but the Jews stirred up devout and honorable women, and the heads of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their territories.

But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and inflamed the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.

But the multitude of the city was divided: and some were for the Jews, and some for the apostles:

but when there was an effort both of the Gentiles and of the Jews, together with their rulers, to offer violence to them, and to stone them;

But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, when they heard of it, rent their clothes, and ran in among the people,

Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him even before the tribunal: but Gallio did not concern himself about the matter.

And he came to Esphesus, and left them there: but before his departure he himself went into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

Though when they desired him to stay longer with them, he did not consent: but took his leave of them,

saying, I must by all means keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem; but I will return to you again, God willing. So he sailed from Ephesus;

And how I with-held nothing that was useful, but have declared it to you, and have taught you publicly and from house to house:

and join in their expences, that they may shave their head: and that all may know, that there is nothing in what they have heard of thee; but thou thyself walkest according to the law.

But as to the believing Gentiles, we have written and determined, that they need observe no such thing; only to keep themselves from what is offered to idols, and from blood, and from any thing strangled, and from fornication.

But Paul, knowing that the one part were sadducees, and the other pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, "Brethren, I am a pharisee, the son of a pharisee: for the hope of a resurrection of the dead I am now prosecuted."

For the sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the pharisees acknowledge both.

So there was a great clamor: and the scribes that were of the party of the pharisees rose up and contended, saying, We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

But as there arose much contention, the tribune fearing least Paul should be torn in pieces by them, ordered a party of soldiers to go down, and take him by force out of the midst of them, and to bring him into the castle.

But Paul's sister's son, hearing of the ambush, came and entered into the castle, and told Paul.

But Lysias the tribune came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, commanding his accusers to come unto thee:

But this I confess unto thee, that after the way, which they call heresy, so do I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law, and the prophets:

But after two years Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; and being willing to gain favor with the Jews lest Paul confined.

But Festus answered, that Paul was in custody at Cesarea, and that he himself should go thither soon.

But Festus, being desirous to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there to be tried concerning these things before me?

For if I am indeed doing them wrong, and have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be nothing in what these men accuse me of, no one can give me up to them.
