and continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they did eat their meals with gladness, and simplicity of heart,

One day as Peter and John were going together to the temple, at the ninth hour, which was the hour of prayer,

they were carrying a man who had been lame from his birth, one whom they daily laid at the gate of the temple called, Beauty-gate, to ask alms of those that pass'd into the temple.

he seeing Peter and John going into the temple, asked alms of them.

so that he fell a leaping, and walking, and entred with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

and knowing it was he who us'd to sit begging at the Beauty-gate of the temple, they were filled with wonder and amazement at such an event.

While they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadduces came upon them,

go, stand in the temple, and declare to the people, the whole doctrine of life.

when they heard that, they entred into the temple early in the morning, and taught. in the mean time, the high priest, and those of his party, being arrived at the council-chamber, summon'd all the Jewish senate to meet, and sent to the prison to bring the apostles before them.

Upon hearing this, the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests wonder'd bow this could be.

when somebody came and told them, the men whom ye order'd to prison, are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

and every day either in the temple or in private houses they continued to preach and proclaim Jesus to be the Christ.

it was Solomon however that built him a temple.

altho' the most high does not dwell in temples made with hands; as the prophet said, "heaven is my throne,

so that not only our profession runs the risk of being vilified; but the temple of the great goddess Diana will be depreciated, and her majesty, so rever'd thro' all Asia, and the whole world, will be discarded."

at length the town-clerk appeased the people, and thus began, "who is there, O Ephesians, that does not know, that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Diana, and of her statue, which fell from heaven:

accordingly Paul went to the men, and the next day was purified with them; then entring into the temple, he declar'd how long the time of the purification was to last, and when the offering was to be made for each of them.

The seven days being almost expir'd, the Asiatic Jews seeing him in the temple, rais'd a tumult, and fell upon him,

(for having seen Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the city, they imagin'd Paul had conducted him into the temple.)

the whole city was in an uproar, the people crouded together: they seized Paul, dragg'd him out of the temple, and then shut the gates.

at length being return'd to Jerusalem, one day as I was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance.
