⁴⁴The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. ⁴⁵^gBut ^hwhen the Jews⁴ saw the crowds, they were filled with ⁱjealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, ^jreviling him. ⁴⁶And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God ^kbe spoken first to you. ^lSince you thrust it aside and judge yourselves ^munworthy of eternal life, behold, we ⁿare turning to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷^oFor so the Lord has commanded us, saying,

^p“ ‘I have made you ^qa light for the Gentiles,

that you may ^rbring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”

⁴⁸And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and ^sglorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed. ⁴⁹And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region. ⁵⁰^tBut the Jews incited the devout ^uwomen of high standing and the leading men of the city, ^vstirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and ^wdrove them out of their district. ⁵¹But they ^xshook off the dust from their feet against them and went to Iconium. ⁵²And the disciples were filled ^ywith joy and ^zwith the Holy Spirit.
