00:15 Hi, and welcome again to HIS WORDS ARE LIFE
00:19 I'm Kelly Mowrer
00:20 We'll be reading today from the King James Version in the
00:23 book of Acts,
00:24 But before we start let's pray together.
00:26 Dear Jesus, thank You so much for coming down here to become
00:32 for us the way to live with You forever,
00:35 and that day, we want that to come soon,
00:38 but until that time, thank you also, for this bible that we can
00:43 read to know more about You,
00:45 and today as we read about Your disciples and how they went out
00:50 and spread the word, please show us if there's anything more that
00:53 You would have us to do to take your good news around, and
00:56 we love You so much, thank you, Amen.
01:00 We're reading today from the book of Acts in the King James
01:04 Version, and we're in chapter 10.
01:06 When we were last together, we were reading about Cornelius
01:08 who had gathered together a bunch of his friends and
01:11 family, and then gone and brought Peter to preach the word
01:14 of God to them (Gentiles).
01:15 Peter came and the Holy Ghost was poured out on them,
01:18 and everyone rejoiced.
01:21 We're picking up in verse 45.
01:24 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished,
01:28 as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles
01:33 also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
01:36 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.
01:39 Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should
01:44 not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost
01:47 as well as we?
01:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name
01:51 of the Lord.
01:52 Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
01:56 Reading on in chapter 11.
01:58 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea heard that
02:02 the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
02:04 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the
02:08 circumcision contended with him, saying, Thou wentest in to men
02:14 uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
02:17 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning,
02:21 and expounded it by order unto them, saying, I was in the city
02:26 of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain
02:31 vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from
02:35 heaven by four corners; and it came even to me: upon the which
02:40 when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw
02:44 four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping
02:49 things, and fowls of the air.
02:51 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
02:56 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath
03:02 at any time entered into my mouth.
03:04 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath
03:09 cleansed, that call not thou common.
03:14 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again
03:18 into heaven.
03:19 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto
03:22 the house were I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
03:26 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting.
03:30 Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered
03:34 into the man's house: and he showed us how he had seen an
03:37 angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to
03:41 Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; who shall tell
03:45 thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
03:50 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them,
03:55 as on us at the beginning.
03:57 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said,
04:01 John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with
04:06 the Holy Ghost.
04:07 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us,
04:13 who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I could
04:18 withstand God?
04:19 When they heard these things, they held their peace,
04:23 and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles
04:29 granted repentance unto life.
04:32 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that
04:36 arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus,
04:40 and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
04:44 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which,
04:49 when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians,
04:52 preaching the Lord Jesus.
04:54 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number
04:58 believed, and turned unto the Lord.
05:01 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church
05:05 which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas,
05:09 that he should go as far as Antioch.
05:11 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad,
05:17 and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would
05:20 cleave unto the Lord.
05:22 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith:
05:26 and much people was added unto the Lord.
05:29 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
05:34 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch.
05:38 And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled
05:42 themselves with the church, and taught much people.
05:45 And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
05:49 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
05:54 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by
05:58 the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the
06:02 world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
06:07 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability,
06:10 determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in
06:14 Judea: which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the
06:18 hands of Barnabas and Saul.
06:21 We're reading from the King James Version in the book
06:24 of Acts, and now we're starting chapter 12.
06:27 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands
06:33 to vex certain of the church.
06:36 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
06:40 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further
06:44 to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleaven bread)
06:48 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison,
06:52 and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep
06:57 him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
07:01 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made
07:06 without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
07:10 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same
07:15 night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two
07:19 chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
07:24 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light
07:28 shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side,
07:31 and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly.
07:33 And his chains fell off from his hands.
07:36 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on
07:40 thy sandals. And so he did.
07:43 And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee,
07:46 and follow me.
07:47 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was
07:52 true which was done by the angel; but thought he
07:54 saw a vision.
07:55 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came
08:00 unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to
08:03 them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on
08:07 through one street; and forthwith the angel
08:10 departed from him.
08:11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of
08:16 a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath
08:20 delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the
08:23 expectation of the people of the Jews.
08:25 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of
08:29 Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many
08:34 were gathered together praying.
08:36 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to
08:40 harken, named Rhoda.
08:42 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate
08:45 for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood
08:48 before the gate.
08:49 And they said unto her, Thou art mad.
08:53 But she constantly affirmed that it was even so.
08:56 Then said they, It is his angel.
08:59 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the
09:02 door, and saw him, they were astonished.
09:06 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace,
09:11 declared unto them how the Lord had brought him
09:13 out of the prison.
09:15 And he said, Go show these things unto James,
09:18 and to the brethren.
09:19 And he departed, and went into another place.
09:22 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the
09:26 soldiers, what was become of Peter.
09:28 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not,
09:32 he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be
09:35 put to death.
09:37 And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and there abode.
09:41 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon:
09:46 but they came with one accord to him, and having made Blastus
09:51 the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace;
09:55 because their country was nourished by the king's country.
09:58 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel,
10:03 sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
10:07 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice
10:10 of a god, and not of a man.
10:13 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave
10:18 not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms,
10:22 and gave up the ghost.
10:24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
10:27 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had
10:30 fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John,
10:33 whose surname was Mark.
10:35 We're reading from the book of Acts, and we are now beginning
10:38 chapter 13.
10:39 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain
10:44 prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was
10:48 called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had
10:52 been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
10:55 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said,
10:59 Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto
11:03 I have called them.
11:04 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on
11:08 them, they sent them away.
11:10 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto
11:14 Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
11:18 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God
11:22 in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John
11:25 to their minister.
11:26 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found
11:30 a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name
11:35 was Bar-jesus: which was with the deputy of the country,
11:39 Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and
11:43 Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
11:46 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation)
11:51 withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
11:57 Then Saul, (who is also called Paul) filled with the
12:01 Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, and said, O full of all subtlety
12:07 and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all
12:11 righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right
12:15 ways of the Lord?
12:16 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee,
12:20 and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season.
12:24 And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness;
12:30 and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12:34 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed,
12:37 being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
12:40 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to
12:44 Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned
12:48 to Jerusalem.
12:49 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch
12:53 in Psidia, and went into the synagogue on the
12:55 sabbath day, and sat down.
12:57 And after the reading of the law and the prophets,
13:00 the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and
13:04 brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people,
13:07 say on.
13:08 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said,
13:13 Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
13:17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted
13:22 the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt,
13:25 and with a high arm brought he them out of it.
13:29 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners
13:33 in the wilderness.
13:34 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan,
13:38 he divided their land to them by lot.
13:41 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of
13:45 four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
13:49 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them
13:53 Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin,
13:57 by the space of forty years.
13:59 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David
14:03 to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said,
14:07 I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own
14:12 heart, which shall fulfill all my will.
14:16 Of this man's seed hath God, according to his promise,
14:20 raised unto Israel a Savior, Jesus:
14:24 Oh that we all be called by God; men and women after His
14:30 own heart.
14:31 thank you for joining us today, and until next time.
14:34 Goodbye.
