Mark 4

1	And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
2	And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
3	Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4	And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5	And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6	But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7	And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8	And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred.
9	And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10	And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
11	And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
12	That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
13	And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
14	The sower soweth the word.
15	And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16	And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17	And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
18	And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19	And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20	And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.
21	And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22	For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23	If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24	And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25	For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
26	And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27	And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28	For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29	But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30	And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31	It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
32	But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
33	And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
34	But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
35	And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36	And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37	And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38	And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39	And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40	And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41	And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Genesis 23

1	And Sarah was a hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
2	And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3	And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke unto the sons of Heth, saying,
4	I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a burial place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
5	And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
6	Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchers bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulcher, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
7	And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
8	And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
9	That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a burial place amongst you.
10	And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
11	Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
12	And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
13	And he spoke unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
14	And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
15	My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that between me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
16	And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
17	And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
18	Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
19	And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
20	And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a burial place by the sons of Heth.

Ephesians 3

1	For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2	If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3	How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4	Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5	Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6	That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7	Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8	Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9	And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10	To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11	According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12	In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13	Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14	For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15	Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16	That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17	That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18	May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19	And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.
20	Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21	Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

2 Timothy 1

1	Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2	To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3	I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
4	Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5	When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
6	Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7	For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8	Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9	Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10	But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11	Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12	For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
13	Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14	That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
15	This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16	The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
17	But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18	The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

Job 24

1	Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
2	Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
3	They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4	They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5	Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising quickly for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6	They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7	They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8	They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9	They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10	They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11	Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12	Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
13	They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14	The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
15	The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
16	In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
17	For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18	He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
19	Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
20	The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
21	He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22	He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23	Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
24	They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25	And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

Psalms 60

1	To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2	Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3	Thou hast showed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4	Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5	That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6	God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7	Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8	Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9	Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10	Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
11	Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12	Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Proverbs 24

1	Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2	For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
3	Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established:
4	And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5	A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
6	For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counselors there is safety.
7	Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8	He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
9	The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
10	If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
11	If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
12	If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
13	My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
14	So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
15	Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
16	For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17	Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18	Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19	Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
20	For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
21	My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
22	For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
23	These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24	He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
25	But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
26	Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
27	Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
28	Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
29	Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
30	I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31	And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32	Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
33	Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34	So shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth; and thy want as an armed man.

2 Chronicles 30

1	And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
2	For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
3	For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4	And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
5	So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
6	So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7	And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
8	Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified forever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
9	For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
10	So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
11	Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
12	Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
13	And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
14	And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
15	Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
16	And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
17	For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
18	For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
19	That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
20	And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
21	And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
22	And Hezekiah spoke comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
23	And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
24	For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
25	And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
26	So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
27	Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.

Obadiah 1

1	The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumor from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2	Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3	The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4	Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.
5	If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6	How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
7	All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.
8	Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9	And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10	For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off forever.
11	In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
12	But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
13	Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
14	Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15	For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
16	For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17	But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18	And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
19	And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20	And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21	And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.

Acts 14

1	And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
2	But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
3	Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4	But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
5	And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,
6	They were aware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and into the region that lieth round about:
7	And there they preached the gospel.
8	And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
9	The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10	Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
11	And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
12	And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13	Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
14	Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
15	And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
16	Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
