⁴⁴And on the coming Sabbath, nearly the whole city came together to hear the word of the Lord. ⁴⁵But when^* the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and began contradicting what was being said by Paul by^* reviling him.^* ⁴⁶Both Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and^* said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you, since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life! Behold, we are turning to the Gentiles! ⁴⁷For so the Lord has commanded us:

‘I have appointed you to be^m a light for the Gentiles,

that you would bringⁿ salvation to the end of the earth.’^o

⁴⁸And when^* the Gentiles heard this,^* they began to rejoice^* and to glorify the word of the Lord. And all those who were designated for eternal life believed. ⁴⁹So the word of the Lord was carried through the whole region. ⁵⁰But the Jews incited the devout women of high social standing and the most prominent men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and threw them out of their district. ⁵¹So after^* shaking off the dust from their feet against them, they went to Iconium. ⁵²And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
