13 Now de there were eimi in en Antioch Antiocheia in kata the ho local eimi church ekklēsia prophets prophētēs and kai teachers didaskalos, · ho both te Barnabas Barnabas and kai Simeon Symeōn who ho was called kaleō Niger Niger, · kai Lucius Loukios the ho Cyrenian Kyrēnaios, and te Manaen Manaēn, the foster-brother syntrophos of Herod hērōdēs the ho tetrarch tetraarchēs, and kai Saul Saulos. While they autos were performing leitourgeō their service · de to the ho Lord kyrios and kai fasting nēsteuō, the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma said legō, · ho Set aphorizō apart for me egō · ho Barnabas Barnabas and kai Saul Saulos for eis the ho work ergon to which hos I have called proskaleō them autos.” Then tote after fasting nēsteuō and kai praying proseuchomai · kai they laid epitithēmi their ho hands cheir on them autos and sent apolyō them off .

So oun they autos, being sent ekpempō out by hypo the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, went down katerchomai to eis Seleucia Seleukeia, and te from there ekeithen they sailed apopleō to eis Cyprus Kypros. And kai when they arrived ginomai in en Salamis Salamis, they began to proclaim katangellō the ho word logos of ho God theos in en the ho synagogues synagōgē of the ho Jews Ioudaios, and de they also kai had echō John Iōannēs as their assistant hypēretēs. When they had gone dierchomai through · de the ho whole holos island nēsos as achri far as Paphos Paphos, they met heuriskō a certain tis man anēr, a magician magos, a Jewish Ioudaios false pseudoprophētēs prophet named hos onoma Bar-Jesus Bariēsous, who hos was eimi with syn the ho proconsul anthypatos Sergius Sergios Paulus Paulos, an intelligent synetos man anēr. This houtos man summoned proskaleō Barnabas Barnabas and kai Saul Saulos and wanted epizēteō to hear akouō the ho word logos of ho God theos. But de Elymas Elymas the ho magician magos ( for gar that is the way houtōs his autos name onoma is translated methermēneuō) · ho opposed anthistēmi them autos, trying zēteō to turn diastrephō the ho proconsul anthypatos away apo from the ho faith pistis. But de Saul Saulos, who ho is also kai Paul Paulos, filled pimplēmi with the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, looked atenizō intently at eis him autos 10 and said legō, “ O ō man full plērēs of all pas kinds of deceit dolos and kai all pas fraud rhadiourgia, son hyios of the devil diabolos, enemy echthros of all pas righteousness dikaiosynē, will you not ou stop pauō making diastrephō crooked the ho straight paths hodos of the ho Lord kyrios? · ho 11 And kai now nyn, behold idou, the hand cheir of the Lord kyrios is upon epi you sy, and kai you will be eimi blind typhlos, not seeing blepō the ho sun hēlios for achri a time kairos.” And te immediately parachrēma fell piptō upon epi him autos mist achlys and kai darkness skotos, and kai as he went periagō about he sought zēteō someone to lead cheiragōgos him by the hand . 12 Then tote the ho proconsul anthypatos believed pisteuō, when he saw what ho had occurred ginomai, for he was astonished ekplēssō at epi the ho teaching didachē of the ho Lord kyrios.

13 Then de Paul Paulos and those ho with peri him put anagō out to sea from apo · ho Paphos Paphos and came erchomai to eis Perga Pergē of ho Pamphylia Pamphylia. John Iōannēs, however de, left apochōreō them autos and returned hypostrephō to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma; 14 but de they autos went dierchomai on from apo · ho Perga Pergē and arrived paraginomai at eis Pisidian Pisidia Antioch Antiocheia. · ho · kai On the ho sabbath sabbaton day hēmera they went erchomai into eis the ho synagogue synagōgē · ho and sat kathizō down . 15 After meta · de the ho reading anagnōsis from the ho Law nomos and kai the ho Prophets prophētēs, the ho rulers of the synagogue archisynagōgos sent apostellō a message to pros them autos, saying legō, “ My brothers anēr, if ei there is eimi any tis among en you hymeis with a word logos of encouragement paraklēsis for pros the ho people laos, say legō it.” 16 So de Paul Paulos stood anistēmi up , and kai gesturing kataseiō with his ho hand cheir, said legō, “ Men anēr of Israel Israēlitēs and kai you who ho fear phobeomai · ho God theos, listen akouō: 17 The ho God theos of ho this houtos people laos Israel Israēl chose eklegomai · ho our hēmeis fathers patēr and kai made the ho people laos great hypsoō during en their ho stay paroikia in en the land of Egypt Aigyptos; then kai with meta uplifted hypsēlos arm brachiōn he led exagō them autos out ek of it autos. 18 And kai for chronos about hōs forty tesserakontaetēs years he put tropophoreō up with their autos ways in en the ho wilderness erēmos. 19 · kai After he had destroyed kathaireō seven hepta nations ethnos in en the land of Canaan Chanaan, he gave kataklēronomeō them · ho their autos land as an inheritance . 20 All this took about hōs four hundred tetrakosioi fifty pentēkonta years etos. · kai · kai After meta this houtos he gave didōmi them judges kritēs until heōs Samuel Samouēl the ho prophet prophētēs. 21 Then kakeithen they asked aiteō for a king basileus, and kai God theos gave didōmi them autos · ho · ho Saul Saoul, son hyios of Kish Kis, a man anēr from ek the tribe phylē of Benjamin Beniamin, who ruled forty tesserakonta years etos. 22 · kai After removing methistēmi him autos, he raised egeirō up · ho David Dauid to be eis their autos king basileus, of whom hos · kai he said legō by way of testimony martyreō: ‘ I have found heuriskō in David Dauid the ho son of ho Jesse Iessai a man anēr after kata · ho my egō heart kardia, who hos will do poieō everything pas · ho I egō want thelēma him to.’ 23 It was from apo the ho offspring sperma of this man houtos that · ho God theos according kata to promise epangelia brought agō to ho Israel Israēl a savior sōtēr, Jesus Iēsous. 24 Before pro his autos coming eisodos John Iōannēs had proclaimed prokēryssō · ho a baptism baptisma of repentance metanoia to all pas the ho people laos of Israel Israēl. 25 And de as hōs John Iōannēs was completing plēroō his ho ministry dromos, he said legō repeatedly , ‘ What tis do you suppose hyponoeō me egō to be eimi? I egō am eimi not ou he. But alla behold idou, one is coming erchomai after meta me egō of whom hos I am eimi not ou worthy axios to untie lyō the ho sandals hypodēma for his ho feet pous.’

26  My brothers anēr, sons hyios of the family genos of Abraham Abraam, and kai those ho among en you hymeis who fear phobeomai · ho God theos, it is to us hēmeis that the ho message logos of ho this houtos salvation sōtēria has been sent exapostellō. 27 For gar those ho who live katoikeō in en Jerusalem Ierousalēm and kai · ho their autos rulers archōn, because they did not recognize agnoeō him houtos nor kai understand the ho utterances phōnē of the ho prophets prophētēs, which ho are read anaginōskō every pas Sabbath sabbaton, fulfilled plēroō them by condemning krinō him. 28 And kai though they found heuriskō no mēdeis crime aitia deserving death thanatos, they asked aiteō Pilate Pilatos to have him autos executed anaireō. 29 And de when hōs they had carried teleō out everything pas that ho was written graphō about peri him autos, they took kathaireō him down from apo the ho tree xylon and laid tithēmi him in eis a tomb mnēmeion. 30 · ho But de God theos raised egeirō him autos from ek the dead nekros, 31 and he hos was seen horaō for epi many polys days hēmera by those ho who had gone synanabainō up with him autos from apo · ho Galilee Galilaia to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, who hostis are eimi now nyn his autos witnesses martys to pros the ho people laos. 32 And kai we hēmeis are telling you hymeis the good news euangelizō regarding the ho promise epangelia that was made ginomai to pros the ho fathers patēr, 33 that hoti God theos has fulfilled ekplēroō this houtos · ho for us hēmeis, · ho their autos children teknon, by raising anistēmi Jesus Iēsous; as hōs also kai in en the ho second deuteros Psalm psalmos it is written graphō, · ho You sy are eimi my egō Son hyios; today sēmeron I egō have begotten gennaō you sy.’ 34 But de regarding the fact that hoti he has raised anistēmi Jesus autos from ek the dead nekros, no mēketi more about mellō to return hypostrephō to eis corruption diaphthora, thus houtōs he said legō: ‘ I will give didōmi to you hymeis the ho sacred hosios and sure pistos promises made to David Dauid.’ · ho 35 So dioti also kai in en another heteros psalm he says legō, ‘ You will not ou let didōmi · ho your sy Holy hosios One see corruption diaphthora.’ 36 For gar David Dauid, after he had served hypēreteō the ho purpose boulē of ho God theos in his own idios generation genea, fell koimaō asleep and kai was laid prostithēmi with pros · ho his autos fathers patēr and kai saw corruption diaphthora, 37 but de he whom hos · ho God theos raised egeirō up did not ou see corruption diaphthora. 38 Therefore oun let it be eimi known gnōstos to you hymeis, my brothers anēr, that hoti through dia this houtos one forgiveness aphesis of sins hamartia is being proclaimed katangellō to you hymeis; and kai from apo all pas from which hos you could dynamai not ou be set free dikaioō by en the law nomos of Moses Mōysēs, 39 by en this houtos man everyone pas who ho believes pisteuō is set free dikaioō. 40 Take blepō care then oun that what ho was spoken legō in en the ho prophets prophētēs does eperchomai not happen eperchomai to you. 41 ‘Look, you ho scoffers kataphronētēs; · kai be amazed thaumazō and kai perish aphanizō!

42 As they autos went out, · de the people begged parakaleō that these houtos things rhēma be discussed laleō with them autos on eis the ho next metaxy Sabbath sabbaton. · ho 43 And de after the meeting of the ho synagogue synagōgē broke up lyō, many polys · ho Jews Ioudaios and kai · ho devout sebō converts prosēlytos followed akoloutheō · ho Paul Paulos and kai · ho Barnabas Barnabas, who hostis, as they spoke proslaleō with them autos, were persuading peithō them autos to continue prosmenō in the ho grace charis of ho God theos.

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. 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.” Then after fasting and (H)praying they laid their hands on them and (I)sent them off.

Barnabas and Saul on Cyprus

So, being sent out (J)by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
