Acts 13:44-47
English Standard Version
44 The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 (A)But (B)when the Jews[a] saw the crowds, they were filled with (C)jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, (D)reviling him. 46 And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God (E)be spoken first to you. (F)Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves (G)unworthy of eternal life, behold, we (H)are turning to the Gentiles. 47 (I)For so the Lord has commanded us, saying,
(J)“‘I have made you (K)a light for the Gentiles,
that you may (L)bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
