There were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the festival,

for some of them thought that as Judas had the purse Jesus meant to say to him, "Buy what we need for the festival," or to have him give something to the poor.

Then some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean when he tells us, 'In a little while you will not see me any longer, and a little while after, you will see me again,' and 'Because I am going away to the Father'?"

So Judas got out the garrison and some attendants from the high priests and Pharisees, and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

When they landed they saw a charcoal fire burning, with a fish on it, and some bread.

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

When Peter saw this, he said to the people. "Men of Israel, why are you so surprised at this? Why do you stare so at us, as though it were some power or some piety of ours that had made him able to walk?

There were some men from Cyprus and Cyrene among them, however, who when they reached Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, and told them the good news about the Lord Jesus.

About that time some prophets from Jerusalem came down to Antioch,

About that time King Herod laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church.

They spent some time there, speaking fearlessly and relying upon the Lord, who bore witness to his gracious message by letting signs and wonders be done by them.

But the people of the town were divided, some siding with the Jews and some with the apostles.

though he did not fail to give some evidence about himself, through his kindnesses to you, in sending you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, giving you food and happiness to your heart's content."

But some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and won the people over, and they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, thinking that he was dead.

Some people came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers that unless they were circumcised as Moses prescribed, they could not be saved.

This created a disturbance and a serious discussion between Paul and Barnabas and them, and it was agreed that Paul and Barnabas and some others of their number should go up to Jerusalem to confer with the apostles and elders about this question.

But some members of the Pharisees' party who had become believers got up and said that such converts ought to be circumcised and told to obey the Law of Moses.

As we have heard that some of our number, without any instructions from us, have disturbed you by their teaching and unsettled your minds,

After they had stayed some time, the brothers let them go, with a greeting to those who had sent them.

Some time after, Paul said to Barnabas, "Come, let us go back and revisit the brothers in each of the towns where we made the Lord's message known, to see how they are doing."

From there we went to Philippi, a Roman garrison town, and the principal place in that part of Macedonia. In this town we stayed for some days.

He convinced some of them, and they joined Paul and Silas, along with a great many devout Greeks and a number of the principal women.

This offended the Jews and they gathered some unprincipled loafers, formed a mob and started a riot in the town. They attacked Jason's house, to find them and bring them out among the people.

As they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the town magistrates, shouting, "The men who have made trouble all over the world have come here too,

Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers debated with him. Some of them said, "What is this rag-picker trying to make out?" Others said, "He seems to be preaching some foreign deities." This was because he was telling the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.

Some of the things you tell us sound strange to us, and we want to know just what they mean."

For it is through union with him that we live and move and exist, as some of your poets have said, " 'For we are also his offspring.'

When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, "We should like to hear you again on this subject."

Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and took us to the house of Mnason, a man from Cyprus, one of the early disciples, to spend the night.

He immediately got some officers and men and hurried down among them, and when they saw the colonel and the soldiers they stopped beating Paul.

Some of the crowd shouted one thing and some another, and as he could not find out the facts on account of the confusion, he ordered him to be taken into the barracks.

"Are you not the Egyptian who some time ago raised the four thousand cut-throats and led them out into the desert?"

Some time after, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea on a state visit to Festus,

the promise in the hope of seeing which fulfilled our twelve tribes serve God zealously night and day. It is about this hope, your Majesty, that I am accused by some Jews.

When it was decided that we were to sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were turned over to an officer of the Imperial regiment, named Julius.

For a number of days we made slow progress and had some difficulty in arriving off Cnidus. Then as the wind kept us from going on, we sailed under the lee of Crete, off Cape Salmone,

Some of them were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.

and to ask that somehow by God's will I may some day at last succeed in reaching you.

For I long to see you, to convey to you some spiritual gift that will strengthen you;

I want you to understand, brothers, that I have often intended to come to see you (though thus far I have been prevented) in order to produce some results among you, as well as among the rest of the heathen.

What if some of them have shown a lack of faith? Can their lack of it nullify the faithfulness of God?

Why, a man will hardly give his life for an upright person, though perhaps for a really good man some may be brave enough to die.

in the hope of making my countrymen jealous, and thus saving some of them.

If some of the branches have been broken off, and you who were only a wild olive shoot have been grafted in, in place of them, and made to share the richness of the olive's root,

The man who will eat anything must not look down on the man who abstains from some things, and the man who abstains from them must not criticize the one who does not, for God has accepted him.

But, just to refresh your memories, I have written you pretty boldly on some points, because of the favor God has shown me

Some of you seem to think that I am not coming to visit you, and are putting on airs about it.

Some of you used to be like that; but you have washed it all away, you have been consecrated, you have become upright, by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.

About food that has been offered to idols, it is true, as you say, that we all have some knowledge on that matter. Knowledge gives people airs; love is what builds up character.

If a man thinks he has acquired some knowledge, he does not yet know it as well as he ought to know it.

But it is not everyone that has this knowledge; for some, through being long accustomed to idols, still eat meat that has been sacrificed to them as really offered to an idol, and their consciences, being oversensitive, are troubled.

To the overscrupulous I have become overscrupulous, so as to win the overscrupulous; I have become everything to everybody, so as by all means to save some of them.

You must not become idolaters, like some of them, for the Scripture says, "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to dance."

Let us not practice immorality, like some of them, twenty-three thousand of whom fell dead in one day,

Let us not try the Lord's patience too far, as some of them did, for they were killed for it by the snakes.

You must not grumble, as some of them did, for they were destroyed for it by the destroying angel.

For I myself received from the Lord the account that I passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus the night he was betrayed took some bread

I want you all to speak ecstatically, but I especially want you to be inspired to preach. The man who is inspired to preach is more useful than the one who speaks ecstatically??nless he can explain what he says so that it may do the church some good.

But as it is brothers, if I come back to you and speak ecstatically, what good will I do you, unless I have some revelation or special knowledge or message or teaching to give you?

But if they are all inspired to preach and some unbeliever or outsider comes in, he is convinced of his sin by them all, he is called to account by them all,

After that he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, although some of them have fallen asleep.

Now if what we preach about Christ is that he was raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead?

Return to your sober sense as you ought, and stop sinning, for some of you are utterly ignorant about God. To your shame I say so.

and I will probably stay some time with you, or even pass the winter, so that you may start me off for wherever I may be going.

For I do not want to see you now just in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you if the Lord permits it.

as some of you have come to understand me, and that you will understand that you have a right to be proud of me, as I have of you, on the Day of our Lord Jesus.

But if anyone has hurt anybody's feelings, it is not so much mine, as yours, or at least those of some of you, not to be too hard upon you all.

Am I falling into self-recommendation again? Do I, like some people, need letters of recommendation to you or from you?
