Acts 13:40-51

40ThereforeG3767 takeG991 heedG991, soG3361 that the thingG3004 spokenG3004 of 1in the ProphetsG4396 may not comeG1904 upon you:41‘2BeholdG3708, you scoffersG2707, and marvelG2296, and 3perishG853; For I am accomplishingG2038 a workG2041 in your daysG2250, A workG2041 whichG3739 you will neverG3756G3361 believeG4100, thoughG1437 someoneG5100 should describeG1555 it to you.’”

42As 4Paul and Barnabas were goingG1826 out, the people kept beggingG3870 that theseG3778 5thingsG4487 might be spokenG2980 to them the nextG3342 6SabbathG4521. 43NowG1161 when the meeting of the synagogueG4864 had brokenG3089 up, manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 and of the 7God-fearingG4576 89proselytesG4339 followedG190 PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921, whoG3748, speakingG4354 to them, were urgingG3982 them to continueG4357 in 10the graceG5485 of GodG2316.

44The nextG2064 11SabbathG4521 nearlyG4975 the wholeG3956 cityG4172 assembledG4863 to hearG191 the wordG3056 of 12the LordG2316. 45But when 13the JewsG2453 sawG3708 the crowdsG3793, they were filledG4092 with jealousyG2205 and began contradictingG483 the thingsG2980 spokenG2980 by PaulG3972, and were 14blasphemingG987. 46PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921 spokeG3955 out boldlyG3955 and saidG3004, “It was necessaryG316 that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 be spokenG2980 to you 15firstG4413; sinceG1894 you repudiateG683 it and judgeG2919 yourselvesG1438 unworthyG3756G514 of eternalG166 lifeG2222, beholdG2400, 16we are turningG4762 to the GentilesG1484. 47For soG3779 the LordG2962 has commandedG1781 us, ‘17I have placedG5087 You as a 18lightG5457 for the GentilesG1484, That You may 19bringG1510G1519 salvationG4991 to the endG2078 of the earthG1093.’”

48When the GentilesG1484 heardG191 this, they began rejoicingG5463 and glorifyingG1392 20the wordG3056 of 21the LordG2962; and as manyG3745 as 22had beenG1510 appointedG5021 to eternalG166 lifeG2222 believedG4100. 49And 23the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 was being spreadG1308 throughG1223 the wholeG3650 regionG5561. 50But 24the JewsG2453 incitedG3951 the 2526devoutG4576 womenG1135 27of prominenceG2158 and the leadingG4413 menG4413 of the cityG4172, and instigatedG1892 a persecutionG1375 againstG1909 PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921, and droveG1544 them out of their 28districtG3725. 51But 29they shookG1621 offG1621 the dustG2868 of their feetG4228 in protest againstG1909 them and wentG2064 to 30IconiumG2430.
