Acts 13:29-52

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

³⁰But God raised him from the dead:

³¹and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.

³²And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,

³³that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

³⁴And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.

³⁵Because he saith also in another psalm, Thou wilt not give thy Holy One to see corruption.

³⁶For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

³⁷but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.

³⁸Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:

³⁹and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

⁴⁰Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:

⁴¹Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.

⁴²And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.

⁴³Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴⁴And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

⁴⁵But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

⁴⁶And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁷For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.

⁴⁸And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

⁴⁹And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.

⁵⁰But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.

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

⁵²And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
