Context of Acts 13:42
40See therefore that that which is spoken in the prophets do not come upon [you], 41Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe if one declare it to you. And as they went out they begged that these words might be spoken to them the ensuing sabbath. 43And the congregation of the synagogue having broken up, many of the Jews and of the worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. 44And on the coming sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
