rsv@Acts:1:3 @ To them he presented himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.
rsv@Acts:1:4 @ And while staying with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me,
rsv@Acts:1:5 @ for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
rsv@Acts:1:6 @ So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"
rsv@Acts:1:7 @ He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.
rsv@Acts:1:8 @ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Sama'ria and to the end of the earth."

rsv@Acts:1:10 @ And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes,
rsv@Acts:1:11 @ and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven."
rsv@Acts:1:12 @ Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day's journey away;
rsv@Acts:1:13 @ and when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.
rsv@Acts:1:14 @ All these with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
rsv@Acts:1:15 @ In those days Peter stood up among the brethren (the company of persons was in all about a hundred and twenty), and said,
rsv@Acts:1:16 @ "Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus.
rsv@Acts:1:17 @ For he was numbered among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry.
rsv@Acts:1:18 @ (Now this man bought a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.
rsv@Acts:1:19 @ And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akel'dama, that is, Field of Blood.)
rsv@Acts:1:20 @ For it is written in the book of Psalms, `Let his habitation become desolate, and let there be no one to live in it'; and `His office let another take.'
rsv@Acts:1:21 @ So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
rsv@Acts:1:22 @ beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us--one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection."
rsv@Acts:1:23 @ And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsab'bas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthi'as.
rsv@Acts:1:24 @ And they prayed and said, "Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou hast chosen
rsv@Acts:1:25 @ to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside, to go to his own place."
rsv@Acts:1:26 @ And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthi'as; and he was enrolled with the eleven apostles.
rsv@Acts:2:1 @ When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
rsv@Acts:2:2 @ And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
rsv@Acts:2:3 @ And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them.
rsv@Acts:2:4 @ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
rsv@Acts:2:5 @ Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.
rsv@Acts:2:6 @ And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
rsv@Acts:2:7 @ And they were amazed and wondered, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
rsv@Acts:2:8 @ And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?
rsv@Acts:2:9 @ Par'thians and Medes and E'lamites and residents of Mesopota'mia, Judea and Cappado'cia, Pontus and Asia,
rsv@Acts:2:10 @ Phryg'ia and Pamphyl'ia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyre'ne, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
rsv@Acts:2:11 @ Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God."
rsv@Acts:2:12 @ And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"
rsv@Acts:2:13 @ But others mocking said, "They are filled with new wine."
rsv@Acts:2:14 @ But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.
rsv@Acts:2:15 @ For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day;
rsv@Acts:2:16 @ but this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
rsv@Acts:2:17 @ `And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
rsv@Acts:2:18 @ yea, and on my menservants and my maidservants in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
rsv@Acts:2:19 @ And I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
rsv@Acts:2:20 @ the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and manifest day.
rsv@Acts:2:21 @ And it shall be that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
rsv@Acts:2:22 @ "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know--
rsv@Acts:2:23 @ this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.
rsv@Acts:2:24 @ But God raised him up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
rsv@Acts:2:25 @ For David says concerning him, `I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
rsv@Acts:2:26 @ therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover my flesh will dwell in hope.
rsv@Acts:2:27 @ For thou wilt not abandon my soul to Hades, nor let thy Holy One see corruption.
rsv@Acts:2:28 @ Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of gladness with thy presence.'
rsv@Acts:2:29 @ "Brethren, I may say to you confidently of the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
rsv@Acts:2:30 @ Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants upon his throne,
rsv@Acts:2:31 @ he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
rsv@Acts:2:32 @ This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.
rsv@Acts:2:33 @ Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you see and hear.
rsv@Acts:2:34 @ For David did not ascend into the heavens; but he himself says, `The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
rsv@Acts:2:35 @ till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet.'
rsv@Acts:2:36 @ Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."
rsv@Acts:2:37 @ Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?"
rsv@Acts:2:38 @ And Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
rsv@Acts:2:39 @ For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him."
rsv@Acts:2:40 @ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation."
rsv@Acts:2:41 @ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
rsv@Acts:2:42 @ And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
rsv@Acts:2:43 @ And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
rsv@Acts:2:44 @ And all who believed were together and had all things in common;
rsv@Acts:2:45 @ and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need.
rsv@Acts:2:46 @ And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts,
rsv@Acts:2:47 @ praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
rsv@Acts:3:1 @ Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
rsv@Acts:3:2 @ And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at that gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms of those who entered the temple.
rsv@Acts:3:3 @ Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms.
rsv@Acts:3:4 @ And Peter directed his gaze at him, with John, and said, "Look at us."
rsv@Acts:3:5 @ And he fixed his attention upon them, expecting to receive something from them.
rsv@Acts:3:6 @ But Peter said, "I have no silver and gold, but I give you what I have; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."
rsv@Acts:3:7 @ And he took him by the right hand and raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.
rsv@Acts:3:8 @ And leaping up he stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
rsv@Acts:3:9 @ And all the people saw him walking and praising God,
rsv@Acts:3:10 @ and recognized him as the one who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
rsv@Acts:3:11 @ While he clung to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico called Solomon's, astounded.
rsv@Acts:3:12 @ And when Peter saw it he addressed the people, "Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him walk?
rsv@Acts:3:13 @ The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.
rsv@Acts:3:14 @ But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
rsv@Acts:3:15 @ and killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.
rsv@Acts:3:16 @ And his name, by faith in his name, has made this man strong whom you see and know; and the faith which is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.
rsv@Acts:3:17 @ "And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
rsv@Acts:3:18 @ But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.
rsv@Acts:3:19 @ Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
rsv@Acts:3:20 @ and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,
rsv@Acts:3:21 @ whom heaven must receive until the time for establishing all that God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old.
rsv@Acts:3:22 @ Moses said, `The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet from your brethren as he raised me up. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.
rsv@Acts:3:23 @ And it shall be that every soul that does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.'
rsv@Acts:3:24 @ And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came afterwards, also proclaimed these days.
rsv@Acts:3:25 @ You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God gave to your fathers, saying to Abraham, `And in your posterity shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'
rsv@Acts:3:26 @ God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you in turning every one of you from your wickedness."
rsv@Acts:4:1 @ And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sad'ducees came upon them,
rsv@Acts:4:2 @ annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
rsv@Acts:4:3 @ And they arrested them and put them in custody until the morrow, for it was already evening.
rsv@Acts:4:4 @ But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to about five thousand.
rsv@Acts:4:5 @ On the morrow their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem,
rsv@Acts:4:6 @ with Annas the high priest and Ca'iaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family.
rsv@Acts:4:7 @ And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, "By what power or by what name did you do this?"
rsv@Acts:4:8 @ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders,
rsv@Acts:4:9 @ if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a cripple, by what means this man has been healed,
rsv@Acts:4:10 @ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man is standing before you well.
rsv@Acts:4:11 @ This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, but which has become the head of the corner.
rsv@Acts:4:12 @ And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
rsv@Acts:4:13 @ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they wondered; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
rsv@Acts:4:14 @ But seeing the man that had been healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition.
rsv@Acts:4:15 @ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred with one another,
rsv@Acts:4:16 @ saying, "What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has been performed through them is manifest to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
rsv@Acts:4:17 @ But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to any one in this name."
rsv@Acts:4:18 @ So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
rsv@Acts:4:19 @ But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge;
rsv@Acts:4:20 @ for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard."
rsv@Acts:4:21 @ And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for all men praised God for what had happened.
rsv@Acts:4:22 @ For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
rsv@Acts:4:23 @ When they were released they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
rsv@Acts:4:24 @ And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, "Sovereign Lord, who didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them,
rsv@Acts:4:25 @ who by the mouth of our father David, thy servant, didst say by the Holy Spirit, `Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples imagine vain things?
rsv@Acts:4:26 @ The kings of the earth set themselves in array, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed'--
rsv@Acts:4:27 @ for truly in this city there were gathered together against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,
rsv@Acts:4:28 @ to do whatever thy hand and thy plan had predestined to take place.
rsv@Acts:4:29 @ And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness,
rsv@Acts:4:30 @ while thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of thy holy servant Jesus."
rsv@Acts:4:31 @ And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness.
rsv@Acts:4:32 @ Now the company of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in common.
rsv@Acts:4:33 @ And with great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
rsv@Acts:4:34 @ There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of what was sold
rsv@Acts:4:35 @ and laid it at the apostles' feet; and distribution was made to each as any had need.
rsv@Acts:4:36 @ Thus Joseph who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas (which means, Son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
rsv@Acts:4:37 @ sold a field which belonged to him, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
rsv@Acts:5:1 @ But a man named Anani'as with his wife Sapphi'ra sold a piece of property,
rsv@Acts:5:2 @ and with his wife's knowledge he kept back some of the proceeds, and brought only a part and laid it at the apostles' feet.
rsv@Acts:5:3 @ But Peter said, "Anani'as, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the proceeds of the land?
rsv@Acts:5:4 @ While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."
rsv@Acts:5:5 @ When Anani'as heard these words, he fell down and died. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.
rsv@Acts:5:6 @ The young men rose and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.
rsv@Acts:5:7 @ After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
rsv@Acts:5:8 @ And Peter said to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." And she said, "Yes, for so much."
rsv@Acts:5:9 @ But Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Hark, the feet of those that have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
rsv@Acts:5:10 @ Immediately she fell down at his feet and died. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
rsv@Acts:5:11 @ And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard of these things.
rsv@Acts:5:12 @ Now many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico.
rsv@Acts:5:13 @ None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high honor.
rsv@Acts:5:14 @ And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,
rsv@Acts:5:15 @ so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and pallets, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.
rsv@Acts:5:16 @ The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
rsv@Acts:5:17 @ But the high priest rose up and all who were with him, that is, the party of the Sad'ducees, and filled with jealousy
rsv@Acts:5:18 @ they arrested the apostles and put them in the common prison.
rsv@Acts:5:19 @ But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out and said,
rsv@Acts:5:20 @ "Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life."
rsv@Acts:5:21 @ And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and taught. Now the high priest came and those who were with him and called together the council and all the senate of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
rsv@Acts:5:22 @ But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported,
rsv@Acts:5:23 @ "We found the prison securely locked and the sentries standing at the doors, but when we opened it we found no one inside."
rsv@Acts:5:24 @ Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed about them, wondering what this would come to.
rsv@Acts:5:25 @ And some one came and told them, "The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people."
rsv@Acts:5:26 @ Then the captain with the officers went and brought them, but without violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.
rsv@Acts:5:27 @ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
rsv@Acts:5:28 @ saying, "We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us."
rsv@Acts:5:29 @ But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men.
rsv@Acts:5:30 @ The God of our fathers raised Jesus whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
rsv@Acts:5:31 @ God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
rsv@Acts:5:32 @ And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him."
rsv@Acts:5:33 @ When they heard this they were enraged and wanted to kill them.
rsv@Acts:5:34 @ But a Pharisee in the council named Gama'li-el, a teacher of the law, held in honor by all the people, stood up and ordered the men to be put outside for a while.
rsv@Acts:5:35 @ And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you do with these men.
rsv@Acts:5:36 @ For before these days Theu'das arose, giving himself out to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him; but he was slain and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.
rsv@Acts:5:37 @ After him Judas the Galilean arose in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him; he also perished, and all who followed him were scattered.
rsv@Acts:5:38 @ So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this undertaking is of men, it will fail;
rsv@Acts:5:39 @ but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!"
rsv@Acts:5:40 @ So they took his advice, and when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
rsv@Acts:5:41 @ Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.
rsv@Acts:5:42 @ And every day in the temple and at home they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
rsv@Acts:6:1 @ Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, the Hellenists murmured against the Hebrews because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.
rsv@Acts:6:2 @ And the twelve summoned the body of the disciples and said, "It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables.
rsv@Acts:6:3 @ Therefore, brethren, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint to this duty.
rsv@Acts:6:4 @ But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word."
rsv@Acts:6:5 @ And what they said pleased the whole multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Proch'orus, and Nica'nor, and Ti'mon, and Par'menas, and Nicola'us, a proselyte of Antioch.
rsv@Acts:6:6 @ These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands upon them.
rsv@Acts:6:7 @ And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.
rsv@Acts:6:8 @ And Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.
rsv@Acts:6:9 @ Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyre'nians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cili'cia and Asia, arose and disputed with Stephen.
rsv@Acts:6:10 @ But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
rsv@Acts:6:11 @ Then they secretly instigated men, who said, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."
rsv@Acts:6:12 @ And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council,
rsv@Acts:6:13 @ and set up false witnesses who said, "This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the law;
rsv@Acts:6:14 @ for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us."
rsv@Acts:6:15 @ And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
rsv@Acts:7:1 @ And the high priest said, "Is this so?"
rsv@Acts:7:2 @ And Stephen said: "Brethren and fathers, hear me. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopota'mia, before he lived in Haran,
rsv@Acts:7:3 @ and said to him, `Depart from your land and from your kindred and go into the land which I will show you.'
rsv@Acts:7:4 @ Then he departed from the land of the Chalde'ans, and lived in Haran. And after his father died, God removed him from there into this land in which you are now living;
rsv@Acts:7:5 @ yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot's length, but promised to give it to him in possession and to his posterity after him, though he had no child.
rsv@Acts:7:6 @ And God spoke to this effect, that his posterity would be aliens in a land belonging to others, who would enslave them and ill-treat them four hundred years.
rsv@Acts:7:7 @ `But I will judge the nation which they serve,' said God, `and after that they shall come out and worship me in this place.'
rsv@Acts:7:8 @ And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.
rsv@Acts:7:9 @ "And the patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt; but God was with him,
rsv@Acts:7:10 @ and rescued him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over Egypt and over all his household.
rsv@Acts:7:11 @ Now there came a famine throughout all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers could find no food.
rsv@Acts:7:12 @ But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.
