Selected verse

There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.

Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”

When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.
