Acts 13:46-52

⁴⁶But Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing you push it away from yourselves and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, see, we will turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁷For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have placed you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.'”

⁴⁸As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and praised the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

⁴⁹The word of the Lord was spread out through the whole region.

⁵⁰But the Jews urged on the devout and important women, as well as the leading men of the city. These stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and threw them out beyond the border of their city.

⁵¹But Paul and Barnabas shook off the dust from their feet against them. Then they went to the city of Iconium.

⁵²And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
