¹⁵ You are aware that ^(A)all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

¹⁰ This continued for ^(A)two years, so that ^(B)all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

⁹ Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen.

^11 (A)In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, ^(B)from Assyria, ^(C)from Egypt, from ^(D)Pathros, from ^(E)Cush,^[a] from ^(F)Elam, from ^(G)Shinar, from ^(H)Hamath, and from ^(I)the coastlands of the sea.
