Acts 16:4

---

← Acts 16:3	Acts 16:4 (KJV)	Acts 16:5 →
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.	And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.	And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
