Acts 13:44-52

Revised Geneva Translation

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

⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the people, they were full of envy. And contradicting and blaspheming, they spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly, and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should have been spoken first to you. But seeing you reject it - and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life - lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁷ “For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, “I have made you a light of the Gentiles, so that you should be for salvation to the end of the world.”

⁴⁸ And when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as were appointed to eternal life, believed.

⁴⁹ Thus, the word of the Lord was spread throughout the whole country.

⁵⁰ But the Jews stirred up devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their region.

⁵¹ But they shook off the dust of their feet against them and came to Iconium.

⁵² And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
