that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor permit that Holy One of thine to see corruption.

he, foreseeing this, spake of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul should not be left in the mansion of the dead, and that his flesh should not see corruption.

And on every soul there was an awe: and many miracles and signs were done by the apostles.

but ye slew the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead: of which we are witnesses.

But it shall come to pass, that every soul which will not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly exterminated from amidst the people."

And in the multitude of those that believed there was one heart and soul: and not one person said, that any part of his substance was his peculiar property; but all things were in common among them.

Then arose the high-priest, and all those who were connected with him, (which was the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with zeal,

and dragging him out of the city, stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, named Saul.

BUT Saul was delighted with his execution. Now on that very day commenced a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all, besides the apostles, were dispersed through the regions of Judea and Samaria.

But Saul ravaged the church, entering into the houses, and dragging men and women, cast them into prison.

BUT Saul, still breathing out threatenings and murder against the disciples of the Lord, applying to the high-priest,

and falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

Then the Lord said to him, Arise, go into the street called Strait, and inquire at the house of Judas for one named Saul a man of Tarsus: for, behold, he is praying,

Then went Ananias, and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who was seen by thee in the way that thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest recover thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

And when he had taken nourishment, he regained his strength. And Saul continued with the disciples who were at Damascus several days.

But Saul was endued with still greater power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, conclusively evincing that this person is the Messiah.

but their design was discovered to Saul. And they kept guard at the gates of the city day and night, that they might kill him.

But when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not crediting that he was a disciple.

And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; slay and eat.

Then I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter; slay and eat.

Then went forth Barnabas to Tarsus, in search of Saul:

which also they did, sending it off to the presbyters by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

And he slew James the brother of John with a sword.

Then Barnabas and Saul departed from Jerusalem, having completed the distribution [of the sum entrusted with them]; and they took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

NOW there were at Antioch, according to the established church, prophets and teachers; such as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger the black, and Lucius a Cyrenian, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch's foster-brother, and Saul.

And as they were employed in the ministry, and kept a fast, the Holy Ghost said, Set apart for me now both Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; he inviting to his house Barnabas and Saul, desired earnestly to hear the word of God.

Then Saul (now Paul), filled with the Holy Ghost, and fixing his eyes upon him,

And from that time they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.

But the unbelieving Jews, roused to a fit of zeal, and taking some of the lowest vulgar men of vile characters, and raising a mob, set the city in an uproar, and besetting the house of Jason, sought them to bring them unto the people.

Then Paul abode there yet many days, and taking leave of the disciples, he set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having cut off his hair at Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened on, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

AND tearing ourselves away from them, when we had set sail, we came in a direct course to Coos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.

And finding a ship passing over to Phenice, we went on board and set sail:

And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

came to me, and standing by me, said, Brother Saul, recover sight. And the same hour I looked up at him.

and when the blood of Stephen thy martyr was shed, I myself even stood by, and took delight in his execution, and guarded the garments of those who slew him.

And as we were all fallen prostrate on the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saving in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is difficult for thee to kick against the goads.

NOW as it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan cohort.

And embarking in a ship of Adrymittium, ready to sail for the coast of Asia, we proceeded on our voyage, Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

Then for many days making very slow way, and scarce reaching over against Knidos, the wind not favouring us, we coasted Crete, opposite Cape Salmone:

And the harbour not being well situated for a winter station, the greater part advised to sail from thence, if they possibly could reach as far as Phenice to pass the winter, a harbour open to the south-west and north-west.

Then they honoured us with many tokens of respect; and when we were about to sail, laid in for us every necessary store.
