Acts 13:43-49

⁴³and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes did follow Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.

⁴⁴And on the coming sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God,

⁴⁵and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul — contradicting and speaking evil.

⁴⁶And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, 'To you it was necessary that first the word of God be spoken, and seeing ye do thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the life age-during, lo, we do turn to the nations;

⁴⁷for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations — for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.'

⁴⁸And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the Lord, and did believe — as many as were appointed to life age-during;

⁴⁹and the word of the Lord was spread abroad through all the region.
