Acts 13:38-49

³⁸And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you:

³⁹And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.

⁴⁰So take care that these words of the prophets do not come true for you;

⁴¹See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear to you.

⁴²And when they went out, they made a request that these words might be said to them again on the Sabbath after.

⁴³Now when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on in the grace of God.

⁴⁴And on the Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to the word of God.

⁴⁵But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching.

⁴⁶Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles.

⁴⁷For so the Lord has given us orders, saying, I have given you for a light to the Gentiles so that you may be for salvation to the ends of the earth.

⁴⁸And the Gentiles, hearing this, were glad and gave glory to the word of God: and those marked out by God for eternal life had faith.

⁴⁹And the word of the Lord went through all the country.
