1 Now there were prophets and teachers at Antioch, in the church that was there: Barnabas, Simeonwho was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaenwho had been brought up with Herodthe tetrarch, and Saul. 2 While they were 13:2 Lit performing ministry toserving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set Barnabasand Saulapart for Me for the work to which I have called them." 3 Then, when they had fasted, prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleuciaand from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had Johnas their helper. 6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus, 7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabasand Sauland sought to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymasthe magician (for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9 But Saul, who was also known as Paul, 13:9 Or having just been filledfilled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him, 10 and said, "13:10 Lit O full ofYou who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop making crooked the straight ways of the Lord? 11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time." And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul believed when he saw what had happened, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Now Pauland his companions put out to sea from Paphosand came to Pergain Pamphylia; but Johnleft them and returned to Jerusalem. 14 But going on from Perga, they arrived at PisidianAntioch, and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down. 15 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue officials sent word to them, saying, "13:15 Lit Men, brothersBrothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say it." 16 Paulstood up, and motioning with his hand said,
"Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen: 17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and 13:17 Or exaltedmade the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out from it. 18 For a period of about forty years He put up with them in the wilderness. 19 When He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land as an inheritance—all of which took about 450 years. 20 After these things He gave them judges until Samuelthe prophet. 21 Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saulthe son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 After He had removed him, He raised up Davidto be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My 13:22 Lit wisheswill.’ 23 From the descendants of this man, according to promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, 24 after Johnhad proclaimed, before 13:24 Lit the face of His enteringHis coming, a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And while Johnwas completing his course, he kept saying, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. But behold, One is coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
26 "13:26 Lit Men, brothersBrothers, sons of Abraham’s family, and those among you who fear God, to us the message of this salvation has been sent. 27 For those who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, recognizing neither Him nor the 13:27 Lit voicesdeclarations of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning Him.28 And though they found no grounds for putting Him to death, they asked Pilatethat He be executed. 29 When they had carried out everything that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the 13:29 Lit wood; see Deut 21:23cross and laid Him in a tomb. 30 But God raised Him from the dead; 31 and for many days He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galileeto Jerusalem, the very ones who are now His witnesses to the people. 32 And we preach to you the good news of the promise made to the fathers, 33 that God has fulfilled this promise to those of us who are the descendants by raising Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have fathered You.’ 34 As for the fact that He raised Him from the dead, never again to return to decay, He has spoken in this way: ‘I will give you the holy and faithful mercies of David.’ 35 Therefore, He also says in another Psalm: ‘You will not13:35 Lit giveallow Your13:35 Or Devout; or PiousHoly One to13:35 Lit see corruptionundergo decay.’ 36 For David, after he had 13:36 Or served his own generation by the purpose of Godserved God’s purpose in his own generation, fell asleep, and was 13:36 Lit gathered to hisburied among his fathers and 13:36 Lit saw corruptionunderwent decay; 37 but He whom God raised did not 13:37 Lit see corruptionundergo decay. 38 Therefore let it be known to you, 13:38 Lit men, brothersbrothers, that through 13:38 Lit this OneHim forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and 13:39 Lit in; or bythrough Him everyone who believes is 13:39 Or justifiedfreed from all things, from which you could not be 13:39 Or justifiedfreed 13:39 Lit bythrough the Law of Moses. 40 Therefore, see that the thing spoken of in the Prophets does not come upon you:
41 ‘Look, you scoffers, and be astonished, and13:41 Lit disappearperish;
For I am accomplishing a work in your days,
A work which you will never believe, though someone should describe it to you.’ "
42 As 13:42 Lit theyPauland Barnabaswere going out, the people repeatedly begged to have these 13:42 Lit wordsthings spoken to them the next Sabbath. 43 Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and the God-fearing 13:43 I.e., Gentile converts to Judaismproselytes followed Pauland Barnabas, who were speaking to them and urging them to continue in the grace of God.
Paul Turns to the Gentiles
44 The next Sabbath nearly all the city assembled to hear the word of 13:44 One early ms Godthe Lord. 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and were 13:45 Or slandering himblaspheming. 46 Pauland Barnabasspoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first. Since you repudiate it and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles. 47 For so the Lord has commanded us,
‘I have appointed You as a light13:47 Lit ofto the Gentiles,
That You may13:47 Lit be for salvationbring salvation to the end of the earth.’ "
48 When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of 13:48 Two early mss Godthe Lord; and all who had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was being spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited the 13:50 Or worshipingdevout women of prominence and the leading men of the city, and instigated a persecution against Pauland Barnabas, and drove them out of their 13:50 Lit boundariesregion. 51 But they shook off the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
