\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.

\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 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.
