Acts 13:43-48

43Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and the 1God-fearing 23proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking to them and urging them to continue in 4the grace of God.

44The next 5Sabbath nearly all the city assembled to hear the word of 6the Lord. 45But when 7the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and were 8blaspheming. 46Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you 9first. Since you repudiate it and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, 10we are turning to the Gentiles. 47For so the Lord has commanded us, ‘11I have appointed You as a 12light 13to the Gentiles, That You may 14bring salvation to the end of the earth.’”

48When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying 15the word of 16the Lord; and all who 17had been appointed to eternal life believed.
