When they came into the city, these men went to the upstairs room where they had been staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

who was one of the men associated with us all the time the Lord Jesus came and went among us,

United in purpose, they went to the Temple every day, ate at each other's homes, and shared their food with glad and humble hearts.

and he sprang to his feet, stood up, and began to walk. Then he went with them into the Temple, walking, jumping, and praising God.

After they were released, Peter and John went to their fellow believers and told them everything the high priests and the elders had said.

As a result, people kept carrying their sick into the streets and placing them on stretchers and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he went by.

Then the high priest and all those from the sect of the Sadducees who were with him were filled with jealousy. So they went out,

After the apostles heard this, they went into the Temple at daybreak and began to teach. The high priest and those who were with him arrived, called the Council and all the elders of Israel together, and sent word to the prison to have the men brought in.

So the commander of the Temple guards went with his men to bring them back without force, because they were afraid of being stoned to death by the people.

So Jacob went down to Egypt. Then he and our ancestors died.

Now those who were scattered went from place to place preaching the word.

Philip went down to the city of Samaria and began to preach the Messiah to the people.

They went down and prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.

So he got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, who was a member of the court of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He was in charge of all her treasures and had come up to Jerusalem to worship.

So he ordered the chariot to stop, and Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.

When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch went on his way rejoicing and did not see Philip again.

Meanwhile, still spewing death threats against the Lord's disciples, Saul went to the high priest.

So Ananias left and went to that house. He laid his hands on Saul and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were traveling, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

So Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they took him upstairs. All the widows gathered around Peter, crying and showing him all the shirts and coats Dorcas had made while she was still with them.

Around noon the next day, while they were on their way and coming close to the town, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

While Peter was still at a loss to know what the vision he had seen could mean, the men sent by Cornelius asked for Simon's house and went to the gate.

So Peter went to the men and said, "I'm the man you're looking for. Why are you here?"

So Peter welcomed them as his guests. The next day, he got up and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went along with him.

As Peter talked with him, he went in and found that many people had gathered.

God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, he went around doing good and healing everyone who was oppressed by the devil.

But when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who emphasized circumcision disagreed with him.

They said, "You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them!"

The Spirit told me to go with them without hesitating. These six brothers went with me, too, and we entered the house of the man from Caesarea.

Now the people who were scattered by the persecution that started because of Stephen went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews.

So Peter went out and began to follow him, not realizing that what was being done by the angel was real; he thought he was seeing a vision.

They passed the first guard, then the second, and came to the iron gate that led into the city. It opened by itself for them, and they went outside and proceeded one block when the angel suddenly left him.

When Peter realized what had happened, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also called Mark, where a large number of people had gathered and were praying.

He motioned to them with his hand to be quiet, and then he told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He added, "Tell this to James and the brothers." Then he left and went somewhere else.

Herod searched for him but didn't find him, so he questioned the guards and ordered them to be executed. Then he left Judea, went down to Caesarea, and stayed there for a while.

After they had been sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus.

They went through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish occult practitioner and false prophet named Bar-jesus.

The Lord is against you now, and you'll be blind and unable to see the sun for a while!" At that moment a dark mist came over him, and he went around looking for someone to lead him by the hand.

Then Paul and his men set sail from Paphos and arrived in Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them and went back to Jerusalem.

They left Perga and arrived in Antioch in Pisidia. On the Sabbath day, they went into the synagogue and sat down.

So Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.

In Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed.

But the disciples formed a circle around him, and he got up and went back to town. The next day, he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.

As they were proclaiming the good news in that city, they discipled a large number of people. Then they went back to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

They spoke the word in Perga and went down to Attalia.

He went through Syria and Cilicia and strengthened the churches.

Paul also went to Derbe and Lystra, where there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish wife whose husband was a Greek.

As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for them to obey.

Because they had been prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the word in Asia, Paul and Timothy went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia.

They went as far as Mysia and tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them,

so they bypassed Mysia and went down to Troas.

Sailing from Troas, we went straight to Samothrace, the next day to Neapolis,

On the Sabbath day, we went out the city gate and walked along the river, where we thought there was a place of prayer. We sat down and began talking to the women who had gathered there.

Leaving the jail, Paul and Silas went to Lydia's house. They saw the brothers, encouraged them, and then left.

That night the brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

But when the Jewish leaders in Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul also in Berea, they went there to upset and incite the crowds.

After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,

Then he left that place and went to the home of a man named Titius Justus, who worshipped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue.

When they arrived in Ephesus, he left Priscilla and Aquila there. Then he went into the synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

When he arrived in Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, greeted the church there, and then returned to Antioch.

After spending some time there, he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

He went into the synagogue and spoke there boldly for three months, holding discussions and persuading those who heard him about the kingdom of God.

This went on for two years, so that all who lived in Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord.

When handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched his skin were taken to the sick, their diseases left them and evil spirits went out of them.

Then some Jews who went around trying to drive out demons attempted to use the name of the Lord Jesus on those who had evil spirits, saying, "I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches!"

He went through those regions and encouraged the people with everything he had to say. Then he went to Greece

These men went on ahead and were waiting for us in Troas.

On the first day of the week, when we had met to break bread, Paul began to address the people. Since he intended to leave the next day, he went on speaking until midnight.

But Paul went down, bent over him, took him into his arms, and said, "Stop being alarmed, because he's still alive."

Then he went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. He talked with them for a long time, until dawn, and then left.

When he met us in Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.

There we found a ship going across to Phoenicia, so we went aboard and sailed on.

and said goodbye to each other. Then we reboarded the ship, and they went back home.

The next day, we left and came to Caesarea. We went to the home of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven, and stayed with him.

Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us. They took us to the home of Mnason to be his guests. He was from Cyprus and had been an early disciple.

The next day, Paul went with us to visit James, and all the elders were present.

Then Paul took those men and the next day purified himself with them. Then he went into the Temple to announce the time when their days of purification would end and when the sacrifice would be offered for each of them.

When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and told him, "What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen!"

So the tribune went and asked Paul, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?" "Yes," he said.

They went to the high priests and elders and said, "We have taken a solemn oath not to taste any food before we have killed Paul.

This man had been seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I went with the guard and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen.

"Since I know that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I am pleased to present my defense. You can verify for yourself that I went up to worship in Jerusalem no more than twelve days ago.

Three days after Festus had arrived in the province, he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

Festus stayed with them no more than eight or ten days and then went down to Caesarea. The next day, he sat on the judge's seat and ordered Paul brought in.

When I went to Jerusalem, the high priests and the Jewish elders informed me about him and asked me to condemn him.

The next day, Agrippa and Bernice arrived with much fanfare and went into the auditorium along with the tribunes and the leading men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

After boarding a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to the ports on the coast of Asia, we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went with us.

The father of Publius happened to be sick in bed with fever and dysentery. Paul went to him, prayed, and healed him by placing his hands on him.

After that had happened, the rest of the sick people on the island went to him and were healed.
