So the Churches went on gaining a stronger faith and growing in numbers from day to day.

And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

They went as far as Mysia and tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them,

so passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.

Having sailed therefore away from Troas, we went in a straight course to Samothracia, and on the morrow to Neapolis,

From there we went to Philippi, a Roman garrison town, and the principal place in that part of Macedonia. In this town we stayed for some days.

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

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

And when her masters saw that the hope of their gain went out, having seized Paul and Silas, they dragged them to the market before the rulers.

At midnight Paul and Silas went to prayers, and sang praises to God, which the other prisoners heard:

And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,

and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.

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

Then, passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they went to Thessalonica. Here there was a synagogue of the Jews.

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

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

But when the Jewish leaders in Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul also in Berea, they went there to upset and incite the crowds.

And those who conducted Paul brought [him] as far as Athens, and [after] receiving an order for Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as soon as possible, they went away.

For as I went around and observed closely your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: 'To an unknown god.' Therefore what you worship without knowing it, this I proclaim to you.

Thus Paul went out from among them.

After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife, Priscilla, because [the Roman Emperor] Claudius had issued an edict that all the Jews were to leave Rome. Paul went to see them,

and, because they followed the same trade of tentmaking, he stayed with them and went to work [for them].

And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

So for a year and a half he settled down among them and went on teaching God's message.

And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath.

They put in at Ephesus, and there Paul left his companions behind. As for himself, he went to the synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus.

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

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

It happened that while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul went through the upper [inland] districts and came down to Ephesus, and found some disciples.

And he went into the synagogue,

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

But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient [to the word of God], discrediting and speaking evil of the Way (Jesus, Christianity) before the congregation, Paul left them, taking the disciples with him, and went on holding daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus [instead of in the synagogue].

And this went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the message about the Lord.

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

And certain of the Jewish exorcists also, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wicked spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.

And the man in whom the evil spirit was, jumping on them, was stronger than the two of them, and overcame them, so that they went running from that house, wounded and without their clothing.

So the Lord's message went on growing wonderfully in influence and power.

And having sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, he himself went on living in Asia for a time.

About that time there occurred no small disturbance concerning the Way (Jesus, Christianity).

But when they realized that he was a Jew, a single outcry went up from the crowd as they shouted for about two hours, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

But after the tumult had ceased, Paul having called the disciples to him and embraced them, went away to go to Macedonia.

He went through those regions and encouraged the people with everything he had to say. Then he went to Greece

And Sopater of Beroea, the son of Pyrrhus, and Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia, went with him as far as Asia.

These men went on ahead and were waiting for us (including Luke) at Troas.

And we went away from Philippi by ship after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days; and we were there for seven days.

And on the first day of the week, when we had come together for the holy meal, Paul gave them a talk, for it was his purpose to go away on the day after; and he went on talking till after the middle of the night.

And a certain young man named Eutychus, who was seated in the window, went into a deep sleep; and while Paul went on talking, being overcome by sleep, he had a fall from the third floor, and was taken up dead.

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

And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away.

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

And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board [and] went to Mitylene.

Sailing thence on the following day we arrived off Chios; next day we crossed over to Samos, and [after stopping at Trogyllium] we went on next day to Miletus.

And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more.

And having said these words, he went down on his knees in prayer with them all.

specially pained by the word which he had said, that they would no more see his face. And they went down with him to the ship.

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

And when we had come in view of Cyprus, going past it on our left, we went on to Syria, and came to land at Tyre: for there the goods which were in the ship had to be taken out.

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

and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.

Having completed our voyage from Tyre we went to Ptolemais, and having saluted the brothers continued with them one day.

On the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and we went to the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven [deacons], and stayed with him.

And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

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

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

And, saluting them, he went on to narrate, one by one, each of the things which God had wrought among the nations through his ministry.

Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.

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

And straight away he took some armed men and went quickly down to them: and the Jews, seeing them, gave no more blows to Paul.

Then he went up to Paul, arrested him, ordered him to be doubly chained, and proceeded to inquire who he was, and what he had been doing.

When they heard that he was speaking to them in Hebrew, they were still more quiet; and Paul went on:

As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.

But as I went and drew nigh to Damascus, at noon-day, suddenly there shone a great light from heaven around me.

And when I went down on the earth, a voice came to my ears saying to me, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?

And as I could not see for the glory of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and went into Damascus.

“After I came back to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple complex, I went into a visionary state

And I said, Lord, they themselves have knowledge that I went through the Synagogues putting in prison and whipping all those who had faith in you:

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

So the tribune went and asked Paul, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?" "Yes," he said.

Then those who were about to put him to the test went away: and the chief captain was in fear, seeing that he was a Roman, and that he had put chains on him.

and they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to taste nothing until we kill Paul.

And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.

The Captain went with the lad to the Commanding Officer, and said: "The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this lad to you, as he has something to tell you."

Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?

He wrote a letter that went like this:

This man, having been apprehended by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I went down with the troop, and rescued; having learned that he was, a Roman.

But on the day after, they sent the horsemen on with him, and went back to their place:

AND after five days the chief priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator, Tertullus, went down and gave information to the procurator against Paul.

Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.

Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.

Now when some days had gone by, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea and went to see Festus.

about whom, when I went to Jerusalem, the High Priests and the Elders of the Jews made representations to me, begging that sentence might be pronounced against him.

So the next day Agrippa and [his sister] Bernice came with great pageantry, and they went into the auditorium accompanied by the military commanders and the prominent men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

And, Agrippa, to Paul, said - It is permitted thee, on thine own behalf, to be speaking. Then Paul, stretching forth his hand, went on to make his defence.

And I gave them punishment frequently, in all the Synagogues, forcing them to say things against God; and burning with passion against them, I went after them even into far-away towns.

Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

at midday, O king, I saw on the road a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, which shone around me and those who went with me.

But I went about, first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and through all the country of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, preaching a change of heart, so that they, being turned to God, might give, in their works, the fruits of a changed heart.
