Acts 13:35-52

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

³⁶For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was laid to his fathers, and saw corruption:

³⁷But he whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

³⁸Be it known to you therefore, men, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;

³⁹And by him all that believe are 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 will in no wise believe, though a man declare it to you.

⁴²And when the Jews had gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

⁴³Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

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

⁴⁵But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were uttered by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

⁴⁶Then Paul and Barnabas became bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: but seeing ye reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁷For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying , I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldst be for salvation to the ends of the earth.

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

⁴⁹And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

⁵⁰But the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.

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

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