And great joy was in that city.

And the sent in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John:

Who, having gone down, prayed for them, that they receive the Holy Spirit

And Simon having seen that by putting on of hands of the sent the Holy Spirit is given, he brought money to them,

Saying, Give me also this power, that upon whomsoever I put hands, he might receive the Holy Spirit.

And Simon having answered, said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that nothing which ye have spoken come upon me.

He asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he find certain men being of the way, and also women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

And he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and having put hand upon him, so that he might look up and see again.

And Ananias departed, and came into the house; and having put hands upon him said, Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me, Jesus, he seen to thee in the way which thou earnest, so that thou mightest look up, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

And quickly in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.

And all they hearing were affected in mind, and said: Is not this he having laid waste in Jerusalem those calling upon this name, and he has come here for this, that he might bring them having been bound to the chief priests?

And Saul was the more strengthened, and confounded the Jews dwelling in Damascus, demonstrating that this is the Christ.

But this project was known to Saul. And they observed narrowly the gates day, and also night, that they might kill him.

And Saul being present in Jerusalem, tried to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple.

And Barnabas having taken him, brought him to the sent, and recounted to them how in the way he saw the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he spake freely in the name of Jesus.

And Lydda being near Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in it, sent to him two men, beseeching not to hesitate to pass through even to them.

And he said to them, Ye know that it is violating law for a man a Jew to join himself, or come near to a strange tribe: and God shewed me to call no man common or unclean.

And Peter having opened the month; said, Of a truth I comprehend that God is no respecter of faces!

And he enjoined us to proclaim to the people, and to testify that this is he appointed by God, Judge of the living and the dead.

And believers of the circumcision were affected in mind, as many as came with Peter, that also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out.

And the apostles and brethren, those being in Judea, heard that the nations also received the word of God.

Saying, That thou camest in to men having uncircumcision, and didst eat With them.

And at that time Herod the king laid hands upon to injure certain of the church.

And having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added also to take Peter. (They were the days of unleavened bread.)

And when Herod was about to bring him before, in that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the watch before the door kept the prison.

And having come out, he followed him; and knew not that it is true that being done by the messenger; and seemed to see a vision.

And Peter being as himself, said, Now know I truly that the Lord sent his messenger, and took me out of the hands of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

Then the proconsul having seen that done, he believed, being struck with amazement at the teaching of the Lord.

And that he raised him from the dead, no more about to return to corruption, so he said, That I will give you the holy, faithful things of David.

Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that for him remission of sins is announced to you.

See ye, therefore, that that spoken by the prophets come not upon you.

And it was in Iconium according to the same, went they into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude of the Jews and also of Greeks believed.

He having heard Paul speaking, who having looked intently upon him, and seen that he has faith to be cured,

And having announced that city the good news, and made disciples sufficient, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,

And supporting the souls of the disciples, beseeching to remain in the faith, that through many pressures we must come into the kingdom of God.

And having arrived, and gathered the church together, they announced what God did with them, and that he opened the door of faith to the nations.

And certain having come down from Judea taught the brethren, That except ye be circumcised by Moses custom, ye cannot be saved.

And certain of them from the sect of the Pharisees having believed, rose up, saying, That they must be circumcised, and to enjoin to keep the law of Moses.

And much discussion having been, Peter having risen up, said to them, Men, brethren, ye know that from ancient days God chose among us, through my month for the nations to hear the word of good news, and believe.

So that they remaining of men might seek out the Lord, and all the nations upon whom my name has been called upon them, says the Lord, making all these.

Since we heard that certain of us having come out have troubled you with words, destroying your souls, saying, To be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we sent no word:

Therefore there was an incitement, so that they separated from one another: and Barnabas, having taken Mark, sailed to Cyprus;

Him Paul wished to go forth with him; and having taken, he circumcised him, on account of the Jews being in those places: for all knew his father that he was a Greek.

And when he saw the vision, we quickly sought to come out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord called us to announce good news to them.

And thence to Philippi, which is the first city of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in that city passing certain days.

And her lords having seen that the hope of their gain went out, taking Paul and Silas, they drew to the assembly to the rulers,

And suddenly was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all were let loose.

And bringing them out, he said, Lords, what must I do that I might be saved

And having taken them in that hour of the night, he washed out the blows; and was immersed, he and all his, immediately.

And the jailor announced these words to Paul, That the generals have sent that ye be loosed: now therefore having come out, go in peace.

:And the bearer of the rod announced these words to the generals: and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans.

Opening and setting before, that it was necessary for Christ to suffer, and rise from, the dead; and that this is Christ Jesus, whom I announce to you.

And not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, That those having subverted the habitable globe, these also are present here;

And when the Jews from Thessalonica heard that also in Berea the word of God was announced by Paul, they came there also, agitating the crowd.

And they conveying Paul brought him even to Athens: and having taken a command to Silas and Timothy that now they might come to him most speedily, they departed.

And Paul having stood in the midst of Mars' hill, said, Men, Athenians, I see that in all things ye have a superstitious fear of divinity.

And Paul said, John truly immersed the immersion of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.

And this was for two years: so that all dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

So that also upon the sick were brought from his body napkins or aprons, and diseases were removed from them, and evil spirits came out of them.

And the man leaping upon them in whom the evil spirit was, and having overpowered them, he was strong against them, so that naked and wounded they fled out of the house.

And when these were completed, Paul proposed in spirit, having passed through Macedonia and Achaia to go to Jerusalem, saying, That after have been there, I must also see Rome.

And in that time was there no little trouble about the way.

Whom having collected together and the workmen of such things, he said, Men, ye know that out of this work is our good food.

And ye see and hear that not only Ephesus, but almost all Asia, this Paul having persuaded, changed a sufficient crowd, saying, that they are not gods made by hands:

And having known that he is a Jew, there was one voice from all crying for about two hours, Great the Diana of the Ephesians.

And the scribe having calmed the crowd, says, Men, Ephesians, for who is the man that knows not the city of the Ephesians, being templekeeper of the great goddess Diana, and sent by Jove?

But that the Holy Spirit testifies in the city, saying that bonds and pressures await me.

And now, behold, I know that all ye shall see my face no more, among whom I passed through, proclaiming the kingdom of God.

Wherefore I testify to you in this day, that I pure from the blood of all.

For I know this, that there shall come in after my departure grievous wolves to you, not sparing the flock.

Wherefore watch ye, remembering that the space of three years night and day I ceased not reminding each one with tears.

And ye yourselves know, that to my necessities, and to those being with me, these hands served.

I shewed you all things, that so being wearied ye must support the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that himself said, It is happy to give rather than receive.

Grieving chiefly for the word which he spake, that they are about to see his face no more. And they sent him forward to the ship.

And they were taught about thee, that thou teachest apostasy from Moses, all the Jews among the nations, saying, they are not to circumcise children, nor walk in the customs.

What is it therefore? the multitude must all come together: for they will hear that thou hast come.

Having taken these, be purified with them, and expend upon them, that they might shave the head: and all might know that what they are taught about thee is nothing; but thou proceedest in regular order, also thyself watching the law.

And of the nations having believed, we have written having judged them to keep nothing such, except to watch themselves from that sacrificed to idols, and blood, and strangulation, and harlotry.

(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian' whom they thought that Paul had brought into the temple.)

And seeking to kill him, a rumor went up to the captain of a thousand of the band, that the whole of Jerusalem had been embroiled.

(And having heard that he spake to them in Hebrew dialect, they held more silence: and he says,)

As also the chief priest testifies of me, and all the council of elders: and whose letters to the brethren having received, I went to Damascus, going to bring there the bound to Jerusalem, that they might be punished.

And when I saw not from the glory of that light, led by the hand of them being with me I came to Damascus.

And I said, Lord, these know that I was imprisoning and skinning in the synagogues them believing on thee:

The captain of a thousand commanded him to be brought to the camp, having spoken to examine him by scourges; that he might know for what cause they exclaimed so against him.

Then quickly they about to examine him withdrew from him: and the captain of a thousand was afraid, knowing that he is a Roman, and because he had bound him.

And on the morrow, wishing to know the certainty that why he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him from bonds, and commanded the chief priests and the whole of their council to come, and having brought down Paul, he set him among them.

And Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it has been written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

And Paul having known that one part is of the Sadducees, and the other of the Pharisees, cried in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee: for the hope and rising up of the dead am I judged.

Now therefore do ye exhibit to the captain of a thousand, with the council, so that to-morrow he might bring him down to you, as about to examine more accurately the things concerning him: and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill him.

And he said, That the Jews agreed together to ask thee, so that to-morrow thou mightest bring down Paul to the council, as about to inquire something more accurately about him.

Truly then the captain of a thousand discharged the young man, having enjoined him, Tell none that thou hast shown these things to me.

And having called two certain of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers, so that they go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred having held spears in the right hand, at the third hour of the night;

And to bring forward cattle to set Paul upon, that they might carry through safely to Felix the leader.

This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them: having stood with an army, I took him away, having learned that he is a Roman.

Then truly the soldiers according to that appointed them, having taken up Paul, brought by night to Antipatris.

And that I hinder thee no more, I beseech thee to hear us concisely by thy clemency.

Thou being able to know that not more than twelve days are to me from which I went up, going to worship in Jerusalem.

And this I confess to thee, that according to the way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things written in the law and the prophets:

Or of this one voice, which I cried standing with them, That of the rising up of the dead I am judged this day by you.
