17) Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, “These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation.”

9) But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his gaze on him.


10) And said, You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked the straight ways of the Lord?

13) and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.

14) The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

15) Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

16) they called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
