使徒行傳 13
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
巴拿巴和掃羅接受差遣
13 安提阿教會中有幾位先知和教師,就是巴拿巴、綽號「黑人」的希緬、古利奈人路求、與分封王希律一同長大的馬念以及掃羅。 2 一天,他們正在敬拜主、禁食的時候,聖靈對他們說:「要為我把巴拿巴和掃羅分別出來,好讓他們做我呼召他們去做的事。」 3 於是,他們禁食禱告並把手按在巴拿巴和掃羅身上,然後差遣他們出去。
4 二人受聖靈差遣,下到西流基,從那裡乘船去塞浦路斯。 5 他們到了撒拉米,就在當地的猶太會堂傳講上帝的道。約翰·馬可作他們的助手。
6 他們走遍全島,遠至帕弗,在那裡遇見一個冒充先知的猶太術士巴·耶穌。 7 這人和當地的士求·保羅總督常有來往。士求·保羅是個聰明人,他邀請了巴拿巴和掃羅來,要聽上帝的道。 8 但希臘名字叫以呂馬的那個術士反對使徒,試圖攔阻總督信主。 9 又名保羅的掃羅被聖靈充滿,盯著他說: 10 「你這魔鬼的兒子,充滿了詭詐和邪惡,是一切正義之敵,到現在還想歪曲主的正道嗎? 11 現在主要親手懲罰你,使你瞎眼,暫時不見天日!」
他頓覺眼前一片漆黑,只好四處摸索,求人領他走路。 12 總督看見所發生的事,對主的道感到驚奇,就信了。
保羅傳揚基督
13 保羅和同伴從帕弗乘船到旁非利亞的別加。約翰·馬可在那裡離開他們回耶路撒冷去了。 14 他們由別加繼續前行,來到彼西底區的安提阿。在安息日那天,他們進了會堂坐下來。 15 讀完律法書和先知書後,會堂主管派人告訴他們:「弟兄們,如果你們有什麼勸勉眾人的話,請講。」
16 保羅站起來向大家揮手示意,說:「各位以色列同胞和各位敬畏上帝的外族朋友們,請聽我說。 17 以色列的上帝揀選了我們的祖先,讓他們在埃及寄居期間人丁興旺成為大族,後來祂伸出臂膀帶領他們離開埃及。 18 他們在曠野漂泊的那四十年間,上帝一直照顧、容忍他們。 19 後來上帝又滅了迦南境內的七族,把土地分給他們作產業。 20 前後歷時約四百五十年。之後,上帝又為他們設立士師,直到撒母耳先知的時代。
21 「後來,他們求上帝為他們立一位王,上帝就選立便雅憫支派中基士的兒子掃羅為王,執政四十年。 22 之後,上帝廢掉掃羅,選立大衛作王,並為他作證說,『我找到了耶西的兒子大衛,他是合我心意的人,他必遵行我一切的旨意。』 23 上帝照自己的應許,從大衛的後裔中為以色列人立了一位救主,就是耶穌。 24 在耶穌還未公開露面以前,約翰已經勸告以色列人要悔改,接受洗禮。 25 約翰在工作快要完成的時候說,『你們以為我是誰?我不是基督。在我之後來的那位,我連給祂解鞋帶也不配。』
26 「弟兄們,各位亞伯拉罕的子孫和敬畏上帝的外族人啊,這救恩之道原是傳給我們的。 27 可是耶路撒冷的人和他們的官長不知道耶穌是基督,雖然每個安息日都誦讀先知的信息,卻把基督判死罪。這正應驗了先知們的話。 28 他們雖然找不到判祂死罪的理由,卻強求彼拉多將祂處死。 29 祂受死的記載全部應驗之後,有人把祂從十字架上取下來,安放在石墓裡。 30 但上帝卻使祂從死裡復活。 31 之後有許多天,那些從加利利跟隨祂上耶路撒冷的人都看見過祂,他們如今在百姓中都是祂的見證人。 32 我們要報給你們一個好消息,上帝給我們祖先的應許, 33 祂藉著使耶穌復活已為我們做子孫的成就了。正如詩篇第二篇所說,
『你是我的兒子,
我今日成為你父親。』
34 聖經曾這樣記載上帝使祂從死裡復活、永不朽壞的事,
『我必將應許大衛的聖潔、
可靠的恩福賜給你們。』
35 又在詩篇上說,
『你必不讓你的聖者身體朽壞。』
36 「大衛在世時遵行上帝的旨意,最後死了,葬在他祖先那裡,肉身也朽壞了。 37 然而,上帝使之復活的那位卻沒有朽壞。 38 所以,弟兄們,你們應該知道,赦罪的信息是藉著耶穌傳給你們的。 39 你們靠遵行摩西律法不能被稱為義人,只有信靠耶穌才能被稱為義人。 40 你們要當心,免得先知說的話應驗在你們身上,
41 『藐視真理的人啊,看吧!
你們要在驚懼中滅亡,
因為我要在你們的時代行一件事,
即使有人告訴你們,
你們也不會信。』」
42 保羅和巴拿巴離開會堂時,會堂裡的人請求他們下一個安息日再來講道。 43 許多猶太人和誠心改信猶太教的外族人都跟隨保羅和巴拿巴,二人就與他們談論,勸勉他們要堅定不移地信靠上帝的恩典。
44 到了下一個安息日,幾乎全城的人都聚集起來,要聽上帝的道。 45 猶太人看見那麼多人聚集,充滿嫉妒,便反駁保羅所講的,誹謗他。 46 保羅和巴拿巴毫不畏懼地說:「上帝的道本該先傳給你們,你們既然拒絕接受,認為自己不配得永生,我們現在就把這道傳給外族人。 47 因為主這樣吩咐我們,
『我已使你成為外族人的光,
好把救恩帶到地極。』」
48 外族人聽後,非常歡喜,頌讚主的道。凡被選定得永生的人都信了主。 49 主的道傳遍了那個地方。
50 但猶太人煽動虔誠的貴婦和城中顯要迫害保羅和巴拿巴,將二人趕出城去。 51 保羅和巴拿巴便當眾跺掉腳上的塵土[a],去了以哥念。 52 門徒滿心喜樂,被聖靈充滿。
Hechos 13
Nueva Versión Internacional
13 1 En la iglesia de Antioquía eran profetas y maestros: Bernabé, Simeón, apodado el Negro, Lucio de Cirene, Manaén, que se había criado con Herodes el tetrarca, y Saulo. 2 Mientras participaban en el culto al Señor y ayunaban, el Espíritu Santo dijo: «Apártenme ahora a Bernabé y a Saulo para el trabajo al que los he llamado».
3 Así que después de ayunar, orar e imponerles las manos, los despidieron.
En Chipre
4 Bernabé y Saulo, enviados por el Espíritu Santo, bajaron a Seleucia y de allí navegaron a Chipre. 5 Al llegar a Salamina, predicaron la palabra de Dios en las sinagogas de los judíos. Tenían también a Juan como ayudante.
6 Recorrieron toda la isla hasta Pafos. Allí se encontraron con un hechicero, un falso profeta judío llamado Barjesús, 7 que estaba con el gobernador[a] Sergio Paulo. El gobernador, hombre inteligente, mandó llamar a Bernabé y a Saulo, en un esfuerzo por escuchar la palabra de Dios. 8 Pero Elimas el hechicero, que es lo que significa su nombre, se les oponía y procuraba apartar de la fe al gobernador. 9 Entonces Saulo, o sea Pablo, lleno del Espíritu Santo, clavó los ojos en Elimas y le dijo: 10 «¡Hijo del diablo y enemigo de toda justicia, lleno de todo tipo de engaño y de fraude! ¿Nunca dejarás de torcer los caminos rectos del Señor? 11 Ahora la mano del Señor está contra ti; vas a quedarte ciego y por algún tiempo no podrás ver la luz del sol».
Al instante cayeron sobre él sombra y oscuridad, y comenzó a buscar a tientas a alguien que lo llevara de la mano. 12 Al ver lo sucedido, el gobernador creyó, maravillado de la enseñanza acerca del Señor.
En Antioquía de Pisidia
13 Pablo y sus compañeros se hicieron a la mar desde Pafos y llegaron a Perge de Panfilia. Juan se separó de ellos y regresó a Jerusalén; 14 ellos, por su parte, siguieron su viaje desde Perge hasta Antioquía de Pisidia. El sábado entraron en la sinagoga y se sentaron. 15 Al terminar la lectura de la Ley y los Profetas, los jefes de la sinagoga mandaron a decirles: «Hermanos, si tienen algún mensaje de aliento para el pueblo, hablen».
16 Pablo se puso en pie, hizo una señal con la mano y dijo: «Escúchenme, israelitas, y ustedes, los no judíos temerosos de Dios: 17 El Dios de este pueblo de Israel escogió a nuestros antepasados y engrandeció al pueblo mientras vivían como extranjeros en Egipto. Con gran poder los sacó de aquella tierra 18 y soportó su mal proceder[b] en el desierto unos cuarenta años. 19 Luego de destruir siete naciones en Canaán, dio a su pueblo la tierra de ellas en herencia. 20 Todo esto duró unos cuatrocientos cincuenta años.
»Después de esto, Dios les asignó jueces hasta los días del profeta Samuel. 21 Entonces pidieron un rey y Dios les dio a Saúl, hijo de Quis, de la tribu de Benjamín, quien gobernó por cuarenta años. 22 Tras destituir a Saúl, puso por rey a David, de quien dio este testimonio: “He encontrado en David, hijo de Isaí, un hombre conforme a mi corazón; él hará todo lo que yo quiera”.
23 »De los descendientes de este, conforme a la promesa, Dios ha traído a Israel un Salvador, que es Jesús. 24 Antes de la venida de Jesús, Juan predicó un bautismo de arrepentimiento a todo el pueblo de Israel. 25 Cuando estaba completando su carrera, Juan decía: “¿Quién suponen ustedes que soy? No soy aquel. Miren, después de mí viene uno a quien no soy digno ni siquiera de desatarle las sandalias”.
26 »Hermanos, descendientes de Abraham, y ustedes, los no judíos temerosos de Dios: a nosotros se nos ha enviado este mensaje de salvación. 27 Los habitantes de Jerusalén y sus gobernantes no reconocieron a Jesús. Por tanto, al condenarlo, cumplieron las palabras de los profetas que se leen todos los sábados. 28 Aunque no encontraron ninguna causa digna de muerte, pidieron a Pilato que lo mandara a ejecutar. 29 Después de llevar a cabo todas las cosas que estaban escritas acerca de él, lo bajaron del madero y lo sepultaron. 30 Pero Dios lo levantó de entre los muertos. 31 Durante muchos días lo vieron los que habían subido con él de Galilea a Jerusalén y ahora ellos son sus testigos ante el pueblo.
32 »Nosotros les anunciamos las buenas noticias respecto a la promesa hecha a nuestros antepasados. 33 Dios nos la ha cumplido plenamente a nosotros, los descendientes de ellos, al resucitar a Jesús. Como está escrito en el segundo salmo:
»“Tú eres mi Hijo;
hoy mismo te he engendrado”.[c]
34 Dios lo resucitó para que no volviera jamás a la corrupción. Así se cumplieron estas palabras:
»“Yo les daré las bendiciones santas y seguras prometidas a David”.
35 Por eso dice en otro pasaje:
»“No permitirás que tu santo sufra corrupción”.[d]
36 »En verdad David, después de servir a su propia generación conforme al propósito de Dios, murió, fue sepultado con sus antepasados y su cuerpo sufrió la corrupción. 37 Pero aquel a quien Dios resucitó no sufrió la corrupción de su cuerpo.
38 »Por tanto, hermanos, sepan que por medio de Jesús se les anuncia el perdón de los pecados. 39 Ustedes no pudieron ser justificados de esos pecados por la Ley de Moisés, pero todo el que cree es justificado por medio de Jesús. 40 Tengan cuidado, no sea que les suceda lo que han dicho los profetas:
41 »“¡Miren, burlones!
¡Asómbrense y desaparezcan!
Estoy por hacer en estos días una obra
que ustedes nunca creerán,
aunque alguien se la contara”».[e]
42 Al salir ellos de la sinagoga, los invitaron a que el siguiente sábado hablaran más de estas cosas. 43 Cuando se disolvió la asamblea, muchos judíos y fieles convertidos al judaísmo acompañaron a Pablo y a Bernabé, los cuales en su conversación con ellos les instaron a perseverar en la gracia de Dios.
44 El siguiente sábado casi toda la ciudad se congregó para oír la palabra del Señor. 45 Pero cuando los judíos vieron a las multitudes, se llenaron de envidia y contradecían con maldiciones lo que Pablo decía.
46 Pablo y Bernabé contestaron valientemente: «Era necesario que anunciáramos la palabra de Dios primero a ustedes. Como la rechazan y no se consideran dignos de la vida eterna, ahora vamos a dirigirnos a los que no son judíos. 47 Así nos lo ha mandado el Señor:
»“Te he puesto por luz para las naciones,
a fin de que lleves mi salvación hasta los confines de la tierra”».[f]
48 Al oír esto, los que no eran judíos se alegraron y celebraron la palabra del Señor; y creyeron todos los que estaban destinados a la vida eterna.
49 La palabra del Señor se difundía por toda la región. 50 Pero los judíos incitaron a mujeres muy distinguidas y fieles al judaísmo, también a los hombres más prominentes de la ciudad y provocaron una persecución contra Pablo y Bernabé. Por tanto, los expulsaron de la región. 51 Ellos, por su parte, se sacudieron el polvo de los pies en señal de protesta contra la ciudad y se fueron a Iconio. 52 Y los discípulos quedaron llenos de alegría y del Espíritu Santo.
Acts 13
World English Bible
13 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant. 6 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus, 7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him 10 and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!”
Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem. 14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down. 15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
16 Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen. 17 The God of this people[a] chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it. 18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness. 19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years. 20 After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. 21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’ 23 From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation[b] to Israel according to his promise, 24 before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.[c] 25 As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
26 “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you. 27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. 28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed. 29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and 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 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers, 33 that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm,
‘You are my Son.
Today I have become your father.’(A)
34 “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’(B) 35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’(C) 36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay. 37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay. 38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers,[d] that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins; 39 and 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 that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
41 ‘Behold, you scoffers!
Wonder and perish,
for I work a work in your days,
a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’” (D)
42 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 synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God. 45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. 47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying,
‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles,
that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’” (E)
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. 49 The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region. 50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders. 51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium. 52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Acts 13
New International Version
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)
