Acts 9:31, 35, 42 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied. And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. | English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
