⁴⁵ and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul -- contradicting and speaking evil.

¹⁰ and these, as many things indeed as they have not known, they speak evil of; and as many things as naturally (as the irrational beasts) they understand, in these they are corrupted;

⁶ and on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken `his' garments, he said unto them, `Your blood `is' upon your head -- I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.'

¹⁷ And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him -- being the sect of the Sadducees -- were filled with zeal,

⁹ and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, having departed from them, he did separate the disciples, every day reasoning in the school of a certain Tyrannus.

¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always, but the anger did come upon them -- to the end!

⁴ in which they think it strange -- your not running with them to the same excess of dissoluteness, speaking evil,

⁵ Do ye think that emptily the Writing saith, `To envy earnestly desireth the spirit that did dwell in us,'

¹⁴ and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;

¹⁵ this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,

¹⁶ for where zeal and rivalry `are', there is insurrection and every evil matter;

²¹ envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.

³ for yet ye are fleshly, for where `there is' among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?

²⁹ having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

²⁹ And Moses saith to him, `Art thou zealous for me? O that all Jehovah's people were prophets! that Jehovah would put His Spirit upon them!'

⁴ And I have seen all the labour, and all the benefit of the work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbour. Even this `is' vanity and vexation of spirit.

¹¹ O Jehovah, high `is' Thy hand -- they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire -- Thine adversaries, consumeth them.

¹³ `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut up the reign of the heavens before men, for ye do not go in, nor those going in do ye suffer to enter.

¹⁸ for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.

²⁵ `And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing,

²⁶ and having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be,

²⁷ and he said to him -- Thy brother is arrived, and thy father did kill the fatted calf, because in health he did receive him back.

²⁸ `And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his father, having come forth, was entreating him;

²⁹ and he answering said to the father, Lo, so many years I do serve thee, and never thy command did I transgress, and to me thou didst never give a kid, that with my friends I might make merry;

³⁰ but when thy son -- this one who did devour thy living with harlots -- came, thou didst kill to him the fatted calf.

⁹ and there arose certain of those of the synagogue, called of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia, and Asia, disputing with Stephen,

¹⁰ and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he was speaking;

⁵ And the unbelieving Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to them of the loungers certain evil men, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having assailed also the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring `them' to the populace,

¹¹ and his brethren are zealous against him, and his father hath watched the matter.
