who was well spoken of by the brothers who were at Lustra and Ikonion.
3.
Sha'ul wished to have this one go with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Yehudim who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was Greek.
Was circumcision of the flesh really done away with at the cross?

Lydia`s Conversion in Philippi...
11.
Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrake, and the next day came to Neapolis,
12.
and from there to Philippi, which is the principal city of that part of Makedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days.
13.
And on the Sabbath day we went outside the city by a river, where there used to be prayer. And having sat down we were speaking to the women who met there.
Is the Sabbath still in effect in the New Testament?

And a certain woman named Ludia, a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, worshipping Elohim, was hearing, whose heart the Master did open to pay attention to what Sha'ul said.

Paul and Silas in Prison...

And it came to be, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of Puthon, did meet us, who brought her masters much profit by foretelling.
17.
Having followed Sha'ul and us, she cried out, saying, 'These men are the servants of the Most High Elohim, who proclaim to us the way of deliverance.'
18.
And she was doing this for many days. But Sha'ul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, 'I command you in the Name of Yahushua Messiah to come out of her.' And it came out that same hour.
19.
But when her masters saw that their anticipation of money-making was gone, they seized Sha'ul and Sila and dragged them into the market-place to the rulers.
20.
And having brought them to the captains, they said, 'These men, being Yehudim, greatly disturb our city,
21.
and they proclaim practices which are not right for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.'
22.
And the crowd rose up together against them. And the captains tore off their garments and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23.
And having laid many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them safely,
24.
who, having received such a command, put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25.
And at midnight Sha'ul and Sila were praying and singing songs to Elohim, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26.
And suddenly a great earthquake took place, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened and all the chains came loose.
27.
And the jailer, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, thinking the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.
28.
But Sha'ul called with a loud voice, saying, 'Do no harm to yourself, for we are all here.'

And having brought them into his house, he set food before them. And he rejoiced with all his household, having believed in Elohim.
35.
And when day came, the authorities sent the officers, saying, 'Let these men go.'
36.
And the jailer reported these words to Sha'ul, saying, 'The captains have sent to let you go. Now then, come out and go in peace.'
37.
But Sha'ul said to them, 'They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, being Romans. They have thrown us into prison, and now, do they throw us out secretly? No indeed! Let them come themselves and bring us out.'
38.
And the officers reported these words to the authorities, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
39.
And having come, they pleaded with them and brought them out, and asked them to leave the city.
