\v 22 You who command people not to sleep with someone to whom they are not married, it is disgusting that you commit adultery yourself! You who command others not to worship idols, it is disgusting that you rob the temples where people worship those idols.
\v 28 They shouted, "Men of Israel, help us to stop this man! He is the man who goes around everywhere teaching people to oppose our people, the Law of Moses, and this temple. He has even brought Gentiles here into our temple, making this place unholy!"
\v 27 So now people may see our idol business as dishonorable. Not only that, but they might reject the temple of the great goddess Artemis as a place that has no meaning at all and they might forget her, even though many people in the province of Asia and all over the world worship her.

\v 14 We all fell to the ground. Then I heard the voice of someone speaking to me in the Hebrew language.
\p "He said, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? You only hurt yourself when you fight against me."
\v 10 The argument became so great that the Pharisees and Sadducees began to fight with one another. Seeing this, the commander of the Roman soldiers was afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces, so he told the men under his command to go down to the place where Paul was, and to take a number of soldiers who could be able to safely bring him from there and to take him to the place where the soldiers were staying.
From Bob Johnson
\40 Be careful, so that the very things the prophets said would happen do not happen to you. God spoke through one of them, and he said:
\q
\ 41 'You who ridicule me, you will certainly be astonished and will die when you see what I am doing today.
\q I am doing a work that you will not believe, even when it happens to you;
\q even if someone told you about it, you would not believe it.
\v 18 When they had heard what Peter said, they stopped speaking and no longer argued with him. Then they praised God, saying, "God now gives even the Gentiles the ability to turn from their sinful behavior and receive eternal life."
\v 12 Inside the sheet were all kinds of four-legged animals and reptiles and birds of the air that the law of Moses said we must not eat.
\v 14 But Peter replied, "I cannot do this, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is unacceptable to you or that would make me unacceptable to you!"
\v 25 I have been speaking these things in parables, but there will soon be a time when I will no longer speak that way. Instead, I will tell you all about my Father in ways that you can clearly understand.
From Bob Johnson and Susan Quigley
\v 16 Instead, what has happened to us is the miraculous thing that the prophet Joel wrote about long ago. He wrote:
\p
\v 17 'During the last days, God says, I will give my Holy Spirit to all people, and your sons and daughters will tell people my messages, and I will give visions to the young men and I will give dreams to the old men.
