THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Acts (Author Luke)

6:5And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

11:19Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

11:27And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

11:28And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

11:30Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

12:25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

15:22Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:

15:23And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:

15:24Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

15:25It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

15:26Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15:27We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

15:28For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

15:29That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

15:30So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:

15:31Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

15:32And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

15:33And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.

15:34Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

15:35Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
