Then G5119 pleased G1380 it the apostles G652 and elders G4245 with the whole G3650 church, G1577 to send G3992 chosen G1586 men G435 of their own company to Antioch G490 with Paul G3972 and Barnabas; G921 namely, Judas G2455 surnamed G1941 Barsabas G923 and Silas, G4609 chief G2233 men G435 among G1722 the brothers: G80

And the thing H1697 was good H3190 in the eyes H5869 of Pharaoh, H6547 and in the eyes H5869 of all H3605 his servants. H5650

A soft H7390 answer H4617 turns H7725 away wrath: H2534 but grievous H6089 words H1697 stir H5927 up anger. H639

A man H376 has joy H8057 by the answer H4617 of his mouth: H6310 and a word H1697 spoken in due season, H6256 how H4100 good H2896 is it!

A word H1697 fitly H5921 H655 spoken H1696 is like apples H8598 of gold H2091 in pictures H4906 of silver. H3701

As an earring H5141 of gold, H2091 and an ornament H2481 of fine gold, H3800 so H3651 is a wise H2450 reprover H3198 on an obedient H8085 ear. H241

Why, G3767 brothers, G80 look G1980 you out among G1537 you seven G2033 men G435 of honest report, G3140 full G4134 of the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 and wisdom, G4678 whom G3739 we may appoint G2525 over G1909 this G5026 business. G5532

And Stephen, G4736 full G4134 of faith G4102 and power, G1411 did G4160 great G3173 wonders G5059 and miracles G4592 among G1722 the people. G2992

And they were not able G2480 to resist G436 the wisdom G4678 and the spirit G4151 by which G3739 he spoke. G2980

Then G1161 said G2036 the high G749 priest, G749 Are these G5023 things so? G3779

And said G2036 to him, Get G1831 you out of your country, G1093 and from your kindred, G4772 and come G1204 into G1519 the land G1093 which G3739 I shall show G1166 you.

And he gave G1325 him none G3756 inheritance G2817 in it, no, not so much as to set G968 his foot G4228 on: yet G2532 he promised G1861 that he would give G1325 it to him for a possession, G2697 and to his seed G4690 after G3326 him, when as yet he had G5607 no G3756 child. G5043

And the nation G1484 to whom G3739 they shall be in bondage G1398 will I judge, G2919 said G2036 God: G2316 and after G3326 that shall they come G1831 forth, G1831 and serve G3000 me in this G5129 place. G5117

And the patriarchs, G3966 moved G2206 with envy, G2206 sold G591 Joseph G2501 into G1519 Egypt: G125 but God G2316 was with him,

Now G1161 there came G2064 a dearth G3042 over G1909 all G3650 the land G1093 of Egypt G125 and Chanaan, G5477 and great G3173 affliction: G2347 and our fathers G3962 found G2147 no G3756 sustenance. G5527

And at G1722 the second G1208 time Joseph G2501 was made G319 known G319 to his brothers; G80 and Joseph's G2501 kindred G1085 was made G1096 known G5318 to Pharaoh. G5328

So G1161 Jacob G2384 went G2597 down G2597 into G1519 Egypt, G125 and died, G5053 he, and our fathers, G3962

But when G2531 the time G5550 of the promise G1860 drew near, G1448 which G3739 God G2316 had sworn G3660 to Abraham, G11 the people G2992 grew G837 and multiplied G4129 in Egypt, G125

The same G3778 dealt G2686 subtly G2686 with our kindred, G1085 and evil G2559 entreated G2559 our fathers, G3962 so that they cast G4160 G1570 out their young G1025 children, G1025 to the end G1519 they might not live. G2225

And when he was cast G1620 out, Pharaoh's G5328 daughter G2364 took G337 him up, and nourished G397 him for her own G1438 son. G5207

And when G5613 he was full G4137 forty G5063 years G5063 old, G5550 it came G305 into G1909 his heart G2588 to visit G1980 his brothers G80 the children G5207 of Israel. G2474

For he supposed G3543 his brothers G80 would have understood G4920 how that God G2316 by his hand G5495 would deliver G1325 them: but they understood G4920 not.

But he that did G91 his neighbor G4139 wrong G91 thrust G683 him away, G683 saying, G2036 Who G5101 made G2525 you a ruler G758 and a judge G1348 over G1909 us?

Then G1161 fled G5343 Moses G3475 at G1722 this G5129 saying, G3056 and was a stranger G3941 in the land G1093 of Madian, G3099 where G3757 he begat G1080 two G1417 sons. G5207

When Moses G3475 saw G1492 it, he wondered G2296 at the sight: G3705 and as he drew G4334 near G4334 to behold G2657 it, the voice G5456 of the LORD G2962 came G1096 to him,

Then G1161 said G2036 the Lord G2962 to him, Put G3089 off G3089 your shoes G5266 from your feet: G4228 for the place G5117 where G1722 G3739 you stand G2476 is holy G40 ground. G1093

This G5126 Moses G3475 whom G3739 they refused, G720 saying, G2036 Who G5101 made G2525 you a ruler G758 and a judge? G1348 the same G5126 did God G2316 send G649 to be a ruler G758 and a deliverer G3086 by the hand G5495 of the angel G32 which G3588 appeared G3700 to him in the bush. G942

This G3778 is that Moses, G3475 which G3588 said G2036 to the children G5207 of Israel, G2474 A prophet G4396 shall the Lord G2962 your G5216 God G2316 raise G450 up to you of your G5216 brothers, G80 like G5613 to me; him shall you hear. G191

To whom G3739 our fathers G3962 would G2309 not obey, G5255 G1036 but thrust G683 him from them, and in their hearts G2588 turned G4762 back G4762 again G4762 into G1519 Egypt, G125

And they made G3447 a calf G3447 in those G1565 days, G2250 and offered G321 sacrifice G2378 to the idol, G1497 and rejoiced G2165 in the works G2041 of their own hands. G5495

Yes, G2532 you took G353 up the tabernacle G4633 of Moloch, G3434 and the star G798 of your G5216 god G2316 Remphan, G4481 figures G5179 which G3739 you made G4160 to worship G4352 them: and I will carry G3351 you away G3351 beyond G1900 Babylon. G897

Which G3739 also G2532 our fathers G3962 that came G1237 after G3326 brought G1521 in with Jesus G2424 into G1722 the possession G2697 of the Gentiles, G1484 whom G3739 God G2316 drove G1856 out before G575 the face G4383 of our fathers, G3962 to the days G2250 of David; G1138

But Solomon G4672 built G3618 him an house. G3624

Heaven G3772 is my throne, G2362 and earth G1093 is my footstool: G5286 G4228 what G4169 house G3624 will you build G3618 me? said G3004 the Lord: G2962 or G2228 what G5101 is the place G5117 of my rest? G2663

You stiff necked G4644 and uncircumcised G564 in heart G2588 and ears, G3775 you do always G104 resist G496 the Holy G40 Ghost: G4151 as your G5216 fathers G3962 did, so G2532 do you.

Who G3748 have received G2983 the law G3551 by the disposition G1296 of angels, G32 and have not kept G5442 it.

But he, being G5225 full G4134 of the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 looked G816 up steadfastly G816 into G1519 heaven, G3772 and saw G1492 the glory G1391 of God, G2316 and Jesus G2424 standing G2476 on G1537 the right G1188 hand of God, G2316

Then G1161 they cried G2896 out with a loud G3173 voice, G5456 and stopped G4912 their ears, G3775 and ran G3729 on him with one G3661 accord, G3661

And they stoned G3036 Stephen, G4736 calling G1941 on God, and saying, G3004 Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 receive G1209 my spirit. G4151

And Saul G4569 was consenting G4909 to his death. G336 And at G1722 that time G2250 there was a great G3173 persecution G1375 against G1909 the church G1577 which G3588 was at G1722 Jerusalem; G2414 and they were all G3956 scattered G1289 abroad G1289 throughout G2596 the regions G5561 of Judaea G2449 and Samaria, G4540 except G4133 the apostles. G652

And devout G2126 men G435 carried G4792 Stephen G4736 to his burial, and made G4160 great G3173 lamentation G2870 over G1909 him.

For he was a good G18 man, G435 and full G4134 of the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 and of faith: G4102 and much G2425 people G3793 was added G4369 to the Lord. G2962

But truly H199 I am full H4390 of power H3581 by the spirit H7307 of the LORD, H3068 and of judgment, H4941 and of might, H1369 to declare H5046 to Jacob H3290 his transgression, H6588 and to Israel H3478 his sin. H2403

Then G1161 Philip G5376 went G2718 down G2718 to the city G4172 of Samaria, G4540 and preached G2784 Christ G5547 to them.

For unclean G169 spirits, G4151 crying G994 with loud G3173 voice, G5456 came G1831 out of many G4183 that were possessed G2192 with them: and many G4183 taken with palsies, G3886 and that were lame, G5560 were healed. G2323

But there was a certain G5100 man, G435 called G3686 Simon, G4613 which beforetime G4391 in the same city G4172 used G3096 sorcery, G3096 and bewitched G1839 the people G1484 of Samaria, G4540 giving G3004 out that himself G1438 was some G5100 great G3173 one:

And to him they had regard, G4337 because G1223 that of long G2425 time G5550 he had bewitched G1839 them with sorceries. G3095

Then G1161 Simon G4613 himself G846 believed G4100 also: G2532 and when he was baptized, G907 he continued G4342 with Philip, G5376 and wondered, G1839 beholding G2334 the miracles G1411 and signs G4592 which were done. G1096

And the angel G32 of the Lord G2962 spoke G2980 to Philip, G5376 saying, G3004 Arise, G450 and go G4198 toward G2596 the south G3314 to the way G3598 that goes G3597 down G2597 from Jerusalem G2419 to Gaza, G1048 which G3778 is desert. G2048

Was returning, G5290 and sitting G2521 in his chariot G716 read G314 Esaias G2268 the prophet. G4396

And Philip G5376 ran G4370 thither G4370 to him, and heard G191 him read G314 the prophet G4396 Esaias, G2268 and said, G2036 Understand G1097 you what G3739 you read? G314

The place G4042 of the scripture G1124 which he read G314 was this, G3778 He was led G71 as a sheep G4263 to the slaughter; G4967 and like G5613 a lamb G286 dumb G880 before G1726 his shearer, G2751 so G3779 opened G455 he not his mouth: G4750

And the eunuch G2135 answered G611 Philip, G5376 and said, G2036 I pray G1189 you, of whom G5101 speaks G3004 the prophet G4396 this? G5124 of himself, G1438 or G2228 of some G5100 other G2087 man?

And as they went G4198 on G2596 their way, G3598 they came G2064 to a certain G5100 water: G5204 and the eunuch G2135 said, G5346 See, G2400 here is water; G5204 what G5101 does hinder G2967 me to be baptized? G907

And he commanded G2753 the chariot G716 to stand G2476 still: G2476 and they went G2597 down G2597 both G297 into G1519 the water, G5204 both G5037 Philip G5376 and the eunuch; G2135 and he baptized G907 him.

But Philip G5376 was found G2147 at G1519 Azotus: G108 and passing G1330 through G1223 he preached G2097 in all G3956 the cities, G4172 till G2193 he came G2064 to Caesarea. G2542

And the next G1887 day we that were of Paul's G3972 company G4012 departed, G1831 and came G2064 to Caesarea: G2542 and we entered G1525 into G1519 the house G3624 of Philip G5376 the evangelist, G2099 which was one of the seven; G2033 and stayed G3306 with him.

But this G5124 you have, G2192 that you hate G3404 the deeds G2041 of the Nicolaitanes, G3531 which G3739 I also G2504 hate. G3404

So G3779 have G2192 you also G2532 them that hold G2902 the doctrine G1322 of the Nicolaitanes, G3531 which G3739 thing I hate. G3404

Now G1161 there were in the church G1577 that was at G1722 Antioch G490 certain G5100 prophets G4396 and teachers; G1320 as Barnabas, G921 and Simeon G4826 that was called G2564 Niger, G3526 and Lucius G3066 of Cyrene, G2957 and Manaen, G3127 which had been brought G4939 up with Herod G2264 the tetrarch, G5076 and Saul. G4569
