  said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.

• Acts 14:14

  But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes, and sprang into the multitude, crying out,

• Acts 14:15

  “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

• Acts 14:21

  When they had preached the Good News to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

• Acts 14:22

  confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

• Acts 15:1

  Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”

  Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.

• Acts 15:4

  When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all things that God had done with them.

• Acts 15:12

  All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.

• Acts 15:22

  Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.

• Acts 15:25

  it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

• Acts 15:36

  After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”

• Acts 15:37

  Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.

• Acts 15:38

  But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.

• Acts 15:39

  Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,

• Acts 15:40

  but Paul chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

• Acts 15:41

  He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.

• Acts 16:1

  He came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed; but his father was a Greek.

• Acts 16:2

  The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.

• Acts 16:3

  Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

• Acts 16:4

  As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

• Acts 16:5

  So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

• Acts 16:6

  When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

• Acts 16:7

  When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.

• Acts 16:8

  Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

• Acts 16:9

  A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”

• Acts 16:10

  When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.

• Acts 16:11

  Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

• Acts 16:12

  and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.

• Acts 16:13

  On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.

• Acts 16:14

  A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.

• Acts 16:15

  When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay.” So she persuaded us.

• Acts 16:16

  As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.

• Acts 16:17

  Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”

• Acts 16:18

  She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.

• Acts 16:19

  But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.

• Acts 16:20

  When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,

• Acts 16:21

  and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”

• Acts 16:22

  The multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.

• Acts 16:23

  When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,

• Acts 16:24

  who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.

• Acts 16:25

  But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

• Acts 16:26

  Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.

• Acts 16:27

  The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

• Acts 16:28

  But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”

• Acts 16:29

  He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,

• Acts 16:30

  brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

• Acts 16:31

  They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

• Acts 16:32

  They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.

• Acts 16:33

  He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.

• Acts 16:34

  He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.

• Acts 16:35

  But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”

• Acts 16:36

  The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace.”

• Acts 16:37

  But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”

• Acts 16:38

  The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

• Acts 16:39

  and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.

• Acts 16:40

  They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.

• Acts 17:1

  Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

• Acts 17:2

  Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

• Acts 17:3

  explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”

• Acts 17:4

  Some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.

• Acts 17:5

  But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.

• Acts 17:6

  When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

• Acts 17:7

  whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”

• Acts 17:8

  The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.

• Acts 17:9

  When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

• Acts 17:10

  The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

• Acts 17:11

  Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

• Acts 17:12

  Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.

• Acts 17:13

  But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.

• Acts 17:14

  Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

• Acts 17:15

  But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.

• Acts 17:16

  Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

• Acts 17:17

  So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.

• Acts 17:18

  Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

• Acts 17:19

  They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?

• Acts 17:20

  For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”

• Acts 17:21

  Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

• Acts 17:22

  Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.

• Acts 17:23

  For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.

• Acts 17:24

  The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands,

• Acts 17:25

  neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

• Acts 17:26

  He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,

• Acts 17:27

  that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

• Acts 17:28

  ‘For in him we live, and move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

• Acts 17:29

  Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

• Acts 17:30

  The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

• Acts 17:31

  because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

• Acts 17:32

  Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

• Acts 17:33

  Thus Paul went out from among them.

• Acts 17:34

  But certain men joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

• Acts 18:1

  After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

• Acts 18:2

  He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,

• Acts 18:3

  and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.

• Acts 18:4

  He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
