Professor Horner’s Reading Plan

Read through the Bible in one year by reading 10 chapters a day from 10 different sections of the Bible using the Professor Grant Horner Bible reading plan.

Today, we are reading Mark 16; Numbers 16; Ephesians 4; 1 Thessalonians3; Job 9; Psalms 133; Proverbs 9; 2 Kings 7; Ezekiel 10; Acts 21.

Mark 16

1	And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2	And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun.
3	And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher?
4	And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
5	And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
6	And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
7	But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
8	And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulcher; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
9	Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
10	And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11	And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
12	After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
13	And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
14	Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15	And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16	He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17	And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18	They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19	So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20	And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Numbers 16

1	Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
2	And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:
3	And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
4	And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
5	And he spoke unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even tomorrow the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
6	This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
7	And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
8	And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
9	Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
10	And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
11	For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
12	And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
13	Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?
14	Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
15	And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
16	And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
17	And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
18	And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.
19	And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
20	And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21	Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
22	And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
23	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
24	Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25	And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
26	And he spoke unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
27	So they got up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
28	And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
29	If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.
30	But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
31	And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground cleaved asunder that was under them:
32	And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
33	They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
34	And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
35	And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
36	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
37	Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.
38	The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
39	And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:
40	To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.
41	But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.
42	And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
43	And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
44	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
45	Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
46	And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
47	And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
48	And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49	Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
50	And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.

Ephesians 4

1	I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2	With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3	Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4	There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5	One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6	One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7	But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8	Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9	(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10	He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11	And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12	For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13	Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
14	That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15	But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16	From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
17	This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18	Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19	Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20	But ye have not so learned Christ;
21	If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22	That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23	And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24	And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25	Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
26	Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27	Neither give place to the devil.
28	Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29	Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30	And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31	Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32	And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Job 9

1	Then Job answered and said,
2	I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
3	If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4	He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
5	Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
6	Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7	Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
8	Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
9	Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
10	Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
11	Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
12	Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
13	If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
14	How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
15	Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
16	If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
17	For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
18	He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
19	If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
20	If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
21	Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
22	This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23	If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24	The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
25	Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
26	They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
27	If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
28	I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29	If I be wicked, why then labor I in vain?
30	If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
31	Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
32	For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
33	Neither is there any daysman between us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
34	Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
35	Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.

Psalms 133

1	A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2	It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3	As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life forevermore.

Proverbs 9

1	Wisdom hath built her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2	She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3	She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4	Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5	Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6	Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7	He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8	Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9	Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10	The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11	For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12	If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
13	A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14	For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15	To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16	Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17	Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18	But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

2 Kings 7

1	Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, Tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2	Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
3	And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
4	If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5	And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
6	For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7	Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8	And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.
9	Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.
10	So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
11	And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within.
12	And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
13	And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed: ) and let us send and see.
14	They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15	And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
16	And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
17	And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
18	And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
19	And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
20	And so it fell out unto him: for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died.

Ezekiel 10

1	Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2	And he spoke unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
3	Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4	Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD's glory.
5	And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
6	And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
7	And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
8	And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9	And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the color of a beryl stone.
10	And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
11	When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
12	And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
13	As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
14	And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15	And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
16	And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
17	When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18	Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
19	And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20	This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
21	Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22	And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.

Acts 21

1	And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2	And finding a ship sailing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3	Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4	And finding disciples we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5	And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6	And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
7	And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8	And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
9	And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10	And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11	And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12	And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13	Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14	And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15	And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16	There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17	And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18	And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19	And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20	And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21	And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22	What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23	Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24	Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25	As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
26	Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27	And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28	Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
29	(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
