Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.

And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women.

Some of the Jews who listened were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with many God fearing Greek men and quite a few prominent women.

Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, including a large number of God-fearing Greeks, as well as a number of the leading women.

And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of the God fearing Greeks and a significant number of the leading women.

And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas.

And some of them were persuaded, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

Then some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, including a great number of God-fearing Greeks, as well as a number of the leading women.

And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large group of God- fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.

Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.

Because of this, many of the Berean Jews believed. A number of important Greek women also became believers. And so did many Greek men.

The people of the city did not agree with one another. Some were on the side of the Jews. Others were on the side of the apostles.

Then the apostles, the elders and the whole church decided what to do. They would choose some of their own men who were leaders among the believers. They would send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. So they chose Judas Barsabbas and Silas. They were leaders among the believers.

But the Jewish leaders stirred up the important women who worshiped God. They also stirred up the men who were leaders in the city. The Jewish leaders tried to get the women and men to attack Paul and Barnabas. They threw Paul and Barnabas out of that area.

The people were told they could leave the service. Many Jews followed Paul and Barnabas. Many Gentiles who faithfully worshiped the God of the Jews did the same. Paul and Barnabas talked with them. They tried to get them to keep living in God’s grace.

“ You are the most beautiful woman of all. Where has the one who loves you gone? Which way did he turn? We’ll help you look for him.”

Paul wanted to take him along on the journey. So he circumcised Timothy because of the Jews who lived in that area. They all knew that Timothy’s father was a Greek.

‘ At that time many nations will join themselves to me. And they will become my people. I will live among you,’ says the Lord. Then you will know that the Lord who rules over all has sent me to you.

But Paul chose Silas. The believers asked the Lord to give his grace to Paul and Silas as they went.

Judas and Silas were prophets. They said many things to give strength and hope to the believers.

This went on for two years. So all the Jews and Greeks who lived in Asia Minor heard the word of the Lord.

The Jews said to one another,“ Where does this man plan to go? Does he think we can’t find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks? Will he go there to teach the Greeks?

“ Fellow Israelites, help us!” they shouted.“ This is the man who teaches everyone in all places against our people. He speaks against our law and against this holy place. Besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple. He has made this holy place‘ unclean.’ ”

All the believers were together. They shared everything they had.

So,“ Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch anything that is not pure and‘ clean.’ Then I will receive you.”( Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34, 41)And,“ I will be your Father. You will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord who rules over all.”( 2 Samuel 7:14; 7:8)

The apostles did many signs and wonders among the people. All the believers used to meet together at Solomon’s Porch.No outsider dared to join them. But the people thought highly of them.More and more men and women believed in the Lord. They joined the other believers.

He continued,“ Many nations will still come to you. And those who live in many cities will also come.The people who live in one city will go to another city. They will say,‘ Let’s go right away to ask the Lord for his blessing. Let’s look to him as our God. We ourselves are going.’Large numbers of people and nations will come to Jerusalem. They will look to me. They will ask me to bless them.”He continued,“ At that time many people of all nations and languages will take hold of one Jew. They will grab hold of the hem of his robe. And they will say,‘ We want to go to Jerusalem with you. We’ve heard that God is with you.’ ”

“ King Solomon, I love you. So tell me where you take care of your flock. Tell me where you rest your sheep at noon. Why should I have to act like a prostitute near the flocks of your friends?”“ You are the most beautiful woman of all. Don’t you know where to find the king? Follow the tracks the sheep make. Take care of your young goats near the tents of the shepherds.”

Leave your childish ways and you will live. Walk in the way of understanding.”

Peter and John were allowed to leave. They went back to their own people. They reported everything the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

Those who accepted his message were baptized. About 3,000 people joined the believers that day.The believers studied what the apostles taught. They shared their lives together. They ate and prayed together.

They did more than we expected. First they gave themselves to the Lord. Then they gave themselves to us because that was what God wanted.

Some believed what he said, and others did not.

So we are sending Judas and Silas with them. What they say will agree with this letter.

So he went to the synagogue. There he talked both with Jews and with Greeks who worshiped God. Each day he spoke with anyone who happened to be in the market place.

Every Sabbath day he went to the synagogue. He was trying to get both Jews and Greeks to believe in the Lord.

At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue as usual. They spoke there with great power. Large numbers of Jews and Greeks became believers.

Walk with wise people and become wise. A companion of foolish people suffers harm.

Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed in Jesus. Dionysius was one of them. He was a member of the Areopagus. A woman named Damaris also became a believer. And so did some others.
