Then those who were about to interrogate him stayed away<n id="1" /> from him, and the commanding officer<n id="2" /> was frightened when he realized that Paul<n id="3" /> was<n id="4" /> a Roman citizen<n id="5" /> and that he had had him tied up.<n id="6" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Then when Paul noticed<n id="1" /> that part of them were Sadducees<n id="2" /> and the others Pharisees,<n id="3" /> he shouted out in the council,<n id="4" /> &#8220;Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am on trial concerning the hope of the resurrection<n id="5" /> of the dead!&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then they returned to Jerusalem<n id="1" /> from the mountain<n id="2" /> called the Mount of Olives<n id="3" /> (which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day&#8217;s journey<n id="4" /> away).

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

<p class="bodytext">Now there were devout Jews<n id="1" /> from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem.<n id="2" />

Completely baffled, they said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Aren&#8217;t<n id="2" /> all these who are speaking Galileans?

All were astounded and greatly confused, saying to one another, &#8220;What does this mean?&#8221;

In spite of what you think, these men are not drunk,<n id="1" /> for it is only nine o&#8217;clock in the morning.<n id="2" />

<b><i>Every personi>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>who does not obey that prophet will be destroyed and thus removedi>b><n id="2" /> <b><i>from the peoplei>b>.&#8217;<n id="3" />

So<n id="1" /> they seized<n id="2" /> them and put them in jail<n id="3" /> until the next day (for it was already evening).

Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and others who were members of the high priest&#8217;s family.<n id="1" />

This Jesus<n id="1" /> is <b><i>the stone that was rejected byi>b> you,<n id="2" /> <b><i>the builders, that has become the cornerstonei>b>.<n id="3" />

For the man, on whom this miraculous sign<n id="1" /> of healing had been performed,<n id="2" /> was over forty years old.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now the high priest rose up, and all those with him (that is, the religious party of the Sadducees<n id="1" />),<n id="2" /> and they were filled with jealousy.<n id="3" />

but if<n id="1" /> it is from God, you will not be able to stop them, or you may even be found<n id="2" /> fighting against God.&#8221; He convinced them,<n id="3" />

The<n id="1" /> patriarchs, because they were jealous of Joseph, sold<n id="2" /> him into Egypt. But<n id="3" /> God was with him,

So Moses was trained<n id="1" /> in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful<n id="2" /> in his words and deeds.

(For the Spirit<n id="1" /> had not yet come upon<n id="2" /> any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)<n id="3" />

and was returning home, sitting<n id="1" /> in his chariot, reading<n id="2" /> the prophet Isaiah.

and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues,<n id="1" /> saying, &#8220;This man is the Son of God.&#8221;<n id="2" />
