But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Hellenists: but they went about to slay him.

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, departed unto Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:

But Elymas the magician (for so is his name translated) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

And said, O full of all deceit and all mischief, you child of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

And when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

Who was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.

And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,

And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel unto them.

And from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.

And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, so that she attended unto the things which were spoken by Paul.

And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain maid possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

And this did she many days. But Paul, being troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that comes in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God wills. And he sailed from Ephesus.

And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,

And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them at Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.

It has pleased them greatly; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in material things.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

But their plot was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

And they were more than forty who had made this conspiracy.

Now therefore you with the council inform the chief captain that he bring him down unto you tomorrow, as though you would inquire something more exactly concerning him: and we, before he comes near, are ready to kill him.

Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he has a certain thing to tell him.

Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is it that you have to tell me?

But do not yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from you.

But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead:

And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates tore off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.

Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;

Moreover you see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, which are made with hands:

And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples allowed him not.

Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the majority knew not why they were come together.

But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

Therefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen who are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them charge one another.

For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause for which we may give an account of this commotion.
