As he approached the road leading down from<n id="1" /> the Mount of Olives,<n id="2" /> the whole crowd of his<n id="3" /> disciples began to rejoice<n id="4" /> and praise<n id="5" /> God with a loud voice for all the mighty works<n id="6" /> they had seen:<n id="7" />

<p class="bodytext">The whole group kept quiet<n id="1" /> and listened to Barnabas and Paul while they explained all the miraculous signs<n id="2" /> and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them.

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.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> he came down with them and stood on a level place.<n id="2" /> And a large number<n id="3" /> of his disciples had gathered<n id="4" /> along with<n id="5" /> a vast multitude from all over Judea, from<n id="6" /> Jerusalem,<n id="7" /> and from the seacoast of Tyre<n id="8" /> and Sidon.<n id="9" /> They came to hear him and to be healed<n id="10" /> of their diseases,

Then Festus<n id="1" /> said, &#8220;King Agrippa,<n id="2" /> and all you who are present here with us, you see this man about whom the entire Jewish populace<n id="3" /> petitioned<n id="4" /> me both in Jerusalem<n id="5" /> and here,<n id="6" /> shouting loudly<n id="7" /> that he ought not to live any longer.
