In those dayes as the nombre of the disciples grewe , ther arose a
grudge amonge the Grekes agaynste the Ebrues , because their wyddowes
were despysed in the dayly mynystracion . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.5)

Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to gether
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.6)

and sayde : it is not mete that we shuld leave the worde of God and
serve at the tables . Wherfore brethren , loke ye out amonge you seven

But we will geve oure selves continually to prayer , and to the
ministracion of the worde . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.8)

And the sayinge pleased the whoale multitude . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.9)

And they chose Steven a man full of fayth and of the holy goost , and
Philip , and Prochorus , and Nichanor , and Timon , and Permenas , and
Nicholas a converte of Antioche . Which they set before the Apostles ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.10)

and they prayed (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.11)

and layde their hondes on them . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.12)

And the worde of God encreased , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.13)

(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.14)

and a great company of the prestes were obedient to the faythe .

And Steven full of faythe and power , dyd great wondres and myracles

Then ther arose certayne of the synagoge , which are called Lybertines
and Syrenites , and of Alexandria , and of Cilicia , and Asia ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.17)

and disputed with Steven . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.18)

And they coulde not resist the wysdome , and the sprete , with which he
spake . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.19)

Then sent they in men , which sayd : we have hearde him speake
blasphemous wordes agaynst Moses , and agaynst God .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.20)

And they moved the people and the elders and the scribes :

place , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.26)

and shall chaunge the ordinaunces which Moses gave vs .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VI,1A.27)

The God of glory appered vnto oure father Abraham whyll he was yet in

(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,1A.37)

and come into the londe , which I shall shewe the .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,1A.38)

Then came he out of the londe of Chaldey , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,1A.39)

and dwelt in Charran . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,1A.40)

And after that , assone as his father was deed , he brought him into

and he gave him none inheritaunce in it , no not the bredeth of a fote

but promised that he wolde geve it to him to possesse and to his seed
after him , when as yet he had no chylde . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,1A.43)

God verely spake on this wyse that his seade shulde be a dweller in a
straunge londe and that they shulde kepe them in bondage and entreate
them evyll .iiii.C. yeares . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,1A.44)

But the nation to whom they $shall $be {TEXT:shalbe} in bondage will I
iudge , sayde God . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,1A.45)

And after that shall they come forthe and serve me in this place .

And gave him faveour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao kynge of Egipte
which made him governer over Egipte , and over all his housholde .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,1A.54)

Then came ther a derth over all the londe of Egipt and Canaan , and
great affliccion , that our fathers founde no sustenaunce .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,1A.55)

But when Jacob hearde that ther was corne in Egipte , he sent oure

and made them to cast oute their younge chyldren , that they shuld not

<P_VII,20A>

The same tyme was Moses borne , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.70)

and was a proper childe in the sight of God , which was norisshed vp in
his fathers housse thre monethes . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.71)

When he was cast out , Pharoes doughter toke him vp ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.72)

and norisshed him vp for her awne sonne . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.73)

And Moses was learned in all maner wisdome of the Egipcians ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.74)

and was mighty in dedes and in wordes . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.75)

And when he was full forty yeare olde , it came into his hert to visit

And when he sawe one of them suffre wronge , he defended him ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.77)

and avenged his quarell that had the harme done to him ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.78)

and smote the Egypcian . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.79)

For he supposed hys brethren wolde have vnderstonde how that God by his
hondes shuld save them (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.80)

But they vnderstode not . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.81)

And the next daye he shewed him selfe vnto them as they strove ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.82)

and wolde have set them at one agayne sayinge : Syrs , ye are brethren
, (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.83)

why hurte ye one another ? (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.84)

But he that dyd his neghbour wronge , thrust him awaye sayinge : who
made the a rular and a iudge amonge vs ? (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.85)

What , wilt thou kyll me , as thou dyddest the Egyptian yester daye ?
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.86)

Then fleed Moses at that sayenge , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.87)

and was a stranger in the londe of Madian , where he begat two sonnes .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.88)

And when .xl. yeares were expired , ther appered to him in the
wyldernes of mounte Syna an angell of the Lorde in a flamme of fyre in
a busshe . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.89)

When Moses sawe it , he wondred at the syght .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.90)

And as he drue neare to beholde , the voyce of the Lorde came vnto him
: (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.91)

I am the God of thy fathers , the God of Abraham , the God of Isaac ,
and the God of Jacob . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.92)

Moses trembled (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.93)

and durst not beholde . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.94)

Then sayde the Lorde to him : Put of thy showes from thy fete ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.95)

for the place where thou stondest , is holy grounde .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.96)

I have perfectly sene the affliccion of my people which is in Egypte ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.97)

and I have hearde their gronynge , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.98)

and am come doune to delyver them . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.99)

And now come (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.100)

and I will sende the into Egypte . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.101)

This Moses whom they forsoke sayinge : who made the a ruelar and a
judge : the same God sent bothe a ruler and delyverer , by the hondes
of the angell which appered to him in the busshe .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.102)

And the same brought them out shewynge wonders and signes in Egypte ,
and in the reed see and in the wyldernes .xl. yeares .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.103)

This is that Moses which sayde vnto the chyldren of Israel : A Prophet
shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you of youre brethren lyke vnto
me , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.104)

him shall ye heare . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.105)

This is he that was in the congregacion , in the wyldernes with the
angell which spake to him in the mounte Syna , and with oure fathers .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.106)

This man receaved the worde of lyfe to geve vnto vs , to whom oure
fathers wolde not obeye but cast it from them ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,20A.107)

and in their hertes turned backe agayne into Egypte , <P_VII,40A>
sayinge vnto Aaron : Make vs goddes to goo before vs .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.108)

For this Moses that brought vs out of the londe of Egypte , we wote not
what is become of him . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.109)

And they made a calfe in those dayes , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.110)

and offered sacrifice vnto the ymage , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.111)

and reioysed in the workes of their awne hondes .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.112)

Then God turned him selfe ; (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.113)

and gave them vp , that they shuld worship the starres of the skye , as
it is written in the boke of the prophetes .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.114)

O ye of the housse of Israel , gave ye to me sacrefices and meate
offerynges , by the space of xl. yeares in the wildernes ?
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.115)

And ye toke vnto you the tabernacle of Moloch , and the starre of youre
god Remphan , figures which ye made to worshippe them .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.116)

And I will translate you beyonde Babylon . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.117)

Oure fathers had the tabernacle of witnes in the wyldernes , as he had
apoynted them speakynge vnto Moses , that he shuld make it acordynge to
the fassion that he had sene . Which tabernacle oure fathers receaved ,
and brought it in with Josue into the possession of the gentyls which
God drave out before the face of oure fathers vnto the tyme of David ,
which founde favour before God , and desyred that he myght fynde a
tabernacle for the God of Iacob . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.118)

$But {TEXT:Bnt} Salomon bylt him an housse .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.119)

How be it he that is hyest of all , dwelleth not in temple made with
hondes , as saith the Prophete : (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.120)

Heven is my seate , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.121)

and erth is my fote stole , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.122)

what housse will ye bylde for me sayth the Lorde ?
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.123)

or what place is it that I shuld rest in ? (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.124)

hath not my honde made all these thinges ? (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.125)

Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised hertes and eares : ye have all
wayes resisted the holy goost : (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.126)

as youre fathers dyd , so do ye . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.127)

Which of the prophetes have not youre fathers persecuted ?
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.128)

And they have slayne them , which shewed before of the commynge of that
iust , whom ye have now betrayed and mordred .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.129)

And ye also have receaved a lawe by the ordinaunce of angels ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.130)

and have not kept it . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.131)

When they hearde these thinges , their hertes clave a sunder ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.132)

and they gnasshed on him with their tethe . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.133)

But he beynge full of the holy goost , loked vp stedfastlye with his
eyes into heven (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.134)

and sawe the glorie of God , and Jesus stondynge on the ryght honde of
God , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.135)

and sayde : beholde , I se the hevens open , and the sonne of man
stondynge on the ryght honde of god . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.136)

Then they gave a shute with a loude voyce , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.137)

and stopped their eares (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.138)

and ranne apon him all at once , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.139)

and caste him out of the cite , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.140)

and stoned him . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.141)

And the witnesses layde doune their clothes at a yonge mannes fete
named Saul . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.142)

And they stoned Steven callynge on and sayinge : Lorde Iesu receave my
sprete . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,40A.143)

<P_VII,60A>

And he kneled doune (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,60A.145)

and cryed with a loude voyce : Lorde laye not this synne to their
charge . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VII,60A.146)

And when he had thus spoken , he fell a slepe .

Saul had pleasure in his deeth . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.152)

And at that tyme there was a great persecucion agaynst the congregacion
which was at Ierusalem , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.153)

and they were all scattered abroade thorowout the regions of Iury and
Samaria , except the Apostles . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.154)

Then devout men dressed Steven , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.155)

and made great lamentacion over him . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.156)

But Saul made havocke of the congregacion entrynge into every housse ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.157)

and drewe out bothe man and woman , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.158)

and thrust them into preson . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.159)

They that were scattered abroade , went every where preachyng the worde
. (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.160)

Then came Philip into a cite of Samaria (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.161)

and preached Christ vnto them . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.162)

And the people gave hede vnto those thinges which Philip spake , with
one acorde , in that they hearde and sawe the miracles which he dyd .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.163)

For vnclene spretes cryinge with loude voyce , came out of many that
were possessed of them . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.164)

And manye taken with palsies , and many that halted , were healed
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.165)

And ther was great ioye in that cite . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.166)

And ther was a certayne man called Simon , which before tyme in the
same cite , vsed witche crafte and bewitched the people of Samarie ,
sayinge , that he was a man that coulde do greate thinges . Whom they
regarded , from the lest to the greatest , sayinge : this felow is the
great power of God . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.167)

And him they set moche by , because of longe tyme with sorcery he had
mocked them . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.168)

But assone as they beleved Philippes preachynge of the kyngdome of God
and of the name of Iesu Christ , they were baptised bothe men and wemen
. (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.169)

Then Simon him selfe beleved also , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.170)

and was baptised , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.171)

and continued with Phillip , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.172)

and wondered beholdynge the miracles and signes , which were shewed .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.173)

When the Apostles which were at Jerusalem hearde saye that Samaria had
receaved the worde of God : they sent vnto them , Peter and Iohn ,
which when they were come , prayed for them , that they myght receave
the holy goost (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.174)

For as yet he was come on none of them : (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.175)

But they were baptised only in the name of Christ Iesu .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.176)

Then layde they their hondes on them , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.177)

and they receaved the holy goost . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.178)

When Simon sawe , that thorowe layinge on of the Apostles hondes on
them , the holy goost was geven : he offered them money sayinge : Geve
me also this power , that on whom soever I put the hondes , he maye
receave the holy goost . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.179)

<P_VIII,20A>

Then sayde Peter vnto him : thy monye perysh with the , because thou
wenest that the gifte of God maye be obteyned with money .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.181)

Thou hast nether parte nor felloushippe in this busines .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.182)

For thy hert is not ryght in the syght of God .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.183)

Repent therfore of this thy wickednes , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.184)

and praye God that the thought of thyne hert maye be forgeven the .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.185)

For I perceave that thou arte full of bitter gall , and wrapped in
iniquite . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.186)

Then answered Simon (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.187)

and sayde : Praye ye to the lorde for me that none of these thinges
whiche ye have spoken , fall on me . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.188)

And they , when they had testified and preached the worde of the lorde
, returned toward Jerusalem , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.189)

and preached the gospell in many cities of the Samaritans .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.190)

Then the angell of the lorde spake vnto Phillip sayinge : aryse
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.191)

and goo towardes mydde daye vnto the waye that goeth doune from
Ierusalem vnto Gaza which is in the desert .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.192)

And he arose (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.193)

and went on . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.194)

And beholde a man of Ethiopia which was a chamberlayne , and of grete
auctorite with Candace quene of the Ethiopians , and had the rule of
all her treasure , came to Jerusalem forto praye .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.195)

And as he returned home agayne sittynge in his charet , he rede Esay
the prophet . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.196)

Then the sprete sayde unto Phillip : Goo neare
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.197)

and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.198)

And Philip ranne to him , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.199)

and hearde him rede the prophet Esayas (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.200)

and sayde : Vnderstondest thou what thou redest ?
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.201)

And he sayd : how can I , except I had a gyde ?
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.202)

And he desyred Philip that he wold come vp and sit with him .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,20A.203)

But beholde ther cometh one after me , whose shewes of his fete I am

And when they had fulfilled all that were written of him , they toke
him doune from the tree (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,20A.605)

But God raysed him agayne from deeth , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,20A.607)

and he was sene many dayes of them which came with him from Galile to
Jerusalem . Which are his witnesses vnto the people .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,20A.608)

And we declare vnto you , how that the promes made vnto the fathers ,

Wherfore he saith also in another place : Thou shalt not soffre thyne

Howbe it David after he had in his tyme fulfilled the will of God , he

<P_XIII,40A>

Beware therfore lest that fall on you , which is spoken of in the
Prophetes : Be holde ye despisers (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.619)

for I do aworke in youre dayes , which ye shall not beleve , yf a man

When they were come out of the Synagoge of the Iewes , the gentyls
besought that they wolde preache the worde to them bitwene the Saboth

When the congregacion was broken vp , many of the Jewes and verteous

them to continue in the grace of God . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.624)

And the nexte Saboth daye , came almoste the whole cite to gether , to

When the Iewes sawe the people , they were full of indignacion

and spake agaynst those thinges which were spoken of Paul , spekinge
agaynst it , and raylinge on it . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.627)

Then Paul and Barnabus wexed bolde , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.628)

But seinge ye put it from you , and thinke youre selfes onworthy of

(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.630)

For so hath the Lorde commaunded vs : I have made the a light to the

(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.631)

The gentyls hearde (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.632)

and were glad (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.633)

and glorified the worde of the Lorde , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.634)

and beleved : even as many as were ordeyned vnto eternall lyfe .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.635)

And the worde of the Lorde was publisshed thorowe oute all the region .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.636)

But the Jewes moved the worshypfull and honorable wemen , and the chefe
men of the cyte , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.637)

and reysed persecucion agaynst Paul and Barnabas ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.638)

and expelled them oute of their costes . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIII,40A.639)

And they shouke of the duste of their fete agaynste them ,

Longe tyme a bode they there (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.651)

and quyt them selves boldly with the helpe of the Lorde , the which
gave testimony vnto the worde of his grace , and caused signes and
wondres to be done by their hondes . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.652)

The people of the cyte were devided : (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.653)

and parte helde with the Jewes , and parte with the Apostles .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.654)

When ther was a saute made both of the gentyls and also of the Iewes
with their rulers , to put them to shame and to stone them , they were
ware of it , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.655)

and fled vnto Listra and Derba , cities of Licaonia , and vnto the
region that lyeth round aboute , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.656)

and there preached the gospell . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.657)

And ther sate a certayne man at Listra weake in his fete , beinge

And he stert vp , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.661)

And when the people sawe what Paul had done , they lifte vp their

And they called Barnabas Iupiter , and Paul Mercurius , because he was

Then Iupiters Preste , which dwelt before their cite , brought oxen and
garlondes vnto the churche porche , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.665)

and wolde have done sacrifise with the people .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.666)

But when the Apostles , Barnabas and Paul herde that , they rent their

We are mortall men lyke unto you , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.669)

and preache unto you , that ye shuld turne from these vanyties vnto the

Neverthelesse he lefte not him selfe with outen witnes , in that he

ceasons , fyllinge oure hertes with fode and gladnes .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.671)

And with these sayinges , scarse {TEXT:scase} refrayned they the people
, that they had not done sacrifice vnto them .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.672)

Thither came certayne Jewes , from Antioche and Iconium ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.673)

and optayned the peoples consent (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,1A.674)

After they had preached to that cite and had taught many , they

And when they had ordened them elders by eleccion in every congregacion

And they went thorow out Pisidia (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,20A.684)

and thence departed by shippe to Antioche , from whence they were
delivered vnto the grace of God , to the worke which they had fulfilled
. (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XIV,20A.687)

When they were come and had gaddered the congregacion to gedder , they

and taught the brethren : excepte ye be circumcysed after the maner of
Moses , ye $can $not {TEXT:cannot} be saved . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.695)

And when ther was rysen dissencion and disputinge not alitle vnto Paul
and Barnabas agaynst them . They determined that Paul and Barnabas and
certayne other of them shuld ascende to Jerusalem vnto the Apostles and
elders aboute this question . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.696)

And after they were brought on their waye by the congregacion , they
passed over Phenices and Samaria , declarynge the conuersion of the
gentyls , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.697)

and they brought great ioye vnto all the brethren .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.698)

And when they were come to Jerusalem , they were receaved of the
congregacion and of the Apostles and elders . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.699)

And they declared what thinges God had done by them .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.700)

Then arose ther vp certayne that were of the secte of the Pharises and
dyd beleve sayinge , that it was nedfull to circumcise them and to
enioyne them to kepe the lawe of Moses . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.701)

And the Apostles and elders came to geder to reason of this matter .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.702)

And when ther was moche disputinge , Peter rose vp
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.703)

and sayde vnto them : Ye men and brethren , ye knowe how that a good
whyle agoo , God chose amonge vs that the gentyls by my mouth shuld
heare the worde of the gospell and beleve . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.704)

And God which knoweth the herte , bare them witnes ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.705)

and gave vnto them the holy goost , even as he dyd vnto vs ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.706)

(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.707)

but with fayth $purified $their {TEXT:purifiedtheir} hertes .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.708)

Now therfore why tempte ye God , that ye wolde put a yoke on the

. (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.709)

But we beleve that thorowe the grace of the Lorde Iesu Christ we $shall
$be {TEXT:shalbe} saved , as they doo . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.710)

Then all the multitude was peased (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.711)

and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul , which tolde what signes and
wondres God had shewed amonge the gentyls , by them .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.712)

And when they helde their peace , Iames answered sayinge : Men and

Simeon tolde how God at the begynnynge dyd visit the gentyls , and

And to this agreith the wordes of the Prophetes , as it is written .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.715)

After this I will returne , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.716)

and wyll bylde agayne the tabernacle of David which is fallen doune ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.717)

and that which is fallen in dekey of it , will I bilde agayne ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.718)

and I will set it vp , that the residue of men might seke after the
Lorde , and also the gentyls vpon whom my name is named saith the Lorde
, which doth all these thinges : (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,1A.719)

known vnto God are all his workes from the begynninge of the worlde .
Wherfore my sentence is , that we trouble not them which from amonge
the gentyls , are turned to God : <P_XV,20A> but that we write vnto
them that they abstayne them selves from filthynes of ymages , from
fornicacion , from stranglyd and from bloude .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,20A.720)

For Moses of olde tyme hath in every cite that preache him ,

and he is rede in the synagoges every saboth daye .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,20A.722)

Then pleased it the Apostles and elders with the whole congregacion ,

The Apostles , elders and brethren send gretynges vnto the brethren
which are of the gentyls in Antioche , Siria and Celicia .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,20A.726)

For as moche as we have hearde that certayne which departed from vs ,

and gaddred the multitude togeder (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,20A.732)

When they had redde it , they reioysed of that consolacion .

And Iudas and Sylas beinge prophetes , exhorted the brethren with moche

Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioche teachynge and preachynge the

But after a certayne space , Paul sayde vnto Barnabas : Let vs goo

worde of the Lorde , and se how they do . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,20A.739)

And Barnabas gave counsell to take with them Iohn , called also Marke .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,20A.740)

But Paul thought it not mete to take him vnto their company whiche
departed from them at Pamphylia , and went not with them to the worke .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XV,20A.741)

And the dissencion was so sharpe bitwene them , that they departed a

(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.749)

The same Paul wolde that he shuld goo forth with him ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.750)

and toke (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.751)

and circumcised him because of the Jewes , which were in those quarters
: (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.752)

for they knewe all that his father was a Greke .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.753)

As they went thorow the cities , they delyvered them the decrees for to

And so were the congregacions stablisshed in the fayth ,

When they had goone thorow out Phrigia , and the region of Galacia ,

But the sprete soffered them not . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.759)

Then they went over Misia , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.760)

and cam doune to Troada . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.761)

And a vision appered to Paul in the nyght . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.762)

There stode a man of Macedonia (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.763)

and prayed him sayinge : come into Macedonia (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.764)

After he had sene the vision , immediatly we prepared to goo into

Then lowsed we forth from Troada , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.767)

We were in that cite abydynge a certayne dayes .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.769)

And on the saboth dayes we went out of the cite besydes a ryver where

and we sate doune (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.771)

And a certayne woman named Lydia , a seller of purple , of the cite of
Thiatira , which worshipped God , gave vs audience . Whose hert the

And she constrayned vs . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,1A.776)

And it fortuned as we went to prayer , a certayn damsell possessed with

and commaunded them to be beaten with roddes .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.790)

And when they had beaten them sore , they cast them into preson ,
commaundynge the iayler to kepe them surely . Which iayler when he had

made their fete fast in the stockes . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.791)

At mydnyght Paul and Sylas prayed , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.792)

and came tremblynge , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.804)

and fell doune before Paul and Sylas , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.805)

and brought them out (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.806)

and sayde : Syrs , what must I do to be saved ?
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.807)

And they sayde : beleve on the Lorde Jesus (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.808)

and thou shalt be saved and thy housholde . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.809)

And they preached unto him the worde of the Lorde , and to all that
were in his housse . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.810)

And he toke them the same houre of the nyght
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.811)

and wasshed their woundes , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.812)

and was baptised with all that belonged vnto him strayght waye .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.813)

When he had brought them into his housse , he set meate before them ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.814)

and ioyed that he with all his housholde , $beleved {TEXT:boleved} on
God . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.815)

And when it was daye , the officers sent the ministres sayinge : Let
those men goo . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.816)

The keper of the preson tolde this sayinge to Paul , the officiers have
sent worde to lowse you . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.817)

Now therfore get you hence (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.818)

and goo in peace . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.819)

Then sayde Paul vnto them : they have beaten vs openly vncomdempned ,
for all that we are Romayns , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.820)

and have cast vs into preson : (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.821)

and now wolde they sende vs awaye prevely ? (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.822)

Naye not so , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.823)

but let them come them selves and fet vs out .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.824)

When the ministres tolde these wordes vnto the officers , they feared
when they hearde that they were Romayns , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.825)

and came (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.826)

and besought them , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.827)

and brought them out , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.828)

and desyred them to departe out of the cite .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,20A.829)

<P_XVI,40A>

And they went out of the preson (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,40A.831)

and entred into the housse of Lidia , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,40A.832)

and when they had sene the brethren , they comforted them
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,40A.833)

and departed . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVI,40A.834)

<P_XVII,1A>

The .xvii. Chapter . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.837)

</heading>

As they made their iorney thorow Amphipolis , and Appolonia , they came
to Thessalonica where was a synagoge of the Iewes .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.839)

And Paul as his maner was , went in vnto them ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.840)

and thre saboth dayes declared oute of the scripture vnto them ,
openynge and allegynge that Christ must nedes have suffred and rysen
agayne from deeth , and that this Iesus was Christ , whom <paren> sayde
he </paren> I preache to you . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.841)

And some of them beleved and came and companyed with Paul and Sylas :
also of the honourable Grekes a greate multitude , and of the chefe
wemen , not a feawe . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.842)

But the Iewes which beleved not , havynge indignacion , toke vnto them
evyll men which were vagabondes , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.843)

and gadered a company , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.844)

and set all the cite on a roore , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.845)

and made asaute vnto the housse of Iason , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.846)

and sought to bringe them out to the people .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.847)

But when they founde them not , they drue Iason and certayne brethren
vnto the heedes of the cite cryinge : these that trouble the worlde ,
are come hydder also , which Iason hath receaved prevely .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.848)

And these all do contrary to the elders of Cesar , affirmynge another
kynge , one Iesus . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.849)

And they troubled the people and the officers of the cite when they
hearde these thinges . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.850)

And when they were sufficiently answered of Iason , and of the other ,
they let them goo . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.851)

And the brethren immediatly sent awaye Paul and Sylas by nyght vnto
Berrea . Which when they were come thyther , they entred into the
synagoge of the Iewes . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.852)

These were the noblest of byrthe amonge them of Thessalonia which
receaved the worde with all diligence of mynde ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.853)

and searched the scriptures dayly whether those thinges were even so .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.854)

And many of them beleved : also of worshipfull wemen which were Grekes
, and of men not afeawe . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.855)

When the Jewes , of Thessalonia had knowledge that the worde of God was
preached of Paul at Berrea , they came there
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.856)

and moved the people . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.857)

And then by and by the brethren sent awaye Paul to goo as it were to
the see : (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.858)

but Sylas and Timotheus abode there still . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.859)

And they that gyded Paul , brought him vnto Attens ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.860)

and receaved a commaundment vnto Sylas and Timotheus for to come to him
atonce , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.861)

and came their waye . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.862)

Whyll Paul wayted for them at Attens , his sprete was moved in him , to
se the cite geven to worshippinge of ymages .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.863)

Then he disputed in the synagoge with the Iewes , and with the devout
persones , and in the market dayly with them that came vnto him .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.864)

Certayne philosophers of the Epicures and of the stoyckes , disputed
with him . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.865)

And some ther were which sayde : what will this babler saye .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.866)

Other sayd : he semeth to be a tydynges bringer of newe devyls ,
because he preached vnto them Iesus and the resurreccion .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.867)

And they toke him , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.868)

and brought him into Marsestrete sayinge : maye we not knowe what this
newe doctrine wher of thou speakest , is ? (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,1A.869)

<P_XVII,20A>

For thou bringest straunge tydynges to oure eares .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.871)

We wolde knowe therfore what these thinges meane .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.872)

For all the Attenians and straungers which were there , gave them
selves to nothinge els , but ether to tell or to heare newe tydynges .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.873)

Paul stode in the myddes of Marse strete (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.874)

and sayde : ye men of Attens , I perceave that in all thinges ye are to
supersticious . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.875)

For as I passed by and behelde the maner how ye worship youre goddes ,
I founde an aultre wher in was written : vnto the vnknowen god . Whom
ye then ignorantly worship , (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.876)

him shewe I vnto you . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.877)

God that made the worlde and all that are in it , seynge that he is
Lorde of heven and erth , he dwelleth not in temples made with hondes ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.878)

nether is worshipped with mennes hondes , as though he neded of eny
thinge , seinge he him selfe geveth lyfe and breeth to all men every
where , and hath made of one bloud all nacions of men , for to dwell on
all the face of the erthe , and hath assigned , before how longe tyme ,
and also the endes of their inhabitacion , that they shuld seke God ,
yf they myght fele and fynde him , though he be not farre from every
one of vs . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.879)

For in him we lyve , move and have oure beynge , as certayne of youre
awne Poetes sayde . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.880)

For we are also his generacion . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.881)

For as moche then as we are the generacion of God , we ought not to
thynke that the godhed is lyke vnto golde , silver or stone , graven by
crafte and ymaginacion of man . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.882)

And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not :
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.883)

but now he byddeth all men every where repent , because he hath
apoynted a daye , in the which he will iudge the worlde acordynge to
ryghtewesses , by that man whom he hath apoynted , and hath offered
faith to all men , after that he had raysed him from deeth .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.884)

When they hearde of the resurreccion from deeth , some mocked ,
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.885)

and other sayde : we will heare the agayne of this matter .
(TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.886)

So Paul departed from amonge them . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.887)

Howbeit certayne men clave vnto Paul (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.888)

and beleved , amonge the which was Dionysius a senatour , and a woman
named Damaris , and other with them . (TYNDNEW-E1-P2,XVII,20A.889)
