Acts 13:24-52

24when JohnG2491 had first preached before his coming the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 to all the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474. 25And as JohnG2491 wasG1510 fulfilling his courseG1408, he saidG3004, What suppose ye that I amG1510? I amG1510 not he. But beholdG2400, there cometh oneG3739 after me the shoes of whose feetG4228 I amG1510 not worthyG514 to unloose. 26Brethren, children of the stock of AbrahamG11, and those among you that fearG5399 GodG2316, to us is the wordG3056 of this salvationG4991 sent forthG1821. 27For they that dwellG2730 in JerusalemG2419, and their rulersG758, because they knew him not, nor the voicesG5456 of the prophetsG4396 which are readG314 every sabbathG4521, fulfilled them by condemning him. 28And though they foundG2147 no causeG156 of deathG2288 in him, yet askedG154 they of PilateG4091 that he should be slain. 29And whenG5613 they had fulfilled all thingsG3956 that were writtenG1125 of him, they took him downG5087 from the treeG3586, and laidG5087 him in a tombG3419. 30But GodG2316 raisedG1453 him from the deadG3498: 31and he wasG1510 seenG3708 for manyG4183 daysG2250 of them that cameG4872 up with him from GalileeG1056 to JerusalemG2419, who areG1510 nowG3568 his witnessesG3144 unto the peopleG2992. 32And we bringG2097 you good tidings of the promiseG1860 made unto the fathersG3962, 33that GodG2316 hath fulfilled the same unto our childrenG5043, in that he raisedG450 up JesusG2424; as alsoG2532 it isG1510 writtenG1125 in the secondG1208 psalmG5568, Thou art my SonG5207, this dayG4594 have I begotten thee. 34And as concerning that he raisedG450 him up from the deadG3498, nowG1161 no moreG3371 to returnG5290 to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will giveG1325 you the holyG3741 and sure blessings of DavidG1138. 35Because he saith alsoG2532 in another psalm, Thou wilt not giveG1325 thy HolyG3741 OneG3588 to seeG3708 corruption. 36For DavidG1138, after he had in his ownG2398 generationG1074 served the counselG1012 of GodG2316, fell asleepG2837, and was laid unto his fathersG3962, and sawG3708 corruption: 37but he whom GodG2316 raisedG1453 up sawG3708 no corruption. 38BeG1510 it known unto you thereforeG3767, brethren, that through this manG435 isG1510 proclaimedG2605 unto you remission of sinsG266: 39and by him every oneG3739 that believeth is justifiedG1344 from all thingsG3778, from which ye could not be justifiedG1344 by the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. 40BewareG991 thereforeG3767, lestG3361 that comeG1904 upon you which is spoken in the prophetsG4396:

41Behold, ye despisers, and wonderG2296, and perish;For I workG2041 a workG2041 in your daysG2250,A workG2041 which ye shall in no wise believeG4100, if oneG5100 declare it unto you.

42And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spokenG2980 to them the next sabbathG4521. 43NowG1161 when the synagogueG4864 brokeG3089 up, manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 and of the devout proselytes followedG190 PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the graceG5485 of GodG2316.

44And the next sabbathG4521 almostG4975 the whole cityG4172 was gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 to hearG191 the wordG3056 of God. 45But when the JewsG2453 sawG3708 the multitudesG3793, they were filledG4130 with jealousyG2205, and contradicted the things which were spokenG2980 by PaulG3972, and blasphemedG987. 46And PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921 spake out boldlyG3955, and saidG3004, It wasG1510 necessaryG316 that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 should firstG4413 beG1510 spokenG2980 to you. SeeingG3708 ye thrust it from you, and judgeG2919 yourselves unworthy of eternalG166 lifeG2222, lo, we turnG4762 to the GentilesG1484. 47For soG3779 hath the LordG2962 commandedG1781 us, saying,

I have setG5087 thee for a lightG5457 of the GentilesG1484,That thou shouldest beG1510 for salvationG4991 unto the uttermost part of the earthG1093.

48And as the GentilesG1484 heardG191 this, they wereG1510 gladG5463, and glorifiedG1392 the wordG3056 of God: and as manyG3745 as wereG1510 ordained to eternalG166 lifeG2222 believedG4100. 49And the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 was spread abroad throughout all the regionG5561. 50But the JewsG2453 urged on the devout womenG1135 of honorable estate, and the chief men of the cityG4172, and stirred up a persecutionG1375 against PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921, and castG1544 them out of their borders. 51But they shookG1621 off the dustG2868 of their feetG4228 against them, and cameG2064 unto IconiumG2430. 52And the disciplesG3101 were filledG4137 with joyG5479 and with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.
