And Saul rose from the earth, but when he opened his eyes he could not see: so they led him by the hand, and brought him to Damascus.

but Saul was apprised of their design. And they watched the gates day and night, to make away with him:

And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to associate with the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

but when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.

And it happened, about the same time, that she fell sick and died: and when they had washed her they laid her out in an upper chamber.

Then Peter arose, and went with them: and when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood round him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made when she was with them.

On the morrow, while they were on their journey, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

And he was very hungry, and desired something to eat: but while they were getting it ready, he fell into a trance; and saw heaven opened,

And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of a good character among all the nation of the Jews, hath been warned from God by an holy angel, to send for thee to his house, and to hear what thou shalt say.

And the next day they came into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relations and intimate friends.

And we are witnesses of all things that He did, both in the country of Judea, and in the city of Jerusalem: whom notwithstanding they put to death, hanging Him on a tree.

for they heard them speaking in divers languages, and glorifying God.

And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. And they desired him to stay there some days.

And this was done thrice: and then they were all drawn up again to heaven.

And when they heard these things they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God given to the Gentiles also repentance unto life.

Now they that were dispersed by the trouble, which arose about Stephen, travelled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but the Jews only.

But some of them were Cyprians, and Cyrenians, who when they came to Antioch, discoursed with the Grecians also, preaching the Lord Jesus.

And the report of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem; and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

And they assembled in the church a whole year, and taught much people: and the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.

Which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

And passing through the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate, that leadeth into the city, which of its own accord opened to them: and they went out and passed on through one street; and then the angel departed from him.

And they said to her, Thou art mad: but she confidently affirmed that it was so. Then said they, It is his angel.

But Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door, they saw him, and were astonished.

And Herod was going to make war upon the Tyrians and Sidonians: but they came to him with one consent, and making interest with Blastus the king's chamberlain, they sued for peace; because their territory was supplied with provision by the king's country.

And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their charge, taking along with them John who was sirnamed Mark.

and as they were ministring to the Lord, and fasting, the holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.

Then having fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them they sent them away.

These therefore being sent forth by the holy Spirit came down to Seleucia, and from thence they sailed away to Cyprus.

And when they arrived at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John for their assistant.

And going quite through the island even to Paphos, they found there a certain magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus.

And they passing on from Perga came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and sat down.

---The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and raised the people, while they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with mighty power brought them out of it.

And then they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the Son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.

And though they found in Him no capital offence, yet they desired of Pilate that He might be put to death.

And when they had finished all things that were written concerning Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb.

As they went out of the synagogue of the Jews, the Gentiles desired that these words might be spoken to them on the following sabbath.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, opposing and reviling him.

And when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were determined for eternal life believed.

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

And at Iconium they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great number both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.

They therefore stayed a considerable time speaking freely of the Lord, who bare witness to the word of his grace, and gave signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

being apprised of it they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the adjacent country:

and there they preached the gospel.

And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul Mercury; because he was the chief speaker.

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

And saying these things, they with difficulty restrained the people from sacrificing to them.

And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch;

And when they had appointed them elders in every church, praying and fasting, they recommended them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

And passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

And when they had preached the word at Perga, they went down to Attalia.

And from thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God, for the work which they had now fulfilled.

And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they related what God had done by them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

And they spent a considerable time there with the disciples.

They therefore, being brought forward on their way by the church, passed through Phenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles: and they gave great joy to all the brethren.

And when they came to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they told them all that God had done by them.

But there rose up, said they, some of the sect of the pharisees that believed, saying, that it was necessary to circumcise them, and enjoin them to keep the law of Moses.

But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, in like manner as they.

And after they had done speaking, James rose up and said, Brethren, hearken unto me.

that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

and they wrote by their hand, as follows, The apostles and elders and brethren here to the Gentile brethren which are in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, send greeting.

Being thus dispatched they came to Antioch, and when they had assembled the brethren, they delivered the epistle.

And when they had read it, they rejoiced at the consolation it brought.

And after some time, they were dismissed with peace from the brethren to the apostles.

And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return and visit our brethren in every city, where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are.

And there was a sharp dispute, so that they separated from each other; and Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus: but Paul chose Silas and departed,

wherefore Paul was desirous that he should go forth with him, and took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

And as they passed through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees that had been made by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.

And when they had passed through Phrygia and Galatia, being forbidden by the holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia, they came to Mysia, and endeavoured to go to Bithynia:

So they passed by Mysia, and came down to Troas.

And he came out that instant. And when her masters saw, that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the court to the magistrates.

And when they brought them to the governors, they said, These men cause great disturbance in our city, for they are Jews, and teach customs,

And when they had given them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thine house.

And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all in his family.

But Paul said unto them, They have publicly beaten us, uncondemned, and Romans, and cast us into prison, and do they now turn us out privately? No verily, let them come themselves and fetch us out.

And the serjeants reported these words to the governors: and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.

And they came and intreated them, and when they had brought them out, they desired them to leave the city.

And when they were come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia: and seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

But the unbelieving Jews being filled with envy, collected some loose profligate fellows, and making a tumult set all the city in an uproar: and assaulting Jason's house, they sought for them in order to bring them out to the populace.

But not finding them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, these men that have turned the world upside down,

are come hither also, and Jason has privately received them. And they all act contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying, there is another king, one Jesus.

And they alarmed the people, and the rulers of the city upon hearing these things:

but they taking security of Jason and the rest, let them go.

And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.

These were more ingenuous than those at Thessalonica; for they received the word with all readiness of mind, searching the scriptures daily, whether these things were so.

But when the Jews of Thessalonica knew that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, to stir up the people.

And they that conducted Paul attended him to Athens: and receiving an order to Silas and Timothy, to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.

And they took and brought him to the Areopagus, and said, May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest?

that they might seek the Lord, if possibly they might trace Him, and find Him: though indeed He is not far from every one of us.

And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some laughed at it: and others said, We will hear thee again concerning this matter.

and as he was of the same trade, he staid and worked with them: for they were tent-makers.

But as they opposed and blasphemed, he shook his garment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clear of it: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

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

and finding some disciples there, he said unto them, Have ye received the holy Spirit since ye embraced the faith? And they said unto him, Nay, we had not even heard whether the holy Spirit be yet given.

And he said unto them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into the baptism of John.

Then said Paul, John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people, that they should believe in Him that was coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.

And when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

And as Paul laid his hands on them, the holy Spirit came upon them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And the men were in all about twelve.

And the man in whom the evil spirit was, leapt upon them, and mastered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
