Acts 13:38-52

³⁸Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.

³⁹And from al things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses, by him euery one that beleeueth, is iustified.

⁴⁰Beware therefore lest that come vpon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets,

⁴¹Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I woorke a woorke in your daies, a woorke which yee shall not beleeue, if a man would declare it you.

⁴²And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day.

⁴³Nowe when the congregation was dissolued, many of the Iewes and Proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴⁴And ye next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde of God.

⁴⁵But when the Iewes saw the people, they were full of enuie, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them.

⁴⁶Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and sayde, It was necessarie that the woorde of God shoulde first haue beene spoken vnto you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthie of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles.

⁴⁷For so hath the Lord commanded vs, saying, I haue made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the saluation vnto the end of the world.

⁴⁸And when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the woorde of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined vnto eternall life, beleeued.

⁴⁹Thus the worde of the Lord was published throughout the whole countrey.

⁵⁰But the Iewes stirred certaine deuoute and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes.

⁵¹But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.

⁵²And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.
