Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand and said:“ Fellow Israelites and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me!

Paul stood up and motioned with his hand. Then he said,“ Fellow Israelites, and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me!

So Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said:“ Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen.

Paul stood up and motioned with his hand and said,“ Fellow Israelites, and you who fear God, listen!

Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said,“ Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen:

Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said,“ Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen:

And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:

Then Paul stood up and motioned with his hand and said:“ Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen!

Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with[ his] hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

So Paul stood up, gestured with his hand and said,“ Men of Israel, and you Gentiles who fear God, listen:

Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said,“ Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

He motioned for them to quiet down and told them how the Lord had led him out of prison.“ Tell James and the other brothers what happened,” he said. And then he went to another place.

“ Brothers— you sons of Abraham, and also you God fearing Gentiles— this message of salvation has been sent to us!

He was a devout, God fearing man, as was everyone in his household. He gave generously to the poor and prayed regularly to God.

O my people, listen to my instructions. Open your ears to what I am saying,for I will speak to you in a parable. I will teach you hidden lessons from our past—

“ People of Israel, listen! God publicly endorsed Jesus the Nazarene by doing powerful miracles, wonders, and signs through him, as you well know.

The crowd listened until Paul said that word. Then they all began to shout,“ Away with such a fellow! He isn’t fit to live!”

O Levites, praise the Lord! All you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord!

Then Peter stepped forward with the eleven other apostles and shouted to the crowd,“ Listen carefully, all of you, fellow Jews and residents of Jerusalem! Make no mistake about this.

Listen to this, all you people! Pay attention, everyone in the world!High and low, rich and poor— listen!For my words are wise, and my thoughts are filled with insight.

he added:“ Take to heart all the words of warning I have given you today. Pass them on as a command to your children so they will obey every word of these instructions.These instructions are not empty words— they are your life! By obeying them you will enjoy a long life in the land you will occupy when you cross the Jordan River.”

Then they will fear you as long as they live in the land you gave to our ancestors.

“ Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.

Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and declared,“ It was necessary that we first preach the word of God to you Jews. But since you have rejected it and judged yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we will offer it to the Gentiles.

“ Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. Whoever is victorious will not be harmed by the second death.

The commander agreed, so Paul stood on the stairs and motioned to the people to be quiet. Soon a deep silence enveloped the crowd, and he addressed them in their own language, Aramaic.“ Brothers and esteemed fathers,” Paul said,“ listen to me as I offer my defense.”

As Paul and Barnabas left the synagogue that day, the people begged them to speak about these things again the next week.Many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, and the two men urged them to continue to rely on the grace of God.

“ Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. To everyone who is victorious I will give fruit from the tree of life in the paradise of God.

Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!

Yes, God will bless us, and people all over the world will fear him.

In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right.

But as for me, I am filled with power— with the Spirit of the Lord. I am filled with justice and strength to boldly declare Israel’s sin and rebellion.Listen to me, you leaders of Israel! You hate justice and twist all that is right.

Peter saw his opportunity and addressed the crowd.“ People of Israel,” he said,“ what is so surprising about this? And why stare at us as though we had made this man walk by our own power or godliness?

“ Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. To everyone who is victorious I will give some of the manna that has been hidden away in heaven. And I will give to each one a white stone, and on the stone will be engraved a new name that no one understands except the one who receives it.

Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, so our land will be filled with his glory.

He shows mercy from generation to generation to all who fear him.

The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander forward and told him to explain the situation. He motioned for silence and tried to speak.

But the other criminal protested,“ Don’t you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die?
