So they spent<n id="1" /> considerable<n id="2" /> time with the disciples.p>

All these continued together in prayer with one mind, together with the women, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.<n id="1" />

But the population<n id="1" /> of the city was divided; some<n id="2" /> sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

Peter looked directly<n id="1" /> at him (as did John) and said, &#8220;Look at us!&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now a man named Ananias, together with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property.

<p class="bodytext">When<n id="1" /> he had said these things, he knelt down<n id="2" /> with them all and prayed.

The next day they let<n id="1" /> the horsemen<n id="2" /> go on with him, and they returned to the barracks.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided<n id="1" /> to send men chosen from among them, Judas called Barsabbas and Silas,<n id="2" /> leaders among the brothers, to Antioch<n id="3" /> with Paul and Barnabas.

And because they saw the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against this.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now the high priest rose up, and all those with him (that is, the religious party of the Sadducees<n id="1" />),<n id="2" /> and they were filled with jealousy.<n id="3" />

But get up,<n id="1" /> go down, and accompany them without hesitation,<n id="2" /> because I have sent them.&#8221;

When both the Gentiles and the Jews (together with their rulers) made<n id="1" /> an attempt to mistreat<n id="2" /> them and stone them,<n id="3" />

we have unanimously<n id="1" /> decided<n id="2" /> to choose men to send to you along with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul,

Then<n id="1" /> they spoke the word of the Lord<n id="2" /> to him, along with all those who were in his house.

The next day Paul went in with us to see James, and all the elders were there.<n id="1" />

When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live<n id="1" /> by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.p>

beginning from his baptism by John until the day he<n id="1" /> was taken up from us &#8211; one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.&#8221;

He<n id="1" /> jumped up,<n id="2" /> stood and began walking around, and he entered the temple courts<n id="3" /> with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

Then the commander<n id="1" /> of the temple guard<n id="2" /> went with the officers<n id="3" /> and brought the apostles<n id="4" /> without the use of force<n id="5" /> (for they were afraid of being stoned by the people).<n id="6" />p>

But Peter said to him, &#8220;May your silver perish with you,<n id="1" /> because you thought you could acquire<n id="2" /> God&#8217;s gift with money!
