Peter<n id="1" /> went out<n id="2" /> and followed him;<n id="3" /> he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real,<n id="4" /> but thought he was seeing a vision.

And we proclaim to you the good news about the promise to our ancestors,<n id="1" />

This man was listening to Paul as he was speaking. When Paul<n id="1" /> stared<n id="2" /> intently at him and saw he had faith to be healed,

They strengthened<n id="1" /> the souls of the disciples and encouraged them to continue<n id="2" /> in the faith, saying, &#8220;We must enter the kingdom<n id="3" /> of God through many persecutions.&#8221;<n id="4" />

When they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported<n id="1" /> all the things God<n id="2" /> had done with them, and that he had opened a door<n id="3" /> of faith for the Gentiles.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now some men came down from Judea<n id="1" /> and began to teach the brothers, &#8220;Unless you are circumcised<n id="2" /> according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.&#8221;

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>

Since we have heard that some have gone out from among us with no orders from us and have confused<n id="1" /> you, upsetting<n id="2" /> your minds<n id="3" /> by what they said,<n id="4" />

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>

The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying,<n id="1" /> &#8220;The magistrates have sent orders<n id="2" /> to release you. So come out now and go in peace.&#8221;<n id="3" />

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,

He gathered<n id="1" /> these<n id="2" /> together, along with the workmen in similar trades,<n id="3" /> and said, &#8220;Men, you know that our prosperity<n id="4" /> comes from this business.

But when they recognized<n id="1" /> that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Great is Artemis<n id="3" /> of the Ephesians!&#8221; for about two hours.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;And now<n id="1" /> I know that none<n id="2" /> of you among whom I went around proclaiming the kingdom<n id="3" /> will see me<n id="4" /> again.

especially saddened<n id="1" /> by what<n id="2" /> he had said, that they were not going to see him<n id="3" /> again. Then they accompanied<n id="4" /> him to the ship.p>

(For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him previously, and<n id="1" /> they assumed Paul had brought him into the inner temple courts.)<n id="2" />

I replied,<n id="1" /> &#8216;Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat those in the various synagogues<n id="2" /> who believed in you.

This man was seized<n id="1" /> by the Jews and they were about to kill him,<n id="2" /> when I came up<n id="3" /> with the detachment<n id="4" /> and rescued him, because I had learned that he was<n id="5" /> a Roman citizen.<n id="6" />

As you can verify<n id="1" /> for yourself, not more than twelve days ago<n id="2" /> I went up to Jerusalem<n id="3" /> to worship.

other than<n id="1" /> this one thing<n id="2" /> I shouted out while I stood before<n id="3" /> them: &#8216;I am on trial before you today concerning the resurrection of the dead.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="4" />p>
