⁷ So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone.

² And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and ^(A)it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

²⁰ “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people ^(A)all the words of this life.”

²¹ And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught. ^(B)But the high priest and those with him came and called the ^[a]council together, with all the ^[b]elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

Apostles on Trial Again

²² But when the officers came and did not find them in the prison, they returned and reported, ²³ saying, “Indeed we found the prison shut securely, and the guards standing ^[c]outside before the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside!” ²⁴ Now when ^[d]the high priest, ^(C)the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they wondered what the outcome would be. ²⁵ So one came and told them, ^[e]saying, “Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!”

²⁶ Then the captain went with the officers and brought them without violence, ^(D)for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. ²⁷ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, ²⁸ saying, ^(E)“Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, ^(F)and intend to bring this Man’s ^(G)blood on us!”

²⁹ But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: ^(H)“We ought to obey God rather than men.

God’s Revelation to Elijah

¹¹ Then He said, “Go out, and stand ^(A)on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord ^(B)passed by, and ^(C)a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; ¹² and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire ^[a]a still small voice.

¹³ So it was, when Elijah heard it, that ^(D)he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. ^(E)Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

^26 (A)Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately ^(B)all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. ²⁷ And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. ²⁸ But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”

²⁹ Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered and said to them, ^(A)“Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.

³⁷ Now when they heard this, ^(A)they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”

⁸ Now it happened, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You will surely die!

⁵ So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.

⁶ Now it came to pass after many days that the Lord said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the sash which I commanded you to hide there.” ⁷ Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the ^[a]sash from the place where I had hidden it; and there was the sash, ruined. It was profitable for nothing.
