Acts 13:32-52

English Standard Version

³² And we bring you the good news ^(A)that what God promised to the fathers, ^33 (B)this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,

³⁴ And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, ^(D)(E)no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,

³⁵ Therefore he says also in another psalm,

³⁶ For David, after he had ^(H)served the purpose of God in his own generation, ^(I)fell asleep and ^(J)was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, ³⁷ but he whom ^(K)God raised up did not see corruption. ³⁸ Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, ^(L)that through this man ^(M)forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, ³⁹ and by him ^(N)everyone who believes is freed^[a] from everything ^(O)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:

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 ^(Q)devout ^(R)converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them ^(S)to continue in ^(T)the grace of God.

⁴⁴ The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. ^45 (U)But ^(V)when the Jews^[b] saw the crowds, they were filled with ^(W)jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, ^(X)reviling him. ⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God ^(Y)be spoken first to you. ^(Z)Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves ^(AA)unworthy of eternal life, behold, we ^(AB)are turning to the Gentiles. ^47 (AC)For so the Lord has commanded us, saying,

⁴⁸ And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and ^(AG)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 (AH)But the Jews incited the devout ^(AI)women of high standing and the leading men of the city, ^(AJ)stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and ^(AK)drove them out of their district. ⁵¹ But they ^(AL)shook off the dust from their feet against them and went to Iconium. ⁵² And the disciples were filled ^(AM)with joy and ^(AN)with the Holy Spirit.
