, and confessed <1843>, and shewed <312> their deeds <4234>.
  • 19 Many <2425> of them also <1161> which used <4238> curious <4021> arts <4021> brought <4851> their books <976> together <4851>, and burned <2618> them before <1799> all <3956> [men]: and they counted <4860> the price <5092> of them, and found <2147> [it] fifty <3461> thousand <3461> [pieces] of silver <694>.
  • 20 So <3779> mightily <2904> grew <837> the word <3056> of God <2962> and prevailed <2480>.
  • 21. After <5613> these <5023> things were ended <4137>, Paul <3972> purposed <5087> in the spirit <4151>, when he had passed <1330> through <1330> Macedonia <3109> and Achaia <882>, to go <4198> to Jerusalem <2419>, saying <2036>, After <3326> I have been <1096> there <1563>, I must <1163> also <2532> see <1492> Rome <4516>.
  • 22 So he sent <649> into <1519> Macedonia <3109> two <1417> of them that ministered <1247> unto him, Timotheus <5095> and Erastus <2037>; but he himself <846> stayed <1907> in Asia <773> for a season <5550>.
  • 23 And the same <1565> time <2540> there arose <1096> no <3756> small <3641> stir <5017> about <4012> that way <3598>.
  • 24 For a certain <5100> [man] named <3686> Demetrius <1216>, a silversmith <695>, which made <4160> silver <693> shrines <3485> for Diana <735>, brought <3930> no <3756> small <3641> gain <2039> unto the craftsmen <5079>;
  • 25 Whom <3739> he called <4867> together <4867> with the workmen <2040> of like <5108> occupation, and said <2036>, Sirs <435>, ye know <1987> that by this <5026> craft <2039> we have <2076> our wealth <2142>.
  • 26 Moreover <2532> ye see <2334> and hear <191>, that not alone <3440> at Ephesus <2181>, but almost <4975> throughout all <3956> Asia <773>, this <3778> Paul <3972> hath persuaded <3982> and turned <3179> away <3179> much <2425> people <3793>, saying <3004> that they be no <3756> gods <2316>, which <3588> are made <1096> with hands <5495>:
  • 27 So that not only <3440> this <5124> our craft <3313> is in danger <2793> to be set <2064> at <1519> nought <557>; but also <2532> that the temple <2411> of the great <3173> goddess <2299> Diana <735> should be despised <3049>, and her magnificence <3168> should <3195> be destroyed <2507>, whom <3739> all <3650> Asia <773> and the world <3625> worshippeth <4576>.
  • 28 And when they heard <191> [these sayings], they were full <4134> of wrath <2372>, and cried <2896> out, saying <3004>, Great <3173> [is] Diana <735> of the Ephesians <2180>.
  • 29 And the whole <3650> city <4172> was filled <4130> with confusion <4799>: and having caught <4884> Gaius <1050> and Aristarchus <708>, men of Macedonia <3110>, Paul's <3972> companions <4898> in travel <4898>, they rushed <3729> with one <3661> accord <3661> into <1519> the theatre <2302>.
  • 30 And when Paul <3972> would have entered <1525> in unto the people <1218>, the disciples <3101> suffered <1439> him not.
  • 31 And certain <5100> of the chief <775> of Asia <775>, which were his friends <5384>, sent <3992> unto him, desiring <3870> [him] that he would not adventure <1325> himself <1438> into <1519> the theatre <2302>.
  • 32 Some <243> therefore <3767> cried <2896> one <3303> thing, and some <243> another <243>: for the assembly <1577> was confused <4797>; and the more <4119> part knew <1492> not wherefore <1752> they were come <4905> together <4897>.
  • 33 And they drew <4264> Alexander <223> out of the multitude <3793>, the Jews <2453> putting <4261> him forward <4261>. And Alexander <223> beckoned <2678> with the hand <5495>, and would <2309> have made <626> his defence <626> unto the people <1218>.
  • 34 But when they knew <1921> that he was a Jew <2453>, all <3956> with one <3391> voice <5456> about <5613> the space <1909> of two <1417> hours <5610> cried <2896> out, Great <3173> [is] Diana <735> of the Ephesians <2180>.
  • 35 And when the townclerk <1122> had appeased <2687> the people <3793>, he said <5346>, [Ye] men <435> of Ephesus <2181>, what <5101> man <444> is there that knoweth <1097> not how that the city <4172> of the Ephesians <2180> is a worshipper <3511> of the great <3173> goddess <2299> Diana <735>, and of the [image] which fell <1356> down from Jupiter <1356>?
  • 36 Seeing then <3767> that these <5130> things cannot <368> be spoken <369> against <368>, ye ought <1163> to be quiet <2687>, and to do <4160> nothing <3367> rashly <4312>.
  • 37 For ye have brought <71> hither these <5128> men <435>, which are neither <3777> robbers <2417> of churches <2417>, nor <3777> yet blasphemers <987> of your <5216> goddess <2299>.
  • 38 Wherefore <3767> if <1487> Demetrius <1216>, and the craftsmen <5079> which are with him, have <2192> a matter <3056> against <4314> any <5100> man, the law <60> is open <71>, and there are deputies <446>: let them implead <1458> one <240> another <240>.
  • 39 But if <1487> ye enquire <1934> any <5100> thing concerning <4012> other <2087> matters, it shall be determined <1956> in a lawful <1772> assembly <1577>.
  • 40 For we are in danger <2793> to be called <1458> in question <1458> for this <4594> day's <4594> uproar <4714>, there being <5225> no <3367> cause <158> whereby <3757> we may <1410> give <591> an account <3056> of this <5026> concourse <4963>.
  • 41 And when he had thus <5023> spoken <2036>, he dismissed <630> the assembly <1577>.
  • Acts 20
  • 1. And after <3326> the uproar <2351> was ceased <3973>, Paul <3972> called <4341> unto [him] the disciples <3101>, and embraced <782> [them], and departed <1831> for to go <4198> into <1519> Macedonia <3109>.
  • 2 And when he had gone <1330> over <1330> those <1565> parts <3313>, and had given them much <4183> exhortation <3870>, he came <2064> into <1519> Greece <1671>,
  • 3 And [there] abode <4160> three <5140> months <3376>. And when the Jews <2453> laid <1096> wait <1917> for him, as he was about <3195> to sail <321> into <1519> Syria <4947>, he purposed <1106> to return <5290> through <1223> Macedonia <3109>.
  • 4 And there accompanied <4902> him into Asia <773> Sopater <4986> of Berea <960>; and of the Thessalonians <2331>, Aristarchus <708> and Secundus <4580>; and Gaius <1050> of Derbe <1191>, and Timotheus <5095>; and of Asia <773>, Tychicus <5190> and Trophimus <5161>.
  • 5 These <3778> going <4281> before <4281> tarried <3306> for us at <1722> Troas <5174>.
  • 6 And we sailed <1602> away <1602> from Philippi <5375> after <3326> the days <2250> of unleavened <106> bread, and came <2064> unto them to Troas <5174> in five <4002> days <2250>; where <3757> we abode <1304> seven <2033> days <2250>.
  • 7. And upon the first <3391> [day] of the week <4521>, when the disciples <3101> came <4863> together <4863> to break <2806> bread <740>, Paul <3972> preached <1256> unto them, ready <3195> to depart <1826> on the morrow <1887>; and continued <3905> his speech <3056> until <3360> midnight <3317>.
  • 8 And there were many <2425> lights <2985> in the upper <5250> chamber <5253>, where <3757> they were gathered <4863> together <4863>.
  • 9 And there sat <2521> in a window <2376> a certain <5100> young <3494> man <3494> named <3686> Eutychus <2161>, being fallen <2702> into a deep <901> sleep <5258>: and as Paul <3972> was long <4119> preaching <1256>, he sunk <2702> down <2736> with sleep <5258>, and fell <4098> down from the third <5152> loft <5152>, and was taken <142> up dead <3498>.
  • 10 And Paul <3972> went <2597> down <2597>, and fell <1968> on <1968> him, and embracing <4843> [him] said <2036>, Trouble <2350> not yourselves; for his life <5590> is in him.
  • 11 When he therefore <3767> was come <305> up again, and had broken <2806> bread <740>, and eaten <1089>, and talked <3656> a long <2425> while, even till <891> break <827> of day <827>, so <3779> he departed <1831>.
  • 12 And they brought <71> the young <3816> man alive <2198>, and were not a little <3357> comforted <3870>.
  • 13. And we went <4281> before <4281> to ship <4143>, and sailed <321> unto Assos <789>, there <1564> intending <3195> to take <353> in Paul <3972>: for so <3779> had he appointed <1299>, minding <3195> himself <846> to go afoot <3978>.
  • 14 And when <5613> he met <4820> with us at <1519> Assos <789>, we took <353> him in, and came <2064> to Mitylene <3412>.
  • 15 And we sailed <636> thence <1564>, and came <2064> the next <1966> [day] over <481> against <481> Chios <5508>; and the next <2087> [day] we arrived <3846> at <1519> Samos <4544>, and tarried <3306> at <1722> Trogyllium <5175>; and the next <2192> [day] we came <2658> to Miletus <3399>.
  • 16 For Paul <3972> had determined <2919> to sail <3896> by Ephesus <2181>, because <3704> he would <1096> not spend <5551> the time <5551> in Asia <773>: for he hasted <4692>, if <1487> it were possible <1415> for him, to be at <1519> Jerusalem <2414> the day <2250> of Pentecost <4005>.
  • 17. And from Miletus <3399> he sent <3992> to Ephesus <2181>, and called <3333> the elders <4245> of the church <1577>.
  • 18 And when <5613> they were come <3854> to him, he said <2036> unto them, Ye know <1987>, from the first <4413> day <2250> that I came <1910> into <1519> Asia <773>, after <4459> what <4459> manner <4458> I have been <1096> with you at all <3956> seasons <5550>,
  • 19 Serving <1398> the Lord <2962> with all <3956> humility <5012> of mind, and with many <4183> tears <1144>, and temptations <3986>, which <3588> befell <4819> me by the lying in wait <1917> of the Jews <2453>:
  • 20 [And] how <5613> I kept <5288> back <5288> nothing <3762> that was profitable <4851> [unto you], but have shewed <312> you, and have taught <1321> you publickly <1219>, and from house <3624> to house <3624>,
  • 21 Testifying <1263> both <5037> to the Jews <2453>, and also <2532> to the Greeks <1672>, repentance <3341> toward <1519> God <2316>, and faith <4102> toward <1519> our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
  • 22 And now <3568>, behold <2400>, I go <4198> bound <1210> in the spirit <4151> unto Jerusalem <2419>, not knowing <1492> the things that shall befall <4876> me there <846>:
  • 23 Save <4133> that the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> witnesseth <1263> in every <2596> city <4172>, saying <3004> that bonds <1199> and afflictions <2347> abide <3306> me.
  • 24 But none <3762> of these things <3056> move <4160> me, neither <3761> count <2192> I my life <5590> dear <5093> unto myself <1683>, so <5613> that I might finish <5048> my course <1408> with joy <5479>, and the ministry <1248>, which <3739> I have received <2983> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, to testify <1263> the gospel <2098> of the grace <5485> of God <2316>.
  • 25 And now <3568>, behold <2400>, I know <1492> that ye all <3956>, among <1722> whom <3739> I have gone <1330> preaching <2784> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, shall see <3700> my face <4383> no <3765> more <3765>.
  • 26 Wherefore <1352> I take you to record <3143> this <4594> day <4594>, that I [am] pure <2513> from the blood <129> of all <3956> [men].
  • 27 For I have not shunned <5288> to declare <312> unto you all <3956> the counsel <1012> of God <2316>.
  • 28 Take heed <4337> therefore unto yourselves <1438>, and to all <3956> the flock <4168>, over <1722> the which <3739> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> hath made <5087> you overseers <1985>, to feed <4165> the church <1577> of God <2316>, which <3739> he hath purchased <4046> with his own <2398> blood <129>.
  • 29 For I know <1492> this <5124>, that after <3326> my departing <867> shall grievous <926> wolves <3074> enter <1525> in among <1519> you, not sparing <5339> the flock <4168>.
  • 30 Also <2532> of your <5216> own selves <846> shall men <435> arise <450>, speaking <2980> perverse <1294> things, to draw <645> away <645> disciples <3101> after <3694> them.
  • 31 Therefore <1352> watch <1127>, and remember <3421>, that by the space <4158> of three <5148> years <5148> I ceased <3973> not to warn <3560> every <1538> one <1520> night <3571> and day <2250> with tears <1144>.
  • 32 And now <3568>, brethren <80>, I commend <3908> you to God <2316>, and to the word <3056> of his grace <5485>, which <3588> is able <1410> to build <2026> you up, and to give <1325> you an inheritance <2817> among <1722> all <3956> them which are sanctified <37>.
  • 33 I have coveted <1937> no <3762> man's <3762> silver <694>, or <2228> gold <5553>, or <2228> apparel <2441>.
  • 34 Yea <1161>, ye yourselves <846> know <1097>, that these <3778> hands <5495> have ministered <5256> unto my necessities <5532>, and to them that were with me.
  • 35 I have shewed <5263> you all <3956> things, how that so <3779> labouring <2872> ye ought <1163> to support <482> the weak <770>, and to remember <3421> the words <3056> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, how <3754> he said <2036>, It is more <3122> blessed <3107> to give <1325> than to receive <2983>.
  • 36. And when he had thus <5023> spoken <2036>, he kneeled <1119> down, and prayed <4336> with them all <3956>.
  • 37 And they all <3956> wept <2805> sore <2425>, and fell <1968> on <1909> Paul's <3972> neck <5137>, and kissed <2705> him,
  • 38 Sorrowing <3600> most <3122> of all <3122> for the words <3056> which <3739> he spake <2046>, that they should <3195> see <2234> his face <4383> no <3765> more <3765>. And they accompanied <4311> him unto the ship <4143>.
  • Acts 21
  • 1. And it came <1096> to pass, that after <5613> we were gotten <645> from them, and had launched <321>, we came <2064> with a straight <2113> course <4144> unto Coos <2972>, and the [day] following <1836> unto Rhodes <4499>, and from thence <1564> unto Patara <3959>:
  • 2 And finding <2147> a ship <4143> sailing <1276> over <1276> unto Phenicia <5403>, we went <1910> aboard <1910>, and set <321> forth <321>.
  • 3 Now <1161> when we had discovered <398> Cyprus <2954>, we left <2641> it on the left <2176> hand, and sailed <4126> into <1519> Syria <4947>, and landed <2609> at <1519> Tyre <5184>: for there <1566> the ship <4143> was to unlade <670> her burden <1117>.
  • 4 And finding <429> disciples <3101>, we tarried <1961> there <847> seven <2033> days <2250>: who <3748> said <3004> to Paul <3972> through <1223> the Spirit <4151>, that he should not go <305> up to Jerusalem <2419>.
  • 5 And when <3753> we had accomplished <1822> those <3588> days <2250>, we departed <1831> and went <4198> our way <4311>; and they all <3956> brought <4311> us on <1909> our way <4311>, with wives <1135> and children <5043>, till <2193> [we were] out of the city <4172>: and we kneeled <1119> down on <1909> the shore <123>, and prayed <4336>.
  • 6 And when we had taken <782> our leave <782> one <240> of another <240>, we took <1519> ship <4143>; and they returned <5290> home <2398> again <5290>.
  • 7 And when we had finished <1274> [our] course <4144> from Tyre <5184>, we came <2658> to Ptolemais <4424>, and saluted <782> the brethren <80>, and abode <3306> with them one <3391> day <2250>.
  • 8. And the next <1887> [day] we that were of Paul's <3972> company <4012> departed <1831>, and came <2064> unto Caesarea <2542>: and we entered <1525> into <1519> the house <3624> of Philip <5376> the evangelist <2099>, which was [one] of the seven <2033>; and abode <3306> with him.
  • 9 And the same <5129> man had <1510> four <5064> daughters <2364>, virgins <3933>, which did prophesy <4395>.
  • 10 And as we tarried <1961> [there] many <4119> days <2250>, there came <2718> down <2718> from Judaea <2449> a certain <5100> prophet <4396>, named <3686> Agabus <13>.
  • 11 And when he was come <2064> unto us, he took <142> Paul's <3972> girdle <2223>, and bound <1210> his own <848> hands <5495> and feet <4228>, and said <2036>, Thus <3592> saith <3004> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, So <3779> shall the Jews <2453> at <1722> Jerusalem <2419> bind <1210> the man <435> that owneth <2076> this <3778> girdle <2223>, and shall deliver <3860> [him] into <1519> the hands <5495> of the Gentiles <1484>.
  • 12 And when <5613> we heard <191> these <5023> things, both <5037> we, and they of that place <1786>, besought <3870> him not to go <305> up to Jerusalem <2419>.
  • 13 Then <1161> Paul <3972> answered <611>, What <5101> mean <4160> ye to weep <2799> and to break <4919> mine <3450> heart <2588>? for I am ready <2093> not to be bound <1210> only <3440>, but also <2532> to die <599> at <1519> Jerusalem <2419> for the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.
  • 14 And when he would not be persuaded <3982>, we ceased <2270>, saying <2036>, The will <2307> of the Lord <2962> be done <1096>.
  • 15. And after <3326> those <5025> days <2250> we took <643> up our carriages <643>, and went <305> up to Jerusalem <2419>.
  • 16 There went <4905> with us also <2532> [certain] of the disciples <3101> of Caesarea <2542>, and brought <71> with them one <5100> Mnason <3416> of Cyprus <2954>, an old <744> disciple <3101>, with whom <3739> we should lodge <3579>.
  • 17 And when we were come <1096> to Jerusalem <2414>, the brethren <80> received <1209> us gladly <780>.
  • 18 And the [day] following <1966> Paul <3972> went <1524> in with us unto James <2385>; and all <3956> the elders <4245> were present <3854>.
  • 19 And when he had saluted <782> them, he declared <1834> particularly <2596> what <3739> things God <2316> had wrought <4160> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484> by his ministry <1248>.
  • 20 And when they heard <191> [it], they glorified <1392> the Lord <2962>, and said <2036> unto him, Thou seest <2334>, brother <80>, how <4214> many <4214> thousands <3461> of Jews <2453> there are which <3588> believe <4100>; and they are all <3956> zealous <2207> of the law <3551>:
  • 21 And they are informed <2727> of thee, that thou teachest <1321> all <3956> the Jews <2453> which are among <2596> the Gentiles <1484> to forsake <575> Moses <3475>, saying <3004> that they ought not to circumcise <4059> [their] children <5043>, neither <3366> to walk <4043> after the customs <1485>.
  • 22 What <5101> is it therefore <3767>? the multitude <4128> must <1163> needs <3843> come <4905> together <4905>: for they will hear <191> that thou art come <2064>.
  • 23 Do <4160> therefore <3767> this <5124> that we say <3004> to thee: We have <1526> four <5064> men <435> which have <2192> a vow <2171> on <1909> them;
  • 24 Them take <3880>, and purify <48> thyself with them, and be at <1159> charges <1159> with them, that they may shave <3587> [their] heads <2776>: and all <3956> may know <1097> that those things, whereof they were informed <2727> concerning <4012> thee, are nothing <3762>; but [that] thou thyself <846> also <2532> walkest <4748> orderly <4748>, and keepest <5442> the law <3551>.
  • 25 As touching <4012> the Gentiles <1484> which believe <4100>, we have written <1989> [and] concluded <2919> that they observe <5083> no <3367> such <5108> thing, save <1508> only that they keep <5442> themselves from [things] offered <1494> to idols <1494>, and from blood <129>, and from strangled <4156>, and from fornication <4202>.
  • 26 Then <5119> Paul <3972> took <3880> the men <435>, and the next <2192> day <2250> purifying <48> himself with them entered <1524> into <1519> the temple <2411>, to signify <1229> the accomplishment <1604> of the days <2250> of purification <49>, until <2193> that an offering <4376> should be offered <4374> for every <1538> one <1520> of them.
  • 27. And when <5613> the seven <2033> days <2250> were almost <3195> ended <4931>, the Jews <2453> which were of Asia <773>, when they saw <2300> him in the temple <2411>, stirred <4797> up all <3956> the people <3793>, and laid <1911> hands <5495> on <1909> him,
  • 28 Crying <2896> out, Men <435> of Israel <2475>, help <997>: This <3778> is the man <444>, that teacheth <1321> all <3956> [men] every <3837> where <3837> against <2596> the people <2992>, and the law <3551>, and this <5126> place <5117>: and further <2089> brought <1521> Greeks <1672> also <2532> into <1519> the temple <2411>, and hath polluted <2840> this <5127> holy <40> place <5117>.
  • 29 (For they had seen <4308> before <4308> with him in the city <4172> Trophimus <5161> an Ephesian <2180>, whom <3739> they supposed <3543> that Paul <3972> had brought <1521> into <1519> the temple <2411>.)
  • 30 And all <3650> the city <4172> was moved <2795>, and the people <2992> ran <4890> together <4890>: and they took <1949> Paul <3972>, and drew <1670> him out of the temple <2411>: and forthwith <2112> the doors <2374> were shut <2808>.
  • 31 And as they went <2212> about <2212> to kill <615> him, tidings <5334> came <305> unto the chief <5506> captain <5506> of the band <4686>, that all <3650> Jerusalem <2419> was in an uproar <4797>.
  • 32 Who <3739> immediately <1824> took <3880> soldiers <4757> and centurions <1543>, and ran <2701> down <2701> unto them: and when they saw <1492> the chief <5506> captain <5506> and the soldiers <4757>, they left <3973> beating <5180> of Paul <3972>.
  • 33 Then <5119> the chief <5506> captain <5506> came <1448> near <1448>, and took <1949> him, and commanded <2753> [him] to be bound <1210> with two <1417> chains <254>; and demanded <4441> who <5101> he was, and what <5101> he had done <4160>.
  • 34 And some <243> cried <994> one thing, some <243> another <243>, among <1722> the multitude <3793>: and when he could <1410> not know <1097> the certainty <804> for the tumult <2351>, he commanded <2753> him to be carried <71> into <1519> the castle <3925>.
  • 35 And when <3753> he came <1096> upon the stairs <304>, so <4819> it was, that he was borne <941> of the soldiers <4757> for the violence <970> of the people <3793>.
  • 36 For the multitude <4128> of the people <2992> followed <190> after, crying <2896>, Away <142> with him.
  • 37 And as Paul <3972> was to be led <1521> into <1519> the castle <3925>, he said <3004> unto the chief <5506> captain <5506>, May <1832> I speak <2036> unto thee? Who <3588> said <5346>, Canst <1097> thou speak <1097> Greek <1676>?
  • 38 Art <1488> not thou that Egyptian <124>, which before <4253> these <5130> days <2250> madest <387> an uproar <387>, and leddest <1806> out into <1519> the wilderness <2048> four <5070> thousand <5070> men <435> that were murderers <4607>?
  • 39 But Paul <3972> said <2036>, I am <1510> a man <444> [which am] a Jew <2453> of Tarsus <5018>, [a city] in Cilicia <2791>, a citizen <4177> of no <3756> mean <767> city <4172>: and, I beseech <1189> thee, suffer <2010> me to speak <2980> unto the people <2992>.
  • 40 And when he had given him licence <2010>, Paul <3972> stood <2476> on <1909> the stairs <304>, and beckoned <2678> with the hand <5495> unto the people <2992>. And when there was made <1096> a great <4183> silence <4602>, he spake <4377> unto [them] in the Hebrew <1446> tongue <1258>, saying <3004>,
  • Acts 22
  • 1. Men <435>, brethren <80>, and fathers <3962>, hear <191> ye my defence <627> [which I make] now <3568> unto you.
  • 2 (And when they heard <191> that he spake <4377> in the Hebrew <1446> tongue <1258> to them, they kept <3930> the more <3123> silence <2271>: and he saith <5346>,)
  • 3. I am <1510> verily <3303> a man <435> [which am] a Jew <2453>, born <1080> in Tarsus <5019>, [a city] in Cilicia <2791>, yet brought <397> up in this <5026> city <4172> at <3844> the feet <4228> of Gamaliel <1059>, [and] taught <3811> according <2596> to the perfect <195> manner <195> of the law <3551> of the fathers <3971>, and was zealous <2207> toward God <2316>, as ye all <3956> are this <4594> day <4594>.
  • 4 And I persecuted <1377> this <5026> way <3598> unto the death <2288>, binding <1195> and delivering <3860> into <1519> prisons <5438> both <5037> men <435> and women <1135>.
  • 5 As also <2532> the high <749> priest <749> doth bear <3140> me witness <3140>, and all <3956> the estate of the elders <4244>: from whom <3739> also <2532> I received <1209> letters <1992> unto the brethren <80>, and went <4198> to Damascus <1154>, to bring <71> them which were there <1566> bound <1210> unto Jerusalem <2419>, for to be punished <5097>.
  • 6 And it came <1096> to pass, that, as I made <4198> my journey <4198>, and was come <1448> nigh <1448> unto Damascus <1154> about <4012> noon <3314>, suddenly <1810> there shone <4015> from heaven <3772> a great <2425> light <5457> round <4015> about <4012> me.
  • 7 And I fell <4098> unto the ground <1475>, and heard <191> a voice <5456> saying <3004> unto me, Saul <4569>, Saul <4569>, why <5101> persecutest <1377> thou me?
  • 8 And I answered <611>, Who <5101> art <1488> thou, Lord <2962>? And he said <2036> unto me, I am <1510> Jesus <2424> of Nazareth <3478>, whom <3739> thou persecutest <1377>.
  • 9 And they that were with me saw <2300> indeed <3303> the light <5457>, and were afraid <1719>; but they heard <191> not the voice <5456> of him that spake <2980> to me.
  • 10 And I said <2036>, What <5101> shall I do <4160>, Lord <2962>? And the Lord <2962> said <2036> unto me, Arise <450>, and go <4198> into <1519> Damascus <1154>; and there <1563> it shall be told <2980> thee of all <3956> things which <3739> are appointed <5021> for thee to do <4160>.
  • 11 And when <5613> I could not see <1689> for the glory <1391> of that light <5457>, being led <5496> by the hand <5496> of them that were with me, I came <2064> into <1519> Damascus <1154>.
  • 12 And one <5100> Ananias <367>, a devout <2152> man <435> according <2596> to the law <3551>, having a good report <3140> of all <3956> the Jews <2453> which dwelt <2730> [there],
  • 13 Came <2064> unto me, and stood <2186>, and said <2036> unto me, Brother <80> Saul <4569>, receive <308> thy sight <308>. And the same <846> hour <5610> I looked <308> up upon him.
  • 14 And he said <2036>, The God <2316> of our fathers <3962> hath chosen <4400> thee, that thou shouldest know <1097> his will <2307>, and see <1492> that Just <1342> One, and shouldest hear <191> the voice <5456> of his mouth <4750>.
  • 15 For thou shalt be his witness <3144> unto all <3956> men <444> of what <3739> thou hast seen <3708> and heard <191>.
  • 16 And now <3568> why <5101> tarriest <3195> thou? arise <450>, and be baptized <907>, and wash <628> away <628> thy sins <266>, calling <1941> on <1941> the name <3686> of the Lord <2962>.
  • 17 And it came <1096> to pass, that, when I was come <5290> again <5290> to Jerusalem <2419>, even while I prayed <4336> in the temple <2411>, I was in a trance <1611>;
  • 18 And saw <1492> him saying <3004> unto me, Make <4692> haste <4692>, and get <1831> thee quickly <5034> out of Jerusalem <2419>: for they will not receive <3858> thy testimony <3141> concerning <4012> me.
  • 19 And I said <2036>, Lord <2962>, they know <1987> that I imprisoned <5439> and beat <1194> in every <2596> synagogue <4864> them that believed <4100> on <1909> thee:
  • 20 And when <3753> the blood <129> of thy martyr <3144> Stephen <4736> was shed <1632>, I also <2532> was standing <2186> by, and consenting <4909> unto his death <336>, and kept <5442> the raiment <2440> of them that slew <337> him.
  • 21 And he said <2036> unto me, Depart <4198>: for I will send <1821> thee far <3112> hence <1821> unto the Gentiles <1484>.
  • 22. And they gave him audience <191> unto this <5127> word <3056>, and [then] lifted <1869> up their voices <5456>, and said <3004>, Away <142> with such <5108> a [fellow] from the earth <1093>: for it is not fit <2520> that he should live <2198>.
  • 23 And as they cried <2905> out, and cast <4496> off <4496> [their] clothes <2440>, and threw <906> dust <2868> into <1519> the air <109>,
  • 24 The chief <5506> captain <5506> commanded <2753> him to be brought <71> into <1519> the castle <3925>, and bade <2036> that he should be examined <426> by scourging <3148>; that he might know <1921> wherefore <3739> they cried <2019> so <3779> against <2019> him.
  • 25 And as they bound <4385> him with thongs <2438>, Paul <3972> said <2036> unto the centurion <1543> that stood <2476> by, Is it lawful <1832> for you to scourge <3147> a man <444> that is a Roman <4514>, and uncondemned <178>?
  • 26 When the centurion <1543> heard <191> [that], he went <4334> and told <518> the chief <5506> captain <5506>, saying <3004>, Take heed <3708> what <5101> thou doest <4160>: for this <3778> man <444> is a Roman <4514>.
  • 27 Then <1161> the chief <5506> captain <5506> came <4334>, and said <2036> unto him, Tell <3004> me, art <1488> thou a Roman <4514>? He said <5346>, Yea <3483>.
  • 28 And the chief <5506> captain <5506> answered <611>, With a great <4183> sum <2774> obtained <2932> I this <5026> freedom <4174>. And Paul <3972> said <5346>, But I was [free] born <1080>.
  • 29 Then <3767> straightway <2112> they departed <868> from him which <3588> should <3195> have examined <426> him: and the chief <5506> captain <5506> also <2532> was afraid <5399>, after he knew <1921> that he was a Roman <4514>, and because <3754> he had bound <1210> him.
  • 30 On the morrow <1887>, because he would have known <1097> the certainty <804> wherefore <5101> he was accused <2723> of the Jews <2453>, he loosed <3089> him from [his] bands <1199>, and commanded <2753> the chief <749> priests <749> and all <3650> their council <4892> to appear <2064>, and brought <2609> Paul <3972> down <2609>, and set <2476> him before <1519> them.
  • Acts 23
  • 1. And Paul <3972>, earnestly <816> beholding <816> the council <4892>, said <2036>, Men <435> [and] brethren <80>, I have lived <4176> in all <3956> good <18> conscience <4893> before God <2316> until <891> this <5026> day <2250>.
  • 2 And the high <749> priest <749> Ananias <367> commanded <2004> them that stood <3936> by him to smite <5180> him on the mouth <4750>.
  • 3 Then <5119> said <2036> Paul <3972> unto him, God <2316> shall smite <5180> thee, [thou] whited <2867> wall <5109>: for sittest <2521> thou to judge <2919> me after <2596> the law <3551>, and commandest <2753> me to be smitten <5180> contrary <3891> to the law <3891>?
  • 4 And they that stood <3936> by said <2036>, Revilest <3058> thou God's <2316> high <749> priest <749>?
  • 5 Then <5037> said <5346> Paul <3972>, I wist <1492> not, brethren <80>, that he was the high <749> priest <749>: for it is written <1125>, Thou shalt not speak <2046> evil <2560> of the ruler <758> of thy people <2992>.
  • 6. But when Paul <3972> perceived <1097> that the one <1520> part <3313> were Sadducees <4523>, and the other <2087> Pharisees <5330>, he cried <2896> out in the council <4892>, Men <435> [and] brethren <80>, I am <1510> a Pharisee <5330>, the son <5207> of a Pharisee <5330>: of the hope <1680> and resurrection <386> of the dead <3498> I am called <2919> in question <2919>.
  • 7 And when he had so <5124> said <2980>, there arose <1096> a dissension <4714> between the Pharisees <5330> and the Sadducees <4523>: and the multitude <4128> was divided <4977>.
  • 8 For the Sadducees <4523> say <3004> that there is no <3361> resurrection <386>, neither <3366> angel <32>, nor <3383> spirit <4151>: but the Pharisees <5330> confess <3670> both <297>.
  • 9 And there arose <1096> a great <3173> cry <2906>: and the scribes <1122> [that were] of the Pharisees <5330>' part <3313> arose <450>, and strove <1264>, saying <3004>, We find <2147> no <3762> evil <2556> in this <5129> man <444>: but if <1487> a spirit <4151> or <2228> an angel <32> hath spoken <2980> to him, let us not fight <2313> against God <2313>.
  • 10 And when there arose <1096> a great <4183> dissension <4714>, the chief <5506> captain <5506>, fearing <2125> lest <3361> Paul <3972> should have been pulled <1288> in pieces <1288> of them, commanded <2753> the soldiers <4753> to go <2597> down <2597>, and to take <726> him by force <726> from among <3319> them, and to bring <71> [him] into <1519> the castle <3925>.
  • 11 And the night <3571> following the Lord <2962> stood <2186> by him, and said <2036>, Be of good cheer <2293>, Paul <3972>: for as thou hast testified <1263> of me in Jerusalem <2419>, so <3779> must <1163> thou bear <3140> witness <3140> also <2532> at <1519> Rome <4516>.
  • 12. And when it was day <2250>, certain <5100> of the Jews <2453> banded <4963> together <4966>, and bound <332> themselves <1438> under <332> a curse <332>, saying <3004> that they would neither <3383> eat <5315> nor drink <4095> till <2193> they had killed <615> Paul <3972>.
  • 13 And they were more <4119> than forty <5062> which <3588> had made <4160> this <5026> conspiracy <4945>.
  • 14 And they came <4334> to the chief <749> priests <749> and elders <4245>, and said <2036>, We have bound <332> ourselves <1438> under <332> a great curse <332>, that we will eat <1089> nothing <3367> until <2193> we have slain <615> Paul <3972>.
  • 15 Now <3568> therefore <3767> ye with the council <4892> signify <1718> to the chief <5506> captain <5506> that he bring <2609> him down <2609> unto you to morrow <839>, as though ye would <3195> enquire <1231> something more <197> perfectly <197> concerning <4012> him: and we, or <4253> ever <4253> he come <1448> near <1448>, are ready <2092> to kill <337> him.
  • 16 And when Paul's <3972> sister's <79> son <5207> heard <191> of their lying in wait <1747>, he went <3854> and entered <1525> into <1519> the castle <3925>, and told <518> Paul <3972>.
  • 17 Then <1161> Paul <3972> called <4341> one <1520> of the centurions <1543> unto [him], and said <5346>, Bring <520> this <5126> young <3494> man <3494> unto the chief <5506> captain <5506>: for he hath <2192> a certain <5100> thing to tell <518> him.
  • 18 So <3767> he took <3880> him, and brought <71> [him] to the chief <5506> captain <5506>, and said <5346>, Paul <3972> the prisoner <1198> called <4341> me unto [him], and prayed <2065> me to bring <71> this <5126> young <3494> man <3494> unto thee, who hath <2192> something <5100> to say <2980> unto thee.
  • 19 Then <1161> the chief <5506> captain <5506> took <1949> him by the hand <5495>, and went <402> [with him] aside <402> privately <2398>, and asked <2065> [him], What <5101> is that thou hast <2192> to tell <518> me?
  • 20 And he said <2036>, The Jews <2453> have agreed <4934> to desire <2065> thee that thou wouldest bring <2609> down <2609> Paul <3972> to morrow <839> into <1519> the council <4892>, as though they would <3195> enquire <4441> somewhat <5100> of him more <197> perfectly <197>.
  • 21 But do not thou yield <3982> unto them: for there lie in wait <1748> for him of them more <4119> than forty <5062> men <435>, which <3748> have bound <332> themselves <1438> with an oath <332>, that they will neither <3383> eat <5315> nor drink <4095> till <2193> they have killed <337> him: and now <3568> are they ready <2092>, looking <4327> for a promise <1860> from thee.
  • 22 So <3767> the chief <5506> captain <5506> [then] let <630> the young <3494> man <3494> depart <630>, and charged <3853> [him, See thou] tell <1583> no <3367> man <3367> that thou hast shewed <1718> these <5023> things to me.
  • 23 And he called <4341> unto [him] two <1417> centurions <1543>, saying <2036>, Make <2090> ready <2090> two <1250> hundred <1250> soldiers <4757> to go <4198> to Caesarea <2542>, and horsemen <2460> threescore <1440> and ten, and spearmen <1187> two <1250> hundred <1250>, at <575> the third <5154> hour <5610> of the night <3571>;
  • 24 And provide <3936> [them] beasts <2934>, that they may set <1913> Paul <3972> on <1913>, and bring <1295> [him] safe <1295> unto Felix <5344> the governor <2232>.
  • 25 And he wrote <1125> a letter <1992> after <4023> this <5126> manner <5179>:
  • 26 Claudius <2804> Lysias <3079> unto the most <2903> excellent <2903> governor <2232> Felix <5344> [sendeth] greeting <5463>.
  • 27 This <5126> man <435> was taken <4815> of the Jews <2453>, and should <3195> have been killed <615> of them: then came <2186> I with an army <4753>, and rescued <1807> him, having understood <3129> that he was a Roman <4514>.
  • 28 And when I would have known <1097> the cause <156> wherefore <3739> they accused <1458> him, I brought <2609> him forth <2609> into <1519> their council <4892>:
  • 29 Whom <3739> I perceived <2147> to be accused <1458> of questions <2213> of their law <3551>, but to have <2192> nothing <3367> laid <1462> to his charge <1462> worthy <514> of death <336> or <2228> of bonds <1199>.
  • 30 And when it was told <3377> me how that the Jews <2453> laid <2071> wait <1917> for the man <435>, I sent <3992> straightway <1824> to thee, and gave commandment <3853> to his accusers <2725> also <2532> to say <3004> before <1909> thee what <3588> [they had] against <4314> him. Farewell <4517>.
  • 31 Then <3767> the soldiers <4757>, as it was commanded <1299> them, took <353> Paul <3972>, and brought <71> [him] by night <3571> to Antipatris <494>.
  • 32 On the morrow <1887> they left <1439> the horsemen <2460> to go <4198> with him, and returned <5290> to the castle <3925>:
  • 33 Who <3748>, when they came <1525> to Caesarea <2542>, and delivered <325> the epistle <1992> to the governor <2232>, presented <3936> Paul <3972> also <2532> before him.
  • 34 And when the governor <2232> had read <314> [the letter], he asked <1905> of what <4169> province <1885> he was. And when he understood <4441> that [he was] of Cilicia <2791>;
  • 35 I will hear <1251> thee, said <5346> he, when <3752> thine <4675> accusers <2725> are also <2532> come <3854>. And he commanded <2753> him to be kept <5442> in Herod's <2264> judgment <4232> hall <4232>.
  • Acts 24
  • 1. And after <3326> five <4002> days <2250> Ananias <367> the high <749> priest <749> descended <2597> with the elders <4245>, and [with] a certain <5100> orator <4489> [named] Tertullus <5061>, who <3748> informed <1718> the governor <2232> against <2596> Paul <3972>.
  • 2 And when he was called <2564> forth <2564>, Tertullus <5061> began <756> to accuse <2723> [him], saying <3004>, Seeing that by thee we enjoy <5177> great <4183> quietness <1515>, and that very <2735> worthy <2735> deeds <2735> are done <1096> unto this <5129> nation <1484> by thy providence <4307>,
  • 3 We accept <588> [it] always <3839>, and in all <3837> places <3837>, most <2903> noble <2903> Felix <5344>, with all <3956> thankfulness <2169>.
  • 4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further <4208> tedious <1465> unto thee, I pray <3870> thee that thou wouldest hear <191> us of thy clemency <1932> a few <4935> words.
  • 5 For we have found <2147> this <5126> man <435> [a] pestilent <3061> [fellow], and a mover <2795> of sedition <4714> among all <3956> the Jews <2453> throughout <2596> the world <3625>, and a ringleader <4414> of the sect <139> of the Nazarenes <3480>:
  • 6 Who <3739> also <2532> hath gone <3985> about <3985> to profane <953> the temple <2411>: whom <3739> we took <2902>, and would <2309> have judged <2919> according <2596> to our law <3551>.
  • 7 But the chief <5506> captain <5506> Lysias <3079> came <3928> [upon us], and with great <4183> violence <970> took <520> [him] away <520> out of our hands <5495>,
  • 8 Commanding <2753> his accusers <2725> to come <2064> unto thee: by examining <350> of whom <3739> thyself <846> mayest take knowledge <1921> of all <3956> these <5130> things, whereof <3739> we accuse <2723> him.
  • 9 And the Jews <2453> also <2532> assented <4934>, saying <5335> that these <5023> things were so <3779>.
  • 10. Then <1161> Paul <3972>, after that the governor <2232> had beckoned <3506> unto him to speak <3004>, answered <611>, Forasmuch as I know <1987> that thou hast been <5607> of many <4183> years <2094> a judge <2923> unto this <5129> nation <1484>, I do the more <2115> cheerfully <2115> answer <626> for myself <1683>:
  • 11 Because that thou mayest understand <1097>, that there are yet but twelve <1177> days <2250> since <3739> I went <305> up to Jerusalem <2419> for to worship <4352>.
  • 12 And they neither <3777> found <2147> me in the temple <2411> disputing <1256> with any <5100> man, neither <2228> raising <1999> up the people <3793>, neither <2228> in the synagogues <4864>, nor <3777> in the city <4172>:
  • 13 Neither <2228> can <1410> they prove <3936> the things whereof <3739> they now <3568> accuse <2723> me.
  • 14 But this <5124> I confess <3670> unto thee, that after <2596> the way <3598> which <3739> they call <3004> heresy <139>, so <3779> worship <3000> I the God <2316> of my fathers <3971>, believing <4100> all <3956> things which <3588> are written <1125> in the law <3551> and in the prophets <4396>:
  • 15 And have <2192> hope <1680> toward <1519> God <2316>, which <3739> they themselves <846> also <2532> allow <4327>, that there shall be a resurrection <386> of the dead <3498>, both <5037> of the just <1342> and unjust <94>.
  • 16 And herein <5129> do I exercise <778> myself, to have <2192> always <1275> a conscience <4893> void <677> of offence <677> toward <4314> God <2316>, and [toward] men <444>.
  • 17 Now <1161> after <1223> many <4119> years <2094> I came <3854> to bring <4160> alms <1654> to my nation <1484>, and offerings <4376>.
  • 18 Whereupon <3739> certain <5100> Jews <2453> from Asia <773> found <2147> me purified <48> in the temple <2411>, neither <3756> with multitude <3793>, nor <3761> with tumult <2351>.
  • 19 Who <3739> ought <1163> to have been <3918> here <3918> before <1909> thee, and object <2723>, if <1487> they had <2192> ought <5100> against <4314> me.
  • 20 Or <2228> else let these <3778> same <3778> [here] say <2036>, if <1487> they have found <2147> any <1536> evil <92> doing <92> in me, while I stood <2476> before <1909> the council <4892>,
  • 21 Except <2228> it be for this <5026> one <3391> voice <5456>, that I cried <2896> standing <2476> among <1722> them, Touching <4012> the resurrection <386> of the dead <3498> I am called <2919> in question <2919> by you this <4594> day <4594>.
  • 22. And when Felix <5344> heard <191> these <5023> things, having more <197> perfect <197> knowledge <1492> of [that] way <3598>, he deferred <306> them, and said <2036>, When <3752> Lysias <3079> the chief <5506> captain <5506> shall come <2597> down <2597>, I will know <1231> the uttermost <2556> of your <5209> matter <2596>.
  • 23 And he commanded <1299> a centurion <1543> to keep <5083> Paul <3972>, and to let [him] have <2192> liberty <425>, and that he should forbid <2967> none <3367> of his acquaintance <2398> to minister <5256> or <2228> come <4334> unto him.
  • 24 And after <3326> certain <5100> days <2250>, when Felix <5344> came <3854> with his wife <1135> Drusilla <1409>, which was a Jewess <2453>, he sent <3343> for Paul <3972>, and heard <191> him concerning <4012> the faith <4102> in Christ <5547>.
  • 25 And as he reasoned <1256> of righteousness <1343>, temperance <1466>, and judgment <2917> to come <1511>, Felix <5344> trembled <1096>, and answered <611>, Go <4198> thy way for this <3568> time <3568>; when I have <3335> a convenient <2540> season <2540>, I will call <3333> for thee.
  • 26 He hoped <1679> also <2532> that money <5536> should have been given <1325> him of Paul <3972>, that he might loose <3089> him: wherefore <1352> he sent <3343> for him the oftener <4437>, and communed <3656> with him.
  • 27 But after <4137> two <1333> years <1333> Porcius <4201> Festus <5347> came <1240> into Felix <5344>' room <1240>: and Felix <5344>, willing <2309> to shew <2698> the Jews <2453> a pleasure <5485>, left <2641> Paul <3972> bound <1210>.
  • Acts 25
  • 1. Now <3767> when Festus <5347> was come <1910> into the province <1885>, after <3326> three <5140> days <2250> he ascended <305> from Caesarea <2542> to Jerusalem <2414>.
  • 2 Then <1161> the high <749> priest <749> and the chief <4413> of the Jews <2453> informed <1718> him against <2596> Paul <3972>, and besought <3870> him,
  • 3 And desired <154> favour <5485> against <2596> him, that he would send <3343> for him to Jerusalem <2419>, laying <4160> wait <1747> in the way <3598> to kill <337> him.
  • 4 But Festus <5347> answered <611>, that Paul <3972> should be kept <5083> at <1722> Caesarea <2542>, and that he himself <1438> would <3195> depart <1607> shortly <5034> [thither].
  • 5 Let them therefore <3767>, said <5346> he, which among <1722> you are able <1415>, go <4782> down <4782> with [me], and accuse <2723> this <846> man <435>, if <1487> there be any <1536> wickedness <824> in him.
  • 6 And when he had tarried <1304> among <1722> them more <4119> than <2228> ten <1176> days <2250>, he went <2597> down <2597> unto Caesarea <2542>; and the next <1887> day <1887> sitting <2523> on <1909> the judgment <968> seat <968> commanded <2753> Paul <3972> to be brought <71>.
  • 7 And when he was come <3854>, the Jews <2453> which came <2597> down <2597> from Jerusalem <2414> stood <4026> round <4026> about <3936>, and laid <5342> many <4183> and grievous <926> complaints <157> against <2596> Paul <3972>, which <3588> they could <2480> not prove <584>.
  • 8 While he answered <626> for himself, Neither <3777> against <1519> the law <3551> of the Jews <2453>, neither <3777> against <1519> the temple <2411>, nor <3777> yet against <1519> Caesar <2541>, have I offended <264> any <5100> thing at all.
  • 9 But Festus <5347>, willing <2309> to do <2698> the Jews <2453> a pleasure <5485>, answered <611> Paul <3972>, and said <2036>, Wilt thou go <305> up to Jerusalem <2414>, and there <1563> be judged <2919> of these <5130> things before <1909> me?
  • 10 Then <1161> said <2036> Paul <3972>, I stand <2476> at <1909> Caesar's <2541> judgment <968> seat <968>, where <3757> I ought <1163> to be judged <2919>: to the Jews <2453> have I done <91> no <3762> wrong <91>, as thou very <2566> well <2573> knowest <1921>.
  • 11 For if <1487> I be an offender <91>, or <2532> have committed <4238> any <5100> thing worthy <514> of death <336>, I refuse <3868> not to die <599>: but if <1487> there be none <3762> of these things whereof <3739> these <3778> accuse <2723> me, no <3762> man <3762> may <1410> deliver <5483> me unto them. I appeal <1941> unto Caesar <2541>.
  • 12 Then <5119> Festus <5347>, when he had conferred <4814> with the council <4824>, answered <611>, Hast thou appealed <1941> unto Caesar <2541>? unto Caesar <2541> shalt thou go <4198>.
  • 13. And after <1230> certain <5100> days <2250> king <935> Agrippa <67> and Bernice <959> came <2658> unto Caesarea <2542> to salute <782> Festus <5347>.
  • 14 And when <5613> they had been <1304> there <1563> many <4119> days <2250>, Festus <5347> declared <394> Paul's <3972> cause <2596> unto the king <935>, saying <3004>, There is a certain <5100> man <435> left <2641> in bonds <1198> by Felix <5344>:
  • 15 About <4012> whom <3739>, when I was at <1519> Jerusalem <2414>, the chief <749> priests <749> and the elders <4245> of the Jews <2453> informed <1718> [me], desiring <154> [to have] judgment <1349> against <2596> him.
  • 16 To whom <3739> I answered <611>, It is not the manner <1485> of the Romans <4514> to deliver <5483> any <5100> man <444> to die <684>, before <4250> that he which is accused <2723> have <2192> the accusers <2725> face <4383> to face <4383>, and have <2983> licence <5117> to answer <627> for himself concerning <4012> the crime <1462> laid <1462> against him.
  • 17 Therefore <3767>, when they were come <4905> hither <1759>, without <4160> any <3362> delay <311> on <1909> the morrow <1836> I sat <2523> on <1909> the judgment <968> seat <968>, and commanded <2753> the man <435> to be brought <71> forth.
  • 18 Against <4012> whom <3739> when the accusers <2725> stood <2476> up, they brought <2018> none <3762> accusation <156> of such things as I supposed <5282>:
  • 19 But had <2192> certain <5100> questions <2213> against <4314> him of their own <2398> superstition <1175>, and of one <5100> Jesus <2424>, which was dead <2348>, whom <3739> Paul <3972> affirmed <5335> to be alive <2198>.
  • 20 And because I doubted <639> of such manner <4012> of questions <2214>, I asked <3004> [him] whether <1487> he would go <4198> to Jerusalem <2419>, and there <1563> be judged <2919> of these <5130> matters.
  • 21 But when Paul <3972> had appealed <1941> to be reserved <5083> unto the hearing <1233> of Augustus <828>, I commanded <2753> him to be kept <5083> till <2193> I might send <3992> him to Caesar <2541>.
  • 22 Then <1161> Agrippa <67> said <5346> unto Festus <5347>, I would also <2532> hear <191> the man <444> myself. To morrow <839>, said <5346> he, thou shalt hear <191> him.
  • 23 And on the morrow <1887>, when Agrippa <67> was come <2064>, and Bernice <959>, with great <4183> pomp <5325>, and was entered <1525> into <1519> the place <201> of hearing <201>, with the chief <5506> captains <5506>, and principal <1851> men <435> of the city <4172>, at Festus <5347>' commandment <2753> Paul <3972> was brought <71> forth.
  • 24 And Festus <5347> said <5346>, King <935> Agrippa <67>, and all <3956> men <435> which <3588> are here <4840> present <4840> with us, ye see <2334> this <5126> man, about <4012> whom <3739> all <3956> the multitude <4128> of the Jews <2453> have dealt <1793> with me, both <5037> at <1722> Jerusalem <2414>, and [also] here <1759>, crying <1916> that he ought <1163> not to live <2198> any <3371> longer <3371>.
  • 25 But when I found <2638> that he had committed <4238> nothing <3367> worthy <514> of death <336>, and that he himself <848> hath appealed <1941> to Augustus <828>, I have determined <2919> to send <3992> him.
  • 26 Of whom <3739> I have <2192> no <3756> certain <804> thing to write <1125> unto my lord <2962>. Wherefore <1352> I have brought <4254> him forth <4254> before <1909> you, and specially <3122> before <1909> thee, O king <935> Agrippa <67>, that, after examination <351> had <1096>, I might have <2192> somewhat <5100> to write <1125>.
  • 27 For it seemeth <1380> to me unreasonable <249> to send <3992> a prisoner <1198>, and not withal to signify <4591> the crimes <156> [laid] against <2596> him.
  • Acts 26
  • 1. Then <1161> Agrippa <67> said <5346> unto Paul <3972>, Thou art permitted <2010> to speak <3004> for thyself <4572>. Then <5119> Paul <3972> stretched <1614> forth <1614> the hand <5495>, and answered <626> for himself:
  • 2 I think <2233> myself <1683> happy <3107>, king <935> Agrippa <67>, because I shall answer <626> for myself this <4594> day <4594> before <1909> thee touching <4012> all <3956> the things whereof <3739> I am accused <1458> of the Jews <2453>:
  • 3 Especially <3122> [because I know] thee to be expert <1109> in all <3956> customs <1485> and questions <2213> which are among <2596> the Jews <2453>: wherefore <1352> I beseech <1189> thee to hear <191> me patiently <3116>.
  • 4 My manner <981> of life <981> from my youth <3503>, which <3588> was at <575> the first <746> among <1722> mine <3450> own nation <1484> at <1722> Jerusalem <2414>, know <2467> all <3956> the Jews <2453>;
  • 5 Which knew <4267> me from the beginning <509>, if <1437> they would <2309> testify <3140>, that after <2596> the most straitest <196> sect <139> of our religion <2356> I lived <2198> a Pharisee <5330>.
  • 6 And now <3568> I stand <2476> and am judged <2919> for the hope <1680> of the promise <1860> made <1096> of God <2316> unto our fathers <3962>:
  • 7 Unto which <3739> [promise] our twelve <1429> tribes <1429>, instantly <1616> serving <3000> [God] day <2250> and night <3571>, hope <1679> to come <2658>. For which <3739> hope's <1679> sake, king <935> Agrippa <67>, I am accused <1458> of the Jews <2453>.
  • 8 Why <5101> should it be thought <2919> a thing incredible <571> with you, that God <2316> should raise <1453> the dead <3498>?
  • 9 I verily <3767> thought <1380> with myself <1683>, that I ought <1163> to do <4238> many <4183> things contrary <1727> to the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> of Nazareth <3478>.
  • 10 Which <3739> thing I also <2532> did <4160> in Jerusalem <2414>: and many <4183> of the saints <40> did I shut <2623> up in prison <5438>, having received <2983> authority <1849> from the chief <749> priests <749>; and when they were put <337> to death <337>, I gave <2702> my voice <5586> against <2702> [them].
  • 11 And I punished <5097> them oft <4178> in every <3956> synagogue <4864>, and compelled <315> [them] to blaspheme <987>; and being exceedingly <4057> mad <1693> against <1693> them, I persecuted <1377> [them] even <2532> unto strange <1854> cities <4172>.
  • 12. Whereupon <3739> as I went <4198> to Damascus <1154> with authority <1849> and commission <2011> from the chief <749> priests <749>,
  • 13 At midday <3319>, O king <935>, I saw <1492> in the way <3598> a light <5457> from heaven <3771>, above <5228> the brightness <2987> of the sun <2246>, shining <4034> round <4034> about <4034> me and them which journeyed <4198> with me.
  • 14 And when we were all <3956> fallen <2667> to the earth <1093>, I heard <191> a voice <5456> speaking <2980> unto me, and saying <3004> in the Hebrew <1446> tongue <1258>, Saul <4569>, Saul <4569>, why <5101> persecutest <1377> thou me? [it is] hard <4642> for thee to kick <2979> against <4314> the pricks <2759>.
  • 15 And I said <2036>, Who <5101> art <1488> thou, Lord <2962>? And he said <2036>, I am <1510> Jesus <2424> whom <3739> thou persecutest <1377>.
  • 16 But rise <450>, and stand <2476> upon thy feet <4228>: for I have appeared <3700> unto thee for this <5124> purpose, to make <4400> thee a minister <5257> and a witness <3144> both <5037> of these things which <3739> thou hast seen <1492>, and of those things in the which <3739> I will appear <3700> unto thee;
  • 17 Delivering <1807> thee from the people <2992>, and [from] the Gentiles <1484>, unto whom <3739> now <3568> I send <649> thee,
  • 18 To open <455> their eyes <3788>, [and] to turn <1994> [them] from darkness <4655> to light <5457>, and [from] the power <1849> of Satan <4567> unto God <2316>, that they may receive <2983> forgiveness <859> of sins <266>, and inheritance <2819> among <1722> them which are sanctified <37> by faith <4102> that is in me.
  • 19 Whereupon <3606>, O king <935> Agrippa <67>, I was not disobedient <545> unto the heavenly <3770> vision <3705>:
  • 20 But shewed <518> first <4412> unto them of Damascus <1154>, and at Jerusalem <2414>, and throughout <1519> all <3956> the coasts <5561> of Judaea <2449>, and [then] to the Gentiles <1484>, that they should repent <3340> and turn <1994> to God <2316>, and do <4238> works <2041> meet <514> for repentance <3341>.
  • 21 For these <5130> causes <1752> the Jews <2453> caught <4815> me in the temple <2411>, and went <3987> about <3985> to kill <1315> [me].
  • 22 Having therefore <3767> obtained <5177> help <1947> of God <2316>, I continue <2476> unto this <5026> day <2250>, witnessing <3140> both <5037> to small <3398> and great <3173>, saying <3004> none <3762> other <1622> things than those which <3739> the prophets <4396> and Moses <3475> did say <2980> should <3195> come <1096>:
  • 23 That Christ <5547> should suffer <3805>, [and] that he should be the first <4413> that should <3195> rise <386> from the dead <3498>, and should shew <2605> light <5457> unto the people <2992>, and to the Gentiles <1484>.
  • 24. And as he thus <5023> spake <626> for himself, Festus <5347> said <5346> with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, Paul <3972>, thou art beside <3105> thyself; much <4183> learning <1121> doth make <4062> thee mad <3130>.
  • 25 But he said <5346>, I am not mad <3105>, most <2903> noble <2903> Festus <5347>; but speak <669> forth <669> the words <4487> of truth <225> and soberness <4997>.
  • 26 For the king <935> knoweth <1987> of these <5130> things, before <4314> whom <3739> also <2532> I speak <2980> freely <3955>: for I am persuaded <3982> that none <3762> of these <5130> things are hidden <2990> from him; for this <5124> thing was not done <4238> in a corner <1137>.
  • 27 King <935> Agrippa <67>, believest <4100> thou the prophets <4396>? I know <1492> that thou believest <4100>.
  • 28 Then <1161> Agrippa <67> said <5346> unto Paul <3972>, Almost <3641> thou persuadest <3982> me to be a Christian <5546>.
  • 29 And Paul <3972> said <2036>, I would <2172> to God <2316>, that not only <3440> thou, but also <2532> all <3956> that hear <191> me this <4594> day <4594>, were both <2532> almost <3641>, and altogether <4183> such <5108> as I am <1510>, except <3923> these <5130> bonds <1199>.
  • 30 And when he had thus <5023> spoken <2036>, the king <935> rose <450> up, and the governor <2232>, and Bernice <959>, and they that sat <4775> with them:
  • 31 And when they were gone <402> aside <402>, they talked <2980> between <4314> themselves <240>, saying <3004>, This <3778> man <444> doeth <4238> nothing <3762> worthy <514> of death <2288> or <2228> of bonds <1199>.
  • 32 Then <1161> said <5346> Agrippa <67> unto Festus <5347>, This <3778> man <444> might <1410> have been <1096> set <630> at <630> liberty <630>, if <1487> he had not appealed <1941> unto Caesar <2541>.
  • Acts 27
  • 1. And when <5613> it was determined <2919> that we should sail <636> into <1519> Italy <2482>, they delivered <3860> Paul <3972> and certain <5100> other <2087> prisoners <1202> unto [one] named <3686> Julius <2457>, a centurion <1543> of Augustus <828>' band <4686>.
  • 2 And entering <1910> into a ship <4143> of Adramyttium <98>, we launched <321>, meaning <3195> to sail <4126> by the coasts <5117> of Asia <773>; [one] Aristarchus <708>, a Macedonian <3110> of Thessalonica <2331>, being <5607> with us.
  • 3 And the next <2087> [day] we touched <2609> at <1519> Sidon <4605>. And Julius <2457> courteously <5364> entreated <5530> Paul <3972>, and gave <2010> [him] liberty <2010> to go <4198> unto his friends <5384> to refresh <5177> himself.
  • 4 And when we had launched <321> from thence <1564>, we sailed <5284> under <5284> Cyprus <2954>, because <1223> the winds <417> were contrary <1727>.
  • 5 And when we had sailed <1277> over <1277> the sea <3989> of Cilicia <2791> and Pamphylia <3828>, we came <2718> to Myra <3460>, [a city] of Lycia <3073>.
  • 6 And there <1563> the centurion <1543> found <2147> a ship <4143> of Alexandria <221> sailing <4126> into <1519> Italy <2482>; and he put <1688> us therein.
  • 7 And when we had sailed <1020> slowly <1020> many <2425> days <2250>, and scarce <3433> were come <1096> over <2596> against <2596> Cnidus <2834>, the wind <417> not suffering <4330> us, we sailed <5284> under <5284> Crete <2914>, over <2596> against <2596> Salmone <4534>;
  • 8 And, hardly <3433> passing <3881> it, came <2064> unto a place <5117> which is called <2564> The fair <2568> havens <2568>; nigh <1451> whereunto <3739> was the city <4172> [of] Lasea <2996>.
  • 9 Now <1161> when much <2425> time <5550> was spent <1230>, and when sailing <4144> was now <2235> dangerous <2000>, because <1223> the fast <3521> was now <2235> already <2235> past <3928>, Paul <3972> admonished <3867> [them],
  • 10 And said <3004> unto them, Sirs <435>, I perceive <2334> that this <3588> voyage <4144> will <3195> be with hurt <5196> and much <4183> damage <2209>, not only <3440> of the lading <5414> and ship <4143>, but also <2532> of our lives <5590>.
  • 11 Nevertheless <1161> the centurion <1543> believed <3982> the master <2942> and the owner <3490> of the ship <3490>, more <3123> than <2228> those <3588> things which were spoken <3004> by Paul <3972>.
  • 12. And because the haven <3040> was not commodious <428> to winter <3915> in, the more <4119> part advised <5087> to depart <321> thence <1564> also <2547>, if <1513> by any <4458> means <4458> they might <1410> attain <2658> to Phenice <5405>, [and there] to winter <3914>; [which is] an haven <3040> of Crete <2914>, and lieth <991> toward <2596> the south <3047> west <3047> and north <5566> west <5566>.
  • 13 And when the south <3558> wind blew <5285> softly <5285>, supposing <1380> that they had obtained <2902> [their] purpose <4286>, loosing <142> [thence], they sailed <3881> close <788> by Crete <2914>.
  • 14 But not long <4183> after there arose <906> against <2596> it a tempestuous <5189> wind <417>, called <2564> Euroclydon <2148>.
  • 15 And when the ship <4143> was caught <4884>, and could <1410> not bear <503> up into the wind <417>, we let <1929> [her] drive <1929>.
  • 16 And running <5295> under <5295> a certain <5100> island <3519> which is called <2564> Clauda <2802>, we had much <3433> work <2480> to come <1096> by the boat <4627>:
  • 17 Which <3739> when they had taken <142> up, they used <5530> helps <996>, undergirding <5269> the ship <4143>; and, fearing <5399> lest <3361> they should fall <1601> into <1519> the quicksands <4950>, strake <5465> sail <4632>, and so <3779> were driven <5342>.
  • 18 And we being exceedingly <4971> tossed <5492> with a tempest <5492>, the next <1836> [day] they lightened <1546> the ship;
  • 19 And the third <5154> [day] we cast <4496> out with our own <849> hands <849> the tackling <4631> of the ship <4143>.
  • 20 And when neither <3383> sun <2246> nor <3383> stars <798> in many <4119> days <2250> appeared <2014>, and no <3756> small <3641> tempest <5494> lay <1945> on <1945> [us], all <3956> hope <1680> that we should be saved <4982> was then <3063> taken <4014> away <4014>.
  • 21. But after <5225> long <4183> abstinence <776> Paul <3972> stood <2476> forth in the midst <3319> of them, and said <2036>, Sirs <435>, ye should <1163> have hearkened <3980> unto me, and not have loosed <321> from Crete <2914>, and to have gained <2770> this <5026> harm <5196> and loss <2209>.
  • 22 And now <3568> I exhort <3867> you to be of good cheer <2114>: for there shall be no <3762> loss <580> of [any <3762> man's] life <5590> among <1537> you, but of the ship <4143>.
  • 23 For there stood <3936> by me this <5026> night <3571> the angel <32> of God <2316>, whose <3739> I am <1510>, and whom <3739> I serve <3000>,
  • 24 Saying <3004>, Fear <5399> not, Paul <3972>; thou must <1163> be brought <3936> before <3936> Caesar <2541>: and, lo <2400>, God <2316> hath given <5483> thee all <3956> them that sail <4126> with thee.
  • 25 Wherefore <1352>, sirs <435>, be of good cheer <2114>: for I believe <4100> God <2316>, that it shall be even <3779> as it was told <2980> me.
  • 26 Howbeit we must <1163> be cast <1601> upon a certain <5100> island <3520>.
  • 27 But when <5613> the fourteenth <5065> night <3571> was come <1096>, as we were driven <1308> up and down <1308> in Adria <99>, about <2596> midnight <3571> the shipmen <3492> deemed <5282> that they drew <4317> near <4317> to some <5100> country <5561>;
  • 28 And sounded <1001>, and found <2147> [it] twenty <1501> fathoms <3712>: and when they had gone <1339> a little <1024> further <1339>, they sounded <1001> again <3825>, and found <2147> [it] fifteen <1178> fathoms <3712>.
  • 29 Then <5037> fearing <5399> lest <3381> we should have fallen <1601> upon rocks <5117>, they cast <4496> four <5064> anchors <45> out of the stern <4403>, and wished <2172> for the day <2250>.
  • 30 And as the shipmen <3492> were about <2212> to flee <5343> out of the ship <4143>, when they had let <5465> down <5465> the boat <4627> into <1519> the sea <2281>, under colour <4392> as though they would <3195> have cast <1614> anchors out of the foreship <4408>,
  • 31 Paul <3972> said <2036> to the centurion <1543> and to the soldiers <4757>, Except <3362> these <3778> abide <3306> in the ship <4143>, ye cannot <1410> be saved <4982>.
  • 32 Then <5119> the soldiers <4757> cut <609> off <609> the ropes <4979> of the boat <4627>, and let <1439> her fall <1601> off <1601>.
  • 33 And while <3739> the day <2250> was coming <1096> on, Paul <3972> besought <3870> [them] all <537> to take <3335> meat <5160>, saying <3004>, This <4594> day <4594> is the fourteenth <5065> day <2250> that ye have tarried <4328> and continued <1300> fasting <777>, having taken <4355> nothing <3367>.
  • 34 Wherefore <1352> I pray <3870> you to take <4355> [some] meat <5160>: for this <5124> is for your <5212> health <4991>: for there shall not an hair <2359> fall <4098> from the head <2776> of any <3762> of you.
  • 35 And when he had thus <5023> spoken <2036>, he took <2983> bread <740>, and gave thanks <2168> to God <2316> in presence <1799> of them all <3956>: and when he had broken <2806> [it], he began <756> to eat <2068>.
  • 36 Then <1161> were they all <3956> of good cheer <2114>, and they also <2532> took <4355> [some] meat <5160>.
  • 37 And we were in all <3956> in the ship <4143> two <1250> hundred <1250> threescore <1440> and sixteen <1803> souls <5590>.
  • 38 And when they had eaten <2880> enough <2880>, they lightened <2893> the ship <4143>, and cast <1544> out the wheat <4621> into <1519> the sea <2281>.
  • 39 And when <3753> it was day <2250>, they knew <1921> not the land <1093>: but they discovered <2657> a certain <5100> creek <2859> with a shore <123>, into <1519> the which <3739> they were minded <1014>, if <1487> it were possible <1410>, to thrust <1856> in the ship <4143>.
  • 40 And when they had taken <4014> up the anchors <45>, they committed <1439> [themselves] unto the sea <2281>, and loosed <447> the rudder <4079> bands <2202>, and hoised <1869> up the mainsail <736> to the wind <4154>, and made <2722> toward <1519> shore <123>.
  • 41 And falling <4045> into <1519> a place <5117> where <1337> two <1337> seas <1337> met, they ran <2027> the ship <3491> aground <2027>; and the forepart <4408> stuck <2043> fast, and remained <3306> unmoveable <761>, but the hinder <4403> part <4403> was broken <3089> with the violence <970> of the waves <2949>.
  • 42 And the soldiers <4757>' counsel <1012> was to kill <615> the prisoners <1202>, lest <3361> any <5100> of them should swim <1579> out, and escape <1309>.
  • 43 But the centurion <1543>, willing <1014> to save <1295> Paul <3972>, kept <2967> them from [their] purpose <1013>; and commanded <2753> that they which could <1410> swim <2860> should cast <641> [themselves] first <4413> [into the sea], and get <1826> to land <1093>:
  • 44 And the rest <3062>, some <3588> on <1909> boards <4548>, and some <1161> on <1909> [broken pieces] of the ship <4493>. And so <3779> it came <1096> to pass, that they escaped <1295> all <3956> safe <1295> to land <1093>.
  • Acts 28
  • 1. And when they were escaped <1295>, then <5119> they knew <1921> that the island <3520> was called <2564> Melita <3194>.
  • 2 And the barbarous <915> people shewed <3930> us no <3756> little <5177> kindness <5363>: for they kindled <381> a fire <4443>, and received <4355> us every <3956> one, because <1223> of the present <2186> rain <5205>, and because <1223> of the cold <5592>.
  • 3 And when Paul <3972> had gathered <4962> a bundle <4128> of sticks <5434>, and laid <2007> [them] on <1909> the fire <4443>, there came <1831> a viper <2191> out of the heat <2329>, and fastened <2510> on <2510> his hand <5495>.
  • 4 And when <5613> the barbarians <915> saw <1492> the [venomous] beast <2342> hang <2910> on <1537> his hand <5495>, they said <3004> among <4314> themselves <846>, No doubt <3843> this <3778> man <444> is a murderer <5406>, whom <3739>, though he hath escaped <1295> the sea <2281>, yet vengeance <1349> suffereth <1439> not to live <2198>.
  • 5 And he shook <660> off <660> the beast <2342> into <1519> the fire <4442>, and felt <3958> no <3762> harm <2556>.
  • 6 Howbeit they looked <4328> when he should <3195> have swollen <4092>, or <2228> fallen <2667> down <2667> dead <3498> suddenly <869>: but after they had looked <4328> a great <4183> while, and saw <2334> no <3367> harm <824> come <1096> to him, they changed <3328> their minds, and said <3004> that he was a god <2316>.
  • 7 In the same <1565> quarters <5117> were possessions <5564> of the chief <4413> man of the island <3520>, whose name <3686> was Publius <4196>; who <3739> received <324> us, and lodged <3579> us three <5140> days <2250> courteously <5390>.
  • 8 And it came <1096> to pass, that the father <3962> of Publius <4196> lay <2621> sick of a fever <4446> and of a bloody <1420> flux <1420>: to whom <3739> Paul <3972> entered <1525> in, and prayed <4336>, and laid <2007> his hands <5495> on <2007> him, and healed <2390> him.
  • 9 So <3767> when this <5127> was done <1096>, others <3062> also <2532>, which <3588> had <2192> diseases <769> in the island <3520>, came <4334>, and were healed <2323>:
  • 10 Who <3739> also <2532> honoured <5092> us with many <4183> honours <5091>; and when we departed <321>, they laded <2007> [us] with such things as were necessary <5532>.
  • 11. And after <3326> three <5140> months <3376> we departed <321> in a ship <4493> of Alexandria <221>, which had wintered <3916> in the isle <3520>, whose sign <3902> was Castor <1359> and Pollux <1359>.
  • 12 And landing <2609> at <1519> Syracuse <4946>, we tarried <1961> [there] three <5140> days <2250>.
  • 13 And from thence <3606> we fetched a compass <4022>, and came <2658> to Rhegium <4484>: and after <3326> one <3391> day <2250> the south <3558> wind blew <1920>, and we came <2064> the next <1206> day to Puteoli <4223>:
  • 14 Where <3757> we found <2147> brethren <80>, and were desired <3870> to tarry <1961> with them seven <2033> days <2250>: and so <3779> we went <2064> toward <1519> Rome <4516>.
  • 15 And from thence <1564>, when the brethren <80> heard <191> of us, they came <1831> to meet <529> us as far <891> as Appii <675> forum <5410>, and The three <5140> taverns <4999>: whom <3739> when Paul <3972> saw <1492>, he thanked <2168> God <2316>, and took <2983> courage <2294>.
  • 16 And when <3753> we came <2064> to Rome <4516>, the centurion <1543> delivered <3860> the prisoners <1198> to the captain <4759> of the guard <4759>: but Paul <3972> was suffered <2010> to dwell <3306> by himself <1438> with a soldier <4757> that kept <5442> him.
  • 17. And it came <1096> to pass, that after <3326> three <5140> days <2250> Paul <3972> called <4779> the chief <4413> of the Jews <2453> together <4779>: and when they were come <4905> together <4905>, he said <3004> unto them, Men <435> [and] brethren <80>, though I have committed <4160> nothing <3762> against <1727> the people <2992>, or <2228> customs <1485> of our fathers <3971>, yet was I delivered <3860> prisoner <1198> from Jerusalem <2414> into <1519> the hands <5495> of the Romans <4514>.
  • 18 Who <3748>, when they had examined <350> me, would have let <630> [me] go <630>, because <1223> there was no <3367> cause <156> of death <2288> in me.
  • 19 But when the Jews <2453> spake <483> against <483> [it], I was constrained <315> to appeal <1941> unto Caesar <2541>; not that I had <2192> ought <5100> to accuse <2723> my nation <1484> of.
  • 20 For this <5026> cause <156> therefore <3767> have I called <3870> for you, to see <1492> [you], and to speak <4354> with [you]: because <1063> that for the hope <1680> of Israel <2474> I am bound <4029> with this <5026> chain <254>.
  • 21 And they said <2036> unto him, We neither <3777> received <1209> letters <1121> out of Judaea <2449> concerning <4012> thee, neither <3777> any <5100> of the brethren <80> that came <3854> shewed <518> or <2228> spake <2980> any <5100> harm <4190> of thee.
  • 22 But we desire <515> to hear <191> of thee what <3739> thou thinkest <5426>: for as concerning <4012> this <5026> sect <139>, we know <1110> that every <3837> where <3837> it is spoken <483> against <483>.
  • 23. And when they had appointed <5021> him a day <2250>, there came <2240> many <4119> to him into <1519> [his] lodging <3578>; to whom <3739> he expounded <1620> and testified <1263> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, persuading <3982> them concerning <4012> Jesus <2424>, both <5037> out of the law <3551> of Moses <3475>, and [out of] the prophets <4396>, from morning <4404> till <2193> evening <2073>.
  • 24 And some <3588> believed <3982> the things which were spoken <3004>, and some <3588> believed not.
  • 25 And when they agreed <800> not among <4314> themselves <846>, they departed <630>, after that Paul <3972> had spoken <2036> one <1520> word <4487>, Well <2573> spake <2980> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> by Esaias <2268> the prophet <4396> unto our fathers <3962>,
  • 26 Saying <3004>, Go <4198> unto this <5126> people <2992>, and say <2036>, Hearing <189> ye shall hear <191>, and shall not understand <4920>; and seeing <991> ye shall see <991>, and not perceive <1492>:
  • 27 For the heart <2588> of this <5127> people <2992> is waxed <3975> gross <3975>, and their ears <3775> are dull <917> of hearing <191>, and their eyes <3788> have they closed <2576>; lest <3379> they should see <1492> with [their] eyes <3788>, and hear <191> with [their] ears <3775>, and understand <4920> with [their] heart <2588>, and should be converted <1994>, and I should heal <2392> them.
  • 28 Be it known <1110> therefore <3767> unto you, that the salvation <4992> of God <2316> is sent <649> unto the Gentiles <1484>, and [that] they will hear <191> it.
  • 29 And when he had said <2036> these <5023> words, the Jews <2453> departed <565>, and had <2192> great <4183> reasoning <4803> among <1722> themselves <1438>.
  • 30. And Paul <3972> dwelt <3306> two <1333> whole <3650> years <1333> in his own <2398> hired <3410> house, and received <588> all <3956> that came <1531> in unto him,
  • 31 Preaching <2784> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, and teaching <1321> those <3588> things which concern <4012> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, with all <3956> confidence <3954>, no <209> man forbidding <209> him.
