Paul and Barnabas Are Sent to the Gentiles

13Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.G1161G2258G2596G1577G5607G1722G490G5100G4396G2532G1320G5037G921G2532G4826G2564G3526G2532G3066G2956G5037G3127G4939G2264G5076G2532G4569 2As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."G1161G846G3008G2962G2532G3522G40G4151G2036G1211G873G3427G5037G921G2532G4569G1519G2041G3739G4341G846 3Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.G5119G3522G2532G4336G2532G2007G5495G2007G846G630

Preaching in Cyprus

4So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.G3303G3767G3778G1599G5259G40G4151G2718G1519G4581G1564G5037G636G1519G2954 5And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant.G2532G1096G1722G4529G2605G3056G2316G1722G4864G2453G1161G2192G2532G2491G5257 6Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus,G1161G1330G3520G891G3974G2147G5100G3097G5578G2453G3739G3686G919 7who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.G3739G2258G4862G446G4588G3972G4908G435G3778G4341G921G2532G4569G1934G191G3056G2316 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.G1161G1681G3097G1063G3779G846G3686G3177G436G846G2212G1294G446G575G4102 9Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at himG1161G4569G3588G2532G3972G4130G40G4151G2532G816G1519G846 10and said, "O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?G2036G5599G4134G3956G1388G2532G3956G4468G5207G1228G2190G3956G1343G3973G3756G3973G1294G2117G3598G2962 11"And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time." And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.G2532G3568G2400G5495G2962G1909G4571G2532G2071G5185G3361G991G2246G891G2540G1161G3916G1968G1909G846G887G2532G4655G2532G4013G2212G5497 12Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.G5119G446G1492G1096G4100G1605G1909G1322G2962

At Antioch in Pisidia

13Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.G1161G3972G4012G321G575G3974G2064G1519G4011G3828G1161G2491G672G575G846G5290G1519G2414 14But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.G1161G846G1330G575G4011G3854G1519G490G4099G2532G1525G1519G4864G4521G2250G2523 15And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on."G1161G3326G320G3551G2532G4396G752G649G4314G846G3004G435G80G1487G2076G1722G5213G3056G3874G4314G2992G3004 16Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen:G1161G3972G450G2532G2678G5495G2036G435G2475G2532G5399G2316G191 17"The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He brought them out of it.G2316G5127G2992G2474G1586G2257G3962G2532G5312G2992G1722G3940G1722G1093G125G2532G3326G5308G1023G1806G846G1537G846 18"Now for a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness.G2532G5613G5550G5063G5159G846G5159G1722G2048 19"And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land to them by allotment.G2532G2507G2033G1484G1722G1093G5477G2624G846G1093G846G2624 20"After that He gave them judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.G2532G3326G5023G1325G2923G5613G5071G2532G4004G2094G2193G4545G4396 21"And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.G2547G154G935G2532G2316G1325G846G4549G5207G2797G435G1537G5443G958G5062G2094 22"And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.'G2532G3179G846G1453G846G1138G1519G935G3739G2532G3140G2036G2147G1138G2421G435G2596G3450G2588G3739G4160G3956G3450G2307 23"From this man's seed, according to the promise, God raised up for Israel a Savior—Jesus—G575G5127G4690G1453G2316G2596G1860G1453G2474G4990G2424 24"after John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.G2491G4296G4253G846G4383G1529G908G3341G3956G2992G2474 25"And as John was finishing his course, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'G1161G5613G2491G4137G1408G3004G5101G5282G3165G1511G1473G1510G3756G235G2400G2064G3326G1691G3739G5266G4228G1510G3756G514G3089 26"Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent.G435G80G5207G1085G11G2532G1722G5213G5399G2316G5213G649G3056G5026G4991G649 27"For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him.G1063G2730G1722G2419G2532G846G758G50G5126G50G2532G5456G4396G3588G314G2596G3956G4521G4137G2919 28"And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death.G2532G2147G3367G156G2288G154G4091G846G337 29"Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.G1161G5613G5055G537G1125G4012G846G2507G575G3586G5087G1519G3419 30"But God raised Him from the dead.G1161G2316G1453G846G1537G3498 31"He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.G3739G3700G1909G4119G2250G4872G846G575G1056G1519G2419G3748G1526G846G3144G4314G2992 32"And we declare to you glad tidings—that promise which was made to the fathers.G2532G2249G2097G5209G2097G3754G1860G1096G4314G3962 33"God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'G2316G1603G5026G2254G846G5043G450G2424G450G5613G1125G2532G1125G1722G1208G5568G4771G1488G3450G5207G4594G1473G1080G4571 34"And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: 'I will give you the sure mercies of David.'G1161G3754G450G846G450G1537G3498G3371G3195G5290G1519G1312G2046G3779G3754G1325G5213G4103G3741G1138 35"Therefore He also says in another Psalm: 'You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.'G1352G3004G2532G1722G2087G1325G3756G1325G4675G3741G1492G1312 36"For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;G1063G3303G1138G5256G2398G1074G1012G2316G2837G2532G4369G4314G846G3962G2532G1492G1312 37"but He whom God raised up saw no corruption.G1161G3739G2316G1453G1492G3756G1312 38"Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;G2077G1110G5213G3767G435G80G3754G1223G5127G2605G5213G859G266 39"and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.G2532G1722G5129G3956G4100G1344G575G3956G3739G1410G3756G1344G1722G3551G3475 40"Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:G991G3767G3361G1904G1909G5209G2046G1722G4396 41"Behold, you despisers, Marvel and perish!

Blessing and Conflict at Antioch

42So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.G1161G2453G1826G1537G4864G1484G3870G5023G4487G2980G846G1519G3342G4521 43Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.G1161G4864G3089G4183G2453G2532G4576G4339G190G3972G2532G921G3748G4354G846G3982G846G1961G5485G2316 44On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.G1161G2064G4521G4863G4975G3956G4172G4863G191G3056G2316 45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul.G1161G2453G1492G3793G4130G2205G2532G483G3004G5259G3972G483G2532G987 46Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.G1161G3972G2532G921G3955G2036G2258G316G3056G2316G2980G4412G2980G5213G1161G1894G683G846G683G2532G2919G1438G3756G514G166G2222G2400G4762G1519G1484 47"For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.'"G1063G3779G1781G2962G1781G2254G5087G4571G1519G5457G1484G4571G1511G1519G4991G2193G2078G1093 48Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.G1161G1484G191G5463G2532G1392G3056G2962G2532G3745G2258G5021G1519G166G2222G4100 49And the word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region.G1161G3056G2962G1308G1223G3650G5561 50But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.G1161G2453G3951G4576G2532G2158G1135G2532G4413G4172G2532G1892G1375G1909G3972G2532G921G2532G1544G846G575G846G3725 51But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and came to Iconium.G1161G1621G2868G846G4228G1909G846G2064G1519G2430 52And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.G1161G3101G4137G5479G2532G40G4151
