Mark 8

1	In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
2	I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3	And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4	And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5	And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6	And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
7	And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
8	So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
9	And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10	And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11	And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12	And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13	And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14	Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15	And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16	And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17	And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18	Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19	When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20	And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21	And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22	And he cometh to Bethsaida: and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23	And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw aught.
24	And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25	After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26	And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
27	And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
28	And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.
29	And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30	And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31	And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32	And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33	But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savorest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34	And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35	For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36	For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37	Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38	Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Numbers 8

1	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2	Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
3	And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
4	And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
6	Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7	And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
8	Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.
9	And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
10	And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
11	And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
12	And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
13	And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
14	Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
15	And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.
16	For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
17	For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
18	And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
19	And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
20	And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
21	And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
22	And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
23	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
24	This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
25	And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
26	But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.

Galatians 2

1	Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2	And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3	But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4	And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5	To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6	But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person: ) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7	But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
8	(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles: )
9	And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
10	Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
11	But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12	For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13	And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14	But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15	We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16	Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17	But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18	For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19	For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20	I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21	I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Revelation 17

1	And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2	With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3	So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4	And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5	And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6	And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7	And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8	The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9	And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10	And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11	And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12	And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13	These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14	These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15	And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16	And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17	For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18	And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Job 1

1	There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
2	And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
3	His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
4	And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5	And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6	Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
7	And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8	And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9	Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught?
10	Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11	But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
12	And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
13	And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
14	And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15	And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
16	While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
17	While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
18	While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
19	And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20	Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshiped,
21	And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
22	In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Psalms 125

1	A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.
2	As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even forever.
3	For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4	Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5	As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

Proverbs 1

1	The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2	To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3	To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4	To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5	A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6	To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7	The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8	My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9	For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10	My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11	If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12	Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13	We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14	Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15	My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16	For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17	Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18	And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19	So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20	Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21	She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22	How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23	Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24	Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25	But ye have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26	I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27	When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28	Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29	For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30	They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31	Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32	For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33	But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

1 Kings 21

1	And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2	And Ahab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
3	And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
4	And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5	But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
6	And he said unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
7	And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8	So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
9	And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
10	And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
11	And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12	They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13	And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14	Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15	And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16	And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17	And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18	Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
19	And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
20	And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
21	Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
22	And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23	And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24	Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25	But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26	And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
27	And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28	And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29	Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.

Ezekiel 2

1	And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
2	And the spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke unto me.
3	And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
4	For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
5	And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6	And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
7	And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8	But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
9	And when I looked, behold, a hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
10	And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

Acts 13

1	Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2	As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3	And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4	So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5	And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
6	And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
7	Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8	But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9	Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
10	And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11	And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12	Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
13	Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14	But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
15	And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
16	Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
17	The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought he them out of it.
18	And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19	And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
20	And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
