done all, to stand.
[14]Stand therefore, having your loins
girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
[15]And your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace;
[16]Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of
the priests were obedient to the faith.
