使徒行传 13
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
巴拿巴和掃羅奉差遣
13 安提阿教會中,有幾位先知和教師,就是巴拿巴、名叫尼結的西面、古利奈人路求、與分封王希律一同長大的馬念,和掃羅。 2 他們事奉主,並且禁食的時候,聖靈說:“要為我把巴拿巴和掃羅分別出來,去作我呼召他們作的工。” 3 於是他們禁食禱告,為兩人按手,就派他們去了。
第一次宣教旅程
4 他們既然奉聖靈差遣,就下到西流基,從那裡坐船往塞浦路斯。 5 他們到了撒拉米,就在猶太人的各會堂裡宣講 神的道,還有約翰作他們的助手。 6 他們走遍全島,到了帕弗,遇見一個猶太人,名叫巴.耶穌,是個術士,又是個假先知。 7 他常常和省長士求.保羅在一起;省長是個聰明人,他請了巴拿巴和掃羅來,要聽聽 神的道。 8 但術士以呂馬(以呂馬就是“術士”的意思)與使徒作對,要使省長轉離真道。 9 掃羅,也就是保羅,卻被聖靈充滿,定睛看著他, 10 說:“你這充滿各樣詭詐和各樣奸惡的人,魔鬼的兒子,公義的仇敵!你歪曲了主的正路,還不停止嗎? 11 你看,現在主的手臨到你,你要瞎了眼睛,暫時看不見陽光。”他就立刻被霧和黑暗籠罩著,周圍找人牽他的手,給他領路。 12 那時,省長看見了所發生的事,就信了,因為他驚奇主的教訓。
在彼西底的安提阿
13 保羅和同伴從帕弗開船,來到旁非利亞的別加,約翰卻離開他們,回耶路撒冷去了。 14 他們從別加往前走,到了彼西底的安提阿,在安息日進了會堂,就坐下來。 15 宣讀了律法和先知書以後,會堂的理事們派人到他們那裡來,說:“弟兄們,如果有甚麼勸勉眾人的話,請說吧!” 16 保羅就站起來,作了一個手勢,說:
“以色列人和敬畏 神的人,請聽! 17 以色列民的 神,揀選了我們的祖先;當他們在埃及地寄居的時候, 神抬舉這民,用大能(“大能”原文作“高”)的膀臂,把他們從那地領出來; 18 又在曠野容忍(“容忍”有些抄本作“養育”)他們,約有四十年之久; 19 滅了迦南地的七族之後,就把那地分給他們為業; 20 這一切歷時約四百五十年。後來 神賜給他們士師,直到撒母耳先知為止。 21 那時,他們要求立一個王, 神就把便雅憫支派中一個人,基士的兒子掃羅,賜給他們作王,共四十年之久。 22 廢去掃羅之後,又為他們興起大衛作王,並且為他作證說:‘我找到耶西的兒子大衛,他是合我心意的人,必遵行我的一切旨意。’ 23 神照著應許,已經從這人的後裔中,給以色列帶來了一位救主,就是耶穌。 24 在他來臨之前,約翰早已向以色列全民宣講悔改的洗禮。 25 約翰快要跑完他的路程的時候,說:‘你們以為我是誰?我不是基督。他是在我以後來的,我就是給他解腳上的鞋帶也不配。’
26 “弟兄們,亞伯拉罕的子孫,和你們中間敬畏 神的人哪,這救恩之道是傳給我們的。 27 住在耶路撒冷的人和他們的官長,因為不認識基督,也不明白每逢安息日所讀的先知的話,就把他定了罪,正好應驗了先知的話。 28 他們雖然找不出該死的罪狀,還是要求彼拉多殺害他。 29 他們把所記載一切關於他的事作成了,就把他從木頭上取下來,放在墳墓裡。 30 但 神卻使他從死人中復活了。 31 有許多日子,他向那些跟他一同從加利利上耶路撒冷的人顯現,現在這些人在民眾面前作了他的見證人, 32 我們報好信息給你們: 神給列祖的應許, 33 藉著耶穌的復活,向我們這些作子孫的應驗了。就如詩篇第二篇所記的:
‘你是我的兒子,
我今日生了你。’
34 至於 神使他從死人中復活,不再歸於朽壞,他曾這樣說:
‘我必把應許大衛的、神聖可靠的恩福賜給你們。’
35 所以他在另一篇說:
‘你必不容你的聖者見朽壞。’
36 “大衛在他自己的世代裡,遵行了 神的計劃,就睡了,歸回他列祖那裡,見了朽壞。 37 唯獨 神所復活的那一位,沒有見過朽壞。 38 所以弟兄們,你們當知道,赦罪之道是由這位耶穌傳給你們的。在你們靠摩西律法不能稱義的一切事上, 39 信靠他的人就得稱義了。 40 你們要小心,免得先知書上所說的臨到你們:
41 ‘傲慢的人哪!
你們要看、要驚奇、要滅亡,
因為在你們的日子,我要作一件事,
就算有人告訴你們,你們總是不信。’”
42 保羅和巴拿巴出來的時候,眾人請求他們下一個安息日再對他們講這些話。 43 散會以後,許多猶太人和歸信猶太教的虔誠人,跟從了保羅和巴拿巴。兩人對他們談話,勉勵他們要恆久住在 神的恩典中。
44 下一個安息日,幾乎全城的人都聚了來,要聽主的道。 45 猶太人看見這麼多人,就滿心嫉妒,反駁保羅所講的,並且毀謗他們。 46 保羅和巴拿巴卻放膽說:“ 神的道,先講給你們聽,是應該的。但因為你們棄絕這道,斷定自己不配得永生,所以我們現在就轉向外族人去了。 47 因為主曾這樣吩咐我們說:
‘我已立你作外族人的光,
使你把救恩帶到地極去。’”
48 外族人聽見了就歡喜,讚美主的道,凡指定得永生的都信了。 49 於是主的道傳遍那地。 50 但猶太人唆使虔誠尊貴的婦女和城內的顯要,煽動大家迫害保羅和巴拿巴,把他們驅逐出境。 51 兩人當眾跺掉腳上的塵土,往以哥念去了。 52 門徒滿有喜樂,又被聖靈充滿。
Acts 13
New King James Version
Paul and Barnabas Are Sent to the Gentiles
13 Now (A)in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: (B)Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, (C)Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, (D)“Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work (E)to which I have called them.” 3 Then, (F)having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.
Preaching in Cyprus
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to (G)Cyprus. 5 And when they arrived in Salamis, (H)they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had (I)John as their assistant.
6 Now when they had gone through [a]the island to Paphos, they found (J)a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus, 7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8 But (K)Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) [b]withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9 Then Saul, who also is called Paul, (L)filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 10 and said, “O full of all deceit and all fraud, (M)you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? 11 And now, indeed, (N)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. 12 Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
At Antioch in Pisidia
13 Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and (O)John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem. 14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and (P)went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down. 15 And (Q)after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men and brethren, if you have (R)any word of [c]exhortation for the people, say on.”
16 Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and (S)you who fear God, listen: 17 The God of this people [d]Israel (T)chose our fathers, and exalted the people (U)when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with [e]an uplifted arm He (V)brought them out of it. 18 Now (W)for a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness. 19 And when He had destroyed (X)seven nations in the land of Canaan, (Y)He distributed their land to them by allotment.
20 “After that (Z)He gave them judges for about four hundred and fifty years, (AA)until Samuel the prophet. 21 (AB)And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them (AC)Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And (AD)when He had removed him, (AE)He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, (AF)‘I have found David the son of Jesse, (AG)a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’ 23 (AH)From this man’s seed, according (AI)to the promise, God raised up for Israel (AJ)a[f] Savior—Jesus— 24 (AK)after John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And as John was finishing his course, he said, (AL)‘Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, (AM)there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.’
26 “Men and brethren, sons of the [g]family of Abraham, and (AN)those among you who fear God, (AO)to you the [h]word of this salvation has been sent. 27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, (AP)because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him. 28 (AQ)And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death. 29 (AR)Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, (AS)they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. 30 (AT)But God raised Him from the dead. 31 (AU)He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people. 32 And we declare to you glad tidings—(AV)that promise which was made to the fathers. 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:
(AW)‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.’
34 And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to [i]corruption, He has spoken thus:
35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm:
(AY)‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’
36 “For David, after he had served [k]his own generation by the will of God, (AZ)fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and [l]saw corruption; 37 but He whom God raised up [m]saw no corruption. 38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that (BA)through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; 39 and (BB)by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. 40 Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:
41 ‘Behold,(BC) you despisers,
Marvel and perish!
For I work a work in your days,
A work which you will by no means believe,
Though one were to declare it to you.’ ”
Blessing and Conflict at Antioch
42 [n]So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. 43 Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, (BD)persuaded them to continue in (BE)the grace of God.
44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God. 45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they (BF)opposed the things spoken by Paul. 46 Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, (BG)“It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but (BH)since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, (BI)we turn to the Gentiles. 47 For so the Lord has commanded us:
(BJ)‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles,
That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
48 Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. (BK)And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.
49 And the word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region. 50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, (BL)raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51 (BM)But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and came to Iconium. 52 And the disciples (BN)were filled with joy and (BO)with the Holy Spirit.

Barnabas and Saul Sent Off
13 Now there were in the church at Antioch (A)prophets and (B)teachers, (C)Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger,[a] Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a lifelong friend of (D)Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, (E)the Holy Spirit said, (F)“Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul (G)for the work to which I have called them.” 3 Then after fasting and (H)praying they laid their hands on them and (I)sent them off.
Barnabas and Saul on Cyprus
4 So, being sent out (J)by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God (K)in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had (L)John to (M)assist them. 6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain (N)magician, (O)a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus. 7 He was with (P)the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the (Q)magician (for that is the meaning of his name) (R)opposed them, seeking to turn (S)the proconsul away from the faith. 9 But Saul, who was also called Paul, (T)filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 10 and said, “You (U)son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and (V)villainy, will you not stop (W)making crooked (X)the straight paths of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, (Y)the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking (Z)people to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at (AA)the teaching of the Lord.
Paul and Barnabas at Antioch in Pisidia
13 Now Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. And (AB)John left them and returned (AC)to Jerusalem, 14 but they went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. And (AD)on the Sabbath day (AE)they went into the synagogue and sat down. 15 After (AF)the reading from (AG)the Law and the Prophets, (AH)the rulers of the synagogue sent a message to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any (AI)word of encouragement for the people, say it.” 16 So Paul stood up, and (AJ)motioning with his hand said:
“Men of Israel and (AK)you who fear God, listen. 17 (AL)The God of this people Israel (AM)chose our fathers and (AN)made the people great (AO)during their stay in the land of Egypt, and (AP)with uplifted arm he led them out of it. 18 And for about (AQ)forty years (AR)he put up with[b] them in the wilderness. 19 And (AS)after destroying (AT)seven nations in the land of Canaan, (AU)he gave them their land as an inheritance. 20 All this took about 450 years. And after that (AV)he gave them judges until (AW)Samuel the prophet. 21 Then (AX)they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul (AY)the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And (AZ)when he had removed him, (BA)he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, (BB)‘I have found in David the son of Jesse (BC)a man after my heart, (BD)who will do all my will.’ 23 (BE)Of this man's offspring God has brought to Israel (BF)a Savior, Jesus, (BG)as he promised. 24 Before his coming, (BH)John had proclaimed (BI)a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And as John was finishing his course, (BJ)he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but behold, after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
26 “Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you (BK)who fear God, to us has been sent (BL)the message of (BM)this salvation. 27 For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because (BN)they did not recognize him nor understand (BO)the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, (BP)fulfilled them by condemning him. 28 And (BQ)though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, (BR)they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 And when (BS)they had carried out all that was written of him, (BT)they took him down from (BU)the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30 But (BV)God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days (BW)he appeared to those (BX)who had come up with him (BY)from Galilee to Jerusalem, (BZ)who are now (CA)his witnesses to the people. 32 And we bring you the good news (CB)that what God promised to the fathers, 33 (CC)this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,
(CD)“‘You are my Son,
today I have begotten you.’
34 And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, (CE)(CF)no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,
“‘I will give you (CG)the holy and sure blessings of David.’
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm,
(CH)“‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.’
36 For David, after he had (CI)served the purpose of God in his own generation, (CJ)fell asleep and (CK)was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, 37 but he whom (CL)God raised up did not see corruption. 38 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, (CM)that through this man (CN)forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and by him (CO)everyone who believes is freed[c] from everything (CP)from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses. 40 Beware, therefore, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:
41 (CQ)“‘Look, you scoffers,
be astounded and perish;
for I am doing a work in your days,
a work that you will not believe, even if one tells it to you.’”
42 As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbath. 43 And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and (CR)devout (CS)converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them (CT)to continue in (CU)the grace of God.
44 The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 (CV)But (CW)when the Jews[d] saw the crowds, they were filled with (CX)jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, (CY)reviling him. 46 And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God (CZ)be spoken first to you. (DA)Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves (DB)unworthy of eternal life, behold, we (DC)are turning to the Gentiles. 47 (DD)For so the Lord has commanded us, saying,
(DE)“‘I have made you (DF)a light for the Gentiles,
that you may (DG)bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and (DH)glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region. 50 (DI)But the Jews incited the devout (DJ)women of high standing and the leading men of the city, (DK)stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and (DL)drove them out of their district. 51 But they (DM)shook off the dust from their feet against them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled (DN)with joy and (DO)with the Holy Spirit.

Reina Valera Contemporánea
Bernabé y Saulo comienzan su primer viaje misionero
13 En la iglesia de Antioquía eran profetas y maestros Bernabé y Simón, al que llamaban Niger; Lucio de Cirene; Manaén, que se había criado con el tetrarca Herodes, y Saulo. 2 Como ellos servían al Señor y ayunaban siempre, el Espíritu Santo dijo: «Apártenme a Bernabé y a Saulo, porque los he llamado para un importante trabajo.» 3 Y así, después de que todos ayunaron y oraron, les impusieron las manos y los despidieron.
Los apóstoles predican en Chipre
4 Bernabé y Saulo fueron llevados por el Espíritu Santo a Seleucia, y de allí navegaron a Chipre. 5 Al llegar a Salamina, comenzaron a predicar la palabra de Dios en las sinagogas de los judíos. Juan iba con ellos y les ayudaba. 6 Luego atravesaron toda la isla, hasta llegar a Pafos, donde había un mago y falso profeta judío, llamado Bar Jesús, 7 que estaba con el procónsul Sergio Paulo, quien era un varón muy prudente. Sergio Paulo mandó llamar a Bernabé y a Saulo, porque deseaba oír la palabra de Dios. 8 Pero el mago Elimas (que así se traduce su nombre), se lo impedía y procuraba apartar de la fe al procónsul. 9 Como Saulo, o sea, Pablo, estaba lleno del Espíritu Santo, fijó la mirada en el mago 10 y dijo: «¡Eres un hijo del diablo! ¡Estás lleno de mentira y de maldad, y eres enemigo de la justicia! ¿Cuándo dejarás de trastornar los caminos rectos del Señor? 11 Pon atención, porque la mano del Señor está en tu contra y vas a quedarte ciego; no podrás ver el sol por algún tiempo.» Y al instante quedó completamente ciego; y caminaba en círculos, buscando alguien que lo llevara de la mano. 12 Cuando el procónsul vio lo que había sucedido, quedó maravillado de la enseñanza del Señor y creyó.
Pablo y Bernabé en Antioquía de Pisidia
13 Después de que zarparon de Pafos, Pablo y sus compañeros arribaron a Perge de Panfilia; allí Juan se apartó de ellos y volvió a Jerusalén. 14 De Perge, siguieron a Antioquía de Pisidia; y un día de reposo entraron en la sinagoga del lugar y se sentaron. 15 Después de la lectura de la ley y de los profetas, los principales de la sinagoga les dijeron: «Hermanos, si tienen alguna enseñanza o exhortación para el pueblo, los escuchamos.» 16 Entonces Pablo se levantó y, luego de hacerles una señal para que guardaran silencio, dijo:
«Escúchenme ustedes, varones israelitas, y todos los que temen a Dios: 17 El Dios de Israel eligió a nuestros padres y enalteció a su pueblo, y aunque ellos vivieron en Egipto como extranjeros,(A) Dios los sacó de allí con gran despliegue de poder.(B) 18 Durante unos cuarenta años los toleró en el desierto;(C) 19 y después de destruir a siete naciones en Canaán,(D) les dio esas tierras por herencia.(E) 20 Cuatrocientos cincuenta años después, fueron gobernados por jueces(F) hasta que llegó el profeta Samuel.(G) 21 Más tarde pidieron un rey,(H) y Dios les dio a Saúl hijo de Cis, de la tribu de Benjamín,(I) quien los gobernó durante cuarenta años. 22 Cuando Dios le quitó el trono a Saúl,(J) puso como rey a David, de quien dijo: “Me agrada David, el hijo de Yesé, porque sé que él cumplirá los planes que yo tengo.”(K) 23 De acuerdo con su promesa, Dios levantó de la descendencia de David un salvador para Israel, que es Jesús. 24 Antes de que Jesús viniera, Juan predicó el bautismo de arrepentimiento(L) a todo el pueblo de Israel. 25 Cuando Juan estaba por terminar su obra, preguntó: “¿Quién creen ustedes que soy yo? No soy el que esperan.(M) Pero después de mí viene uno, del que no soy digno de desatar las correas de su calzado.”(N)
26 »Ustedes, hermanos descendientes de Abrahán, y todos ustedes, los que honran a Dios, este mensaje de salvación ha sido enviado a nosotros. 27 Los habitantes de Jerusalén y sus gobernantes no reconocieron a Jesús ni lo que dijeron los profetas, lo cual se lee en los días de reposo, pero dieron cumplimiento a esas palabras al condenar a Jesús. 28 Y aunque no encontraron en él nada que mereciera su muerte, le pidieron a Pilato que lo matara.(O) 29 Cuando se cumplió todo lo que estaba escrito acerca de él, lo bajaron del madero y lo sepultaron.(P) 30 Pero Dios lo resucitó de los muertos, 31 y durante muchos días Jesús se apareció a los que lo habían acompañado desde Galilea hasta Jerusalén.(Q) Y ellos son ahora sus testigos ante el pueblo. 32 Nosotros también les anunciamos a ustedes las buenas noticias de la promesa que Dios hizo a nuestros padres: 33 Dios la ha cumplido en sus hijos, es decir, en nosotros, al resucitar a Jesús. Así está escrito en el salmo segundo, que dice: “Tú eres mi hijo. Hoy te he engendrado.”(R) 34 En cuanto a levantarlo de entre los muertos, para que su cuerpo no llegara a corromperse, se dijo así: “Yo les cumpliré fielmente a ustedes las santas promesas que le hice a David.”(S)
35 Y también se dice en otro salmo: “No permitirás que el cuerpo de tu escogido se corrompa.”(T) 36 Es un hecho que, por la voluntad de Dios, David sirvió a su generación y, cuando murió, se fue a reunir con sus padres; pero su cuerpo se corrompió. 37 Sin embargo, el cuerpo de Jesús no se corrompió, porque Dios lo resucitó. 38 Hermanos, quiero que sepan que les estamos anunciando el perdón de sus pecados por medio de Jesús. 39 La ley de Moisés no pudo justificarles todos esos pecados, pero en Jesús queda justificado todo aquel que cree en él. 40 Tengan, pues, cuidado de que no les sobrevenga lo que anunciaron los profetas:
41 “Ustedes, que todo lo desprecian,
¡asómbrense y desaparezcan!
En los días de ustedes haré algo tan grande
que no podrán creerlo,
aunque alguien se lo explique.”»(U)
42 Cuando ellos salieron de la sinagoga, les rogaron que el siguiente día de reposo volvieran a hablarles de estas cosas. 43 Luego se despidió a la congregación, y muchos judíos y conversos piadosos siguieron a Pablo y a Bernabé, y ellos siguieron hablándoles y animándolos a mantenerse en la gracia de Dios.
44 El siguiente día de reposo casi todos los habitantes de la ciudad se reunieron para oír la palabra de Dios, 45 pero cuando los judíos vieron tanta gente, se llenaron de celos y rebatían lo que Pablo decía, y lo contradecían y lo maldecían. 46 Entonces Pablo y Bernabé les dijeron con toda franqueza: «Estamos seguros de que era necesario que ustedes fueran los primeros en escuchar la palabra de Dios. Pero como ustedes la rechazan y no se consideran dignos de recibir la vida eterna, ahora vamos a predicarles a los que no son judíos. 47 Ésa es la orden que el Señor nos dio, cuando dijo:
»“Te he puesto como luz para las naciones,
para que lleves salvación hasta los confines de la tierra.”»(V)
48 Cuando los que no eran judíos oyeron esto, se alegraron y glorificaron la palabra del Señor, y todos los que estaban destinados a recibir la vida eterna creyeron. 49 Y la palabra del Señor se difundía por toda aquella provincia. 50 Pero los judíos instigaron a las mujeres piadosas y distinguidas, y a los principales de la ciudad, para que iniciaran una persecución en contra de Pablo y Bernabé; así que los expulsaron de su territorio. 51 Ellos, por su parte, al salir de la ciudad se sacudieron el polvo de los pies en señal de protesta,(W) y se fueron a Iconio. 52 Y los discípulos estaban gozosos y llenos del Espíritu Santo.
