With<n id="1" /> great power the apostles were giving testimony<n id="2" /> to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all.

Then the commander<n id="1" /> of the temple guard<n id="2" /> went with the officers<n id="3" /> and brought the apostles<n id="4" /> without the use of force<n id="5" /> (for they were afraid of being stoned by the people).<n id="6" />p>

The next day Moses<n id="1" /> saw two men<n id="2" /> fighting, and tried to make peace between<n id="3" /> them, saying, &#8216;Men, you are brothers; why are you hurting one another?&#8217;

This man led them out, performing wonders and miraculous signs<n id="1" /> in the land of Egypt,<n id="2" /> at<n id="3" /> the Red Sea, and in the wilderness<n id="4" /> for forty years.

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 Peter<n id="1" /> invited them in and entertained them as guests.p> <p class="bodytext">On the next day he got up and set out<n id="2" /> with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa<n id="3" /> accompanied him.

The following day<n id="1" /> he entered Caesarea.<n id="2" /> Now Cornelius was waiting anxiously<n id="3" /> for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

Then as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on<n id="1" /> them just as he did<n id="2" /> on us at the beginning.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">The same thing happened in Iconium<n id="1" /> when Paul and Barnabas<n id="2" /> went into the Jewish synagogue<n id="3" /> and spoke in such a way that a large group<n id="4" /> of both Jews and Greeks believed.

But some from the religious party of the Pharisees<n id="1" /> who had believed stood up and said, &#8220;It is necessary<n id="2" /> to circumcise the Gentiles<n id="3" /> and to order them to observe<n id="4" /> the law of Moses.&#8221;p>

When they came to<n id="1" /> Mysia,<n id="2" /> they attempted to go into Bithynia,<n id="3" /> but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow<n id="4" /> them to do this,<n id="5" />

After Paul<n id="1" /> saw the vision, we attempted<n id="2" /> immediately to go over to Macedonia,<n id="3" /> concluding that God had called<n id="4" /> us to proclaim the good news to them.p>

When<n id="1" /> they had brought them<n id="2" /> before the magistrates, they said, &#8220;These men are throwing our city into confusion.<n id="3" /> They are<n id="4" /> Jews

Receiving such orders, he threw them in the inner cell<n id="1" /> and fastened their feet in the stocks.<n id="2" />p>

At<n id="1" /> that hour of the night he took them<n id="2" /> and washed their wounds;<n id="3" /> then<n id="4" /> he and all his family<n id="5" /> were baptized right away.<n id="6" />

Paul went to the Jews in the synagogue,<n id="1" /> as he customarily did, and on three Sabbath days he addressed<n id="2" /> them from the scriptures,

When they did not find them, they dragged<n id="1" /> Jason and some of the brothers before the city officials,<n id="2" /> screaming, &#8220;These people who have stirred up trouble<n id="3" /> throughout the world<n id="4" /> have come here too,

<t /><p class="bodytext">While Paul was waiting for them in Athens,<n id="1" /> his spirit was greatly upset<n id="2" /> because he saw<n id="3" /> the city was full of idols.

and said to them, &#8220;Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?&#8221;<n id="1" /> They replied,<n id="2" /> &#8220;No, we have not even<n id="3" /> heard that there is a Holy Spirit.&#8221;
