WEB·Acts 15

¹Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”

KJVAnd^G2532 certain men^G5100 which came down^G2718^(G5631) from^G575 Judaea^G2449 taught^G1321^(G5707) the brethren^G80, and said,^G3754 Except^G3362 ye be circumcised^G4059^(G5747) after the manner^G1485 of Moses^G3475, ye cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) be saved^G4982^(G5683).

² Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.

KJVWhen therefore^G3767 Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Barnabas^G921 had^G1096^(G5637) no^G3756 small^G3641 dissension^G4714 and^G2532 disputation^G4803 with^G4314 them^G846, they determined^G5021^(G5656) that Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Barnabas^G921, and^G2532 certain^G5100 other^G243 of^G1537 them^G846, should go up^G305^(G5721) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419 unto^G4314 the apostles^G652 and^G2532 elders^G4245 about^G4012 this^G5127 question^G2213.

³ They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.

KJVAnd^G3303^G3767 being brought on their way^G4311^(G5685) by^G5259 the church^G1577, they passed through^G1330^(G5711) Phenice^G5403 and^G2532 Samaria^G4540, declaring^G1555^(G5740) the conversion^G1995 of the Gentiles^G1484: and^G2532 they caused^G4160^(G5707) great^G3173 joy^G5479 unto all^G3956 the brethren^G80.

⁴ When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.

KJVAnd^G1161 when they were come^G3854^(G5637) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, they were received^G588^(G5681) of^G5259 the church^G1577, and^G2532 of the apostles^G652 and^G2532 elders^G4245, and^G5037 they declared^G312^(G5656) all things^G3745 that God^G2316 had done^G4160^(G5656) with^G3326 them^G846.

⁵ But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”

KJVBut^G1161 there rose up^G1817^(G5627) certain^G5100 of^G575 the sect^G139 of the Pharisees^G5330 which believed^G4100^(G5761), saying^G3004^(G5723), That^G3754 it was needful^G1163^(G5748) to circumcise^G4059^(G5721) them^G846, and^G5037 to command^G3853^(G5721) them to keep^G5083^(G5721) the law^G3551 of Moses^G3475.

⁶ The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.

KJVAnd^G1161 the apostles^G652 and^G2532 elders^G4245 came together^G4863^(G5681) for to consider^G1492^(G5629) of^G4012 this^G5127 matter^G3056.

⁷ When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.

KJVAnd^G1161 when there had been^G1096^(G5637) much^G4183 disputing^G4803, Peter^G4074 rose up^G450^(G5631), and said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Men^G435 and brethren^G80, ye^G5210 know^G1987^(G5736) how that^G3754 a good^G744 while^G2250 ago^G575 God^G2316 made choice^G1586^(G5668) among^G1722 us^G2254, that the Gentiles^G1484 by^G1223 my^G3450 mouth^G4750 should hear^G191^(G5658) the word^G3056 of the gospel^G2098, and^G2532 believe^G4100^(G5658).

⁸ God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.

KJVAnd^G2532 God^G2316, which knoweth the hearts^G2589, bare them^G846 witness^G3140^(G5656), giving^G1325^(G5631) them^G846 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, even^G2532 as^G2531 he did unto us^G2254;

⁹ He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

KJVAnd^G2532 put^G1252 no^G3762 difference^G1252^(G5656) between^G3342^G5037 us^G2257 and^G2532 them^G846, purifying^G2511^(G5660) their^G846 hearts^G2588 by faith^G4102.

¹⁰ Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

KJVNow^G3568 therefore^G3767 why^G5101 tempt ye^G3985^(G5719) God^G2316, to put^G2007^(G5629) a yoke^G2218 upon^G1909 the neck^G5137 of the disciples^G3101, which^G3739 neither^G3777 our^G2257 fathers^G3962 nor^G3777 we^G2249 were able^G2480^(G5656) to bear^G941^(G5658)?

¹¹ But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”

KJVBut^G235 we believe^G4100^(G5719) that through^G1223 the grace^G5485 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 we shall be saved^G4982^(G5683), even^G2596^G3739 as^G5158 they^G2548.

¹² All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.

KJVThen^G1161 all^G3956 the multitude^G4128 kept silence^G4601^(G5656), and^G2532 gave audience^G191^(G5707) to Barnabas^G921 and^G2532 Paul^G3972, declaring^G1834^(G5740) what^G3745 miracles^G4592 and^G2532 wonders^G5059 God^G2316 had wrought^G4160^(G5656) among^G1722 the Gentiles^G1484 by^G1223 them^G846.

¹³ After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.

KJVAnd^G1161 after^G3326 they had held^G4601 their^G846 peace^G4601^(G5658), James^G2385 answered^G611^(G5662), saying^G3004^(G5723), Men^G435 and brethren^G80, hearken^G191^(G5657) unto me^G3450:

¹⁴ Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.

KJVSimeon^G4826 hath declared^G1834^(G5662) how^G2531 God^G2316 at the first^G4412 did visit^G1980^(G5662) the Gentiles^G1484, to take^G2983^(G5629) out of^G1537 them a people^G2992 for^G1909 his^G846 name^G3686.

¹⁵ This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,

KJVAnd^G2532 to this^G5129 agree^G4856^(G5719) the words^G3056 of the prophets^G4396; as^G2531 it is written^G1125^(G5769),

¹⁶ ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up

KJVAfter^G3326 this^G5023 I will return^G390^(G5692), and^G2532 will build again^G456^(G5692) the tabernacle^G4633 of David^G1138, which^G3588 is fallen down^G4098^(G5761); and^G2532 I will build again^G456^(G5692) the ruins^G2679^(G5772) thereof^G846, and^G2532 I will set^G461 it^G846 up^G461^(G5692):

¹⁷ that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’

KJVThat^G3704^G302 the residue^G2645 of men^G444 might seek after^G1567^(G5661) the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 all^G3956 the Gentiles^G1484, upon^G1909 whom^G3739 my^G3450 name^G3686 is called^G1941^(G5769)^G1909^G846, saith^G3004^(G5719) the Lord^G2962, who^G3588 doeth^G4160^(G5723) all^G3956 these things^G5023.

¹⁸ “All of God’s works are known to him from eternity.

KJVKnown^G1110 unto God^G2316 are^G2076^(G5748) all^G3956 his^G846 works^G2041 from^G575 the beginning of the world^G165.

¹⁹ Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,

KJVWherefore^G1352 my^G1473 sentence is^G2919^(G5719), that we trouble^G3926^(G5721) not^G3361 them, which^G3588 from among^G575 the Gentiles^G1484 are turned^G1994^(G5723) to^G1909 God^G2316:

²⁰ but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.

KJVBut^G235 that we write^G1989^(G5658) unto them^G846, that they abstain^G567^(G5733) from^G575 pollutions^G234 of idols^G1497, and^G2532 from fornication^G4202, and^G2532 from things strangled^G4156, and^G2532 from blood^G129.

²¹ For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

KJVFor^G1063 Moses^G3475 of^G1537 old^G744 time^G1074 hath^G2192^(G5719) in every^G2596 city^G4172 them that preach^G2784^(G5723) him^G846, being read^G314^(G5746) in^G1722 the synagogues^G4864 every^G2596^G3956 sabbath day^G4521.

²² Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.

KJVThen^G5119 pleased it^G1380^(G5656) the apostles^G652 and^G2532 elders^G4245, with^G4862 the whole^G3650 church^G1577, to send^G3992^(G5658) chosen^G1586^(G5671) men^G435 of^G1537 their own company^G846 to^G1519 Antioch^G490 with^G4862 Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Barnabas^G921; namely, Judas^G2455 surnamed^G1941^(G5746) Barsabas^G923, and^G2532 Silas^G4609, chief^G2233^(G5740) men^G435 among^G1722 the brethren^G80:

²³ They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.

KJVAnd they wrote^G1125^(G5660) letters by^G1223 them^G5495^G846 after this manner^G3592; The apostles^G652 and^G2532 elders^G4245 and^G2532 brethren^G80 send greeting^G5463^(G5721) unto the brethren^G80 which^G3588 are of^G1537 the Gentiles^G1484 in^G2596 Antioch^G490 and^G2532 Syria^G4947 and^G2532 Cilicia^G2791:

²⁴ Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;

KJVForasmuch as^G1894 we have heard^G191^(G5656), that^G3754 certain^G5100 which went out^G1831^(G5631) from^G1537 us^G2257 have troubled^G5015^(G5656) you^G5209 with words^G3056, subverting^G384^(G5723) your^G5216 souls^G5590, saying^G3004^(G5723), Ye must be circumcised^G4059^(G5745), and^G2532 keep^G5083^(G5721) the law^G3551: to whom^G3739 we gave^G1291 no^G3756 such commandment^G1291^(G5668):

²⁵ it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

KJVIt seemed good^G1380^(G5656) unto us^G2254, being assembled^G1096^(G5637) with one accord^G3661, to send^G3992^(G5658) chosen^G1586^(G5671) men^G435 unto^G4314 you^G5209 with^G4862 our^G2257 beloved^G27 Barnabas^G921 and^G2532 Paul^G3972,

²⁶ men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVMen^G444 that have hazarded^G3860^(G5761) their^G846 lives^G5590 for^G5228 the name^G3686 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

²⁷ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.

KJVWe have sent^G649^(G5758) therefore^G3767 Judas^G2455 and^G2532 Silas^G4609, who^G846 shall^G518 also^G2532 tell^G518^(G5723) you the same things^G846 by^G1223 mouth^G3056.

²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:

KJVFor^G1063 it seemed good^G1380^(G5656) to the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, and^G2532 to us^G2254, to lay upon^G2007^(G5733) you^G5213 no^G3367 greater^G4119 burden^G922 than^G4133 these^G5130 necessary things^G1876;

²⁹ that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”

KJVThat ye abstain^G567^(G5733) from meats offered to idols^G1494, and^G2532 from blood^G129, and^G2532 from things strangled^G4156, and^G2532 from fornication^G4202: from^G1537 which^G3739 if ye keep^G1301^(G5723) yourselves^G1438, ye shall do^G4238^(G5692) well^G2095. Fare ye well^G4517^(G5770).

³⁰ So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

KJVSo^G3303^G3767 when they were dismissed^G630^(G5685), they came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Antioch^G490: and^G2532 when they had gathered^G4863 the multitude^G4128 together^G4863^(G5631), they delivered^G1929^(G5656) the epistle^G1992:

³¹ When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.

KJVWhich when^G1161 they had read^G314^(G5631), they rejoiced^G5463^(G5644) for^G1909 the consolation^G3874.

³² Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.

KJVAnd Judas^G2455 and^G2532 Silas^G4609, being^G5607^(G5752) prophets^G4396 also^G2532 themselves^G846, exhorted^G3870^(G5656) the brethren^G80 with^G1223 many^G4183 words^G3056, and^G2532 confirmed^G1991^(G5656) them.

³³ After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.

KJVAnd^G1161 after they had tarried^G4160^(G5660) there a space^G5550, they were let go^G630^(G5681) in^G3326 peace^G1515 from^G575 the brethren^G80 unto^G4314 the apostles^G652.

³⁴

KJVNotwithstanding^G1161 it pleased^G1380^(G5656) Silas^G4609 to abide^G1961 there^G847 still^G1961^(G5658).

³⁵ But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

KJVPaul^G3972 also^G1161 and^G2532 Barnabas^G921 continued^G1304^(G5707) in^G1722 Antioch^G490, teaching^G1321^(G5723) and^G2532 preaching^G2097^(G5734) the word^G3056 of the Lord^G2962, with^G3326 many^G4183 others^G2087 also^G2532.

³⁶ After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”

KJVAnd^G1161 some^G5100 days^G2250 after^G3326 Paul^G3972 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 Barnabas^G921,^G1211 Let us go again^G1994^(G5660) and visit^G1980^(G5667) our^G2257 brethren^G80 in^G2596 every^G3956 city^G4172 where^G1722^G3739 we have preached^G2605^(G5656) the word^G3056 of the Lord^G2962, and see how^G4459 they do^G2192^(G5719).

³⁷ Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.

KJVAnd^G1161 Barnabas^G921 determined^G1011^(G5662) to take with them^G4838^(G5629) John^G2491, whose surname was^G2564^(G5746) Mark^G3138.

³⁸ But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.

KJVBut^G1161 Paul^G3972 thought^G515 not^G3361 good^G515^(G5707) to take^G4838 him^G5126 with them^G4838^(G5629), who^G3588 departed^G868^(G5631) from^G575 them^G846 from^G575 Pamphylia^G3828, and^G2532 went^G4905^(G5631) not^G3361 with them^G846 to^G1519 the work^G2041.

³⁹ Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,

KJVAnd^G3767 the contention^G3948 was^G1096^(G5633) so sharp^G3948 between them^G846, that^G5620 they departed asunder^G673^(G5683) one from the other^G575^G240: and so^G5037 Barnabas^G921 took^G3880^(G5631) Mark^G3138, and sailed^G1602^(G5658) unto^G1519 Cyprus^G2954;

⁴⁰ but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

KJVAnd^G1161 Paul^G3972 chose^G1951^(G5671) Silas^G4609, and departed^G1831^(G5627), being recommended^G3860^(G5685) by^G5259 the brethren^G80 unto the grace^G5485 of God^G2316.

⁴¹ He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.

KJVAnd^G1161 he went through^G1330^(G5711) Syria^G4947 and^G2532 Cilicia^G2791, confirming^G1991^(G5723) the churches^G1577.

WEB·Acts 14

¹In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633) in^G1722 Iconium^G2430, that they^G846 went^G1525^(G5629) both^G2596 together^G846 into^G1519 the synagogue^G4864 of the Jews^G2453, and^G2532 so^G3779 spake^G2980^(G5658), that^G5620 a great^G4183 multitude^G4128 both^G5037 of the Jews^G2453 and also^G2532 of the Greeks^G1672 believed^G4100^(G5658).

² But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.

KJVBut^G1161 the unbelieving^G544^(G5723) Jews^G2453 stirred up^G1892^(G5656) the Gentiles^G1484, and^G2532 made^G2559 their minds^G5590 evil affected^G2559^(G5656) against^G2596 the brethren^G80.

³ Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

KJVLong^G2425 time^G5550 therefore^G3303^G3767 abode they^G1304^(G5656) speaking boldly^G3955^(G5740) in^G1909 the Lord^G2962, which^G3588 gave testimony^G3140^(G5723) unto the word^G3056 of his^G846 grace^G5485, and^G2532 granted^G1325^(G5723) signs^G4592 and^G2532 wonders^G5059 to be done^G1096^(G5738) by^G1223 their^G846 hands^G5495.

⁴ But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.

KJVBut^G1161 the multitude^G4128 of the city^G4172 was divided^G4977^(G5681): and^G2532 part^G3303 held^G2258^(G5713) with^G4862 the Jews^G2453, and^G1161 part with^G4862 the apostles^G652.

⁵ When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 there was^G1096 an assault^G3730 made^G1096^(G5633) both^G5037 of the Gentiles^G1484, and also^G2532 of the Jews^G2453 with^G4862 their^G846 rulers^G758, to use them despitefully^G5195^(G5658), and^G2532 to stone^G3036^(G5658) them^G846,

⁶ they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

KJVThey were ware^G4894^(G5631) of it, and fled^G2703^(G5627) unto^G1519 Lystra^G3082 and^G2532 Derbe^G1191, cities^G4172 of Lycaonia^G3071, and^G2532 unto the region that lieth round about^G4066:

⁷ There they preached the Good News.

KJVAnd there^G2546 they preached the gospel^G2258^(G5713)^G2097^(G5734).

⁸ At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

KJVAnd^G2532 there sat^G2521^(G5711) a certain^G5100 man^G435 at^G1722 Lystra^G3082, impotent^G102 in his feet^G4228, being^G5225^(G5723) a cripple^G5560 from^G1537 his^G846 mother's^G3384 womb^G2836, who^G3739 never^G3763 had walked^G4043^(G5715):

⁹ He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

KJVThe same^G3778 heard^G191^(G5707) Paul^G3972 speak^G2980^(G5723): who^G3739 stedfastly beholding^G816^(G5660) him^G846, and^G2532 perceiving^G1492^(G5631) that^G3754 he had^G2192^(G5719) faith^G4102 to be healed^G4982^(G5683),

¹⁰ said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.

KJVSaid^G2036^(G5627) with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456, Stand^G450^(G5628) upright^G3717 on^G1909 thy^G4675 feet^G4228. And^G2532 he leaped^G242^(G5711) and^G2532 walked^G4043^(G5707).

¹¹ When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

KJVAnd^G1161 when the people^G3793 saw^G1492^(G5631) what^G3739 Paul^G3972 had done^G4160^(G5656), they lifted up^G1869^(G5656) their^G846 voices^G5456, saying^G3004^(G5723) in the speech of Lycaonia^G3072, The gods^G2316 are come down^G2597^(G5627) to^G4314 us^G2248 in the likeness^G3666^(G5685) of men^G444.

¹² They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.

KJVAnd^G5037 they called^G2564^(G5707) Barnabas^G921,^G3303 Jupiter^G2203; and^G1161 Paul^G3972, Mercurius^G2060, because^G1894 he^G846 was^G2258^(G5713) the chief^G2233^(G5740) speaker^G3056.

¹³ The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.

KJVThen^G1161 the priest^G2409 of Jupiter^G2203, which^G3588 was^G5607^(G5752) before^G4253 their^G846 city^G4172, brought^G5342^(G5660) oxen^G5022 and^G2532 garlands^G4725 unto^G1909 the gates^G4440, and would^G2309^(G5707) have done sacrifice^G2380^(G5721) with^G4862 the people^G3793.

¹⁴ But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,

KJVWhich when^G1161 the apostles^G652, Barnabas^G921 and^G2532 Paul^G3972, heard^G191^(G5660) of, they rent^G1284^(G5660) their^G846 clothes^G2440, and ran^G1530^(G5656) in among^G1519 the people^G3793, crying out^G2896^(G5723),

¹⁵ “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

KJVAnd^G2532 saying^G3004^(G5723), Sirs^G435, why^G5101 do ye^G4160^(G5719) these things^G5130? We^G2249 also^G2532 are^G2070^(G5748) men^G444 of like passions^G3663 with you^G5213, and preach^G2097^(G5734) unto you^G5209 that ye should turn^G1994^(G5721) from^G575 these^G5023 vanities^G3152 unto^G1909 the living^G2198^(G5723) God^G2316, which^G3739 made^G4160^(G5656) heaven^G3772, and^G2532 earth^G1093, and^G2532 the sea^G2281, and^G2532 all things^G3956 that are therein^G1722^G846:

¹⁶ who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

KJVWho^G3739 in^G1722 times^G1074 past^G3944^(G5768) suffered^G1439^(G5656) all^G3956 nations^G1484 to walk^G4198^(G5738) in their own^G846 ways^G3598.

¹⁷ Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

KJVNevertheless^G2544^G2532 he left^G863^(G5656) not^G3756 himself^G1438 without witness^G267, in that he did good^G15^(G5723), and gave^G1325^(G5723) us^G2254 rain^G5205 from heaven^G3771, and^G2532 fruitful^G2593 seasons^G2540, filling^G1705^(G5723) our^G2257 hearts^G2588 with food^G5160 and^G2532 gladness^G2167.

¹⁸ Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.

KJVAnd^G2532 with these^G5023 sayings^G3004^(G5723) scarce^G3433 restrained they^G2664^(G5656) the people^G3793, that they had^G2380 not^G3361 done sacrifice^G2380^(G5721) unto them^G846.

¹⁹ But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

KJVAnd^G1161 there came thither^G1904^(G5627) certain Jews^G2453 from^G575 Antioch^G490 and^G2532 Iconium^G2430, who^G2532 persuaded^G3982^(G5660) the people^G3793, and^G2532, having stoned^G3034^(G5660) Paul^G3972, drew^G4951^(G5707) him out of^G1854 the city^G4172, supposing^G3543^(G5660) he^G846 had been dead^G2348^(G5755).

²⁰ But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.

KJVHowbeit^G1161, as the disciples^G3101 stood round about^G2944^(G5660) him^G846, he rose up^G450^(G5631), and came^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 the city^G4172: and^G2532 the next day^G1887 he departed^G1831^(G5627) with^G4862 Barnabas^G921 to^G1519 Derbe^G1191.

KJVAnd^G5037 when they had preached the gospel^G2097^(G5671) to that^G1565 city^G4172, and^G2532 had taught^G3100^(G5660) many^G2425, they returned again^G5290^(G5656) to^G1519 Lystra^G3082, and^G2532 to Iconium^G2430, and^G2532 Antioch^G490,

²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

KJVConfirming^G1991^(G5723) the souls^G5590 of the disciples^G3101, and exhorting them^G3870^(G5723) to continue^G1696^(G5721) in the faith^G4102, and^G2532 that^G3754 we^G2248 must^G1163^(G5748) through^G1223 much^G4183 tribulation^G2347 enter^G1525^(G5629) into^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.

²³ When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.

KJVAnd^G1161 when they had ordained^G5500^(G5660) them^G846 elders^G4245 in every^G2596 church^G1577, and had prayed^G4336^(G5666) with^G3326 fasting^G3521, they commended^G3908^(G5639) them^G846 to the Lord^G2962, on^G1519 whom^G3739 they believed^G4100^(G5715).

²⁴ They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

KJVAnd^G2532 after they had passed throughout^G1330^(G5631) Pisidia^G4099, they came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Pamphylia^G3828.

²⁵ When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they had preached^G2980^(G5660) the word^G3056 in^G1722 Perga^G4011, they went down^G2597^(G5627) into^G1519 Attalia^G825:

²⁶ From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

KJVAnd thence^G2547 sailed^G636^(G5656) to^G1519 Antioch^G490, from whence^G3606 they had been^G2258^(G5713) recommended^G3860^(G5772) to the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 for^G1519 the work^G2041 which^G3739 they fulfilled^G4137^(G5656).

²⁷ When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

KJVAnd^G1161 when they were come^G3854^(G5637), and^G2532 had gathered^G4863 the church^G1577 together^G4863^(G5631), they rehearsed^G312^(G5656) all^G3745 that God^G2316 had done^G4160^(G5656) with^G3326 them^G846, and^G2532 how^G3754 he had opened^G455^(G5656) the door^G2374 of faith^G4102 unto the Gentiles^G1484.

²⁸ They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.

KJVAnd^G1161 there^G1563 they abode^G1304^(G5707) long^G3756^G3641 time^G5550 with^G4862 the disciples^G3101.
