this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified -- ye did slay;

because Thou wilt not leave my soul to hades, nor wilt Thou give Thy Kind One to see corruption;

having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again of the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles,

and it shall be, every soul that may not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed out of the people;

and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.

And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him -- being the sect of the Sadducees -- were filled with zeal,

and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree;

And they having heard, were cut to the heart, and were taking counsel to slay them,

and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning him -- and the witnesses did put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul --

And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;

and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;

And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the chief priest,

and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, 'Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?'

and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus,

and the Lord saith unto him, 'Having risen, go on unto the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, one by name Saul of Tarsus, for, lo, he doth pray,

And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him his hands, said, 'Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me -- Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming -- that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.'

and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,

And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

and their counsel against him was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,

And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, did try to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,

and there came a voice unto him: 'Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.'

and we -- we are witnesses of all things that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, -- whom they did slay, having hanged upon a tree.

and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;

And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,

which also they did, having sent unto the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with them John, who was surnamed Mark.

And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers; both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also -- Herod the tetrarch's foster-brother -- and Saul;

and in their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,'

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire to hear the word of God,

And Saul -- who also is Paul -- having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked stedfastly on him,

And those about Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, did turn back to Jerusalem,

and thereafter they asked for a king, and God did give to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul -- contradicting and speaking evil.

and thence did sail to Antioch, whence they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled;

there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, did sail to Cyprus,

having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the morrow also to Neapolis,

And we having gone before unto the ship, did sail to Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;

for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem.

I fell also to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?

having come unto me and stood by me, said to me, Saul, brother, look up; and I the same hour did look up to him;

and we all having fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute? hard for thee against pricks to kick!

and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,

And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,

and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, there to winter, which is a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,

And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, 'It behoved you, indeed, O men -- having hearkened to me -- not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;

who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail -- they were lading us with the things that were necessary.

And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
