And they having come from Perge, arrived into Picidian Antioch, and having come into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down. And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the chief rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men, brethren, if there is any word of consolation to the people in you, speak. And Paul, rising up, and beckoning with his hand said; Israelitish men, and those fearing God, hear. read more.
The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm led them out of it; and when he supported them about the time of forty years in the wilderness, and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the inheritance of the land about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, till Samuel the prophet. And then they asked for a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years; and having deposed him, he raised up to them David for a king; to whom witnessing he also said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who will do all my wishes. From whose seed according to the promise he led forth Jesus, the Savior, to Israel: and John having preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel, before the face of his coming. And when John fulfilled his course, he said, What do you consider me to be? I am not he: but, behold, there comes one after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose. Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, unto us the word of this salvation was sent. For those dwelling in Jerusalem, and the rulers, having rejected him, condemning him, have fulfilled the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath; and having found no cause of death, asked Pilate that he should be executed; and when they perfected all the things which had been written concerning him, taking him down from the cross, placed him in a sepulchre. And God raised him from the dead; who appeared to those coming up with him to Jerusalem from Galilee many days, who are now his witnesses to the people. And we preach unto you the promise, which was made to the fathers, that God has fulfilled this unto our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second Psalm it has been written, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. And because he raised him up from the dead, no longer about to return to corruption, He has thus said, I will give unto you the faithful mercies of David. Therefore He also says in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. For David, indeed having served his own generation according to the will of God, went to sleep, and did see corruption: but he, whom God raised up, did not see corruption. Then let it be known unto you, men brethren, that through this one remission of sins is preached: and in him every one believing is justified from all things from which ye were not able to be justified by the law of Moses. Then beware, lest the word which has been spoken by the prophets may come upon you; Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: because I work a work in your days, a work which you may not believe, though one may proclaim it to you. And they going out, they continued to entreat them that these words should be spoken to them on the next Sabbath. And the synagogue having been adjourned, many of the Jews and pious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking with them, continued to persuade them to abide in the grace of God. And on the following Sabbath almost all the city came together to hear the word of the Lord. And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the word spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. And Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly, said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: since you have rejected it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold we now turn to the Gentiles. For thus the Lord has commanded us, I have placed thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shalt be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth. And the Gentiles hearing, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and so many as had been ordained unto eternal life believed: and the word of the Lord was carried throughout all the country. And the Jews stirred up the noble godly women, and the first men of the city, and they raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders. And having cast off the dust from their feet against them, they came into Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy, and the Holy Ghost.

And after many days Paul said to Barnabas, Having returned let us now visit the brethren in every city in which we preached the word of the Lord, how they are doing. But Barnabas advised to take with them John, also called Mark. But Paul thought that he would not take with them, him who having departed from them from Pamphylia, and not having gone along with them into the work. read more.
But there was a paroxysm, so that they parted from one another, and Barnabas, taking Mark, sailed away into Cyprus. And Paul, having chosen Silas, went out, committed to the grace of the Lord by the brethren; and he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches. And he arrived into Derbe and Lystra. And, behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timothy, the son of a faithful Jewish woman, and a Greek father, who was of good report by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. Paul wished him to go out with him; and having taken him circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places: for they all knew his father that he was a Greek. And while they were traveling through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees which were adjudicated by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem, to keep. Then the churches were indeed strengthened in faith, and abounded in number daily. And they traveled through Phrygia and the Galatian country, being prohibited by the Holy Ghost from speaking the word in Asia. And having come opposite Mysia, they were endeavoring to go on into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them; and having come through Mysia they descended into Troas. And a vision was seen by Paul during the night: Some Macedonian man was standing and entreating him and saying, Having come over into Macedonia, help us. And when he saw the vision, we immediately sought to depart into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. And having embarked from Troas, we sailed directly to Samothrace, and on the following day into Neapolis, and thence into Philippi, which is the first city of the Macedonian region, a colony. And we were in that city spending some days. And on the Sabbath day we went out from the gate by the river, where we were accustomed that prayer should be, and having sat down, we spoke to the women having assembled. And a certain woman Lydia by name, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was hearing us: whose heart the Lord opened to give attention to the words spoken by Paul. And when she and her household were baptized, she entreated us, saying, If you have found me to be faithful to the Lord, having come into my house, abide: and she constrained us. And it came to pass, we going to the prayer, a certain damsel having a spirit of divination met us, who brought much gain to her masters telling fortunes. She, following Paul and us, continued to cry out, saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation. And she continued to do this many days. And Paul, being worn out, and turning round, said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out from her. And he came out the same hour. And her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, arresting Paul and Silas, dragged them into the forum to the rulers, and leading them to the magistrates, said, These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews, and they proclaimed customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, or to do, being Romans. And the crowd stood up together against them: and the magistrates tearing off their garments, commanded the lictors to beat them with rods. And having laid many stripes on them, they cast them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them safely: who, having received such a charge, cast them into the interior prison, and fastened their feet into the wood. But at midnight Paul and Silas, praying, continued to sing praises to God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all were loosed. And the jailer, being awakened, and seeing the doors of the prison open, seizing a sword, was about to kill himself, thinking that his prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are here. And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and being alarmed, he fell down before Paul and Silas, and leading them out said, Sirs, what does it behoove me to do in order that I may be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou and thy household shall be saved. And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, along with all who were in his house. And taking them that hour of the night, he washed the blood from their stripes; and he and his were baptized immediately: and leading them into his house, he set a table by them, and rejoiced throughout his house, having believed in God. But it being day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying, Send away these men. And the jailer proclaimed these words to Paul, The magistrates have sent word that you may be released: now therefore having gone out, depart in peace. But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, being Roman men, they cast us into prison, and now do they cast us out privately? for no; but having come themselves let them lead us out. And the lictors proclaimed these words to the magistrates. And hearing that they are Romans, they were alarmed; and having come they called for them, and leading them out, requested them to go away from their city. And having come out from the prison they came to Lydia, and seeing the brethren, comforted them, and departed. And having traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came into Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And according to custom to Paul, he came in unto them, and for three Sabbaths he expounded unto them from the scriptures, opening and proving, that it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is the Christ. And certain ones of them were persuaded, and identified themselves with Paul and Silas, and of the pious Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few. But the Jews giving away to jealousy, and receiving to themselves certain wicked men of those around the forum, and raising a mob, continued to put the city in an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they were seeking to lead them out to the people: but not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, roaring that, These who have turned the world upside down are also come hither; whom Jason has received: and all these are doing contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another King, Jesus. And they excited the rabble and the city rulers hearing these things; and having received satisfaction from Jason and the others they sent them away. But the brethren immediately sent away both Paul and Silas to Berea by night, who coming into the synagogue of the Jews departed; but these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all enthusiasm, searching the scriptures daily, if these things are so. Then indeed many of them believed, and of the noble Greek women and men, not a few; but when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was preached by Paul in Berea, they came thither also, agitating and stirring up the rabbles. But immediately at that time the brethren sent away Paul to travel even to the sea: and Silas and Timothy remained there. But having embarked Paul, they led him even to Athens: and receiving commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed from him. But Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, seeing the city devoted to idolatry. Then indeed he spoke to the Jews, and to the worshipers in the synagogue, and to those incidentally meeting him every day in the forum. And certain ones of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers interviewed him, and some continued to say, What would this babbler wish to say? and others said, He seems to be the propagator of strange divinities: because he was preaching the gospel of Jesus, and the resurrection. And taking him, they led him to the Areopagus, saying; Are we able to know what is this new teaching, spoken by thee? For you bring certain strange things to our hearing: therefore we desire to know what these things wish to be. But all the Athenians and itinerant strangers were accustomed to devote their time to nothing else, than to tell something new, or to hear something. And Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said, Athenian men, I perceive that in all things you are very religious. For going through, and seeing your devotions, I also found an altar on which it was superscribed, To THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore I now preach unto you Him whom you are ignorantly worshiping. God having made the world and all things which are in it, being himself Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; neither is he worshiped by human hands, as if needing something, Himself having given life, and breath, and all things to all; and of (one) man he created every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined their predestinated times, and the boundaries of their habitation; that they should seek God, if perhaps indeed they might feel after him, and find him, though not being far from each one of you. For in him we live and move and have our being, as indeed certain ones of your own poets have said, For we are truly his offspring. Then being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that divinity is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the invention of art and the device of man. Then indeed God winking at the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent: as He has appointed a day, in which he is about to judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; giving faith to all, having raised Him from the dead. And having heard the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: others said; We will hear thee concerning this even again. So Paul went out from their midst. But certain men, having adhered to him, believed; among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman Damarias by name, and others along with them. After these things having departed from Athens, he came to Corinth. And having found a certain Jew by name Aquila, a Pontic by race, having recently come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife; because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: he came to them: and because they were of the same craft, abode with them, and they labored: for they were tentmakers by trade. And he spoke in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks. And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was straitened with the word, witnessing to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. And they opposing, and blaspheming, shaking his garments, he said to them, Your blood be upon your own head; I am pure: from now I will go to the Gentiles. And having departed thence, he came into the house of a certain Titus, Justus by name, worshiping God, whose house is joined to the synagogue. But Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. And the Lord spoke to Paul in the night through a vision, Fear not, but speak, and be not silent: because I am with thee, and no man shall assault thee to hurt thee: because there is much people to me in this city. And he spent a year and six months teaching the word of God among them. But Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews of one accord arose up against Paul, and led him to the tribunal, saying, This one persuades men to worship God contrary to law. And Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were some injustice or wicked rascality, O Jews, I would bear with you according to reason: but if there are questions about the words and name, and law appertaining to you, yourselves shall see to it; I do not wish to be judge of these things. And he drove them away from the tribunal. And all taking Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, beat him before the tribunal; and nothing of these things was a care to Gallio. And Paul, still remaining some days, having bidden adieu to the brethren, sailed away to Syria, and along with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea; for he had a vow. And they arrived in Ephesus, and he left them there: and himself, having gone into the synagogue, spoke to the Jews. And they asking him to remain a longer time, he did not consent; but having bidden them adieu; and saying, I will return unto you again, God willing; he embarked from Ephesus; and having come into Caesarea, having gone up, and saluted the church, he came down to Antioch;
But there was a paroxysm, so that they parted from one another, and Barnabas, taking Mark, sailed away into Cyprus. And Paul, having chosen Silas, went out, committed to the grace of the Lord by the brethren; and he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches. And he arrived into Derbe and Lystra.

And Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were some injustice or wicked rascality, O Jews, I would bear with you according to reason: but if there are questions about the words and name, and law appertaining to you, yourselves shall see to it; I do not wish to be judge of these things. And he drove them away from the tribunal. And all taking Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, beat him before the tribunal; and nothing of these things was a care to Gallio. And Paul, still remaining some days, having bidden adieu to the brethren, sailed away to Syria, and along with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea; for he had a vow. And they arrived in Ephesus, and he left them there: and himself, having gone into the synagogue, spoke to the Jews. And they asking him to remain a longer time, he did not consent; but having bidden them adieu; and saying, I will return unto you again, God willing; he embarked from Ephesus; and having come into Caesarea, having gone up, and saluted the church, he came down to Antioch;
Paul » Visits amphipolis, apollonia, and thessalonica; preaches in the synagogue
And having traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came into Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And according to custom to Paul, he came in unto them, and for three Sabbaths he expounded unto them from the scriptures, opening and proving, that it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is the Christ. read more.

Paul's » First - with barnabas and john mark ac 13-14 » Second - with silas
And after many days Paul said to Barnabas, Having returned let us now visit the brethren in every city in which we preached the word of the Lord, how they are doing. But Barnabas advised to take with them John, also called Mark. But Paul thought that he would not take with them, him who having departed from them from Pamphylia, and not having gone along with them into the work. read more.
But there was a paroxysm, so that they parted from one another, and Barnabas, taking Mark, sailed away into Cyprus. And Paul, having chosen Silas, went out, committed to the grace of the Lord by the brethren; and he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches. And he arrived into Derbe and Lystra. And, behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timothy, the son of a faithful Jewish woman, and a Greek father, who was of good report by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. Paul wished him to go out with him; and having taken him circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places: for they all knew his father that he was a Greek. And while they were traveling through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees which were adjudicated by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem, to keep. Then the churches were indeed strengthened in faith, and abounded in number daily. And they traveled through Phrygia and the Galatian country, being prohibited by the Holy Ghost from speaking the word in Asia. And having come opposite Mysia, they were endeavoring to go on into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them; and having come through Mysia they descended into Troas. And a vision was seen by Paul during the night: Some Macedonian man was standing and entreating him and saying, Having come over into Macedonia, help us. And when he saw the vision, we immediately sought to depart into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. And having embarked from Troas, we sailed directly to Samothrace, and on the following day into Neapolis, and thence into Philippi, which is the first city of the Macedonian region, a colony. And we were in that city spending some days. And on the Sabbath day we went out from the gate by the river, where we were accustomed that prayer should be, and having sat down, we spoke to the women having assembled. And a certain woman Lydia by name, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was hearing us: whose heart the Lord opened to give attention to the words spoken by Paul. And when she and her household were baptized, she entreated us, saying, If you have found me to be faithful to the Lord, having come into my house, abide: and she constrained us. And it came to pass, we going to the prayer, a certain damsel having a spirit of divination met us, who brought much gain to her masters telling fortunes. She, following Paul and us, continued to cry out, saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation. And she continued to do this many days. And Paul, being worn out, and turning round, said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out from her. And he came out the same hour. And her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, arresting Paul and Silas, dragged them into the forum to the rulers, and leading them to the magistrates, said, These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews, and they proclaimed customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, or to do, being Romans. And the crowd stood up together against them: and the magistrates tearing off their garments, commanded the lictors to beat them with rods. And having laid many stripes on them, they cast them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them safely: who, having received such a charge, cast them into the interior prison, and fastened their feet into the wood. But at midnight Paul and Silas, praying, continued to sing praises to God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all were loosed. And the jailer, being awakened, and seeing the doors of the prison open, seizing a sword, was about to kill himself, thinking that his prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are here. And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and being alarmed, he fell down before Paul and Silas, and leading them out said, Sirs, what does it behoove me to do in order that I may be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou and thy household shall be saved. And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, along with all who were in his house. And taking them that hour of the night, he washed the blood from their stripes; and he and his were baptized immediately: and leading them into his house, he set a table by them, and rejoiced throughout his house, having believed in God. But it being day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying, Send away these men. And the jailer proclaimed these words to Paul, The magistrates have sent word that you may be released: now therefore having gone out, depart in peace. But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, being Roman men, they cast us into prison, and now do they cast us out privately? for no; but having come themselves let them lead us out. And the lictors proclaimed these words to the magistrates. And hearing that they are Romans, they were alarmed; and having come they called for them, and leading them out, requested them to go away from their city. And having come out from the prison they came to Lydia, and seeing the brethren, comforted them, and departed. And having traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came into Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And according to custom to Paul, he came in unto them, and for three Sabbaths he expounded unto them from the scriptures, opening and proving, that it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is the Christ. And certain ones of them were persuaded, and identified themselves with Paul and Silas, and of the pious Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few. But the Jews giving away to jealousy, and receiving to themselves certain wicked men of those around the forum, and raising a mob, continued to put the city in an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they were seeking to lead them out to the people: but not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, roaring that, These who have turned the world upside down are also come hither; whom Jason has received: and all these are doing contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another King, Jesus. And they excited the rabble and the city rulers hearing these things; and having received satisfaction from Jason and the others they sent them away. But the brethren immediately sent away both Paul and Silas to Berea by night, who coming into the synagogue of the Jews departed; but these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all enthusiasm, searching the scriptures daily, if these things are so. Then indeed many of them believed, and of the noble Greek women and men, not a few; but when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was preached by Paul in Berea, they came thither also, agitating and stirring up the rabbles. But immediately at that time the brethren sent away Paul to travel even to the sea: and Silas and Timothy remained there. But having embarked Paul, they led him even to Athens: and receiving commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed from him. But Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, seeing the city devoted to idolatry. Then indeed he spoke to the Jews, and to the worshipers in the synagogue, and to those incidentally meeting him every day in the forum. And certain ones of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers interviewed him, and some continued to say, What would this babbler wish to say? and others said, He seems to be the propagator of strange divinities: because he was preaching the gospel of Jesus, and the resurrection. And taking him, they led him to the Areopagus, saying; Are we able to know what is this new teaching, spoken by thee? For you bring certain strange things to our hearing: therefore we desire to know what these things wish to be. But all the Athenians and itinerant strangers were accustomed to devote their time to nothing else, than to tell something new, or to hear something. And Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said, Athenian men, I perceive that in all things you are very religious. For going through, and seeing your devotions, I also found an altar on which it was superscribed, To THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore I now preach unto you Him whom you are ignorantly worshiping. God having made the world and all things which are in it, being himself Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; neither is he worshiped by human hands, as if needing something, Himself having given life, and breath, and all things to all; and of (one) man he created every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined their predestinated times, and the boundaries of their habitation; that they should seek God, if perhaps indeed they might feel after him, and find him, though not being far from each one of you. For in him we live and move and have our being, as indeed certain ones of your own poets have said, For we are truly his offspring. Then being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that divinity is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the invention of art and the device of man. Then indeed God winking at the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent: as He has appointed a day, in which he is about to judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; giving faith to all, having raised Him from the dead. And having heard the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: others said; We will hear thee concerning this even again. So Paul went out from their midst. But certain men, having adhered to him, believed; among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman Damarias by name, and others along with them. After these things having departed from Athens, he came to Corinth. And having found a certain Jew by name Aquila, a Pontic by race, having recently come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife; because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: he came to them: and because they were of the same craft, abode with them, and they labored: for they were tentmakers by trade. And he spoke in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks. And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was straitened with the word, witnessing to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. And they opposing, and blaspheming, shaking his garments, he said to them, Your blood be upon your own head; I am pure: from now I will go to the Gentiles. And having departed thence, he came into the house of a certain Titus, Justus by name, worshiping God, whose house is joined to the synagogue. But Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. And the Lord spoke to Paul in the night through a vision, Fear not, but speak, and be not silent: because I am with thee, and no man shall assault thee to hurt thee: because there is much people to me in this city. And he spent a year and six months teaching the word of God among them. But Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews of one accord arose up against Paul, and led him to the tribunal, saying, This one persuades men to worship God contrary to law. And Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were some injustice or wicked rascality, O Jews, I would bear with you according to reason: but if there are questions about the words and name, and law appertaining to you, yourselves shall see to it; I do not wish to be judge of these things.
