“During the night, the Lord told Paul in a vision: “Don’t be afraid. Continue talking to people and don’t be quiet. I am with you, and no one will hurt you because many of my people are in this city.” Paul stayed there for a year and a half, teaching God’s word to the people.” – vs. 9-10

“Don’t be afraid…
…don’t be quiet.
I am with you…“
