And the nations having rejoiced, honoured the word of the Lord: and they believed, as many as were drawn out for eternal life.

And the Jews urged on the worshipping and distinguished women, and the first men of the city, and they raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and they cast them out of their bounds,

And they, having shaken off the cloud of the dust of their feet against them, came into Iconium.

And it was in Iconium according to the same, went they into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude of the Jews and also of Greeks believed.

Therefore truly they remained a sufficient time speaking freely in the Lord, he testifying to the word of his grace, and giving signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

Being conscious, they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the country round about:

And there they were announcing the good news.

And truly they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, since he was leader of the word.

And saying these, they scarcely hindered the crowds, not to sacrifice to them.

And having announced that city the good news, and made disciples sufficient, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,

And having chosen them elders in the church, having prayed with fasting, they set them before the Lord, in whom they had believed.

And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

And having spoken the word in Perga, they came down to Attalia:

And thence they sailed away to Antioch, thence were they delivered by the grace of God to the work which they completed.

And having arrived, and gathered the church together, they announced what God did with them, and that he opened the door of faith to the nations.

And they tarried there not a little time with the disciples.

Therefore dissension and no small discussion having been to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas to go up, and certain others of them, to the sent and elders in Jerusalem about this question.

Truly therefore the sent by the church passed through Phenice and Samaria, relating the turning back of the nations: and they made great joy to all the brethren.

And having arrived at Jerusalem they were received by the church, and the sent and elders, and they announced what God did with them.

And certain of them from the sect of the Pharisees having believed, rose up, saying, That they must be circumcised, and to enjoin to keep the law of Moses.

But by grace of our Lord Jesus Christ we believe to be saved, as also they.

And after they were silent, James answered, saying, Men, brethren, hear me:

So that they remaining of men might seek out the Lord, and all the nations upon whom my name has been called upon them, says the Lord, making all these.

Truly therefore having been loosed, they came to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they gave up the epistle:

And having read, they rejoiced for the encouraging

And Judas and Silas, they also being prophets, through much speech consoled the brethren, and supported.

And having made time, they were loosed with peace from the brethren to the sent.

And after certain days said Paul to Barnabas, Now having turned back, let us review our brethren in every city in which we announced the word of the Lord, how they hold.

Therefore there was an incitement, so that they separated from one another: and Barnabas, having taken Mark, sailed to Cyprus;

And as they were going through the cities, they delivered them the orders to watch, having been determined by the sent and the elders in Jerusalem.

Having come to Mysia, they tried to go to Bithynia: and the Spirit suffered them not.

And having passed by Mysia they came down to Troas.

And her lords having seen that the hope of their gain went out, taking Paul and Silas, they drew to the assembly to the rulers,

And having brought them to the generals, they said, These the men who cause disturbance to our city, being Jews,

And they announce customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor do, being Romans.

And many blows having been put upon them, they cast into prison, having commanded the jailor to keep them safely:

And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

And they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all in his house.

But Paul said to them, Having stripped us publicly not condemned, being Roman men, they cast into prison and now do they cast us out secretly? not so; but having come themselves, let them bring us out.

:And the bearer of the rod announced these words to the generals: and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans.

And having come they besought them, and having brought out, they entreated to come out of the city.

And having come out of prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they encouraged them, and they came forth.

And having passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:

And the unbelieving Jews, having been jealous, and having taken certain evil men of the vulgar, and excited to tumult, they disturbed the city by loud noise, and having stood against the house of Jason, they sought to bring them to the populace.

And not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, That those having subverted the habitable globe, these also are present here;

And they troubled the crowd and rulers of the city, having heard these.

And having taken sufficient of Jason, and the rest, they loosed them.

And they were of more noble birth than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all willingness, and examined the writings daily, if these things might hold thus.

And when the Jews from Thessalonica heard that also in Berea the word of God was announced by Paul, they came there also, agitating the crowd.

And they conveying Paul brought him even to Athens: and having taken a command to Silas and Timothy that now they might come to him most speedily, they departed.

And having taken him, they brought upon Mars' hill, saying, Can we know what this new teaching is, spoken by thee?

To seek the Lord, if perchance indeed they have felt for him, and found, although not being far from each one of us:

And having heard of the rising up of the dead, they treated with mockery; and said, We will hear thee again concerning this.

And because being of the same trade, he remained with them, and wrought: for they were by trade tentmakers.

And they opposing, and blaspheming, having shaken off the garments violently, he said to them, Your blood upon your head; I clean: from now will I go to the nations.

And they asking to remain with them for more time, he acquiesced not;

He said to them, Having believed, have ye received the Holy Spirit? And they said to him, But neither heard we if there be a Holy Spirit.

And he said to them, Into what then were ye immersed? And they. said, Into John's immersion.

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

And they having heard, were immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus.

And Paul having laid hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came upon them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

And the man leaping upon them in whom the evil spirit was, and having overpowered them, he was strong against them, so that naked and wounded they fled out of the house.

And ye see and hear that not only Ephesus, but almost all Asia, this Paul having persuaded, changed a sufficient crowd, saying, that they are not gods made by hands:

And having heard, and been filled with wrath, they cried, saying, Great the Diana of the Ephesians.

And the whole city was filled With confusion, and they rushed unanimously into the theatre, having taken away together Gains and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's companions of the journey.

Others truly cried some other things: for the church was confused; and the most knew not for what they had come together.

And they forced Alexander out of the crowd, the Jews having put him forward. And Alexander having shaken the hand, wished to justify himself to the people.

And sufficient lights were in the upper room, where they were assembled.

And they brought the child living, and were not little comforted.

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

And much weeping was from all; and having fallen upon Paul's neck, they kissed him,

Grieving chiefly for the word which he spake, that they are about to see his face no more. And they sent him forward to the ship.

And the morrow, they about Paul having come out, came to Cesarea: and having come to Philip's house, bearer of good news, being of the seven, we remained with him.

And having come to us, and lifted up Paul's girdle, and bound his hands and feet, he said, Thus says the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle, shall the Jews so bind in Jerusalem, and they shall deliver him into the hands of the nations.

And they having heard, honoured the Lord, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many ten thousands of Jews there are having believed: and all are zealous of the law:

And they were taught about thee, that thou teachest apostasy from Moses, all the Jews among the nations, saying, they are not to circumcise children, nor walk in the customs.

What is it therefore? the multitude must all come together: for they will hear that thou hast come.

Having taken these, be purified with them, and expend upon them, that they might shave the head: and all might know that what they are taught about thee is nothing; but thou proceedest in regular order, also thyself watching the law.

(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian' whom they thought that Paul had brought into the temple.)

And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people: and having taken up Paul, they drew him out of the temple: and quickly the doors were shut.

Who having taken out of it the soldiers and centurions, he ran down to them: and they having seen the captain of a thousand and the soldiers, ceased striking Paul.

(And having heard that he spake to them in Hebrew dialect, they held more silence: and he says,)

As also the chief priest testifies of me, and all the council of elders: and whose letters to the brethren having received, I went to Damascus, going to bring there the bound to Jerusalem, that they might be punished.

And they being with me truly saw the light, and were terrified; but they heard not the voice of him speaking to me.

And saw him saying to me, Hasten, and come quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony of me.

And they heard him to this word, and lifted up their voices, saying, Take away such a one from the earth: for it is not suitable for him to live.

And they vociferating, and casting garments away, and throwing a cloud of dust into the air,

The captain of a thousand commanded him to be brought to the camp, having spoken to examine him by scourges; that he might know for what cause they exclaimed so against him.

Then quickly they about to examine him withdrew from him: and the captain of a thousand was afraid, knowing that he is a Roman, and because he had bound him.

And they standing by said, Revilest thou God's chief priest?

And it being day, certain of the Jews having made a condition, anathematized themselves, saying, neither to eat or drink till they kill Paul.

Therefore thou shouldest not be persuaded by them: for more than forty men of them lie in wait for him, who anathematized themselves, neither to eat or drink till they should kill him: and now are they prepared, expecting a promise from thee.

And having called two certain of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers, so that they go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred having held spears in the right hand, at the third hour of the night;

And to bring forward cattle to set Paul upon, that they might carry through safely to Felix the leader.

And wishing to know the cause for which they accused him, I brought him down to this council:

And the morrow; having suffered the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the camp:

Who having come into Cesarea and given up the letter to the leader, they also placed Paul before him.

And neither in the temple found they me discussing with any, or making a revolt of the crowd, neither in synagogues, nor in the city:

Nor can they bring me forward for things they now accuse me.

And this I confess to thee, that according to the way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things written in the law and the prophets:
