Acts 13:42 So1161 when1826 the Jews2453 went out1826 of1537 the synagogue,4864 the Gentiles1484 begged3870 that these5023 words4487 might be preached2980 to them8461519 the next3342 Sabbath.452143 Now1161 when3089 the synagogue4864 broke up,3089 many4183 of the Jews2453 and2532 of the devout4576 proselytes4339 followed190 Paul3972 and2532 Barnabas;921 who,3748 speaking4354 to them,846 urged3982 them846 to continue in1961 the grace5485 of God.231644 The1161 next2064 Sabbath4521 almost4975 the whole3956 city4172 was gathered4863 together4863 to hear191 the word3056 of God.231645 But1161 when1492 the Jews2453 saw1492 the multitudes,3793 they were filled4130 with jealousy,2205 and2532 contradicted483 the things which were spoken3004 by5259 Paul,3972 and2532 blasphemed.987
Acts 13:46 Paul3972 and2532 Barnabas921 spoke out boldly,3955 and said,2036 "It was2258 necessary316 that God's2316 word3056 should2980 be spoken2980 to you5213 first.44121161 Since1894 indeed you5213 thrust683 it846 from you,683 and2532 judge2919 yourselves1438 unworthy5143756 of eternal166 life,2222 behold,2400 we turn4762 to1519 the Gentiles.148447{Isaiah 49:6} For1063 so3779 has1781 the Lord2962 commanded1781 us,2254 saying, ‘I have set5087 you4571 as1519 a light5457 for the Gentiles,1484 that you4571 should1511 bring1519 salvation4991 to2193 the uttermost parts2078 of the earth.'"1093
Acts 13:481161 As191 the Gentiles1484 heard this,191 they were glad,5463 and2532 glorified1392 the word3056 of God.2962 As2532 many as3745 were2258 appointed5021 to1519 eternal166 life2222 believed.410049 The1161 Lord's2962 word3056 was spread1308 abroad throughout1223 all3650 the region.556150 But1161 the Jews2453 stirred up3951 the devout4576 and2532 prominent2158 women1135 and2532 the chief men4413 of the city,4172 and2532 stirred1892 up a persecution1375 against1909 Paul3972 and2532 Barnabas,921 and2532 threw1544 them846 out of575 their846 borders.372551 But1161 they shook off1621 the dust2868 of their846 feet4228 against1909 them,846 and came2064 to1519 Iconium.243052 The1161 disciples3101 were filled4137 with joy54792532 with the Holy40 Spirit.4151
