¹ The former 03303, 4413 treatise 03056 have I made 04160, O 05599 Theophilus 02321, of 04012 all 03956 that 03739 Jesus 02424 began 0756 both 05037 to do 04160 and 02532 teach 01321,

² Until 0891 the day 02250 when 03739 he was taken up 0353, after that he through 01223 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 had given commandments 01781 to the apostles 0652 whom 03739 he had chosen 01586:

³ To whom 03739 also 02532 he showed 03936 himself 01438 alive 02198 after 03326 his 0846 passion 03958 by 01722 many 04183 infallible proofs 05039, being seen 03700 by them 0846, 1223 forty 05062 days 02250, and 02532 speaking 03004 of the things pertaining 04012 to the kingdom 0932 of God 02316:

⁴ And 02532, being assembled 04871 with 0846 them, commanded 03853 them 0846 that they should 05563 not 03361 depart 05563 from 0575 Jerusalem 02414, but 0235 wait 04037 for the promise 01860 of the Father 03962, which 03739, saith he, ye have heard 0191 from me 03450. being…: or, eating together

⁵ For 03754 John 02491 truly 03303 baptized 0907 in water 05204; but 01161 ye 05210 shall be baptized 0907 in 01722 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 not 03756 many 03326, 4183 days 02250 from now 05025.

⁶ When 03303 they therefore 03767 were come together 04905, they asked 01905 of him 0846, saying 03004, Lord 01487, 2962, wilt thou 0600 at 01722 this 05129 time 05550 restore again 0600 the kingdom 0932 to Israel 02474?

⁷ And 01161 he said 02036 to 04314 them 0846, It is 02076 not 03756 for you 05216 to know 01097 the times 05550 or 02228 the seasons 02540, which 03739 the Father 03962 hath put 05087 in 01722 his own 02398 power 01849.

⁸ But 0235 ye shall receive 02983 power 01411, after the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 is come 01904 upon 01909 you 05209: and 02532 ye shall be 02071 witnesses 03144 to me 03427 both 05037 in 01722 Jerusalem 02419, and 02532 in 01722 all 03956 Judaea 02449, and 02532 in Samaria 04540, and 02532 to 02193 the uttermost part 02078 of the earth 01093. power…: or, the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you

⁹ And 02532 when he had spoken 02036 these things 05023, while they 0846 beheld 0991, he was taken up 01869; and 02532 a cloud 03507 received 05274 him 0846 out of 0575 their 0846 sight 03788.

¹⁰ And 02532 while 05613 they looked steadfastly 02258, 816 toward 01519 heaven 03772 as he 0846 went up 04198, 2532, behold 02400, two 01417 men 0435 stood by 03936 them 0846 in 01722 white 03022 apparel 02066;

¹¹ Who 03739 also 02532 said 02036, Ye men 0435 of Galilee 01057, why 05101 stand ye 02476 gazing up 01689 to 01519 heaven 03772? this same 03778 Jesus 02424, who 03588 is taken 0353 from 0575 you 05216 into 01519 heaven 03772, shall 02064 so 03779 come 02064 in like manner as 03739, 5158 ye have seen 02300 him 0846 go 04198 into 01519 heaven 03772.

¹² Then 05119 they returned 05290 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419 from 0575 the mount 03735 called 02564 Olivet 01638, which 03739 is 02076 from 01451 Jerusalem 02419 a sabbath 04521 day’s journey 02192, 3598.

¹³ And 02532 when 03753 they had come in 01525, they went 0305 into 01519 an upper room 05253, where 03757 abode 02258, 2650 both 05037 Peter 04074, and 02532 James 02385, and 02532 John 02491, and 02532 Andrew 0406, Philip 05376, and 02532 Thomas 02381, Bartholomew 0918, and 02532 Matthew 03156, James 02385 the son of Alphaeus 0256, and 02532 Simon 04613 Zelotes 02208, and 02532 Judas 02455 the brother of James 02385.

¹⁴ These 03778 all 03956 continued 02258, 4342 with one accord 03661 in prayer 04335 and 02532 supplication 01162, with 04862 the women 01135, and 02532 Mary 03137 the mother 03384 of Jesus 02424, and 02532 with 04862 his 0846 brethren 080.

¹⁵ And 02532 in 01722 those 05025 days 02250 Peter 04074 stood up 0450 in 01722 the midst 03319 of the disciples 03101, and said 02036, 5037, (the number 03793 of the names 03686 together 01909, 846 were 02258 about 05613 an hundred 01540 and twenty 01501,)

¹⁶ Men 0435, brethren 080, this 05026 scripture 01124 must 01163 needs have been fulfilled 04137, which 03739 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 by 01223 the mouth 04750 of David 01138 spoke before 04277 concerning 04012 Judas 02455, who 03588 was 01096 guide 03595 to them that took 04815 Jesus 02424.

¹⁷ For 03754 he was 02258 numbered 02674 with 04862 us 02254, and 02532 had obtained 02975 part 02819 of this 05026 ministry 01248.

¹⁸ Now 03303, 3767 this man 03778 purchased 02932 a field 05564 with 01537 the reward 03408 of iniquity 093; and 02532 falling 01096 headlong 04248, he burst asunder 02997 in the midst 03319, and 02532 all 03956 his 0846 bowels 04698 gushed out 01632.

¹⁹ And 02532 it was 01096 known 01110 to all 03956 the dwellers 02730 at Jerusalem 02419; therefore 05620 that 01565 field 05564 is called 02564 in their 0846 proper 02398 tongue 01258, Aceldama 0184, that is to say 05123, The field 05564 of blood 0129.

²⁰ For 01063 it is written 01125 in 01722 the book 0976 of Psalms 05568, Let 01096 his 0846 habitation 01886 be 01096 desolate 02048, and 02532 let 02077 no man 03361 dwell 02730 in 01722 it 0846: and 02532 his 0846 office 01984 let 02983 another 02087 take 02983. bishoprick: or, office, or, charge

²¹ Therefore 03767 of these 05130 men 0435 who accompanied 04905 us 02254 all 03956 the time 05550 that 01722, 3739 the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424 went 01831 in 01525 and 02532 out 01831 among 01909 us 02248,

²² Beginning 0756 from 0575 the baptism 0908 of John 02491, to 02193 that same day 02250 that 03739 he was taken up 0353 from 0575 us 02257, must 01163 one 01520 be ordained 01096 to be a witness 03144 with 04862 us 02254 of his 0846 resurrection 0386.

²³ And 02532 they appointed 02476 two 01417, Joseph 02501 called 02564 Barsabas 0923, who 03739 was surnamed 01941 Justus 02459, and 02532 Matthias 03159.

²⁴ And 02532 they prayed 04336, and said 02036, Thou 04771, Lord 02962, who knowest the hearts 02589 of all 03956 men, show 0322 which 03739, 1520 of 01537 these 05130 two 01417 thou hast chosen 01586,

²⁵ That he may take 02983 part 02819 of this 05026 ministry 01248 and 02532 apostleship 0651, from 01537 which 03739 Judas 02455 by transgression fell 03845, that he might go 04198 to 01519 his own 02398 place 05117.

²⁶ And 02532 they gave forth 01325 their 0846 lots 02819; and 02532 the lot 02819 fell 04098 upon 01909 Matthias 03159; and 02532 he was numbered 04785 with 03326 the eleven 01733 apostles 0652.

¹ And 02532 when 01722 the day 02250 of Pentecost 04005 was fully come 04845, they were 02258 all 0537 with one accord 03661 in 01909 one place 0846.

² And 02532 suddenly 0869 there came 01096 a sound 02279 from 01537 heaven 03772 as 05618 of a rushing 05342 mighty 0972 wind 04157, and 02532 it filled 04137 all 03650 the house 03624 where 03757 they were 02258 sitting 02521.

³ And 02532 there appeared 03700 to them 0846 cloven 01266 tongues 01100 as 05616 of fire 04442, and 05037 it sat 02523 upon 01909 each 01538, 1520 of them 0846.

⁴ And 02532 they were 04130 all 0537 filled 04130 with the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, and 02532 began 0756 to speak in 02980 other 02087 tongues 01100, as 02531 the Spirit 04151 gave 01325 them 0846 utterance 0669.

⁵ And 01161 there were 02258 dwelling 02730 at 01722 Jerusalem 02419 Jews 02453, devout 02126 men 0435, from 0575 every 03956 nation 01484 under 05259 heaven 03772.

⁶ Now 01161 when this 05026 was 01096 noised abroad 05456, the multitude 04128 came together 04905, and 02532 were confounded 04797, because 03754 every 01538 man 01520 heard 0191 them 0846 speak 02980 in his own 02398 language 01258. was…: Gr. voice was made confounded: or, troubled in mind

⁷ And 01161 they were 01839 all 03956 amazed 01839 and 02532 marvelled 02296, saying 03004 one to another 04314, 240, Behold 02400, are 01526 not 03756 all 03956 these 03778 who 03588 speak 02980 Galilaeans 01057?

⁸ And 02532 how 04459 do we 02249 hear 0191 every 01538 man in our 02257 own 02398 language 01258, in 01722 which 03739 we were born 01080?

⁹ Parthians 03934, and 02532 Medes 03370, and 02532 Elamites 01639, and 02532 the dwellers 02730 in Mesopotamia 03318, and 05037 in Judaea 02449, and 02532 Cappadocia 02587, in Pontus 04195, and 02532 Asia 0773,

¹⁰ 05037 Phrygia 05435, and 05037, 2532 Pamphylia 03828, in Egypt 0125, and 02532 in the parts 03313 of Libya 03033 about 02596 Cyrene 02957, and 02532 strangers 01927 of Rome 05037, 4514, Jews 02453 and 05037, 2532 proselytes 04339,

¹¹ Cretes 02912 and 02532 Arabians 0690, we hear 0191 them 0846 speak 02980 in our 02251 tongues 01100 the wonderful works 03167 of God 02316.

¹² And 01161 they were 01839 all 03956 amazed 01839, and 02532 were perplexed 01280, saying 03004 one 0243 to 04314 another 0243, What 05101 meaneth 02309, 302, 1511 this 05124?

¹³ 01161 Others 02087 mocking 05512 said 03004, 3754, These men are 01526 full 03325 of new wine 01098.

¹⁴ But 01161 Peter 04074, standing up 02476 with 04862 the eleven 01733, lifted up 01869 his 0846 voice 05456, and 02532 said 0669 to them 0846, Ye men 0435 of Judaea 02453, and 02532 all 0537 ye that dwell 02730 at Jerusalem 02419, be 02077 this 05124 known 01110 to you 05213, and 02532 hearken 01801 to my 03450 words 04487:

¹⁵ For 01063 these 03778 are 03184 not 03756 drunk 03184, as 05613 ye 05210 suppose 05274, seeing 01063 it is 02076 but the third 05154 hour 05610 of the day 02250.

¹⁶ But 0235 this 05124 is 02076 that which was spoken 02046 by 01223 the prophet 04396 Joel 02493;

¹⁷ And 02532 it shall come to pass 02071 in 01722 the last 02078 days 02250, saith 03004 God 02316, I will pour out 01632 of 0575 my 03450 Spirit 04151 upon 01909 all 03956 flesh 04561: and 02532 your 05216 sons 05207 and 02532 your 05216 daughters 02364 shall prophesy 04395, and 02532 your 05216 young men 03495 shall see 03700 visions 03706, and 02532 your 05216 old men 04245 shall dream 01797 dreams 01798:

¹⁸ And 02532, 1065 on 01909 my 03450 servants 01401 and 02532 on 01909 my 03450 handmaidens 01399 I will, in 01722 those 01565, days 02250 pour out 01632 of 0575 my 03450 Spirit 04151; and 02532 they shall prophesy 04395:

¹⁹ And 02532 I will show 01325 wonders 05059 in 01722 heaven 03772 above 0507, and 02532 signs 04592 on 01909 the earth 01093 beneath 02736; blood 0129, and 02532 fire 04442, and 02532 vapour 0822 of smoke 02586:

²⁰ The sun 02246 shall be turned 03344 into 01519 darkness 04655, and 02532 the moon 04582 into 01519 blood 0129, before 02228, 4250 that great 03173 and 02532 notable 02016 day 02250 of the Lord 02962 come 02064:

²¹ And 02532 it shall come to pass 02071, that whoever 03739, 3956, 302 shall call on 01941 the name 03686 of the Lord 02962 shall be saved 04982.

²² Ye men 0435 of Israel 02475, hear 0191 these 05128 words 03056; Jesus 02424 of Nazareth 03480, a man 0435 approved 0584 by 0575 God 02316 among 01519 you 05209 by miracles 01411 and 02532 wonders 05059 and 02532 signs 04592, which 03739 God 02316 did 04160 by 01223 him 0846 in 01722 the midst 03319 of you 05216, as 02531 ye yourselves 0846 also 02532 know 01492:

²³ Him 05126, being delivered 01560 by the determinate 03724 counsel 01012 and 02532 foreknowledge 04268 of God 02316, ye have taken 02983, and by 01223 wicked 0459 hands 05495 have crucified 04362 and slain 0337:

²⁴ Whom 03739 God 02316 hath raised up 0450, having loosed 03089 the pains 05604 of death 02288: because 02530 it was 02258 not 03756 possible 01415 that he 0846 should be held 02902 by 05259 it 0846.

²⁵ For 01063 David 01138 speaketh 03004 concerning 01519 him 0846, I saw 04308 the Lord 02962 always 01223, 3956 before 01799 my 03450 face, for 03754 he is 02076 on 01537 my 03450 right hand 01188, that 03363 I should 04531 not 03363 be moved 04531:

²⁶ Therefore 01223, 5124 did 02165 my 03450 heart 02588 rejoice 02165, and 02532 my 03450 tongue 01100 was glad 021; moreover 01161, 2089 also 02532 my 03450 flesh 04561 shall rest 02681 in 01909 hope 01680:

²⁷ Because 03754 thou wilt 01459 not 03756 leave 01459 my 03450 soul 05590 in 01519 hell 086, neither 03761 wilt thou allow 01325 thy 04675 Holy One 03741 to see 01492 corruption 01312.

²⁸ Thou hast made known 01107 to me 03427 the ways 03598 of life 02222; thou shalt make 04137 me 03165 full 04137 of joy 02167 with 03326 thy 04675 countenance 04383.

²⁹ Men 0435, brethren 080, let 02036 me 01832 freely 03326, 3954 speak 02036 to 04314 you 05209 concerning 04012 the patriarch 03966 David 01138, that 03754 he is 05053 both 02532 dead 05053 and 02532 buried 02290, and 02532 his 0846 sepulchre 03418 is 02076 with 01722 us 02254 to 0891 this 05026 day 02250. let me: or, I may

³⁰ Therefore 03767 being 05225 a prophet 04396, and 02532 knowing 01492 that 03754 God 02316 had sworn 03660 to him 0846 with an oath 03727, that from 01537 the fruit 02590 of his 0846 loins 03751, according to 02596 the flesh 04561, he would raise up 0450 Christ 05547 to sit 02523 on 01909 his 0846 throne 02362;

³¹ He seeing this before 04275 spoke 02980 of 04012 the resurrection 0386 of Christ 05547, that 03754 his 0846 soul 05590 was 02641 not 03756 left 02641 in 01519 hell 086, neither 03761 did his 0846 flesh 04561 see 01492 corruption 01312.

³² This 05126 Jesus 02424 hath 0450 God 02316 raised up 0450, of which 03739 we 02249 all 03956 are 02070 witnesses 03144.

³³ Therefore 03767 being 05312 by the right hand 01188 of God 02316 exalted 05312, and 05037 having received 02983 from 03844 the Father 03962 the promise 01860 of the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, he hath shed forth 01632 this 05124, which 03739 ye 05210 now 03568 see 0991 and 02532 hear 0191.

³⁴ For 01063 David 01138 did not 03756 ascend 0305 into 01519 the heavens 03772: but 01161 he saith 03004 himself 0846, The LORD 02962 said 02036 to my 03450 Lord 02962, Sit thou 02521 on 01537 my 03450 right hand 01188,

³⁵ Until 02193 I make 0302, 5087 thy 04675 foes 02190 thy 04675 footstool 04228, 5286.

³⁶ Therefore 03767 let 01097 all 03956 the house 03624 of Israel 02474 know 01097 assuredly 0806, that 03754 God 02316 hath made 04160 that same 05126 Jesus 02424, whom 03739 ye 05210 have crucified 04717, both 02532 Lord 02962 and 02532 Christ 05547.

³⁷ Now 01161 when they heard 0191 this, they were pricked 02660 in their heart 02588, and 05037 said 02036 to 04314 Peter 04074 and 02532 to the rest 03062 of the apostles 0652, Men 0435, brethren 080, what 05101 shall we do 04160?

³⁸ Then 01161 Peter 04074 said 05346 to 04314 them 0846, Repent ye 03340, and 02532 each one 01538 of you 05216 be baptized 0907 in 01909 the name 03686 of Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 for 01519 the remission 0859 of sins 0266, and 02532 ye shall receive 02983 the gift 01431 of the Holy 040 Spirit 04151.

³⁹ For 01063 the promise 01860 is 02076 to you 05213, and 02532 to your 05216 children 05043, and 02532 to all 03956 that are afar off 01519, 3112, even as many as 03745 the Lord 02962 our 02257 God 02316 shall call 0302, 4341.

⁴⁰ And 05037 with many 04119 other 02087 words 03056 did he testify 01263 and 02532 exhort 03870, saying 03004, Save yourselves 04982 from 0575 this 05026 perverse 04646 generation 01074.

⁴¹ Then 03303, 3767 they that gladly 0780 received 0588 his 0846 word 03056 were baptized 0907: and 02532 the same 01565 day 02250 there were added 04369 to them about 05616 three thousand 05153 souls 05590.

⁴² And 01161 they continued 02258 steadfastly 04342 in the apostles 0652’ doctrine 01322 and 02532 fellowship 02842, and 02532 in breaking 02800 of bread 0740, and 02532 in prayers 04335.

⁴³ And 01161 fear 05401 came upon 01096 every 03956 soul 05590: and 05037 many 04183 wonders 05059 and 02532 signs 04592 were done 01096 by 01223 the apostles 0652.

⁴⁴ And 01161 all 03956 that believed 04100 were 02258 together 01909, 846, and 02532 had 02192 all things 0537 in common 02839;

⁴⁵ And 02532 sold 04097 their possessions 02933 and 02532 goods 05223, and 02532 parted 01266 them 0846 to all 03956 men, as 02530 every man 05100 had 0302, 2192 need 05532.

⁴⁶ And 05037 they, continuing 04342 daily 02596, 2250 with one accord 03661 in 01722 the temple 02411, and 05037 breaking 02806 bread 0740 from 02596 house to house 03624, ate 03335 their food 05160 with 01722 gladness 020 and 02532 singleness 0858 of heart 02588, from…: or, at home

⁴⁷ Praising 0134 God 02316, and 02532 having 02192 favour 05485 with 04314 all 03650 the people 02992. And 01161 the Lord 02962 added 04369 to the church 01577 daily 02596, 2250 such as should be saved 04982.

3

¹ Now 01161 Peter 04074 and 02532 John 02491 went up 0305 together 01909, 846 into 01519 the temple 02411 at the hour 05610 of prayer 04335, being the ninth 01766 hour.

² And 02532 a certain 05100 man 0435 lame 05225, 5560 from 01537 his 0846 mother’s 03384 womb 02836 was carried 0941, whom 03739 they laid 05087 daily 02250, 2596 at 04314 the gate 02374 of the temple 02411 which 03588 is called 03004 Beautiful 05611, to ask 0154 alms 01654 of 03844 them that entered 01531 into 01519 the temple 02411;

³ Who 03739 seeing 01492 Peter 04074 and 02532 John 02491 about 03195 to go 01524 into 01519 the temple 02411 asked 02065, 2983 alms 01654.

⁴ And 01161 Peter 04074, fastening his eyes 0816 upon 01519 him 0846 with 04862 John 02491, said 02036, Look 0991 on 01519 us 02248.

⁵ And 01161 he gave heed 01907 to them 0846, expecting 04328 to receive 02983 something 05100 from 03844 them 0846.

⁶ Then 01161 Peter 04074 said 02036, Silver 0694 and 02532 gold 05553 have 05225 I 03427 none 03756; but 01161 such as 03739, 5124 I have 02192 I give 01325 thee 04671: In 01722 the name 03686 of Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 of Nazareth 03480 rise up 01453 and 02532 walk 04043.

⁷ And 02532 he took 04084 him 0846 by the right 01188 hand 05495, and lifted him up 01453: and 01161 immediately 03916 his 0846 feet 0939 and 02532 ankle bones 04974 received strength 04732.

⁸ And 02532 he leaping up 01814 stood 02476, and 02532 walked 04043, and 02532 entered 01525 with 04862 them 0846 into 01519 the temple 02411, walking 04043, and 02532 leaping 0242, and 02532 praising 0134 God 02316.

⁹ And 02532 all 03956 the people 02992 saw 01492 him 0846 walking 04043 and 02532 praising 0134 God 02316:

¹⁰ And 05037 they knew 01921 that 03754 it 0846 was 02258 he 03778 who 03588 sat 02521 for 04314 alms 01654 at 01909 the Beautiful 05611 gate 04439 of the temple 02411: and 02532 they were filled 04130 with wonder 02285 and 02532 amazement 01611 at 01909 that which had happened 04819 to him 0846.

¹¹ And 01161 as the lame man 05560 who was healed 02390 held 02902 Peter 04074 and 02532 John 02491, all 03956 the people 02992 ran together 04936 to 04314 them 0846 in 01909 the porch 04745 that is called 02564 Solomon’s 04672, greatly wondering 01569.

¹² And 01161 when Peter 04074 saw 01492 it, he answered 0611 to 04314 the people 02992, Ye men 0435 of Israel 02475, why 05101 marvel ye 02296 at 01909 this 05129? or 02228 why 05101 look ye so earnestly 0816 on us 02254, as though 05613 by our own 02398 power 01411 or 02228 holiness 02150 we had made 04160 this man 0846 to walk 04043?

¹³ The God 02316 of Abraham 011, and 02532 of Isaac 02464, and 02532 of Jacob 02384, the God 02316 of our 02257 fathers 03962, hath glorified 01392 his 0846 Son 03816 Jesus 02424; whom 03739 ye 05210 delivered up 03860, and 02532 denied 0720 him 0846 in 02596 the presence 04383 of Pilate 04091, when he was determined 02919 to let 0630 him 01565go 0630.

¹⁴ But 01161 ye 05210 denied 0720 the Holy One 040 and 02532 the Just 01342, and 02532 desired 0154 a murderer 05406, 435 to be granted 05483 to you 05213;

¹⁵ And 01161 killed 0615 the Prince 0747 of life 02222, whom 03739 God 02316 hath raised 01453 from 01537 the dead 03498; to which 03739 we 02249 are 02070 witnesses 03144. Prince: or, Author

¹⁶ And 02532 his 0846 name 03686 through 01909 faith 04102 in his 0846 name 03686 hath made 04732 this man 05026 strong 04732, whom 03739 ye see 02334 and 02532 know 01492: yea 02532, the faith 04102 which is 01325 by 01223 him 0846 hath given 01325 him 0846 this 05126 perfect soundness 03647 in the presence 0561 of you 05216 all 03956.

¹⁷ And 02532 now 03568, brethren 080, I know 01492 that 03754 through 02596 ignorance 052 ye did 04238 it, as 05618 did also 02532 your 05216 rulers 0758.

¹⁸ But 01161 those things, which 03739 God 02316 before had shown 04293 by 01223 the mouth 04750 of all 03956 his 0846 prophets 04396, that Christ 05547 should suffer 03958, he hath 04137 so 03779 fulfilled 04137.

¹⁹ Repent ye 03340 therefore 03767, and 02532 be converted 01994, that 01519 your 05216 sins 0266 may be blotted out 01813, when 03704 the times 02540 of refreshing 0403 shall come 0302, 2064 from 0575 the presence 04383 of the Lord 02962;

²⁰ And 02532 he shall send 0649 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547, who before was preached 04296 to you 05213:

²¹ Whom 03739 the heaven 03772, 3303 must 01163 receive 01209 until 0891 the times 05550 of restitution 0605 of all things 03956, which 03739 God 02316 hath spoken 02980 by 01223 the mouth 04750 of all 03956 his 0846 holy 040 prophets 04396 since 0575 the world began 0165.

²² For 01063 Moses 03475 truly 03303 said 02036 to 04314 the fathers 03754, 3962, A prophet 04396 shall 0450 the Lord 02962 your 05216 God 02316 raise up 0450 to you 05213 of 01537 your 05216 brethren 080, like 05613 me 01691; him 0846 shall ye hear 0191 in 02596 all things 03956 whatever 03745, 302 he shall say 02980 to 04314 you 05209.

²³ And 01161 it shall come to pass 02071, that every 03956 soul 05590, who 03748, 302 will 0191 not 03361 hear 0191 that 01565 prophet 04396, shall be destroyed 01842 from among 01537 the people 02992.

²⁴ Yea 02532, and 01161 all 03956 the prophets 04396 also from 0575 Samuel 04545 and 02532 those that follow 02517, as many as 03745 have spoken 02980, have 04293 likewise 02532 foretold 04293 these 05025 days 02250.

²⁵ Ye 05210 are 02075 the children 05207 of the prophets 04396, and 02532 of the covenant 01242 which 03739 God 02316 made 01303 with 04314 our 02257 fathers 03962, saying 03004 to 04314 Abraham 011, And 02532 in thy 04675 seed 04690 shall 01757 all 03956 the kindreds 03965 of the earth 01093 be blessed 01757.

²⁶ To you 05213 first 04412 God 02316, having raised up 0450 his 0846 Son 03816 Jesus 02424, sent 0649 him 0846 to bless 02127 you 05209, in 01722 turning away 0654 each one 01538 of you 05216 from 0575 his iniquities 04189.

¹ And 01161 as they 0846 were speaking 02980 to 04314 the people 02992, the priests 02409, and 02532 the captain 04755 of the temple 02411, and 02532 the Sadducees 04523, came upon 02186 them 0846, captain: or, ruler

² Being grieved 01278 that 01223 they 0846 taught 01321 the people 02992, and 02532 preached 02605 through 01722 Jesus 02424 the resurrection 0386 from 01537 the dead 03498.

³ And 02532 they laid 01911 hands 05495 on them 0846, and 02532 put 05087 them in 01519 custody 05084 to 01519 the next day 0839: for 01063 it was 02258 now 02235 evening 02073.

⁴ But 01161 many 04183 of them who heard 0191 the word 03056 believed 04100; and 02532 the number 0706 of the men 0435 was 01096 about 05616 five 04002 thousand 05505.

⁵ And 01161 it came to pass 01096 on 01909 the next day 0839, that their 0846 rulers 0758, and 02532 elders 04245, and 02532 scribes 01122,

⁶ And 02532 Annas 0452 the high priest 0749, and 02532 Caiaphas 02533, and 02532 John 02491, and 02532 Alexander 0223, and 02532 as many as 03745 were 02258 of 01537 the kindred 01085 of the high priest 0748, were gathered together 04863 at 01519 Jerusalem 02419.

⁷ And 02532 when they had set 02476 them 0846 in 01722 the midst 03319, they asked 04441, By 01722 what 04169 power 01411, or 02228 by 01722 what 04169 name 03686, have 04160 ye 05210 done 04160 this 05124?

⁸ Then 05119 Peter 04074, filled 04130 with the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, said 02036 to 04314 them 0846, Ye rulers 0758 of the people 02992, and 02532 elders 04245 of Israel 02474,

⁹ If 01487 we 02249 this day 04594 are examined 0350 concerning 01909 the good deed done 02108 to the impotent 0772 man 0444, by 01722 what means 05101 he 03778 is made well 04982;

¹⁰ Be it 02077 known 01110 to you 05213 all 03956, and 02532 to all 03956 the people 02992 of Israel 02474, that 03754 by 01722 the name 03686 of Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 of Nazareth 03480, whom 03739 ye 05210 crucified 04717, whom 03739 God 02316 raised 01453 from 01537 the dead 03498, even by 01722 him 05129 doth 03936 this man 03778 stand here 03936 before 01799 you 05216 in good health 05199.

¹¹ This 03778 is 02076 the stone 03037 which 03588 was rejected 01848 by 05259 you 05216 builders 03618, which 03588 is become 01096 the head 02776 of 01519 the corner 01137.

¹² Neither 02532, 3756 is there 02076 salvation 04991 in 01722 any 03762 other 0243: for 01063 there is 02076 no 03777 other 02087 name 03686 under 05259 heaven 03772 given 01325 among 01722 men 0444, by 01722 which 03739 we 02248 must 01163 be saved 04982.

¹³ Now 01161 when they saw 02334 the boldness 03954 of Peter 04074 and 02532 John 02491, and 02532 perceived 02638 that 03754 they were 01526 unlearned 062 and 02532 ignorant 02399 men 0444, they marvelled 02296; and 05037 they took knowledge 01921 of them 0846, that 03754 they had been 02258 with 04862 Jesus 02424.

¹⁴ And 01161 beholding 0991 the man 0444 who was healed 02323 standing 02476 with 04862 them 0846, they could 02192 say 0471 nothing 03762 against it 0471.

¹⁵ But 01161 when they had commanded 02753 them 0846 to go aside 0565 out of 01854 the council 04892, they conferred 04820 among 04314 themselves 0240,

¹⁶ Saying 03004, What 05101 shall we do 04160 to these 05125 men 0444? for 01063 that 03754 indeed 03303 a notable 01110 miracle 04592 hath been done 01096 by 01223 them 0846 is apparent 05318 to all them 03956 that dwell 02730 in Jerusalem 02419; and 02532 we cannot 03756, 1410 deny 0720 it.

¹⁷ But 0235 that 03363 it may spread 01268 no 03363 further 01909, 4119 among 01519 the people 02992, let us strictly 0547 threaten 0546 them 0846, that they speak 02980 henceforth 03371 to no 03367 man 0444 in 01909 this 05129 name 03686.

¹⁸ And 02532 they called 02564 them 0846, and commanded 03853 them 0846 not 03361 to speak 05350 at all 02527 nor 03366 teach 01321 in 01909 the name 03686 of Jesus 02424.

¹⁹ But 01161 Peter 04074 and 02532 John 02491 answered 0611 and said 02036 to 04314 them 0846, Whether 01487 it is 02076 right 01342 in the sight 01799 of God 02316 to hearken 0191 to you 05216 rather than 03123, 2228 to God 02316, judge ye 02919.

²⁰ For 01063 we 02249 cannot 03756, 1410 but 03361 speak 02980 the things which 03739 we have seen 01492 and 02532 heard 0191.

²¹ So 01161 when they had further threatened them 04324, they let 0630 them 0846 go 0630, finding 02147 nothing 03367 how 04459 they might punish 02849 them 0846, because 01223 of the people 02992: for 03754 all 03956 men glorified 01392 God 02316 for 01909 that which was done 01096.

²² For 01063 the man 0444 was 02258 over 04119 forty 05062 years old 02094, on 01909 whom 03739 this 05124 miracle 04592 of healing 02392 was performed 01096.

²³ And 01161 being released 0630, they went 02064 to 04314 their own company 02398, and 02532 reported 0518 all 03745 that the chief priests 0749 and 02532 elders 04245 had said 02036 to 04314 them 0846.

²⁴ And 01161 when they heard that 0191, they lifted up 0142 their voice 05456 to 04314 God 02316 with one accord 03661, and 02532 said 02036, Lord 01203, thou 04771 art God 02316, who 03588 hast made 04160 heaven 03772, and 02532 earth 01093, and 02532 the sea 02281, and 02532 all 03956 that is in 01722 them 0846:

²⁵ Who 03588 by 01223 the mouth 04750 of thy 04675 servant 03816 David 01138 hast said 02036, Why 02444 did 05433 the heathen 01484 rage 05433, and 02532 the people 02992 imagine 03191 vain things 02756?

²⁶ The kings 0935 of the earth 01093 stood up 03936, and 02532 the rulers 0758 were gathered 04863 together 01909, 846 against 02596 the Lord 02962, and 02532 against 02596 his 0846 Christ 05547.

²⁷ For 01063 in 01909 truth 0225 against 01909 thy 04675 holy 040 child 03816 Jesus 02424, whom 03739 thou hast anointed 05548, both 05037 Herod 02264, and 02532 Pontius 04194 Pilate 04091, with 04862 the Gentiles 01484, and 02532 the people 02992 of Israel 02474, were gathered together 04863,

²⁸ To do 04160 whatever 03745 thy 04675 hand 05495 and 02532 thy 04675 counsel 01012 determined before 04309 to be done 01096.

²⁹ And 02532 now 03569, Lord 02962, behold 01896, 1909 their 0846 threatenings 0547: and 02532 grant to 01325 thy 04675 servants 01401, that with 03326 all 03956 boldness 03954 they may speak 02980 thy 04675 word 03056,

³⁰ By 01722, 4571 stretching forth 01614 thy 04675 hand 05495 to 01519 heal 02392; and 02532 that signs 04592 and 02532 wonders 05059 may be done 01096 by 01223 the name 03686 of thy 04675 holy 040 child 03816 Jesus 02424.

³¹ And 02532 when they 0846 had prayed 01189, the place 05117 was shaken 04531 where 01722, 3739 they were 02258 assembled 04863; and 02532 they were 04130 all 0537 filled 04130 with the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, and 02532 they spoke 02980 the word 03056 of God 02316 with 03326 boldness 03954.

³² And 01161 the multitude 04128 of them that believed 04100 were 02258 of one heart 02588 and 02532 of one 03391 soul 05590: neither 02532, 3761 said 03004 any 01520 of them that any 05100 of the things which he 0846 possessed 05224 was 01511 his own 02398; but 0235 they 0846 had 02258 all things 0537 in common 02839.

³³ And 02532 with great 03173 power 01411 the apostles 0652 gave 0591 witness 03142 of the resurrection 0386 of the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424: and 05037 great 03173 grace 05485 was 02258 upon 01909 them 0846 all 03956.

³⁴ Neither 03761, 1063 was 05225 there any 05100 among 01722 them 0846 that was needy 01729: for 01063 as many as 03745 were 05225 possessors 02935 of lands 05564 or 02228 houses 03614 sold them 04453, and brought 05342 the prices 05092 of the things that were sold 04097,

³⁵ And 02532 laid them down 05087 at 03844 the apostles 0652’ feet 04228: and 01161 distribution was made 01239 to every man 01538 according 02530 as 0302 he had 02192 need 05100, 5532.

³⁶ And 01161 Joses 02500, who 03588 by 05259 the apostles 0652 was surnamed 01941 Barnabas 0921, (which 03739 is 02076, being interpreted 03177, The son 05207 of consolation 03874,) a Levite 03019, and of the country 01085 of Cyprus 02953,

³⁷ Having 05225, 846 land 068, sold 04453 it, and brought 05342 the money 05536, and 02532 laid 05087 it at 03844 the apostles 0652’ feet 04228.

¹ But 01161 a certain 05100 man 0435 named 03686 Ananias 0367, with 04862 Sapphira 04551 his 0846 wife 01135, sold 04453 a possession 02933,

² And 02532 kept back 03557 part of 0575 the price 05092, his 0846 wife 01135 also 02532 knowing 04894 of it, and 02532 brought 05342 a certain 05100 part 03313, and laid 05087 it at 03844 the apostles 0652’ feet 04228.

³ But 01161 Peter 04074 said 02036, Ananias 0367, why 01302 hath Satan 04567 filled 04137 thy 04675 heart 02588, 4571 to lie 05574 to the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, and 02532 to keep back 03557 part of 0575 the price 05092 of the land 05564? to lie to: or, to deceive

⁴ While it remained 03306, was it not 03780 thy own 04671, 3306? and 02532 after it was sold 04097, was it not 05225 in 01722 thy own 04674 power 01849? why 05101, 3754 hast thou conceived 05087 this 05124 thing 04229 in 01722 thy 04675 heart 02588? thou hast 05574 not 03756 lied 05574 to men 0444, but 0235 to God 02316.

⁵ And 01161 Ananias 0367 hearing 0191 these 05128 words 03056 fell down 04098, and died 01634: and 02532 great 03173 fear 05401 came 01096 on 01909 all 03956 them that heard 0191 these things 05023.

⁶ And 01161 the young men 03501 arose 0450, wrapped 04958 him 0846 up 04958, and 02532 carried him out 01627, and buried 02290 him.

⁷ And 01161 it was 01096 about 05613 the space 01292 of three 05140 hours 05610 after 01292, when 02532 his 0846 wife 01135, not 03361 knowing 01492 what was done 01096, came in 01525.

⁸ And 01161 Peter 04074 answered 0611 to her 0846, Tell 02036 me 03427 whether 01487 ye sold 0591 the land 05564 for so much 05118? And 01161 she said 02036, Yea 03483, for so much 05118.

⁹ Then 01161 Peter 04074 said 02036 to 04314 her 0846, How 05101 is it that 03754 ye 05213 have agreed together 04856 to tempt 03985 the Spirit 04151 of the Lord 02962? behold 02400, the feet 04228 of them who have buried 02290 thy 04675 husband 0435 are at 01909 the door 02374, and 02532 shall carry 01627 thee 04571 out 01627.

¹⁰ Then 01161 she fell down 04098 immediately 03916 at 03844 his 0846 feet 04228, and 02532 died 01634: and 01161 the young men 03495 came in 01525, and found 02147 her 0846 dead 03498, and 02532, carrying her forth 01627, buried 02290 her by 04314 her 0846 husband 0435.

¹¹ And 02532 great 03173 fear 05401 came 01096 upon 01909 all 03650 the church 01577, and 02532 upon 01909 as many as 03956 heard 0191 these things 05023.

¹² And 01161 by 01223 the hands 05495 of the apostles 0652 were 01096 many 04183 signs 04592 and 02532 wonders 05059 wrought 01096 among 01722 the people 02992; (and 02532 they were 02258 all 0537 with one accord 03661 in 01722 Solomon’s 04672 porch 04745.

¹³ And 01161 of the rest 03062 dared 05111 no man 03762 join himself 02853 to them 0846: but 0235 the people 02992 magnified 03170 them 0846.

¹⁴ And 01161 believers 04100 were 04369 the more 03123 added 04369 to the Lord 02962, multitudes 04128 both 05037 of men 0435 and 02532 women 01135.)

¹⁵ So 05620 that they brought forth 01627 the sick 0772 into 02596 the streets 04113, and 02532 laid 05087 them on 01909 beds 02825 and 02532 couches 02895, that 02443 at the least 02579 the shadow 04639 of Peter 04074 passing by 02064 might overshadow 01982 some 05100 of them 0846. into…: or, in every street

¹⁶ 01161 There came 04905 also 02532 a multitude 04128 out of the surrounding cities 04172, 4038 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419, bringing 05342 sick 0772 persons, and 02532 them who were afflicted 03791 with 05259 unclean 0169 spirits 04151: and they 03748 were healed 02323 every one 0537.

¹⁷ Then 01161 the high priest 0749 rose up 0450, and 02532 all they 03956 that were with 04862 him 0846, (which 03588 is 05607 the sect 0139 of the Sadducees 04523,) and were filled 04130 with indignation 02205, indignation: or, envy

¹⁸ And 02532 laid 01911 their 0846 hands 05495 on 01909 the apostles 0652, and 02532 put 05087 them 0846 in 01722 the common 01219 prison 05084.

¹⁹ But 01161 the angel 032 of the Lord 02962 by 01223 night 03571 opened 0455 the prison 05438 doors 02374, and 05037 brought 01806 them 0846 forth 01806, and said 02036,

²⁰ Go 04198, stand 02476 and 02532 speak 02980 in 01722 the temple 02411 to the people 02992 all 03956 the words 04487 of this 05026 life 02222.

²¹ And 01161 when they heard 0191 that, they entered 01525 into 01519 the temple 02411 early in the morning 05259, 3722, and 02532 taught 01321. But 01161 the high priest 0749 came 03854, and 02532 they that were with 04862 him 0846, and called 04779 the council 04892 together 04779, and 02532 all 03956 the elders 01087 of the children 05207 of Israel 02474, and 02532 sent 0649 to 01519 the prison 01201 to have 071 them 0846 brought 071.

²² But 01161 when the officers 05257 came 03854, and found 02147 them 0846 not 03756 in 01722 the prison 05438, they returned 0390, and 01161 told 0518,

²³ Saying 03004, 3754, The prison 01201 truly 03303 we found 02147 shut 02808 with 01722 all 03956 safety 0803, and 02532 the keepers 05441 standing 02476 outside 01854 before 04253 the doors 02374: but 01161 when we had opened 0455, we found 02147 no man 03762 within 02080.

²⁴ Now 01161 when 05613, 5037 the high priest 02409 and 02532 the captain 04755 of the temple 02411 and 02532 the chief priests 0749 heard 0191 these 05128 things 03056, they were greatly perplexed 01280 about 04012 them 0846 as to what 0302, 5101 would come 01096 of this 05124.

²⁵ Then came 03854 one 05100 and 01161 told 0518 them 0846, saying 03004, 3754, Behold 02400, the men 0435 whom 03739 ye put 05087 in 01722 prison 05438 are 01526 standing 02476 in 01722 the temple 02411, and 02532 teaching 01321 the people 02992.

²⁶ Then 05119 went 0565 the captain 04755 with 04862 the officers 05257, and brought 071 them 0846 without 03756, 3326 violence 0970: for 01063 they feared 05399 the people 02992, lest 03363 they should have been stoned 03034.

²⁷ And 01161 when they had brought 071 them 0846, they set 02476 them before 01722 the council 04892: and 02532 the high priest 0749 asked 01905 them 0846,

²⁸ Saying 03004, Did 03853 we not 03756 strictly 03852 command 03853 you 05213 that ye should 01321 not 03361 teach 01321 in 01909 this 05129 name 03686? and 02532, behold 02400, ye have filled 04137 Jerusalem 02419 with your 05216 doctrine 01322, and 02532 intend 01014 to bring 01863 this 05127 man’s 0444 blood 0129 upon 01909 us 02248.

²⁹ Then 01161 Peter 04074 and 02532 the other apostles 0652 answered 0611 and said 02036, We ought 01163 to obey 03980 God 02316 rather 03123 than 02228 men 0444.

³⁰ The God 02316 of our 02257 fathers 03962 raised up 01453 Jesus 02424, whom 03739 ye 05210 slew 01315 and hanged 02910 on 01909 a tree 03586.

³¹ Him 05126 hath God 02316 exalted 05312 with his 0846 right hand 01188 to be a Prince 0747 and 02532 a Saviour 04990, to give 01325 repentance 03341 to Israel 02474, and 02532 forgiveness 0859 of sins 0266.

³² And 02532 we 02249 are 02070 his 0846 witnesses 03144 of these 05130 things 04487; and 02532 so is also 01161 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, whom 03739 God 02316 hath given 01325 to them that obey 03980 him 0846.

³³ When 01161 they heard 0191 that, they were cut 01282 to the heart, and 02532 took counsel 01011 to slay 0337 them 0846.

³⁴ Then 01161 stood up 0450 one 05100 in 01722 the council 04892, a Pharisee 05330, named 03686 Gamaliel 01059, a teacher of the law 03547, had in reputation 05093 among all 03956 the people 02992, and commanded 02753 to put 04160 the apostles 0652 forth 01854 a 05100 little time 01024;

³⁵ And 05037 said 02036 to 04314 them 0846, Ye men 0435 of Israel 02475, take heed 04337 to yourselves 01438 what 05101 ye intend 03195 to do 04238 concerning 01909 these 05125 men 0444.

³⁶ For 01063 before 04253 these 05130 days 02250 rose 0450 Theudas 02333, boasting 03004 himself 01438 to be 01511 somebody 05100; to whom 03739 a number 0706 of men 0435, about 05616 four hundred 05071, joined themselves 04347: who 03739 was slain 0337; and 02532 all 03956, as many as 03745 obeyed 03982 him 0846, were scattered 01262, and 02532 brought 01096 to 01519 nought 03762. obeyed: or, believed

³⁷ After 03326 this man 05126 rose 0450 Judas 02455 of Galilee 01057 in 01722 the days 02250 of the taxing 0582, and 02532 drew away 0868 many 02425 people 02992 after 03694 him 0846: he also 02548 perished 0622; and 02532 all 03956, even as many as 03745 obeyed 03982 him 0846, were dispersed 01287. obeyed: or, believed

³⁸ And 02532 now 03569 I say 03004 to you 05213, Stay away 0868 from 0575 these 05130 men 0444, and 02532 let 01439 them 0846 alone 01439: for 03754 if 01437 this 03778 counsel 01012 or 02228 this 05124 work 02041 is 05600 from 01537 men 0444, it will come to nothing 02647:

³⁹ But 01161 if 01487 it is 02076 from 01537 God 02316, ye cannot 03756, 1410 overthrow 02647 it 0846; lest perhaps 03379 ye be found 02147 even 02532 to fight against God 02314.

⁴⁰ And 01161 to him 0846 they assented 03982: and 02532 when they had called 04341 the apostles 0652, and beaten 01194 them, they commanded 03853 that they should 02980 not 03361 speak 02980 in 01909 the name 03686 of Jesus 02424, and 02532 let 0630 them 0846 go 0630.

⁴¹ And 03767 they departed 04198, 3303 from 0575 the presence 04383 of the council 04892, rejoicing 05463 that 03754 they were counted worthy 02661 to suffer shame 0818 for 05228 his 0846 name 03686.

⁴² And 05037 daily 02250, 3956 in 01722 the temple 02411, and 02532 in every 02596 house 03624, they ceased 03973 not 03756 to teach 01321 and 02532 preach 02097 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547.

6

¹ And 01161 in 01722 those 05025 days 02250, when the number 04129 of the disciples 03101 was multiplied 04129, there arose 01096 a murmuring 01112 of the Grecians 01675 against 04314 the Hebrews 01445, because 03754 their 0846 widows 05503 were neglected 03865 in 01722 the daily 02522 ministration 01248.

² Then 01161 the twelve 01427 called 04341 the multitude 04128 of the disciples 03101, and said 02036, It is 02076 not 03756 desirable 0701 that we 02248 should leave 02641 the word 03056 of God 02316, and serve 01247 tables 05132.

³ Therefore 03767, brethren 080, look ye out 01980 among 01537 you 05216 seven 02033 men 0435 of honest report 03140, full 04134 of the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 and 02532 wisdom 04678, whom 03739 we may appoint 02525 over 01909 this 05026 business 05532.

⁴ But 01161 we 02249 will give ourselves continually 04342 to prayer 04335, and 02532 to the ministry 01248 of the word 03056.

⁵ And 02532 the saying 03056 pleased 0700, 1799 the whole 03956 multitude 04128: and 02532 they chose 01586 Stephen 04736, a man 0435 full 04134 of faith 04102 and 02532 of the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, and 02532 Philip 05376, and 02532 Prochorus 04402, and 02532 Nicanor 03527, and 02532 Timon 05096, and 02532 Parmenas 03937, and 02532 Nicolas 03532 a proselyte 04339 of Antioch 0491:

⁶ Whom 03739 they set 02476 before 01799 the apostles 0652: and 02532 when they had prayed 04336, they laid 02007 their hands 05495 on 02007 them 0846.

⁷ And 02532 the word 03056 of God 02316 increased 0837; and 02532 the number 0706 of the disciples 03101 multiplied 04129 in 01722 Jerusalem 02419 greatly 04970; and 05037 a great 04183 company 03793 of the priests 02409 were obedient 05219 to the faith 04102.

⁸ And 01161 Stephen 04736, full 04134 of faith 04102 and 02532 power 01411, performed 04160 great 03173 wonders 05059 and 02532 miracles 04592 among 01722 the people 02992.

⁹ Then 01161 there arose 0450 certain 05100 of 01537 the synagogue 04864, which 03588 is called 03004 the synagogue of the Libertines 03032, and 02532 Cyrenians 02956, and 02532 Alexandrians 0221, and 02532 of them of 0575 Cilicia 02791 and 02532 of Asia 0773, disputing 04802 with Stephen 04736.

¹⁰ And 02532 they were 02480 not 03756 able 02480 to resist 0436 the wisdom 04678 and 02532 the spirit 04151 by which 03739 he spoke 02980.

¹¹ Then 05119 they secretly induced 05260 men 0435, who sayd 03004, 3754, We have heard 0191 him 0846 speak 02980 blasphemous 0989 words 04487 against 01519 Moses 03475, and 02532 against God 02316.

¹² And 05037 they stirred up 04787 the people 02992, and 02532 the elders 04245, and 02532 the scribes 01122, and 02532 came upon 02186 him, and caught 04884 him 0846, and 02532 brought 071 him to 01519 the council 04892,

¹³ And 05037 set up 02476 false 05571 witnesses 03144, who said 03004, This 05127 man 0444 ceaseth 03973 not 03756 to speak 02980 blasphemous 0989 words 04487 against 02596 this 03778 holy 040 place 05117, and 02532 the law 03551:

¹⁴ For 01063 we have heard 0191 him 0846 say 03004, that 03754 this 05126 Jesus 02424 of Nazareth 03480 shall destroy 02647 this 03778 place 05117, and 02532 shall change 0236 the customs 01485 which 03739 Moses 03475 delivered 03860 to us 02254. customs: or, rites

¹⁵ And 02532 all 0537 that sat 02516 in 01722 the council 04892, looking steadfastly 0816 on 01519 him 0846, saw 01492 his 0846 face 04383 as it had been 05616 the face 04383 of an angel 032.

¹ Then 01161 said 02036 the high priest 0749, Are 01487, 686, 2192 these things 05023 so 03779?

² And 01161 he said 05346, Men 0435, brethren 080, and 02532 fathers 03962, hearken 0191; The God 02316 of glory 01391 appeared 03700 to our 02257 father 03962 Abraham 011, when he was 05607 in 01722 Mesopotamia 03318, before 04250, 2228 he 0846 dwelt 02730 in 01722 Haran 05488,

³ And 02532 said 02036 to 04314 him 0846, Depart 01831 from 01537 thy 04675 country 01093, and 02532 from 01537 thy 04675 kindred 04772, and 02532 come 01204 into 01519 the land 01093 which 03739, 302 I shall show 01166 thee 04671.

⁴ Then 05119 he came 01831 from 01537 the land 01093 of the Chaldeans 05466, and dwelt 02730 in 01722 Haran 05488: and from there 02547, when 03326 his 0846 father 03962 was dead 0599, he removed 03351 him 0846 into 01519 this 05026 land 01093, in 01519 which 03739 ye 05210 now 03568 dwell 02730.

⁵ And 02532 he gave 01325 him 0846 no 03756 inheritance 02817 in 01722 it 0846, no, not 03761 so much as to set 0968 his foot 04228 on 0968: yet 02532 he promised 01861 that he would give 01325 it 0846 to him 0846 for 01519 a possession 02697, and 02532 to his 0846 offspring 04690 after 03326 him 0846, when as yet he 0846 had 05607 no 03756 child 05043.

⁶ And 01161 God 02316 spoke 02980 in this way 03779, That 03754 his 0846 offspring 04690 should 02071 sojourn 03941 in 01722 a foreign 0245 land 01093; and 02532 that they should bring 01402 them 0846 into bondage 01402, and 02532 oppress them 02559 four hundred 05071 years 02094.

⁷ And 02532 the nation 01484 to whom 03739, 1437 they shall be in bondage 01398 will 02919 I 01473 judge 02919, said 02036 God 02316: and 02532 after 03326 that 05023 they shall come forth 01831, and 02532 serve 03000 me 03427 in 01722 this 05129 place 05117.

⁸ And 02532 he gave 01325 him 0846 the covenant 01242 of circumcision 04061: and 02532 so 03779 Abraham begat 01080 Isaac 02464, and 02532 circumcised 04059 him 0846 the eighth 03590 day 02250; and 02532 Isaac 02464 begat Jacob 02384; and 02532 Jacob 02384 begat the twelve 01427 patriarchs 03966.

⁹ And 02532 the patriarchs 03966, moved with envy 02206, sold 0591 Joseph 02501 into 01519 Egypt 0125: but 02532 God 02316 was 02258 with 03326 him 0846,

¹⁰ And 02532 delivered 01807 him 0846 from 01537 all 03956 his 0846 afflictions 02347, and 02532 gave 01325 him 0846 favour 05485 and 02532 wisdom 04678 in the sight 01726 of Pharaoh 05328 king 0935 of Egypt 0125; and 02532 he made 02525 him 0846 governor 02233 over 01909 Egypt 0125 and 02532 all 03650 his 0846 house 03624.

¹¹ Now 01161 there came 02064 a famine 03042 over 01909 all 03650 the land 01093 of Egypt 0125 and 02532 Canaan 05477, and 02532 great 03173 affliction 02347: and 02532 our 02257 fathers 03962 found 02147 no 03756 sustenance 05527.

¹² But 01161 when Jacob 02384 heard 0191 that there was 05607 grain 04621 in 01722 Egypt 0125, he sent out 01821 our 02257 fathers 03962 first 04412.

¹³ And 02532 at 01722 the second 01208 time Joseph 02501 was made known 0319 to his 0846 brethren 080; and 02532 Joseph’s 02501 kindred 01085 was made 01096 known 05318 to Pharaoh 05328.

¹⁴ Then 01161 Joseph 02501 sent 0649, and called 03333 his 0846 father 03962 Jacob 02384 to him, and 02532 all 03956 his 0846 kindred 01722, 4772, seventy and five 01440, 4002 souls 05590.

¹⁵ So 01161 Jacob 02384 went down 02597 into 01519 Egypt 0125, and 02532 died 05053, he 0846, and 02532 our 02257 fathers 03962,

¹⁶ And 02532 were carried over 03346 into 01519 Shechem 04966, and 02532 laid 05087 in 01722 the sepulchre 03418 that 03739 Abraham 011 bought 05608 for a sum 05092 of money 0694 of 03844 the sons 05207 of Emmor 01697 the father 03588 of Shechem 04966.

¹⁷ But 01161 when 02531 the time 05550 of the promise 01860 drew near 01448, which 03739 God 02316 had sworn 03660 to Abraham 011, the people 02992 grew 0837 and 02532 multiplied 04129 in 01722 Egypt 0125,

¹⁸ Till 0891, 3739 another 02087 king 0935 arose 0450, who 03739 knew 01492 not 03756 Joseph 02501.

¹⁹ The same 03778 dealt treacherously 02686 with our 02257 kindred 01085, and oppressed 02559 our 02257 fathers 03962, so that 04160 they cast out 01570 their 0846 young children 01025, to the end 01519 they might 02225 not 03361 live 02225.

²⁰ In 01722 which 03739 time 02540 Moses 03475 was born 01080, and 02532 was 02258 exceeding 02316 fair 0791, and 03739 nourished 0397 in 01722 his 0846 father’s 03962 house 03624 three 05140 months 03376: exceeding fair: or, fair to God

²¹ And 01161 when he 0846 was cast out 01620, Pharaoh’s 05328 daughter 02364 took 0337 him 0846 up 0337, and 02532 nourished 0397 him 0846 for 01519 her own 01438 son 05207.

²² And 02532 Moses 03475 was learned 03811 in all 03956 the wisdom 04678 of the Egyptians 0124, and 01161 was 02258 mighty 01415 in 01722 words 03056 and 02532 in 01722 deeds 02041.

²³ And 01161 when 05613 he 0846 was full 04137 forty years 05063 old 05550, it came 0305 into 01909 his 0846 heart 02588 to visit 01980 his 0846 brethren 080 the children 05207 of Israel 02474.

²⁴ And 02532 seeing 01492 one 05100 of them suffer wrong 091, he defended 0292 him, and 02532 avenged 01557, 4160 him that was oppressed 02669, and smote 03960 the Egyptian 0124:

²⁵ For 01161 he supposed 03543 his 0846 brethren 080 to understand 04920, 3754 that God 02316 by 01223 his 0846 hand 05495 would deliver 01325, 4991 them 0846: but 01161 they understood 04920 not 03756. For: or, Now

²⁶ And 05037 the next 01966 day 02250 he showed himself 03700 to them 0846 as they were fighting 03164, and 02532 would have constrained 04900 them 0846 to be at 01519 peace again 01515, saying 02036, Sirs 0435, ye 05210 are 02075 brethren 080; why 02444 do ye wrong 091 one to another 0240?

²⁷ But 01161 he that did 091 his neighbour 04139 wrong 091 thrust 0683 him 0846 away 0683, saying 02036, Who 05101 made 02525 thee 04571 a ruler 0758 and 02532 a judge 01348 over 01909 us 02248?

²⁸ Wilt 03361, 2309 thou 04771 kill 0337 me 03165, as 03739, 5158 thou didst 0337 the Egyptian 0124 yesterday 05504?

²⁹ Then 01161 Moses 03475 fled 05343 at 01722 this 05129 saying 03056, and 02532 was 01096 a stranger 03941 in 01722 the land 01093 of Midian 03099, where 03757 he begat 01080 two 01417 sons 05207.

³⁰ And 02532 when forty 05062 years 02094 had passed 04137, there appeared 03700 to him 0846 in 01722 the wilderness 02048 of mount 03735 Sinai 04614 an angel 032 of the Lord 02962 in 01722 a flame 05395 of fire 04442 in a bush 0942.

³¹ When 01161 Moses 03475 saw 01492 it, he wondered 02296 at the sight 03705: and 01161 as he 0846 drew near 04334 to behold 02657 it, the voice 05456 of the Lord 02962 came 01096 to 04314 him 0846,

³² Saying, I 01473 am the God 02316 of thy 04675 fathers 03962, the God 02316 of Abraham 011, and 02532 the God 02316 of Isaac 02464, and 02532 the God 02316 of Jacob 02384. Then 01161 Moses 03475 trembled 01096, 1790, and dared 05111 not 03756 behold 02657.

³³ Then 01161 said 02036 the Lord 02962 to him 0846, Put off 03089 thy shoes 05266 from thy 04675 feet 04228: for 01063 the place 05117 where 01722, 3739 thou standest 02476 is 02076 holy 040 ground 01093.

³⁴ I have seen 01492, I have seen 01492 the affliction 02561 of my 03450 people 02992 who 03588 are in 01722 Egypt 0125, and 02532 I have heard 0191 their 0846 groaning 04726, and 02532 am come down 02597 to deliver 01807 them 0846. And 02532 now 03568 come 01204, I will send 0649 thee 04571 into 01519 Egypt 0125.

³⁵ This 05126 Moses 03475 whom 03739 they refused 0720, saying 02036, Who 05101 made 02525 thee 04571 a ruler 0758 and 02532 a judge 01348? the same 05126 did God 02316 send 0649 to be a ruler 0758 and 02532 a deliverer 03086 by 01722 the hand 05495 of the angel 032 who 03588 appeared 03700 to him 0846 in 01722 the bush 0942.

³⁶ He 03778 brought 01806 them 0846 out 01806, after he had showed 04160 wonders 05059 and 02532 signs 04592 in 01722 the land 01093 of Egypt 0125, and 02532 in 01722 the Red 02063 sea 02281, and 02532 in 01722 the wilderness 02048 forty 05062 years 02094.

³⁷ This 03778 is 02076 that Moses 03475, who 03588 said 02036 to the children 05207 of Israel 02474, A prophet 04396 shall 0450 the Lord 02962 your 05216 God 02316 raise up 0450 to you 05213 of 01537 your 05216 brethren 080, like 05613 me 01691; him 0846 shall ye hear 0191. like…: or, as myself

³⁸ This 03778 is he 02076, that was 01096 in 01722 the church 01577 in 01722 the wilderness 02048 with 03326 the angel 032 who 03588 spoke 02980 to him 0846 on 01722 the mount 03735 Sinai 04614, and 02532 with our 02257 fathers 03962: who 03739 received 01209 the living 02198 oracles 03051 to give 01325 to us 02254:

³⁹ Whom 03739 our 02257 fathers 03962 would 02309 not 03756 obey 01096, 5255, but 0235 thrust him from them 0683, and 02532 in their 0846 hearts 02588 turned back again 04762 into 01519 Egypt 0125,

⁴⁰ Saying 02036 to Aaron 02, Make 04160 us 02254 gods 02316 to 03739 go before 04313 us 02257: for 01063 as for this 03778 Moses 03475, who 03739 brought 01806 us 02248 out of 01537 the land 01093 of Egypt 0125, we know 01492 not 03756 what 05101 is become 01096 of him 0846.

⁴¹ And 02532 they made a calf 03447 in 01722 those 01565 days 02250, and 02532 offered 0321 sacrifice 02378 to the idol 01497, and 02532 rejoiced 02165 in 01722 the works 02041 of their own 0846 hands 05495.

⁴² Then 01161 God 02316 turned 04762, and 02532 gave 03860 them 0846 up 03860 to worship 03000 the host 04756 of heaven 03772; as it 02531 is written 01125 in 01722 the book 0976 of the prophets 04396, O ye house 03624 of Israel 02474, have ye offered 03361, 4374 to me 03427 slain beasts 04968 and 02532 sacrifices 02378 for forty 05062 years 02094 in 01722 the wilderness 02048?

⁴³ Yea 02532, ye took up 0353 the tabernacle 04633 of Molech 03434, and 02532 the star 0798 of your 05216 god 02316 Remphan 04481, figures 05179 which 03739 ye made 04160 to worship 04352 them 0846: and 02532 I will carry 03351 you 05209 away 03351 beyond 01900 Babylon 0897.

⁴⁴ Our 02257 fathers 03962 had 02258 the tabernacle 04633 of testimony 03142, 1722 in 01722 the wilderness 02048, as 02531 he had appointed 01299, speaking 02980 to Moses 03475, that he should make 04160 it 0846 according 02596 to the fashion 05179 that 03739 he had seen 03708. speaking: or, who spake

⁴⁵ Which 03739 also 02532 our 02257 fathers 03962 that came 01237 after brought in 01521 with 03326 Joshua 02424 into 01722 the possession 02697 of the Gentiles 01484, whom 03739 God 02316 drove out 01856 before 0575 the face 04383 of our 02257 fathers 03962, to 02193 the days 02250 of David 01138; that…: or, having received

⁴⁶ Who 03739 found 02147 favour 05485 before 01799 God 02316, and 02532 desired 0154 to find 02147 a tabernacle 04638 for the God 02316 of Jacob 02384.

⁴⁷ But 01161 Solomon 04672 built 03618 for him 0846 an house 03624.

⁴⁸ Yet 0235 the most High 05310 dwelleth 02730 not 03756 in 01722 temples 03485 made with hands 05499; as 02531 saith 03004 the prophet 04396,

⁴⁹ Heaven 03772 is my 03427 throne 02362, and 01161 earth 01093 is my 03450 footstool 04228, 5286: what 04169 house 03624 will ye build 03618 for me 03427? saith 03004 the Lord 02962: or 02228 what 05101 is the place 05117 of my 03450 rest 02663?

⁵⁰ Hath 04160 not 03780 my 03450 hand 05495 made 04160 all 03956 these things 05023?

⁵¹ Ye stiffnecked 04644 and 02532 uncircumcised 0564 in heart 02588 and 02532 ears 03775, ye 05210 do 0496 always 0104 resist 0496 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151: as 05613 your 05216 fathers 03962 did, so 02532 do ye 05210.

⁵² Which 05101 of the prophets 04396 have 01377 not 03756 your 05216 fathers 03962 persecuted 01377? and 02532 they have slain 0615 them who 03588 showed before 04293 of 04012 the coming 01660 of the Just One 01342; of whom 03739 ye 05210 have been 01096 now 03568 the betrayers 04273 and 02532 murderers 05406:

⁵³ Who 03748 have received 02983 the law 03551 by 01519 the disposition 01296 of angels 032, and 02532 have 05442 not 03756 kept 05442 it.

⁵⁴ When 01161 they heard 0191 these things 05023, they were cut 01282 to the heart 02588, 846, and 02532 they gnashed 01031 on 01909 him 0846 with their teeth 03599.

⁵⁵ But 01161 he, being 05225 full 04134 of the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, looked up steadfastly 0816 into 01519 heaven 03772, and saw 01492 the glory 01391 of God 02316, and 02532 Jesus 02424 standing 02476 on 01537 the right hand 01188 of God 02316,

⁵⁶ And 02532 said 02036, Behold 02400, I see 02334 the heavens 03772 opened 0455, and 02532 the Son 05207 of man 0444 standing 02476 on 01537 the right hand 01188 of God 02316.

⁵⁷ Then 01161 they cried out 02896 with a loud 03173 voice 05456, and stopped 04912 their 0846 ears 03775, and 02532 ran 03729 upon 01909 him 0846 with one accord 03661,

⁵⁸ And 02532 cast 01544 him out of 01854 the city 04172, and stoned 03036 him: and 02532 the witnesses 03144 laid down 0659 their 0846 clothes 02440 at 03844 a young man’s 03494 feet 04228, whose name was 02564 Saul 04569.

⁵⁹ And 02532 they stoned 03036 Stephen 04736, calling upon 01941 God, and 02532 saying 03004, Lord 02962 Jesus 02424, receive 01209 my 03450 spirit 04151.

⁶⁰ And 01161 he kneeled down 05087, 1119, and cried 02896 with a loud 03173 voice 05456, Lord 02962, lay 02476 not 03361 this 05026 sin 0266 to their 0846 charge. And 02532 when he had said 02036 this 05124, he fell asleep 02837.

¹ And 01161 Saul 04569 was 02258 consenting 04909 to his 0846 death 0336. And 01161 at 01722 that 01565 time 02250 there was 01096 a great 03173 persecution 01375 against 01909 the church 01577 which 03588 was at 01722 Jerusalem 02414; and 05037 they were 01289 all 03956 scattered 01289 throughout 02596 the regions 05561 of Judaea 02449 and 02532 Samaria 04540, except 04133 the apostles 0652.

² And 01161 devout 02126 men 0435 carried 04792 Stephen 04736 to his burial, and 02532 made 04160 great 03173 lamentation 02870 over 01909 him 0846.

³ As 01161 for Saul 04569, he made havoc 03075 of the church 01577, entering into 01531 every 02596 house 03624, and dragging off 04951, 5037 men 0435 and 02532 women 01135 committed 03860 them to 01519 prison 05438.

⁴ Therefore 03767, 3303 they that were scattered 01289 went every where 01330 preaching 02097 the word 03056.

⁵ Then 01161 Philip 05376 went down 02718 to 01519 the city 04172 of Samaria 04540, and preached 02784 Christ 05547 to them 0846.

⁶ And 05037 the people 03793 with one accord 03661 gave heed 04337 to those things which Philip 05376 spoke 03004, 5259, hearing 01722, 191, 846 and 02532 seeing 0991 the miracles 04592 which 03739 he was performing 04160.

⁷ For 01063 unclean 0169 spirits 04151, crying 0994 with loud 03173 voice 05456, came out 01831 of many 04183 that were possessed 02192 and 01161 many 04183 sick with palsies 03886, and 02532 that were lame 05560, were healed 02323.

⁸ And 02532 there was 01096 great 03173 joy 05479 in 01722 that 01565 city 04172.

⁹ But 01161 there was a certain 05100 man 0435, called 03686 Simon 04613, who before 04391 in 01722 the same city 04172 used sorcery 03096, and 02532 bewitched 01839 the people 01484 of Samaria 04540, saying 03004 that he 01438 was 01511 some 05100 great person 03173:

¹⁰ To whom 03739 they all 03956 gave heed 04337, from 0575 the least 03398 to 02193 the greatest 03173, saying 03004, This man 03778 is 02076 the great 03173 power 01411 of God 02316.

¹¹ And 01161 to him 0846 they had regard 04337, because 01223 that for a long 02425 time 05550 he had bewitched 01839 them 0846 with sorceries 03095.

¹² But 01161 when 03753 they believed 04100 Philip 05376 preaching 02097 the things concerning 04012 the kingdom 0932 of God 02316, and 02532 the name 03686 of Jesus 02424 Christ 05547, they were baptized 0907, both 05037 men 0435 and 02532 women 01135.

¹³ Then 01161 Simon 04613 himself 0846 believed 04100 also 02532: and 02532 when he was baptized 0907, he continued 02258, 4342 with Philip 05376, and 05037 was amazed 01839, beholding 02334 the miracles 01411 and 02532 signs 04592, 3173 which were done 01096. miracles…: Gr. signs and great miracles

¹⁴ Now 01161 when the apostles 0652 who 03588 were at 01722 Jerusalem 02414 heard 0191 that 03754 Samaria 04540 had received 01209 the word 03056 of God 02316, they sent 0649 to 04314 them 0846 Peter 04074 and 02532 John 02491:

¹⁵ Who 03748, when they had come down 02597, prayed 04336 for 04012 them 0846, that 03704 they might receive 02983 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151:

¹⁶ (For 01063 as yet 03768 he had 02258 fallen 01968 upon 01909 none 03762 of them 0846: only 03440, 1161 they were 05225 baptized 0907 in 01519 the name 03686 of the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424.)

¹⁷ Then 05119 they laid 02007 their hands 05495 on 01909 them 0846, and 02532 they received 02983 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151.

¹⁸ And 01161 when Simon 04613 saw 02300 that 03754 through 01223 laying on 01936 of the apostles 0652’ hands 05495 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 was given 01325, he offered 04374 them 0846 money 05536,

¹⁹ Saying 03004, Give 01325 me also 02504 this 05026 power 01849, that 02443 on 02007 whomever 03739, 1437 I lay 02007 hands 05495, he may receive 02983 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151.

²⁰ But 01161 Peter 04074 said 02036 to 04314 him 0846, Thy 04675 money 0694 perish 01498, 1519, 684 with 04862 thee 04671, because 03754 thou hast thought 03543 that the gift 01431 of God 02316 may be purchased 02932 with 01223 money 05536.

²¹ Thou 04671 hast 02076 neither 03756 part 03310 nor 03761 lot 02819 in 01722 this 05129 matter 03056: for 01063 thy 04675 heart 02588 is 02076 not 03756 right 02117 in the sight 01799 of God 02316.

²² Repent 03340 therefore 03767 of 0575 this 05026 thy 04675 wickedness 02549, and 02532 pray 01189 God 02316, if 01487 perhaps 0686 the thought 01963 of thy 04675 heart 02588 may be forgiven 0863 thee 04671.

²³ For 01063 I perceive 03708 that thou 04571 art 05607 in 01519 the gall 05521 of bitterness 04088, and 02532 in the bond 04886 of iniquity 093.

²⁴ Then 01161 answered 0611 Simon 04613, and said 02036, Pray 01189 ye 05210 to 04314 the Lord 02962 for 05228 me 01700, that 03704 none of these things 03367 which 03739 ye have spoken 02046 come 01904 upon 01909 me 01691.

²⁵ And they, when 03303, 3767 they had testified 01263 and 02532 preached 02980 the word 03056 of the Lord 02962, returned 05290 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419, and 05037 preached the gospel 02097 in many 04183 villages 02968 of the Samaritans 04541.

²⁶ And 01161 the angel 032 of the Lord 02962 spoke 02980 to 04314 Philip 05376, saying 03004, Arise 0450, and 02532 go 04198 toward 02596 the south 03314 to 01909 the way 03598 that goeth down 02597 from 0575 Jerusalem 02419 to 01519 Gaza 01048, which 03778 is 02076 desert 02048.

²⁷ And 02532 he arose 0450 and went 04198: and 02532, behold 02400, a man 0435 of Ethiopia 0128, an eunuch 02135 of great authority 01413 under Candace 02582 queen 0938 of the Ethiopians 0128, who 03739 had 02258 the charge of 01909 all 03956 her 0846 treasure 01047, and 03739 had come 02064 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419 to worship 04352,

²⁸ 05037 Was 02258 returning 05290, and 02532 sitting 02521 in 01909 his 0846 chariot 0716, 2532 read 0314 Isaiah 02268 the prophet 04396.

²⁹ Then 01161 the Spirit 04151 said 02036 to Philip 05376, Go near 04334, and 02532 join thyself to 02853 this 05129 chariot 0716.

³⁰ And 01161 Philip 05376 ran 04370 to him, and heard 0191 him 0846 reading 0314 the prophet 04396 Isaiah 02268, and 02532 said 02036, Understandest thou 0687, 1065, 1097 what 03739 thou readest 0314?

³¹ And 01161 he said 02036, How 01063, 4459 can I 0302, 1410, except 03362 some man 05100 should guide 03594 me 03165? And 05037 he besought 03870 Philip 05376 that he would come up 0305 and sit 02523 with 04862 him 0846.

³² 01161 The place 04042 of the scripture 01124 which 03739 he read 0314 was 02258 this 03778, He was led 071 as 05613 a sheep 04263 to 01909 the slaughter 04967; and 02532 like 05613 a lamb 0286 dumb 0880 before 01726 his 0846 shearer 02751, so 03779 he opened 0455 not 03756 his 0846 mouth 04750:

³³ In 01722 his 0846 humiliation 05014 his 0846 judgment 02920 was taken away 0142: and 01161 who 05101 shall declare 01334 his 0846 generation 01074? for 03754 his 0846 life 02222 is taken 0142 from 0575 the earth 01093.

³⁴ And 01161 the eunuch 02135 answered 0611 Philip 05376, and said 02036, I pray 01189 thee 04675, of 04012 whom 05101 speaketh 03004 the prophet 04396 this 05124? of 04012 himself 01438, or 02228 of 04012 some 05100 other man 02087?

³⁵ Then 01161 Philip 05376 opened 0455 his 0846 mouth 04750, and 02532 began 0756 at 0575 the same 05026 scripture 01124, and preached 02097 to him 0846 Jesus 02424.

³⁶ And 01161 as 05613 they went 04198 on 02596 their way 03598, they came 02064 to 01909 a certain 05100 water 05204: and 02532 the eunuch 02135 said 05346, See 02400, here is water 05204; what 05101 doth hinder 02967 me 03165 to be baptized 0907?

³⁷ And 01161 Philip 05376 said 02036, If 01487 thou believest 04100 with 01537 all thy 03650 heart 02588, thou mayest 01832. And 01161 he answered 0611 and said 02036, I believe 04100 that Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 is 01511 the Son 05207 of God 02316.

³⁸ And 02532 he commanded 02753 the chariot 0716 to stand still 02476: and 02532 they both 0297 went down 02597 into 01519 the water 05204, both 05037 Philip 05376 and 02532 the eunuch 02135; and 02532 he baptized 0907 him 0846.

³⁹ And 01161 when 03753 they had come up 0305 out of 01537 the water 05204, the Spirit 04151 of the Lord 02962 caught away 0726 Philip 02532, 5376, that the eunuch 02135 saw 01492, 3756 him 0846 no more 03765: and 01063 he went 04198 on his 0846 way 03598 rejoicing 05463.

⁴⁰ But 01161 Philip 05376 was found 02147 at 01519 Azotus 0108: and 02532 passing 01330 through he preached 02097 in all 03956 the cities 04172, till 02193 he 0846 came 02064 to 01519 Caesarea 02542.

¹ And 01161 Saul 04569, yet 02089 breathing out 01709 threatenings 0547 and 02532 slaughter 05408 against 01519 the disciples 03101 of the Lord 02962, went 04334 to the high priest 0749,

² And desired 0154 from 03844 him 0846 letters 01992 to 01519 Damascus 01154 to 04314 the synagogues 04864, that 03704 if 01437 he found 02147 any 05100 of this way 03598, whether 05037 they were 05607 men 0435 or 02532 women 01135, he might bring them 071 bound 01210 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419. of this way: Gr. of the way

³ And 01161 as he 0846 journeyed 04198, 1722, he came 01096 near 01448 Damascus 01154: and 02532 suddenly 01810 there shone around 04015 him 0846 a light 05457 from 0575 heaven 03772:

⁴ And 02532 he fell 04098 to 01909 the earth 01093, and heard 0191 a voice 05456 saying 03004 to him 0846, Saul 04549, Saul 04549, why 05101 persecutest thou 01377 me 03165?

⁵ And 01161 he said 02036, Who 05101 art thou 01488, Lord 02962? And 01161 the Lord 02962 said 02036, I 01473 am 01510 Jesus 02424 whom 03739 thou 04771 persecutest 01377: it is hard 04642 for thee 04671 to kick 02979 against 04314 the goads 02759.

⁶ And 05037 he trembling 05141 and 02532 astonished 02284 said 02036, Lord 02962, what 05101 wilt thou have 02309 me 03165 to do 04160? And 02532 the Lord 02962 said to 04314 him 0846, Arise 0450, and 02532 go 01525 into 01519 the city 04172, and 02532 it shall be told 02980 thee 04671 what 05101 thou 04571 must 01163 do 04160.

⁷ And 01161 the men 0435 who 03588 journeyed 04922 with him 0846 stood 02476 speechless 01769, hearing 0191, 3303 a voice 05456, but 01161 seeing 02334 no man 03367.

⁸ And 01161 Saul 04569 arose 01453 from 0575 the earth 01093; and 01161 when his 0846 eyes 03788 were opened 0455, he saw 0991 no man 03762: but 01161 they led 05496 him 0846 by the hand 05496, and brought 01521 him into 01519 Damascus 01154.

⁹ And 02532 he was 02258 three 05140 days 02250 without 03361 sight 0991, and 02532 neither 03756 ate 05315 nor 03761 drank 04095.

¹⁰ And 01161 there was 02258 a certain 05100 disciple 03101 at 01722 Damascus 01154, named 03686 Ananias 0367; and 02532 to 04314 him 0846 said 02036 the Lord 02962 in 01722 a vision 03705, Ananias 0367. And 01161 he said 02036, Behold 02400, I 01473 am here, Lord 02962.

¹¹ And 01161 the Lord 02962 said to 04314 him 0846, Arise 0450, and go 04198 into 01909 the street 04505 which 03588 is called 02564 Straight 02117, and 02532 enquire 02212 in 01722 the house 03614 of Judas 02455 for one called 03686 Saul 04569, of Tarsus 05018: for 01063, behold 02400, he prayeth 04336,

¹² And 02532 hath seen 01492 in 01722 a vision 03705 a man 0435 named 03686 Ananias 0367 coming in 01525, and 02532 putting 02007 his hand 05495 on 02007 him 0846, that 03704 he might receive his sight 0308.

¹³ Then 01161 Ananias 0367 answered 0611, Lord 02962, I have heard 0191 by 0575 many 04183 of 04012 this 05127 man 0435, how much 03745 evil 02556 he hath done 04160 to thy 04675 saints 040 at 01722 Jerusalem 02419:

¹⁴ And 02532 here 05602 he hath 02192 authority 01849 from 03844 the chief priests 0749 to bind 01210 all 03956 that call 01941 on thy 04675 name 03686.

¹⁵ But 01161 the Lord 02962 said 02036 to 04314 him 0846, Go 04198: for 03754 he 03778 is 02076 a chosen 01589 vessel 04632 to me 03427, to bear 0941 my 03450 name 03686 before 01799 the Gentiles 01484, and 02532 kings 0935, and 05037 the children 05207 of Israel 02474:

¹⁶ For 01063 I 01473 will show 05263 him 0846 what great things 03745 he 0846 must 01163 suffer 03958 for 05228 my 03450 name’s sake 03686, 5228.

¹⁷ And 01161 Ananias 0367 went 0565, and 02532 entered 01525 into 01519 the house 03614; and 02532 putting 02007 his hands 05495 on 01909 him 0846 said 02036, Brother 080 Saul 04549, the Lord 02962, even Jesus 02424, that appeared 03700 to thee 04671 in 01722 the way 03598 as 03739 thou camest 02064, hath sent 0649 me 03165, that 03704 thou mayest receive thy sight 0308, and 02532 be filled with 04130 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151.

¹⁸ And 02532 immediately 02112 there fell 0634 from 0575 his 0846 eyes 03788 as 05616 it had been scales 03013: and he received sight 0308 immediately 03916, and 05037 arose 0450, and 02532 was baptized 0907.

¹⁹ And 02532 when he had received 02983 food 05160, he was strengthened 01765. Then 01161 was 01096 Saul 04569 certain 05100 days 02250 with 03326 the disciples 03101 who were at 01722 Damascus 01154.

²⁰ And 02532 immediately 02112 he preached 02784 Christ 05547 in 01722 the synagogues 04864, that 03754 he 03778 is 02076 the Son 05207 of God 02316.

²¹ But 01161 all 03956 that heard 0191 him were amazed 01839, and 02532 said 03004; Is 02076 not 03756 this 03778 he that destroyed 04199 them who 03588 called on 01941 this 05124 name 03686 in 01722 Jerusalem 02419, and 02532 came 02064 here 05602 for 01519 that 05124 intent 01519, that 02443 he might bring 071 them 0846 bound 01210 to 01909 the chief priests 0749?

²² But 01161 Saul 04569 increased 01743 the more 03123 in strength 01743, and 02532 confounded 04797 the Jews 02453 who 03588 dwelt 02730 at 01722 Damascus 01154, proving 04822 that 03754 this 03778 is 02076 very Christ 05547.

²³ And 01161 after 05613 many 02425 days 02250 were fulfilled 04137, the Jews 02453 took counsel 04823 to kill 0337 him 0846:

²⁴ But 01161 their 0846 laying in wait 01917 was known 01097 to Saul 04569. And 05037 they watched 03906 the gates 04439 day 02250 and 02532 night 03571 to 03704 kill 0337 him 0846.

²⁵ Then 01161 the disciples 03101 took 02983 him 0846 by night 03571, and let him down 02524, 5465 by 01223 the wall 05038 in 01722 a basket 04711.

²⁶ And 01161 when Saul 04569 had come 03854 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419, he tried 03987 to join himself 02853 to the disciples 03101: but 02532 they were 05399 all 03956 afraid 05399 of him 0846, and believed 04100 not 03361 that 03754 he was 02076 a disciple 03101.

²⁷ But 01161 Barnabas 0921 took 01949 him 0846, and brought 071 him to 04314 the apostles 0652, and 02532 declared 01334 to them 0846 how 04459 he had seen 01492 the Lord 02962 in 01722 the way 03598, and 02532 that 03754 he had spoken 02980 to him 0846, and 02532 how 04459 he had preached boldly 03955 at 01722 Damascus 01154 in 01722 the name 03686 of Jesus 02424.

²⁸ And 02532 he was 02258 with 03326 them 0846 coming in 01531 and 02532 going out 01607 at 01722 Jerusalem 02419.

²⁹ And 02532 he spoke 02980 boldly 03955 in 01722 the name 03686 of the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424, and 05037, 2532 disputed 04802 against 04314 the Grecians 01675: but 01161 they went about 02021 to slay 0337 him 0846.

³⁰ Which when 01161 the brethren 080 knew 01921, they brought 02609 him 0846 down 02609 to 01519 Caesarea 02542, and 02532 sent 01821 him 0846 forth 01821 to 01519 Tarsus 05019.

³¹ Then 03303, 3767 had 02192 the churches 01577 rest 01515 throughout 02596 all 03650 Judaea 02449 and 02532 Galilee 01056 and 02532 Samaria 04540, and were edified 03618; and 02532 walking in 04198 the fear 05401 of the Lord 02962, and 02532 in the comfort 03874 of the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, were multiplied 04129.

³² And 01161 it came 01096 to pass, as 01330 Peter 04074 passed throughout 01330, 1223 all 03956 quarters, he came down 02718 also 02532 to 04314 the saints 040 who 03588 dwelt 02730 at Lydda 03069.

³³ And 01161 there 01563 he found 02147 a certain 05100 man 0444 named 03686 Æneas 0132, who had kept 02621, 1909 his bed 02895, 1537 eight 03638 years 02094, and 03739 was 02258 sick with the palsy 03886.

³⁴ And 02532 Peter 04074 said 02036 to him 0846, Æneas 0132, Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 healeth 02390 thee 04571: arise 0450, and 02532 make 04766 thy 04572 bed 04766. And 02532 he arose 0450 immediately 02112.

³⁵ And 02532 all 03956 that dwelt 02730 at Lydda 03069 and 02532 Saron 04565 saw 01492 him 0846, and 03748 turned 01994 to 01909 the Lord 02962.

³⁶ Now 01161 there was 02258 at 01722 Joppa 02445 a certain 05100 disciple 03102 named 03686 Tabitha 05000, who 03739 by interpretation 01329 is called 03004 Dorcas 01393: this woman 03778, 846 was 02258 full 04134 of good 018 works 02041 and 02532 almsdeeds 01654 which 03739 she did 04160. Dorcas: or, Doe, or, Roe

³⁷ And 01161 it came to pass 01096 in 01722 those 01565 days 02250, that she was sick 0770, and died 0599: whom when 01161 they 0846 had washed 03068, 846, they laid 05087 in 01722 an upper chamber 05253.

³⁸ And 01161 as 05607 Lydda 03069 was near 01451 to Joppa 02445, and the disciples 03101 had heard 0191 that 03754 Peter 04074 was 02076 there 01722, 846, they sent 0649 to 04314 him 0846 two 01417 men 0435, desiring 03870 him that he would 03635 not 03361 delay 03635 to come 01330 to 02193 them 0846. delay: or, be grieved

³⁹ Then 01161 Peter 04074 arose 0450 and went with 04905 them 0846. When he 03739 had come 03854, they brought him 0321 into 01519 the upper chamber 05253: and 02532 all 03956 the widows 05503 stood by 03936 him 0846 weeping 02799, and 02532 showing 01925 the coats 05509 and 02532 garments 02440 which 03745 Dorcas 01393 made 04160, while she was 05607 with 03326 them 0846.

⁴⁰ But 01161 Peter 04074 put 01544 them all 03956 out 01854, and kneeled down 05087, 1119, and prayed 04336; and 02532 turning 01994 to 04314 the body 04983 said 02036, Tabitha 05000, arise 0450. And 01161 she opened 0455 her 0846 eyes 03788: and 02532 when she saw 01492 Peter 04074, she sat up 0339.

⁴¹ And 01161 he gave 01325 her 0846 his hand 05495, and lifted 0450 her 0846 up 0450, and 01161 when he had called 05455 the saints 040 and 02532 widows 05503, presented 03936 her 0846 alive 02198.

⁴² And 01161 it was 01096 known 01110 throughout 02596 all 03650 Joppa 02445; and 02532 many 04183 believed 04100 in 01909 the Lord 02962.

⁴³ And 01161 it came to pass 01096, that he 0846 tarried 03306 many 02425 days 02250 in 01722 Joppa 02445 with 03844 one 05100 Simon 04613 a tanner 01038.

10

¹ 01161 There was 02258 a certain 05100 man 0435 in 01722 Caesarea 02542 called 03686 Cornelius 02883, a centurion 01543 of 01537 the band 04686 called 02564 the Italian 02483 band,

² A devout 02152 man, and 02532 one that feared 05399 God 02316 with 04862 all 03956 his 0846 house 03624, who 05037 gave 04160 much 04183 alms 01654 to the people 02992, and 02532 prayed 01189 to God 02316 always 01275.

³ He saw 01492 in 01722 a vision 03705 evidently 05320 about 05616 the ninth 01766 hour 05610 of the day 02250 an angel 032 of God 02316 coming in 01525 to 04314 him 0846, and 02532 saying 02036 to him 0846, Cornelius 02883.

⁴ And 01161 when he looked 0816 on him 0846, he was 01096 afraid 01719, and 02532 said 02036, What 05101 is it 02076, Lord 02962? And 01161 he said 02036 to him 0846, Thy 04675 prayers 04335 and 02532 thy 04675 alms 01654 are come up 0305 for 01519 a memorial 03422 before 01799 God 02316.

⁵ And 02532 now 03568 send 03992 men 0435 to 01519 Joppa 02445, and 02532 call for 03343 one Simon 04613, whose 03739 surname is 01941 Peter 04074:

⁶ He 03778 lodgeth 03579 with 03844 one 05100 Simon 04613 a tanner 01038, whose 03739 house 03614 is 02076 by 03844 the sea side 02281: he 03778 shall tell 02980 thee 04671 what 05101 thou 04571 oughtest 01163 to do 04160.

⁷ And 01161 when 05613 the angel 032 who 03588 spoke 02980 to Cornelius 02883 had departed 0565, he called 05455 two 01417 of his 0846 household servants 03610, and 02532 a devout 02152 soldier 04757 of them that waited on 04342 him 0846 continually 04342;

⁸ And 02532 when he had declared 01834 all these things 0537 to them 0846, he sent 0649 them 0846 to 01519 Joppa 02445.

⁹ 01161 On the next day 01887, as they 01565 were going on their journey 03596, and 02532 drew near 01448 to the city 04172, Peter 04074 went up 0305 upon 01909 the housetop 01430 to pray 04336 about 04012 the sixth 01623 hour 05610:

¹⁰ And 01161 he became 01096 very hungry 04361, and 02532 would 02309 have eaten 01089: but 01161 while they 01565 made ready 03903, he 0846 fell 01968 into 01909 a trance 01611,

¹¹ And 02532 saw 02334 heaven 03772 opened 0455, and 02532 a certain 05100 vessel 04632 descending 02597 to 01909 him 0846, as 05613 it had been a great 03173 sheet 03607 knit 01210 at the four 05064 corners 0746, and 02532 let down 02524 to 01909 the earth 01093:

¹² In 01722 which 03739 were 05225 all manner 03956 of fourfooted beasts 05074 of the earth 01093, and 02532 wild beasts 02342, and 02532 creeping things 02062, and 02532 fowls 04071 of the air 03772.

¹³ And 02532 there came 01096 a voice 05456 to 04314 him 0846, Rise 0450, Peter 04074; kill 02380, and 02532 eat 05315.

¹⁴ But 01161 Peter 04074 said 02036, Not so 03365, Lord 02962; for 03754 I have 05315 never 03763 eaten 05315 any thing 03956 that is common 02839 or 02228 unclean 0169.

¹⁵ And 02532 the voice 05456 spoke to 04314 him 0846 again 03825, 1537 the second time 01208, What 03739 God 02316 hath cleansed 02511, that call 02840 not 03361 thou 04771 common 02840.

¹⁶ 01161 This 05124 was done 01096 three times 01909, 5151: and 02532 the vessel 04632 was received up 0353 again 03825 into 01519 heaven 03772.

¹⁷ Now 01161 while 05613 Peter 04074 greatly perplexed 01280 in 01722 himself 01438 what 05101 this vision 03705 which 03739 he had seen 01492 should mean 0302, 1498, behold 02400, 2532, the men 0435 who 03588 were sent 0649 from 0575 Cornelius 02883 had made enquiry 01331 for Simon’s 04613 house 03614, and stood 02186 before 01909 the gate 04440,

¹⁸ And 02532 called 05455, and asked 04441 whether 01487 Simon 04613, who 03588 was surnamed 01941 Peter 04074, lodged 03579 there 01759.

¹⁹ While 01161 Peter 04074 thought 01760 on 04012 the vision 03705, the Spirit 04151 said 02036 to him 0846, Behold 02400, three 05140 men 0435 seek 02212 thee 04571.

²⁰ Arise 0450 therefore 0235, and go down 02597, and 02532 go 04198 with 04862 them 0846, doubting 01252 nothing 03367: for 01360 I 01473 have sent 0649 them 0846.

²¹ Then 01161 Peter 04074 went down 02597 to 04314 the men 0435 who 03588 were sent 0649 to 04314 him 0846 from 0575 Cornelius 02883; and said 02036, Behold 02400, I 01473 am 01510 he whom 03739 ye seek 02212: what 05101 is the cause 0156 for 01223 which 03739 ye have come 03918?

²² And 01161 they said 02036, Cornelius 02883 the centurion 01543, a just 01342 man 0435, and 02532 one that feareth 05399 God 02316, and 05037 of good report 03140 among 05259 all 03650 the nation 01484 of the Jews 02453, was warned from God 05537 by 05259 an holy 040 angel 032 to send 03343 for thee 04571 into 01519 his 0846 house 03624, and 02532 to hear 0191 words 04487 from 03844 thee 04675.

²³ Then 03767 he called 01528 them 0846 in 01528, and lodged 03579 them. And 01161 on the next day 01887 Peter 04074 went 01831 with 04862 them 0846, and 02532 certain 05100 brethren 080 from 0575 Joppa 02445 accompanied 04905 him 0846.

²⁴ And 02532 on the next day 01887 they entered 01525 into 01519 Caesarea 02542. And 01161 Cornelius 02883 waited for 04328 them 0846, 2258, and had called together 04779 his 0846 kinsmen 04773 and 02532 near 0316 friends 05384.

²⁵ And 01161 as 05613 Peter 04074 was 01096 coming in 01525, Cornelius 02883 met 04876 him 0846, and fell down 04098 at 01909 his feet 04228, and worshipped 04352 him.

²⁶ But 01161 Peter 04074 took 01453 him 0846 up 01453, saying 03004, Stand up 0450; I 02504 myself 0846 also 02504 am 01510 a man 0444.

²⁷ And 02532 as he talked 04926 with him 0846, he went in 01525, and 02532 found 02147 many 04183 that had come together 04905.

²⁸ And 05037 he said 05346 to 04314 them 0846, Ye 05210 know 01987, 5613 that it is 02076 an unlawful thing 0111 for a man 0435 that is a Jew 02453 to keep company 02853, or 02228 come to 04334 one of another nation 0246; but 02532 God 02316 hath shown 01166 me 01698 that I should not 03367 call 03004 any 03367 man 0444 common 02839 or 02228 unclean 0169.

²⁹ Therefore 01352, 2532 I came 02064 to you willingly 0369, as soon as I was sent for 03343: I ask 04441 therefore 03767 for what 05101 intent 03056 ye have sent for 03343 me 03165?

³⁰ And 02532 Cornelius 02883 said 05346, Four 05067 days 02250 ago 0575 I was 02252 fasting 03522 until 03360 this 05026 hour 05610; and 02532 at the ninth 01766 hour 05610 I prayed 04336 in 01722 my 03450 house 03624, and 02532, behold 02400, a man 0435 stood 02476 before 01799 me 03450 in 01722 bright 02986 clothing 02066,

³¹ And 02532 said 05346, Cornelius 02883, thy 04675 prayer 04335 is heard 01522, and 02532 thy 04675 alms 01654 are had in remembrance 03415 in the sight 01799 of God 02316.

³² Send 03992 therefore 03767 to 01519 Joppa 02445, and 02532 call here 03333 Simon 04613, whose 03739 surname is 01941 Peter 04074; he 03778 lodgeth 03579 in 01722 the house 03614 of one Simon 04613 a tanner 01038 by 03844 the sea side 02281: who 03739, when he cometh 03854, shall speak 02980 to thee 04671.

³³ Immediately 01824 therefore 03767 I sent 03992 to 04314 thee 04571; and 05037 thou 04771 hast well 02573 done 04160 that thou hast come 03854. Now 03568 therefore 03767 we are 03918, 2249 all 03956 here present 03918 before 01799 God 02316, to hear 0191 all things 03956 that are commanded 04367 thee 04671 from 05259 God 02316.

³⁴ Then 01161 Peter 04074 opened 0455 his mouth 04750, and said 02036, In 01909 truth 0225 I perceive 02638 that 03754 God 02316 is 02076 no 03756 respecter of persons 04381:

³⁵ But 0235 in 01722 every 03956 nation 01484 he that feareth 05399 him 0846, and 02532 worketh 02038 righteousness 01343, is 02076 accepted 01184 with him 0846.

³⁶ The word 03056 which 03739 God sent 0649 to the children 05207 of Israel 02474, preaching 02097 peace 01515 by 01223 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547: (he 03778 is 02076 Lord 02962 of all 03956:)

³⁷ That word 04487, I say, ye 05210 know 01492, which was proclaimed 01096 throughout 02596 all 03650 Judaea 02449, and began 0756 from 0575 Galilee 01056, after 03326 the baptism 0908 which 03739 John 02491 preached 02784;

³⁸ That 05613 God 02316 anointed 05548 Jesus 02424 of 0575 Nazareth 03478 with the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 and 02532 with power 01411: who 0846, 3739 went about 01330 doing good 02109, and 02532 healing 02390 all 03956 that were oppressed 02616 by 05259 the devil 01228; for 03754 God 02316 was 02258 with 03326 him 0846.

³⁹ And 02532 we 02249 are 02070 witnesses 03144 of all things 03956 which 03739 he did 04160 both 05037 in 01722 the land 05561 of the Jews 02453, and 02532 in 01722 Jerusalem 02419; whom 03739 they slew 0337 and hanged 02910 on 01909 a tree 03586:

⁴⁰ Him 05126 God 02316 raised 01453 the third 05154 day 02250, and 02532 showed 01096 him 0846 openly 01717, 1325;

⁴¹ Not 03756 to all 03956 the people 02992, but 0235 to witnesses 03144 chosen before 04401 by 05259 God 02316, even to us 02254, who 03748 ate 04906 and 02532 drank with 04844 him 0846 after 03326 he 0846 rose 0450 from 01537 the dead 03498.

⁴² And 02532 he commanded 03853 us 02254 to preach 02784 to the people 02992, and 02532 to testify 01263 that 03754 it is 02076 he 0846 who 03588 was ordained 03724 by 05259 God 02316 to be the Judge 02923 of the living 02198 and 02532 the dead 03498.

⁴³ To him 05129 give 03140 all 03956 the prophets 04396 witness 03140, that through 01223 his 0846 name 03686 whoever 03956 believeth 04100 in 01519 him 0846 shall receive 02983 remission 0859 of sins 0266.

⁴⁴ While Peter 04074 was yet 02089 speaking 02980 these 05023 words 04487, the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 fell 01968 on 01909 all 03956 them who heard 0191 the word 03056.

⁴⁵ And 02532 they of 01537 the circumcision 04061 who believed 04103 were astonished 01839, as many as 03745 came with 04905 Peter 04074, because 03754 that on 01909 the Gentiles 01484 also 02532 was poured out 01632 the gift 01431 of the Holy 040 Spirit 04151.

⁴⁶ For 01063 they heard 0191 them 0846 speak in 02980 tongues 01100, and 02532 magnify 03170 God 02316. Then 05119 answered 0611 Peter 04074,

⁴⁷ Can 03385, 1410 any man 05100 forbid 02967 water 05204, that these 05128 should 0907 not 03361 be baptized 0907, who 03748 have received 02983 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 as 02532 well as 02531 we 02249?

⁴⁸ And 05037 he commanded 04367 them 0846 to be baptized 0907 in 01722 the name 03686 of the Lord 02962. Then 05119 they requested 02065 him 0846 to tarry 01961 certain 05100 days 02250.

11

¹ And 01161 the apostles 0652 and 02532 brethren 080 that were 05607 in 02596 Judaea 02449 heard 0191 that 03754 the Gentiles 01484 also 02532 had received 01209 the word 03056 of God 02316.

² And 02532 when 03753 Peter 04074 had come 0305 to 01519 Jerusalem 02414, they that were of 01537 the circumcision 04061 contended 01252 with 04314 him 0846,

³ Saying 03004, 3754, Thou wentest in 01525 to 04314 men 0435 uncircumcised 0203, 2192, and 02532 didst eat 04906 with them 0846.

⁴ But 01161 Peter 04074 went over the matter from the beginning 0756, and expounded 01620 it by order 02517 to them 0846, saying 03004,

⁵ I 01473 was 02252 in 01722 the city 04172 of Joppa 02445 praying 04336: and 02532 in 01722 a trance 01611 I saw 01492 a vision 03705, A certain 05100 vessel 04632 descend 02597, like 05613 a great 03173 sheet 03607, let down 02524 from 01537 heaven 03772 by four 05064 corners 0746; and 02532 it came 02064 even 0891 to me 01700:

⁶ Upon 01519 which 03739 when I had fastened my eyes 0816, I considered 02657, and 02532 saw 01492 fourfooted beasts 05074 of the earth 01093, and 02532 wild beasts 02342, and 02532 creeping things 02062, and 02532 fowls 04071 of the air 03772.

⁷ And 01161 I heard 0191 a voice 05456 saying 03004 to me 03427, Arise 0450, Peter 04074; slay 02380 and 02532 eat 05315.

⁸ But 01161 I said 02036, Not so 03365, Lord 02962: for 03754 nothing 03956 common 02839 or 02228 unclean 0169 hath 01525 at any time 03763 entered 01525 into 01519 my 03450 mouth 04750.

⁹ But 01161 the voice 05456 answered 0611 me 03427 again 01537, 1208 from 01537 heaven 03772, What 03739 God 02316 hath cleansed 02511, that call 02840 not 03361 thou 04771 common 02840.

¹⁰ And 01161 this 05124 was done 01096, 1909 three times 05151: and 02532 all 0537 were drawn up 0385 again 03825 into 01519 heaven 03772.

¹¹ And 02532, behold 02400, immediately 01824 there were 02186 three 05140 men 0435 already 01824 come 02186 to 01909 the house 03614 where 01722, 3739, 3739 I was 02252, sent 0649 from 0575 Caesarea 02542 to 04314 me 03165.

¹² And 01161 the Spirit 04151 bade 02036 me 03427 go with 04905 them 0846, nothing 03367 doubting 01252. Moreover 01161, 2532 these 03778 six 01803 brethren 080 accompanied 04862, 2064 me 01698, and 02532 we entered 01525 into 01519 the man’s 0435 house 03624:

¹³ And 05037 he showed 0518 us 02254 how 04459 he had seen 01492 an angel 032 in 01722 his 0846 house 03624, who stood 02476 and 02532 said 02036 to him 0846, Send 0649 men 0435 to 01519 Joppa 02445, and 02532 call for 03343 Simon 04613, whose surname is 01941 Peter 04074;

¹⁴ Who 03739 shall tell 02980 thee 04314, 4571 words 04487, by 01722 which 03739 thou 04771 and 02532 all 03956 thy 04675 house 03624 shall be saved 04982.

¹⁵ And 01161 as 01722 I 03165 began 0756 to speak 02980, the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 fell 01968 on 01909 them 0846, as 05618, 2532 on 01909 us 02248 at 01722 the beginning 0746.

¹⁶ Then 01161 I remembered 03415 the word 04487 of the Lord 02962, how 05613 he said 03004, John 02491 indeed 03303 baptized 0907 in water 05204; but 01161 ye 05210 shall be baptized 0907 in 01722 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151.

¹⁷ Forasmuch 01487 then 03767 as 05613 God 02316 gave 01325 them 0846 the same 02470 gift 01431 as 02532 he did to us 02254, who believed 04100 on 01909 the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424 Christ 01161, 5547; what 05101 was 02252 I 01473, that I could 01415 withstand 02967 God 02316?

¹⁸ When 01161 they heard 0191 these things 05023, they held their peace 02270, and 02532 glorified 01392 God 02316, saying 03004, Then 0686 hath 01325 God 02316 also 02534 to the Gentiles 01484 granted 01325 repentance 03341 to 01519 life 02222.

¹⁹ Now 03767, 3303 they who were dispersed 01289 upon 0575 the persecution 02347 that arose 01096 about 01909 Stephen 04736 travelled 01330 as far as 02193 Phenice 05403, and 02532 Cyprus 02954, and 02532 Antioch 0490, preaching 02980 the word 03056 to none 03367 but 01508 to the Jews 02453 only 03440.

²⁰ And 01161 some 05100 of 01537 them 0846 were 02258 men 0435 of Cyprus 02953 and 02532 Cyrene 02956, who 03748, when they had come 01525 to 01519 Antioch 0490, spoke 02980 to 04314 the Grecians 01675, preaching 02097 the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424.

²¹ And 02532 the hand 05495 of the Lord 02962 was 02258 with 03326 them 0846: and 05037 a great 04183 number 0706 believed 04100, and turned 01994 to 01909 the Lord 02962.

²² Then 01161 tidings 03056 of 04012 these things 0846 came 0191 to 01519 the ears 03775 of the church 01577 which 03588 was in 01722 Jerusalem 02414: and 02532 they sent forth 01821 Barnabas 0921, that he should go 01330 as far as 02193 Antioch 0490.

²³ Who 03739, when he came 03854, and 02532 had seen 01492 the grace 05485 of God 02316, was glad 05463, and 02532 exhorted 03870 them all 03956, that with purpose 04286 of heart 02588 they would continue with 04357 the Lord 02962.

²⁴ For 03754 he was 02258 a good 018 man 0435, and 02532 full 04134 of the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 and 02532 of faith 04102: and 02532 many 02425 people 03793 were added 04369 to the Lord 02962.

²⁵ Then 01161 Barnabas 0921 departed 01831 to 01519 Tarsus 05019, to seek 0327 Saul 04569:

²⁶ And 02532 when he had found 02147 him 0846, he brought 071 him 0846 to 01519 Antioch 0490. And 01161 it came to pass 01096, that a whole 03650 year 01763 they 0846 assembled themselves 04863 with 01722 the church 01577, and 02532 taught 01321 many 02425 people 03793. And 05037 the disciples 03101 were first 04412 called 05537 Christians 05546 in 01722 Antioch 0490. with…: or, in the church

²⁷ And 01161 in 01722 these 05025 days 02250 came 02718 prophets 04396 from 0575 Jerusalem 02414 to 01519 Antioch 0490.

²⁸ And 01161 there stood up 0450 one 01520 of 01537 them 0846 named 03686 Agabus 013, and signified 04591 by 01223 the Spirit 04151 that there should be 03195, 1510 a great 03173 famine 03042 throughout 01909 all 03650 the world 03625: which 03748, 2532 came to pass 01096 in the days of 01909 Claudius 02804 Caesar 02541.

²⁹ Then 01161 the disciples 03101, every 01538 man 0846 according to 02531 his ability 02141, 5100, determined 03724 to send 03992 relief 01248 to 01519 the brethren 080 who dwelt 02730 in 01722 Judaea 02449:

³⁰ Which 03739 also 02532 they did 04160, and sent it 0649 to 04314 the elders 04245 by 01223 the hands 05495 of Barnabas 0921 and 02532 Saul 04569.

¹ Now 01161 about 02596 that 01565 time 02540 Herod 02264 the king 0935 stretched forth 01911 his hands 05495 to afflict 02559 certain 05100 of 0575 the church 01577. stretched…: or, began

² And 01161 he killed 0337 James 02385 the brother 080 of John 02491 with the sword 03162.

³ And 02532 because he saw 01492 it 03754 pleased 02076, 701 the Jews 02453, he proceeded further 04369 to take 04815 Peter 04074 also 02532. (Then 01161 were 02258 the days 02250 of unleavened bread 0106.)

⁴ And 03739, 2532 when he had apprehended 04084 him, he put 05087 him in 01519 prison 05438, and delivered 03860 him to four 05064 quaternions 05069 of soldiers 04757 to keep 05442 him 0846; intending 01014 after 03326 the Passover 03957 to bring 0321 him 0846 forth 0321 to the people 02992. quaternions: a file of four soldiersEaster: Gr. Passover

⁵ Peter 04074, 3303 therefore 03767 was kept 05083 in 01722 prison 05438: but 01161 prayer 04335 was 02258 made 01096 without ceasing 01618 by 05259 the church 01577 to 04314 God 02316 for 05228 him 0846. prayer…: or, instant and earnest prayer was made

⁶ And 01161 when 03753 Herod 02264 would 03195 have brought 04254 him 0846 forth 04254, the same 01565 night 03571 Peter 04074 was 02258 sleeping 02837 between 03342 two 01417 soldiers 04757, bound 01210 with two 01417 chains 0254: and 05037 the keepers 05441 before 04253 the door 02374 kept 05083 the prison 05438.

⁷ And 02532, behold 02400, the angel 032 of the Lord 02962 came upon 02186 him, and 02532 a light 05457 shone 02989 in 01722 the prison 03612: and 01161 he smote 03960 Peter 04074 on the side 04125, and raised 01453 him 0846 up 01453, saying 03004, Arise 0450 quickly 01722, 5034. And 02532 his 0846 chains 0254 fell off 01601 from 01537 his hands 05495.

⁸ And 05037 the angel 032 said 02036 to 04314 him 0846, Gird thyself 04024, and 02532 bind on 05265 thy 04675 sandals 04547. And 01161 so 03779 he did 04160. And 02532 he saith 03004 to him 0846, Cast 04016 thy garment 02440 about 04016 thee 04675, and 02532 follow 0190 me 03427.

⁹ And 02532 he went out 01831, and followed 0190 him 0846; and 02532 knew 01492 not 03756 that 03754 it was 02076 true 0227 which 03588 was done 01096 by 01223 the angel 032; but 01161 thought 01380 he saw 0991 a vision 03705.

¹⁰ When 01161 they were past 01330 the first 04413 and 02532 the second 01208 guard 05438, they came 02064 to 01909 the iron 04603 gate 04439 that leadeth 05342 to 01519 the city 04172; which 03748 opened 0455 to them 0846 of its own accord 0844: and 02532 they went out 01831, and passed on through 04281 one 03391 street 04505; and 02532 immediately 02112 the angel 032 departed 0868 from 0575 him 0846.

¹¹ And 02532 when Peter 04074 had come 01096 to 01722 himself 01438, he said 02036, Now 03568 I know 01492 with certainty 0230, that 03754 the Lord 02962 hath sent 01821 his 0846 angel 032, and 02532 hath delivered 01807 me 03165 out of 01537 the hand 05495 of Herod 02264, and 02532 from all 03956 the expectation 04329 of the people 02992 of the Jews 02453.

¹² And 05037 when he had considered 04894 the thing, he came 02064 to 01909 the house 03614 of Mary 03137 the mother 03384 of John 02491, whose surname was 01941 Mark 03138; where 03757 many 02425 were 02258 gathered together 04867 praying 02532, 4336.

¹³ And 01161 as Peter 04074 knocked at 02925 the door 02374 of the gate 04440, a maid 03814 came 04334 to answer 05219, named 03686 Rhoda 04498. to hearken: or, to ask who was there

¹⁴ And 02532 when she knew 01921 Peter’s 04074 voice 05456, she opened 0455 not 03756 the gate 04440 for 0575 gladness 05479, but 01161 ran in 01532, and told that 0518 Peter 04074 stood 02476 before 04253 the gate 04440.

¹⁵ And 01161 they said 02036 to 04314 her 0846, Thou art mad 03105. But 01161 she constantly affirmed 01340 that it was 02192 even so 03779. Then 01161 they said 03004, It is 02076 his 0846 angel 032.

¹⁶ But 01161 Peter 04074 continued 01961 knocking 02925: and 01161 when they had opened 0455 the door, and saw 01492 him 02532, 846, they were astonished 01839.

¹⁷ But 01161 he, beckoning 02678 to them 0846 with the hand 05495 to hold their peace 04601, declared 01334 to them 0846 how 04459 the Lord 02962 had brought 01806 him 0846 out of 01537 the prison 05438. And 01161 he said 02036, Go show 0518 these things 05023 to James 02385, and 02532 to the brethren 080. And 02532 he departed 01831, and went 04198 into 01519 another 02087 place 05117.

¹⁸ Now 01161 as soon as it was 01096 day 02250, there was 02258 no 03756 small 03641 stir 05017 among 01722 the soldiers 04757, what 05101, 686 was become 01096 of Peter 04074.

¹⁹ And 01161 when 01934 Herod 02264 had sought for 01934 him 0846, and 02532 found him 02147 not 03361, he examined 0350 the keepers 05441, and commanded 02753 that they should be put to death 0520. And 02532 he went down 02718 from 0575 Judaea 02449 to 01519 Caesarea 02542, and there abode 01304.

²⁰ And 01161 Herod 02264 was 02258 highly displeased 02371 with them of Tyre 05183 and 02532 Sidon 04606: but 01161 they came 03918 with one accord 03661 to 04314 him 0846, and 02532, having made 03982 Blastus 0986 the king’s 0935 chamberlain 01909, 2846 their friend 03982, desired 0154 peace 01515; because 01223 their 0846 country 05561 was nourished 05142 by 0575 the king’s 0937 country. was highly…: or, bare an hostile mind, intending warthe king’s chamberlain: Gr. that was over the king’s bedchamber

²¹ And 01161 upon a set 05002 day 02250 Herod 02264, arrayed 01746 in royal 0937 apparel 02066, sat 02523 upon 01909 his throne 0968, and 02532 made an oration 01215 to 04314 them 0846.

²² And 01161 the people 01218 gave a shout 02019, saying, It is the voice 05456 of a god 02316, and 02532 not 03756 of a man 0444.

²³ And 01161 immediately 03916 the angel 032 of the Lord 02962 smote 03960 him 0846, because 0473, 3739 he gave 01325 not 03756 God 02316 the glory 01391: and 02532 he was 01096 eaten by worms 04662, and died 01634.

²⁴ But 01161 the word 03056 of God 02316 grew 0837 and 02532 multiplied 04129.

²⁵ And 01161 Barnabas 0921 and 02532 Saul 04569 returned 05290 from 01537 Jerusalem 02419, when they had fulfilled 04137 their ministry 01248, and 02532 took with them 04838 John 02491, whose surname was 01941 Mark 03138. ministry: or, charge

¹ Now 01161 there were 02258 in 02596 the church 01577 that was 05607 at 01722 Antioch 0490 certain 05100 prophets 04396 and 02532 teachers 01320; as 05037 Barnabas 0921, and 02532 Simeon 04826 that was called 02564 Niger 03526, and 02532 Lucius 03066 of Cyrene 02956, and 05037 Manaen 03127, who had been brought up 04939 with Herod 02264 the tetrarch 05076, and 02532 Saul 04569. which…: or, Herod’s foster brother

² As 01161 they 0846 ministered 03008 to the Lord 02962, and 02532 fasted 03522, the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 said 02036, 1211, Separate 0873 for me 03427, 5037 Barnabas 0921 and 02532 Saul 04569 for 01519 the work 02041 to which 03739 I have called 04341 them 0846.

³ And 05119 when they had fasted 03522 and 02532 prayed 04336, and 02532 laid 02007 their hands 05495 on 02007 them 0846, they sent them away 0630.

⁴ So 03303, 3767 they 03778, being sent forth 01599 by 05259 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, departed 02718 to 01519 Seleucia 04581; and from 01564 there 05037 they sailed 0636 to 01519 Cyprus 02954.

⁵ And 02532 when they were 01096 at 01722 Salamis 04529, they preached 02605 the word 03056 of God 02316 in 01722 the synagogues 04864 of the Jews 02453: and 01161 they had 02192 also 02532 John 02491 as their helper 05257.

⁶ And 01161 when they had gone through 01330 the isle 03520 to 0891 Paphos 03974, they found 02147 a certain 05100 sorcerer 03097, a false prophet 05578, a Jew 02453, whose 03739 name 03686 was Barjesus 0919:

⁷ Who 03739 was 02258 with 04862 the deputy of the country 0446, Sergius 04588 Paulus 03972, a prudent 04908 man 0435; who 03778 called 04341 for Barnabas 0921 and 02532 Saul 04569, and desired 01934 to hear 0191 the word 03056 of God 02316.

⁸ But 01161 Elymas 01681 the sorcerer 03097 (for 01063 so 03779 is his 0846 name 03686 by interpretation 03177) withstood 0436 them 0846, seeking 02212 to turn away 01294 the deputy 0446 from 0575 the faith 04102.

⁹ Then 01161 Saul 04569, (who 03588 also 02532 is called Paul 03972,) filled with 04130 the Holy 040 Spirit 02532, 4151, set his eyes 0816 on 01519 him 0846,

¹⁰ And said 02036, O 05599 full 04134 of all 03956 deceit 01388 and 02532 all 03956 mischief 04468, thou child 05207 of the devil 01228, thou enemy 02190 of all 03956 righteousness 01343, wilt thou 03973 not 03756 cease 03973 to pervert 01294 the right 02117 ways 03598 of the Lord 02962?

¹¹ And 02532 now 03568, behold 02400, the hand 05495 of the Lord 02962 is upon 01909 thee 04571, and 02532 thou shalt be 02071 blind 05185, not 03361 seeing 0991 the sun 02246 for 0891 a season 02540. And 01161 immediately 03916 there fell 01968 on 01909 him 0846 a mist 0887 and 02532 a darkness 04655; and 02532 he went about 04013 seeking 02212 some to lead him by the hand 05497.

¹² Then 05119 the deputy 0446, when he saw 01492 what was done 01096, believed 04100, being astonished 01605 at 01909 the doctrine 01322 of the Lord 02962.

¹³ Now 01161 when Paul 03972 and his company 04012 loosed 0321 from 0575 Paphos 03974, they came 02064 to 01519 Perga 04011 in Pamphylia 03828: and 01161 John 02491 departing 0672 from 0575 them 0846 returned 05290 to 01519 Jerusalem 02414.

¹⁴ But 01161 when they 0846 departed 01330 from 0575 Perga 04011, they came 03854 to 01519 Antioch 0490 in Pisidia 04099, and 02532 went 01525 into 01519 the synagogue 04864 on the sabbath 04521 day 02250, and sat down 02523.

¹⁵ And 01161 after 03326 the reading 0320 of the law 03551 and 02532 the prophets 04396 the rulers of the synagogue 0752 sent 0649 to 04314 them 0846, saying 03004, Men 0435, brethren 080, if 01487 ye have 02076, 1722, 5213 any word 03056 of exhortation 03874 for 04314 the people 02992, say on 03004.

¹⁶ Then 01161 Paul 03972 stood up 0450, and 02532 beckoning 02678 with his hand 05495 said 02036, Men 0435 of Israel 02475, and 02532 ye that fear 05399 God 02316, listen 0191.

¹⁷ The God 02316 of this 05127 people 02992 Israel 02474 chose 01586 our 02257 fathers 03962, and 02532 exalted 05312 the people 02992 when 01722 they dwelt as strangers 03940 in 01722 the land 01093 of Egypt 0125, and 02532 with 03326 an high 05308 arm 01023 he brought 01806 them 0846 out of 01537 it 0846.

¹⁸ And 02532 about 05613 the time 05550 of forty years 05063 he bore 05159 their 0846 manners 05159 in 01722 the wilderness 02048. suffered…: or bore, or fed them as a nurse beareth, or feedeth, her child

¹⁹ And 02532 when he had destroyed 02507 seven 02033 nations 01484 in 01722 the land 01093 of Canaan 05477, he divided 02624 their 0846 land 01093 to them 0846 by lot 02624.

²⁰ And 02532 after 03326 these things 05023, which took about 05613 four hundred 05071 and 02532 fifty 04004 years 02094, he gave 01325 to them judges 02923, until 02193 Samuel 04545 the prophet 04396.

²¹ And afterward 02547 they desired 0154 a king 0935: and 02532 God 02316 gave 01325 to them 0846 Saul 04549 the son 05207 of Kish 02797, a man 0435 of 01537 the tribe 05443 of Benjamin 0958, by the space of forty 05062 years 02094.

²² And 02532 when he had removed 03179 him 0846, he raised up 01453 to them 0846 David 01138 to be 01519 their king 0935; to whom 03739 also 02532 he gave testimony 03140, and said 02036, I have found 02147 David 01138 the son of Jesse 02421, a man 0435 after 02596 my own 03450 heart 02588, who 03739 shall fulfil 04160 all 03956 my 03450 will 02307.

²³ Of 0575 this man’s 05127 seed 04690 hath 01453 God 02316 according 02596 to his promise 01860 raised 01453 up to Israel 02474 a Saviour 04990, Jesus 02424:

²⁴ After John 02491 had first preached 04296 before 04253 his 0846 coming 04383, 1529 the baptism 0908 of repentance 03341 to all 03956 the people 02992 of Israel 02474.

²⁵ And 01161 as 05613 John 02491 fulfilled 04137 his course 01408, he said 03004, Whom 05101 think ye 05282 that I 03165 am 01511? I 01473 am 01510 not 03756 he. But 0235, behold 02400, there cometh one 02064 after 03326 me 01691, whose 03739 shoes 05266 of his feet 04228 I am 01510 not 03756 worthy 0514 to loose 03089.

²⁶ Men 0435, brethren 080, children 05207 of the stock 01085 of Abraham 011, and 02532 whoever among 01722 you 05213 feareth 05399 God 02316, to you 05213 is 0649 the word 03056 of this 05026 salvation 04991 sent 0649.

²⁷ For 01063 they that dwell 02730 at 01722 Jerusalem 02419, and 02532 their 0846 rulers 0758, because they knew 050 him 05126 not 050, nor yet 02532 the words 05456 of the prophets 04396 which 03588 are read 0314, 2596 every 03956 sabbath 04521, they have fulfilled 04137 them in condemning 02919 him.

²⁸ And 02532 though they found 02147 no 03367 cause 0156 of death 02288 in him, yet they desired 0154 Pilate 04091 that he 0846 should be put to death 0337.

²⁹ And 01161 when 05613 they had fulfilled 05055 all 0537 that was written 01125 concerning 04012 him 0846, they took him down 02507 from 0575 the tree 03586, and laid 05087 him in 01519 a sepulchre 03419.

³⁰ But 01161 God 02316 raised 01453 him 0846 from 01537 the dead 03498:

³¹ And he 03739 was seen 03700 many 01909, 4119 days 02250 by them who came up with 04872 him 0846 from 0575 Galilee 01056 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419, who 03748 are 01526 his 0846 witnesses 03144 to 04314 the people 02992.

³² And 02532 we 02249 declare 02097 to you 05209 the glad tidings 02097, that 03754 the promise 01860 which was made 01096 to 04314 the fathers 03962,

³³ God 02316 hath fulfilled 01603 the same 05026 to us 02254 their 0846 children 05043, in that he hath raised up 0450 Jesus 02424 again 0450; as 05613 it is 01125 also 02532 written 01125 in 01722 the second 01208 psalm 05568, Thou 04771 art 01488 my 03450 Son 05207, this day 04594 have I 01473 begotten 01080 thee 04571.

³⁴ And 01161 as concerning that 03754 he raised 0450 him 0846 from 01537 the dead 03498, now no more 03371 to 03195 return 05290 to 01519 corruption 01312, he said 02046 in this way 03754, 3779, I will give 01325 you 05213 the sure 04103 mercies 03741 of David 01138. mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the Septuagint in many places, uses for that which is in the Hebrew, mercies

³⁵ Therefore 01352 he saith 03004 also 02532 in 01722 another 02087 psalm, Thou shalt 01325 not 03756 allow 01325 thy 04675 Holy One 03741 to see 01492 corruption 01312.

³⁶ For 01063, 3303 David 01138, after he had served 05256 his own 02398 generation 01074 by the will 01012 of God 02316, fell asleep 02837, and 02532 was laid 04369 to 04314 his 0846 fathers 03962, and 02532 saw 01492 corruption 01312: after…: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God

³⁷ But 01161 he, whom 03739 God 02316 raised again 01453, saw 01492 no 03756 corruption 01312.

³⁸ Be it 02077 known 01110 to you 05213 therefore 03767, men 0435, brethren 080, that 03754 through 01223 this man 05127 is preached 02605 to you 05213 the forgiveness 0859 of sins 0266:

³⁹ And 02532 by 01722 him 05129 all 03956 that believe 04100 are justified 01344 from 0575 all things 03956, from which 03739 ye could 01410 not 03756 be justified 01344 by 01722 the law 03551 of Moses 03475.

⁴⁰ Beware 0991 therefore 03767, lest that 03361 come 01904 upon 01909 you 05209, which is spoken 02046 in 01722 the prophets 04396;

⁴¹ Behold 01492, ye despisers 02707, and 02532 wonder 02296, and 02532 perish 0853: for 03754 I 01473 work 02038 a work 02041 in 01722 your 05216 days 02250, a work 02041 which 03739 ye shall 04100 by no means 03364 believe 04100, though 01437 a man 05100 declare it 01555 to you 05213.

⁴² And 01161 when the Jews 02453 had gone 01826 out of 01537 the synagogue 04864, the Gentiles 01484 besought 03870 that these 05023 words 04487 might be preached 02980 to them 0846, 1519 the next 03342 sabbath 04521. the next…: Gr. in the week between, or, in the sabbath between

⁴³ Now 01161 when the congregation 04864 was broken up 03089, many 04183 of the Jews 02453 and 02532 religious 04576 proselytes 04339 followed 0190 Paul 03972 and 02532 Barnabas 0921: who 03748, speaking 04354 to them 0846, persuaded 03982 them 0846 to continue 01961 in the grace 05485 of God 02316.

⁴⁴ And 01161 the next 02064 sabbath 04521 came 04863 almost 04975 the whole 03956 city 04172 together 04863 to hear 0191 the word 03056 of God 02316.

⁴⁵ But 01161 when the Jews 02453 saw 01492 the multitudes 03793, they were filled 04130 with envy 02205, and 02532 spoke against 0483 those things which were spoken 03004 by 05259 Paul 03972, contradicting 0483 and 02532 blaspheming 0987.

⁴⁶ Then 01161 Paul 03972 and 02532 Barnabas 0921 became bold 03955, and said 02036, It was 02258 necessary 0316 that the word 03056 of God 02316 should 02980 first 04412 be spoken 02980 to you 05213: but 01161 seeing 01894 ye reject 0683 it 0846, and 02532 judge 02919 yourselves 01438 unworthy 03756, 514 of everlasting 0166 life 02222, lo 02400, we turn 04762 to 01519 the Gentiles 01484.

⁴⁷ For 01063 so 03779 hath 01781 the Lord 02962 commanded 01781 us 02254, saying, I have set 05087 thee 04571 to be 01519 a light 05457 of the Gentiles 01484, that thou 04571 shouldest be 01511 for 01519 salvation 04991 to 02193 the ends 02078 of the earth 01093.

⁴⁸ And 01161 when the Gentiles 01484 heard this 0191, they were glad 05463, and 02532 glorified 01392 the word 03056 of the Lord 02962: and 02532 as many as 03745 were 02258 ordained 05021 to 01519 eternal 0166 life 02222 believed 04100.

⁴⁹ And 01161 the word 03056 of the Lord 02962 was proclaimed 01308 throughout 01223 all 03650 the region 05561.

⁵⁰ But 01161 the Jews 02453 stirred up 03951 the devout 04576 and 02532 honourable 02158 women 01135, and 02532 the chief men 04413 of the city 04172, and 02532 raised 01892 persecution 01375 against 01909 Paul 03972 and 02532 Barnabas 0921, and 02532 drove 01544 them 0846 out of 0575 their 0846 land 03725.

⁵¹ But 01161 they shook off 01621 the dust 02868 of their 0846 feet 04228 against 01909 them 0846, and came 02064 to 01519 Iconium 02430.

⁵² And 01161 the disciples 03101 were filled with 04137 joy 05479, and 02532 with the Holy 040 Spirit 04151.

14

¹ And 01161 it came to pass 01096 in 01722 Iconium 02430, that they 0846 went 01525 both 02596 together 0846 into 01519 the synagogue 04864 of the Jews 02453, and 02532 so 03779 spoke 02980, that 05620 a great 04183 multitude 04128 both 05037 of the Jews 02453 and also 02532 of the Greeks 01672 believed 04100.

² But 01161 the unbelieving 0544 Jews 02453 stirred up 01892 the Gentiles 01484, and 02532 made 02559 their minds 05590 evil affected 02559 against 02596 the brethren 080.

³ A long 02425 time 05550 therefore 03303, 3767 they abode 01304 speaking boldly 03955 in 01909 the Lord 02962, who 03588 gave testimony 03140 to the word 03056 of his 0846 grace 05485, and 02532 granted 01325 signs 04592 and 02532 wonders 05059 to be done 01096 by 01223 their 0846 hands 05495.

⁴ But 01161 the multitude 04128 of the city 04172 was divided 04977: and 02532 part 03303 held 02258 with 04862 the Jews 02453, and 01161 part with 04862 the apostles 0652.

⁵ And 01161 when 05613 there was 01096 an assault 03730 made 01096 both 05037 of the Gentiles 01484, and also 02532 of the Jews 02453 with 04862 their 0846 rulers 0758, to use them despitefully 05195, and 02532 to stone 03036 them 0846,

⁶ Being aware 04894 of it, they fled 02703 to 01519 Lystra 03082 and 02532 Derbe 01191, cities 04172 of Lycaonia 03071, and 02532 to the surrounding region 04066:

⁷ And there 02546 they preached the gospel 02258, 2097.

⁸ And 02532 there sat 02521 a certain 05100 man 0435 at 01722 Lystra 03082, impotent 0102 in his feet 04228, being 05225 a cripple 05560 from 01537 his 0846 mother’s 03384 womb 02836, who 03739 had never 03763 walked 04043:

⁹ The same 03778 heard 0191 Paul 03972 speak 02980: who 03739 steadfastly beholding 0816 him 0846, and 02532 perceiving 01492 that 03754 he had 02192 faith 04102 to be healed 04982,

¹⁰ Said 02036 with a loud 03173 voice 05456, Stand 0450 upright 03717 on 01909 thy 04675 feet 04228. And 02532 he leaped 0242 and 02532 walked 04043.

¹¹ And 01161 when the people 03793 saw 01492 what 03739 Paul 03972 had done 04160, they lifted up 01869 their 0846 voices 05456, saying 03004 in the speech of Lycaonia 03072, The gods 02316 have come down 02597 to 04314 us 02248 in the likeness 03666 of men 0444.

¹² And 05037 they called 02564 Barnabas 03303, 921, Jupiter 02203; and 01161 Paul 03972, Mercury 02060, because 01894 he 0846 was 02258 the chief 02233 speaker 03056.

¹³ Then 01161 the priest 02409 of Jupiter 02203, who 03588 was 05607 before 04253 their 0846 city 04172, brought 05342 oxen 05022 and 02532 garlands 04725 to 01909 the gates 04440, and would 02309 have done sacrifice 02380 with 04862 the people 03793.

¹⁴ Which when 01161 the apostles 0652, Barnabas 0921 and 02532 Paul 03972, heard 0191 of, they tore 01284 their 0846 clothes 02440, and ran 01530 in among 01519 the people 03793, crying out 02896,

¹⁵ And 02532 saying 03004, Sirs 0435, why 05101 do ye 04160 these things 05130? We 02249 also 02532 are 02070 men 0444 of like passions 03663 with you 05213, and preach 02097 to you 05209 that ye should turn 01994 from 0575 these 05023 vanities 03152 to 01909 the living 02198 God 02316, who 03739 made 04160 heaven 03772, and 02532 earth 01093, and 02532 the sea 02281, and 02532 all things 03956 that are in 01722 them 0846:

¹⁶ Who 03739 in 01722 times 01074 past 03944 allowed 01439 all 03956 nations 01484 to walk 04198 in their own 0846 ways 03598.

¹⁷ Nevertheless 02544, 2532 he left 0863 not 03756 himself 01438 without witness 0267, in that he did good 015, and gave 01325 us 02254 rain 05205 from heaven 03771, and 02532 fruitful 02593 seasons 02540, filling 01705 our 02257 hearts 02588 with food 05160 and 02532 gladness 02167.

¹⁸ And 02532 with these 05023 sayings 03004 they scarce 03433 restrained 02664 the people 03793, from 02380, 3361 doing sacrifice 02380 to them 0846.

¹⁹ And 01161 there came there 01904 certain Jews 02453 from 0575 Antioch 0490 and 02532 Iconium 02430, who 02532 persuaded 03982 the people 03793, and 02532, having stoned 03034 Paul 03972, drew 04951 him out of 01854 the city 04172, supposing 03543 him 0846 to be dead 02348.

²⁰ But 01161, as the disciples 03101 stood around 02944 him 0846, he rose 0450, and came 01525 into 01519 the city 04172: and 02532 the next day 01887 he departed 01831 with 04862 Barnabas 0921 to 01519 Derbe 01191.

²¹ And 05037 when they had preached the gospel 02097 to that 01565 city 04172, and 02532 had taught 03100 many 02425, they returned again 05290 to 01519 Lystra 03082, and 02532 to Iconium 02430, and 02532 to Antioch 0490, had taught many: Gr. had made many disciples

²² Confirming 01991 the souls 05590 of the disciples 03101, exhorting them 03870 to continue 01696 in the faith 04102, and 02532 that 03754 we 02248 must 01163 through 01223 much 04183 tribulation 02347 enter 01525 into 01519 the kingdom 0932 of God 02316.

²³ And 01161 when they had ordained 05500 for them 0846 elders 04245 in every 02596 church 01577, and had prayed 04336 with 03326 fasting 03521, they commended 03908 them 0846 to the Lord 02962, on 01519 whom 03739 they believed 04100.

²⁴ And 02532 after they had passed throughout 01330 Pisidia 04099, they came 02064 to 01519 Pamphylia 03828.

²⁵ And 02532 when they had preached 02980 the word 03056 in 01722 Perga 04011, they went down 02597 into 01519 Attalia 0825:

²⁶ And from there 02547 sailed 0636 to 01519 Antioch 0490, where 03606 they had been 02258 commended from 03860 to the grace 05485 of God 02316 for 01519 the work 02041 which 03739 they fulfilled 04137.

²⁷ And 01161 when they had come 03854, and 02532 had gathered 04863 the church 01577 together 04863, they reported 0312 all 03745 that God 02316 had done 04160 with 03326 them 0846, and 02532 that 03754 he had opened 0455 the door 02374 of faith 04102 to the Gentiles 01484.

²⁸ And 01161 there 01563 they abode 01304 a long 03756, 3641 time 05550 with 04862 the disciples 03101.

15

¹ And 02532 certain men 05100 who came down 02718 from 0575 Judaea 02449 taught 01321 the brethren 080, and said 03754, Except 03362 ye be circumcised 04059 after the manner 01485 of Moses 03475, ye cannot 03756, 1410 be saved 04982.

² When therefore 03767 Paul 03972 and 02532 Barnabas 0921 had 01096 no 03756 small 03641 dissension 04714 and 02532 disputation 04803 with 04314 them 0846, they determined 05021 that Paul 03972 and 02532 Barnabas 0921, and 02532 certain 05100 others 0243 of 01537 them 0846, should go 0305 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419 to 04314 the apostles 0652 and 02532 elders 04245 about 04012 this 05127 question 02213.

³ And 03303, 3767 being brought on their way 04311 by 05259 the church 01577, they passed through 01330 Phenice 05403 and 02532 Samaria 04540, declaring 01555 the conversion 01995 of the Gentiles 01484: and 02532 they caused 04160 great 03173 joy 05479 to all 03956 the brethren 080.

⁴ And 01161 when they had come 03854 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419, they were received 0588 by 05259 the church 01577, and 02532 by the apostles 0652 and 02532 elders 04245, and 05037 they declared 0312 all things 03745 that God 02316 had done 04160 with 03326 them 0846.

⁵ But 01161 there rose 01817 certain 05100 of 0575 the sect 0139 of the Pharisees 05330 who believed 04100, saying 03004, That 03754 it was needful 01163 to circumcise 04059 them 0846, and 05037 to command 03853 them to keep 05083 the law 03551 of Moses 03475. rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain

⁶ And 01161 the apostles 0652 and 02532 elders 04245 came together 04863 to consider 01492 of 04012 this 05127 matter 03056.

⁷ And 01161 when there had been 01096 much 04183 disputing 04803, Peter 04074 rose 0450, and said 02036 to 04314 them 0846, Men 0435, brethren 080, ye 05210 know 01987 that 03754 a good 0744 while 02250 ago 0575 God 02316 made choice 01586 among 01722 us 02254, that the Gentiles 01484 by 01223 my 03450 mouth 04750 should hear 0191 the word 03056 of the gospel 02098, and 02532 believe 04100.

⁸ And 02532 God 02316, who knoweth the hearts 02589, bore them 0846 witness 03140, giving 01325 to them 0846 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, even 02532 as 02531 he did to us 02254;

⁹ And 02532 put 01252 no 03762 difference 01252 between 03342, 5037 us 02257 and 02532 them 0846, purifying 02511 their 0846 hearts 02588 by faith 04102.

¹⁰ Now 03568 therefore 03767 why 05101 tempt ye 03985 God 02316, to put 02007 a yoke 02218 upon 01909 the neck 05137 of the disciples 03101, which 03739 neither 03777 our 02257 fathers 03962 nor 03777 we 02249 were able 02480 to bear 0941?

¹¹ But 0235 we believe 04100 that through 01223 the grace 05485 of the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 we shall be saved 04982, even 02596, 3739 as 05158 they 02548.

¹² Then 01161 all 03956 the multitude 04128 kept silence 04601, and 02532 hearkened 0191 to Barnabas 0921 and 02532 Paul 03972, declaring 01834 what 03745 miracles 04592 and 02532 wonders 05059 God 02316 had wrought 04160 by 01223 them 0846 among 01722 the Gentiles 01484.

¹³ And 01161 after 03326 they held 04601 their 0846 peace 04601, James 02385 answered 0611, saying 03004, Men 0435, brethren 080, hearken 0191 to me 03450:

¹⁴ Simeon 04826 hath declared 01834 how 02531 God 02316 at the first 04412 visited 01980 the Gentiles 01484, to take 02983 from among 01537 them a people 02992 for 01909 his 0846 name 03686.

¹⁵ And 02532 to this 05129 agree 04856 the words 03056 of the prophets 04396; as 02531 it is written 01125,

¹⁶ After 03326 this 05023 I will return 0390, and 02532 will build again 0456 the tabernacle 04633 of David 01138, which 03588 is fallen down 04098; and 02532 I will build again 0456 its 0846 ruins 02679, and 02532 I will set 0461 it 0846 up 0461:

¹⁷ That 03704, 302 the rest 02645 of men 0444 may seek after 01567 the Lord 02962, and 02532 all 03956 the Gentiles 01484, upon 01909 whom 03739 my 03450 name 03686 is called 01941, 1909, 846, saith 03004 the Lord 02962, who 03588 doeth 04160 all 03956 these things 05023.

¹⁸ Known 01110 to God 02316 are 02076 all 03956 his 0846 works 02041 from 0575 the beginning of the world 0165.

¹⁹ Therefore 01352 my 01473 judgment is 02919, that we trouble 03926 not 03361 them, who 03588 from among 0575 the Gentiles 01484 are turned 01994 to 01909 God 02316:

²⁰ But 0235 that we write 01989 to them 0846, that they abstain 0567 from 0575 pollutions 0234 of idols 01497, and 02532 from immorality 04202, and 02532 from things strangled 04156, and 02532 from blood 0129.

²¹ For 01063 Moses 03475 of 01537 old 0744 time 01074 hath 02192 in every 02596 city 04172 them that preach 02784 him 0846, being read 0314 in 01722 the synagogues 04864 every 02596, 3956 sabbath 04521.

²² Then 05119 it pleased 01380 the apostles 0652 and 02532 elders 04245, with 04862 the whole 03650 church 01577, to send 03992 chosen 01586 men 0435 of 01537 their own company 0846 to 01519 Antioch 0490 with 04862 Paul 03972 and 02532 Barnabas 0921; namely, Judas 02455 surnamed 01941 Barsabas 0923, and 02532 Silas 04609, chief 02233 men 0435 among 01722 the brethren 080:

²³ And they wrote 01125 letters by 01223 them 05495, 846 after this manner 03592; The apostles 0652 and 02532 elders 04245 and 02532 brethren 080 send greeting 05463 to the brethren 080 who 03588 are of 01537 the Gentiles 01484 in 02596 Antioch 0490 and 02532 Syria 04947 and 02532 Cilicia 02791:

²⁴ Forasmuch as 01894 we have heard 0191, that 03754 certain 05100 who went out 01831 from 01537 us 02257 have troubled 05015 you 05209 with words 03056, subverting 0384 your 05216 souls 05590, saying 03004, Ye must be circumcised 04059, and 02532 keep 05083 the law 03551: to whom 03739 we gave 01291 no 03756 such commandment 01291:

²⁵ It seemed good 01380 to us 02254, being assembled 01096 with one accord 03661, to send 03992 chosen 01586 men 0435 to 04314 you 05209 with 04862 our 02257 beloved 027 Barnabas 0921 and 02532 Paul 03972,

²⁶ Men 0444 that have risked 03860 their 0846 lives 05590 for 05228 the name 03686 of our 02257 Lord 02962 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547.

²⁷ We have sent 0649 therefore 03767 Judas 02455 and 02532 Silas 04609, who 0846 shall 0518 also 02532 tell 0518 you the same things 0846 by 01223 mouth 03056. mouth: Gr. word

²⁸ For 01063 it seemed good 01380 to the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, and 02532 to us 02254, to lay upon 02007 you 05213 no 03367 greater 04119 burden 0922 than 04133 these 05130 necessary things 01876;

²⁹ That ye abstain 0567 from things offered to idols 01494, and 02532 from blood 0129, and 02532 from things strangled 04156, and 02532 from immorality 04202: from 01537 which 03739 if ye keep 01301 yourselves 01438, ye shall do 04238 well 02095. Fare ye well 04517.

³⁰ So 03303, 3767 when they were dismissed 0630, they came 02064 to 01519 Antioch 0490: and 02532 when they had gathered 04863 the multitude 04128 together 04863, they delivered 01929 the epistle 01992:

³¹ Which when 01161 they had read 0314, they rejoiced 05463 for 01909 the consolation 03874. consolation: or, exhortation

³² And Judas 02455 and 02532 Silas 04609, being 05607 prophets 04396 also 02532 themselves 0846, exhorted 03870 the brethren 080 with 01223 many 04183 words 03056, and 02532 confirmed 01991 them.

³³ And 01161 after they had tarried 04160 there a time 05550, they were sent away 0630 in 03326 peace 01515 from 0575 the brethren 080 to 04314 the apostles 0652.

³⁴ However 01161 it pleased 01380 Silas 04609 to abide 01961 there 0847 still 01961.

³⁵ Paul 03972 also 01161 and 02532 Barnabas 0921 continued 01304 in 01722 Antioch 0490, teaching 01321 and 02532 preaching 02097 the word 03056 of the Lord 02962, with 03326 many 04183 others 02087 also 02532.

³⁶ And 01161 some 05100 days 02250 after 03326 Paul 03972 said 02036 to 04314 Barnabas 01211, 921, Let us go again 01994 and visit 01980 our 02257 brethren 080 in 02596 every 03956 city 04172 where 01722, 3739 we have preached 02605 the word 03056 of the Lord 02962, and see how 04459 they do 02192.

³⁷ And 01161 Barnabas 0921 determined 01011 to take with them 04838 John 02491, whose surname was 02564 Mark 03138.

³⁸ But 01161 Paul 03972 thought 0515 not 03361 good 0515 to take 04838 him 05126 with them 04838, who 03588 departed 0868 from 0575 them 0846 from 0575 Pamphylia 03828, and 02532 went 04905 not 03361 with them 0846 to 01519 the work 02041.

³⁹ And 03767 the contention 03948 was 01096 so sharp 03948 between them 0846, that 05620 they departed 0673 one from the other 0575, 240: and so 05037 Barnabas 0921 took 03880 Mark 03138, and sailed 01602 to 01519 Cyprus 02954;

⁴⁰ And 01161 Paul 03972 chose 01951 Silas 04609, and departed 01831, being commended 03860 by 05259 the brethren 080 to the grace 05485 of God 02316.

⁴¹ And 01161 he went through 01330 Syria 04947 and 02532 Cilicia 02791, confirming 01991 the churches 01577.

16

¹ Then 01161 he came 02658 to 01519 Derbe 01191 and 02532 Lystra 03082: and 02532, behold 02400, a certain 05100 disciple 03101 was 02258 there 01563, named 03686 Timothy 05095, the son 05207 of a certain 05100 woman 01135, who was a Jewess 02453, and believed 04103; but 01161 his father 03962 was a Greek 01672:

² Who 03739 was well reported 03140 of by 05259 the brethren 080 that were at 01722 Lystra 03082 and 02532 Iconium 02430.

³ Him 05126 would 02309 Paul 03972 have to go forth 01831 with 04862 him 0846; and 02532 took 02983 and circumcised 04059 him 0846 because 01223 of the Jews 02453 who 03588 were 05607 in 01722 those 01565 quarters 05117: for 01063 they 01492 all 0537 knew that 03754 his 0846 father 03962 was 05225 a Greek 01672.

⁴ And 01161 as 05613 they went through 01279 the cities 04172, they delivered 03860 to them 0846 the decrees 01378 to keep 05442, that were ordained 02919 by 05259 the apostles 0652 and 02532 elders 04245 who 03588 were at 01722 Jerusalem 02419.

⁵ And so 03303, 3767 were 04732 the churches 01577 established 04732 in the faith 04102, and 02532 increased 04052 in number 0706 daily 02250, 2596.

⁶ Now 01161 when they had gone throughout 01330 Phrygia 05435 and 02532 the region 05561 of Galatia 01054, and were forbidden 02967 by 05259 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 to preach 02980 the word 03056 in 01722 Asia 0773,

⁷ After they had come 02064 to 02596 Mysia 03465, they tried 03985 to go 04198 into 02596 Bithynia 0978: but 02532 the Spirit 04151 allowed 01439 them 0846 not 03756.

⁸ And 01161 they passing by 03928 Mysia 03465 came down 02597 to 01519 Troas 05174.

⁹ And 02532 a vision 03705 appeared 03700 to Paul 03972 in 01223 the night 03571; There stood 02258, 2476 a man 05100, 435 of Macedonia 03110, beseeching 03870 him 02532, 846, saying 03004, Come over 01224 into 01519 Macedonia 03109, and help 0997 us 02254.

¹⁰ And 01161 after 05613 he had seen 01492 the vision 03705, immediately 02112 we endeavoured 02212 to go 01831 into 01519 Macedonia 03109, assuredly gathering 04822 that 03754 the Lord 02962 had called 04341 us 02248 to preach the gospel 02097 to them 0846.

¹¹ Therefore 03767 loosing 0321 from 0575 Troas 05174, we came with a straight course 02113 to 01519 Samothracia 04543, and 05037 the next 01966 day to 01519 Neapolis 03496;

¹² And 05037 from there 01564 to 01519 Philippi 05375, which 03748 is 02076 the chief 04413 city 04172 of that part 03310 of Macedonia 03109, and a colony 02862: and 01161 we were 02258 in 01722 that 05026 city 04172 abiding 01304 certain 05100 days 02250. the chief: or, the first

¹³ And 05037 on the sabbath 04521 day 02250 we went 01831 out of 01854 the city 04172 by 03844 a river side 04215, where 03757 prayer 04335 was accustomed 03543 to be made 01511; and 02532 we sat down 02523, and spoke 02980 to the women 01135 who resorted 04905 there. sabbath: Gr. sabbath day

¹⁴ And 02532 a certain 05100 woman 01135 named 03686 Lydia 03070, a seller of purple 04211, of the city 04172 of Thyatira 02363, who worshipped 04576 God 02316, heard 0191 us: whose 03739 heart 02588 the Lord 02962 opened 01272, that she attended 04337 to the things which were spoken 02980 by 05259 Paul 03972.

¹⁵ And 01161 when 05613 she was baptized 0907, and 02532 her 0846 household 03624, she besought 03870 us, saying 03004, If 01487 ye have judged 02919 me 03165 to be 01511 faithful 04103 to the Lord 02962, come 01525 into 01519 my 03450 house 03624, and abide 03306 there. And 02532 she constrained 03849 us 02248.

¹⁶ And 01161 it came to pass 01096, as we 02257 went 04198 to 01519 prayer 04335, a certain 05100 maid 03814 possessed 02192 with a spirit 04151 of divination 04436 met 0528 us 02254, who 03748 brought 03930 her 0846 masters 02962 much 04183 gain 02039 by soothsaying 03132: of divination: or, of Python

¹⁷ The same 03778 followed 02628 Paul 03972 and 02532 us 02254, and cried 02896, saying 03004, These 03778 men 0444 are 01526 the servants 01401 of the most high 05310 God 02316, who 03748 show 02605 to us 02254 the way 03598 of salvation 04991.

¹⁸ And 01161 this 05124 she did 04160, 1909 many 04183 days 02250. But 01161 Paul 03972, being grieved 01278, turned 01994 and 02532 said 02036 to the spirit 04151, I command 03853 thee 04671 in 01722 the name 03686 of Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 to come 01831 out of 0575 her 0846. And 02532 he came out 01831 the same 0846 hour 05610.

¹⁹ And 01161 when her 0846 masters 02962 saw 01492 that 03754 the hope 01680 of their 0846 gains 02039 was gone 01831, they caught 01949 Paul 03972 and 02532 Silas 04609, and drew 01670 them into 01519 the marketplace 058 to 01909 the rulers 0758, marketplace: or, court

²⁰ And 02532 brought 04317 them 0846 to the magistrates 04755, saying 02036, These 03778 men 0444, being 05225 Jews 02453, do exceedingly trouble 01613 our 02257 city 04172,

²¹ And 02532 teach 02605 customs 01485, which 03739 are 01832 not 03756 lawful 01832 for us 02254 to receive 03858, neither 03761 to observe 04160, being 05607 Romans 04514.

²² And 02532 the multitude 03793 rose up together 04911 against 02596 them 0846: and 02532 the magistrates 04755 tore off 04048 their 0846 clothes 02440, and commanded 02753 to beat 04463 them.

²³ And 05037 when they had laid 02007 many 04183 stripes 04127 upon them 0846, they cast 0906 them into 01519 prison 05438, charging 03853 the jailor 01200 to keep 05083 them 0846 safely 0806:

²⁴ Who 03739, having received 02983 such 05108 a charge 03852, thrust 0906 them 0846 into 01519 the inner 02082 prison 05438, and 02532 made 0805 their 0846 feet 04228 fast 0805 in 01519 the stocks 03586.

²⁵ And 01161 at 02596 midnight 03317 Paul 03972 and 02532 Silas 04609 prayed 04336, and sang praises 05214 to God 02316: and 01161 the prisoners 01198 heard 01874 them 0846.

²⁶ And 01161 suddenly 0869 there was 01096 a great 03173 earthquake 04578, so that 05620 the foundations 02310 of the prison 01201 were shaken 04531: and 05037 immediately 03916 all 03956 the doors 02374 were opened 0455, and 02532 every one’s 03956 bands 01199 were loosed 0447.

²⁷ And 01161 the keeper of the prison 01200 awaking 01096 out of his sleep 01853, and 02532 seeing 01492 the prison 05438 doors 02374 open 0455, he drew out 04685 his sword 03162, and would 03195 have killed 0337 himself 01438, supposing 03543 that the prisoners 01198 had fled 01628.

²⁸ But 01161 Paul 03972 cried 05455 with a loud 03173 voice 05456, saying 03004, Do 04238 thyself 04572 no 03367 harm 02556: for 01063 we are 02070 all 0537 here 01759.

²⁹ Then 01161 he called 0154 for a light 05457, and sprang in 01530, and 02532 came 01096 trembling 01790, and fell down before 04363 Paul 03972 and 02532 Silas 04609,

³⁰ And 02532 brought 04254 them 0846 out 01854, and said 05346, Sirs 02962, what 05101 must 01163 I 03165 do 04160 to 02443 be saved 04982?

³¹ And 01161 they said 02036, Believe 04100 on 01909 the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547, and 02532 thou 04771 shalt be saved 04982, and 02532 thy 04675 house 03624.

³² And 02532 they spoke 02980 to him 0846 the word 03056 of the Lord 02962, and 02532 to all 03956 that were in 01722 his 0846 house 03614.

³³ And 02532 he took 03880 them 0846, 1722 the same 01565 hour 05610 of the night 03571, and washed 03068 their stripes 0575, 4127; and 02532 was baptized 0907, he 0846 and 02532 all 03956 his 0846, without delay 03916.

³⁴ And 05037 when he had brought 0321 them 0846 into 01519 his house 03624, he set 03908 food 05132 before them 03908, and 02532 rejoiced 021, believing 04100 in God 02316 with all 03832 his 0846 house 03832.

³⁵ And 01161 when it was 01096 day 02250, the magistrates 04755 sent 0649 the officers 04465, saying 03004, Let 0630 those 01565 men 0444 go 0630.

³⁶ And 01161 the keeper of the prison 01200 told 0518 this 05128 saying 03056 to 04314 Paul 03754, 3972, The magistrates 04755 have sent 0649 to 02443 let you go 0630: now 03568 therefore 03767 depart 01831, and go 04198 in 01722 peace 01515.

³⁷ But 01161 Paul 03972 said 05346 to 04314 them 0846, They have beaten 01194 us 02248 openly 01219 uncondemned 0178, being 05225 Romans 04514, 444, and have cast 0906 us into 01519 prison 05438; and 02532 now 03568 do they thrust 01544 us 02248 out 01544 privately 02977? nay 03756 verily 01063; but 0235 let them come 02064 themselves 0846 and bring 01806 us 02248 out 01806.

³⁸ And 01161 the officers 04465 told 0312 these 05023 words 04487 to the magistrates 04755: and 02532 they feared 05399, when they heard 0191 that 03754 they were 01526 Romans 04514.

³⁹ And 02532 they came 02064 and besought 03870 them 0846, and 02532 brought them out 01806, and desired 02065 them to depart out 01831 of the city 04172.

⁴⁰ And 01161 they went 01831 out of 01537 the prison 05438, and entered 01525 into 01519 the house of Lydia 03070: and 02532 when they had seen 01492 the brethren 080, they comforted 03870 them 0846, and 02532 departed 01831.

¹ Now 01161 when they had passed through 01353 Amphipolis 0295 and 02532 Apollonia 0624, they came 02064 to 01519 Thessalonica 02332, where 03699 was 02258 a synagogue 04864 of the Jews 02453:

² And 01161 Paul 03972, as 02596 his manner was 01486, went in 01525 to 04314 them 0846, and 02532, 1909 on three 05140 sabbaths 04521 reasoned 01256 with them 0846 out of 0575 the scriptures 01124,

³ Opening 01272 and 02532 alleging 03908, that 03754 it was needful 01163 that Christ 05547 should suffer 03958, and 02532 rise again 0450 from 01537 the dead 03498; and 02532 that 03754 this 03778 Jesus 02424, whom 03739 I 01473 preach 02605 to you 05213, is 02076 Christ 05547. whom…: or, whom, said he, I preach

⁴ And 02532 some 05100 of 01537 them 0846 believed 03982, and 02532 consorted 04345 with Paul 03972 and 02532 Silas 04609; and 05037 of the devout 04576 Greeks 01672 a great 04183 multitude 04128, and 05037 of the chief 04413 women 01135 not 03756 a few 03641.

⁵ But 01161 the Jews 02453 who believed not 0544, moved with envy 02206, 2532, took to them 04355 certain 05100 wicked 04190 fellows 0435 of the baser sort 060, and 02532 gathered a company 03792, and set all 02350 the city 04172 in an uproar 02350, and 05037 assaulted 02186 the house 03614 of Jason 02394, and sought 02212 to bring 071 them 0846 out 01519 to the people 01218.

⁶ And 01161 when they found 02147 them 0846 not 03361, they drew 04951 Jason 02394 and 02532 certain 05100 brethren 080 to 01909 the rulers of the city 04173, crying 0994, 3754, These 03778 that have turned 0387 the world 03625 upside down 0387 have come 03918 here 01759 also 02532;

⁷ Whom 03739 Jason 02394 hath received 05264: and 02532 these 03778 all 03956 do 04238 contrary 0561 to the decrees 01378 of Caesar 02541, saying 03004 that there is 01511 another 02087 king 0935, one Jesus 02424.

⁸ And 01161 they troubled 05015 the people 03793 and 02532 the rulers of the city 04173, when they heard 0191 these things 05023.

⁹ And 02532 when they had taken 02983 security 02425 of 03844 Jason 02394, and 02532 of the others 03062, they let 0630 them 0846 go 0630.

¹⁰ And 01161 the brethren 080 immediately 02112 sent away 01599, 5037 Paul 03972 and 02532 Silas 04609 by 01223 night 03571 to 01519 Berea 0960: who 03748 coming 03854 there went 0549 into 01519 the synagogue 04864 of the Jews 02453.

¹¹ 01161 These 03778 were 02258 more noble 02104 than those in 01722 Thessalonica 02332, in that they 03748 received 01209 the word 03056 with 03326 all 03956 readiness of mind 04288, and searched 0350 the scriptures 01124 daily 02250, 2596, whether 01487 those things 05023 were 02192 so 03779.

¹² Therefore 03767, 3303 many 04183 of 01537 them 0846 believed 04100; also 02532 of honourable 02158 women 01135 who 03588 were Greeks 01674, and 02532 of men 0435, not 03756 a few 03641.

¹³ But 01161 when 05613 the Jews 02453 of 0575 Thessalonica 02332 had knowledge 01097 that 03754, 2532 the word 03056 of God 02316 was preached 02605 by 05259 Paul 03972 at 01722 Berea 0960, they came 02064 there also 02546, and stirred up 04531 the people 03793.

¹⁴ And 01161 then 05119 immediately 02112 the brethren 080 sent away 01821 Paul 03972 to go 04198 as it were 05613 to 01909 the sea 02281: but 01161, 5037 Silas 04609 and 02532 Timothy 05095 abode 05278 there 01563 still 05278.

¹⁵ And 01161 they that conducted 02525 Paul 03972 brought 071 him 0846 to 02193 Athens 0116: and 02532 receiving 02983 a commandment 01785 to 04314 Silas 04609 and 02532 Timothy 05095 to 02443 come 02064 to 04314 him 0846 with all speed 05613, 5033, they departed 01826.

¹⁶ Now 01161 while Paul 03972 waited for 01551 them 0846 at 01722 Athens 0116, his 0846 spirit 04151 was stirred 03947 in 01722 him 0846, when he saw 02334 the city 04172 wholly given 05607 to idolatry 02712. wholly…: or, full of idols

¹⁷ Therefore 03767, 3303 he disputed 01256 in 01722 the synagogue 04864 with the Jews 02453, and 02532 with the devout persons 04576, and 02532 in 01722 the market 058 daily 02596, 3956, 2250 with 04314 them that met with him 03909.

¹⁸ Then 01161 certain 05100 philosophers 05386 of the Epicureans 01946, and 02532 of the Stoics 04770, encountered 04820 him 0846. And 02532 some 05100 said 03004, What 05101 will 0302, 2309 this 03778 babbler 04691 say 03004, 1161? some others, He seemeth 01380 to be 01511 a setter forth 02604 of strange 03581 gods 01140: because 03754 he preached 02097 to them 0846 Jesus 02424, and 02532 the resurrection 0386. babbler: or, base fellow

¹⁹ And 05037 they took 01949 him 0846, and brought him 071 to 01909 Areopagus 0697, saying 03004, May 01410 we know 01097 what 05101 this 03778 new 02537 doctrine 01322 is, of which 05259 thou 04675 speakest 02980? Areopagus: or, Mars’ hill: it was the highest court in Athens

²⁰ For 01063 thou bringest 01533 certain 05100 strange things 03579 to 01519 our 02257 ears 0189: we would 01014 know 01097 therefore 03767 what 05101 these things 05023 mean 0302, 2309, 1511.

²¹ (For 01161 all 03956 the Athenians 0117 and 02532 strangers 03581 who 03588 were there 01927 spent their time 02119 in 01519 nothing 03762 else 02087, but either 02228 to tell 03004, or 02532 to hear 0191 some 05100 new thing 02537.)

²² Then 01161 Paul 03972 stood 02476 in 01722 the midst 03319 of Mars’ hill 0697, and said 05346, Ye men 0435 of Athens 0117, I perceive 02334 that 05613 in 02596 all things 03956 ye 05209 are very religious 01174. Mars’ hill: or, the court of the Areopagites

²³ For 01063 as I passed by 01330, and 02532 beheld 0333 your 05216 devotions 02532, 4574, I found 02147 an altar 01041 with this 01722, 3739 inscription 01924, TO THE UNKNOWN 057 GOD 02316. Whom 03739 therefore 03767 ye ignorantly 050 worship 02151, him 05126 declare 02605 I 01473 to you 05213. devotions: or, gods that ye worship

²⁴ God 02316 that made 04160 the world 02889 and 02532 all things 03956 in 01722 it 0846, seeing that he 03778 is 05225 Lord 02962 of heaven 03772 and 02532 earth 01093, dwelleth 02730 not 03756 in 01722 temples 03485 made with hands 05499;

²⁵ Neither 03761 is worshipped 02323 with 05259 men’s 0444 hands 05495, as though he needed 04326 any thing 05100, seeing he 0846 giveth 01325 to all 03956 life 02222, and 02532 breath 04157, and 02596 all things 03956;

²⁶ And 05037 hath made 04160 of 01537 one 01520 blood 0129 all 03956 nations 01484 of men 0444 to dwell 02730 on 01909 all 03956 the face 04383 of the earth 01093, and hath determined 03724 the times 02540 before appointed 04384, and 02532 the bounds 03734 of their 0846 habitation 02733;

²⁷ That they should seek 02212 the Lord 02962, if 01487 perhaps 0686 they might grope 05584 after him 0846, and 02532 find him 02147, though 02544 he is 05225 not 03756 far 03112 from 0575 every 01538 one 01520 of us 02257:

²⁸ For 01063 in 01722 him 0846 we live 02198, and 02532 move 02795, and 02532 have our being 02070; as 05613 certain 05100 also 02532 of your 05209 own 02596 poets 04163 have said 02046, For 01063 we are 02070 also 02532 his 05120 offspring 01085.

²⁹ Being 05225 then 03767 the offspring 01085 of God 02316, we ought 03784 not 03756 to think 03543 that the Godhead 02304 is 01511 like 03664 gold 05557, or 02228 silver 0696, or 02228 stone 03037, formed 05480 by art 05078 and 02532 man’s 0444 device 01761.

³⁰ And 03303, 3767 the times 05550 of this ignorance 052 God 02316 overlooked 05237; but now 03569 commandeth 03853 all 03956 men 0444 every where 03837 to repent 03340:

³¹ Because 01360 he hath appointed 02476 a day 02250, when 01722, 3739 he will 03195 judge 02919 the world 03625 in 01722 righteousness 01343 by 01722 that man 0435 whom 03739 he hath ordained 03724; of which he hath given 03930 assurance 04102 to all 03956 men, in that he hath raised 0450 him 0846 from 01537 the dead 03498. hath given…: or, offered faith

³² And 01161 when they heard 0191 of the resurrection 0386 of the dead 03498, some 03303 mocked 05512: and 01161 others said 02036, We will hear 0191 thee 04675 again 03825 concerning 04012 this 05127 matter.

³³ So 02532, 3779 Paul 03972 departed 01831 from 01537 among 03319 them 0846.

³⁴ But 01161 certain 05100 men 0435 joined themselves 02853 to him 0846, and believed 04100: among 01722 whom 03739, 2532 was Dionysius 01354 the Areopagite 0698, and 02532 a woman 01135 named 03686 Damaris 01152, and 02532 others 02087 with 04862 them 0846.

¹ 01161 After 03326 these things 05023 Paul 03972 departed 05563 from 01537 Athens 0116, and came 02064 to 01519 Corinth 02882;

² And 02532 found 02147 a certain 05100 Jew 02453 named 03686 Aquila 0207, born 01085 in Pontus 04193, lately 04373 come 02064 from 0575 Italy 02482, with 02532 his 0846 wife 01135 Priscilla 04252; (because that 01223 Claudius 02804 had commanded 01299 all 03956 Jews 02453 to depart 05563 from 01537 Rome 04516:) and he came 04334 to them 0846.

³ And 02532 because 01223 he was 01511 of the same trade 03673, he abode 03306 with 03844 them 0846, and 02532 worked 02038: for 01063 by their occupation 05078 they were 02258 tentmakers 04635.

⁴ And 01161 he reasoned 01256 in 01722 the synagogue 04864, 2596 every 03956 sabbath 04521, and 05037 persuaded 03982 the Jews 02453 and 02532 the Greeks 01672.

⁵ And 01161 when 05613, 5037 Silas 04609 and 02532 Timothy 05095 had come 02718 from 0575 Macedonia 03109, Paul 03972 was pressed 04912 in spirit 04151, and testified 01263 to the Jews 02453 that Jesus 02424 was Christ 05547. was Christ: or, is the Christ

⁶ And 01161 when they opposed 0498 them 0846, and 02532 blasphemed 0987, he shook 01621 his raiment 02440, and said 02036 to 04314 them 0846, Your 05216 blood 0129 be upon 01909 your 05216 own heads 02776; I 01473 am clean 02513: from 0575 henceforth 03568 I will go 04198 to 01519 the Gentiles 01484.

⁷ And 02532 he departed 03327 from there 01564, and entered 02064 into 01519 the house 03614 of a certain 05100 man named 03686 Justus 02459, one that worshipped 04576 God 02316, whose 03739 house 03614 was next 04927, 2258 to the synagogue 04864.

⁸ And 01161 Crispus 02921, the chief ruler of the synagogue 0752, believed 04100 on the Lord 02962 with 04862 all 03650 his 0846 house 03624; and 02532 many 04183 of the Corinthians 02881 hearing 0191 believed 04100, and 02532 were baptized 0907.

⁹ Then 01161, 2036 the Lord 02962 spoke to Paul 03972 in 01223 the night 03571 by 01722 a vision 03705, Be 05399 not 03361 afraid 05399, but 0235 speak 02980, and 02532 hold 04623 not 03361 thy peace 04623:

¹⁰ For 01360 I 01473 am 01510 with 03326 thee 04675, and 02532 no man 03762 shall lay hands on 02007 thee 04671 to hurt 02559 thee 04571: for 01360 I 03427 have 02076 many 04183 people 02992 in 01722 this 05026 city 04172.

¹¹ And 05037 he continued 02523 there a year 01763 and 02532 six 01803 months 03376, teaching 01321 the word 03056 of God 02316 among 01722 them 0846. continued there: Gr. sat there

¹² And 01161 when Gallio 01058 was the deputy 0445 of Achaia 0882, the Jews 02453 made insurrection 02721 with one accord against 03661 Paul 03972, and 02532 brought 071 him 0846 to 01909 the judgment seat 0968,

¹³ Saying 03004, 3754, This 03778 man persuadeth 0374 men 0444 to worship 04576 God 02316 contrary 03844 to the law 03551.

¹⁴ And 01161 when Paul 03972 was now about 03195 to open 0455 his mouth 04750, Gallio 01058 said 02036 to 04314 the Jews 02453, If 01487, 3303, 3767 it were 02258 a 05100 matter of wrong 092 or 02228 wicked 04190 crimes 04467, O 05599 ye Jews 02453, reason 02596, 3056 would 0302 that I should bear 0430 with you 05216:

¹⁵ But 01161 if 01487 it is 02076 a question 02213 of 04012 words 03056 and 02532 names 03686, and 02532 of 02596your 05209 law 03551, look ye 03700, 846 to it; for 01063 I 01473 will be 01014, 1511 no 03756 judge 02923 of such 05130 matters.

¹⁶ And 02532 he drove 0556 them 0846 from 0575 the judgment seat 0968.

¹⁷ Then 01161 all 03956 the Greeks 01672 took 01949 Sosthenes 04988, the chief ruler of the synagogue 0752, and beat 05180 him before 01715 the judgment seat 0968. And 02532 Gallio 01058 cared 03199 for none 03762 of those things 05130.

¹⁸ And 01161 Paul 03972 after this tarried 04357 there yet 02089 a good 02425 while 02250, and took his leave 0657 of the brethren 080, and sailed from there 01602 into 01519 Syria 04947, and 02532 with 04862 him 0846 Priscilla 04252 and 02532 Aquila 0207; having shorn 02751 his head 02776 in 01722 Cenchrea 02747: for 01063 he had 02192 a vow 02171.

¹⁹ And 01161 he came 02658 to 01519 Ephesus 02181, and 02548 left 02641 them there 0847: but 01161 he himself 0846 entered 01525 into 01519 the synagogue 04864, and reasoned with 01256 the Jews 02453.

²⁰ When 01161 they 0846 desired 02065 him to tarry 03306 longer 01909, 4119 time 05550 with 03844 them 0846, he consented 01962 not 03756;

²¹ But 0235 bade 0657 them 0846 farewell 0657, saying 02036, I 03165 must 01163 by all means 03843 keep 04160 this feast 01859 that cometh 02064 in 01519 Jerusalem 02414: but 01161 I will return 0344, 3825 to 04314 you 05209, if God 02316 will 02309. And 02532 he sailed 0321 from 0575 Ephesus 02181.

²² And 02532 when he had landed 02718 at 01519 Caesarea 02542, and gone up 0305, and 02532 greeted 0782 the church 01577, he went down 02597 to 01519 Antioch 0490.

²³ And 02532 after he had spent 04160 some 05100 time 05550 there, he departed 01831, and went over 01330 all the country 05561 of Galatia 01054 and 02532 Phrygia 05435 in order 02517, strengthening 01991 all 03956 the disciples 03101.

²⁴ And 01161 a certain 05100 Jew 02453 named 03686 Apollos 0625, born 01085 at Alexandria 0221, an eloquent 03052 man 0435, and mighty 05607, 1415 in 01722 the scriptures 01124, came 02658 to 01519 Ephesus 02181.

²⁵ This man 03778 was 02258 instructed in 02727 the way 03598 of the Lord 02962; and 02532 being fervent 02204 in the spirit 04151, he spoke 02980 and 02532 taught 01321 diligently 0199 the things of 04012 the Lord 02962, knowing 01987 only 03440 the baptism 0908 of John 02491.

²⁶ And 05037 he 03778 began 0756 to speak boldly 03955 in 01722 the synagogue 04864: whom 0846 when 01161 Aquila 0207 and 02532 Priscilla 04252 had heard 0191, they took 04355 him 0846, and 02532 expounded 01620 to him 0846 the way 03598 of God 02316 more perfectly 0197.

²⁷ And 01161 when he 0846 was disposed 01014 to pass 01330 into 01519 Achaia 0882, the brethren 080 wrote 01125, exhorting 04389 the disciples 03101 to receive 0588 him 0846: who 03739, when he had come 03854, helped them 04820 much 04183 who had believed 04100 through 01223 grace 05485:

²⁸ For 01063 he mightily 02159 convinced 01246 the Jews 02453, and that publicly 01219, showing 01925 by 01223 the scriptures 01124 that Jesus 02424 was 01511 Christ 05547. Christ: or, is the Christ

19

¹ And 01161 it came to pass 01096, that, while Apollos 0625 was 01511, 1722 at 01722 Corinth 02882, Paul 03972 having passed 01330 through the upper 0510 regions 03313 came 02064 to 01519 Ephesus 02181: and 02532 finding 02147 certain 05100 disciples 03101,

² He said 02036 to 04314 them 01487, 846, Have ye received 02983 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 since ye believed 04100? And 01161 they said 02036 to 04314 him 0235, 846, We have 0191 not so much as 03761 heard 0191 whether 01487 there is any 02076 Holy 040 Spirit 04151.

³ And 05037 he said 02036 to 04314 them 0846, Into 01519 what 05101 then 03767 were ye baptized 0907? And 01161 they said 02036, Into 01519 John’s 02491 baptism 0908.

⁴ Then 01161 said 02036 Paul 03972, John 02491 verily 03303 baptized 0907 with the baptism 0908 of repentance 03341, saying 03004 to the people 02992, that 02443 they should believe 04100 on 01519 him who should come 02064 after 03326 him 0846, that is 05123, on 01519 Christ 05547 Jesus 02424.

⁵ When 01161 they heard 0191 this, they were baptized 0907 into 01519 the name 03686 of the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424.

⁶ And 02532 when Paul 03972 had laid 02007 his hands 05495 upon 02007 them 0846, the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 came 02064 on 01909 them 0846; and 05037 they spoke 02980 with tongues 01100, and 02532 prophesied 04395.

⁷ And 01161 all 03956 the men 0435 were 02258 about 05616 twelve 01177.

⁸ And 01161 he went 01525 into 01519 the synagogue 04864, and spoke boldly 03955 for the space 01909 of three 05140 months 03376, disputing 01256 and 02532 persuading 03982 the things concerning 04012 the kingdom 0932 of God 02316.

⁹ But 01161 when 05613 some 05100 were hardened 04645, and 02532 believed not 0544, but spoke evil 02551 of that way 03598 before 01799 the multitude 04128, he departed 0868 from 0575 them 0846, and separated 0873 the disciples 03101, disputing 01256 daily 02596, 2250 in 01722 the school 04981 of one 05100 Tyrannus 05181.

¹⁰ And 01161 this 05124 continued 01096 for the space 01909 of two 01417 years 02094; so 05620 that all 03956 they who dwelt in 02730 Asia 0773 heard 0191 the word 03056 of the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424, both 05037 Jews 02453 and 02532 Greeks 01672.

¹¹ And 05037 God 02316 wrought 04160 special 03756, 5177 miracles 01411 by 01223 the hands 05495 of Paul 03972:

¹² So 02532, 5620 that from 0575 his 0846 body 05559 were brought 02018 to 01909 the sick 0770, handkerchiefs 04676 or 02228 aprons 04612, and 02532 the diseases 03554 departed 0525 from 0575 them 0846, and 05037 the evil 04190 spirits 04151 went 01831 out of 0575 them 0846.

¹³ Then 01161 certain 05100 of 0575 the vagabond 04022 Jews 02453, exorcists 01845, took upon them 02021 to call 03687 over 01909 them who had 02192 evil 04190 spirits 04151 the name 03686 of the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424, saying 03004, We adjure 03726 you 05209 by Jesus 02424 whom 03739 Paul 03972 preacheth 02784.

¹⁴ And 01161 there were 02258 seven 02033 sons 05207 of one Sceva 04630, 5100, a Jew 02453, and chief of the priests 0749, who did 04160 so 05124.

¹⁵ And 01161 the evil 04190 spirit 04151 answered 0611 and said 02036, Jesus 02424 I know 01097, and 02532 Paul 03972 I know 01987; but 01161 who 05101 are 02075 ye 05210?

¹⁶ And 02532 the man 0444 in 01722 whom 03739 the evil 04190 spirit 04151 was 02258 leaped 02177 on 01909 them 0846, and 02532 overcame 02634 them 0846, and prevailed 02480 against 02596 them 0846, so 05620 that they fled 01628 out of 01537 that 01565 house 03624 naked 01131 and 02532 wounded 05135.

¹⁷ And 01161 this 05124 was 01096 known 01110 to all 03956 the Jews 02453 and 05037 Greeks 01672 also 02532 dwelling 02730 at Ephesus 02181; and 02532 fear 05401 fell 01968 on 01909 them 0846 all 03956, and 02532 the name 03686 of the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424 was magnified 03170.

¹⁸ And 05037 many 04183 that believed 04100 came 02064, and confessed 01843, and 02532 showed 0312 their 0846 deeds 04234.

¹⁹ Many 02425 also 01161 of them who practised 04238 magic 04021 brought 04851 their books 0976 together 04851, and burned them 02618 before 01799 all 03956 men: and 02532 they counted 04860 the price 05092 of them 0846, and 02532 found 02147 it fifty 04002 thousand 03461 pieces of silver 0694.

²⁰ So 03779 mightily 02596, 2904 grew 0837 the word 03056 of God 02962 and 02532 prevailed 02480.

²¹ After 01161, 5613 these things 05023 were ended 04137, Paul 03972 purposed 05087 in 01722 the spirit 04151, when he had passed through 01330 Macedonia 03109 and 02532 Achaia 0882, to go 04198 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419, saying 02036, After 03754, 3326 I 03165 have been 01096 there 01563, I 03165 must 01163 also 02532 see 01492 Rome 04516.

²² So 01161 he sent 0649 into 01519 Macedonia 03109 two 01417 of them that ministered 01247 to him 0846, Timothy 05095 and 02532 Erastus 02037; but he himself 0846 stayed 01907 in 01519 Asia 0773 for a season 05550.

²³ And 01161, 2596 the same 01565 time 02540 there arose 01096 no 03756 small 03641 stir 05017 about 04012 that way 03598.

²⁴ For 01063 a certain 05100 man named 03686 Demetrius 01216, a silversmith 0695, who made 04160 silver 0693 shrines 03485 for Diana 0735, brought 03930 no 03756 small 03641 gain 02039 to the craftsmen 05079;

²⁵ Whom 03739 he called together 04867 with the workmen 02040 of 04012 like occupation 05108, and 02532 said 02036, Sirs 0435, ye know 01987 that 03754 by 01537 this 05026 craft 02039 we have 02076 our 02257 wealth 02142.

²⁶ Moreover 02532 ye see 02334 and 02532 hear 0191, that 03754 not 03756 alone 03440 at Ephesus 02181, but 0235 almost 04975 throughout all 03956 Asia 0773, this 03778 Paul 03972 hath persuaded 03982 and turned away 03179 many 02425 people 03793, saying 03004 that 03754 they are 01526 no 03756 gods 02316, which 03588 are made 01096 with 01223 hands 05495:

²⁷ So 01161 that not 03756 only 03440 this 05124 our 02254 craft 03313 is in danger 02793 to be set 02064 at 01519 nought 0557; but 0235 also 02532 that the temple 02411 of the great 03173 goddess 02299 Diana 0735 should be despised 01519, 3762, 3049, and 01161, 2532 her 0846 magnificence 03168 should 03195 be destroyed 02507, whom 03739 all 03650 Asia 0773 and 02532 the world 03625 worshippeth 04576. set at nought: or, brought into disrepute, or, contempt

²⁸ And 01161 when they heard 0191 these sayings, they were 01096 full 04134 of wrath 02372, and 02532 cried out 02896, saying 03004, Great 03173 is Diana 0735 of the Ephesians 02180.

²⁹ And 02532 the whole 03650 city 04172 was filled 04130 with confusion 04799: and 05037 having caught 04884 Gaius 01050 and 02532 Aristarchus 0708, men of Macedonia 03110, Paul’s 03972 companions in travel 04898, they rushed 03729 with one accord 03661 into 01519 the theatre 02302.

³⁰ And 01161 when 01014 Paul 03972 would 01014 have entered 01525 in 01519 to the people 01218, the disciples 03101 permitted 01439 him 0846 not 03756.

³¹ And 01161, 2532 certain 05100 of the chief of Asia 0775, who were 05607 his 0846 friends 05384, sent 03992 to 04314 him 0846, beseeching 03870 him that he would 01325 not 03361 venture 01325 himself 01438 into 01519 the theatre 02302.

³² Some 0243 therefore 03767, 3303 cried 02896 one thing 05100, and some another 0243: for 01063 the assembly 01577 was 02258 confused 04797; and 02532 the greater part 04119 knew 01492 not 03756 why 05101, 1752 they had come together 04905.

³³ And 01161 they drew 04264 Alexander 0223 out of 01537 the multitude 03793, the Jews 02453 putting 04261 him 0846 forward 04261. And 01161 Alexander 0223 beckoned 02678 with the hand 05495, and would 02309 have made his defence 0626 to the people 01218.

³⁴ But 01161 when they knew 01921 that 03754 he was 02076 a Jew 02453, all 03956, 1096 with 01537 one 03391 voice 05456 about 05613 the space 01909 of two 01417 hours 05610 cried out 02896, Great 03173 is Diana 0735 of the Ephesians 02180.

³⁵ And 01161 when the townclerk 01122 had quieted 02687 the people 03793, he said 05346, Ye men 0435 of Ephesus 02180, what 05101, 1063 man 0444 is there 02076 that 03739 knoweth 01097 not 03756 that the city 04172 of the Ephesians 02180 is 05607 a worshipper 03511 of the great 03173 goddess 02299 Diana 0735, and 02532 of the image which fell down from Jupiter 01356? a worshipper: Gr. the temple keeper

³⁶ Seeing 05607 then 03767 that these things 05130 cannot be denied 0368, ye 05209 ought 01163, 2076 to be 05225 quiet 02687, and 02532 to do 04238 nothing 03367 rashly 04312.

³⁷ For 01063 ye have brought here 071 these 05128 men 0435, who are neither 03777 robbers of temples 02417, nor yet 03777 blasphemers 0987 of your 05216 goddess 02299.

³⁸ Therefore 03303, 3767 if 01487 Demetrius 01216, and 02532 the craftsmen 05079 who are with 04862 him 0846, have 02192 a matter 03056 against 04314 any man 05100, the law 060 is open 071, and 02532 there are 01526 deputies 0446: let them accuse 01458 one another 0240. the law…: or, the court days are kept

³⁹ But 01161 if 01487 ye enquire 01934 any thing 05100 concerning 04012 other matters 02087, it shall be determined 01956 in 01722 a lawful 01772 assembly 01577. lawful: or, ordinary

⁴⁰ For 01063, 2532 we are in danger 02793 to be called in question 01458 for 04012 this day’s 04594 uproar 04714, there being 05225 no 03367 cause 0158 by 04012 which 03739 we may 01410 give 0591 an account 03056 of this 05026 riotous gathering 04963.

⁴¹ And 02532 when he had 02036 thus 05023 spoken 02036, he dismissed 0630 the assembly 01577.

20

¹ And 01161 after 03326 the uproar 02351 had ceased 03973, Paul 03972 called 04341 to him the disciples 03101, and 02532 embraced 0782 them, and departed 01831 to go 04198 into 01519 Macedonia 03109.

² And 01161 when he had gone over 01330 those 01565 parts 03313, and 02532 had given 04183 them 0846 much 04183 exhortation 03870, 3056, he came 02064 into 01519 Greece 01671,

³ And 05037 there abode 04160 three 05140 months 03376. And when the Jews 05259, 2453 laid 01096 wait 01917 for him 0846, as he was about 03195 to sail 0321 into 01519 Syria 04947, he purposed 01096, 1106 to return 05290 through 01223 Macedonia 03109.

⁴ And 01161 there accompanied 04902 him 0846 into 0891 Asia 0773 Sopater 04986 of Berea 0961; and 01161 of the Thessalonians 02331, Aristarchus 0708 and 02532 Secundus 04580; and 02532 Gaius 01050 of Derbe 01190, and 02532 Timothy 05095; and 01161 of Asia 0774, Tychicus 05190 and 02532 Trophimus 05161.

⁵ These 03778 going before 04281 tarried 03306 for us 02248 at 01722 Troas 05174.

⁶ And 01161 we 02249 sailed away 01602 from 0575 Philippi 05375 after 03326 the days 02250 of unleavened bread 0106, and 02532 came 02064 to 04314 them 0846 to 01519 Troas 05174 in 0891 five 04002 days 02250; where 03757 we abode 01304 seven 02033 days 02250.

⁷ And 01161 upon 01722 the first 03391 day of the week 04521, when the disciples 03101 came together 04863 to break 02806 bread 0740, Paul 03972 preached 01256 to them 0846, ready 03195 to depart 01826 on the next day 01887; and 05037 continued 03905 his speech 03056 until 03360 midnight 03317.

⁸ And 01161 there were 02258 many 02425 lights 02985 in 01722 the upper chamber 05253, where 03757 they were 02258 gathered together 04863.

⁹ And 01161 there sat 02521 in 01909 a window 02376 a certain 05100 young man 03494 named 03686 Eutychus 02161, having fallen 02702 into a deep 0901 sleep 05258: and as Paul 03972 was long 01909, 4119 preaching 01256, he sunk down 02702 with 0575 sleep 05258, and fell 02736, 4098 from 0575 the third loft 05152, and 02532 was taken up 0142 dead 03498.

¹⁰ And 01161 Paul 03972 went down 02597, and fell on 01968 him 0846, and 02532 embracing 04843 him said 02036, Trouble 02350 not 03361 yourselves 02350; for 01063 his 0846 life 05590 is 02076 in 01722 him 0846.

¹¹ When 01161 he 0305 had come up again 0305, and 02532 had broken 02806 bread 0740, and 02532 eaten 01089, and 05037 talked 03656, 1909 a long while 02425, even till 0891 break of day 0827, so 03779 he departed 01831.

¹² And 01161 they brought 071 the young man 03816 alive 02198, and 02532 were 03870 not 03756 a little 03357 comforted 03870.

¹³ And 01161 we 02249 went before 04281 to 01909 a ship 04143, and sailed 0321 to 01519 Assos 0789, there 01564 intending 03195 to take in 0353 Paul 03972: for 01063 so 03779 he 02258 had appointed 01299, intending 03195 himself 0846 to go on foot 03978.

¹⁴ And 01161 when 05613 he met 04820 with us 02254 at 01519 Assos 0789, we took 0353 him 0846 in 0353, and came 02064 to 01519 Mitylene 03412.

¹⁵ And 02547 we sailed 0636 from there 02547, and came 02658 the next 01966 day opposite 0481 Chios 05508; and 01161 the next 02087 day we arrived 03846 at 01519 Samos 04544, and 02532 tarried 03306 at 01722 Trogyllium 05175; and the next 02192 day we came 02064 to 01519 Miletus 03399.

¹⁶ For 01063 Paul 03972 had determined 02919 to sail by 03896 Ephesus 02181, because 03704 he 0846 would 01096 not 03361 spend the time 05551 in 01722 Asia 0773: for 01063 he hastened 04692, if 01487 it were 02258 possible 01415 for him 0846, to be 01096 at 01519 Jerusalem 02414 the day 02250 of Pentecost 04005.

¹⁷ And 01161 from 0575 Miletus 03399 he sent 03992 to 01519 Ephesus 02181, and called 03333 the elders 04245 of the church 01577.

¹⁸ And 01161 when 05613 they had come 03854 to 04314 him 0846, he said 02036 to them 0846, Ye 05210 know 01987, from 0575 the first 04413 day 02250 that 0575, 3739 I came 01910 into 01519 Asia 0773, after what manner 04459 I have been 01096 with 03326 you 05216 at all 03956 seasons 05550,

¹⁹ Serving 01398 the Lord 02962 with 03326 all 03956 humility of mind 05012, and 02532 with many 04183 tears 01144, and 02532 trials 03986, which 03588 befell 04819 me 03427 by 01722 the lying in wait 01917 of the Jews 02453:

²⁰ And how 05613 I kept back 05288 nothing 03762 that was profitable 04851 to you, but 03361 have shown 0312 you 05213, and 02532 have taught 01321 you 05209 publicly 01219, and 02532 from 02596 house to house 03624,

²¹ Testifying 01263 both 05037 to the Jews 02453, and also 02532 to the Greeks 01672, repentance 03341 toward 01519 God 02316, and 02532 faith 04102 toward 01519 our 02257 Lord 02962 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547.

²² And 02532 now 03568, behold 02400, I 01473 go 04198 bound 01210 in the spirit 04151 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419, not 03361 knowing 01492 the things that shall befall 04876 me 03427 there 01722, 846:

²³ Except 04133 that 03754 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 testifieth 01263 in every 02596 city 04172, saying 03004 that 03754 bonds 01199 and 02532 afflictions 02347 await 03306 me 03165. abide me: or, wait for me

²⁴ But 0235 none 03762 of these things 03056 move me 04160, neither 03761 count I 02192 my 03450 life 05590 dear 05093 to myself 01683, so 05613 that I may finish 05048 my 03450 course 01408 with 03326 joy 05479, and 02532 the ministry 01248, which 03739 I have received 02983 from 03844 the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424, to testify 01263 the gospel 02098 of the grace 05485 of God 02316.

²⁵ And 02532 now 03568, behold 02400, I 01473 know 01492 that 03754 ye 05210 all 03956, among 01722 whom 03739 I have gone 01330 preaching 02784 the kingdom 0932 of God 02316, shall see 03700 my 03450 face 04383 no more 03765.

²⁶ Therefore 01352 I testify to you 05213, 3143 this 01722, 4594 day 02250, that 03754 I 01473 am pure 02513 from 0575 the blood 0129 of all 03956 men.

²⁷ For 01063 I have 05288 not 03756, 3361 shunned 05288 to declare 0312 to you 05213 all 03956 the counsel 01012 of God 02316.

²⁸ Take heed 04337 therefore 03767 to yourselves 01438, and 02532 to all 03956 the flock 04168, over 01722 which 03739 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 hath made 05087 you 05209 overseers 01985, to feed 04165 the church 01577 of God 02316, which 03739 he hath purchased 04046 with 01223 his own 02398 blood 0129.

²⁹ For 01063 I 01473 know 01492 this 05124, that 03754 after 03326 my 03450 departure 0867 grievous 0926 wolves 03074 shall enter in 01525 among 01519 you 05209, not 03361 sparing 05339 the flock 04168.

³⁰ Also 02532 from 01537 your 05216 own selves 0846 shall 0450 men 0435 arise 0450, speaking 02980 perverse things 01294, to draw away 0645 disciples 03101 after 03694 them 0846.

³¹ Therefore 01352 watch 01127, and remember 03421, that 03754 by the space of three years 05148 I ceased 03973 not 03756 to warn 03560 every 01538 one 01520 night 03571 and 02532 day 02250 with 03326 tears 01144.

³² And 02532 now 03569, brethren 080, I commend 03908 you 05209 to God 02316, and 02532 to the word 03056 of his 0846 grace 05485, which 03588 is able 01410 to build you up 02026, and 02532 to give 01325 you 05213 an inheritance 02817 among 01722 all 03956 them who are sanctified 037.

³³ I have coveted 01937 no man’s 03762 silver 0694, or 02228 gold 05553, or 02228 apparel 02441.

³⁴ Yea 01161, ye yourselves 0846 know 01097, that 03754 these 03778 hands 05495 have ministered 05256 to my 03450 necessities 05532, and 02532 to them that were 05607 with 03326 me 01700.

³⁵ I have shown 05263 you 05213 all things 03956, that 03754 so 03779 labouring 02872 ye ought 01163 to support 0482 the weak 0770, and 05037 to remember 03421 the words 03056 of the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424, that 03754 he 0846 said 02036, It is 02076 more 03123 blessed 03107 to give 01325 than 02228 to receive 02983.

³⁶ And 02532 when he had thus 05023 spoken 02036, he 0846 kneeled 01119 down 05087, and prayed 04336 with 04862 them 0846 all 03956.

³⁷ And 01161 they all 03956 wept 02805, 1096 bitterly 02425, and 02532 fell 01968 on 01909 Paul’s 03972 neck 05137, and kissed 02705 him 0846,

³⁸ Sorrowing 03600 most of all 03122 for 01909 the words 03056 which 03739 he spoke 02046, that 03754 they should 03195 see 02334 his 0846 face 04383 no more 03765. And 01161 they accompanied 04311 him 0846 to 01519 the ship 04143.

21

¹ And 01161 it came to pass 01096, that after 05613 we 02248 were separated 0645 from 0575 them 0846, and had launched 0321, we came 02064 with a straight course 02113 to 01519 Coos 02972, and 01161 the day following 01836 to 01519 Rhodes 04499, and from there 02547 to 01519 Patara 03959:

² And 02532 finding 02147 a ship 04143 sailing over 01276 to 01519 Phenicia 05403, we went aboard 01910, and set forth 0321.

³ Now 01161 when we had come in sight of 0398 Cyprus 02532, 2954, we left 02641 it 0846 on the left hand 02176, and sailed 04126 into 01519 Syria 04947, and 02532 landed 02609 at 01519 Tyre 05184: for 01063 there 01566 the ship 04143 was 02258 to unload 0670 her cargo 01117.

⁴ And 02532 finding 0429 disciples 03101, we tarried 01961 there 0847 seven 02033 days 02250: who 03748 said 03004 to Paul 03972 through 01223 the Spirit 04151, that he should 0305 not 03361 go up 0305 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419.

⁵ And 01161 when 03753 we 02248 had 01096 come to the end of 01822 those days 02250, we departed 01831 and went on our way 04198; and they all 03956 accompanied 04311 us 02248 on our way 04311, with 04862 wives 01135 and 02532 children 05043, till 02193 we were out of 01854 the city 04172: and 02532 we kneeled down 05087, 1119 on 01909 the shore 0123, and prayed 04336.

⁶ And 02532 when we had taken our leave 0782 one of another 0240, we took 01910, 1519 ship 04143; and 01161 they 01565 returned 05290, 1519 home 02398 again 05290.

⁷ And 01161 when we 02249 had finished 01274 our course 04144 from 0575 Tyre 05184, we came 02658 to 01519 Ptolemais 04424, and 02532 greeted 0782 the brethren 080, and abode 03306 with 03844 them 0846 one 03391 day 02250.

⁸ And 01161 the next 01887 day we that were of 04012 Paul’s 03972 company 04012 departed 01831, and came 02064 to 01519 Caesarea 02542: and 02532 we entered 01525 into 01519 the house 03624 of Philip 05376 the evangelist 02099, who was 05607 one of 01537 the seven 02033; and abode 03306 with 03844 him 0846.

⁹ And 01161 the same man 05129 had 02258 four 05064 daughters 02364, virgins 03933, who prophesied 04395.

¹⁰ And 01161 as we 02257 tarried 01961 there many 04119 days 02250, there came down 02718 from 0575 Judaea 02449 a certain 05100 prophet 04396, named 03686 Agabus 013.

¹¹ And 02532 when he had come 02064 to 04314 us 02532, 2248, he took 0142 Paul’s 03972 belt 02223, and 05037 bound 01210 his own 0846 hands 05495 and 02532 feet 04228, and said 02036, Thus 03592 saith 03004 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151, So 03779 shall 01210 the Jews 02453 at 01722 Jerusalem 02419 bind 01210 the man 0435 that 03739 owneth 02076 this 03778 belt 02223, and 02532 shall deliver 03860 him into 01519 the hands 05495 of the Gentiles 01484.

¹² And 01161 when 05613 we heard 0191 these things 05023, both 05037 we 02249, and 02532 they of that place 01786, besought 03870 him 0846 not 03361 to go up 0305 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419.

¹³ Then 01161 Paul 03972 answered 0611, What 05101 mean ye 04160 to weep 02799 and 02532 to break 04919 my 03450 heart 02588? for 01063 I 01473 am 02192 ready 02093 not 03756 to be bound 01210 only 03440, but 02532 also 0235 to die 0599 at 01519 Jerusalem 02419 for 05228 the name 03686 of the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424.

¹⁴ And 01161 when he 0846 would 03982 not 03361 be persuaded 03982, we ceased 02270, saying 02036, The will 02307 of the Lord 02962 be done 01096.

¹⁵ And 01161 after 03326 those 05025 days 02250 we got ready 0643, and went up 0305 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419.

¹⁶ 01161 There went 04905 with 04862 us 02254 also 02532 certain of the disciples 03101 of 0575 Caesarea 02542, and brought 071 with them 03844 one 05100 Mnason 03416 of Cyprus 02953, an early 0744 disciple 03101, with whom 03739 we should lodge 03579.

¹⁷ And 01161 when we 02257 had come 01096 to 01519 Jerusalem 02414, the brethren 080 received 01209 us 02248 gladly 0780.

¹⁸ And 01161 the day following 01966 Paul 03972 went in 01524 with 04862 us 02254 to 04314 James 02385; and 05037 all 03956 the elders 04245 were present 03854.

¹⁹ And 02532 when he had greeted 0782 them 0846, he declared 01834 particularly 02596, 1520, 1538 what things 03739 God 02316 had wrought 04160 among 01722 the Gentiles 01484 by 01223 his 0846 ministry 01248.

²⁰ And 01161 when they heard 0191 it, they glorified 01392 the Lord 02962, and 05037 said 02036 to him 0846, Thou seest 02334, brother 080, how many 04214 thousands 03461 of Jews 02453 there are 01526 who 03588 believe 04100; and 02532 they are 05225 all 03956 zealous 02207 of the law 03551:

²¹ And 01161 they are informed 02727 concerning 04012 thee 04675, that 03754 thou teachest 01321 all 03956 the Jews 02453 who are among 02596 the Gentiles 01484 to 0575 forsake 0646 Moses 03475, saying 03004 that they 0846 ought 04059 not 03361 to circumcise 04059 their children 05043, neither 03366 to walk 04043 after the customs 01485.

²² What 05101 is it 02076 therefore 03767? the multitude 04128 must 01163 needs 03843 come together 04905: for 01063 they will hear 0191 that 03754 thou art come 02064.

²³ Do 04160 therefore 03767 this 05124 that 03739 we say 03004 to thee 04671: We 02254 have 01526 four 05064 men 0435 who have 02171 a vow 02192 on 01909 them 01438;

²⁴ Take 03880 them 05128 and purify thyself 048 with 04862 them 0846, and 02532 pay 01159 their 01909, 846 expenses 01159 that 02443 they may shave 03587 their heads 02776: and 02532 all 03956 may know 01097 that those things 03754, of which 03739 they were informed 02727 concerning 04012 thee 04675, are 02076 nothing 03762; but 0235 that thou thyself 0846 also 02532 walkest orderly 04748, and keepest 05442 the law 03551.

²⁵ As 01161 concerning 04012 the Gentiles 01484 who believe 04100, we 02249 have written 01989 and concluded 02919 that they 0846 observe 05083 no 03367 such thing 05108, except 01508 that they keep 05442 themselves 0846 from 05037 things offered to idols 01494, and 02532 from blood 0129, and 02532 from strangled 04156, and 02532 from immorality 04202.

²⁶ Then 05119 Paul 03972 took 03880 the men 0435, and the next 02192 day 02250 purifying himself 048 with 04862 them 0846 entered 01524 into 01519 the temple 02411, to signify 01229 the accomplishment 01604 of the days 02250 of purification 049, until 02193, 3739 an offering 04376 should be offered 04374 for 05228 every 01538 one 01520 of them 0846.

²⁷ And 01161 when 05613 the seven 02033 days 02250 were almost 03195 ended 04931, the Jews 02453 who were from 0575 Asia 0773, when they saw 02300 him 0846 in 01722 the temple 02411, stirred up 04797 all 03956 the people 03793, and 02532 laid 01911 hands 05495 on 01909 him 0846,

²⁸ Crying out 02896, Men 0435 of Israel 02475, help 0997: This 03778 is 02076 the man 0444, that teacheth 01321 all 03956 men every where 03837 against 02596 the people 02992, and 02532 the law 03551, and 02532 this 05126 place 05117: and 05037 further 02089 hath brought 01521 Greeks 01672 also 02532 into 01519 the temple 02411, and 02532 hath polluted 02840 this 05127 holy 040 place 05117.

²⁹ (For 01063 they had 02258 seen before 04308 with 04862 him 0846 in 01722 the city 04172 Trophimus 05161 an Ephesian 02180, whom 03739 they supposed 03543 that 03754 Paul 03972 had brought 01521 into 01519 the temple 02411.)

³⁰ And 05037 all 03650 the city 04172 was moved 02795, and 02532 the people 02992 ran together 01096, 4890: and 02532 they took 01949 Paul 03972, and drew 01670 him 0846 out of 01854 the temple 02411: and 02532 immediately 02112 the doors 02374 were shut 02808.

³¹ And 01161 as they went about 02212 to kill 0615 him 0846, tidings 05334 came 0305 to the chief captain 05506 of the band 04686, that 03754 all 03650 Jerusalem 02419 was in an uproar 04797.

³² Who 03739 immediately 01824 took 03880 soldiers 04757 and 02532 centurions 01543, and ran down 02701 to 01909 them 0846: and 01161 when they saw 01492 the chief captain 05506 and 02532 the soldiers 04757, they stopped 03973 beating 05180 Paul 03972.

³³ Then 05119 the chief captain 05506 came near 01448, and took 01949 him 0846, and 02532 commanded 02753 him to be bound with 01210 two 01417 chains 0254; and 02532 demanded 04441 who 05101 he was 0302, 1498, and 02532 what 05101 he had 02076 done 04160.

³⁴ And 01161 some 0243 cried 0994 one thing 05100, some another 0243, among 01722 the multitude 03793: and 01161 when he could 01410 not 03361 know 01097 the certainty 0804 for 01223 the tumult 02351, he commanded 02753 him 0846 to be carried 071 into 01519 the barracks 03925.

³⁵ And 01161 when 03753 he came 01096 upon 01909 the stairs 0304, so it was 04819, that he was borne 0941 by 05259 the soldiers 04757 for 01223 the violence 0970 of the people 03793.

³⁶ For 01063 the multitude 04128 of the people 02992 followed 0190, crying 02896, Away 0142 with him 0846.

³⁷ And 05037 as Paul 03972 was to be 03195 led 01521 into 01519 the barracks 03925, he said 03004 to the chief captain 05506, May 01487, 1832 I 03427 speak 02036, 5100 to 04314 thee 01161, 4571? Who 03588 said 05346, Canst thou speak 01097 Greek 01676?

³⁸ Art 01488 not 03756 thou 04771, 686 that Egyptian 0124, who before 04253 these 05130 days 02250 madest an uproar 0387, and 02532 leddest out 01806 into 01519 the wilderness 02048 four thousand 05070 men 0435 that were murderers 04607?

³⁹ But 01161 Paul 03972 said 02036, I 01473 am 01510, 3303 a man 0444 who is a Jew 02453 of Tarsus 05018, a city of Cilicia 02791, a citizen 04177 of no 03756 mean 0767 city 04172: and 01161, I beseech 01189 thee 04675, permit 02010 me 03427 to speak 02980 to 04314 the people 02992.

⁴⁰ And 01161 when he had given 02010 him 0846 permission 02010, Paul 03972 stood 02476 on 01909 the stairs 0304, and beckoned 02678 with the hand 05495 to the people 02992. And 01161 when there was made 01096 a great 04183 silence 04602, he spoke 04377 to them in the Hebrew 01446 language 01258, saying 03004,

22

¹ Men 0435, brethren 080, and 02532 fathers 03962, hear ye 0191 my 03450 defence 0627 which I make now 03568 to 04314 you 05209.

² (And 01161 when they heard 0191 that 03754 he spoke 04377 to them 0846 in the Hebrew 01446 language 01258, they kept 03930 the more 03123 silence 02271: and 02532 he saith 05346,)

³ I 01473 am 01510 verily 03303 a man 0435 who is a Jew 02453, born 01080 in 01722 Tarsus 05019, a city in Cilicia 02791, yet 01161 brought up 0397 in 01722 this 05026 city 04172 at 03844 the feet 04228 of Gamaliel 01059, and taught 03811 according 02596 to the perfect manner 0195 of the law 03551 of the fathers 03971, being 05225 zealous 02207 toward God 02316, as 02531 ye 05210 all 03956 are 02075 this day 04594.

⁴ And I 03739 persecuted 01377 this 05026 way 03598 to 0891 the death 02288, binding 01195 and 02532 delivering 03860 into 01519 prisons 05438 both 05037 men 0435 and 02532 women 01135.

⁵ As 05613 also 02532 the high priest 0749 doth bear 03140 me 03427 witness 03140, and 02532 all 03956 the council of the elders 04244: from 03844 whom 03739 also 02532 I received 01209 letters 01992 to 04314 the brethren 080, and 02532 went 04198 to 01519 Damascus 01154, to bring 071 them who were 05607 there 01566 bound 01210 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419, to 02443 be punished 05097.

⁶ And 01161 it came to pass 01096, that, as I was on 04198 my 03427 journey 04198, and 02532 had come near 01448 to Damascus 01154 about 04012 noon 03314, suddenly 01810 there shone 04015 from 01537 heaven 03772 a great 02425 light 05457 around 04015, 4012 me 01691.

⁷ And 05037 I fell 04098 to 01519 the ground 01475, and 02532 heard 0191 a voice 05456 saying 03004 to me 03427, Saul 04549, Saul 04549, why 05101 persecutest thou 01377 me 03165?

⁸ And 01161 I 01473 answered 0611, Who 05101 art thou 01488, Lord 02962? And 05037 he said 02036 to 04314 me 03165, I 01473 am 01510 Jesus 02424 of Nazareth 03480, whom 03739 thou 04771 persecutest 01377.

⁹ And 01161 they that were 05607 with 04862 me 01698 saw 02300 indeed 03303 the light 05457, and 02532 were 01096 afraid 01719; but 01161 they heard 0191 not 03756 the voice 05456 of him that spoke 02980 to me 03427.

¹⁰ And 01161 I said 02036, What 05101 shall I do 04160, Lord 02962? And 01161 the Lord 02962 said 02036 to 04314 me 03165, Arise 0450, and go 04198 into 01519 Damascus 01154; and there 02546 it shall be told 02980 thee 04671 concerning 04012 all things 03956 which 03739 are appointed 05021 for thee 04671 to do 04160.

¹¹ And 01161 when 05613 I could 01689 not 03756 see 01689 for 0575 the glory 01391 of that 01565 light 05457, being led by the hand 05496 of 05259 them that were 04895 with me 03427, I came 02064 into 01519 Damascus 01154.

¹² And 01161 one 05100 Ananias 0367, a devout 02152 man 0435 according 02596 to the law 03551, having a good report 03140 of 05259 all 03956 the Jews 02453 who dwelt 02730 there,

¹³ Came 02064 to 04314 me 03165, and 02532 stood 02186, and said 02036 to me 03427, Brother 080 Saul 04549, receive thy sight 0308. And 02504 the same 0846 hour 05610 I 02504 looked up 0308 upon 01519 him 0846.

¹⁴ And 01161 he said 02036, The God 02316 of our 02257 fathers 03962 hath chosen 04400 thee 04571, that thou shouldest know 01097 his 0846 will 02307, and 02532 see 01492 that Just One 01342, and 02532 shouldest hear 0191 the voice 05456 of 01537 his 0846 mouth 04750.

¹⁵ For 03754 thou shalt be 02071 his 0846 witness 03144 to 04314 all 03956 men 0444 of what 03739 thou hast seen 03708 and 02532 heard 0191.

¹⁶ And 02532 now 03568 why 05101 tarriest thou 03195? arise 0450, and be baptized 0907, and 02532 wash away 0628 thy 04675 sins 0266, calling on 01941 the name 03686 of the Lord 02962.

¹⁷ And 01161 it came to pass 01096, that, when I 03427 had come again 05290 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419, even 02532 while I 03450 prayed 04336 in 01722 the temple 02411, I 03165 was 01096 in 01722 a trance 01611;

¹⁸ And 02532 saw 01492 him 0846 saying 03004 to me 03427, Make haste 04692, and 02532 depart 01831 quickly 05034, 1722 from 01537 Jerusalem 02419: for 01360 they will 03858 not 03756 receive 03858 thy 04675 testimony 03141 concerning 04012 me 01700.

¹⁹ And I 02504 said 02036, Lord 02962, they 0846 know 01987 that 03754 I 01473 imprisoned 02252, 5439 and 02532 beat 01194 in every 02596 synagogue 04864 them that believed 04100 on 01909 thee 04571:

²⁰ And 02532 when 03753 the blood 0129 of thy 04675 martyr 03144 Stephen 04736 was shed 01632, I 0846 also 02532 was 02252 standing by 02186, and 02532 consenting 04909 to his 0846 death 0336, and 02532 kept 05442 the raiment 02440 of them that slew 0337 him 0846.

²¹ And 02532 he said 02036 to 04314 me 03165, Depart 04198: for 03754 I 01473 will send 01821 thee 04571 far away 03112 to 01519 the Gentiles 01484.

²² And 01161 they hearkened 0191 to him 0846 until 0891 this 05127 word 03056, and 02532 then lifted up 01869 their 0846 voices 05456, and said 03004, Away with 0142 such 05108 a fellow from 0575 the earth 01093: for 01063 it is 02520 not 03756 fit 02520 that he 0846 should live 02198.

²³ And 01161 as they 0846 cried out 02905, and 02532 cast off 04495 their clothes 02440, and 02532 threw 0906 dust 02868 into 01519 the air 0109,

²⁴ The chief captain 05506 commanded 02753 him 0846 to be brought 071 into 01519 the barracks 03925, and bade 02036 that he 0846 should be examined 0426 by scourging 03148; that 02443 he might know 01921 for 01223 what 03739 cause 0156 they cried 02019 so 03779 against 02019 him 0846.

²⁵ And 01161 as 05613 they bound 04385 him 0846 with thongs 02438, Paul 03972 said 02036 to 04314 the centurion 01543 that stood by 02476, Is it lawful 01487, 1832 for you 05213 to scourge 03147 a man 0444 that is a Roman 04514, and 02532 uncondemned 0178?

²⁶ When 01161 the centurion 01543 heard 0191 that, he went 04334 and told 0518 the chief captain 05506, saying 03004, Take heed 03708 what 05101 thou doest 03195, 4160: for 01063 this 03778 man 0444 is 02076 a Roman 04514.

²⁷ Then 01161 the chief captain 05506 came 04334, and said 02036 to him 0846, Tell 03004 me 01487, 3427, art 01488 thou 04771 a Roman 01161, 4514? He said 05346, Yea 03483.

²⁸ And 05037 the chief captain 05506 answered 0611, With a great 04183 sum 02774 I 01473 obtained 02932 this 05026 freedom 04174. And 01161 Paul 03972 said 05346, But 01161 I 01473, 2532 was free born 01080.

²⁹ Then 03767 immediately 02112 they departed 0868 from 0575 him 0846 who 03588 were about to 03195 examine 0426 him 0846: and 01161 the chief captain 05506 also 02532 was afraid 05399, after he knew 01921 that 03754 he was 02076 a Roman 04514, and 02532 because 03754 he had 02258 bound 01210 him 0846. examined him: or, tortured him

³⁰ 01161 On the next day 01887, because he would 01014 have known 01097 the certainty 0804 why 05101 he was accused 02723 by 03844 the Jews 02453, he loosed 03089 him 0846 from 0575 his bands 01199, and 02532 commanded 02753 the chief priests 0749 and 02532 all 03650 their 0846 council 04892 to appear 02064, and 02532 brought 02609 Paul 03972 down 02609, and set him 02476 before 01519 them 0846.

23

¹ And 01161 Paul 03972, earnestly beholding 0816 the council 04892, said 02036, Men 0435, brethren 080, I 01473 have lived 04176 in all 03956 good 018 conscience 04893 before God 02316 until 0891 this 05026 day 02250.

² And 01161 the high priest 0749 Ananias 0367 commanded 02004 them that stood by 03936 him 0846 to strike 05180 him 0846 on the mouth 04750.

³ Then 05119 said 02036 Paul 03972 to 04314 him 0846, God 02316 shall 03195 smite 05180 thee 04571, thou whitewashed 02867 wall 05109: for 02532 sittest 02521 thou 04771 to judge 02919 me 03165 according to 02596 the law 03551, and 02532 commandest 02753 me 03165 to be smitten 05180 contrary to the law 03891?

⁴ And 01161 they that stood by 03936 said 02036, Revilest thou 03058 God’s 02316 high priest 0749?

⁵ Then 05037 said 05346 Paul 03972, I knew 01492 not 03756, brethren 080, that 03754 he is 02076 the high priest 0749: for 01063 it is written 01125, Thou shalt 02046 not 03756 speak 02046 evil 02560 of the ruler 0758 of thy 04675 people 02992.

⁶ But 01161 when Paul 03972 perceived 01097 that 03754 the one 01520 part 03313 were 02076 Sadducees 04523, and 01161 the other 02087 Pharisees 05330, he cried out 02896 in 01722 the council 04892, Men 0435, brethren 080, I 01473 am 01510 a Pharisee 05330, the son 05207 of a Pharisee 05330: concerning 04012 the hope 01680 and 02532 resurrection 0386 of the dead 03498 I 01473 am called in question 02919.

⁷ And 01161 when he 0846 had 02980 so 05124 said 02980, there arose 01096 a dissension 04714 between the Pharisees 05330 and 02532 the Sadducees 04523: and 02532 the multitude 04128 was divided 04977.

⁸ For 01063, 3303 the Sadducees 04523 say 03004 that there is 01511 no 03361 resurrection 0386, neither 03366 angel 032, nor 03383 spirit 04151: but 01161 the Pharisees 05330 confess 03670 both 0297.

⁹ And 01161 there arose 01096 a great 03173 cry 02906: and 02532 the scribes 01122 that were of the Pharisees 05330’ part 03313 arose 0450, and contended 01264, saying 03004, We find 02147 no 03762 evil 02556 in 01722 this 05129 man 0444: but 01161 if 01487 a spirit 04151 or 02228 an angel 032 hath spoken 02980 to him 0846, let us 02313 not 03361 fight 02313 against God.

¹⁰ And 01161 when there arose 01096 a great 04183 dissension 04714, the chief captain 05506, fearing 02125 lest 03361 Paul 03972 should have been pulled in pieces 01288 by 05259 them 0846, commanded 02753 the soldiers 04753 to go down 02597, and to take 0726 him 0846 by force 0726 from 01537 among 03319 them 0846, and 05037 to bring 071 him into 01519 the barracks 03925.

¹¹ And 01161 the night 03571 following 01966 the Lord 02962 stood by 02186 him 0846, and said 02036, Be of good cheer 02293, Paul 03972: for 01063 as 05613 thou hast testified 01263 concerning 04012 me 01700 in 01519 Jerusalem 02419, so 03779 must 01163 thou 04571 bear testimony 03140 also 02532 at 01519 Rome 04516.

¹² And 01161 when it was 01096 day 02250, certain 05100 of the Jews 02453 banded together 04160, 4963, and bound 0332 themselves 01438 under a curse 0332, saying 03004 that they would 05315 neither 03383 eat 05315 nor 03383 drink 04095 till 02193, 3739 they had killed 0615 Paul 03972. under a curse: or, with an oath of execration

¹³ And 01161 they were 02258 more than 04119 forty 05062 who 03588 had made 04160 this 05026 conspiracy 04945.

¹⁴ And they 03748 came to 04334 the chief priests 0749 and 02532 elders 04245, and said 02036, We have bound 0332 ourselves 01438 under a great curse 0331, that we will eat 01089 nothing 03367 until 02193, 3739 we have slain 0615 Paul 03972.

¹⁵ Now 03568 therefore 03767 ye 05210 with 04862 the council 04892 signify 01718 to the chief captain 05506 that 03704 he bring 02609 him 0846 down 02609 to 04314 you 05209 to morrow 0839, as 05613 though ye would 03195 enquire 01231 something more perfectly 0197 concerning 04012 him 0846: and 01161 we 02249, before 04253 he 0846 shall come near 01448, are 02070 ready 02092 to kill 0337 him 0846.

¹⁶ And 01161 when the son 05207 of Paul’s 03972 sister 079 heard 0191 of their lying in wait 01749, he went 03854 and 02532 entered 01525 into 01519 the barracks 03925, and told 0518 Paul 03972.

¹⁷ Then 01161 Paul 03972 called 04341 one 01520 of the centurions 01543 to him, and said 05346, Bring 0520 this 05126 young man 03494 to 04314 the chief captain 05506: for 01063 he hath 02192 a certain thing 05100 to tell 0518 him 0846.

¹⁸ So 03767, 3303 he took 03880 him 0846, and brought 071 him to 04314 the chief captain 05506, and 02532 said 05346, Paul 03972 the prisoner 01198 called 04341 me 03165 to him, and asked me 02065 to bring 071 this 05126 young man 03494 to 04314 thee 04571, who hath 02192 something 05100 to say 02980 to thee 04671.

¹⁹ Then 01161 the chief captain 05506 took 01949 him 0846 by the hand 05495, and 02532 went with him aside 0402 privately 02596, 2398, and asked 04441 him, What 05101 is 02076 that 03739 thou hast 02192 to tell 0518 me 03427?

²⁰ And 01161 he said 02036, 3754, The Jews 02453 have agreed 04934 to desire 02065 thee 04571 that 03704 thou wouldest bring down 02609 Paul 03972 to morrow 0839 into 01519 the council 04892, as 05613 though they would 03195 enquire 04441 somewhat 05100 concerning 04012 him 0846 more perfectly 0197.

²¹ But 03767 do 03982 not 03361 thou 04771 yield 03982 to them 0846: for 01063 there are of 01537 them 0846 who lie in wait for 01748 him 0846 more than 04119 forty 05062 men 0435, who 03748 have bound 0332 themselves 01438 with an oath 0332, that they will 05315 neither 03383 eat 05315 nor 03383 drink 04095 till 02193, 3739 they have killed 0337 him 0846: and 02532 now 03568 they are 01526 ready 02092, looking for 04327 a promise 01860 from 0575 thee 04675.

²² So 03303, 3767 the chief captain 05506 then let 0630 the young man 03494 depart 0630, and charged 03853 him, See thou tell 01583 no man 03367 that 03754 thou hast shown 01718 these things 05023 to 04314 me 03165.

²³ And 02532 he called to 04341 him 05100two 01417 centurions 01543, saying 02036, Make ready 02090 two hundred 01250 soldiers 04757 to 03704 go 04198 to 02193 Caesarea 02542, and 02532 seventy 01440 horsemen 02460, and 02532 spearmen 01187 two hundred 01250, at 0575 the third 05154 hour 05610 of the night 03571;

²⁴ And 05037 provide 03936 for them beasts 02934, that 02443 they may set 01913 Paul 03972 on 01913, and bring him safe 01295 to 04314 Felix 05344 the governor 02232.

²⁵ And he wrote 01125 a letter 01992 after 04023 this 05126 manner 05179:

²⁶ Claudius 02804 Lysias 03079 to the most excellent 02903 governor 02232 Felix 05344 sendeth greeting 05463.

²⁷ This 05126 man 0435 was taken 04815 by 05259 the Jews 02453, and 02532 should 03195 have been killed 0337 by 05259 them 0846: then I came 02186 with 04862 a body of soldiers 04753, and rescued 01807 him 0846, having understood 03129 that 03754 he was 02076 a Roman 04514.

²⁸ And 01161 when 01014 I would 01014 have known 01097 the cause 0156 for 01223 which 03739 they accused 01458 him 0846, I brought 02609 him 0846 forth 02609 into 01519 their 0846 council 04892:

²⁹ Whom 03739 I perceived 02147 to be accused 01458 of 04012 questions 02213 of their 0846 law 03551, but 01161 to have 02192 nothing 03367 laid to his charge 01462 worthy 0514 of death 02288 or 02228 of bonds 01199.

³⁰ And 01161 when it was told 03377 to me 03427 that 05259 the Jews 02453 laid wait 01917, 3195, 1510 for 01519 the man 0435, I sent 03992 immediately 01824 to 04314 thee 04571, and gave commandment 03853 to his accusers 02725 also 02532 to say 03004 before 01909 thee 04675 what they had against 04314 him 0846. Farewell 04517.

³¹ Then 03767, 3303 the soldiers 04757, as 02596 it was commanded 01299 them 0846, took 0353 Paul 03972, and brought 071 him by 01223 night 03571 to 01519 Antipatris 0494.

³² 01161 On the next day 01887 they left 01439 the horsemen 02460 to go 04198 with 04862 him 0846, and returned 05290 to 01519 the barracks 03925:

³³ Who 03748, when they came 01525 to 01519 Caesarea 02542, and 02532 delivered 0325 the epistle 01992 to the governor 02232, presented 03936 Paul 03972 also 02532 before him 0846.

³⁴ And 01161 when the governor 02232 had read 0314 the letter 02532, he asked 01905 of 01537 what 04169 province 01885 he was 02076. And 02532 when he understood 04441 that 03754 he was of 0575 Cilicia 02791;

³⁵ I will hear 01251 thee 04675, said he 05346, when 03752 thy 04675 accusers 02725, 3854 also 02532 have come 03854. And 05037 he commanded 02753 him 0846 to be kept 05442 in 01722 Herod’s 02264 judgment hall 04232.

24

¹ And 01161 after 03326 five 04002 days 02250 Ananias 0367 the high priest 0749 descended 02597 with 03326 the elders 04245, and 02532 with a certain 05100 orator 04489 named Tertullus 05061, who 03748 informed 01718 the governor 02232 against 02596 Paul 03972.

² And 01161 when he 0846 was called forth 02564, Tertullus 05061 began 0756 to accuse 02723 him, saying 03004, Seeing that by 01223 thee 04675 we enjoy 05177 great 04183 quietness 01515, and 02532 that very worthy deeds 02735 are done 01096 to this 05129 nation 01484 by 01223 thy 04674 providence 04307,

³ 05037 We accept 0588 it always 03839, and 02532 in all places 03837, most noble 02903 Felix 05344, with 03326 all 03956 thankfulness 02169.

⁴ However 01161, that 03363 I may 04119 not 03363, 1909 be further 04119 tedious 01465 to thee 04571, I beseech 03870 thee 04571 that thou wouldest of thy 04674 clemency 01932 hear 0191 us 02257 a few words 04935.

⁵ For 01063 we have found 02147 this 05126 man 0435 a pestilent 03061 fellow, and 02532 a mover 02795 of sedition 04714 among all 03956 the Jews 02453 throughout 02596 the world 03625, and 05037 a ringleader 04414 of the sect 0139 of the Nazarenes 03480:

⁶ Who 03739 also 02532 hath gone about 03985 to profane 0953 the temple 02532, 2411: whom 03739 we took 02902, and 02532 would 02309 have judged 02919 according 02596 to our 02251 law 03551.

⁷ But 01161 the chief captain 05506 Lysias 03079 came 03928, and with 03326 great 04183 violence 0970 took him 0520 out of 01537 our 02257 hands 05495,

⁸ Commanding 02753 his 0846 accusers 02725 to come 02064 to 01909 thee 04571: by examining 0350, 3844 whom 03739 thou thyself 0846 mayest 01410 take knowledge 01921 of 04012 all 03956 these things 05130, of which 03739 we 02249 accuse 02723 him 0846.

⁹ And 01161 the Jews 02453 also 02532 assented 04934, saying 05335 that these things 05023 were 02192 so 03779.

¹⁰ Then 01161 Paul 03972, after the governor 02232 had beckoned 03506 to him 0846 to speak 03004, answered 0611, Forasmuch as I know 01987 that thou 04571 hast been 05607 for 01537 many 04183 years 02094 a judge 02923 to this 05129 nation 01484, I do 0626 the more cheerfully 02115 answer 0626 for 04012 myself 01683:

¹¹ That thou 04675 mayest 01410 understand 01097, that 03754 there are 01526 yet but 02228, 3756 twelve 01177 days 02250, 4119 since 0575, 3739 I 03427 went up 0305 to 01722 Jerusalem 02419 to worship 04352.

¹² And 02532 they neither 03777 found 02147 me 03165 in 01722 the temple 02411 disputing 01256 with 04314 any man 05100, neither 02228 provoking 01999, 4160 the people 03793 to sedition 01999, neither 03777 in 01722 the synagogues 04864, nor 03777 in 02596 the city 04172:

¹³ Neither 03777 can 01410 they prove 03936, 3165 the things 04012 of which 03739 they 02723 now 03568 accuse 02723 me 03450.

¹⁴ But 01161 this 05124 I confess 03670 to thee 04671, that 03754 after 02596 the way 03598 which 03739 they call 03004 heresy 0139, so 03779 I worship 03000 the God 02316 of my fathers 03971, believing 04100 all things 03956 which 03588 are written 01125 in 02596 the law 03551 and 02532 in 01722 the prophets 04396:

¹⁵ And have 02192 hope 01680 toward 01519 God 02316, which 03739 they 03778 themselves 0846 also 02532 allow 04327, that there shall be 03195, 1510 a resurrection 0386 of the dead 03498, both 05037 of the just 01342 and 02532 unjust 094.

¹⁶ And 01161 in 01722 this 05129 I exercise 0778 myself 0846, to have 02192 always 01275 a conscience 04893 void of offence 0677 toward 04314 God 02316, and 02532 toward men 0444.

¹⁷ Now 01161 after 01223 many 04119 years 02094 I came 03854 to bring 04160 alms 01654 to 01519 my 03450 nation 01484, and 02532 offerings 04376.

¹⁸ 01161 Upon 01722 which 03739 certain 05100 Jews 02453 from 0575 Asia 0773 found 02147 me 03165 purified 048 in 01722 the temple 02411, neither 03756 with 03326 multitude 03793, nor 03761 with 03326 tumult 02351.

¹⁹ Who 03739 ought 01163 to have been here 03918 before 01909 thee 04675, and 02532 object 02723, if 01536 they had 02192 any thing 01536 against 04314 me 03165.

²⁰ Or else 02228 let 02036 these 0846 same 03778 here say 02036, if 01536 they have found 02147 any 01536 evil doing 092 in 01722 me 01698, while I 03450 stood 02476 before 01909 the council 04892,

²¹ Except 02228 it is for 04012 this 05026 one 03391 thing 05456, that 03739 I cried 02896 standing 02476 among 01722 them 0846, Concerning 03754, 4012 the resurrection 0386 of the dead 03498 I 01473 am called in question 02919 by 05259 you 05216 this day 04594.

²² And 01161 when Felix 05344 heard 0191 these things 05023, having more perfect 0197 knowledge 01492 of 04012 that way 03598, he deferred 0306 them 0846, and said 02036, When 03752 Lysias 03079 the chief captain 05506 shall come down 02597, I will make a decision 01231 on your 05209 case 02596.

²³ And 05037 he commanded 01299 a centurion 01543 to keep 05083 Paul 03972, and 05037 to let him have 02192 liberty 0425, and 02532 that he should forbid 02967 none 03367 of his 0846 acquaintance 02398 to minister 05256 or 02228 come 04334 to him 0846.

²⁴ And 01161 after 03326 certain 05100 days 02250, when Felix 05344 came 03854 with 04862 his 0846 wife 01135 Drusilla 01409, who was 05607 a Jewess 02453, he sent for 03343 Paul 03972, and 02532 heard 0191 him 0846 concerning 04012 the faith 04102 in 01519 Christ 05547.

²⁵ And 01161 as he 0846 reasoned 01256 of 04012 righteousness 01343, self–control 02532, 1466, and 02532 judgment 02917 to come 03195, 1510, Felix 05344 trembled 01096, 1719, and answered 0611, Go thy way 04198 for this time 03568; when 01161 I have 02192, 3335 a convenient season 02540, I will call for 03333 thee 04571.

²⁶ He hoped 01679 also 0260, 1161, 2532 that 03754 money 05536 should have been given 01325 him 0846 by 05259 Paul 03972, that 03704 he might loose 03089 him 0846: therefore 01352 he sent for 03343 him 0846 the oftener 04437, and 02532 communed with 03656 him 0846.

²⁷ But 01161 after 04137 two years 01333 Porcius 04201 Festus 05347 came 02983 in place of 01240 Felix 05344: and 05037 Felix 05344, willing 02309 to show 02698 the Jews 02453 a favour 05485, left 02641 Paul 03972 bound 01210.

25

¹ Now 03767 when Festus 05347 had come 01910 into the province 01885, after 03326 three 05140 days 02250 he went up 0305 from 0575 Caesarea 02542 to 01519 Jerusalem 02414.

² Then 01161 the high priest 0749 and 02532 the chief 04413 of the Jews 02453 informed 01718 him 0846 against 02596 Paul 03972, and 02532 besought 03870 him 0846,

³ And desired 0154 favour 05485 against 02596 him 0846, that 03704 he would send for 03343 him 0846 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419, laying 04160 wait 01747 in 02596 the way 03598 to kill 0337 him 0846.

⁴ But 03303, 3767 Festus 05347 answered 0611, that Paul 03972 should be kept 05083 at 01722 Caesarea 02542, and 01161 that he himself 01438 would 03195 depart 01607, 1722 shortly 05034 there.

⁵ Let them therefore 03767, said 05346 he, who among 01722 you 05213 are able 01415, go down with 04782 me, and accuse 02723 this 0846 man 0435, if 01536 there is 02076 any wickedness 01536 in 01722 him 05129.

⁶ And 01161 when he had tarried 01304 among 01722 them 0846 more 04119 than 02228 ten 01176 days 02250, he went down 02597 to 01519 Caesarea 02542; and the next day 01887 sitting 02523 on 01909 the judgment seat 0968 commanded 02753 Paul 03972 to be brought 071. more…: or, as some copies read, no more than eight or ten days

⁷ And 01161 when he 0846 had come 03854, the Jews 02453 who came down 02597 from 0575 Jerusalem 02414 stood around 04026, and 02532 laid 05342 many 04183 and grievous 0926 complaints 0157 against 02596 Paul 03972, which 03739 they could 02480 not 03756 prove 0584.

⁸ While he answered 0626 for himself 0846, Neither 03754, 3777 against 01519 the law 03551 of the Jews 02453, neither 03777 against 01519 the temple 02411, nor yet 03777 against 01519 Caesar 02541, have I committed 0264 any offence 05100.

⁹ But 01161 Festus 05347, willing 02309 to do 02698 the Jews 02453 a favour 05485, answered 0611 Paul 03972, and said 02036, Wilt thou 02309 go 0305 to 01519 Jerusalem 02414, and there 01563 be judged 02919 concerning 04012 these things 05130 before 01909 me 01700?

¹⁰ Then 01161 said 02036 Paul 03972, I stand 01510, 2476 at 01909 Caesar’s 02541 judgment seat 0968, where 03757 I 03165 ought 01163 to be judged 02919: to the Jews 02453 have I done 091 no 03762 wrong 091, as 05613, 2532 thou 04771 very well 02566 knowest 01921.

¹¹ For 01063 if 01487, 3303 I am an offender 091, or 02532 have committed 04238 any thing 05100 worthy 0514 of death 02288, I refuse 03868 not 03756 to die 0599: but 01161 if 01487 there is 02076 none 03762 of these things 03739 of which these 03778 accuse 02723 me 03450, no man 03762 may 01410 deliver 05483 me 03165 to them 0846. I appeal to 01941 Caesar 02541.

¹² Then 05119 Festus 05347, when he had conferred 04814 with 03326 the council 04824, answered 0611, Hast thou appealed to 01941 Caesar 02541? to 01909 Caesar 02541 thou shalt go 04198.

¹³ And 01161 after 01230 certain 05100 days 02250 king 0935 Agrippa 067 and 02532 Bernice 0959 came 02658 to 01519 Caesarea 02542 to greet 0782 Festus 05347.

¹⁴ And 01161 when 05613 they had been 01304 there 01563 many 04119 days 02250, Festus 05347 declared 0394 Paul’s 03972 cause 02596 to the king 0935, saying 03004, There is 02076 a certain 05100 man 0435 left 02641 in bonds 01198 by 05259 Felix 05344:

¹⁵ About 04012 whom 03739, when 01096 I 03450 was 01096 at 01519 Jerusalem 02414, the chief priests 0749 and 02532 the elders 04245 of the Jews 02453 informed 01718 me, desiring 0154 to have judgment 01349 against 02596 him 0846.

¹⁶ To 04314 whom 03739 I answered 0611, 3754, It is 02076 not 03756 the manner 01485 of the Romans 04514 to deliver 05483 any 05100 man 0444 to 01519 die 0684, before 04250, 2228 he who is accused 02723 hath 02192 the accusers 02725 face to face 02596, 5037, 4383, and hath 02983 opportunity 05117 to answer for himself 0627 concerning 04012 the charge laid against him 01462.

¹⁷ Therefore 03767, when they 0846 had come 04905 here 01759, without 04160 any 03367 delay 0311 on the next day 01836 I sat 02523 on 01909 the judgment seat 0968, and commanded 02753 the man 0435 to be brought forth 071.

¹⁸ Against 04012 whom 03739 when the accusers 02725 stood up 02476, they brought 02018 no 03762 accusation 0156 of such things as 03739 I 01473 supposed 05282:

¹⁹ But 01161 had 02192 certain 05100 questions 02213 against 04314 him 0846 of 04012 their own 02398 religion 01175, and 02532 of 04012 one 05100 Jesus 02424, who was dead 02348, whom 03739 Paul 03972 affirmed 05335 to be alive 02198.

²⁰ And 01161 because I 01473 was perplexed 0639 concerning 01519 such 05127 manner 04012 of questions 02214, I asked 03004 him whether 01487 he would 01014 go 04198 to 01519 Jerusalem 02419, and there 02546 be judged 02919 concerning 04012 these matters 05130. I doubted…: or, I was doubtful how to enquire hereof

²¹ But 01161 when Paul 03972 had appealed 01941 to be reserved 05083, 846 to 01519 the hearing 01233 of Augustus 04575, I commanded 02753 him 0846 to be kept 05083 till 02193, 3739 I might send 03992 him 0846 to 04314 Caesar 02541. hearing: or, judgment

²² Then 01161 Agrippa 067 said 05346 to 04314 Festus 05347, I would 01014 also 02532 hear 0191 the man 0444 myself 0846. To morrow 01161, 839, said 05346 he, thou shalt hear 0191 him 0846.

²³ And on the next day 01887, when 03767 Agrippa 067 had come 02064, and 02532 Bernice 0959, with 03326 great 04183 pomp 05325, and 02532 had entered 01525 into 01519 the place of hearing 0201, with 04862, 5037 the chief captains 05506, and 02532 principal 02596, 1851 men 0435 of 05607 the city 04172, at 02532 the command 02753 of Festus 05347 Paul 03972 was brought forth 071.

²⁴ And 02532 Festus 05347 said 05346, King 0935 Agrippa 067, and 02532 all 03956 men 0435 who 03588 are here present 04840 with us 02254, ye see 02334 this man 05126, about 04012 whom 03739 all 03956 the multitude 04128 of the Jews 02453 have dealt 01793 with me 03427, both 05037 at 01722 Jerusalem 02414, and 02532 also here 01759, crying 01916 that he ought 01163 not 03361 to live 02198 any longer 03371.

²⁵ But 01161 when I 01473 found 02638 that he 0846 had committed 04238 nothing 03367 worthy 0514 of death 02288, and 02532, 1161 that he himself 0846 hath appealed 05127 to 01941 Augustus 04575, I have determined 02919 to send 03992 him 0846.

²⁶ Of 04012 whom 03739 I have 02192 no 03756 certain 0804 thing 05100 to write 01125 to my lord 02962. Therefore 01352 I have brought 04254 him 0846 forth 04254 before 01909 you 05216, and 02532 especially 03122 before 01909 thee 04675, O king 0935 Agrippa 067, that 03704, after examination 0351 had 01096, I may have 02192 somewhat 05100 to write 01125.

²⁷ For 01063 it seemeth 01380 to me 03427 unreasonable 0249 to send 03992 a prisoner 01198, and 02532 not also 03361 to signify 04591 the charges 0156 laid against 02596 him 0846.

26

¹ Then 01161 Agrippa 067 said 05346 to 04314 Paul 03972, Thou 04671 art permitted 02010 to speak 03004 for 05228 thyself 04572. Then 05119 Paul 03972 stretched forth 01614 the hand 05495, and answered for himself 0626:

² I think 02233 myself 01683 happy 03107, king 0935 Agrippa 067, because I shall 03195 answer for myself 0626 this day 04594 before 01909 thee 04675 concerning 04012 all the things 03956 of which 03739 I am accused 01458 by 05259 the Jews 02453:

³ Especially 03122 because I know 01492 thee 04571 to be 05607 expert 01109, 5037 in all 03956 customs 01485 and 02532 questions 02213 which are among 02596 the Jews 02453: therefore 01352 I beseech 01189 thee 04675 to hear 0191 me 03450 patiently 03116.

⁴ My 03450 manner 03303, 3767 of life 0981 from 01537 my youth 03503, which 03588 was 01096 at 0575 the first 0746 among 01722 my 03450 own nation 01484 at 01722 Jerusalem 02414, know 02467 all 03956 the Jews 02453;

⁵ Who knew 04267 me 03165 from the beginning 0509, if 01437 they would 02309 testify 03140, that 03754 after 02596 the most strict 0196 sect 0139 of our 02251 religion 02356 I lived 02198 a Pharisee 05330.

⁶ And 02532 now 03568 I stand 02476 and am judged 02919 for 01909 the hope 01680 of the promise 01860 made 01096 by 05259 God 02316 to 04314 our fathers 03962:

⁷ To 01519 which 03739 promise our 02257 twelve tribes 01429, earnestly 01722, 1616 serving 03000 God day 02250 and 02532 night 03571, hope 01679 to come 02658. For 04012 which 03739 hope’s sake 01680, king 0935 Agrippa 067, I am accused 01458 by 05259 the Jews 02453. day and night: Gr. night and day

⁸ Why 05101 should it be thought a thing 02919 incredible 0571 with 03844 you 05213, that 01487 God 02316 should raise 01453 the dead 03498?

⁹ I 01473 verily 03303, 3767 thought 01380 with myself 01683, that I ought 01163 to do 04238 many things 04183 contrary 01727 to 04314 the name 03686 of Jesus 02424 of Nazareth 03480.

¹⁰ Which thing 03739 I 04160 also 02532 did 04160 in 01722 Jerusalem 02414: and 02532 many 04183 of the saints 040 did 02623 I 01473 shut up 02623 in prison 05438, having received 02983 authority 01849 from 03844 the chief priests 0749; and 05037 when they 0846 were put to death 0337, I gave 02702 my voice 05586 against them.

¹¹ And 02532 I punished 05097 them 0846 often 04178 in 02596 every 03956 synagogue 04864, and compelled 0315 them to blaspheme 0987; and 05037 being 01693 exceedingly 04057 mad against 01693 them 0846, I persecuted 01377 them even 02532 to 01519, 2193 foreign 01854 cities 04172.

¹² 02532 Upon 01722 which 03739 as I went 04198 to 01519 Damascus 01154 with 03326 authority 01849 and 02532 commission 02011 from 03844 the chief priests 0749,

¹³ At noon 02250, 3319, O king 0935, I saw 01492 in 02596 the way 03598 a light 05457 from heaven 03771, beyond 05228 the brightness 02987 of the sun 02246, shining around 04034 me 03165 and 02532 them who journeyed 04198 with 04862 me 01698.

¹⁴ And 01161 when we 02257 had 02667 all 03956 fallen 02667 to 01519 the earth 01093, I heard 0191 a voice 05456 speaking 02980 to 04314 me 03165, and 02532 saying 03004 in the Hebrew 01446 language 01258, Saul 04549, Saul 04549, why 05101 persecutest thou 01377 me 03165? it is hard 04642 for thee 04671 to kick 02979 against 04314 the goads 02759.

¹⁵ And 01161 I 01473 said 02036, Who 05101 art thou 01488, Lord 02962? And 01161 he said 02036, I 01473 am 01510 Jesus 02424 whom 03739 thou 04771 persecutest 01377.

¹⁶ But 0235 rise 0450, and 02532 stand 02476 upon 01909 thy 04675 feet 04228: for 01063 I have appeared 03700 to thee 04671 for 01519 this purpose 05124, to make 04400 thee 04571 a minister 05257 and 02532 a witness 03144 both 05037 of the things which 03739 thou hast seen 01492, and 05037 of the things in which 03739 I will appear 03700 to thee 04671;

¹⁷ Delivering 01807 thee 04571 from 01537 the people 02992, and 02532 from the Gentiles 01484, to 01519 whom 03739 now 03568 I send 0649 thee 04571,

¹⁸ To open 0455 their 0846 eyes 03788, and to turn 01994 them from 0575 darkness 04655 to 01519 light 05457, and 02532 from the power 01849 of Satan 04567 to 01909 God 02316, that they 0846 may receive 02983 forgiveness 0859 of sins 0266, and 02532 inheritance 02819 among 01722 them who are sanctified 037 by faith 04102 that is in 01519 me 01691.

¹⁹ Upon which 03606, O king 0935 Agrippa 067, I was 01096 not 03756 disobedient 0545 to the heavenly 03770 vision 03701:

²⁰ But 0235 showed 0518 first 04412 to them of 01722 Damascus 01154, and 02532 at Jerusalem 02414, and 05037 throughout 01519 all 03956 the region 05561 of Judaea 02449, and 02532 then to the Gentiles 01484, that they should repent 03340 and 02532 turn 01994 to 01909 God 02316, and do 04238 works 02041 fit 0514 for repentance 03341.

²¹ For 01752 these causes 05130 the Jews 02453 caught 04815 me 03165 in 01722 the temple 02411, and went about 03987 to kill 01315 me.

²² Having 05177 therefore 03767 obtained 05177 help 01947 from 03844 God 02316, I continue 02476 to 0891 this 05026 day 02250, witnessing 03140 both 05037 to small 03398 and 02532 great 03173, saying 03004 no other things 03762 than 01622 those which 03739, 5037 the prophets 04396 and 02532 Moses 03475 did say 02980 should 03195 come 01096:

²³ That 01487 Christ 05547 should suffer 03805, and that 01487 he should be the first 04413 that should rise 0386 from 01537 the dead 03498, and should 03195 show 02605 light 05457 to the people 02992, and 02532 to the Gentiles 01484.

²⁴ And 01161 as he 0846 was thus 05023 speaking for himself 0626, Festus 05347 said 05346 with a loud 03173 voice 05456, Paul 03972, thou art beside thyself 03105; much 04183 learning 01121 doth make 04062 thee 04571 mad 01519, 3130.

²⁵ But 01161 he said 05346, I am 03105 not 03756 mad 03105, most noble 02903 Festus 05347; but 0235 speak forth 0669 the words 04487 of truth 0225 and 02532 soberness 04997.

²⁶ For 01063 the king 0935 knoweth 01987 of 04012 these 05130 things, before 04314 whom 03739 also 02532 I speak 02980 freely 03955: for 01063 I am persuaded 03982 that 03756 none 05100, 3762 of these things 05130 are hidden 02990 from him 0846; for 01063 this thing 05124 was 02076 not 03756 done 04238 in 01722 a corner 01137.

²⁷ King 0935 Agrippa 067, believest thou 04100 the prophets 04396? I know 01492 that 03754 thou believest 04100.

²⁸ Then 01161 Agrippa 067 said 05346 to 04314 Paul 03972, Almost 01722, 3641 thou persuadest 03982 me 03165 to be 01096 a Christian 05546.

²⁹ And 01161 Paul 03972 said 02036, I would 0302, 2172 to God 02316, that not 03756 only 03440 thou 04571, but 0235 also 02532 all 03956 that hear 0191 me 03450 this day 04594, were 01096 both 02532 almost 01722, 3641, and 02532 altogether 01722, 4183 such 05108 as 03697, 2504 I am 01510, except 03924 these 05130 bonds 01199.

³⁰ And 02532 when he 0846 had 02036 thus 05023 spoken 02036, the king 0935 rose 0450, and 02532 the governor 02232, and 05037 Bernice 0959, and 02532 they that sat with 04775 them 0846:

³¹ And 02532 when they had gone aside 0402, they talked 02980 between 04314 themselves 0240, saying 03004, 3754, This 03778 man 0444 doeth 04238 nothing 03762 worthy 0514 of death 02288 or 02228 of bonds 01199.

³² Then 01161 said 05346 Agrippa 067 to Festus 05347, This 03778 man 0444 might 01410 have been set at liberty 0630, if 01508 he had 01941 not 01508 appealed to 01941 Caesar 02541.

27

¹ And 01161 when 05613 it was determined 02919 that we 02248 should sail 0636 into 01519 Italy 02482, they delivered 03860, 5037 Paul 03972 and 02532 certain 05100 other 02087 prisoners 01202 to one named 03686 Julius 02457, a centurion 01543 of Augustus 04575’ band 04686.

² And 01161 entering 01910 into a ship 04143 of Adramyttium 098, we launched 0321, meaning 03195 to sail 04126 by 02596 the coasts 05117 of Asia 0773; one Aristarchus 0708, a Macedonian 03110 of Thessalonica 02331, being 05607 with 04862 us 02254.

³ And 05037 the next 02087 day we touched 02609 at 01519 Sidon 04605. And 05037 Julius 02457 courteously 05364 treated 05530 Paul 03972, and gave him liberty 02010 to go 04198 to 04314 his friends 05384 to refresh himself 05177, 1958.

⁴ And 02547 when we had launched 0321 from there 02547, we sailed under 05284 Cyprus 02954, because 01223 the winds 0417 were 01511 contrary 01727.

⁵ And 05037 when we had sailed over 01277 the sea 03989 of 02596 Cilicia 02791 and 02532 Pamphylia 03828, we came 02718 to 01519 Myra 03460, a city of Lycia 03073.

⁶ And there 02546 the centurion 01543 found 02147 a ship 04143 of Alexandria 0222 sailing 04126 into 01519 Italy 02482; and he put 01688 us 02248 on 01519 board 0846.

⁷ And 01161 when we had sailed slowly 01020, 1722 many 02425 days 02250, and 02532 scarce 03433 had come 01096 off 02596 Cnidus 02834, the wind 0417 did 04330 not 03361 permit 04330 us 02248, we sailed under 05284 Crete 02914, off 02596 Salmone 04534; Crete: or, Candy

⁸ And 05037, scarcely 03433 passing 03881 it 0846, came 02064 to 01519 a 05100 place 05117 which is called 02564 The fair 02570 havens 02568, 3040; near 01451 which 03739 was 02258 the city 04172 of Lasea 02996.

⁹ Now 01161 when much 02425 time 05550 was spent 01230, and 02532 when sailing 04144 was 05607 now 02235 dangerous 02000, because 01223 the fast 03521 was 03928 now 02532 already 02235 past 03928, Paul 03972 admonished 03867 them, the fast: the fast was on the tenth day of the seventh month

¹⁰ And said 03004 to them 0846, Sirs 0435, I perceive 02334 that 03754 this voyage 04144 will be 03195, 1510 with 03326 harm 05196 and 02532 much 04183 damage 02209, not 03756 only 03440 of the cargo 05414 and 02532 ship 04143, but 0235 also 02532 of our 02257 lives 05590. hurt: or, injury

¹¹ Nevertheless 01161 the centurion 01543 believed 03982 the master 02942 and 02532 the owner of the ship 03490, more 03123 than 02228 the things which were spoken 03004 by 05259 Paul 03972.

¹² And 01161 because 05225 the haven 03040 was 05225 not suitable 0428 to 04314 winter in 03915, the greater part 04119 advised 01012, 5087 to depart 0321 from there also 02547, if 01513 by any means 04458 they might 01410 attain 02658 to 01519 Phenice 05405, and there to winter 03914; which is an haven 03040 of Crete 02914, and lieth 0991 toward 02596 the south west 03047 and 02532, 2596 north west 05566.

¹³ And 01161 when the south wind 03558 blew softly 05285, supposing 01380 that they had obtained 02902 their purpose 04286, loosing 0142 from there, they sailed 03881 close by 0788 Crete 02914.

¹⁴ But 01161 not 03756 long 04183 after 03326 there arose 0906 against 02596 it 0846 a tempestuous 05189 wind 0417, called 02564 Euroclydon 02148. arose: or, beat

¹⁵ And 01161 when the ship 04143 was caught 04884, and 02532 could 01410 not 03361 bear up into 0503 the wind 0417, we let her drive 01929, 5342.

¹⁶ And 01161 running under 05295 a certain 05100 isle 03519 which is called 02564 Clauda 02802, we had 02480 much 03433 work 02480 to secure 04031, 1096 the boat 04627:

¹⁷ Which 03739 when they had taken it up 0142, they used 05530 cables 0996, undergirding 05269 the ship 04143; and 05037, fearing 05399 lest 03361 they should fall 01601 into 01519 the quicksands 04950, struck 05465 sail 04632, and so 03779 were driven 05342.

¹⁸ And 01161 we 02257 being exceedingly 04971 tossed with a tempest 05492, the next 01836 day they lightened the ship 01546, 4160;

¹⁹ And 02532 the third 05154 day we cast out 04496 with our own hands 0849 the tackling 04631 of the ship 04143.

²⁰ And 01161 when neither 03383 sun 02246 nor 03383 stars 0798 in 01909 many 04119 days 02250 appeared 02014, and 05037 no 03756 small 03641 tempest 05494 lay on 01945 us, all 03956 hope 01680 that we 02248 should be saved 04982 was 04014 then 03063 taken away 04014.

²¹ But 01161 after 05225 being long 04183 without food 0776, 5119 Paul 03972 stood forth 02476 in 01722 the midst 03319 of them 0846, and said 02036, Sirs 05599, 435, ye should 01163, 3303 have hearkened 03980 to me 03427, and not 03361 have loosed 0321 from 0575 Crete 02914, and 05037 to have gained 02770 this 05026 harm 05196 and 02532 loss 02209.

²² And 02532 now 03569 I exhort 03867 you 05209 to be of good cheer 02114: for 01063 there shall be 02071 no 03762 loss 0580 of life 05590 among 01537 you 05216, but 04133 of the ship 04143.

²³ For 01063 there stood by 03936 me 03427 this 05026 night 03571 the angel 032 of God 02316, whose 03739 I am 01510, and 02532 whom 03739 I serve 03000,

²⁴ Saying 03004, Fear 05399 not 03361, Paul 03972; thou 04571 must 01163 be brought before 03936 Caesar 02541: and 02532, lo 02400, God 02316 hath given 05483 thee 04671 all 03956 them that sail 04126 with 03326 thee 04675.

²⁵ Therefore 01352, sirs 0435, be of good cheer 02114: for 01063 I believe 04100 God 02316, that 03754 it 03779 shall be 02071 even 02596, 3739 as 05158 it was told 02980 to me 03427.

²⁶ But 01161 we 02248 must 01163 be cast 01601 upon 01519 a certain 05100 isle 03520.

²⁷ But 01161 when 05613 the fourteenth 05065 night 03571 was come 01096, as we 02257 were driven up and down 01308 in 01722 Adria 099, about 02596 midnight 03319, 3571 the shipmen 03492 thought 05282 that they 0846 drew near 04317 to some 05100 country 05561;

²⁸ And 02532 sounded 01001, and found 02147 it twenty 01501 fathoms 03712: and 01161 when they had gone 01339 a little further 01024, they sounded 01001 again 03825, and 02532 found 02147 it fifteen 01178 fathoms 03712.

²⁹ Then 05037 fearing 05399 lest 03381, 4458 we should fall 01601 upon 01519 rocks 05117, 5138, they cast 04496 four 05064 anchors 045 out of 01537 the stern 04403, and wished 02172, 1096 for the day 02250.

³⁰ And 01161 as the shipmen 03492 were about 02212 to flee 05343 out of 01537 the ship 04143, when 02532 they had let down 05465 the boat 04627 into 01519 the sea 02281, under pretence 04392 as though 05613 they would 03195 cast 01614 anchors 045 out of 01537 the foreship 04408,

³¹ Paul 03972 said 02036 to the centurion 01543 and 02532 to the soldiers 04757, Except 03362 these 03778 abide 03306 in 01722 the ship 04143, ye 05210 cannot 03756, 1410 be saved 04982.

³² Then 05119 the soldiers 04757 cut off 0609 the ropes 04979 of the boat 04627, and 02532 let 01439 her 0846 fall off 01601.

³³ And 01161 while 0891, 3739 the day 02250 was coming 01096 on 03195, Paul 03972 besought 03870 them all 0537 to take 03335 food 05160, saying 03004, This day 04594 is the fourteenth 05065 day 02250 that ye have tarried 04328 and continued 01300 fasting 0777, having taken 04355 nothing 03367.

³⁴ Therefore 01352 I beseech 03870 you 05209 to take 04355 some food 05160: for 01063 this 05124 is 05225 for 04314 your 05212 health 04991: for 01063 there shall 04098 not 03762 an hair 02359 fall 04098 from 01537 the head 02776 of any 03762 of you 05216.

³⁵ And 01161 when he had thus 05023 spoken 02036, 2532, he took 02983 bread 0740, and gave thanks 02168 to God 02316 in presence 01799 of them all 03956: and 02532 when he had broken 02806 it, he began 0756 to eat 02068.

³⁶ Then 01161 they 0846 were 01096 all 03956 of good cheer 02115, and they 04355 also 02532 took 04355 food 05160.

³⁷ And 01161 we were 02258 in all 03956 in 01722 the ship 04143 two hundred 01250 and seventy and six 01440, 1803 souls 05590.

³⁸ And 01161 when they had eaten 05160 enough 02880, they lightened 02893 the ship 04143, and cast 01544 the wheat 04621 into 01519 the sea 02281.

³⁹ And 01161 when 03753 it was 01096 day 02250, they knew 01921 not 03756 the land 01093: but 01161 they discovered 02657 a certain 05100 creek 02859 with 02192 a shore 0123, into 01519 which 03739 they purposed 01011, if 01487 it were possible 01410, to thrust in 01856 the ship 04143.

⁴⁰ And 02532 when they had taken up 04014 the anchors 045, they committed 01439 themselves to 01519 the sea 02281, and 0260 loosed 0447 the rudder 04079 bands 02202, and 02532 hoisted 01869 the mainsail 0736 to the wind 04154, and made 02722 toward 01519 the shore 0123. taken…: or, cut the anchors, they left them in the sea

⁴¹ And 01161 falling 04045 into 01519 a place 05117 where two seas met 01337, they ran 02027 the ship 03491 aground 02027; and 02532 the bow 04408, 3303 stuck fast 02043, and remained 03306 unmoveable 0761, but 01161 the stern 04403 was broken 03089 with 05259 the violence 0970 of the waves 02949.

⁴² And 01161 the soldiers 04757’ counsel 01012 was 01096 to 02443 kill 0615 the prisoners 01202, lest 03361 any of them 05100 should swim out 01579, and escape 01309.

⁴³ But 01161 the centurion 01543, willing 01014 to save 01295 Paul 03972, kept 02967 them 0846 from their purpose 01013; and 05037 commanded 02753 that they who could 01410 swim 02860 should cast 0641 themselves first 04413 into the sea, and get 01826 to 01909 land 01093:

⁴⁴ And 02532 the rest 03062, some 03739, 3303 on 01909 boards 04548, and 01161 some 03739 on 01909 broken pieces of 0575 the ship 04143, 5100. And 02532 so 03779 it came to pass 01096, that they all 03956 escaped safe 01295 to 01909 land 01093.

28

¹ And 02532 when they had escaped 01295, then 05119 they knew 01921 that 03754 the isle 03520 was called 02564 Melita 03194.

² And 01161 the barbarous people 0915 showed 03930 us 02254 no 03756 little 05177 kindness 05363: for 01063 they kindled 0381 a fire 04443, and received 04355 us 02248 every one 03956, because 01223 of the present 02186 rain 05205, and 02532 because 01223 of the cold 05592.

³ And 01161 when Paul 03972 had gathered 04962 a bundle 04128 of sticks 05434, and 02532 laid 02007 them on 01909 the fire 04443, there came 01831 a viper 02191 out of 01537 the heat 02329, and fastened on 02510 his 0846 hand 05495.

⁴ And 01161 when 05613 the barbarians 0915 saw 01492 the venomous creature 02342 hanging 02910 from 01537 his 0846 hand 05495, they said 03004 among 04314 themselves 0240, No doubt 03843 this 03778 man 0444 is 02076 a murderer 05406, whom 03739, though he hath escaped 01295, 1537 the sea 02281, yet Vengeance 01349 alloweth 01439 not 03756 to live 02198.

⁵ And 03303, 3767 he shook off 0660 the creature 02342 into 01519 the fire 04442, and felt 03958 no 03762 harm 02556.

⁶ Yet 01161 they looked 04328 when he 0846 should 03195 have swollen 04092, or 02228 fallen down 02667 dead 03498 suddenly 0869: but 01161 after they 0846 had looked 04328 a great while 01909, 4183, and 02532 saw 02334 no 03367 harm 0824 come 01096 to 01519 him 0846, they changed their minds 03328, and said 03004 that he 0846 was 01511 a god 02316.

⁷ 01161 In 01722, 4012 the same 01565 quarters 05117 were 05225 possessions 05564 of the chief man 04413 of the isle 03520, whose name was 03686 Publius 04196; who 03739 received 0324 us 02248, and lodged us 03579 three 05140 days 02250 courteously 05390.

⁸ And 01161 it came to pass 01096, that the father 03962 of Publius 04196 lay 02621 sick with 04912 a fever 04446 and 02532 a bloody flux 01420: to 04314 whom 03739 Paul 03972 entered in 01525, and 02532 prayed 04336, and laid 02007 his hands 05495 on 02007 him 0846, and healed 02390 him 0846.

⁹ So 03767 when 01096 this 05127 was done 01096, others 03062 also 02532, who 03588 had 02192 diseases 0769 in 01722 the isle 03520, came 04334, and 02532 were healed 02323:

¹⁰ Who 03739 also 02532 honoured 05092 us 02248 with many 04183 honours 05091; and 02532 when we departed 0321, they supplied 02007 us with such things as 04314 were necessary 05532.

¹¹ And 01161 after 03326 three 05140 months 03376 we departed 0321 in 01722 a ship 04143 of Alexandria 0222, which had wintered 03914 in 01722 the isle 03520, whose sign 03902 was Castor and Pollux 01359.

¹² And 02532 landing 02609 at 01519 Syracuse 04946, we tarried 01961 there three 05140 days 02250.

¹³ And from there 03606 we sailed around 04022, and came 02658 to 01519 Rhegium 04484: and 02532 after 03326 one 03391 day 02250 the south wind 03558 blew 01920, and we came 02064 the next day 01206 to 01519 Puteoli 04223:

¹⁴ Where 03757 we found 02147 brethren 080, and were desired 03870 to tarry 01961 with 01909 them 0846 seven 02033 days 02250: and 02532 so 03779 we went 02064 toward 01519 Rome 04516.

¹⁵ And from there 02547, when the brethren 080 heard 0191 of 04012 us 02257, they came 01831 to meet 0529, 1519 us 02254 as far as 0891 Appii 0675 forum 05410, and 02532 The three 05140 taverns 04999: whom 03739 when Paul 03972 saw 01492, he thanked 02168 God 02316, and took 02983 courage 02294.

¹⁶ And 01161 when 03753 we came 02064 to 01519 Rome 04516, the centurion 01543 delivered 03860 the prisoners 01198 to the captain of the guard 04759: but 01161 Paul 03972 was permitted 02010 to dwell 03306 by 02596 himself 01438 with 04862 a soldier 04757 that kept 05442 him 0846.

¹⁷ And 01161 it came to pass 01096, that after 03326 three 05140 days 02250 Paul 03972 called together 04779 the chief 04413, 5607 of the Jews 02453: and 01161 when they 0846 were assembled 04905, he said 03004 to 04314 them 0846, Men 0435, brethren 080, though I 01473 have committed 04160 nothing 03762 against 01727 the people 02992, or 02228 customs 01485 of our fathers 03971, yet I was delivered 03860 prisoner 01198 from 01537 Jerusalem 02414 into 01519 the hands 05495 of the Romans 04514.

¹⁸ Who 03748, when they had examined 0350 me 03165, would 01014 have let me go 0630, because 01223 there was 05225 no 03367 cause 0156 of death 02288 in 01722 me 01698.

¹⁹ But 01161 when the Jews 02453 spoke against 0483 it, I was constrained 0315 to appeal 01941 to Caesar 02541; not 03756 that 05613 I had 02192 any thing 05100 to accuse 02723 my 03450 nation 01484 of 02723.

²⁰ For 01223 this 05026 cause 0156 therefore 03767 have I called 03870 for you 05209, to see 01492 you, and 02532 to speak with 04354 you: because that 01752 for 01063 the hope 01680 of Israel 02474 I am bound with 04029 this 05026 chain 0254.

²¹ And 01161 they said 02036 to 04314 him 0846, We 02249 have neither 03777 received 01209 letters 01121 from 0575 Judaea 02449 concerning 04012 thee 04675, neither 03777 have any 05100 of the brethren 080 that came 03854 shown 0518 or 02228 spoken 02980 any 05100 harm 04190 of 04012 thee 04675.

²² But 01161 we desire 0515 to hear 0191 from 03844 thee 04675 what 03739 thou thinkest 05426: for 01063 as concerning 04012, 3303 this 05026 sect 0139, we 02254 know 02076, 1110 that 03754 every where 03837 it is spoken against 0483.

²³ And 01161 when they had appointed 05021 him 0846 a day 02250, there came 02240 many 04119 to 04314 him 0846 into 01519 his lodging 03578; to whom 03739 he expounded 01620 and testified 01263 the kingdom 0932 of God 05037, 2316, persuading 03982 them 0846 concerning 04012 Jesus 02424, both 05037 out of 0575 the law 03551 of Moses 03475, and 02532 out of the prophets 04396, from 0575 morning 04404 till 02193 evening 02073.

²⁴ And 02532 some 03303 believed 03982 the things which were spoken 03004, and 01161 some believed not 0569.

²⁵ And 01161 when they agreed not 0800, 5607 among 04314 themselves 0240, they departed 0630, after Paul 03972 had spoken 02036 one 01520 word 03754, 4487, Well 02573 spoke 02980 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151 by 01223 Isaiah 02268 the prophet 04396 to 04314 our 02257 fathers 03962,

²⁶ Saying 03004, Go 04198 to 04314 this 05126 people 02992, and 02532 say 02036, Hearing 0189 ye shall hear 0191, and 02532 shall 04920 not 03364 understand 04920; and 02532 seeing 0991 ye shall see 0991, and 02532 not 03364 perceive 01492:

²⁷ For 01063 the heart 02588 of this 05127 people 02992 has become dull 03975, and 02532 their ears 03775 are hard 0917 of hearing 0191, and 02532 their 0846 eyes 03788 have they closed 02576; lest 03379 they should see 01492 with their eyes 03788, and 02532 hear 0191 with their ears 03775, and 02532 understand 04920 with their heart 02588, and 02532 should be converted 01994, and 02532 I should heal 02390 them 0846.

²⁸ Be it 02077 known 01110 therefore 03767 to you 05213, that 03754 the salvation 04992 of God 02316 is sent 0649 to the Gentiles 01484, and 02532 they will hear 0191 it 0846.

²⁹ And 02532 when he 0846 had said 02036 these words 05023, the Jews 02453 departed 0565, and had 02192 great 04183 dispute 04803 among 01722 themselves 01438.

³⁰ And 01161 Paul 03972 dwelt 03306 two 01333 whole 03650 years 01333 in 01722 his own 02398 hired house 03410, and 02532 received 0588 all 03956 that came in 01531 to 04314 him 0846,

³¹ Preaching 02784 the kingdom 0932 of God 02316, and 02532 teaching 01321 those things which concern 04012 the Lord 02962 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547, with 03326 all 03956 confidence 03954, no man forbidding him 0209.
