AC-13:1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain

prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called

Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought
up

with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

AC-13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy
Ghost

said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have

called them.

AC-13:3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid [their]
hands

on them, they sent [them] away.

AC-13:4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed
unto

Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

AC-13:5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of

God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to
[their]

minister.

AC-13:6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos,
they

found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name
[was]

Barjesus:

AC-13:7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius
Paulus, a

prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to
hear

the word of God.

AC-13:8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by

interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy
from

the faith.

AC-13:9 Then Saul, (who also [is called] Paul,) filled with the

Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

AC-13:10 And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief,
[thou]

child of the devil, [thou] enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou
not

cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

AC-13:11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee,
and

thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And

immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went

about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

AC-13:12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed,

being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

AC-13:13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they

came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them
returned to

Jerusalem.

AC-13:14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to
Antioch in

Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat

down.

AC-13:15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the

rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, [Ye] men [and]

brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say
on.

AC-13:16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with [his] hand said,

Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

AC-13:17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and

exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of

Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

AC-13:18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their

manners in the wilderness.

AC-13:19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of

Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

AC-13:20 And after that he gave [unto them] judges about the
space

of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

AC-13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto
them

Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the
space of

forty years.

AC-13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them
David

to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I
have

found David the [son] of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which

shall fulfil all my will.

AC-13:23 Of this man's seed hath God according to [his] promise

raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

AC-13:24 When John had first preached before his coming the
baptism

of repentance to all the people of Israel.

AC-13:25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think
ye

that I am? I am not [he]. But, behold, there cometh one after me,

whose shoes of [his] feet I am not worthy to loose.

AC-13:26 Men [and] brethren, children of the stock of Abraham,
and

whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this

salvation sent.

AC-13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers,

because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets
which

are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled [them] in
condemning

[him].

AC-13:28 And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet

desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

AC-13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of
him,

they took [him] down from the tree, and laid [him] in a
sepulchre.

AC-13:30 But God raised him from the dead:

AC-13:31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with
him

from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

AC-13:32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the
promise

which was made unto the fathers,

AC-13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in

that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the

second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

AC-13:34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead,

[now] no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I
will

give you the sure mercies of David.

AC-13:35 Wherefore he saith also in another [psalm], Thou shalt
not

suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

AC-13:36 For David, after he had served his own generation by
the

will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and
saw

corruption:

AC-13:37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

AC-13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men [and] brethren,
that

through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

AC-13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all
things,

from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

AC-13:40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is
spoken

of in the prophets;

AC-13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I
work a

work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe,
though

a man declare it unto you.

AC-13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the

Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the

next sabbath.

AC-13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the
Jews

and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who,
speaking

to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

AC-13:44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city

together to hear the word of God.

AC-13:45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled

with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by
Paul,

contradicting and blaspheming.

AC-13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was

necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to
you:

but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of

everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

AC-13:47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set

thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for

salvation unto the ends of the earth.

AC-13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and

glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to

eternal life believed.

AC-13:49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all
the

region.

AC-13:50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable
women,

and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against
Paul

and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

AC-13:51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them,

and came unto Iconium.

AC-13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the
Holy

Ghost.
