to Apphia the beloved, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church at your house:

And according to Paul's custom, he went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

interpreting and pointing out that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to arise from the dead, and [saying] that "This is the Christ, Jesus, whom I proclaim to you."

And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

for he was powerfully refuting the Jews publicly, demonstrating by the Scriptures [that] Jesus was the Messiah.

And he entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, debating and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.

Therefore, having obtained help from God, until this day I stand, witnessing both to common [people] and great [people], saying nothing except the things which both the prophets and Moses spoke of as being about to happen,

that the Christ was to suffer, that as the first to rise from the dead, He was about to proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."

And now for the hope of the promise having been made by God to the fathers, I stand before you judged,

Therefore, having obtained help from God, until this day I stand, witnessing both to common [people] and great [people], saying nothing except the things which both the prophets and Moses spoke of as being about to happen,

Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?"

And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me."

And a certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, being overwhelmed by a deep sleep. While Paul was speaking for a while longer, having been overwhelmed by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.

And going up and breaking bread and eating, and talking for a considerable time, until daybreak, thus he departed.

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.
