wherefore of those who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus convers'd among us,

ye men of Israel attend to what I say; Jesus of Nazareth was a man whom God distinguished among you, by miracles, by prodigies, and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as you your selves also know:

and whoever he be that will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people."

having therefore order'd them to withdraw from the council, they conferred among themselves,

but to prevent its spreading any further among the people, let us charge them with threats not to speak for the future to any man in that name.

for there was no poor among them, because as many as bad lands or houses, sold them, and brought the value,

among the rest one Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (that is to say, the son of consolation) a Levite, and a native of Cyprus,

Thus were many signs and wonders wrought among the people, by the apostles, who us'd to meet in Solomon's porch with great unanimity:

Now Stephen full of grace and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

they answered, Cornelius the centurion, a man of probity and piety, one that has an universal good character among the Jews, was divinely admonish'd by an holy angel to send for you to his house, to hear what you had to say to him.

all the Jewish converts, who came with Paul, were astonished to see that the gift of the holy spirit was diffused likewise among the Gentiles.

It is to you, my brethren, who are the children of Abraham, and to all who fear God among you, that this salutary news is sent.

When the people saw what Paul had done, they cry'd out in the Lycaonian tongue, the Gods have assum'd a human form, and are descended among us.

but Paul and Barnabas being appriz'd of it, tore their clothes, and throwing themselves among the crowd,

and after the question had been much canvass'd, Peter rose up, and said, my brethren, you know that a considerable time since God chose me from among you to preach the gospel to the Gentiles, and bring them to the faith.

The whole assembly were very silent, whilst Barnabas and Paul related what miracles and prodigies God had wrought among the Gentiles by their ministry.

Simon has related how God began to visit the Gentiles, to chuse from among them a people consecrated to his name.

Then the apostles, the presbyters, and the whole church thought it proper to select some out of their own body to accompany Paul and Barnabas to Antioch: such as Judas surnam'd Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren,

so he continued there a year and a half preaching the word of God among them.

but since it is about disputable matters, about names, and your own law, you may decide that among yourselves: for I won't take cognizance of such affairs."

and now I am persuaded you will none of you see my face any more: whilst I have been among you, I have proclaim'd the kingdom of the Messias:

nay, among your own body some will start up to vent their intricate conceits, and draw a number of followers.

after having saluted them, he gave a particular account of what God had wrought by his ministry among the Gentiles.

now they have heard that you instruct the Jews that are among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, by telling them they must not circumcise their children, nor observe the establish'd rites.

but the tumult growing worse, the tribune apprehensive that Paul might be torn to pieces among them, order'd detachment to secure him by force of arms, and bring him to the castle.

this man is known to be a pernicious fellow that goes about the world to raise seditions among the Jews: he is the ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,

the most considerable, said he, among you may go with me, and if he has committed any crime, let 'em begin the process.

what course of life I led at Jerusalem, where I was brought up from my youth among those of my own nation, is known to all the Jews.

[ having said this, the Jews went out, warmly debating it among themselves.]
