"And it shall be in the last days", says God, "that I will pour from My Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;"

"And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Behold I [am here], Lord."

And he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, in order that he might see again."

About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, "Cornelius!"

And he became hungry and wanted to eat; but while they were preparing, a trance fell on him.

in which were all the four-footed [animals] of the earth and the wild animals, and the reptiles, and the birds of the air.

But Peter said, "By no means, Lord! For never did I eat anything common or unclean."

And this happened three times, and again the vessel was taken up into heaven.

"I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel coming down like a great sheet, being lowered by the four corners from heaven; and it came as far as me;

And I heard a voice saying to me, 'Arise, Peter; kill and eat.'

"But the voice answered me a second [time] from heaven, 'What God has made clean, you must not call common.'

And behold, immediately three men stood before the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

Now the Lord spoke to Paul by a vision in the night, "Fear not, but speak, and do not keep silent;

for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you; for I have many people in this city."

"And it happened to me, having returned to Jerusalem and praying in the temple, that I came to be in a trance

"And I said, 'Lord, they know that in every synagogue I was imprisoning and beating those believing on You.

"Then He said to me, 'Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'"

For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong, whom also I serve,

saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; for it is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those sailing with you.'

It is indeed not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord:

And I know such a man--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows--

Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, solemnly bearing witness to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

When these things were fulfilled, Paul resolved in his spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

For Macedonia and Achaia thought it good to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side; outside [were] fightings, inside [were] fears.

Now we make known to you brothers, the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia,

for I know your readiness, about which I boast concerning you to the Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared since last year, and your zeal has provoked the majority.

and when I was present with you, and in need, I did not burden anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. And in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and so I will keep myself.

so that you became patterns to all those who believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

For from you the word of the Lord has resounded, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.

For indeed you do so toward all the brothers in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you increase more and more,

Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Get up and go toward the south on the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." This is desolate.

and he was returning. And sitting upon his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

And Phillip, running up to it, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Indeed, do you know what you are reading?"

Now since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was in Joppa, sent to him, urging him not to delay in coming to them.

Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, whose surname is Peter. He is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, beside the sea. Who arriving, will speak to you.'

"Therefore immediately I sent to you, and you have done well to come. Now then we are all present before God, to hear all the things having been commanded you by God."

And he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying to him, 'Send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter,

'who will speak words to you by which you and all your household shall be saved.'

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear apart from a preacher?

And how shall they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those preaching the gospel of good things!"
