He

As Peter traveled throughout the area, he went to visit the saints in Lydda.

There he found a man named Aeneas who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.

Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.

Peter took her by the hand and helped her up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her to them alive.

He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.

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

He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.

He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.

“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”

“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”

So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.

The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”

As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.

He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.

Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’

He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,

…not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.

And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.

And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.

So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.

He told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.

He told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.

He will convey to you a message by which you and all your household will be saved.’

As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He had fallen upon us at the beginning.

Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

So if God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder the work of God?”

When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to abide in the Lord with all their hearts.

…and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.

He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.

He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists.

So Peter followed him out, but he was unaware that what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was only seeing a vision.

And when he had realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.

He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.

Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for another place.

After Herod had searched for him unsuccessfully, he examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent some time there.

Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.

…an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, a man of intelligence, summoned Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God.

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.

The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.

The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.

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

And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.

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.’

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.’

From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.

As John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not that One. But there is One coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’

…and for many days He was seen by those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people.

He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’

In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’

So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’

For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.

This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.

Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.

In past generations, He let all nations go their own way.

Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”

Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”

Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, presuming he was dead.

But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

When they arrived, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

And God, who knows the heart, showed His approval by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us.

He made no distinction between us and them, for He cleansed their hearts by faith.

He made no distinction between us and them, for He cleansed their hearts by faith.

But Paul thought it best not to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.

And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.

Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.

Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.

On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.

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.

Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.

Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.

As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

…explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,” he declared.

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

So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace with those he met each day.

Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was proclaiming the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.

Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
