And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:

My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,

And so, being lifted up to the right hand of God, and having the Father's word that the Holy Spirit would come, he has sent this thing, which now you see and have knowledge of.

For the word of God is for you and for your children and for all those who are far off, even all those who may be marked out by the Lord our God.

Who is to be kept in heaven till the time when all things are put right, of which God has given word by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been from the earliest times.

And all the prophets from Samuel and those who came after, every one of them, gave word of these days.

But a number of those who gave hearing to the word had faith; and they were now about five thousand.

And now, Lord, take note of their cruel words, and give your servants power to be preachers of your word without fear,

And when their prayer was ended, the place where they were was violently moved, and they all became full of the Holy Spirit, preaching the word of God without fear.

And the Apostles sent for all the disciples and said, It is not right for us to give up preaching the word of God in order to make distribution of food.

Then we will give all our time to prayer and the teaching of the word.

And the word of God was increasing in power; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem became very great, and a great number of priests were in agreement with the faith.

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

Now when the Apostles at Jerusalem had news that the people of Samaria had taken the word of God into their hearts, they sent to them Peter and John;

So they, having given their witness and made clear the word of the Lord, went back to Jerusalem, giving the good news on their way in a number of the small towns of Samaria.

And they said, Cornelius, a captain, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by all the nation of the Jews, had word from God by an angel to send for you to his house, and to give hearing to your words.

The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (who is Lord of all)--

That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,

While Peter was saying these words, the Holy Spirit came on all those who were hearing the word.

Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judaea had news that the word of God had been given to the Gentiles.

But the word of the Lord went on increasing.

And at Salamis they were preaching the word of God in the Synagogues of the Jews: and John was with them, helping them.

Who was with the ruler, Sergius Paulus, an able man. This man sent for Barnabas and Saul, desiring to have knowledge of the word of God.

And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the Synagogue sent to them, saying, Brothers, if you have a word of comfort for the people, say on.

From this man's seed has God given to Israel a Saviour, even Jesus, as he gave his word;

My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you who have the fear of God, to us the word of this salvation is sent.

And on the Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to the word of God.

Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles.

And the Gentiles, hearing this, were glad and gave glory to the word of God: and those marked out by God for eternal life had faith.

And the word of the Lord went through all the country.

So they kept there for a long time, taking heart in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace by causing signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

And, after preaching the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;

And so we have sent Judas and Silas, who will say the same things to you themselves, by word of mouth.

But Paul and Barnabas kept on in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of God, with a number of others.

And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go back and see the brothers in every town where we have given the word of God, and see how they are.

And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;

And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

Now these were more noble than the Jews of Thessalonica, for they gave serious attention to the word, searching in the holy Writings every day, to see if these things were so.

But when the Jews of Thessalonica had news that Paul was preaching the word at Beroea, they came there, troubling the people and working them up.

If then we are the offspring of God, it is not right for us to have the idea that God is like gold or silver or stone, formed by the art or design of man.

And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.

And Crispus, the ruler of the Synagogue, with all his family, had faith in the Lord; and a great number of the people of Corinth, hearing the word, had faith and were given baptism.

And he was there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

And this went on for two years, so that all those who were living in Asia had knowledge of the word of the Lord, Greeks as well as Jews.

So the word of the Lord was increased very greatly and was full of power.

And now, I give you into the care of God and the word of his grace, which is able to make you strong and to give you your heritage among all the saints.

But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, which is not an unimportant town: I make a request to you to let me say a word to the people.

And they gave him a hearing as far as this word; then with loud voices they said, Away with this man from the earth; it is not right for him to be living.

But Paul's sister's son had word of their design, and he came into the army building and gave news of it to Paul.

So the chief captain let the young man go, saying to him, Do not say to anyone that you have given me word of these things.

And now I am here to be judged because of the hope given by God's word to our fathers;
