There<n id="1" /> they continued to proclaim<n id="2" /> the good news.p>

(Now there were about twelve men in all.)<n id="1" />p>

(He had four unmarried<n id="1" /> daughters who prophesied.)<n id="2" />p>

(Now seven sons of a man named<n id="1" /> Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were doing this.)<n id="2" />

(Now there were many lamps<n id="1" /> in the upstairs room where we were meeting.)<n id="2" />

There were more than forty of them who formed this conspiracy.<n id="1" />

<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" />

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" />

and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked with them<n id="1" /> (for they were tentmakers<n id="2" /> by trade).<n id="3" />

As<n id="1" /> they were still staring into the sky while he was going, suddenly<n id="2" /> two men in white clothing stood near them

All these continued together in prayer with one mind, together with the women, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.<n id="1" />

Suddenly<n id="1" /> a sound<n id="2" /> like a violent wind blowing<n id="3" /> came from heaven<n id="4" /> and filled the entire house where they were sitting.

<t /><p class="bodytext">They were devoting themselves to the apostles&#8217; teaching and to fellowship,<n id="1" /> to the breaking of bread and to prayer.<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now many miraculous signs<n id="1" /> and wonders came about among the people through the hands of the apostles. By<n id="2" /> common consent<n id="3" /> they were all meeting together in Solomon&#8217;s Portico.<n id="4" />

But there were some men from Cyprus<n id="1" /> and Cyrene<n id="2" /> among them who came<n id="3" /> to Antioch<n id="4" /> and began to speak to the Greeks<n id="5" /> too, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Jesus.

When he saw that this pleased the Jews,<n id="1" /> he proceeded to arrest Peter too. (This took place during the feast of Unleavened Bread.)<n id="2" />

<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.

When the Gentiles heard this, they began to rejoice<n id="1" /> and praise<n id="2" /> the word of the Lord, and all who had been appointed for eternal life<n id="3" /> believed.

But the population<n id="1" /> of the city was divided; some<n id="2" /> sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
