“ Lord,” Ananias answered,“ I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem.

But Ananias answered,“ Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem.

“ But Lord,” exclaimed Ananias,“ I’ve heard many people talk about the terrible things this man has done to the believers in Jerusalem!

“ Lord,” Ananias answered,“ I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.

But Ananias answered,“ Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he did to Your saints in Jerusalem;

Then Ananias answered,“ Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.

But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:

“ Lord,” Ananias answered,“ I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.

Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

But Ananias replied,“ Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,

But Ananias answered,“ Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.

But Saul began to destroy the church. He went from house to house. He dragged away men and women and put them in prison.

Meanwhile, Saul continued to oppose the Lord’s followers. He said they would be put to death. He went to the high priest.

“‘ Lord,’ I replied,‘ these people know what I used to do. I went from one synagogue to another and put believers in prison. I also beat them.Stephen was a man who told other people about you. I stood there when he was killed. I had agreed that he should die. I even guarded the coats of those who were killing him.’

But Samuel said,“ How can I go? Suppose Saul hears about it. Then he’ll kill me.” The Lord said,“ Take a young cow with you. Tell the elders of Bethlehem,‘ I’ve come to offer a sacrifice to the Lord.’

Pray that I will be kept safe from those in Judea who do not believe. I am taking the offering to Jerusalem. Pray that it will be welcomed by the Lord’s people there.

I am sending this letter to all of you in Rome. You are loved by God and appointed to be his holy people. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

But Moses said,“ Lord, please send someone else to do it.”Then the Lord became very angry with Moses. He said,“ What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you. He will be glad to see you.Speak to him. Tell him what to say. I will help both of you speak. I will teach you what to do.He will speak to the people for you. He will be like your mouth. And you will be like God to him.But take this walking stick in your hand. You will be able to do signs with it.”Then Moses went back to his father- in- law Jethro. He said to him,“ Let me return to my own people in Egypt. I want to see if any of them are still alive.” Jethro said,“ Go. I hope everything goes well with you.”The Lord had said to Moses in Midian,“ Go back to Egypt. All those who wanted to kill you are dead.”

“ Go to the great city of Nineveh. Preach against it. The sins of its people have come to my attention.”But Jonah ran away from the Lord. He headed for Tarshish. So he went down to the port of Joppa. There he found a ship that was going to Tarshish. He paid the fare and went on board. Then he sailed for Tarshish. He was running away from the Lord.

I ask you to receive her as one who belongs to the Lord. Receive her in the way God’s people should. Give her any help she may need from you. She has been a great help to many people, including me.

Peter traveled around the country. He went to visit the Lord’s people who lived in Lydda.

“ What have I done wrong?” asked Obadiah.“ Why are you handing me over to Ahab to be put to death?My master has sent people to look for you everywhere. There isn’t a nation or kingdom where he hasn’t sent someone to look for you. Suppose a nation or kingdom would claim you weren’t there. Then Ahab would make them give their word that they couldn’t find you. And that’s just as sure as the Lord your God is alive.But now you are telling me to go to my master. You want me to say,‘ Elijah is here.’But the Spirit of the Lord might carry you away when I leave you. Then I won’t know where you are. If I go and tell Ahab and he doesn’t find you, he’ll kill me. But I’ve worshiped the Lord ever since I was young.My master, haven’t you heard what I did? Jezebel was killing the Lord’ s prophets. But I hid 100 of them in two caves. I put 50 in each cave. I supplied them with food and water.And now you are telling me to go to my master Ahab. You want me to say to him,‘ Elijah is here.’ Ahab will kill me!”

That’s just what I was doing in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests, I put many of the Lord’s people in prison. I agreed that they should die.I often went from one synagogue to another to have them punished. I tried to force them to speak evil things against Jesus. All I wanted to do was hurt them. I even went looking for them in the cities of other lands.

I hurt the followers of the Way of Jesus. I sent many of them to their death. I arrested men and women. I threw them into prison.

I used to speak evil things against Jesus. I tried to hurt his followers. I really pushed them around. But God showed me mercy anyway. I did those things without knowing any better. I wasn’t a believer.Our Lord poured out more and more of his grace on me. Along with it came faith and love from Christ Jesus.Here is a saying that you can trust. It should be accepted completely. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the worst sinner of all.

Sometimes I think,“ I won’t talk about his message anymore. I’ll never speak in his name again.” But then your message burns in my heart. It’s like a fire deep inside my bones. I’m tired of holding it in. In fact, I can’t.I hear many people whispering,“ There is terror on every side! Bring charges against Jeremiah! Let’s bring charges against him!” All my friends are waiting for me to slip. They are saying,“ Perhaps he will be tricked into making a mistake. Then we’ll win out over him. We’ll get even with him.”

Then the Spirit lifted me up and took me away. My spirit was bitter. I was very angry. The power of the Lord was on me.

Now I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the Lord’s people there.The believers in Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to take an offering. It was for those who were poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.

“ I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as snakes and as harmless as doves.

Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister. Greet Olympas and all of the Lord’s people who are with them.
