Deeds (Act) of Apostles 13:6-44

⁶And when they had walked by all the isle to Paphos, they found a man, a witch, or they found some man witch, a false prophet, a Jew, to whom the name was Barjesus,

⁷that was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. This called Barnabas and Paul, and desired to hear the word of God.

⁸But Elymas the witch withstood them; for his name is expounded so; and he sought to turn away the proconsul from belief.

⁹But Saul, which is said also Paul, was filled with the Holy Ghost, and beheld into him,

¹⁰and said, A! thou full of all guile, and all falseness, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all rightwise-ness, thou leavest not to turn upside-down, or to subvert, or to destroy, the rightful ways of the Lord.

¹¹And now lo! the hand of the Lord is on thee, and thou shalt be blind, and not seeing the sun into a time. And anon, a mist and darkness felled down on him; and he went about, and sought him that should give the hand to him.

¹²Then the proconsul, when he had seen the deed, believed, wondering on the teaching of the Lord.

¹³And when from Paphos Paul had gone by boat, and they that were with him, they came to Perga of Pamphylia; but John departed from them, and turned again to Jerusalem.

¹⁴And they went from Perga, and came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they entered into the synagogue in the day of sabbaths, and sat.

¹⁵And after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the princes of the synagogue sent to them, and said, Brethren, if any word of exhortation to the people is in you, say ye.

¹⁶And Paul rose, and with hand bade silence, and said, Men of Israel, and ye that dread God, hear ye.

¹⁷God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and enhanced the people, when they were comelings in the land of Egypt, and in an high arm he led them out of it;

¹⁸and by the time of forty years he suffered their manners in desert.

¹⁹And he destroyed seven folks in the land of Canaan, and by sort parted to them their land,

²⁰as after four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave doomsmen, till to Samuel, the prophet.

²¹And from that time they asked a king, and God gave to them Saul, the son of Cis, a man of the lineage of Benjamin, by forty years.

²²And when he was done away, he raised to them David the king, to whom he bare witnessing, and said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after mine heart, which shall do all my will.

²³Of whose seed by the promise God hath led out to Israel a Saviour Jesus,

²⁴when John preached before the face of his coming the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵But when John ful filled his course, he said, I am not he, whom ye deem me to be; but lo! he cometh after me, and I am not worthy to do off or to unbind the shoes of his feet.

²⁶Brethren, and sons of the kind of Abraham, and which that in you dread God, to you the word of health is sent.

²⁷For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and princes of it, that knew not this Jesus, and the voices of prophets, that by every sabbath be read, deemed, and fulfilled;

²⁸and they found in him no cause of death, and asked of Pilate, that they should slay him.

²⁹And when they had ended all things that were written of him, they took him down off the tree, and laid him in a grave.

³⁰And God raised him from death in the third day;

³¹which was seen by many days to them that went up together with him from Galilee into Jerusalem, which be till now his witnesses to the people.

³²And we show to you the promise that was made to our fathers;

³³for God hath fulfilled this to their sons, and again-raised Jesus; as in the second psalm it is written, Thou art my Son, today I begat thee.

³⁴And he that again-raised him from death, that he should not turn again into corruption, said thus, For I shall give to you the holy true things of David.

³⁵Therefore and in another stead he saith, Thou shalt not give thine Holy to see corruption.

³⁶But David in his generation, when he had ministered to the will of God, died or slept, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption;

³⁷but he whom God raised from death, saw not corruption.

³⁸Therefore, brethren, be it known to you, that by him remission of sins is told to you,

³⁹from all sins, of which ye might not be justified in the law of Moses. In this each man that believeth, is justified.

⁴⁰Therefore see ye, that it come not to you, that is before-said in the prophets,

⁴¹Ye despisers, see ye, and wonder ye, and be ye scattered abroad; for I work a work in your days, a work that ye shall not believe, if any man shall tell it out to you.

⁴²And when they went out, they prayed, that in the sabbath pursuing, they should speak to them these words.

⁴³And when the synagogue was let go, many of the Jews and comelings worshipping God pursued Paul and Barnabas; that spake, and counselled them, that they should dwell in the grace of God.

⁴⁴And in the sabbath pursuing, almost all the city came together, to hear the word of God.
