Today, we are reading Luke 15; Numbers 22; Romans 14; 1 Thessalonians1; Job 16; Psalms 26; Proverbs 16; 1 Samuel 28; Jeremiah 10; Acts 18.

Luke 15

1	Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2	And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3	And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4	What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5	And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6	And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7	I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
8	Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9	And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10	Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11	And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12	And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13	And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14	And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15	And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16	And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17	And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18	I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19	And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20	And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21	And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22	But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23	And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24	For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25	Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26	And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27	And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28	And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him.
29	And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30	But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31	And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32	It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

Numbers 22

1	And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
2	And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3	And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
4	And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
5	He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:
6	Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
7	And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spoke unto him the words of Balak.
8	And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
9	And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
10	And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
11	Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
12	And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
13	And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
14	And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
15	And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
16	And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:
17	For I will promote thee unto very great honor, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
18	And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
19	Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
20	And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
21	And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
22	And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
23	And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
24	But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
25	And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
26	And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27	And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
28	And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
29	And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
30	And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
31	Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
32	And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
33	And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
34	And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.
35	And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
36	And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
37	And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor?
38	And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
39	And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath-huzoth.
40	And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
41	And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.

Romans 14

1	Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2	For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3	Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4	Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5	One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6	He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7	For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8	For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9	For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10	But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at naught thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11	For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12	So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13	Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14	I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15	But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16	Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17	For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18	For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19	Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
20	For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offense.
21	It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
22	Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
23	And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Job 16

1	Then Job answered and said,
2	I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
3	Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
4	I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
5	But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should assuage your grief.
6	Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
7	But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
8	And thou hast filled me with wrath, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
9	He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10	They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
11	God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
12	I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
13	His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14	He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
15	I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
16	My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17	Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
18	O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
19	Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
20	My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
21	O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbor!
22	When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

Psalms 26

1	A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2	Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3	For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4	I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5	I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6	I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
7	That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8	LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth.
9	Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10	In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11	But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12	My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

Proverbs 16

1	The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
2	All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
3	Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4	The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5	Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6	By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
7	When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8	Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9	A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
10	A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11	A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
12	It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13	Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14	The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15	In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16	How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17	The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18	Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19	Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20	He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
21	The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22	Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23	The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24	Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25	There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26	He that laboreth laboreth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27	An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28	A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29	A violent man enticeth his neighbor, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
30	He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31	The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32	He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33	The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

1 Samuel 28

1	And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their armies for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.
2	And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head forever.
3	Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
4	And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
5	And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6	And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7	Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
8	And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.
9	And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10	And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11	Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12	And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
13	And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14	And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
15	And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
16	Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
17	And the LORD hath done to him, as he spoke by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbor, even to David:
18	Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.
19	Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
20	Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
21	And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spokest unto me.
22	Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.
23	But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
24	And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:
25	And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.

Jeremiah 10

1	Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2	Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3	For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4	They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5	They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6	Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
7	Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
8	But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
9	Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
10	But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11	Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12	He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13	When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
14	Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15	They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16	The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
17	Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
18	For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19	Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20	My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21	For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22	Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
23	O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
24	O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
25	Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

Acts 18

1	After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth;
2	And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; because that (Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome: ) and came unto them.
3	And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4	And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5	And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6	And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
7	And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8	And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
9	Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
10	For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
11	And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12	And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
13	saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14	And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
15	But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
16	And he drove them from the judgment seat.
17	Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18	And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
