'Among' in the Bible

At that time, Peter got up among the brothers (there were about 120 people present) and said,

who was one of the men associated with us all the time the Lord Jesus came and went among us,

Then Peter stood up among the eleven apostles and raised his voice to address them:

"Fellow Israelis, listen to these words: Jesus from Nazareth was a man authenticated to you by God through miracles, wonders, and signs that God performed through him among you, as you yourselves know.

"Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and that his tomb is among us to this day.

"The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to everything he tells you. Any person who will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.'

There is no salvation by anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people by which we must be saved."

So they ordered them to leave the Council and began to discuss the matter among themselves.

But to keep it from spreading any further among the people, let us warn them never again to speak to anyone in this name."

Now many signs and wonders were being performed by the apostles among the people, who were gathered together in Solomon's Colonnade.

Therefore, brothers, appoint seven men among you who have a good reputation, who are full of the Spirit and wisdom, and we'll put them in charge of this work.

Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.

It was this Moses who told the Israelis, "God will raise up a prophet for you from among your own brothers, just as he did me.'

So he freely circulated among them in Jerusalem, speaking courageously in the name of the Lord.

Now when Peter was going around among all of the disciples, he also visited the saints living in Lydda.

He was a devout man who feared God, as did everyone in his home. He gave many gifts to the poor among the people and always prayed to God.

But among them were some men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and began proclaiming the Lord Jesus even to the Hellenistic Jews.

When morning came, there was a great commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.

"My brothers, descendants of Abraham's family, and those among you who fear God, it is to us that the message of this salvation has been sent.

After a lengthy debate, Peter stood up and told them, "Brothers, you know that in the early days, God chose me to be the one among you through whom the gentiles would hear the message of the gospel and believe.

The whole crowd was silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul tell about all the signs and wonders that God had done through them among the gentiles.

Simeon has explained how God first showed his concern for the gentiles by taking from among them a people for his name.

Then the apostles, the elders, and the whole church decided to choose some of their men to send with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch. These were Judas, who was called Barsabbas, and Silas, who were leaders among the brothers.

So Paul lived there for a year and a half and continued to teach the word of God among the people there.

When they came to him, he told them, "You know how I lived among you the entire time from the first day I set foot in Asia.

"Now I know that none of you among whom I traveled preaching about the kingdom will ever see my face again.

I know that when I'm gone, savage wolves will come among you and not spare the flock.

"I'm now entrusting you to God and to the message of his grace, which is able to build you up and secure for you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.

After greeting them, Paul related one by one the things that God had done among the gentiles through his ministry.

When they heard about it, they praised God and told him, "You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of believers there are among the Jews, and all of them are zealous for the Law.

But they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews living among the gentiles to forsake the Law of Moses, and that you tell them not to circumcise their children or observe the customs.

For we have found this man a perfect pest and an agitator among all Jews throughout the world. He is a ringleader in the sect of the Nazarenes

unless it is for the one thing I shouted as I stood among them: "It is for the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.'"

You will help them understand and turn them from darkness to light and from Satan's control to God, so that their sins will be forgiven and they will receive a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood among his shipmates and said, "Men, you should have listened to me and not have sailed from Crete. You would have avoided this hardship and damage.

But now I urge you to have courage, because there will be no loss of life among you, but only loss of the ship.
