She had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet instead of getting better, she grew worse.

It<n id="1" /> had been revealed<n id="2" /> to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die<n id="3" /> before<n id="4" /> he had seen the Lord&#8217;s Christ.<n id="5" />

<p class="bodytext">So John<n id="1" /> said to the crowds<n id="2" /> that came out to be baptized by him, &#8220;You offspring of vipers!<n id="3" /> Who warned you to flee<n id="4" /> from the coming wrath?

But when John rebuked Herod<n id="1" /> the tetrarch<n id="2" /> because of Herodias, his brother&#8217;s wife,<n id="3" /> and because of all the evil deeds<n id="4" /> that he had done,

where for forty days he endured temptations<n id="1" /> from the devil. He<n id="2" /> ate nothing<n id="3" /> during those days, and when they were completed,<n id="4" /> he was famished.

<p class="bodytext">When<n id="1" /> John&#8217;s messengers had gone, Jesus<n id="2" /> began to speak to the crowds about John: &#8220;What did you go out into the wilderness<n id="3" /> to see? A reed shaken by the wind?<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now Herod<n id="1" /> the tetrarch<n id="2" /> heard about everything that was happening, and he was thoroughly perplexed,<n id="3" /> because some people were saying that John<n id="4" /> had been raised from the dead,

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a hidden place<n id="1" /> or under a basket,<n id="2" /> but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Now<n id="1" /> the poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham&#8217;s side.<n id="2" /> The<n id="3" /> rich man also died and was buried.<n id="4" />

But God raised him up,<n id="1" /> having released<n id="2" /> him from the pains<n id="3" /> of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power.<n id="4" />

A crowd of people from the towns around Jerusalem<n id="1" /> also came together, bringing the sick and those troubled by unclean spirits.<n id="2" /> They<n id="3" /> were all<n id="4" /> being healed.p>

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.

He<n id="1" /> commanded us to preach to the people and to warn<n id="2" /> them<n id="3" /> that he is the one<n id="4" /> appointed<n id="5" /> by God as judge<n id="6" /> of the living and the dead.

So Peter was kept in prison, but those in the church were earnestly<n id="1" /> praying to God for him.<n id="2" />

As they went through the towns,<n id="1" /> they passed on<n id="2" /> the decrees that had been decided on by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem<n id="3" /> for the Gentile believers<n id="4" /> to obey.<n id="5" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">They went through the region of Phrygia<n id="1" /> and Galatia,<n id="2" /> having been prevented<n id="3" /> by the Holy Spirit from speaking the message<n id="4" /> in the province of Asia.<n id="5" />

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?

where he stayed<n id="1" /> for three months. Because the Jews had made<n id="2" /> a plot<n id="3" /> against him as he was intending<n id="4" /> to sail<n id="5" /> for Syria, he decided<n id="6" /> to return through Macedonia.<n id="7" />

Since I could not see because of<n id="1" /> the brilliance<n id="2" /> of that light, I came to Damascus led by the hand of<n id="3" /> those who were with me.

At the same time he was also hoping that Paul would give him money,<n id="1" /> and for this reason he sent for Paul<n id="2" /> as often as possible<n id="3" /> and talked<n id="4" /> with him.
