ye do always the Holy Spirit resist; as your fathers—also ye;Acts 7:52which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom now ye betrayers and murderers have become,Acts 7:53who received the law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep it.’Acts 7:54And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and did gnash the teeth at him;Acts 7:55and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked stedfastly to the heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,Acts 7:56and he said, ‘Lo, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.’Acts 16:16And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying,Acts 16:17she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, ‘These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us a way of salvation;’Acts 16:18and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, ‘I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;’ and it came forth the same hour.Acts 16:19And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew them to the market-place, unto the rulers,Acts 16:20and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, ‘These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews;Acts 16:21and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.’Acts 16:22And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat them with rods,Acts 16:23many blows also having laid upon them, they cast them to prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,Acts 16:24who such a charge having received, did put them to the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks.Acts 16:25And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,Acts 16:26and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, opened also presently were all the doors, and of all—the bands were loosed;Acts 16:27and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to be fled,Acts 16:28and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Thou mayest not do thyself any harm, for we are all here.’Acts 16:29And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,Acts 16:30and having brought them forth, said, ‘Sirs, what must I do—that I may be saved?’Acts 16:31and they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved—thou and thy house;’Acts 16:32and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household;Acts 16:33and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe them from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,Acts 16:34having brought them also into his house, he set food before them, and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.Acts 16:35And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, ‘Let those men go;’Acts 16:36and the jailor told these words unto Paul—‘The magistrates have sent, that ye may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace;’Acts 16:37and Paul said to them, ‘Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, Romans being—they did cast us to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.’Acts 16:38And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,Acts 16:39and having come, they besought them, and having brought them forth, they were asking them to go forth from the city;Acts 16:40and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into the house of Lydia, and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.Acts 17:22And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, ‘Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;Acts 17:23for passing through and contemplating your objects of worship, I found also an erection on which had been inscribed: To God—unknown; whom, therefore—not knowing—ye do worship, this One I announce to you.Acts 17:24‘God, who did make the world, and all things in it, this One, of heaven and of earth being Lord, in temples made with hands doth not dwell,Acts 17:25neither by the hands of men is He served—needing anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things;Acts 17:26He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth—having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings—Acts 17:27to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and find,—though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,Acts 17:28for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring.Acts 17:29‘Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, graving of art and device of man;Acts 17:30the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform,Acts 17:31because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.’Acts 24:1And after five days came down the chief priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator—Tertullus, and they made manifest to the governor the things against Paul;Acts 24:2and he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, ‘Much peace enjoying through thee, and worthy deeds being done to this nation through thy forethought,Acts 24:3always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness;Acts 24:4and that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee to hear us concisely in thy gentleness;Acts 24:5for having found this man a pestilence, and moving a dissension to all the Jews through the world—a ringleader also of the sect of the Nazarenes—Acts 24:6who also the temple did try to profane, whom also we took, and according to our law did wish to judge,Acts 24:7and Lysias the chief captain having come near, with much violence, out of our hands did take away,Acts 24:8having commanded his accusers to come to thee, from whom thou mayest be able, thyself having examined, to know concerning all these things of which we accuse him;’Acts 24:9and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.Acts 24:10And Paul answered—the governor having beckoned to him to speak—‘Knowing that for many years thou hast been a judge to this nation, the more cheerfully the things concerning myself I do answer;Acts 24:11thou being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,Acts 24:12and neither in the temple did they find me reasoning with any one, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;Acts 24:13nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.Acts 24:14‘And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written,
