Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. However, they didn't see him."

Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the man in charge of the banquet." So they did.

After this, Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside. He spent some time there with them and began baptizing.

But there are some among you who don't believe..." - because Jesus knew from the beginning those who weren't believing, as well as the one who would betray him.

And there was a great deal of discussion about him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He is a good man," while others were saying, "No, he is deceiving the crowds!"

Then some of the people of Jerusalem began saying, "This is the man they are trying to kill, isn't it?

When they heard these words, some in the crowd were saying, "This really is the Prophet,"

But some were saying, "The Messiah doesn't come from Galilee, does he? Doesn't the Scripture say that the Messiah is from David's family and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?"

Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid hands on him.

Some were saying, "It's him," while others were saying, "No, but it's someone like him." But he himself kept saying, "It's me!"

He said, "The man named Jesus made some mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, "Go to Siloam and wash.' So off I went and washed, and I received my sight."

Some of the Pharisees began to remark, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a sinful man perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

Some of the Pharisees who were near him overheard this and asked him, "We aren't blind, too, are we?"

"Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the person who doesn't enter the sheepfold through the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a bandit.

But some of them said, "Surely the one who opened the eyes of the blind man could have kept this man from dying, couldn't he?"

Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

Now some Greeks were among those who had come up to worship at the festival.

Yet many people, even some of the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not admit it so they would not be thrown out of the synagogue.

Then he poured some water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel that was tied around his waist.

Some thought that, since Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the destitute.

At this point, some of his disciples asked each other, "What does he mean by telling us, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again,' and, "because I am going to the Father'?"

So Judas took a detachment of soldiers and some officers from the high priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

Meanwhile, Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Some people asked him, "You aren't one of his disciples, too, are you?" He denied it by saying, "I am not!"

The soldiers twisted some thorns into a victor's crown, put it on his head, and threw a purple robe on him.

He told them, "Throw the net on the right hand side of the boat, and you'll catch some." So they threw it out and were unable to haul it in because it was so full of fish.

When they arrived at the shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish lying on it, and some bread.

Jesus told them, "Bring me some of the fish you've just caught."

But then a man named Ananias, with the consent of his wife Sapphira, sold some property.

With his wife's full knowledge, he kept back some of the money for himself and brought the remainder and laid it at the apostles' feet.

Peter asked, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart so that you should lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back some of the money you got for the land?

As a result, people kept carrying their sick into the streets and placing them on stretchers and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he went by.

But some men who belonged to the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), as well as some Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and men from Cilicia and Asia, stood up and began to debate with Stephen.

So they secretly got some men to say, "We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God."

The next day, he presented himself to some of them while they were fighting and tried to reconcile them. He said, "Men, you are brothers. Why should you be hurting another?'

As they were going along the road, they came to some water. The eunuch said, "Look, there's some water. What keeps me from being baptized?"

He got up and was baptized, and after eating some food, he felt strong again. For several days he stayed with the disciples in Damascus.

So Peter welcomed them as his guests. The next day, he got up and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went along with him.

But among them were some men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and began proclaiming the Lord Jesus even to the Hellenistic Jews.

At that time some prophets from Jerusalem came down to Antioch.

About that time, Herod arrested some people who belonged to the church and mistreated them.

But the people of the city were divided. Some were with the Jews, while others were with the apostles.

But some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds by persuasion. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, thinking he was dead.

Then some men came down from Judea and started to teach the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised according to the Law of Moses, you can't be saved."

Paul and Barnabas had quite a dispute and argument with them. So Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to confer with the apostles and elders about this question.

But some believers from the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, "The gentiles must be circumcised and ordered to keep the Law of Moses."

Then the apostles, the elders, and the whole church decided to choose some of their men to send with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch. These were Judas, who was called Barsabbas, and Silas, who were leaders among the brothers.

Greetings. We have heard that some men, coming from us without instructions from us, have said things to trouble you and have unsettled you.

After staying there for some time, they were sent back with a greeting from the brothers to those who had sent them.

Some of them were persuaded and began to be associated with Paul and Silas, especially a large crowd of devout Greeks and the wives of many prominent men.

But the Jewish leaders became jealous, and they took some contemptible characters who used to hang out in the public square, formed a mob, and started a riot in the city. They attacked Jason's home and searched it for Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the people.

When they didn't find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials and shouted, "These fellows who have turned the world upside down have come here, too,

Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also debated with him. Some asked, "What is this blabbermouth trying to say?" while others said, "He seems to be preaching about foreign gods." This was because Paul was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.

For we live, move, and exist because of him, as some of your own poets have said: ""Since we are his children, too.'

When they heard about a resurrection of the dead, some began joking about it, while others said, "We will hear you again about this."

Some men joined him and became believers. With them were Dionysius, who was a member of the Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and some others along with them.

Paul was about to speak when Gallio admonished the Jewish leaders, "If there were some misdemeanor or crime involved, it would be reasonable to put up with you Jews.

After spending some time there, he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

But when some people became stubborn, refused to believe, and slandered the Way in front of the people, Paul left them, taking his disciples away with him, and held daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.

Then some Jews who went around trying to drive out demons attempted to use the name of the Lord Jesus on those who had evil spirits, saying, "I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches!"

Even some officials of the province of Asia who were his friends sent him a message urging him not to risk his life in the theater.

Meanwhile, some were shouting one thing and some another, since the crowd was confused, and most of them didn't know why they were meeting.

Some of the crowd concluded it was because of Alexander, since the Jews had pushed him to the front. So Alexander motioned for silence and tried to make a defense before the people.

Indeed, some of your own men will arise and distort the truth in order to lure the disciples into following them.

So we located some disciples and stayed there for seven days. Through the Spirit, they kept telling Paul not to go to Jerusalem,

Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us. They took us to the home of Mnason to be his guests. He was from Cyprus and had been an early disciple.

Immediately the tribune took some soldiers and officers and ran down to the crowd. When the people saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

Some of the crowd shouted this and some that. Since the tribune couldn't learn the facts due to the confusion, he ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks.

The tribune asked, "Oh, do you speak Greek? You're not the Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led 4,000 assassins into the desert, are you?"

When Paul saw that some of them were Sadducees and others were Pharisees, he shouted in the Council, "Brothers, I'm a Pharisee and a descendant of Pharisees. I'm on trial concerning the hope that the dead will be resurrected."

There was a great deal of shouting until some of the scribes who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and argued forcefully, "We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"

But some Jews from Asia were there, and they should be here before you to accuse me if they have anything against me.

He ordered the centurion to guard Paul but to let him have some freedom and not to keep any of his friends from caring for his needs.

Some days later, Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him talk about faith in Jesus the Messiah.

When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were transferred to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the emperor's division.

However, we will have to run aground on some island."

After he said this, he took some bread, thanked God in front of everyone, broke it, and began to eat.

The rest were to follow, some on planks and others on various pieces of the ship. In this way everyone got to shore safely.

There we found some brothers and were invited to stay with them for seven days. After this, we arrived in Rome.

From morning until evening, he continued to explain the kingdom of God to them, trying to convince them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets. Some of them were convinced by what he said, but others wouldn't believe.

For I am longing to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong,

What if some of the Jews were unfaithful? Their unfaithfulness cannot cancel God's faithfulness, can it?

Or can we say as some people slander us by claiming that we say "Let's do evil that good may result"? They deserve to be condemned!

It is just as Isaiah predicted: "If the Lord of the Heavenly Armies had not left us some descendants, we would have become like Sodom and would have been compared to Gomorrah."

in the hope that I can make my people jealous and save some of them.

Now if some of the branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive branch, have been grafted in their place to share the rich root of the olive tree,

However, on some points I have written to you rather boldly, both as a reminder to you and because of the grace given me by God

My brothers, some members of Chloe's family have made it clear to me that there are quarrels among you.

Some of you have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to evaluate you.

That is what some of you were! But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah and by the Spirit of our God.

But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are so accustomed to idolatry that when they eat food that has been offered to an idol, their conscience becomes contaminated because it is weak.

To the weak I became weak in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some of them.

Let's stop being idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to play."

Let's stop sinning sexually, as some of them were doing, and on a single day 23,000 fell dead.

Let's stop putting the Lord to the test, as some of them were doing, and were destroyed by snakes.

You must stop complaining, as some of them were doing, and were annihilated by the destroyer.

Indeed, brothers, if I come to you speaking in foreign languages, what good will I be to you unless I speak to you in some revelation, knowledge, prophecy, or teaching?

After that, he was seen by more than 500 brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.

Now if we preach that the Messiah has been raised from the dead, how can some of you keep claiming there is no resurrection of the dead?

Come back to your senses as you should, and stop sinning! For some of you I say this to your shame don't fully know God.

But if anyone has caused grief, he didn't cause me any grief. To some extent I don't want to emphasize this too much it has affected all of you.
