Acts 13:7-22

7an attendantG1510G4862 of theG3588 proconsulG446, SergiusG4588 PaulusG3972. The proconsul, a manG435 of intelligenceG4908, summonedG4341 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 because he wantedG1934 to hearG191 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316. 8ButG1161 ElymasG1681 theG3588 sorcererG3097 (forG1063 that is whatG3779 hisG846 nameG3686 meansG3177) opposedG436 themG846 and triedG2212 to turnG1294 theG3588 proconsulG446 fromG575 theG3588 faithG4102.

9ThenG1161 SaulG4569, whoG3588 was alsoG2532 called PaulG3972, filled withG4130 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, looked directlyG816 atG1519 ElymasG846 10and saidG2036, “OG5599 childG5207 of the devilG1228 and enemyG2190 of allG3956 righteousnessG1343, you are fullG4134 of all kindsG3956 of deceitG1388 andG2532 trickeryG4468! Will you never stopG3756G3973 pervertingG1294 theG3588 straightG2117 waysG3598 of theG3588 LordG2962? 11NowG2532G3568 lookG2400, the handG5495 of the LordG2962 is againstG1909 youG4771, andG2532 forG891 a timeG2540 you will beG1510 blindG5185 and unable to seeG3361G991 theG3588 light of the sunG2246.” ImmediatelyG3916 mistG887 andG2532 darknessG4655 cameG4098 overG1909 himG846, andG2532 he groped aboutG4013, seekingG2212 someone to lead him by the handG5497.

12When theG3588 proconsulG446 sawG3708 whatG3588 had happenedG1096, he believedG4100, for he was astonishedG1605 atG1909 theG3588 teachingG1322 about theG3588 LordG2962.

13After setting sailG321 fromG575 PaphosG3974, PaulG3972 and his companionsG3588G4012 cameG2064 toG1519 PergaG4011 in PamphyliaG3828, where JohnG2491 leftG672G575 themG846 to returnG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2414. 14AndG1161 fromG575 PergaG4011, theyG846 traveled inlandG1330G3854 toG1519 PisidianG4099 AntiochG490, whereG2532 they enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 synagogueG4864 on theG3588 SabbathG4521G2250 and sat downG2523. 15AfterG3326 theG3588 readingG320 from theG3588 LawG3551 andG2532 theG3588 ProphetsG4396, theG3588 synagogue leadersG752 sent wordG649 toG4314 themG846: “BrothersG435G80, ifG1487 you haveG1510G1722G4771 aG5100 wordG3056 of encouragementG3874 forG4314 theG3588 peopleG2992, please speakG3004.”

PaulG3972 stood upG450, motionedG2678 withG3588 his handG5495, and began to speakG2036: “MenG435 of IsraelG2475 andG2532 you Gentiles whoG3588 fearG5399 GodG2316, listenG191 to me! 17TheG3588 GodG2316 ofG3778 theG3588 peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474 choseG1586 ourG1473 fathersG3962. He made them into a greatG5312 peopleG2992 duringG1722 their stayG3940 inG1722 EgyptG125, andG2532 withG3326 an upliftedG5308 armG1023 He ledG1806 themG846 out ofG1537 that land. 18He endured their conductG5159G846 forG5550 aboutG5613 forty yearsG5063 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048. 19AndG2532 having vanquishedG2507 sevenG2033 nationsG1484 inG1722 CanaanG5477, He gave theirG846 landG1093 to His people as an inheritanceG2624. 20All this took about 450G5071G2532G4004 yearsG2094.

AfterG3326 thisG3778, God gaveG1325 them judgesG2923 until the timeG2193 of SamuelG4545 theG3588 prophetG4396. 21ThenG2547 the people asked forG154 a kingG935, andG2532 GodG2316 gaveG1325 themG846 SaulG4549 sonG5207 of KishG2797, fromG1537 the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, who ruled fortyG5062 yearsG2094. 22After removingG3179 Saul, He raised upG1453 DavidG1138 asG1519 theirG846 kingG935 andG2532 testifiedG2036G3140 about him: ‘I have foundG2147 DavidG1138 son of JesseG2421 a manG435 afterG2596 MyG1473 own heartG2588; he will carry outG4160 MyG1473 willG2307 in its entiretyG3956.’1
