“Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another.

Please […]

“‘And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, ‘Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the […]
