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.
