预备差传
13 在安提阿当地的教会中有一些做先知传道的[a]和教师，包括巴拿巴、称为尼格尔的西蒙、古利奈人卢吉斯、与分封王希律一起长大的马纳恩，还有扫罗。
2 他们在服事主、禁食的时候，圣灵说：“来，你们把巴拿巴和扫罗为我分别出来，去做我所召唤他们做的工作！” 3 于是他们禁食、祷告，按手在巴拿巴和扫罗身上，就送他们走了。
在塞浦路斯岛传道
4 这样，他们两个人受圣灵的差遣，就下到塞琉西亚，又从那里坐船前往塞浦路斯岛， 5 到了萨拉米斯，就在犹太人的各会堂里传讲神的话语[b]。他们也有约翰马可[c]做助理。 6 他们走遍全岛[d]，直到帕福斯，遇见了一个名叫巴耶苏的犹太人，是个行法术的假先知。 7 他和省长瑟吉乌斯保罗常在一起。省长是一个明智的人，他请了巴拿巴和扫罗来，要求听神的话语[e]。 8 但那行法术的以路摩——他的名字翻译出来就是“行法术的”——却抵挡他们，企图使省长转离这信仰。
9 可是扫罗，也就是保罗，被圣灵充满，注视着以路摩， 10 说：“哦，你这个充满一切诡诈、一切奸恶的人哪！魔鬼的儿子，一切公义的仇敌！你歪曲主的正道，还不停止吗？ 11 看哪，现在主的手临到你，你要瞎眼，暂时看不见日光。”立刻，迷雾和黑暗笼罩了他，他四处摸索，求人牵手领路。
12 省长当时看见所发生的事，对主的教导惊叹不已，就信了。
在彼西底的安提阿传道
13 保罗一行从帕福斯起航，来到潘菲利亚省的佩尔格。约翰马可[f]却离开他们，回耶路撒冷去了。 14 他们从佩尔格往前行，来到皮西迪亚地区的安提阿，在安息日那天，就进了会堂坐下。 15 诵读了律法和先知书以后，会堂主管们派人来对他们说：“各位兄弟，如果有什么鼓励民众的话，就请说吧。”
16 保罗就站起来，挥一下手，说：“各位以色列人和敬畏神的人，请听！ 17 这以色列民族的神拣选了我们的祖先，当他们寄居在埃及地的时候，高举他们，并用大能的膀臂带领他们从那里出来。 18 在旷野，神容忍了他们约有四十年之久。 19 神消灭了迦南地的七个民族后，把他们的土地赐给我们的先祖[g]为继业， 20 约有四百五十年。这些事以后，神又赐给他们士师，直到先知撒母耳为止。 21 此后，他们要求立一个王，神就把便雅悯支派的一个人，基士的儿子扫罗给他们为王[h]，共四十年。 22 后来神废除了扫罗，兴起大卫做他们的王，并且为他见证说：‘我找到了耶西的儿子大卫，一个合乎我心意的人，他将遵行我的一切旨意。’[i]
23 “神照着应许，从这人的后裔中给以色列带来了一位救主，就是耶稣。 24 在耶稣公开出来之前，约翰预先向所有以色列子民宣讲了悔改的洗礼。 25 当约翰快要跑尽该跑的路程[j]时，说：‘你们认为我是谁？我不是那一位。看哪，他要在我以后来，我就是为他解脚上的鞋带也不配。’
26 “各位兄弟，亚伯拉罕家的子孙和你们中间敬畏神的人哪，这救恩的福音[k]是赐给我们[l]的。 27 实际上，住在耶路撒冷的人和他们的首领们都不认识这一位，也不明白每逢安息日所诵读的先知们的话，就把他定罪，从而应验了这些话。 28 他们虽然找不到处死他的任何理由，还是求彼拉多杀了他。 29 当他们做完了经上所记载的一切有关耶稣的事，有些人就把他从木头上取下来，安放在墓穴里。 30 但是神使他从死人中复活了！ 31 一连好几天，他向那些与他一起从加利利上到耶路撒冷的人显现；这些人如今在民间做了他的见证人， 32 而我们也把应许给祖先的这福音传给你们， 33 因为神使耶稣复活，已经为我们这些做他们儿女[m]的成全了这应许，正如诗篇第二篇也记着：
‘你是我的儿子，
我今天生了你。’[n]
34 至于神使耶稣从死人中复活、不再归于腐朽的事，神曾这样说过：‘我要把给大卫的那圣洁、信实的祝福[o]赐给你们。’[p] 35 所以在另外一处也说：‘你不会让你的圣者经历腐朽。’[q] 36 就是说，大卫虽然在自己的世代，遵行了神的计划之后就睡了，归到他祖先那里，并且经历了腐朽， 37 但是神使之复活的那一位，没有经历腐朽。 38 所以各位兄弟，你们应当知道：罪得赦免，是因着这一位传给你们的。在你们藉着摩西的律法，不能被称为义的一切事上， 39 藉着这一位，所有相信的人都被称为义了。 40 所以你们要当心，免得先知们所说的话临到你们[r]：
41 ‘看吧，你们这些好讥诮的人哪！
惊奇吧，灭亡吧！
因为在你们的时代里，我要做一件事，
就算有人向你们详细说明，
你们也绝不会相信。’[s]”
扫罗与巴拿巴在安提阿
42 保罗和巴拿巴离开会堂[t]的时候，大家[u]请求他们在下一个安息日再向他们讲这些话。 43 散会以后，许多犹太人和入犹太教的敬神之人，跟从了保罗和巴拿巴。他们两个人与这些人谈论，劝导他们继续留在神的恩典中。
44 到了下一个安息日，全城的人几乎都聚集，听主[v]的福音[w]。 45 但犹太人看见这一群人，就满腔嫉妒，说亵渎的话来反对保罗所讲的。
46 保罗和巴拿巴就放胆直言，说：“神的话语[x]先传给你们是必须的。既然你们弃绝这道，断定自己不配得永恒的生命，看哪，我们就转向外邦人， 47 因为主是这样吩咐我们的：
‘我已经指派你为外邦人的光，
使你把救恩带到地极。’[y]”
48 外邦人听了这话就感到欢喜，不住地荣耀主的福音[z]，凡是被预定进入永恒生命的人都信了。 49 于是主的福音[aa]传遍了那整个地区。 50 但犹太人煽动一些敬神的尊贵妇女和城里的显要人物，怂恿他们逼迫保罗和巴拿巴，并且把他们驱逐出境。 51 两个人对着他们跺掉脚上的尘土，往以哥念去了。 52 门徒们都满心喜乐，又被圣灵充满。

13 Il y avait dans l'Église d'Antioche des prophètes et des docteurs: Barnabas, Siméon appelé Niger, Lucius de Cyrène, Manahen, qui avait été élevé avec Hérode le tétrarque, et Saul.
2 Pendant qu'ils servaient le Seigneur dans leur ministère et qu'ils jeûnaient, le Saint Esprit dit: Mettez-moi à part Barnabas et Saul pour l'oeuvre à laquelle je les ai appelés.
3 Alors, après avoir jeûné et prié, ils leur imposèrent les mains, et les laissèrent partir.
4 Barnabas et Saul, envoyés par le Saint Esprit, descendirent à Séleucie, et de là ils s'embarquèrent pour l'île de Chypre.
5 Arrivés à Salamine, ils annoncèrent la parole de Dieu dans les synagogues des Juifs. Ils avaient Jean pour aide.
6 Ayant ensuite traversé toute l'île jusqu'à Paphos, ils trouvèrent un certain magicien, faux prophète juif, nommé Bar Jésus,
7 qui était avec le proconsul Sergius Paulus, homme intelligent. Ce dernier fit appeler Barnabas et Saul, et manifesta le désir d'entendre la parole de Dieu.
8 Mais Élymas, le magicien, -car c'est ce que signifie son nom, -leur faisait opposition, cherchant à détourner de la foi le proconsul.
9 Alors Saul, appelé aussi Paul, rempli du Saint Esprit, fixa les regards sur lui, et dit:
10 Homme plein de toute espèce de ruse et de fraude, fils du diable, ennemi de toute justice, ne cesseras-tu point de pervertir les voies droites du Seigneur?
11 Maintenant voici, la main du Seigneur est sur toi, tu seras aveugle, et pour un temps tu ne verras pas le soleil. Aussitôt l'obscurité et les ténèbres tombèrent sur lui, et il cherchait, en tâtonnant, des personnes pour le guider.
12 Alors le proconsul, voyant ce qui était arrivé, crut, étant frappé de la doctrine du Seigneur.
13 Paul et ses compagnons, s'étant embarqués à Paphos, se rendirent à Perge en Pamphylie. Jean se sépara d'eux, et retourna à Jérusalem.
14 De Perge ils poursuivirent leur route, et arrivèrent à Antioche de Pisidie. Étant entrés dans la synagogue le jour du sabbat, ils s'assirent.
15 Après la lecture de la loi et des prophètes, les chefs de la synagogue leur envoyèrent dire: Hommes frères, si vous avez quelque exhortation à adresser au peuple, parlez.
16 Paul se leva, et, ayant fait signe de la main, il dit: Hommes Israélites, et vous qui craignez Dieu, écoutez!
17 Le Dieu de ce peuple d'Israël a choisi nos pères. Il mit ce peuple en honneur pendant son séjour au pays d'Égypte, et il l'en fit sortir par son bras puissant.
18 Il les nourrit près de quarante ans dans le désert;
19 et, ayant détruit sept nations au pays de Canaan, il leur en accorda le territoire comme propriété.
20 Après cela, durant quatre cent cinquante ans environ, il leur donna des juges, jusqu'au prophète Samuel.
21 Ils demandèrent alors un roi. Et Dieu leur donna, pendant quarante ans, Saül, fils de Kis, de la tribu de Benjamin;
22 puis, l'ayant rejeté, il leur suscita pour roi David, auquel il a rendu ce témoignage: J'ai trouvé David, fils d'Isaï, homme selon mon coeur, qui accomplira toutes mes volontés.
23 C'est de la postérité de David que Dieu, selon sa promesse, a suscité à Israël un Sauveur, qui est Jésus.
24 Avant sa venue, Jean avait prêché le baptême de repentance à tout le peuple d'Israël.
25 Et lorsque Jean achevait sa course, il disait: Je ne suis pas celui que vous pensez; mais voici, après moi vient celui des pieds duquel je ne suis pas digne de délier les souliers.
26 Hommes frères, fils de la race d'Abraham, et vous qui craignez Dieu, c'est à vous que cette parole de salut a été envoyée.
27 Car les habitants de Jérusalem et leurs chefs ont méconnu Jésus, et, en le condamnant, ils ont accompli les paroles des prophètes qui se lisent chaque sabbat.
28 Quoiqu'ils ne trouvassent en lui rien qui fût digne de mort, ils ont demandé à Pilate de le faire mourir.
29 Et, après qu'ils eurent accompli tout ce qui est écrit de lui, ils le descendirent de la croix et le déposèrent dans un sépulcre.
30 Mais Dieu l'a ressuscité des morts.
31 Il est apparu pendant plusieurs jours à ceux qui étaient montés avec lui de la Galilée à Jérusalem, et qui sont maintenant ses témoins auprès du peuple.
32 Et nous, nous vous annonçons cette bonne nouvelle que la promesse faite à nos pères,
33 Dieu l'a accomplie pour nous leurs enfants, en ressuscitant Jésus, selon ce qui est écrit dans le Psaume deuxième: Tu es mon Fils, Je t'ai engendré aujourd'hui.
34 Qu'il l'ait ressuscité des morts, de telle sorte qu'il ne retournera pas à la corruption, c'est ce qu'il a déclaré, en disant: Je vous donnerai Les grâces saintes promises à David, ces grâces qui sont assurées.
35 C'est pourquoi il dit encore ailleurs: Tu ne permettras pas que ton Saint voie la corruption.
36 Or, David, après avoir en son temps servi au dessein de Dieu, est mort, a été réuni à ses pères, et a vu la corruption.
37 Mais celui que Dieu a ressuscité n'a pas vu la corruption.
38 Sachez donc, hommes frères, que c'est par lui que le pardon des péchés vous est annoncé,
39 et que quiconque croit est justifié par lui de toutes les choses dont vous ne pouviez être justifiés par la loi de Moïse.
40 Ainsi, prenez garde qu'il ne vous arrive ce qui est dit dans les prophètes:
41 Voyez, contempteurs, Soyez étonnés et disparaissez; Car je vais faire en vos jours une oeuvre, Une oeuvre que vous ne croiriez pas si on vous la racontait.
42 Lorsqu'ils sortirent, on les pria de parler le sabbat suivant sur les mêmes choses;
43 et, à l'issue de l'assemblée, beaucoup de Juifs et de prosélytes pieux suivirent Paul et Barnabas, qui s'entretinrent avec eux, et les exhortèrent à rester attachés à la grâce de Dieu.
44 Le sabbat suivant, presque toute la ville se rassembla pour entendre la parole de Dieu.
45 Les Juifs, voyant la foule, furent remplis de jalousie, et ils s'opposaient à ce que disait Paul, en le contredisant et en l'injuriant.
46 Paul et Barnabas leur dirent avec assurance: C'est à vous premièrement que la parole de Dieu devait être annoncée; mais, puisque vous la repoussez, et que vous vous jugez vous-mêmes indignes de la vie éternelle, voici, nous nous tournons vers les païens.
47 Car ainsi nous l'a ordonné le Seigneur: Je t'ai établi pour être la lumière des nations, Pour porter le salut jusqu'aux extrémités de la terre.
48 Les païens se réjouissaient en entendant cela, ils glorifiaient la parole du Seigneur, et tous ceux qui étaient destinés à la vie éternelle crurent.
49 La parole du Seigneur se répandait dans tout le pays.
50 Mais les Juifs excitèrent les femmes dévotes de distinction et les principaux de la ville; ils provoquèrent une persécution contre Paul et Barnabas, et ils les chassèrent de leur territoire.
51 Paul et Barnabas secouèrent contre eux la poussière de leurs pieds, et allèrent à Icone,
52 tandis que les disciples étaient remplis de joie et du Saint Esprit.

First Missionary Journey
13 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets [who spoke a new message of God to the people] and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called [a]Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with [b]Herod [Antipas] the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul (Paul) for the work to which I have called them.” 3 Then after fasting and praying, they laid their hands on them [in approval and dedication] and sent them away [on their first journey].
4 So then, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 When Barnabas and Saul arrived at Salamis, they began to preach the word of God [proclaiming the message of eternal salvation through faith in Christ] in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had John [Mark] as their assistant. 6 When they had traveled through the entire island [of Cyprus] as far as Paphos, they found a sorcerer, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus, 7 who was [closely associated] with the [c]proconsul [of the province], Sergius Paulus, an intelligent and sensible man. He called for Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word of God [concerning eternal salvation through faith in Christ]. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is how his name is translated) opposed them, trying to turn the proconsul away from accepting the faith. 9 But [d]Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit and led by Him, looked steadily at Elymas, 10 and said, “[e]You [Elymas] who are full of every [kind of] deceit, and every [kind of] fraud, you son of the devil, enemy of everything that is right and good, will you never stop perverting the straight paths of the Lord?(A) 11 [f]Now, watch! The hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, [so blind that you will be] unable to see the sun for a time.” Immediately a mist and darkness fell upon him, and he groped around, seeking people to lead him by the hand. 12 The proconsul believed [the message of salvation] when he saw what had happened, being astonished at the teaching concerning the Lord.
13 Now Paul and his companions sailed from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but [g]John [Mark] left them and went back to Jerusalem. 14 Now they went on from Perga and arrived at Antioch in Pisidia, and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down. 15 After the reading of the Law and the [writings of the] Prophets, the officials of the synagogue sent word to them, saying, “Brothers (kinsmen), if you have any word of encouragement for the people, say it.” 16 So Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand, he said,
“Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen! 17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great and numerous during their stay [as foreigners] in the land of Egypt, and then with an [h]uplifted arm He led them out of there.(B) 18 For a period of about forty years He put up with their behavior in the wilderness.(C) 19 When He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave their land [to our ancestors] as an inheritance—this took about four hundred and fifty years.(D) 20 After this, He gave them judges until the prophet Samuel. 21 Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And when He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king: of him He testified and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart [conforming to My will and purposes], who will do all My will.’(E) 23 From this man’s descendants God has brought to Israel a Savior, [in the person of] Jesus, according to His promise. 24 Before [i]His coming John [the Baptist] had preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And as John was finishing his course [of ministry], he kept saying, ‘What or who do you think that I am? I am not He [the Christ]; but be aware, One is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie [even as His slave]!’
26 “Brothers, sons of Abraham’s family, and those among you who fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation [obtained through faith in Jesus Christ].(F) 27 For those who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, who failed to recognize or understand both Jesus and the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled these [very prophecies] by condemning Him. 28 And though they found no cause or charge deserving death, they asked Pilate to have Him executed. 29 And when they had finished carrying out everything that was written [in Scripture] about Him, they took Him down from the [j]cross and laid Him in a tomb. 30 But God raised Him from the dead; 31 and for many days (forty) He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now His witnesses to the people. 32 And we are bringing you the good news of the promise made to our fathers (ancestors), 33 that God has completely fulfilled this promise to our children by raising up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, ‘You are My Son; today I have begotten (fathered) You.’(G) 34 And [as for the fact] that He raised Him from the dead, never again to return to decay [in the grave], He has spoken in this way: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David [those blessings and mercies that were promised to him].’(H) 35 For this reason He also says in another Psalm, ‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see decay.’(I) 36 For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was buried among his fathers and experienced decay [in the grave]; 37 but He whom God raised [to life] did not experience decay [in the grave]. 38 So let it be clearly known by you, brothers, that through Him forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you; 39 and through Him everyone who believes [who acknowledges Jesus as Lord and Savior and follows Him] is [k]justified and declared free of guilt from all things, from which you could not be justified and freed of guilt through the Law of Moses. 40 Therefore be careful, so that the thing spoken of in the [writings of the] Prophets does not come upon you:
41
‘Look, you mockers, and marvel, and perish and vanish away;
For I am doing a work in your days,
A work which you will never believe, even if someone describes it to you [telling you about it in detail].’”(J)
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving [the synagogue], the people kept begging that these things might be spoken to them on the next Sabbath. 43 When the congregation of the synagogue had been dismissed, many of the Jews and the devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, talking to them were urging them to continue in the grace of God.
Paul Turns to the Gentiles
44 On the next Sabbath almost the entire [l]city gathered together to hear the word of the Lord [about salvation through faith in Christ]. 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things said by Paul, and were slandering him. 46 And [at the same time] Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and confidently, saying, “It was necessary that God’s message [of salvation through faith in Christ] be spoken to you [Jews] first. Since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, now we turn to the Gentiles. 47 For that is what the Lord has commanded us, saying,
‘I have placed You as a light for the Gentiles,
So that You may bring [the message of eternal] salvation to the end of the earth.’”(K)
48 When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying [praising and giving thanks for] the word of the Lord; and all those who had been appointed (designated, ordained) to eternal life [by God] believed [in Jesus as the Christ and their Savior]. 49 And so the word of the Lord [regarding salvation] was being spread through the entire region. 50 But the Jews incited the devout, prominent women and the leading men of the city, and instigated persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them forcibly out of their district. 51 But [m]they shook its dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.(L) 52 And the disciples were continually filled [throughout their hearts and souls] with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

13 1 Now in the church at Antioch(A) there were prophets(B) and teachers:(C) Barnabas,(D) Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene,(E) Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod(F) the tetrarch) and Saul. 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,(G) “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work(H) to which I have called them.”(I) 3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them(J) and sent them off.(K)
On Cyprus
4 The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit,(L) went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.(M) 5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God(N) in the Jewish synagogues.(O) John(P) was with them as their helper.
6 They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer(Q) and false prophet(R) named Bar-Jesus, 7 who was an attendant of the proconsul,(S) Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer(T) (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul(U) from the faith.(V) 9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit,(W) looked straight at Elymas and said, 10 “You are a child of the devil(X) and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?(Y) 11 Now the hand of the Lord is against you.(Z) You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.”(AA)
Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12 When the proconsul(AB) saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
In Pisidian Antioch
13 From Paphos,(AC) Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia,(AD) where John(AE) left them to return to Jerusalem. 14 From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch.(AF) On the Sabbath(AG) they entered the synagogue(AH) and sat down. 15 After the reading from the Law(AI) and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent word to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, please speak.”
16 Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand(AJ) and said: “Fellow Israelites and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me! 17 The God of the people of Israel chose our ancestors; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt; with mighty power he led them out of that country;(AK) 18 for about forty years he endured their conduct[a](AL) in the wilderness;(AM) 19 and he overthrew seven nations in Canaan,(AN) giving their land to his people(AO) as their inheritance.(AP) 20 All this took about 450 years.
“After this, God gave them judges(AQ) until the time of Samuel the prophet.(AR) 21 Then the people asked for a king,(AS) and he gave them Saul(AT) son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin,(AU) who ruled forty years. 22 After removing Saul,(AV) he made David their king.(AW) God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart;(AX) he will do everything I want him to do.’(AY)
23 “From this man’s descendants(AZ) God has brought to Israel the Savior(BA) Jesus,(BB) as he promised.(BC) 24 Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel.(BD) 25 As John was completing his work,(BE) he said: ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not the one you are looking for.(BF) But there is one coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’(BG)
26 “Fellow children of Abraham(BH) and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation(BI) has been sent. 27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus,(BJ) yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets(BK) that are read every Sabbath. 28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.(BL) 29 When they had carried out all that was written about him,(BM) they took him down from the cross(BN) and laid him in a tomb.(BO) 30 But God raised him from the dead,(BP) 31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem.(BQ) They are now his witnesses(BR) to our people.
32 “We tell you the good news:(BS) What God promised our ancestors(BT) 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus.(BU) As it is written in the second Psalm:
34 God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said,
35 So it is also stated elsewhere:
36 “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep;(BY) he was buried with his ancestors(BZ) and his body decayed. 37 But the one whom God raised from the dead(CA) did not see decay.
38 “Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.(CB) 39 Through him everyone who believes(CC) is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.(CD) 40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:
41 “‘Look, you scoffers,
wonder and perish,
for I am going to do something in your days
that you would never believe,
even if someone told you.’[e]”(CE)
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue,(CF) the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath. 43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.(CG)
44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. They began to contradict what Paul was saying(CH) and heaped abuse(CI) on him.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “We had to speak the word of God to you first.(CJ) Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.(CK) 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
“‘I have made you[f] a light for the Gentiles,(CL)
that you[g] may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’[h]”(CM)
48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord;(CN) and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
49 The word of the Lord(CO) spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jewish leaders incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.(CP) 51 So they shook the dust off their feet(CQ) as a warning to them and went to Iconium.(CR) 52 And the disciples(CS) were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.(CT)
