伯鐸祿即縷述其事之原委曰：

Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the whole story:

Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the whole story.

But Peter began and explained it to them in order:

Then Peter told them exactly what had happened.

Peter began to explain to them step by step,

But Peter began and explained at length to them in an orderly sequence, saying,

But Peter explained it to them in order from the beginning, saying:

But Peter began, and expounded the matter unto them in order, saying,

But Peter rehearsed[ the matter] from the beginning, and expounded[ it] by order unto them, saying,

But Peter began and explained it to them point by point, saying,

But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. (niv)

Then Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh replied to the heads of the clans of Israel:“ The Mighty One, God, the Lord! The Mighty One, God, the Lord! He knows! And let Israel know! If this has been in rebellion or disobedience to the Lord, do not spare us this day.If we have built our own altar to turn away from the Lord and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it, may the Lord himself call us to account.“ No! We did it for fear that some day your descendants might say to ours,‘ What do you have to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?The Lord has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you— you Reubenites and Gadites! You have no share in the Lord.’ So your descendants might cause ours to stop fearing the Lord.“ That is why we said,‘ Let us get ready and build an altar— but not for burnt offerings or sacrifices.’On the contrary, it is to be a witness between us and you and the generations that follow, that we will worship the Lord at his sanctuary with our burnt offerings, sacrifices and fellowship offerings. Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to ours,‘ You have no share in the Lord.’“ And we said,‘ If they ever say this to us, or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the Lord’s altar, which our ancestors built, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’“ Far be it from us to rebel against the Lord and turn away from him today by building an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings and sacrifices, other than the altar of the Lord our God that stands before his tabernacle.”When Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the community— the heads of the clans of the Israelites— heard what Reuben, Gad and Manasseh had to say, they were pleased.And Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, said to Reuben, Gad and Manasseh,“ Today we know that the Lord is with us, because you have not been unfaithful to the Lord in this matter. Now you have rescued the Israelites from the Lord’s hand.” (niv)

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. (niv)
