Acts 13:14-30 in English

¹⁴ But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

¹⁵ And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

¹⁶ And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:

¹⁷ The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.

¹⁸ And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness.

¹⁹ And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:

²⁰ and after these things he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

²¹ And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.

²² And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.

²³ Of this man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

²⁴ when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵ And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not he. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.

²⁶ Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.

²⁷ For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

²⁸ And though they found no cause of death in him, yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead:

¹⁴ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

¹⁵ And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

¹⁶ Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

¹⁷ The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

¹⁸ And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

¹⁹ And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

²⁰ And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

²¹ And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

²² And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

²³ Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

²⁴ When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵ And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

²⁶ Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

²⁷ For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

²⁸ And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead:

²³ Of this man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

²⁴ when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵ And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not he. But behold, there cometh one after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.

²⁶ Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.

²⁷ For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

²⁸ And though they found no cause of death in him, yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead:

¹⁴ Then Paul and Barnabas traveled by land from Perga, and arrived in Antioch city near Pisidia district in Galatia province. ◄On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day► they entered the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place and sat down.

¹⁵ Someone read aloud from what Moses had written. Then someone read from what the other prophets had written MTY. Then the leaders of the Jewish meeting place gave someone this note to take to Paul and Barnabas: “Fellow Jews, if one of you wants to speak to the people here to encourage them, please speak to us(exc) now.”

¹⁶ So Paul stood up and motioned with his right hand so that the people would listen to him. Then he said, “Fellow Israelis and you non-Jewish people who also worship God, please listen to me!

¹⁷ God, whom we (inc) Israelis worship, chose our ancestors to be his people, and he caused them to become very numerous while they were foreigners living in Egypt. Then after many years, God helped them MTY powerfully and led them out of there.

¹⁸ Even though they repeatedly disobeyed him, he cared for them for about forty years while they were in the desert.

¹⁹ He enabled the Israelis to conquer seven tribal groups who were then living in Canaan region, and he gave their land to us Israelis for us to possess.

²⁰ Our ancestors began to possess Canaan about 450 years after their ancestors had arrived in Egypt.” Acts 13:20b-22 “After that, God appointed leaders to rule the Israeli people. Those leaders continued to rule our people until the time when the prophet Samuel ruled them.

²¹ Then, while Samuel was still their leader, the people demanded that he appoint a king to rule them. So God appointed Saul, the son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, to be their king. He ruled them for forty years.

²² After God had rejected Saul from being king, he appointed David to be their king. God said about him, ‘I have observed that David, son of Jesse, is exactly the kind of man that I desire IDM. He will do everything that I want him to do.’ ”

²³ “From among David's descendants, God brought one of them, Jesus, to us Israeli people to save us, just like he had told David and our other ancestors that he would do.

²⁴ Before Jesus began his work, John the Baptizer preached to all of our Israeli people who came to him. He told them that they should turn away from their sinful behavior and ask God to forgive them. Then he would baptize them.

²⁵ When John was about to finish the work that God gave him to do, he frequently said to the people, ‘Do you think RHQ that I am the Messiah whom God promised to send? No, I am not. But listen! The Messiah will soon come. He is so much greater than I am that I am not even important enough to be his slave MET.’”

²⁶ “Fellow Israelis, you who are descendants of Abraham, and you non-Jewish people who also worship God, please listen! It is to all of us that God has sent the message about how he saves people.

²⁷ The people who were living in Jerusalem and their rulers did not realize that this man Jesus was the one whom God had sent to save them. Although messages from MTY the prophets have been read aloud {someone has read aloud messages from MTY the prophets} every ◄Sabbath/Jewish day of rest►, they did not understand what the prophets wrote about the Messiah. So the Jewish leaders condemned Jesus to die, which was just like the prophets predicted.

²⁸ Many people accused Jesus of doing wicked things, but they could not prove that he had done anything for which he deserved to die. They insistently asked Pilate the governor to command that Jesus be executed {to command soldiers to execute Jesus}. So Pilate did what they asked him to do.

²⁹ They did to Jesus all the things that the prophets long ago had written that people would do to him. They killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross. Then his body was taken { some people took his body} down from the cross and placed it in a tomb.

³⁰ However, God ◄raised him from the dead/caused him to live again after he had died►

¹⁴ But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.

¹⁵ After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”

¹⁶ Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

¹⁷ The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of 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 gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.

²⁰ After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

²¹ Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

²² When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’

²³ From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,

²⁴ before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.

²⁵ As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

²⁶ “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.

²⁷ For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

²⁸ Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

²³ From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,

²⁴ before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.

²⁵ As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead,

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:

¹⁴ But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day they sat down.

¹⁵ And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation to the people, speak.

¹⁶ And Paul, rising up and making a sign with the hand, said, Israelites, and ye that fear God, hearken.

¹⁷ The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought them out of it,

¹⁸ and for a time of about forty years he nursed them in the desert.

¹⁹ And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.

²⁰ And after these things he gave them judges till Samuel the prophet, to the end of about four hundred and fifty years.

²¹ And then they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.

²² And having removed him he raised up to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.

²³ Of this man's seed according to promise has God brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

²⁴ John having proclaimed before the face of his entry among the people the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵ And as John was fulfilling his course he said, Whom do ye suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, there comes one after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

²⁶ Brethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those who among you fear God, to you has the word of this salvation been sent:

²⁷ for those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, have fulfilled also the voices of the prophets which are read on every sabbath, by judging him.

²⁸ And having found no cause of death in him, they begged of Pilate that he might be slain.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all things written concerning him, they took him down from the cross and put him in a sepulchre;

³⁰ but God raised him from among the dead,

¹⁴ But they passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down.

¹⁵ And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak.

¹⁶ Then Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.

¹⁷ The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out from thence,

¹⁸ And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert.

¹⁹ And destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, divided their land among them, by lot,

²⁰ As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet.

²¹ And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.

²² And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.

²³ Of this man’s seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

²⁴ John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵ And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

²⁶ Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent.

²⁷ For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.

²⁸ And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.

³⁰ But God raised him up from the dead the third day:

¹⁴ But they went from Perga, and arrived in Antioch of Pisidia, and entering into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.

¹⁵ Now after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent to them, saying, “Men and brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”

¹⁶ And Paul, arising and motioning with his hand, said, “Men, Israelites, and you who fear God, listen:

¹⁷ The God of this people chose our fathers, and lifting up the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm brought them out from it.

¹⁸ Now for a time of about forty years He put up with them in the wilderness.

¹⁹ And destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave their land to them as an inheritance.

²⁰ “And after these things, for about four hundred and fifty years, He gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.

²¹ And then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

²² And removing him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom He also said bearing witness, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, to be a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’

²³ God, from the seed of this man, according to the promise, has brought to Israel salvation,

²⁴ after John had first proclaimed before His coming, the baptism of repentance to Israel.

²⁵ Now as John was finishing his course, he said, ‘Whom do you suppose me to be? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loosen.’

²⁶ “Men, brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the message of this salvation has been sent.

²⁷ For those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor the voices of the Prophets which are read according to each Sabbath, condemning him, they fulfilled the Scriptures.

²⁸ And finding no cause for death, they asked Pilate that He be executed.

²⁹ And when they finished all the things having been written about Him, taking Him down from the tree, they put Him in a tomb.

³⁰ But God raised Him from the dead;

¹⁴ Going on from Perga they arrived in Antioch of Pisidia; and entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.

¹⁵ After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, do speak.”

¹⁶ So standing up and motioning with his hand, Paul said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen.

¹⁷ The God of this people chose our fathers, and prospered the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and brought them out of it with an uplifted arm.

¹⁸ For a period of about forty years He put up with them in the wilderness.

¹⁹ And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave them possession of their land.

²⁰ After these things, He gave judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

²¹ And then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, a son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

²² And removing him He raised up for them David as king, about whom He gave witness and said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’

²³ God, from this man's seed, according to promise, has brought Salvation to Israel,

²⁴ John having heralded beforehand, in advance of His coming, a baptism of repentance to Israel.

²⁵ Well, as John was fulfilling his course, he said: ‘Whom do you suppose me to be? No I am not—but indeed He comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

²⁶ “Men, brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God: to you the word of this salvation has been sent.

²⁷ The Jerusalem dwellers and their rulers, understanding neither Him nor the voices of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning Him.

²⁸ Though they found no cause for death, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.

²⁹ When they had fulfilled all things that were written about Him, they took Him down from the cross and placed Him in a tomb.

³⁰ But God raised Him from the dead;

¹⁴ They went through Perga and on to Antioch of Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and were seated.

¹⁵ After the readings from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent them a message saying, “Brothers, please share with the congregation any words of encouragement you may have.”

¹⁶ Paul stood up, motioned with his hand to get their attention, and began speaking. “Men of Israel, and all of you who have reverence for God, listen to me.

¹⁷ The God of the people of Israel chose our forefathers, and gave our people prosperity during their stay in the land of Egypt. Then with his mighty power he led them out of Egypt,

¹⁸ and he patiently dealt with them in the desert for about forty years.

¹⁹ After he had overthrown seven nations living in the land of Canaan, God divided their land among the Israelites and gave it to them to inherit. This took about four hundred and fifty years.

²⁰ Then he provided them with judges as leaders until the time of the prophet Samuel.

²¹ Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled for forty years.

²² Then God removed Saul, and made David their king. God approved of David, saying ‘I found David the son of Jesse to be a man according to my own heart; he will do everything I intend.’

²³ Jesus is David's descendant; he is the Savior that God promised to bring to Israel.

²⁴ Before Jesus came, John announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵ As John was completing his mission, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not the one you're looking for. But after me one is coming whose sandals I'm not worthy to untie.’

²⁶ My brothers, children of Abraham and those of you who have reverence for God: the message of this salvation has been sent to us!

²⁷ The people living in Jerusalem and their leaders didn't recognize Jesus or understand the words spoken by the prophets that are read every Sabbath. In fact they fulfilled the prophetic words by condemning him!

²⁸ Even though they couldn't find any evidence to sentence him to death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

²⁹ After they had fulfilled everything predicted that they would do to him, they took him down from the cross and buried him in a tomb.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead,

¹⁴ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a citie of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on ye Sabbath day, and sate downe.

¹⁵ And after the lecture of the Law and Prophets, the rulers of ye Synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

¹⁶ Then Paul stoode vp and beckened with the hand, and sayde, Men of Israel, and yee that feare God, hearken.

¹⁷ The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arme brought them out thereof.

¹⁸ And about the time of fourtie yeeres, suffered he their maners in the wildernesse.

¹⁹ And he destroied seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, and deuided their lad to them by lot.

²⁰ Then afterward he gaue vnto them Iudges about foure hundreth and fiftie yeeres, vnto the time of Samuel the Prophet.

²¹ So after that, they desired a King, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of ye tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres.

²² And after he had taken him away, he raised vp Dauid to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which will doe all things that I will.

²³ Of this mans seede hath God according to his promise raised vp to Israel, ye Sauiour Iesus:

²⁴ When Iohn had first preached before his coming the baptisme of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵ And when Iohn had fulfilled his course, he saide, Whom ye thinke that I am, I am not he: but beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shooe of his feete I am not worthy to loose.

²⁶ Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the woorde of this saluation sent.

²⁷ For the inhabitants of Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe him not, nor yet the woordes of the Prophets, which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.

²⁸ And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and put him in a sepulchre.

³⁰ But God raised him vp from the dead.

¹⁴ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

¹⁵ And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

¹⁶ Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

¹⁷ The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought he them out of it.

¹⁸ And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

¹⁹ And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

²⁰ And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

²¹ And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

²² And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

²³ Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

²⁴ when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵ And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

²⁶ Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

²⁷ For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

²⁸ And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead:

¹⁴ And they, going on from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and sat down.

¹⁵ And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.

¹⁶ Then Paul stood up, and beckoned with his hand and said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken.

¹⁷ The God of this people chose our fathers, and he exalted the people in their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm he brought them out of it;

¹⁸ and for about forty years he nourished them in the wilderness.

¹⁹ And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as a possession.

²⁰ And after that, for about four hundred and fifty years, he gave judges, until Samuel the prophet.

²¹ And afterward they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

²² and having removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king, to whom he gave testimony, saying, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.”

²³ From the seed of this man hath God, according to his promise, brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

²⁴ before whose coming forward John had first preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵ And as John was finishing his course, he said, Who do ye think that I am? I am not He. But lo I there cometh after me one, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

²⁶ Brethren, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you was the word of this salvation sent forth.

²⁷ For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them in condemning him.

²⁸ And though they found nothing deserving death in him, they asked of Pilate that he should be slain.

²⁹ And when they had accomplished all that was written of him, they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead,

¹⁴ The others went on from Perga and arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath and took their seats.

¹⁵ After the reading of the Law and the prophets, the synagogue leader sent them this message — “Friends, if you have any helpful words to address to the people, now is the time to speak.”

¹⁶ So Paul rose and, motioning with his hand, said: “People of Israel and all here who worship God, hear what I have to say.

¹⁷ The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, and during their stay in Egypt increased the prosperity of the people, and then with uplifted arm brought them out from that land.

¹⁸ For about forty years he bore with them in the desert;

¹⁹ then, after destroying seven heathen nations in Canaan, he allotted their land to this people —

²⁰ For about four hundred and fifty years. In later times he gave them Judges, of whom the prophet Samuel was the last.

²¹ And, when they demanded a king, God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, who reigned for forty years.

²² After removing him, he raised David to the throne, and bore this testimony to him — ‘In David, the son of Jesse, I have found a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my purposes.’

²³ It was from this man's descendants that God, in accordance with his promise, gave Israel a Saviour — Jesus;

²⁴ John having first proclaimed, before the appearance of Jesus, a baptism on repentance for all the people of Israel.

²⁵ As John was drawing towards the end of his career, he said ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not the Christ. But there is “one coming” after me, whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.’

²⁶ Brothers and sisters, descendants of Abraham, and all those amongst you who worship God, it was to us that the message of this salvation was sent.

²⁷ The people of Jerusalem and their leaders, failing to recognise Jesus, and not understanding the utterances of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

²⁸ They found no ground at all for putting him to death, and yet demanded his execution from Pilate;

²⁹ and, after carrying out everything written about him, they took Jesus down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead;

¹⁴ The others went on from Perga and arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath and took their seats.

²⁸ They found no ground at all for putting him to death, and yet demanded his execution from Pilate;

²⁹ and, after carrying out everything written about him, they took Jesus down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead;

¹⁴ And Paul and Barnabas went on from Perga to another town called Antioch, in the country called Pisidia. Then on Saturday, the day the Jews get together to show respect to God, Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish meeting house and sat down with the men there.

¹⁵ Some of the leaders in that meeting read from God’s book. They read words from the Law that Moses wrote, and they read other words that God’s men wrote. Then the leaders asked Paul and Barnabas, “Friends, do you have something to say that will help the people here? If you do, tell us.”

¹⁶ So Paul stood up and lifted up his hand to get the people to listen to him. He said, “All you Jewish men and all you other people that respect God, listen to me.

¹⁷ A long time ago the God of us Jewish people picked our grand-fathers of long ago to be his own people. They went to the country called Egypt to live, and while they were there, God made them strong, and they had a lot of kids. So they became a really big mob of people. Then God used his great power and took them out of that country.

¹⁸ Then they were in the desert country for 40 years. Sometimes they didn’t listen to God, but he looked after them anyway.

¹⁹ Then they came to the country called Canaan, and God helped them fight against 7 different tribes, and they won. They killed all their enemies, and God gave that country to his own people to keep.

²⁰ All of that took about 450 years. Then God picked leaders to look after them, until the time that Samuel was their leader. He was a man that told God’s messages to the people.

²¹ Samuel was their leader, but the people asked him to get a man to be their big boss, and God gave them a man called Saul. He was the son of a man called Kish. Saul belonged to the Benjamin tribe, and he was their big boss for 40 years.

²² Then God stopped Saul from being their big boss, and God picked David, and made him the big boss of the Israel people. And God said this, ‘Look at this man, David, the son of Jesse. He is a man that makes me happy. He will do everything that I want him to do.’

²³ And God promised that a man from David’s family will come to save us Israel people. And now that man has come. His name is Jesus.

²⁴ But before Jesus came, a man called John came and talked to us Israel people. He said, ‘Stop doing bad things. Turn around. Turn back to God, and then I will baptise you.’

²⁵ And John said, ‘Who do you reckon I am? Do you think I’m that special man that God promised to send? No way. He will come later. I am nothing. I’m not good enough to touch his feet or untie his shoes.’ That’s what John told everyone when he was finishing his work.

²⁶ Listen, friends. Some of you are Jews that belong to our grand-father Abraham’s family, and some of you are not Jews but you respect our God. All of you listen to this message that God sent to us. It is about the way God wants to save us.

²⁷ A long time ago the men that told God’s words to people wrote those words in his book. They said that God will send a special man, but people will kill him. And people read those words from God’s book in their meetings every Saturday, but they don’t understand them. The people in Jerusalem and their leaders didn’t know that Jesus was that special man, and they said, ‘We have to kill him.’

²⁸ So, even though he didn’t do anything wrong, they asked the judge, Pilate, to kill him anyway.

²⁹ In that way Jesus died, just like those men wrote in God’s book. And after they killed Jesus they took him down from the cross and put him into a grave.

³⁰ But then God made Jesus alive again.

¹⁴ But they wandred thorowe the countres from Perga to Antioche a cite of the countre of Pisidia and wet in to the synagoge on the saboth daye and sate doune.

¹⁵ And after the lawe and the Prophetes were redde the rulers of the synagoge sent vnto them sayinge: Ye men and brethren yf ye have eny sermon to exhorte ye people saye on.

¹⁶ Then Paul stode vp and beckened with the honde and sayde: Men of Israel and ye that feare God geve audiece.

¹⁷ The God of this people chose oure fathers and exalted the people when they dwelt as straugers in the londe of Egypt and with a mighty arme brought them oute of it

¹⁸ and aboute the tyme of .xl. yeares suffred he their maners in the wyldernes.

¹⁹ And he destroyed .vii. nacions in the londe of Canaan and devided their londe to them by lot.

²⁰ And after warde he gave vnto them iudges aboute the space of .iiii.C. and .l. yeres vnto the tyme of Samuel the Prophet.

²¹ And after that they desyred a kinge and God gave vnto them Saul the sonne of Cis a man of the tribe of Beniamin by the space of .xl. yeres.

²² And after he had put him doune he set vp David to be their kynge of whome he reported sayinge: I have founde David the sonne of Iesse a man after myne awne hert he shall fulfill all my will.

²³ Of this manes seed hath God (accordinge to his promes) brought forth to the people of Israel a saviour one Iesus

²⁴ when Iohn had fyrst preached before his cominge the baptyme of repentaunce to Israel.

²⁵ And when Iohn had fulfylled his course he sayde: whome ye thinke that I am the same am I not. But beholde ther cometh one after me whose shewes of his fete I am not worthy to lowse.

²⁶ Ye men and brethren chyldren of the generacion of Abraham and whosoever amonge you feareth God to you is this worde of salvacion sent.

²⁷ The inhabiters of Ierusalem and their rulers because they knewe him not nor yet the voyces of the Prophetes which are redde every Saboth daye they have fulfilled them in condempninge him.

²⁸ And when they founde no cause of deeth in him yet desyred they Pylate to kyll him.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that were written of him they toke him doune from the tree and put him in a sepulcre.

³⁰ But God raysed him agayne from deeth

¹⁴ Paul and his friends traveled from Perga and came to Antioch of Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.

¹⁵ After the reading of the law and the prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent them a message saying, “Brothers, if you have any message of encouragement for the people here, say it.”

¹⁶ So Paul stood up and motioned with his hand; he said, “Men of Israel and you who honor God, listen.

¹⁷ The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people numerous when they stayed in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he led them out of it.

¹⁸ For about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

¹⁹ After he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave our people their land for an inheritance.

²⁰ All these events took place over four hundred and fifty years. After all these things, God gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

²¹ Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, to be king for forty years.

²² After God removed him from the kingship, he raised up David to be their king. It was about David that God said, 'I have found David son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, who does all I want him to do.'

²³ From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus, as he promised to do.

²⁴ This began to happen when, before Jesus came, John first announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵ As John was finishing his work, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But listen, one is coming after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'

²⁶ Brothers, children of the line of Abraham, and those among you who worship God, it is to us that the message about this salvation has been sent.

²⁷ For they who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, did not recognize him, and they fulfilled sayings of the prophets that are read every Sabbath by condemning him.

²⁸ Even though they found no good cause for death in him, they asked Pilate to kill him.

²⁹ When they had completed all the things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead.
