Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:34 - But among G1722 the crowd G3793, some G243 were shouting G2019 one thing and some G243 another G243, and when he could G1410 not find G1097 out G1097 the [fn]facts G804 because G1223 of the uproar G2351, he ordered G2753 that [fn]Paul be brought G71 into the barracks G3925.
