And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, 'Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'

and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord.

and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they a whole year did assemble together in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, the disciples also were divinely called first in Antioch Christians.

and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world -- which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar --

Then the disciples determined to send relief, every one according to his ability, to the brethren who dwelt in Judea: Which also they did,

Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.

And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

And going forth he followed him and did not know that what was happening by means of the angel was real, but supposed he saw a vision.

and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him.

And Peter having come to himself, said, 'Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews;'

and having recognised the voice of Peter, through joy did not open the entry, but running in, reported that Peter was standing before the entry.

and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command them to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he was abiding there.

And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he did not give the glory to God, and he expired, eaten of worms.

And the word of God did grow and did multiply,

and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with them John, who was surnamed Mark.

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire to hear the word of God,

then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

And those about Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, did turn back to Jerusalem,

the God of this people Israel did choose our fathers, and the people He did exalt in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm did He bring them out of it;

and about a period of forty years He did suffer their manners in the wilderness,

and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He did divide by lot to them their land.

and thereafter they asked for a king, and God did give to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

and having removed him, He did raise up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, he said, I found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who shall do all My will.

Of this one's seed God, according to promise, did raise to Israel a Saviour -- Jesus,

for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, this one not having known, also the voices of the prophets, which every sabbath are being read -- having judged him -- did fulfil,

and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain,

and when they did complete all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb;

But God raised him from the dead:

and he was seen for many days of those who did come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

that God has completely fulfilled this promise to our children by raising up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, ‘You are My Son; today I have begotten (fathered) You.’

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

for David, indeed, his own generation having served by the will of God, did fall asleep, and was added unto his fathers, and saw corruption,

But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.

‘Look, you mockers, and marvel, and perish and vanish away;
For I am doing a work in your days,
A work which you will never believe, even if someone describes it to you [telling you about it in detail].’”

and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes did follow Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.

and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul -- contradicting and speaking evil.

And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the Lord, and did believe -- as many as were appointed to life age-during;

And the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the first men of the city, and did raise persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and did put them out from their borders;

And it came to pass in Iconium, that they did enter together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spake, so that there believed both of Jews and Greeks a great multitude;

But the Jews who did not believe stirred up the minds of those of the nations and made them evil-affected against the brethren.

long time, indeed, therefore, did they abide speaking boldly in the Lord, who is testifying to the word of His grace, and granting signs and wonders to come to pass through their hands.

they having become aware, did flee to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about,

And there was a certain man sitting there in Lystra, impotent in his feet, being lame from the womb of his mother, who never did walk about.

and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, did lift up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, 'The gods, having become like men, did come down unto us;'

And the priest of the Zeus that is before their city, oxen and garlands unto the porches having brought, with the multitudes did wish to sacrifice,

and having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having rent their garments, did spring into the multitude, crying

who in the past generations did suffer all the nations to go on in their ways,

Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

and these things saying, scarcely did they restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.

and thence did sail to Antioch, whence they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled;

and having come and gathered together the assembly, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He did open to the nations a door of faith;

And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them;

Then arose there up certain of the sect of the Pharisees, which did believe: saying that it was needful to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, 'Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;

And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;

And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;

Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge,

They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the epistle,

and they having read, did rejoice for the consolation;

Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm,

Both Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch to teach and proclaim the word of the Lord, as did many others.

and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;

there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, did sail to Cyprus,

this one did Paul wish to go forth with him, and having taken him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father -- that he was a Greek.

And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;

having come down to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;

and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, was hearing, whose heart the Lord did open to attend to the things spoken by Paul;

and when she was baptized, and her household, she did call upon us, saying, 'If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, remain;' and she constrained us.

And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying,

And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

After giving them a severe beating, they threw them in jail and ordered the jailer to keep them under tight security.

who such a charge having received, did put them to the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks.

And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.

and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe them from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,

and Paul said to them, 'Having beaten us publicly uncondemned -- men, Romans being -- they did cast us to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.'

And went to the prison, and did their best to conciliate them. Then they took them out, and begged them to leave the city.

And Paul entered the synagogue, as was his custom, and for three Sabbaths he engaged in discussion and friendly debate with them from the Scriptures,

Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.

And certain of them did believe, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also of the worshipping Greeks a great multitude, of the principal women also not a few.

And [when they] did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brothers before the city officials, shouting, "These [people] who have stirred up trouble [throughout] the world have come here also,

many, indeed, therefore, of them did believe, and of the honourable Greek women and men not a few.

And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, 'What would this seed picker wish to say?' and others, 'Of strange demons he doth seem to be an announcer;' because Jesus and the rising again he did proclaim to them as good news,

'God, who did make the world, and all things in it, this One, of heaven and of earth being Lord, in temples made with hands doth not dwell,

to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and find, -- though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,

Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

and certain men having cleaved to him, did believe, among whom is also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name Damaris, and others with them.

and because of being of the same craft, he did remain with them, and was working, for they were tent-makers as to craft;

and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.

But when Gallio became Proconsul of Greece, the Jews with one accord made a dead set at Paul, and brought him before the court.

And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrong, or an evil deed to ye, reason would that I should hear you:

Then the people all set upon Sosthenes, the Warden of the synagogue, and beat him severely in front of the court. Gallio did not concern himself in the least about this.

and he came down to Ephesus, and did leave them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue did reason with the Jews:

And when they asked him that he would remain for a longer time with them he did not accede,

this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to them, and did more exactly expound to him the way of God,

and he being minded to go through into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, did help them much who have believed through the grace,
