&#8220;Go and stand in the temple courts<n id="1" /> and proclaim<n id="2" /> to the people all the words of this life.&#8221;

Then they secretly instigated<n id="1" /> some men to say, &#8220;We have heard this man<n id="2" /> speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.&#8221;

who will speak a message<n id="1" /> to you by which you and your entire household will be saved.&#8217;

<p class="bodytext">As Paul and Barnabas<n id="1" /> were going out,<n id="2" /> the people<n id="3" /> were urging<n id="4" /> them to speak about these things<n id="5" /> on the next Sabbath.

The police officers reported these words to the magistrates. They were frightened when they heard Paul and Silas<n id="1" /> were Roman citizens<n id="2" />

But Paul replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I have not lost my mind, most excellent Festus,<n id="2" /> but am speaking<n id="3" /> true and rational<n id="4" /> words.

And we are witnesses of these events,<n id="1" /> and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey<n id="2" /> him.&#8221;p>

They brought forward false witnesses who said, &#8220;This man does not stop saying things against this holy place<n id="1" /> and the law.<n id="2" />

you know what happened throughout Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John announced:<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on<n id="1" /> all those who heard the message.<n id="2" />

And I remembered the word of the Lord,<n id="1" /> as he used to say,<n id="2" /> &#8216;John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.&#8217;<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">But Peter stood up<n id="1" /> with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: &#8220;You men of Judea<n id="2" /> and all you who live in Jerusalem,<n id="3" /> know this<n id="4" /> and listen carefully to what I say.

So they began to leave,<n id="1" /> unable to agree among themselves, after Paul made one last statement: &#8220;The Holy Spirit spoke rightly to your ancestors<n id="2" /> through the prophet Isaiah

They said, &#8220;Cornelius the centurion,<n id="1" /> a righteous<n id="2" /> and God-fearing man, well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation,<n id="3" /> was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear a message<n id="4" /> from you.&#8221;
