Barnabas and Saul Sent Out from Antioch
13 Now there were prophets and teachers in Antioch in the church that was there: Barnabas, and Simeon (who was called Niger), and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen (a close friend of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul. 2 And while[a] they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart now for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3 Then, after they[b] had fasted and prayed and placed their[c] hands on them, they sent them[d] away.
Confronting a Magician on Cyprus
4 Therefore, sent out by the Holy Spirit, they came down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed away to Cyprus. 5 And when they[e] came to Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they also had John as assistant. 6 And when they[f] had crossed over the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus, 7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and[g] wished to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the magician (for his name is translated in this way) opposed them, attempting to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9 But Saul (also called Paul), filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 10 and[h] said, “O you who are full of all deceit and of all unscrupulousness, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness! Will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord! 11 And now behold, the hand of the Lord is against you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a while.[i] And immediately mist and darkness fell over him, and he was going around looking for people[j] to lead him[k] by the hand. 12 Then when[l] the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, because he[m] was astounded at the teaching about[n] the Lord.
Preaching in the Synagogue at Pisidian Antioch
13 Now Paul and his companions[o] put out to sea from Paphos and[p] came to Perga in Pamphylia, but John departed from them and[q] returned to Jerusalem. 14 And they went on from Perga and[r] arrived at Pisidian Antioch. And they entered into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbath and[s] sat down. 15 So after the reading from the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent word[t] to them, saying, “Men and brothers, if there is any message of exhortation by you for the people, say it.”[u]
16 So Paul stood up,[v] and motioning with his[w] hand, he said, “Israelite men, and those who fear God, listen! 17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and exalted the people during their[x] stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it. 18 And for a period of time of about forty years, he put up with them in the wilderness. 19 And after[y] destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave their land to his people[z] as an inheritance. 20 This took[aa] about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things, he gave them[ab] judges until Samuel the prophet. 21 And then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And after[ac] removing him, he raised up David for their king, about whom he also said, testifying, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse to be a man in accordance with my heart, who will carry out all my will.’[ad] 23 From the descendants of this man, according to his promise, God brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus. 24 Before his coming[ae] John had publicly proclaimed[af] a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 But while John was completing his[ag] mission, he said, ‘What do you suppose me to be? I am not he! But behold, one is coming after me of whom I am not worthy to untie the sandals of his[ah] feet!’
26 “Men and brothers, sons of the family of Abraham and those among you who fear God—to us the message of this salvation has been sent! 27 For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they[ai] did not recognize this one, and the voices of the prophets that are read on every Sabbath, fulfilled them[aj] by[ak] condemning him.[al] 28 And although they[am] found no charge worthy of death, they asked Pilate that he be executed. 29 And when they had carried out all the things that were written about him, they took him[an] down from the tree and[ao] placed him[ap] in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 who appeared for many days to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem—who are now his witnesses to the people. 32 And we proclaim the good news to you: that the promise that was made to the fathers, 33 this promise[aq] God has fulfilled to our children[ar] by[as] raising Jesus, as it is also written in the second psalm,
‘You are my Son;
today I have fathered you.’[at]
34 But that he has raised him from the dead, no more going to return to decay, he has spoken in this way: ‘I will give you the reliable divine decrees of David.’[au] 35 Therefore he also says in another psalm,[av]
‘You will not permit your Holy One to experience decay.’[aw]
36 For David, after[ax] serving the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was buried with[ay] his fathers, and experienced decay. 37 But he whom God raised up did not experience decay.
38 “Therefore let it be known to you, men and brothers, that through this one forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and from all the things from which you were not able to be justified by the law of Moses, 39 by this one everyone who believes is justified! 40 Watch out, therefore, lest what is stated by the prophets come upon you:[az]
41 ‘Look, you scoffers,
and be astonished and perish!
For I am doing a work in your days,
a work that you would never believe
even if someone were to tell it[ba] to you.’”[bb]
Response to the Message in Pisidian Antioch
42 And as[bc] they were going out, they began urging[bd] that these things be spoken about to them on the next Sabbath. 43 And after[be] the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and the devout[bf] proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking to them and[bg] were persuading them to continue in the grace of God. 44 And on the coming Sabbath, nearly the whole city came together to hear the word of the Lord. 45 But when[bh] the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and began contradicting what was being said by Paul by[bi] reviling him.[bj] 46 Both Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and[bk] said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you, since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life! Behold, we are turning to the Gentiles! 47 For so the Lord has commanded us:
‘I have appointed you to be[bl] a light for the Gentiles,
that you would bring[bm] salvation to the end of the earth.’[bn]
48 And when[bo] the Gentiles heard this,[bp] they began to rejoice[bq] and to glorify the word of the Lord. And all those who were designated for eternal life believed. 49 So the word of the Lord was carried through the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited the devout women of high social standing and the most prominent men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and threw them out of their district. 51 So after[br] shaking off the dust from their feet against them, they went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

New International Version
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)

Travay 13
Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil
Banabas ak Sòl gen yon travay espesyal
13 Nan legliz Antyòch la, te gen kèk pwofèt ansanm ak moun ki t ap anseye fidèl yo. Moun sa yo se te Banabas, Simeyon (yo te rele l mesye ki nwa a), Liziyis, moun lavil Sirèn nan, Manayèn (ki te leve ansanm ak wa Ewòd[a]), ak Sòl. 2 Pandan mesye sa yo te reyini pou fè sèvis pou Senyè a, yo t ap fè jèn, Sentespri a di yo: “Mete Banabas ak Sòl apa pou mwen pou travay mwen rele yo pou yo fè a.”
3 Konsa, legliz la fè jèn epi yo priye. Apre sa, yo mete men sou tèt Banabas ak Sòl epi yo kite yo ale.
Banabas ak Sòl sou zile Chip
4 Sentespri a te voye Banabas ak Sòl. Yo pati ale nan vil Selesi. Pandan yo te Selesi, yo pran batiman pou y al nan zile Chip. 5 Lè Banabas ak Sòl rive nan vil Salamin, yo kòmanse preche Bòn Nouvèl Bondye a nan sinagòg Jwif yo. Yo te gen Jan Mak avèk yo pou ede yo.
6 Banabas ak Sòl te travèse tout zile a nèt jouk rive Pafòs. Rive yo rive Pafòs, yo rakontre yon majisyen yo te rele Bajezi. Bajezi sa a se te yon Jwif ki te vle fè tèt li pase pou yon pwofèt. 7 Li te yon pwòch Sèjiyis Polis ki te gouvènè zile a epi ki te yon nonm entèlijan tou. Sèjiyis te envite Banabas ak Sòl vin lakay li, paske li te anvi pou l tande Bòn Nouvèl Bondye a. 8 Men, majisyen an, Elimas (paske se non sa a li te genyen nan lang Grèk la), t ap kenbe tèt avèk yo. Li t ap chache detounen gouvènè a pou l pa t mete konfyans li nan Kris la. 9 Sòl limenm (yo te rele l Pòl tou) te fikse je l sou majisyen an, pandan l te anba pouvwa Sentespri a. 10 Pòl di: “Se pitit Satan w ye, kè w plen ak manti ak mechanste! Ou se lènmi tout sa ki bon. Jouk ki lè ou ap sispann fè verite Bondye a pase pou manti? 11 Kounye a, Bondye pral frape w. Ou ap avèg. Ou p ap wè limyè solèy la pandan kèk tan. Menm lè a, Elimas vin avèg. Tout bagay vin tou nwa devan je l. Li t ap vire kò l adwat agoch, ap chache yon moun ki pou kenbe men l, pou kondui l.”
12 Lè gouvènè zile a wè sa k te pase a, li vin kwè. Li te sezi anpil, lè l tande ansèyman mesye yo konsènan Senyè a.
Pòl ak Banabas ale nan Antyòch nan Pisidi
13 Pòl ak moun ki te avèk li yo pran batiman nan Pafòs pou ale nan vil Pèj, nan rejyon Panfili. Pandan yo nan Pèj, Jan Mak kite yo, li retounen Jerizalèm. 14 Lè yo kite Pèj, yo kontinye vwayaje pou ale Antyòch ki nan Pisidi. Nan jou repo a, yo antre nan Sinagòg la epi yo chita.
15 Apre yo fin li nan liv Lalwa Moyiz la ak nan liv pwofèt yo, lidè yo nan sinagòg la voye mande Pòl ak Banabas si yo ta gen yon bagay pou di pèp la pou ede l, yo ta mèt pran lapawòl.
16 Pòl leve kanpe, li fè yon jès ak men l pou atire atansyon moun yo epi li di: “Nou menm pèp Izrayèl ak nou menm ki pa jwif, men k ap sèvi Bondye tou, fè yon ti koute m tanpri. 17 Se Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki te chwazi zansèt nou yo. Pandan yo t ap viv kòm etranje nan peyi Lejip, Bondye te fè yo vin anpil anpil. Apre sa, ak fòs ponyèt li, li fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip. 18 Bondye te pran pasyans avèk yo pandan karant (40) an nan dezè a. 19 Li detwi sèt nasyon nan tèritwa Kanaran an, epi l bay pèp li a tè yo kòm byen pa yo. 20 Tout bagay sa yo te rive pandan 450 ane konsa. Apre sa, Bondye ba yo plizyè jij pou dirije yo jouk rive nan tan pwofèt Samyèl.
21 Apre peryòd jij yo, pèp la vin mande pou yo gen yon wa, epi Bondye ba yo Sayil, pitit gason Kis la. Sayil te soti nan tribi Benjamen. Li te renye sou Izrayèl pandan karant (40) an. 22 Apre Bondye te fin rejte Sayil, li bay pèp la David kòm wa. Men sa Bondye limenm te di konsènan David: Mwen jwenn David, pitit gason Izayi a, yon nonm ki nan gou m. Li va fè tout sa mwen vle l fè.
23 Jan Bondye te pwomèt la, li voye Jezi, yon pitit pitit David, vin delivre pèp Izrayèl la. 24 Anvan menm Jezi te vini, Janbatis te pwoklame yon mesaj pou fè pèp la konnen sa pou yo fè. Li di tout pèp Iszrayèl la pou yo batize pou yo ka montre yo vle chanje lavi yo toutbon vre. 25 Lè Jan te prèske fini ak travay li te gen pou l akonpli a, li di pèp la: Ki moun nou panse m ye? Se pa mwen ki Mesi a,[b] sila a nou tout ap tann nan. Li menm, l ap vin apre m. Mwen pa menm kalifye pou m ta delase lasèt sandal li.
26 Frè m yo, nou menm pitit pitit Abraram, nou menm tou ki pa jwif, men ki gen krentif pou Bondye, Bondye voye fè nou konnen li vin delivre nou. 27 Jwif ki nan Jerizalèm yo ansanm ak tout lidè yo pa t reyalize se Jezi ki Sovè a. Malgre yo t ap li pawòl pwofèt yo te pwoklame yo chak jou saba, yo pa t konprann anyen ladan yo. Lè yo kondane Jezi, yo fè pawòl pwofèt tounen verite a. 28 Malgre yo pa t ka jwenn anyen ki pou ta fè Jezi merite lanmò, yo mande Pilat touye l kanmenm.
29 Jwif sa yo te fè tout move bagay Bib la te di ki t ap rive Jezi. Apre sa yo desann Jezi sou kwa a, epi yo mete l nan tonbo. 30 Men Bondye Papa a te resisite Jezi. 31 Apre sa, pandan plizyè jou, moun ki te soti Galile pou monte Jerizalèm avèk Jezi yo te wè li; Kounye a, se yo menm k ap temwanye rezireksyon l devan pèp la.
32 Nou menm, nou vin anonse nou Bòn Nouvèl konsènan pwomès Bondye te fè zansèt nou yo. 33 Nou menm, nou se pitit pitit yo, epi Bondye fè pwomès la reyalize pou nou lè li fè Jezi leve soti vivan lanmò a. Anplis, men sa ki ekri tou nan Sòm 2 nan Bib la:
Ou se pitit mwen.
Depi jodi a, se mwen menm ki papa w.(A)
34 Bondye te resisite Jezi pou l pa t janm pouri ankò. Se sa k fè Bondye te di:
M ap ba ou tout bon bagay
mwen te pwomèt David yo.(B)
35 Nan yon lòt pasaj, li ekri ankò:
Ou p ap kite moun ki apa pou ou a pouri anba tè.(C)
36 David li menm te fè volonte Bondye pandan tout lavi li. Apre sa, li mouri, yo antere l tankou tout zansèt li yo. Kò David pouri anba tè! 37 Men, sila a Bondye resisite a, li pa pouri anba tè. 38-39 Frè n yo, konprann byen sa n ap anonse nou an. Nou kapab jwenn padon pou peche nou yo nan Jezikris. Lalwa Moyiz la pa t ka delivre nou anba peche nou yo, men nou kapab jwenn padon pou peche nou epi ranje lavi nou avèk Bondye si sèlman nou kwè nan Jezi. 40 Kidonk, se pou n pran prekosyon pou bagay pwofèt yo te di a pa rive nou:
41 Gade non, nou menm ki gen dout nan kè nou,
nou gen pou n sezi, epi n ap mouri met sou li;
Paske pandan tan pa nou an la,
m pral fè yon bagay nou p ap kwè.
Nou pa t ap janm kwè l,
menmsi moun ta rakonte nou li!”(D)
42 Lè Pòl ak Banabas ap vire pou y ale, moun yo mande yo pou yo retounen nan pwochen jou repo a pou kontinye pale avèk yo sou tout bagay sa yo. 43 Apre reyinyon an nan Sinagòg la, anpil jwif ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon ki te vin konvèti nan relijyon Jwif yo te swiv Pòl ak Banabas. Pòl ak Banabas te sezi okazyon an pou ankouraje yo pou yo kontinye kenbe fèm nan gras Bondye a.
44 Nan pwochen repo a, prèske tout moun nan lavil la te rasanble pou yo tande pawòl Senyè a. 45 Lè Jwif yo wè tout moun sa yo te rasanble, yo vin gen anpil jalouzi nan kè yo. Yo tonbe ap demanti tout sa Pòl t ap di, epi yo tonbe joure. 46 Men, Pòl ak Banabas pa t kraponnen, yo di: “Nou te gen pou n pwoklame Bòn Nouvèl Bondye a bay nou menm jwif yo anvan, men nou refize tande l. Sa vle di nou pa konsidere tèt nou kòm moun ki bon ase pou n gen lavi etènèl la. Kidonk, kounye a nou pral kòmanse preche moun lòt nasyon yo. 47 Paske, men sa Senyè a menm te di nou:
Mwen mete w pou sèvi yon limyè pou lòt nasyon yo,
pou montre moun toupatou sou latè kijan pou yo sove.”(E)
48 Lè moun lòt nasyon yo tande Pòl di pawòl sa yo, sa te fè yo kontan anpil. Yo te tonbe fè lwanj pou Bòn Nouvèl Bondye a. Anpil nan yo te kwè, paske Bondye te gentan chwazi yo pou yo gen lavi etènèl la.
49 Konsa, mesaj Bòn Nouvèl Bondye a te preche nan tout peyi a. 50 Men, Jwif yo menm te monte tèt yon ekip gwo medam lavil la ki te konvèti nan relijyon yo a, ansanm ak lidè yo pou soulve yo kont Pòl ak Banabas. Yo tout te tonbe pèsekite Pòl ak Banabas epi yo chase yo mete deyò nan vil la. 51 Konsa, Pòl ak Banabas souke pousyè pye yo[c] sou moun yo, epi yo pati al nan vil Ikonyòm. 52 Disip nan vil Antyòch yo menm te gen anpil kè kontan epi Sentespri a te ranpli yo.

Acts 13
King James Version
Acts 13
King James Version
13 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.
10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
30 But God raised him from the dead:
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
