About

When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.

If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed,

For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

With great power the apostles continued to give their testimony about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And abundant grace was upon them all.

About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.

And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.

“Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.

Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.

“Tell me,” said the eunuch, “who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”

Then Philip began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.

So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.

One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.

All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”

But some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.

About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.

Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and for a time you will be blind and unable to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.

He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.

All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.

After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’

When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.

…they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,

But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,

And after engaging these men in sharp debate, Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.

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

When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped.

When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.”

But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.

But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”

He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.

There were about twelve men in all.

Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.

But one day the evil spirit responded, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”

About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way.

About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way.

But when they realized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

…where he stayed three months. And when the Jews formed a plot against him as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia.

…testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is no truth to these rumors about you, but that you also live in obedience to the law.

As they were about to take Paul into the barracks, he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied.

…as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.

About noon as I was approaching Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me.

…and saw the Lord saying to me, ‘Hurry! Leave Jerusalem quickly, because the people here will not accept your testimony about Me.’

At once those who were about to interrogate Paul stepped back, and the commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put a Roman citizen in chains.

“Brothers,” Paul replied, “I was not aware that he was the high priest, for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’”

The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so also you must testify in Rome.”

But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.

He answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of acquiring more information about him.

This man was seized by the Jews, and they were about to kill him when I came with my troops to rescue him. For I had learned that he is a Roman citizen,

I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.

By examining him yourself, you will be able to learn the truth about all our charges against him.”

Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing and said, “When Lysias the commander comes, I will decide your case.”

After several days, Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.

Then Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man. The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him, both here and in Jerusalem, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

I have nothing definite to write to our sovereign about him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after this inquiry I may have something to write.

About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and my companions.

For the king knows about these matters, and I can speak freely to him. I am confident that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner.

We boarded an Adramyttian ship about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.

On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.

The brothers there had heard about us and traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and gave thanks to God.

The leaders replied, “We have not received any letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the brothers from there reported or even mentioned anything bad about you.

The leaders replied, “We have not received any letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the brothers from there reported or even mentioned anything bad about you.

So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came to the place he was staying. He expounded to them from morning to evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.

So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came to the place he was staying. He expounded to them from morning to evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.

Boldly and freely he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.

For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.

Without weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the decrepitness of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb.

For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.

God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel:

Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.

Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.

Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.

…because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations.

Now about virgins, I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.

I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.

But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,

…and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.

…and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.

Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?

If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.

Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.

In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.

In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.

I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:

Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

…and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.

Indeed, I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well.
