Barnabas wanted to bring John called Mark along with them too,

saying, &#8220;This man is persuading<n id="1" /> people to worship God in a way contrary to<n id="2" /> the law!&#8221;

and provide mounts for Paul to ride<n id="1" /> so that he may be brought safely to Felix<n id="2" /> the governor.&#8221;<n id="3" />

to assume the task<n id="1" /> of this service<n id="2" /> and apostleship from which Judas turned aside<n id="3" /> to go to his own place.&#8221;<n id="4" />

so that times of refreshing<n id="1" /> may come from the presence of the Lord,<n id="2" /> and so that he may send the Messiah<n id="3" /> appointed<n id="4" /> for you &#8211; that is, Jesus.

He had James, the brother of John, executed with a sword.<n id="1" />

He wrote<n id="1" /> a letter that went like this:<n id="2" />p>

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

All<n id="1" /> those who lived in Lydda<n id="2" /> and Sharon<n id="3" /> saw him, and they<n id="4" /> turned<n id="5" /> to the Lord.p>

They began to call<n id="1" /> Barnabas Zeus<n id="2" /> and Paul Hermes,<n id="3" /> because he was the chief speaker.

They had<n id="1" /> a sharp disagreement,<n id="2" /> so that they parted company. Barnabas took along<n id="3" /> Mark and sailed away to Cyprus,<n id="4" />

and said, &#8220;Men of Galilee, why do you stand here<n id="1" /> looking up into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven<n id="2" /> will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven.&#8221;p>

Those who accompanied Paul escorted him as far as Athens,<n id="1" /> and after receiving an order for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they left.<n id="2" />p>

praising God and having the good will<n id="1" /> of all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number every day<n id="2" /> those who were being saved.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">While the man<n id="1" /> was hanging on to Peter and John, all the people, completely astounded, ran together to them in the covered walkway<n id="2" /> called Solomon&#8217;s Portico.<n id="3" />

So now why are you putting God to the test<n id="1" /> by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke<n id="2" /> that neither our ancestors<n id="3" /> nor we have been able to bear?

<t /><p class="bodytext">The brothers sent Paul and Silas off to Berea<n id="1" /> at once, during the night. When they arrived,<n id="2" /> they went to the Jewish synagogue.<n id="3" />

But the evil spirit replied to them,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I know about Jesus<n id="2" /> and I am acquainted with<n id="3" /> Paul, but who are you?&#8221;<n id="4" />

He<n id="1" /> immediately took<n id="2" /> soldiers and centurions<n id="3" /> and ran down to the crowd.<n id="4" /> When they saw<n id="5" /> the commanding officer<n id="6" /> and the soldiers, they stopped beating<n id="7" /> Paul.

Paul called<n id="1" /> one of the centurions<n id="2" /> and said, &#8220;Take this young man to the commanding officer,<n id="3" /> for he has something to report to him.&#8221;
