¹⁵ which, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the holy ghost. ¹⁶ For as yet he was come on none of them: But they were baptised only in the name of Christ Jesus. ¹⁷ Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the holy ghost. ¹⁸ When Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands on them, the holy ghost was given: he offered them money, saying, ¹⁹ "Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I put the hands, he may receive the holy ghost."

³ Then fasted they and prayed, and put their hands on them, and let them go.

⁶ And Paul laid his hands upon them: and the holy ghost came on them, and they spake with tongues and prophesied;

⁴ There are diversities of gifts verily, yet but one spirit. ⁵ And there are differences of administrations, and yet but one Lord. ⁶ And there are divers manners of operations, and yet but one God, which worketh all things that are wrought in all creatures. ⁷ The gifts of the spirit are given to every man to profit the congregation. ⁸ To one is given, through the spirit, the utterance of wisdom; to another is given the utterance of knowledge by the same spirit; ⁹ to another is given faith, by the same spirit; to another the gifts of healing, by the same spirit; ¹⁰ to another, power to do miracles; to another prophecy; to another, judgment of spirits; to another divers tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ and these all worketh even the self same spirit, dividing to every man several gifts even as he will.

¹⁴ Despise not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee through prophecy, and with laying on of the hands of an elder.

² And he said unto them, "The harvest is great: but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, to send forth laborers into his harvest. ³ Go your ways. Behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. ⁴ Bear no wallet, neither scrip, nor shoes, and salute no man by the way. ⁵ Into whatsoever house ye enter in, first say, Peace be to this house. ⁶ And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him, if not, it shall return to you again. ⁷ And in the same house tarry still, eating and drinking such as they have. For the laborer is worthy of his reward. Go not from house to house: ⁸ and into whatsoever city ye enter, if they receive you, eat such things as are set before you, ⁹ and heal the sick that are there, and say unto them, 'The kingdom of God is come nigh upon you.' ¹⁰ "But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, if they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, ¹¹ Even the very dust, which cleaveth on us of your city, we wipe off against you: Notwithstanding, mark this, that the kingdom of God was come nigh upon you.

²⁸ Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, whereof the holy ghost hath made you overseers: to rule the congregation of God, which he hath purchased with his blood. ²⁹ For I am sure of this: that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, which will not spare the flock. ³⁰ Moreover, of your own selves shall men arise speaking perverse things, to draw disciples after them. ³¹ Therefore awake and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one of you, both night and day with tears.

¹⁷ And say to Archippus, "Take heed to the office that thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it."

¹³ I give thee charge in the sight of God, which quickeneth all things, and before Jesus Christ, which under Pontius Pilate witnessed a good witnessing, ¹⁴ that thou keep the commandment, and be without spot and unrebukable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ; ¹⁵ which appearing, when the time is come, he shall show that is blessed and mighty only, King of Kings, and Lord of lords, ¹⁶ which only hath immortality, and dwelleth in light that no man can attain, whom never man saw, neither can see: unto whom be honour and rule everlasting. Amen. ¹⁷ Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not exceeding wise, and that they trust not in the uncertain riches, but in the living God, which giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy them,

¹ I testify therefore before God, and before the Lord Jesus Christ, which shall judge quick and dead at his appearing in his kingdom: ² Preach the word, be fervent; be it in season, or out of season. Improve, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. ³ For the time will come, when they will not suffer wholesome doctrine: but after their own lusts shall they whose ears itch get them a heap of teachers, ⁴ and shall turn their ears from the truth, and shall be given unto fables: ⁵ But watch thou in all things, and suffer adversity, and do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thine office unto the utmost. ⁶ For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departing is at hand.

Nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken away from thee, thou shalt have it so: if thou do not, it shall not be."

²³ but they went first up and wept before the LORD unto evening, and asked of the LORD saying, "Shall we go again to battle against the children of Benjamin, our brethren?"

²⁶ Then the children of Israel and all the people went up and came unto Bethel, and wept and sat there before the LORD, and fasted the same day unto evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD. ²⁷ And they asked the LORD — for there was the ark of the covenant of God, in those days; ²⁸ and Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron waiting upon it at that time — and they said, "Shall we go out any more to battle against the children of Benjamin our brethren, or shall we cease?" And the LORD said, "Go. For tomorrow I will deliver them into your hands."

And they came all to the king. ¹² And Saul said, "Hear, thou son of Ahitub." And he said, "Here I am, my lord." ¹³ Then said Saul to him, "Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, insomuch that thou hast given him victuals and a sword, and hast asked counsel of God for him that he should arise against me and lie await as it is come to pass this day?" ¹⁴ And Ahimelech answered the king, and said, "Who is so faithful among all thy servants as David and thereto the king's son-in-law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is had in honour in thine house? ¹⁵ Have I this day begun first to ask counsel of God for him? God forbid that from me: let not the king put such a thing unto his servant and on all the house of my father. For thy servant knoweth nothing of all this, either less or more."

⁹ But David had knowledge that Saul imagined mischief against him, and said therefore to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod."

⁶ And Saul asked counsel of the LORD, but the LORD answered him not: neither by dream, nor by the light, nor yet by prophets.
