Luke 18

1	And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2	saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3	And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4	And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5	Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6	And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7	And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8	I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9	And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10	Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11	The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12	I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13	And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14	I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15	And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16	But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17	Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18	And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19	And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20	Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother.
21	And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22	Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23	And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24	And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25	For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26	And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27	And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28	Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee,
29	And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
30	Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
31	Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32	For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33	And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34	And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35	And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36	And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37	And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38	And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
39	And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
40	And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41	saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42	And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43	And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Numbers 34

1	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2	Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof: )
3	Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outermost coast of the salt sea eastward:
4	And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
5	And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6	And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
7	And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
8	From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
9	And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
10	And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
11	And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
12	And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
13	And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
14	For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
15	The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
17	These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18	And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19	And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20	And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21	Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23	The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29	These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Hebrews 8

1	Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2	A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3	For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4	For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5	Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.
6	But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7	For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8	For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9	Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10	For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11	And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12	For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13	In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Titus 3

1	Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2	To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.
3	For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4	But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
5	Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6	Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
7	That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8	This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9	But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10	A man that is a heretic after the first and second admonition reject;
11	Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12	When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13	Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14	And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15	All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

Job 27

1	Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2	As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
3	All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4	My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5	God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
6	My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7	Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
8	For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
9	Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
10	Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
11	I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12	Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
13	This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
14	If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15	Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
16	Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
17	He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18	He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
19	The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20	Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21	The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
22	For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23	Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

Psalms 1

1	Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2	But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3	And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4	The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5	Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6	For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Proverbs 27

1	Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2	Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3	A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
4	Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5	Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6	Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7	The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8	As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9	Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
10	Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.
11	My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12	A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13	Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14	He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15	A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16	Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which betrayeth itself.
17	Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18	Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honored.
19	As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
20	Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21	As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
22	Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23	Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24	For riches are not forever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25	The hay appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26	The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27	And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

2 Kings 25

1	And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2	And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3	And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4	And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about: ) and the king went the way toward the plain.
5	And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
6	So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
7	And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8	And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
9	And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
10	And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11	Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
12	But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
13	And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14	And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15	And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16	The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17	The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
18	And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
19	And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
20	And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
21	And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
22	And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
23	And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
24	And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
25	But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
26	And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
27	And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
28	And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
29	And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.
30	And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.

Ezekiel 28

1	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2	Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
3	Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
4	With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5	By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
7	Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8	They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
9	Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
10	Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
11	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
12	Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13	Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14	Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15	Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16	By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17	Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18	Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19	All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
20	Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21	Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
22	And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
23	For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
24	And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
25	Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
26	And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.

Acts 11

1	And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2	And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3	saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
4	But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
5	I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
6	Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
7	And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8	But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9	But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10	And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11	And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
12	And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
13	And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14	Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
15	And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16	Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17	Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
18	When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
19	Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
20	And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21	And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
22	Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
23	Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
24	For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
25	Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
