AC-11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch.

And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves

with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were

called Christians first in Antioch. <antioch> <assembled>

AC-11:27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto

Antioch. <antioch> <came> <days> <jerusalem> <prophets> <these>

AC-11:28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and

signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth

throughout all the world:which came to pass in the days of

Claudius Caesar. <agabus> <all> <caesar> <came> <claudius>

AC-11:29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability,

determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in

Judaea:<brethren> <determined> <disciples> <dwelt> <every>

AC-11:30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the

hands of Barnabas and Saul. <also> <barnabas> <did> <elders>

AC-12:1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth [his]

hands to vex certain of the church. <certain> <church> <forth>

AC-12:2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

AC-12:3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded

further to take Peter also. ( Then were the days of unleavened

bread. ) <also> <because> <bread> <days> <further> <jews>

AC-12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put [him] in prison,

and delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him;

intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. <after>

AC-12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison:but prayer was made

without ceasing of the church unto God for him. <ceasing>

AC-12:6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same

night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two

chains:and the keepers before the door kept the prison. <before>

AC-12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon [him] , and

a light shined in the prison:and he smote Peter on the side, and

raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off

from [his] hands. <angel> <arise> <behold> <came> <chains>

AC-12:8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on

thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy

garment about thee, and follow me. <angel> <bind> <cast> <did>

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. <angel> <done> <followed> <him> <saw> <thought> <true>

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. <all> <angel> <come>

<when>

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. <came> <considered>

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

came to hearken, named Rhoda. <came> <damsel> <door> <gate>

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. <before> <gate> <gladness> <how> <knew> <opened>

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. <affirmed> <angel> <art> <constantly> <even> <mad>

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

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

<when>

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.

<with>

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

among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. <among> <become>

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. <caesarea> <commanded> <death> <down> <examined> <found>

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. <apparel>

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

of a god, and not of a man. <gave> <god> <man> <people> <saying>

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. <angel> <because> <eaten> <gave> <ghost>

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

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. <barnabas> <fulfilled> <had> <jerusalem>

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. <antioch> <barnabas>

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. <barnabas> <called> <fasted> <ghost> <have>

<work>

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

hands on them, they sent [them] away. <away> <fasted> <had>

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

unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. <being>

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. <also> <god> <had> <jews> <john> <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:<barjesus> <certain> <false> <found> <gone>

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. <barnabas> <called> <country> <deputy>

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. <away> <deputy> <elymas> <faith>

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

the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, <also> <called> <eyes>

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? <all>

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. <behold> <blind>

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

being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. <astonished>

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. <came> <company> <departing> <jerusalem> <john>

<when>

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. <antioch> <came> <day> <departed> <down> <into> <on>

AC-13:15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the

rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, [Ye] men [and]

brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say

on. <after> <any> <brethren> <exhortation> <have> <law> <men>

AC-13:16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with [his] hand said,

Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience. <audience>

AC-13:17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and

exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of

Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it. <arm>

AC-13:18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their

manners in the wilderness. <forty> <manners> <suffered> <time>

AC-13:19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of

Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot. <chanaan>

AC-13:20 And after that he gave [unto them] judges about the

space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

AC-13:21 And afterward they desired a king:and God gave unto

them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the

space of forty years. <afterward> <benjamin> <cis> <desired>

<years>

AC-13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them

David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said,

I have found David the [son] of Jesse, a man after mine own

heart, which shall fulfil all my will. <after> <all> <also>

AC-13:23 Of this man's seed hath God according to [his] promise

raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:<god> <hath> <israel>

AC-13:24 When John had first preached before his coming the

baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. <all>

AC-13:25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think

ye that I am? I am not [he] . But, behold, there cometh one

after me, whose shoes of [his] feet I am not worthy to loose.

AC-13:26 Men [and] brethren, children of the stock of Abraham,

and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this

salvation sent. <among> <brethren> <children> <feareth> <god>

AC-13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers,

because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets

which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled [them] in

condemning [him] . <are> <because> <condemning> <day> <dwell>

AC-13:28 And though they found no cause of death [in him] , yet

desired they Pilate that he should be slain. <cause> <death>

<yet>

AC-13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him,

they took [him] down from the tree, and laid [him] in a

sepulchre. <all> <down> <fulfilled> <had> <him> <laid>

AC-13:30 But God raised him from the dead:<dead> <god> <him>

AC-13:31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with

him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the

people. <are> <came> <days> <galilee> <him> <jerusalem> <many>

AC-13:32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the

promise which was made unto the fathers, <declare> <fathers>

AC-13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in

that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the

second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

AC-13:34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead,

[now] no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I

will give you the sure mercies of David. <concerning>

AC-13:35 Wherefore he saith also in another [psalm] , Thou shalt

not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. <also> <another>

AC-13:36 For David, after he had served his own generation by

the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers,

and saw corruption:<after> <corruption> <david> <fathers> <fell>

AC-13:37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

AC-13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men [and] brethren,

that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of

sins:<brethren> <forgiveness> <known> <man> <men> <preached>

AC-13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all

things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

AC-13:40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is

spoken of in the prophets; <beware> <come> <lest> <prophets>

AC-13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish:for I work

a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe,

though a man declare it unto you. <behold> <believe> <days>

AC-13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the

Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the

next sabbath. <besought> <gentiles> <gone> <jews> <might> <next>

AC-13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the

Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas:who,

speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

AC-13:44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city

together to hear the word of God. <almost> <came> <city> <day>

AC-13:45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled

with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by

Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. <against> <blaspheming>

AC-13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was

necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to

you:but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy

of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. <barnabas>

AC-13:47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying] , I have

set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be

for salvation unto the ends of the earth. <commanded> <earth>

AC-13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and

glorified the word of the Lord:and as many as were ordained to

eternal life believed. <believed> <eternal> <gentiles> <glad>

AC-13:49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all

the region. <all> <lord> <published> <region> <throughout> <word>

AC-13:50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women,

and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against

Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

AC-13:51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them,

and came unto Iconium. <against> <came> <dust> <feet> <iconium>

AC-13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the

Holy Ghost. <disciples> <filled> <ghost> <holy> <joy> <with>

AC-14:1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both

together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a

great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.

AC-14:2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and

made their minds evil affected against the brethren. <affected>

AC-14:3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the

Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and

granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands. <boldly>

<word>

AC-14:4 But the multitude of the city was divided:and part held

with the Jews, and part with the apostles. <apostles> <city>

AC-14:5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles,

and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use [them]

despitefully, and to stone them, <also> <assault> <both>

AC-14:6 They were ware of [it] , and fled unto Lystra and Derbe,

cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

AC-14:7 And there they preached the gospel. <gospel> <preached>

<there>

AC-14:8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his

feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had

walked:<being> <certain> <cripple> <feet> <had> <impotent>

AC-14:9 The same heard Paul speak:who stedfastly beholding him,

and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, <beholding>

AC-14:10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And

he leaped and walked. <feet> <leaped> <loud> <on> <said> <stand>

AC-14:11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted

up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are

come down to us in the likeness of men. <are> <come> <done>

AC-14:12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius,

because he was the chief speaker. <barnabas> <because> <called>

AC-14:13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city,

brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done

sacrifice with the people. <before> <brought> <city> <done>

AC-14:14 [Which] when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard

[of] , they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people,

crying out, <among> <apostles> <barnabas> <clothes> <crying>

AC-14:15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are

men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye

should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made

heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:

AC-14:16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their

own ways. <all> <nations> <own> <past> <suffered> <times> <walk>

AC-14:17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in

that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful

seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. <did>

AC-14:18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the

people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them. <done> <had>

<with>

AC-14:19 And there came thither [certain] Jews from Antioch and

Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew

[him] out of the city, supposing he had been dead. <antioch>

AC-14:20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he

rose up, and came into the city:and the next day he departed

with Barnabas to Derbe. <barnabas> <came> <city> <day>

AC-14:21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and

had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and [to] Iconium,

and Antioch, <again> <antioch> <city> <gospel> <had> <iconium>

AC-14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, [and] exhorting

them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much

tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. <confirming>

AC-14:23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church,

and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on

whom they believed. <believed> <church> <commended> <elders>

AC-14:24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came

to Pamphylia. <after> <came> <had> <pamphylia> <passed>

AC-14:25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went

down into Attalia:<attalia> <down> <had> <into> <perga>

AC-14:26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been

recommended to the grace of God for the work which they

fulfilled. <antioch> <been> <fulfilled> <god> <grace> <had>

AC-14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church

together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and

how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. <all>

AC-14:28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.

AC-15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the

brethren, [and said] , Except ye be circumcised after the manner

of Moses, ye cannot be saved. <after> <brethren> <came> <cannot>

AC-15:2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension

and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and

Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem

unto the apostles and elders about this question. <apostles>

AC-15:3 And being brought on their way by the church, they

passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of

the Gentiles:and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

AC-15:4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received

of the church, and [of] the apostles and elders, and they

declared all things that God had done with them. <all>

AC-15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees

which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them,

and to command [them] to keep the law of Moses. <believed>

AC-15:6 And the apostles and elders came together for to

consider of this matter. <apostles> <came> <consider> <elders>

AC-15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up,

and said unto them, Men [and] brethren, ye know how that a good

while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my

mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. <ago>

AC-15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness,

giving them the Holy Ghost, even as [he did] unto us; <bare>

AC-15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying

their hearts by faith. <between> <difference> <faith> <hearts>

AC-15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the

neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were

able to bear? <bear> <disciples> <fathers> <god> <neck>

<yoke>

AC-15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus

Christ we shall be saved, even as they. <believe> <christ>

AC-15:12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience

to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God

had wrought among the Gentiles by them. <all> <among> <audience>

AC-15:13 And after they had held their peace, James answered,

saying, Men [and] brethren, hearken unto me:<after> <answered>

AC-15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the

Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. <declared>

AC-15:15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is

written, <agree> <prophets> <this> <words> <written>

AC-15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the

tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build

again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:<after> <again>

AC-15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and

all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord,

who doeth all these things. <after> <all> <called> <doeth>

AC-15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of

the world. <all> <are> <beginning> <god> <known> <works> <world>

AC-15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them,

which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:<among> <are>

<which>

AC-15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from

pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things

strangled, and [from] blood. <blood> <fornication> <idols>

AC-15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that

preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

AC-15:22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole

church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with

Paul and Barnabas; [namely] , Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas,

chief men among the brethren:<among> <antioch> <apostles>

AC-15:23 And they wrote [letters] by them after this manner; The

apostles and elders and brethren [send] greeting unto the

brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and

Cilicia:<after> <antioch> <apostles> <are> <brethren> <cilicia>

AC-15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out

from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls,

saying, [Ye must] be circumcised, and keep the law:to whom we

gave no [such] commandment:<certain> <circumcised> <commandment>

AC-15:25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord,

to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

AC-15:26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our

Lord Jesus Christ. <christ> <have> <hazarded> <jesus> <lives>

AC-15:27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also

tell [you] the same things by mouth. <also> <have> <judas>

AC-15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay

upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; <burden>

AC-15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from

blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication:from

which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

AC-15:30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch:and

when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered

the epistle:<antioch> <came> <delivered> <dismissed> <epistle>

AC-15:31 [Which] when they had read, they rejoiced for the

consolation. <consolation> <had> <read> <rejoiced> <when> <which>

AC-15:32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves,

exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed [them] .

AC-15:33 And after they had tarried [there] a space, they were

let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles. <after>

<there>

AC-15:34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

AC-15:35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching

and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

AC-15:36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go

again and visit our brethren in every city where we have

preached the word of the Lord, [and see] how they do. <after>

AC-15:37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose

surname was Mark. <barnabas> <determined> <john>
