down to the day when, after issuing his orders by the holy Spirit to the disciples whom he had chosen, he was taken up to heaven.

who said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up to heaven? This Jesus who has been taken from you into heaven will come back, just as you have seen him depart to heaven."

Now it is written in the book of psalms, Desolate be his residence, may no one dwell in it: also, let another man take over his charge.

from the baptism of John down to the day when he was taken up from us ??of these men one must join us as a witness to his resurrection."

Then he said, "Men of Israel, take care what you do about these men.

But the Lord said to him, 'Take the sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is sacred ground.

She happened to take ill and die at this time, and after washing her body they laid it in an upper room.

See here, the Lord's hand will fall on you, and you will be blind, unable for a time to see the sun." In a moment a dark mist fell upon him, and he groped about for someone to take him by the hand.

And as John was closing his career he said, 'What do you take me for? I am not He; no, he is coming after me, and I am not fit to untie the sandals on his feet!'

But while Barnabas wanted to take John (who was called Mark) along with them,

Paul held they should not take a man with them who had deserted them in Pamphylia, instead of accompanying them on active service.

But Paul replied, "They flogged us in public and without a trial, flogged Roman citizens! They put us in prison, and now they are going to get rid of us secretly! No indeed! Let them come here themselves and take us out!"

Now we had gone on beforehand to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. This was his own arrangement, for he intended to travel by land.

Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock of which the holy Spirit has appointed you guardians; shepherd the church of the Lord which he has purchased with his own blood.

(They had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian along with him in the city, and they supposed Paul had taken him inside the temple.)

Some of the crowd roared one thing, some another, and as he could not learn the facts owing to the uproar, he ordered Paul to be taken to the barracks.

Just as he was being taken into the barracks, Paul said to the commander, "May I say a word to you?" "You know Greek!" said the commander.

till the commander ordered him to be taken inside the barracks and examined under the lash, so as to find out why the people shouted at him in this way.

The quarrel then became so violent that the commander was afraid they would tear Paul in pieces; he therefore ordered the troops to march down and take him from them by force, bringing him inside the barracks.

They then went to the high priests and elders, saying, "We have taken a solemn oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul.

Paul summoned one of the officers and said, "Take this young man to the commander, for he has some news to give him."

Now do not let them persuade you. More than forty of them are lying in ambush for him, and they have taken a solemn oath neither to eat nor to drink till they have murdered him. They are all ready at this moment, awaiting your consent."

To this day I have had the help of God in standing, as I now do, to testify alike to low and high, never uttering a single syllable beyond what the prophets and Moses predicted was to take place.

Just before daybreak Paul begged them all to take some food. "For fourteen days," he said, "you have been on the watch all the time, without a proper meal.

Take some food then, I beg of you; it will keep you alive. You are going to be saved! Not a hair of your heads will perish."
