saying, &#8220;We gave<n id="1" /> you strict orders<n id="2" /> not to teach in this name.<n id="3" /> Look,<n id="4" /> you have filled Jerusalem<n id="5" /> with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man&#8217;s blood<n id="6" /> on us!&#8221;

So in this case I say to you, stay away from these men and leave them alone, because if this plan or this undertaking originates with people,<n id="1" /> it will come to nothing,<n id="2" />

This is the man who was in the congregation<n id="1" /> in the wilderness<n id="2" /> with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors,<n id="3" /> and he<n id="4" /> received living oracles<n id="5" /> to give to you.<n id="6" />

After the reading from the law and the prophets,<n id="1" /> the leaders of the synagogue<n id="2" /> sent them a message,<n id="3" /> saying, &#8220;Brothers,<n id="4" /> if you have any message<n id="5" /> of exhortation<n id="6" /> for the people, speak it.&#8221;<n id="7" />

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" />

explaining and demonstrating<n id="1" /> that the Christ<n id="2" /> had to suffer and to rise from the dead,<n id="3" /> saying,<n id="4" /> &#8220;This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ.&#8221;<n id="5" />

For as I went around and observed closely your objects of worship,<n id="1" /> I even found an altar with this inscription:<n id="2" /> &#8216;To an unknown god.&#8217; Therefore what you worship without knowing it,<n id="3" /> this I proclaim to you.

Both Paul and Barnabas replied courageously,<n id="1" /> &#8220;It was necessary to speak the word of God<n id="2" /> to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy<n id="3" /> of eternal life, we<n id="4" /> are turning to the Gentiles.<n id="5" />

We are proclaiming the good news to you, so that you should turn<n id="2" /> from these worthless<n id="3" /> things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth,<n id="4" /> the sea, and everything that is in them.
