 acts:1.      [Acts]   28 Chapters   [v{jƿ] [^媩]
    
 acts:1.1     In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught
 acts:1.2     until the day he was taken up, after giving instructions through the holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
 acts:1.3     He presented himself alive to them by many proofs after he had suffered, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
 acts:1.4     While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for "the promise of the Father bout which you have heard me speak;
 acts:1.5     for John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the holy Spirit."
 acts:1.6     When they had gathered together they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going 4 to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
 acts:1.7     He answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority.
 acts:1.8     But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
 acts:1.9     When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
 acts:1.10    While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.
 acts:1.11    They said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven."
 acts:1.12    Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day's journey away.
 acts:1.13    When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
 acts:1.14    All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
 acts:1.15    During those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (there was a group of about one hundred and twenty persons in the one place). He said,
 acts:1.16    "My brothers, the scripture had to be fulfilled which the holy Spirit spoke beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was the guide for those who arrested Jesus.
 acts:1.17    He was numbered among us and was allotted a share in this ministry.
 acts:1.18    He bought a parcel of land with the wages of his iniquity, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle, and all his insides spilled out.
 acts:1.19    This became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem, so that the parcel of land was called in their language 'Akeldama,' that is, Field of Blood.
 acts:1.20    For it is written in the Book of Psalms: 'Let his encampment become desolate, and may no one dwell in it.' And: 'May another take his office.'
 acts:1.21    Therefore, it is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus came and went among us,
 acts:1.22    beginning from the baptism of John until the day on which he was taken up from us, become with us a witness to his resurrection."
 acts:1.23    So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.
 acts:1.24    Then they prayed, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen
 acts:1.25    to take thg place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
 acts:1.26    Then they eave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
    
 acts:2.1     When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together.
 acts:2.2     And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were.
 acts:2.3     Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
 acts:2.4     And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
 acts:2.5     Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem.
 acts:2.6     At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
 acts:2.7     They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, "Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
 acts:2.8     Then how does each of us hear them in his own native language?
 acts:2.9     We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
 acts:2.10    Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome,
 acts:2.11    both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God."
 acts:2.12    They were all astounded and bewildered, and said to one another, "What does this mean?"
 acts:2.13    But others said, scoffing, "They have had too much new wine."
 acts:2.14    Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them, "You who are Jews, indeed all of you staying in Jerusalem. Let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
 acts:2.15    These people are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning.
 acts:2.16    No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
 acts:2.17    'It will come to pass in the last days,' God says, 'that I will pour out a portion of my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.
 acts:2.18    Indeed, upon my servants and my handmaids I will pour out a portion of my spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy.
 acts:2.19    And I will work wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below: blood, fire, and a cloud of smoke.
 acts:2.20    The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and splendid day of the Lord,
 acts:2.21    and it shall be that everyone shall be saved who calls on the name of the Lord.'
 acts:2.22    You who are Israelites, hear these words. Jesus the Nazorean was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs, which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.
 acts:2.23    This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him.
 acts:2.24    But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
 acts:2.25    For David says of him: 'I saw the Lord ever before me, with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
 acts:2.26    Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted; my flesh, too, will dwell in hope,
 acts:2.27    because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld, nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.
 acts:2.28    You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.'
 acts:2.29    My brothers, one can confidently say to you about the patriarch David that he died and was buried, and his tomb is in our midst to this day.
 acts:2.30    But since he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants upon his throne,
 acts:2.31    he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that neither was he abandoned to the netherworld nor did his flesh see corruption.
 acts:2.32    God raised this Jesus; of this we are all witnesses.
 acts:2.33    Exalted at the right hand of God, he received the promise of the holy Spirit from the Father and poured it forth, as you (both) see and hear.
 acts:2.34    For David did not go up into heaven, but he himself said: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand
 acts:2.35    until I make your enemies your footstool."'
 acts:2.36    Therefore let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified."
 acts:2.37    Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?"
 acts:2.38    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 will receive the gift of the holy Spirit.
 acts:2.39    For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call."
 acts:2.40    He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
 acts:2.41    Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day.
 acts:2.42    They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers.
 acts:2.43    Awe came upon everyone, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
 acts:2.44    All who believed were together and had all things in common;
 acts:2.45    they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one's need.
 acts:2.46    Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their homes. They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart,
 acts:2.47    praising God and enjoying favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
    
 acts:3.1    Now Peter and John were going up to the temple area for the three o'clock hour of prayer. 2
 acts:3.2    And a man crippled from birth was carried and placed at the gate of the temple called "the Beautiful Gate" every day to beg for alms from the people who entered the temple.
 acts:3.3    When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms.
 acts:3.4    Peter looked intently at him, as did John, and said, "Look at us."
 acts:3.5    He paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them.
 acts:3.6    Peter said, "I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, (rise and) walk."
 acts:3.7    Then Peter took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles grew strong.
 acts:3.8    He jumped up, stood, and walked around, and went into the temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God.
 acts:3.9    When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
 acts:3.10   They recognized him as the one who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with amazement and astonishment at what had happened to him.
 acts:3.11   As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people hurried in amazement toward them in the portico called "Solomon's Portico."
 acts:3.12   When Peter saw this, he addressed the people, "You Israelites, why are you amazed at this, and why do you look so intently at us as if we had made him walk by our own power or piety?
 acts:3.13   The God of Abraham, (the God) of Isaac, and (the God) of Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has glorified his servant Jesus whom you handed over and denied in Pilate's presence, when he had decided to release him.
 acts:3.14   You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.
 acts:3.15   The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead; of this we are witnesses.
 acts:3.16   By faith in his name, this man, whom you see and know, his name has made strong, and the faith that comes through it has given him this perfect health, in the presence of all of you.
 acts:3.17   Yet I know, brothers, that you acted out of ignorance, just as your leaders did;
 acts:3.18   God has thus brought to fulfillment what he had announced beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer.
 acts:3.19   Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away,
 acts:3.20   that the Lord may grant you times of refreshment and send you the Messiah already appointed for you, Jesus,
 acts:3.21   He must remain in heaven until the times of universal restoration of which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old.
 acts:3.22   For Moses said: 'A prophet like me will the Lord, your God, raise up for you from among your own kinsmen; to him you shall listen in all that he may say to you.
 acts:3.23   Anyone who does not listen to that prophet will be cut off from the people.'
 acts:3.24   And all the prophets who spoke, from Samuel and those afterwards, also announced these days.
 acts:3.25   You are the children of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors when he said to Abraham, 'In your offspring all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'
 acts:3.26   And so God chose his Servant and sent him first to you, to bless you by making every one of you turn away from his wicked ways.
    
 acts:4.1     While they were still speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees confronted them,
 acts:4.2     disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
 acts:4.3     They laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, since it was already evening.
 acts:4.4     But many of those who heard the word came to believe and (the) number of men grew to (about) five thousand.
 acts:4.5     On the next day, their leaders, elders, and scribes were assembled in Jerusalem,
 acts:4.6     with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly class.
 acts:4.7     They brought them into their presence and questioned them, "By what power or by what name have you done this?"
 acts:4.8     Then Peter, filled with the holy Spirit, answered them, "Leaders of the people and elders:
 acts:4.9     If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a cripple, namely, by what means he was saved,
 acts:4.10    then all of you and all the people of Israel should know that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead; in his name this man stands before you healed.
 acts:4.11    He is 'the stone rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.'
 acts:4.12    There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved."
 acts:4.13    Observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving them to be uneducated, ordinary men, they were amazed, and they recognized them as the companions of Jesus.
 acts:4.14    Then when they saw the man who had been cured standing there with them, they could say nothing in reply.
 acts:4.15    So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin, and conferred with one another, saying,
 acts:4.16    "What are we to do with these men? Everyone living in Jerusalem knows that a remarkable sign was done through them, and we cannot deny it.
 acts:4.17    But so that it may not be spread any further among the people, let us give them a stern warning never again to speak to anyone in this name."
 acts:4.18    So they called them back and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
 acts:4.19    Peter and John, however, said to them in reply, "Whether it is right in the sight of God for us to obey you rather than God, you be the judges.
 acts:4.20    It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard."
 acts:4.21    After threatening them further, they released them, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people who were all praising God for what had happened.
 acts:4.22    For the man on whom this sign of healing had been done was over forty years old.
 acts:4.23    After their release they went back to their own people and reported what the chief priests and elders had told them.
 acts:4.24    And when they heard it, they raised their voices to God with one accord and said, "Sovereign Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them,
 acts:4.25    you said by the holy Spirit through the mouth of our father David, your servant: 'Why did the Gentiles rage and the peoples entertain folly?
 acts:4.26    The kings of the earth took their stand and the princes gathered together against the Lord and against his anointed.'
 acts:4.27    Indeed they gathered in this city against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed, Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,
 acts:4.28    to do what your hand and (your) will had long ago planned to take place.
 acts:4.29    And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and enable your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
 acts:4.30    as you stretch forth (your) hand to heal, and signs and wonders are done through the name of your holy servant Jesus."
 acts:4.31    As they prayed, the place where they were gathered shook, and they were all filled with the holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
 acts:4.32    The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common.
 acts:4.33    With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all.
 acts:4.34    There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale,
 acts:4.35    and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need.
 acts:4.36    Thus Joseph, also named by the apostles Barnabas (which is translated "son of encouragement"), a Levite, a Cypriot by birth,
 acts:4.37    sold a piece of property that he owned, then brought the money and put it at the feet of the apostles.
    
 acts:5.1     A man named Ananias, however, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property.
 acts:5.2     He retained for himself, with his wife's knowledge, some of the purchase price, took the remainder, and put it at the feet of the apostles.
 acts:5.3     But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart so that you lied to the holy Spirit and retained part of the price of the land?
 acts:5.4     While it remained unsold, did it not remain yours? And when it was sold, was it not still under your control? Why did you contrive this deed? You have lied not to human beings, but to God."
 acts:5.5     When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last, and great fear came upon all who heard of it.
 acts:5.6     The young men came and wrapped him up, then carried him out and buried him.
 acts:5.7     After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, unaware of what had happened.
 acts:5.8     Peter said to her, "Tell me, did you sell the land for this amount?" She answered, "Yes, for that amount."
 acts:5.9     Then Peter said to her, "Why did you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen, the footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
 acts:5.10    At once, she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men entered they found her dead, so they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
 acts:5.11    And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard of these things.
 acts:5.12    Many signs and wonders were done among the people at the hands of the apostles. They were all together in Solomon's portico.
 acts:5.13    None of the others dared to join them, but the people esteemed them.
 acts:5.14    Yet more than ever, believers in the Lord, great numbers of men and women, were added to them.
 acts:5.15    Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them.
 acts:5.16    A large number of people from the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem also gathered, bringing the sick and those disturbed by unclean spirits, and they were all cured.
 acts:5.17    Then the high priest rose up and all his companions, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and, filled with jealousy,
 acts:5.18    laid hands upon the apostles and put them in the public jail.
 acts:5.19    But during the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said,
 acts:5.20    "Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life."
 acts:5.21    When they heard this, they went to the temple early in the morning and taught. When the high priest and his companions arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin, the full senate of the Israelites, and sent to the jail to have them brought in.
 acts:5.22    But the court officers who went did not find them in the prison, so they came back and reported,
 acts:5.23    "We found the jail securely locked and the guards stationed outside the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
 acts:5.24    When they heard this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss about them, as to what this would come to.
 acts:5.25    Then someone came in and reported to them, "The men whom you put in prison are in the temple area and are teaching the people."
 acts:5.26    Then the captain and the court officers went and brought them in, but without force, because they were afraid of being stoned by the people.
 acts:5.27    When they had brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, the high priest questioned them,
 acts:5.28    "We gave you strict orders (did we not?) to stop teaching in that name. Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and want to bring this man's blood upon us."
 acts:5.29    But Peter and the apostles said in reply, "We must obey God rather than men.
 acts:5.30    The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, though you had him killed by hanging him on a tree.
 acts:5.31    God exalted him at his right hand as leader and savior to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
 acts:5.32    We are witnesses of these things, as is the holy Spirit that God has given to those who obey him."
 acts:5.33    When they heard this, they became infuriated and wanted to put them to death.
 acts:5.34    But a Pharisee in the Sanhedrin named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up, ordered the men to be put outside for a short time,
 acts:5.35    and said to them, "Fellow Israelites, be careful what you are about to do to these men.
 acts:5.36    Some time ago, Theudas appeared, claiming to be someone important, and about four hundred men joined him, but he was killed, and all those who were loyal to him were disbanded and came to nothing.
 acts:5.37    After him came Judas the Galilean at the time of the census. He also drew people after him, but he too perished and all who were loyal to him were scattered.
 acts:5.38    So now I tell you, have nothing to do with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself.
 acts:5.39    But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God." They were persuaded by him.
 acts:5.40    After recalling the apostles, they had them flogged, ordered them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
 acts:5.41    So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.
 acts:5.42    And all day long, both at the temple and in their homes, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the Messiah, Jesus.
    
 acts:6.1     At that time, as the number of disciples continued to grow, the Hellenists complained against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.
 acts:6.2     So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, "It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table.
 acts:6.3     Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task,
 acts:6.4     whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word."
 acts:6.5     The proposal was acceptable to the whole community, so they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and the holy Spirit, also Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicholas of Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
 acts:6.6     They presented these men to the apostles who prayed and laid hands on them.
 acts:6.7     The word of God continued to spread, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly; even a large group of priests were becoming obedient to the faith.
 acts:6.8     Now Stephen, filled with grace and power, was working great wonders and signs among the people.
 acts:6.9     Certain members of the so-called Synagogue of Freedmen, Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and people from Cilicia and Asia, came forward and debated with Stephen,
 acts:6.10    but they could not withstand the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke.
 acts:6.11    Then they instigated some men to say, "We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God."
 acts:6.12    They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, accosted him, seized him, and brought him before the Sanhedrin.
 acts:6.13    They presented false witnesses who testified, "This man never stops saying things against (this) holy place and the law.
 acts:6.14    For we have heard him claim that this Jesus the Nazorean will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us."
 acts:6.15    All those who sat in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him and saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
    
 acts:7.1     Then the high priest asked, "Is this so?"
 acts:7.2     And he replied, "My brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was in Mesopotamia, before he had settled in Haran,
 acts:7.3     and said to him, 'Go forth from your land and (from) your kinsfolk to the land that I will show you.'
 acts:7.4     So he went forth from the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. And from there, after his father died, he made him migrate to this land where you now dwell.
 acts:7.5     Yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot's length, but he did promise to give it to him and his descendants as a possession, even though he was childless.
 acts:7.6     And God spoke thus, 'His descendants shall be aliens in a land not their own, where they shall be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years;
 acts:7.7     but I will bring judgment on the nation they serve,' God said, 'and after that they will come out and worship me in this place.'
 acts:7.8     Then he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, as Isaac did Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
 acts:7.9     "And the patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into slavery in Egypt; but God was with him
 acts:7.10    and rescued him from all his afflictions. He granted him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, who put him in charge of Egypt and (of) his entire household.
 acts:7.11    Then a famine and great affliction struck all Egypt and Canaan, and our ancestors could find no food;
 acts:7.12    but when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there a first time.
 acts:7.13    The second time, Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
 acts:7.14    Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob, inviting him and his whole clan, seventy-five persons;
 acts:7.15    and Jacob went down to Egypt. And he and our ancestors died
 acts:7.16    and were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor at Shechem.
 acts:7.17    "When the time drew near for the fulfillment of the promise that God pledged to Abraham, the people had increased and become very numerous in Egypt,
 acts:7.18    until another king who knew nothing of Joseph came to power (in Egypt).
 acts:7.19    He dealt shrewdly with our people and oppressed (our) ancestors by forcing them to expose their infants, that they might not survive.
 acts:7.20    At this time Moses was born, and he was extremely beautiful. For three months he was nursed in his father's house;
 acts:7.21    but when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son.
 acts:7.22    Moses was educated (in) all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in his words and deeds.
 acts:7.23    "When he was forty years old, he decided to visit his kinsfolk, the Israelites.
 acts:7.24    When he saw one of them treated unjustly, he defended and avenged the oppressed man by striking down the Egyptian.
 acts:7.25    He assumed (his) kinsfolk would understand that God was offering them deliverance through him, but they did not understand.
 acts:7.26    The next day he appeared to them as they were fighting and tried to reconcile them peacefully, saying, 'Men, you are brothers. Why are you harming one another?'
 acts:7.27    Then the one who was harming his neighbor pushed him aside, saying, 'Who appointed you ruler and judge over us?
 acts:7.28    Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'
 acts:7.29    Moses fled when he heard this and settled as an alien in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
 acts:7.30    "Forty years later, an angel appeared to him in the desert near Mount Sinai in the flame of a burning bush.
 acts:7.31    When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight, and as he drew near to look at it, the voice of the Lord came,
 acts:7.32    'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob.' Then Moses, trembling, did not dare to look at it.
 acts:7.33    But the Lord said to him, 'Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
 acts:7.34    I have witnessed the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them. Come now, I will send you to Egypt.'
 acts:7.35    This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, 'Who appointed you ruler and judge?' God sent as (both) ruler and deliverer, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
 acts:7.36    This man led them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, at the Red Sea, and in the desert for forty years.
 acts:7.37    It was this Moses who said to the Israelites, 'God will raise up for you, from among your own kinsfolk, a prophet like me.'
 acts:7.38    It was he who, in the assembly in the desert, was with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai and with our ancestors, and he received living utterances to hand on to us.
 acts:7.39    "Our ancestors were unwilling to obey him; instead, they pushed him aside and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,
 acts:7.40    saying to Aaron, 'Make us gods who will be our leaders. As for that Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'
 acts:7.41    So they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifice to the idol, and reveled in the works of their hands.
 acts:7.42    Then God turned and handed them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: 'Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings for forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?
 acts:7.43    No, you took up the tent of Moloch and the star of (your) god Rephan, the images that you made to worship. So I shall take you into exile beyond Babylon.'
 acts:7.44    "Our ancestors had the tent of testimony in the desert just as the One who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern he had seen.
 acts:7.45    Our ancestors who inherited it brought it with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out from before our ancestors, up to the time of David,
 acts:7.46    who found favor in the sight of God and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the house of Jacob.
 acts:7.47    But Solomon built a house for him.
 acts:7.48    Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
 acts:7.49    'The heavens are my throne, the earth is my footstool. What kind of house can you build for me? says the Lord, or what is to be my resting place?
 acts:7.50    Did not my hand make all these things?'
 acts:7.51    "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always oppose the holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors.
 acts:7.52    Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They put to death those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become.
 acts:7.53    You received the law as transmitted by angels, but you did not observe it."
 acts:7.54    When they heard this, they were infuriated, and they ground their teeth at him.
 acts:7.55    But he, filled with the holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,
 acts:7.56    and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
 acts:7.57    But they cried out in a loud voice, covered their ears, and rushed upon him together.
 acts:7.58    They threw him out of the city, and began to stone him. The witnesses laid down their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.
 acts:7.59    As they were stoning Stephen, he called out, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
 acts:7.60    Then he fell to his knees and cried out in a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them"; and when he said this, he fell asleep.
    
 acts:8.1     Now Saul was consenting to his execution.On that day, there broke out a severe persecution of the church in Jerusalem, and all were scattered throughout the countryside of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
 acts:8.2     Devout men buried Stephen and made a loud lament over him.
 acts:8.3     Saul, meanwhile, was trying to destroy the church; entering house after house and dragging out men and women, he handed them over for imprisonment.
 acts:8.4     Now those who had been scattered went about preaching the word.
 acts:8.5     Thus Philip went down to (the) city of Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah to them.
 acts:8.6     With one accord, the crowds paid attention to what was said by Philip when they heard it and saw the signs he was doing.
 acts:8.7     For unclean spirits, crying out in a loud voice, came out of many possessed people, and many paralyzed and crippled people were cured.
 acts:8.8     There was great joy in that city.
 acts:8.9     A man named Simon used to practice magic in the city and astounded the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great.
 acts:8.10    All of them, from the least to the greatest, paid attention to him, saying, "This man is the 'Power of God' that is called 'Great.'"
 acts:8.11    They paid attention to him because he had astounded them by his magic for a long time,
 acts:8.12    but once they began to believe Philip as he preached the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, men and women alike were baptized.
 acts:8.13    Even Simon himself believed and, after being baptized, became devoted to Philip; and when he saw the signs and mighty deeds that were occurring, he was astounded.
 acts:8.14    Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent them Peter and John,
 acts:8.15    who went down and prayed for them, that they might receive the holy Spirit,
 acts:8.16    for it had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
 acts:8.17    Then they laid hands on them and they received the holy Spirit.
 acts:8.18    When Simon saw that the Spirit was conferred by the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money
 acts:8.19    and said, "Give me this power too, so that anyone upon whom I lay my hands may receive the holy Spirit."
 acts:8.20    But Peter said to him, "May your money perish with you, because you thought that you could buy the gift of God with money.
 acts:8.21    You have no share or lot in this matter, for your heart is not upright before God.
 acts:8.22    Repent of this wickedness of yours and pray to the Lord that, if possible, your intention may be forgiven.
 acts:8.23    For I see that you are filled with bitter gall and are in the bonds of iniquity."
 acts:8.24    Simon said in reply, "Pray for me to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said may come upon me."
 acts:8.25    So when they had testified and proclaimed the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem and preached the good news to many Samaritan villages.
 acts:8.26    Then the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, "Get up and head south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the desert route."
 acts:8.27    So he got up and set out. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, hat is, the queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury, who had come to Jerusalem to worship,
 acts:8.28    and was returning home. Seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
 acts:8.29    The Spirit said to Philip, "Go and join up with that chariot."
 acts:8.30    Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
 acts:8.31    He replied, "How can I, unless someone instructs me?" So he invited Philip to get in and sit with him.
 acts:8.32    This was the scripture passage he was reading: "Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
 acts:8.33    In (his) humiliation justice was denied him. Who will tell of his posterity? For his life is taken from the earth."
 acts:8.34    Then the eunuch said to Philip in reply, "I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?"
 acts:8.35    Then Philip opened his mouth and, beginning with this scripture passage, he proclaimed Jesus to him.
 acts:8.36    As they traveled along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look, there is water. What is to prevent my being baptized?"
 acts:s.37    [And Philip said,"If you do believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered, and said, "I believe JesusChrist yo be the Son of God." ]
 acts:8.38    Then he ordered the chariot to stop, and Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water, and he baptized him.
 acts:8.39    When they came out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but continued on his way rejoicing.
 acts:8.40    Philip came to Azotus, and went about proclaiming the good news to all the towns until he reached Caesarea.
    
 acts:9.1     Now Saul, still breathing murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
 acts:9.2     and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, that, if he should find any men or women who belonged to the Way, he might bring them back to Jerusalem in chains.
 acts:9.3     On his journey, as he was nearing Damascus, a light from the sky suddenly flashed around him.
 acts:9.4     He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"
 acts:9.5     He said, "Who are you, sir?" The reply came, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
 acts:9.6     Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do."
 acts:9.7     The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, for they heard the voice but could see no one.
 acts:9.8     Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him to Damascus.
 acts:9.9     For three days he was unable to see, and he neither ate nor drank.
 acts:9.10    There was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." He answered, "Here I am, Lord."
 acts:9.11    The Lord said to him, "Get up and go to the street called Straight and ask at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is there praying,
 acts:9.12    and (in a vision) he has seen a man named Ananias come in and lay (his) hands on him, that he may regain his sight."
 acts:9.13    But Ananias replied, "Lord, I have heard from many sources about this man, what evil things he has done to your holy ones in Jerusalem.
 acts:9.14    And here he has authority from the chief priests to imprison all who call upon your name."
 acts:9.15    But the Lord said to him, "Go, for this man is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before Gentiles, kings, and Israelites,
 acts:9.16    and I will show him what he will have to suffer for my name."
 acts:9.17    So Ananias went and entered the house; laying his hands on him, he said, "Saul, my brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus who appeared to you on the way by which you came, that you may regain your sight and be filled with the holy Spirit."
 acts:9.18    Immediately things like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. He got up and was baptized,
 acts:9.19    and when he had eaten, he recovered his strength. He stayed some days with the disciples in Damascus,
 acts:9.20    and he began at once to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
 acts:9.21    All who heard him were astounded and said, "Is not this the man who in Jerusalem ravaged those who call upon this name, and came here expressly to take them back in chains to the chief priests?"
 acts:9.22    But Saul grew all the stronger and confounded (the) Jews who lived in Damascus, proving that this is the Messiah.
 acts:9.23    After a long time had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,
 acts:9.24    but their plot became known to Saul. Now they were keeping watch on the gates day and night so as to kill him,
 acts:9.25    but his disciples took him one night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.
 acts:9.26    When he arrived in Jerusalem he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
 acts:9.27    Then Barnabas took charge of him and brought him to the apostles, and he reported to them how on the way he had seen the Lord and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus.
 acts:9.28    He moved about freely with them in Jerusalem, and spoke out boldly in the name of the Lord.
 acts:9.29    He also spoke and debated with the Hellenists, but they tried to kill him.
 acts:9.30    And when the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him on his way to Tarsus.
 acts:9.31    The church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was at peace. It was being built up and walked in the fear of the Lord, and with the consolation of the holy Spirit it grew in numbers.
 acts:9.32    As Peter was passing through every region, he went down to the holy ones living in Lydda.
 acts:9.33    There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been confined to bed for eight years, for he was paralyzed.
 acts:9.34    Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed." He got up at once.
 acts:9.35    And all the inhabitants of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
 acts:9.36    Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated means Dorcas). She was completely occupied with good deeds and almsgiving.
 acts:9.37    Now during those days she fell sick and died, so after washing her, they laid (her) out in a room upstairs.
 acts:9.38    Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the request, "Please come to us without delay."
 acts:9.39    So Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they took him to the room upstairs where all the widows came to him weeping and showing him the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was with them.
 acts:9.40    Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed. Then he turned to her body and said, "Tabitha, rise up." She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up.
 acts:9.41    He gave her his hand and raised her up, and when he had called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive.
 acts:9.42    This became known all over Joppa, and many came to believe in the Lord.
 acts:9.43    And he stayed a long time in Joppa with Simon, a tanner.
    
 acts:10.1    Now in Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of the Cohort called the Italica,
 acts:10.2    devout and God-fearing along with his whole household, who used to give alms generously to the Jewish people and pray to God constantly.
 acts:10.3    One afternoon about three o'clock, he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say to him, "Cornelius."
 acts:10.4    He looked intently at him and, seized with fear, said, "What is it, sir?" He said to him, "Your prayers and almsgiving have ascended as a memorial offering before God.
 acts:10.5    Now send some men to Joppa and summon one Simon who is called Peter.
 acts:10.6    He is staying with another Simon, a tanner, who has a house by the sea."
 acts:10.7    When the angel who spoke to him had left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from his staff,
 acts:10.8    explained everything to them, and sent them to Joppa.
 acts:10.9    The next day, while they were on their way and nearing the city, Peter went up to the roof terrace to pray at about noontime.
 acts:10.10   He was hungry and wished to eat, and while they were making preparations he fell into a trance.
 acts:10.11   He saw heaven opened and something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered to the ground by its four corners.
 acts:10.12   In it were all the earth's four-legged animals and reptiles and the birds of the sky.
 acts:10.13   A voice said to him, "Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat."
 acts:10.14   But Peter said, "Certainly not, sir. For never have I eaten anything profane and unclean."
 acts:10.15   The voice spoke to him again, a second time, "What God has made clean, you are not to call profane."
 acts:10.16   This happened three times, and then the object was taken up into the sky.
 acts:10.17   While Peter was in doubt about the meaning of the vision he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius asked for Simon's house and arrived at the entrance.
 acts:10.18   They called out inquiring whether Simon, who is called Peter, was staying there.
 acts:10.19   As Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said (to him), "There are three men here looking for you.
 acts:10.20   So get up, go downstairs, and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them."
 acts:10.21   Then Peter went down to the men and said, "I am the one you are looking for. What is the reason for your being here?"
 acts:10.22   They answered, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear what you have to say."
 acts:10.23   So he invited them in and showed them hospitality. The next day he got up and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.
 acts:10.24   On the following day he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
 acts:10.25   When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and, falling at his feet, paid him homage.
 acts:10.26   Peter, however, raised him up, saying, "Get up. I myself am also a human being."
 acts:10.27   While he conversed with him, he went in and found many people gathered together
 acts:10.28   and said to them, "You know that it is unlawful for a Jewish man to associate with, or visit, a Gentile, but God has shown me that I should not call any person profane or unclean.
 acts:10.29   And that is why I came without objection when sent for. May I ask, then, why you summoned me?"
 acts:10.30   Cornelius replied, "Four days ago at this hour, three o'clock in the afternoon, I was at prayer in my house when suddenly a man in dazzling robes stood before me and said,
 acts:10.31   'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your almsgiving remembered before God.
 acts:10.32   Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.'
 acts:10.33   So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here in the presence of God to listen to all that you have been commanded by the Lord."
 acts:10.34   Then Peter proceeded to speak and said, "In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.
 acts:10.35   Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.
 acts:10.36   You know the word (that) he sent to the Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all,
 acts:10.37   what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached,
 acts:10.38   how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
 acts:10.39   We are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and (in) Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree.
 acts:10.40   This man God raised (on) the third day and granted that he be visible,
 acts:10.41   not to all the people, but to us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
 acts:10.42   He commissioned us to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead.
 acts:10.43   To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name."
 acts:10.44   While Peter was still speaking these things, the holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word.
 acts:10.45   The circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the holy Spirit should have been poured out on the Gentiles also,
 acts:10.46   for they could hear them speaking in tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter responded,
 acts:10.47   "Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people, who have received the holy Spirit even as we have?"
 acts:10.48   He ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they invited him to stay for a few days.
    
 acts:11.1    Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles too had accepted the word of God.
 acts:11.2    So when Peter went up to Jerusalem the circumcised believers confronted him,
 acts:11.3    saying, "You entered the house of uncircumcised people and ate with them."
 acts:11.4    Peter began and explained it to them step by step, saying,
 acts:11.5    "I was at prayer in the city of Joppa when in a trance I had a vision, something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered from the sky by its four corners, and it came to me.
 acts:11.6    Looking intently into it, I observed and saw the four-legged animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.
 acts:11.7    I also heard a voice say to me, 'Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat.'
 acts:11.8    But I said, 'Certainly not, sir, because nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'
 acts:11.9    But a second time a voice from heaven answered, 'What God has made clean, you are not to call profane.'
 acts:11.10   This happened three times, and then everything was drawn up again into the sky.
 acts:11.11   Just then three men appeared at the house where we were, who had been sent to me from Caesarea.
 acts:11.12   The Spirit told me to accompany them without discriminating. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house.
 acts:11.13   He related to us how he had seen (the) angel standing in his house, saying, 'Send someone to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter,
 acts:11.14   who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.'
 acts:11.15   As I began to speak, the holy Spirit fell upon them as it had upon us at the beginning,
 acts:11.16   and I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said, 'John baptized with water but you will be baptized with the holy Spirit.'
 acts:11.17   If then God gave them the same gift he gave to us when we came to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to be able to hinder God?"
 acts:11.18   When they heard this, they stopped objecting and glorified God, saying, "God has then granted life-giving repentance to the Gentiles too."
 acts:11.19   Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that arose because of Stephen went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but Jews.
 acts:11.20   There were some Cypriots and Cyrenians among them, however, who came to Antioch and began to speak to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the Lord Jesus.
 acts:11.21   The hand of the Lord was with them and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
 acts:11.22   The news about them reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas (to go) to Antioch.
 acts:11.23   When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart,
 acts:11.24   for he was a good man, filled with the holy Spirit and faith. And a large number of people was added to the Lord.
 acts:11.25   Then he went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
 acts:11.26   and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a large number of people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians.
 acts:11.27   At that time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch,
 acts:11.28   and one of them named Agabus stood up and predicted by the Spirit that there would be a severe famine all over the world, and it happened under Claudius.
 acts:11.29   So the disciples determined that, according to ability, each should send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea.
 acts:11.30   This they did, sending it to the presbyters in care of Barnabas and Saul.
    
 acts:12.1    About that time King Herod laid hands upon some members of the church to harm them.
 acts:12.2    He had James, the brother of John, killed by the sword,
 acts:12.3    and when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he proceeded to arrest Peter also. (It was (the) feast of Unleavened Bread.)
 acts:12.4    He had him taken into custody and put in prison under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each. He intended to bring him before the people after Passover.
 acts:12.5    Peter thus was being kept in prison, but prayer by the church was fervently being made to God on his behalf.
 acts:12.6    On the very night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter, secured by double chains, was sleeping between two soldiers, while outside the door guards kept watch on the prison.
 acts:12.7    Suddenly the angel of the Lord stood by him and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and awakened him, saying, "Get up quickly." The chains fell from his wrists.
 acts:12.8    The angel said to him, "Put on your belt and your sandals." He did so. Then he said to him, "Put on your cloak and follow me."
 acts:12.9    So he followed him out, not realizing that what was happening through the angel was real; he thought he was seeing a vision.
 acts:12.10   They passed the first guard, then the second, and came to the iron gate leading out to the city, which opened for them by itself. They emerged and made their way down an alley, and suddenly the angel left him.
 acts:12.11   Then Peter recovered his senses and said, "Now I know for certain that (the) Lord sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people had been expecting."
 acts:12.12   When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who is called Mark, where there were many people gathered in prayer.
 acts:12.13   When he knocked on the gateway door, a maid named Rhoda came to answer it.
 acts:12.14   She was so overjoyed when she recognized Peter's voice that, instead of opening the gate, she ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the gate.
 acts:12.15   They told her, "You are out of your mind," but she insisted that it was so. But they kept saying, "It is his angel."
 acts:12.16   But Peter continued to knock, and when they opened it, they saw him and were astounded.
 acts:12.17   He motioned to them with his hand to be quiet and explained (to them) how the Lord had led him out of the prison, and said, "Report this to James and the brothers." Then he left and went to another place.
 acts:12.18   At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers over what had become of Peter.
 acts:12.19   Herod, after instituting a search but not finding him, ordered the guards tried and executed. Then he left Judea to spend some time in Caesarea.
 acts:12.20   He had long been very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, who now came to him in a body. After winning over Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they sued for peace because their country was supplied with food from the king's territory.
 acts:12.21   On an appointed day, Herod, attired in royal robes, (and) seated on the rostrum, addressed them publicly.
 acts:12.22   The assembled crowd cried out, "This is the voice of a god, not of a man."
 acts:12.23   At once the angel of the Lord struck him down because he did not ascribe the honor to God, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.
 acts:12.24   But the word of God continued to spread and grow.
 acts:12.25   After Barnabas and Saul completed their relief mission, they returned to Jerusalem, taking with them John, who is called Mark.
    
 acts:13.1    Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
 acts:13.2    While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
 acts:13.3    Then, completing their fasting and prayer, they laid hands on them and sent them off.
 acts:13.4    So they, sent forth by the holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus.
 acts:13.5    When they arrived in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had John also as their assistant.
 acts:13.6    When they had traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, they met a magician named Bar-Jesus who was a Jewish false prophet.
 acts:13.7    He was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who had summoned Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word of God.
 acts:13.8    But Elymas the magician (for that is what his name means) opposed them in an attempt to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
 acts:13.9    But Saul, also known as Paul, filled with the holy Spirit, looked intently at him
 acts:13.10   and said, "You son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right, full of every sort of deceit and fraud. Will you not stop twisting the straight paths of (the) Lord?
 acts:13.11   Even now the hand of the Lord is upon you. You will be blind, and unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a dark mist fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand.
 acts:13.12   When the proconsul saw what had happened, he came to believe, for he was astonished by the teaching about the Lord.
 acts:13.13   From Paphos, Paul and his companions set sail and arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
 acts:13.14   They continued on from Perga and reached Antioch in Pisidia. On the sabbath they entered (into) the synagogue and took their seats.
 acts:13.15   After the reading of the law and the prophets, the synagogue officials sent word to them, "My brothers, if one of you has a word of exhortation for the people, please speak."
 acts:13.16   So Paul got up, motioned with his hand, and said, "Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen.
 acts:13.17   The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt. With uplifted arm he led them out of it
 acts:13.18   and for about forty years he put up with them in the desert.
 acts:13.19   When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance
 acts:13.20   at the end of about four hundred and fifty years. After these things he provided judges up to Samuel (the) prophet.
 acts:13.21   Then they asked for a king. God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
 acts:13.22   Then he removed him and raised up David as their king; of him he testified, 'I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.'
 acts:13.23   From this man's descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.
 acts:13.24   John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel;
 acts:13.25   and as John was completing his course, he would say, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.'
 acts:13.26   "My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those others among you who are God-fearing, to us this word of salvation has been sent.
 acts:13.27   The inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders failed to recognize him, and by condemning him they fulfilled the oracles of the prophets that are read sabbath after sabbath.
 acts:13.28   For even though they found no grounds for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him put to death,
 acts:13.29   and when they had accomplished all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and placed him in a tomb.
 acts:13.30   But God raised him from the dead,
 acts:13.31   and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These are (now) his witnesses before the people.
 acts:13.32   We ourselves are proclaiming this good news to you that what God promised our ancestors
 acts:13.33   he has brought to fulfillment for us, (their) children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm, 'You are my son; this day I have begotten you.'
 acts:13.34   And that he raised him from the dead never to return to corruption he declared in this way, 'I shall give you the benefits assured to David.'
 acts:13.35   That is why he also says in another psalm, 'You will not suffer your holy one to see corruption.'
 acts:13.36   Now David, after he had served the will of God in his lifetime, fell asleep, was gathered to his ancestors, and did see corruption.
 acts:13.37   But the one whom God raised up did not see corruption.
 acts:13.38   You must know, my brothers, that through him forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you, (and) in regard to everything from which you could not be justified under the law of Moses,
 acts:13.39   in him every believer is justified.
 acts:13.40   Be careful, then, that what was said in the prophets not come about:
 acts:13.41   'Look on, you scoffers, be amazed and disappear. For I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will never believe even if someone tells you.'"
 acts:13.42   As they were leaving, they invited them to speak on these subjects the following sabbath.
 acts:13.43   After the congregation had dispersed, many Jews and worshipers who were converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to remain faithful to the grace of God.
 acts:13.44   On the following sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
 acts:13.45   When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and with violent abuse contradicted what Paul said.
 acts:13.46   Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first, but since you reject it and condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.
 acts:13.47   For so the Lord has commanded us, 'I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth.'"
 acts:13.48   The Gentiles were delighted when they heard this and glorified the word of the Lord. All who were destined for eternal life came to believe,
 acts:13.49   and the word of the Lord continued to spread through the whole region.
 acts:13.50   The Jews, however, incited the women of prominence who were worshipers and the leading men of the city, stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their territory.
 acts:13.51   So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
 acts:13.52   The disciples were filled with joy and the holy Spirit.
    
 acts:14.1    In Iconium they entered the Jewish synagogue together and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks came to believe,
 acts:14.2    although the disbelieving Jews stirred up and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers.
 acts:14.3    So they stayed for a considerable period, speaking out boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the word about his grace by granting signs and wonders to occur through their hands.
 acts:14.4    The people of the city were divided: some were with the Jews; others, with the apostles.
 acts:14.5    When there was an attempt by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their leaders, to attack and stone them,
 acts:14.6    they realized it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding countryside,
 acts:14.7    where they continued to proclaim the good news.
 acts:14.8    At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth, who had never walked.
 acts:14.9    He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him, saw that he had the faith to be healed,
 acts:14.10   and called out in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet." He jumped up and began to walk about.
 acts:14.11   When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they cried out in Lycaonian, "The gods have come down to us in human form."
 acts:14.12   They called Barnabas "Zeus" and Paul "Hermes," because he was the chief speaker.
 acts:14.13   And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, for he together with the people intended to offer sacrifice.
 acts:14.14   The apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their garments when they heard this and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,
 acts:14.15   "Men, why are you doing this? We are of the same nature as you, human beings. We proclaim to you good news that you should turn from these idols to the living God, 'who made heaven and earth and sea and all that is in them.'
 acts:14.16   In past generations he allowed all Gentiles to go their own ways;
 acts:14.17   yet, in bestowing his goodness, he did not leave himself without witness, for he gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, and filled you with nourishment and gladness for your hearts."
 acts:14.18   Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
 acts:14.19   However, some Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
 acts:14.20   But when the disciples gathered around him, he got up and entered the city. On the following day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
 acts:14.21   After they had proclaimed the good news to that city and made a considerable number of disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch.
 acts:14.22   They strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying, "It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God."
 acts:14.23   They appointed presbyters for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had put their faith.
 acts:14.24   Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.
 acts:14.25   After proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia.
 acts:14.26   From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now accomplished.
 acts:14.27   And when they arrived, they called the church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
 acts:14.28   Then they spent no little time with the disciples.
    
 acts:15.1    Some who had come down from Judea were instructing the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised according to the Mosaic practice, you cannot be saved."
 acts:15.2    Because there arose no little dissension and debate by Paul and Barnabas with them, it was decided that Paul, Barnabas, and some of the others should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and presbyters about this question.
 acts:15.3    They were sent on their journey by the church, and passed through Phoenicia and Samaria telling of the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers.
 acts:15.4    When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, as well as by the apostles and the presbyters, and they reported what God had done with them.
 acts:15.5    But some from the party of the Pharisees who had become believers stood up and said, "It is necessary to circumcise them and direct them to observe the Mosaic law."
 acts:15.6    The apostles and the presbyters met together to see about this matter.
 acts:15.7    After much debate had taken place, Peter got up and said to them, "My brothers, you are well aware that from early days God made his choice among you that through my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe.
 acts:15.8    And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us.
 acts:15.9    He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.
 acts:15.10   Why, then, are you now putting God to the test by placing on the shoulders of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear?
 acts:15.11   On the contrary, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they."
 acts:15.12   The whole assembly fell silent, and they listened while Paul and Barnabas described the signs and wonders God had worked among the Gentiles through them.
 acts:15.13   After they had fallen silent, James responded, "My brothers, listen to me.
 acts:15.14   Symeon has described how God first concerned himself with acquiring from among the Gentiles a people for his name.
 acts:15.15   The words of the prophets agree with this, as is written:
 acts:15.16   'After this I shall return and rebuild the fallen hut of David; from its ruins I shall rebuild it and raise it up again,
 acts:15.17   so that the rest of humanity may seek out the Lord, even all the Gentiles on whom my name is invoked. Thus says the Lord who accomplishes these things,
 acts:15.18   known from of old.'
 acts:15.19   It is my judgment, therefore, that we ought to stop troubling the Gentiles who turn to God,
 acts:15.20   but tell them by letter to avoid pollution from idols, unlawful marriage, the meat of strangled animals, and blood.
 acts:15.21   For Moses, for generations now, has had those who proclaim him in every town, as he has been read in the synagogues every sabbath."
 acts:15.22   Then the apostles and presbyters, in agreement with the whole church, decided to choose representatives and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. The ones chosen were Judas, who was called Barsabbas, and Silas, leaders among the brothers.
 acts:15.23   This is the letter delivered by them: "The apostles and the presbyters, your brothers, to the brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia of Gentile origin: greetings.
 acts:15.24   Since we have heard that some of our number (who went out) without any mandate from us have upset you with their teachings and disturbed your peace of mind,
 acts:15.25   we have with one accord decided to choose representatives and to send them to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
 acts:15.26   who have dedicated their lives to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 acts:15.27   So we are sending Judas and Silas who will also convey this same message by word of mouth:
 acts:15.28   'It is the decision of the holy Spirit and of us not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities,
 acts:15.29   namely, to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from meats of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage. If you keep free of these, you will be doing what is right. Farewell.'"
 acts:15.30   And so they were sent on their journey. Upon their arrival in Antioch they called the assembly together and delivered the letter.
 acts:15.31   When the people read it, they were delighted with the exhortation.
 acts:15.32   Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, exhorted and strengthened the brothers with many words.
 acts:15.33   After they had spent some time there, they were sent off with greetings of peace from the brothers to those who had commissioned them.
 acts:15.34   [Silas however decided to stay there, and so Judas departed alone for Jerusalem.]
 acts:15.35   But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming with many others the word of the Lord.
 acts:15.36   After some time, Paul said to Barnabas, "Come, let us make a return visit to see how the brothers are getting on in all the cities where we proclaimed the word of the Lord."
 acts:15.37   Barnabas wanted to take with them also John, who was called Mark,
 acts:15.38   but Paul insisted that they should not take with them someone who had deserted them at Pamphylia and who had not continued with them in their work.
 acts:15.39   So sharp was their disagreement that they separated. Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus.
 acts:15.40   But Paul chose Silas and departed after being commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
 acts:15.41   He traveled through Syria and Cilicia bringing strength to the churches.
    
 acts:16.1    He reached (also) Derbe and Lystra where there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek.
 acts:16.2    The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke highly of him,
 acts:16.3    and Paul wanted him to come along with him. On account of the Jews of that region, Paul had him circumcised, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
 acts:16.4    As they traveled from city to city, they handed on to the people for observance the decisions reached by the apostles and presbyters in Jerusalem.
 acts:16.5    Day after day the churches grew stronger in faith and increased in number.
 acts:16.6    They traveled through the Phrygian and Galatian territory because they had been prevented by the holy Spirit from preaching the message in the province of Asia.
 acts:16.7    When they came to Mysia, they tried to go on into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them,
 acts:16.8    so they crossed through Mysia and came down to Troas.
 acts:16.9    During (the) night Paul had a vision. A Macedonian stood before him and implored him with these words, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."
 acts:16.10   When he had seen the vision, we sought passage to Macedonia at once, concluding that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.
 acts:16.11   We set sail from Troas, making a straight run for Samothrace, and on the next day to Neapolis,
 acts:16.12   and from there to Philippi, a leading city in that district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We spent some time in that city.
 acts:16.13   On the sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river where we thought there would be a place of prayer. We sat and spoke with the women who had gathered there.
 acts:16.14   One of them, a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth, from the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, listened, and the Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what Paul was saying.
 acts:16.15   After she and her household had been baptized, she offered us an invitation, "If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my home," and she prevailed on us.
 acts:16.16   As we were going to the place of prayer, we met a slave girl with an oracular spirit, who used to bring a large profit to her owners through her fortune-telling.
 acts:16.17   She began to follow Paul and us, shouting, "These people are slaves of the Most High God, who proclaim to you a way of salvation."
 acts:16.18   She did this for many days. Paul became annoyed, turned, and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." Then it came out at that moment.
 acts:16.19   When her owners saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them to the public square before the local authorities.
 acts:16.20   They brought them before the magistrates and said, "These people are Jews and are disturbing our city
 acts:16.21   and are advocating customs that are not lawful for us Romans to adopt or practice."
 acts:16.22   The crowd joined in the attack on them, and the magistrates had them stripped and ordered them to be beaten with rods.
 acts:16.23   After inflicting many blows on them, they threw them into prison and instructed the jailer to guard them securely.
 acts:16.24   When he received these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and secured their feet to a stake.
 acts:16.25   About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God as the prisoners listened,
 acts:16.26   there was suddenly such a severe earthquake that the foundations of the jail shook; all the doors flew open, and the chains of all were pulled loose.
 acts:16.27   When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew (his) sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.
 acts:16.28   But Paul shouted out in a loud voice, "Do no harm to yourself; we are all here."
 acts:16.29   He asked for a light and rushed in and, trembling with fear, he fell down before Paul and Silas.
 acts:16.30   Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
 acts:16.31   And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you and your household will be saved."
 acts:16.32   So they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
 acts:16.33   He took them in at that hour of the night and bathed their wounds; then he and all his family were baptized at once.
 acts:16.34   He brought them up into his house and provided a meal and with his household rejoiced at having come to faith in God.
 acts:16.35   But when it was day, the magistrates sent the lictors with the order, "Release those men."
 acts:16.36   The jailer reported the (se) words to Paul, "The magistrates have sent orders that you be released. Now, then, come out and go in peace."
 acts:16.37   But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, even though we are Roman citizens and have not been tried, and have thrown us into prison. And now, are they going to release us secretly? By no means. Let them come themselves and lead us out."
 acts:16.38   The lictors reported these words to the magistrates, and they became alarmed when they heard that they were Roman citizens.
 acts:16.39   So they came and placated them, and led them out and asked that they leave the city.
 acts:16.40   When they had come out of the prison, they went to Lydia's house where they saw and encouraged the brothers, and then they left.
    
 acts:17.1    When they took the road through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they reached Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
 acts:17.2    Following his usual custom, Paul joined them, and for three sabbaths he entered into discussions with them from the scriptures,
 acts:17.3    expounding and demonstrating that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead, and that "This is the Messiah, Jesus, whom I proclaim to you."
 acts:17.4    Some of them were convinced and joined Paul and Silas; so, too, a great number of Greeks who were worshipers, and not a few of the prominent women.
 acts:17.5    But the Jews became jealous and recruited some worthless men loitering in the public square, formed a mob, and set the city in turmoil. They marched on the house of Jason, intending to bring them before the people's assembly.
 acts:17.6    When they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city magistrates, shouting, "These people who have been creating a disturbance all over the world have now come here,
 acts:17.7    and Jason has welcomed them. They all act in opposition to the decrees of Caesar and claim instead that there is another king, Jesus."
 acts:17.8    They stirred up the crowd and the city magistrates who, upon hearing these charges,
 acts:17.9    took a surety payment from Jason and the others before releasing them.
 acts:17.10   The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas to Beroea during the night. Upon arrival they went to the synagogue of the Jews.
 acts:17.11   These Jews were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all willingness and examined the scriptures daily to determine whether these things were so.
 acts:17.12   Many of them became believers, as did not a few of the influential Greek women and men.
 acts:17.13   But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God had now been proclaimed by Paul in Beroea also, they came there too to cause a commotion and stir up the crowds.
 acts:17.14   So the brothers at once sent Paul on his way to the seacoast, while Silas and Timothy remained behind.
 acts:17.15   After Paul's escorts had taken him to Athens, they came away with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
 acts:17.16   While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he grew exasperated at the sight of the city full of idols.
 acts:17.17   So he debated in the synagogue with the Jews and with the worshipers, and daily in the public square with whoever happened to be there.
 acts:17.18   Even some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers engaged him in discussion. Some asked, "What is this scavenger trying to say?" Others said, "He sounds like a promoter of foreign deities," because he was preaching about 'Jesus' and 'Resurrection.'
 acts:17.19   They took him and led him to the Areopagus and said, "May we learn what this new teaching is that you speak of?
 acts:17.20   For you bring some strange notions to our ears; we should like to know what these things mean."
 acts:17.21   Now all the Athenians as well as the foreigners residing there used their time for nothing else but telling or hearing something new.
 acts:17.22   Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: "You Athenians, I see that in every respect you are very religious.
 acts:17.23   For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, 'To an Unknown God.' What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you.
 acts:17.24   The God who made the world and all that is in it, the Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands,
 acts:17.25   nor is he served by human hands because he needs anything. Rather it is he who gives to everyone life and breath and everything.
 acts:17.26   He made from one the whole human race to dwell on the entire surface of the earth, and he fixed the ordered seasons and the boundaries of their regions,
 acts:17.27   so that people might seek God, even perhaps grope for him and find him, though indeed he is not far from any one of us.
 acts:17.28   For 'In him we live and move and have our being,' as even some of your poets have said, 'For we too are his offspring.'
 acts:17.29   Since therefore we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the divinity is like an image fashioned from gold, silver, or stone by human art and imagination.
 acts:17.30   God has overlooked the times of ignorance, but now he demands that all people everywhere repent
 acts:17.31   because he has established a day on which he will 'judge the world with justice' through a man he has appointed, and he has provided confirmation for all by raising him from the dead."
 acts:17.32   When they heard about resurrection of the dead, some began to scoff, but others said, "We should like to hear you on this some other time."
 acts:17.33   And so Paul left them.
 acts:17.34   But some did join him, and became believers. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the Court of the Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
    
 acts:18.1    After this he left Athens and went to Corinth.
 acts:18.2    There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. He went to visit them
 acts:18.3    and, because he practiced the same trade, stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
 acts:18.4    Every sabbath, he entered into discussions in the synagogue, attempting to convince both Jews and Greeks.
 acts:18.5    When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began to occupy himself totally with preaching the word, testifying to the Jews that the Messiah was Jesus.
 acts:18.6    When they opposed him and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be on your heads! I am clear of responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
 acts:18.7    So he left there and went to a house belonging to a man named Titus Justus, a worshiper of God; his house was next to a synagogue.
 acts:18.8    Crispus, the synagogue official, came to believe in the Lord along with his entire household, and many of the Corinthians who heard believed and were baptized.
 acts:18.9    One night in a vision the Lord said to Paul, "Do not be afraid. Go on speaking, and do not be silent,
 acts:18.10   for I am with you. No one will attack and harm you, for I have many people in this city."
 acts:18.11   He settled there for a year and a half and taught the word of God among them.
 acts:18.12   But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia,he Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him to the tribunal,
 acts:18.13   saying, "This man is inducing people to worship God contrary to the law." 6
 acts:18.14   When Paul was about to reply, Gallio spoke to the Jews, "If it were a matter of some crime or malicious fraud, I should with reason hear the complaint of you Jews;
 acts:18.15   but since it is a question of arguments over doctrine and titles and your own law, see to it yourselves. I do not wish to be a judge of such matters."
 acts:18.16   And he drove them away from the tribunal.
 acts:18.17   They all seized Sosthenes, the synagogue official, and beat him in full view of the tribunal. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
 acts:18.18   Paul remained for quite some time, and after saying farewell to the brothers he sailed for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchreae he had his hair cut because he had taken a vow.
 acts:18.19   When they reached Ephesus, he left them there, while he entered the synagogue and held discussions with the Jews.
 acts:18.20   Although they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent,
 acts:18.21   but as he said farewell he promised, "I shall come back to you again, God willing." Then he set sail from Ephesus.
 acts:18.22   Upon landing at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church and then went down to Antioch.
 acts:18.23   After staying there some time, he left and traveled in orderly sequence through the Galatian country and Phrygia, bringing strength to all the disciples.
 acts:18.24   A Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent speaker, arrived in Ephesus. He was an authority on the scriptures.
 acts:18.25   He had been instructed in the Way of the Lord and, with ardent spirit, spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
 acts:18.26   He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the Way (of God) more accurately.
 acts:18.27   And when he wanted to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. After his arrival he gave great assistance to those who had come to believe through grace.
 acts:18.28   He vigorously refuted the Jews in public, establishing from the scriptures that the Messiah is Jesus.
    
 acts:19.1    While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior of the country and came (down) to Ephesus where he found some disciples.
 acts:19.2    He said to them, "Did you receive the holy Spirit when you became believers?" They answered him, "We have never even heard that there is a holy Spirit."
 acts:19.3    He said, "How were you baptized?" They replied, "With the baptism of John."
 acts:19.4    Paul then said, "John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus."
 acts:19.5    When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
 acts:19.6    And when Paul laid (his) hands on them, the holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
 acts:19.7    Altogether there were about twelve men.
 acts:19.8    He entered the synagogue, and for three months debated boldly with persuasive arguments about the kingdom of God.
 acts:19.9    But when some in their obstinacy and disbelief disparaged the Way before the assembly, he withdrew and took his disciples with him and began to hold daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
 acts:19.10   This continued for two years with the result that all the inhabitants of the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord, Jews and Greeks alike.
 acts:19.11   So extraordinary were the mighty deeds God accomplished at the hands of Paul
 acts:19.12   that when face cloths or aprons that touched his skin were applied to the sick, their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.
 acts:19.13   Then some itinerant Jewish exorcists tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits, saying, "I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches."
 acts:19.14   When the seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish high priest, tried to do this,
 acts:19.15   the evil spirit said to them in reply, "Jesus I recognize, Paul I know, but who are you?"
 acts:19.16   The person with the evil spirit then sprang at them and subdued them all. He so overpowered them that they fled naked and wounded from that house.
 acts:19.17   When this became known to all the Jews and Greeks who lived in Ephesus, fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in great esteem.
 acts:19.18   Many of those who had become believers came forward and openly acknowledged their former practices.
 acts:19.19   Moreover, a large number of those who had practiced magic collected their books and burned them in public. They calculated their value and found it to be fifty thousand silver pieces.
 acts:19.20   Thus did the word of the Lord continue to spread with influence and power.
 acts:19.21   When this was concluded, Paul made up his mind to travel through Macedonia and Achaia, and then to go on to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must visit Rome also."
 acts:19.22   Then he sent to Macedonia two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, while he himself stayed for a while in the province of Asia.
 acts:19.23   About that time a serious disturbance broke out concerning the Way.
 acts:19.24   There was a silversmith named Demetrius who made miniature silver shrines of Artemis and provided no little work for the craftsmen.
 acts:19.25   He called a meeting of these and other workers in related crafts and said, "Men, you know well that our prosperity derives from this work.
 acts:19.26   As you can now see and hear, not only in Ephesus but throughout most of the province of Asia this Paul has persuaded and misled a great number of people by saying that gods made by hands are not gods at all.
 acts:19.27   The danger grows, not only that our business will be discredited, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be of no account, and that she whom the whole province of Asia and all the world worship will be stripped of her magnificence."
 acts:19.28   When they heard this, they were filled with fury and began to shout, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"
 acts:19.29   The city was filled with confusion, and the people rushed with one accord into the theater, seizing Gaius and Aristarchus, the Macedonians, Paul's traveling companions.
 acts:19.30   Paul wanted to go before the crowd, but the disciples would not let him,
 acts:19.31   and even some of the Asiarchs who were friends of his sent word to him advising him not to venture into the theater.
 acts:19.32   Meanwhile, some were shouting one thing, others something else; the assembly was in chaos, and most of the people had no idea why they had come together.
 acts:19.33   Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, as the Jews pushed him forward, and Alexander signaled with his hand that he wished to explain something to the gathering.
 acts:19.34   But when they recognized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison, for about two hours, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"
 acts:19.35   Finally the town clerk restrained the crowd and said, "You Ephesians, what person is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image that fell from the sky?
 acts:19.36   Since these things are undeniable, you must calm yourselves and not do anything rash.
 acts:19.37   The men you brought here are not temple robbers, nor have they insulted our goddess.
 acts:19.38   If Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a complaint against anyone, courts are in session, and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another.
 acts:19.39   If you have anything further to investigate, let the matter be settled in the lawful assembly,
 acts:19.40   for, as it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of today's conduct. There is no cause for it. We shall (not) be able to give a reason for this demonstration." With these words he dismissed the assembly.
    
 acts:20.1    When the disturbance was over, Paul had the disciples summoned and, after encouraging them, he bade them farewell and set out on his journey to Macedonia.
 acts:20.2    As he traveled throughout those regions, he provided many words of encouragement for them. Then he arrived in Greece,
 acts:20.3    where he stayed for three months. But when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return by way of Macedonia.
 acts:20.4    Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus, from Beroea, accompanied him, as did Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia
 acts:20.5    who went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.
 acts:20.6    We sailed from Philippi after the feast of Unleavened Bread, and rejoined them five days later in Troas, where we spent a week.
 acts:20.7    On the first day of the week when we gathered to break bread, Paul spoke to them because he was going to leave on the next day, and he kept on speaking until midnight.
 acts:20.8    There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were gathered,
 acts:20.9    and a young man named Eutychus who was sitting on the window sill was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. Once overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and when he was picked up, he was dead.
 acts:20.10   Paul went down, threw himself upon him, and said as he embraced him, "Don't be alarmed; there is life in him."
 acts:20.11   Then he returned upstairs, broke the bread, and ate; after a long conversation that lasted until daybreak, he departed.
 acts:20.12   And they took the boy away alive and were immeasurably comforted.
 acts:20.13   We went ahead to the ship and set sail for Assos where we were to take Paul on board, as he had arranged, since he was going overland.
 acts:20.14   When he met us in Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.
 acts:20.15   We sailed away from there on the next day and reached a point off Chios, and a day later we reached Samos, and on the following day we arrived at Miletus.
 acts:20.16   Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus in order not to lose time in the province of Asia, for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if at all possible, for the day of Pentecost.
 acts:20.17   From Miletus he had the presbyters of the church at Ephesus summoned.
 acts:20.18   When they came to him, he addressed them, "You know how I lived among you the whole time from the day I first came to the province of Asia.
 acts:20.19   I served the Lord with all humility and with the tears and trials that came to me because of the plots of the Jews,
 acts:20.20   and I did not at all shrink from telling you what was for your benefit, or from teaching you in public or in your homes.
 acts:20.21   I earnestly bore witness for both Jews and Greeks to repentance before God and to faith in our Lord Jesus.
 acts:20.22   But now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem. What will happen to me there I do not know,
 acts:20.23   except that in one city after another the holy Spirit has been warning me that imprisonment and hardships await me.
 acts:20.24   Yet I consider life of no importance to me, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear witness to the gospel of God's grace.
 acts:20.25   "But now I know that none of you to whom I preached the kingdom during my travels will ever see my face again.
 acts:20.26   And so I solemnly declare to you this day that I am not responsible for the blood of any of you,
 acts:20.27   for I did not shrink from proclaiming to you the entire plan of God.
 acts:20.28   Keep watch over yourselves and over the whole flock of which the holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, in which you tend the church of God that he acquired with his own blood.
 acts:20.29   I know that after my departure savage wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the flock.
 acts:20.30   And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the truth to draw the disciples away after them.
 acts:20.31   So be vigilant and remember that for three years, night and day, I unceasingly admonished each of you with tears.
 acts:20.32   And now I commend you to God and to that gracious word of his that can build you up and give you the inheritance among all who are consecrated.
 acts:20.33   I have never wanted anyone's silver or gold or clothing.
 acts:20.34   You know well that these very hands have served my needs and my companions.
 acts:20.35   In every way I have shown you that by hard work of that sort we must help the weak, and keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus who himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
 acts:20.36   When he had finished speaking he knelt down and prayed with them all.
 acts:20.37   They were all weeping loudly as they threw their arms around Paul and kissed him,
 acts:20.38   for they were deeply distressed that he had said that they would never see his face again. Then they escorted him to the ship.
    
 acts:21.1    When we had taken leave of them we set sail, made a straight run for Cos, and on the next day for Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
 acts:21.2    Finding a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went on board and put out to sea.
 acts:21.3    We caught sight of Cyprus but passed by it on our left and sailed on toward Syria and put in at Tyre where the ship was to unload cargo.
 acts:21.4    There we sought out the disciples and stayed for a week. They kept telling Paul through the Spirit not to embark for Jerusalem.
 acts:21.5    At the end of our stay we left and resumed our journey. All of them, women and children included, escorted us out of the city, and after kneeling on the beach to pray,
 acts:21.6    we bade farewell to one another. Then we boarded the ship, and they returned home.
 acts:21.7    We continued the voyage and came from Tyre to Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed a day with them.
 acts:21.8    On the next day we resumed the trip and came to Caesarea, where we went to the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven, and stayed with him.
 acts:21.9    He had four virgin daughters gifted with prophecy.
 acts:21.10   We had been there several days when a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
 acts:21.11   He came up to us, took Paul's belt, bound his own feet and hands with it, and said, "Thus says the holy Spirit: This is the way the Jews will bind the owner of this belt in Jerusalem, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles."
 acts:21.12   When we heard this, we and the local residents begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
 acts:21.13   Then Paul replied, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am prepared not only to be bound but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
 acts:21.14   Since he would not be dissuaded we let the matter rest, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
 acts:21.15   After these days we made preparations for our journey, then went up to Jerusalem.
 acts:21.16   Some of the disciples from Caesarea came along to lead us to the house of Mnason, a Cypriot, a disciple of long standing, with whom we were to stay.
 acts:21.17   When we reached Jerusalem the brothers welcomed us warmly.
 acts:21.18   The next day, Paul accompanied us on a visit to James, and all the presbyters were present.
 acts:21.19   He greeted them, then proceeded to tell them in detail what God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.
 acts:21.20   They praised God when they heard it but said to him, "Brother, you see how many thousands of believers there are from among the Jews, and they are all zealous observers of the law.
 acts:21.21   They have been informed that you are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to abandon Moses and that you are telling them not to circumcise their children or to observe their customary practices.
 acts:21.22   What is to be done? They will surely hear that you have arrived.
 acts:21.23   So do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
 acts:21.24   Take these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses that they may have their heads shaved. In this way everyone will know that there is nothing to the reports they have been given about you but that you yourself live in observance of the law.
 acts:21.25   As for the Gentiles who have come to believe, we sent them our decision that they abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage."
 acts:21.26   So Paul took the men, and on the next day after purifying himself together with them entered the temple to give notice of the day when the purification would be completed and the offering made for each of them.
 acts:21.27   When the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from the province of Asia noticed him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd, and laid hands on him,
 acts:21.28   shouting, "Fellow Israelites, help us. This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place, and what is more, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this sacred place."
 acts:21.29   For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him and supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
 acts:21.30   The whole city was in turmoil with people rushing together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the gates were closed.
 acts:21.31   While they were trying to kill him, a report reached the cohort commander that all Jerusalem was rioting.
 acts:21.32   He immediately took soldiers and centurions and charged down on them. When they saw the commander and the soldiers they stopped beating Paul.
 acts:21.33   The cohort commander came forward, arrested him, and ordered him to be secured with two chains; he tried to find out who he might be and what he had done.
 acts:21.34   Some in the mob shouted one thing, others something else; so, since he was unable to ascertain the truth because of the uproar, he ordered Paul to be brought into the compound.
 acts:21.35   When he reached the steps, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob,
 acts:21.36   for a crowd of people followed and shouted, "Away with him!"
 acts:21.37   Just as Paul was about to be taken into the compound, he said to the cohort commander, "May I say something to you?" He replied, "Do you speak Greek?
 acts:21.38   So then you are not the Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led the four thousand assassins into the desert?"
 acts:21.39   Paul answered, "I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; I request you to permit me to speak to the people."
 acts:21.40   When he had given his permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people; and when all was quiet he addressed them in Hebrew.
    
 acts:22.1    "My brothers and fathers, listen to what I am about to say to you in my defense."
 acts:22.2    When they heard him addressing them in Hebrew they became all the more quiet. And he continued,
 acts:22.3    "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city. At the feet of Gamaliel I was educated strictly in our ancestral law and was zealous for God, just as all of you are today.
 acts:22.4    I persecuted this Way to death, binding both men and women and delivering them to prison.
 acts:22.5    Even the high priest and the whole council of elders can testify on my behalf. For from them I even received letters to the brothers and set out for Damascus to bring back to Jerusalem in chains for punishment those there as well.
 acts:22.6    "On that journey as I drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from the sky suddenly shone around me.
 acts:22.7    I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?'
 acts:22.8    I replied, 'Who are you, sir?' And he said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazorean whom you are persecuting.'
 acts:22.9    My companions saw the light but did not hear the voice of the one who spoke to me.
 acts:22.10   I asked, 'What shall I do, sir?' The Lord answered me, 'Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told about everything appointed for you to do.'
 acts:22.11   Since I could see nothing because of the brightness of that light, I was led by hand by my companions and entered Damascus.
 acts:22.12   "A certain Ananias, a devout observer of the law, and highly spoken of by all the Jews who lived there,
 acts:22.13   came to me and stood there and said, 'Saul, my brother, regain your sight.' And at that very moment I regained my sight and saw him.
 acts:22.14   Then he said, 'The God of our ancestors designated you to know his will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear the sound of his voice;
 acts:22.15   for you will be his witness before all to what you have seen and heard.
 acts:22.16   Now, why delay? Get up and have yourself baptized and your sins washed away, calling upon his name.'
 acts:22.17   "After I had returned to Jerusalem and while I was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance
 acts:22.18   and saw the Lord saying to me, 'Hurry, leave Jerusalem at once, because they will not accept your testimony about me.'
 acts:22.19   But I replied, 'Lord, they themselves know that from synagogue to synagogue I used to imprison and beat those who believed in you.
 acts:22.20   And when the blood of your witness Stephen was being shed, I myself stood by giving my approval and keeping guard over the cloaks of his murderers.'
 acts:22.21   Then he said to me, 'Go, I shall send you far away to the Gentiles.'"
 acts:22.22   They listened to him until he said this, but then they raised their voices and shouted, "Take such a one as this away from the earth. It is not right that he should live."
 acts:22.23   And as they were yelling and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air,
 acts:22.24   the cohort commander ordered him to be brought into the compound and gave instruction that he be interrogated under the lash to determine the reason why they were making such an outcry against him.
 acts:22.25   But when they had stretched him out for the whips, Paul said to the centurion on duty, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman citizen and has not been tried?"
 acts:22.26   When the centurion heard this, he went to the cohort commander and reported it, saying, "What are you going to do? This man is a Roman citizen."
 acts:22.27   Then the commander came and said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?" "Yes," he answered.
 acts:22.28   The commander replied, "I acquired this citizenship for a large sum of money." Paul said, "But I was born one."
 acts:22.29   At once those who were going to interrogate him backed away from him, and the commander became alarmed when he realized that he was a Roman citizen and that he had had him bound.
 acts:22.30   The next day, wishing to determine the truth about why he was being accused by the Jews, he freed him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to convene. Then he brought Paul down and made him stand before them.
    
 acts:23.1    Paul looked intently at the Sanhedrin and said, "My brothers, I have conducted myself with a perfectly clear conscience before God to this day."
 acts:23.2    The high priest Ananias ordered his attendants to strike his mouth.
 acts:23.3    Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall. Do you indeed sit in judgment upon me according to the law and yet in violation of the law order me to be struck?"
 acts:23.4    The attendants said, "Would you revile God's high priest?"
 acts:23.5    Paul answered, "Brothers, I did not realize he was the high priest. For it is written, 'You shall not curse a ruler of your people.'"
 acts:23.6    Paul was aware that some were Sadducees and some Pharisees, so he called out before the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees; (I) am on trial for hope in the resurrection of the dead."
 acts:23.7    When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the group became divided.
 acts:23.8    For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection or angels or spirits, while the Pharisees acknowledge all three.
 acts:23.9    A great uproar occurred, and some scribes belonging to the Pharisee party stood up and sharply argued, "We find nothing wrong with this man. Suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"
 acts:23.10   The dispute was so serious that the commander, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, ordered his troops to go down and rescue him from their midst and take him into the compound.
 acts:23.11   The following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage. For just as you have borne witness to my cause in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome."
 acts:23.12   When day came, the Jews made a plot and bound themselves by oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
 acts:23.13   There were more than forty who formed this conspiracy.
 acts:23.14   They went to the chief priests and elders and said, "We have bound ourselves by a solemn oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
 acts:23.15   You, together with the Sanhedrin, must now make an official request to the commander to have him bring him down to you, as though you meant to investigate his case more thoroughly. We on our part are prepared to kill him before he arrives."
 acts:23.16   The son of Paul's sister, however, heard about the ambush; so he went and entered the compound and reported it to Paul.
 acts:23.17   Paul then called one of the centurions and requested, "Take this young man to the commander; he has something to report to him."
 acts:23.18   So he took him and brought him to the commander and explained, "The prisoner Paul called me and asked that I bring this young man to you; he has something to say to you."
 acts:23.19   The commander took him by the hand, drew him aside, and asked him privately, "What is it you have to report to me?"
 acts:23.20   He replied, "The Jews have conspired to ask you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin tomor row, as though they meant to inquire about him more thoroughly,
 acts:23.21   but do not believe them. More than forty of them are lying in wait for him; they have bound themselves by oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him. They are now ready and only wait for your consent."
 acts:23.22   As the commander dismissed the young man he directed him, "Tell no one that you gave me this information."
 acts:23.23   Then he summoned two of the centurions and said, "Get two hundred soldiers ready to go to Caesarea by nine o'clock tonight, along with seventy horsemen and two hundred auxiliaries.
 acts:23.24   Provide mounts for Paul to ride and give him safe conduct to Felix the governor."
 acts:23.25   Then he wrote a letter with this content:
 acts:23.26   "Claudius Lysias to his excellency the governor Felix, greetings.
 acts:23.27   This man, seized by the Jews and about to be murdered by them, I rescued after intervening with my troops when I learned that he was a Roman citizen.
 acts:23.28   I wanted to learn the reason for their accusations against him so I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
 acts:23.29   I discovered that he was accused in matters of controversial questions of their law and not of any charge deserving death or imprisonment.
 acts:23.30   Since it was brought to my attention that there will be a plot against the man, I am sending him to you at once, and have also notified his accusers to state (their case) against him before you."
 acts:23.31   So the soldiers, according to their orders, took Paul and escorted him by night to Antipatris.
 acts:23.32   The next day they re turned to the compound, leaving the horsemen to complete the journey with him.
 acts:23.33   When they arrived in Caesarea they delivered the letter to the governor and presented Paul to him.
 acts:23.34   When he had read it and asked to what province he belonged, and learned that he was from Cilicia,
 acts:23.35   he said, "I shall hear your case when your accusers arrive." Then he ordered that he be held in custody in Herod's praetorium.
    
 acts:24.1    Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and an advocate, a certain Tertullus, and they presented formal charges against Paul to the governor.
 acts:24.2    When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Since we have attained much peace through you, and reforms have been accomplished in this nation through your provident care,
 acts:24.3    we acknowledge this in every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, with all gratitude.
 acts:24.4    But in order not to detain you further, I ask you to give us a brief hearing with your customary graciousness.
 acts:24.5    We found this man to be a pest; he creates dissension among Jews all over the world and is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazoreans.
 acts:24.6    He even tried to desecrate our temple, but we arrested him, [and wished to judge him according to our law.
 acts:24.7    But Lysias, the tribune, came upon us and with great vilence took him away out of our hands, ordering his accusers to come to you.]
 acts:24.8    If you examine him you will be able to learn from him for yourself about everything of which we are accusing him."
 acts:24.9    The Jews also joined in the attack and asserted that these things were so.
 acts:24.10   Then the governor motioned to him to speak and Paul replied, "I know that you have been a judge over this nation for many years and so I am pleased to make my defense before you.
 acts:24.11   As you can verify, not more than twelve days have passed since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
 acts:24.12   Neither in the temple, nor in the synagogues, nor anywhere in the city did they find me arguing with anyone or instigating a riot among the people.
 acts:24.13   Nor can they prove to you the accusations they are now making against me.
 acts:24.14   But this I do admit to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our ancestors and I believe everything that is in accordance with the law and written in the prophets.
 acts:24.15   I have the same hope in God as they themselves have that there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.
 acts:24.16   Because of this, I always strive to keep my conscience clear before God and man.
 acts:24.17   After many years, I came to bring alms for my nation and offerings.
 acts:24.18   While I was so engaged, they found me, after my purification, in the temple without a crowd or disturbance.
 acts:24.19   But some Jews from the province of Asia, who should be here before you to make whatever accusation they might have against me--
 acts:24.20   or let these men themselves state what crime they discovered when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
 acts:24.21   unless it was my one outcry as I stood among them, that 'I am on trial before you today for the resurrection of the dead.'"
 acts:24.22   Then Felix, who was accurately informed about the Way, postponed the trial, saying, "When Lysias the commander comes down, I shall decide your case."
 acts:24.23   He gave orders to the centurion that he should be kept in custody but have some liberty, and that he should not prevent any of his friends from caring for his needs.
 acts:24.24   Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He had Paul summoned and listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
 acts:24.25   But as he spoke about righteousness and self-restraint and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, "You may go for now; when I find an opportunity I shall summon you again."
 acts:24.26   At the same time he hoped that a bribe would be offered him by Paul, and so he sent for him very often and conversed with him.
 acts:24.27   Two years passed and Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. Wishing to ingratiate himself with the Jews, Felix left Paul in prison.
    
 acts:25.1    Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem
 acts:25.2    where the chief priests and Jewish leaders presented him their formal charges against Paul. They asked him
 acts:25.3    as a favor to have him sent to Jerusalem, for they were plotting to kill him along the way.
 acts:25.4    Festus replied that Paul was being held in custody in Caesarea and that he himself would be returning there shortly.
 acts:25.5    He said, "Let your authorities come down with me, and if this man has done something improper, let them accuse him."
 acts:25.6    After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, he went down to Caesarea, and on the following day took his seat on the tribunal and ordered that Paul be brought in.
 acts:25.7    When he appeared, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem surrounded him and brought many serious charges against him, which they were unable to prove.
 acts:25.8    In defending himself Paul said, "I have committed no crime either against the Jewish law or against the temple or against Caesar."
 acts:25.9    Then Festus, wishing to ingratiate himself with the Jews, said to Paul in reply, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and there stand trial before me on these charges?"
 acts:25.10   Paul answered, "I am standing before the tribunal of Caesar; this is where I should be tried. I have committed no crime against the Jews, as you very well know.
 acts:25.11   If I have committed a crime or done anything deserving death, I do not seek to escape the death penalty; but if there is no substance to the charges they are bringing against me, then no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar."
 acts:25.12   Then Festus, after conferring with his council, replied, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go."
 acts:25.13   When a few days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived in Caesarea on a visit to Festus.
 acts:25.14   Since they spent several days there, Festus referred Paul's case to the king, saying, "There is a man here left in custody by Felix.
 acts:25.15   When I was in Jerusalem the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him and demanded his condemnation.
 acts:25.16   I answered them that it was not Roman practice to hand over an accused person before he has faced his accusers and had the opportunity to defend himself against their charge.
 acts:25.17   So when (they) came together here, I made no delay; the next day I took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in.
 acts:25.18   His accusers stood around him, but did not charge him with any of the crimes I suspected.
 acts:25.19   Instead they had some issues with him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus who had died but who Paul claimed was alive.
 acts:25.20   Since I was at a loss how to investigate this controversy, I asked if he were willing to go to Jerusalem and there stand trial on these charges.
 acts:25.21   And when Paul appealed that he be held in custody for the Emperor's decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar."
 acts:25.22   Agrippa said to Festus, "I too should like to hear this man." He replied, "Tomorrow you will hear him."
 acts:25.23   The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great ceremony and entered the audience hall in the company of cohort commanders and the prominent men of the city and, by command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
 acts:25.24   And Festus said, "King Agrippa and all you here present with us, look at this man about whom the whole Jewish populace petitioned me here and in Jerusalem, clamoring that he should live no longer.
 acts:25.25   I found, however, that he had done nothing deserving death, and so when he appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.
 acts:25.26   But I have nothing definite to write about him to our sovereign; therefore I have brought him before all of you, and particularly before you, King Agrippa, so that I may have something to write as a result of this investigation.
 acts:25.27   For it seems senseless to me to send up a prisoner without indicating the charges against him."
    
 acts:26.1    Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You may now speak on your own behalf." So Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense.
 acts:26.2    "I count myself fortunate, King Agrippa, that I am to defend myself before you today against all the charges made against me by the Jews,
 acts:26.3    especially since you are an expert in all the Jewish customs and controversies. And therefore I beg you to listen patiently.
 acts:26.4    My manner of living from my youth, a life spent from the beginning among my people and in Jerusalem, all (the) Jews know.
 acts:26.5    They have known about me from the start, if they are willing to testify, that I have lived my life as a Pharisee, the strictest party of our religion.
 acts:26.6    But now I am standing trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our ancestors.
 acts:26.7    Our twelve tribes hope to attain to that promise as they fervently worship God day and night; and on account of this hope I am accused by Jews, O king.
 acts:26.8    Why is it thought unbelievable among you that God raises the dead?
 acts:26.9    I myself once thought that I had to do many things against the name of Jesus the Nazorean,
 acts:26.10   and I did so in Jerusalem. I imprisoned many of the holy ones with the authorization I received from the chief priests, and when they were to be put to death I cast my vote against them.
 acts:26.11   Many times, in synagogue after synagogue, I punished them in an attempt to force them to blaspheme; I was so enraged against them that I pursued them even to foreign cities.
 acts:26.12   "On one such occasion I was traveling to Damascus with the authorization and commission of the chief priests.
 acts:26.13   At midday, along the way, O king, I saw a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and my traveling companions.
 acts:26.14   We all fell to the ground and I heard a voice saying to me in Hebrew, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goad.'
 acts:26.15   And I said, 'Who are you, sir?' And the Lord replied, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
 acts:26.16   Get up now, and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness of what you have seen (of me) and what you will be shown.
 acts:26.17   I shall deliver you from this people and from the Gentiles to whom I send you,
 acts:26.18   to open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may obtain forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been consecrated by faith in me.'
 acts:26.19   "And so, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.
 acts:26.20   On the contrary, first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem and throughout the whole country of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached the need to repent and turn to God, and to do works giving evidence of repentance.
 acts:26.21   That is why the Jews seized me (when I was) in the temple and tried to kill me.
 acts:26.22   But I have enjoyed God's help to this very day, and so I stand here testifying to small and great alike, saying nothing different from what the prophets and Moses foretold,
 acts:26.23   that the Messiah must suffer and that, as the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles."
 acts:26.24   While Paul was so speaking in his defense, Festus said in a loud voice, "You are mad, Paul; much learning is driving you mad."
 acts:26.25   But Paul replied, "I am not mad, most excellent Festus; I am speaking words of truth and reason.
 acts:26.26   The king knows about these matters and to him I speak boldly, for I cannot believe that (any) of this has escaped his notice; this was not done in a corner.
 acts:26.27   King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you believe."
 acts:26.28   Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You will soon persuade me to play the Christian."
 acts:26.29   Paul replied, "I would pray to God that sooner or later not only you but all who listen to me today might become as I am except for these chains."
 acts:26.30   Then the king rose, and with him the governor and Bernice and the others who sat with them.
 acts:26.31   And after they had withdrawn they said to one another, "This man is doing nothing (at all) that deserves death or imprisonment."
 acts:26.32   And Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."
    
 acts:27.1    When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they handed Paul and some other prisoners over to a centurion named Julius of the Cohort Augusta.
 acts:27.2    We went on board a ship from Adramyttium bound for ports in the province of Asia and set sail. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
 acts:27.3    On the following day we put in at Sidon where Julius was kind enough to allow Paul to visit his friends who took care of him.
 acts:27.4    From there we put out to sea and sailed around the sheltered side of Cyprus because of the headwinds,
 acts:27.5    and crossing the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia.
 acts:27.6    There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship that was sailing to Italy and put us on board.
 acts:27.7    For many days we made little headway, arriving at Cnidus only with difficulty, and because the wind would not permit us to continue our course we sailed for the sheltered side of Crete off Salmone.
 acts:27.8    We sailed past it with difficulty and reached a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.
 acts:27.9    Much time had now passed and sailing had become hazardous because the time of the fast had already gone by, so Paul warned them,
 acts:27.10   "Men, I can see that this voyage will result in severe damage and heavy loss not only to the cargo and the ship, but also to our lives."
 acts:27.11   The centurion, however, paid more attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.
 acts:27.12   Since the harbor was unfavorably situated for spending the winter, the majority planned to put out to sea from there in the hope of reaching Phoenix, a port in Crete facing west-northwest, there to spend the winter.
 acts:27.13   A south wind blew gently, and thinking they had attained their objective, they weighed anchor and sailed along close to the coast of Crete.
 acts:27.14   Before long an offshore wind of hurricane force called a "Northeaster" struck.
 acts:27.15   Since the ship was caught up in it and could not head into the wind we gave way and let ourselves be driven.
 acts:27.16   We passed along the sheltered side of an island named Cauda and managed only with difficulty to get the dinghy under control.
 acts:27.17   They hoisted it aboard, then used cables to undergird the ship. Because of their fear that they would run aground on the shoal of Syrtis, they lowered the drift anchor and were carried along in this way.
 acts:27.18   We were being pounded by the storm so violently that the next day they jettisoned some cargo,
 acts:27.19   and on the third day with their own hands they threw even the ship's tackle overboard.
 acts:27.20   Neither the sun nor the stars were visible for many days, and no small storm raged. Finally, all hope of our surviving was taken away.
 acts:27.21   When many would no longer eat, Paul stood among them and said, "Men, you should have taken my advice and not have set sail from Crete and you would have avoided this disastrous loss.
 acts:27.22   I urge you now to keep up your courage; not one of you will be lost, only the ship.
 acts:27.23   For last night an angel of the God to whom (I) belong and whom I serve stood by me
 acts:27.24   and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You are destined to stand before Caesar; and behold, for your sake, God has granted safety to all who are sailing with you.'
 acts:27.25   Therefore, keep up your courage, men; I trust in God that it will turn out as I have been told.
 acts:27.26   We are destined to run aground on some island."
 acts:27.27   On the fourteenth night, as we were still being driven about on the Adriatic Sea, toward midnight the sailors began to suspect that they were nearing land.
 acts:27.28   They took soundings and found twenty fathoms; a little farther on, they again took soundings and found fifteen fathoms.
 acts:27.29   Fearing that we would run aground on a rocky coast, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.
 acts:27.30   The sailors then tried to abandon ship; they lowered the dinghy to the sea on the pretext of going to lay out anchors from the bow.
 acts:27.31   But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved."
 acts:27.32   So the soldiers cut the ropes of the dinghy and set it adrift.
 acts:27.33   Until the day began to dawn, Paul kept urging all to take some food. He said, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting, going hungry and eating nothing.
 acts:27.34   I urge you, therefore, to take some food; it will help you survive. Not a hair of the head of anyone of you will be lost."
 acts:27.35   When he said this, he took bread, gave thanks to God in front of them all, broke it, and began to eat.
 acts:27.36   They were all encouraged, and took some food themselves.
 acts:27.37   In all, there were two hundred seventy-six of us on the ship.
 acts:27.38   After they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat into the sea.
 acts:27.39   When day came they did not recognize the land, but made out a bay with a beach. They planned to run the ship ashore on it, if they could.
 acts:27.40   So they cast off the anchors and abandoned them to the sea, and at the same time they unfastened the lines of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail into the wind, they made for the beach.
 acts:27.41   But they struck a sandbar and ran the ship aground. The bow was wedged in and could not be moved, but the stern began to break up under the pounding (of the waves).
 acts:27.42   The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners so that none might swim away and escape,
 acts:27.43   but the centurion wanted to save Paul and so kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to the shore,
 acts:27.44   and then the rest, some on planks, others on debris from the ship. In this way, all reached shore safely.

 acts:28.1    Once we had reached safety we learned that the island was called Malta.
 acts:28.2    The natives showed us extraordinary hospitality; they lit a fire and welcomed all of us because it had begun to rain and was cold.
 acts:28.3    Paul had gathered a bundle of brushwood and was putting it on the fire when a viper, escaping from the heat, fastened on his hand.
 acts:28.4    When the natives saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "This man must certainly be a murderer; though he escaped the sea, Justice has not let him remain alive."
 acts:28.5    But he shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no harm.
 acts:28.6    They were expecting him to swell up or suddenly to fall down dead but, after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and began to say that he was a god.
 acts:28.7    In the vicinity of that place were lands belonging to a man named Publius, the chief of the island. He welcomed us and received us cordially as his guests for three days.
 acts:28.8    It so happened that the father of Publius was sick with a fever and dysentery. Paul visited him and, after praying, laid his hands on him and healed him.
 acts:28.9    After this had taken place, the rest of the sick on the island came to Paul and were cured.
 acts:28.10   They paid us great honor and when we eventually set sail they brought us the provisions we needed.
 acts:28.11   Three months later we set sail on a ship that had wintered at the island. It was an Alexandrian ship with the Dioscuri as its figurehead.
 acts:28.12   We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days,
 acts:28.13   and from there we sailed round the coast and arrived at Rhegium. After a day, a south wind came up and in two days we reached Puteoli.
 acts:28.14   There we found some brothers and were urged to stay with them for seven days. And thus we came to Rome.
 acts:28.15   The brothers from there heard about us and came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them, Paul gave thanks to God and took courage.
 acts:28.16   When he entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.
 acts:28.17   Three days later he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered he said to them, "My brothers, although I had done nothing against our people or our ancestral customs, I was handed over to the Romans as a prisoner from Jerusalem.
 acts:28.18   After trying my case the Romans wanted to release me, because they found nothing against me deserving the death penalty.
 acts:28.19   But when the Jews objected, I was obliged to appeal to Caesar, even though I had no accusation to make against my own nation.
 acts:28.20   This is the reason, then, I have requested to see you and to speak with you, for it is on account of the hope of Israel that I wear these chains."
 acts:28.21   They answered him, "We have received no letters from Judea about you, nor has any of the brothers arrived with a damaging report or rumor about you.
 acts:28.22   But we should like to hear you present your views, for we know that this sect is denounced everywhere."
 acts:28.23   So they arranged a day with him and came to his lodgings in great numbers. From early morning until evening, he expounded his position to them, bearing witness to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus from the law of Moses and the prophets.
 acts:28.24   Some were convinced by what he had said, while others did not believe.
 acts:28.25   Without reaching any agreement among themselves they began to leave; then Paul made one final statement. "Well did the holy Spirit speak to your ancestors through the prophet Isaiah, saying:
 acts:28.26   'Go to this people and say: You shall indeed hear but not understand. You shall indeed look but never see.
 acts:28.27   Gross is the heart of this people; they will not hear with their ears; they have closed their eyes, so they may not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and be converted, and I heal them.'
 acts:28.28   Let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen."
 acts:29.29   [When he had said this, the Jews departed, having much argument among themselves.]
 acts:28.30   He remained for two full years in his lodgings. He received all who came to him,
 acts:28.31   and with complete assurance and without hindrance he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.  [end of Acts]

 acts1.5     car Jean a baptise d'eau, mais vous, dans peu de jours, vous serez baptises du Saint Esprit.
 acts1.6     Alors les apotres reunis lui demanderent: Seigneur, est-ce en ce temps que tu retabliras le royaume d'Israel?
 acts1.7     Il leur repondit: Ce n'est pas a vous de connaitre les temps ou les moments que le Pere a fixes de sa propre autorite.
 acts1.8     Mais vous recevrez une puissance, le Saint Esprit survenant sur vous, et vous serez mes temoins a Jerusalem, dans toute la Judee, dans la Samarie, et jusqu'aux extremites de la terre.
 acts1.9     Apres avoir dit cela, il fut eleve pendant qu'ils le regardaient, et une nuee le deroba a leurs yeux.
 acts1.10    Et comme ils avaient les regards fixes vers le ciel pendant qu'il s'en allait, voici, deux hommes vetus de blanc leur apparurent,
 acts1.11    et dirent: Hommes Galileens, pourquoi vous arretez-vous a regarder au ciel? Ce Jesus, qui a ete enleve au ciel du milieu de vous, viendra de la meme maniere que vous l'avez vu allant au ciel.
 acts1.12    Alors ils retournerent a Jerusalem, de la montagne appelee des oliviers, qui est pres de Jerusalem, a la distance d'un chemin de sabbat.
 acts1.13    Quand ils furent arrives, ils monterent dans la chambre haute ou ils se tenaient d'ordinaire; c'etaient Pierre, Jean, Jacques, Andre, Philippe, Thomas, Barthelemy, Matthieu, Jacques, fils d'Alphee, Simon le Zelote, et Jude, fils de Jacques.
 acts1.14    Tous d'un commun accord perseveraient dans la priere, avec les femmes, et Marie, mere de Jesus, et avec les freres de Jesus.
 acts1.15    En ces jours-la, Pierre se leva au milieu des freres, le nombre des personnes reunies etant d'environ cent vingt. Et il dit:
 acts1.16    Hommes freres, il fallait que s'accomplit ce que le Saint Esprit, dans l'Ecriture, a annonce d'avance, par la bouche de David, au sujet de Judas, qui a ete le guide de ceux qui ont saisi Jesus.
 acts1.17    Il etait compte parmi nous, et il avait part au meme ministere.
 acts1.18    Cet homme, ayant acquis un champ avec le salaire du crime, est tombe, s'est rompu par le milieu du corps, et toutes ses entrailles se sont repandues.
 acts1.19    La chose a ete si connue de tous les habitants de Jerusalem que ce champ a ete appele dans leur langue Hakeldama, c'est-a-dire, champ du sang.
 acts1.20    Or, il est ecrit dans le livre des Psaumes: Que sa demeure devienne deserte, Et que personne ne l'habite! Et: Qu'un autre prenne sa charge!
 acts1.21    Il faut donc que, parmi ceux qui nous ont accompagnes tout le temps que le Seigneur Jesus a vecu avec nous,
 acts1.22    depuis le bapteme de Jean jusqu'au jour ou il a ete enleve du milieu de nous, il y en ait un qui nous soit associe comme temoin de sa resurrection.
 acts1.23    Ils en presenterent deux: Joseph appele Barsabbas, surnomme Justus, et Matthias.
 acts1.24    Puis ils firent cette priere: Seigneur, toi qui connais les coeurs de tous, designe lequel de ces deux tu as choisi,
 acts1.25    afin qu'il ait part a ce ministere et a cet apostolat, que Judas a abandonne pour aller en son lieu.
 acts1.26    Ils tirerent au sort, et le sort tomba sur Matthias, qui fut associe aux onze apotres.

Actes 2
 acts2.1     Le jour de la Pentecote, ils etaient tous ensemble dans le meme lieu.
 acts2.2     Tout a coup il vint du ciel un bruit comme celui d'un vent impetueux, et il remplit toute la maison ou ils etaient assis.
 acts2.3     Des langues, semblables a des langues de feu, leur apparurent, separees les unes des autres, et se poserent sur chacun d'eux.
 acts2.4     Et ils furent tous remplis du Saint Esprit, et se mirent a parler en d'autres langues, selon que l'Esprit leur donnait de s'exprimer.
 acts2.5     Or, il y avait en sejour a Jerusalem des Juifs, hommes pieux, de toutes les nations qui sont sous le ciel.
 acts2.6     Au bruit qui eut lieu, la multitude accourut, et elle fut confondue parce que chacun les entendait parler dans sa propre langue.
 acts2.7     Ils etaient tous dans l'etonnement et la surprise, et ils se disaient les uns aux autres: Voici, ces gens qui parlent ne sont-ils pas tous Galileens?
 acts2.8     Et comment les entendons-nous dans notre propre langue a chacun, dans notre langue maternelle?
 acts2.9     Parthes, Medes, Elamites, ceux qui habitent la Mesopotamie, la Judee, la Cappadoce, le Pont, l'Asie,
 acts2.10    la Phrygie, la Pamphylie, l'Egypte, le territoire de la Libye voisine de Cyrene, et ceux qui sont venus de Rome, Juifs et proselytes,
 acts2.11    Cretois et Arabes, comment les entendons-nous parler dans nos langues des merveilles de Dieu?
 acts2.12    Ils etaient tous dans l'etonnement, et, ne sachant que penser, ils se disaient les uns aux autres: Que veut dire ceci?
 acts2.13    Mais d'autres se moquaient, et disaient: Ils sont pleins de vin doux.
 acts2.14    Alors Pierre, se presentant avec les onze, eleva la voix, et leur parla en ces termes: Hommes Juifs, et vous tous qui sejournez a Jerusalem, sachez ceci, et pretez l'oreille a mes paroles!
 acts2.15    Ces gens ne sont pas ivres, comme vous le supposez, car c'est la troisieme heure du jour.
 acts2.16    Mais c'est ici ce qui a ete dit par le prophete Joel:
 acts2.17    Dans les derniers jours, dit Dieu, je repandrai de mon Esprit sur toute chair; Vos fils et vos filles prophetiseront, Vos jeunes gens auront des visions, Et vos vieillards auront des songes.
 acts2.18    Oui, sur mes serviteurs et sur mes servantes, Dans ces jours-la, je repandrai de mon Esprit; et ils prophetiseront.
 acts2.19    Je ferai paraitre des prodiges en haut dans le ciel et des miracles en bas sur la terre, Du sang, du feu, et une vapeur de fumee;
 acts2.20    Le soleil se changera en tenebres, Et la lune en sang, Avant l'arrivee du jour du Seigneur, De ce jour grand et glorieux.
 acts2.21    Alors quiconque invoquera le nom du Seigneur sera sauve.
 acts2.22    Hommes Israelites, ecoutez ces paroles! Jesus de Nazareth, cet homme a qui Dieu a rendu temoignage devant vous par les miracles, les prodiges et les signes qu'il a operes par lui au milieu de vous, comme vous le savez vous-memes;
 acts2.23    cet homme, livre selon le dessein arrete et selon la prescience de Dieu, vous l'avez crucifie, vous l'avez fait mourir par la main des impies.
 acts2.24    Dieu l'a ressuscite, en le delivrant des liens de la mort, parce qu'il n'etait pas possible qu'il fut retenu par elle.
 acts2.25    Car David dit de lui: Je voyais constamment le Seigneur devant moi, Parce qu'il est a ma droite, afin que je ne sois point ebranle.
 acts2.26    Aussi mon coeur est dans la joie, et ma langue dans l'allegresse; Et meme ma chair reposera avec esperance,
 acts2.27    Car tu n'abandonneras pas mon ame dans le sejour des morts, Et tu ne permettras pas que ton Saint voie la corruption.
 acts2.28    Tu m'as fait connaitre les sentiers de la vie, Tu me rempliras de joie par ta presence.
 acts2.29    Hommes freres, qu'il me soit permis de vous dire librement, au sujet du patriarche David, qu'il est mort, qu'il a ete enseveli, et que son sepulcre existe encore aujourd'hui parmi nous.
 acts2.30    Comme il etait prophete, et qu'il savait que Dieu lui avait promis avec serment de faire asseoir un de ses descendants sur son trone,
 acts2.31    c'est la resurrection du Christ qu'il a prevue et annoncee, en disant qu'il ne serait pas abandonne dans le sejour des morts et que sa chair ne verrait pas la corruption.
 acts2.32    C'est ce Jesus que Dieu a ressuscite; nous en sommes tous temoins.
 acts2.33    Eleve par la droite de Dieu, il a recu du Pere le Saint Esprit qui avait ete promis, et il l'a repandu, comme vous le voyez et l'entendez.
 acts2.34    Car David n'est point monte au ciel, mais il dit lui-meme: Le Seigneur a dit a mon Seigneur: Assieds-toi a ma droite,
 acts2.35    Jusqu'a ce que je fasse de tes ennemis ton marchepied.
 acts2.36    Que toute la maison d'Israel sache donc avec certitude que Dieu a fait Seigneur et Christ ce Jesus que vous avez crucifie.
 acts2.37    Apres avoir entendu ce discours, ils eurent le coeur vivement touche, et ils dirent a Pierre et aux autres apotres: Hommes freres, que ferons-nous?
 acts2.38    Pierre leur dit: Repentez-vous, et que chacun de vous soit baptise au nom de Jesus Christ, pour le pardon de vos peches; et vous recevrez le don du Saint Esprit.
 acts2.39    Car la promesse est pour vous, pour vos enfants, et pour tous ceux qui sont au loin, en aussi grand nombre que le Seigneur notre Dieu les appellera.
 acts2.40    Et, par plusieurs autres paroles, il les conjurait et les exhortait, disant: Sauvez-vous de cette generation perverse.
 acts2.41    Ceux qui accepterent sa parole furent baptises; et, en ce jour-la, le nombre des disciples s'augmenta d'environ trois mille ames.
 acts2.42    Ils perseveraient dans l'enseignement des apotres, dans la communion fraternelle, dans la fraction du pain, et dans les prieres.
 acts2.43    La crainte s'emparait de chacun, et il se faisait beaucoup de prodiges et de miracles par les apotres.
 acts2.44    Tous ceux qui croyaient etaient dans le meme lieu, et ils avaient tout en commun.
 acts2.45    Ils vendaient leurs proprietes et leurs biens, et ils en partageaient le produit entre tous, selon les besoins de chacun.
 acts2.46    Ils etaient chaque jour tous ensemble assidus au temple, ils rompaient le pain dans les maisons, et prenaient leur nourriture avec joie et simplicite de coeur,
 acts2.47    louant Dieu, et trouvant grace aupres de tout le peuple. Et le Seigneur ajoutait chaque jour a l'Eglise ceux qui etaient sauves.

Actes 3
 acts3.1     Pierre et Jean montaient ensemble au temple, a l'heure de la priere: c'etait la neuvieme heure.
 acts3.2     Il y avait un homme boiteux de naissance, qu'on portait et qu'on placait tous les jours a la porte du temple appelee la Belle, pour qu'il demandat l'aumone a ceux qui entraient dans le temple.
 acts3.3     Cet homme, voyant Pierre et Jean qui allaient y entrer, leur demanda l'aumone.
 acts3.4     Pierre, de meme que Jean, fixa les yeux sur lui, et dit: Regarde-nous.
 acts3.5     Et il les regardait attentivement, s'attendant a recevoir d'eux quelque chose.
 acts3.6     Alors Pierre lui dit: Je n'ai ni argent, ni or; mais ce que j'ai, je te le donne: au nom de Jesus Christ de Nazareth, leve-toi et marche.
 acts3.7     Et le prenant par la main droite, il le fit lever. Au meme instant, ses pieds et ses chevilles devinrent fermes;
 acts3.8     d'un saut il fut debout, et il se mit a marcher. Il entra avec eux dans le temple, marchant, sautant, et louant Dieu.
 acts3.9     Tout le monde le vit marchant et louant Dieu.
 acts3.10    Ils reconnaissaient que c'etait celui qui etait assis a la Belle porte du temple pour demander l'aumone, et ils furent remplis d'etonnement et de surprise au sujet de ce qui lui etait arrive.
 acts3.11    Comme il ne quittait pas Pierre et Jean, tout le peuple etonne accourut vers eux, au portique dit de Salomon.
 acts3.12    Pierre, voyant cela, dit au peuple: Hommes Israelites, pourquoi vous etonnez-vous de cela? Pourquoi avez-vous les regards fixes sur nous, comme si c'etait par notre propre puissance ou par notre piete que nous eussions fait marcher cet homme?
 acts3.13    Le Dieu d'Abraham, d'Isaac et de Jacob, le Dieu de nos peres, a glorifie son serviteur Jesus, que vous avez livre et renie devant Pilate, qui etait d'avis qu'on le relachat.
 acts3.14    Vous avez renie le Saint et le Juste, et vous avez demande qu'on vous accordat la grace d'un meurtrier.
 acts3.15    Vous avez fait mourir le Prince de la vie, que Dieu a ressuscite des morts; nous en sommes temoins.
 acts3.16    C'est par la foi en son nom que son nom a raffermi celui que vous voyez et connaissez; c'est la foi en lui qui a donne a cet homme cette entiere guerison, en presence de vous tous.
 acts3.17    Et maintenant, freres, je sais que vous avez agi par ignorance, ainsi que vos chefs.
 acts3.18    Mais Dieu a accompli de la sorte ce qu'il avait annonce d'avance par la bouche de tous ses prophetes, que son Christ devait souffrir.
 acts3.19    Repentez-vous donc et convertissez-vous, pour que vos peches soient effaces,
 acts3.20    afin que des temps de rafraichissement viennent de la part du Seigneur, et qu'il envoie celui qui vous a ete destine, Jesus Christ,
 acts3.21    que le ciel doit recevoir jusqu'aux temps du retablissement de toutes choses, dont Dieu a parle anciennement par la bouche de ses saints prophetes.
 acts3.22    Moise a dit: Le Seigneur votre Dieu vous suscitera d'entre vos freres un prophete comme moi; vous l'ecouterez dans tout ce qu'il vous dira,
 acts3.23    et quiconque n'ecoutera pas ce prophete sera extermine du milieu du peuple.
 acts3.24    Tous les prophetes qui ont successivement parle, depuis Samuel, ont aussi annonce ces jours-la.
 acts3.25    Vous etes les fils des prophetes et de l'alliance que Dieu a traitee avec nos peres, en disant a Abraham: Toutes les familles de la terre seront benies en ta posterite.
 acts3.26    C'est a vous premierement que Dieu, ayant suscite son serviteur, l'a envoye pour vous benir, en detournant chacun de vous de ses iniquites.

Actes 4
 acts4.1     Tandis que Pierre et Jean parlaient au peuple, survinrent les sacrificateurs, le commandant du temple, et les sadduceens,
 acts4.2     mecontents de ce qu'ils enseignaient le peuple, et annoncaient en la personne de Jesus la resurrection des morts.
 acts4.3     Ils mirent les mains sur eux, et ils les jeterent en prison jusqu'au lendemain; car c'etait deja le soir.
 acts4.4     Cependant, beaucoup de ceux qui avaient entendu la parole crurent, et le nombre des hommes s'eleva a environ cinq mille.
 acts4.5     Le lendemain, les chefs du peuple, les anciens et les scribes, s'assemblerent a Jerusalem,
 acts4.6     avec Anne, le souverain sacrificateur, Caiphe, Jean, Alexandre, et tous ceux qui etaient de la race des principaux sacrificateurs.
 acts4.7     Ils firent placer au milieu d'eux Pierre et Jean, et leur demanderent: Par quel pouvoir, ou au nom de qui avez-vous fait cela?
 acts4.8     Alors Pierre, rempli du Saint Esprit, leur dit: Chefs du peuple, et anciens d'Israel,
 acts4.9     puisque nous sommes interroges aujourd'hui sur un bienfait accorde a un homme malade, afin que nous disions comment il a ete gueri,
 acts4.10    0sachez-le tous, et que tout le peuple d'Israel le sache! C'est par le nom de Jesus Christ de Nazareth, que vous avez ete crucifie, et que Dieu a ressuscite des morts, c'est par lui que cet homme se presente en pleine sante devant vous.
 acts4.11    Jesus est La pierre rejetee par vous qui batissez, Et qui est devenue la principale de l'angle.
 acts4.12    Il n'y a de salut en aucun autre; car il n'y a sous le ciel aucun autre nom qui ait ete donne parmi les hommes, par lequel nous devions etre sauves.
 acts4.13    Lorsqu'ils virent l'assurance de Pierre et de Jean, ils furent etonnes, sachant que c'etaient des hommes du peuple sans instruction; et ils les reconnurent pour avoir ete avec Jesus.
 acts4.14    Mais comme ils voyaient la pres d'eux l'homme qui avait ete gueri, ils n'avaient rien a repliquer.
 acts4.15    Ils leur ordonnerent de sortir du sanhedrin, et ils delibererent entre eux, disant: Que ferons-nous a ces hommes?
 acts4.16    Car il est manifeste pour tous les habitants de Jerusalem qu'un miracle signale a ete accompli par eux, et nous ne pouvons pas le nier.
 acts4.17    Mais, afin que la chose ne se repande pas davantage parmi le peuple, defendons-leur avec menaces de parler desormais a qui que ce soit en ce nom-la.
 acts4.18    Et les ayant appeles, ils leur defendirent absolument de parler et d'enseigner au nom de Jesus.
 acts4.19    Pierre et Jean leur repondirent: Jugez s'il est juste, devant Dieu, de vous obeir plutot qu'a Dieu;
 acts4.20    car nous ne pouvons pas ne pas parler de ce que nous avons vu et entendu.
 acts4.21    Ils leur firent de nouvelles menaces, et les relacherent, ne sachant comment les punir, a cause du peuple, parce que tous glorifiaient Dieu de ce qui etait arrive.
 acts4.22    Car l'homme qui avait ete l'objet de cette guerison miraculeuse etait age de plus de quarante ans.
 acts4.23    Apres avoir ete relaches, ils allerent vers les leurs, et raconterent tout ce que les principaux sacrificateurs et les anciens leur avaient dit.
 acts4.24    Lorsqu'ils l'eurent entendu, ils eleverent a Dieu la voix tous ensemble, et dirent: Seigneur, toi qui as fait le ciel, la terre, la mer, et tout ce qui s'y trouve,
 acts4.25    c'est toi qui as dit par le Saint Esprit, par la bouche de notre pere, ton serviteur David: Pourquoi ce tumulte parmi les nations, Et ces vaines pensees parmi les peuples?
 acts4.26    Les rois de la terre se sont souleves, Et les princes se sont ligues Contre le Seigneur et contre son Oint.
 acts4.27    En effet, contre ton saint serviteur Jesus, que tu as oint, Herode et Ponce Pilate se sont ligues dans cette ville avec les nations et avec les peuples d'Israel,
 acts4.28    pour faire tout ce que ta main et ton conseil avaient arrete d'avance.
 acts4.29    Et maintenant, Seigneur, vois leurs menaces, et donne a tes serviteurs d'annoncer ta parole avec une pleine assurance,
 acts4.30    en etendant ta main, pour qu'il se fasse des guerisons, des miracles et des prodiges, par le nom de ton saint serviteur Jesus.
 acts4.31    Quand ils eurent prie, le lieu ou ils etaient assembles trembla; ils furent tous remplis du Saint Esprit, et ils annoncaient la parole de Dieu avec assurance.
 acts4.32    La multitude de ceux qui avaient cru n'etait qu'un coeur et qu'une ame. Nul ne disait que ses biens lui appartinssent en propre, mais tout etait commun entre eux.
 acts4.33    Les apotres rendaient avec beaucoup de force temoignage de la resurrection du Seigneur Jesus. Et une grande grace reposait sur eux tous.
 acts4.34    Car il n'y avait parmi eux aucun indigent: tous ceux qui possedaient des champs ou des maisons les vendaient, apportaient le prix de ce qu'ils avaient vendu,
 acts4.35    et le deposaient aux pieds des apotres; et l'on faisait des distributions a chacun selon qu'il en avait besoin.
 acts4.36    Joseph, surnomme par les apotres Barnabas, ce qui signifie fils d'exhortation, Levite, originaire de Chypre,
 acts4.37    vendit un champ qu'il possedait, apporta l'argent, et le deposa aux pieds des apotres.

Actes 5
 acts5.1     Mais un homme nomme Ananias, avec Saphira sa femme, vendit une propriete,
 acts5.2     et retint une partie du prix, sa femme le sachant; puis il apporta le reste, et le deposa aux pieds des apotres.
 acts5.3     Pierre lui dit: Ananias, pourquoi Satan a-t-il rempli ton coeur, au point que tu mentes au Saint Esprit, et que tu aies retenu une partie du prix du champ?
 acts5.4     S'il n'eut pas ete vendu, ne te restait-il pas? Et, apres qu'il a ete vendu, le prix n'etait-il pas a ta disposition? Comment as-tu pu mettre en ton coeur un pareil dessein? Ce n'est pas a des hommes que tu as menti, mais a Dieu.
 acts5.5     Ananias, entendant ces paroles, tomba, et expira. Une grande crainte saisit tous les auditeurs.
 acts5.6     Les jeunes gens, s'etant leves, l'envelopperent, l'emporterent, et l'ensevelirent.
 acts5.7     Environ trois heures plus tard, sa femme entra, sans savoir ce qui etait arrive.
 acts5.8     Pierre lui adressa la parole: Dis-moi, est-ce a un tel prix que vous avez vendu le champ? Oui, repondit-elle, c'est a ce prix-la.
 acts5.9     Alors Pierre lui dit: Comment vous etes-vous accordes pour tenter l'Esprit du Seigneur? Voici, ceux qui ont enseveli ton mari sont a la porte, et ils t'emporteront.
 acts5.10    Au meme instant, elle tomba aux pieds de l'apotre, et expira. Les jeunes gens, etant entres, la trouverent morte; ils l'emporterent, et l'ensevelirent aupres de son mari.
 acts5.11    Une grande crainte s'empara de toute l'assemblee et de tous ceux qui apprirent ces choses.
 acts5.12    Beaucoup de miracles et de prodiges se faisaient au milieu du peuple par les mains des apotres. Ils se tenaient tous ensemble au portique de Salomon,
 acts5.13    et aucun des autres n'osait se joindre a eux; mais le peuple les louait hautement.
 acts5.14    Le nombre de ceux qui croyaient au Seigneur, hommes et femmes, s'augmentait de plus en plus;
 acts5.15    en sorte qu'on apportait les malades dans les rues et qu'on les placait sur des lits et des couchettes, afin que, lorsque Pierre passerait, son ombre au moins couvrit quelqu'un d'eux.
 acts5.16    La multitude accourait aussi des villes voisines a Jerusalem, amenant des malades et des gens tourmentes par des esprits impurs; et tous etaient gueris.
 acts5.17    Cependant le souverain sacrificateur et tous ceux qui etaient avec lui, savoir le parti des sadduceens, se leverent, remplis de jalousie,
 acts5.18    mirent les mains sur les apotres, et les jeterent dans la prison publique.
 acts5.19    Mais un ange du Seigneur, ayant ouvert pendant la nuit les portes de la prison, les fit sortir, et leur dit:
 acts5.20    Allez, tenez-vous dans le temple, et annoncez au peuple toutes les paroles de cette vie.
 acts5.21    Ayant entendu cela, ils entrerent des le matin dans le temple, et se mirent a enseigner. Le souverain sacrificateur et ceux qui etaient avec lui etant survenus, ils convoquerent le sanhedrin et tous les anciens des fils d'Israel, et ils envoyerent chercher les apotres a la prison.
 acts5.22    Les huissiers, a leur arrivee, ne les trouverent point dans la prison. Ils s'en retournerent, et firent leur rapport,
 acts5.23    en disant: Nous avons trouve la prison soigneusement fermee, et les gardes qui etaient devant les portes; mais, apres avoir ouvert, nous n'avons trouve personne dedans.
 acts5.24    Lorsqu'ils eurent entendu ces paroles, le commandant du temple et les principaux sacrificateurs ne savaient que penser des apotres et des suites de cette affaire.
 acts5.25    Quelqu'un vint leur dire: Voici, les hommes que vous avez mis en prison sont dans le temple, et ils enseignent le peuple.
 acts5.26    Alors le commandant partit avec les huissiers, et les conduisit sans violence, car ils avaient peur d'etre lapides par le peuple.
 acts5.27    Apres qu'ils les eurent amenes en presence du sanhedrin, le souverain sacrificateur les interrogea en ces termes:
 acts5.28    Ne vous avons-nous pas defendu expressement d'enseigner en ce nom-la? Et voici, vous avez rempli Jerusalem de votre enseignement, et vous voulez faire retomber sur nous le sang de cet homme!
 acts5.29    Pierre et les apotres repondirent: Il faut obeir a Dieu plutot qu'aux hommes.
 acts5.30    Le Dieu de nos peres a ressuscite Jesus, que vous avez tue, en le pendant au bois.
 acts5.31    Dieu l'a eleve par sa droite comme Prince et Sauveur, pour donner a Israel la repentance et le pardon des peches.
 acts5.32    Nous sommes temoins de ces choses, de meme que le Saint Esprit, que Dieu a donne a ceux qui lui obeissent.
 acts5.33    Furieux de ces paroles, ils voulaient les faire mourir.
 acts5.34    Mais un pharisien, nomme Gamaliel, docteur de la loi, estime de tout le peuple, se leva dans le sanhedrin, et ordonna de faire sortir un instant les apotres.
 acts5.35    Puis il leur dit: Hommes Israelites, prenez garde a ce que vous allez faire a l'egard de ces gens.
 acts5.36    Car, il n'y a pas longtemps que parut Theudas, qui se donnait pour quelque chose, et auquel se rallierent environ quatre cents hommes: il fut tue, et tous ceux qui l'avaient suivi furent mis en deroute et reduits a rien.
 acts5.37    Apres lui, parut Judas le Galileen, a l'epoque du recensement, et il attira du monde a son parti: il perit aussi, et tous ceux qui l'avaient suivi furent disperses.
 acts5.38    Et maintenant, je vous le dis ne vous occupez plus de ces hommes, et laissez-les aller. Si cette entreprise ou cette oeuvre vient des hommes, elle se detruira;
 acts5.39    mais si elle vient de Dieu, vous ne pourrez la detruire. Ne courez pas le risque d'avoir combattu contre Dieu.
 acts5.40    Ils se rangerent a son avis. Et ayant appele les apotres, ils les firent battre de verges, ils leur defendirent de parler au nom de Jesus, et ils les relacherent.
 acts5.41    Les apotres se retirerent de devant le sanhedrin, joyeux d'avoir ete juges dignes de subir des outrages pour le nom de Jesus.
 acts5.42    Et chaque jour, dans le temple et dans les maisons, ils ne cessaient d'enseigner, et d'annoncer la bonne nouvelle de Jesus Christ.

Actes 6
 acts6.1     En ce temps-la, le nombre des disciples augmentant, les Hellenistes murmurerent contre les Hebreux, parce que leurs veuves etaient negligees dans la distribution qui se faisait chaque jour.
 acts6.2     Les douze convoquerent la multitude des disciples, et dirent: Il n'est pas convenable que nous laissions la parole de Dieu pour servir aux tables.
 acts6.3     C'est pourquoi, freres, choisissez parmi vous sept hommes, de qui l'on rende un bon temoignage, qui soient pleins d'Esprit Saint et de sagesse, et que nous chargerons de cet emploi.
 acts6.4     Et nous, nous continuerons a nous appliquer a la priere et au ministere de la parole.
 acts6.5     Cette proposition plut a toute l'assemblee. Ils elurent Etienne, homme plein de foi et d'Esprit Saint, Philippe, Prochore, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, et Nicolas, proselyte d'Antioche.
 acts6.6     Ils les presenterent aux apotres, qui, apres avoir prie, leur imposerent les mains.
 acts6.7     La parole de Dieu se repandait de plus en plus, le nombre des disciples augmentait beaucoup a Jerusalem, et une grande foule de sacrificateurs obeissaient a la foi.
 acts6.8     Etienne, plein de grace et de puissance, faisait des prodiges et de grands miracles parmi le peuple.
 acts6.9     Quelques membres de la synagogue dite des Affranchis, de celle des Cyreneens et de celle des Alexandrins, avec des Juifs de Cilicie et d'Asie, se mirent a discuter avec lui;
 acts6.10    mais ils ne pouvaient resister a sa sagesse et a l'Esprit par lequel il parlait.
 acts6.11    Alors ils subornerent des hommes qui dirent: Nous l'avons entendu proferer des paroles blasphematoires contre Moise et contre Dieu.
 acts6.12    Ils emurent le peuple, les anciens et les scribes, et, se jetant sur lui, ils le saisirent, et l'emmenerent au sanhedrin.
 acts6.13    Ils produisirent de faux temoins, qui dirent: Cet homme ne cesse de proferer des paroles contre le lieu saint et contre la loi;
 acts6.14    car nous l'avons entendu dire que Jesus, ce Nazareen, detruira ce lieu, et changera les coutumes que Moise nous a donnees.
 acts6.15    Tous ceux qui siegeaient au sanhedrin ayant fixe les regards sur Etienne, son visage leur parut comme celui d'un ange.

Actes 7
 acts7.1     Le souverain sacrificateur dit: Les choses sont-elles ainsi?
 acts7.2     Etienne repondit: Hommes freres et peres, ecoutez! Le Dieu de gloire apparut a notre pere Abraham, lorsqu'il etait en Mesopotamie, avant qu'il s'etablit a Charran; et il lui dit:
 acts7.3     Quitte ton pays et ta famille, et va dans le pays que je te montrerai.
 acts7.4     Il sortit alors du pays des Chaldeens, et s'etablit a Charran. De la, apres la mort de son pere, Dieu le fit passer dans ce pays que vous habitez maintenant;
 acts7.5     il ne lui donna aucune propriete en ce pays, pas meme de quoi poser le pied, mais il promit de lui en donner la possession, et a sa posterite apres lui, quoiqu'il n'eut point d'enfant.
 acts7.6     Dieu parla ainsi: Sa posterite sejournera dans un pays etranger; on la reduira en servitude et on la maltraitera pendant quatre cents ans.
 acts7.7     Mais la nation a laquelle ils auront ete asservis, c'est moi qui la jugerai, dit Dieu. Apres cela, ils sortiront, et ils me serviront dans ce lieu-ci.
 acts7.8     Puis Dieu donna a Abraham l'alliance de la circoncision; et ainsi, Abraham, ayant engendre Isaac, le circoncit le huitieme jour; Isaac engendra et circoncit Jacob, et Jacob les douze patriarches.
 acts7.9     Les patriarches, jaloux de Joseph, le vendirent pour etre emmene en Egypte.
 acts7.10    0Mais Dieu fut avec lui, et le delivra de toutes ses tribulations; il lui donna de la sagesse et lui fit trouver grace devant Pharaon, roi d'Egypte, qui l'etablit gouverneur d'Egypte et de toute sa maison.
 acts7.11    Il survint une famine dans tout le pays d'Egypte, et dans celui de Canaan. La detresse etait grande, et nos peres ne trouvaient pas de quoi se nourrir.
 acts7.12    Jacob apprit qu'il y avait du ble en Egypte, et il y envoya nos peres une premiere fois.
 acts7.13    Et la seconde fois, Joseph fut reconnu par ses freres, et Pharaon sut de quelle famille il etait.
 acts7.14    Puis Joseph envoya chercher son pere Jacob, et toute sa famille, composee de soixante-quinze personnes.
 acts7.15    Jacob descendit en Egypte, ou il mourut, ainsi que nos peres;
 acts7.16    et ils furent transportes a Sichem, et deposes dans le sepulcre qu'Abraham avait achete, a prix d'argent, des fils d'Hemor, pere de Sichem.
 acts7.17    Le temps approchait ou devait s'accomplir la promesse que Dieu avait faite a Abraham, et le peuple s'accrut et se multiplia en Egypte,
 acts7.18    jusqu'a ce que parut un autre roi, qui n'avait pas connu Joseph.
 acts7.19    Ce roi, usant d'artifice contre notre race, maltraita nos peres, au point de leur faire exposer leurs enfants, pour qu'ils ne vecussent pas.
 acts7.20    A cette epoque, naquit Moise, qui etait beau aux yeux de Dieu. Il fut nourri trois mois dans la maison de son pere;
 acts7.21    et, quand il eut ete expose, la fille de Pharaon le recueillit, et l'eleva comme son fils.
 acts7.22    Moise fut instruit dans toute la sagesse des Egyptiens, et il etait puissant en paroles et en oeuvres.
 acts7.23    Il avait quarante ans, lorsqu'il lui vint dans le coeur de visiter ses freres, les fils d'Israel.
 acts7.24    Il en vit un qu'on outrageait, et, prenant sa defense, il vengea celui qui etait maltraite, et frappa l'Egyptien.
 acts7.25    Il pensait que ses freres comprendraient que Dieu leur accordait la delivrance par sa main; mais ils ne comprirent pas.
 acts7.26    Le jour suivant, il parut au milieu d'eux comme ils se battaient, et il les exhorta a la paix: Hommes, dit-il, vous etes freres; pourquoi vous maltraitez-vous l'un l'autre?
 acts7.27    Mais celui qui maltraitait son prochain le repoussa, en disant: Qui t'a etabli chef et juge sur nous?
 acts7.28    Veux-tu me tuer, comme tu as tue hier l'Egyptien?
 acts7.29    A cette parole, Moise prit la fuite, et il alla sejourner dans le pays de Madian, ou il engendra deux fils.
 acts7.30    Quarante ans plus tard, un ange lui apparut, au desert de la montagne de Sinai, dans la flamme d'un buisson en feu.
 acts7.31    Moise, voyant cela, fut etonne de cette apparition; et, comme il s'approchait pour examiner, la voix du Seigneur se fit entendre:
 acts7.32    Je suis le Dieu de tes peres, le Dieu d'Abraham, d'Isaac et de Jacob. Et Moise, tout tremblant, n'osait regarder.
 acts7.33    Le Seigneur lui dit: Ote tes souliers de tes pieds, car le lieu sur lequel tu te tiens est une terre sainte.
 acts7.34    J'ai vu la souffrance de mon peuple qui est en Egypte, j'ai entendu ses gemissements, et je suis descendu pour le delivrer. Maintenant, va, je t'enverrai en Egypte.
 acts7.35    Ce Moise, qu'ils avaient renie, en disant: Qui t'a etabli chef et juge? c'est lui que Dieu envoya comme chef et comme liberateur avec l'aide de l'ange qui lui etait apparu dans le buisson.
 acts7.36    C'est lui qui les fit sortir d'Egypte, en operant des prodiges et des miracles au pays d'Egypte, au sein de la mer Rouge, et au desert, pendant quarante ans.
 acts7.37    C'est ce Moise qui dit aux fils d'Israel: Dieu vous suscitera d'entre vos freres un prophete comme moi.
 acts7.38    C'est lui qui, lors de l'assemblee au desert, etant avec l'ange qui lui parlait sur la montagne de Sinai et avec nos peres, recut des oracles vivants, pour nous les donner.
 acts7.39    Nos peres ne voulurent pas lui obeir, ils le repousserent, et ils tournerent leur coeur vers l'Egypte,
 acts7.40    en disant a Aaron: Fais-nous des dieux qui marchent devant nous; car ce Moise qui nous a fait sortir du pays d'Egypte, nous ne savons ce qu'il est devenu.
 acts7.41    Et, en ces jours-la, ils firent un veau, ils offrirent un sacrifice a l'idole, et se rejouirent de l'oeuvre de leurs mains.
 acts7.42    Alors Dieu se detourna, et les livra au culte de l'armee du ciel, selon qu'il est ecrit dans le livre des prophetes: M'avez-vous offert des victimes et des sacrifices Pendant quarante ans au desert, maison d'Israel?...
 acts7.43    Vous avez porte la tente de Moloch Et l'etoile du dieu Remphan, Ces images que vous avez faites pour les adorer! Aussi vous transporterai-je au dela de Babylone.
 acts7.44    Nos peres avaient au desert le tabernacle du temoignage, comme l'avait ordonne celui qui dit a Moise de le faire d'apres le modele qu'il avait vu.
 acts7.45    Et nos peres, l'ayant recu, l'introduisirent, sous la conduite de Josue, dans le pays qui etait possede par les nations que Dieu chassa devant eux, et il y resta jusqu'aux jours de David.
 acts7.46    David trouva grace devant Dieu, et demanda d'elever une demeure pour le Dieu de Jacob;
 acts7.47    et ce fut Salomon qui lui batit une maison.
 acts7.48    Mais le Tres Haut n'habite pas dans ce qui est fait de main d'homme, comme dit le prophete:
 acts7.49    Le ciel est mon trone, Et la terre mon marchepied. Quelle maison me batirez-vous, dit le Seigneur, Ou quel sera le lieu de mon repos?
 acts7.50    N'est-ce pas ma main qui a fait toutes ces choses?...
 acts7.51    Hommes au cou raide, incirconcis de coeur et d'oreilles! vous vous opposez toujours au Saint Esprit. Ce que vos peres ont ete, vous l'etes aussi.
 acts7.52    Lequel des prophetes vos peres n'ont-ils pas persecute? Ils ont tue ceux qui annoncaient d'avance la venue du Juste, que vous avez livre maintenant, et dont vous avez ete les meurtriers,
 acts7.53    vous qui avez recu la loi d'apres des commandements d'anges, et qui ne l'avez point gardee!...
 acts7.54    En entendant ces paroles, ils etaient furieux dans leur coeur, et ils grincaient des dents contre lui.
 acts7.55    Mais Etienne, rempli du Saint Esprit, et fixant les regards vers le ciel, vit la gloire de Dieu et Jesus debout a la droite de Dieu.
 acts7.56    Et il dit: Voici, je vois les cieux ouverts, et le Fils de l'homme debout a la droite de Dieu.
 acts7.57    Ils pousserent alors de grands cris, en se bouchant les oreilles, et ils se precipiterent tous ensemble sur lui,
 acts7.58    le trainerent hors de la ville, et le lapiderent. Les temoins deposerent leurs vetements aux pieds d'un jeune homme nomme Saul.
 acts7.59    Et ils lapidaient Etienne, qui priait et disait: Seigneur Jesus, recois mon esprit!
 acts7.60    Puis, s'etant mis a genoux, il s'ecria d'une voix forte: Seigneur, ne leur impute pas ce peche! Et, apres ces paroles, il s'endormit.

Actes 8
 acts8.1     Saul avait approuve le meurtre d'Etienne. Il y eut, ce jour-la, une grande persecution contre l'Eglise de Jerusalem; et tous, excepte les apotres, se disperserent dans les contrees de la Judee et de la Samarie.
 acts8.2     Des hommes pieux ensevelirent Etienne, et le pleurerent a grand bruit.
 acts8.3     Saul, de son cote, ravageait l'Eglise; penetrant dans les maisons, il en arrachait hommes et femmes, et les faisait jeter en prison.
 acts8.4     Ceux qui avaient ete disperses allaient de lieu en lieu, annoncant la bonne nouvelle de la parole.
 acts8.5     Philippe, etant descendu dans la ville de Samarie, y precha le Christ.
 acts8.6     Les foules tout entieres etaient attentives a ce que disait Philippe, lorsqu'elles apprirent et virent les miracles qu'il faisait.
 acts8.7     Car des esprits impurs sortirent de plusieurs demoniaques, en poussant de grands cris, et beaucoup de paralytiques et de boiteux furent gueris.
 acts8.8     Et il y eut une grande joie dans cette ville.
 acts8.9     Il y avait auparavant dans la ville un homme nomme Simon, qui, se donnant pour un personnage important, exercait la magie et provoquait l'etonnement du peuple de la Samarie.
 acts8.10    Tous, depuis le plus petit jusqu'au plus grand, l'ecoutaient attentivement, et disaient: Celui-ci est la puissance de Dieu, celle qui s'appelle la grande.
 acts8.11    Ils l'ecoutaient attentivement, parce qu'il les avait longtemps etonnes par ses actes de magie.
 acts8.12    Mais, quand ils eurent cru a Philippe, qui leur annoncait la bonne nouvelle du royaume de Dieu et du nom de Jesus Christ, hommes et femmes se firent baptiser.
 acts8.13    Simon lui-meme crut, et, apres avoir ete baptise, il ne quittait plus Philippe, et il voyait avec etonnement les miracles et les grands prodiges qui s'operaient.
 acts8.14    Les apotres, qui etaient a Jerusalem, ayant appris que la Samarie avait recu la parole de Dieu, y envoyerent Pierre et Jean.
 acts8.15    Ceux-ci, arrives chez les Samaritains, prierent pour eux, afin qu'ils recussent le Saint Esprit.
 acts8.16    Car il n'etait encore descendu sur aucun d'eux; ils avaient seulement ete baptises au nom du Seigneur Jesus.
 acts8.17    Alors Pierre et Jean leur imposerent les mains, et ils recurent le Saint Esprit.
 acts8.18    Lorsque Simon vit que le Saint Esprit etait donne par l'imposition des mains des apotres, il leur offrit de l'argent,
 acts8.19    en disant: Accordez-moi aussi ce pouvoir, afin que celui a qui j'imposerai les mains recoive le Saint Esprit.
 acts8.20    Mais Pierre lui dit: Que ton argent perisse avec toi, puisque tu as cru que le don de Dieu s'acquerait a prix d'argent!
 acts8.21    Il n'y a pour toi ni part ni lot dans cette affaire, car ton coeur n'est pas droit devant Dieu.
 acts8.22    Repens-toi donc de ta mechancete, et prie le Seigneur pour que la pensee de ton coeur te soit pardonnee, s'il est possible;
 acts8.23    car je vois que tu es dans un fiel amer et dans les liens de l'iniquite.
 acts8.24    Simon repondit: Priez vous-memes le Seigneur pour moi, afin qu'il ne m'arrive rien de ce que vous avez dit.
 acts8.25    Apres avoir rendu temoignage a la parole du Seigneur, et apres l'avoir prechee, Pierre et Jean retournerent a Jerusalem, en annoncant la bonne nouvelle dans plusieurs villages des Samaritains.
 acts8.26    Un ange du Seigneur, s'adressant a Philippe, lui dit: Leve-toi, et va du cote du midi, sur le chemin qui descend de Jerusalem a Gaza, celui qui est desert.
 acts8.27    Il se leva, et partit. Et voici, un Ethiopien, un eunuque, ministre de Candace, reine d'Ethiopie, et surintendant de tous ses tresors, venu a Jerusalem pour adorer,
 acts8.28    s'en retournait, assis sur son char, et lisait le prophete Esaie.
 acts8.29    L'Esprit dit a Philippe: Avance, et approche-toi de ce char.
 acts8.30    Philippe accourut, et entendit l'Ethiopien qui lisait le prophete Esaie. Il lui dit: Comprends-tu ce que tu lis?
 acts8.31    Il repondit: Comment le pourrais-je, si quelqu'un ne me guide? Et il invita Philippe a monter et a s'asseoir avec lui.
 acts8.32    Le passage de l'Ecriture qu'il lisait etait celui-ci: Il a ete mene comme une brebis a la boucherie; Et, comme un agneau muet devant celui qui le tond, Il n'a point ouvert la bouche.
 acts8.33    Dans son humiliation, son jugement a ete leve. Et sa posterite, qui la depeindra? Car sa vie a ete retranchee de la terre.
 acts8.34    L'eunuque dit a Philippe: Je te prie, de qui le prophete parle-t-il ainsi? Est-ce de lui-meme, ou de quelque autre?
 acts8.35    Alors Philippe, ouvrant la bouche et commencant par ce passage, lui annonca la bonne nouvelle de Jesus.
 acts8.36    Comme ils continuaient leur chemin, ils rencontrerent de l'eau. Et l'eunuque dit: Voici de l'eau; qu'est-ce qui empeche que je ne sois baptise?
 actss.37    Philippe dit: Si tu crois de tout ton coeur, cela est possible. L'eunuque repondit: Je crois que Jesus Christ est le Fils de Dieu.
 acts8.38    Il fit arreter le char; Philippe et l'eunuque descendirent tous deux dans l'eau, et Philippe baptisa l'eunuque.
 acts8.39    Quand ils furent sortis de l'eau, l'Esprit du Seigneur enleva Philippe, et l'eunuque ne le vit plus. Tandis que, joyeux, il poursuivait sa route,
 acts8.40    Philippe se trouva dans Azot, d'ou il alla jusqu'a Cesaree, en evangelisant toutes les villes par lesquelles il passait.

Actes 9
 acts9.1     Cependant Saul, respirant encore la menace et le meurtre contre les disciples du Seigneur, se rendit chez le souverain sacrificateur,
 acts9.2     et lui demanda des lettres pour les synagogues de Damas, afin que, s'il trouvait des partisans de la nouvelle doctrine, hommes ou femmes, il les amenat lies a Jerusalem.
 acts9.3     Comme il etait en chemin, et qu'il approchait de Damas, tout a coup une lumiere venant du ciel resplendit autour de lui.
 acts9.4     Il tomba par terre, et il entendit une voix qui lui disait: Saul, Saul, pourquoi me persecutes-tu?
 acts9.5     Il repondit: Qui es-tu, Seigneur? Et le Seigneur dit: Je suis Jesus que tu persecutes. Il te serait dur de regimber contre les aiguillons.
 acts9.6     Tremblant et saisi d'effroi, il dit: Seigneur, que veux-tu que je fasse? Et le Seigneur lui dit: Leve-toi, entre dans la ville, et on te dira ce que tu dois faire.
 acts9.7     Les hommes qui l'accompagnaient demeurerent stupefaits; ils entendaient bien la voix, mais ils ne voyaient personne.
 acts9.8     Saul se releva de terre, et, quoique ses yeux fussent ouverts, il ne voyait rien; on le prit par la main, et on le conduisit a Damas.
 acts9.9     Il resta trois jours sans voir, et il ne mangea ni ne but.
 acts9.10    Or, il y avait a Damas un disciple nomme Ananias. Le Seigneur lui dit dans une vision: Ananias! Il repondit: Me voici, Seigneur!
 acts9.11    Et le Seigneur lui dit: Leve-toi, va dans la rue qu'on appelle la droite, et cherche, dans la maison de Judas, un nomme Saul de Tarse.
 acts9.12    Car il prie, et il a vu en vision un homme du nom d'Ananias, qui entrait, et qui lui imposait les mains, afin qu'il recouvrat la vue. Ananias repondit:
 acts9.13    Seigneur, j'ai appris de plusieurs personnes tous les maux que cet homme a faits a tes saints dans Jerusalem;
 acts9.14    et il a ici des pouvoirs, de la part des principaux sacrificateurs, pour lier tous ceux qui invoquent ton nom.
 acts9.15    Mais le Seigneur lui dit: Va, car cet homme est un instrument que j'ai choisi, pour porter mon nom devant les nations, devant les rois, et devant les fils d'Israel;
 acts9.16    et je lui montrerai tout ce qu'il doit souffrir pour mon nom.
 acts9.17    Ananias sortit; et, lorsqu'il fut arrive dans la maison, il imposa les mains a Saul, en disant: Saul, mon frere, le Seigneur Jesus, qui t'est apparu sur le chemin par lequel tu venais, m'a envoye pour que tu recouvres la vue et que tu sois rempli du Saint Esprit.
 acts9.18    Au meme instant, il tomba de ses yeux comme des ecailles, et il recouvra la vue. Il se leva, et fut baptise;
 acts9.19    et, apres qu'il eut pris de la nourriture, les forces lui revinrent. Saul resta quelques jours avec les disciples qui etaient a Damas.
 acts9.20    Et aussitot il precha dans les synagogues que Jesus est le Fils de Dieu.
 acts9.21    Tous ceux qui l'entendaient etaient dans l'etonnement, et disaient: N'est-ce pas celui qui persecutait a Jerusalem ceux qui invoquent ce nom, et n'est-il pas venu ici pour les emmener lies devant les principaux sacrificateurs?
 acts9.22    Cependant Saul se fortifiait de plus en plus, et il confondait les Juifs qui habitaient Damas, demontrant que Jesus est le Christ.
 acts9.23    Au bout d'un certain temps, les Juifs se concerterent pour le tuer,
 acts9.24    et leur complot parvint a la connaissance de Saul. On gardait les portes jour et nuit, afin de lui oter la vie.
 acts9.25    Mais, pendant une nuit, les disciples le prirent, et le descendirent par la muraille, dans une corbeille.
 acts9.26    Lorsqu'il se rendit a Jerusalem, Saul tacha de se joindre a eux; mais tous le craignaient, ne croyant pas qu'il fut un disciple.
 acts9.27    Alors Barnabas, l'ayant pris avec lui, le conduisit vers les apotres, et leur raconta comment sur le chemin Saul avait vu le Seigneur, qui lui avait parle, et comment a Damas il avait preche franchement au nom de Jesus.
 acts9.28    Il allait et venait avec eux dans Jerusalem, et s'exprimait en toute assurance au nom du Seigneur.
 acts9.29    Il parlait aussi et disputait avec les Hellenistes; mais ceux-ci cherchaient a lui oter la vie.
 acts9.30    Les freres, l'ayant su, l'emmenerent a Cesaree, et le firent partir pour Tarse.
 acts9.31    L'Eglise etait en paix dans toute la Judee, la Galilee et la Samarie, s'edifiant et marchant dans la crainte du Seigneur, et elle s'accroissait par l'assistance du Saint Esprit.
 acts9.32    Comme Pierre visitait tous les saints, il descendit aussi vers ceux qui demeuraient a Lydde.
 acts9.33    Il y trouva un homme nomme Enee, couche sur un lit depuis huit ans, et paralytique.
 acts9.34    Pierre lui dit: Enee, Jesus Christ te guerit; leve-toi, et arrange ton lit. Et aussitot il se leva.
 acts9.35    Tous les habitants de Lydde et du Saron le virent, et ils se convertirent au Seigneur.
 acts9.36    Il y avait a Joppe, parmi les disciples, une femme nommee Tabitha, ce qui signifie Dorcas: elle faisait beaucoup de bonnes oeuvres et d'aumones.
 acts9.37    Elle tomba malade en ce temps-la, et mourut. Apres l'avoir lavee, on la deposa dans une chambre haute.
 acts9.38    Comme Lydde est pres de Joppe, les disciples, ayant appris que Pierre s'y trouvait, envoyerent deux hommes vers lui, pour le prier de venir chez eux sans tarder.
 acts9.39    Pierre se leva, et partit avec ces hommes. Lorsqu'il fut arrive, on le conduisit dans la chambre haute. Toutes les veuves l'entourerent en pleurant, et lui montrerent les tuniques et les vetements que faisait Dorcas pendant qu'elle etait avec elles.
 acts9.40    Pierre fit sortir tout le monde, se mit a genoux, et pria; puis, se tournant vers le corps, il dit: Tabitha, leve-toi! Elle ouvrit les yeux, et ayant vu Pierre, elle s'assit.
 acts9.41    Il lui donna la main, et la fit lever. Il appela ensuite les saints et les veuves, et la leur presenta vivante.
 acts9.42    Cela fut connu de tout Joppe, et beaucoup crurent au Seigneur.
 acts9.43    Pierre demeura quelque temps a Joppe, chez un corroyeur nomme Simon.

Actes 10
 acts10.1    Il y avait a Cesaree un homme nomme Corneille, centenier dans la cohorte dite italienne.
 acts10.2    Cet homme etait pieux et craignait Dieu, avec toute sa maison; il faisait beaucoup d'aumones au peuple, et priait Dieu continuellement.
 acts10.3    Vers la neuvieme heure du jour, il vit clairement dans une vision un ange de Dieu qui entra chez lui, et qui lui dit: Corneille!
 acts10.4    Les regards fixes sur lui, et saisi d'effroi, il repondit: Qu'est-ce, Seigneur? Et l'ange lui dit: Tes prieres et tes aumones sont montees devant Dieu, et il s'en est souvenu.
 acts10.5    Envoie maintenant des hommes a Joppe, et fais venir Simon, surnomme Pierre;
 acts10.6    il est loge chez un certain Simon, corroyeur, dont la maison est pres de la mer.
 acts10.7    Des que l'ange qui lui avait parle fut parti, Corneille appela deux de ses serviteurs, et un soldat pieux d'entre ceux qui etaient attaches a sa personne;
 acts10.8    et, apres leur avoir tout raconte, il les envoya a Joppe.
 acts10.9    Le lendemain, comme ils etaient en route, et qu'ils approchaient de la ville, Pierre monta sur le toit, vers la sixieme heure, pour prier.
 acts10.10   Il eut faim, et il voulut manger. Pendant qu'on lui preparait a manger, il tomba en extase.
 acts10.11   Il vit le ciel ouvert, et un objet semblable a une grande nappe attachee par les quatre coins, qui descendait et s'abaissait vers la terre,
 acts10.12   et ou se trouvaient tous les quadrupedes et les reptiles de la terre et les oiseaux du ciel.
 acts10.13   Et une voix lui dit: Leve-toi, Pierre, tue et mange.
 acts10.14   Mais Pierre dit: Non, Seigneur, car je n'ai jamais rien mange de souille ni d'impur.
 acts10.15   Et pour la seconde fois la voix se fit encore entendre a lui: Ce que Dieu a declare pur, ne le regarde pas comme souille.
 acts10.16   Cela arriva jusqu'a trois fois; et aussitot apres, l'objet fut retire dans le ciel.
 acts10.17   Tandis que Pierre ne savait en lui-meme que penser du sens de la vision qu'il avait eue, voici, les hommes envoyes par Corneille, s'etant informes de la maison de Simon, se presenterent a la porte,
 acts10.18   et demanderent a haute voix si c'etait la que logeait Simon, surnomme Pierre.
 acts10.19   Et comme Pierre etait a reflechir sur la vision, l'Esprit lui dit: Voici, trois hommes te demandent;
 acts10.20   leve-toi, descends, et pars avec eux sans hesiter, car c'est moi qui les ai envoyes.
 acts10.21   Pierre donc descendit, et il dit a ces hommes: Voici, je suis celui que vous cherchez; quel est le motif qui vous amene?
 acts10.22   Ils repondirent: Corneille, centenier, homme juste et craignant Dieu, et de qui toute la nation des Juifs rend un bon temoignage, a ete divinement averti par un saint ange de te faire venir dans sa maison et d'entendre tes paroles.
 acts10.23   Pierre donc les fit entrer, et les logea. Le lendemain, il se leva, et partit avec eux. Quelques-uns des freres de Joppe l'accompagnerent.
 acts10.24   Ils arriverent a Cesaree le jour suivant. Corneille les attendait, et avait invite ses parents et ses amis intimes.
 acts10.25   Lorsque Pierre entra, Corneille, qui etait alle au-devant de lui, tomba a ses pieds et se prosterna.
 acts10.26   Mais Pierre le releva, en disant: Leve-toi; moi aussi, je suis un homme.
 acts10.27   Et conversant avec lui, il entra, et trouva beaucoup de personnes reunies.
 acts10.28   Vous savez, leur dit-il, qu'il est defendu a un Juif de se lier avec un etranger ou d'entrer chez lui; mais Dieu m'a appris a ne regarder aucun homme comme souille et impur.
 acts10.29   C'est pourquoi je n'ai pas eu d'objection a venir, puisque vous m'avez appele; je vous demande donc pour quel motif vous m'avez envoye chercher.
 acts10.30   Corneille dit: Il y a quatre jours, a cette heure-ci, je priais dans ma maison a la neuvieme heure; et voici, un homme vetu d'un habit eclatant se presenta devant moi, et dit:
 acts10.31   Corneille, ta priere a ete exaucee, et Dieu s'est souvenu de tes aumones.
 acts10.32   Envoie donc a Joppe, et fais venir Simon, surnomme Pierre; il est loge dans la maison de Simon, corroyeur, pres de la mer.
 acts10.33   Aussitot j'ai envoye vers toi, et tu as bien fait de venir. Maintenant donc nous sommes tous devant Dieu, pour entendre tout ce que le Seigneur t'a ordonne de nous dire.
 acts10.34   Alors Pierre, ouvrant la bouche, dit: En verite, je reconnais que Dieu ne fait point acception de personnes,
 acts10.35   mais qu'en toute nation celui qui le craint et qui pratique la justice lui est agreable.
 acts10.36   Il a envoye la parole aux fils d'Israel, en leur annoncant la paix par Jesus Christ, qui est le Seigneur de tous.
 acts10.37   Vous savez ce qui est arrive dans toute la Judee, apres avoir commence en Galilee, a la suite du bapteme que Jean a preche;
 acts10.38   vous savez comment Dieu a oint du Saint Esprit et de force Jesus de Nazareth, qui allait de lieu en lieu faisant du bien et guerissant tous ceux qui etaient sous l'empire du diable, car Dieu etait avec lui.
 acts10.39   Nous sommes temoins de tout ce qu'il a fait dans le pays des Juifs et a Jerusalem. Ils l'ont tue, en le pendant au bois.
 acts10.40   Dieu l'a ressuscite le troisieme jour, et il a permis qu'il apparut,
 acts10.41   non a tout le peuple, mais aux temoins choisis d'avance par Dieu, a nous qui avons mange et bu avec lui, apres qu'il fut ressuscite des morts.
 acts10.42   Et Jesus nous a ordonne de precher au peuple et d'attester que c'est lui qui a ete etabli par Dieu juge des vivants et des morts.
 acts10.43   Tous les prophetes rendent de lui le temoignage que quiconque croit en lui recoit par son nom le pardon des peches.
 acts10.44   Comme Pierre prononcait encore ces mots, le Saint Esprit descendit sur tous ceux qui ecoutaient la parole.
 acts10.45   Tous les fideles circoncis qui etaient venus avec Pierre furent etonnes de ce que le don du Saint Esprit etait aussi repandu sur les paiens.
 acts10.46   Car ils les entendaient parler en langues et glorifier Dieu.
 acts10.47   Alors Pierre dit: Peut-on refuser l'eau du bapteme a ceux qui ont recu le Saint Esprit aussi bien que nous?
 acts10.48   Et il ordonna qu'ils fussent baptises au nom du Seigneur. Sur quoi ils le prierent de rester quelques jours aupres d'eux.

Actes 11
 acts11.1    Les apotres et les freres qui etaient dans la Judee apprirent que les paiens avaient aussi recu la parole de Dieu.
 acts11.2    Et lorsque Pierre fut monte a Jerusalem, les fideles circoncis lui adresserent des reproches,
 acts11.3    en disant: Tu es entre chez des incirconcis, et tu as mange avec eux.
 acts11.4    Pierre se mit a leur exposer d'une maniere suivie ce qui s'etait passe.
 acts11.5    Il dit: J'etais dans la ville de Joppe, et, pendant que je priais, je tombai en extase et j'eus une vision: un objet, semblable a une grande nappe attachee par les quatre coins, descendait du ciel et vint jusqu'a moi.
 acts11.6    Les regards fixes sur cette nappe, j'examinai, et je vis les quadrupedes de la terre, les betes sauvages, les reptiles, et les oiseaux du ciel.
 acts11.7    Et j'entendis une voix qui me disait: Leve-toi, Pierre, tue et mange.
 acts11.8    Mais je dis: Non, Seigneur, car jamais rien de souille ni d'impur n'est entre dans ma bouche.
 acts11.9    Et pour la seconde fois la voix se fit entendre du ciel: Ce que Dieu a declare pur, ne le regarde pas comme souille.
 acts11.10   0Cela arriva jusqu'a trois fois; puis tout fut retire dans le ciel.
 acts11.11   Et voici, aussitot trois hommes envoyes de Cesaree vers moi se presenterent devant la porte de la maison ou j'etais.
 acts11.12   L'Esprit me dit de partir avec eux sans hesiter. Les six hommes que voici m'accompagnerent, et nous entrames dans la maison de Corneille.
 acts11.13   Cet homme nous raconta comment il avait vu dans sa maison l'ange se presentant a lui et disant: Envoie a Joppe, et fais venir Simon, surnomme Pierre,
 acts11.14   qui te dira des choses par lesquelles tu seras sauve, toi et toute ta maison.
 acts11.15   Lorsque je me fus mis a parler, le Saint Esprit descendit sur eux, comme sur nous au commencement.
 acts11.16   Et je me souvins de cette parole du Seigneur: Jean a baptise d'eau, mais vous, vous serez baptises du Saint Esprit.
 acts11.17   Or, puisque Dieu leur a accorde le meme don qu'a nous qui avons cru au Seigneur Jesus Christ, pouvais-je, moi, m'opposer a Dieu?
 acts11.18   Apres avoir entendu cela, ils se calmerent, et ils glorifierent Dieu, en disant: Dieu a donc accorde la repentance aussi aux paiens, afin qu'ils aient la vie.
 acts11.19   Ceux qui avaient ete disperses par la persecution survenue a l'occasion d'Etienne allerent jusqu'en Phenicie, dans l'ile de Chypre, et a Antioche, annoncant la parole seulement aux Juifs.
 acts11.20   Il y eut cependant parmi eux quelques hommes de Chypre et de Cyrene, qui, etant venus a Antioche, s'adresserent aussi aux Grecs, et leur annoncerent la bonne nouvelle du Seigneur Jesus.
 acts11.21   La main du Seigneur etait avec eux, et un grand nombre de personnes crurent et se convertirent au Seigneur.
 acts11.22   Le bruit en parvint aux oreilles des membres de l'Eglise de Jerusalem, et ils envoyerent Barnabas jusqu'a Antioche.
 acts11.23   Lorsqu'il fut arrive, et qu'il eut vu la grace de Dieu, il s'en rejouit, et il les exhorta tous a rester d'un coeur ferme attaches au Seigneur.
 acts11.24   Car c'etait un homme de bien, plein d'Esprit Saint et de foi. Et une foule assez nombreuse se joignit au Seigneur.
 acts11.25   Barnabas se rendit ensuite a Tarse, pour chercher Saul;
 acts11.26   et, l'ayant trouve, il l'amena a Antioche. Pendant toute une annee, ils se reunirent aux assemblees de l'Eglise, et ils enseignerent beaucoup de personnes. Ce fut a Antioche que, pour la premiere fois, les disciples furent appeles chretiens.
 acts11.27   En ce temps-la, des prophetes descendirent de Jerusalem a Antioche.
 acts11.28   L'un deux, nomme Agabus, se leva, et annonca par l'Esprit qu'il y aurait une grande famine sur toute la terre. Elle arriva, en effet, sous Claude.
 acts11.29   Les disciples resolurent d'envoyer, chacun selon ses moyens, un secours aux freres qui habitaient la Judee.
 acts11.30   Ils le firent parvenir aux anciens par les mains de Barnabas et de Saul.

Actes 12
 acts12.1    Vers le meme temps, le roi Herode se mit a maltraiter quelques membres de l'Eglise,
 acts12.2    et il fit mourir par l'epee Jacques, frere de Jean.
 acts12.3    Voyant que cela etait agreable aux Juifs, il fit encore arreter Pierre. -C'etait pendant les jours des pains sans levain. -
 acts12.4    Apres l'avoir saisi et jete en prison, il le mit sous la garde de quatre escouades de quatre soldats chacune, avec l'intention de le faire comparaitre devant le peuple apres la Paque.
 acts12.5    Pierre donc etait garde dans la prison; et l'Eglise ne cessait d'adresser pour lui des prieres a Dieu.
 acts12.6    La nuit qui preceda le jour ou Herode allait le faire comparaitre, Pierre, lie de deux chaines, dormait entre deux soldats; et des sentinelles devant la porte gardaient la prison.
 acts12.7    Et voici, un ange du Seigneur survint, et une lumiere brilla dans la prison. L'ange reveilla Pierre, en le frappant au cote, et en disant: Leve-toi promptement! Les chaines tomberent de ses mains.
 acts12.8    Et l'ange lui dit: Mets ta ceinture et tes sandales. Et il fit ainsi. L'ange lui dit encore: Enveloppe-toi de ton manteau, et suis-moi.
 acts12.9    Pierre sortit, et le suivit, ne sachant pas que ce qui se faisait par l'ange fut reel, et s'imaginant avoir une vision.
 acts12.10   Lorsqu'ils eurent passe la premiere garde, puis la seconde, ils arriverent a la porte de fer qui mene a la ville, et qui s'ouvrit d'elle-meme devant eux; ils sortirent, et s'avancerent dans une rue. Aussitot l'ange quitta Pierre.
 acts12.11   Revenu a lui-meme, Pierre dit: Je vois maintenant d'une maniere certaine que le Seigneur a envoye son ange, et qu'il m'a delivre de la main d'Herode et de tout ce que le peuple juif attendait.
 acts12.12   Apres avoir reflechi, il se dirigea vers la maison de Marie, mere de Jean, surnomme Marc, ou beaucoup de personnes etaient reunies et priaient.
 acts12.13   Il frappa a la porte du vestibule, et une servante, nommee Rhode, s'approcha pour ecouter.
 acts12.14   Elle reconnut la voix de Pierre; et, dans sa joie, au lieu d'ouvrir, elle courut annoncer que Pierre etait devant la porte.
 acts12.15   Ils lui dirent: Tu es folle. Mais elle affirma que la chose etait ainsi.
 acts12.16   Et ils dirent: C'est son ange. Cependant Pierre continuait a frapper. Ils ouvrirent, et furent etonnes de le voir.
 acts12.17   Pierre, leur ayant de la main fait signe de se taire, leur raconta comment le Seigneur l'avait tire de la prison, et il dit: Annoncez-le a Jacques et aux freres. Puis il sortit, et s'en alla dans un autre lieu.
 acts12.18   Quand il fit jour, les soldats furent dans une grande agitation, pour savoir ce que Pierre etait devenu.
 acts12.19   Herode, s'etant mis a sa recherche et ne l'ayant pas trouve, interrogea les gardes, et donna l'ordre de les mener au supplice. Ensuite il descendit de la Judee a Cesaree, pour y sejourner.
 acts12.20   Herode avait des dispositions hostiles a l'egard des Tyriens et des Sidoniens. Mais ils vinrent le trouver d'un commun accord; et, apres avoir gagne Blaste, son chambellan, ils solliciterent la paix, parce que leur pays tirait sa subsistance de celui du roi.
 acts12.21   A un jour fixe, Herode, revetu de ses habits royaux, et assis sur son trone, les harangua publiquement.
 acts12.22   Le peuple s'ecria: Voix d'un dieu, et non d'un homme!
 acts12.23   Au meme instant, un ange du Seigneur le frappa, parce qu'il n'avait pas donne gloire a Dieu. Et il expira, ronge des vers.
 acts12.24   Cependant la parole de Dieu se repandait de plus en plus, et le nombre des disciples augmentait.
 acts12.25   Barnabas et Saul, apres s'etre acquittes de leur message, s'en retournerent de Jerusalem, emmenant avec eux Jean, surnomme Marc.

Actes 13
 acts13.1    Il y avait dans l'Eglise d'Antioche des prophetes et des docteurs: Barnabas, Simeon appele Niger, Lucius de Cyrene, Manahen, qui avait ete eleve avec Herode le tetrarque, et Saul.
 acts13.2    Pendant qu'ils servaient le Seigneur dans leur ministere et qu'ils jeunaient, le Saint Esprit dit: Mettez-moi a part Barnabas et Saul pour l'oeuvre a laquelle je les ai appeles.
 acts13.3    Alors, apres avoir jeune et prie, ils leur imposerent les mains, et les laisserent partir.
 acts13.4    Barnabas et Saul, envoyes par le Saint Esprit, descendirent a Seleucie, et de la ils s'embarquerent pour l'ile de Chypre.
 acts13.5    Arrives a Salamine, ils annoncerent la parole de Dieu dans les synagogues des Juifs. Ils avaient Jean pour aide.
 acts13.6    Ayant ensuite traverse toute l'ile jusqu'a Paphos, ils trouverent un certain magicien, faux prophete juif, nomme Bar Jesus,
 acts13.7    qui etait avec le proconsul Sergius Paulus, homme intelligent. Ce dernier fit appeler Barnabas et Saul, et manifesta le desir d'entendre la parole de Dieu.
 acts13.8    Mais Elymas, le magicien, -car c'est ce que signifie son nom, -leur faisait opposition, cherchant a detourner de la foi le proconsul.
 acts13.9    Alors Saul, appele aussi Paul, rempli du Saint Esprit, fixa les regards sur lui, et dit:
 acts13.10   0Homme plein de toute espece de ruse et de fraude, fils du diable, ennemi de toute justice, ne cesseras-tu point de pervertir les voies droites du Seigneur?
 acts13.11   Maintenant voici, la main du Seigneur est sur toi, tu seras aveugle, et pour un temps tu ne verras pas le soleil. Aussitot l'obscurite et les tenebres tomberent sur lui, et il cherchait, en tatonnant, des personnes pour le guider.
 acts13.12   Alors le proconsul, voyant ce qui etait arrive, crut, etant frappe de la doctrine du Seigneur.
 acts13.13   Paul et ses compagnons, s'etant embarques a Paphos, se rendirent a Perge en Pamphylie. Jean se separa d'eux, et retourna a Jerusalem.
 acts13.14   De Perge ils poursuivirent leur route, et arriverent a Antioche de Pisidie. Etant entres dans la synagogue le jour du sabbat, ils s'assirent.
 acts13.15   Apres la lecture de la loi et des prophetes, les chefs de la synagogue leur envoyerent dire: Hommes freres, si vous avez quelque exhortation a adresser au peuple, parlez.
 acts13.16   Paul se leva, et, ayant fait signe de la main, il dit: Hommes Israelites, et vous qui craignez Dieu, ecoutez!
 acts13.17   Le Dieu de ce peuple d'Israel a choisi nos peres. Il mit ce peuple en honneur pendant son sejour au pays d'Egypte, et il l'en fit sortir par son bras puissant.
 acts13.18   Il les nourrit pres de quarante ans dans le desert;
 acts13.19   et, ayant detruit sept nations au pays de Canaan, il leur en accorda le territoire comme propriete.
 acts13.20   Apres cela, durant quatre cent cinquante ans environ, il leur donna des juges, jusqu'au prophete Samuel.
 acts13.21   Ils demanderent alors un roi. Et Dieu leur donna, pendant quarante ans, Saul, fils de Kis, de la tribu de Benjamin;
 acts13.22   puis, l'ayant rejete, il leur suscita pour roi David, auquel il a rendu ce temoignage: J'ai trouve David, fils d'Isai, homme selon mon coeur, qui accomplira toutes mes volontes.
 acts13.23   C'est de la posterite de David que Dieu, selon sa promesse, a suscite a Israel un Sauveur, qui est Jesus.
 acts13.24   Avant sa venue, Jean avait preche le bapteme de repentance a tout le peuple d'Israel.
 acts13.25   Et lorsque Jean achevait sa course, il disait: Je ne suis pas celui que vous pensez; mais voici, apres moi vient celui des pieds duquel je ne suis pas digne de delier les souliers.
 acts13.26   Hommes freres, fils de la race d'Abraham, et vous qui craignez Dieu, c'est a vous que cette parole de salut a ete envoyee.
 acts13.27   Car les habitants de Jerusalem et leurs chefs ont meconnu Jesus, et, en le condamnant, ils ont accompli les paroles des prophetes qui se lisent chaque sabbat.
 acts13.28   Quoiqu'ils ne trouvassent en lui rien qui fut digne de mort, ils ont demande a Pilate de le faire mourir.
 acts13.29   Et, apres qu'ils eurent accompli tout ce qui est ecrit de lui, ils le descendirent de la croix et le deposerent dans un sepulcre.
 acts13.30   Mais Dieu l'a ressuscite des morts.
 acts13.31   Il est apparu pendant plusieurs jours a ceux qui etaient montes avec lui de la Galilee a Jerusalem, et qui sont maintenant ses temoins aupres du peuple.
 acts13.32   Et nous, nous vous annoncons cette bonne nouvelle que la promesse faite a nos peres,
 acts13.33   Dieu l'a accomplie pour nous leurs enfants, en ressuscitant Jesus, selon ce qui est ecrit dans le Psaume deuxieme: Tu es mon Fils, Je t'ai engendre aujourd'hui.
 acts13.34   Qu'il l'ait ressuscite des morts, de telle sorte qu'il ne retournera pas a la corruption, c'est ce qu'il a declare, en disant: Je vous donnerai Les graces saintes promises a David, ces graces qui sont assurees.
 acts13.35   C'est pourquoi il dit encore ailleurs: Tu ne permettras pas que ton Saint voie la corruption.
 acts13.36   Or, David, apres avoir en son temps servi au dessein de Dieu, est mort, a ete reuni a ses peres, et a vu la corruption.
 acts13.37   Mais celui que Dieu a ressuscite n'a pas vu la corruption.
 acts13.38   Sachez donc, hommes freres, que c'est par lui que le pardon des peches vous est annonce,
 acts13.39   et que quiconque croit est justifie par lui de toutes les choses dont vous ne pouviez etre justifies par la loi de Moise.
 acts13.40   Ainsi, prenez garde qu'il ne vous arrive ce qui est dit dans les prophetes:
 acts13.41   Voyez, contempteurs, Soyez etonnes et disparaissez; Car je vais faire en vos jours une oeuvre, Une oeuvre que vous ne croiriez pas si on vous la racontait.
 acts13.42   Lorsqu'ils sortirent, on les pria de parler le sabbat suivant sur les memes choses;
 acts13.43   et, a l'issue de l'assemblee, beaucoup de Juifs et de proselytes pieux suivirent Paul et Barnabas, qui s'entretinrent avec eux, et les exhorterent a rester attaches a la grace de Dieu.
 acts13.44   Le sabbat suivant, presque toute la ville se rassembla pour entendre la parole de Dieu.
 acts13.45   Les Juifs, voyant la foule, furent remplis de jalousie, et ils s'opposaient a ce que disait Paul, en le contredisant et en l'injuriant.
 acts13.46   Paul et Barnabas leur dirent avec assurance: C'est a vous premierement que la parole de Dieu devait etre annoncee; mais, puisque vous la repoussez, et que vous vous jugez vous-memes indignes de la vie eternelle, voici, nous nous tournons vers les paiens.
 acts13.47   Car ainsi nous l'a ordonne le Seigneur: Je t'ai etabli pour etre la lumiere des nations, Pour porter le salut jusqu'aux extremites de la terre.
 acts13.48   Les paiens se rejouissaient en entendant cela, ils glorifiaient la parole du Seigneur, et tous ceux qui etaient destines a la vie eternelle crurent.
 acts13.49   La parole du Seigneur se repandait dans tout le pays.
 acts13.50   Mais les Juifs exciterent les femmes devotes de distinction et les principaux de la ville; ils provoquerent une persecution contre Paul et Barnabas, et ils les chasserent de leur territoire.
 acts13.51   Paul et Barnabas secouerent contre eux la poussiere de leurs pieds, et allerent a Icone,
 acts13.52   tandis que les disciples etaient remplis de joie et du Saint Esprit.

Actes 14
 acts14.1    A Icone, Paul et Barnabas entrerent ensemble dans la synagogue des Juifs, et ils parlerent de telle maniere qu'une grande multitude de Juifs et de Grecs crurent.
 acts14.2    Mais ceux des Juifs qui ne crurent point exciterent et aigrirent les esprits des paiens contre les freres.
 acts14.3    Ils resterent cependant assez longtemps a Icone, parlant avec assurance, appuyes sur le Seigneur, qui rendait temoignage a la parole de sa grace et permettait qu'il se fit par leurs mains des prodiges et des miracles.
 acts14.4    La population de la ville se divisa: les uns etaient pour les Juifs, les autres pour les apotres.
 acts14.5    Et comme les paiens et les Juifs, de concert avec leurs chefs, se mettaient en mouvement pour les outrager et les lapider,
 acts14.6    Paul et Barnabas, en ayant eu connaissance, se refugierent dans les villes de la Lycaonie, a Lystre et a Derbe, et dans la contree d'alentour.
 acts14.7    Et ils y annoncerent la bonne nouvelle.
 acts14.8    A Lystre, se tenait assis un homme impotent des pieds, boiteux de naissance, et qui n'avait jamais marche.
 acts14.9    Il ecoutait parler Paul. Et Paul, fixant les regards sur lui et voyant qu'il avait la foi pour etre gueri,
 acts14.10   0dit d'une voix forte: Leve-toi droit sur tes pieds. Et il se leva d'un bond et marcha.
 acts14.11   A la vue de ce que Paul avait fait, la foule eleva la voix, et dit en langue lycaonienne: Les dieux sous une forme humaine sont descendus vers nous.
 acts14.12   Ils appelaient Barnabas Jupiter, et Paul Mercure, parce que c'etait lui qui portait la parole.
 acts14.13   Le pretre de Jupiter, dont le temple etait a l'entree de la ville, amena des taureaux avec des bandelettes vers les portes, et voulait, de meme que la foule, offrir un sacrifice.
 acts14.14   Les apotres Barnabas et Paul, ayant appris cela, dechirerent leurs vetements, et se precipiterent au milieu de la foule,
 acts14.15   en s'ecriant: O hommes, pourquoi agissez-vous de la sorte? Nous aussi, nous sommes des hommes de la meme nature que vous; et, vous apportant une bonne nouvelle, nous vous exhortons a renoncer a ces choses vaines, pour vous tourner vers le Dieu vivant, qui a fait le ciel, la terre, la mer, et tout ce qui s'y trouve.
 acts14.16   Ce Dieu, dans les ages passes, a laisse toutes les nations suivre leurs propres voies,
 acts14.17   quoiqu'il n'ait cesse de rendre temoignage de ce qu'il est, en faisant du bien, en vous dispensant du ciel les pluies et les saisons fertiles, en vous donnant la nourriture avec abondance et en remplissant vos coeurs de joie.
 acts14.18   A peine purent-ils, par ces paroles, empecher la foule de leur offrir un sacrifice.
 acts14.19   Alors survinrent d'Antioche et d'Icone des Juifs qui gagnerent la foule, et qui, apres avoir lapide Paul, le trainerent hors de la ville, pensant qu'il etait mort.
 acts14.20   Mais, les disciples l'ayant entoure, il se leva, et entra dans la ville. Le lendemain, il partit pour Derbe avec Barnabas.
 acts14.21   Quand ils eurent evangelise cette ville et fait un certain nombre de disciples, ils retournerent a Lystre, a Icone et a Antioche,
 acts14.22   fortifiant l'esprit des disciples, les exhortant a perseverer dans la foi, et disant que c'est par beaucoup de tribulations qu'il nous faut entrer dans le royaume de Dieu.
 acts14.23   Ils firent nommer des anciens dans chaque Eglise, et, apres avoir prie et jeune, ils les recommanderent au Seigneur, en qui ils avaient cru.
 acts14.24   Traversant ensuite la Pisidie, ils vinrent en Pamphylie,
 acts14.25   annoncerent la parole a Perge, et descendirent a Attalie.
 acts14.26   De la ils s'embarquerent pour Antioche, d'ou ils avaient ete recommandes a la grace de Dieu pour l'oeuvre qu'ils venaient d'accomplir.
 acts14.27   Apres leur arrivee, ils convoquerent l'Eglise, et ils raconterent tout ce que Dieu avait fait avec eux, et comment il avait ouvert aux nations la porte de la foi.
 acts14.28   Et ils demeurerent assez longtemps avec les disciples.

Actes 15
 acts15.1    Quelques hommes, venus de la Judee, enseignaient les freres, en disant: Si vous n'etes circoncis selon le rite de Moise, vous ne pouvez etre sauves.
 acts15.2    Paul et Barnabas eurent avec eux un debat et une vive discussion; et les freres deciderent que Paul et Barnabas, et quelques-uns des leurs, monteraient a Jerusalem vers les apotres et les anciens, pour traiter cette question.
 acts15.3    Apres avoir ete accompagnes par l'Eglise, ils poursuivirent leur route a travers la Phenicie et la Samarie, racontant la conversion des paiens, et ils causerent une grande joie a tous les freres.
 acts15.4    Arrives a Jerusalem, ils furent recus par l'Eglise, les apotres et les anciens, et ils raconterent tout ce que Dieu avait fait avec eux.
 acts15.5    Alors quelques-uns du parti des pharisiens, qui avaient cru, se leverent, en disant qu'il fallait circoncire les paiens et exiger l'observation de la loi de Moise.
 acts15.6    Les apotres et les anciens se reunirent pour examiner cette affaire.
 acts15.7    Une grande discussion s'etant engagee, Pierre se leva, et leur dit: Hommes freres, vous savez que des longtemps Dieu a fait un choix parmi vous, afin que, par ma bouche, les paiens entendissent la parole de l'Evangile et qu'ils crussent.
 acts15.8    Et Dieu, qui connait les coeurs, leur a rendu temoignage, en leur donnant le Saint Esprit comme a nous;
 acts15.9    il n'a fait aucune difference entre nous et eux, ayant purifie leurs coeurs par la foi.
 acts15.10   Maintenant donc, pourquoi tentez-vous Dieu, en mettant sur le cou des disciples un joug que ni nos peres ni nous n'avons pu porter?
 acts15.11   Mais c'est par la grace du Seigneur Jesus que nous croyons etre sauves, de la meme maniere qu'eux.
 acts15.12   Toute l'assemblee garda le silence, et l'on ecouta Barnabas et Paul, qui raconterent tous les miracles et les prodiges que Dieu avait faits par eux au milieu des paiens.
 acts15.13   Lorsqu'ils eurent cesse de parler, Jacques prit la parole, et dit: Hommes freres, ecoutez-moi!
 acts15.14   Simon a raconte comment Dieu a d'abord jete les regards sur les nations pour choisir du milieu d'elles un peuple qui portat son nom.
 acts15.15   Et avec cela s'accordent les paroles des prophetes, selon qu'il est ecrit:
 acts15.16   Apres cela, je reviendrai, et je releverai de sa chute la tente de David, J'en reparerai les ruines, et je la redresserai,
 acts15.17   Afin que le reste des hommes cherche le Seigneur, Ainsi que toutes les nations sur lesquelles mon nom est invoque, Dit le Seigneur, qui fait ces choses,
 acts15.18   Et a qui elles sont connues de toute eternite.
 acts15.19   C'est pourquoi je suis d'avis qu'on ne cree pas des difficultes a ceux des paiens qui se convertissent a Dieu,
 acts15.20   mais qu'on leur ecrive de s'abstenir des souillures des idoles, de l'impudicite, des animaux etouffes et du sang.
 acts15.21   Car, depuis bien des generations, Moise a dans chaque ville des gens qui le prechent, puisqu'on le lit tous les jours de sabbat dans les synagogues.
 acts15.22   Alors il parut bon aux apotres et aux anciens, et a toute l'Eglise, de choisir parmi eux et d'envoyer a Antioche, avec Paul et Barsabas, Jude appele Barnabas et Silas, hommes consideres entre les freres.
 acts15.23   Ils les chargerent d'une lettre ainsi concue: Les apotres, les anciens, et les freres, aux freres d'entre les paiens, qui sont a Antioche, en Syrie, et en Cilicie, salut!
 acts15.24   Ayant appris que quelques hommes partis de chez nous, et auxquels nous n'avions donne aucun ordre, vous ont troubles par leurs discours et ont ebranle vos ames,
 acts15.25   nous avons juge a propos, apres nous etre reunis tous ensemble, de choisir des delegues et de vous les envoyer avec nos bien-aimes Barnabas et Paul,
 acts15.26   ces hommes qui ont expose leur vie pour le nom de notre Seigneur Jesus Christ.
 acts15.27   Nous avons donc envoye Jude et Silas, qui vous annonceront de leur bouche les memes choses.
 acts15.28   Car il a paru bon au Saint Esprit et a nous de ne vous imposer d'autre charge que ce qui est necessaire,
 acts15.29   savoir, de vous abstenir des viandes sacrifiees aux idoles, du sang, des animaux etouffes, et de l'impudicite, choses contre lesquelles vous vous trouverez bien de vous tenir en garde. Adieu.
 acts15.30   Eux donc, ayant pris conge de l'Eglise, allerent a Antioche, ou ils remirent la lettre a la multitude assemblee.
 acts15.31   Apres l'avoir lue, les freres furent rejouis de l'encouragement qu'elle leur apportait.
 acts15.32   Jude et Silas, qui etaient eux-memes prophetes, les exhorterent et les fortifierent par plusieurs discours.
 acts15.33   Au bout de quelque temps, les freres les laisserent en paix retourner vers ceux qui les avaient envoyes.
 acts15.34   Toutefois Silas trouva bon de rester.
 acts15.35   Paul et Barnabas demeurerent a Antioche, enseignant et annoncant, avec plusieurs autres, la bonne nouvelle de la parole du Seigneur.
 acts15.36   Quelques jours s'ecoulerent, apres lesquels Paul dit a Barnabas: Retournons visiter les freres dans toutes les villes ou nous avons annonce la parole du Seigneur, pour voir en quel etat ils sont.
 acts15.37   Barnabas voulait emmener aussi Jean, surnomme Marc;
 acts15.38   mais Paul jugea plus convenable de ne pas prendre avec eux celui qui les avait quittes depuis la Pamphylie, et qui ne les avait point accompagnes dans leur oeuvre.
 acts15.39   Ce dissentiment fut assez vif pour etre cause qu'ils se separerent l'un de l'autre. Et Barnabas, prenant Marc avec lui, s'embarqua pour l'ile de Chypre.
 acts15.40   Paul fit choix de Silas, et partit, recommande par les freres a la grace du Seigneur.
 acts15.41   Il parcourut la Syrie et la Cilicie, fortifiant les Eglises.

Actes 16
 acts16.1   Il se rendit ensuite a Derbe et a Lystre. Et voici, il y avait la un disciple nomme Timothee, fils d'une femme juive fidele et d'un pere grec.
 acts16.2    Les freres de Lystre et d'Icone rendaient de lui un bon temoignage.
 acts16.3    Paul voulut l'emmener avec lui; et, l'ayant pris, il le circoncit, a cause des Juifs qui etaient dans ces lieux-la, car tous savaient que son pere etait grec.
 acts16.4    En passant par les villes, ils recommandaient aux freres d'observer les decisions des apotres et des anciens de Jerusalem.
 acts16.5    Les Eglises se fortifiaient dans la foi, et augmentaient en nombre de jour en jour.
 acts16.6    Ayant ete empeches par le Saint Esprit d'annoncer la parole dans l'Asie, ils traverserent la Phrygie et le pays de Galatie.
 acts16.7    Arrives pres de la Mysie, ils se disposaient a entrer en Bithynie; mais l'Esprit de Jesus ne le leur permit pas.
 acts16.8    Ils franchirent alors la Mysie, et descendirent a Troas.
 acts16.9    Pendant la nuit, Paul eut une vision: un Macedonien lui apparut, et lui fit cette priere: Passe en Macedoine, secours-nous!
 acts16.10   Apres cette vision de Paul, nous cherchames aussitot a nous rendre en Macedoine, concluant que le Seigneur nous appelait a y annoncer la bonne nouvelle.
 acts16.11   Etant partis de Troas, nous fimes voile directement vers la Samothrace, et le lendemain nous debarquames a Neapolis.
 acts16.12   De la nous allames a Philippes, qui est la premiere ville d'un district de Macedoine, et une colonie. Nous passames quelques jours dans cette ville.
 acts16.13   Le jour du sabbat, nous nous rendimes, hors de la porte, vers une riviere, ou nous pensions que se trouvait un lieu de priere. Nous nous assimes, et nous parlames aux femmes qui etaient reunies.
 acts16.14   L'une d'elles, nommee Lydie, marchande de pourpre, de la ville de Thyatire, etait une femme craignant Dieu, et elle ecoutait. Le Seigneur lui ouvrit le coeur, pour qu'elle fut attentive a ce que disait Paul.
 acts16.15   Lorsqu'elle eut ete baptisee, avec sa famille, elle nous fit cette demande: Si vous me jugez fidele au Seigneur, entrez dans ma maison, et demeurez-y. Et elle nous pressa par ses instances.
 acts16.16   Comme nous allions au lieu de priere, une servante qui avait un esprit de Python, et qui, en devinant, procurait un grand profit a ses maitres, vint au-devant de nous,
 acts16.17   et se mit a nous suivre, Paul et nous. Elle criait: Ces hommes sont les serviteurs du Dieu Tres Haut, et ils vous annoncent la voie du salut.
 acts16.18   Elle fit cela pendant plusieurs jours. Paul fatigue se retourna, et dit a l'esprit: Je t'ordonne, au nom de Jesus Christ, de sortir d'elle. Et il sortit a l'heure meme.
 acts16.19   Les maitres de la servante, voyant disparaitre l'espoir de leur gain, se saisirent de Paul et de Silas, et les trainerent sur la place publique devant les magistrats.
 acts16.20   Ils les presenterent aux preteurs, en disant: Ces hommes troublent notre ville;
 acts16.21   ce sont des Juifs, qui annoncent des coutumes qu'il ne nous est permis ni de recevoir ni de suivre, a nous qui sommes Romains.
 acts16.22   La foule se souleva aussi contre eux, et les preteurs, ayant fait arracher leurs vetements, ordonnerent qu'on les battit de verges.
 acts16.23   Apres qu'on les eut charges de coups, ils les jeterent en prison, en recommandant au geolier de les garder surement.
 acts16.24   Le geolier, ayant recu cet ordre, les jeta dans la prison interieure, et leur mit les ceps aux pieds.
 acts16.25   Vers le milieu de la nuit, Paul et Silas priaient et chantaient les louanges de Dieu, et les prisonniers les entendaient.
 acts16.26   Tout a coup il se fit un grand tremblement de terre, en sorte que les fondements de la prison furent ebranles; au meme instant, toutes les portes s'ouvrirent, et les liens de tous les prisonniers furent rompus.
 acts16.27   Le geolier se reveilla, et, lorsqu'il vit les portes de la prison ouvertes, il tira son epee et allait se tuer, pensant que les prisonniers s'etaient enfuis.
 acts16.28   Mais Paul cria d'une voix forte: Ne te fais point de mal, nous sommes tous ici.
 acts16.29   Alors le geolier, ayant demande de la lumiere, entra precipitamment, et se jeta tout tremblant aux pieds de Paul et de Silas;
 acts16.30   il les fit sortir, et dit: Seigneurs, que faut-il que je fasse pour etre sauve?
 acts16.31   Paul et Silas repondirent: Crois au Seigneur Jesus, et tu seras sauve, toi et ta famille.
 acts16.32   Et ils lui annoncerent la parole du Seigneur, ainsi qu'a tous ceux qui etaient dans sa maison.
 acts16.33   Il les prit avec lui, a cette heure meme de la nuit, il lava leurs plaies, et aussitot il fut baptise, lui et tous les siens.
 acts16.34   Les ayant conduits dans son logement, il leur servit a manger, et il se rejouit avec toute sa famille de ce qu'il avait cru en Dieu.
 acts16.35   Quand il fit jour, les preteurs envoyerent les licteurs pour dire au geolier: Relache ces hommes.
 acts16.36   Et le geolier annonca la chose a Paul: Les preteurs ont envoye dire qu'on vous relachat; maintenant donc sortez, et allez en paix.
 acts16.37   Mais Paul dit aux licteurs: Apres nous avoir battus de verges publiquement et sans jugement, nous qui sommes Romains, ils nous ont jetes en prison, et maintenant ils nous font sortir secretement! Il n'en sera pas ainsi. Qu'ils viennent eux-memes nous mettre en liberte.
 acts16.38   Les licteurs rapporterent ces paroles aux preteurs, qui furent effrayes en apprenant qu'ils etaient Romains.
 acts16.39   Ils vinrent les apaiser, et ils les mirent en liberte, en les priant de quitter la ville.
 acts16.40   Quand ils furent sortis de la prison, ils entrerent chez Lydie, et, apres avoir vu et exhorte les freres, ils partirent.

Actes 17
 acts17.1    Paul et Silas passerent par Amphipolis et Apollonie, et ils arriverent a Thessalonique, ou les Juifs avaient une synagogue.
 acts17.2    Paul y entra, selon sa coutume. Pendant trois sabbats, il discuta avec eux, d'apres les Ecritures,
 acts17.3    expliquant et etablissant que le Christ devait souffrir et ressusciter des morts. Et Jesus que je vous annonce, disait-il, c'est lui qui est le Christ.
 acts17.4    Quelques-uns d'entre eux furent persuades, et se joignirent a Paul et a Silas, ainsi qu'une grande multitude de Grecs craignant Dieu, et beaucoup de femmes de qualite.
 acts17.5    Mais les Juifs, jaloux prirent avec eux quelques mechants hommes de la populace, provoquerent des attroupements, et repandirent l'agitation dans la ville. Ils se porterent a la maison de Jason, et ils chercherent Paul et Silas, pour les amener vers le peuple.
 acts17.6    Ne les ayant pas trouves, ils trainerent Jason et quelques freres devant les magistrats de la ville, en criant: Ces gens, qui ont bouleverse le monde, sont aussi venus ici, et Jason les a recus.
 acts17.7    Ils agissent tous contre les edits de Cesar, disant qu'il y a un autre roi, Jesus.
 acts17.8    Par ces paroles ils emurent la foule et les magistrats,
 acts17.9    qui ne laisserent aller Jason et les autres qu'apres avoir obtenu d'eux une caution.
 acts17.10   Aussitot les freres firent partir de nuit Paul et Silas pour Beree. Lorsqu'ils furent arrives, ils entrerent dans la synagogue des Juifs.
 acts17.11   Ces Juifs avaient des sentiments plus nobles que ceux de Thessalonique; ils recurent la parole avec beaucoup d'empressement, et ils examinaient chaque jour les Ecritures, pour voir si ce qu'on leur disait etait exact.
 acts17.12   Plusieurs d'entre eux crurent, ainsi que beaucoup de femmes grecques de distinction, et beaucoup d'hommes.
 acts17.13   Mais, quand les Juifs de Thessalonique surent que Paul annoncait aussi a Beree la parole de Dieu, ils vinrent y agiter la foule.
 acts17.14   Alors les freres firent aussitot partir Paul du cote de la mer; Silas et Timothee resterent a Beree.
 acts17.15   Ceux qui accompagnaient Paul le conduisirent jusqu'a Athenes. Puis ils s'en retournerent, charges de transmettre a Silas et a Timothee l'ordre de le rejoindre au plus tot.
 acts17.16   Comme Paul les attendait a Athenes, il sentait au dedans de lui son esprit s'irriter, a la vue de cette ville pleine d'idoles.
 acts17.17   Il s'entretenait donc dans la synagogue avec les Juifs et les hommes craignant Dieu, et sur la place publique chaque jour avec ceux qu'il rencontrait.
 acts17.18   Quelques philosophes epicuriens et stoiciens se mirent a parler avec lui. Et les uns disaient: Que veut dire ce discoureur? D'autres, l'entendant annoncer Jesus et la resurrection, disaient: Il semble qu'il annonce des divinites etrangeres.
 acts17.19   Alors ils le prirent, et le menerent a l'Areopage, en disant: Pourrions-nous savoir quelle est cette nouvelle doctrine que tu enseignes?
 acts17.20   Car tu nous fais entendre des choses etranges. Nous voudrions donc savoir ce que cela peut etre.
 acts17.21   Or, tous les Atheniens et les etrangers demeurant a Athenes ne passaient leur temps qu'a dire ou a ecouter des nouvelles.
 acts17.22   Paul, debout au milieu de l'Areopage, dit: Hommes Atheniens, je vous trouve a tous egards extremement religieux.
 acts17.23   Car, en parcourant votre ville et en considerant les objets de votre devotion, j'ai meme decouvert un autel avec cette inscription: A un dieu inconnu! Ce que vous reverez sans le connaitre, c'est ce que je vous annonce.
 acts17.24   Le Dieu qui a fait le monde et tout ce qui s'y trouve, etant le Seigneur du ciel et de la terre, n'habite point dans des temples faits de main d'homme;
 acts17.25   il n'est point servi par des mains humaines, comme s'il avait besoin de quoi que ce soit, lui qui donne a tous la vie, la respiration, et toutes choses.
 acts17.26   Il a fait que tous les hommes, sortis d'un seul sang, habitassent sur toute la surface de la terre, ayant determine la duree des temps et les bornes de leur demeure;
 acts17.27   il a voulu qu'ils cherchassent le Seigneur, et qu'ils s'efforcassent de le trouver en tatonnant, bien qu'il ne soit pas loin de chacun de nous,
 acts17.28   car en lui nous avons la vie, le mouvement, et l'etre. C'est ce qu'ont dit aussi quelques-uns de vos poetes: De lui nous sommes la race...
 acts17.29   Ainsi donc, etant la race de Dieu, nous ne devons pas croire que la divinite soit semblable a de l'or, a de l'argent, ou a de la pierre, sculptes par l'art et l'industrie de l'homme.
 acts17.30   Dieu, sans tenir compte des temps d'ignorance, annonce maintenant a tous les hommes, en tous lieux, qu'ils aient a se repentir,
 acts17.31   parce qu'il a fixe un jour ou il jugera le monde selon la justice, par l'homme qu'il a designe, ce dont il a donne a tous une preuve certaine en le ressuscitant des morts...
 acts17.32   Lorsqu'ils entendirent parler de resurrection des morts, les uns se moquerent, et les autres dirent: Nous t'entendrons la-dessus une autre fois.
 acts17.33   Ainsi Paul se retira du milieu d'eux.
 acts17.34   Quelques-uns neanmoins s'attacherent a lui et crurent, Denys l'areopagite, une femme nommee Damaris, et d'autres avec eux.

Actes 18
 acts18.1    Apres cela, Paul partit d'Athenes, et se rendit a Corinthe.
 acts18.2    Il y trouva un Juif nomme Aquilas, originaire du Pont, recemment arrive d'Italie avec sa femme Priscille, parce que Claude avait ordonne a tous les Juifs de sortir de Rome. Il se lia avec eux;
 acts18.3    et, comme il avait le meme metier, il demeura chez eux et y travailla: ils etaient faiseurs de tentes.
 acts18.4    Paul discourait dans la synagogue chaque sabbat, et il persuadait des Juifs et des Grecs.
 acts18.5    Mais quand Silas et Timothee furent arrives de la Macedoine, il se donna tout entier a la parole, attestant aux Juifs que Jesus etait le Christ.
 acts18.6    Les Juifs faisant alors de l'opposition et se livrant a des injures, Paul secoua ses vetements, et leur dit: Que votre sang retombe sur votre tete! J'en suis pur. Des maintenant, j'irai vers les paiens.
 acts18.7    Et sortant de la, il entra chez un nomme Justus, homme craignant Dieu, et dont la maison etait contigue a la synagogue.
 acts18.8    Cependant Crispus, le chef de la synagogue, crut au Seigneur avec toute sa famille. Et plusieurs Corinthiens, qui avaient entendu Paul, crurent aussi, et furent baptises.
 acts18.9    Le Seigneur dit a Paul en vision pendant la nuit: Ne crains point; mais parle, et ne te tais point,
 acts18.10   Car je suis avec toi, et personne ne mettra la main sur toi pour te faire du mal: parle, car j'ai un peuple nombreux dans cette ville.
 acts18.11   Il y demeura un an et six mois, enseignant parmi les Corinthiens la parole de Dieu.
 acts18.12   Du temps que Gallion etait proconsul de l'Achaie, les Juifs se souleverent unanimement contre Paul, et le menerent devant le tribunal,
 acts18.13   en disant: Cet homme excite les gens a servir Dieu d'une maniere contraire a la loi.
 acts18.14   Paul allait ouvrir la bouche, lorsque Gallion dit aux Juifs: S'il s'agissait de quelque injustice ou de quelque mechante action, je vous ecouterais comme de raison, o Juifs;
 acts18.15   mais, s'il s'agit de discussions sur une parole, sur des noms, et sur votre loi, cela vous regarde: je ne veux pas etre juge de ces choses.
 acts18.16   Et il les renvoya du tribunal.
 acts18.17   Alors tous, se saisissant de Sosthene, le chef de la synagogue, le battirent devant le tribunal, sans que Gallion s'en mit en peine.
 acts18.18   Paul resta encore assez longtemps a Corinthe. Ensuite il prit conge des freres, et s'embarqua pour la Syrie, avec Priscille et Aquilas, apres s'etre fait raser la tete a Cenchrees, car il avait fait un voeu.
 acts18.19   Ils arriverent a Ephese, et Paul y laissa ses compagnons. Etant entre dans la synagogue, il s'entretint avec les Juifs,
 acts18.20   qui le prierent de prolonger son sejour.
 acts18.21   Mais il n'y consentit point, et il prit conge d'eux, en disant: Il faut absolument que je celebre la fete prochaine a Jerusalem. Je reviendrai vers vous, si Dieu le veut. Et il partit d'Ephese.
 acts18.22   Etant debarque a Cesaree, il monta a Jerusalem, et, apres avoir salue l'Eglise, il descendit a Antioche.
 acts18.23   Lorsqu'il eut passe quelque temps a Antioche, Paul se mit en route, et parcourut successivement la Galatie et la Phrygie, fortifiant tous les disciples.
 acts18.24   Un Juif nomme Apollos, originaire d'Alexandrie, homme eloquent et verse dans les Ecritures, vint a Ephese.
 acts18.25   Il etait instruit dans la voie du Seigneur, et, fervent d'esprit, il annoncait et enseignait avec exactitude ce qui concerne Jesus, bien qu'il ne connut que le bapteme de Jean.
 acts18.26   Il se mit a parler librement dans la synagogue. Aquilas et Priscille, l'ayant entendu, le prirent avec eux, et lui exposerent plus exactement la voie de Dieu.
 acts18.27   Comme il voulait passer en Achaie, les freres l'y encouragerent, et ecrivirent aux disciples de le bien recevoir. Quand il fut arrive, il se rendit, par la grace de Dieu, tres utile a ceux qui avaient cru;
 acts18.28   Car il refutait vivement les Juifs en public, demontrant par les Ecritures que Jesus est le Christ.

Actes 19
 acts19.1    Pendant qu'Apollos etait a Corinthe, Paul, apres avoir parcouru les hautes provinces de l'Asie, arriva a Ephese. Ayant rencontre quelques disciples, il leur dit:
 acts19.2    Avez-vous recu le Saint Esprit, quand vous avez cru? Ils lui repondirent: Nous n'avons pas meme entendu dire qu'il y ait un Saint Esprit.
 acts19.3    Il dit: De quel bapteme avez-vous donc ete baptises? Et ils repondirent: Du bapteme de Jean.
 acts19.4    Alors Paul dit: Jean a baptise du bapteme de repentance, disant au peuple de croire en celui qui venait apres lui, c'est-a-dire, en Jesus.
 acts19.5    Sur ces paroles, ils furent baptises au nom du Seigneur Jesus.
 acts19.6    Lorsque Paul leur eut impose les mains, le Saint Esprit vint sur eux, et ils parlaient en langues et prophetisaient.
 acts19.7    Ils etaient en tout environ douze hommes.
 acts19.8    Ensuite Paul entra dans la synagogue, ou il parla librement. Pendant trois mois, il discourut sur les choses qui concernent le royaume de Dieu, s'efforcant de persuader ceux qui l'ecoutaient.
 acts19.9    Mais, comme quelques-uns restaient endurcis et incredules, decriant devant la multitude la voie du Seigneur, il se retira d'eux, separa les disciples, et enseigna chaque jour dans l'ecole d'un nomme Tyrannus.
 acts19.10   Cela dura deux ans, de sorte que tous ceux qui habitaient l'Asie, Juifs et Grecs, entendirent la parole du Seigneur.
 acts19.11   Et Dieu faisait des miracles extraordinaires par les mains de Paul,
 acts19.12   au point qu'on appliquait sur les malades des linges ou des mouchoirs qui avaient touche son corps, et les maladies les quittaient, et les esprits malins sortaient.
 acts19.13   Quelques exorcistes juifs ambulants essayerent d'invoquer sur ceux qui avaient des esprits malins le nom du Seigneur Jesus, en disant: Je vous conjure par Jesus que Paul preche!
 acts19.14   Ceux qui faisaient cela etaient sept fils de Sceva, Juif, l'un des principaux sacrificateurs.
 acts19.15   L'esprit malin leur repondit: Je connais Jesus, et je sais qui est Paul; mais vous, qui etes-vous?
 acts19.16   Et l'homme dans lequel etait l'esprit malin s'elanca sur eux, se rendit maitre de tous deux, et les maltraita de telle sorte qu'ils s'enfuirent de cette maison nus et blesses.
 acts19.17   Cela fut connu de tous les Juifs et de tous les Grecs qui demeuraient a Ephese, et la crainte s'empara d'eux tous, et le nom du Seigneur Jesus etait glorifie.
 acts19.18   Plusieurs de ceux qui avaient cru venaient confesser et declarer ce qu'ils avaient fait.
 acts19.19   Et un certain nombre de ceux qui avaient exerce les arts magiques, ayant apporte leurs livres, les brulerent devant tout le monde: on en estima la valeur a cinquante mille pieces d'argent.
 acts19.20   C'est ainsi que la parole du Seigneur croissait en puissance et en force.
 acts19.21   Apres que ces choses se furent passees, Paul forma le projet d'aller a Jerusalem, en traversant la Macedoine et l'Achaie. Quand j'aurai ete la, se disait-il, il faut aussi que je voie Rome.
 acts19.22   Il envoya en Macedoine deux de ses aides, Timothee et Eraste, et il resta lui-meme quelque temps encore en Asie.
 acts19.23   Il survint, a cette epoque, un grand trouble au sujet de la voie du Seigneur.
 acts19.24   Un nomme Demetrius, orfevre, fabriquait en argent des temples de Diane, et procurait a ses ouvriers un gain considerable.
 acts19.25   Il les rassembla, avec ceux du meme metier, et dit: O hommes, vous savez que notre bien-etre depend de cette industrie;
 acts19.26   et vous voyez et entendez que, non seulement a Ephese, mais dans presque toute l'Asie, ce Paul a persuade et detourne une foule de gens, en disant que les dieux faits de main d'homme ne sont pas des dieux.
 acts19.27   Le danger qui en resulte, ce n'est pas seulement que notre industrie ne tombe en discredit; c'est encore que le temple de la grande deesse Diane ne soit tenu pour rien, et meme que la majeste de celle qui est reveree dans toute l'Asie et dans le monde entier ne soit reduite a neant.
 acts19.28   Ces paroles les ayant remplis de colere, ils se mirent a crier: Grande est la Diane des Ephesiens!
 acts19.29   Toute la ville fut dans la confusion. Ils se precipiterent tous ensemble au theatre, entrainant avec eux Gaius et Aristarque, Macedoniens, compagnons de voyage de Paul.
 acts19.30   Paul voulait se presenter devant le peuple, mais les disciples l'en empecherent;
 acts19.31   quelques-uns meme des Asiarques, qui etaient ses amis, envoyerent vers lui, pour l'engager a ne pas se rendre au theatre.
 acts19.32   Les uns criaient d'une maniere, les autres d'une autre, car le desordre regnait dans l'assemblee, et la plupart ne savaient pas pourquoi ils s'etaient reunis.
 acts19.33   Alors on fit sortir de la foule Alexandre, que les Juifs poussaient en avant; et Alexandre, faisant signe de la main, voulait parler au peuple.
 acts19.34   Mais quand ils reconnurent qu'il etait Juif, tous d'une seule voix crierent pendant pres de deux heures: Grande est la Diane des Ephesiens!
 acts19.35   Cependant le secretaire, ayant apaise la foule, dit: Hommes Ephesiens, quel est celui qui ignore que la ville d'Ephese est la gardienne du temple de la grande Diane et de son simulacre tombe du ciel?
 acts19.36   Cela etant incontestable, vous devez vous calmer, et ne rien faire avec precipitation.
 acts19.37   Car vous avez amene ces hommes, qui ne sont coupables ni de sacrilege, ni de blaspheme envers notre deesse.
 acts19.38   Si donc Demetrius et ses ouvriers ont a se plaindre de quelqu'un, il y a des jours d'audience et des proconsuls; qu'ils s'appellent en justice les uns les autres.
 acts19.39   Et si vous avez en vue d'autres objets, ils se regleront dans une assemblee legale.
 acts19.40   Nous risquons, en effet, d'etre accuses de sedition pour ce qui s'est passe aujourd'hui, puisqu'il n'existe aucun motif qui nous permette de justifier cet attroupement.
 acts19.41   (19:40b) Apres ces paroles, il congedia l'assemblee.

Actes 20
 acts20.1    Lorsque le tumulte eut cesse, Paul reunit les disciples, et, apres les avoir exhortes, prit conge d'eux, et partit pour aller en Macedoine.
 acts20.2    Il parcourut cette contree, en adressant aux disciples de nombreuses exhortations.
 acts20.3    Puis il se rendit en Grece, ou il sejourna trois mois. Il etait sur le point de s'embarquer pour la Syrie, quand les Juifs lui dresserent des embuches. Alors il se decida a reprendre la route de la Macedoine.
 acts20.4    Il avait pour l'accompagner jusqu'en Asie: Sopater de Beree, fils de Pyrrhus, Aristarque et Second de Thessalonique, Gaius de Derbe, Timothee, ainsi que Tychique et Trophime, originaires d'Asie.
 acts20.5    Ceux-ci prirent les devants, et nous attendirent a Troas.
 acts20.6    Pour nous, apres les jours des pains sans levain, nous nous embarquames a Philippes, et, au bout de cinq jours, nous les rejoignimes a Troas, ou nous passames sept jours.
 acts20.7    Le premier jour de la semaine, nous etions reunis pour rompre le pain. Paul, qui devait partir le lendemain, s'entretenait avec les disciples, et il prolongea son discours jusqu'a minuit.
 acts20.8    Il y avait beaucoup de lampes dans la chambre haute ou nous etions assembles.
 acts20.9    Or, un jeune homme nomme Eutychus, qui etait assis sur la fenetre, s'endormit profondement pendant le long discours de Paul; entraine par le sommeil, il tomba du troisieme etage en bas, et il fut releve mort.
 acts20.10   Mais Paul, etant descendu, se pencha sur lui et le prit dans ses bras, en disant: Ne vous troublez pas, car son ame est en lui.
 acts20.11   Quand il fut remonte, il rompit le pain et mangea, et il parla longtemps encore jusqu'au jour. Apres quoi il partit.
 acts20.12   Le jeune homme fut ramene vivant, et ce fut le sujet d'une grande consolation.
 acts20.13   Pour nous, nous precedames Paul sur le navire, et nous fimes voile pour Assos, ou nous avions convenu de le reprendre, parce qu'il devait faire la route a pied.
 acts20.14   Lorsqu'il nous eut rejoints a Assos, nous le primes a bord, et nous allames a Mytilene.
 acts20.15   De la, continuant par mer, nous arrivames le lendemain vis-a-vis de Chios. Le jour suivant, nous cinglames vers Samos, et le jour d'apres nous vinmes a Milet.
 acts20.16   Paul avait resolu de passer devant Ephese sans s'y arreter, afin de ne pas perdre de temps en Asie; car il se hatait pour se trouver, si cela lui etait possible, a Jerusalem le jour de la Pentecote.
 acts20.17   Cependant, de Milet Paul envoya chercher a Ephese les anciens de l'Eglise.
 acts20.18   Lorsqu'ils furent arrives vers lui, il leur dit: Vous savez de quelle maniere, depuis le premier jour ou je suis entre en Asie, je me suis sans cesse conduit avec vous,
 acts20.19   servant le Seigneur en toute humilite, avec larmes, et au milieu des epreuves que me suscitaient les embuches des Juifs.
 acts20.20   Vous savez que je n'ai rien cache de ce qui vous etait utile, et que je n'ai pas craint de vous precher et de vous enseigner publiquement et dans les maisons,
 acts20.21   annoncant aux Juifs et aux Grecs la repentance envers Dieu et la foi en notre Seigneur Jesus Christ.
 acts20.22   Et maintenant voici, lie par l'Esprit, je vais a Jerusalem, ne sachant pas ce qui m'y arrivera;
 acts20.23   seulement, de ville en ville, l'Esprit Saint m'avertit que des liens et des tribulations m'attendent.
 acts20.24   Mais je ne fais pour moi-meme aucun cas de ma vie, comme si elle m'etait precieuse, pourvu que j'accomplisse ma course avec joie, et le ministere que j'ai recu du Seigneur Jesus, d'annoncer la bonne nouvelle de la grace de Dieu.
 acts20.25   Et maintenant voici, je sais que vous ne verrez plus mon visage, vous tous au milieu desquels j'ai passe en prechant le royaume de Dieu.
 acts20.26   C'est pourquoi je vous declare aujourd'hui que je suis pur du sang de vous tous,
 acts20.27   car je vous ai annonce tout le conseil de Dieu, sans en rien cacher.
 acts20.28   Prenez donc garde a vous-memes, et a tout le troupeau sur lequel le Saint Esprit vous a etablis eveques, pour paitre l'Eglise du Seigneur, qu'il s'est acquise par son propre sang.
 acts20.29   Je sais qu'il s'introduira parmi vous, apres mon depart, des loups cruels qui n'epargneront pas le troupeau,
 acts20.30   et qu'il s'elevera du milieu de vous des hommes qui enseigneront des choses pernicieuses, pour entrainer les disciples apres eux.
 acts20.31   Veillez donc, vous souvenant que, durant trois annees, je n'ai cesse nuit et jour d'exhorter avec larmes chacun de vous.
 acts20.32   Et maintenant je vous recommande a Dieu et a la parole de sa grace, a celui qui peut edifier et donner l'heritage avec tous les sanctifies.
 acts20.33   Je n'ai desire ni l'argent, ni l'or, ni les vetements de personne.
 acts20.34   34Vous savez vous-memes que ces mains ont pourvu a mes besoins et a ceux des personnes qui etaient avec moi.
 acts20.35   Je vous ai montre de toutes manieres que c'est en travaillant ainsi qu'il faut soutenir les faibles, et se rappeler les paroles du Seigneur, qui a dit lui-meme: Il y a plus de bonheur a donner qu'a recevoir.
 acts20.36   Apres avoir ainsi parle, il se mit a genoux, et il pria avec eux tous.
 acts20.37   Et tous fondirent en larmes, et, se jetant au cou de Paul,
 acts20.38   ils l'embrassaient, affliges surtout de ce qu'il avait dit qu'ils ne verraient plus son visage. Et ils l'accompagnerent jusqu'au navire.

Actes 21
 acts21.1    Nous nous embarquames, apres nous etre separes d'eux, et nous allames directement a Cos, le lendemain a Rhodes, et de la a Patara.
 acts21.2    Et ayant trouve un navire qui faisait la traversee vers la Phenicie, nous montames et partimes.
 acts21.3    Quand nous fumes en vue de l'ile de Chypre, nous la laissames a gauche, poursuivant notre route du cote de la Syrie, et nous abordames a Tyr, ou le batiment devait decharger sa cargaison.
 acts21.4    Nous trouvames les disciples, et nous restames la sept jours. Les disciples, pousses par l'Esprit, disaient a Paul de ne pas monter a Jerusalem.
 acts21.5    Mais, lorsque nous fumes au terme des sept jours, nous nous acheminames pour partir, et tous nous accompagnerent avec leur femme et leurs enfants jusque hors de la ville. Nous nous mimes a genoux sur le rivage, et nous priames.
 acts21.6    Puis, ayant pris conge les uns des autres, nous montames sur le navire, et ils retournerent chez eux.
 acts21.7    Achevant notre navigation, nous allames de Tyr a Ptolemais, ou nous saluames les freres, et passames un jour avec eux.
 acts21.8    Nous partimes le lendemain, et nous arrivames a Cesaree. Etant entres dans la maison de Philippe l'evangeliste, qui etait l'un des sept, nous logeames chez lui.
 acts21.9    Il avait quatre filles vierges qui prophetisaient.
 acts21.10   0Comme nous etions la depuis plusieurs jours, un prophete, nomme Agabus, descendit de Judee,
 acts21.11   et vint nous trouver. Il prit la ceinture de Paul, se lia les pieds et les mains, et dit: Voici ce que declare le Saint Esprit: L'homme a qui appartient cette ceinture, les Juifs le lieront de la meme maniere a Jerusalem, et le livreront entre les mains des paiens.
 acts21.12   Quand nous entendimes cela, nous et ceux de l'endroit, nous priames Paul de ne pas monter a Jerusalem.
 acts21.13   Alors il repondit: Que faites-vous, en pleurant et en me brisant le coeur? Je suis pret, non seulement a etre lie, mais encore a mourir a Jerusalem pour le nom du Seigneur Jesus.
 acts21.14   Comme il ne se laissait pas persuader, nous n'insistames pas, et nous dimes: Que la volonte du Seigneur se fasse!
 acts21.15   Apres ces jours-la, nous fimes nos preparatifs, et nous montames a Jerusalem.
 acts21.16   Quelques disciples de Cesaree vinrent aussi avec nous, et nous conduisirent chez un nomme Mnason, de l'ile de Chypre, ancien disciple, chez qui nous devions loger.
 acts21.17   Lorsque nous arrivames a Jerusalem, les freres nous recurent avec joie.
 acts21.18   Le lendemain, Paul se rendit avec nous chez Jacques, et tous les anciens s'y reunirent.
 acts21.19   Apres les avoir salues, il raconta en detail ce que Dieu avait fait au milieu des paiens par son ministere.
 acts21.20   Quand ils l'eurent entendu, ils glorifierent Dieu. Puis ils lui dirent: Tu vois, frere, combien de milliers de Juifs ont cru, et tous sont zeles pour la loi.
 acts21.21   Or, ils ont appris que tu enseignes a tous les Juifs qui sont parmi les paiens a renoncer a Moise, leur disant de ne pas circoncire les enfants et de ne pas se conformer aux coutumes.
 acts21.22   Que faire donc? Sans aucun doute la multitude se rassemblera, car on saura que tu es venu.
 acts21.23   C'est pourquoi fais ce que nous allons te dire. Il y a parmi nous quatre hommes qui ont fait un voeu;
 acts21.24   prends-les avec toi, purifie-toi avec eux, et pourvois a leur depense, afin qu'ils se rasent la tete. Et ainsi tous sauront que ce qu'ils ont entendu dire sur ton compte est faux, mais que toi aussi tu te conduis en observateur de la loi.
 acts21.25   A l'egard des paiens qui ont cru, nous avons decide et nous leur avons ecrit qu'ils eussent a s'abstenir des viandes sacrifiees aux idoles, du sang, des animaux etouffes, et de l'impudicite.
 acts21.26   Alors Paul prit ces hommes, se purifia, et entra le lendemain dans le temple avec eux, pour annoncer a quel jour la purification serait accomplie et l'offrande presentee pour chacun d'eux.
 acts21.27   Sur la fin des sept jours, les Juifs d'Asie, ayant vu Paul dans le temple, souleverent toute la foule, et mirent la main sur lui,
 acts21.28   en criant: Hommes Israelites, au secours! Voici l'homme qui preche partout et a tout le monde contre le peuple, contre la loi et contre ce lieu; il a meme introduit des Grecs dans le temple, et a profane ce saint lieu.
 acts21.29   Car ils avaient vu auparavant Trophime d'Ephese avec lui dans la ville, et ils croyaient que Paul l'avait fait entrer dans le temple.
 acts21.30   Toute la ville fut emue, et le peuple accourut de toutes parts. Ils se saisirent de Paul, et le trainerent hors du temple, dont les portes furent aussitot fermees.
 acts21.31   Comme ils cherchaient a le tuer, le bruit vint au tribun de la cohorte que tout Jerusalem etait en confusion.
 acts21.32   A l'instant il prit des soldats et des centeniers, et courut a eux. Voyant le tribun et les soldats, ils cesserent de frapper Paul.
 acts21.33   Alors le tribun s'approcha, se saisit de lui, et le fit lier de deux chaines. Puis il demanda qui il etait, et ce qu'il avait fait.
 acts21.34   Mais dans la foule les uns criaient d'une maniere, les autres d'une autre; ne pouvant donc rien apprendre de certain, a cause du tumulte, il ordonna de le mener dans la forteresse.
 acts21.35   Lorsque Paul fut sur les degres, il dut etre porte par les soldats, a cause de la violence de la foule;
 acts21.36   car la multitude du peuple suivait, en criant: Fais-le mourir!
 acts21.37   Au moment d'etre introduit dans la forteresse, Paul dit au tribun: M'est-il permis de te dire quelque chose? Le tribun repondit: Tu sais le grec?
 acts21.38   Tu n'es donc pas cet Egyptien qui s'est revolte dernierement, et qui a emmene dans le desert quatre mille brigands?
 acts21.39   Je suis Juif, reprit Paul, de Tarse en Cilicie, citoyen d'une ville qui n'est pas sans importance. Permets-moi, je te prie, de parler au peuple.
 acts21.40   Le tribun le lui ayant permis, Paul, debout sur les degres, fit signe de la main au peuple. Un profond silence s'etablit, et Paul, parlant en langue hebraique, dit:

Actes 22
 acts22.1    Hommes freres et peres, ecoutez ce que j'ai maintenant a vous dire pour ma defense!
 acts22.2    Lorsqu'ils entendirent qu'il leur parlait en langue hebraique, ils redoublerent de silence. Et Paul dit:
 acts22.3    je suis Juif, ne a Tarse en Cilicie; mais j'ai ete eleve dans cette ville-ci, et instruit aux pieds de Gamaliel dans la connaissance exacte de la loi de nos peres, etant plein de zele pour Dieu, comme vous l'etes tous aujourd'hui.
 acts22.4    J'ai persecute a mort cette doctrine, liant et mettant en prison hommes et femmes.
 acts22.5    Le souverain sacrificateur et tout le college des anciens m'en sont temoins. J'ai meme recu d'eux des lettres pour les freres de Damas, ou je me rendis afin d'amener lies a Jerusalem ceux qui se trouvaient la et de les faire punir.
 acts22.6    Comme j'etais en chemin, et que j'approchais de Damas, tout a coup, vers midi, une grande lumiere venant du ciel resplendit autour de moi.
 acts22.7    Je tombai par terre, et j'entendis une voix qui me disait: Saul, Saul, pourquoi me persecutes-tu?
 acts22.8    Je repondis: Qui es-tu, Seigneur? Et il me dit: Je suis Jesus de Nazareth, que tu persecutes.
 acts22.9    Ceux qui etaient avec moi virent bien la lumiere, mais ils n'entendirent pas la voix de celui qui parlait. Alors je dis: Que ferai-je, Seigneur?
 acts22.10   Et le Seigneur me dit: Leve-toi, va a Damas, et la on te dira tout ce que tu dois faire.
 acts22.11   Comme je ne voyais rien, a cause de l'eclat de cette lumiere, ceux qui etaient avec moi me prirent par la main, et j'arrivai a Damas.
 acts22.12   Or, un nomme Ananias, homme pieux selon la loi, et de qui tous les Juifs demeurant a Damas rendaient un bon temoignage, vint se presenter a moi,
 acts22.13   et me dit: Saul, mon frere, recouvre la vue. Au meme instant, je recouvrai la vue et je le regardai.
 acts22.14   Il dit: Le Dieu de nos peres t'a destine a connaitre sa volonte, a voir le Juste, et a entendre les paroles de sa bouche;
 acts22.15   car tu lui serviras de temoin, aupres de tous les hommes, des choses que tu as vues et entendues.
 acts22.16   Et maintenant, que tardes-tu? Leve-toi, sois baptise, et lave de tes peches, en invoquant le nom du Seigneur.
 acts22.17   De retour a Jerusalem, comme je priais dans le temple, je fus ravi en extase,
 acts22.18   et je vis le Seigneur qui me disait: Hate-toi, et sors promptement de Jerusalem, parce qu'ils ne recevront pas ton temoignage sur moi.
 acts22.19   Et je dis: Seigneur, ils savent eux-memes que je faisais mettre en prison et battre de verges dans les synagogues ceux qui croyaient en toi, et que,
 acts22.20   lorsqu'on repandit le sang d'Etienne, ton temoin, j'etais moi-meme present, joignant mon approbation a celle des autres, et gardant les vetements de ceux qui le faisaient mourir.
 acts22.21   Alors il me dit: Va, je t'enverrai au loin vers les nations...
 acts22.22   Ils l'ecouterent jusqu'a cette parole. Mais alors ils eleverent la voix, disant: Ote de la terre un pareil homme! Il n'est pas digne de vivre.
 acts22.23   Et ils poussaient des cris, jetaient leurs vetements, lancaient de la poussiere en l'air.
 acts22.24   Le tribun commanda de faire entrer Paul dans la forteresse, et de lui donner la question par le fouet, afin de savoir pour quel motif ils criaient ainsi contre lui.
 acts22.25   Lorsqu'on l'eut expose au fouet, Paul dit au centenier qui etait present: Vous est-il permis de battre de verges un citoyen romain, qui n'est pas meme condamne?
 acts22.26   A ces mots, le centenier alla vers le tribun pour l'avertir, disant: Que vas-tu faire? Cet homme est Romain.
 acts22.27   Et le tribun, etant venu, dit a Paul: Dis-moi, es-tu Romain? Oui, repondit-il.
 acts22.28   Le tribun reprit: C'est avec beaucoup d'argent que j'ai acquis ce droit de citoyen. Et moi, dit Paul, je l'ai par ma naissance.
 acts22.29   Aussitot ceux qui devaient lui donner la question se retirerent, et le tribun, voyant que Paul etait Romain, fut dans la crainte parce qu'il l'avait fait lier.
 acts22.30   Le lendemain, voulant savoir avec certitude de quoi les Juifs l'accusaient, le tribun lui fit oter ses liens, et donna l'ordre aux principaux sacrificateurs et a tout le sanhedrin de se reunir; puis, faisant descendre Paul, il le placa au milieu d'eux.

Actes 23
 acts23.1    Paul, les regards fixes sur le sanhedrin, dit: Hommes freres, c'est en toute bonne conscience que je me suis conduit jusqu'a ce jour devant Dieu...
 acts23.2    Le souverain sacrificateur Ananias ordonna a ceux qui etaient pres de lui de le frapper sur la bouche.
 acts23.3    Alors Paul lui dit: Dieu te frappera, muraille blanchie! Tu es assis pour me juger selon la loi, et tu violes la loi en ordonnant qu'on me frappe!
 acts23.4    Ceux qui etaient pres de lui dirent: Tu insultes le souverain sacrificateur de Dieu!
 acts23.5    Et Paul dit: Je ne savais pas, freres, que ce fut le souverain sacrificateur; car il est ecrit: Tu ne parleras pas mal du chef de ton peuple.
 acts23.6    Paul, sachant qu'une partie de l'assemblee etait composee de sadduceens et l'autre de pharisiens, s'ecria dans le sanhedrin: Hommes freres, je suis pharisien, fils de pharisien; c'est a cause de l'esperance et de la resurrection des morts que je suis mis en jugement.
 acts23.7    Quand il eut dit cela, il s'eleva une discussion entre les pharisiens et les sadduceens, et l'assemblee se divisa.
 acts23.8    Car les sadduceens disent qu'il n'y a point de resurrection, et qu'il n'existe ni ange ni esprit, tandis que les pharisiens affirment les deux choses.
 acts23.9    Il y eut une grande clameur, et quelques scribes du parti des pharisiens, s'etant leves, engagerent un vif debat, et dirent: Nous ne trouvons aucun mal en cet homme; peut-etre un esprit ou un ange lui a-t-il parle.
 acts23.10   Comme la discorde allait croissant, le tribun craignant que Paul ne fut mis en pieces par ces gens, fit descendre les soldats pour l'enlever du milieu d'eux et le conduire a la forteresse.
 acts23.11   La nuit suivante, le Seigneur apparut a Paul, et dit: Prends courage; car, de meme que tu as rendu temoignage de moi dans Jerusalem, il faut aussi que tu rendes temoignage dans Rome.
 acts23.12   Quand le jour fut venu, les Juifs formerent un complot, et firent des imprecations contre eux-memes, en disant qu'ils s'abstiendraient de manger et de boire jusqu'a ce qu'ils eussent tue Paul.
 acts23.13   Ceux qui formerent ce complot etaient plus de quarante,
 acts23.14   et ils allerent trouver les principaux sacrificateurs et les anciens, auxquels ils dirent: Nous nous sommes engages, avec des imprecations contre nous-memes, a ne rien manger jusqu'a ce que nous ayons tue Paul.
 acts23.15   Vous donc, maintenant, adressez-vous avec le sanhedrin au tribun, pour qu'il l'amene devant vous, comme si vous vouliez examiner sa cause plus exactement; et nous, avant qu'il approche, nous sommes prets a le tuer.
 acts23.16   Le fils de la soeur de Paul, ayant eu connaissance du guet-apens, alla dans la forteresse en informer Paul.
 acts23.17   Paul appela l'un des centeniers, et dit: Mene ce jeune homme vers le tribun, car il a quelque chose a lui rapporter.
 acts23.18   Le centenier prit le jeune homme avec lui, le conduisit vers le tribun, et dit: Le prisonnier Paul m'a appele, et il m'a prie de t'amener ce jeune homme, qui a quelque chose a te dire.
 acts23.19   Le tribun, prenant le jeune homme par la main, et se retirant a l'ecart, lui demanda: Qu'as-tu a m'annoncer?
 acts23.20   Il repondit: Les Juifs sont convenus de te prier d'amener Paul demain devant le sanhedrin, comme si tu devais t'enquerir de lui plus exactement.
 acts23.21   Ne les ecoute pas, car plus de quarante d'entre eux lui dressent un guet-apens, et se sont engages, avec des imprecations contre eux-memes, a ne rien manger ni boire jusqu'a ce qu'ils l'aient tue; maintenant ils sont prets, et n'attendent que ton consentement.
 acts23.22   Le tribun renvoya le jeune homme, apres lui avoir recommande de ne parler a personne de ce rapport qu'il lui avait fait.
 acts23.23   Ensuite il appela deux des centeniers, et dit: Tenez prets, des la troisieme heure de la nuit, deux cents soldats, soixante-dix cavaliers et deux cents archers, pour aller jusqu'a Cesaree.
 acts23.24   Qu'il y ait aussi des montures pour Paul, afin qu'on le mene sain et sauf au gouverneur Felix.
 acts23.25   Il ecrivit une lettre ainsi concue:
 acts23.26   Claude Lysias au tres excellent gouverneur Felix, salut!
 acts23.27   Cet homme, dont les Juifs s'etaient saisis, allait etre tue par eux, lorsque je survins avec des soldats et le leur enlevai, ayant appris qu'il etait Romain.
 acts23.28   Voulant connaitre le motif pour lequel ils l'accusaient, je l'amenai devant leur sanhedrin.
 acts23.29   J'ai trouve qu'il etait accuse au sujet de questions relatives a leur loi, mais qu'il n'avait commis aucun crime qui merite la mort ou la prison.
 acts23.30   Informe que les Juifs lui dressaient des embuches, je te l'ai aussitot envoye, en faisant savoir a ses accusateurs qu'ils eussent a s'adresser eux-memes a toi. Adieu.
 acts23.31   Les soldats, selon l'ordre qu'ils avaient recu, prirent Paul, et le conduisirent pendant la nuit jusqu'a Antipatris.
 acts23.32   Le lendemain, laissant les cavaliers poursuivre la route avec lui, ils retournerent a la forteresse.
 acts23.33   Arrives a Cesaree, les cavaliers remirent la lettre au gouverneur, et lui presenterent Paul.
 acts23.34   Le gouverneur, apres avoir lu la lettre, demanda de quelle province etait Paul. Ayant appris qu'il etait de la Cilicie:
 acts23.35   Je t'entendrai, dit-il, quand tes accusateurs seront venus. Et il ordonna qu'on le gardat dans le pretoire d'Herode.

Actes 24
 acts24.1    Cinq jours apres, arriva le souverain sacrificateur Ananias, avec des anciens et un orateur nomme Tertulle. Ils porterent plainte au gouverneur contre Paul.
 acts24.2    Paul fut appele, et Tertulle se mit a l'accuser, en ces termes:
 acts24.3    Tres excellent Felix, tu nous fais jouir d'une paix profonde, et cette nation a obtenu de salutaires reformes par tes soins prevoyants; c'est ce que nous reconnaissons en tout et partout avec une entiere gratitude.
 acts24.4    Mais, pour ne pas te retenir davantage, je te prie d'ecouter, dans ta bonte, ce que nous avons a dire en peu de mots.
 acts24.5    Nous avons trouve cet homme, qui est une peste, qui excite des divisions parmi tous les Juifs du monde, qui est chef de la secte des Nazareens,
 acts24.6    et qui meme a tente de profaner le temple. Et nous l'avons arrete. Nous avons voulu le juger selon notre loi;
 acts24.7    mais le tribun Lysias etant survenu, l'a arrache de nos mains avec une grande violence,
 acts24.8    en ordonnant a ses accusateurs de venir devant toi. Tu pourras toi-meme, en l'interrogeant, apprendre de lui tout ce dont nous l'accusons.
 acts24.9    Les Juifs se joignirent a l'accusation, soutenant que les choses etaient ainsi.
 acts24.10   0Apres que le gouverneur lui eut fait signe de parler, Paul repondit: Sachant que, depuis plusieurs annees, tu es juge de cette nation, c'est avec confiance que je prends la parole pour defendre ma cause.
 acts24.11   Il n'y a pas plus de douze jours, tu peux t'en assurer, que je suis monte a Jerusalem pour adorer.
 acts24.12   On ne m'a trouve ni dans le temple, ni dans les synagogues, ni dans la ville, disputant avec quelqu'un, ou provoquant un rassemblement seditieux de la foule.
 acts24.13   Et ils ne sauraient prouver ce dont ils m'accusent maintenant.
 acts24.14   Je t'avoue bien que je sers le Dieu de mes peres selon la voie qu'ils appellent une secte, croyant tout ce qui est ecrit dans la loi et dans les prophetes,
 acts24.15   et ayant en Dieu cette esperance, comme ils l'ont eux-memes, qu'il y aura une resurrection des justes et des injustes.
 acts24.16   C'est pourquoi je m'efforce d'avoir constamment une conscience sans reproche devant Dieu et devant les hommes.
 acts24.17   Apres une absence de plusieurs annees, je suis venu pour faire des aumones a ma nation, et pour presenter des offrandes.
 acts24.18   C'est alors que quelques Juifs d'Asie m'ont trouve purifie dans le temple, sans attroupement ni tumulte.
 acts24.19   C'etait a eux de paraitre en ta presence et de se porter accusateurs, s'ils avaient quelque chose contre moi.
 acts24.20   Ou bien, que ceux-ci declarent de quel crime ils m'ont trouve coupable, lorsque j'ai comparu devant le sanhedrin,
 acts24.21   a moins que ce ne soit uniquement de ce cri que j'ai fait entendre au milieu d'eux: C'est a cause de la resurrection des morts que je suis aujourd'hui mis en jugement devant vous.
 acts24.22   Felix, qui savait assez exactement ce qui concernait cette doctrine, les ajourna, en disant: Quand le tribun Lysias sera venu, j'examinerai votre affaire.
 acts24.23   Et il donna l'ordre au centenier de garder Paul, en lui laissant une certaine liberte, et en n'empechant aucun des siens de lui rendre des services.
 acts24.24   Quelques jours apres, Felix vint avec Drusille, sa femme, qui etait Juive, et il fit appeler Paul. Il l'entendit sur la foi en Christ.
 acts24.25   Mais, comme Paul discourait sur la justice, sur la temperance, et sur le jugement a venir, Felix, effraye, dit: Pour le moment retire-toi; quand j'en trouverai l'occasion, je te rappellerai.
 acts24.26   Il esperait en meme temps que Paul lui donnerait de l'argent; aussi l'envoyait-il chercher assez frequemment, pour s'entretenir avec lui.
 acts24.27   Deux ans s'ecoulerent ainsi, et Felix eut pour successeur Porcius Festus. Dans le desir de plaire aux Juifs, Felix laissa Paul en prison.

Actes 25
 acts25.1    Festus, etant arrive dans la province, monta trois jours apres de Cesaree a Jerusalem.
 acts25.2    Les principaux sacrificateurs et les principaux d'entre les Juifs lui porterent plainte contre Paul. Ils firent des instances aupres de lui, et, dans des vues hostiles,
 acts25.3    lui demanderent comme une faveur qu'il le fit venir a Jerusalem. Ils preparaient un guet-apens, pour le tuer en chemin.
 acts25.4    Festus repondit que Paul etait garde a Cesaree, et que lui-meme devait partir sous peu.
 acts25.5    Que les principaux d'entre vous descendent avec moi, dit-il, et s'il y a quelque chose de coupable en cet homme, qu'ils l'accusent.
 acts25.6    Festus ne passa que huit a dix jours parmi eux, puis il descendit a Cesaree. Le lendemain, s'etant assis sur son tribunal, il donna l'ordre qu'on amenat Paul.
 acts25.7    Quand il fut arrive, les Juifs qui etaient venus de Jerusalem l'entourerent, et porterent contre lui de nombreuses et graves accusations, qu'ils n'etaient pas en etat de prouver.
 acts25.8    Paul entreprit sa defense, en disant: Je n'ai rien fait de coupable, ni contre la loi des Juifs, ni contre le temple, ni contre Cesar.
 acts25.9    Festus, desirant plaire aux Juifs, repondit a Paul: Veux-tu monter a Jerusalem, et y etre juge sur ces choses en ma presence?
 acts25.10   Paul dit: C'est devant le tribunal de Cesar que je comparais, c'est la que je dois etre juge. Je n'ai fait aucun tort aux Juifs, comme tu le sais fort bien.
 acts25.11   Si j'ai commis quelque injustice, ou quelque crime digne de mort, je ne refuse pas de mourir; mais, si les choses dont ils m'accusent sont fausses, personne n'a le droit de me livrer a eux. J'en appelle a Cesar.
 acts25.12   Alors Festus, apres avoir delibere avec le conseil, repondit: Tu en as appele a Cesar; tu iras devant Cesar.
 acts25.13   Quelques jours apres, le roi Agrippa et Berenice arriverent a Cesaree, pour saluer Festus.
 acts25.14   Comme ils passerent la plusieurs jours, Festus exposa au roi l'affaire de Paul, et dit: Felix a laisse prisonnier un homme
 acts25.15   contre lequel, lorsque j'etais a Jerusalem, les principaux sacrificateurs et les anciens des Juifs ont porte plainte, en demandant sa condamnation.
 acts25.16   Je leur ai repondu que ce n'est pas la coutume des Romains de livrer un homme avant que l'inculpe ait ete mis en presence de ses accusateurs, et qu'il ait eu la faculte de se defendre sur les choses dont on l'accuse.
 acts25.17   Ils sont donc venus ici, et, sans differer, je m'assis le lendemain sur mon tribunal, et je donnai l'ordre qu'on amenat cet homme.
 acts25.18   Les accusateurs, s'etant presentes, ne lui imputerent rien de ce que je supposais;
 acts25.19   ils avaient avec lui des discussions relatives a leur religion particuliere, et a un certain Jesus qui est mort, et que Paul affirmait etre vivant.
 acts25.20   Ne sachant quel parti prendre dans ce debat, je lui demandai s'il voulait aller a Jerusalem, et y etre juge sur ces choses.
 acts25.21   Mais Paul en ayant appele, pour que sa cause fut reservee a la connaissance de l'empereur, j'ai ordonne qu'on le gardat jusqu'a ce que je l'envoyasse a Cesar.
 acts25.22   Agrippa dit a Festus: Je voudrais aussi entendre cet homme. Demain, repondit Festus, tu l'entendras.
 acts25.23   Le lendemain donc, Agrippa et Berenice vinrent en grande pompe, et entrerent dans le lieu de l'audience avec les tribuns et les principaux de la ville. Sur l'ordre de Festus, Paul fut amene.
 acts25.24   Alors Festus dit: Roi Agrippa, et vous tous qui etes presents avec nous, vous voyez cet homme au sujet duquel toute la multitude des Juifs s'est adressee a moi, soit a Jerusalem, soit ici, en s'ecriant qu'il ne devait plus vivre.
 acts25.25   Pour moi, ayant reconnu qu'il n'a rien fait qui merite la mort, et lui-meme en ayant appele a l'empereur, j'ai resolu de le faire partir.
 acts25.26   Je n'ai rien de certain a ecrire a l'empereur sur son compte; c'est pourquoi je l'ai fait paraitre devant vous, et surtout devant toi, roi Agrippa, afin de savoir qu'ecrire, apres qu'il aura ete examine.
 acts25.27   Car il me semble absurde d'envoyer un prisonnier sans indiquer de quoi on l'accuse.

Actes 26
 acts26.1    Agrippa dit a Paul: Il t'est permis de parler pour ta defense. Et Paul, ayant etendu la main, se justifia en ces termes:
 acts26.2    Je m'estime heureux, roi Agrippa, d'avoir aujourd'hui a me justifier devant toi de toutes les choses dont je suis accuse par les Juifs,
 acts26.3    car tu connais parfaitement leurs coutumes et leurs discussions. Je te prie donc de m'ecouter avec patience.
 acts26.4    Ma vie, des les premiers temps de ma jeunesse, est connue de tous les Juifs, puisqu'elle s'est passee a Jerusalem, au milieu de ma nation.
 acts26.5    Ils savent depuis longtemps, s'ils veulent le declarer, que j'ai vecu pharisien, selon la secte la plus rigide de notre religion.
 acts26.6    Et maintenant, je suis mis en jugement parce que j'espere l'accomplissement de la promesse que Dieu a faite a nos peres,
 acts26.7    et a laquelle aspirent nos douze tribus, qui servent Dieu continuellement nuit et jour. C'est pour cette esperance, o roi, que je suis accuse par des Juifs!
 acts26.8    Quoi! vous semble-t-il incroyable que Dieu ressuscite les morts?
 acts26.9    Pour moi, j'avais cru devoir agir vigoureusement contre le nom de Jesus de Nazareth.
 acts26.10   C'est ce que j'ai fait a Jerusalem. J'ai jete en prison plusieurs des saints, ayant recu ce pouvoir des principaux sacrificateurs, et, quand on les mettait a mort, je joignais mon suffrage a celui des autres.
 acts26.11   je les ai souvent chaties dans toutes les synagogues, et je les forcais a blasphemer. Dans mes exces de fureur contre eux, je les persecutais meme jusque dans les villes etrangeres.
 acts26.12   C'est dans ce but que je me rendis a Damas, avec l'autorisation et la permission des principaux sacrificateurs.
 acts26.13   Vers le milieu du jour, o roi, je vis en chemin resplendir autour de moi et de mes compagnons une lumiere venant du ciel, et dont l'eclat surpassait celui du soleil.
 acts26.14   Nous tombames tous par terre, et j'entendis une voix qui me disait en langue hebraique: Saul, Saul, pourquoi me persecutes-tu? Il te serait dur de regimber contre les aiguillons.
 acts26.15   Je repondis: Qui es-tu, Seigneur? Et le Seigneur dit: Je suis Jesus que tu persecutes.
 acts26.16   Mais leve-toi, et tiens-toi sur tes pieds; car je te suis apparu pour t'etablir ministre et temoin des choses que tu as vues et de celles pour lesquelles je t'apparaitrai.
 acts26.17   Je t'ai choisi du milieu de ce peuple et du milieu des paiens, vers qui je t'envoie,
 acts26.18   afin que tu leur ouvres les yeux, pour qu'ils passent des tenebres a la lumiere et de la puissance de Satan a Dieu, pour qu'ils recoivent, par la foi en moi, le pardon des peches et l'heritage avec les sanctifies.
 acts26.19   En consequence, roi Agrippa, je n'ai point resiste a la vision celeste:
 acts26.20   a ceux de Damas d'abord, puis a Jerusalem, dans toute la Judee, et chez les paiens, j'ai preche la repentance et la conversion a Dieu, avec la pratique d'oeuvres dignes de la repentance.
 acts26.21   Voila pourquoi les Juifs se sont saisis de moi dans le temple, et ont tache de me faire perir.
 acts26.22   Mais, grace au secours de Dieu, j'ai subsiste jusqu'a ce jour, rendant temoignage devant les petits et les grands, sans m'ecarter en rien de ce que les prophetes et Moise ont declare devoir arriver,
 acts26.23   savoir que le Christ souffrirait, et que, ressuscite le premier d'entre les morts, il annoncerait la lumiere au peuple et aux nations.
 acts26.24   Comme il parlait ainsi pour sa justification, Festus dit a haute voix: Tu es fou, Paul! Ton grand savoir te fait deraisonner.
 acts26.25   Je ne suis point fou, tres excellent Festus, repliqua Paul; ce sont, au contraire, des paroles de verite et de bon sens que je prononce.
 acts26.26   Le roi est instruit de ces choses, et je lui en parle librement; car je suis persuade qu'il n'en ignore aucune, puisque ce n'est pas en cachette qu'elles se sont passees.
 acts26.27   Crois-tu aux prophetes, roi Agrippa?... Je sais que tu y crois.
 acts26.28   Et Agrippa dit a Paul: Tu vas bientot me persuader de devenir chretien!
 acts26.29   Paul repondit: Que ce soit bientot ou que ce soit tard, plaise a Dieu que non seulement toi, mais encore tous ceux qui m'ecoutent aujourd'hui, vous deveniez tels que je suis, a l'exception de ces liens!
 acts26.30   Le roi, le gouverneur, Berenice, et tous ceux qui etaient assis avec eux se leverent,
 acts26.31   et, en se retirant, ils se disaient les uns aux autres: Cet homme n'a rien fait qui merite la mort ou la prison.
 acts26.32   2Et Agrippa dit a Festus: Cet homme pouvait etre relache, s'il n'en eut pas appele a Cesar.

Actes 27
 acts27.1    Lorsqu'il fut decide que nous nous embarquerions pour l'Italie, on remit Paul et quelques autres prisonniers a un centenier de la cohorte Auguste, nomme Julius.
 acts27.2    Nous montames sur un navire d'Adramytte, qui devait cotoyer l'Asie, et nous partimes, ayant avec nous Aristarque, Macedonien de Thessalonique.
 acts27.3    Le jour suivant, nous abordames a Sidon; et Julius, qui traitait Paul avec bienveillance, lui permit d'aller chez ses amis et de recevoir leurs soins.
 acts27.4    Partis de la, nous longeames l'ile de Chypre, parce que les vents etaient contraires.
 acts27.5    Apres avoir traverse la mer qui baigne la Cilicie et la Pamphylie, nous arrivames a Myra en Lycie.
 acts27.6    Et la, le centenier, ayant trouve un navire d'Alexandrie qui allait en Italie, nous y fit monter.
 acts27.7    Pendant plusieurs jours nous naviguames lentement, et ce ne fut pas sans difficulte que nous atteignimes la hauteur de Cnide, ou le vent ne nous permit pas d'aborder. Nous passames au-dessous de l'ile de Crete, du cote de Salmone.
 acts27.8    Nous la cotoyames avec peine, et nous arrivames a un lieu nomme Beaux Ports, pres duquel etait la ville de Lasee.
 acts27.9    Un temps assez long s'etait ecoule, et la navigation devenait dangereuse, car l'epoque meme du jeune etait deja passee.
 acts27.10   C'est pourquoi Paul avertit les autres, en disant: O hommes, je vois que la navigation ne se fera pas sans peril et sans beaucoup de dommage, non seulement pour la cargaison et pour le navire, mais encore pour nos personnes.
 acts27.11   Le centenier ecouta le pilote et le patron du navire plutot que les paroles de Paul.
 acts27.12   Et comme le port n'etait pas bon pour hiverner, la plupart furent d'avis de le quitter pour tacher d'atteindre Phenix, port de Crete qui regarde le sud-ouest et le nord-ouest, afin d'y passer l'hiver.
 acts27.13   Un leger vent du sud vint a souffler, et, se croyant maitres de leur dessein, ils leverent l'ancre et cotoyerent de pres l'ile de Crete.
 acts27.14   Mais bientot un vent impetueux, qu'on appelle Euraquilon, se dechaina sur l'ile.
 acts27.15   Le navire fut entraine, sans pouvoir lutter contre le vent, et nous nous laissames aller a la derive.
 acts27.16   Nous passames au-dessous d'une petite ile nommee Clauda, et nous eumes de la peine a nous rendre maitres de la chaloupe;
 acts27.17   apres l'avoir hissee, on se servit des moyens de secours pour ceindre le navire, et, dans la crainte de tomber sur la Syrte, on abaissa les voiles. C'est ainsi qu'on se laissa emporter par le vent.
 acts27.18   Comme nous etions violemment battus par la tempete, le lendemain on jeta la cargaison a la mer,
 acts27.19   et le troisieme jour nous y lancames de nos propres mains les agres du navire.
 acts27.20   Le soleil et les etoiles ne parurent pas pendant plusieurs jours, et la tempete etait si forte que nous perdimes enfin toute esperance de nous sauver.
 acts27.21   On n'avait pas mange depuis longtemps. Alors Paul, se tenant au milieu d'eux, leur dit: O hommes, il fallait m'ecouter et ne pas partir de Crete, afin d'eviter ce peril et ce dommage.
 acts27.22   Maintenant je vous exhorte a prendre courage; car aucun de vous ne perira, et il n'y aura de perte que celle du navire.
 acts27.23   Un ange du Dieu a qui j'appartiens et que je sers m'est apparu cette nuit,
 acts27.24   et m'a dit: Paul, ne crains point; il faut que tu comparaisses devant Cesar, et voici, Dieu t'a donne tous ceux qui naviguent avec toi.
 acts27.25   C'est pourquoi, o hommes, rassurez-vous, car j'ai cette confiance en Dieu qu'il en sera comme il m'a ete dit.
 acts27.26   Mais nous devons echouer sur une ile.
 acts27.27   La quatorzieme nuit, tandis que nous etions ballottes sur l'Adriatique, les matelots, vers le milieu de la nuit, soupconnerent qu'on approchait de quelque terre.
 acts27.28   Ayant jete la sonde, ils trouverent vingt brasses; un peu plus loin, ils la jeterent de nouveau, et trouverent quinze brasses.
 acts27.29   Dans la crainte de heurter contre des ecueils, ils jeterent quatre ancres de la poupe, et attendirent le jour avec impatience.
 acts27.30   Mais, comme les matelots cherchaient a s'echapper du navire, et mettaient la chaloupe a la mer sous pretexte de jeter les ancres de la proue,
 acts27.31   Paul dit au centenier et aux soldats: Si ces hommes ne restent pas dans le navire, vous ne pouvez etre sauves.
 acts27.32   Alors les soldats couperent les cordes de la chaloupe, et la laisserent tomber.
 acts27.33   Avant que le jour parut, Paul exhorta tout le monde a prendre de la nourriture, disant: C'est aujourd'hui le quatorzieme jour que vous etes dans l'attente et que vous persistez a vous abstenir de manger.
 acts27.34   Je vous invite donc a prendre de la nourriture, car cela est necessaire pour votre salut, et il ne se perdra pas un cheveux de la tete d'aucun de vous.
 acts27.35   Ayant ainsi parle, il prit du pain, et, apres avoir rendu graces a Dieu devant tous, il le rompit, et se mit a manger.
 acts27.36   Et tous, reprenant courage, mangerent aussi.
 acts27.37   Nous etions, dans le navire, deux cent soixante-seize personnes en tout.
 acts27.38   Quand ils eurent mange suffisamment, ils allegerent le navire en jetant le ble a la mer.
 acts27.39   Lorsque le jour fut venu, ils ne reconnurent point la terre; mais, ayant apercu un golfe avec une plage, ils resolurent d'y pousser le navire, s'ils le pouvaient.
 acts27.40   Ils delierent les ancres pour les laisser aller dans la mer, et ils relacherent en meme temps les attaches des gouvernails; puis ils mirent au vent la voile d'artimon, et se dirigerent vers le rivage.
 acts27.41   Mais ils rencontrerent une langue de terre, ou ils firent echouer le navire; et la proue, s'etant engagee, resta immobile, tandis que la poupe se brisait par la violence des vagues.
 acts27.42   Les soldats furent d'avis de tuer les prisonniers, de peur que quelqu'un d'eux ne s'echappat a la nage.
 acts27.43   Mais le centenier, qui voulait sauver Paul, les empecha d'executer ce dessein. Il ordonna a ceux qui savaient nager de se jeter les premiers dans l'eau pour gagner la terre,
 acts27.44   et aux autres de se mettre sur des planches ou sur des debris du navire. Et ainsi tous parvinrent a terre sains et saufs.

Actes 28
 acts28.1    Apres nous etre sauves, nous reconnumes que l'ile s'appelait Malte.
 acts28.2    Les barbares nous temoignerent une bienveillance peu commune; ils nous recueillirent tous aupres d'un grand feu, qu'ils avaient allume parce que la pluie tombait et qu'il faisait grand froid.
 acts28.3    Paul ayant ramasse un tas de broussailles et l'ayant mis au feu, une vipere en sortit par l'effet de la chaleur et s'attacha a sa main.
 acts28.4    Quand les barbares virent l'animal suspendu a sa main, ils se dirent les uns aux autres: Assurement cet homme est un meurtrier, puisque la Justice n'a pas voulu le laisser vivre, apres qu'il a ete sauve de la mer.
 acts28.5    Paul secoua l'animal dans le feu, et ne ressentit aucun mal.
 acts28.6    Ces gens s'attendaient a le voir enfler ou tomber mort subitement; mais, apres avoir longtemps attendu, voyant qu'il ne lui arrivait aucun mal, ils changerent d'avis et dirent que c'etait un dieu.
 acts28.7    Il y avait, dans les environs, des terres appartenant au principal personnage de l'ile, nomme Publius, qui nous recut et nous logea pendant trois jours de la maniere la plus amicale.
 acts28.8    Le pere de Publius etait alors au lit, malade de la fievre et de la dysenterie; Paul, s'etant rendu vers lui, pria, lui imposa les mains, et le guerit.
 acts28.9    La-dessus, vinrent les autres malades de l'ile, et ils furent gueris.
 acts28.10   0On nous rendit de grands honneurs, et, a notre depart, on nous fournit les choses dont nous avions besoin.
 acts28.11   Apres un sejour de trois mois, nous nous embarquames sur un navire d'Alexandrie, qui avait passe l'hiver dans l'ile, et qui portait pour enseigne les Dioscures.
 acts28.12   Ayant aborde a Syracuse, nous y restames trois jours.
 acts28.13   De la, en suivant la cote, nous atteignimes Reggio; et, le vent du midi s'etant leve le lendemain, nous fimes en deux jours le trajet jusqu'a Pouzzoles,
 acts28.14   ou nous trouvames des freres qui nous prierent de passer sept jours avec eux. Et c'est ainsi que nous allames a Rome.
 acts28.15   De Rome vinrent a notre rencontre, jusqu'au Forum d'Appius et aux Trois Tavernes, les freres qui avaient entendu parler de nous. Paul, en les voyant, rendit graces a Dieu, et prit courage.
 acts28.16   Lorsque nous fumes arrives a Rome, on permit a Paul de demeurer en son particulier, avec un soldat qui le gardait.
 acts28.17   Au bout de trois jours, Paul convoqua les principaux des Juifs; et, quand ils furent reunis, il leur adressa ces paroles: Hommes freres, sans avoir rien fait contre le peuple ni contre les coutumes de nos peres, j'ai ete mis en prison a Jerusalem et livre de la entre les mains des Romains.
 acts28.18   Apres m'avoir interroge, ils voulaient me relacher, parce qu'il n'y avait en moi rien qui meritat la mort.
 acts28.19   Mais les Juifs s'y opposerent, et j'ai ete force d'en appeler a Cesar, n'ayant du reste aucun dessein d'accuser ma nation.
 acts28.20   Voila pourquoi j'ai demande a vous voir et a vous parler; car c'est a cause de l'esperance d'Israel que je porte cette chaine.
 acts28.21   Ils lui repondirent: Nous n'avons recu de Judee aucune lettre a ton sujet, et il n'est venu aucun frere qui ait rapporte ou dit du mal de toi.
 acts28.22   Mais nous voudrions apprendre de toi ce que tu penses, car nous savons que cette secte rencontre partout de l'opposition.
 acts28.23   Ils lui fixerent un jour, et plusieurs vinrent le trouver dans son logis. Paul leur annonca le royaume de Dieu, en rendant temoignage, et en cherchant, par la loi de Moise et par les prophetes, a les persuader de ce qui concerne Jesus. L'entretien dura depuis le matin jusqu'au soir.
 acts28.24   Les uns furent persuades par ce qu'il disait, et les autres ne crurent point.
 acts28.25   Comme ils se retiraient en desaccord, Paul n'ajouta que ces mots: C'est avec raison que le Saint Esprit, parlant a vos peres par le prophete Esaie, a dit:
 acts28.26   Va vers ce peuple, et dis: Vous entendrez de vos oreilles, et vous ne comprendrez point; Vous regarderez de vos yeux, et vous ne verrez point.
 acts28.27   Car le coeur de ce peuple est devenu insensible; Ils ont endurci leurs oreilles, et ils ont ferme leurs yeux, De peur qu'ils ne voient de leurs yeux, qu'ils n'entendent de leurs oreilles, Qu'ils ne comprennent de leur coeur, Qu'ils ne se convertissent, et que je ne les guerisse.
 acts28.28   Sachez donc que ce salut de Dieu a ete envoye aux paiens, et qu'ils l'ecouteront.
 acts29.29   Lorsqu'il eut dit cela, les Juifs s'en allerent, discutant vivement entre eux.
 acts28.30   Paul demeura deux ans entiers dans une maison qu'il avait louee. Il recevait tous ceux qui venaient le voir,
 acts28.31   prechant le royaume de Dieu et enseignant ce qui concerne le Seigneur Jesus Christ, en toute liberte et sans obstacle.  [end of romanans]
