And Paul having risen, and shaken with the hand, said, Men, Israelites, and ye fearing God, hear ye. God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in sojourning the land of Egypt, and with high arm brought them out of it. And about forty years time he bare them in the desert. read more.
And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he gave them to inherit this land by lot. And after these, about four hundred and fifty years he gave judges, even to Samuel the prophet. And thence they desired a king; and God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years. And having removed him, he raised up to them David for king; to whom also having testified, he said, I found David of Jesse, a man according to my heart, who shall do all my desires. From the seed of this has God according to promise raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus: John having proclaimed before the face of his coming the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel. And as John completed the course, be said, Whom think ye me to be? I am not. But, behold, he comes after me, whose shoes of the feet I am not worthy to loose. Men, brethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent. For they dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, and the voices of the prophets which being read in every sabbath, having judged, they filled up. And having found no cause of death, they desired Pilate to have him slain. And when they finished all things written concerning him, having taken down from the wood, they put in a tomb. And God raised him from the dead: Who was seen for many days to them having come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people. And we announce good news to you, the promise made to our fathers, For this has God completed to us, their children, having raised up Jesus; as it has also been written in the second Psalms, Thou art my Son; to day have I begotten thee. And that he raised him from the dead, no more about to return to corruption, so he said, That I will give you the holy, faithful things of David. For also in another, he says, Thou shalt not give thy Holy one to see corruption. For David, truly having served his own generation by the will of God, was set to sleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption: But whom God raised up, he saw no corruption. Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that for him remission of sins is announced to you. And from all which ye could not be justified by Moses' law, every one believing in him is justified. See ye, therefore, that that spoken by the prophets come not upon you. See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, which ye would not believe if any recount to you. And the Jews having gone out of the synagogue, the nations besought to have these words spoken in the sabbath between. And the synagogue having been dissolved, many of the Jews and strangers worshipping, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to remain in the grace of God.

Then after three years I came up to Jerusalem to examine Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. And other of the sect I saw not, except James the Lord's brother.
Paul » Has "a thorn in the flesh,"
And lest I be lifted up by the eminence of Revelation, a thorn in the flesh was given me, a messenger of Satan, that he might cuff me, lest I be lifted up. For this thrice besought I the Lord, that it remove away from me. And he said to me, My grace suffices thee: for my power is perfected in weakness. Therefore very willingly will I boast rather in my weaknesses, that Christ's power may lodge upon me.
And ye know that through weakness of the flesh I announced the good news to you before. And my temptation in my flesh, ye counted not as nothing, nor spurned; but as an angel of God ye received me, as Christ Jesus.

Indeed it is not profitable to me to boast. For I will come to visions and Revelation of the Lord.

And certain days having intervined, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Cesarea, having saluted Festus. And as they tarried there many days, Festus set up to the king the things of Paul, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix: About whom, I being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews exhibited, asking judgment against him. read more.
To whom I answered, That it is not the custom to Romans to yield up any man to destruction, before that the accused may have the accusers before the face, and take place for defence for the accusation. Therefore, they having come here together, having made no delay, in order having sat upon the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought. About whom the accusers, having stood up, brought no charge of what I supposed: But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of a certain Jesus, having died, whom Paul declared living. And I doubting at the question concerting this, said, If he be willing to go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things. And Paul having appealed for him to be kept for the determination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I send him to Caesar. And Agrippa said to Festus, I wished myself also to hear the man. And he said, Tomorrow thou shalt hear him. Therefore the morrow, Agrippa having come, and Bernice, with much display, and having come into the hall, also with captains of thousands, and men of the city being in eminence, and Festus having commanded, Paul was brought. And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men being present with us, ye behold this, of whom all the multitude of Jews addressed me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out he must no more live. And I discovering nothing he has done worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Augustus, I judged to send him. Of whom I have not anything certain to write to the lord. Wherefore I brought him to you, and especially to thee, king Agrippa, so that, examination having been, I should have some thing to write. For it seems to me unreasonable sending one in bonds, and not to signify the charges against him.

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. Therefore do this which we say to thee: Four men are to us having a vow upon them; 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. And of the nations having believed, we have written having judged them to keep nothing such, except to watch themselves from that sacrificed to idols, and blood, and strangulation, and harlotry.

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. And Barnabas purposed to take with them John, called Mark. But Paul deemed worthy, having withdrawn from them from Pamphylia, and not having come with them to the work, not to take him with them. read more.
Therefore there was an incitement, so that they separated from one another: and Barnabas, having taken Mark, sailed to Cyprus; And Paul, having chosen Silas, went forth, having been delivered to the grace of God by the brethren. And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, supporting the churches.

And the brethren quickly sent out both Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who arriving went away to the synagogue of the Jews. 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. Therefore truly many of them believed; and of the distinguished Grecian women, and of men, not few.

And it was we going for prayer, a certain young girl having the spirit of Python met us, who furnished much gain to her lords, prophesying: She having followed Paul and us, cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who announce to us the way of salvation. And this did she for many days. And Paul, having been exercised, and having turned back to the spirit, said, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
Paul » Enters the temple » courtyard; the people are stirred up against him by some jews from asia; an uproar is created; he is thrust out of the temple area; the commander of the roman garrison intervenes and arrests him
Then Paul having taken the men, in the following day having been purified with them, went into the temple, announcing the completion of the days of purification, till an offering be brought for each one of them. And when the seven days were about completed, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, embroiled all the crowd, and put hands upon them, Crying out, Men, Israelites, help: This is the man, teaching all, everywhere, against the people, and the law, and this place: and yet also brought the Greeks into the temple, and has polluted this holy place. read more.
(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. And seeking to kill him, a rumor went up to the captain of a thousand of the band, that the whole of Jerusalem had been embroiled. 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. Then the captain of a thousand, having drawn near, took him, and commanded to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he might be, and what he had done.

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. read more.
And the crowd set together against them: and the generals having rent their garments, commanded to scourge with rods. And many blows having been put upon them, they cast into prison, having commanded the jailor to keep them safely: Who, having received such an order, cast them into the inner prison, and placed their feet firmly in wood. And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, praised God: and the imprisoned heard them. And suddenly was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all were let loose. And the jailor being awakened, and having seen the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the imprisoned to have fled. And Paul called with a great voice, saying, Thou shouldest do no injury to thyself; for we are all here. And having asked for a light, he rushed in, and being trembling, fell before Paul and Silas, And bringing them out, he said, Lords, what must I do that I might be saved 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. And having taken them in that hour of the night, he washed out the blows; and was immersed, he and all his, immediately. And having brought them up to his house, he set a table before, and rejoiced with the entire household, having believed God.

Paul » Debates » Mar's hill
And Paul waiting for them among the Athenians, his spirit was excited in him, seeing the city being addicted to idol worship. Therefore truly he discussed in the synagogue with Jews, and those worshipping, and in the assembly in every day with those being present. And certain of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers deliberated with him. And certain said, What may this idle, talkative man wish to say? and others, He seems to be a declarer of strange demons: because he announced to them good news, and the rising up. read more.
And having taken him, they brought upon Mars' hill, saying, Can we know what this new teaching is, spoken by thee? For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we wish therefore to know what these things may be. (And all the Athenians and strangers being present, passed time in nothing else but to say or hear some thing new.) And Paul having stood in the midst of Mars' hill, said, Men, Athenians, I see that in all things ye have a superstitious fear of divinity. For having passed by, and beholding your venerations, I found also an altar upon which was inscribed, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom not knowing therefore ye reverence, him I announce to you. God having made the world and all things in it, he being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made by hands; Nor is served by men's hands, standing in need of anything, he giving to all life, and breath, and all things. And he made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having limited the times before arranged, and the bounds of their habitation; To seek the Lord, if perchance indeed they have felt for him, and found, although not being far from each one of us: For in him we live, and move, and are; as certain of the composers among you have said, For we also are his race. Being therefore the posterity of God, we ought not to think gold, or silver, or stone, an engraving of art, or meditation of man, the divinity to be like. Therefore truly, God having overlooked the times of ignorance, now announces to all men everywhere to repent: Wherefore he set a day, in which he is about to judge the habitable globe in justice by the man whom he appointed; having offered faith to all, having raised him from the dead. And having heard of the rising up of the dead, they treated with mockery; and said, We will hear thee again concerning this. And so Paul went forth from the midst of them. And certain men having joined him, believed: among whom also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.

And after not much a violent wind struck against it, called Enroclydon. And the ship having been caught, and not able to resist the wind, yielding we were carried away. And having run under a certain island called Clauda, with difficulty were we able to be commanding the boat: read more.
Which having taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing lest they might fall through into the quicksand, having loosened the vessel, so were they borne away. And we being exceedingly tempest tossed, the following day they made a casting of the cargo overboard; And the third, working with our bands, we cast out the rigging of the ship. And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small tempest impending, finally all hope for us to be saved was removed. And there being much abstinence from food, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, Truly it was fitting, O men, having obeyed me, not to be conveyed from Crete, and gain this violence and damage. And now I advise you to be cheerful: for there shall be no throwing away of soul from you, but of the ship. For the messenger of God stood by me in this night, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul; Thou must stand before Caesar: and, behold, God has bestowed on thee as a gift all these sailing with thee. Wherefore, O men, be cheerful: for I believe God, that so it shall be as he has spoken to me. But we must fall upon a certain island. And when it was the fourteenth night, we being carried up and down in Adria, at midnight the sailors supposed some country brought near them; And having sounded, they found twenty fathoms; and having removed a little, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms. And fearing lest perhaps we might fall through into rough places, having cast four anchors from the stern, prayed for day to come. And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having loosened the boat to the sea, for a pretext as about to extend the anchors from the prow, Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these should remain in the ship, ye cannot be saved. Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off. And till it was about to be day, Paul besought all to take food, saying, Awaiting this day the fourteenth day, ye continue fasting, having taken nothing. Wherefore I beseech you to take food: for this is for your salvation: for not a hair of the head of one of you shall fall. And having said these, and having taken bread, he returned thanks to God before all: and having broken, he began to eat. And all being cheerful, these also received food. And we were, all the souls in the ship, two hundred and seventy-six. And satisfied with food, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea. And when it was day, they knew not the land: and they observed a certain deep bay having a coast, into which they resolved, if able, to push the ship. And having in removed the anchors, they let go into the sea, at the same time having let loose the bonds of the rudders, and having lifted up the mizen mast, they held with the blast to the coast. And having fallen into a place between two seas, they caused the ship to strike; and truly the prow, fixed firmly, remained undisturbed, but the stern was loosed by force of the waves. And the soldiers' counsel was that they kill the prisoners, lest any, having swum away, may escape. But the centurion wishing to save Paul, hindered from the resolution; and he commanded those being able to swim, having cast off first, to come to land: And the rest, truly some on boards, and some on certain things from the ship. And so it was, all were saved upon the land.

God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in sojourning the land of Egypt, and with high arm brought them out of it. And about forty years time he bare them in the desert. And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he gave them to inherit this land by lot. And after these, about four hundred and fifty years he gave judges, even to Samuel the prophet. And thence they desired a king; and God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years. And having removed him, he raised up to them David for king; to whom also having testified, he said, I found David of Jesse, a man according to my heart, who shall do all my desires. From the seed of this has God according to promise raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus: John having proclaimed before the face of his coming the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel. And as John completed the course, be said, Whom think ye me to be? I am not. But, behold, he comes after me, whose shoes of the feet I am not worthy to loose. Men, brethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent. For they dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, and the voices of the prophets which being read in every sabbath, having judged, they filled up. And having found no cause of death, they desired Pilate to have him slain. And when they finished all things written concerning him, having taken down from the wood, they put in a tomb. And God raised him from the dead: Who was seen for many days to them having come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people. And we announce good news to you, the promise made to our fathers, For this has God completed to us, their children, having raised up Jesus; as it has also been written in the second Psalms, Thou art my Son; to day have I begotten thee. And that he raised him from the dead, no more about to return to corruption, so he said, That I will give you the holy, faithful things of David. For also in another, he says, Thou shalt not give thy Holy one to see corruption. For David, truly having served his own generation by the will of God, was set to sleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption: But whom God raised up, he saw no corruption. Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that for him remission of sins is announced to you. And from all which ye could not be justified by Moses' law, every one believing in him is justified. See ye, therefore, that that spoken by the prophets come not upon you. See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, which ye would not believe if any recount to you.

Tact » Paul » In turning the preaching of his adversaries to advantage
For you to try things differing; that ye may be pure and not stumbling to the day of Christ; Filled with the fruits of justice, by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things. concerning me have rather gone to the advancement of the good news; read more.
So that my bonds in Christ were manifest in the whole pretorium, and to all the rest; And many of the brethren in the Lord, having trusted to my bonds, more abundantly dared to speak the word fearlessly. And some truly by envy and strife, and some also by kindness of disposition, proclaim Christ. Some truly of hired labor announce Christ, not purely, thinking to bring pressure upon my bonds: And some of love, knowing that I am placed for justification of the good news: For what? but in any manner, whether in pretence, or truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, and certainly I will rejoice. For I know that this shall be turned to me for salvation by your prayer, and the furnishing more of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, According to my anxious expectation, and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but in all freedom of speech, as always, and now shall Christ be Magnified in my body, whether by life, whether by death. For me to live is Christ, and to die gain. And if to live in the flesh, this to me the fruit of work: and whether I shall be taken away I know not

And Paul having known that one part is of the Sadducees, and the other of the Pharisees, cried in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee: for the hope and rising up of the dead am I judged.
