said, O full of all deceit and all craft, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

And passing on from Perga, they went to Antioch in Pisidia, and going into the synagogue on the Sabbath they sat down.

And Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you that fear God, hear.

and removing him, he raised up for them David for a king, of whom also he said and testified, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.

And when John completed his course, he said, Who do you suppose I am? I am not [the Christ]; but behold, there comes after me one the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.

And that he raised him from the dead never more to return to destruction, he said thus; I will give you the sure promises of David.

See then that what is said by the prophets does not come upon you;

And the Jews seeing the multitudes were filled with envy, and contradicted the things said by Paul, disputing and blaspheming.

And both Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but since you cast it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the gentiles.

For thus has the Lord commanded us; I have set you for a light of nations, that you should be a salvation even to the end of the earth.

And there sat a certain man at Lystra, infirm in his feet, lame from his birth, who had never walked.

But some of those of the sect of the Pharisees who had believed, rose and said, that it is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

And after there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, Men and brothers, you know that in former days God chose among you that the gentiles should hear by my mouth the word of the gospel and believe.

After this will I return and build up the tabernacle of David which had fallen down, and rebuild its ruins, and set it up,

AND after some days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return and visit the brothers in every city in which we preached the word of the Lord, [and see] how they do.

And when she was baptized, and her house, she requested saying, If you have judged me faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay; and she constrained us.

and this she did for many days. And Paul being grieved turned around and said to the spirit, I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out of her in that hour.

and bringing them before the prefects said, These men, being Jews, greatly trouble the city,

and bringing them out said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, and your house.

and conducting them up into his house he set a table, and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.

But Paul said to him, They have beaten us publicly uncondemned, being Romans, and cast us into prison; and now do they privately cast us out? No, indeed: but let them come themselves and conduct us out.

And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers disputed with him, and some said, What does this trifler mean to say? And others, He seems to be a preacher of strange demons; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.

And Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus said, Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are extremely devoted to the worship of demons.

For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets have said, For we are his offspring.

But when they heard of a resurrection of the dead, some scoffed; but others said, We will hear you again of this.

But when they disputed and blasphemed, shaking his garments he said to them, Your blood be upon your heads; I, pure, from this time will go to the gentiles.

And the Lord said to Paul, in a vision by night, Fear not, but speak and be not silent,

And when Paul was about to open his mouth Gallio said to the Jews, If there was any injustice or evil imposition, O Jews, I would bear with you in a reasonable manner;

And they asking him to stay a longer time with them he did not consent,

and he said to them, Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? And they said to him, We have not heard that there is a Holy Spirit.

And he said to them, With what then were you baptized? And they said, With John's baptism.

Paul said, John indeed baptized [administered] the baptism of a change of mind, telling the people to believe on him that was to come after him, that is, on Jesus.

But the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?

assembling them together and laborers of like employments, said, Men, you know that our prosperity is derived from this employment,

And not only this work of ours is in danger of coming into contempt, but even the temple of the great goddess Diana of being set at nought, and her majesty also which all Asia and the world worships, of being destroyed.

And the clerk having stilled the multitude, said, Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of the Jove descended [image]?

And having said these words he dismissed the assembly.

But Paul going down fell on him, and embracing him, said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

And when they had come to him, he said to them, You know from the first day that I came into Asia, how I was with you at all times,

I have showed you all things, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

And having said these words he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

grieving most of all for the word which he said, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

AND when we had torn ourselves from them we set sail, and going in a straight course came to Cos, and on the next day to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.

And finding a ship crossing to Phenicia, going on board we set sail.

and coming to us, and taking Paul's girdle, and binding his hands and feet, he said, These things, says the Holy Spirit; Thus will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle, and deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.

and having heard, they glorified God, and said to him, You see, brother, how many ten thousands there are of those who have believed, among the Jews, and all are zealots of the law;

And being about to be carried into the fortress, Paul said to the chiliarch, May I have permission to speak to you? And he said, Do you understand Greek?

And Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of a not undistinguished city, I beg of you, permit me to speak to the people.

And he giving him permission, Paul stood up on the steps, and motioned with his hand to the people; and when there was great silence, he spoke in the Hebrew language, and said,

And he said, I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, instructed at the feet of Gamaliel in the accurate interpretation of the law of our fathers, and am a zealous worshipper of God as you all are to-day;

And I answered, Who are you, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus the Nazoraean, whom you persecute.

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise, and go to Damascus, and there it shall be told you of all things which are appointed for you to do.

coming and standing by, said to me, Brother Saul, Receive your sight. And in that hour I looked upon him.

And he said, The God of our fathers chose you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and hear the voice of his mouth,

And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in the synagogues those who believed on you;

And he said to me, Go, for I will send you to nations far away.

But when they extended him with cords, he said to the centurion standing by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man, a Roman, and uncondemned?

And the chiliarch came to him and said, Tell me, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes.

And the chiliarch answered, I acquired this citizenship for a great price. But Paul said, I am indeed, and was also born [one].

AND on the next day, wishing to know the truth in respect to what he was accused of by the Jews, [the chiliarch] released him, and commanded the chief priests and all the Sanhedrim to come together; and bringing Paul down he set him before them.

And Paul looking steadily at the Sanhedrim, said, Men and brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience to this day.

Then Paul said to him, God is about to strike you, whitewashed wall; and do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?

And those standing by said, Do you revile God's chief priest?

And Paul said, I knew not brothers that he was a chief priest; for it is written, You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people.

And having said this, there was a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the multitude were divided.

And on the following night the Lord stood by him and said, Be of good courage, for as you have testified of me at Jerusalem, so you must also testify at Rome.

who came to the chief priests and elders and said, We have bound ourselves under a curse to taste nothing till we kill Paul.

And Paul calling one of the centurions, said, Lead this young man to the chiliarch, for he has something to tell him.

He therefore took him and led him to the chiliarch, and said, Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to lead this young man to you, who has something to tell you.

And he said, The Jews have entered into a compact to ask you to bring down Paul to the Sanhedrim to-morrow, as if about to learn more accurately of something concerning him.

And calling two of the centurions he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen and two hundred light armed troops, after the third hour of the night.

I will hear you, he said, when your accusers have come; and he commanded him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.

and then, he said, the principal men among you may go down with me; if there is any thing against this man they may prosecute him.

But Festus wishing to gratify the Jews, answered Paul and said, Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried by me for these things?

And Paul said, I stand at the tribunal of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. I have not injured the Jews, as you also know very well.

When therefore, they came here, making no delay, the next day I sat on the tribunal, and ordered the man to be brought;

but had certain questions with him concerning their religion, and concerning one Jesus that was dead, who Paul said was alive.

And Agrippa [said] to Festus, I should like to hear the man also myself. And he said, To-morrow you shall hear him.

And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all the men present with us, you see this man, of whom all the multitude of the Jews besought me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought no longer to live.

And Agrippa said to Paul, You are permitted to speak for yourself. Then Paul stretched out his hand and made his defense.

And I said, Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom you persecute.

Having obtained therefore help from God, I have continued to this day, testifying to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said should take place;

And when Paul had said these words, Festus said with a loud voice, You are mad, Paul; much learning has driven you to madness.

But he said, I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but utter words of truth and sobriety.

And Agrippa said to Paul, You almost persuade me to be a Christian.

And Paul said, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day were both almost and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

And the king arose, and the procurator, and Bernice, and those who sat with them,

And Agrippa said to Festus, If he had not appealed to Caesar, this man might be released.

And going on board of a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places in Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us;

Then there having been long abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, You ought, men, taking my advice, not to have sailed from Crete, and to have saved this injury and loss.

and said, Fear not, Paul; you must stand before Caesar, and behold, God has given you all that sail with you.

Paul said to the centurion and soldiers, Unless these continue in the ship you cannot be saved.

And having said these things, and taken bread, he thanked God before all, and having broken began to eat.

And when the barbarians saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, This man is undoubtedly a murderer, whom though saved from the sea justice has not permitted to live.

but they expected that he would swell up, or suddenly fall down dead. And waiting a long time, and seeing nothing extraordinary happen to him, they thought differently, and said, He is a god.

And after three days he called the chief men of the Jews together; and when they had convened, said to them, Men and brothers, having done nothing contrary to the people or to the customs of the fathers, I was delivered up from Jerusalem a prisoner into the hands of the Romans,

And they said to him, We have neither received letters concerning you from Judea, nor has any one of the brothers come and reported or told any evil of you.

And appointing him a day they came in great numbers to his lodging, to whom he set forth and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning till evening.
