He said, "The man who took pity on him." Jesus said to him, "Then go and do the same."

but some of them said, "It is by Beelzebul the prince of daemons that he casts out daemons."

This is why the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some they will kill and some they will persecute';

It was at this time that some people came to tell him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

Some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."

Just then some Pharisees came up to tell him, "Get away from here, for Herod intends to kill you."

Will the man not rather say to him, 'Get some thing ready for my supper; gird yourself and wait on me till I eat and drink; then you can eat and drink yourself'?

Well, it is the same with you; when you have done all you are bidden, say, 'We are but servants; we have only done our duty.' "

Some Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Check your disciples, teacher."

Then he proceeded to tell the people the following parable. "A man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went abroad for some time.

Some of the Sadducees came up, who deny any resurrection, and put a question to him.

Some of the scribes declared, "Teacher, that was a fine answer!"

Some were speaking of the temple with its ornamentation of splendid stones and votive gifts, but he said,

You will be betrayed by your very parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends, and some of you will be put to death.

Then he said to them, "But he who has a purse must take it now, and the same with a wallet; and he who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.

and sat down among some people who had lit a fire in the courtyard and were sitting round it.

Herod was greatly delighted to see Jesus; he had long wanted to see him, because he had heard about him and also because he hoped to see him perform some miracle.

But the other checked him, saying, "Have you no fear even of God? You are suffering the same punishment as he.

Though some women of our number gave us a surprise; they were at the tomb early in the morning

Some of our company did go to the tomb and found things exactly as the women had said, but they did not see him."

"Then who are you?" they said; "tell us, so that we can give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say for yourself?"

Now it was some of the Pharisees who had been sent to him;

Now Philip belonged to Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter;

Then he said, "Now draw some out, and take it to the manager of the feast." They did so;

The wind blows where it wills; you can hear its sound, but you never know where it has come from or where it goes: it is the same with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

[vss 22-30 moved to between 2:12 and 2:13] After this Jesus and his disciples went into the country of Judaea, where he spent some time with them baptizing.

(his disciples had gone to the town to buy some food).

So Jesus made this answer to them: "Truly, truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, nothing but what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does the same.

So, as some boats from Tiberias had put in near the spot where they had eaten bread after the Lord's thanksgiving,

And yet there are some of you who do not believe" (for Jesus knew from the very first who the unbelieving were, and who was to betray him;

And the crowd disputed about him hotly; some said, "He is a good man," but others said, "No, he is misleading the people."

Then said some of the Jerusalemites, "Is this not the man they want to kill?

On hearing this some of the people said, "This really is the Prophet";

some wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

Nicodemus, one of their number (the same who had come to him before), said to them,

Some said, "It is"; others said, "No, but it is like him." He said, "I am the man."

He replied, "The man they call Jesus made some clay and smeared my eyes with it and told me, 'Go and wash them in Siloam'; so I went and washed them, and I got my sight."

So the Pharisees asked him again how he had regained his sight, and he told them, "He smeared some clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and now I can see."

Then said some of the Pharisees, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath"; others said, "How can a sinner perform such Signs?" They were divided on this.

Whereupon the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" ??37 though some of them asked, "Could he not have prevented him from dying, when he could open a blind man's eyes?"

But some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done;

Now there were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the festival;

some of them thought that as Judas kept the money-box, Jesus told him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the poor.)

So some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean by telling us, 'In a little while, you will behold me no longer; then, after a little, you shall see me'? and, 'I go to the Father'?"

So after procuring troops and some attendants belonging to the high priests and the Pharisees, Judas went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

And the soldiers twisted some thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple robe,

On the evening of that same day ??the first day of the week ??though the disciples had gathered within closed doors for fear of the Jews, Jesus entered and stood among them, saying, "Peace be with you!"

When they got to land, they saw a charcoal fire burning, with fish cooking on it, and some bread.

Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught."

Some others sneered, "They are brim-full of new wine!"

But a man called Ananias, who with his wife Sapphira had sold some property,

appropriated some of the purchase-money with the connivance of his wife; he only brought part of it to lay before the feet of the apostles.

"Ananias," said Peter, "why has Satan filled your heart and made you cheat the holy Spirit by appropriating some of the money paid for the land?

"Tell me," said Peter, "did you only sell the land for such and such a sum?" "Yes," she said, "that was all we sold it for."

Some of those who belonged to the so-called synagogue of the Libyans, the Cyrenians, and the Alexandrians, as well as to that of the Cilicians and Asiatics, started a dispute with Stephen,

they were carried across to Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

Now for some time previous a man called Simon had been practising magic arts in the town, to the utter astonishment of the Samaritan nation; he made himself out to be a great person,

he asked. "Why, how can I possibly understand it," said the eunuch, "unless some one puts me on the right track?" And he begged Philip to get up and sit beside him.

As they travelled on, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Here is water! What is to prevent me being baptized?"

Then he took some food and felt strong again. For several days he stayed at Damascus with the disciples.

In Joppa Peter stayed for some time, at the house of Simon a tanner.

You must now send some men to Joppa for a certain Simon who is surnamed Peter;

He became very hungry and longed for some food. But as they were getting the meal ready, a trance came over him.

So he invited them in and entertained them. Next day he was up and off with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa;

And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain for some days.

Well then, if God has given them exactly the same gift as he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I ??how could I try to thwart God?"

Some of them, however, were Cypriotes and Cyrenians, who on reaching Antioch told the Greeks also the gospel of the Lord Jesus;

During these days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch,

It was about that time that king Herod laid hands of violence on some members of the church.

Herod made inquiries for him but could not find him; so, after cross-examining the guards, he ordered them off to death. He then went down from Judaea to Caesarea, where he spent some time.

At Iconium the same thing happened. They went into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke in such a way that a great body both of Jews and Greeks believed.

The populace of the town was divided; some sided with the Jews, some with the apostles.

As a sharp dispute and controversy sprang up between them and Paul and Barnabas, it was arranged that Paul and Barnabas, along with some others of their number, should go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and presbyters at Jerusalem about this question.

But some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisaic party got up and said, "Gentiles must be circumcised and told to observe the law of Moses."

No, it is by the grace of the Lord Jesus that we believe and are saved, in the same way as they are."

Then the apostles and the presbyters, together with the whole church, decided to select some of their number and send them with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch. The men selected were Judas (called Bar-Sabbas) and Silas, prominent members of the brotherhood.

Having learned that some of our number, quite unauthorized by us, have unsettled you with their teaching and upset your souls,

we have decided unanimously to select some of our number and send them to you along with our beloved Paul and Barnabas

Then after some time had passed the brothers let them go with a greeting of peace to those who had sent them.

Some days later, Paul said to Barnabas, "Come and let us go back to visit the brothers in every town where we have proclaimed the word of the Lord. Let us see how they are doing."

We then came to the Roman colony of Philippi, which is the foremost town of the district of Macedonia. In this town we spent some days.

Some were persuaded and threw in their lot with Paul and Silas, including a host of devout Greeks and a large number of the leading women.

But the Jews were aroused to jealousy; they got hold of some idle rascals to form a mob and set the town in an uproar; they attacked Jason's house in the endeavour to bring them out before the populace,

but as they failed to find Paul and Silas they haled Jason and some of the brothers before the politarchs, yelling, "These upsetters of the whole world have come here too!

Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also came across him. Some said, "Whatever does the fellow mean with his scraps of learning'?" Others said, "He looks like a herald of foreign deities" (this was because he preached 'Jesus' and 'the Resurrection').

You talk of some things that sound strange to us; so we want to know what they mean."

for it is in him that we live and move and exist ??as some of your own poets have said, 'We too belong to His race.'

But on hearing of a 'resurrection of dead men,' some sneered, while others said, "We will hear you again on that subject."

Some men, however, did join him and believe, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman called Damaris, and some others.

and as he belonged to the same trade he stayed with them and they all worked together. (They were workers in leather by trade.)

Paul was just on the point of opening his lips to reply, when Gallio said to the Jews, "If it had been a misdemeanour or wicked crime, there would be some reason in me listening to you,O Jews.

After spending some time there he went off on a journey right through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening the disciples.

It was when Apollos was in Corinth that Paul, after passing through the inland districts, came down to Ephesus. There he found some disciples,

But as some grew stubborn and disobedient, decrying the Way in presence of the multitude, he left them, withdrew the disciples, and continued his argument every day from eleven to four in the lecture-room of Tyrannus.

Some strolling Jewish exorcists also undertook to pronounce the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches!"

Some of the Asiarchs, who were friends of his, also sent to beg him not to venture into the amphitheatre.)

Some were shouting one thing, some another; for the assembly was in confusion, and the majority had no idea why they had met.

Some of the mob concluded it must be Alexander, as the Jews pushed him to the front. So Alexander, motioning with his hand, wanted to defend himself before the people;

accompanied by some of the disciples from Caesarea, who conducted us to the house of Mnason, a Cypriote, with whom we were to lodge. He was a disciple of old standing.

Taking some soldiers and officers, he at once rushed down to them, and when they saw the commander and the soldiers they stopped beating Paul.
