ylt @Acts:12:1 @And about that time , Herod the king put forth his hands , to do evil to certain of those of the assembly , ylt @Acts:12:2 @and he killed James , the brother of John , with the sword , ylt @Acts:12:3 @and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews , he added to lay hold of Peter also -- and they were the days of the unleavened food -- ylt @Acts:12:4 @whom also having seized , he did put in prison , having delivered [him ] to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him , intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people . ylt @Acts:12:5 @Peter , therefore , indeed , was kept in the prison , and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him , ylt @Acts:12:6 @and when Herod was about to bring him forth , the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers , having been bound with two chains , guards also before the door were keeping the prison , ylt @Acts:12:7 @and lo , a messenger of the Lord stood by , and a light shone in the buildings , and having smitten Peter on the side , he raised him up , saying , 'Rise in haste ,' and his chains fell from off [his ] hands . ylt @Acts:12:8 @The messenger also said to him , 'Gird thyself , and bind on thy sandals ;' and he did so ; and he saith to him , 'Put thy garment round and be following me ;' ylt @Acts:12:9 @and having gone forth , he was following him , and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger , and was thinking he saw a vision , ylt @Acts:12:10 @and having passed through a first ward , and a second , they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city , which of its own accord did open to them , and having gone forth , they went on through one street , and immediately the messenger departed from him . ylt @Acts:12:11 @And Peter having come to himself , said , 'Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger , and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod , and all the expectation of the people of the Jews ;' ylt @Acts:12:12 @also , having considered , he came unto the house of Mary , the mother of John , who is surnamed Mark , where there were many thronged together and praying . ylt @Acts:12:13 @And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch , there came a damsel to hearken , by name Rhoda , ylt @Acts:12:14 @and having known the voice of Peter , from the joy she did not open the porch , but having run in , told of the standing of Peter before the porch , ylt @Acts:12:15 @and they said unto her , 'Thou art mad ;' and she was confidently affirming [it ] to be so , and they said , 'It is his messenger ;' ylt @Acts:12:16 @and Peter was continuing knocking , and having opened , they saw him , and were astonished , ylt @Acts:12:17 @and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent , he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison , and he said , 'Declare to James and to the brethren these things ;' and having gone forth , he went on to another place . ylt @Acts:12:18 @And day having come , there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter , ylt @Acts:12:19 @and Herod having sought for him , and not having found , having examined the guards , did command [them ] to be led away to punishment , and having gone down from Judea to Cesarea , he was abiding [there ]. ylt @Acts:12:20 @And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians , and with one accord they came unto him , and having made a friend of Blastus , who [is ] over the bed-chambers of the king , they were asking peace , because of their country being nourished from the king 's ; ylt @Acts:12:21 @and on a set day , Herod having arrayed himself in kingly apparel , and having sat down upon the tribunal , was making an oration unto them , ylt @Acts:12:22 @and the populace were shouting , 'The voice of a god , and not of a man ;' ylt @Acts:12:23 @and presently there smote him a messenger of the Lord , because he did not give the glory to God , and having been eaten of worms , he expired . ylt @Acts:12:24 @And the word of God did grow and did multiply , ylt @Acts:12:25 @and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem , having fulfilled the ministration , having taken also with [them ] John , who was surnamed Mark . ylt @Acts:13:1 @And there were certain in Antioch , in the assembly there , prophets and teachers ; both Barnabas , and Simeon who is called Niger , and Lucius the Cyrenian , Manaen also -- Herod the tetrarch 's foster-brother -- and Saul ; ylt @Acts:13:2 @and in their ministering to the Lord and fasting , the Holy Spirit said , 'Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them ,' ylt @Acts:13:3 @then having fasted , and having prayed , and having laid the hands on them , they sent [them ] away . ylt @Acts:13:4 @These , indeed , then , having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit , went down to Seleucia , thence also they sailed to Cyprus , ylt @Acts:13:5 @and having come unto Salamis , they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews , and they had also John [as ] a ministrant ; ylt @Acts:13:6 @and having gone through the island unto Paphos , they found a certain magian , a false prophet , a Jew , whose name [is ] Bar-Jesus ; ylt @Acts:13:7 @who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus , an intelligent man ; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul , did desire to hear the word of God , ylt @Acts:13:8 @and there withstood them Elymas the magian -- for so is his name interpreted -- seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith . ylt @Acts:13:9 @And Saul -- who also [is ] Paul -- having been filled with the Holy Spirit , and having looked stedfastly on him , ylt @Acts:13:10 @said , 'O full of all guile , and all profligacy , son of a devil , enemy of all righteousness , wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord ? ylt @Acts:13:11 @and now , lo , a hand of the Lord [is ] upon thee , and thou shalt be blind , not seeing the sun for a season ;' and presently there fell upon him a mist and darkness , and he , going about , was seeking some to lead [him ] by the hand ; ylt @Acts:13:12 @then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass , did believe , being astonished at the teaching of the Lord . ylt @Acts:13:13 @And those about Paul having set sail from Paphos , came to Perga of Pamphylia , and John having departed from them , did turn back to Jerusalem , ylt @Acts:13:14 @and they having gone through from Perga , came to Antioch of Pisidia , and having gone into the synagogue on the sabbath-day , they sat down , ylt @Acts:13:15 @and after the reading of the law and of the prophets , the chief men of the synagogue sent unto them , saying , 'Men , brethren , if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the people -- say on .' ylt @Acts:13:16 @And Paul having risen , and having beckoned with the hand , said , 'Men , Israelites , and those fearing God , hearken : ylt @Acts:13:17 @the God of this people Israel did choose our fathers , and the people He did exalt in their sojourning in the land of Egypt , and with an high arm did He bring them out of it ; ylt @Acts:13:18 @and about a period of forty years He did suffer their manners in the wilderness , ylt @Acts:13:19 @and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan , He did divide by lot to them their land . ylt @Acts:13:20 @'And after these things , about four hundred and fifty years , He gave judges -- till Samuel the prophet ; ylt @Acts:13:21 @and thereafter they asked for a king , and God did give to them Saul , son of Kish , a man of the tribe of Benjamin , for forty years ; ylt @Acts:13:22 @and having removed him , He did raise up to them David for king , to whom also having testified , he said , I found David , the [son ] of Jesse , a man according to My heart , who shall do all My will . ylt @Acts:13:23 @'Of this one 's seed God , according to promise , did raise to Israel a Saviour -- Jesus , ylt @Acts:13:24 @John having first preached , before his coming , a baptism of reformation to all the people of Israel ; ylt @Acts:13:25 @and as John was fulfilling the course , he said , Whom me do ye suppose to be ? I am not [he ], but , lo , he doth come after me , of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [his ] feet . ylt @Acts:13:26 @'Men , brethren , sons of the race of Abraham , and those among you fearing God , to you was the word of this salvation sent , ylt @Acts:13:27 @for those dwelling in Jerusalem , and their chiefs , this one not having known , also the voices of the prophets , which every sabbath are being read -- having judged [him ] -- did fulfill , ylt @Acts:13:28 @and no cause of death having found , they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain , ylt @Acts:13:29 @and when they did complete all the things written about him , having taken [him ] down from the tree , they laid him in a tomb ; ylt @Acts:13:30 @and God did raise him out of the dead , ylt @Acts:13:31 @and he was seen for many days of those who did come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem , who are his witnesses unto the people . ylt @Acts:13:32 @'And we to you do proclaim good news -- that the promise made unto the fathers , ylt @Acts:13:33 @God hath in full completed this to us their children , having raised up Jesus , as also in the second Psalm it hath been written , My Son thou art -- I to-day have begotten thee . ylt @Acts:13:34 @'And that He did raise him up out of the dead , no more to return to corruption , he hath said thus -- I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David ; ylt @Acts:13:35 @wherefore also in another [place ] he saith , Thou shalt not give Thy kind One to see corruption , ylt @Acts:13:36 @for David , indeed , his own generation having served by the will of God , did fall asleep , and was added unto his fathers , and saw corruption , ylt @Acts:13:37 @but he whom God did raise up , did not see corruption . ylt @Acts:13:38 @'Let it therefore be known to you , men , brethren , that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared , ylt @Acts:13:39 @and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous , in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous ; ylt @Acts:13:40 @see , therefore , it may not come upon you that hath been spoken in the prophets : ylt @Acts:13:41 @See , ye despisers , and wonder , and perish , because a work I -- I do work in your days , a work in which ye may not believe , though any one may declare [it ] to you .' ylt @Acts:13:42 @And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews , the nations were calling upon [them ] that on the next sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them , ylt @Acts:13:43 @and the synagogue having been dismissed , many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes did follow Paul and Barnabas , who , speaking to them , were persuading them to remain in the grace of God . ylt @Acts:13:44 @And on the coming sabbath , almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God , ylt @Acts:13:45 @and the Jews having seen the multitudes , were filled with zeal , and did contradict the things spoken by Paul -- contradicting and speaking evil . ylt @Acts:13:46 @And speaking boldly , Paul and Barnabas said , 'To you it was necessary that first the word of God be spoken , and seeing ye do thrust it away , and do not judge yourselves worthy of the life age-during , lo , we do turn to the nations ; ylt @Acts:13:47 @for so hath the Lord commanded us : I have set thee for a light of nations -- for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth .' ylt @Acts:13:48 @And the nations hearing were glad , and were glorifying the word of the Lord , and did believe -- as many as were appointed to life age-during ; ylt @Acts:13:49 @and the word of the Lord was spread abroad through all the region . ylt @Acts:13:50 @And the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women , and the first men of the city , and did raise persecution against Paul and Barnabas , and did put them out from their borders ; ylt @Acts:13:51 @and they having shaken off the dust of their feet against them , came to Iconium , ylt @Acts:13:52 @and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit . ylt @Acts:14:1 @And it came to pass in Iconium , that they did enter together into the synagogue of the Jews , and spake , so that there believed both of Jews and Greeks a great multitude ;
