The doorkeeper<n id="1" /> opens the door<n id="2" /> for him,<n id="3" /> and the sheep hear his voice. He<n id="4" /> calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.<n id="5" />

So they took away<n id="1" /> the stone. Jesus looked upward<n id="2" /> and said, &#8220;Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.<n id="3" />

I knew that you always listen to me,<n id="1" /> but I said this<n id="2" /> for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.&#8221;

The crowd that stood there and heard the voice<n id="1" /> said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to him.<n id="2" />

Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said.<n id="1" /> They<n id="2" /> know what I said.&#8221;

When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat<n id="1" /> in the place called &#8220;The Stone Pavement&#8221;<n id="2" /> (<i>Gabbathai> in<n id="3" /> Aramaic).<n id="4" />

While he was with them,<n id="1" /> he declared,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Do not leave Jerusalem,<n id="3" /> but wait there<n id="4" /> for what my<n id="5" /> Father promised,<n id="6" /> which you heard about from me.<n id="7" />

When this sound<n id="1" /> occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion,<n id="2" /> because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now when they heard this,<n id="1" /> they were acutely distressed<n id="2" /> and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, &#8220;What should we do, brothers?&#8221;

But Peter and John replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Whether it is right before God to obey<n id="2" /> you rather than God, you decide,

Now when the commander<n id="1" /> of the temple guard<n id="2" /> and the chief priests heard this report,<n id="3" /> they were greatly puzzled concerning it,<n id="4" /> wondering what this could<n id="5" /> be.

The crowds were paying attention with one mind to what Philip said,<n id="1" /> as they heard and saw the miraculous signs<n id="2" /> he was performing.

<p class="bodytext">Now when the apostles in Jerusalem<n id="1" /> heard that Samaria had accepted the word<n id="2" /> of God, they sent<n id="3" /> Peter and John to them.

So Philip ran up<n id="1" /> to it<n id="2" /> and heard the man<n id="3" /> reading Isaiah the prophet. He<n id="4" /> asked him,<n id="5" /> &#8220;Do you understand what you&#8217;re reading?&#8221;

But Ananias replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Lord, I have heard from many people<n id="2" /> about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,

<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" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles too had accepted<n id="1" /> the word of God.<n id="2" />

When they heard this,<n id="1" /> they ceased their objections<n id="2" /> and praised<n id="3" /> God, saying, &#8220;So then, God has granted the repentance<n id="4" /> that leads to life even to the Gentiles.&#8221;<n id="5" />p>

A report<n id="1" /> about them came to the attention<n id="2" /> of the church in Jerusalem,<n id="3" /> and they sent Barnabas<n id="4" /> to Antioch.<n id="5" />

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.
