Simon

And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.

and he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, whose surname is Peter;

And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And those were the days of unleavened bread.

Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him.

And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison.

And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.

And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.

But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.

Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.

And when there had been much questioning, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know that a good while ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

Symeon hath rehearsed how first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

Have we no right to lead about a wife that is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.

but contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the gospel of the circumcision

(for he that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles);

and when they perceived the grace that was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision;

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
