Context of Acts 13:40
38Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses. Therefore, see that the thing spoken of in the Prophets does not come upon you: 41‘Look, you scoffers, and be astonished, and perish; For I am accomplishing a work in your days, A work which you will never believe, though someone should describe it to you.’” 42As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people repeatedly begged to have these things spoken to them the next Sabbath.
