44_ACT_13_01 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.
44_ACT_13_02 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.
44_ACT_13_03 And when they had fasted And prayed, And laid [ their] hands on them, they sent [ them] away.
44_ACT_13_04 So they, being sent forth by the holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; And from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
44_ACT_13_05 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.
44_ACT_13_06 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found A certain sorcerer, A false prophet, A Jew, whose name [ was] Barjesus:
44_ACT_13_07 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.
44_ACT_13_08 but Elymas the sorcerer [ for So Is his name by interpretation] withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
44_ACT_13_09 Then Saul, [ who also [ Is called] Paul,] filled with the holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
44_ACT_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?
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_13_12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the LORD.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_13_16 Then Paul stood up, And beckoning with [ his] hand said, men of Israel, And ye that Fear God, give audience.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_13_18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
44_ACT_13_19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
44_ACT_13_20 And after that he gave [ unto them] judges about the space of four hundred And fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_13_23 of this man's seed hath God according to [ his] promise raised unto Israel A Saviour, Jesus:
44_ACT_13_24 when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_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].
44_ACT_13_28 And though they found no cause of death [ in him], yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_13_30 but God raised him from the dead:
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_13_32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_13_35 Wherefore he saith also in another [ Psalm], thou shalt not suffer thine holy one to see corruption.
44_ACT_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:
44_ACT_13_37 but he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
44_ACT_13_38 be it known unto you therefore, men [ And] brethren, that through this man Is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_13_40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which Is spoken of in the prophets;
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_13_44 And the next sabbath day came Almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_13_49 And the word of the LORD was published throughout all the region.
44_ACT_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.
44_ACT_13_51 but they shook off the dust of their feet against them, And came unto Iconium.
44_ACT_13_52 And the disciples were filled with joy, And with the holy Ghost.
