Now as they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, &#8220;Look, there is water! What is to stop me<n id="1" /> from being baptized?&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">About noon<n id="1" /> the next day, while they were on their way and approaching<n id="2" /> the city, Peter went up on the roof<n id="3" /> to pray.

He<n id="1" /> saw heaven<n id="2" /> opened<n id="3" /> and an object something like a large sheet<n id="4" /> descending,<n id="5" /> being let down to earth<n id="6" /> by its four corners.

So when<n id="1" /> Peter came in, Cornelius met<n id="2" /> him, fell<n id="3" /> at his feet, and worshiped<n id="4" /> him.

We<n id="1" /> are witnesses of all the things he did both in Judea<n id="2" /> and in Jerusalem.<n id="3" /> They<n id="4" /> killed him by hanging him on a tree,<n id="5" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on<n id="1" /> all those who heard the message.<n id="2" />

The<n id="1" /> circumcised believers<n id="2" /> who had accompanied Peter were greatly astonished<n id="3" /> that<n id="4" /> the gift of the Holy Spirit<n id="5" /> had been poured out<n id="6" /> even on the Gentiles,

At that very moment,<n id="1" /> three men sent to me from Caesarea<n id="2" /> approached<n id="3" /> the house where we were staying.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">When Peter<n id="1" /> realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark,<n id="2" /> where many people had gathered together and were praying.

and<n id="1" /> for many days he appeared to those who had accompanied<n id="2" /> him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These<n id="3" /> are now his witnesses to the people.

The priest of the temple<n id="1" /> of Zeus,<n id="2" /> located just outside the city, brought bulls<n id="3" /> and garlands<n id="4" /> to the city gates; he and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifices to them.<n id="5" />

So now why are you putting God to the test<n id="1" /> by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke<n id="2" /> that neither our ancestors<n id="3" /> nor we have been able to bear?

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,

Then the brothers sent Paul away to the coast<n id="1" /> at once, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.<n id="2" />

So they took Paul and<n id="1" /> brought him to the Areopagus,<n id="2" /> saying, &#8220;May we know what this new teaching is that you are proclaiming?

From one man<n id="1" /> he made every nation of the human race<n id="2" /> to inhabit the entire earth,<n id="3" /> determining their set times<n id="4" /> and the fixed limits of the places where they would live,<n id="5" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now while Gallio<n id="1" /> was proconsul<n id="2" /> of Achaia,<n id="3" /> the Jews attacked Paul together<n id="4" /> and brought him before the judgment seat,<n id="5" />

and when Paul placed<n id="1" /> his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came<n id="2" /> upon them, and they began to speak<n id="3" /> in tongues and to prophesy.<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">So Paul<n id="1" /> entered<n id="2" /> the synagogue<n id="3" /> and spoke out fearlessly<n id="4" /> for three months, addressing<n id="5" /> and convincing<n id="6" /> them about the kingdom of God.<n id="7" />
