So he sent into Macedonia two of those that ministred to him, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself stayed some time in Asia.

Some of the public officials in Asia, who were friendly to him, also sent word to him, begging him not to risk himself in the theatre.

So they kept on shouting, some one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and the majority of them did not know why they had met.

Some of the crowd concluded that it was Alexander, since the Jews had pushed him to the front, and since Alexander had made a gesture of the hand as though he would make a defense before the people.

Then he went upstairs again, broke bread and took some food, and after talking with them a long time, even until daybreak, he left them.

Indeed, some of your own men will arise and distort the truth in order to lure the disciples into following them.

So we located some disciples and stayed there for seven days. Through the Spirit, they kept telling Paul not to go to Jerusalem,

While we were spending some days here, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

upon hearing this, we and some of the city intreated him not to go to Jerusalem.

Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and took us to the house of Mnason, a man from Cyprus, one of the early disciples, to spend the night.

But as the seven days were now drawing to their period, some Jews from Asia seeing him in the temple, excited all the populace to tumult, and laid hands upon him,

So he at once got together some soldiers and captains and hurried down against them, but as soon as they saw the colonel and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

But they kept shouting in the crowd, some one thing, some another. As he could not with certainty find out about it, because of the tumult, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.

The tribune asked, "Oh, do you speak Greek? You're not the Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led 4,000 assassins into the desert, are you?"

"No," said Paul, "I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a city of some note; and I beg you to give me permission to speak to the people."

immediately those who were going to put him to the question, withdrew: the commander himself being under some apprehension for having order'd him to be bound.

When Paul saw that some of them were Sadducees and others were Pharisees, he shouted in the Council, "Brothers, I'm a Pharisee and a descendant of Pharisees. I'm on trial concerning the hope that the dead will be resurrected."

So there was a vociferous yelling until some of the scribes, belonging to the party of the Pharisees, got up and fiercely contended, "We find nothing wrong with this man. Suppose a spirit or angel has really spoken to him!"

And when it was day, some of the Jews, having formed a conspiracy, bound themselves with a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

Now therefore do ye with the rest of the sanhedrim signify to the tribune, that he would bring him down to you to-morrow, as if you would examine more accurately some things concerning him: and we are ready to dispatch him before he come near you."

Paul summoned one of the officers and said, "Take this young man to the commander, for he has some news to give him."

And he said, The Jews have agreed together to entreat thee that to-morrow thou wouldest bring down Paul into the sanhedrim, as about to make some more accurate inquiry concerning him.

This man being seized by the Jews, and about to be killed by them, I came upon them with some soldiers and rescued him: for I understand that he is a Roman.

and found him accused of some disputed points of their law; but to have no charge laid against him worthy of death or of bonds.

Five days later, the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a prosecuting attorney, Tertullus, and through him they presented their case against Paul before the governor.

We arrested him, for he attempted to desecrate [even] the Temple {{Some ancient manuscripts add verse

Now after some years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings:

Upon which some Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude nor with tumult:

But there were some Jews from Asia who ought to be here before you and to present their charges, if they have any, against me.

He ordered the centurion to guard Paul but to let him have some freedom and not to keep any of his friends from caring for his needs.

Some days later, Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him talk about faith in Christ Jesus.

And as he discoursed of righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment which is ready to be revealed, Felix being greatly terrified, replied, Go, for the present, I will some time hence take another opportunity of calling for thee.

After staying among them some eight or ten days, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he took his seat on the Bench, and ordered Paul to be brought before him.

But after some days king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.

And as they were there for some days, Festus gave them Paul's story, saying, There is a certain man here who was put in prison by Felix:

but they had some issues with him concerning their own religion, and concerning a certain Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul claimed to be alive.

Of whom I have not anything certain to write to the lord. Wherefore I brought him to you, and especially to thee, king Agrippa, so that, examination having been, I should have some thing to write.

They had previously known me for quite some time, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I lived as a Pharisee.

which promise our twelve tribes, by devotedly worshiping day and night, hope to see fulfilled for them. It is for this hope, your Majesty, that I am accused by some Jews.

For this reason some Jews seized me in the temple and tried to put me to death.

When it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they turned over Paul and some other prisoners to a colonel of the imperial regiment, named Julius.

For a number of days we made slow progress and had some difficulty in arriving off Cnidus. Then as the wind kept us from going on, we sailed under the lee of Crete, off Cape Salmone,

But some time being spent and navigation not being safe, because the fast had already passed by, Paul advised,

And, running under the lee, of some small island, called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to make ourselves masters of the boat, -

the next day the storm work'd the ship with great fury; they threw some of her lading over board:

And yet we must be stranded on some island."

But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;

Then fearing least they should fall upon some rocky places, they cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for day.

Some sailors tried to escape from the ship; they had let down the skiff into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow.

And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take some food, saying, Fourteen days this day ye continue waiting without proper food, having taken nothing:

Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

After saying this he took some bread and thanked God for it before them all; then he broke it in pieces and began to eat it.

Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

The soldiers proposed to kill the prisoners, for fear some of them might swim ashore and escape,

And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

But when Paul had got some sticks together and put them on the fire, a snake came out, because of the heat, and gave him a bite on the hand.

Now near that place there was some land, the property of the chief man of the island, who was named Publius; who very kindly took us into his house as his guests for three days.

There we found some brothers, and they begged us to spend a week with them. In this way we finally reached Rome.

And when the brethren heard of us, they came from thence to meet us, some as far as Appii-forum, and others to the Three-taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage.

But when the Jews objected, I was forced to appeal to Caesar -- not that I had some charge to bring against my own people.

Some of them were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.

For the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; lest some day they should see with their eyes, and with their ears they should hear, and in their mind they should understand, and should turn--and I should heal them.'

Then let it be known to you that salvation from God is [now] being announced to the Gentiles. They will listen [to it]." {{Some ancient manuscripts insert verse
