And recognizing his whereabouts, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, called Mark; where many were assembled and praying.

But Peter remained knocking: and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished.

And there were prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch; Barnabas, and Symeon called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenean, and Manahem, the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

and in him every one believing is justified from all things from which ye were not able to be justified by the law of Moses.

And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the word spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

And the disciples were filled with joy, and the Holy Ghost.

And the multitude of the city was divided: and some indeed were with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

and they were calling Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, since he was the leader of the speech.

And certain ones having come down from Judea were teaching the brethren that, Unless you may be circumcised, according to the custom of Moses, you are not able to be saved.

And arriving into Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and the apostles, and the elders, and they proclaimed so many things as God did with them.

And the apostles and elders were convened to see about this problem.

Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

and having spent the time, they were discharged by the brethren with peace back to the apostles who sent them.

Paul wished him to go out with him; and having taken him circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places: for they all knew his father that he was a Greek.

And while they were traveling through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees which were adjudicated by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem, to keep.

Then the churches were indeed strengthened in faith, and abounded in number daily.

And having come opposite Mysia, they were endeavoring to go on into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them;

and thence into Philippi, which is the first city of the Macedonian region, a colony. And we were in that city spending some days.

And on the Sabbath day we went out from the gate by the river, where we were accustomed that prayer should be, and having sat down, we spoke to the women having assembled.

And when she and her household were baptized, she entreated us, saying, If you have found me to be faithful to the Lord, having come into my house, abide: and she constrained us.

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

And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, along with all who were in his house.

And taking them that hour of the night, he washed the blood from their stripes; and he and his were baptized immediately:

And the lictors proclaimed these words to the magistrates. And hearing that they are Romans, they were alarmed;

And certain ones of them were persuaded, and identified themselves with Paul and Silas, and of the pious Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

But the Jews giving away to jealousy, and receiving to themselves certain wicked men of those around the forum, and raising a mob, continued to put the city in an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they were seeking to lead them out to the people:

but these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all enthusiasm, searching the scriptures daily, if these things are so.

But all the Athenians and itinerant strangers were accustomed to devote their time to nothing else, than to tell something new, or to hear something.

and because they were of the same craft, abode with them, and they labored: for they were tentmakers by trade.

But Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

And Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were some injustice or wicked rascality, O Jews, I would bear with you according to reason:

And he said, Into what then were you baptized? And they said, Into the baptism of John.

And they, having heard, were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;

And they were all about twelve men.

But when some were becoming hardened and disbelieving, speaking evil of the way in the presence of the multitude, departing from them he separated his disciples, daily expounding in the school of Tyrannus.

so that napkins and aprons were carried from his body and placed on the sick, and diseases departed from them, and evil spirits went out of them.

And there were certain seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish high priest, doing this.

And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in spirit, having traveled through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on into Jerusalem, saying that, After I am there it behooves me also to see Rome.

and there were many lamps in the upper room, where we were assembled.

And they led up the boy alive, and were comforted exceedingly.

being especially grieved at the word which he had spoken, that they were about to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

And when they were extending him to the scourges, Paul said to the centurion standing by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?

And there were more than forty having made this plot:

And the Jews were consenting, saying, Truly these things are so.

in which they found me having been purified in the temple, not with rabble, nor with an uproar; and were certain Jews from Asia,

And he being present, the Jews having come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him charges many and heavy, which they were not able to prove.

And while they were spending many days there, Festus expounded to the king the matters appertaining to Paul, saying, A certain man has been left a prisoner by Felix:

Then having received help from God, I have stood unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said were about to come to pass:

And Paul said, I would to God, that both in little and in much, not only you, but also all of those hearing me this day, were such as I am, except these bonds.

and having gone away, they were talking to one another, saying, that This man is doing nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

And having embarked from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary:

And sailing slowly during many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not favoring us, we sailed under Crete, opposite Salmone;

and the ship having been seized, and being unable to resist the wind, having given away to it, we were borne along.

And running under a certain island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get possession of the boat:

which lifting up they used helps, under-girding the ship; and fearing lest they might fall into Syrtis, lowering the gear, they were thus carried along.

And we being tossed violently by the storm, they were successively making the casting out,

and fearing lest they may fall out against rough places, casting four anchors from the stern, they were praying that the day should come.

And we were two hundred and seventy-six souls in the ship.

but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, forbade them from their counsel; and commanded that those who were able to swim, having first thrown themselves overboard, to go to the land;

and they were looking for him to be about to swell up and suddenly fall down dead. But having looked a long time, and seeing nothing out of place come to him, changing their minds, they said that he was a god.

But in the regions around about that place there were farms belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius: who, having received us, entertained us courteously three days.

where having found brethren, we were entreated to remain with them seven days: and thus we came into Rome.

And it came to pass, after three days, he called together those who were first of the Jews; and they having assembled, he said to them, I, men, brethren, having done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, was committed a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans;

who judging me, were counseling to release me, because there was nothing worthy of death in me:

because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were they thankful; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Saying that they were wise, they became fools,

Much every way. For indeed, in the first place, the oracles of God were committed unto them.

For if Abraham were justified by works, he has glorification; but not before God.

For if the heirs were by the law, faith has been made void, and the promise vitiated.

for as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also by the obedience of one man shall many be made righteous.

Whether do you not know, that so many of us as were baptized unto Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death: in order that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so must we also walk in newness of life.

But thanks be unto God, that whereas ye were servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart the type of teaching into which ye were delivered:

For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

For when we were in carnality, the emotions of sins, which were through the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

But now we have been made free from the law, being dead in that in which we were held; so that we serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Why? Because they sought it not from faith, but as it were from works: they stumbled over the stone of stumbling,

What then? Israel did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:

And if certain ones of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive-tree are grafted in among them, and have become a partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive-tree;

Then you will say, The branches were broken off, that I may be grafted in.

Beautifully; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith, Think not high things, but fear.

For if you, having been cut off the olive tree which is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree: how much more shall these, who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

For as you at one time were disobedient to God, but now you have received mercy through their disobedience,

even also these were now disobedient, in order that through the mercy shown to you they themselves may now also obtain mercy.

For so many things as were previously written were written for our instruction, in order that through the patience and through the consolation of the scriptures we may have hope.

For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a certain contribution to the poor who are in Jerusalem.

For they were pleased to do so; and they are their debtors: for if the Gentiles participated in spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things.

Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsman and my fellow-soldiers, who are celebrated among the apostles, who were also in Christ before me.

Salute Philologus and Julius, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who were with them.

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

And my speech and my preaching were not in the persuasive words of wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and the power:

I have fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not yet able. But ye are not now yet able:

But some were inflated, as if I was not coming unto you.

And such were some of you: but you have washed, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God.

But I wish that all men were even as myself; but each one has his own gift from God, some one, and some another.

For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

But with many of them God is not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them were; as has been written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and arose up to play.

Neither let us tempt the Lord, as some of them tempted Him, and were destroyed by serpents.
