But it was Solomon who built Him a house.

'But the Most High in sanctuaries made with hands doth not dwell, according as the prophet saith:

you, I say, who received the law by the administration of angels, but have not however observ'd it.

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

But Stephen, filled by the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven. He saw God’s glory, with Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and he said,

But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;

And Saul gave approval to his death. Now at that time a violent attack was started against the church in Jerusalem; and all but the Apostles went away into all parts of Judaea and Samaria.

Devout men buried Stephen and mourned deeply over him.

But Saul laid waste the church, entering into every house, and dragging men and women committed them to prison.

but they that were dispers'd, preach'd the gospel wherever they went.

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, as he preached the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized.

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

But the apostles in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John:

(For he had not yet fallen on any of them, {but they had only been baptized} in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

But Simon, having seen that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit was given, offered them money,

But Peter told him, “May your silver be destroyed with you, because you thought the gift of God could be obtained with money!

But Simon answered [and] said, "You pray to the Lord for me so that nothing of what you have said will come upon 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?

When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any longer. But he 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.

Saul still breathing out nothing but threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord,

But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven,

“But get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must 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 from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at 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 by night and lowered him in a large basket through an opening in the wall.

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 when the brethren knew of that, they brought him to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

But there was a certain disciple in Joppa, by name Tabitha, who being interpreted is called Dorcas: and she was full of good works and alms which she was doing.

But as time went on, she became [very] sick and [eventually] died. Her body was washed [by the women attendants] and placed in an upstairs room [during the mourning process].

But Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, beseeching him, Thou must not delay coming 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 Italic,

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 as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek 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.

The Message which He sent to the descendants of Israel, when He announced the Good News of peace through Jesus Christ--He is Lord of all--that Message you cannot but know;

And we [apostles] are witnesses of all that He did, both in the region where Jews lived and in Jerusalem [as well]. But they killed Him by hanging Him on a tree [i.e., the cross].

but God raised him up the third day, and shewed him openly,

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;

Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

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, Cypriot and Cyrenian men, who came to Antioch and began speaking to the Hellenists, proclaiming 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.

And Herod sought him out earnestly, but not being able to find him, after having examined the guards strictly, he commanded them to be executed. And going down from Jerusalem to Caesarea, took up his abode there.

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 at the instant an angel of the Lord smote him, because he did not glorify God: so that he became a prey to worms and died. In the mean time, the

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, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,

Now {Paul and his companions} put out to sea from Paphos [and] came to Perga in Pamphylia, but John departed from 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:
