Acts 13:44–52

⁴⁴And on the coming sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God. ⁴⁵But the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and contradicted the things said by Paul, contradicting and speaking injuriously. ⁴⁶And Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken to you; but, since ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the nations; ⁴⁷for thus has the Lord enjoined us: I have set thee for a light of the nations, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth. ⁴⁸And those of the nations, hearing it, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord, and believed, as many as were ordained to eternal life. ⁴⁹And the word of the Lord was carried through the whole country. ⁵⁰But the Jews excited the women of the upper classes who were worshippers, and the first people of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their coasts. ⁵¹But they, having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium. ⁵²And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
