Acts 1:5

5 For John baptized withwater, but in a few days you will be baptized withthe Holy Spirit.”

Acts 1:6

6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

Acts 1:9

9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

Acts 1:11

11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

Acts 1:14

14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

Acts 1:15

15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty)

Acts 1:17

17 He was one of our number and shared in our ministry.”

Acts 1:18

18 (With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.

Acts 1:22

22 beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

Acts 1:24

24 Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen

Acts 1:25

25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.”

Acts 2:6

6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken.

Acts 2:7

7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?

Acts 2:12

12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

Acts 2:14

14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say.

Acts 2:15

15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning!

Acts 2:16

16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

Acts 2:22

22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.

Acts 2:23

23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.

Acts 2:26

26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope,

Acts 2:29

29 “Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.

Acts 2:32

32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.

Acts 2:33

33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

Acts 2:36

36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”

Acts 2:40

40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”

Acts 3:12

12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

Acts 3:16

16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.

Acts 3:24

24 “Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets who have spoken have foretold these days.

Acts 4:7

7 They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

Acts 4:9

9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed,

Acts 4:10

10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

Acts 4:16

16 “What are we going to do with these men?” they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it.

Acts 4:17

17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”

Acts 4:22

22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.

Acts 4:27

27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.

Acts 5:4

4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

Acts 5:5

5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened.

Acts 5:11

11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.

Acts 5:20

20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.”

Acts 5:24

24 On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to.

Acts 5:28

28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”

Acts 5:32

32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

Acts 5:35

35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men.

Acts 5:36

36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.

Acts 5:37

37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered.

Acts 5:38

38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.

Acts 6:1

1 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.

Acts 6:3

3 Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them

Acts 6:13

13 They produced false witnesses, who testified, “This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.

Acts 6:14

14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”

Acts 7:1

1 Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”

Acts 7:4

4 “So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Harran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living.

Acts 7:7

7 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.’

Acts 7:29

29 When Moses heard this, he fled to Midian, where he settled as a foreigner and had two sons.

Acts 7:35

35 “This is the same Moses they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

Acts 7:36

36 He led them out of Egypt and performed wonders and signs in Egypt, at the Red Sea and for forty years in the wilderness.

Acts 7:37

37 “This is the Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your own people.’

Acts 7:38

38 He was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors; and he received living words to pass on to us.

Acts 7:40

40 They told Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who led us out of Egypt—we don’t know what has happened to him!’

Acts 7:50

50 Has not my hand made all these things?’

Acts 7:54

54 When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him.

Acts 7:60

60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

Acts 8:10

10 and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, “This man is rightly called the Great Power of God.”

Acts 8:19

19 and said, “Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”

Acts 8:21

21 You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God.

Acts 8:22

22 Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart.

Acts 8:26

26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”

Acts 8:29

29 The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”

Acts 8:32

32 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

Acts 8:34

34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”

Acts 8:35

35 Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

Acts 9:13

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

Acts 9:21

21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”

Acts 9:22

22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah.

Acts 9:36

36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor.

Acts 10:16

16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.

Acts 10:30

30 Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me

Acts 10:42

42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.

Acts 10:44

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.

Acts 10:47

47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”

Acts 11:10

10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.

Acts 11:12

12 The Spirit told me to have no hesitation about going with them. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house.

Acts 11:18

18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”

Acts 11:27

27 During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Acts 12:17

17 Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. “Tell James and the other brothers and sisters about this,” he said, and then he left for another place.

Acts 13:7

7 who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God.

Acts 13:17

17 The God of the people of Israel chose our ancestors; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt; with mighty power he led them out of that country;

Acts 13:20

20 All this took about 450 years. “After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.

Acts 13:23

23 “From this man’s descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised.

Acts 13:26

26 “Fellow children of Abraham and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.

Acts 13:33

33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: “ ‘You are my son; today I have become your father.’

Acts 13:42

42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath.

Acts 14:9

9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed

Acts 14:15

15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human, like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them.

Acts 14:18

18 Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.

Acts 15:2

2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.

Acts 15:6

6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question.

Acts 15:15

15 The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:

Acts 15:16

16 “ ‘After this I will return and rebuild David’s fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,

Acts 15:18

18 things known from long ago.

Acts 15:28

28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements:

Acts 16:3

3 Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

Acts 16:12

12 From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.

Acts 16:17

17 She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.”

Acts 16:18

18 She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her.

Acts 16:20

20 They brought them before the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar

Acts 16:36

36 The jailer told Paul, “The magistrates have ordered that you and Silas be released. Now you can leave. Go in peace.”

Acts 16:38

38 The officers reported this to the magistrates, and when they heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were alarmed.

Acts 17:3

3 explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah,” he said.

Acts 17:6

6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other believers before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here,

Acts 17:8

8 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil.

Acts 17:11

11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Acts 17:18

18 A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.

Acts 17:19

19 Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?

Acts 17:20

20 You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.”

Acts 17:23

23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.

Acts 17:32

32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.”

Acts 18:1

1 After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

Acts 18:10

10 For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.”

Acts 18:13

13 “This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”

Acts 18:15

15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.”

Acts 18:17

17 Then the crowd there turned on Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the proconsul; and Gallio showed no concern whatever.

Acts 18:25

25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John.

Acts 19:10

10 This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.

Acts 19:14

14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.

Acts 19:17

17 When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.

Acts 19:21

21 After all this had happened, Paul decided to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. “After I have been there,” he said, “I must visit Rome also.”

Acts 19:25

25 He called them together, along with the workers in related trades, and said: “You know, my friends, that we receive a good income from this business.

Acts 19:26

26 And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all.

Acts 19:27

27 There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited; and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty.”

Acts 19:36

36 Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to calm down and not do anything rash.

Acts 19:37

37 You have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed temples nor blasphemed our goddess.

Acts 19:40

40 As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of what happened today. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it.”

Acts 19:41

41 After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.

Acts 20:5

5 These men went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.

Acts 20:34

34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.

Acts 20:36

36 When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.

Acts 21:9

9 He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.

Acts 21:11

11 Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’ ”

Acts 21:12

12 When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.

Acts 21:15

15 After this, we started on our way up to Jerusalem.

Acts 21:23

23 so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow.

Acts 21:28

28 shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”

Acts 21:38

38 “Aren’t you the Egyptian who started a revolt and led four thousand terrorists out into the wilderness some time ago?”

Acts 22:3

3 “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city. I studied under Gamaliel and was thoroughly trained in the law of our ancestors. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.

Acts 22:4

4 I persecuted the followers of this Way to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison,

Acts 22:22

22 The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He’s not fit to live!”

Acts 22:26

26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and reported it. “What are you going to do?” he asked. “This man is a Roman citizen.”

Acts 22:28

28 Then the commander said, “I had to pay a lot of money for my citizenship.” “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.

Acts 23:1

1 Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, “My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.”

Acts 23:7

7 When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

Acts 23:9

9 There was a great uproar, and some of the teachers of the law who were Pharisees stood up and argued vigorously. “We find nothing wrong with this man,” they said. “What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”

Acts 23:13

13 More than forty men were involved in this plot.

Acts 23:17

17 Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.”

Acts 23:18

18 So he took him to the commander. The centurion said, “Paul, the prisoner, sent for me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”

Acts 23:22

22 The commander dismissed the young man with this warning: “Don’t tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”

Acts 23:25

25 He wrote a letter as follows:

Acts 23:27

27 This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, but I came with my troops and rescued him, for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen.

Acts 24:2

2 When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: “We have enjoyed a long period of peace under you, and your foresight has brought about reforms in this nation.

Acts 24:5

5 “We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect

Acts 24:8

8 examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him.”

Acts 24:9

9 The other Jews joined in the accusation, asserting that these things were true.

Acts 24:10

10 When the governor motioned for him to speak, Paul replied: “I know that for a number of years you have been a judge over this nation; so I gladly make my defense.

Acts 24:14
