DAY 13

AC-12:9  And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it

was

true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

AC-12:10  When they were past the first and the second ward, they

came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened

to

them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through

one

street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

AC-12:11  And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I

know of

a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered

me

out of the hand of Herod, and [from] all the expectation of the

people of the Jews.

AC-12:12  And when he had considered [the thing], he came to the

house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where

many

were gathered together praying.

AC-12:13  And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel

came to hearken, named Rhoda.

AC-12:14  And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the

gate

for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the

gate.

AC-12:15  And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she

constantly

affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.

AC-12:16  But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened

[the door], and saw him, they were astonished.

AC-12:17  But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their

peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the

prison. And he said, Go show these things unto James, and to the

brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.

AC-12:18  Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir

among

the soldiers, what was become of Peter.

AC-12:19  And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not,

he

examined the keepers, and commanded that [they] should be put to

death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and [there]

abode.

AC-12:20  And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and

Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made

Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace;

because

their country was nourished by the king's [country].

AC-12:21  And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat

upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.

AC-12:22  And the people gave a shout, [saying, It is] the voice

of

a god, and not of a man.

AC-12:23  And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him,

because

he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up

the ghost.

AC-12:24  But the word of God grew and multiplied.

AC-12:25  And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when

they

had fulfilled [their] ministry, and took with them John, whose

surname was Mark.

*AC-13:1  Now there were in the church that was at Antioch

certain

prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called

Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought

up

with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

AC-13:2  As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy

Ghost

said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have

called them.

AC-13:3  And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid [their]

hands

on them, they sent [them] away.

AC-13:4  So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed

unto

Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

AC-13:5  And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of

God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to

[their]

minister.

AC-13:6  And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos,

they

found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name

[was]

Barjesus:

AC-13:7  Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius

Paulus, a

prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to

hear

the word of God.

AC-13:8  But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by

interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy

from

the faith.

AC-13:9  Then Saul, (who also [is called] Paul,) filled with the

Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

AC-13:10  And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief,

[thou]

child of the devil, [thou] enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou

not

cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

AC-13:11  And now, behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee,

and

thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And

immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went

about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

AC-13:12  Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed,

being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

AC-13:13  Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they

came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them

returned to

Jerusalem.

AC-13:14  But when they departed from Perga, they came to

Antioch in

Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat

down.
