²³ So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, ^(A)to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus ^(B)from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening.

^8 (A)And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading ^(B)concerning the things of the kingdom of God.

² Then Paul, as his custom was, ^(A)went in to them, and for three Sabbaths ^(B)reasoned with them from the Scriptures, ³ explaining and demonstrating ^(C)that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.”

²⁸ for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, ^(A)showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

²² Therefore, having obtained help from God, to this day I stand, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those ^(A)which the prophets and ^(B)Moses said would come— ^23 (C)that the Christ would suffer, ^(D)that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and ^(E)would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.”

^26 (A)Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His ^(B)glory?” ²⁷ And beginning at ^(C)Moses and ^(D)all the Prophets, He ^[a]expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

^6 (A)And now I stand and am judged for the hope of ^(B)the promise made by God to our fathers.

⁹ And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. ¹⁰ But Paul went down, ^(A)fell on him, and embracing him said, ^(B)“Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.” ¹¹ Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed.
