But I said, &#8216;Certainly not, Lord, for nothing defiled or ritually unclean<n id="1" /> has ever entered my mouth!&#8217;

At that<n id="1" /> the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near<n id="2" /> Paul<n id="3" /> to strike<n id="4" /> him on the mouth.

<p class="bodytext">Then Peter started speaking:<n id="1" /> &#8220;I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism in dealing with people,<n id="2" />

So Philip started speaking,<n id="1" /> and beginning with this scripture<n id="2" /> proclaimed the good news about Jesus to him.

Now the passage of scripture the man<n id="1" /> was reading was this:p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8220;<b><i>He was led like a sheep to slaughter,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>so he didi>b><n id="2" /> <i><b>not open his mouthb>.i>p>

But just as Paul was about to speak,<n id="1" /> Gallio said to the Jews, &#8220;If it were a matter of some crime or serious piece of villainy,<n id="2" /> I would have been justified in accepting the complaint<n id="3" /> of you Jews,<n id="4" />
