PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE LUKE LUK 1:1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, LUK 1:2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; LUK 1:3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, LUK 1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. ACT 1:1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, ACT 1:2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: ACT 16:10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them. ACT 16:11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis; ACT 16:12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days. ACT 16:13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither. ACT 20:5 These going before tarried for us at Troas. ACT 20:6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days. ACT 21:1 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara: ACT 21:2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth. ACT 21:3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden. ACT 21:4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. ACT 21:5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed. ACT 21:6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again. ACT 21:7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. ACT 21:8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. ACT 21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. ACT 21:10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. ACT 21:11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. ACT 21:12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. ACT 21:13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. ACT 21:14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done. ACT 21:15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem. ACT 21:16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge. ACT 21:17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. ACT 21:18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. ACT 27:1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band. ACT 27:2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. ACT 27:3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. ACT 27:4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. ACT 27:5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. ACT 27:6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein. ACT 27:7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; ACT 27:8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. ACT 27:9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, ACT 27:10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. ACT 27:11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. ACT 27:12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west. ACT 27:13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete. ACT 27:14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. ACT 27:15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. ACT 27:16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat: ACT 27:17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven. ACT 27:18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; ACT 27:19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. ACT 27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away. ACT 27:21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. ACT 27:22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. ACT 27:23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, ACT 27:24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. ACT 27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. ACT 27:26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island. ACT 27:27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country; ACT 27:28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. ACT 27:29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. ACT 27:30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, ACT 27:31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. ACT 27:32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. ACT 27:33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. ACT 27:34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. ACT 27:35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. ACT 27:36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. ACT 27:37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. ACT 27:38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. ACT 27:39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship. ACT 27:40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. ACT 27:41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. ACT 27:42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape. ACT 27:43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: ACT 27:44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land. ACT 28:1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. ACT 28:2 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. ACT 28:11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. ACT 28:12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. ACT 28:13 And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli: ACT 28:14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome. ACT 28:15 And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage. ACT 28:16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
