Upon this Peter invited them in and entertained them. The next day he lost no time in setting out with them, accompanied by some of the Brethren from Jaffa;

For I tell you that we are in danger of being proceeded against for to-day's riot, there being nothing to account for it; and in that case we shall be at a loss to give any reason for this disorderly gathering."

So they met here, and without loss of time I took my seat on the Bench the very next day, and ordered the man to be brought before me.

And, as I was at a loss how to enquire into questions of this kind, I asked Paul if he were willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there be put upon his trial.

Yet, even as things are, I urge you not to lose courage, for there will not be a single life lost among you--only the ship.

So I urge you to take something to eat; your safety depends upon it, for not one of you will lose even a hair of his head."
