But when some were hardened, and would not believe, but spake reproachfully of the way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

So that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits came out of them.

And some of the vagabond Jews, who were exorcists, undertook to name the name of the Lord Jesus, over those who had evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.

And there were seven sons of one Sceva a Jewish chief priest, who did this.

After these things were ended, Paul purposed in spirit, having passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must see Rome also.

And hearing this, they were filled with rage, and cried out, saying, The great Diana of the Ephesians.

Some therefore cried one thing, and some another; for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know, for what they were come together.

And on the first day of the week, when we were met together to break bread, Paul being to depart on the morrow, preached to them, and continued his discourse till midnight.

And there were many lamps in the upper room where they were assembled.

And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

But we going before into the ship, sailed to Assos, where we were to take up Paul; for so he had appointed, being himself to go on foot.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend any time in Asia; for he hasted, if it were possible, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

And when they were come to him, he said to them, Ye know in what manner I have conversed among you, all the time from the first day I came into Asia,

Yea, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministred to my necessities, and to them that were with me.

And when we were torn away from them, and had set sail, we ran with a strait course to Coos, and the next day to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.

And he had four daughters, virgins, who were prophetesses.

And when we were come up to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

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

And when the seven days were about to be accomplished, the Jews that were from Asia seeing him in the temple,

And the whole city was moved, and the people ran together; and laying hold on Paul, they dragged him out of the temple: and immediately the gates were shut.

from whom also I received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them who were there to Jerusalem to be punished.

And they that were with me, saw the light, and were terrified; but they did not hear the voice of him that spake to me, And I said, What shall I do, Lord?

And as I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand by them that were with me, I came into Damascus.

And as they were binding him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a Roman, even uncondemned?

And Paul said, But I was free-born. Then they who were going to examine him, immediately departed from him: and the tribune was afraid, after he knew he was a Roman, because he had bound him.

But Paul perceiving, that the one part were Saducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; for the hope of the resurrection of the dead am I called in question.

And they were more than forty, who had made this confederacy.

And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.

And when he was come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem, stood round about him, bringing many and heavy accusations against Paul, which they were not able to prove:

When therefore they were come hither, I without any delay sat at the judgment seat the next day, and commanded the man to be brought forth.

And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come and Bernice with great pomp, and were entered into the place of audience, with the tribunes and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought forth.

Which also I did in Jerusalem: and having received authority from the chief priests, I shut up many of the saints in prisons, and when they were killed, I gave my vote against them.

And when we were all fallen down to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goads.

And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but likewise all that hear me, were this day both almost and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

And as they were going away, they spake one to another, saying, This man doth nothing worthy of death, or of bonds.

And setting sail from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were scarce come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone.

But the centurion regarded the master and the owner of the vessel, more than the things, which were spoken by Paul.

And running under a certain Island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get masters of the boat:

Which having taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they struck sail, and so were driven.

And as we were in an exceeding great storm, the next day they lightened the ship.

And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, the sailors suspected, that they drew nigh some land.

But when the sailors were attempting to flee out of the ship, and had let down the boat into the sea, under pretence that they were going to carry out anchors from the ship-head,

Then were they all incouraged, and they also took meat.

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

And when they were satisfied with food, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.

And when it was day, they did not know the land; but they observed a certain creek having a shore, into which they were minded, if possible, to thrust the ship:

came and were healed, Who likewise honoured us with many honours, and when we departed, put on board such things as were necessary.

Where finding brethren, we were intreated to tarry with them seven days, and so we went toward Rome.

And after three days, Paul called the chief of the Jews together. And when they were come together, he said to them, Brethren, though I have done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet have I been delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans:

Who having examined me, were willing to have released me, because there was no cause of death in me.

And some believed the things that were spoken, and some believed not.

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

And as they were not careful to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an undiscerning mind, to do things not expedient, Filled with all injustice, maliciousness, covetousness, wickedness:

Much every way; chiefly in that they were intrusted with the oracles of God.

I have made thee a father of many nations) before God in whom he believed, as quickning the dead, and calling the things that are not, as though they were:

For when we were yet without strength, in due time, Christ died for the ungodly.

But God recommendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more being reconciled, we shall be saved through his life.

For as by the disobedience of one man, many were constituted sinners, so by the obedience of one, many shall be constituted righteous.

But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were the servants of sin, ye have now obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine into which ye have been delivered.

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

For when we were in the flesh, sinful passions, which were by the law, wrought in our members, so as to bring forth fruit unto death.

But now we are freed from the law, that whereby we were held being dead, so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ, for my brethren, my kinsmen after the flesh:

As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.

Wherefore? Because they sought it, not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law: for they stumbled at that stumbling stone;

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh, but the election hath obtained, and the rest were blinded.

And if some of the branches were broken off, and thou being a wild olive wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the good olive,

Wilt thou say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in?

Well; they were broken off for unbelief, and thou standest by faith.

As then ye were once disobedient to God, but have now obtained mercy through their disobedience:

For whatsoever things were written aforetime, were written for our instruction, that we, through patience and consolation of the scriptures, may have hope.

my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are in repute among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? I thank God, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius:

I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it: nor are ye now able.

as if I were present, judged him who hath so done this, In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit,

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

But I say this by way of advice, not by way of precept. For I would that all men were even as myself:

For the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified by the wife; and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified by the husband. Else were your children unclean; but now they are holy.

But I have used none of these things; nor have I written thus, that it might be done so unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make this my glorying void.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud,

and all passed through the sea, And were all baptized unto Moses,

for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

Now these things were for our example, that we might not desire evil things, as they desired.

Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them, as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.

Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered, dishonoureth her head; for it is the same as if she were shaved.

Ye know that when ye were heathens, ye were carried away after dumb idols, as ye were led.

If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

And if all were one member, where were the body?

For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of the trouble which befell us in Asia, that we were exceedingly pressed, above our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye were obedient in all things.

But their understandings were blinded: and until this day the same veil remaineth unremoved on the reading of the old testament, which is taken away in Christ.

For the love of Christ constraineth us, while we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

Therefore we are embassadors for Christ, as though God were intreating by us: we beseech you, in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side: from without were fightings, from within were fears.

Therefore we were comforted in your comfort, and we rejoiced the more exceedingly in the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
