““Ananias told me, ‘The God of our fathers chose you long ago to know his plan. He chose you to see the Righteous One and to hear words from him.
You will be his witness to all people. You will tell them what you have seen and heard.
Now, don’t wait any longer. Get up, be baptized and wash away your sins, trusting in Jesus to save you.’”

“After we had been there for several days, a prophet named Agabus came from Judea.
He came to us and borrowed Paul’s belt. He used it to tie his own hands and feet. He said, “The Holy Spirit tells me, ‘This is how the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man who wears this belt. Then they will hand him over to people who don’t know God.’”
When we heard this, we and the other followers there begged Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
But he said, “Why are you crying and making me feel so sad? I am willing to be put in jail in Jerusalem. I am even ready to die for the name of the Lord Jesus!”
We could not persuade him to stay away from Jerusalem. So we stopped begging him and said, “We pray that what the Lord wants will be done.””

“I know that after I leave, some men will come into your group. They will be like wild wolves and will try to destroy the flock. Also, men from your own group will begin to teach things that are wrong. They will lead some of the Lord’s followers away from the truth to follow them.
So be careful! And always remember what I did during the three years I was with you. I never stopped reminding each one of you how you should live, counseling you day and night and crying over you.
“Now I am putting you in God’s care. I am depending on the message about his grace to make you strong. That message is able to give you the blessings that God gives to all his holy people.”

[24] I don’t care about my own life. The most important thing is that I finish my work. I want to finish the work that the Lord Jesus gave me to do—to tell people the Good News about God’s grace.
[25] “And now listen to me. I know that none of you will ever see me again. All the time I was with you, I told you the Good News about God’s kingdom.
[26] So today I can tell you one thing that I am sure of: God will not blame me if some of you are not saved.

[19] The Jews planned things against me, and this gave me much trouble. But you know that I always served the Lord, sometimes with tears. I never thought about myself first.

[9] There was a young man named Eutychus sitting in the window. Paul continued talking, and Eutychus became very, very sleepy. Finally, he went to sleep and fell out of the window. He fell to the ground from the third floor. When the people went down and lifted him up, he was dead.
[10] Paul went down to where Eutychus was, knelt down beside him, and put his arms around him. He said to the other believers, “Don’t worry. He is alive now.”
[12] The Lord’s followers took Eutychus home alive, and they were all greatly comforted.

[18] Many of the believers began to confess, telling about all the evil things they had done.
[19] Some of them had used magic. These believers brought their magic books and burned them before everyone. These books were worth about 50,000 silver coins.
[20] This is how the word of the Lord was spreading in a powerful way, causing more and more people to believe.
