¹⁴ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and ^(A)went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.

¹³ And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there.

^4 (A)And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

^8 (A)And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading ^(B)concerning the things of the kingdom of God.

⁴⁴ On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.
