1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul.2 And while they were doing the Lord's work, and going without food, the Holy Spirit said, Let Barnabas and Saul be given to me for the special work for which they have been marked out by me.3 Then, after prayer and going without food they put their hands on them, and sent them away.4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they went by ship to Cyprus.5 And at Salamis they were preaching the word of God in the Synagogues of the Jews: and John was with them, helping them.6 And when they had gone through all the island to Paphos, they came across a certain wonder-worker and false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus;7 Who was with the ruler, Sergius Paulus, an able man. This man sent for Barnabas and Saul, desiring to have knowledge of the word of God.8 But Elymas, the wonder-worker (for that is the sense of his name), put himself against them, with the purpose of turning the ruler from the faith.9 But Saul, whose other name is Paul, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking hard at him, said,10 O you, who are full of false tricks and evil ways, a son of the Evil One, hating all righteousness, will you for ever be turning people from the right ways of the Lord?11 And now, see, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind and not able to see the sun for a time. And straight away a dark mist came down on him; and he went about looking for a guide.12 Then the ruler, when he saw what was done, had faith, being full of wonder at the teaching of the Lord.13 Then Paul and those who were with him went by ship from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and there John went away from them and came back to Jerusalem.14 But they, going through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia; and they went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath and were seated.15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the Synagogue sent to them, saying, Brothers, if you have a word of comfort for the people, say on.16 And Paul, getting up and making a sign with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you who have the fear of God, give ear.17 The God of this people Israel made selection of our fathers, lifting the people up from their low condition when they were living in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm took them out of it.18 And for about forty years he put up with their ways in the waste land.19 And having put to destruction seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the land for their heritage for about four hundred and fifty years.20 And after these things he gave them judges, till the time of Samuel the prophet.21 Then at their request for a king, God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the family of Benjamin, who was their king for forty years.22 And having put him on one side, he made David their king, to whom he gave witness, saying, I have taken David, the son of Jesse, a man dear to my heart, who will do all my pleasure.23 From this man's seed has God given to Israel a Saviour, even Jesus, as he gave his word;24 For whose coming John made ready the way by preaching to all the people of Israel the baptism which goes with a change of heart.25 And when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.26 My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you who have the fear of God, to us the word of this salvation is sent.27 For the men of Jerusalem and their rulers, having no knowledge of him, or of the sayings of the prophets which come to their ears every Sabbath day, gave effect to them by judging him.28 And though no cause of death was seen in him, they made a request to Pilate that he might be put to death.29 And when they had done all the things said in the Writings about him, they took him down from the tree, and put him in the place of the dead.30 But God gave him back from the dead:31 And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before the people.32 And we are giving you the good news of the undertaking made to the fathers,33 Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being.34 And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of David.35 Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction.36 Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction:37 But he, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction.38 And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you:39 And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.40 So take care that these words of the prophets do not come true for you;41 See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear to you.42 And when they went out, they made a request that these words might be said to them again on the Sabbath after.43 Now when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on in the grace of God.44 And on the Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to the word of God.45 But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching.46 Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles.47 For so the Lord has given us orders, saying, I have given you for a light to the Gentiles so that you may be for salvation to the ends of the earth.48 And the Gentiles, hearing this, were glad and gave glory to the word of God: and those marked out by God for eternal life had faith.49 And the word of the Lord went through all the country.50 But the Jews, working up the feelings of the God-fearing women of high position and of the chief men of the town, got an attack started against Paul and Barnabas, driving them out of those parts.51 But they, shaking off the dust of that place from their feet, came to Iconium.52 And the disciples were full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.

1 Erant autem in ecclesia qu erat Antiochi, prophet et doctores, in quibus Barnabas, et Simon qui vocabatur Niger, et Lucius Cyrenensis, et Manahen, qui erat Herodis Tetrarch collactaneus, et Saulus. 2 Ministrantibus autem illis Domino, et jejunantibus, dixit illis Spiritus Sanctus : Segregate mihi Saulum et Barnabam in opus ad quod assumpsi eos. 3 Tunc jejunantes et orantes, imponentesque eis manus, dimiserunt illos.4 Et ipsi quidem missi a Spiritu Sancto abierunt Seleuciam : et inde navigaverunt Cyprum. 5 Et cum venissent Salaminam, prdicabant verbum Dei in synagogis Judorum. Habebant autem et Joannem in ministerio. 6 Et cum perambulassent universam insulam usque Paphum, invenerunt quemdam virum magum pseudoprophetam, Judum, cui nomen erat Barjesu, 7 qui erat cum proconsule Sergio Paulo viro prudente. Hic, accersitis Barnaba et Saulo, desiderabat audire verbum Dei. 8 Resistebat autem illis Elymas magus (sic enim interpretatur nomen ejus), qurens avertere proconsulem a fide. 9 Saulus autem, qui et Paulus, repletus Spiritu Sancto, intuens in eum, 10 dixit : O plene omni dolo et omni fallacia, fili diaboli, inimice omnis justiti, non desinis subvertere vias Domini rectas. 11 Et nunc ecce manus Domini super te, et eris ccus, non videns solem usque ad tempus. Et confestim cecidit in eum caligo et tenebr : et circuiens qurebat qui ei manum daret. 12 Tunc proconsul cum vidisset factum, credidit admirans super doctrina Domini.13 Et cum a Papho navigassent Paulus et qui cum eo erant, venerunt Pergen Pamphyli. Joannes autem discedens ab eis, reversus est Jerosolymam. 14 Illi vero pertranseuntes Pergen, venerunt Antiochiam Pisidi : et ingressi synagogam die sabbatorum, sederunt. 15 Post lectionem autem legis et prophetarum, miserunt principes synagog ad eos, dicentes : Viri fratres, si quis est in vobis sermo exhortationis ad plebem, dicite.16 Surgens autem Paulus, et manu silentium indicens, ait : Viri Isralit, et qui timetis Deum, audite : 17 Deus plebis Isral elegit patres nostros, et plebem exaltavit cum essent incol in terra gypti, et in brachio excelso eduxit eos ex ea, 18 et per quadraginta annorum tempus mores eorum sustinuit in deserto. 19 Et destruens gentes septem in terra Chanaan, sorte distribuit eis terram eorum, 20 quasi post quadringentos et quinquaginta annos : et post hc dedit judices, usque ad Samuel prophetam. 21 Et exinde postulaverunt regem : et dedit illis Deus Saul filium Cis, virum de tribu Benjamin, annis quadraginta : 22 et amoto illo, suscitavit illis David regem : cui testimonium perhibens, dixit : Inveni David filium Jesse, virum secundum cor meum, qui faciet omnes voluntates meas. 23 Hujus Deus ex semine secundum promissionem eduxit Isral salvatorem Jesum, 24 prdicante Joanne ante faciem adventus ejus baptismum pnitenti omni populo Isral. 25 Cum impleret autem Joannes cursum suum, dicebat : Quem me arbitramini esse, non sum ego : sed ecce venit post me, cujus non sum dignus calceamenta pedum solvere. 26 Viri fratres, filii generis Abraham, et qui in vobis timent Deum, vobis verbum salutis hujus missum est. 27 Qui enim habitabant Jerusalem, et principes ejus hunc ignorantes, et voces prophetarum qu per omne sabbatum leguntur, judicantes impleverunt, 28 et nullam causam mortis invenientes in eo, petierunt a Pilato ut interficerent eum. 29 Cumque consummassent omnia qu de eo scripta erant, deponentes eum de ligno, posuerunt eum in monumento. 30 Deus vero suscitavit eum a mortuis tertia die : qui visus est per dies multos his 31 qui simul ascenderant cum eo de Galila in Jerusalem : qui usque nunc sunt testes ejus ad plebem. 32 Et nos vobis annuntiamus eam, qu ad patres nostros repromissio facta est : 33 quoniam hanc Deus adimplevit filiis nostris resuscitans Jesum, sicut et in psalmo secundo scriptum est : Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te. 34 Quod autem suscitavit eum a mortuis, amplius jam non reversurum in corruptionem, ita dixit : Quia dabo vobis sancta David fidelia. 35 Ideoque et alias dicit : Non dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. 36 David enim in sua generatione cum administrasset, voluntati Dei dormivit : et appositus est ad patres suos, et vidit corruptionem. 37 Quem vero Deus suscitavit a mortuis, non vidit corruptionem. 38 Notum igitur sit vobis, viri fratres, quia per hunc vobis remissio peccatorum annuntiatur, et ab omnibus quibus non potuistis in lege Moysi justificari, 39 in hoc omnis qui credit, justificatur. 40 Videte ergo ne superveniat vobis quod dictum est in prophetis : 41 [Videte contemptores, et admiramini, et disperdimini :quia opus operor ego in diebus vestris,opus quod non credetis, si quis enarraverit vobis.] 42 Exeuntibus autem illis rogabant ut sequenti sabbato loquerentur sibi verba hc. 43 Cumque dimissa esset synagoga, secuti sunt multi Judorum, et colentium advenarum, Paulum et Barnabam : qui loquentes suadebant eis ut permanerent in gratia Dei.44 Sequenti vero sabbato pene universa civitas convenit audire verbum Dei. 45 Videntes autem turbas Judi, repleti sunt zelo, et contradicebant his qu a Paulo dicebantur, blasphemantes. 46 Tunc constanter Paulus et Barnabas dixerunt : Vobis oportebat primum loqui verbum Dei : sed quoniam repellitis illud, et indignos vos judicatis tern vit, ecce convertimur ad gentes. 47 Sic enim prcepit nobis Dominus : Posui te in lucem gentium, ut sis in salutem usque ad extremum terr. 48 Audientes autem gentes, gavis sunt, et glorificabant verbum Domini : et crediderunt quotquot erant prordinati ad vitam ternam. 49 Disseminabatur autem verbum Domini per universam regionem. 50 Judi autem concitaverunt mulieres religiosas et honestas, et primos civitatis, et excitaverunt persecutionem in Paulum et Barnabam : et ejecerunt eos de finibus suis. 51 At illi excusso pulvere pedum in eos, venerunt Iconium. 52 Discipuli quoque replebantur gaudio, et Spiritu Sancto.
