DAY 10
AC-9:23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took
counsel to kill him:
AC-9:24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they
watched
the gates day and night to kill him.
AC-9:25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him]
down by
the wall in a basket.
AC-9:26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join
himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and
believed not that he was a disciple.
AC-9:27 But Barnabas took him, and brought [him] to the
apostles,
and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and
that
he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus
in
the name of Jesus.
AC-9:28 And he was with them coming in and going out at
Jerusalem.
AC-9:29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and
disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
AC-9:30 [Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to
Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
AC-9:31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and
Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of
the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
AC-9:32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all
[quarters], he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
AC-9:33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, which had
kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
AC-9:34 And Peter said unto him, AEneas, Jesus Christ maketh
thee
whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
AC-9:35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and
turned
to the Lord.
AC-9:36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha,
which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of
good works and almsdeeds which she did.
AC-9:37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick,
and
died: whom when they had washed, they laid [her] in an upper
chamber.
AC-9:38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the
disciples
had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men,
desiring
[him] that he would not delay to come to them.
AC-9:39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come,
they
brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by
him
weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made,
while
she was with them.
AC-9:40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and
prayed;
and turning [him] to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she
opened
her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
AC-9:41 And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up, and when
he
had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
AC-9:42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many
believed in
the Lord.
AC-9:43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa
with one Simon a tanner.
*AC-10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a
centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
AC-10:2 [A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his
house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God
alway.
AC-10:3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the
day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him,
Cornelius.
AC-10:4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said,
What is
it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are
come
up for a memorial before God.
AC-10:5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon,
whose
surname is Peter:
AC-10:6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by
the
sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
AC-10:7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was
departed,
he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of
them that waited on him continually;
AC-10:8 And when he had declared all [these] things unto them,
he
sent them to Joppa.
AC-10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew
nigh
unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the
sixth hour:
AC-10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but
while
they made ready, he fell into a trance,
AC-10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending
unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners,
and
let down to the earth:
AC-10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the
earth,
and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
AC-10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and
eat.
AC-10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten
any
thing that is common or unclean.
AC-10:15 And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time,
What
God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
AC-10:16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up
again
into heaven.
