1 After this I heard what
seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying,
"Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
2 for his judgments are true
and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her
fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."
3 Once more they cried,
"Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever."
4 And the twenty-four elders
and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the
throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!"

seven diadems upon his heads.

of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before

3 So with us; when we were children,
we were slaves to the elemental spirits of the universe.
4 But when the time had fully
come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,

under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts ...

to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and
Father;

different gospel --

1 But some men came down from
Judea and were teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised
according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."
2 And when Paul and Barnabas
had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the
others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders
about this question.
3 So, being sent on their way
by the church, they passed through both Phoeni'cia and Sama'ria, reporting the
conversion of the Gentiles, and they gave great joy to all the brethren.
4 When they came to Jerusalem,
they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and ...

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To

2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various
trials,
3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may
be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to
all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who
doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by ...

there were prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius
of Cyre'ne, Man'a-en a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 While they were worshiping
the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and
Saul for the work to which I have called them."
3 Then after fasting and
praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
4 So, being sent out by the
Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleu'cia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

1 Now the apostles and the

of God.
2 So when Peter went up to
Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him,
3 saying, "Why did you go
to uncircumcised men and eat with them?"
4 But Peter began and explained
to them in order:
5 "I was in the city of
Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, something descending, like a
great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came down to me.
6 Looking at it closely I
observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air.

threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
2 and asked him for letters to
the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men
or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Now as he journeyed he
approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him.
4 And he fell to the ground and
heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5 And he said, "Who are
you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting;

Abraham, when he was in Mesopota'mia, before he lived in Haran,
3 and said to him, `Depart from
your land and from your kindred and go into the land which I will show you.'
4 Then he departed from the
land of the Chalde'ans, and lived in Haran. And after his father died, God
removed him from there into this land in which you are now living;

put them in custody until the morrow, for it was already evening.

the word believed; and the number of the men came to about five thousand.

apostles whom he had chosen.

alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days,
and speaking of the kingdom of God.

he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of
the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me,

rolled away from the tomb,

did not find the body.
4 While they were perplexed
about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel;

and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you
seek the living among the dead?

while he was still in Galilee,

to see the sepulchre.

earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled
back the stone, and sat upon it.
3 His appearance was like
lightning, and his raiment white as snow.
4 And for fear of him the
guards trembled and became like dead men.

women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was
crucified.

saying, "We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding us to
give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king."
3 And Pilate asked him,
"Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have
said so."
4 And Pilate said to the chief
priests and the multitudes, "I find no crime in this man."

that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver
to the chief priests and the elders,

in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to
it yourself."

of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself.
