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.

New King James Version
44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God. 45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they (A)opposed the things spoken by Paul. 46 Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, (B)“It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but (C)since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, (D)we turn to the Gentiles. 47 For so the Lord has commanded us:
(E)‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles,
That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
48 Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. (F)And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.
49 And the word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region. 50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, (G)raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51 (H)But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and came to Iconium. 52 And the disciples (I)were filled with joy and (J)with the Holy Spirit.
