Acts 13:13–25

¹³Now when ⁿPaul and his company loosed from ^oPaphos, they came to ^pPerga in ^qPamphylia: and ^rJohn ^sdeparting from them returned ^tto Jerusalem. ¹⁴But when they departed from ^pPerga, they came to ^uAntioch in ^xPisidia, and went ^yinto the synagogue ^yzon the sabbath day, and sat down. ¹⁵And after the reading of ^athe law and ^bthe prophets ^cthe rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any ^dword of ^deexhortation for the people, say on. ¹⁶Then Paul stood up, and ^fbeckoning with his hand said,

Men of Israel, and ^gye that fear God, give audience. ^17hThe God of this people of Israel ⁱchose our fathers, and exalted the people ^kwhen they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and ^lwith an high arm brought he them out of it. ¹⁸And about the time of ^mforty years ^†suffered he their manners in the wilderness. ¹⁹And when ⁿhe had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, ^ohe divided their land to them by lot. ²⁰And after that ^phe gave unto them judges about the space of ^qfour hundred and fifty years, until ^rSamuel the prophet. ²¹And afterward ^sthey desired a king: and ^tGod gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, ^ua man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years. ²²And ^wwhen he had removed him, ^xhe raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, ^yI have found David the son of Jesse, ^za man after mine own heart, ^awhich shall fulfil all my will. ^23bOf this man’s seed hath God according ^cto his promise raised unto Israel ^da Saviour, Jesus: ²⁴When ^eJohn had first preached before his ^fcoming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵And as John ^gfulfilled his course, he said, ^hWhom 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.
