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,

Calling for lights, the jailer<n id="1" /> rushed in and fell down<n id="2" /> trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.

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

who was with the proconsul<n id="1" /> Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. The proconsul<n id="2" /> summoned<n id="3" /> Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear<n id="4" /> the word of God.

Paul went to the Jews in the synagogue,<n id="1" /> as he customarily did, and on three Sabbath days he addressed<n id="2" /> them from the scriptures,

The Lord said to Paul by a vision<n id="1" /> in the night,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Do not be afraid,<n id="3" /> but speak and do not be silent,

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now while Gallio<n id="1" /> was proconsul<n id="2" /> of Achaia,<n id="3" /> the Jews attacked Paul together<n id="4" /> and brought him before the judgment seat,<n id="5" />

After we located<n id="1" /> the disciples, we stayed there<n id="2" /> seven days. They repeatedly told<n id="3" /> Paul through the Spirit<n id="4" /> not to set foot<n id="5" /> in Jerusalem.<n id="6" />

<p class="bodytext">But when the son of Paul&#8217;s sister heard about the ambush,<n id="1" /> he came and entered<n id="2" /> the barracks<n id="3" /> and told Paul.

The next day we put in<n id="1" /> at Sidon,<n id="2" /> and Julius, treating Paul kindly,<n id="3" /> allowed him to go to his friends so they could provide him with what he needed.<n id="4" />

When the meeting of the synagogue<n id="1" /> had broken up,<n id="2" /> many of the Jews and God-fearing proselytes<n id="3" /> followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking with them and were persuading<n id="4" /> them<n id="5" /> to continue<n id="6" /> in the grace of God.p>

When Paul and Barnabas had a major argument and debate<n id="1" /> with them, the church<n id="2" /> appointed Paul and Barnabas and some others from among them to go up to meet with<n id="3" /> the apostles and elders in Jerusalem<n id="4" /> about this point of disagreement.<n id="5" />

<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.

A<n id="1" /> vision appeared to Paul during the night: A Macedonian man was standing there<n id="2" /> urging him,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Come over<n id="4" /> to Macedonia<n id="5" /> and help us!&#8221;

She followed behind Paul and us and kept crying out,<n id="1" /> &#8220;These men are servants<n id="2" /> of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way<n id="3" /> of salvation.&#8221;<n id="4" />

Some of them were persuaded<n id="1" /> and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large group<n id="2" /> of God-fearing Greeks<n id="3" /> and quite a few<n id="4" /> prominent women.

But Festus,<n id="1" /> wanting to do the Jews a favor, asked Paul, &#8220;Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be tried<n id="2" /> before me there on these charges?&#8221;<n id="3" />
