AC-8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time

there was a great persecution against the church which was at

Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the

regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. <against>

AC-8:2 And devout men carried Stephen [to his burial] , and made

great lamentation over him. <burial> <carried> <devout> <great>

AC-8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into

every house, and haling men and women committed [them] to prison.

AC-8:4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every

where preaching the word. <every> <preaching> <scattered>

AC-8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and

preached Christ unto them. <christ> <city> <down> <philip>

AC-8:6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those

things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which

he did. <did> <gave> <hearing> <heed> <miracles> <one> <people>

AC-8:7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of

many that were possessed [with them] :and many taken with

palsies, and that were lame, were healed. <came> <crying>

AC-8:8 And there was great joy in that city. <city> <great>

AC-8:9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which

beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the

people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

AC-8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the

greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. <all>

AC-8:11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he

had bewitched them with sorceries. <because> <bewitched> <had>

AC-8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things

concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ,

they were baptized, both men and women. <baptized> <believed>

AC-8:13 Then Simon himself believed also:and when he was

baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the

miracles and signs which were done. <also> <baptized>

AC-8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that

Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter

and John:<apostles> <god> <had> <heard> <jerusalem> <john> <now>

AC-8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that

they might receive the Holy Ghost:<come> <down> <ghost> <holy>

AC-8:16 ( For as yet he was fallen upon none of them:only they

were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ) <baptized>

AC-8:17 Then laid they [their] hands on them, and they received

the Holy Ghost. <ghost> <hands> <holy> <laid> <on> <received>

<then>

AC-8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the

apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

AC-8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I

lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. <also> <ghost> <give>

AC-8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee,

because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased

with money. <because> <gift> <god> <hast> <him> <may> <money>

AC-8:21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter:for thy

heart is not right in the sight of God. <god> <hast> <heart>

AC-8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God,

if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

AC-8:23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness,

and [in] the bond of iniquity. <art> <bitterness> <bond> <gall>

AC-8:24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for

me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

AC-8:25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word

of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in

many villages of the Samaritans. <gospel> <had> <jerusalem>

AC-8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying,

Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from

Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. <angel> <arise> <desert>

AC-8:27 And he arose and went:and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an

eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians,

who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to

Jerusalem for to worship, <all> <arose> <authority> <behold>

AC-8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias

the prophet. <chariot> <esaias> <prophet> <read> <returning>

AC-8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join

thyself to this chariot. <chariot> <go> <join> <near> <philip>

AC-8:30 And Philip ran thither to [him] , and heard him read the

prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

AC-8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me?

And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

AC-8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He

was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before

his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:<before> <dumb> <lamb>

AC-8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away:and who

shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the

earth. <away> <declare> <earth> <generation> <humiliation>

AC-8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee,

of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other

man? <answered> <eunuch> <himself> <man> <or> <other> <philip>

AC-8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same

scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. <began> <him> <jesus>

AC-8:36 And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a

certain water:and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what

doth hinder me to be baptized? <baptized> <came> <certain>

AC-8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart,

thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus

Christ is the Son of God. <all> <answered> <believe> <believest>

AC-8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still:and they

went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and

he baptized him. <baptized> <both> <chariot> <commanded> <down>

AC-8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit

of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more:

and he went on his way rejoicing. <away> <caught> <come>

AC-8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus:and passing through he

preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. <all>

AC-9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter

against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

AC-9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues,

that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women,

he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. <any> <bound> <bring>

AC-9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus:and suddenly

there shined round about him a light from heaven:<came>

AC-9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto

him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? <earth> <fell> <heard>

AC-9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am

Jesus whom thou persecutest:[it is] hard for thee to kick

against the pricks. <against> <art> <hard> <jesus> <kick> <lord>

AC-9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt

thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go

into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

AC-9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless,

hearing a voice, but seeing no man. <hearing> <him> <journeyed>

<with>

AC-9:8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were

opened, he saw no man:but they led him by the hand, and brought

[him] into Damascus. <arose> <brought> <damascus> <earth> <eyes>

AC-9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat

nor drink. <days> <did> <drink> <eat> <neither> <nor> <sight>

AC-9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named

Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he

said, Behold, I [am here] , Lord. <ananias> <behold> <certain>

AC-9:11 And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the

street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of

Judas for [one] called Saul, of Tarsus:for, behold, he prayeth,

AC-9:12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in,

and putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

AC-9:13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of

this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

AC-9:14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to

bind all that call on thy name. <all> <authority> <bind> <call>

AC-9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way:for he is a

chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and

kings, and the children of Israel:<bear> <before> <children>

AC-9:16 For I will show him how great things he must suffer for

my name's sake. <great> <him> <how> <must> <sake> <show>

AC-9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house;

and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord,

[even] Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest,

hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be

filled with the Holy Ghost. <ananias> <appeared> <brother>

AC-9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been

scales:and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was

baptized. <arose> <baptized> <been> <eyes> <fell> <forthwith>

AC-9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then

was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

AC-9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues,

that he is the Son of God. <christ> <god> <preached> <son>

AC-9:21 But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said; Is not

this he that destroyed them which called on this name in

Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring

them bound unto the chief priests? <all> <amazed> <bound>

AC-9:22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded

the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very

Christ. <christ> <confounded> <damascus> <dwelt> <increased>

AC-9:23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took

counsel to kill him:<after> <counsel> <days> <fulfilled> <him>

AC-9:24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they

watched the gates day and night to kill him. <await> <day>

AC-9:25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him] down

by the wall in a basket. <basket> <disciples> <down> <him> <let>

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. <afraid> <all> <assayed>

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. <apostles> <barnabas> <boldly>

AC-9:28 And he was with them coming in and going out at

Jerusalem. <coming> <going> <jerusalem> <with>

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. <brethren> <brought>

<which>

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. <all> <churches> <comfort> <edified> <fear>

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. <all> <also> <came> <down> <dwelt> <lydda> <pass>

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. <aeneas>

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. <all> <dwelt> <him> <lord> <lydda> <saron>

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. <almsdeeds> <called>

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. <came> <chamber> <days> <died> <had> <laid> <pass>

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.

<would>

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. <all> <arose> <brought> <chamber>

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. <all>

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. <all> <believed> <joppa> <known> <lord> <many>

AC-9:43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa

with one Simon a tanner. <came> <days> <joppa> <many> <one>

AC-10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a

centurion of the band called the Italian [band] , <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. <all> <alms> <alway> <devout> <feared> <gave> <god>

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. <angel> <coming> <cornelius> <day> <evidently> <god>

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. <afraid> <alms> <are>

AC-10:5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon,

whose surname is Peter:<call> <joppa> <men> <now> <one> <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. <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; <angel> <called>

AC-10:8 And when he had declared all [these] things unto them,

he sent them to Joppa. <all> <declared> <had> <joppa> <sent>

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:<city> <drew> <hour> <housetop> <journey>

AC-10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten:but

while they made ready, he fell into a trance, <became> <eaten>

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:<been> <certain> <corners>

AC-10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the

earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the

air. <air> <all> <beasts> <creeping> <earth> <fourfooted>

AC-10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and

eat. <came> <eat> <him> <kill> <peter> <rise> <there> <voice>

AC-10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten

any thing that is common or unclean. <any> <common> <eaten>

AC-10:15 And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time,

What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common. <again>

AC-10:16 This was done thrice:and the vessel was received up

again into heaven. <again> <done> <heaven> <into> <received>

AC-10:17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision

which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent

from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood

before the gate, <before> <behold> <cornelius> <doubted> <gate>

AC-10:18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed

Peter, were lodged there. <asked> <called> <lodged> <peter>

AC-10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto

him, Behold, three men seek thee. <behold> <him> <men> <on>

AC-10:20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them,

doubting nothing:for I have sent them. <arise> <doubting> <down>

AC-10:21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto

him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek:what

[is] the cause wherefore ye are come? <are> <behold> <cause>

AC-10:22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and

one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of

the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee

into his house, and to hear words of thee. <all> <among> <angel>

AC-10:23 Then called he them in, and lodged [them] . And on the

morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from

Joppa accompanied him. <away> <brethren> <called> <certain>

AC-10:24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And

Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen

and near friends. <after> <caesarea> <called> <cornelius>

AC-10:25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell

down at his feet, and worshipped [him] . <coming> <cornelius>

AC-10:26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also

am a man. <also> <him> <man> <myself> <peter> <saying> <stand>

<took>

AC-10:27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many

that were come together. <come> <found> <him> <many> <talked>

AC-10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an

unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come

unto one of another nation; but God hath showed me that I should

not call any man common or unclean. <another> <any> <call>

AC-10:29 Therefore came I [unto you] without gainsaying, as soon

as I was sent for:I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent

for me? <ask> <came> <gainsaying> <have> <intent> <sent> <soon>

AC-10:30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until

this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and,

behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, <ago> <before>

<until>

AC-10:31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine

alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. <alms> <are>

AC-10:32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose

surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of [one] Simon a

tanner by the sea side:who, when he cometh, shall speak unto

thee. <call> <cometh> <hither> <house> <joppa> <lodged> <one>

AC-10:33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast

well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here

present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee

of God. <all> <are> <art> <before> <come> <commanded> <done>

AC-10:34 Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I

perceive that God is no respecter of persons:<god> <mouth> <no>

<truth>

AC-10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh

righteousness, is accepted with him. <every> <feareth> <him>

AC-10:36 The word which [God] sent unto the children of Israel,

preaching peace by Jesus Christ:( he is Lord of all:) <all>

AC-10:37 That word, [I say] , ye know, which was published

throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism

which John preached; <after> <all> <baptism> <began> <galilee>

AC-10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost

and with power:who went about doing good, and healing all that

were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. <all>

<with>

AC-10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in

the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and

hanged on a tree:<all> <are> <both> <did> <hanged> <jerusalem>

AC-10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;

AC-10:41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before

of God, [even] to us, who did eat and drink with him after he

rose from the dead. <after> <all> <before> <chosen> <dead> <did>

AC-10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to

testify that it is he which was ordained of God [to be] the

Judge of quick and dead. <commanded> <dead> <god> <judge>

AC-10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his

name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

AC-10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell

on all them which heard the word. <all> <fell> <ghost> <heard>

AC-10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were

astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the

Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. <also>

AC-10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.

Then answered Peter, <answered> <god> <heard> <magnify> <peter>

AC-10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be

baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

AC-10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the

Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. <baptized>

AC-11:1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard

that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. <also>

AC-11:2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were

of the circumcision contended with him, <circumcision> <come>

AC-11:3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst

eat with them. <didst> <eat> <men> <saying> <uncircumcised>

AC-11:4 But Peter rehearsed [the matter] from the beginning, and

expounded [it] by order unto them, saying, <beginning>

AC-11:5 I was in the city of Joppa praying:and in a trance I saw

a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet,

let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

AC-11:6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I

considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild

beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. <air>

<wild>

AC-11:7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay

and eat. <arise> <eat> <heard> <peter> <saying> <slay> <voice>

AC-11:8 But I said, Not so, Lord:for nothing common or unclean

hath at any time entered into my mouth. <any> <common> <entered>

AC-11:9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God

hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common. <again> <answered>

AC-11:10 And this was done three times:and all were drawn up

again into heaven. <again> <all> <done> <drawn> <heaven> <into>

AC-11:11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already

come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

AC-11:12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting.

Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into

the man's house:<bade> <brethren> <doubting> <entered> <go>

AC-11:13 And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house,

which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for

Simon, whose surname is Peter; <angel> <call> <had> <him>

AC-11:14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy

house shall be saved. <all> <house> <saved> <tell> <whereby>

AC-11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them,

as on us at the beginning. <began> <beginning> <fell> <ghost>

AC-11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he

said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized

with the Holy Ghost. <baptized> <ghost> <holy> <how> <indeed>

AC-11:17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as [he

did] unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I,

that I could withstand God? <believed> <christ> <could> <did>

AC-11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace,

and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles

granted repentance unto life. <also> <gentiles> <glorified>

AC-11:19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the

persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice,

and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto

the Jews only. <antioch> <arose> <cyprus> <far> <jews> <none>

AC-11:20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which,

when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians,

preaching the Lord Jesus. <antioch> <come> <cyprus> <cyrene>

AC-11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them:and a great

number believed, and turned unto the Lord. <believed> <great>

AC-11:22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the

church which was in Jerusalem:and they sent forth Barnabas, that

he should go as far as Antioch. <antioch> <barnabas> <came>

AC-11:23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was

glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they

would cleave unto the Lord. <all> <came> <cleave> <exhorted>

AC-11:24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and

of faith:and much people was added unto the Lord. <faith> <full>

AC-11:25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
