After many days, the Jews had a meeting. They planned to kill Saul.

After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him,

When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him,

After a while some of the Jews plotted together to kill him.

After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,

When many days had elapsed, the Jews plotted together to do away with him,

Now after many days were past, the Jews plotted to kill him.

And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him:

After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,

And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:

Now after some days had passed, the Jews plotted together to kill him,

When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,

I didn’t go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem. I went there to get to know Peter. I stayed with him for 15 days.

“ Then the Lord said to me,‘ Go. I will send you far away to people who are not Jews.’ ”The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they shouted,“ Kill him! He isn’t fit to live!”They shouted and threw off their coats. They threw dust into the air.

Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium. They won the crowd over to their side. They threw stones at Paul. They thought he was dead, so they dragged him out of the city.

“ I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as snakes and as harmless as doves.Watch out! You will be handed over to the local courts. You will be whipped in the synagogues.You will be brought to governors and kings because of me. You will be witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.But when they arrest you, don’t worry about what you will say or how you will say it. At that time you will be given the right words to say.It will not be you speaking. The Spirit of your Father will be speaking through you.“ Brothers will hand over brothers to be killed. Fathers will hand over their children. Children will rise up against their parents and have them put to death.You will be hated by everyone because of me. But anyone who remains strong in the faith will be saved.When people attack you in one place, escape to another. What I’m about to tell you is true. You will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

I have had to keep on the move. I have been in danger from rivers. I have been in danger from robbers. I have been in danger from my fellow Jews and in danger from Gentiles. I have been in danger in the city, in the country, and at sea. I have been in danger from people who pretended they were believers.

Adoni- Zedek was the king of Jerusalem. He heard that Joshua had captured Ai. He found out that the city had been set apart to the Lord in a special way to be destroyed. He heard that Joshua had done to Ai and its king the same thing he had done to Jericho and its king. Adoni- Zedek heard that the people of Gibeon had made a peace treaty with Israel. He also found out that they were living among the Israelites.The things he heard alarmed him and his people very much. That’s because Gibeon was an important city. It was like one of the royal cities. It was larger than Ai. All its men were good soldiers.So Adoni- Zedek, the king of Jerusalem, made an appeal to Hoham, the king of Hebron. He appealed to Piram, the king of Jarmuth. He appealed to Japhia, the king of Lachish. He also made an appeal to Debir, the king of Eglon.“ Come up and help me attack Gibeon,” he said.“ Its people have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”Then the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon gathered their armies together. Those five Amorite kings moved all their troops into position to fight against Gibeon. Then they attacked it.Joshua was in the camp at Gilgal. The people of Gibeon sent a message to him there. They said,“ Don’t desert us. We serve you. Come up to us quickly! Save us! Help us! All the Amorite kings from the central hill country have gathered their armies together to fight against us.”

But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up some of the Gentiles who were there. They turned them against the two men and the new believers.

The Jews who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets also forced us to leave. They do not please God. They are enemies of everyone.They try to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles. These Jews don’t want the Gentiles to be saved. In this way, these Jews always increase their sins to the limit. God’s anger has come on them at last.

But the Jewish leaders stirred up the important women who worshiped God. They also stirred up the men who were leaders in the city. The Jewish leaders tried to get the women and men to attack Paul and Barnabas. They threw Paul and Barnabas out of that area.

I will show him how much he must suffer for me.”
