14 But when they departed from pPerga, they came to uAntioch in xPisidia, and went yinto the synagogue yzon the sabbath day, and sat down. 15 And 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. 16 Then Paul stood up, and fbeckoning with his hand said,

Men of Israel, and gye that fear God, give audience. 17 hThe 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. 18 And about the time of mforty years †suffered he their manners in the wilderness. 19 And when nhe had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, ohe divided their land to them by lot. 20 And after that phe gave unto them judges about the space of qfour hundred and fifty years, until rSamuel the prophet. 21 And 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. 22 And 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. 23 bOf this man’s seed hath God according cto his promise raised unto Israel da Saviour, Jesus: 24 When eJohn had first preached before his fcoming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And 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. 26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and iwhosoever among you feareth God, kto you is the word of this salvation sent. 27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and ltheir rulers, mbecause they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets nwhich are read every sabbath day, they have ofulfilled them in condemning him. 28 And pthough they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. 29 And when qthey had fulfilled all that was written of him, rthey took him down from sthe tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. 30 But tGod raised him from the dead: 31 And uhe was seen many days of them which vcame up with him wfrom Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his xwitnesses unto the people. 32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that ythe promise which was made unto the fathers, 33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath traised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, zThou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 34 And as concerning that he traised him up from the dead, now no more ato return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you bthe sure †mercies of David. 35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, cThou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 36 For David, ||after he had served his own generation by the will of God, dfell on sleep, and was elaid unto his fathers, and asaw corruption: 37 But he, whom God raised again, asaw no corruption. 38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that fthrough this man is preached unto you the gforgiveness of sins: 39 And hby him all that believe are ijustified from all things, kfrom which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. 40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in lthe prophets; 41 mBehold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, nthe Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them †othe next sabbath. 43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and preligious qproselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, rpersuaded them to continue in sthe grace of God. 44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. 45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, tthey were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and ublaspheming. 46 Then Paul and Barnabas xwaxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should yfirst have been spoken to you: but zseeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves aunworthy of everlasting life, lo, bwe turn to the Gentiles. 47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, cI have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. 48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and das many as were ordained to eternal life believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region. 50 But ethe Jews stirred up the fdevout and ghonourable women, and hthe chief men of the city, and iraised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. 51 But they kshook off the dust of their feet kagainst them, and came unto lIconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with mjoy, and with nthe Holy Ghost.

14 And it came to pass in aIconium, that they went both together binto the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. 2 But cthe unbelieving Jews dstirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against ethe brethren. 3 Long time therefore abode they fspeaking boldly in the Lord, gwhich gave testimony unto hthe word of his grace, and granted isigns and wonders to be done by their hands. 4 *But the multitude of the city was divided: and jpart held with the Jews, and part with the kapostles. 5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, lto use them despitefully, and to stone them, 6 They were mware of it, and nfled unto oLystra and pDerbe, cities of qLycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about: 7 And there they preached the gospel.

8 And there sat a certain man at oLystra, impotent in his feet, rbeing a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked: 9 The same heard Paul speak: who sstedfastly beholding him, and tperceiving that he had faith uto be healed, 10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he xleaped and walked. 11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they ylifted up their voices, saying in the speech of qLycaonia, zThe gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. 12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. 13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto athe gates, and bwould have done sacrifice with the people. 14 Which when cthe apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, dthey rent their clothes, and eran in among the people, crying out, 15 And saying, Sirs, fwhy do ye these things? We also are men gof like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should hturn from these ivanities unto jthe living God, kwhich made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: 16 Who in times past lsuffered all nations mto walk in their own ways. 17 nNevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and ogave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with pfood and qgladness. 18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

19 And rthere came thither certain Jews from sAntioch and tIconium, who persuaded the people, and, uhaving stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. 20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to xDerbe. 21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and †had taught many, they returned again to yLystra, and to tIconium, and sAntioch, 22 zConfirming the souls of the disciples, and aexhorting them to continue in the faith, and that bwe must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. 23 And when they had cordained them delders in every church, and had prayed with efasting, they fcommended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
