Acts 13:44-52
Wycliffe Bible
44 And in the sabbath following almost all the city came together, to hear the word of God.
45 And Jews saw the people, and were filled with envy, and gainsaid these things that were said of Paul, and blasphemed [and against-said these things that were said of Paul, blaspheming].
46 Then Paul and Barnabas steadfastly said, To you it behooved first to speak the word of God; but for ye put it away, and have deemed you unworthy to everlasting life [of everlasting life], lo! we turn to heathen men.
47 For so the Lord commanded us, I have set thee into light of heathen men, that thou be into health to the utmost of the earth [unto the uttermost of the earth].
48 And heathen men heard, and joyed, and glorified the word of the Lord; and believed, as many as were before-ordained to everlasting life. [Soothly heathen men hearing joyed, and glorified the word of the Lord; and believed, how many ever were ordained to everlasting life.]
49 And the word of the Lord was sown in all that country. [Forsooth the word of the Lord was far sown by all the country.]
50 But the Jews stirred religious women, and honest, and the worthiest men of the city [and the first men of the city], and stirred persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their countries [and cast them out of their countries].
51 And they shook away into them the dust of their feet [And they shook away the powder of feet into them], and came to Iconium.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Ghost.

New Matthew Bible
44 And the next Sabbath day, almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.
45 When the Jews saw the people, they were full of indignation and spoke against those things that were said by Paul, contradicting and railing on it. 46 Then Paul and Barnabas were bold and said, It was fitting that the word of God should first have been preached to you. But seeing you put it from you, and think yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. 47 For so has the Lord commanded us: I have made you a light to the Gentiles, to be salvation to the end of the world.
48 The Gentiles heard and were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord and believed – even as many as were appointed to eternal life. 49 And the word of the Lord went abroad throughout all the region.
50 But the Jews moved the devout and honourable women and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their district. 51 And they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

44 And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together, to hear the word of God.
45 [a]But when the Jews saw the people, they were full of envy, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them.
46 [b]Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken unto you: but seeing ye put it from you, and [c]judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, (A)I have made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the salvation unto 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 [d]ordained unto eternal life, believed.
49 Thus the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country.
50 [e]But the Jews stirred certain [f]devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
51 [g]But they (B)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.
