Chapter 14 Now in Iconium they went together to the Synagogue of the Jews and gave such teaching that a great number of Jews and Greeks had faith. But those Jews who had not the faith, made the minds of the Gentiles bitter against the brothers. So they kept there for a long time, taking heart in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace by causing signs and wonders to be done by their hands. But there was a division among the people of the town; some were on the side of the Jews and some on the side of the Apostles. And when a violent attempt was made by the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, to make an attack on them and have them stoned, Having got news of it, they went in flight to the towns of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the country round about: And went on preaching the good news there. And at Lystra there was a certain man, who from birth h

Now at that time a violent attack was started against the church in Jerusalem; and all but the Apostles went away into all parts of Judaea and Samaria. And God-fearing men put Stephen’s body in its last resting-place, making great weeping over him. But Saul was burning with hate against the church, going into every house and taking men and women and putting them in prison. But those who had gone in flight went everywhere preaching the word.

Chapter 1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort; Who gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
