Acts 13:37-44

³⁷but the One whom God raised up did not see decay.

³⁸Therefore, let it be known to you, men, brothers, that through this One forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you;

³⁹and by Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the Law of Moses.

⁴⁰So take care, lest there come upon you that which has been spoken in the prophets:

⁴¹‘Look you despisers, marvel and perish! For I am working a work in your days to which you will not give credence, even if someone were to explain it in detail to you.’ ”

⁴²Now as the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles implored repeatedly that these words might be spoken to them the next Sabbath.

⁴³The synagogue service having been dismissed, many of the Jews and the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who started addressing them, urging them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴⁴Well the next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered to hear the Word of God.
