certain
disciple

there

named
Timotheus

son
of a
certain
woman

Jewess

believed

was a
Greek

Paul
have to go
forth

took

circumcised
him

quarters

knew

delivered

established

number
daily

down

appeared
to

night

over

called
us

gospel
unto

loosing
from

from

certain
days

went
out

side

prayer
was

to be
made

we sat
down
, and
spake
unto the
women

resorted
thither.

a
certain
woman
named
Lydia

heard
us:

heart

Lord
opened

spoken

besought

judged
me

be
faithful

Lord

come
into

house

abide
there.

constrained

it came to
pass

we
went
to
prayer

certain
damsel
possessed

divination
met
us

brought
her
masters
much
gain
by
soothsaying

cried

this
did
she
many
days

grieved

turned
and
said
to the
spirit

command
thee
in
the
name

Christ

come
out

he came
out

hour

masters
saw

drew

into

themselves

Paul

Jesus

the
Jews

envy

took unto

certain
lewd
fellows

gathered a
company
, and set
all
the
city
on an
uproar

assaulted
the
house

sought
to
bring

out

people

drew
Jason

Jesus

Berea

coming
thither
went
into

synagogue

Jews

These
were
more
noble
than those
in

received
the
word

all
readiness of
mind

searched
the
scriptures
daily

whether
those
things
were
so

up

spirit

stirred
in

wholly
given
to
idolatry

babbler
say
