Suddenly a sound like a violent wind blowing came from heaven and filled the entire house where they were sitting.

And tongues spreading out like a fire appeared to them and came to rest on each one of them.

Peter looked directly at him (as did John) and said, "Look at us!"

Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must obey him in everything he tells you.

Peter then told her, "Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!"

But someone came and reported to them, "Look! The men you put in prison are standing in the temple courts and teaching the people!"

saying, "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name. Look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood on us!"

All who were sitting in the council looked intently at Stephen and saw his face was like the face of an angel.

I am the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look more closely.

This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, 'God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.'

"You stubborn people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, like your ancestors did!

"Look!" he said. "I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!"

Now the passage of scripture the man was reading was this: "He was led like a sheep to slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

Now as they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look, there is water! What is to stop me from being baptized?"

Then the Lord told him, "Get up and go to the street called 'Straight,' and at Judas' house look for a man from Tarsus named Saul. For he is praying,

Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,

He saw heaven opened and an object something like a large sheet descending, being let down to earth by its four corners.

While Peter was still thinking seriously about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look! Three men are looking for you.

"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, an object something like a large sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came to me.

Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to look for Saul,

Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time!" Immediately mistiness and darkness came over him, and he went around seeking people to lead him by the hand.

But while John was completing his mission, he said repeatedly, 'What do you think I am? I am not he. But look, one is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet!'

Look, you scoffers; be amazed and perish! For I am doing a work in your days, a work you would never believe, even if someone tells you.'"

"Men, why are you doing these things? We too are men, with human natures just like you! We are proclaiming the good news to you, so that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.

So since we are God's offspring, we should not think the deity is like gold or silver or stone, an image made by human skill and imagination.

He wrote a letter that went like this:

Agrippa said to Festus, "I would also like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he replied, "you will hear him."

And that is what I did in Jerusalem: Not only did I lock up many of the saints in prisons by the authority I received from the chief priests, but I also cast my vote against them when they were sentenced to death.

But we would like to hear from you what you think, for regarding this sect we know that people everywhere speak against it."
