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.
