lont Acts:1:4-8




lont@Acts:1:4 @ And having assembled them together, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, said he,

lont@Acts:1:5" />

lont@Acts:1:6 @ They, therefore, being assembled together, asked him, saying, Lord, wilt thou, at this time, restore the kingdom to Israel?

lont@Acts:1:7 @ But he said to them,

lont@Acts:1:8" />

lont@Acts:1:9 @ And, having said these things, while they beheld, he was lifted up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

lont@Acts:1:10 @ And while they were steadfastly looking up to heaven, as he ascended, behold two men in white raiment stood near them;

lont@Acts:1:11 @ who also said, Galileans, why do you stand gazing up to heaven? This Jesus, who is taken up from you into heaven, shall also come in the same manner as you have seen him going to heaven.

lont@Acts:1:12 @ Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a Sabbath day's journey.

lont@Acts:1:13 @ And when they were come into the city, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, son of Alpheus, and Simon, the Zealot, and Judas, brother of James.

lont@Acts:1:14 @ These all unanimously persevered in prayer, with the women, and with Mary, the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

lont@Acts:1:15 @ And in these days, Peter, rising up in the midst of the disciples, (now the number of persons assembled was about a hundred and twenty,) said

lont@Acts:1:16 @ Brethren, it was necessary this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit formerly spoke, by the mouth of David, with respect to Judas, who became the guide of those that apprehended Jesus:

lont@Acts:1:17 @ (for he was numbered with us, and had obtained a part of this ministry:)

lont@Acts:1:18 @ this man, therefore, purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, and falling down on his face, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out:

lont@Acts:1:19 @ and it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that field is called, in their language, Aceldama, that is, The Field of Blood.

lont@Acts:1:20 @ «For it is written in the book of Psalms,'Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it': and,» 'Let another take his office.'

lont@Acts:1:21 @ It is necessary, therefore, that one of the men who have continued with us all the time the Lord Jesus was conversant among us,

lont@Acts:1:22 @ commencing from his immersion by John, until the day of his assumption, should be constituted a witness with us, of his resurrection.

lont@Acts:1:23 @ And they set up two men, Joseph, called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

lont@Acts:1:24 @ And they prayed, saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, show which of these two thou hast chosen,

lont@Acts:1:25 @ that he may take part of the ministry and apostleship, from which Judas fell by transgression, that he might goes to his own place.

lont@Acts:1:26 @ And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.

lont@Acts:10:1 @ Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion that called the Italian Band,

lont@Acts:10:2 @ a man of piety, and one that feared God, with all his house; giving, also, much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.

lont@Acts:10:3 @ He evidently saw, in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius!

lont@Acts:10:4 @ And having fixed his eyes upon him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms are come up, as a memorial before God.

lont@Acts:10:5 @ And now send men to Joppa and bring hither Simon, whose surname is Peter:

lont@Acts:10:6 @ he lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.

lont@Acts:10:7 @ As soon as the messenger, who spoke to Cornelius, was gone, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, of them that waited upon him;

lont@Acts:10:8 @ and having related to them all these things, he sent them to Joppa.

lont@Acts:10:9 @ On the next day, while they were on their journey, and drew near the city, Peter went up to the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

lont@Acts:10:10 @ And he was hungry, and would have taken a little refreshment; but while they were preparing, he fell into an ecstasy;

lont@Acts:10:11 @ and he saw heaven opened, and something descending like a great sheet, fastened at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

lont@Acts:10:12 @ in which there were all sorts of things, even four-footed animals of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and fowls of the air.

lont@Acts:10:13 @ And there came a voice to him,

lont@Acts:10:14 @ But Peter said, By no means, Lord; for I have never eat anything which is common or unclean.

lont@Acts:10:15 @ And the voice said to him again, the second time,

lont@Acts:10:16 @ And this was done three times, and the sheet was taken up again into heaven.

lont@Acts:10:17 @ While Peter was pondering in himself, what the vision, which he had seen, might import; behold, the men, who were sent from Cornelius, having inquired out the house of Simon, stood at the door;

lont@Acts:10:18 @ and calling, they asked, if Simon, whose surname was Peter, lodged there.

lont@Acts:10:19 @ Now, as Peter was reflecting on this vision; the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men are inquiring for you:

lont@Acts:10:20 @ arise, therefore, go down, and go with them without hesitation; for I have sent them.

lont@Acts:10:21 @ Then Peter went down to the men, who were sent to him from Cornelius, and said, Behold, I am the man whom you seek; what is the cause of your coming?

lont@Acts:10:22 @ And they said, Cornelius, the centurion, a righteous man, who fears God, and has a character attested by all the Jewish people, has been instructed, by a holy messenger, to send for you to his house, and to hear words from you.

lont@Acts:10:23 @ Having, therefore, called them in, he entertained them, and the next day set out with them: and some of the brethren, who were of Joppa, went with him.

lont@Acts:10:24 @ And the next day they entered into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relations and intimate friends.

lont@Acts:10:25 @ Now, as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and prostrating himself at his feet, made obeisance.

lont@Acts:10:26 @ But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also am a man.

lont@Acts:10:27 @ And discoursing with him, he went in, and found many gathered together.

lont@Acts:10:28 @ And he said to them, You know that it is unlawful for a man that is a Jew to join with, or to come into the house of, one of another nation; nevertheless, God has shown me that I am to call no man common or unclean.

lont@Acts:10:29 @ Wherefore, when I was sent for, I came without debate: I ask, therefore, on what account you have sent for me?

lont@Acts:10:30 @ And Cornelius said, Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house; and, behold, a man stood before me in bright raiment,

lont@Acts:10:31 @ and said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are remembered before God:

lont@Acts:10:32 @ send, therefore, to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodges in the house of one Simon, a tanner, by the seaside; who, when he is come, shall speak to you.

lont@Acts:10:33 @ Immediately, therefore, I sent to you, and you have done well in coming. Now, therefore, we are all here present before God, to hear all things which God has given to you in charge.

lont@Acts:10:34 @ Then Peter, opening his mouth, said, Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons;

lont@Acts:10:35 @ but, in every nation, he that fears him, and works of righteousness, is acceptable to him.

lont@Acts:10:36 @ This is that message which he sent to the children of Israel; proclaiming the glad tidings of peace by Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

lont@Acts:10:37 @ You know the report there was, through all Judea, which began from Galilee, after the immersion which John preached,

lont@Acts:10:38 @ concerning Jesus of Nazareth; how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit, and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.

lont@Acts:10:39 @ And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem: whom they slew, hanging him on a tree.

lont@Acts:10:40 @ This very person God raised up, on the third day, and granted him to become manifest;

lont@Acts:10:41 @ not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, even to us, who have eat and drunk with him after he arose from the dead.

lont@Acts:10:42 @ And he has given in charge to us to proclaim to the people, and to testify that it is he who is appointed by God, to be the judge of the living and the dead.

lont@Acts:10:43 @ To him all the prophets bear witness, that every one who believes on him, shall receive forgiveness of sins by his name.

lont@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were hearing the word:

lont@Acts:10:45 @ and they of the circumcision, who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished that the gift of the Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also:

lont@Acts:10:46 @ for they heard them speaking in diverse languages, and glorifying God.

lont@Acts:10:47 @ Then Peter answered, Can any one forbid water, that these persons should not be immersed, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?

lont@Acts:10:48 @ And he ordered them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. And they entreated him to continue with them several days.

lont@Acts:11:1 @ Now the Apostles and brethren who were in Jerusalem, heard, that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

lont@Acts:11:2 @ And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they who were of the circumcision contended with him,

lont@Acts:11:3 @ saying, You did go in to men who were uncircumcised, and did eat with them.

lont@Acts:11:4 @ And Peter beginning, opened to them the matter in order, saying,

lont@Acts:11:5 @ I was praying in the city of Joppa; and, in a trance, I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending from heaven, let down by the four corners, and it came close to me:

lont@Acts:11:6 @ and looking attentively upon it, I observed, and saw four-footed creatures of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and fowls of the air:

lont@Acts:11:7 @ and I heard a voice saying to me,

lont@Acts:11:8 @ but I said, By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.

lont@Acts:11:9 @ And the voice answered me the second time from heaven,

lont@Acts:11:10 @ And this was done three times. And all the things were drawn up again into heaven.

lont@Acts:11:11 @ And behold, at that instant, three men were come to the house in which I was, sent from Caesarea to me.

lont@Acts:11:12 @ And the Spirit commanded me to go with them, without any scruple: and these six brethren also went along with me. And we entered into the man's house:

lont@Acts:11:13 @ and he told us how he had seen a messenger standing in his house, and saying to him, Send to Joppa, and bring hither Simon, whose surname is Peter;

lont@Acts:11:14 @ who shall speak words to you, by which you and all your family shall be saved.

lont@Acts:11:15 @ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as on us at the beginning.

lont@Acts:11:16 @ And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said,

lont@Acts:11:17 @ Since, therefore, God gave to them the same gift as he did to us, who had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I should be able to obstruct God?

lont@Acts:11:18 @ And when they heard these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God; saying, God has, then, given to the Gentile also reformation to life.

lont@Acts:11:19 @ Now, indeed, those who had been dispersed, on account of the distress which arose about Stephen, had traveled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews only.

lont@Acts:11:20 @ Yet some of the, being men of Cyprus, and Cyrene; when they came to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, announcing the glad tidings concerning the Lord Jesus.

lont@Acts:11:21 @ And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.

lont@Acts:11:22 @ And the report concerning them came to the ears of the congregation that was at Jerusalem; and they sent Barnabas, to go as far as Antioch.

lont@Acts:11:23 @ Who, when he was come, and beheld the favor of God, rejoiced, and exhorted them all to adhere to the Lord, with full determination of heart;

lont@Acts:11:24 @ for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith: and a considerable number were added to the Lord.

lont@Acts:11:25 @ Then Barnabas went to Tarsus, to seek Saul;

lont@Acts:11:26 @ and finding him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that they assembled with the congregation, for a whole year, and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first named Christians at Antioch.

lont@Acts:11:27 @ And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

lont@Acts:11:28 @ And one of them, whose name was Agabus, stood up, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be a great famine over all the land: which came to pass in the days of Claudius.

lont@Acts:11:29 @ And the disciples determined, that, according to the respective abilities of each, they should send to the assistance of the brethren who dwelt in Judea.

lont@Acts:11:30 @ And this they did, sending it to the elders, by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

lont@Acts:12:1 @ Now, about that time, Herod, the king, laid hands on some of the congregation, to afflict them.

lont@Acts:12:2 @ And he slew James, the brother of John, with the sword.

lont@Acts:12:3 @ And as he saw that this was acceptable to the Jews, he went on to seize Peter also: and it was in the days of unleavened bread;

lont@Acts:12:4 @ and having seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to the custody of four quaternions of soldiers, intending, after the passover, to bring him out to the people.

lont@Acts:12:5 @ In the meantime, therefore, Peter was kept in the prison; but earnest and continued prayer was made to God on his account, by the congregation.

lont@Acts:12:6 @ And when Herod was ready to have brought him out, even that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.

lont@Acts:12:7 @ And, behold, a messenger of the Lord presented himself, and a light shone in the house; giving Peter a blow on the side, he awoke him, saying, Arise quickly: and his chains fell off from his hands.

lont@Acts:12:8 @ And the messenger said to him, Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals; and he did so. And he said to him, Throw your mantle round you, and follow me.

lont@Acts:12:9 @ And going out he followed him; and he did not know that what was done by the messenger was real; but supposed that he had seen a vision.

lont@Acts:12:10 @ And passing through the first and second watch, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city; which opened to them of its own accord. And going out, they went through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him.

lont@Acts:12:11 @ And Peter, being come to himself, said, Now I know truly, that the Lord has sent his messenger, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all the expectations of the Jewish people.

lont@Acts:12:12 @ And recollecting, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark; where many were gathered together, praying.

lont@Acts:12:13 @ And as Peter knocked at the door of the outer gate, a maiden, whose name was Rose, went to inquire who was there.

lont@Acts:12:14 @ And knowing Peter's voice, transported with joy, she did not open the gate: but running in, told them that Peter was standing at the gate.

lont@Acts:12:15 @ And they said to her, You are distracted: but she confidently affirmed that it was so.

lont@Acts:12:16 @ But Peter continued knocking; and when she opened the door, they saw him, and were astonished.

lont@Acts:12:17 @ And he made a sign to them with his hand to be silent; and related to them how the Lord had conducted him out of prison. And he aid, Inform James and the brethren of these things: and departing, he went to another place.

lont@Acts:12:18 @ And as soon as it was day, there was no small tumult among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.

lont@Acts:12:19 @ And Herod searching for him, and not finding him, examined the keeper, and ordered them to be led away to execution. and passing from Judea to Caesarea, he abode there.

lont@Acts:12:20 @ And he was highly incensed against the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they unanimously came before him; and gaining Blastus, the king's chamberlain, to their interest, they begged for peace; because their country was nourished by that of the king.

lont@Acts:12:21 @ And upon a set day, Herod, being arrayed in a royal habit, and seated upon the throne, made an oration to them.

lont@Acts:12:22 @ And the people cried out, It is the voice of a God, and not of a man!

lont@Acts:12:23 @ But immediately a messenger of the Lord smote him, because he did not give glory to God: and being eaten with worms, he expired.

lont@Acts:12:24 @ And the word of God grew and was multiplied.

lont@Acts:12:25 @ And Barnabas and Saul, having fulfilled their ministry, returned from Jerusalem; bringing along with them John, whose surname was Mark.

lont@Acts:13:1 @ Now, there were in the congregation that was at Antioch, certain prophets and teachers; particularly, Barnabas, and Simeon, who was called Niger, and Lucius, the Cyrenian, and Manaen, who was educated with Herod, the tetrarch, and Saul.

lont@Acts:13:2 @ And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate to me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.

lont@Acts:13:3 @ And having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them; they dismissed them.

lont@Acts:13:4 @ They, therefore, being sent by the Holy Spirit, departed to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus;

lont@Acts:13:5 @ and being arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they had also John for their attendant.

lont@Acts:13:6 @ And having traversed the island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain Jew, a magician and false prophet, whose name was Barjesus;

lont@Acts:13:7 @ who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who calling for Barnabas and Saul desired to hear the word of God.

lont@Acts:13:8 @ But Elymas, the magician, (for that was his name, when translated,) withstood them, endeavoring to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

lont@Acts:13:9 @ Then Saul, (who is also called Paul,) being filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking steadfastly upon him,

lont@Acts:13:10 @ said, O! full of all deceit, and of all wickedness! child of the devil! enemy of all righteousness! will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

lont@Acts:13:11 @ And, behold, now the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, and not see the sun for a time. And, immediately, a mist and darkness fell upon him; and going about, he sought some to lead him by the hand.

lont@Acts:13:12 @ Then the proconsul, seeing what was done, believed; being struck with the doctrine of the Lord.

lont@Acts:13:13 @ And loosing from Paphos, they who were with Paul, came to Perga, in Pamphylia; but John withdrew himself from them, and returned to Jerusalem.

lont@Acts:13:14 @ Nevertheless, they, going on from Perga, came to Antioch, in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.

lont@Acts:13:15 @ And after the reading of the law and the prophets; the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to the people, speak it.

lont@Acts:13:16 @ Then Paul stood up, and waiving his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you that fear God, hearken.

lont@Acts:13:17 @ The God of this people chose our fathers, and raised the people while sojourning in the land of Egypt; and led them out of it with an uplifted arm.

lont@Acts:13:18 @ And for a space of about forty years, he endured their behavior in the wilderness.

lont@Acts:13:19 @ And having cast out seven nations in the land of Canaan, he distributed their country to them for an inheritance.

lont@Acts:13:20 @ And after these transactions, which lasted about four hundred and fifty years' he gave them judges, till Samuel the prophet.

lont@Acts:13:21 @ And, from that time, they desired a king: and God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the term of forty years.

lont@Acts:13:22 @ «And, having removed him, he raised up to them David, for a king; whom also he extolled, and said,» 'I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my will.'

lont@Acts:13:23 @ Of this man's seed, according to the promise, God raised up to Israel, Jesus, the Saviour;

lont@Acts:13:24 @ John having, to introduce his appearance, before he preached the immersion of reformation to all the people of Israel.

lont@Acts:13:25 @ And when John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do you imagine me to be? I am not He; but behold, there comes one after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

lont@Acts:13:26 @ Brethren, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God; to you is the word of this salvation sent:

lont@Acts:13:27 @ for the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the sayings of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath day; have fulfilled them in condemning him.

lont@Acts:13:28 @ And though they could find no cause of death in him; yet they requested Pilate that he might be executed.

lont@Acts:13:29 @ And when they had accomplished all things that were written concerning him; taking him down from the cross, they laid him in a tomb.

lont@Acts:13:30 @ But God raised him up from the dead:

lont@Acts:13:31 @ and he appeared for several days to those that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

lont@Acts:13:32 @ And we bring you good tidings, that the very promise which was made to the fathers,

lont@Acts:13:33 @ «God has accomplished to us, their children, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm,» 'Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.'

lont@Acts:13:34 @ «And because he has raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus,» 'I will give you the sure mercies of David.'

lont@Acts:13:35 @ «Wherefore, also, in another place he says,» 'Thou wilt not permit thy Holy One to see corruption.'

lont@Acts:13:36 @ Now David, having served his own generation according to the will of God; fell asleep, and was gathered to his fathers, and saw corruption.

lont@Acts:13:37 @ But he whom God raised up, did not see corruption.

lont@Acts:13:38 @ Be it known, therefore, to you, brethren, that by Him remission of sins is proclaimed to you:

lont@Acts:13:39 @ and by Him, every one that believes is justified from all things; from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

lont@Acts:13:40 @ See to it, therefore, that what is spoken in the prophets may not come upon you:

lont@Acts:13:41 @ «Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I perform a work in your days; a work which you will not believe, though one should distinctly declare it to you.»

lont@Acts:13:42 @ Now, when going out, they requested that these words might be spoken to them, on the following Sabbath.

lont@Acts:13:43 @ And when the synagogue was broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, persuaded them to persevere in the favor of God.

lont@Acts:13:44 @ And, on the following Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together, to hear the word of God.

lont@Acts:13:45 @ But the Jews, seeing the multitudes, were filled with zeal; and opposed the things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.

lont@Acts:13:46 @ Then Paul and Barnabas, with great freedom of speech, said, It was necessary, that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but since you thrust it away from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life; behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

lont@Acts:13:47 @ «For so the Lord has charged us, saying,» 'I have set you for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.'

lont@Acts:13:48 @ And the Gentiles hearing this, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were disposed for eternal life, believed.

lont@Acts:13:49 @ And the word of the Lord was published throughout all that region.

lont@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews stirred up some devout women of considerable rank, and the magistrates of the city; and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their territories.

lont@Acts:13:51 @ And they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

lont@Acts:13:52 @ But the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit.

lont@Acts:14:1 @ And it came to pass at Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke in such a manner that a great multitude, both of the Jews and of the Greeks, believed.

lont@Acts:14:2 @ But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the minds of the Gentiles, and filled them with malignity against the brethren.

lont@Acts:14:3 @ They, however, staid there a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord; who gave attestation to the word of his grace, and granted signs and miracles to be done by their hands.

lont@Acts:14:4 @ So the multitude of the city was divided; and some were with the Jews, and others with the Apostles.

lont@Acts:14:5 @ But, as a violent attempt was made, both by the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to assault and stone them;

lont@Acts:14:6 @ they, having received intelligence of it, fled to Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the adjacent country:

lont@Acts:14:7 @ and there they declared the glad tidings.

lont@Acts:14:8 @ Now, there was a certain man at Lystra, disabled in his feet; so lame, from his birth, that he had never walked.

lont@Acts:14:9 @ This man heard Paul speaking, who, fixing his eyes upon him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed;

lont@Acts:14:10 @ said, with a loud voice, Stand upright on your feet. And he leaped up, and walked.

lont@Acts:14:11 @ And the multitude, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voices, saying, in the Lycaonian language, The gods are descended to us in the likeness of men.

lont@Acts:14:12 @ And Barnabas they called Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.

lont@Acts:14:13 @ And the priest of Jupiter, whose image was before the city, brought oxen, with garlands, to the gates; and would, with the multitude, have offered sacrifice to them.

lont@Acts:14:14 @ But the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, hearing of it, rent their mantles, and ran in among the multitude, crying out,

lont@Acts:14:15 @ and saying, Men, why do you these things? We are your fellow-mortals, and are declaring the glad tidings to you, that you may turn from these vanities to the living God; who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all living things which are in them:

lont@Acts:14:17 @ though he did not leave himself without witness, doing good, and giving us showers of rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

lont@Acts:14:18 @ And, saying these things, they, with difficulty, restrained the people from sacrificing to them.

lont@Acts:14:19 @ But Jews came thither from Antioch and Iconium, and persuaded the multitude; and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

lont@Acts:14:20 @ But, as the disciples were gathered about him, he rose up, and entered into the city; and the next day he departed, with Barnabas, to Derbe.

lont@Acts:14:21 @ And having declared the gospel to that city, and made a considerable number of disciples; they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,

lont@Acts:14:22 @ confirming the souls of the disciples; exhorting them to continue in the faith, and testifying that it is necessary we should enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations.

lont@Acts:14:23 @ And when they had constituted elders for them, in every congregation, having prayed to God, with fasting; they committed them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

lont@Acts:14:24 @ And passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

lont@Acts:14:25 @ And having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

lont@Acts:14:26 @ And they sailed thence to Antioch, whence they had been recommended to the grace of God, for that work which they had accomplished.

lont@Acts:14:27 @ And when they were come thither, and had gathered the congregation together, they related what God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

lont@Acts:14:28 @ And they spent a considerable time there with the disciples.

lont@Acts:15:1 @ In the meantime, some, who came down from Judea, taught the brethren, Except you be circumcised, according to the manner of Moses, you can not be saved.

lont@Acts:15:2 @ There being, therefore, a contention, and no small debate with them, on the part of Paul and Barnabas; they resolved that Paul and Barnabas, and some others of their number, should go up to the Apostles and elders at Jerusalem, about this question.

lont@Acts:15:3 @ They, therefore, being brought forward on their journey, by the congregation, went through Phenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they occasioned great joy to all the brethren.

lont@Acts:15:4 @ And being arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the congregation, and by the Apostles and elders: and they related what things God had done with them.

lont@Acts:15:5 @ But some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, rose up and said, that it was necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses.

lont@Acts:15:6 @ And the Apostles and elders were gathered together to consult upon this affair.

lont@Acts:15:7 @ And after much debate, Peter rose up and said to them, Brethren, you know that, some considerable time since, God among us, chose, that the Gentiles, by my mouth, should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

lont@Acts:15:8 @ And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did to us:

lont@Acts:15:9 @ and made no distinction between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.

lont@Acts:15:10 @ Now, therefore, why do you tempt God by imposing on the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

lont@Acts:15:11 @ But we believe that we are saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they.

lont@Acts:15:12 @ And the whole multitude kept silence, and attended to Barnabas and Paul; relating what signs and wonders God had done among the heathen, by them.

lont@Acts:15:13 @ Then after they had done speaking, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken to me.

lont@Acts:15:14 @ Simeon has been relating how God first looked down on the Gentiles, to take from among them a people for his name.

lont@Acts:15:15 @ And the words of the prophets harmonize with this; as it is written,

lont@Acts:15:16 @ «After this, I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; yes, I will rebuild its ruins, and set it upright again:»

lont@Acts:15:17 @ that the remainder of men may seek the Lord, even all the heathen upon whom my name is called,

lont@Acts:15:18 @ «says the Lord,» 'who does all these things, known to him from the beginning.'

lont@Acts:15:19 @ Wherefore, my judgment is not to disquiet those who, from among the Gentiles, are converted to God;

lont@Acts:15:20 @ but to write to them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from that which is strangled, and from blood.

lont@Acts:15:21 @ For Moses has, from ancient generations, those who preach him, in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.

lont@Acts:15:22 @ Then it seemed good to the Apostles and elders, and all the congregation, to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, chosen men from among themselves, namely, Judas, surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, men of principal account among the brethren;

lont@Acts:15:23 @ writing by their hands these things: The Apostles, and elders, and brethren, to the brethren from among the Gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, greeting:

lont@Acts:15:24 @ Forasmuch as we have been informed that, some going out from among us, to whom we gave no commission, have troubled you with discourses, unsettling your minds, saying, that you must be circumcised, and keep the law:

lont@Acts:15:25 @ we, being unanimously assembled, have thought proper to send you chosen men, with out beloved Barnabas and Paul;

lont@Acts:15:26 @ men that have exposed their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

lont@Acts:15:27 @ We have, therefore, sent Judas and Silas, who will also tell you by word of mouth, the same things.

lont@Acts:15:28 @ For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to impose no further burden upon you besides these necessary things;

lont@Acts:15:29 @ that you abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from anything strangled, and from fornication: from which you will do well to keep yourselves. Farewell.

lont@Acts:15:30 @ They, therefore, being dismissed, came to Antioch; and assembling the multitude, delivered the epistle.

lont@Acts:15:31 @ And when they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation it brought.

lont@Acts:15:32 @ And Judas and Silas, being also prophets themselves; in a copious discourse, exhorted and strengthened the brethren.

lont@Acts:15:33 @ And, having made some stay, they were dismissed with peace from the brethren to the Apostles.

lont@Acts:15:34 @ But Silas thought proper to continue there.

lont@Acts:15:35 @ Paul also, and Barnabas, with many others, continued at Antioch; teaching and declaring the good word of the Lord.

lont@Acts:15:36 @ And, after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return and visit the brethren in all the cities in which we have published the word of the Lord; and see how they do.

lont@Acts:15:37 @ And Barnabas determined to take along with them John, surnamed Mark.

lont@Acts:15:38 @ But Peter did not think proper to take with them that person who had withdrawn himself from them from Pamphylia; and went not with them to the work.

lont@Acts:15:39 @ There was, therefore, a sharp fit of anger, so that they separated from each other; and Barnabas, taking Mark along with him, sailed to Cyprus.

lont@Acts:15:40 @ But Paul made choice of Silas, and departed; being commended to the grace of God, by the brethren.

lont@Acts:15:41 @ And he went through Syria and Cilicia confirming the congregations;

lont@Acts:16:1 @ and came to Derbe and Lystra; and, behold, a certain disciple was there, whose name was Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but of a Grecian father;

lont@Acts:16:2 @ who had an honorable character given by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.

lont@Acts:16:3 @ Him Paul would have to go forth with him: and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places: for they all knew his father, that he was a Greek.

lont@Acts:16:4 @ And as they passed through the cities, they delivered to their custody the decrees, which were determined by the Apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.

lont@Acts:16:5 @ The congregations, therefore, were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number daily.

lont@Acts:16:6 @ And they went through Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, and being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

lont@Acts:16:7 @ when they were come to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia; but the spirit did not permit them.

lont@Acts:16:8 @ And passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.

lont@Acts:16:9 @ And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There stood a certain Macedonia, entreating him, and saying, Come over to Macedonia, and help us.

lont@Acts:16:10 @ And as soon as he had seen this vision, we immediately endeavored to go to Macedonia; assuredly inferring, that the Lord had called us to declare the gospel to them.

lont@Acts:16:11 @ Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran directly to Samothracia; and the next day to Neapolis;

lont@Acts:16:12 @ and came thence to Philippi, which is a city of the first part of Macedonia, a colony: and we continued in this city for some days.

lont@Acts:16:13 @ And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the side of the river, according to the custom, where was an oratory; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled there.

lont@Acts:16:14 @ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, heard the discourse: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things which were spoken by Paul.

lont@Acts:16:15 @ And when she was immersed, with her family, she entreated us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, enter into my house, and continue there. And she compelled us.

lont@Acts:16:16 @ Now it came to pass, that as we were going to the oratory, we were met by a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of divination, who brought her owners much gain by prophesying:

lont@Acts:16:17 @ the same, following after Paul and us, cried out, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who declare to you the way of salvation.

lont@Acts:16:18 @ And this she did for several days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out of her. And it went out that very hour.

lont@Acts:16:19 @ But when her owners saw that the hope of their gain was gone; laying hold of Paul and Silas, they dragged them to the market place, to the magistrates:

lont@Acts:16:20 @ and having brought them to the generals of the army, they said, These men, who are Jews, mightily disturb our city;

lont@Acts:16:21 @ and teach customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and practice, being Romans.

lont@Acts:16:22 @ And the populace rose up together against them; and the generals tearing off their garments, commanded them to be beaten with rods.

lont@Acts:16:23 @ And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely.

lont@Acts:16:24 @ Who, having received such a strict charge, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet fast in the stocks.

lont@Acts:16:25 @ But at midnight, Paul and Silas having prayed, sung a hymn to God: and the prisoners heard them.

lont@Acts:16:26 @ And, on a sudden, there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prisoner were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all the prisoners were loosed.

lont@Acts:16:27 @ And the jailor, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, drew his sword, and was going to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners were fled.

lont@Acts:16:28 @ But Paul cried out, with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.

lont@Acts:16:29 @ And he called for lights, and sprung in; and, being in a tremor, fell down before Paul and Silas;

lont@Acts:16:30 @ and, bringing them out, he said, O Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

lont@Acts:16:31 @ And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house.

lont@Acts:16:32 @ And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

lont@Acts:16:33 @ And taking them, that very hour of the night, he washed their stripes; and was immediately immersed, himself, and all his.

lont@Acts:16:34 @ And having brought them into his house, he spread the table before them: and believing in the God, with all his house, he was transported with joy.

lont@Acts:16:35 @ And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Dismiss those men.

lont@Acts:16:36 @ And the keeper of the prison told these things to Paul, The generals have sent that you may be dismissed; now, therefore, go out, and pursue your journey in peace.

lont@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, They have beaten us, who are Romans, publicly and uncondemned, and have cast us into prison; and do they now thrust us out privately? By no means: but let them come themselves, and conduct us out.

lont@Acts:16:38 @ And the sergeants reported these words to the generals. And when they had heard that they were Romans, they were afraid:

lont@Acts:16:39 @ and they came and comforted them; and conducting them out, requested that they would depart from the city.

lont@Acts:16:40 @ And coming out of the prison, they entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

lont@Acts:17:1 @ And taking their journey through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica; where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

lont@Acts:17:2 @ And according to Paul's custom, he entered in among them, and discoursed to them for three Sabbaths from the scriptures;

lont@Acts:17:3 @ opening them, and evidently showing that the Messiah ought to suffer, and to rise from the dead; and that this is the Messiah, even Jesus, whom I declare to you.

lont@Acts:17:4 @ And some of them believed, and adhered to Paul and Silas; besides, a considerable number of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the principal women.

lont@Acts:17:5 @ But the unbelieving Jews, filled with zeal, gathered together some mean and profligate fellows, and making a mob, threw the city into a tumult; and assaulting the house of Jason, endeavored to bring them out to the people.

lont@Acts:17:6 @ But not finding them, they dragged Jason, and some of the brethren to the magistrates of the city, crying out, These men, that have turned the world upside down, are come hither, also;

lont@Acts:17:7 @ and Jason has privately received them. And all these men act contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.

lont@Acts:17:8 @ And they alarmed the multitude and the magistrates of the city, when they heard these things.

lont@Acts:17:9 @ And having taken security of Jason, and the rest, they dismissed them.

lont@Acts:17:10 @ But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas, by night, to Berea: and when they came thither, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

lont@Acts:17:11 @ Now these were of a more noble disposition that those of Thessalonica: for they received the word with all readiness of mind, daily examining the scriptures, whether those things were so.

lont@Acts:17:12 @ Many of them, therefore, believed; both of the Grecian women of considerable rank, and of the men not a few.

lont@Acts:17:13 @ But as soon as some of the Jews of Thessalonica understood that the word of God was announced by Paul at Berea, they came thither, also, exciting the populace.

lont@Acts:17:14 @ And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, as if he were to go by sea. But Silas and Timothy continued there.

lont@Acts:17:15 @ And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens: and having received an order for Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him as soon as possible, they set out.

lont@Acts:17:16 @ Now, while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit within him was strongly moved when he beheld the city enslaved to idolatry.

lont@Acts:17:17 @ He therefore reasoned with the Jews and proselytes in the synagogue; and in the forum, daily, with those who met with him.

lont@Acts:17:18 @ Then some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers opposed him. Others said, What would this babbler say? And others, he seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities; because he declared to them the good news concerning Jesus and the resurrection.

lont@Acts:17:19 @ And they took him and conducted him to the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, which is spoken by you?

lont@Acts:17:20 @ for you bring some strange things to our ears; we would, therefore, know what these things mean.

lont@Acts:17:21 @ For all the Athenians, and the strangers that sojourned among them spent their leisure in nothing else but in telling or hearing news.

lont@Acts:17:22 @ Paul, therefore, standing up in the middle of Areopagus, said, Athenians, I perceive that you are exceedingly addicted to the worship of demons.

lont@Acts:17:23 @ For, as I passed along, and beheld the objects of your worship, I found an altar with this inscription, To the Unknown God: Him, therefore, you ignorantly worship, I announce to you.

lont@Acts:17:24 @ The God who made the world, and all things that are in it, being the Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands:

lont@Acts:17:25 @ Neither is he served by human hands, as if he stood in need of anything; he himself giving to all, life, and breath, and all things.

lont@Acts:17:26 @ And he has made of one blood, the whole race of men, to inhabit all the face of the earth; having marked out the times previously arranged in order, and the boundaries of their habitations:

lont@Acts:17:27 @ that they might seek after the Lord, if possibly they might feel after him, and find him; though he be not far from every one of us:

lont@Acts:17:28 @ «for in him we live, and are moved, and do exist; as some of your own poets have said-For we his offspring are.»

lont@Acts:17:29 @ We, therefore, being the offspring of God, ought not to imagine the Deity to be like gold, or silver, or stone, wrought by the art and contrivance of man.

lont@Acts:17:30 @ For though God overlooked the times of ignorance, he now makes proclamation to all men, everywhere, to reform;

lont@Acts:17:31 @ because he has appointed a day, in which he will judge the world righteously, by that Man whom he has ordained: of which he has given assurance to all men, by raising him from the dead.

lont@Acts:17:32 @ And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some made a jest of it, and others said, We will hear you again upon this subject.

lont@Acts:17:33 @ And this Paul went out of the midst of them.

lont@Acts:17:34 @ Nevertheless, some men adhered to him, and believed: among whom was Dionysius, the Areopagite; also a woman, whose name was Damaris; and others with them.

lont@Acts:18:1 @ After these things, Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth;

lont@Acts:18:2 @ and finding a certain Jews, named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla, his wife, (because Claudius Cesar had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome,) he went to them.

lont@Acts:18:3 @ And as he was of the same trade, he continued with them, and wrought; for by trade they were tent-makers.

lont@Acts:18:4 @ But he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath day, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

lont@Acts:18:5 @ And as soon as Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul was impelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.

lont@Acts:18:6 @ But when they set themselves in opposition, and reviled, he shook his garment, and said to them, Let your blood be upon your own head! I am pure. From henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

lont@Acts:18:7 @ And going out thence, he went into the house of one called Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.

lont@Acts:18:8 @ Now, Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house; and many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed; and were immersed.

lont@Acts:18:9 @ But the Lord said to Paul, in a vision by night,

lont@Acts:18:10" />

lont@Acts:18:11 @ And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

lont@Acts:18:12 @ But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made an assault upon Paul, with one consent, and brought him before the tribunal,

lont@Acts:18:13 @ saying, This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.

lont@Acts:18:14 @ And when Paul would have opened his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were an act of injustice, or mischievous licentiousness, O Jews! it were reasonable I should bear with you.

lont@Acts:18:15 @ But if it be a question concerning words, and names, and the law which is among you, you see to it yourselves; for I will be no judge of these matters.

lont@Acts:18:16 @ And he drove them away from the tribunal.

lont@Acts:18:17 @ And all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal; but Gallio did not concern himself at all about the matter.

lont@Acts:18:18 @ And Paul still continued there for a considerable time, and then taking leave of the brethren, sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shaved his head at Cenchrea, for he had a vow.

lont@Acts:18:19 @ And he arrived at Ephesus, and there he left them; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

lont@Acts:18:20 @ And though they entreated him to have staid longer with them, he did not consent:

lont@Acts:18:21 @ but he took his leave of them, saying, It is necessary for me, all means, to celebrate the approaching feast at Jerusalem; but I will return to you again, God willing. And he set sail from Ephesus.

lont@Acts:18:22 @ And landing at Caesarea, he went up; and having saluted the congregation, he went down to Antioch.

lont@Acts:18:23 @ and having saluted the congregation, he went down to Antioch. And having spent some time there, he departed, going through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in a regular manner confirming all the disciples.

lont@Acts:18:24 @ Now, a certain Jew, whose name was Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and powerful in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

lont@Acts:18:25 @ This person was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught them things of the Lord with great accuracy, being only acquainted with the immersion of John.

lont@Acts:18:26 @ And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla hearing him, took him aside, and explained to him the way of God in a more perfect manner.

lont@Acts:18:27 @ And when he intended to go over to Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, exhorting them to receive him. And being arrived there, by his gift he greatly helped those who had believed.

lont@Acts:18:28 @ For he strenuously debated with the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures, that Jesus is the Messiah.

lont@Acts:19:1 @ Now it came to pass, that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper parts, came to Ephesus: and finding there some disciples,

lont@Acts:19:2 @ he said to them, Have you, on your believing, received the Holy Spirit? And they replied to him, No; we have not so much as heard whether the Holy Spirit is received.

lont@Acts:19:3 @ And he said to them, Into what, then, were you immersed? And they said, Into John's immersion.

lont@Acts:19:4 @ And Paul said, John, indeed, administered the immersion of reformation, telling the people that they should believe in Him that was to come after him: that is, in Jesus.

lont@Acts:19:5 @ And hearing this, they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.

lont@Acts:19:6 @ And Paul, laying his hands, on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.

lont@Acts:19:7 @ And they were, in all, about twelve men.

lont@Acts:19:8 @ And he went into the synagogue, and discoursed with boldness, disputing for the space of three months, and evincing the things which related to the kingdom of God.

lont@Acts:19:9 @ But as some were hardened, and would not believe, speaking reproachfully of this way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

lont@Acts:19:10 @ And this was done for the space of two years, so that all the inhabitants of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the word of the Lord.

lont@Acts:19:11 @ And God wrought extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul:

lont@Acts:19:12 @ so that handkerchiefs, or aprons, were carried from his body to those who were sick, and the diseases removed from them, and the evil spirits came out.

lont@Acts:19:13 @ And some of the strolling Jews, who were exorcists, undertook to name the name of the Lord Jesus, over those who had evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.

lont@Acts:19:14 @ And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.

lont@Acts:19:15 @ But the evil spirit answering, said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?

lont@Acts:19:16 @ And the man in whom the evil spirit was, sprung upon them, and getting master of them prevailed against them, so that they fled out of the house, naked and wounded.

lont@Acts:19:17 @ And this was known to all the Jews, and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

lont@Acts:19:18 @ And many of them, who believed, came and confessed, and made a declaration of their deeds.

lont@Acts:19:19 @ And a considerable number of those who had curious arts, bringing their books together, burnt them before all: and they computed the value of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver:

lont@Acts:19:20 @ so powerfully did the word of the Lord grow, and prevail.

lont@Acts:19:21 @ Now when these things were fulfilled, Paul proposed in spirit, that, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, he would go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, it is necessary for me also to see Rome.

lont@Acts:19:22 @ And sending two of those that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, he himself staid some time in Asia.

lont@Acts:19:23 @ And there happened, about that time, no small tumult concerning that way.

lont@Acts:19:24 @ For a man whose name was Demetrius, a silversmith, by making silver shrines of Diana, procured no small gain to the artificers:

lont@Acts:19:25 @ whom he gathered together, with the workmen employed about the business, and said, Men, you know that our maintenance arises from this manufacture;

lont@Acts:19:26 @ and you see and hear that this Paul has persuaded great numbers of people, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, and has turned them aside, saying that they are not deities which are made with hands;

lont@Acts:19:27 @ so that there is danger, not only that this occupation of ours should be depreciated, but also that the people of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her grandeur destroyed; whom all Asia and the world worship.

lont@Acts:19:28 @ And hearing this, they were filled with rage; and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!

lont@Acts:19:29 @ And the whole city was filled with confusion; and they rushed with one accord into the theater, dragging thither Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's fellow-travelers.

lont@Acts:19:30 @ And when Paul would have gone in to the people, the disciples would not permit him.

lont@Acts:19:31 @ And some, too, the principal officers of Asia, as they had a friendship for him, sent to him, and desired that he would not venture himself into the theater.

lont@Acts:19:32 @ Some, therefore, were crying one thing, and some another; for the congregation was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they were come together.

lont@Acts:19:33 @ And they thrust forth forward Alexander, from amongst the multitude, the Jews urging him on. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand, would have made a defense to the people.

lont@Acts:19:34 @ But when they knew that he was a Jew, one voice arose from them all, crying out, for about the space of two hours, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!

lont@Acts:19:35 @ But the chancellor, having pacified the people, said Ephesians, what man is there that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is devoted to the great Diana, and to the image that fell down from Jupiter.

lont@Acts:19:36 @ Since, then, these things are incontestable, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing in a precipitate manner;

lont@Acts:19:37 @ for you have brought these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.

lont@Acts:19:38 @ If, therefore, Demetrius, and the artificers that are with him, have a charge against any one, courts are held; and there are the proconsuls; let them implead together.

lont@Acts:19:39 @ But if you are inquiring anything concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a legal congregation.

lont@Acts:19:40 @ And, indeed, we are in danger of being called in question for the insurrection which has happened this day, as there is no cause by which we can account for this concourse.

lont@Acts:19:41 @ And when he had said these things, he dismissed the congregation.
