And having departed from the prison, they came in to Lydia. And after seeing the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.

And according to Paul's custom, he went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he discoursed with them from the Scriptures,

explaining and pointing out that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and, This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.

And after taking bond from Jason and the other men, they released them.

And he made from one blood every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having determined prescribed times, and the limits of their occupancy,

to search for the Lord, if indeed perhaps they might grope for him and find him, although being not far from each one of us.

For in him we live, and move, and exist, as also some of the performers from you have said, For of him we are also offspring.

Because he appointed a day during which he is going to judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he appointed, having provided assurance to all men because he raised him from the dead.

And so Paul departed from among them.

And after these things Paul having separated from Athens, he came to Corinth.

And having found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by origin, who recently came from Italy, and his wife Priscilla, because Claudius arranged for all the Jews to separate from Rome, he came to them.

And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was being held by the Spirit, fully testifying to the Jews, Jesus the Christ.

But when they opposed and slandered him, having shaken out his clothes, he said to them, Your blood is upon your heads. I am clean. From henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

And having departed from there, he went into the house of a certain man named Justus, who worships God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.

But if it is an issue about a word and names and the law from you, look ye yourselves, for I do not intend to be a judge of these things.

And he drove them from the judgment seat.

but separated from them, having said, I must definitely keep the coming feast at Jerusalem, but I will return again to you, God willing. And he launched from Ephesus.

But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, having withdrawn from them, he separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of a certain Tyrannus.

so as to even bring handkerchiefs or aprons from his skin to those who were incapacitated and to free their infirmities from them, and the evil spirits to go out from them.

to whom also (having assembled the workmen about such things) he said, Men, ye know that our prosperity is from this work.

And they urged forward Alexander out of the multitude, having put him forward from the Jews. And Alexander having waved his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd.

But after recognizing that he was a Jew, one voice developed from them all, crying out for about two hours, The great Artemis of Ephesians.

And when the town clerk calmed the multitude, he says, Ephesian men, now who is the man who does not know the city of the Ephesians being temple-guardian of the great goddess Artemis, and of what fell from Zeus?

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas within five days, where we stayed seven days.

And a certain young man named Eutychus sitting in the window, being carried away by deep sleep (Paul discoursing on more), being carried away by sleep, he fell down below from the third floor, and was taken up dead.

But we, having gone ahead to the ship, went up to Assos, intending from there to take up Paul, for so it was arranged, he himself intending to go on foot.

And having sailed from there on the next day, we arrived opposite Chios, and the next day we came near to Samos. And having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus.

And from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he summoned the elders of the congregation.

And when they came to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day in which I stepped in Asia, how I became with you all the time,

How I kept back nothing of these things that are beneficial, not to inform you, and to teach you in public, and from house to house,

except that the Holy Spirit testifies from city to city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

But I make nothing of the matter, nor do I hold my life precious to myself, so as to fully complete my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly testify the good-news of the grace of God.

Therefore I solemnly declare to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all men.

For I did not withdraw from declaring to you the whole plan of God.

And from you yourselves men will rise up, speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after them.

And when it came to pass to launch us, after being drawn away from them, after going a straight course, we came to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

And when we finished the voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais. And having greeted the brothers, we remained with them one day.

And as we remained more days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

And also the disciples from Caesarea went together with us, bringing a certain Mnason, a Cypriot, an old disciple with whom we would lodge.

And they were informed about thee, that thou teach all the Jews throughout the nations desertion from Moses, telling them not to circumcise the children nor to walk by the customs.

And about the Gentiles who have believed, we sent word, having decided for them to keep no such thing, except for them to guard against what is sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.

And when the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people and threw hands on him,

As also the high priest testifies about me, and all the senior council, from whom also having received letters to the brothers in Damascus, I was going to bring bound even those who were there to Jerusalem so that they might be pun

And there happened to me, while going and approaching Damascus about noon, suddenly to flash forth from heaven a great light around me.

And as I was not seeing from the splendor of that light, I came into Damascus, being led by hand by those who accompanied me.

And he said, The God of our fathers appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous man, and to hear a voice from his mouth,

And they heard him until this word. And they lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a man from the earth, for he is not fit to live.

Straightway therefore those who were about to examine him withdrew from him. And the chief captain was also afraid when he learned that he was a Roman, and because he was who bound him.

But on the morrow, wanting to know the certainty of why he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him from the bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to come. And having brought Paul down, he set him before them.

And a great conflict having developed, the chief captain, having been alarmed lest Paul might be torn apart by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from the midst of them, and bring him into the fort.

after writing a letter containing this form:

And the governor having read it, and having questioned from what province he was, and having found out that he was from Cilicia,

from whom thou will be able, having examined him, to learn about all these things of which we accuse him.

thou being able to learn that there are for me not more than twelve days from which I went up to worship in Jerusalem.

during which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a crowd or with a tumult,

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

And when he arrived, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood around, bringing many and serious accusations against Paul, which they could not prove,

Indeed therefore, my manner of life from youth, having developed from the beginning among my nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know,

having known me previously from the beginning, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

which also I did at Jerusalem. And I locked up many of the sanctified in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests. And when they were killed, I gave a vote against them.

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.

delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send thee,

to open their eyes to turn about from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, for them to receive remission of sins and a lot among those who have been sanctified by faith in me.

Having therefore experienced the help from God, I stand to this day solemnly declaring both to small and great, saying nothing apart from what both the prophets and Moses said was going to happen,

that the suffering Christ, since first from a resurrection of the dead, is going to proclaim light to our people and to the nations.

For the king knows about these things, before whom I also speak boldly. For I am convinced not any of these things, nothing, to be hidden from him. For this was not done in a corner.

And Paul said, I ever pray to God, both by little and by much, not only thee, but also all who hear me this day, to become such kind as I also am, apart from these bonds.

And having launched from there, we sailed under lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

And since the haven was inconvenient to winter in, the majority gave counsel to launch from there also, if somehow they might be able, after arriving at Phoenix, to winter in a haven of Crete, looking toward southwest and northwest

And being long without food, then Paul, who stood in the midst of them, said, Ye truly ought, O men, to have complied with me, not to launch from Crete, and gain this damage and loss.

And now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will not be one loss of life from you, except of the ship.

And fearing lest somehow we might falloff on rough places, having cast off four anchors from the stern, they prayed for day to develop.

And since the sailors sought to flee out of the ship, and having lowered the skiff into the sea in pretense as going to stretch out anchors from the bow,

Therefore I encourage you to take of food, for this is for your safety. For not a hair will fall from the head of one of you.

And having cast off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time unfastening the bands of the rudders. And having hoisted up the foresail to the wind, they held firm for the shore.

But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, prevented them from their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, having first jumped out, to go to the land,

and the remaining, some on boards, and some on any of the things from the ship. And so it came to pass for all to be saved to the land.

And Paul having gathered a quantity of sticks, and having placed them on the fire, a viper having come out from the heat, it fastened on his hand.

And when the foreigners saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to each other, Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, though saved from the sea, Justice did not allow to live.

from where having made a circuit, we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, wind from the south having developed, we came a second day to Puteoli,

And from there the brothers, who heard these things about us, came for a meeting with us as far as Appius Forum and The Three Taverns, whom, when Paul saw, having expressed thanks to God, he took courage.

And they said to him, We neither received letters from Judea about thee, nor did any of the brothers who came report or speak anything bad about thee.

But we think it worthy to hear from thee what thou think. For indeed about this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.

And having appointed a day for him, more came to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded, solemnly testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them of the things about Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from m
