Many Gentiles Believe
44 And the next (A)Sabbath, nearly the whole city assembled to hear the word of [a]the [b]Lord. 45 But when (B)the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, [c]blaspheming. 46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you (C)first. Since you reject it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, (D)we are turning to the Gentiles. 47 For so the [d]Lord has commanded us,
‘(E)I have placed You as a (F)light for the Gentiles,
That You may [e]bring salvation to the end of the earth.’”
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying (G)the word of [f]the [g]Lord, and as many as (H)had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 And (I)the word of the [h]Lord was being spread through the whole region. 50 But (J)the Jews incited the [i](K)God-fearing women (L)of prominence and the leading men of the city, and instigated a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their [j]district. 51 But (M)having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, they went to (N)Iconium. 52 And the disciples were continually (O)filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

44 The following Sabbath almost the whole town assembled to hear the word of the Lord.[a] 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what Paul was saying, insulting him.(A)
46 Paul and Barnabas boldly replied, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first. Since you reject it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles.(B) 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
48 When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and honored the word of the Lord, and all who had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited the prominent God-fearing women and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their district.(D) 51 But Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feet(E) against them(F) and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.(G)
