Acts 13:44-51

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

⁴⁵But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with indignation, and spoke against what was spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.

⁴⁶Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly and plainly, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of the everlasting life, lo! we turn to the gentiles.

⁴⁷For thus hath the Lord commanded us: “I have set thee to be a light of the gentiles, that thou mayst bring salvation even to the end of the earth.”

⁴⁸And when the gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were ordained to everlasting life, believed.

⁴⁹And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout the whole country.

⁵⁰But the Jews stirred up the women of rank who worshipped God, and the chief men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them from their borders.

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