Acts 13:46–47

46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you afirst; since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, bwe are turning to the Gentiles.

47 “For so the Lord has commanded us,

‘aI have placed You as a blight for the Gentiles,

That You may 1bring salvation to the end of the earth.’ ”
