1NowG1161 there wereG1510 inG2596 the AssemblyG1577 that wasG1510 atG1722 AntiochG490 certainG5100 prophetsG4396 andG2532 teachersG1320; asG5037 BarnabasG921, andG2532 SimeonG4826 that was calledG2564 NigerG3526, andG2532 LuciusG3066 of CyreneG3588G2956, andG5037 ManaenG3127, which had been brought up withG4939 HerodG2264 the tetrarchG3588G5076, andG2532 SaulG4569. 2AsG1161 theyG846 ministeredG3008 to the LordG3588G2962, andG2532 fastedG3522, the HolyG3588G40 GhostG3588G4151 saidG3004, SeparateG873 meG1473 BarnabasG3588G921 andG2532 SaulG3588G4569 forG1519 the workG3588G2041 whereuntoG3739 I have calledG4341 themG846. 3And whenG5119 they had fastedG3522 andG2532 prayedG4336, andG2532 laidG2007 their handsG3588G5495 on themG846, they sentG630 them awayG630.

4SoG3303 theyG3778, being sent forthG1599 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151, departedG2718 untoG1519 SeleuciaG3588G4581; andG5037 from thenceG1564 they sailedG636 toG1519 CyprusG3588G2954. 5AndG2532 when they wereG1096 atG1722 SalamisG4529, they preachedG2605 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316 inG1722 the synagoguesG3588G4864 of the JewsG2453: andG1161 they hadG2192 alsoG2532 John toG2491 their ministerG5257. 6AndG1161 when they had gone throughG1330 the isleG3588G3520 untoG891 PaphosG3974, they foundG2147 a certainG5100 sorcererG3097, a false prophetG5578, a JewG2453, whoseG3739 nameG3686 was Bar–jesusG919: 7WhichG3739 wasG1510 withG4862 the deputy of the countryG3588G446, SergiusG4588 PaulusG3972, a prudentG4908 manG435; whoG3778 called forG4341 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569, and desiredG1934 to hearG191 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316. 8ButG1161 ElymasG1681 the sorcererG3588G3097 (forG1063 soG3779 isG3177 hisG846 nameG3588G3686 by interpretationG3177) withstoodG436 themG846, seekingG2212 to turn awayG1294 the deputyG3588G446 fromG575 the faithG3588G4102. 9ThenG1161 SaulG4569, (whoG3588 alsoG2532 is called PaulG3972,) filled withG4130 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, set his eyesG816 onG1519 himG846, 10And saidG3004, OG5599 fullG4134 of allG3956 subtiltyG1388 andG2532 allG3956 mischiefG4468, thou childG5207 of the devilG1228, thou enemyG2190 of allG3956 righteousnessG1343, wilt thouG3973 notG3756 ceaseG3973 to pervertG1294 the rightG3588G2117 waysG3588G3598 of the LordG2962? 11AndG2532 nowG3568, beholdG3708, the handG5495 of the LordG3588G2962 is uponG1909 theeG4771, andG2532 thou shalt beG1510 blindG5185, notG3361 seeingG991 the sunG3588G2246 forG891 a seasonG2540. AndG1161 immediatelyG3916 there fellG1968 onG1909 himG846 a mistG887 andG2532 a darknessG4655; andG2532 he went aboutG4013 seekingG2212 some to lead him by the handG5497. 12ThenG5119 the deputyG3588G446, when he sawG3708 what was doneG1096, believedG4100, being astonishedG1605 atG1909 the doctrineG3588G1322 of the LordG3588G2962. 13Now whenG1161 PaulG3588G3972 and his companyG4012 loosedG321 fromG575 PaphosG3588G3974, they cameG2064 toG1519 PergaG4011 in PamphyliaG3588G3828: andG1161 JohnG2491 departingG672 fromG575 themG846 returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2414.

14But whenG1161 theyG846 departedG1330 fromG575 PergaG3588G4011, they cameG3854 toG1519 AntiochG490 in PisidiaG3588G4099, andG2532 wentG1525 intoG1519 the synagogueG3588G4864 on the sabbathG3588G4521 dayG3588G2250, and sat downG2523. 15AndG1161 afterG3326 the readingG3588G320 of the lawG3588G3551 andG2532 the prophetsG3588G4396 the rulers of the synagogueG3588G752 sentG649 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, Ye menG435 and brethrenG80, ifG1487 ye haveG1510 any wordG3056 of exhortationG3874 forG4314 the peopleG3588G2992, say onG3004. 16ThenG1161 PaulG3972 stood upG450, andG2532 beckoning withG2678 his handG3588G5495 saidG3004, MenG435 of IsraelG2475, andG2532 ye that fearG5399 GodG3588G2316, give audienceG191. 17The GodG3588G2316 of thisG3778 peopleG3588G2992 of IsraelG2474 choseG1586 ourG1473 fathersG3588G3962, andG2532 exaltedG5312 the peopleG3588G2992 whenG1722 they dwelt as strangersG3588G3940 inG1722 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, andG2532 withG3326 an highG5308 armG1023 brought heG1806 themG846 outG1537 of itG846. 18AndG2532 aboutG5613 the timeG5550 of forty yearsG5063 suffered heG5159 their mannersG846 inG1722 the wildernessG2048. 19AndG2532 when he had destroyedG2507 sevenG2033 nationsG1484 inG1722 the landG1093 of CanaanG5477, he dividedG2624 theirG846 landG3588G1093 to themG846 by lotG2624. 20AndG2532 afterG3326 thatG3778 he gaveG1325 unto them judgesG2923 about the space ofG5613 four hundredG5071 andG2532 fiftyG4004 yearsG2094, untilG2193 SamuelG4545 the prophetG3588G4396. 21And afterwardG2547 they desiredG154 a kingG935: andG2532 GodG3588G2316 gaveG1325 unto themG846 SaulG4549 the sonG5207 of KishG2797, a manG435 ofG1537 the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, by the space of fortyG5062 yearsG2094. 22AndG2532 when he had removedG3179 himG846, he raised upG1453 unto themG846 DavidG1138 to beG1519 their kingG935; to whomG3739 alsoG2532 he gave testimonyG3140, and saidG3004, I have foundG2147 DavidG1138 theG3588 son of JesseG2421, a manG435 afterG2596 mine ownG1473 heartG3588G2588, whichG3739 shall fulfilG4160 allG3956 myG1473 willG3588G2307. 23OfG575 this man’sG3778 seedG3588G4690 hathG1453 GodG3588G2316 according toG2596 his promiseG1860 raisedG1453 unto IsraelG2474 a SaviourG4990, JesusG2424: 24WhenG4296 JohnG2491 had first preachedG4296 beforeG4253 hisG846 comingG3588G1529 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 to allG3956 the peopleG3588G2992 of IsraelG2474. 25AndG1161 asG5613 JohnG3588G2491 fulfilledG4137 his courseG3588G1408, he saidG3004, WhomG5101 think ye thatG5282 IG1473 amG1510? IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 he. ButG235, beholdG3708, there cometh oneG2064 afterG3326 meG1473, whoseG3739 shoesG3588G5266 ofG3588G4228 his feetG3588G4228 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 to looseG3089. 26MenG435 and brethrenG80, childrenG5207 of the stockG1085 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 whosoeverG3588 amongG1722 youG4771 fearethG5399 GodG3588G2316, to youG4771 isG649 the wordG3588G3056 of thisG3778 salvationG3588G4991 sentG649. 27ForG1063 they that dwellG2730 atG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 theirG846 rulersG3588G758, because they knewG50 himG3778 notG50, nor yetG2532 the voicesG3588G5456 of the prophetsG3588G4396 whichG3588 are readG314 everyG3956 sabbath dayG4521, they have fulfilledG4137 them in condemningG2919 him. 28AndG2532 though they foundG2147 noG3367 causeG156 of deathG2288 in him, yet desired theyG154 PilateG4091 that heG846 should be slainG337. 29AndG1161 whenG5613 they had fulfilledG5055 allG537 that was writtenG1125 ofG4012 himG846, they tookG2507 him downG2507 fromG575 the treeG3588G3586, and laidG5087 him inG1519 a sepulchreG3419. 30ButG1161 GodG2316 raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498: 31AndG3739 he was seenG3708 manyG4119 daysG2250 of them which came up withG3588G4872 himG846 fromG575 GalileeG3588G1056 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, whoG3748 areG1510 hisG846 witnessesG3144 untoG4314 the peopleG3588G2992. 32AndG2532 weG1473 declareG2097 unto youG4771 glad tidingsG2097, how that the promiseG1860 which was madeG1096 untoG4314 the fathersG3588G3962, 33GodG3588G2316 hath fulfilledG1603 the sameG3778 unto usG1473 theirG846 childrenG3588G5043, in that he hath raised upG450 JesusG2424 againG450; asG5613 it isG1125 alsoG2532 writtenG1125 inG1722 the secondG1208 psalmG3588G5568, ThouG4771 artG1510 myG1473 SonG5207, this dayG4594 haveG1080 IG1473 begottenG1080 theeG4771. 34AndG1161 as concerning thatG3754 he raisedG450 himG846 upG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498, now no moreG3371 to returnG5290 toG1519 corruptionG1312, he saidG2046 on this wiseG3779, I will giveG1325 youG4771 the sureG3588G4103 merciesG3588G3741 of DavidG1138. 35WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 anotherG2087 psalm, Thou shaltG1325 notG3756 sufferG1325 thineG4771 Holy OneG3741 to seeG3708 corruptionG1312. 36ForG1063 DavidG1138, after he had servedG5256 his ownG2398 generationG1074 by the willG1012 of GodG3588G2316, fell on sleepG2837, andG2532 was laidG4369 untoG4314 hisG846 fathersG3588G3962, andG2532 sawG3708 corruptionG1312: 37ButG1161 he, whomG3739 GodG3588G2316 raised againG1453, sawG3708 noG3756 corruptionG1312.

38Be itG1510 knownG1110 unto youG4771 thereforeG3767, menG435 and brethrenG80, thatG3754 throughG1223 this manG3778 is preachedG2605 unto youG4771 the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266: 39AndG2532 byG1722 himG3778 allG3956 that believeG4100 are justifiedG1344 fromG575 all thingsG3956, from whichG3739 ye couldG1410 notG3756 be justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3588G3551 of MosesG3475. 40BewareG991 thereforeG3767, lestG3361 that comeG1904 uponG1909 youG4771, which is spoken ofG2046 inG1722 the prophetsG3588G4396; 41BeholdG3708, ye despisersG3588G2707, andG2532 wonderG2296, andG2532 perishG853: forG3754 IG1473 workG2038 a workG2041 inG1722 yourG4771 daysG3588G2250, a workG2041 whichG3739 ye shallG4100 in no wiseG3756 believeG4100, thoughG1437 a manG5100 declare itG1555 unto youG4771. 42AndG1161 whenG1826 the JewsG2453 were goneG1826 out ofG1537 the synagogueG3588G4864, the GentilesG3588G1484 besoughtG3870 that theseG3778 wordsG3588G4487 might be preachedG2980 to themG846 the nextG3342 sabbathG4521. 43NowG1161 whenG3089 the congregationG3588G4864 was broken upG3089, manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 andG2532 religiousG4576 proselytesG4339 followedG190 PaulG3588G3972 andG2532 BarnabasG3588G921: whoG3748, speakingG4354 to themG846, persuadedG3982 themG846 to continue inG1961 the graceG3588G5485 of GodG3588G2316.

44AndG1161 the nextG2064 sabbath dayG4521 cameG4863 almostG4975 the wholeG3956 cityG3588G4172 togetherG4863 to hearG191 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316. 45ButG1161 whenG3708 the JewsG2453 sawG3708 the multitudesG3588G3793, they were filledG4130 with envyG2205, andG2532 spake againstG483 those things which were spokenG3004 byG5259 PaulG3588G3972, contradictingG483 andG2532 blasphemingG987. 46ThenG1161 PaulG3588G3972 andG2532 BarnabasG3588G921 waxed boldG3955, and saidG3004, It wasG1510 necessaryG316 that the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316 shouldG2980 firstG4412 have been spokenG2980 to youG4771: butG1161 seeingG1894 ye putG683 itG846 from youG683, andG2532 judgeG2919 yourselvesG1438 unworthyG514 of everlastingG166 lifeG2222, loG3708, we turnG4762 toG1519 the GentilesG3588G1484. 47ForG1063 soG3779 hathG1781 the LordG3588G2962 commandedG1781 usG1473, saying, I have setG5087 theeG4771 to beG1519 a lightG5457 of the GentilesG1484, that thouG4771 shouldest beG1510 forG1519 salvationG4991 untoG2193 the endsG2078 of the earthG3588G1093. 48AndG1161 whenG191 the GentilesG3588G1484 heard thisG191, they were gladG5463, andG2532 glorifiedG1392 the wordG3588G3056 of the LordG3588G2962: andG2532 as many asG3745 wereG1510 ordainedG5021 toG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222 believedG4100. 49AndG1161 the wordG3588G3056 of the LordG3588G2962 was publishedG1308 throughoutG1223 allG3650 the regionG3588G5561. 50ButG1161 the JewsG3588G2453 stirred upG3951 the devoutG3588G4576 andG2532 honourableG3588G2158 womenG1135, andG2532 the chief menG3588G4413 of the cityG3588G4172, andG2532 raisedG1892 persecutionG1375 againstG1909 PaulG3588G3972 andG2532 BarnabasG3588G921, andG2532 expelledG1544 themG846 out ofG575 theirG846 coastsG3588G3725. 51ButG1161 they shook offG1621 the dustG3588G2868 of theirG846 feetG3588G4228 againstG1909 themG846, and cameG2064 untoG1519 IconiumG2430. 52AndG1161 the disciplesG3101 were filledG4137 with joyG5479, andG2532 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
