Acts 13:40-51

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.
