1 Acts 1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach, 2 Acts 2 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place. 3 Acts 3 Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 4 Acts 4 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them, 5 Acts 5 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira, his wife, sold a possession, 6 Acts 6 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service. 7 Acts 7 The high priest said, "Are these things so?" 8 Acts 8 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles. 9 Acts 9 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, 10 Acts 10 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, 11 Acts 11 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. 12 Acts 12 Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly. 13 Acts 13 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 14 Acts 14 It happened in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed. 15 Acts 15 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can't be saved." 16 Acts 16 He came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed; but his father was a Greek. 17 Acts 17 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 18 Acts 18 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth. 19 Acts 19 It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples. 20 Acts 20 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia. 21 Acts 21 When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara. 22 Acts 22 "Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you." 23 Acts 23 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, "Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day." 24 Acts 24 After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul. 25 Acts 25 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. 26 Acts 26 Agrippa said to Paul, "You may speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense. 27 Acts 27 When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band. 28 Acts 28 When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
