Acts 8:1New Messianic Version BibleAnd Sha’ul [desired] was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Y’hudah [praised] and Shomron [watch mountain], except the apostles. See the chapter |
Now there were in the church that was at Antioch [speedy as a chariot] certain prophets and teachers; as Bar-Nabba [son of rest], and Shim’on [he who hears] that was called Niger [black], and Lucius [light: bright: white] of Cyrene [supremacy of the bridle], and Menachem [comforter], which had been brought up with Herod [heroic] the tetrarch, and Sha’ul [desired].
Now when Dani’el [God is Judge] knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], as he did aforetime.
