AC-15:38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who

departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the

work. <departed> <good> <him> <pamphylia> <paul> <take>

AC-15:39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they

departed asunder one from the other:and so Barnabas took Mark,

and sailed unto Cyprus; <asunder> <barnabas> <between>

AC-15:40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended

by the brethren unto the grace of God. <being> <brethren>

AC-15:41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the

churches. <churches> <cilicia> <confirming> <syria> <through>

<went>

AC-16:1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra:and, behold, a certain

disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman,

which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father [was] a Greek:

AC-16:2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at

Lystra and Iconium. <brethren> <iconium> <lystra> <reported>

AC-16:3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and

circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters:

for they knew all that his father was a Greek. <all> <because>

AC-16:4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them

the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and

elders which were at Jerusalem. <apostles> <cities> <decrees>

AC-16:5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and

increased in number daily. <churches> <daily> <established>

AC-16:6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region

of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the

word in Asia, <asia> <forbidden> <galatia> <ghost> <gone> <had>

<word>

AC-16:7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into

Bithynia:but the Spirit suffered them not. <after> <assayed>

AC-16:8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. <came>

AC-16:9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood

a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into

Macedonia, and help us. <appeared> <come> <help> <him> <into>

AC-16:10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we

endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the

Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them. <after>

AC-16:11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight

course to Samothracia, and the next [day] to Neapolis; <came>

AC-16:12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of

that part of Macedonia, [and] a colony:and we were in that city

abiding certain days. <certain> <chief> <city> <colony> <days>

AC-16:13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river

side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and

spake unto the women which resorted [thither] . <city> <down>

AC-16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of

the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard [us] :whose

heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which

were spoken of Paul. <attended> <certain> <city> <god> <heard>

AC-16:15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she

besought [us] , saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to

the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there] . And she

constrained us. <baptized> <besought> <come> <constrained>

AC-16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain

damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which

brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:<brought> <came>

AC-16:17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These

men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us

the way of salvation. <are> <cried> <followed> <god> <high>

AC-16:18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved,

turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of

Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

AC-16:19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains

was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew [them] into the

marketplace unto the rulers, <caught> <drew> <gains> <gone>

AC-16:20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men,

being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, <being> <brought>

AC-16:21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to

receive, neither to observe, being Romans. <are> <being>

AC-16:22 And the multitude rose up together against them:and the

magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them]

. <against> <beat> <clothes> <commanded> <magistrates>

AC-16:23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they

cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

AC-16:24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into

the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

AC-16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises

unto God:and the prisoners heard them. <god> <heard> <midnight>

AC-16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the

foundations of the prison were shaken:and immediately all the

doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. <all>

AC-16:27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep,

and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and

would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been

fled. <awaking> <been> <doors> <drew> <fled> <had> <have>

AC-16:28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no

harm:for we are all here. <all> <are> <cried> <do> <harm> <here>

AC-16:29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came

trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, <before>

AC-16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to

be saved? <brought> <do> <must> <said> <saved> <sirs> <what>

AC-16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and

thou shalt be saved, and thy house. <believe> <christ> <house>

AC-16:32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to

all that were in his house. <all> <him> <house> <lord> <spake>

<word>

AC-16:33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed

[their] stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

AC-16:34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set

meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his

house. <all> <before> <believing> <brought> <god> <had> <house>

AC-16:35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants,

saying, Let those men go. <day> <go> <let> <magistrates> <men>

AC-16:36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul,

The magistrates have sent to let you go:now therefore depart,

and go in peace. <depart> <go> <have> <keeper> <let>

AC-16:37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly

uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast [us] into prison; and

now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come

themselves and fetch us out. <beaten> <being> <cast> <come> <do>

AC-16:38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates:

and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans. <feared>

<words>

AC-16:39 And they came and besought them, and brought [them] out,

and desired [them] to depart out of the city. <besought>

AC-16:40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the

house of] Lydia:and when they had seen the brethren, they

comforted them, and departed. <brethren> <comforted> <departed>

<when>

AC-17:1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and

Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of

the Jews:<amphipolis> <apollonia> <came> <had> <jews> <now>

AC-17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and

three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

AC-17:3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have

suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus,

whom I preach unto you, is Christ. <again> <alleging> <christ>

AC-17:4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and

Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the

chief women not a few. <believed> <chief> <consorted> <devout>

<women>

AC-17:5 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took

unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a

company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the

house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

AC-17:6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and

certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that

have turned the world upside down are come hither also; <also>

AC-17:7 Whom Jason hath received:and these all do contrary to

the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one]

Jesus. <all> <another> <caesar> <contrary> <decrees> <do> <hath>

<whom>

AC-17:8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city,

when they heard these things. <city> <heard> <people> <rulers>

AC-17:9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the

other, they let them go. <go> <had> <jason> <let> <other>

AC-17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas

by night unto Berea:who coming [thither] went into the synagogue

of the Jews. <away> <berea> <brethren> <coming> <immediately>

AC-17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in

that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and

searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

AC-17:12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable

women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. <also>

AC-17:13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that

the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither

also, and stirred up the people. <also> <berea> <came> <god>

AC-17:14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go

as it were to the sea:but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.

AC-17:15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens:

and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come

to him with all speed, they departed. <all> <athens> <brought>

AC-17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit

was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to

idolatry. <athens> <city> <given> <him> <idolatry> <now> <paul>

AC-17:17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews,

and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them

that met with him. <daily> <devout> <disputed> <him> <jews>

AC-17:18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the

Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler

say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods:

because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

AC-17:19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus,

saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou

speakest, [is] ? <areopagus> <brought> <doctrine> <him> <know>

AC-17:20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears:we

would know therefore what these things mean. <bringest>

AC-17:21 ( For all the Athenians and strangers which were there

spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear

some new thing. ) <all> <athenians> <either> <else> <hear> <new>

AC-17:22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said,

[Ye] men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too

superstitious. <all> <are> <athens> <hill> <men> <midst> <paul>

AC-17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found

an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom

therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. <altar>

AC-17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing

that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples

made with hands; <all> <dwelleth> <earth> <god> <hands> <heaven>

<world>

AC-17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he

needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and

all things; <all> <any> <breath> <giveth> <hands> <life>

AC-17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to

dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the

times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

AC-17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might

feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every

one of us:<after> <every> <far> <feel> <find> <haply> <him>

AC-17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as

certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his

offspring. <also> <are> <being> <certain> <have> <him> <live>

AC-17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought

not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or

stone, graven by art and man's device. <are> <art> <device>

AC-17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now

commandeth all men every where to repent:<all> <commandeth>

AC-17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will

judge the world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath

ordained; [whereof] he hath given assurance unto all [men] , in

that he hath raised him from the dead. <all> <appointed>

AC-17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead,

some mocked:and others said, We will hear thee again of this

[matter] . <again> <dead> <hear> <heard> <matter> <mocked>

AC-17:33 So Paul departed from among them. <among> <departed>

AC-17:34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed:among

the which [was] Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named

Damaris, and others with them. <among> <areopagite> <believed>

AC-18:1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came

to Corinth; <after> <athens> <came> <corinth> <departed> <paul>

AC-18:2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus,

lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; ( because that

Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came

unto them. <all> <aquila> <because> <born> <came> <certain>

<with>

AC-18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them,

and wrought:for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

AC-18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and

persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. <every> <greeks> <jews>

AC-18:5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia,

Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews [that]

Jesus [was] Christ. <christ> <come> <jesus> <jews> <macedonia>

AC-18:6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he

shook [his] raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon

your own heads; I [am] clean:from henceforth I will go unto the

Gentiles. <blasphemed> <blood> <clean> <gentiles> <go> <heads>

AC-18:7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain

[man's] house, named Justus, [one] that worshipped God, whose

house joined hard to the synagogue. <certain> <departed>

AC-18:8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed

on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians

hearing believed, and were baptized. <all> <baptized> <believed>

AC-18:9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be

not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:<afraid> <hold>

AC-18:10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to

hurt thee:for I have much people in this city. <city> <have>

AC-18:11 And he continued [there] a year and six months,

teaching the word of God among them. <among> <continued> <god>

AC-18:12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made

insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to

the judgment seat, <against> <brought> <deputy> <gallio> <him>

AC-18:13 Saying, This [fellow] persuadeth men to worship God

contrary to the law. <contrary> <fellow> <god> <law> <men>

AC-18:14 And when Paul was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio

said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked

lewdness, O [ye] Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

AC-18:15 But if it be a question of words and names, and [of]

your law, look ye [to it] ; for I will be no judge of such

[matters] . <judge> <law> <look> <matters> <names> <no>

AC-18:16 And he drave them from the judgment seat. <drave>

AC-18:17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of

the synagogue, and beat [him] before the judgment seat. And

Gallio cared for none of those things. <all> <beat> <before>

<took>

AC-18:18 And Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while,

and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into

Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his]

head in Cenchrea:for he had a vow. <after> <aquila> <brethren>

AC-18:19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there:but he

himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

AC-18:20 When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them,

he consented not; <consented> <desired> <him> <longer> <tarry>

AC-18:21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means

keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem:but I will return again

unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus. <again> <all>

AC-18:22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and

saluted the church, he went down to Antioch. <antioch>

AC-18:23 And after he had spent some time [there] , he departed,

and went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order,

strengthening all the disciples. <after> <all> <country>

AC-18:24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an

eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

AC-18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and

being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the

things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. <baptism>

<way>

AC-18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue:whom when

Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto [them] , and

expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. <aquila>

<whom>

AC-18:27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the

brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him:who, when

he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:

AC-18:28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that] publicly,

showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. <christ>

AC-19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth,

Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus:and

finding certain disciples, <apollos> <came> <certain> <coasts>

AC-19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since

ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as

heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. <any> <believed> <ghost>

AC-19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized?

And they said, Unto John's baptism. <baptism> <baptized> <said>

AC-19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of

repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on

him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

AC-19:5 When they heard [this] , they were baptized in the name

of the Lord Jesus. <baptized> <heard> <jesus> <lord> <name>

AC-19:6 And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy

Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

AC-19:7 And all the men were about twelve. <all> <men> <twelve>

AC-19:8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the

space of three months, disputing and persuading the things

concerning the kingdom of God. <boldly> <concerning> <disputing>

AC-19:9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but

spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from

them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school

of one Tyrannus. <before> <believed> <daily> <departed>

AC-19:10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that

all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus,

both Jews and Greeks. <all> <asia> <both> <continued> <dwelt>

AC-19:11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

AC-19:12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick

handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them,

and the evil spirits went out of them. <aprons> <body> <brought>

AC-19:13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon

them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the

Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

AC-19:14 And there were seven sons of [one] Sceva, a Jew, [and]

chief of the priests, which did so. <chief> <did> <jew> <one>

AC-19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know,

and Paul I know; but who are ye? <answered> <are> <evil> <jesus>

AC-19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them,

and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled

out of that house naked and wounded. <against> <evil> <fled>

AC-19:17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also

dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of

the Lord Jesus was magnified. <all> <also> <dwelling> <ephesus>

AC-19:18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed

their deeds. <believed> <came> <confessed> <deeds> <many>

AC-19:19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their

books together, and burned them before all [men] :and they

counted the price of them, and found [it] fifty thousand

[pieces] of silver. <all> <also> <arts> <before> <books>

<which>

AC-19:20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. <god>

AC-19:21 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the

spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go

to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see

Rome. <after> <also> <been> <ended> <go> <had> <have>

AC-19:22 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered

unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia

for a season. <asia> <erastus> <him> <himself> <into>

AC-19:23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that

way. <arose> <no> <same> <small> <stir> <there> <time> <way>

AC-19:24 For a certain [man] named Demetrius, a silversmith,

which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto

the craftsmen; <brought> <certain> <craftsmen> <demetrius>

AC-19:25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like

occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have

our wealth. <called> <craft> <have> <know> <like> <occupation>

AC-19:26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus,

but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and

turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are

made with hands:<all> <almost> <alone> <are> <asia> <away>

AC-19:27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set

at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana

should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed,

whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. <all> <also> <asia>

AC-19:28 And when they heard [these sayings] , they were full of

wrath, and cried out, saying, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians.

AC-19:29 And the whole city was filled with confusion:and having

caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's

companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the

theatre. <aristarchus> <caught> <city> <companions> <confusion>

AC-19:30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people,

the disciples suffered him not. <disciples> <entered> <have>

AC-19:31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his

friends, sent unto him, desiring [him] that he would not

adventure himself into the theatre. <adventure> <asia> <certain>

AC-19:32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another:for

the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore

they were come together. <another> <assembly> <come> <confused>

AC-19:33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews

putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and

would have made his defence unto the people. <alexander>

AC-19:34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one

voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great [is] Diana

of the Ephesians. <all> <cried> <diana> <ephesians> <great>

AC-19:35 And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said,

[Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how

that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great

goddess Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?

AC-19:36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against,

ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. <against>

AC-19:37 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither

robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess. <are>

AC-19:38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are

with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and

there are deputies:let them implead one another. <against>

AC-19:39 But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters,

it shall be determined in a lawful assembly. <any> <assembly>

<thing>
