salute Andronicus and Junias my relations, and fellow-prisoners, who are distinguish'd among the apostles,

Epaphras my fellow-prisoner in the cause of Christ Jesus; Marcus,

Paul a prisoner for Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow-labourer,

but as it is customary with you to get me to discharge some prisoner at the time of the passover, would you have me release the king of the Jews?

as they continued there for some time, Festus represented Paul's case to the king: Felix, said he, had left here a certain prisoner:

for it seems to me absurd to send a prisoner without expressing the crimes laid to his charge."

three days after, Paul sent for the chief of the Jews: and when they were assembled, he said to them, "my brethren, tho' I have done nothing against the Jews, or against the customs of our fathers, I was made a prisoner at Jerusalem, and put into the hands of the Romans:

This it is that makes me Paul a prisoner for Jesus Christ upon your account, O Gentiles;

I therefore the prisoner for the Lord, beseech you to live suitably to the offers that have been made to you:

so that the whole court and publick are well appriz'd that I am a prisoner upon the account of Jesus Christ.

be not therefore asham'd of the testimony of the Lord, nor of me who am a prisoner upon his account. but share with me in the afflictions, which attend the gospel, supported as you are by the power of God,

I had rather apply to your benevolent temper, and desire you would regard the years of Paul, who am now also a prisoner for Jesus Christ,

Now it was customary at that feast for the governor to release a prisoner, such as the people should nominate.

Now during the feast, it was customary to release a prisoner, to be nominated by the people.

accordingly he discharg'd the prisoner they desired, him that was committed for riot and murder; but he abandon'd Jesus to their discretion.

we know that God commission'd Moses: as for this fellow, we don't know who sent him.

they answered, you were a vicious fellow from your very birth, and do you pretend to preach to us? and then they excommunicated him.

then said Thomas, that is, Didymus, to his fellow-disciples, let us also go, that we may die with him.

this fellow, said they, would persuade us to set up a way of worship inconsistent with our law.

Till that word, the Jews had given their attention, but then they broke out into a full cry, "out of the world with such a fellow: for it is not fit he should live."

this man is known to be a pernicious fellow that goes about the world to raise seditions among the Jews: he is the ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,

salute Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow-labourers in the gospel of Christ Jesus:

For we are fellow labourers employed by God: you are his field, and his mansion.

Therefore now, you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and domesticks of God's family,

however I thought it necessary to send you Epaphroditus my brother, my collegue in the ministry, and my fellow-soldier, whom you had sent to supply my wants:

which you heard was offer'd to you, by the instructions of Epaphras, our dear fellow-servant, who is to you a faithful minister of Christ:

to our beloved Appia, to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in your house, favour and peace be with you,

Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-labourers, salute you.

but this very servant presently after met with one of his fellow-servants, who owed him an hundred pence: and violently seizing him, said, pay me the debt.

and his fellow-servant fell at his feet, and embraced him, saying, allow me time, and I will pay thee all.

his fellow-servants upon seeing this were very much concern'd, and went to acquaint their master with what had pass'd.

should not you then have had the like compassion for thy fellow servant as I had for thee?

and white robes were given to every one of them, and it was said unto them, that they should have patience yet for a little while, till the number of their fellow-servants, and their brethren, that should be killed, as they were, should be complete.

and shall pretend to assault his fellow-servants, and spend his time with sots:

take then that worthless fellow, turn him out in the dark, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

and when he was going out at the porch, another maid saw him, and said to those that were by, this fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

but if the servant should say within himself, my master delays his return; and fall a beating his fellow-servants, indulging himself in eating and drinking to excess.

about an hour after another confidently affirm'd, saying, this fellow was certainly with him; for he too is a Galilean.
