And when he intended to pass through into Achaia, the brothers wrote, having encouraged the disciples to receive him, who, when he arrived, assisted much those who believed through the grace.

he said to them, Did ye receive Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, But we have not even heard if there is a Holy Spirit.

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

And having sent into Macedonia two of those who help him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

And when Paul wanted to enter in to the crowd, the disciples did not let him.

And also some of the Asian officers, being their friends, having sent to him, implored him not to give himself into the theatre.

And they urged forward Alexander out of the multitude, having put him forward from the Jews. And Alexander having waved his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd.

Indeed therefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen with him, have a matter against any man, forums are brought, and there are proconsuls. Let them accuse each other.

And having spent three months there, and a conspiracy having developed against him by Jews, intending to go up into Syria, a decision developed to return through Macedonia.

And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean, and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius a Derbean, and Timothy, and the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.

But Paul having come down, he fell on him, and having embraced him he said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene.

For Paul determined to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not happen to lose time in Asia. For he was hastening, if it were possible, for him to become at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

And when they came to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day in which I stepped in Asia, how I became with you all the time,

And there developed considerable weeping of all. And having fallen on Paul's neck, they kissed him much,

sorrowing especially for the word that he had spoken, that they were going to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

And on the morrow, after going forth, those around Paul came to Caesarea. And having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, being of the seven, we dwelt with him.

And having come to us, and having taken Paul's belt, having bound both his feet and hands, he said, The Holy Spirit says these things: Thus the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him into the h

And when we heard these things, both we and those local men urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

And when the men heard, they glorified God, having said to him, Thou see, brother, how many thousands there are of the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealots of the law.

And when the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people and threw hands on him,

For they were men who saw Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul brought into the temple.

And the whole city was moved, and there developed a running together of the people. And having taken Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and straightaway the doors were shut.

And while seeking to kill him, a report went up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem has been stirred up.

And the chief captain having come near, he seized him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains. And he inquired whoever he may be, and what it is he has been doing.

And some among the crowd shouted out one thing, some another. And not being able to know the certainty because of the uproar, he commanded him to be carried into the fort.

And it came to pass when on the steps (it happened for him to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd,

for the mass of the people followed, crying out, Away with him),

And having permitted him, Paul, having stood on the steps, motioned his hand to the people. And when a great hush developed, he called out in the Hebrew language, saying,

And those who were with me indeed saw the light and became afraid, but they heard not the voice of him who spoke to me.

having come near me, and having stood by, he said to me, Brother Saul, look up. And I looked up on him the same hour.

because thou will be a witness for him to all men of the things that thou have seen and heard.

And I saw him saying to me, Hurry and depart in haste out of Jerusalem, because they will not accept thy testimony about me.

And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I myself also was standing by, and approving his killing, and keeping the garments of those who killed him.

And they heard him until this word. And they lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a man from the earth, for he is not fit to live.

the chief captain commanded him be brought into the fort, having said to examine him by scourging, so that he might know for what reason they shouted against him this way.

And as they stretched him out with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, Is it permitted for you to scourge a Roman man, and uncondemned?

And the chief captain having come, he said to him, Tell me if thou are a Roman. And he said, Yes.

Straightway therefore those who were about to examine him withdrew from him. And the chief captain was also afraid when he learned that he was a Roman, and because he was who bound him.

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

And the high priest Ananias ordered those who stood by him to strike his mouth.

Then Paul said to him, God is going to smite thee, a whitewashed wall. Thou even sit judging me according to the law, and violating law, thou command me to be struck?

And there developed a great clamor. And some of the scholars of the Pharisees part having risen, they argued vehemently, saying, We find nothing wrong in this man. But if a spirit spoke to him, or a heavenly agent, we should not fi

And a great conflict having developed, the chief captain, having been alarmed lest Paul might be torn apart by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from the midst of them, and bring him into the fort.

And the following night the Lord, having stood by him, said, Cheer up, Paul, for as thou have testified these things about me at Jerusalem, so thou must testify also at Rome.

Now therefore ye with the council report to the chief captain that tomorrow he may bring him down to you, as though going to inquire more accurately the things about him. And we, before he comes near, are prepared to kill him.

And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this young man to the chief captain, for he has something to inform him.

Indeed therefore having taken him, he brought him to the chief captain, and says, Paul the prisoner, having called me, asked me to bring this young man to thee, who has something to say to thee.

And the chief captain having grasped his hand, and having gone in private, he asked him, What is it that thou have to inform me?

And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee that to tomorrow thou would bring Paul down to the council, as though going to inquire something more accurately about him.

Therefore thou should not be persuaded by them, for more than forty men of them wait to ambush him, who have put themselves under an oath, neither to eat nor drink until they have killed him. And now are they ready, expecting the p

And provide beasts, so that after mounting Paul, they may bring him safely to Felix the governor,

This man who was seized by the Jews, and was going to be killed by them, having stood by with the soldiers, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman.

And wanting to know for what reason they accused him, I brought him down to their council,

And when it was reported to me of a plot going to be against the man by the Jews, I immediately sent him to thee, also having commanded the accusers to speak before thee the things against him. Be strong.

Indeed therefore, the soldiers, according to that which was precisely arranged for them, having taken Paul, they brought him through the night to Antipatris.

But on the morrow they returned to the fort, having allowed the horsemen to depart with him,

who, after coming to Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.

he said, I will hear thee when thine accusers also will arrive. And he commanded him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.

And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Experiencing much peace because of thee, and worthy deeds happening to this nation because of thy foresight,

from whom thou will be able, having examined him, to learn about all these things of which we accuse him.

And when the governor gestured to him to speak, Paul answered, Knowing for many years thou being a judge to this nation, I gladly make a defense of these things about myself,

He also arranged for the centurion to guard Paul, and to have reduced confinement, and to forbid none of his own men to serve or to come to him.

And after some days, Felix having arrived with Drusilla, his wife being Jewish, he summoned Paul, and heard him about the faith in Christ.

He also hoped simultaneously that money would be given him by Paul so that he might free him. And so, summoning him more frequently, he conversed with him.

And the high priest and the principal men of the Jews appeared to him against Paul, and urged him,

asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to kill him on the way.

Therefore he says, Let the able men among you, after coming down together, accuse him if there is anything in this man.

about whom, when I became in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews revealed, asking judgment against him.

but had certain issues against him about his own religion, and about a certain Jesus, who has died, whom Paul was claiming to be alive.

But when Paul appealed to be kept for the decision of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept until I might send him to Caesar.

And Agrippa said to Festus, I also want to hear the man myself. And tomorrow, he says, thou will hear him.

But I, having understood him to have done nothing worthy of death, and also him, this man, having appealed Augustus I decided to send him.

About whom I do not have anything certain to write to the lord. Therefore I brought him before you, and especially before thee, king Agrippa, so that, an examination having occurred, I may have something to write.

For it seems to me unreasonable, sending a prisoner, and not to specify the causes against him.

For the king knows about these things, before whom I also speak boldly. For I am convinced not any of these things, nothing, to be hidden from him. For this was not done in a corner.

And on another day we put in at Sidon. And Julius, who treated Paul kindly, allowed him to undergo care, after going to his friends.

But they expected he was going to swell up, or suddenly fall down dead, but when they were long expecting, and seeing nothing amiss happening to him, thinking differently, they declared him to be a god.

And it came about for the father of Publius to be laid down, gripped by fever and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered in, and having prayed, having laid his hands on him, healed him.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the commandant, but Paul was allowed to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

And they said to him, We neither received letters from Judea about thee, nor did any of the brothers who came report or speak anything bad about thee.

And having appointed a day for him, more came to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded, solemnly testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them of the things about Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from m

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired lodging. And he received all who came in to him,

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both his eternal power and divinity, for them to be without excuse.

Because, although knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful, but became vain in their reasonings and their heart was darkened without understanding.

who changed the truth of God into the lie, and worshiped and served the creation against him who created it, who is blessed into the ages. Truly.

Because from works of law no flesh will be made right before him, for through law is knowledge of sin.

(in the forbearance of God), for proof of his justice at the present time, for him to be righteous, and who makes the man from Jesus' faith righteous.

For what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

But to the man not being employed, but who believes in him who makes the impious man righteous, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of his faith during uncircumcision, for him to be father of all those who believe during uncircumcision (for righteousness to also be imputed to them),

For the promise to Abraham or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, was not through law, but through a righteousness of faith.

(as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, of God who makes the dead alive, and who calls things not existing, as existing.

Who, against hope, believed in hope, in order for him to become father of many nations according to that which was spoken, So thy seed will be.

And therefore it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

Now it was not written because of him alone that it was imputed to him,

but also because of us to whom it is going to be imputed, to those who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

Much more then, now having been made righteous by his blood, we will be saved from the wrath through him.

We were buried therefore with him through the immersion into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may walk in newness of life.

Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, so that the body of sin might be inactivated, no longer to enslave us to sin.
