44 Paul Turns to the Gentiles44 The next Sabbath nearly the whole city assembled to hear the word ofzthe Lord. 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and wereaablaspheming. 46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first; since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles. 47 For so the Lord has commanded us,‘I HAVE PLACED YOU AS A LIGHT FOR THE GENTILES, THAT YOU MAYabBRING SALVATION TO THE END OF THE EARTH.’” | |
48 When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word ofacthe Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was being spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited theaddevout women of prominence and the leading men of the city, and instigated a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of theiraedistrict. 51 But they shook off the dust of their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. |
