beginning from his baptism by John until the day he was taken up from us -- one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us."

This one heaven must receive until the time all things are restored, which God declared from times long ago through his holy prophets.

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.

And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people by which we must be saved."

But Peter and the apostles replied, "We must obey God rather than people.

But stand up and enter the city and you will be told what you must do."

For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name."

The voice spoke to him again, a second time, "What God has made clean, you must not consider ritually unclean!"

But Paul said to the police officers, "They had us beaten in public without a proper trial -- even though we are Roman citizens -- and they threw us in prison. And now they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! They themselves must come and escort us out!"

Now after all these things had taken place, Paul resolved to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. He said, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

So because these facts are indisputable, you must keep quiet and not do anything reckless.

By all these things, I have shown you that by working in this way we must help the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

Paul replied, "I did not realize, brothers, that he was the high priest, for it is written, 'You must not speak evil about a ruler of your people.'"

The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, "Have courage, for just as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."

and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul! You must stand before Caesar, and God has graciously granted you the safety of all who are sailing with you.'

But we must run aground on some island."
