⁵ What they said pleased the whole community, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch.^(A)

⁸ The next day we left and came to Caesarea, and we went into the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the seven, and stayed with him.^(A)

⁴⁰ But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he was passing through the region he proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

³⁵ Then Philip began to speak, and starting with this scripture he proclaimed to him the good news about Jesus.^{(A) 36} As they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?”^[a](B)

¹¹ For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ.^(A)

²³ but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to gentiles,^(A)

⁴² And every day in the temple and at home^[a] they did not cease to teach and proclaim Jesus as the Messiah.^[b](A)

² For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

² And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days argued with them from the scriptures,^{(A) 3} explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Messiah^[a] to suffer and to rise from the dead and saying, “This is the Messiah,^[b] Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you.”^(B)
