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

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,

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?

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,

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

Some of the crowd roared one thing, some another, and as he could not learn the facts owing to the uproar, he ordered Paul to be taken to the barracks.

Thus a loud clamour broke out. Some of the scribes who belonged to the Pharisaic party got up and contended, "We find nothing wrong about this man. What if some spirit or angel has spoken to him?"

Paul summoned one of the officers and said, "Take this young man to the commander, for he has some news to give him."

Five days later down came the high priest Ananias with some elders and a barrister called Tertullus. They laid information before the governor against Paul.

and it was in presenting these that I was found within the temple. I was ceremonially pure, I was not mixed up in any mob or riot; no, the trouble was caused by some Jews from Asia,

He gave orders to the officer to have Paul kept in custody but to allow him some freedom and not to prevent any of his own people from rendering him any service.

Some days later Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and heard what he had to say about faith in Christ Jesus;

Some days had passed, when king Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.

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

Just before daybreak Paul begged them all to take some food. "For fourteen days," he said, "you have been on the watch all the time, without a proper meal.

Take some food then, I beg of you; it will keep you alive. You are going to be saved! Not a hair of your heads will perish."

where we came across some of the brotherhood, who invited us to stay a week with them. In this way we reached Rome.

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

For I do yearn to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift for your strengthening ??12 or, in other words, that I may be encouraged by meeting you, I by your faith and you by mine.

Brothers, I would like you to understand that I have often purposed to come to you (though up till now I have been prevented) so as to have some results among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

Even supposing some of them have proved untrustworthy, is their faithlessness to cancel the faithfulness of God?

Why should we not do evil that good may come out of it?" (which is the calumny attributed to me ??the very thing some people declare I say). Such arguments are rightly condemned.

Indeed, as Isaiah foretold, Had not the Lord of hosts left us with some descendants, we would have fared like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorra.

in the hope of being able to make my fellow-Jews jealous and of managing thus to save some of them.

Supposing some of the branches have been broken off, while you have been grafted in like a shoot of wild olive to share the rich growth of the olive-stem,

Some of you were once like that; but you washed yourselves clean, you were consecrated, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

Whoever imagines he has attained to some degree of knowledge, does not possess the true knowledge yet;

But remember, it is not everyone who has this 'knowledge.' Some who have hitherto been accustomed to idols eat the food as food which has been really offered to an idol, and so their weaker conscience is contaminated.

to the weak I have become as weak myself, to win over the weak. To all men I have become all things, to save some by all and every means.

And you must not be idolaters, like some of them; as it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to make sport.

Nor must we commit immorality, as some of them did ??and in a single day twenty-three thousand of them fell.

Nor must we presume upon the Lord as some of them did ??only to be destroyed by serpents.

And you must not murmur, as some of them did ??only to be destroyed by the destroying angel.

Suppose now I were to come to you speaking with 'tongues,' my brothers; what good could I do you, unless I had some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching to lay before you?

Whereas, if everybody prophesies, and some unbeliever or outsider comes in, he is exposed by all, brought to book by all;

after that, he was seen by over five hundred brothers all at once, the majority of whom survive to this day, though some have died;

Get back to your sober senses and avoid sin, for some of you ??and I say this to your shame ??some of you are insensible to God.

And what you sow is not the body that is to be; it is a mere grain of wheat, for example, or some other seed.

The chances are, I shall spend some time with you, possibly even pass the winter with you, so that you may speed me forward on any journey that lies before me.

I do not care about seeing you at this moment merely in the by-going; my hope is to stay among you for some time, with the Lord's permission.

Such was my intention. Now, have I shown myself 'fickle'? When I propose some plan, do I propose it in a worldly way, ready to mean 'no' as well as 'yes'?

Am I beginning again to 'commend' myself? Do I need, like some people, to be commended by written certificates either to you or from you?

You put up with it all right, when some interloper preaches a second Jesus (not the Jesus I preached), or when you are treated to a Spirit different from the Spirit you once received, and to a different gospel from what I gave you! Why not put up with me?

For I am afraid I may perhaps come and find you are not what I could wish, while you may find I am not what you could wish; I am afraid of finding quarrels, jealousy, temper, rivalry, slanders, gossiping, arrogance, and disorder ??21 afraid that when I come back to you, my God may humiliate me before you, and I may have to mourn for many who sinned some time ago and yet have never repented of the impurity, the sexual vice, and the sensuality which they have practised.

I warned you already, on my second visit, and I warn you now before I come, both you who sinned some time ago and the rest of you as well, that I will spare no one if I come back.

Now even though it were myself or some angel from heaven, whoever preaches a gospel that contradicts the gospel I preached to you, God's curse be on him!
