So they, when they had been dispatched, went down to Antioch, and after gathering the whole multitude together, they handed them the letter,

and when they had read it they rejoiced at the comfort it brought.

When they got as far as Mysia, they attempted to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit it;

So when he had seen the vision, we sought at once to go forth into Macedonia, because we concluded that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

When she was baptized, and her household, she urged us, saying, "If in your judgment I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house." And she compelled us to come.

But when her owners saw that their hopes of gain were gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them before the magistrates, into the market-place.

The lictors reported these words to the praetors, who were frightened when they heard that they were Romans.

Now when they had gone through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica. Here there was a Jewish synagogue,

And when they had failed to find Paul and Silas, they began to drag Jason and some of the brethren before the politarchs, shouting. "These fellows who have upset the habitable earth are come hither also.

Both the crowd and the politarchs were disturbed when they heard this,

but when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

Now the brothers sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they got there they betook themselves to the Jewish synagogue.

While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, when he noticed that the city was full of idols.

And when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was engrossed in his message, earnestly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.

But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose against Paul, and brought him before the tribunal.

Paul was about to open his mouth, when Gallio said to the Jews. "If it had been some misdemeanor or wicked villainy, it would have been within reason for me to listen to you Jews;

When they came to Ephesus he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

When they begged him to stay longer, he would not consent,

He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him they took him home and explained to him more accurately the way of God.

When he wished to cross over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples in Corinth to receive him. On his arrival he mightily helped those who through grace had believed,

"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" he asked them. "No" said they, "we did not even hear that there is a Holy Spirit."

When they heard this they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;

But when some grew hardened and disobedient, and spoke evil of the Way before the crowd, he left them, withdrew the disciples, and continued to hold discussions daily in the lecture-hall of Tyrannus.

When Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not let him,

but when they saw that he was a Jew they all, with one voice, for about two hours, shouted,

And when he had passed through those districts and encouraged the disciples in many addresses, he came into Greece where he spent three months.

And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

and when they arrived, he said to them. "You yourselves know quite well, how I lived among you, from the first day that I set foot in Asia,

When he had so said, Paul kneeled down, and prayed with them.

When at least we had torn ourselves away, and had set sail, we ran a straight course to Cos, and next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

And when we had found a ship bound for Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.

When, however, our time was up, we left and started on our journey; and all of them, with wives and children, were escorting us on our way until we were out of the city; then, kneeling down on the beach, we prayed,

And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we reached Ptolemais, and greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.

And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The will of the Lord be done."

And they, when they heard it, glorified God, and said to him. "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews, of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law.

But when the seven days were almost over, the Asiatic Jews caught sight of him in the temple, and began to stir up all the crowd, and laid hands on him, shouting.

At once he took soldiers and centurions, and rushed down upon them. When they saw the tribune and the troops, they left off beating Paul.

Some among the crowd kept shouting one thing, some another; and when the tribune could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered Paul into the barracks.

When was going up the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the mob,

So when he had given leave, Paul stood on the stairs, beckoning with his hands to the people. There came a great hush, and he spoke to them as follows, in Hebrew.

When they heard him speaking in Hebrew they became the more quiet.

"But when, on my journey, I was nearing Damascus, about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone round about me.

"'and when the blood of your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by and consenting, and holding the garments of his murders.'

When they continued to shout, throwing their clothes into the air, and flinging dust around,

But when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing near, "If a man is a Roman citizen, and uncondemned, is it lawful for you to scourge him?"

When the centurion heard that, he went to the tribune and said to him. "What are you intending to do? This man is a Roman citizen."

Then those who were about to scourge him, immediately left him. And the tribune too, was afraid, when he learned that Paul was a Roman citizen, for he had had him bound.

When he said this, there arose a quarrel between the Pharisees and Sadducees; the meeting was divided.

But when the dissension became violent, the tribune, fearing that they would tear Paul in pieces, ordered the troops to march down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

When day dawned the Jews made a conspiracy, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

"This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon them with the troops, and rescued him, as I had learned that he was a Roman citizen.

"Now when I received information that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him at once to you, charging his accusers also to speak against him before you."

After reading the letter, he asked to what province he belonged, and when he understood that he was of Cilicia, he said,

"I will hear your case when your accusers also are come." And he ordered him to be kept in custody in Herod's palace.

"Or let these men themselves say what fault they found, when I appeared before the Sanhedrin!

"Unless it was for this one sentence which I uttered when I stood and cried, 'It is for the resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial today before you.'"

At this point Felix, who had a pretty accurate knowledge of the Way, adjourned the case, saying to the Jews, "When Lysias the tribune comes down, I will go carefully into the matter."

And as he reasoned about morality, self-control, and the future judgment, Felix was terrified, and said, "For the present go on your way, and when I find a convenient season, I will send for you."

When he came in, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him and brought a number of serious charges against him, which they could not prove.

"The chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me about him, when I was at Jerusalem, demanding a sentence against him.

"So when a number of them came together here, I made no delay, but the next day took my seat in the tribunal, and commanded the man to be brought.

"But when his accusers stood up, they did not begin charging him with any of the crimes that I was expecting,

But when Paul appealed to have his case reviewed for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered him to be detained until I could send him up to Caesar."

"And this also I did in Jerusalem. Armed with authority from the chief priests, I shut up many of the saints in prison, and when they were condemned to death I gave my vote against them.

"when at noon, as I journeyed, O King, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and around those who journeyed with me.

When they had withdrawn they continued talking to one another. "This man is doing nothing," they said, "for which he deserves death or imprisonment."

When it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they proceeded to hand over Paul and a few other prisoners to the custody of Julius, a centurion of the Imperial Regiment.

And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.

when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and let her drive.

Then when for many days neither sun nor stars were seen, and a great tempest still beat upon us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away from us.

When for a long time they had been without food, Paul stood among them and said: "Men, you ought to have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and so have spared yourselves this injury and loss.

It was now the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Adriatic Sea when, about midnight, the sailors began to suspect that they were drawing near to some land.

And when the sailors were trying to flee from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea under pretext of laying anchors from the bow,

When he had so said and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God before them all, and broke it and began to eat.

When it was day they tried in vain to recognize the land, but they spied an inlet with a sandy beach, and they began conferring to see whether they could drive the ship into it.

And when we were escaped, we ascertained that the island was called Malta.

Now when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and thrown them on the fire, a viper crawled out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

When the natives saw the reptile hanging on his hand, they began saying to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet justice does not allow him to live."

These loaded us with many honors and, when at last we set sail, they put on board such things as we needed.

From there the brothers, when they heard about us, came out to meet us as far as the Appian Forum and the Three Taverns. When Paul saw them he thanked God and took courage.

When we finally entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself with the soldier to guard him.

Now three days later he called the leading Jews together, and when they were come together he said to them. "Brothers, I was delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of your fathers.

"Then when they had examined me they wanted to set me at liberty because there was no cause of death in me.

"But when the Jews objected I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything to accuse my nation of.

When he finished speaking, the Jews departed, and reasoned among themselves.

In your hardness and impenitence of heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath on the Day of Wrath, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.

For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

By no means! Be sure that God is ever true, though all mankind prove false. As it is written, That thou mayest be found just in thine argument, And gain thy cause when thou contendest.

How then was it imputed to him? When he was circumcised? or uncircumcised? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;

Though he was about a hundred years old, his faith did not fail him when he regarded his own body, now as good as dead. and remembered Sarah's barrenness.

For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved in his life.

For prior to the Law, sin actually existed in the world, but sin was not set down to man's account when there was no law.

Do you not know that when you surrender yourselves as slaves to any one to obey him, you are his slaves whom you obey; whether it be sin, whose end is death, or obedience, whose end is righteousness?

For when you were the slaves of sin, you were under no subjection to righteousness.

But when sin had gained a vantage-ground, by means of the commandment, it stirred up within me all manner of lust; for where there is no law, sin is dead.

Once I lived apart from the Law, myself; but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;

For sin, when it had gained a vantage-ground through the commandment, beguiled me, and through it slew me.

I find, then, this law, that when I intend to do good, evil is ever present with me.
