But Saul, [called] also Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looking steadily at him

And those with Paul, sailing from Paphos, went to Perga in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

And Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you that fear God, hear.

And the congregation being dismissed, many of the Jews and pious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who gave them additional instructions, and persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

And the Jews seeing the multitudes were filled with envy, and contradicted the things said by Paul, disputing and blaspheming.

And both Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but since you cast it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the gentiles.

But the Jews excited the pious and honorable women, and the first men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out from their limits.

This man heard Paul speaking, who, looking steadily at him and seeing that he had faith to be cured,

And the multitude seeing what Paul did, lifted up their voice in the language of Lycaonia, saying, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men;

and they called Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, because he was a master of eloquence.

But the apostles Barnabas and Paul hearing of it, rending their clothes ran among the multitude, crying

But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

There being therefore no little dissension and disputation of Paul and Barnabas with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to the apostles and elders at Jerusalem, concerning this question.

And all the multitude was silent, and heard Barnabas and Paul relate what miracles and prodigies God performed among the gentiles through them.

Then it seemed good to the apostles and elders, with all the assembly [the church], to send delegates from themselves to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers,

it seemed good to us, being of one opinion, to send delegates to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, teaching and preaching with many others the word of the Lord.

AND after some days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return and visit the brothers in every city in which we preached the word of the Lord, [and see] how they do.

but Paul thought not best to take with them one who deserted them at Pamphylia and did not go with them to the work.

But Paul choosing Silas went out, commended to the favor of the Lord by the brothers.

Him Paul wished to have go with him; and he took and circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places; for all knew that his father was a Greek.

And a vision appeared by night to Paul; a certain man of Macedonia standing, asking him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.

And a certain woman by the name of Lydia, a dealer in purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard, whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the [words] spoken by Paul.

She following Paul and us, cried, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us the way of salvation;

and this she did for many days. And Paul being grieved turned around and said to the spirit, I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out of her in that hour.

And her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, seizing Paul and Silas dragged them to the market, to the rulers,

But at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sung praises to God, and the prisoners heard them.

But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.

And asking for a light he sprang in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,

And the jailer told these words to Paul; The prefects have sent to let you go; now, therefore, go, and depart in peace.

But Paul said to him, They have beaten us publicly uncondemned, being Romans, and cast us into prison; and now do they privately cast us out? No, indeed: but let them come themselves and conduct us out.

And according to his custom Paul went in to them, and reasoned with them three sabbaths from the Scriptures,

And some of them believed and adhered to Paul and Silas; of the pious Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

And the brothers immediately, by night, sent away Paul and Silas to Berea; and when they came they went into the synagogue of the Jews;

And when the Jews in Thessalonica knew that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there exciting the multitudes.

Then the brothers immediately sent Paul away, as if to go by sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.

And those conducting Paul brought him to Athens, and receiving a charge to Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.

And while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was moved within him as he saw the city wholly devoted to idolatry.

And Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus said, Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are extremely devoted to the worship of demons.

So Paul went out from the midst of them;

AND after this Paul left Athens and came to Corinth.

And when Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul gave himself wholly to preaching the word, testifying to the Jews Christ Jesus.

And the Lord said to Paul, in a vision by night, Fear not, but speak and be not silent,

And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose with one consent against Paul and brought him to the tribunal,

And when Paul was about to open his mouth Gallio said to the Jews, If there was any injustice or evil imposition, O Jews, I would bear with you in a reasonable manner;

And Paul having remained yet many days took leave of the brothers, and sailed to Syria; and Priscilla was with him, and Aquila, having shaved his head at Cenchrea; for he had a vow.

And when Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, passing through the higher portions of the country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples;

Paul said, John indeed baptized [administered] the baptism of a change of mind, telling the people to believe on him that was to come after him, that is, on Jesus.

and Paul putting his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

And God performed unusual miracles by the hands of Paul,

And some of the travelling Jewish exorcists undertook to call over those that had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.

But the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?

And when these things were accomplished, Paul was disposed by the Spirit, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome.

and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but in almost all Asia, this Paul has led away a great multitude by persuasion, saying that things which are made by hands are not gods.

And the whole city was full of confusion; and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, taking Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow travellers of Paul.

And Paul wishing to go in to the people, the disciples did not permit him;

AFTER the tumult was allayed, Paul calling the disciples and embracing them departed to go into Macedonia.

And on the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul preached to them, being about to depart on the next day, and continued his discourse till midnight;

And a young man by the name of Eutychus sitting in a window, falling into a deep sleep while Paul preached long, and being overcome by sleep, fell from the third story down, and was taken up dead.

But Paul going down fell on him, and embracing him, said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

And we going before by ship sailed to Assos, being about to take in Paul at that place; for so had he appointed, being about to go on foot himself.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that it might not be necessary for him to spend a long time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem at the day of Pentecost.

And they all wept much, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,

And finding the disciples we continued there seven days; and they told Paul, by the Spirit, not to go on to Jerusalem.

and coming to us, and taking Paul's girdle, and binding his hands and feet, he said, These things, says the Holy Spirit; Thus will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle, and deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.

But Paul answered, What do you do, to weep and break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.

And on the following day Paul went with us to James, and all the elders were present.

Then Paul taking the men, on the following day being purified with them went into the temple, announcing the completion of the days of purification till an offering should be offered for each one of them.

For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

And all the city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people, and taking hold of Paul they dragged him without the temple, and immediately the gates were shut.

who immediately taking soldiers and centurions ran down upon them; and seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers, they ceased beating Paul.

And being about to be carried into the fortress, Paul said to the chiliarch, May I have permission to speak to you? And he said, Do you understand Greek?

And Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of a not undistinguished city, I beg of you, permit me to speak to the people.

And he giving him permission, Paul stood up on the steps, and motioned with his hand to the people; and when there was great silence, he spoke in the Hebrew language, and said,

And the chiliarch answered, I acquired this citizenship for a great price. But Paul said, I am indeed, and was also born [one].

AND on the next day, wishing to know the truth in respect to what he was accused of by the Jews, [the chiliarch] released him, and commanded the chief priests and all the Sanhedrim to come together; and bringing Paul down he set him before them.

And Paul looking steadily at the Sanhedrim, said, Men and brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience to this day.

Then Paul said to him, God is about to strike you, whitewashed wall; and do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?

And Paul said, I knew not brothers that he was a chief priest; for it is written, You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people.

And Paul knowing that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, cried in the Sanhedrim, Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee and the son of Pharisees; for the hope and resurrection of the dead am I under trial.

And there being a great dissension, the chiliarch, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the troops to come down and take him by force from the midst of them, and conduct him to the fortress.

And when it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves by an oath, saying that they would not eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

who came to the chief priests and elders and said, We have bound ourselves under a curse to taste nothing till we kill Paul.

But a son of Paul's sister hearing of this lying in wait, went and entering into the fortress told Paul.

And Paul calling one of the centurions, said, Lead this young man to the chiliarch, for he has something to tell him.

He therefore took him and led him to the chiliarch, and said, Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to lead this young man to you, who has something to tell you.

And he said, The Jews have entered into a compact to ask you to bring down Paul to the Sanhedrim to-morrow, as if about to learn more accurately of something concerning him.

And provide animals to put Paul on, and take him safely to Felix the procurator.

The soldiers therefore took Paul as they were commanded and brought him by night to Antipatris,

And when they came to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the procurator, they also presented Paul to him.

AND after five days the chief priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator, Tertullus, went down and gave information to the procurator against Paul.

And the procurator making a sign to him to speak, Paul answered, Knowing that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I shall defend myself cheerfully,

and he commanded the centurion that Paul should be kept, and be freed from bonds, and that he should forbid none of his friends to serve him.

And after some days Felix coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

At the same time also he hoped that money would be given him by Paul; and on this account sent for him the oftener, and conversed with him.

But after two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and wishing to gratify the Jews, Felix left Paul bound.

And the chief priests and the first men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,

Then Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he would go down there shortly;

And staying with them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day, sitting on the tribunal, commanded Paul to be brought.

while Paul maintained in his defense, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I done any wrong.
