Acts 13:47–52

47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:

I have made you

a light for the Gentiles

to bring salvation

to the ends of the earth.”A ,a

48 When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and honored the word of the Lord, and all who had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited the prominent God-fearing women and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their district.b 51 But Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feetc against themd and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.e
