City

When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.

In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.

The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.

He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”

After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.

And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.

The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’

As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it

(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.

Prior to that time, a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and astounded the people of Samaria. He claimed to be someone great,

“Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

…but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.

Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who had spoken to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus.

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.

“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me.

They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city, which opened for them by itself. When they had gone outside and walked the length of one block, the angel suddenly left him.

On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.

The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.

The people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles.

The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, hoping to offer a sacrifice along with the crowds.

From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.

On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.

Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.

They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil

They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.

After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.

The Jews, however, became jealous. So they brought in some troublemakers from the marketplace, formed a mob, and sent the city into an uproar. They raided Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas, hoping to bring them out to the people.

But when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have now come here,

On hearing this, the crowd and city officials were greatly disturbed.

While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply disturbed in his spirit to see that the city was full of idols.

For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on you, because I have many people in this city.”

But Paul answered, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Now I beg you to allow me to speak to the people.”

“I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.

Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.

The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the auditorium, along with the commanders and leading men of the city. And Festus ordered that Paul be brought in.

The wall of the city had twelve foundations bearing the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.
