Acts 165-10

• So the churches were being strengthened in the
  faith, and were increasing in number daily.
• And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian
  region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit
  to speak the word in Asia
• and when they had come to Mysia, they were trying
  to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did
  not permit them
• and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
• And a vision appeared to Paul in the night a
  certain man of Macedonia was standing and
  appealing to him, and saying, Come over to
  Macedonia and help us.
• And when he had seen the vision, immediately we
  sought to go into Macedonia, concluding that God
  had called us to preach the gospel to them.

• In sending the gospel into Macedonia, therefore,
  the Lord was sending it to the people most
  advanced in civilization and the arts. After
  starting the work in Macedonia and in Greece, the
  good tidings were later sent to Rome, and from
  these, then the centers of civilization, the
  gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ has spread
  northward through Europe and westward through
  America, and has been the instrumentality for
  producing the highest types of civilization that
  the world has ever known and this in proportion
  as the Word of God has been free, and has been
  received into good and honest hearts.

   out, saying, These men are bond-servants of the
   Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way
   of salvation.
2. And she continued doing this for many days. But
   Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to
   the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus
   Christ to come out of her! And it came out at
   that very moment.

Acts 1619-21

1. But when her masters saw that their hope of
   profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and
   dragged them into the market place before the

   our city into confusion, being Jews,
3. and are proclaiming customs which it is not
   lawful for us to accept or to observe, being
   Romans.

Acts 175-7

1. But the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along
   some wicked men from the market place, formed a
   mob and set the city in an uproar and coming
   upon the house of Jason, they were seeking to
   bring them out to the people.

   dragging Jason and some brethren before the city
   authorities, shouting, These men who have upset
   the world have come here also
3. and Jason has welcomed them, and they all act
   contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that
   there is another king, Jesus.

• Without a miracle no other one of the apostles
  would have been competent to secure a hearing
  before the Athenian Council of the
  Areopagitescomposed of the teachers of the
  various schools of learning, and generally
  speaking, of the reputedly wisest men of the
  world. That the Apostle Paul, without letters of
  introduction, without political or other
  influence, serving as such, should succeed in a
  few days in obtaining an invitation to address
  this august body of men, indicates clearly that
  he was a man of remarkable talent, as well as
  learning. These natural qualities in him were
  reinforced by the spirit of a sound mind, the
  spirit of the Lord, the spirit of the divine
  revelation, the true Gospel.

• I perceive that more than others you Athenians
  have respect for whatever is divine. The
  conviction of this came to me as passing through
  your city I beheld the various evidences of your
  devoutness, and amongst other altars noticed one
  with the inscription, To the Unknown God.
  Information regarding this God I am setting
  forth. He is the God that made the world and
  everything therein, and is the Lord of heaven and
  earth

  hands, for he is the Lord of heaven as well as

  all things who himself created every nation of
  men dwelling throughout all the earthand even
  all their affairs are subject to his regulations
  and appointments.
