And Lydda being near Joppa, the disciples hearing Peter was there, sent to him two men, desiring that he would not delay to come to them.

Then Peter arose and went with them; whom being come, they brought into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

He saw plainly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of the Lord coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.

And looking stedfastly on him, and being affrighted, he said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God.

And when the angel who spake to him was departed, he called two of his houshold-servants, and a devout soldier, of them that waited on him continually.

And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel like a great sheet, tied at the four corners, descending to him, and let down on the earth:

And a voice came to him, Rise, Peter, kill and eat.

And the voice came to him again, the second time, What God hath purified, call not thou common.

While Peter was musing on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men seek thee.

And he invited them in and lodged them. And the next day, Peter went away with them; and certain brethren from Joppa went with him.

And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down at his feet, worshiped him.

But Peter raised him up saying, Arise: I myself also am a man.

So Peter was kept in the prison; but continual prayer was made to God by the church for him.

And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.

And behold, an angel of the Lord stood over him, and light shined in the house: and smiting Peter on the side he waked him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals; and he did so. And he saith to him, Throw thy garment about thee, and follow me.

And going out, he followed him. And he knew not, that it was real which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision.

When they had passed the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which opened to them of its own accord: and going out, they went on through one street; and immediately the angel departed from him.

But he beckoning to them with his hand, to be silent, declared to them, How the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Shew these things to James and to the brethren.

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate, that he might be put to death.

For Moses hath of old time them that preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every sabbath-day.

But Paul thought it not right to take with them him, who had departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

Him Paul would have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places; for they all knew his father, that he was a Greek.

a man of Macedonia stood and intreated him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

And they spake the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.

And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens, and having received an order to Silas and Timothy, to come to him with all speed, they departed.

Then they all took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.

And Paul still continued many days; and then taking leave of the brethren, sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shaved his head at Cenchrea; for he had a vow.

And he came to Ephesus, and left him there; but he himself going into the synagogue, reasoned with the Jews.

But though they intreated him to tarry longer with them, he consented not:

And he spake boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla hearing him, took him to their house, and explained to him the way of God more perfectly.

And having abode there three months, an ambush being laid for him by the Jews, as he was about to sail into Syria, he determined to return by Macedonia.

And there accompanied him to Asia Sopater of Berea, and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Caius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

And Paul went down and fell on him; and taking him in his arms, said, Be not troubled; for his life is in him.

And when they were come to him, he said to them, Ye know in what manner I have conversed among you, all the time from the first day I came into Asia,
