upon him a mist and a darkness, and, as he walked about,
he begged people to lead him by the hand.
013:012 Then the Proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being struck
with amazement at the teaching of the Lord.
013:013 From Paphos, Paul and his party put out to sea and sailed
to Perga in Pamphylia. John, however, left them and
returned to Jerusalem.
013:014 But they themselves, passing through from Perga, came to
Antioch in Pisidia. Here, on the Sabbath day, they went
into the synagogue and sat down.
013:015 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the Wardens
of the synagogue sent word to them. "Brethren," they said,
"if you have anything encouraging to say to the people, speak."
013:016 So Paul rose, and motioning with his hand for silence, said,

013:020 and afterwards He gave them judges down to the time of
the Prophet Samuel.
013:021 Next they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son
of Kish, a Benjamite, who reigned forty years.
013:022 After removing him, He raised up David to be their king,
to whom He also bore witness when He said, "`I have found David
the son of Jesse, a man I love, who will obey all My commands.'
