But Solomon built him an house.

But the Most High does not live in buildings built by human hands. As the prophet says:

You received the law by decrees given by angels, but you did not obey it."

But when they heard these things, their hearts were filled with rage, and they gnashed their teeth at him.

But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

But they raised a great shout and held their ears, and all together rushed upon him,

BUT Saul was delighted with his execution. Now on that very day commenced a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all, besides the apostles, were dispersed through the regions of Judea and Samaria.

But devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

But Saul continued to harass the church, and by going from house to house and dragging off men and women he continued to put them into prison.

But those who had gone in flight went everywhere preaching the word.

But Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.

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

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

But Simon himself also believed: and being baptized, was constantly with Philip, both seeing the miracles and the great dynamites performed, was astonished.

But when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

for as yet He had not come upon any of them, but they had been baptized merely in the name of the Lord Jesus.

But Simon, seeing that, through means of the laying on of the hands of the Apostles, the Spirit was being given, offered unto them money,

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

But Simon replied, "You pray to the Lord for me so that nothing of what you have said may happen to me."

But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert.

but was now upon his return, and sat in his chariot, reading the prophet Esaias.

Then Philip running up to him, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah; and he said, Well! but dost thou understand what thou art reading?

But he said, "How, in fact, were I able, unless some one should guide me?" And he besought Philip, having come up, to sit with him.

in his humiliation his judgment was taken away: but his generation who can describe? for his life was taken away from the earth."

But as they went on the road, they came to some water: and the eunuch said, Here is water, what forbids my being baptised?

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

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

BUT Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the chief priest

But, as he was journeying, it came to pass that he was drawing near unto Damascus, and, suddenly, there flashed around him a light out of heaven;

But get up and go into the city, and there it will be told you what you ought to do."

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

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

But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard many people tell of this man, especially the great sufferings he has brought on your people in Jerusalem.

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

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

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

But when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together how to kill him:

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

but his disciples took him one night and let him down through the city wall, by lowering him in a hamper-basket.

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

But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

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

but the brothers knowing it led him away to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.

But there was at Joppa a woman, a disciple, named Tabitha, (which by interpretation is called Dorcas:) this woman was full of good works and of alms which she did.

But it came to pass that in those days she sickened and died: having then washed her, they laid her out in an upper room.

But Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter was there sent two men to him requesting, Do not delay to come to us.

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

But, a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italian, -

But he, having fixed his eyes upon him, and become full of fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have gone up for a memorial before God.

But when the angel departed who spake to Cornelius, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, persons who constantly were in attendance upon him;

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

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

But while Peter was perplexed in himself what was meant by the vision which he had seen, then, behold! the men which had been sent by Cornelius having inquired out the house of Simon, stood before the door,

But while Peter was musing upon the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men are inquiring after thee.

but having risen, go down and go on with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them;'

Inviting them in, therefore, he entertained them; but, on the morrow, he rose up and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren who were from Joppa went with him;

And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and his intimate friends.

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

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

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

"You cannot but know the message which he sent to the descendants of Israel, when he preached the gospel of peace by Jesus Christ who is Lord of all;

"And we are witnesses as to all that He did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. But they even put Him to death, by crucifixion.

But God raised Him to life on the third day, and permitted Him to be dearly seen,

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

But the apostles and brethren being throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also received the word of God.

But when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who emphasized circumcision disagreed with him.

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

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

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

And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no hesitation. But with me went also these six brethren, and we entered into the man's house:

I had but just begun to speak," continued Peter, "when the Holy Spirit fell on them, exactly as on us at the first;

and I remembered the saying of the Lord, 'John baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'

If then God gave to them the identical gift as also to us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, but what power was I to hinder God?

When they heard this, they had no answer to make, but gave God the glory, saying, "So God has given even the heathen the repentance that leads to life."

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

But there were some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who on reaching Antioch began to speak to the Greeks too, and proceeded to tell them the good news about the Lord Jesus.

But the talk concerning them came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem; and they sent forth Barnabas, to go as far as Antioch;

But at this time king Herod reached forth his hands to persecute some of those from the church.

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

But when Herod was about to lead him forth, and Peter was sleeping that night between two soldiers, and bound with two chains; and the guards were keeping guard before the door.

But an angel of the Lord flashed on him, and a light shone in the cell; striking Peter on the side he woke him, saying, "Quick, get up!" The fetters dropped from his hands,

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

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

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

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

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

But having become day, there was no small stir among the soldiers what then became of Peter.

Herod searched for him but didn't find him, so he questioned the guards and ordered them to be executed. Then he left Judea, went down to Caesarea, and stayed there for a while.

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

But on an appointed day, Herod, invested with his royal apparel, sitting on his tribunal, delivered a discourse to them:

But the people began to call out loudly, "The voice of a god and not of a man!"

But the angel of the Lord at once struck him down, because he did not give the glory to God; he was eaten by worms, and so died.

But the word of God grew and multiplied.

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

But Saul, also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked him straight in the eye

And those with Paul, sailing from Paphos, went to Perga in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

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

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

But when they had finished all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

But God raised him from the dead:
