For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.

But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

But others, making sport of them, said, They are full of new wine.

But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice, O men of Judaea, and all you who are living in Jerusalem, take note of this and give ear to my words.

But this is the thing which was said by the prophet Joel;

But Peter said, I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up on your feet.

But so that it may not go farther among the people, let us put them in fear of punishment if they say anything in future in this name.

But Peter and John in answer said to them, It is for you to say if it is right in the eyes of God to give attention to you more than to God:

And all those who were of the faith were one in heart and soul: and not one of them said that any of the things which he had was his property only; but they had all things in common.

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, got money for his property,

But Peter said, Ananias, why has the Evil One put it into your heart to be false to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

While you had it, was it not your property? and after you had given it in exchange, was it not still in your power? how has this purpose come into your mind? you have been false, not to men, but to God.

But Peter said to her, Why have you made an agreement together to be false to the Spirit of the Lord? See, the feet of the young men who have put the body of your husband in the earth, are at the door, and they will take you out.

The others, in fear, kept back from joining them: but the people made much of them;

But the high priest and those who were with him (the Sadducees) were full of envy,

But in the night an angel of the Lord, opening the doors of the prison, took them out and said,

And hearing this, they went into the Temple at dawn, and were teaching. But the high priest and those who were with him got together the Sanhedrin and the representatives of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to get them.

But the men who were sent saw that they were not in the prison, and came back with the news,

Saying, The doors of the prison were safely shut, and the keepers were at the doors, but when they were open, there was nobody inside.

Then the captain and some of the police went and took them, but not violently, for fear that they might be stoned by the people.

But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said, We have to do the orders of God, not of man.

But when these words came to their ears, they were cut to the heart, and had a mind to put them to death.

But one of the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a man of learning in the law, of whom all the people had a high opinion, got up and made a suggestion for the men to be put outside for a little time.

And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing:

But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God.

But some of those who were of the Synagogue named that of the Libertines, and some of the men of Cyrene and of Alexandria and those from Cilicia and Asia, had arguments with Stephen.

But the man who was doing wrong to his neighbour, pushing him away, said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

By whom our fathers would not be controlled; but they put him on one side, turning back in their hearts to Egypt,

But Solomon was the builder of his house.

But still, the Most High has not his resting-place in houses made with hands, as the prophet says,

But with loud cries, and stopping their ears, they made an attack on him all together,

And Saul gave approval to his death. Now at that time a violent attack was started against the church in Jerusalem; and all but the Apostles went away into all parts of Judaea and Samaria.

But Saul was burning with hate against the church, going into every house and taking men and women and putting them in prison.

But those who had gone in flight went everywhere preaching the word.

But there was a certain man named Simon, who in the past had been a wonder-worker and a cause of surprise to the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was a great man:

But when they had faith in the good news given by Philip about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, a number of men and women had baptism.

But Peter said, May your money come to destruction with you, because you had the idea that what is freely given by God may be got for a price.

But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Get up, and go to the south, to the road which goes from Jerusalem to Gaza, through the waste land.

But Philip came to Azotus, and went through all the towns, preaching the good news, till he came to Caesarea.

But Saul, still burning with desire to put to death the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

But get up, and go into the town, and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.

And the men who were with him were not able to say anything; hearing the voice, but seeing no one.

But Ananias said, Lord, I have had accounts of this man from a number of people, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem:

But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:

But Saul went on increasing in power, and the Jews in Damascus were not able to give answers to the arguments by which he made it clear that Jesus was the Christ.

But Saul got knowledge of their design. And they kept watch day and night on the roads out of the town, so that they might put him to death:

But his disciples took him by night and let him down from the wall in a basket.

And when he came to Jerusalem, he made an attempt to be joined to the disciples, but they were all in fear of him, not taking him for a disciple.

But Peter said, No, Lord; for I have never taken food which is common or unclean.

But Peter, lifting him up, said, Get up, for I am a man as you are.

And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:

But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.

Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead.

But Peter gave them an account of it all in order, saying to them,

But I said, No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever come into my mouth.

But the voice, coming a second time from heaven, said, What God has made clean, do not you make common.

And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.

And they said to her, You are off your head. But still she said, with decision, that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.

But Peter went on giving blows on the door: and when it was open and they saw him, they were full of wonder.

But he made a sign to them with his hand to be quiet, and gave them an account of how the Lord had taken him out of prison. And he said, Give the news to James and the brothers. And then he went away.

And when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.

But God gave him back from the dead:

But he, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction.

But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching.

Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles.

But the Jews, working up the feelings of the God-fearing women of high position and of the chief men of the town, got an attack started against Paul and Barnabas, driving them out of those parts.

But they, shaking off the dust of that place from their feet, came to Iconium.

But those Jews who had not the faith, made the minds of the Gentiles bitter against the brothers.

But there was a division among the people of the town; some were on the side of the Jews and some on the side of the Apostles.

But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy.
